Trump Economy Works for Everyone Except Corrupt Catholic Bishops, by Ryan Ellis

By Ryan Ellis, Washington Examiner - It seems the U.S. bishops are the only people in America who aren’t benefiting from the booming Trump economy. Gallup has released a series of poll findings this week which indicate people are feeling pretty good about the country and their own financial affairs. About 61% of people think they are better off than when President Trump was elected three years ago… About 69% expect their financial situation to improve over the next year… Consumer confidence is reported at levels not seen in several decades.

Addressing the Migrant Phenomenon, by Chad Groening

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow - "There is tremendous poverty in Brazil, as there is throughout Latin America; there is rampant crime, but those are not grounds for political asylum in the United States," Mehlman asserts. "Political asylum is reserved for people who are being singled out for persecution by their governments based on a series of considerations such as race, religion, [or] political beliefs.

Virginia Passes Bill to Give Electoral Votes to Popular Vote Winner, by Nate Church

By Nate Church, Breitbart - House Bill 177 passed with a 51-46 vote in the Democrat-majority House after being handed off by the Privileges and Elections Committee last week. Should the Senate also approve, Virginia will officially become part of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact… “Under the compact, Virginia agrees to award its electoral votes to the presidential ticket that receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia,” a bill summary states… So far, 15 states, along with Washington D.C., have joined. The idea gained momentum as an answer to President Donald Trump’s electoral college victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016, despite her approximately three million popular vote lead.

Fr. Benedict Kiely: With Burning Concern

By Fr. Benedict Kiely, Crisis Magazine - Recently the nonagenarian environmentalist, Sir David Attenborough, familiar to viewers of BBC America over many years for his nature shows, warned in bloodcurdling terms that it was almost too late to save the world from the horrors of the “climate crisis.” I remember as a child watching similar warnings during the early 1970s, of the perils the world would face by the millennium.
