Israeli president Isaac Herzog has asked opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form a new government in a blow to Benjamin Netanyahu. On Friday, the centrist Yashar party leader said Israel was 'in a true, tangible, and dangerous state of emergency'.

The international banker who is Canada’s Prime Minister has announced he will import 2.3 million extra migrants to reanimate an economy paralyzed by millions of prior migrants. “We are masters of our destiny,” banker and liberal party chief Mark Carney posted on Twitter, as his deputies revealed his sure-to-pass budget plan that will bring a record 2.3 million migrants over the next three years — even though 1.5 million Canadians lack jobs. Carney’s bloc of 2.3 million includes new migrants, temporary migrants, and permanent status for prior temporary migrants. They will enter a nation of 42 million, which already includes...

LEADERSHIP AND LISTENING "Listen to what I am saying," Job cried out to his "friends" in the biblical story. "That is all the comfort I ask from you. Give me a chance to speak, and then, when I am through, sneer if you like." Job didn't ask for much. But it was more than these colleagues were prepared to offer. Unfortunately, such encounters are far too frequent -- even among those we would expect to care about what we think or feel. Back in 1989, Admiral Carlisle Trost (then Chief of Naval Operations) asked a group at the Navy's...

Minnesota Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar is wasting no time pushing for new restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, even as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to decide whether bans on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles violate the Second Amendment. Just one day after winning the November 3 election, Klobuchar told reporters that legislation targeting firearms and magazines would be a top priority for her incoming administration. “The gun safety bill is going to get passed,” Klobuchar declared during her November 4 press conference. The timing is particularly significant. On December 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Viramontes v. Cook County...

But there is a fifth mark that Catholics have long recognized: Persecution. As traditional Catholics face mounting restrictions from Rome, could the persecution of those who remain faithful to Tradition be helping preserve the visible identity of the true Church?One of the most intriguing aspects of the current crisis in the Catholic Church comes to light when we consider the following truths of our religion:The Catholic Church is a perpetually visible society.The Catholic...

We just got back from the theater where we saw "Drummer Boy," a Revolutionary War musical, believe it or not. It reminded me a lot of "La La Land," which I quit watching halfway through, but I actually enjoyed this one. It is NOT an historically correct movie. It's a musical, and like all musicals it is a bit corny and improbable, but its heart is in the right place and I found the singing to be fun. I recommend it. As America’s fight for independence begins, a young drummer boy, an enslaved woman, and a divided family search for...

Fans of Peter Weir's 2003 adventure movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World are often heard to ask, "Why didn't they make a sequel?" as a halfway stop to the question "Why don't they make more films like this?" The answer to the first question, like any Hollywood mystery, has to do with money and studio expectations. The answer to the second requires you to think about men, what they like, what they want, and if any of those things have been a priority at any movie studio in the near quarter century since Master and Commander...
