“. . . And in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness” (2 Peter 1:6). Godly perseverance is a sure evidence of true salvation. Commentator Michael Green has this to say about the believer who displays biblical perseverance: “The mature Christian does not give up. His Christianity is like the steady burning of a star rather than the ephemeral brilliance (and speedy eclipse) of a meteor.” The Greek word translated “perseverance” in today’s verse (hupomone) refers to consistent endurance in righteousness and faithfulness in resisting temptation. The precise meaning for hupomone is hard to pinpoint. There is no exact...

[Catholic Caucus] FOR THE RECORD: Superior of FSSP discusses Synopsis of French Bishops' TLM SurveyConsidering how the Synopsis of the French Bishops' Survey on the TLM is being weaponized against traditional Catholics, it seems fitting to present here, for the record, a translation of the interview that Fr. Benoît Paul-Joseph, the superior of the FSSP's French district, gave to La Salon Beige on June 7, 2021. Recall that Fr. Paul-Joseph has met now twice with Pope Francis and may be considered to be in possession of the salient facts both at home and in Rome. - PK(Salon-Beige introduction:) Following rumors...

A Queens Criminal Court sentenced the parents of a teenage driver Monday for crimes their then-16-year-old allegedly committed back in May of 2023. This prosecution is believed to be the first of its kind—at least in New York—in which the parents are held responsible for the actions of their children. On May 17, the now-17-year-old was allegedly driving at 101 mph in a 2005 BMW 3 Series on North Conduit Avenue in Queens when he lost control and crashed into a parked UPS truck. The teenage driver still had a junior license, which means he was supposed to be driving...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s Democrat and mainstream media allies are gaslighting American voters in five ways as her presidential campaign gets underway with just over 100 days to election day. The manipulation is being carried out in various forms: the covering up of President Joe Biden’s apparent cognitive decline, claims of insensitivity over questions about Harris’s competency, the claim Harris was chosen “from the grassroots, bottom-up,” and efforts to bury her record on the border and in the Senate. 1: Hiding Biden’s Cognitive Decline More than a year ago, in May 2023, a Harvard-Harris poll found that 57 percent of...

Democrats are nothing short of giddy. Biden, who looked like a sure loser, bowed out of the presidential race and was seamlessly replaced by Kamala Harris through deft and lightning-fast intraparty maneuvering. The race is reset! All is possible! Who can blame Democrats for being a bit slap happy? They were staring into the abyss and now have a reprieve. They have a younger candidate and a more enthusiastic, unified party. Those are important and positive differences. But there are also similarities to their previous situation that are highly negative and can’t be wished away. Here’s one that I wrote...

It would also prohibit "ghost guns," which are bought in separate pieces online and then assembled at home.

Go to 4:50 in the video in the link below. You will hear there was only 5 shell casings. The Director said there were 8 shots fired. I think he said 1 shot was the counter sniper team? So where were the other 2 shots from? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV_d4Qe7PcM
