[Catholic Caucus] A Novus Ordo Priest on Traditionis Custodes I will preface this post by stating that I do not consider myself to be a "traditionalist," at least not in the ways the term is often used today. I accept, believe, and teach everything that the Catholic Church holds to be revealed by God - nothing more, nothing less. I do not offer the Traditional Mass exclusively, but I have serious problems with the way folks are being treated when they simply want to worship in a rite that is unquestionably Catholic, even if they wish to do so exclusively.For...

Okay, this is by far my favorite video on the internet right now. Check out the reaction from this cat as this man speaks some of the most fluent "feline" I've ever heard come out of a human. VIDEO AT LINK............. That is one confused kitty cat! Man, this guy should teach an online course in cat language I know I'd take it. Either way, gonna have to go try this trick on the neighborhood cats once I log off of work today.

Many people underestimate the .22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridge. It is the most common cartridge in the world. It is capable of killing men and large animals. Three years ago, AmmoLand documented 20 incidents where .22 rimfire was used to kill all three types of bears in North America. Black bears are the most common, followed by grizzly/brown bears and, occasionally, polar bears. Since the 2020 article, four more incidents have been found where bears were shot and killed or so badly wounded they were euthanized as an act of mercy. Of the four bears in this update, one was...

WHY TRUMP'S MESSAGE WORKS. SUMMERVILLE, South Carolina — Former President Donald Trump arrived in this suburb of Charleston, South Carolina, buoyed by a new Washington Post poll that showed him leading President Joe Biden by 10 points in a hypothetical 2024 rematch. "That's a lot," Trump said of his lead. "It's hard for Republicans to lead by that much in the fake news media."Trump then went on to mock the Washington Post for distancing itself from its own poll. "They said this must be an outlier," Trump said, which was an accurate summary of what the Washington Post had indeed...

Former President Donald Trump has a two point lead over President Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 general election matchup as his standing among young voters continues to improve, a poll released Friday shows.An Emerson College poll details Trump ahead with 47 percent to Biden’s 45 percent alongside another eight percent undecided. That’s a rise of two points for Trump compared to Emerson’s poll from last month, while Biden’s support remains static, the Hill reports.The figures affirm the tight race between the White House incumbent and the man who says he wants a return to the highest office in the...

The scales have fallen from the eyes of Henry Kissinger. He was a signatory in 2015 to a letter that urged Congress to pass legislation allowing more Muslims from Syria and Iraq — claiming to be refugees — to be admitted to the United States. Now he looks at Europe, where millions of Muslims have been allowed to settle, where they batten on the benefits provided by those generous welfare states, and sees how they have spread the virus of antisemitism that they brought with them when they arrived. Kissinger was shaken by the murderous antisemitism that was on display...

Actor and hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett has entered rehab. Smollett is currently appealing his case in Chicago for lying about being attacked by Trump supporters after midnight in the freezing cold in an almost purely Democrat city. Is he trying to garner sympathy? Of course, it is possible that Smollett has resorted to substance abuse, knowing that his career is, for the most part, over.

I have great sympathy for ordinary people who are struggling within Gaza,” he argued, while describing the terrorists as having behaved “extraordinarily irresponsibly”.“The US goal right now would be to make sure that the ceasefire holds, that Gaza can begin the process of rebuilding,” Obama said...

And we already have the legislation passed, so I...

Mahmoud al-Zahar is the chief political guide of Hamas. He doesn’t mince words about the goal of terror group. It’s not just to destroy Israel and to replace it with a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea.” It’s not just about killing every last Jew on the planet. No, the fanatical True Believers of Hamas aim at nothing less than creating a world where Islam dominates everywhere, and everywhere, Muslims rule. Daniel Greenfield discussed this here, and here is more about what al-Zahar said less than a year ago: “WATCH: Israel is only the first target, warns Hamas...

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Thousands of information technology workers contracting with U.S. companies have for years secretly sent millions of dollars of their wages to North Korea for use in its ballistic missile program, FBI and Department of Justice officials said. The Justice Department said Wednesday that IT workers dispatched and contracted by North Korea to work remotely with companies in St. Louis and elsewhere in the U.S. have been using false identities to get the jobs. The money they earned was funneled to the North Korean weapons program, FBI leaders said at a news conference in St. Louis. Court...

The Republican primary race is over. While the first official vote cast for the Republican nominee is still roughly three months away, the smears, mugshots, indictments, and other inevitable political tricks to come against Trump will not prevent him from winning the Republican nomination for president for a third time, and easily. Trump’s increasing strength signals that voters won’t settle for “just any Republican.” If Republican candidates truly want to ensure Biden (or another Democrat) is denied a chance to continue his carnage, they should drop out immediately and rally behind Trump. While you shouldn’t count on that happening, that...

At least 400 Congressional staffers have anonymously signed a letter urging members of Congress to push for a cease-fire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. Hamas carried out a deadly terrorist attack on multiple locations in southern Israel Oct. 7, killing over 1,400 people, including at least 30 Americans, while also taking over 200 hostages. The letter, a copy of which was posted on X by Intercept congressional correspondent Ryan Grim, claims that over 4,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed since Israel launched military operations. Politico first reported on the letter, which didn’t indicate the total number of signatories. The...

The news created shockwaves around the world. Those evil, genocidal Israelis bombed a hospital in Gaza, resulting in hundreds of deaths. And this was not just a hospital caring for the sick and the wounded. It was a hospital where civilians were taking cover, including many children. Yet these monstrous Israelis targeted it for destruction, causing outrage and cries for vengeance around the globe, especially in the Muslim world. Of course, that’s not what happened.

According to Breitbart, Steve Scalise (R-LA) is the driving force behind the twenty-two RINOs who have prevented Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) from clenching the House Speakership after two rounds of votes. Trump-endorsed Jordan is the clear choice of grassroots conservatives. A top House GOP aide reported, “[Constituents] are literally melting the phone lines. Some offices’ numbers are permanently busy. Thousands and thousands of people are calling their members of Congress demanding Jordan for Speaker.” (snip) In fact, thirteen of the twenty-two holdout RINOs also accepted donations from Ryan Salame – almost all of them maximum donations.The RINOs who...

UC Davis is responding to a provocative social media post it said was apparently made by one of its faculty members. A post made on X, formerly known as Twitter, said that "Zionist journalists" should be in fear, and those words were followed by knife and blood drop emojis.

China may be accelerating its efforts to develop a nuclear arsenal, according to a new report from the Pentagon, as part of its ongoing efforts to modernize and revamp its fighting forces in order to match American military capabilities. The latest assessment from the defense department said China had increased its arsenal of operational nuclear warheads from the estimated 400 in 2021 to more than 500 as of May this year. That figure is still a fraction of the more-than 5,000 warheads the United States and the Russian Federation say they each possess in their nuclear stockpiles (of which under...

Michigan's football program is currently enjoying a dream season, as the Wolverines are undefeated and ranked No. 2 in the polls. But the NCAA is reportedly investigating Jim Harbaugh's football program for an alleged violation of rules. Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the NCAA is investigating Michigan for "possibly scouting opponents in person in an alleged attempt to ascertain play calling signs." Sign stealing is not illegal, though scouting opponents in person is. The Big Ten has reportedly confirmed that the investigation is taking place. In-person scouting for sign stealing is against the rules, as laid out by the...
