[Catholic Caucus] 10 Years After its Abolition by Francis, Leo XIV repristinates Imposition of Pallium in RomeIn 2015, Francis abolished the ceremony of the personal imposition of the Pallium on new archbishops by the pope's own hand in Rome. At the time, this rupture was presented, as usual, as a positive thing:After the presentation of the pallium, and in order to emphasise the participation of the local Church, Pope Francis has decided that this year the newly appointed metropolitan archbishops (residential archbishops who preside over an ecclesiastical province) of the world will be formally vested with the pallium by the...

On Sunday, L.A. Police Chief Jim McDonnell highlighted the level of violence police have battled, from a Molotov cocktail that hit an officer to two motorcyclists reportedly ramming skirmish lines to cinderblocks smashed into rocks, passed around and lobbed at police and commercial-grade fireworks launched at the force. “That can kill you,” McDonnell emphasized. The night of June 9 also devolved into a stretch of five Waymo driverless taxis on North Los Angeles Street near Arcadia Street tagged with graffiti and lit on fire, sending flames and clouds of toxic black smoke into the air. “These are people who are...

Life under Jerry Brown wasn't quite as bad, but the state had already become a Dem-run toilet. .. Los Angeles had a Republican mayor, and the state was in the midst of a 16-year run of Republican governors. But that was the 20th century. Good times. By the time I left, Kamala Harris was my new senator, and it was obvious that Newsom would be on his way to the governor's office. Oh, and Karen Bass was my representative in Congress. Yay me. California has been in a bit of a doom spiral since then. Its economy gets a built-in...

Inflation rose less than expected in May, a month when the effects of higher tariffs were starting to become more widespread. Consumer prices rose 0.1% last month, while the annual inflation rate increased to 2.4% from a four-year-low of 2.3% notched in April, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The better-than-expected inflation reading is welcome news for Americans worn down by the higher cost of living and who are fearful of whether tariffs will drive that higher. However, while the tariff impacts weren’t prevalent in Wednesday’s report, the latest CPI...

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who was deported from Israel after taking part in a flotilla which sought to break Israel’s naval blockade to Gaza, landed in Paris on Tuesday evening, before later returning to her country. Speaking to reporters upon her arrival and quoted by The Associated Press, Thunberg called for more actions to support aid efforts for Gaza, while leveling accusations at Israel over its treatment of Palestinian Arabs. Thunberg called for the release of the other activists who were detained aboard the Madleen flotilla, and said that the conditions the activists aboard the ship faced “are absolutely nothing...

U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General (JAG) Officer Benjamin France is accused of threatening January 6 and ICE agents in a post to his X account on Saturday. “And we will hunt down every J6 and ICE agent again,” France allegedly wrote in the X post.

Donald Trump is set to deploy ICE tactical units to five Democrat-run cities amid the riots in Los Angeles as Gavin Newsom nearly broke into tears while blaming his administration for inciting the California chaos. 'Look, this isn't just about protests here in Los Angeles, when Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard. He made that order apply to every state in this nation,' Newsom said, as he teared up.

“From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.” Democrats and assorted never-Trumpers are planning anti-Trump protests this weekend under the banner of ‘No Kings.’ It’s unclear why these losers think Trump sees himself as a king, but what else do these people have left but protests? They have shown repeatedly for months now, that they have nothing to offer the American people but their objections. Randi Weingarten, the head of the country’s largest teacher union, is involved for some reason. The left...

Appearing on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” former GOP presidential candidate and current Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy drew a blistering historical comparison between California Governor Gavin Newsom and infamous segregationist George Wallace—and he didn’t mince words. While Ramaswamy admitted a personal fondness for Newsom, he warned that the Democrat’s defiance of federal immigration law is dangerously reminiscent of a shameful chapter in American history. “I know Gavin Newsom. I actually happen to like him as a person,” Ramaswamy said. “The reality is, he’s not going to like what I have to say on this, which is that his behavior is starting...

A peer-reviewed study by Charlotte Lozier Institute reviewed nearly 30,000 visits to emergency rooms by women who had undergone either a surgical or chemical abortion and found that 80% of these visits were falsely recorded as miscarriages. Those who recommend chemical abortions routinely advise women who require immediate medical assistance to lie at the emergency room. The fear is that if the true cause of the emergency were reported it would negatively impact the sale of these abortion pills. In fact, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists usually advise medical personnel to not ask women if their urgent health...

During an appearance on CNN on Monday, former Univision anchor Maria Elena Salinas expressed her disapproval of the Trump administration for its handling of deportations in California. While making her point, she told “NewsNight” viewers that California was once part of Mexico, adding that all of the Southwest was “Mexico.”

Not long ago scientists had the novel idea to kill mosquitoes by turning our very own blood into a toxic, insect-killing death substance: Not surprisingly, I think most of us were like: Banner Ad So it would appear that the scientists have reverted to Mosquito Killing Plan B: Researchers in Maryland may have figured out a way that turns their affinity for breeding against them — leaving them disinterested in you until they die off days later. Entomologists at the University of Maryland traveled to West Africa to test their theory out. They took venom from spiders and scorpions and...

The media is trying so hard. The left-wing shills at Politico have seized on the chaos in California hoping it can be manipulated to catapult the state's Democrat governor into the national conversation. Trump has catapulted Newsom to the front of the Democratic resistance.The California Gov was overshadowed by Washington politics and Harris' political future. Now, he's back in the spotlight.https://t.co/3oBTeBwmPz— POLITICO (@politico) June 10, 2025But if this is his audition for 2028, it's not going very well. California Governor Gavin Newsom is up to his armpits in another mess of his own making. The progressive poser who during his...

A Russian Orthodox priest has sparked controversy with his provocative claim that Russian Muslims could be mobilized to commit violence against Christians. The statement was made as Moscow's Muslim community celebrated the holy festival of Eid al-Adha on Sunday. Schema-abbot Gavriil, during his sermon, referred to the Muslims congregating on Peace Avenue in Moscow for the festivities: "The entire space is covered with people. And these are healthy men, who do not drink alcohol, who wrestle and go to gyms for training." He made an alarming assertion: "This is a whole army. And if, one fine day, a mullah orders...

What’s happening in LA is going to happen all over the country." ... Below is a warning posted by Laura Loomer on X that raises the alarm on what the United States may very well be facing.

As I discussed with Border Czar@RealTomHoman last night, there are over 2 million “got aways” who came into our country illegally under Joe Biden and have never been identified or found. Many of...

Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse. While the "No Kings Day" ad did not mention President Donald Trump by name, its emphasis on values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump's foreign policy and "America First" agenda. A spokesperson for Walmart told Newsweek: "The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected...
