[Catholic Caucus] Even the German Conference news website concedes: Francis liedIn a piece on the explosive revelation of the generally positive response of the world's bishops to Summorum Pontificum, the news website of the German Bishops' Conference uses the most diplomatic of languages:Pope Francis appears to have ignored the advice of the bishops previously consulted worldwide when he restricted the Traditional Latin Mass. According to documents that have now become public, the responses to a survey conducted by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on the implementation of the rules for the pre-conciliar liturgy put in place by...

Did the U.S. economy really lose jobs in June for the first time since the pandemic? Payroll king ADP says yes, but investors ought to treat the report with a heavy dose of skepticism. ADP on Wednesday said the private sector eliminated 33,000 jobs last month owing to lingering uncertainty caused by U.S. trade wars. The decline in employment was the first ADP has measured since March 2023.

VIDEOHave you ever heard of concentration camps that provide air conditioning and serve up three square meals per day while NOT forcing the inmates to work? No? Then you will laugh at the Drama Queen hysteria of these liberals having meltdowns over Alligator Alcatraz while screaming DISINFORMATION such as that the back doors of cargo planes full of illegals are being opened over the ocean where they are unloaded. Or that that the Alligator Alcatraz incinerators are for disposing inmates, not trash. The source for this? Strictly feelings NOT facts. Will the media correct all the DISINFORMATION being spewed about...

A bombshell new CIA review of the Obama administration’s spy agencies assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump was deliberately corrupted by then-CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who were “excessively involved” in its drafting, and rushed its completion in a “chaotic,” “atypical” and “markedly unconventional” process which raised questions of a “potential political motive.” Further, Brennan’s decision to include the discredited Steele Dossier, against the objections of the CIA’s most senior Russia experts, “undermined the credibility” of the assessment. The “Tradecraft Review of the...

ABSURD: CNN reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the OFFICIAL dismantling of USAID. Their first reaction? "Its closure could contribute to some 14 MILLION DEATHS in the next five years!"

NEW YORK, NY — As part of his campaign platform in his attempt to become the next mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani pledged that he would build a wall separating East New York from West New York. Promising to turn the Big Apple into a shining example of a communist utopia, Mamdani unveiled the ambitious plan to physically separate the city's left-wing populace from the remaining capitalists, Christians, and conservatives. "This is our chance to create our ideal New York City," Mamdani said. "It's long past time to place a physical barrier to delineate our community collective from...

What is Vegan? A vegan diet is a strict form of plant-based eating that excludes all animal products and by-products, such as meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey. Some products, such as refined sugars and gelatins, are excluded due to the use of animal products during processing. Vegans rely on plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, to meet their nutritional needs. Common motivations for adopting a vegan lifestyle include ethical concerns about animal welfare, a desire to reduce environmental impact, and the pursuit of health benefits associated with a plant-based diet.

Oh how far we’ve come since Tina Peters (see https://tinapeters.us/) and President Trump cracked open the Deep State’s Deepest and Darkest Secret – that the secret is of how elections are stolen on a national magnitude. Through stolen elections, especially during the last 25 years in the age of Computerized voting, the Deep State has successfully assembled and infested a network of controlled and compromised individuals into a great deal of positions of political power in our country. Anyway, the lightning fast speed of computers interconnected throughout the entire election ecosystem has ironically resulted in a laughingly obvious collection of...

U.S. President Donald Trump concluded his Middle East tour on Friday with a visit to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, an interfaith complex housing a mosque, church and synagogue. During his visit to the Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue, guided by Emirati representatives, Trump described the experience as “amazing.” "The Abrahamic Family House stands as a sacred and powerful testament to the vision of the Middle East shared by the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates,” he wrote in the guest book. “I see in this house the promise for our future if humanity chooses cooperation...

DEARBORN, MI — The Ford Motor Company made history once again with its recent debut of the world's first autonomous car to leave the factory and drive straight to the shop for repairs. According to upper-level Ford executives, the fully self-driving car is the first of its kind to be able to make a direct bee-line from the assembly line to the nearest mechanic shop. "This is really exciting, groundbreaking stuff," said Jameson Lloyd, who directs Ford's autonomous vehicles program. "No one else has ever been able to craft a car so self-aware that it can roll directly from the...

It was a surprising statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi as the Trump administration promises to release more files from its sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein: The FBI, she said, was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of the wealthy financier “with children or child porn.” The comment, made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark to a stranger with a hidden camera, raised the stakes for President Donald Trump’s administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling evidence. That task is all the more pressing after an earlier document dump that...

For almost a decade now, the Left’s favorite insult has been to call Donald Trump an idiot. They toss it around like it’s some kind of magic word that automatically disqualifies him from being taken seriously. Not only is it juvenile, it’s also lazy, smug, and totally out of touch. This is what happens when people are so blinded by hate that they can’t even see what’s right in front of them. It’s easier for them to dismiss Trump as “dumb” than to admit they underestimated a guy who just keeps winning in court, in the polls, and in the...

Weyerhaeuser has broken ground on a $500 million plant in Arkansas to produce engineered lumber from the small trees that have piled up across the pine belt after the closure of many pulp and paper mills. It is a big bet on one of the most depressed commodities in America: pine trees that are too small, crooked or otherwise unfit for making lumber. The decline of pulp and paper mills has left some timberland owners with wood they can’t sell. Several ventures have sought to capitalize on the pulpwood glut, including burning it to generate electricity—locally and abroad—and manufacturing oriented...

President Trump announced Wednesday that US negotiators have reached a tentative trade deal with Vietnam – America’s seventh-largest trade partner and a major manufacturing hub. “It is my Great Honor to announce that I have just made a Trade Deal with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam after speaking with To Lam, the Highly Respected General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It will be a Great Deal of Cooperation between our two Countries. The Terms are that Vietnam will pay the United States a 20% Tariff on any and all goods sent into our...

The nation’s largest abortion provider must stop offering it in some states or risk losing millions in Medicaid funding to provide basic health care for low-income Americans.Senate Republicans voted on Tuesday to pass President Trump’s spending bill, bringing abortion opponents one step closer to stripping Planned Parenthood of federal funding — a move that could jeopardize abortion access for patients even in states where abortion is legal. The bill imposes a one-year ban on state Medicaid payments to any health care nonprofit that offers abortions and received more than $800,000 in federal funding in 2023. The restriction jeopardizes Planned Parenthood’s...
