Deranged Minneapolis gunman Robin Westman blamed his mother for his decision to kill “so many people” at a Catholic school after she warned him that he would regret transitioning to female — while in the next line discouraging people from letting their kids transition.In his disturbed manifesto, Westman, 23, claimed to be anxious about a visit from his mother in an entry dated July 1, where he recalled her concerns about him transitioning. “Your words, mother, made me stay in my discomfort unable to ask for help to avoid admitting defeat. You were right mama, but the way you handled...

[Catholic Caucus] New Members of Congregation for Clergy - Destructive Course ContinuesPope Leo XIV appointed today many members of the Congregation for the Clergy. Most of them are "liberals" of the Francis’ fraction.Cardinals include Luis Antonio Tagle (Evangelisation), Arthur Roche (Liturgy), Mario Grech (Synod), José Tolentino de Mendonça (Education) and Jean-Marc Aveline (Marseille).As a fig leaf to fool the conservatives, Leo XIV appointed the Catholic Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway.This personnel policy - many liberals and a few fig leaf Catholics - ongoing for decades, has pushed the Church toward ruin.

Denver Parishioners Worry About 'Psychological Safety' Because Their Priest Is Actually CatholicThis writer spent a lot of time writing about the late Pope Francis and his attacks on Catholic traditionalists and the suppression of the Latin Mass. It was -- and remains -- a gross injustice in the Catholic Church, especially because the attacks on the Latin Mass were based on lies.... The push by some to make the Catholic Church 'modern' and 'relevant' to the current culture has turned some parishes into bastions of what this writer calls 'morally therapeutic deism' as opposed to, you know, Catholic Churches.What does...

The first Cracker Barrel opened in 1969 in Lebanon, Tennessee, complete with gas pumps, a concept founder Dan W. Evins hoped would help expand his family's oil business and better serve tourists who were traveling down the interstates and highways. Eventually, all the gas pumps were phased out and the restaurant focused on what it had become known for: down-home country cooking with a southern flair. And it's been a success ever since. Fans are very passionate about Cracker Barrel. They've won the "Best Family Dining" restaurant award time and again, and people make comments on Yelp like, "Great home...

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a term used to discuss people who dislike Donald Trump so intensely that they are willing to abandon all logic and reason that goes against this criticism. It is a term used by Trump himself and other Republicans to negatively describe those who are against his politics in America, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and other Democrats formerly in office. The term Trump Derangement Syndrome has been used to describe individuals who oppose Trump and larger organizations that speak against him, such as The Washington Post. It is a particularly polarizing topic today...

While babies are undeniably cute, they aren't too bright. Yet, despite being unable to talk or poo on a potty, babies are still significantly smarter than today's liberals. Here are ten ways babies are outpacing the libs: They instinctively know only mommy has breasts: First point goes to the babies. They firmly refused to wear government-mandated face masks: Babies follow the science. Babies know that a grown man falling up the stairs of Air Force One is really funny and want to see it again and again: Adorable and smart. They do not eat kale: Only dumb libs eat...

George Soros has just turned 95 years old and Glenn has a birthday message for him! What a shame that after nearly a century of trying to destroy the West, Spooky Dude now gets to watch as his son brings his own empire to its knees…It couldn’t have happened to nicer people.

The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan discusses the Western left’s “obsession” with Israel and the Middle East. “Cowards like Albanese can jump on the anti-Israel bandwagon because Netanyahu has made Israel so unpopular,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia. “Australia has absolutely zero influence in the Middle East, none at all. “We have a much more obsessive discussion about the Middle East than we have about the South China Sea, or the Philippines or anything like that, because the obsession of the Western left with Israel is a part of its obsession with identity politics.”

Every statement a liberal makes comes under at least one of these three rules, the Liberal Rules of Truth: 1. Truth is whatever serve the party. 2. If you repeat something enough, that makes it true. 3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.

A Democrat took aim at Republicans and Fox News in an interview with Fox host Jesse Watters, arguing that his network’s own polling numbers showed that people are unhappy with Trump’s presidency. In a Monday evening appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, White Dudes for Harris founder Mike Nellis was asked if he still supported former Vice President Kamala Harris. Nellis replied, “Listen, I prefer Kamala Harris for president right now, and honestly, I think a lot of Americans agree with me.”

Sydney Sweeney has continued to face backlash over her controversial American Eagle ad. The actress was most recently heckled by a female while attending the premiere of her film "Americana," according to reports Sydney Sweeney has remained silent in the face of the controversy, although the company broke its silence in an official statement last Friday Sweeney's red carpet moment was unexpectedly disrupted when backlash over her recent American Eagle campaign followed her to the premiere of her latest film. On Sunday night, the actress made an appearance at the premiere of her crime thriller, "Americana," in which she stars...

Human relationships are so easy, why shouldn’t the words for them be just as simple? English has words for numerous family relationships but, unfortunately for us, most of them are gendered. To solve this, we created a list of gender-neutral relationship terms (words and phrases) covering all major cases and based on Universal English. Some of these gender-neutral family terms will sound awesome, some won’t resonate at all but, as always, we’re open to suggestions. If you have better ideas, let me know. Gender-Neutral Relationship Words To a greater extent than other lists, I’ve included many suggested neutral (plain text)...

Let’s cut the nonsense: liberal women aren’t mad at Sydney Sweeney because she’s "setting women back." That’s just the excuse they’re throwing around because they don’t want to admit the truth. They’re mad because she’s young, hot, White, and blonde. And they're mad that corporations are finally waking up to the truth: that the American people are done with woke! If she were 300 pounds and identified as gender-fluid, she’d be hailed as a revolutionary. If she threw her pronouns into every interview, wore a "FEMINIST" crop top to the red carpet, and spouted progressive talking points on cue, they’d...

The campaign has been linked to Eugenics and Nazi ideology Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to controversial ads. In recent history, she has sold us her bathwater and in 2024, skincare lovers expressed discomfort about her advertisement with a skincare brand, in which the words “bouncy and firm” were plastered across her chest rather than, y’know, near her face. Now, she’s back in hot water with the campaign for American Eagle that has been called out as a “conservative dog whistle” and with headlines on Newsweek like “Sydney Sweeney Fronts Ad Campaign for Jeans – Sparks Debate About Eugenics.” The...

Preface. This is my book review of Chris Mooney’s 2012 “The Republican Brain. The Science of Why They Deny Science—and Reality”. This has grown from a review of this book (far below) to more recent science and writing on the conservative mind. People who want certainty and do not like change or changing their mind have been with us since humans evolved. That is discussed in another post: Garcia, H. 2019. Sex, Power, and Partisanship. How evolutionary science makes sense of our political divide. Lately with all the division and even talk of civil war, there have been many broadcasts...

Andrea Gibson, a celebrated poet and performance artist who through their verse explored gender identity, politics and their 4-year battle with terminal ovarian cancer, died Monday at age 49. Gibson’s death was announced on social media by their wife, Megan Falley. Gibson and Falley are the main subjects of the documentary “Come See Me in the Good Light,” winner of the Festival Favorite Award this year at the Sundance Film Festival and scheduled to air this fall on Apple TV+.

The City of Los Angeles has declared itself to be in a state of rebellion against federal law. See Mayor Karen Bass’s executive directive, which officially aligns the city on the side of lawbreakers–in many cases, violent lawbreakers–and against the rule of law.Violence against federal law enforcement officers has gotten out of hand. Most recently, in executing a raid on a marijuana farm in California, federal agents were attacked by a mob of 500 rioters and fired upon. They made 200 arrests and rescued ten children who were being exploited as laborers.Outraged at escalating violence against law enforcement, President Trump...

#ArmyOfParents #IStandWithRiley @ArmyOfParents. Who in Northern Virginia has children at @NysmithSchool for the gifted? If you do, you need to demand the resignation of the headmaster or pull your children out immediately. The rapid rise of antisemitism has emboldened antisemites, who are singing the praises of Hitler and targeting Jewish students. This is not only disgusting, but a blatant violation of civil rights. @JasonMiyaresVA MUST address this immediately and @GovernorVA MUST condemn the actions of Nysmith School. @EndAntisemetism @StandWithUs @JCRCgw @Yael4Hanover @KatzForChair @WMALDC @JulieGunlock @LarryOConnor @ChrisPlanteShow @marklevinshow @wapo @dcexaminer Quote: Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 @MarinaMedvin · Jul 1.

VIDEOOMG! A small puddle has formed inside a tent at Alligator Alcatraz during a rainstorm! Instead of just sweeping a mop across it a few times, let us turn that puddle into a FLOOD of epic proportions in order to pathetically try to discredit Alligator Alcatraz!If you hear liberals decrying a supposed "flood" at Alligator Alcatraz, keep in mind they are referring to a single minor puddle. In fact the images of the "flood" they present as evidence is always the same small puddle. What does that tell you? It tells you the Left is DESPERATE to discredit Alligator Alcatraz...

VIDEOHave you ever heard of concentration camps that provide air conditioning and serve up three square meals per day while NOT forcing the inmates to work? No? Then you will laugh at the Drama Queen hysteria of these liberals having meltdowns over Alligator Alcatraz while screaming DISINFORMATION such as that the back doors of cargo planes full of illegals are being opened over the ocean where they are unloaded. Or that that the Alligator Alcatraz incinerators are for disposing inmates, not trash. The source for this? Strictly feelings NOT facts. Will the media correct all the DISINFORMATION being spewed about...
