Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says the package of proposed border security reforms Republicans unveiled Monday is a “total non-starter” that will only imperil the chances of passing money for the war in Ukraine. He slammed the proposal for being largely drawn from the House-passed Secure the Border Act of 2023, which didn’t pick up a single Democratic vote in the lower chamber.“If Republicans inject partisanship into otherwise bipartisan priorities, that is only going to make it harder to avoid a shutdown,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “A group of Senate Republicans released a proposal for border security...

While the 14th Amendment’s application of birthright citizenship to animals is subject to much debate, let’s stipulate that it doesn’t even matter if the panda has US citizenship. We still should not return baby Xiao Qi Ji to Xi Jinping’s China. If the administration does not step in, our miracle panda is heading to China with its parents in a few days–moved up from the end of the year. To add insult to injury, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hosted festivities at our taxpayer-funded Smithsonian zoo in our nation’s capital along with American defense companies. Throughout history, China has leveraged...

Luke 14:15-24 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of a man giving a great dinner. His sending out of servants to gather those invited parallels our call to be evangelizers. The risen Lord calls the Apostles and us to go forth and to do the work of gathering in: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”—that is, draw them into the very dynamics of the divine life. Hans Urs von Balthasar has noticed that, in the biblical context, mission and identity are tightly bound together.The heroes of Scripture don’t really know who they are until they have...

California since 2017 has spent more than $4 million of taxpayer money on surgical sex changes and cosmetic "gender-affirming" enhancements for 157 inmates, including 4 on death row

The Newsmax I'm picking up is different now. I'm unable to watch Rob Schmitt, Bolling, etc. Instead, they're airing programs Im not interested in. I've tried checking all my apps and can no longer find the original Newsmax I was picking up last week. WTH is going on?

Glamour Magazine ignited controversy after naming transgender model Geena Rocero one of its "Women of the Year" last week, naming the model among a group of those meant to "honor [their] favorite feminist heroes and game-changers in their field." "Say hello to @GeenaRocero, one of Glamour’s 2023 Women of the Year. Model, activist, producer, and author, Rocero is a force to be reckoned with— and she’s just getting started," the magazine wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, last Wednesday, and included a photo of the model with the post

CNN has released the results of exit polling in today’s vote on issue 1 and the polling data looks considerably skewed from national polling over the course of the last few years. According to the CNN data, the electorate today supported abortion in what has been turning into more of a red state over the years – even though national polling data shows more Americans are pro-life than pro-abortion. The Ohio electorate turning out for the vote largely favors legal abortion – roughly 3 in 10 say the procedure should be legal in all cases and about a third that...

[Catholic Caucus] German bishop authorizes same-sex blessingsBishop Karl-Heinz Wiesemann wrote to diocesan priests, deacons and lay pastoral workers saying that the blessings – which he also extended to remarried couples – could take place in churches in the Diocese of Speyer. “The ceremony must differ from a church wedding ceremony in terms of words and signs and should explicitly reinforce the love, commitment, and mutual responsibility in the couple’s relationship as an act of blessing.”

The House is headed for a showdown vote Wednesday on whether to punish Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan - the only Palestinian American in Congress - for her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war. A vote to move forward on censuring Tlaib, a punishment one step below expulsion from the House, advanced Tuesday in a procedural vote. Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia proposed the measure in response to what he called Tlaib’s promotion of antisemitic rhetoric. “Rep. Tlaib has levied unbelievable falsehoods about our greatest ally, Israel, and the attack on October 7,” McCormick said. Debate on the censure...

This past weekend flying to Atlanta, I met a FEMA guy who was on his way to Chicago to continue dealing with a disaster, he said. "What disaster - I haven't seen anything in the news?", I asked. He says the news of it are being smothered but that according to FEMA, this is Chicago's second-most expensive disaster in history. What happened was - he said - that a sewage main collapsed and backed up, flooding hundreds if not thousands of home, building and business basements. That aside from the bio-hazard that represents and its cleanup, thousands of boilers (furnaces?)...

By day, Brian Krewson is a technical expert at computing giant Oracle. But by night he’s Mr. Poto, a fire-breathing, stilt-walking party entertainer, happy to perform at birthdays, weddings and corporate picnics. A Facebook photo from Halloween 2020 shows Krewson dressed in full methlab attire as a remarkably convincing Walter White, the infamous drug trafficker played by Brian Cranston in Breaking Bad. According to a Justice Department DOC, Krewson's resemblance to that character extends beyond appearance. The agency alleges that Krewson helped store and launder $54 million worth of cryptocurrency for two friends, Christopher Castelluzzo and Luke Atwell, who were...

CHICAGO - There was chaos at City Hall on Tuesday as protesters took over a meeting about Chicago's status as a sanctuary city. They're angry about efforts to stop a referendum that would allow Chicagoans to decide whether to welcome migrants. The raucous meeting of the City Council Rules Committee spun out of control as protesters shouted down aldermen during debate about Chicago's status as a sanctuary city. "Do you as a resident of the City of Chicago believe that we should remain a sanctuary city?" asked 41st Ward Alderman Anthony Napolitano. The crowd responded with boos and catcalls. The...
