Finding yourself named in a document dump involving the world's largest underaged sex ring, a dead pedophile billionaire, his convicted female accomplice, a disgraced Prince of England, and the conflicting statements of an alleged victim is without compare. When I learned that I was included in the Epstein documents unsealed on Monday, my first response was disbelief. Then again, of course this was going to happen. It was only a matter of time. Much has been written in recent days about the documents concerning Sarah Ransome - who first approached me in 2016 with bombshell claims that she had videotapes...

[Catholic Caucus] What in the WHAT, Bishop Callahan?!?!‘Monsignor GRIDR’ Gets New Parish, Fr. Altman Remains SidelinedJune 12, 2022 from Complicit Clergy by StaffLast July, Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, General Secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the highest-ranking non-bishop Church official in the country, was forced to resign his position because he was routinely using apps like GRINDR that connect men who want to have sex with other men. Burrill, now often times referred to as ‘Monsignor GRIDR,’ is incarnated in the diocese of La Crosse under the authority of Bishop William Callahan.”OK, let’s set aside the fact that...

Doug Kuzma, 61, died on January 3 after he was hospitalized for 10 days after catching the virus. The podcaster attended ReAwaken America in Dallas on the weekend of December 11.

Someone commented that he should have a Covid test, but Kuzma responded "no way." He added: "I'll die...

Monsignor Hundt delivers a message from Bishop Callahan, as well as his own thoughts on the removal of Father James Altman ...

BREAKING: Fr. Altman’s bishop has asked him to resign'What really is at play here, dear family, is that other shepherds are offended because I simply state the fact that they abandoned their sheep in a time of need. If this alleged virus was allegedly a fraction as dangerous as they said it was, it was all the more reason to keep our churches open and get you the sacraments so that you stayed in a state of grace. They put your eternal souls at risk!'Father James Altman, the Wisconsin priest whose video message last fall "You can’t be a Catholic...

Dear Bishop: Fr. Altman deserves your praise, not threats, for telling Catholics they can’t be Democrats  'Tens of thousands of Catholics are anxiously and prayerfully watching this situation. We beg you to withdraw all threats from Fr. Altman.' Editor’s note: The following is an open letter from Mary Ann Kreitzer, President of Catholic Media Coalition, to Bishop William Patrick Callahan, Bishop of La Crosse, Wisconsin, regarding his threat of  “canonical penalties” to Father James Altman after the priest released a video saying “You can’t be a Catholic and a Democrat.” The letter was penned to the Bishop on September 15,...

This has to be the best thing I’ve seen since Newt Gingrich was calling out the liberal media in 2012. Republican Mark Callahan, who is running for US Senate in Oregon, was in a candidate review meeting with other colleagues in order for Willamette Week, a publication in Portland, to decide who they would endorse in the upcoming primary. An opponent of his, Republican Joe Rae Perkins, was on speaker phone. There were others in the room but I’m not sure who they were specifically. The clip starts with Perkins answering a question on speaker phone. While she was answering...

(More below, too) Sources close to the negotiations say a possible new home for radio talkmasters John Dennis and Gerry Callahan is WCRB-FM (99.5), the classical music station that is considering a switch to an all-sports format. Dennis and Callahan, whose contracts expire next month, have had the 6-10 a.m. shift on WEEI-AM (850) until last week, when they were told not to return. Dennis was on vacation last week; Callahan has been out since May while recovering from throat surgery.

Now don’t breathe a word of this. Because nobody’s supposed to know. But rumor in radioland is that struggling rock station WBCN may be trying to woo sports yakkers John Dennis and Gerry Callahan away from WEEI. The broadcast blather has it that parent company CBS may be looking at changing the legendary Boston music station to a sports-talk or the so-called male-talk format. “In Pittsburgh, CBS just switched WRKZ, a rock station, to a male-talk station,” said one industry insider. “So it’s not unheard of.” But others in the know say the station could be pursuing WEEI’s top-rated morning...

As President Bush weighs viable candidates for a second Supreme Court vacancy, Republican allies close to the process agree on one thing: Expect the unexpected selection. Top Republicans say liberals are playing politics by warning that a fierce Senate fight will erupt if the president nominates a conservative to replace the high court's moderate female, and that Mr. Bush won't be pigeonholed by Washington pundits' calls for a woman or a Hispanic. "The idea that he has to move left is a ludicrous, inside-the-Beltway type of thinking, coming from people who want to do him harm," said Gary Bauer, chairman...

This will not be in Bill Clinton's new book --- MY LIES.

Va. House's Fiscal MaestroCallahan Maneuvered GOP Into New Position on Taxes Pithy excerpts: "He holds in equal disdain senators who would, in his view, impose unnecessarily high taxes on Virginians to "go on a spending orgy" and "flat-earth" members of the House GOP caucus who "ask me for money for pet projects and then won't vote for a single tax increase." First elected to the House in 1967, he was drafting budgets before some of his colleagues learned how to multiply and divide." ...

"Connie Callahan will make her decisions based upon the law regardless of controversy or what the public opinion will be," said Morrison England, judge of...

Why Hasn't This Received More Attention?A top official at the Department of Homeland Security is investigated and now placed on leave after questions arise regarding her PhD, which appears to have come from a "diploma mill" rather than a legitimate university. Yet, outside of a few niche publications, Washington Technology, Government Computer News, and Federal Computer Week, that cover the business of selling technology products and services to the government, the story has received scant attention. UPDATE: The Washington Post's Al Kamen did cover the story on June 4, with an item in a round-up of news. Interesting tidbits: Laura...
