Saint of the Day for February 11: Our Lady of Lourdes

Franciscan Media - On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in the apostolic constitution Ineffabilis Deus.

How DOGE Is Doing It, by Thomas Gallatin

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post - Donald Trump unleashed a revolution in Washington that it had never seen before... For decades, Republican politicians have campaigned to go to Washington and tackle its wasteful spending. Yet, term after term, nothing seemed to change.
