A new report details the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) efforts to “exert total control” over the Catholic Church and other religious faiths within its borders and to “forcibly eradicate religious elements” that the party deems contrary to its political and policy agenda. The analysis, published by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) last week, asserts that the CCP’s “sinicization of religion” policy consistently violates the internationally protected right to freedom of religion. The term sinicization means to conform something to Chinese culture, but the policy essentially subordinates faiths to “the CCP’s political agenda and Marxist vision for...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been swamped with migrants needing food, shelter, transportation, and medical care – and his methods of dealing with the crisis have drawn all eyes to him. One of his newest initiatives – giving debit cards to illegal immigrants – is especially upsetting Americans. And now it seems that, under this program, the undocumented are getting more financial benefits than veterans.

General Flynn thinks the Diddy case is going to implicate musicians, sports players, politicians, and the media. He also says some of the abusers are satanic: “These people are psychopaths. They’re evil. They’re satanic. And that is also something that they practiced out there in his home.”

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem–government IS the problem.” –Ronald Reagan, Inaugural Address 1981 How times have changed! J.D. Vance gave a masterful performance in this week’s Vice Presidential debate. While personally, I don’t think Kamala Harris’ Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz did badly in his knowledge of governance (after all, he is a governOR), he did fall flat in a few places, notably poorly defending his lie that he witnessed the Tiananmen Square massacre in China, and his odd remark that “I have become friends with school shooters.” In fairness, I’m sure Gov....

I am a very big fan of the podcasters at the Daily Wire: Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan. I don’t agree with them on everything, but I enjoy their intelligent takes and humor. They and I agree that JD Vance did a wonderful job during the vice-presidential debate, but they all missed how well he did on the abortion issue.When Walz was asked about abortion, he launched easily into the shtick that it’s all about women’s healthcare while boasting about what a wonderful state Minnesota is for abortion. He had to lie, of course, about the...

Orders for manufactured goods dropped 0.2 percent in August, following a notable increase the previous month, as reported by the Commerce Department on Thursday. This decline marks the third decrease in orders within the last four months, signaling ongoing difficulties within the manufacturing sector. Economists had predicted that orders would remain unchanged in August, reflecting a cautious outlook amid a mixed economic environment. The data revealed that orders for durable goods were adjusted to show no change for the month, a significant shift from July’s remarkable gain of 9.8 percent. This revision was a downgrade from an earlier estimate suggesting...

The Dominican Republic says it plans to expel as many as 10,000 Haitian migrants per week, despite a longstanding call from the United Nations to end forced returns to Haiti amid a surge in gang violence there. Homero Figueroa, a Dominican presidential spokesman, said on Wednesday that the “operation aims to reduce the excessive migrant populations detected in Dominican communities”. Figueroa added that the expulsions to Haiti, which shares a border with the Dominican Republic on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, would begin “immediately”. The announcement comes just days after the UN reported that at least 3,661 people had been...

AP Photo/Evan Vucci You know, maybe it was a good thing that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ignored Helene survivors because when they finally did show up they only made things worse. Kamala read from a prepared speech and refused to answer any questions before telling Americans their families would each get a whopping $750 after they applied for it. Online. Many of them don't have power or Internet so how they Hell are they supposed to apply for it? And $750? They'd be better off to leave and come across the border illegally at this point ... Anywho, we...

High-risk” migrants were allowed to enter the US at the border without proper ID and now roam the country, a scathing new report by the Homeland Security inspector general claims. In many cases, the migrants were trusted to provide their own personal information before being allowed in and are now free to fly on domestic airlines without identification because of lax oversight by immigration authorities and the Transportation Safety Administration, the 37-page report reveals. “TSA’s vetting and screening procedures do not eliminate the risk that noncitizens who may pose a threat to fellow passengers could board domestic flights,” the report...

Great analysis by Samo Burja about declining global fertility rates. Brainstorming some ideas that are compatible with Christianity: (note many of these are not compatible with the US Constitution) 1. Don’t let people vote when they reach 70 years old 2. Any welfare state that is available ceases to be available to seniors 3. Allow marriages without parental permission at the age of 16 (essentially 16 would become the legal age of adulthood) 4. Only allow people with dependent children the right to vote 5. massive tax reductions for those with a large number of children 6. make abortion illegal...

Keanu Reeves, globally renowned for his iconic roles in blockbusters like The Matrix, John Wick, and Point Break is set to make a thrilling appearance at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This weekend marks a significant return for the Canadian actor to the racing circuit, as he takes part in the GR Cup event, his first racing appearance in a decade. Reeves will be driving a spec GR86 as part of the Toyota GR Cup series—a notable step towards more serious motorsport competition compared to past celebrity races. The announcement of his racing return was made via a video on...

Politically incorrect words don’t kill, but Venezuelan gangs do. Donald Trump this week warned rally-goers in a small Wisconsin community that “if Kamala is reelected, your town and every town . . . will be transformed into a third-world hellhole.” He’s repeatedly said that Biden-Harris open borders are turning New York into a “third world nation” and America into a “third world disaster” — and the rhetoric makes left-wing elites apoplectic. Never mind the violence perpetrated by migrant gangs and the societal disorder caused by open borders: Their problem is with the words. NPR says the term “third world” is...

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is waging a PR battle to combat ‘rumors’ and ‘confusion’ about the failures of the Biden-Harris administration to take care of Americans affected by Hurricane Helene. In a post on X Twitter on Thursday, FEMA said, “There has been a lot of rumors spreading about the #Helene response. Rumors can create confusion & prevent people from getting assistance they need. Help us share accurate information: http://fema.gov/helene-rumors There has been a lot of rumors spreading about the #Helene response.

Former President Barack Obama will hit the campaign trail with Vice President Kamala Harris in the final month leading up to the election. Harris, who appears to be losing momentum, needs all the help she can get to stave off former President Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House. Obama’s first event will occur Thursday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the beginning of a swing-state “blitz” through Election Day, a senior campaign official told establishment media outlets Friday. Polling shows Harris and Trump are within the margin of error in the Keystone State, although Republicans appear to be picking up momentum...

With a month to go until the election, the 'Deep State' is now going full throttle to make sure Harris is elected...First, they have ensured Jack Smith has put the "lawfare" attacks against Trump back in the headlines. There was absolutely no reason to open the sealed documents in the case before the election. Second, the delay in the dockworkers strike is huge. It keeps the economy from being damaged before the election, and keeps Biden and Harris from having to do anything about it. Another huge win for the democrats--as I am sure Deep State pressure was involved in...

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will hold a Town Hall on Friday, October 4, 2024, at 7:00PM EDT in Fayetteville, North Carolina. President Trump is once again going to take questions directly from voters, listen to their concerns, and share why his policies will put the working men and women of North Carolina first. While Kamala Harris believes she is above talking directly with voters and avoids tough questions from the press, President Trump and Senator JD Vance are going everywhere, talking to everyone, and making their case directly to the American people....

On the evening of September 6, 2024, Owen Beierman, 12, and his father, Ryan, 43, were hunting bears near Siren, Wisconsin. Siren is about 50 miles north and 50 miles east of Minneapolis, in northwest Wisconsin.Owen shot a 200 lb black bear with his .350 Legend rifle. The bear ran off, leaving a strong blood trail. Even mortally wounded bears often run for some distance. The Beiermans borrowed a Labrador retriever from their neighbors and started tracking the bear about 20 minutes after it was shot. It was already getting dark. Game is often shot just after sunrise or shortly...

Residents in North Carolina are frustrated with the federal government’s response in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which has already taken the lives of more than 220 people. Helene, the deadliest mainland hurricane since Hurricane Katrina, hit the people of North Carolina particularly hard. Large portions of Asheville, Chimney Rock, Swannanoa, and Biltmore Village were wiped out by flooding, and the western part of state is struggling with limited power, internet, and cell service, and water systems have been destroyed. Suffering residents say the federal government has offered little help and has been far too slow to respond. For example,...
