[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop Fernández suggests Pope Francis might allow people in grave sin to receive CommunionCardinal-designate Victor Fernández stated earlier this year that Pope Francis is ‘helping us to be free from those patterns’ of moral teaching on prohibiting reception of Holy Communion in grave sin.LA PLATA, Argentina (LifeSiteNews) –– With Archbishop Victor Fernández set to become a cardinal and prefect of the Vatican’s doctrinal office in just weeks, the close papal confidant has already signaled that Pope Francis might open the door for people to receive Holy Communion in instances when Catholic teaching prohibits them from doing so.Since the...

Ukraine has selected transgender journalist Sarah Ashton-Cirillo to run its military’s English-language propaganda operations, local outlet Strana reported on Tuesday. Ashton-Cirillo, who was born a man and came out as transgender in 2019, hosts the state-sponsored news program ‘Russia Hates the Truth’ – an official project of the Ukrainian Defense Forces – the purpose of which is said to be “countering Russian propaganda, disinformation and lies.” The news outlet posted a clip from the latest episode of the program, in which the trans voice of Kiev describes the recent drone attacks in Moscow as the culmination of a “prophecy” by...

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat says his office is preparing for the possibility of former President Donald Trump being indicted in Fulton County. He says that, if indicted by a grand jury, the former president will be treated like anyone else accused of a crime, including fingerprints and a mugshot. “Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Sheriff Labat said.

You’ve heard it all. “Inflation has peaked.” “Inflation is no longer a problem.” “Disinflation is now a greater threat.” “Inflation is 0.” These are the greatest hits of government propaganda and misinformation. But this is serious fake news. This kind of lie effects the lives of the entire American middle class. The middle class is being sacrificed. This is the murder of the middle class. *When I go grocery shopping, the bills are through the roof. It doesn’t matter if the cost of bread, butter, eggs, cream cheese, meat, chicken, fish and a hundred other items has stopped rising. That’s...

More than 70 years ago Joseph McCarthy warned America of the growing threat imposed by radical communism. Because he had the fortitude to sound the alarm, supporters of communism vilified him. I think it's safe to say that his legacy can now live on having been vindicated. As Americans, we should never again destroy the character of a courageous patriot.

First, would Democrats support getting rid of the Motion Picture ratings code, so then anyone of any age could watch any movie in movie theaters? It seems that according to liberals, it’s “censorship” to give some movies PG-13, R, and NC-17 ratings. Such ratings prevent many children from seeing many movies. Democrats seem to be arguing that children, no matter their age, should be allowed — and sometimes required — to watch anything if Democrats approve of it. Second, will published information in the future require a liberal elite imprimatur, a “nihil obstat” that means the worldly establishment approves?

The indictment of President Trump yesterday by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith in Washington D.C. revolves heavily around the unproven assertion that the 2020 Election was legitimate, free from fraud and that President Trump “knowingly” asserted “baseless claims” of election fraud. President Trump’s team was constricted immensely by a ridiculously narrow window of just a few weeks to compile data from an obfuscated election system that was bolstered by unprecedented COVID-19 mail-in balloting rules put in place. It was reminiscent of the Wild, Wild West. And still, cases were brought, and quickly dismissed, typically using procedural justifications such as “standing” or...

Wikipedia is one of many tools used by the US liberal establishment and its allies in the intelligence community to wage “information warfare,” the site’s co-founder, Larry Sanger, has told journalist Glenn Greenwald. Speaking on Greenwald’s ‘System Update’ podcast, Sanger lamented how the site he helped found in 2001 has become an instrument of “control” in the hands of the left-liberal establishment, among which he counts the CIA, FBI, and other US intelligence agencies. “We do have evidence that, as early as 2008, that CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia,” he said. “Do you think that they...

Chris Tigani, a Delaware businessman who served two years in prison for illegal campaign donations to Joe Biden, is speaking out to ensure Hunter Biden is held to the same legal standard that landed himself and other Americans who committed similar offenses behind bars. "They were protecting the Bidens then, they’re protecting the Bidens now, and I think the evidence is overwhelming," Tigani said on "The Story" Tuesday. In 2007, Tigani, a prominent Delaware liquor distributor, said he was approached by Hunter Biden and his late brother Beau, who requested $75,000 to cover the cost of billboards in Iowa for...

I was listening to the Regional Management Conference call on earnings today, August 2, 2023 at 4 p.m. and pressed the appropriate key strokes to ask a question. However, the Regional Management company decided not to take my call and allowed others to ask questions which were obviously tilted in RM's favor. My question was going to be why net credit losses were much greater in a year-to-year comparison from 2022 to 2023 (68058 in '22 and 97619 in '23) as well as why there was a significant increase in Provision for credit losses from 76258 in '22 to 100219...

Laboratory equipment maker Thermo Fisher Scientific has settled a lawsuit brought by the estate of Henrietta Lacks, a long-deceased cancer victim whose “immortal” cells have lived on to fuel biomedical research for decades, lawyers for the estate have said. The story of Lacks, a young African American woman who died in Baltimore in 1951, was made famous in Rebecca Skloot’s 2010 book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, which became a movie in 2017 featuring Oprah Winfrey. The HeLa cell line, the first to survive and reproduce indefinitely in lab conditions, has been cultivated in vast quantities and used in...

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath." Luke, Chapter 11 1 And it came...

The Department of Defense (DOD) has quietly implemented controversial adolescent health policies throughout the military health system (MHS) that kick in when children turn 12 years old. Because the official policies are hard to find and are not posted publicly at base clinics, most parents are shocked to find out that doctors prefer to treat their adolescent children in a completely parent-free setting. Parents are outraged to be treated as if they cannot be trusted to guide their own children. Here is my story detailing a quest for answers on why online medical record access is limited and why I...

The King’s College in New York City is no longer offering courses in the upcoming fall semester, is laying off its entire faculty and is closing its current chapter according to the board of trustees, staff interviews and updates from the school’s accreditor. Since the end of the 2023 spring semester, members of the King’s community received periodic emails from the board containing updates about the state of the college. The emails mostly concerned the college’s accreditation appeal and an assurance that the board was diligently engaged in “discussions with another Christian university related to a strategic alliance.” In late...

Indonesian police have brought blasphemy and hate speech charges against the head of a controversial Islamic boarding school, following public uproar over its teachings, including unorthodox treatment of women and use of Hebrew. Panji Gumilang, head of the Al-Zaytun school in conservative West Java province, was named a suspect by police on Tuesday (Aug 1), national police official Djuhandhani Rahardjo told reporters, and faces a maximum 10 years in prison if found guilt of blasphemy and hate speech. Founded in 1996 and home to roughly 5,000 students, the boarding school has caused a stir with practices like allowing men and...

Alderson Broaddus University (ABU), a Baptist school in West Virginia, finds itself in the middle of a significant financial crisis and is on the brink of shutting down. This week, during an emergency meeting of West Virginia’s Higher Education Policy Commission and other state officials, the decision was made to pull its authorization while also preparing an order that calls for the school to wind down operations. Having ABU’s authorization pulled means it will no longer be able to confer degrees after December 31 of this year. The order to wind down the operation of the school is a wide...

Momentous things are setting into motion geopolitically all over the globe, most notably in Africa. A coup took down the president of Niger, a country of critical importance to France and the NATO bloc. The Atlanticists are extremely worried now:… France is the #1 country in the world for total percentage of nuclear use for energy generation, and #2 in total number of nuclear power plants. I’ve seen figures that Niger supplies upwards of 40% of France’s Uranium, though some have it in the 15-25% range, as well as 25% to the EU itself.… Naturally, Ukraine blames Russia:…. What Podolyak...

hardware store in California’s Bay Area had an eye-watering $700,000 in merchandise stolen in a single year — as organized retail theft runs rampant in the Democrat-run state. Dale Hardware in Fremont documented record losses in 2022 due to the brazen larceny, owner Kyle Smith told The Mercury News. He said his business loses about $1,800 a day — and that his grandfather, who first began the business in 1955, would “roll in his grave” if he knew the financial hardship the store was facing as a result of the scourge. “You’ll go, ‘Sir, sir, sir!’ and they don’t even...

Promoting impunity for violating rights as a policy tool? What could go wrong? Some ideas are so terrible that combining them into a cocktail of awfulness makes rotten sense. So it is with gun control and qualified immunity: Why not mix impunity for violating basic rights with denial of a specific right so as to maximize the harm? At least, that's the inspiration that struck two law professors who propose qualified immunity for enforcing even overtly unconstitutional gun control measures. While the duo sees the idea as much as a means of weakening officials' protections from liability as for promoting...
