The shriek of whistles and a cacophony of cars honking have taken on new meaning on the streets of major U.S. cities in recent months — a warning to all those in earshot that immigration enforcement is nearby. The warning tactics from activists have become popular in cities recently targeted by Border Patrol immigration operations. Jill Garvey, a co-director of the pro-democracy group States at the Core, said during the first nationwide virtual “ICE WATCH” training session hosted with the help of community organizers from Chicago on Nov. 21. More than 500 people attended the online training session from dozens...

Daily Readings from the USCCBFirst Sunday of Advent“Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” Matthew 24:42–44How does one “stay awake” as our Lord commands us? We receive this holy exhortation as we enter into a new liturgical...

The Boy Scouts of America was officially chartered by Congress in 1916 for one purpose: That the purpose of this corporation shall be to promote, through organization and co-operation with other agencies, the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self- reliance and kindred virtues. While that official charter did not necessarily make the Boy Scouts of America an official part of the U.S. government, it has given them many perks over the years. Like for example, the law that gives The Boy Scouts of America...

The initial suspect, Judith Lord's neighbor, has been found responsible for her murder.The 1975 murder of Judith Lord in New Hampshire has now been solved through modern forensic science, the state Attorney General’s Office announced Monday. On May 20, 1975, Judith “Judy” Lord, 22, was found strangled to death in her home at the Concord Garden Apartments. The buildings operations manager, who went to Lord’s apartment to collect overdue rent, entered after hearing a baby’s persistent cries and discovered Lord lying unresponsive in an upstairs bedroom with a blue plastic sauna suit covering her face, officials said. Lord’s 20-month-old son...

ZURICH, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Switzerland on Sunday clearly rejected ​a proposed 50% tax on inherited ‌fortunes of 50 million Swiss francs ($62 million) or ‌more, public broadcaster SRF said in a first results estimate, with an expected 79% of votes against the plan. The proposal from the ⁠youth wing of ‌the leftist Social Democrats, or JUSOs, aimed to fund projects to ‍reduce the impact of climate change, was widely expected to fail, with over two-thirds of respondents ​against the proposed tax in recent polls. Bankers have ‌watched the vote closely, casting it as a litmus test of appetite for...

“Literally everything the left did, every line they crossed and rule they broke, all came back to slap them in the face.” —Insurrection Barbie on “X”. Fulton County, GA, Election HQ, Nov 3, 2020 — the Night of the Broken Toilet. Indeed, you have a lot to be thankful for this week of humble national gratitude — for instance, the explosive new revelations as to just exactly how US elections have been rigged, and how, it now appears, Mr. Trump and his people, are prepared to go mad-dog on the sinister forces behind it. It all unspooled this Thanksgiving week,...

When former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi moved to England a year ago they put the blame firmly on Donald Trump. The American TV star said she decided to settle in the Cotswolds the day after Mr Trump was re-elected President because life 'is just better' in the UK. But now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Ms DeGeneres has told friends she and Ms de Rossi are planning to spend more time in sunny California because they 'miss their friends' and dread the thought of another British winter. A source said: 'Ellen...

NEW YORK (AP) — Cat Murphy, a college student, has wanted to be a journalist since she was 11. Many of her friends don’t understand why. When they engage with the news — if they do — they hear a cacophony of voices. They don’t know who to believe. Reporters are biased. They make mistakes. Besides, why would you hitch your future to a dying industry? “There is a lot of commentary — ‘Oh, good for you. Look what you’re walking into. You’re going to be screaming into the void. You’re going to be useless,’” said Murphy, a 21-year-old graduate...

Seoul police were called to a cafe on November 16, when a cheeky parrot was caught drinking from a patron's coffee cup. The bird, which is believed to be a Yellow-headed Amazon, is an endangered parrot native to Central America. How it made its way to a coffee shop in South Korea remains a mystery, but one thing is for sure: that bird needs its coffee. The police who responded to the call said that the parrot was very friendly, no doubt perked up by its afternoon caffeine. The parrot even allowed customers at the cafe to feed and pet...

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek (D) threatened to investigate and prosecute federal agents who enforce the United States’ immigration laws in the state of Oregon.In a video on Instagram, Kotek accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of carrying out “violent actions” and “stoking fear in the name of immigration enforcement.” Kotek also said the state would “investigate misconduct” and hold federal officers accountable.

Gen Z and Millennials will make up 60% of the votes in upcoming elections. The successful leaders will have done the work and articulated the principles that motivate this up-and-coming group. The old platitudes will not work. Neither will the old political parties. These younger citizens reject the petulant Baby-Boomers’ vitriol and want answers to hard questions. These are the same questions every generation asks. It’s just gotten very real for this generation, and they want workable answers, not platitudes. The excesses of past generations have finally come home to roost. The national debt crushes the younger generation’s ability to...

SALT LAKE CITY — A young Utah couple heading to Idaho were killed early Saturday after being struck head-on by a wrong-way driver on Interstate 15 in Salt Lake City. The Utah Highway Patrol said a driver was headed the wrong way in the northbound lanes on the highway at approximately 2 a.m. when he slammed into another vehicle near 2100 South. Both occupants in the vehicle that was hit, Anneka Wilson and Leo Shepherd, both 18 years old, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. The driver of the wrong-way vehicle, Jose Jimenez, suffered only minor injuries and...

Desiree Fixler @desireefixler I helped build the WEF’s “Great Reset.” Here’s what it really is — from the inside. The WEF sold the “Great Reset” as “build back better” — climate action, ESG, inclusion, and PPP. In practice, it shifted power away from voters to NGOs, corporate elites, and unelected technocrats. Policy was relabeled “science” to silence debate. Markets were warped by ESG scores, carbon taxes, and paper-pushing regulation. Corporations were turned into enforcers of ideology. As Nicole Shanahan reveals, communities weren’t uplifted — wealth and power were pushed upward. We got higher energy bills, debased money, an affordability crisis,...

The beatings will continue until morale improves. Two years ago, world-class researcher and analyst “Sundance” posted an alarming essay on his website, The Conservative Treehouse. Taking a look back at the previous years’ severe COVID tyranny, the rise of the Biden administration’s censorship regime, and the false media narratives pushing a NATO-Russia war in Ukraine, “Sundance” soberly concluded that “We the People” are in an abusive relationship with government. Within that essay, he embedded a picture of a woman holding a sign that reads: “DANGER: You are being conditioned to view your freedom as selfish.” At the end of the...

“‘I will put My Spirit upon Him’” (Matthew 12:18). The prophet promised that God would put His Holy Spirit upon Messiah in a special way, and the Spirit did descend on Jesus at His baptism (Matt. 3:16). But that was not when the Spirit first indwelt Him, because the Holy Spirit conceived Him (Matt. 1:20). Yet, if Jesus was the preexistent Son, eternally a member of the Godhead, why would the Spirit need to come upon Him during His incarnation? First, the Spirit needed to empower Jesus’ human nature. Our Lord was fully human, even to the extent of being...

A strange week in which Nicolás Maduro was reduced to hoping that Mark Kelly could bail him out. The president warned everyone to avoid the airspace over or alongside Venezuela this week. “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.” We have positioned a serious armada on that country’s shore. Among the explanations for these moves the most plausible I can find is Jeff Childers', who once again documents his views with credible links. The Caribbean communist country is practically daring us to do something...
