Those of us from outside watching the brave struggle of Venezuelans have the duty to reflect and act so that our countries do not fall into the bottomless pit of socialism and never again see their misery. -------------------------------------------- The eyes of America look towards Venezuela. Hundreds of videos flood social media showing the world the fierce and courageous struggle of Venezuelans to regain their freedom. Despite the fact that dozens of people have already been killed by the regime, and hundreds detained, thousands of Venezuelans, in different parts of the country, are in the streets defending the electoral results that...

The US coup, or coups — as they seem clearly to be double coups — are achieved now, even though the leaders of the coups are still at war with each other.But we are no longer a functioning Republic.First, during the week after July 13, 2024, unfolded the coup of whoever is managing the Biden family. My guess is that this a foreign power, probably China, with input from the WEF, Bill Gates and The WHO. This short-lived coup launched itself via an assassination attempt on President Trump on July 13, in Butler, PA, at exactly the same time that...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) stated that she would handle the coronavirus pandemic differently if she knew then what she knows now, but “We did not know it was respiratory in nature. We didn’t know that it would be people on the other end of the age spectrum who would be most vulnerable. And so, I think that the education stuff, we would’ve been able to do a lot more to help our kids.” But overall, “I’m proud of what we did, and I can tell you, the people of Michigan, I think,...

A reflection on a horror story. The claim that Islam has been beneficial for women is a staple of Islamic apologetics. Yet in Islam, a woman’s testimony is worth only half that of a man. The justification of this is provided by Muhammad in a famous hadith, “for it is the deficiency in her [woman’s] intelligence.” Such a clearly misogynistc view, by Muhammad, the Perfect Man and Model of Conduct, needs to be kept from Unbelievers. They might think ill of Muhammad, and that would never do.What do those who have this rosy view of Islam think of the marriage...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus said to his disciples: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” Matthew 13:44Today’s Gospel presents us with two very short and similar parables. In the first, quoted above, the Kingdom of Heaven is likened to a “treasure.” In the second parable, the Kingdom of Heaven is likened to a “pearl of great price.” Though these parables are very similar to each other, there are also subtle differences worth...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will spend $5 million to vaccinate livestock workers against the seasonal flu in an effort to prevent possible interaction with bird flu, officials said today, July 30. If someone gets both the H5N1 (highly pathogenic avian influenza) and seasonal flu, the result could be “an exchange of genetic material” that could do what scientists call “reassortment” and the development of a new influenza virus, said Nirav Shah, the principal deputy director at CDC. Shah spoke to reporters in a call organized by the Health and Human Services Department. The $5 million will go...

Khamenei and Pezeshkian Met Ismail Haniyeh Before His Assassination Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran on Wednesday, Hamas and Iran’s e Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said in separate statements. The regime’s General Prosecutor has issued a warning to the media about reporting on Ismail Haniyeh’s death.

Following Ismail Haniyeh’s death in Tehran, the regime’s General Prosecutor issued a notice prohibiting media and online activists from spreading related news, labeling it as “rumor-mongering.” Government media quoted the prosecutor’s office urging media activists to avoid...

Threatening Jews, America and the foundations of all free societies. The origins of the Islamo-leftist alliance are rooted in a convergence of mutual interests and ideological blind spots. On one side, radical Islamic groups espouse a fundamentalist worldview that seeks to impose its interpretation of Sharia law in the West and oppose Western influence in the Muslim world. On the other side, extreme leftists advocate for radical social and political revolution, often viewing Western capitalism as the primary source of global injustice.While these two groups appear ideologically disparate, their collaboration is driven by a hatred toward a common enemy: the...

Surprise! The media isn’t going to tell you this. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes itself as “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.” In that guise, and as it has championed numerous far-left causes, it has become a respected member of the leftist establishment, with numerous ignorant and self-serving politicians lavishing praise on this unsavory gang in hopes of gaining Muslim votes. Among them has been, not surprisingly, Kamala Harris.This has been known for years, but no one has cared. Back in Oct. 2020, the Washington Free Beacon reported that “as California’s attorney general and then as U.S....

It’s all their party has to offer. As the presidential election looms ever larger on the horizon, the desperate Left, saddled with a catastrophe of a candidate, is doubling down on the only tired old strategy it has, which is smearing their political opponents as racist – exposing their own anti-white racism in the process.First, documentary propagandist Michael Moore (yes, he’s still alive) ecstatically asserted in a recent blog post that under a presidential administration of mixed-race (not black) Kamala Harris, white America “will be shown the door.” What does that even mean? How would that play out? It’s unclear,...

HARRISBURGH, Penn., Saturday, July 30 The most experienced men at this post are now convinced that the invasion of the State is by a large force, composed of some of the best troops of Gen. LEE's army. It is also believed that the invasion is of a character too gigantic to be regarded any longer as a mere raid. The telegraph operator at Shippensburgh has left, and the presumption is that the rebels have thrown out strong advanced parties in that direction. Since 3 o'clock this morning, we have had no communication with Chambersburgh. At that hour the rebels entered...

The Venezuelan Human Rights Education-Action Program reported that the regime of dictator Nicolás Maduro's kidnapped Freddy Superlano, leader of the Voluntad Popular party founded by Leopoldo López. "These detainments can lead to forced disappearances and cruel and inhumane treatment to force the victims to make statements, as has been denounced in the past by the UN Mission on Venezuela," Provea wrote on its account on the social network X. The organization published a video on social networks showing how several hooded men put Superlano in a van. According to the information, three other opposition leaders were also kidnapped. Meanwhile, Voluntad...

This week marks seven years since Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) historic vote to save ObamaCare. I will never forget a phone call I had with him just moments before he gave the big thumbs down on the Senate floor. He was reaching out about a statement I had issued opposing the Republicans’ effort to repeal ObamaCare. He thanked me for putting people over party and confidentially let me know he was going to do the same. Although we shared the same concern that our health care system desperately needs commonsense reforms to lower costs, McCain and I both knew that...
