By Joy Pullmann, Ex. Editor, The Federalist – Contrary to propaganda messaging, our society is neither ‘overfeminized’ nor ‘pro-woman.’ It is deeply anti-woman… Since the 1960s, cultural leaders in media, Hollywood, academia, and politics have fiercely criticized men for expressing male characteristics, and have fiercely criticized women for expressing female characteristics. This has led some commentators on the right more recently to lambast what they call the “overfeminization” of society.

By NewsMax, Thursday, 10 October 2024 06:22 AM EDT – Hurricane Milton barreled into the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday after plowing across Florida as a Category 3 storm, pounding cities with ferocious winds and rain, whipping up a barrage of tornadoes and causing an unknown numbers of deaths. It compounded the misery wrought by Helene while sparing Tampa a direct hit… The storm tracked to the south in the final hours and made landfall Wednesday night in Siesta Key, about 70 miles (112 kilometers) south of Tampa. The situation in the Tampa area was still a major emergency as St. Petersburg recorded over 16 inches of rain …

By Craig Bannister, MRC TV – Musk made the observation while responding to a post on his social media platform X.com by a person distressed about how many Americans are living in a bubble, a world of misinformation created by leftist media propaganda: “At work I’m drowning in a deep [blue] sea. Everyone I talked to today about Trump & saving America had zero clue about what I was saying. We’re living in two different worlds. I’m in the 𝕏 world of truth, they’re in the misinformation land of The View, even the intellectuals believe the lies.”

By Peter Pinedo, National Catholic Register – The USCCB is one of 10 “national resettlement agencies” that partner with USRAP to take in and assist these refugees… The bishops said that dioceses and local Catholic Charities agencies “play an essential role in helping refugees to integrate successfully into their new communities.”.. Bishop Mark Seitz, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Migration Committee, applauded Catholic organizations’ contributions to the refugee resettlement program, saying that “from lifesaving protection for refugee families to the economic renewal they offer receiving communities, this is part of what it means to ‘love thy neighbor.’”

By Peter Pinedo, CNA – According to the Pew Research Center, there will be 36.2 million eligible Hispanic voters this year, up almost 4 million from 2020… As a record number of Hispanic Americans will be eligible to vote this November, many are asking what impact Latinos — and Latino Catholics in particular — will have on the 2024 election… “We are big on family, family values … We want to be welcoming and be very attentive to the needs of others,” said Lia Garcia, one of the panelists and the director of Hispanic ministry at the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

By Michael Pakaluk, The Catholic Thing – … books have a place, just as the Bible has always had a place, because of the closeness of reading to prayer. Reading can foster interior life, watching videos cannot. Moreover, reading provokes deliberation and considered judgment, while videos incite to distraction. Reading is undeniably rich soil for receiving the seed: videos are shallow soil at best, usually mere rocks by the side of the path, birds hovering nearby… So then, here’s the new problem: What spiritual books do you recommend for a young person who has not read spiritual books, and maybe not even read any books at all?

By Bradley Devlin, The Daily Signal – On this week’s episode of “The Signal Sitdown,” I speak to Sen. Rick Scott of Florida about his bid to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky as leader of Senate Republicans and how the Nov. 5 election will shape the next Congress… Scott suggests McConnell has become tyrannical as Senate minority leader, as has Chuck Schumer of New York as Senate majority leader… “What we have here is we have dictatorships,” Scott tells me. “We have the McConnell dictatorship and the Schumer dictatorship. … Schumer tells Democrats how to vote, McConnell comes in and tells Republicans how to vote.”

By Eric Sammons, Crisis Magazine – I think the current apocalyptic events are a wake-up call to prayer… Of course there are many ways to pray and many good devotions. One, however, in my mind stands above them all: the Rosary. Many Marian apparitions in the past century and a half have urged us to pray the Rosary daily, and I would argue that the Rosary is the devotion that heaven itself wants us to prioritize in our day and age… My friend Joshua Charles, host of the Eternal Christendom podcast, apparently agrees. He just began The Great Rosary Campaign, which is “a yearlong Rosary campaign for the conversion of cultural leaders ….

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – 32 million self-identified Christians who regularly attend a church might sit out the 2024 presidential election, an Arizona Christian University survey found… With just one month to go until a presidential election with major ramifications for life, gender issues, and religious freedom, a new survey projects that a decisive share of religious Americans will not turn out to vote, which, if true, could be disastrous for former President and current Republican nominee Donald Trump’s hopes of returning to the White House.

By Franciscan Media – Today’s saint grew up in an important family in 16th-century Spain, serving in the imperial court and quickly advancing in his career. But a series of events—including the death of his beloved wife—made Francis Borgia rethink his priorities. He gave up public life, gave away his possessions, and joined the new and little-known Society of Jesus.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – … the billion-dollar abortion chain receives more than $500 million tax dollars annually… Pres. Donald Trump and his administration have been working to block that funding, beginning his first week in office. Some efforts have been successful, while others have been thwarted by the abortion industry and activist judges. But no one can accuse the Trump administrating of doing nothing to stop Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars from supporting the largest abortion chain in America.

By Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV, Catholic Exchange – Firstly, there are only two camps in this world: the camp of those who truly belong to Jesus and the camp of those who do not belong to Him but reject Him, His love, grace, truth, and way of life. These two camps are forever opposed to each other and there is no area of agreement between them, “For whoever is not against us is for us.” There is no other option in this world apart from these two, and all must make a choice between them. We cannot be neutral, and we cannot belong to both at the same time: “No one can serve two masters” (Mt 6:24).

By Dr. Donald DeMarco, Catholic Exchange – Humility, on the one hand, should be the easiest of all the virtues to achieve. After all, we did not create ourselves, and we owe a debt of gratitude that we can never pay to our parents and all those who have contributed to our life… as a matter of fact, humility is the most difficult of all the virtues to acquire. Why is there such disparity between realism and fantasy? We are mortal, finite, defectible, and prone to extreme foolishness. That is nothing to be proud of. Yet pride takes hold of us and expresses itself in the three ugly daughters of ambition, boastfulness, and ostentation. We look at our existence through rose-colored glasses. We are truly odd creatures.

By Kate Scanlon, OSV News – The Georgia Supreme Court temporarily reinstated Oct. 7 the state’s six-week abortion ban while it reviews an appeal of a previous lower court ruling that had struck down the law… Georgia’s so-called “heartbeat law” on abortion, which prohibits most abortions after six weeks, went into effect after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. It has been the subject of litigation after opponents filed suit shortly after its passage. …
