PEORIA, Illinois, December 6, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) -- As controversy continues to swirl over the Vatican’s decision to postpone the beatification of the Venerable Fulton Sheen, archival video has surfaced showing the famed televangelist condemning “false compassion” for drug addiction, crime, and homosexuality, among other social ills.

A DOJ source told Newsmax that Democrats have long pressed for "common sense" gun control, adding: "This seems pretty common sense to me." According to the...

The politicization of science has spiraled completely out of control. From climate alarmism to gender ideology, there’s no shortage of reasons to question the so-called “experts.” That reality was on full display this week on CNN’s Newsnight. Host Abby Phillip played a clip of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussing the poor state of children’s health today — a moment the leftist panelists gleefully mocked. But the real fireworks came when Republican strategist Scott Jennings, badly outnumbered, cut through the noise. Things turned explosive the moment he stated the obvious: any scientist who claims men can...

The debate is not just about the power of prayer. In the United States — with both a large religious population and the most mass shootings in the world — it’s also a polarized debate about gun control. In other words, the episode set off rhetorical skirmishes along two of the biggest dividing lines in America’s cultural and political wars: God and guns. (That doesn’t even count the scrutiny over the motives and gender identity of the shooter, who died by suicide after the attack.) Frey tapped into the principle of “Tikkun Olam,” in his Jewish faith, which speaks about...

The BBC has defended its use of female pronouns to describe a transgender killer who stabbed their partner to death with a samurai sword. Joanna Rowland-Stuart, who was born male and was known as John Stuart, attacked Andrew Rowland-Stuart at their Brighton home in 2024... A number of people contacted the BBC to complain. One wrote: “Using female pronouns to refer to a man is not accurate.” Another said: “The suspect is a man. When the public see the words ‘wife’ and ‘woman’ they will assume you mean an adult human female.” However, the BBC rejected the complaints. Some complainants...
