José Mujica, a member of a Marxist rebel group that terrorized Uruguay in the 1960s and 1970s who later became a mainstream politician and one of his country’s most venerated presidents, died May 13 at his home in Rincón de Cerro, in the rural outskirts of Montevideo. He was 89. Uruguayan President Yamandú Orsi, a protégé of the former leader, announced the death. Mr. Mujica said in April 2024 that he had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and that any treatment with chemotherapy and surgery would be complicated by an autoimmune disease he also had. Mr. Mujica, widely known as...

Leftist theologian attacks late pontiffMUNICH (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Marxist philosopher and dissident ex-priest is denigrating the theological legacy of Pope Benedict XVI. On Tuesday, the German magazine Publik-Forum published an article by Brazilian Liberation Theology proponent Leonardo Boff, who shared his Marxist perception of the late Pontiff. Boff declared that Benedict "proved to be the enemy of the friends of the poor." He berated the pope emeritus for focusing too heavily on traditional theology and not enthusiastically embracing Marxist theory. The laicized Brazilian has a long history of conflicts with Pope Benedict XVI, going back decades to when Benedict was...

Pope Francis passed away two days ago, on Easter Monday. He had been the leader of the Catholic Church for just over 12 years. He presented himself as a well-intentioned and deeply religious man, none of which I ever doubted. But good intentions are the paving stones of the road to hell. I often tried to find some positive things about Francis so that I could admire him. But unfortunately I think that his overall impact on the world and on the church was overwhelmingly negative. Thinking that he was working to uplift the poor and downtrodden of the world,...

Pope Francis is seriously worried about his health after being hospitalized with severe bronchitis, and is rushing to tie up loose ends ahead of the battle to succeed him. The pope was admitted to a special ward earlier this month in Gemelli Hospital in Rome with a respiratory infection, and he has since been forced to cancel a number of public appearances. It’s the latest health crisis for the 88-year-old pontiff, who had part of a lung removed as a young man and has become increasingly fragile in recent years. The Holy See press office has trickled out continuous updates,...

Pope Francis was admitted to hospital for bronchitis treatment Friday and has canceled all scheduled events for the next three days, according to the Vatican. “This morning, at the end of the audiences, Pope Francis was admitted to the Policlinico Agostino Gemelli for some necessary diagnostic tests and to continue his treatment for bronchitis," the Vatican said in a statement. Following his hospitalization, the Vatican said the Pope had canceled his scheduled events for the next three days.

An Italian priest has been excommunicated after he said publicly that he believed Pope Francis is an “antipope”. Fr Natale Santonocito, 61, parish priest of San Cesarea Church, south east of Rome, was investigated after posting several online videos in which he says that Francis has never been pope. “The Pope is not the Pope,” he says in one of them. “He never was.” The priest, who was ordained in 2023, has been removed from active ministry in the Diocese of Tivoli and Palestrina and automatically excommunicated. He took to YouTube on Wednesday to issue a valedictory statement. “I have...

TRANSLATION OF STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA. Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I...

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro, a former Marxist guerrilla and a vocal critic of the U.S. foreign policy, has embarrassingly folded to President Donald Trump’s strategic pressure, making a drastic U-turn by sending the presidential plane to collect Colombian deportees previously barred from landing. This move comes after Petro’s initial bravado in blocking two U.S. military deportation flights, a decision that sparked a fiery response from the Trump administration. President Trump, in a characteristic show of force, didn’t just criticize Petro’s actions but retaliated heavily by implementing severe economic and travel sanctions against Colombia. The sanctions included an emergency imposition of...

He was...

ROME — Pope Francis called for a global ceasefire this weekend while again decrying Israel’s “cruelty” in dealing with Palestinians in Gaza. “Let us pray for a ceasefire on all war fronts, in Ukraine, the Holy Land, in all the Middle East and the entire world, at Christmas,” the pontiff said in his weekly Angelus address Sunday. “And with sorrow I think of Gaza, of so much cruelty; of the children machine-gunned, the bombing of schools and hospitals… So much cruelty!”

During an interview on "Fox News Live," Sunday, House Oversight Chairman and member of the GOP, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., threw his support behind committee member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic congresswoman from New York is seeking to take the ranking member from fellow Democrat Jamie Raskin.

Pope Francis has cited the Gospel while calling for migrants to be "welcomed, encouraged and integrated" as Europe and the United States struggle to cater to unprecedented levels of global mass migration. The pontiff, a steadfast advocate for asylum seekers, refugees and economic migrants, said that many migrants are faced with the "drama of forced migration" and make treacherous journeys by sea in search of better lives which can sometimes lead to tragedy. "The migrant must be welcomed, accompanied, encouraged and integrated. This generosity, this industriousness is in harmony with the Gospel, which invites us to do good to everyone,...

CNN contributor and former Obama adviser Van Jones said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that President-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Fox News host Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense is “very alarming.” Jones said, “I think look, he looks great, but he sounds terrible, and I think if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. There’s the fiction that there’s something wrong with America’s military. What problem are you trying to solve? We have the most lethal, respected, the most feared military in the history of the world. There’s not even a number 2. So the idea that our military,...

A progressive commentator has suggested she will take her own life by ingesting cyanide live on air if Donald Trump prevails in tomorrow’s presidential election. Francesca Fiorentini, a left-wing commentator who hosts The Bitchuation podcast, was asked by The Sun’s chief political writer, Harry Cole, how she would react if Trump secures an extraordinary return to the White House. “I’ll drink cyanide on air and podcast into the night,” she remarked before going on to admit that she will keep fighting for the right to abortion.

(Oct. 24, 2024) — On Tuesday a video was uploaded to Rumble by “The Liberty Daily” depicting an apparent computer graphics technician detailing how he found the “long-form” birth certificate image posted by the Obama White House in 2011 to be a forgery, echoing the findings of then-Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joseph Arpaio and his lead investigator on the case, Mike Zullo. Various commenters to the video remarked it was “old news” but nevertheless important even nearly eight years after Zullo’s investigation, begun in August 2011 with Arpaio’s authorization, concluded, reinforcing its original findings that the image posted at whitehouse.gov...

The boss of a Minneapolis food pantry, funded by city taxpayers, has banned white people from taking advantage of the resource. Mykela 'Keiko' Jackson used a Minnesota State grant to launch the Food Trap Project Bodega designed to help poor and hungry residents living close to the Sanctuary Covenant Church in the north of the city. The pantry only opened up on July 27 but within months it has been forced to close and relocate away from church grounds after Jackson attempted to block white people from accessing the service, including a local chaplain who complained.

Beneath Kamala Harris’s performative shifts lies an economic and social philosophy handed down by her father Kamala Harris is a master shapeshifter — whether through codeswitching, pandering or just being phony. One moment she’s rolling up masala dosa with Mindy Kaling on live TV; the next she’s FaceTiming the BET Awards, declaring, “Girl, I’m out here in these streets.” Donald Trump’s bumbling attempts to highlight her cultural inconsistencies briefly shifted the election focus to Harris’s race and ethnicity — and away from far more important qualities. Perhaps it’s because her actual policy ideas have been so scant and vague that...

Democrat vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz’s political journey is rooted in his involvement with a progressive training camp inspired by the radical vision of Paul Wellstone, a professor-turned-politician with close ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and strong influences from Marxist figures and extreme far-left ideologies. Before entering politics, Tim Walz was known as a high school teacher and football coach in Mankato, Minnesota — an outsider who embraced a humble, folksy image. However, his true political foundation began in January 2005 when he attended Camp Wellstone, a training ground for grassroots progressives founded and named in honor of the...
