Dr Dan Stanislowski and Father Stephen McKenna join the podcast for one of the most interesting topics yet: Dopamine. (Some adult content!) Dr Dan defended his PhD thesis on this very topic but is able to explain the complex topix simply enough to give a brilliant explanation of what dopamine is, how it effects us in modern life and how we can manage it with Catholic morality.

It’s been amusing to see Democrats realizing that their lawfare strategy against Trump hasn’t been working. First, the indictments only boosted Trump’s position in GOP primary polling, and then the New York trial didn’t even hurt him. Various polls since last week's verdict have shown little to no shift towards Joe Biden, and some even suggest a boost for Donald Trump. So far, there’s little reason to believe that the verdict will be a watershed event that will help Biden retake the lead in the election. And Biden just got some more devastating news. A new poll of Virginia shows...

The local teachers’ union encourages students to resist “Zionist bullies.” Portland, Oregon, has earned its reputation as America’s most radical city. Its public school system was an early proponent of left-wing racialism and has long pushed students toward political activism. As with the death of George Floyd four years ago, the irruption of Hamas terrorism in Israel has provided Portland’s public school revolutionaries with another cause du jour: now they’ve ditched the raised fist of Black Lives Matter and traded it in for the black-and-white keffiyeh of Palestinian militants. I have obtained a collection of publicly accessible documents produced by...

Twenty minutes of the corporate press, U.S. intelligence agencies, and the Biden family telling you that Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation. Now, that the New York Times admits that the laptop is real, it is time for the corrupt media to acknowledge who the "big guy" is, and Hunter's voice note where he discussed working with the "spy chief of China".

Merrick Garland recently testified before the House Judiciary Committee, and among other things, was “battered” over his decision to keep the recorded interview tapes between Joe Biden and special counsel Robert Hur hidden from the public.Garland has the audacity to say that no one is above the law, and his Justice department never considers politics in its decisions, but those statements are demonstrably not true. Here are a couple simple questions for Garland that show that statement is a lie:Did Biden commit felonies when he illegally took and mishandled classified documents for fifty years? Yes.Did the Justice department let him...

This white bison calf was born Tuesday afternoon in Yellowstone National Park. (Courtesy Erin Braaten) A rare white bison calf was born late Tuesday in Yellowstone National Park. A wildlife photographer originally thought it was a coyote until she looked back and saw the calf. "It was amazing," she said. In a rare event, a white bison calf was born in Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday afternoon. Park visitor and wildlife photographer Erin Braaten was there at just the right time to practically witness the calf’s birth in Yellowstone’s famed and wildlife-rich Lamar Valley. “The afterbirth, the placenta was still...

"One has only to look at the situation in so many theatres in the world at the moment, Middle East and the Ukraine in particular, where we don't seem to have any protocols we can invoke that might bring the warring parties to the table so that a Peacefire can be negotiated. We don't seem to have the instruments for reconciliation. And things are so drastically fallen apart that we don't know where to look to find those instruments." - octogenarian Father Bill Uren The word "Peacefire" might have been a misspeak but in the context of the thought of...

Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders declared his Party for Freedom was the “biggest winner” in the country’s EU Parliament elections on Thursday as exit polls predict massive gains for the anti-mass migration party. The Party for Freedom (PVV) built upon its recent domestic success on Thursday, with exit polls predicting that the populist party will secure at least seven seats in the next European Parliament after winning zero seats in the 2019 EU elections. According to the initial estimates from Ipsos on behalf of public broadcaster NOS, this marked the largest gains for any Dutch party and the largest total...

MSNBC analyst Donny Deutsch on Friday urged the military to release an ad campaign against former President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming presidential election. Trump is beating President Joe Biden in the five crucial swing states of Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a May New York Times/Siena College survey. Deutsch suggested on “Morning Joe” that if former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, former Secretary of Defense James Mattis, former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley release an ad campaign, it could help turn voters...

The growth of space and cyber technologies worldwide is raising the likelihood that war — or at least its ripple effects — will crash onto America's doorstep.Why it matters: Centuries of national security strategy, relying on protection provided by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, are being rattled by these weapons that conquer vast distances.America has long had the edge in space and cyberspace, but China and other powers are closing the gap. A global surveillance showdown is underway.Hackers tied to the People's Liberation Army abscond with countless files detailing stateside arsenals.

We woke up today to a rather fascinating story. Dallas may have a new resident soon and I don't mean the NFL Chiefs coming back to their original location. This is the story:Capital giants BlackRock and Citadel are among the headline investors in a group that is seeking to bring a new national stock exchange to the Lone Star State. James H Lee, Chairman and CEO of Texas Stock Exchange, says the group leading the project has already raised $120 million. “With the demand we are seeing from investors and corporations for expanded alternatives to trade and list equities, this...

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall – Proverbs 16:18 This proverb has been until recently, a prophetic warning. In today’s America it is a news item. We are already in a great fall from grace. It raises the question – what will we do about it? Here is what the present administration is doing, along with the medical community, and the rest of sleepy overindulgent America.

Recently, Steve Bannon had Revolver’s own Darren Beattie on the War Room show, and together they exposed Nikki Haley’s latest 2024 plot. That’s right, you thought she had slithered away, didn’t you? Nope. It turns out she’s just been lying in wait, ready to pounce. Revolver: Well, if you thought you had heard the last of Nikki Haley after she slithered out of the campaign, tired of being humiliated by the American people over and over, you were sadly mistaken. She’s back, or better yet, according to Revolver’s Darren Beattie, she never actually left. She’s just regrouping for her next...

Just days before Germany and the rest of the Europe votes on the next European Parliament, the migrant stabbing of a right-wing activist shocked the country, apparently bouncing the government into suddenly announcing a deportation plan for extremists. An Afghan migrant launched a mass knife attack on a right-wing political event in the city of Mannheim, Germany last week. Several people were stabbed including a veteran anti-Islamification campaigner, and a police officer responding to the attack was killed. The attack came just days before Germany — and many other European states — is due to vote in a major European...

WILMINGTON, Del. — On Oct. 12, 2018, former Vice President Joe Biden crowded into an SUV with a small group of advisers and headed to Bath County High School in Owingsville, Ky., for a campaign rally with a congressional candidate. Here in Wilmington, Hunter Biden parked his father’s black Cadillac SUV outside a gun shop and returned with a Colt Cobra revolver.The elder Biden’s trip that day was one of dozens he made in the run-up to the midterm elections as he built a political case that led him to the White House. His son’s outing more than 500 miles...

American soldiers in uniforms spill out from the bars and cafes all around June 6 Square, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. Is this really France? “This is the 53rd state,” Philippe Nekrassoff, a local deputy mayor, said as he made his way across the square, with its Roman milestone and medieval church, while U.S. paratroopers wearing maroon berets played soccer with a group of local teenagers. “Americans are at home here.” Here is Ste.-Mère-Église, a slip of a town in northwest Normandy with one main street. About 3,000 residents live in the town and its surrounding region, with its fields...
