[Catholic Caucus] Full interview: Cardinal attacks Dubia cardinals:refuses to confirm that they are of good willThe Prefect of the Cause of Saints reproaches his 'companions' for not understanding that 'Ecclesia Semper reformanda'Cardinal Semeraro on the Dubia cardinals: “The Pope is hurt, but serene”“The responses to the 'dubia' have been more than enough. Because they explain very well that we must understand that dogma also has to advance, that faith also has to progress.”"Why, then, are these five of our companions not bothered that the Church does not approve the death penalty or just war? The attitude of these cardinals is...

In answer to the question of whether Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala) should be removed from the Senate Armed Services Committee, Michael Hayden, the former CIA Director under President Bush, called for him to be "removed from the human race." His animus toward the Senator was inspired by Tuberville's refusal to allow blanket "unanimous consent" approval of military promotions. This refusal is in protest over using taxpayer money to pay for military personnel to travel to another state to get an abortion. Promotions could be made on a case-by-case basis, but Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) refuses to schedule any...

Just reported. One BILLION funneled to the UN who gave funds to HAMAS

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 Here’s the kicker in gag order. It applies to what Jack Smith called “surrogates” in his proposed order. This in effect gags Trump’s campaign spokesmen, advisors, and anyone DOJ/Chutkan views as “others” tied to Trump. NOT a limited gag order—a contempt trap for Team Trump.

The Israel Defense Forces and Defense Ministry announced Monday that they were planning to evacuate civilians who live in towns up to two kilometers (1.25 miles) from the Lebanese border amid repeated rocket and missile attacks by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian factions in recent days.

VIDEONever before has an apple been used so EFFECTIVELY to help dismantle the dopey premises of a leftwing journalist. In this case Pierre Poilievre the Canadian Conservative Party leader of the Official Opposition beautifully used an apple as a prop to hilariously tear apart the arguments put forth by a leftwing journalist who somehow couldn't take his eyes off the ground. Poilievre showed just how easily, while very calmly munching on an apple, the flawed assumptions of the leftists can be taken apart when they are outside their echo chamber comfort zones.

Twenty-one people from California and New Jersey have been charged in the case, prosecutors...

He was fast and then furious. A man caught speeding down a Georgia freeway was bewildered when cops slapped him with a $1.4 million ticket last month. Connor Cato was driving home through Savannah on Sept. 2 when Georgia State Patrol caught him going 90 in a 55-mile-per-hour zone, he admitted to WSAV-TV. While he expected a hefty fine, Cato was astounded when he was handed the seven-figure charge. He called the court assuming the fee was a typo but was reportedly told he either had to pay the sum or appear in court. “‘$1.4 million,’ the lady told me...

Explaining the passing of a beloved family pet to one's children is an arduous task, fraught with emotional challenges. For Suzanne and Dillon White, this experience took an unexpected turn, making it all the more unique.

The search persisted until the early hours of the morning, only for them to resume their efforts at 6 a.m. However, their endeavors proved fruitless, leaving them with the somber realization that it was time to disclose the unfortunate truth to their three children....

Feminist Phyllis Chesler, who broke with the left two decades ago over its tolerance for antisemitism and Palestinian terror, has written a scathing indictment of fellow feminists who have been silent in the face of documented rapes by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack. Hamas launched a massive assault on Israeli towns near Gaza, killing more than 1,400, wounding more than 4,100, and taking roughly 200 people hostage. In addition, there were widespread reports of rape and sexual assault against Israeli women. Reuters noted on Oct. 14: Around 90% of the military dead have been identified and teams are half...

A bombshell report was released this year evidencing a scandal that ranks among the worst in its evil: the euthanization of patients for the sake of profit. It made enough of a splash to spur new industry protocols but apparently not enough to stop the entrenched practice of hastening the death of hospice patients. The November 2022 report, written by Ava Kofman for ProPublica, shows how hospice conditions create what seems to be an irresistible — and ultimately lethal — opportunity for corruption: The industry rakes in massive funds from Medicare, which delivers a flat daily cash benefit, but hospice...
