[Catholic Caucus] What’s Missing From the SynodThe sincerity of a person is often shown by the sacrifice he is willing to make. For instance, if a student tells a teacher he wants a better grade but won’t do the work necessary to get it, he is being insincere. If the teacher says he is willing to help but won’t put in some extra time himself, he is being insincere. If the student still wants a better grade without the work, what he really wants is, in modern parlance, to be enabled. If the teacher gives a better grade without the...

A key 2021 court ruling and recent precedent in the prosecution of January 6 defendants could give Smith all the ammo he needs to put the former president in jail awaiting trial. ********************************************************** One month after the events of January 6, Beryl Howell—chief judge of the D.C. District Court at the time—developed special guidance for her fellow judges to apply when determining whether a January 6 defendant should be denied bail. While acknowledging the federal bail statute requires courts to consider the “specific conduct of each defendant,” Howell, appointed by Barack Obama in 2010, nevertheless argued that January 6 defendants,...

Former President Trump said it was “a sad thing to see” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) freeze up at the podium during a press conference and called for new leadership atop the Senate GOP. “We have to have that,” Trump said when asked whether he wants to see new leadership after McConnell’s freeze-up last week. Trump offered the comments in an interview on Breitbart News that aired Sunday. Trump said it was “sad” to see McConnell freeze up, while continuing to criticize the way McConnell had led the Senate GOP. “Well, I thought it was sad. At the same...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said that former President Donald Trump still has strong political pull in his state of Pennsylvania, adding that he sees “Trump signs everywhere.” Fetterman issued his comments about Trump’s status in Pennsylvania when speaking with the New York Times last week about the political fallout surrounding the former president’s indictment. “It doesn’t matter. I’m a senator, and I’m not sure how many times he’s been indicted. He’s been impeached twice. Has that changed anything? You’re still seeing Trump signs everywhere in Pennsylvania. You have to respect his strength in all of that,” he said.

Mark Zuckerberg’s hundreds of millions of tax-deductible “Zuckbucks” that boosted turnout in heavily Democrat areas in 2020 made him my enemy. I feel no shame at reveling in his mounting misfortunes in business, even as Meta, his rebranded name for Facebook, remains robustly profitable. Actually, that profitability, the result of Facebook and Google utterly dominating the online advertising business, and this depriving AT and every other conservative website of the ad dollars we need to stay alive (while keeping a lid on the viral distribution we need), is yet another reason to hate him, come to think of it. So,...

I received an email from a friend with a link to an article in Business Insider. The title of the article follows: "A shortage of accountants is pushing the industry to reboot its image to win over young talent: 'You have to sell them.'" The awfully long title is pretty much all the substance in the article. It lacks any real usefulness when it comes to asking what really caused this problem. If you do a search for "accountant shortage," you will find pages of these articles.My friend sent me the article because he knows that I earned my bachelor's...

The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, one that is virtually endorsed by two of the world’s leading scientific organizations. It turns out that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year-and-a-half, and water vapor is well recognized as a greenhouse gas, whose heightened presence leads to higher temperatures, a mechanism that dwarfs any effect CO2 may have.

Biden: “Its my Presidency and I’ll lie if I want to.” As well as demolish the economy to serve his Progressive green energy agenda. One of the casualties? Yellow trucking. Carrier Yellow Corp. ceased all operations at 12 p.m. Sunday, according to a notice on the gates at its terminals. Its stock price is now sub $1. Separate internal documents showed the procedures for closing the facilities as well as “talking points” to be used when informing union employees not to show up for their shifts. The documents indicated the company plans to issue a public statement Monday updating “the...

By way of Corinth and Cincinnati, we have a number of rebel journals -- among them Mobile and Atlanta papers -- which furnish us the following interesting extracts: From the Memphis-Grenada-Jackson-Atlanta Appeal. Since the fall of Vicksburgh, a shadow of gloom seems to have settled upon the countenances of many, and their hopes of triumph to have suffered at least a temporary eclipse. A calm and impartial survey of the past, and comparison of our then with our present situation, and a glance at our future prospects, we think cannot tail to dispel such despondency. Twelve months ago Richmond was...

Wearing her own red one-piece, the 'Charlie's Angels' star posed for the now-famous image in her Los Angeles backyard. For Farrah Fawcett, 1976 was a big year. Besides achieving breakout success on the small screen as one of Charlie's Angels, that was the year her iconic swimsuit poster was released. This pinup poster, which showcased Fawcett's wholesome beauty and sex appeal, would be prominently placed on millions of bedroom and dorm room walls across the United States and around the world. Explored in the special Biography: Farrah Fawcett Forever, it also became a defining feature of the 1970s and is...

The driver of an SUV appeared to intentionally plow into a group of migrant workers — wounding all six — outside a Walmart in North Carolina Sunday afternoon, authorities said. The workers were all taken to a nearby hospital with various injuries after 1 p.m., though none of their wounds seemed to be life-threatening, the Lincolnton Police Department said in a news release. The suspect behind the wheel in what police called an “intentional assault with a vehicle” has yet to be identified and remains at large.

Ukrainian forces have recaptured nearly 15 square km (5.8 square miles) of land from Russian troops in the east and south over the past week during their counteroffensive, a senior defence official said on Monday. Kyiv's forces have now retaken 204.7 sq km in the south since they launched a major push against Russian forces early last month, Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said on the Telegram messaging app. Ukrainian officials have reported slow, steady progress in the counteroffensive, retaking a string of villages and advancing on the flanks of the eastern city of Bakhmut, which Russian forces captured in...

As the Nashville mayor's race hurtles toward Election Day on Thursday, there's increasing concern among the city's Democratic establishment and some business leaders that Republican Alice Rolli will qualify for the runoff election. A slate of recent polling shows Rolli either in second place or close to it. It's a razor-thin margin between three candidates for second place, polls say. Only the top two candidates advance to the runoff, set for Sept. 14. State of play: Nashville voters are reliably Democratic, but with the liberal vote splintered, Rolli has an opening to consolidate enough conservative support to leapfrog the field....
