    As a Canadian friend told me after the church on Sunday, his compatriots up north need to start thinking about their country and less about hating Trump. It seems that the Canadian version of Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well up there. The latest involves President Trump stopping negotiations over a tax. Here is the story: President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States is immediately “terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada” in response to Ottawa’s decision to impose a digital services tax on American tech firms. Trump’s surprise announcement on Truth Social accused Canada of “copying...

    HOVELTE, Denmark (AP) — Peering across a dense stretch of woodland outside of Denmark’s capital with camouflage paint smeared across her face, 20-year-old Katrine scans the horizon for approaching threats. After nearly four months of military training, the young soldier and the rest of her unit spent early June completing their final exercises near the Danish army’s barracks in Hovelte, 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of Copenhagen. Katrine and other female soldiers, all of whom spoke to The Associated Press on June 11 on the condition that only their first names be used because of operational security, volunteered for military...

    The mighty task of the post-Glastonbury clean-up got underway this morning as volunteers were left sorting through mounds of plastic waste, drug paraphernalia and hippy crack canisters. Glastonbury revellers have long been accused of hypocrisy for leaving Worthy Farm buried under heaps of waste - despite the virtue-signalling eco-conscious event preaching sustainability.

    Them Duke boys were at it again on Saturday… At the Somernites Cruise festival in Somerset, KY, one brave stunt driver by the name of Raymond Kohn hopped in a General Lee replica and jumped 150 feet over/through the town’s Fountain Square. It’s a video you have to see to believe — and people on social media were posting it from every possible angle. With thousands upon thousands in attendance for the 25th annual Somernites Cruise, known as the official car cruise capital of Kentucky, the “Dukes of Hazzard”-inspired 1969 Dodge Charger flew off the ramp, barrelled through the fountain’s...

    A man was arrested by Capitol Police on Sunday after interrupting the Senate debate on President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," shouting from the Senate Galleries that the lawmakers are "horrible." Allen D. Rogers, of Florida, was arrested for unlawful conduct after he refused to obey officers' orders to stop the disruption, according to police. "At approximately 7:00 p.m., our officers arrested a man who started being disruptive in the Senate Galleries," police said in a statement. The interruption happened between speeches by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on the Republican-backed spending bill. Rogers...

    A priest has refused Holy Communion to Liberal Democrat MP Chris Coghlan over his vote in favour of the UK’s assisted suicide bill on 20 June. Coghlan, who represents Dorking and Horley in Surrey, was then named from the pulpit during Mass two days later, as the country moved a step closer to legalising state assisted death. Coghlan called the priest’s actions “outrageous” and has lodged a complaint with Bishop Richard Moth, Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, over what he described as an attempt to coerce an elected lawmaker’s vote. However, Bishop Moth has been a vocal opponent of the...

    As six states have passed laws requiring some type of prenatal development education in schools, and 18 have filed forms of this legislation, a social media group has chosen to attack the video that inspired it all. The far-left social media group NowThis Impact recently posted a video referring to Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” video — a computer animation of prenatal development from fertilization to birth — as “creepy” and “indoctrination.” This is ironic, as the same group supports the distribution of Planned Parenthood-backed pornographic and/or gender-ideology driven books and sex education materials to children in schools. Key Takeaways: *...

    NEW YORK, June 20 (C-Fam) A UN committee of human rights experts told the Government of Guatemala that its restrictive abortion laws must change. Unlike many non-binding recommendations of UN rights bodies, the opinion in this case is binding to a limited degree. The Human Rights Committee, charged with monitoring the implementation of the UN civil rights treaty, told the small Central American nation that its abortion laws violate its human rights obligations. The opinion of the UN treaty body is doubly controversial. Not only does the opinion call for legal abortion. It attempts to redefine the technical legal term...

    Abortionist Cesare Santangelo, who operates the Washington Surgi-Clinic, was spotted by pro-life activists entering the facility this week with a full cast on his right arm and unable to walk on his own. Key Takeaways: * Terrisa Bukovinac, founder of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) and co-discoverer of the “DC Five,” saw Santangelo outside of his facility, seemingly injured or temporarily disabled. * Bukovinac questioned whether Santangelo was capable of committing abortions with a cast, or if doing so would put women’s lives at further risk. * The group recorded the interaction and posted it to social media.

    The Irish Rover, a student-run Catholic newspaper at the University of Notre Dame, has won a major legal victory after the Indiana Supreme Court declined to hear a defamation case brought by Professor Tamara Kay. The court’s June 18 decision ends a multi-year legal effort by Kay to challenge the paper’s reporting on her pro-abortion activism — leaving intact lower court rulings that found the Rover’s coverage was accurate and protected under Indiana law, the Irish Rover reported. Kay sued the newspaper in 2023 over two articles she claimed were defamatory. The first, published in the fall of 2022, cited...

    The end is nigh. That seems to be the message this week from the three liberal justices at the Supreme Court when faced with the nightmarish prospect of parents being able to remove their young children from mandatory classes on gay, lesbian and transgender material. … Justice Sonia Sotomayor declared that there “will be chaos for this nation’s public schools” and both education and children will “suffer” if parents are allowed to opt their children out of these lessons. She also worried about the “chilling effect” of the ruling, which would make schools more hesitant to offer such classes in...

    The Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore City held a second criminal trial for Patrick Brice, who was accused of physically assaulting pro-life sidewalk advocates Dick Schaefer and Mark Crosby on May 26th, 2023, outside a Planned Parenthood facility on North Howard Street in Baltimore. Brice (picted right) whose attorney did not dispute his guilt, encountered the two elderly men peacefully standing and praying outside the abortion facility. Unprovoked, Brice violently attacked both men, leaving Schaefer unconscious and Crosby with multiple fractured facial bones and temporary blindness. On February 6th, the jury found Patrick Brice guilty on two counts of misdemeanor...

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed on Friday a budget that pares back a number of progressive priorities, including a landmark health care expansion for low-income adult illegal immigrants, to close a $12 billion deficit. It’s the third year in a row the nation’s most populous state has been forced to slash funding or stop some of the programs championed by Democratic leaders. Lawmakers passed the budget earlier in the day following an agreement of a $321 billion spending plan between Newsom and Democratic leaders. But the whole budget will be void if lawmakers don’t send him legislation to make it...
