Fr. James Martin promotes Protestant pastor who falsely claims Bible doesn’t condemn sodomyContrary to Brendan Robertson’s view, which Martin called ‘superb,’ the Catholic Church teaches that sodomy is intrinsically evil and always sinful and that Scripture condemns it.Fr. James Martin’s pro-LGBT activist group “Outreach” has posted an interview with a Protestant pastor who wrongly claimed the Bible does not condemn homosexual acts. In the interview, Martin, the editor of Outreach, asked Protestant pro-LGBT pastor Brandan Robertson what his response is “when an LGBT person [sic] or a family member or anybody says ‘doesn’t the Bible condemn homosexuality?’” READ: Cdl. Müller:...

The House is expected to vote on whether or not to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar for her alleged 'Somali first' remarks. The privileged resolution was pushed to the House floor by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and will come up for a vote either Monday or Tuesday. If the resolution passes, the Minnesota Democrat would be the fourth member of Congress to be censured this term, following Democratic Reps. Jamaal Bowman, N.Y., Rashida Tlaib, Mich., and Adam Schiff, Calif. According to one translation of a now-viral clip of remarks Omar made in Somalian, she said her allegiances lie with Somalia...

Most of the illegal aliens who beat up two cops in New York City are part of a major theft ring and conspiracy of “migrant” criminals who arrived in New York City. Imported by the Biden administration and freed to wreak havoc, the thugs steal from people on the street, then send the money back home, the New York Post reported. Or they spend the money in Florida, a former city cop told CNN last week. Though an angry city cop said the attack on the cops was eight-on-one, more than a dozen illegals are sought in connection with the...

Biologist Bret Weinstein recently traveled to Panama’s Darien Gap, where he discovered camps funded by the United States and the United Nations designed to help passing migrants reach the U.S. southern border. Weinstein also discovered a camp filled with Chinese migrants heading to the United States, who seemed hostile. Meanwhile, stateside, the establishment just released a 370-page monstrosity of a border bill that would allow thousands of migrants into the country. Other topics included in today’s episode: @ 6:30 | Are the Chinese coming here for bad or good reasons? @ 13:40 | The U.N. is on the ground in...

In nine months, America will be holding an election for the ages. Yeah, I know everyone says that about every election, but the stakes for November 2024 could not be higher.This assumes we will have an actual election. If it looks like Donald Trump is running away with the election, expect a false flag event to postpone or cancel the election. The excuse could be a war, especially as several are brewing, ready to boil over in October.Or some other excuse to invoke martial law and lockdowns for “public safety.” How about those millions of migrants, military-aged males, an invading...

The news that some members of the UN Palestinian aid fund allegedly took part in the Hamas attacks against Israel has sent shock waves through the international community. Despite this revelation, the Spanish Government has renewed its commitment to continue making its contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), despite allegations involving some of its staff in a Hamas-led attack against Israel. Foreign Affairs Minister, Jose Manuel Albares, made this announcement, highlighting Spain’s nuanced position amidst international tensions. Spain’s response to UNRWA investigation ‘We will not modify our relationship with UNRWA although we are...

The bipartisan border deal that is dividing congressional Republicans is already leading to angry calls to shake up the Senate leadership and furious claims by Donald Trump that it represents a 'death wish' for the party in 2024. The fury came in the hours since negotiators put out details on their new bipartisan deal to provide new authority for the administration to 'close' the border when crossings spike, while sending billions to support allies Ukraine and Israel. Among those to heap the most scorn on the agreement was Utah Sen. Mike Lee – who even appeared to demand a change...

If you want to earn money, pick good-looking parentsGood looks can be their own kind of inherited asset, boosting income across the generations, a new study reveals. Children of conventionally attractive parents earn more than those from more average-looking families, according to new research by the US-based National Bureau of Economic Research. The study, entitled: "The Economic Impact of Heritable Physical Traits: Hot Parents, Rich Kid?" examined prior datasets which tracked the attractiveness of parents and their children, as well as the children's earnings. It looked at families in both the United States and China, as well as among billionaires...

Of all post-war decades, the 1970s has undoubtedly had the worst press, but the truth is that most ordinary families in 1970s Britain were better off than ever, writes historian Dominic Sandbrook. The 1950s are symbolised by the television and the washing machine, which transformed the lives of so many families. We misremember the 1960s as the decade of the Mini, which was actually invented in 1959, the mini-skirt, which surprisingly few women actually wore, and the Pill, which most women never took. We remember the 1980s as the decade of gigantic hair, shoulder-pads, the Filofax and the home...

A new problem has been found during the production of 737 Max jets that will force Boeing to rework about 50 planes that have not yet been delivered. The problem was disclosed in a memo sent to Boeing (BA) employees Sunday by Stan Deal, the head of the company’s commercial aircraft unit. An employee at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, which makes the fuselages of the 737 Max jets, notified the plane maker that two holes may not have been drilled exactly to Boeing’s requirements, according to Deal’s memo. “While this potential condition is not an immediate flight safety issue and...

The Ukrainian government could be heading for a major reset, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters in a press conference on February 4 that he is considering replacing several senior officials. Speculation over the potential dismissal of highly popular commander Valeriy Zaluzhnyi had been growing over the past few weeks. Mr. Zaluzhnyi and Mr. Zelenskyy have been at odds over the handling of the war with Russia, which has been ongoing for almost two years. Mr. Zelenskyy, however, said that any changes would amount to more than replacing a single person, as he is ramping up efforts to oust...

The American economy can’t catch a break. In addition to the massive price inflation of food, cars, housing, energy, and so many other elements, international companies are now suffering from a near-doubling of ocean transportation costs in just the past three months, due to simultaneous crises in Central America and the Red Sea that have restricted international shipping through the Panama and Suez Canals. This is adding to the cost of goods all over the world, along with damaging lead times, as longer transits cause disruptions to both factory schedules and retail offerings. For thousands of years, ocean carriers moved...

The New York Police Department (NYPD) on Monday shared a horrifying video showing the moment migrants on a moped dragged a woman along a New York City street and stole her phone. As The New York Post reported, these thugs are members of a Venezuelan moped-riding crew that has been stealing phones from female New Yorkers’ hands in audacious instances of street crimes. Two have been apprehended so far, but several remain at large. The sick footage shows a moped carrying three riders coming out of an adjacent alley and dragging a woman. The footage ends with her crashing into...

@ggreenwald If this Dem Senator genuinely believes "the fate of the free world is on the line in the war in Ukraine," that is demented. If he believes this, why wouldn't he be advocating direct deployment of US troops? Dems are so war-hungry. Biden has the US involved in 3 new wars. @brianschatz The fate of the free world is on the line in the war in Ukraine – and whether or not the United States continues to step up to help Ukraine fight back against Putin’s unrelenting assault will define our leadership on the global stage for generations to...

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter expressed her frustration with Republican Trump voters over the weekend and made the case for why she doesn’t believe the former president can beat President Joe Biden in a general election. “How many people who voted for Biden in 2020 have since switched to Trump?” Coulter asked on X/Twitter before breaking down the electoral math as she sees it: 1) those who voted for Trump but who’ve since died (older white people); 2) immigrants who turned 18 in the last 4 yrs and will vote (minorities); 3) Republicans who voted for Trump in 2020, but have...

Cathy Van Buskirk, who lives with complex and debilitating mental disorders, says she is heartbroken by the federal government's decision to delay her ability to access a medically assisted death. Eligibility for medical assistance in dying (MAID) was set to expand in March to include people with mental illness, something that had given Van Buskirk hope that her suffering from severe mental illness would come to a peaceful end on her terms. But federal Health Minister Mark Holland introduced legislation Thursday that would delay the expansion of MAID to include those suffering solely from mental illness until 2027, a move...

China's economic challenges are taking a toll as the fallout from the Evergrande crisis continues to reverberate. In Shijiazhuang, Hebei, the unfinished Central Plaza project stands as a stark reminder of Evergrande's default, leaving buyers stranded and uncertain about the fate of their investments. The once-largest Chinese developer's troubles extend beyond individual projects, with a Hong Kong court recently ordering Evergrande's liquidation, a process anticipated to span years and involve restructuring over $300 billion in liabilities. The impact of Evergrande's collapse is rippling through the real estate sector, adding strain to an already precarious economic situation.

Actors don’t need to share the ‘lived experience’ of their characters.The Globe Theatre in London has come under fire for a supposedly controversial casting choice. Last week, it was announced that Michelle Terry, who is also the Globe’s artistic director, would be taking on the titular role in Shakespeare’s Richard III later this summer. Outrage immediately ensued. Because according to identitarian activists, Terry doesn’t have the ‘lived experience’ needed to play the scheming king.Certainly, there are some pretty glaring differences between Michelle Terry and Richard III. For one thing, Terry is a woman and Richard, obviously, was a man. But...

If you thought that the resignation of Superintendent Monifa McKnight meant an end to MCPS’s leadership issues, you thought wrong! That’s because the person the school board plans to appoint as interim superintendent has problems of her own, some of them documented in a local government investigation as well as in Maryland courthouses... Monique Felder, who the school board has announced it is planning to appoint as interim superintendent tomorrow... During her tenure in Nashville, the public schools were the subject of many articles in local media. The story most directly tied to Felder was her acceptance of payments from...
