    Daily Readings from the USCCB“What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ The son said in reply, ‘I will not,’ but afterwards he changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, ‘Yes, sir,’ but did not go. Which of the two did his father’s will?” Matthew 21:28–31Jesus addressed this question to the chief priests and elders of the people. As the passage continues, Jesus humbles them by saying, “Amen, I...

    Mexican lawmakers were filmed shoving each other and pulling hair on the floor of Congress in Mexico City on Monday. The viral video shows women lawmakers of rival parties jostling for position at a podium in the front of the chamber. The women's argument escalates from shouts to pushing and ultimately to pulling each other's hair as other lawmakers try to intervene. The scene took place during debate over reforms to Mexico City's transparency oversight agency. Members of the right-leaning National Action Party (PAN) were protesting conduct by the left-leaning Moreno Party, which is the controlling power. PAN representatives were...

    The attempt to discriminate against Christians at a cooperative apartment complex in Westchester County, New York failed. Those who run the cooperative allowed the display of a menorah in the common area, but not a nativity scene. They failed because we intervened. What makes this story so bizarre is that the same issue took place last Christmas, and in the same building in Larchmont, New York! The only difference is that the building management company is new and the resident who complained is new. But the facts are the same. I wrote to the new Property Manager company, recounting the...

    An Orthodox Jewish man was attacked on the New York City subway last night, in an incident that was recorded and published on social media. In the footage, two men approach a group of Orthodox men, reportedly members of the Chabad Lubavitch sect, and begin hurling insults at them. One of the Jewish men then appears to step in between the two aggressors and the other Jewish men, at which point they turn on him and threaten to “teach [him] a lesson,” before grabbing him by the neck. “The (*redacted*) you doing?” the attacker can be heard demanding of the...
  • ‘A Conspiracy Theorist for a Decade’: Trump’s Chief of Staff Gets Stunningly Candid in Blockbuster Vanity Fair Exposé

    Mediaite ^ | Decermber 16, 2025 | David Gilmour
    President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles offered a remarkably candid window into a presidency she described, repeatedly, as driven by impulse and a widening view of executive power, in a blockbuster Vanity Fair portrait built around months of exclusive on-the-record conversations. Wiles may be the most powerful figure in Trump’s West Wing besides Trump himself, but her role is exercised less as a brake than as a gearbox, translating the president’s instinct into policy, and urging everyone else to fall into line. “I’m not an enabler. I’m also not a bitch,” Wiles said. “I guess time will tell...

    Since this country’s founding, newly arrived immigrants wanted to become Americans, and did just that, conforming to our culture and values. Why is it that now, over the past several decades, we don’t expect the same conformity from our “adopted refugees?” How is it considered racist to expect newly arrived immigrants (legal or illegal) and refugees to become “Americanized”? Early 1993, I deployed to Somalia to support Operation Restore Hope. If you saw the 2001 movie Black Hawk Down, the Mogadishu of 1993 was worse than portrayed in that movie. Somalia was never what one could call a “successful country.”...

    CHRISTMAS BIBLE-ART EPISODE #4 of 33 GABRIEL'S AMAZING NEWS FOR MARY L U K E CHAPTER 1 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you...

    On August 8, 2022, former President Biden's administration authorized an FBI raid of President Trump's Florida home in the unprecedented legal prosecution of a former president. Former AG Merrick Garland said that he personally authorized the raid. Garland: "I personally approved" the Mar-a-Lago raid. pic.twitter.com/qw8HJOcsGZ— Greg Price (@greg_price11) August 11, 2022At the time, senior FBI agents thought the plan to raid the home was absolutely ludicrous.

    Only in the Messiah of Israel is found the RIGHTEOUSNESS that we so desperately need to enter into Almighty God’s Holy and Perfect Heaven. That is what is so wonderful about the Christmas message!

    Running out the clock: The FBI and DOJ slow-walked their investigation into the Clinton Foundation and the sale of Uranium One to Russia-backed interests. As a result of roadblocks, the statute of limitations was allowed to lapse on any prosecution. Federal investigators believed there was significant evidence worth pursuing related to possible criminality involving the Clinton Foundation and the State Department’s approval of the sale of Uranium One to Russian state-owned interests, but delays by the Justice Department and FBI led the inquiry to whither and die because of statute of limitations issues. The sale of the Canada-based Uranium One...

    ABC Australia ^ | 12/16/25 | Sean Rubinsztein-Dunlop, Olivia Caisley
    A senior counterterrorism official has told the ABC Naveed and Sajid Akram underwent military-style training in the southern Philippines last month. The Philippines has been a hotspot for Islamist militants since the early 1990s, when terrorist training camps previously on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border were re-established in southern Mindanao. The father and son returned to Australia late last month, just weeks before the Bondi Beach massacre. Father-son gunmen Sajid and Naveed Akram travelled to the Philippines to receive "military-style training" in the month before they killed 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, security sources have confirmed. The revelation...

    Loudonville, NY. Governor Kathy Hochul holds double-digit leads over both Rep. Elise Stefanik (Hochul leads 49-30%, with 20% undecided) and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman (50-25%, 21% undecided), according to a new Siena Poll of New York State registered voters released today.

    That sound you hear could be the result of worry beads rubbing furiously against each other. It is an open question as to whether those worry beads are being rubbed by California Democrats or by Politico writer Melanie Mason or by both.The source of the angst is that there are just too many Democrats running for Governor of the Golden State, with eight so far that have thrown their hats into the ring. And why should this be a cause for worry? Because since California has an open nonpartisan primary next June, such a crowded Democrat field threatens to divide...

The couple’s 32-year-old son Nick has been arrested by the police as a suspect and he remains in custody without bail, as Breitbart News reported.

    The world championship has inked a fresh deal with the Portuguese government, Turismo de Portugal, and promoter Parkalgar, Parques Tecnológicos e Desportivos, S.A that will run across the 2027 and 2028 season. The Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, better known as Portimão, will host F1’s return to the country. The circuit last hosted F1 in 2020 and 2021 as part of the more European-centric seasons during the height of the COVID-19 global health crisis. “I’m delighted to see Portimão return to the Formula 1 calendar and for the sport to continue to ignite the passion of our incredible Portuguese fanbase,” said...

    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Verona-based Epic Systems, alleging the company runs an illegal monopoly and blocks parents from accessing their children's medical records. Paxton's suit alleges that Epic uses its electronic health records (EHR) software to effectively control how and when that data can be accessed. Additionally, the suit alleges that Epic makes it nearly impossible for health care providers to switch EHR providers by imposing huge financial penalties for doing so. "Epic publicly admits it does not "own" those records," Paxton wrote. "But Epic has used its position as an EHR software database architect to insert...

    Multiple splinter cell members of the radical Turtle Island Liberation Front, which posts disturbing slogans such as “Death to America” on social media, were arrested last Friday for allegedly plotting a New Year’s Eve terror attack in the Los Angeles area. Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), a little-known “pro-Palestine, anti-law-enforcement, and anti-government” extremist group, has quietly been raising funds and resources to usher in a “revolutionary change in government.” “TILF also calls for the working class to rise up and fight back against capitalism,” an FBI affidavit noted. “Moreover, TILF advocates that liberalism and peaceful protest will be the downfall...
