It was easily one of the notable moments of President Joe Biden's Thursday press conference in which he angrily denounced Special Counsel Robert Hur for highlighting his memory loss several times in his report. Yet Politico neglected to mention how Biden seemingly failed to recall the name of the church he got the rosary from to memorialize his deceased son Beau. Here's that highly embarrassing moment for Biden that shocked viewers yet Politico disingenuously left out of their reports of the press conference.

Here is the entire memo... POTUS & POLITICAL WARFARE   May 2017   BACKGROUND.  The Trump administration is suffering under withering information campaigns designed to first undermine, then de legitimize and ultimately remove the President. Possibly confusing these attacks with an elevated interplay of otherwise normal D.C. partisan infighting and adversarial media relations, the White House response to these campaigns reflects a political advocacy mindset that it is intensely reactive, severely under-inclusive and dangerously inadequate to the threat. If action is not taken to re-scope and respond to these hostile campaigns very soon, the administration risks implosion and subsequent early...

Lately i have been getting up early in the morning for a long walk (45 minutes to an hour) and spending the beginning part of the walk in devotional, formal prayers. Among the prayers is the recitation of the Rosary: in which one reads/meditates upon different episodes in the lives of Jesus, Mary, and the Apostles. A couple of weeks back, I was praying the Sorrowful Mysteries, in which one meditates upon the Passion -- the Agony in the Garden and the betrayal by Judas, the trial before the Sanhedrin, the trial, scourging and condemnation under Pontius Pilate, the carrying...

In this video we discuss why all Christians should pray the Rosary.

[Catholic Caucus] Brazil, Pray the Rosary“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” ~George SantayanaBrazilians are convulsing over the fraudulent election of Luis Inacio Lula da Silva “Lula”, the radical Communist convicted felon, who narrowly defeated the moderate, President Jair Bolsonaro. Cries of election fraud dominate the massive street protests.This isn’t the first time when Brazil faced the scourge of a tyrannical Communist takeover. In 1966, Brazilians faced a similar Marxist government that posed a radical political and social transformation of South America’s largest country. With nowhere to turn, the largely Catholic country turned to the Blessed...

On August 14, The Atlantic published a blasphemous article by Daniel Panneton titled, “How Extremist Gun Culture Is Trying to Co-Opt the Rosary.” In it, he tries to portray the sacramental, first promoted by Saint Dominic, as an extremist far-right symbol that poses a violent threat to society. Here are some of the things the author said in his article: * Attacking those who faithfully recite the Rosary in reparation for sin, he stated that “armed radical traditionalists have taken up a spiritual notion that the rosary can be a weapon in the fight against evil and turned it into...

De Mattei: Lepanto: October 7th 1571-2020: The Opening of the Jubilee Year Heaven and Earth are not as distant as we might think, since everything that happens on Earth is in the continuous sight of Heaven. In Heaven, which is the place of perfect divine liturgy, some anniversaries are commemorated and among them is the 7th October 1571, a special day, celebrating the victory of the Christian fleet against Islam at Lepanto.  That victory was a result of the courage of the Christian combatants who braved a ferocious and powerful enemy with the firm determination to win or die.  Many died,...

The Victory of Lepanto and the Most Holy Rosary by Rev. J.A. Rooney, O.P., 1892 Let us listen to the Angels of the Rosary. What do they say to us? “Take into your hands on this singular feast the joy-inspiring harp of the Rosary; play upon this harp to your Mother a new canticle; extol her power on earth and in Heaven, and repeat again and again the wonders of your loving helper (Responsory of the First lesson of the Rosary Office).” But why are the Angels of the Rosary so eager that we should play on the harp of...

Dear friends, Perhaps there is a real possibility that the elite of the world, on their way toward their World Dictatorship, will succeed in causing the second Civil War in America after the elections in November 2020. Also there is a real possibility that the president will be assassinated. We have given this power to the forces of evil because today there is less prayer and more sin than ever before!

A "man in the pew" is calling all Catholics to do a big thing before Election Day. In an interview with Church Militant, layman Robert Sass urged the faithful to pick up their Rosaries with the goal of saying 100,000 Rosaries by Nov. 3 for the good of the country. According to Sass' calculation, this means a little over 1,100 people must pray one Rosary each day to reach the goal. He said he got the idea in the middle of praying the Rosary himself and instead of dismissing it, he said, "yes," thereby paving the way for the Pray...

After President Trump claimed Joe Biden was “against God” during a speech to his supporters yesterday, the media pounced. Over and over again journalists on the big three networks and cable news insisted Biden was a “devout Catholic.”This is the same media who feigned righteous anger at Trump standing in front of a church, yet demand you chuck the Bible out the window when it comes to Democrats’ antithetical beliefs on abortion and marriage. Thursday night, self-proclaimed Catholic host Chris Cuomo opened his show by bashing Trump as a fake Christian before going on to defend Biden’s religiosity, with former...
