Cdl. Müller: Biden administration leads campaign ‘to de-Christianize Western culture’‘I cannot support a pro-abortion politician because he builds social housing,’ Müller said in an interview with German media.January 26, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Gerhard Müller has warned that the United States government under President Joe Biden, “with its concentrated political, media and economic power, is at the forefront of the most subtly brutal campaign in the last 100 years to de-Christianize Western culture.”In an interview with German-speaking Catholic news website kath.net released earlier today, Müller said there are “good...

There's one name you won't see in any of the stories about Pfleger. It starts with an "O" and ends with an "A". It's funny because those names used to be associated quite a bit. When I broke the Pfleger story back in the day, I called him the white Jeremiah Wright. It was a fitting description because the two men were linked by their ties to Farrakhan and their racist bluster. Obama was forced to cut ties with both Wright and Pfleger. Even though Pfleger used to be Obama's "moral compass". Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael...

Death threats against lawmakers have been surging since the election, but a key House Republican and ally of former President Donald Trump said that the FBI is “more interested” in checking those against Democrats. “We're averaging several threats per day,” said Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. In a media call to discuss his upcoming trip to Wyoming to campaign against House GOP leader Rep. Liz Cheney, who voted to impeach Trump, Gaetz said that there has been a “substantial increase of death threats” against members. Gaetz decried any violence but suggested that the FBI has favored investigating threats against Democrats over...

After the 1967 summer of riots, journalists, politicians, and sociologists spent many words and dollars trying to find and cure the “root cause” of the racial unrest. They failed, but eventually a solution did emerge. The root cause of riots turned out to be rioters. Peace returned to the streets once police adopted new crowd-control tactics and prosecutors cracked down on lawbreakers. Mob violence came to be recognized not as an indictment of American society but as a failure of policing. That lesson was forgotten last year, when police were lambasted for trying to control violence at Black Lives Matter...

The effort to demonize dissent doesn't just stop with Republicans. “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” --George Orwell In “woke'' society, West Coast Democrats who attack police and property are underprivileged “protesters,” while Republicans who break the law are poorly-educated domestic terrorists. Violent Antifa = protester... MAGA lawbreaker = terrorist. This corrosive labeling of groups by U.S. media and the ruling class is at the root of the huge division in this country. There was a time in America when people with opposing political views could agree on...

The narratives springing forth about the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6 are becoming more and more inventive. We’ve seen claims that the riot’s participants were full of “white rage,” emboldened by the “addictive power” of white supremacy, and at least one academic blamed white America across the board (“fix your freaking families”) for the “insurrection.” But Tuesday afternoon, an education professor from Middlebury College is taking the rhetorical blame up a notch. In a virtual lecture, Jonathan Miller-Lane will discuss the opportunity to “Facilitate the Demilitarization of White Bodies.”

Trump-supporting MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has become the latest to be banned from Twitter. Lindell, who fervently supported the Stop the Steal campaign over apparent election fraud, was banned by the social media giant for 'spreading misinformation'. His account is now 'permanently suspended'.

For the energy business, the Biden pain has only just begun. – China Joe Potato Head Biden, who has been wrong on every energy-related issue since the Carter Administration’s hilariously failed price control efforts of the 1970s, is taking a lot of head from formerly powerful Democrat constituencies this week over his rash and illogical decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline project’s cross-border permit. VDO.AI Biden’s action was of course taken as a means of payback to the powerful climate change lobby whose funding of Democrat political campaigns rivals that of George Soros these days. Sold as a “climate...

Fun Energy Fact of the Day. – Amy Harder at Axios reported yesterday that “Oil, natural gas and coal accounted for 81% of the world’s energy consumption in 1990. Thirty years later — in 2020 — that figure dropped to 80%, mainly because of the pandemic, according to the International Energy Agency.” Remember also that that unchanged percentage comes after many trillions of dollars have been invested in capital and subsidies for wind and solar development globally. Axios didn’t report this, but it is a reality that, 30 years from now, in 2050, most truly scholarly projections on global energy...

Hours after being sworn in as America's 46th president, Joe Biden reversed Trump's ban on using toxic Critical Race Theory in federal government diversity trainings. Doing so has reopened the floodgates for allowing anti-American identity politics in our public institutions and schools. Corwin Press, an academic publisher that supplies books for K–12 schools, has taken advantage of Biden's new agenda by releasing a series of free teacher resources titled "Responding to Insurrection, Domestic Terrorism, and Threats to Democracy." A quick look at these so-called teacher resources, which are linked at the top of Corwin's webpage, reveals that they are disturbingly...

Creepy Joe cancelled the pipeline because it's ecologically unsound? And Canada is now going to transport their oil via trucks? Think with me here. Trucks use fossil fuels. And they spew pollution into the environment. And that is preferable to transporting oil through a closed system, viz. a pipeline? Liberal lunacy.

While there is yet much to learn about what happened at the Capitol on January 6, some important facts are known beyond a reasonable doubt: 1. Most protesters who entered the Capitol encountered no resistance, and some were directed by police on where to go. 2. Some protesters who led the storming of the Capitol were leftist agitators. 3. The riot was planned, and foreknowledge of this event was reported to the FBI, Capitol police, NYPD, and even the Joint Terrorism Taskforce. This raises the following questions: 1. If the police allowed protesters into the Capitol because they were overwhelmed,...

CHAIRMAN REED TAKES THE GAVEL: Minority Leader Mitch McConnell dropped his demand that Democrats agree to give up their power to change Senate rules to end the filibuster, which now clears the way for committees to be rebalanced to reflect the 50/50 Senate split and for Democrats to take over the chairmanship. That means Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, who has been chairman-in-waiting, on the Armed Services Committee, will take over from Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe, but more importantly, bills that receive a tie vote in committee will proceed to a floor vote, where the vice president can break...

He’s jettisoning this 215-year-old protection for minority rights based upon promises from two Democrat senators. ...Thanks to Kamala’s tie-breaking vote, Sen. Chuck Schumer is the Majority Leader. He’s proposed an equal-power sharing agreement, provided that the Senate ditches the filibuster. Of course, the notion of equal power is a chimera. I did mention Kamala’s tie-breaking vote, right? For a while McConnell held firm, refusing to go along with Schumer’s proposal. But Schumer nagged, whined, and complained. He went on MSNBC and said that McConnell’s stubbornness was making his “entire caucus” mad. For a while, McConnell held strong. But no longer....

Two hundred House Republicans, accounting for nearly the entire caucus, signed on to a pledge to oppose a budget bill that eliminates the Hyde Amendment, the measure that prevents federal funding from being used on abortion services. "We cannot allow the Hyde Amendment and other important pro-life safeguards to be decimated by Congressional Democrats. Accordingly, we pledge to vote against any government funding bill that eliminates or weakens the Hyde Amendment or other current-law, pro-life appropriations provisions," said the letter to House and Senate leadership, released by the Republican Study Committee.Two hundred House Republicans, accounting for nearly the entire caucus,...

Hypocrisy is more common than oxygen in politics. It is the lifeblood of those who strive to hold their opponents up what they not only can’t achieve themselves, but have no interest in holding themselves too either. And “cancel culture” is their weapon of choice. Remember all the talk during the Clinton administration about the “politics of personal destruction”? It was Bill Clinton’s go-to defense against anything – claiming those evil Republicans were simply out to destroy him personally because they hated him. Never mind the facts of the things Bill actually did while in office – perjury over his...

On his first day in office, President Biden rescinded the Trump administration’s executive order prohibiting critical race theory training for federal agencies and federal contractors. This is a sad reversal for Americans committed to colorblindness in public life. But while the president’s order is binding at the federal level, state legislators still have a say in the matter. They should not shrink from resisting this pernicious philosophy. Critical race theory understands the world by viewing everything — society, economics, education, family, science — through the lens of “whiteness” and white racism. White people, according to CRT, drift in a kind...

Keeping schools closed is having a "calamitous" impact on children, some of the UK's top paediatricians have warned as they called for teachers to be prioritised for a vaccine. The group said they were witnessing an "acute and rapid increase in mental health and safeguarding cases", with parents suffering breakdowns and other psychological stress due to home-schooling. Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi insisted it was the government's "absolute priority" to re-open schools. But Labour said people "need certainty" about how low coronavirus rates need to sink for all children to be sent back to the classroom. Over the weekend, Health Secretary...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden, appeared to support the idea of “double-masking,” or wearing two masks at once, during a Monday appearance on TODAY, telling anchor Savannah Guthrie that it “just makes common sense that it would likely be more effective.” “A lot of folks are hearing now about double-masking — wearing two masks or try[ing] to get one of those N95 medical-grade masks. Do you believe that’s advisable and makes a difference?” Guthrie asked the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director. “You know, it likely does because I mean this is a physical...

Now a four-day old video. Still, it shows how Biden (like Obama) doesn't care about American jobs or Americans paying higher gas prices.
