The far-left Lincoln Project, whose cofounder has openly and publicly called for someone to “put a bullet in Donald Trump,” is still looking to get the former president assassinated by comparing him to Adolf Hitler. Three days after an assassin fired off eight rounds at Trump, one nicking his ear, the Lincoln Project released this assassination dog whistle: Hitler's power wasn't taken, it was given. And once he had control he enacted his horrifying, dictatorial agenda. The same dynamic is at play with Trump. pic.twitter.com/PKKzyJFomc — The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) July 16, 2024 Here are the facts… When you tell...

The Democrat-majority North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) blocked presidential candidates for the Justice for All Party (Cornel West) and the We the People Party (Robert F Kennedy, Jr.) from November's general election ballot. They approved the Constitution Party's candidate (Randall Terry). NCSBE member Alan Hirsch explained "it's not that we disapprove of the views of either Mr. West or Mr. Kennedy. They are acceptably left-of-center, but that's the problem. President Biden is also left-of-center. Having these three men split the left-of-center vote can only work to the advantage of Donald Trump." "The reason for our approval of the...

Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe doubled down on his defense of the Butler Township police officer who confronted Crooks at the Saturday rally and assailed online critics as “a–holes” in an interview with The Post.

Daily Readings from the USCCBAt that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.” Matthew 11:25This passage is in stark contrast to the passage just before it in which Jesus chastised the towns of Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum for not repenting and believing in Him. And as soon as Jesus issued those rebukes, He turned His eyes to Heaven and offered praise to the Father for revealing the hidden mysteries of the Kingdom of...
