Patriot Post – “Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust must be men of unexceptionable characters.” —Samuel Adams (1775)

By Jim Hᴏft, Gateway Pundit – Three progressive American Cardinals, Blase Cupich…Robert McElroy… and Joseph Tobin… crashed CBS’s failing Sunday night propaganda hour “60 Minutes” to publicly flog President Donald Trump for daring to criticize the newly elected Pope Leo XIV… This was a coordinated election-year hit job designed to fracture President Trump’s exploding Catholic voter base just months before the critical 2026 midterms… Pope Leo XIV has already waded into U.S. politics by slamming President Trump’s decisive military action against Iran and his record-setting mass deportation operation that is finally securing our southern border.

By Scott Yenor, American Greatness – The Senate’s failure to pass the SAVE America Act highlights a deeper divide over election rules, while Congress retains constitutional authority to oversee federal election integrity. … The failure of the United States Senate to pass the SAVE America Act is as regrettable as it is predictable. Noncitizen voting is already a federal crime in America. SAVE would have required voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote. States would have to purge noncitizens from voting rolls, too.

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word –  John 3:7-15 – 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, `You must be born anew.’ 8 The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit.” 9 Nicodemus said to him, “How can this be?”10 Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. …

By Paul Kengor, Crisis Magazine – This escalating battle between the American president and American pope is prompting many conservative Catholics to choose a side… It was only a matter of time before President Donald J. Trump exploded at Pope Leo XIV… Unfortunately, Trump seems to eventually explode at most people critical of him or his policies. It’s a lamentable character trait. You may have noticed that since Trump entered the political scene in 2015, not many of his advisers have lasted. They tend to run afoul of him and invoke his wrath. …

By Carole Novielli, Live Action News – A U.S. District Court sided with the FDA by issuing a “motion to stay” an abortion pill lawsuit filed by the State of Louisiana while the FDA completes a safety review of the drug, but said the state is likely to succeed in its lawsuit… The Court also denied “without prejudice” a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the drug’s manufacturers, Danco and GenBioPro, while the FDA conducts a safety review of the abortion pill… The ruling surprisingly affirmed that the State of Louisiana not only has standing to sue ….

By Alexandra Bedner, LifeNews – Led by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, 78 pro-life groups sent a letter to acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche urging the Department of Justice to stop siding with the abortion drug industry against pro-life states… Louisiana, Florida and Texas, and Missouri, Idaho and Kansas sued the FDA in three separate cases to protect their citizens from the harms of abortion drugs and to stop policies that undermine their state laws, and the DOJ previously moved to dismiss all three cases. …

By T. S. Flanders, OnePeterFive – As you may know, President Donald Trump posted a blasphemous image of himself as Our Lord Jesus Christ. However, he (or someone from his staff, or a robot), strangely changed the original to include some kind of libertas goddess (“horned figure”?), wearing the divinising sun crown (Libertas is the goddess that is the Statue of Liberty)… One of my friends suggested to me that men of God should organise a Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus in reparation for this outrage against Our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

By Catholic Culture – Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter: Enable us, we pray, almighty God, to proclaim the power of the risen Lord, that we, who have received the pledge of his gift may come to possess all he gives when it is fully revealed. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – 2026 is shaping up to be an important year in the fight over the rights of the preborn in the United States. In the past week, three significant stories related to abortion have captured my attention… The first story is encouraging: eight Planned Parenthood facilities have closed so far in 2026, continuing a four-year trend of declining abortion clinic numbers across the United States.
