[Catholic Caucus] Pope of Mercy Cancels Bishop StricklandThe Holy See Press Office announced today that Pope Francis has removed Bishop Strickland as Bishop of Tyler and replaced him in the interim with Bishop Joe Vásquez of Austin. This is total war. Francis is a clear and present danger not only to Catholics the world over but also to the whole world itself. It appears now that he is actively trying to bury fidelity to the Church of Jesus Christ. If this is so, let him be anathema.God bless you, Your Excellency. We stand with you now and, please God, for...

Damn it, Janet (Yellen)! Moody’s just cut the US credit to NEGATIVE. The primary reason for Moody’s downgrade of US credit? The absolutely insane ramp-up of Federal spending starting with the Covid outbreak in early 2020. And the subsequent economic shutdowns and the closure of public schools. But even as Covid faded to diminished status, Bidem demanded an increase in Federal spending. Well, Biden’s war (Ukraine) which looks like spending in perpetutity. Of course, Biden/Congress love to spend money, but raising personal taxes to pay for it is political suicide. A private sector firm would cut spending to balance its...

Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then...

Friday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz reacted to former President Barack Obama’s criticism of Israel in the wake of the October 7 terror attacks on its southern territory. Dershowitz suggested Obama’s criticism was a result of the “deep hatred” Obama had for Israel. “Do you think Obama understands what his words have meant?” FBN host Maria Bartiromo asked. “I think so,” Dershowitz replied. “I think he always had a deep hatred of Israel in his heart. He hid it very well. He called me to the Oval Office, and he said Alan,...

The world was taken aghast on October 7, 2023, when Hamas surprised the peaceful residents of Israel and slaughtered over 1400 men, women, and children. They were mowed down by gunfire, raped, and burned alive, but the worst was the decapitation of children by Hamas terrorists. It left the most hardened heart to wonder if civilization, is gasping for its last breath.

As Veterans’ Day arrives, it is important for those who have never served to take a moment to understand the solitary world of a vet. Millions of vets are and have been successful in all endeavors. They are doctors, lawyers, business people and a thousand other professions. Not all have PTSD; not all are the troubled, brooding, street corner homeless guy, although they exist and need help desperately. No matter how successful a vet might be materially, more often than not, vets are often alone, mentally and spiritually each day and for the rest of their lives. Vets’ stories are...

On October 17, a man posted a video on Twitter of a street in his East London neighborhood. There was a Turkish restaurant, a Dominos, graffiti—and lots of Palestinian flags. “Look at this crap here,” the man, known only as John A, is heard saying.

"Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is" (Hebrews 11:6). Nothing you do can please God apart from faith. Throughout history, people have tried everything imaginable to gain favor with God. Most turn to religion, but religion apart from Christ is merely a satanic counterfeit of the truth. Many trust in their own good works, not realizing that even their best efforts are offensive to God (Isa. 64:6; Phil. 3:8). And the more we try to justify ourselves, the more we offend God, because "by the works of the...
