Father Michel shared some predictions this past month that are unfolding in the World right now. It will be delivered with Xavier Ayral on many Catholic podcasts around the world simultaneously.

Nasa has selected Elon Musk's SpaceX company to bring down the International Space Station at the end of its life. The California-based company will build a vehicle capable of pushing the 430-tonne orbiting platform into the Pacific Ocean early in the next decade. A contract for the work, valued at up to $843m (£668m), was announced on Wednesday. "Selecting a US De-orbit Vehicle for the International Space Station (ISS) will help Nasa and its international partners ensure a safe and responsible transition in low Earth orbit at the end of station operations. This decision also supports Nasa's plans for future...

There's tension inside the Biden Cabal between White House officials who want to soft-pedal oil sanctions on nasty foreign producers like Putinist Russia and Islamist Iran and Treasury Department staffers who have a soul. The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Biden "wants to keep gas prices stable ahead of the election by encouraging oil to flow into global markets," and if that means imposing "softer-than-expected sanctions on major oil producers" like two to nasties mentioned above, then So be it. Oh, and also Venezuela. What's the big deal in appeasing a socialist basket case like Nicolás Maduro when...

When German-born Kim Dotcom talks about "the US", he sounds like me talking about "the Globalists". Speaking on the The Alex Jones Show, Kim says that the US is leading the world into a nuclear war, to avoid facing up to its crimes. He says the an asset-based BRICS currency would be preferred for trade by virtually every country over the US dollar, where you risk being impetuously sanctioned over some BS that isn't even true. Kim says, "My big worry is that, you know, once the realization sinks in that this is not reversible, that Russia and China are...

ARLINGTON — Police uncovered at least 19 additional deaths that may be connected to an Arlington businesswoman already charged with endangerment earlier this year. Regla "Su" Becquer, who operated an illegal home-based healthcare company, is now at the center of a much larger investigation. Arlington police have been investigating Becquer for months and her unlicensed company, "Love & Caring for People LLC," which operated community living homes. "After everything we've learned, I think it's clear to say she did not love or care for anyone," said Lt. Kimberly Harris of Arlington police. Authorities learned that her company, which claimed to...

Those who hoped that our leaders have recovered from China Derangement Syndrome (CDS) may soon be disappointed. This is because Congress is considering including legislation targeting Chinese drone manufacturer DJI to this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). DJI is the world’s largest drone manufacturer and is estimated to control between 65% and 90% of the world’s drone market. DJI’s drones are user-friendly and can safely be operated even by novice drone users.

A young woman is speaking out after she said she was beaten by a stranger on Smithfield Street in Downtown Pittsburgh in broad daylight.

The only practicable way to avoid another near-one million dead and wounded would be a settlement, however unpopular. Nearly eleven months ago, in August 2023, the New York Times reported that U.S. officials had estimated that some 500,000 Russians and Ukrainians had been killed, wounded, or missing in the then 18-month Ukrainian War. Both Russia and Ukraine underreport their losses. Hundreds of thousands of additional casualties have followed in the 28 months of fighting. In the West, the mere mention of a negotiated settlement is considered a dangerous appeasement of Russia’s flagrant aggression. In Russia, anything short of victory would...

The conservancy that oversees the SS United States has launched an urgent $500,000 fundraising campaign to help cover relocation expenses for the historic ship amid its uncertain future. The 1,000-foot ocean liner, which still holds the transatlantic speed record it set more than 70 years ago, must leave its berth on the Delaware River in Philadelphia by Sept. 12, a federal judge ruled earlier this month. Besides finding a new home, the conservancy also must obtain funds for insurance, tugs, surveys and dock preparations for moving the ship, which is incapable of self-propulsion. The group is focusing its efforts on...

Police are searching for two men who attacked a woman on a New York City street with a baseball bat. It happened Tuesday afternoon in Lower Manhattan. CBS New York's Jenna DeAngelis spoke with the victim's family.

What disease are we supposed to be desperately afraid of this election cycle? As if on cue, the Centers for Disease Control issued their latest attempt to terrify the public on...spin the wheel...the ball lands on vingt-deux: the horrors of Dengue Fever! Before Barack Obama wandered onto the political scene, the CDC were the undisputed leader in protecting public health and safety through controlling and preventing disease, injury, and disability in the U.S. and the world. After Obama, you would have to be blind not to see that the CDC have been fully compromised and are no longer a responsible...

Seeking to capitalize on the voters' response to the primary defeat of Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Republicans across the country launched efforts to raise money to send Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to dance at campaign rallies for all Democratic candidates. Following Bowman's loss, exit polling data indicated voters broke toward his opponent in a stunning indictment of Ocasio-Cortez's dance moves at a campaign event in the Bronx last week, leading to a GOP initiative to replicate the event nationwide. "Having her dance at every Democrat rally could be huge for us," said one Republican insider. "Once the public sees her jumping around...

It seems everything Biden touches turns to stone. This used to be called “The Medusa Touch” but I changing that to “The Biden Touch.” And that includes housing. Or we can simply sing along with the late Jimmy Buffet and “Wasting aways again in Bidenville.” And near 7% mortgage rates aren’t helping (as The Fed continues its fight against Bidenflation). US new home sales were expected to dip 0.2% MoM in May… but they didn’t.. New home sales crashed 11.3% MoM (after April’s 4.7% drop was revised up to a 2.0% MoM rise). That is the biggest MoM drop since...

The superintendent of a school district in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas recently agreed within minutes to a conservative group’s demands to remove 676 books, including some seminal texts about the Holocaust and antisemitism. Now, weeks later, Carol Perez has been removed from the district she led, just as the Republican governor of Texas appeared to endorse the book removals on social media. Conservative activists, led by a local pastor and outspoken Israel advocate, pushed the district, Mission CISD, to excise books mostly about gender, sexuality and race. Their demands represented an extreme version of a nationwide culture war...

It’s too bad Jake from State Farm wasn’t available to moderate the first (and likely only) presidential debate. That guy loves good deals as much as President Trump, and the two would have gotten along famously. Instead, we’re stuck with Jake from CNN — the Democrat partisan whose dour facial expression seems fixed somewhere between that of a scowling schoolmarm and a haughty tailor inhaling a flatulent customer’s farts. Part of America’s kabuki “democracy” requires that only rabid Marxist-Democrats be allowed to host forums for political candidates vying for office. It doesn’t make any sense and generally guarantees that Republicans...
