Daily Readings from the USCCB“The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23:11–12If you were to plan out the ideal future for yourself, what would it look like? Imagine if you were not constrained by budget or resources. Imagine if you could pick to do anything you wanted, to go anywhere you wanted, and enjoy any activity that you wanted. Imagine the greatest experience you could possibly have. What would that be? Most people would immediately think about indulging in the greatest pleasures imaginable. A life...

A man was shot to death and another man was wounded when the two attempted to foil the attempt of men trying to steal their parked vehicle in an alley in the South Los Angeles area, authorities said Sunday. The shooting was reported at 9:20 p.m. Saturday in the 8000 block of South Hooper Avenue, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The victims were alerted to an alarm sound from their vehicle, which was parked in an alley, and saw three suspects attempting to steal it. “When they confronted the suspects, a fourth suspect, standing near the south...

Folks who attended Friday night’s Vikings-Titans game in Nashville saw something unexpected, but not quite as uncommon as it used to be. A green dildo was thrown onto the field. It’s become a trend at WNBA games in recent weeks. The phenomenon has NFL roots, however. Late in Tom Brady’s tenure with the Patriots, Bills fans threw pink dildos onto the field whenever he played in Buffalo. It happened most recently in 2022, in a Pats-Bills game not involving Brady. Whether Friday night’s gesture was an aberration or a trend remains to be seen. However, Brady likely will be back...

The battleship’s contract with the Navy, Spevak said, says two things: They are “not allowed to touch the engine systems,’ which is one reason why tug boats were used to move it from the dry dock. And the other is that “the Navy reserves the right to recall the ship back into service in the event of a national emergency.” However, Spevak stated “we have no feeling that that will ever happen again,” and that none of the refurbishments were done with the idea that the ship would ever return to service. The Navy does, however, issue guidelines about how...

FBI agents raided the Maryland home and Washington, DC office of President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton Friday morning in a high-profile probe of allegations that he sent “highly sensitive” classified documents to his family from a private email server while working in the White House.Federal investigators went to Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., at 7 a.m. in an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, a Trump administration official told The Post. Agents later went to Bolton’s office in downtown DC, but did not enter until a judge signed a warrant for that location late Friday morning.“NO...

BREAKING - A young man from Dalton, UK has been arrested after shouting “we love bacon” during a protest at a mosque.

The Pavlovian Left goes berserk at the mere prospect of each new Trump initiative. Its escalating reactive venom and hysteria are calibrated to the success of Trump's latest policy. Yet the new hard-left Democratic Party offers no counter-agenda to explain its furor. Still less do Democrats attempt bipartisan efforts to craft shared legislation. Take foreign policy. Democratic senators trashed the recent Trump-Putin Alaskan summit as a failure. Then they became depressed when, just days later, an entourage of European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suddenly flew to the White House. The Euros praised Trump for offering some sort of...

Reform UK is pledging mass deportations of asylum seekers who arrive in the UK in small boats. The party's leader - Nigel Farage - has told The Times that there is a "massive crisis" in the UK, which threatens national security and could lead to public disorder. Under the plans, people could be arrested on arrival, detained on disused RAF bases and, if agreements were reached, returned to Afghanistan, Eritrea and other countries that are significant sources of arrivals. Many of these measures could face legal challenges and political opposition. Labour has branded them "pie in the sky", while the...

WATCH: Failed politician Stacey Abrams says Trump is a "Grand Ayatollah" with "mystical power." "Elections are not real."

A school board meeting in California descended into explosive debate after a girls' volleyball team forfeited to an opponent with a transgender player. The players on the Riverside Poly High School girls' volleyball team chose to forfeit last Friday's game against Jurupa Valley High School. Multiple parents previously told Fox News Digital the forfeit was in response to the presence of trans athlete AB Hernandez on the Jurupa Valley team. Local parents showed up to the Riverside Unified School District board meeting on Thursday to speak out in support of the girls who forfeited and against the school district for...

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee was sworn into his new leadership role earlier this week by former Vice President Kamala Harris – one of the key ex-White House officials the panel’s chair is interested in hearing from in its probe of President Joe Biden. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., was elected to serve as ranking member of the committee in June, following the death of former ranking member Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. Harris, who swore Garcia in as mayor of Long Beach in 2014 when she was California’s attorney general, reprised that role on Wednesday in a ceremonial...

The Democrat Party gets weirder every day. There was a time when most of the Democrats I knew were tradesmen, roughnecks, farmers, and union guys. They were tough dudes, often veterans, and told some of the bawdiest jokes I’ve ever heard. Now Democrats can’t define what a dude is; they want to wokify the military into some gaudy pageant for drag queens who fear guns; and they’ve replaced “politically incorrect” humor with stern lectures. No wonder American men are fleeing the Democrat Party like it’s a sexually transmitted disease. Speaking of STDs, one of the Democrat lectures that Americans are...

An illegal immigrant accused of attempting to kill a woman in a “twisted” caught-on-video “version of Russian roulette” in Venezuela wept like a baby as the feds collared him on the streets of Texas, The Post can reveal. Illegal migrant Raul Enrique Pargas Rodriguez, 31, fled Venezuela after trying to murder the helpless woman, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told The Post. Pargas Rodriguez crossed the Texas border illegally on Aug. 10, 2022, and was quickly released by overwhelmed border agents under the Biden administration, who had no information on his dark past. The Maduro regime wasn’t sharing information with...

Saturday marks the 86th anniversary of the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, an agreement concluded between Moscow and Berlin that would effectively lead to the carve up of Poland and condemn the world to six years of war. In hindsight, it is abundantly clear that a major global conflict had long been brewing, however, it was the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that is now viewed as the final treachery that would lead to war. While, in essence, the pact was billed as a non-aggression agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, it contained a secret annex that divided...

In Britain, the interplay of handed-down ethnic conflict, contemporary issues such as rape gangs, and institutional submission to Islam has created a polarized society on the brink of civil war. In historical times, the British Isles were first inhabited by Celts. Then they were invaded by Romans who withdrew after a few hundred years. Anglo-Saxons immediately replaced the departing southerners, landing in droves on the English east coast. Vikings also crossed the North Seas and tried their luck, gradually integrating with the natives. Finally, the isles were conquered by Normans — a third Germanic wave. England and the rest of...

A maniac threw gasoline on cops and set fire to a decommissioned police precinct in the Bronx early Friday morning using a gas-filled Coca-Cola bottle, according to sources and the NYPD. Samantha Calderon, 32, of the Bronx, was witnessed by two police officers allegedly pouring gasoline on a decommissioned stationhouse on Alexander Avenue at around 2:30 a.m., according to sources. The alleged firebug then lit the gasoline on fire, which ignited on the structure briefly before it self-extinguished, cops said. When confronted, Calderon became combative and threw gasoline from the bottle of Coke onto the officers, hitting them in the...

Two seemingly normal Los Angeles hardware stores were actually elaborate fronts for a massive cargo theft operation that netted $4.5 million worth of stolen goods ripped off from trains, trucks and cargo ships, police said. DJ General Tool & Wire’s Montebello and Huntington Park locations served as distribution centers for an organized crime ring that targeted valuable merchandise from across Southern California’s transportation network, according to the LAPD. The stolen inventory included power tools, e-bikes and appliances from major brands including Dyson, Milwaukee, DeWalt and Makita, investigators told the Los Angeles Times. Store owner Dojoon Park, 41, of Montebello, was...
