In yet another case of a supposed conspiracy theory becoming established fact, the U.S. Treasury Department has confirmed that the nation’s largest banks consistently discriminated against customers based on political and social considerations, beginning in the chaotic 2020 election year. In addition to being a reprehensible weapon deployed by a political mass movement to punish half the nation’s population for their political beliefs, the debanking campaign constitutes a thoroughly staggering and shameful misuse of government power, a scandal of historic proportions. In a 47-page report titled “Debanked: Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” released on October 14, the Treasury Department’s...

President Donald Trump lambasted his ex-attorney Alina Habba Mildon for scoring an alleged $50 million payday from the family of businessman Julio Herrera Velutini, just weeks before Trump gave him a pardon, while speaking to reporters at a Mar-a-Lago Halloween bash on Saturday night. The president ripped Habba Mildon for leveraging her ties to him in order to strike the alleged deal, saying it was “unacceptable” and a “totally obnoxious and outrageous” stunt to pull. Trump shared his disgust with her two days after The New York Times reported the stealth big bucks agreement. “What did you make of Alina...

While the news is scattered and the incidents fresh, it appears the EU-supported politicians attempted a coup d’etat in Poland and lost due to the bravery of the Polish president Karol Nawrocki and the thousands of Poles who support him. The international press is largely silent as this significant setback for the EU unfolds, but thanks to Elon Musk, X is covering it well. Hermann Tertsch , a member of the European Parliament for Spain, reports: Without X, no one in Europe would have found out about what happened in Poland tonight. The head of government Donald Tusk carried out...

A crooked California doctor who ripped off Medicare for more than $45 million to bankroll luxury vacations, expensive cars, and a jaw-dropping $12,000 antique crossbow is finally facing serious prison time. Violetta Mailyan, 45, of Glendale, was sentenced to 15 years behind bars after a jury found her guilty of running an enormous fraud operation through her Healthy Way Medical Center clinic, submitting fraudulent claims for Botox treatments that were medically unnecessary, purely cosmetic or never performed at all. The staggering scam wasn’t just about bogus paperwork. Mailyan billed taxpayers for treatments supposedly administered while her clinic was shuttered —...

The Justice Department unveiled charges against five people accused of orchestrating a sophisticated campaign to rip off federal financial aid by enrolling “ghost students” who existed only on paper — seizing about $750,000 in ill-gotten funds. The network operated in the US and Kenya, where a phony safari company banked the loot after applying to and then enrolling phony students in college, using stolen identification. The Kenyan scheme is believed to have netted about $2 million. Three of the five defendants — Mabed Utate-Alberto, Patricia Perez and George Mendez — were charged in New Jersey for acting as “money mules”...

"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval" (Heb. 11:1-2). Christian faith produces righteous deeds. Hebrews 11 has been called "The Heroes of Faith," "The Faith Chapter," "The Saints' Hall of Fame," "The Honor Roll of the Old Testament Saints," and "The Westminster Abbey of Scripture." Those are appropriate titles because this chapter highlights the virtues of faith as demonstrated in the lives of great Old Testament saints. It also reminds us that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Such a reminder was...

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhen Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven…” Matthew 5:1–3Do you want to get to Heaven? Most would instinctively respond, “Yes.” But imagine an angel appearing to you today and saying, “The Most High God will be taking you to Heaven this very day.” How would you react? Would your heart leap with joy? Or would a wave of fear wash over you as...

*** “It’s just an environment of possible retribution,” Mr. Wood said. “It is that fear she instills.” Over nearly 30 years, Ms. Collins, a self-styled moderate in a familiar Maine mold, has cultivated a public persona as a workhorse and a fastidious maestro of constituent services and pork-barrel disbursements, using her Washington know-how to get her constituents what they need. But for just as long, her detractors say, she has managed to mostly mask another reality. “The gentlewoman from Maine,” as her colleagues say on the Senate floor, is a formidable power broker who can play a fierce brand of...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men,...

By Dr. John BergsmaA happy Feast of All Saints to one and all! This is one of my favorite feasts. The month of November is not formally a liturgical season, but since it begins with All Saints and ends with Christ the King, these four weeks really do have the feel of a liturgical season focused on meditation on the Last Things: Heaven, Hell, Death, and Judgment. The Readings for All Saints are, of course, beautiful. Here are some quick thoughts: 1. The First Reading is Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14. 2I, John, saw another angel come up from the East, holding...
