Big Money Abandons Blue States, by Douglas Andrews
By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – Jamie Dimon told a funny joke last November … Dimon, who grew up in New York City, was speaking at the American Business Forum in Miami, and he was asked a question about the “historic relocation of both people and capital to Florida and to South Florida”… “It’s a competitive world. It’s competitive between countries. It’s competitive between cities. It’s competitive between states. And you’re mentioning a bunch of these states that are driving business out, and it will backfire. And so, people vote with their feet … because they see a better life for them and their family.”
Saying “Yes” to Satan, by Sean Fitzpatrick
By Sean Fitzpatrick, Crisis Magazine – The world, now being unveiled, stands or falls on the faith and fortitude of Catholics willing to follow Christ as the persecution intensifies… These are days of disturbing disclosure, when the mask is being plucked from the overlords of politics, economics, and entertainment.

Five Quick Things: How’s the Iran War Actually Going? by Scott McKay
By Scott McKay, The American Spectator – It is being run by professionals, which is more than you can say about the Senate… I’m as disgusted as our readers with the Republicans in the Senate, who — with some merciful exceptions — are as gray and drab a collection of political losers as America has ever produced. As I wrote yesterday, the utter debacle that is the SAVE America Act standstill in that body is proof that, as much as we’d like to think the GOP has finally moved past its well-deserved reputation as the Stupid Party in Washington, it hasn’t.

The Cross as a Universal Symbol of Christianity, by Kenneth Joe Galloway
By Kenneth Joe Galloway, Catholic Exchange – The Cross’s Visual Simplicity and Symbolic Depth… To better understand how the cross embodies visual simplicity and symbolic depth, consider its technical qualities: it has two intersecting lines—a form so simple even a child can draw it, yet so distinct that it is immediately recognizable worldwide. This simple geometry makes it open to symbolic interpretations. The horizontal line evokes the relationships among human beings; the vertical line represents the relationship between God and humanity; ….
