ROME — Pope Francis has proclaimed a special jubilee pilgrimage for gays and all LGBTQ+ people, Italian media announced this weekend. For the first time, a specific Jubilee event will be dedicated to Catholic homosexuals and LGBT people, noted the Italian daily, Il Messaggero, despite the Catholic Church considering homosexual acts to be intrinsically disordered. On September 5, Catholic members of the LGBTQI+ community will be hosted by the Jesuit Church of the Gesù, in central Rome, for a vigil service. The Jubilee 2025 initiative is sponsored by Jonathan’s Tent, an Italian pro-LGBTQ organization founded in 2018 by Catholic priest...

If we are to take back the culture, it is our job to define aesthetics and what is beautiful.

Humanity has thrown the global water cycle off balance “for the first time in human history,” fueling a growing water disaster that will wreak havoc on economies, food production and lives, according to a landmark new report. Decades of destructive land use and water mismanagement have collided with the human-caused climate crisis to put “unprecedented stress” on the global water cycle, said the report published Wednesday by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, a group of international leaders and experts. The water cycle refers to the complex system by which water moves around the Earth. Water evaporates from...

TALENT, Ore. — When Diane Ware’s home state of Oregon proposed a natural gas pipeline that threatened local waterways, she sprang into action — leading workshops on lobbying state lawmakers, mentoring student activists and organizing lectures at her church. But when plans for the pipeline were canceled, Ware, 78, found little pleasure in the victory. The retired elementary school teacher couldn’t shake the feeling that it may be too late to save a planet in deep peril — a prospect tinged with grief, anger and depression. Ware realized she had a case of "climate grief” — and needed help.

If nothing else, Kamala Harris knows her base. Kamala Harris is set to make a guest appearance Friday on the Paramount+ series RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. The segment was taped before Joe Biden announced Sunday that he is quitting his re-election campaign.

Christian nationalists aim to impose their beliefs on others.Whenever a politician cites “Judeo-Christian values,” I find it’s generally followed by something unsettling.Last month brought two flagrant instances. In both cases, Republican officials introduced state laws that formalize precepts of the Christian nationalist movement — in the words of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers (A.D. 2019), “doing everything we can to restore the Judeo-Christian foundation of our nation.”On June 19, Gov. Jeff Landry of Louisiana signed legislation requiring public classrooms to display the Ten Commandments, a practice struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1980. A rich endorsement...

Melania Trump spent her four years in the White House in an epic internal battle with her step-daughter Ivanka, met repeatedly with her lawyers about her pre and post-nups, and used her clothing - including that jacket - to speak for her. The Slovenian-born first lady spent her time in the role 'bucking expectations,' notes Katie Rogers in her forthcoming book 'American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden.' She was rarely seen in public, gave few interviews and even her signature initiative 'Be Best' left people wondering exactly what it meant (and...

White Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen was incensed that Super Bowl fans did not stand in respect for what he called the “Negro National Anthem” during Sunday night’s big game. As it has for the last several championship games, the NFL opened the Super Bowl with the song “Life Every Voice and Sing,” which many agitators have proclaimed to be “the black national anthem.” Of course, it isn’t a “national anthem” at all, but regardless, Congressman Cohen was not happy that the video of fans in the stands showed that not many were standing as R&B singer Andra Day performed...

Carlos Santana delivered a speech laced with anti-transgender remarks during a recent performance in Atlantic City, New Jersey, telling the audience, “A woman is a woman, and a man is a man.”

Thibault left the agency on Friday – exactly one month after Senator Grassley outed him for his pattern of public partisanship and anti-Trump social media posts. On Tuesday, Thibault’s attorneys released a statement on their client and his career — they basically deny EVERYTHING!

Boston Children’s Hospital is facing backlash over a video they created that appears to be promoting “gender affirming hysterectomies” for “transgender” children. The video, featuring Dr. Frances Grimstad, an obstetrician-gynecologist, went viral after being posted by the popular Libs of TikTok Twitter account.

CNN's morning analogy: Republicans are pigs. CNN's New Day devoted its opening segment Thursday morning to worrying that Republicans will attempt to politicize 1/6 hearings and turn them into a spectacle. Unlike those Democrats, who as we know, never politicize hearings! And CNN sympathized with the Democrats' decision to hold many of the hearings behind closed doors. Co-host John Berman invited on ex-Republican Joe Walsh, introduced as a former "presidential candidate." Who remembers? Walsh made a fleeting appearance in the 2020 Republican race, dropping out posting a paltry 1% in the Iowa caucuses. Walsh is the ultimate political chameleon, changing...

Of all ways to try to make his point, Scarborough foolishly chose to demean the importance of . . . taco stands?! He also worked in a transparent swipe at Fox News, engaging in a condescending attempt to school what he referred to as "idiots" and a "jackass" at "other cable-news channels." "I know there are idiots on other cable news channels that will say, well, this mom-and-pop store was vandalized during the summer riots, and that's just as bad as the United States Capitol being vandalized. No. No, actually, no. No, jackass, it's not. The Capitol of the United...

Joe Scarborough has made himself the ass in assassination. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough was discussing the decisive 145-61 vote of the House Republican caucus to keep Liz Cheney in her leadership position, despite her vote to impeach President Trump and her very strong criticism of him regarding the events of January 6th. The squalid Scarborough thought it was funny to joke that Republicans only voted that way because Cheney might have had them killed if they voted against her. Said Scarborough: "They just didn't have the nerve. I mean, they saw what happened to Osama Bin Laden when you...

Look for Joe "Macho Man" Scarborough in an upcoming WrestleMania! On today's Morning Joe, Macho Man Joe boasted that "if a couple idiots chase me through the airport, it’s not going to be my problem. It’s going to be theirs." Tough talk! Scarborough was contrasting himself with Lindsey Graham, who according to Scarborough changed his position and came out against impeaching President Trump after Trump supporters confronted him at an airport. Scarborough called Graham a "very weak man." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Why the hell, indeed!? And stop being the toast of the Upper West Side and the Hamptons? Imperil domestic tranquility with Democrat wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski? Maybe even get "canceled" by a liberal establishment baying for Republican political blood? Former GOP congressman Joe Scarborough formally quit the Republican party in 2017, two months after President Trump took office. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough said he's often asked if he will now become a Republican again. Responded Scarborough, "why the hell" would I?Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

"Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth" -- Proverbs 24:17 Either the Morning Joe crew didn't review their King James Version before today's show, or chose to ignore its teachings. Because the opening segment was a shabby exercise in reveling while imagining President Trump's pain over his impending impeachment. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.
