"If you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go...

An Enemy Has Done This: Globalism, the Conciliar Church, and Crippled Consciences“There is only one universal Church of the faithful, outside of which no one can be saved.” (Innocent III and the Fourth Ecumenical Council of the Lateran, 1215) In his 1968 book about the aftermath of Vatican II, Is it the Same Church?, Frank Sheed described the way in which Catholic views on contraception changed in the 1960s:“Up to, say, 1960 it was assumed by everyone, inside the Church and outside, that the Church taught definitively and unchangeably that artificial contraception was a grave sin. Catholics who used it...

A sham from the very beginning. One of Willis' main claims was that electors for Trump engaged in an 'unlawful conspiracy' to overturn the election. According to bombshell transcripts, Willis' allegations appear to be false.

This makes Europe the biggest customer for Russian LNG; only the U.S. sells more LNG to the bloc.… After the invasion, European...

As instances of Mitch McConnell’s cognitive rot increase, a leftist admits without him, “things could get very scary.” The Democrats love Republican Mitch McConnell. He’s a reliable and flexible ally, and he is always willing to cut deals with the White House and Senate colleagues. Obviously though, this must be done behind closed doors, away from the prying eyes of the public, because heaven forbid that voters see how the sausage gets made, and with whom our politicians’ allegiances really are. Mitch has always been willing to trash President Trump but yet rarely says anything bad about Joe Biden, and...

“Genghis Khan was a mass murderer, but at least he wasn’t an American Catholic Reactionary!”No wars of conquest in all of history killed as many people as those of Genghis Khan: an estimated 40 million dead, an amount that wouldn’t be reached (in absolute numbers) until the Second World War, though never surpassed in proportion to the global population at the time.So, what did Francis do?

...Western countries—and especially France—as having conspired to keep Africa in a permanent state of subordination. Such is the prevailing view in Niger, which was ruled by France until 1960 and where France stationed a large contingent of counterterrorism forces as part of a deal with the previous government. The view is also widespread in ex-French colonies across the Sahel, where many people have grown disillusioned with civilian governments they see as subservient to France and therefore welcome military rulers as a necessary corrective. This perspective has two complementary facets, one critical of France and the West and one welcoming of...
