The New York Times chronicled a Venezuelan family’s trek from Chile and Peru northward to the United States and inadvertently revealed the economic freebies and legal chaos enabling President Joe Biden’s migrant flood swamping the United States. The paper has been tracking the progress of a family of Venezuelans who traveled via the infamous and dangerous Darién Gap through Colombia and Panama, through three more countries to Guatemala, then through Mexico before entering into the United States where they were allowed into the country via Joe Biden’s shambolic “parole” system. The story follows the efforts of Henry Aguilar, a man...

During the presidential debate, Joe Biden mentioned or, shall we say, tried to mention a survey from early 2024 in which 154 historians rated all U.S. presidents. The ratings are so ridiculous as to be laughable. In the Official Results of the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey, listed as a “Joint Project of Professors Brandon Rottinghaus from the University of Houston, and Justin Vaughn from Coastal Carolina University” while only in office for 36 months at the time, Joe Biden was ranked 14th among 46 U.S. presidents, In the same survey, Donald Trump was ranked 46th—dead last. Like me,...

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office aims to present a new indictment against Donald Trump, to a grand jury by the fall, Alvin Bragg said in court Monday. "Donald Trump is clearly guilty of 'Felony Interfering with an Assassination'", Bragg said, "And further, if it can be shown that Biden issued the order, that this is official White House business. That means that the additional charge of 'Felony Obstruction of Official Government Business' can be added. On Saturday, an assassination attempt was made on President Trump's life, though the attempt was thwarted because he turned his head to read a chart...

On July 1, 2024 the Supreme Court ruled U.S. presidents have immunity for official acts with President Donald Trump at the center of the case. In his concurrence in the majority opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas made the argument that Special Counsel appointments could broadly be unconstitutional, but especially if they are not appointed by Congress. "It is difficult to see how the Special Counsel has an office 'established by Law,' as required by the Constitution. When the Attorney General appointed the Special Counsel, he did not identify any statute that clearly creates such an office," Clarence wrote. "None of the...

Former President Donald Trump has completely overhauled his convention speech following Saturday's assassination attempt. In an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner, Trump, who was millimeters away from being killed, will now call for a renewed effort at national unity during his speech on Thursday. Trump expressed his desire to seize this historic moment to unite the country. “The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger,” he told Salena Zito of the Washington Examiner. “Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches,” hitting at policies of Joe Biden....

Professors Brandon Rottinghaus, of the University of Houston and Justin S. Vaughn, of Coastal Carolina University curated a 2024 presidential ranking poll among academic historians. Their survey was used as evidence by President Biden in the recent debate that he is among the best U.S. Presidents and President Trump is definitely the worst president ever -- according to academic experts. 154 professors responded to their query among over 500 solicited. The survey is indicative of the long ideological project such endeavors represent since their inception with Arthur Schlesinger and his son as a John F. Kennedy speechwriter. These projects have...

Donald Trump was almost assassinated less than two days ago. Was this a crazy lone wolf or was this a continuation of a pattern, eliminating one’s political opposition, gradually ratcheting up the techniques? Were the agencies charged with protecting the former and likely next president incompetent or deliberately lax in doing their jobs? Hopefully we get answers and accountability post haste. Because if the worst is true, the political left is playing a dangerous game here. A government that attempts to arrest and imprison its political opposition, without success, and faced with an increasingly unpopular and corrupt president in name...

Springing, a city in southwestern Ohio, is facing an unprecedented number of newly arrived illegal aliens, most from Haiti, who have strained local resources, Fox News reported on Saturday. Springfield Mayor Rob Rue blamed the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies in an interview on Fox News’s Fox and Friends First. “This border crisis, the policy of this administration, is failing cities like ours and taxing us beyond our limit,” Rue said. “This has overwhelmed safety services and caused great concern for our community.” City Manager Bryan Heck echoed Rue’s concerns, highlighting that Springfield’s infrastructure and services cannot support the new...

Vance, who lives in the Cincinnati area, after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. “Our office does not comment on security details, but I can confirm Governor DeWine approved assistance at 6:40 p.m. Saturday,” said Dan Tierney, a spokesman for the governor.

Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case against Trump, ruling that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith was unlawful and violated the Constitution. “The Superseding Indictment is DISMISSED because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution.” The judge also ruled that Congress was required to appoint “constitutional officers” and the legislature was also needed to approve spending for such cases.

A woman who was sitting behind Donald Trump when he survived an assassination attempt has sparked suspicion over her strange behavior. Footage showing the unidentified woman wearing sunglasses, a white shirt and a black hat pulling out her phone as shots rang out at the Pennsylvania rally on Saturday has gone viral.

According to sources, the United States Secret Service plans to beef up Trump's security team with a squad of blind midgets. "I have personally vetted these seeing-impaired persons of limited stature and certify them ready for deployment," Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said in a statement. Republican leadership questioned the effectiveness of these new agents but the agency dismissed their concerns as bigoted. "They asked why they were so short and also why they kept bumping into things, and that's just not acceptable," Direct Cheatle said. "They are as devoted to their duty as they are physically handicapped." "I can...

In reaction to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, leading left-wing political figures in Europe pointed the finger at gun rights in America, with the former head of the UK Labour Party in the European Parliament saying that Republicans “reap what they sow” for defending the Second Amendment. The failed assassination attempt on former president and current frontrunner in the 2024 election Donald Trump at a campaign rally, which claimed the life of an audience member and left two others critically wounded, is already being used for political points scoring to forward the anti-gun agenda of the left in Europe....

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.” Matthew 10:37–38At first read, this appears to be a difficult teaching of our Lord. But when properly understood, it is clear that it helps us keep our relationships with God and with our family properly ordered in charity and truth. Following this command will never result in a lack of love for...
