Ukrainians Are the Victims of a Two-Front War, Besieged by Brutal Russians and the Depraved Deep State, by John Zmirak

By John Zmirak, The Stream - Now what does a Ukraine flag waved by an American or a European signify?... The same thing a “Black Lives Matter” banner did in 2020, when a posh suburbanite in a safely gated neighborhood hoisted it over his topiary. It’s now a fashionable accessary, a virtue signal and status symbol, and in fact a post-Christian religious fetish... Ukraine’s history is one of missed opportunities and tragic consequences — a rich land trapped between hungry neighbors, with no natural defenses: just wide-open lands that foreign armies could roll over and conquer.

The activist judge in the Washington, D.C., federal court worked overtime this weekend overreaching his power in a failed attempt to stop Trump from deporting alleged members of Tren de Aragua, which is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization... Over the weekend, the Department of Homeland Security deported 238 alleged members of De Aragua.

Saint of the Day for March 18: St. Cyril of Jerusalem

Franciscan Media - The crises that the Church faces today may seem minor when compared with the threat posed by the Arian heresy, which denied the divinity of Christ and almost overcame Christianity in the fourth century. Cyril was to be caught up in the controversy, accused of Arianism by Saint Jerome, and ultimately vindicated both by the men of his own time and by being declared a Doctor of the Church in 1822.
