By Sophie Miller, The True Defender – I know a lot of you are obsessed with x22 Report… I have traditionally not shared many of their videos, but I watched one today that I thought was so good, so brilliant, that I had to share it with you… This is for everyone who thinks it’s over… I told you last night not to expect much today… I told you that Biden would likely be sworn in… But I also told you God wasn’t done yet… I told you it had to get to a point where it was “beyond Trump”… Saving the nation could not come from President Trump… My thesis was that God wants the glory for this himself… Dave from x22 Report had a similar conclusion but he got there in a little different way.

By Cassy Fiano-Chesser, Live Action – In the last days of President Donald Trump’s time in office, he issued a proclamation, declaring January 22, 2021, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day… The date was chosen specifically, in remembrance of the Roe v. Wade decision on January 22, 1973… In his proclamation, Trump called on Congress to protect human life. “Every human life is a gift to the world. Whether born or unborn, young or old, healthy or sick, every person is made in the holy image of God. The Almighty Creator gives unique talents, beautiful dreams, and a great purpose to every person”…

By Steve Jordahl, OneNewsNow – In his inaugural address yesterday, President Joe Biden called on the country to heal its divisions and unite – but some conservatives say his actions and Democrats’ accusations might make that an impossible task… Biden: “To overcome these challenges, to restore the soul and secure the future of America requires so much more than words. It requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy: unity.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Catholic bishop issued a strong statement condemning her pro-abortion stance Thursday, saying the congresswoman is supporting “one of the most heinous evils imaginable.”… Arch. Cordileone of San Francisco responded to Pelosi after she slammed pro-life voters Monday for “being willing to sell the whole democracy down the river for that one issue,” abortion. Pelosi, a pro-abortion Democrat who represents San Francisco in Congress, said their votes caused her “great grief as a Catholic.”

 By Michael Haynes, LifeSiteNews – In comments made to the World Health Organization (WHO) today, Dr. Anthony Fauci announced the Biden regime’s commitment to the promotion of abortion, as well as a new relationship between the United States and the WHO… Fauci has been named as Chief Medical Adviser to Joe Biden, who was sworn in as president yesterday, and became Biden’s de facto spokesman to the WHO at the 148th session of the Executive Board of the organization which is currently taking place. ..

By William Mahoney, Ph.D., Church Militant – The Vatican was unsuccessful in softening the USCCB’s statement that spotlights heretical positions of self-identifying Catholic Joe Biden… Slated for release at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, the statement clarified points of contradiction between perennial Catholic teaching and some of Biden’s policies. Though the Vatican succeeded in delaying the timing, the statement remained intact and has been published on the USCCB website.

By Stephen P. White, The Catholic Thing – For better or worse, Biden’s words and actions as president will shape how the Catholic faith is perceived and understood. For tens of millions of Americans, even a modest return to “normalcy” – to the familiar ways of our politics – will be a welcome change after the tumultuous years of the Trump administration. The outgoing president, and especially the events of recent weeks, has set that bar very low… For better or worse, Biden also takes office at a time when the opposition party is in disarray.

By Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine – Yesterday morning at the grand Cathedral of St. Matthew in Washington D.C., Joe Biden ate and drank his own spiritual death. That he received the Holy Eucharist from the hands of a Cardinal of the Church adds scandal upon scandal. One radio wag called it a mass for Planned Parenthood. And so, it was… Joe Biden is an enemy of the Catholic faith. This fact must be repeated as often as humanly possible. Joe Biden holds himself out as a faithful Catholic, yet he does not believe in the faith’s fundamental teachings about the human person or human sexuality.

By Andrew Trunsky, The Stream, Daily Caller – President Joe Biden is expected to sign multiple executive orders aimed at combating climate change on his first day in office… The orders, which block construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, rejoin the Paris Climate Accords and temporarily halt oil and gas leasing in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, would directly reverse policies implemented by former President Donald Trump… Biden’s move to kill the $8 billion pipeline, which would have carried hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil from western Canada to oil refineries in the Midwest and Gulf Coast ….

By Star Parker, Guest Columnist, OneNewsNow – As the new Biden-Harris administration assumes power, the most basic American freedom of speech and expression is under unprecedented threat… For the first time ever, I am concerned about my freedom to do my work, to run a policy institute addressing issues of culture, race and poverty from a conservative perspective… Technology — the internet — which was largely nonexistent just 25 years ago, now plays a huge role in our lives as a tool of communication.

By Michael Haynes, LifeSiteNews – The pro-abortion Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has launched an attack on Catholics for their support for Trump’s pro-life polices, claiming that they were selling out “democracy” due to their opposition to the murder of the unborn… Pelosi made the comments a few days ago, when speaking to Hilary Clinton on the failed 2016 presidential candidate’s podcast “You and Me Both.”… The Speaker of the House made her attack upon Catholics, shortly after declaring Joe Biden to be a “unifier” for the country, saying that “women and minorities and LGBTQ people can thrive.”

By Steven Ertelt, Michaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Biden, his wife Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, and her husband Douglas Emhoff, all attended church this morning. Sadly, as soon as late today or tomorrow, Joe Biden is expected to force Americans to send hundreds of millions of dollars to International Planned Parenthood so it can promote its abortion agenda across the globe. As the Bible calls Christians to share the message of Jesus Christ to everyone around the world, Biden will export abortion instead.

 By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – “Four years ago we launched a great national movement to rebuild our country and renew its spirit,” Trump said. “I stand before you truly proud of what we achieved together. We did what we came here to do, and so much more.”… “This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous,” he continued… Trump thanked his family, who “fill[s] my world with light and with joy,” Vice President Mike Pence and his family, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, his cabinet, White House staff, secret service, and military and law enforcement across the country… “We are a nation of incredible, decent, and faith-loving citizens who want our nation to thrive and be good,” the president went on. “All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.”

By Michael Brown, The Stream – It was President Dwight Eisenhower who once wrote that “in a democracy debate is the breath of life.” Today, it seems as if the left wants to snuff that breath out. Competing ideas must be censored and even cancelled. Only PC groupthink will be tolerated… An Attempt to Deplatform a Christian Worldview from Public Debate… Back in 2012, GLAAD, which originally stood for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, launched its so-called “Commentator Accountability Project.”

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – In an obvious nod to the radical identitarian Left, Joe Biden named Pennsylvania’s Health Secretary “Rachel” Levine as his new assistant secretary of health. Levine, formerly known as Richard, openly identifies as “transgender” and has been a member of the ironically named “Equality Pennsylvania,” an LGBT activist organization. Clearly for conservatives, there are serious problems with putting a demonstrably mentally ill science denier in the nation’s top healthcare position.

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – Republican congressional minority leaders Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy will be joining incoming Democrat President Joe Biden and their Democrat counterparts Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi for a Catholic Mass, despite Biden’s (and Pelosi’s) longstanding rejection of key Catholic teachings. While McConnell and McCarthy are Baptists, Schumer is Jewish.

By Charlie Butts, OneNewsNow – The persecution of Uyghur Muslims in Western China continues, as the government works to eradicate the faith by imprisoning those who resist and forcing abortions on the women who violate the country’s official two-child policy – all while punishing the attorneys who take a stand for the people’s human rights…

Catholic News Agency – President-elect Joe Biden is expected to promptly roll back pro-life policies the Trump administration put in place, NBC News reported on Monday… Biden, who will become the second Roman Catholic president when he is sworn in to office on Jan. 20, is believed to be seeking to repeal the Trump administration’s Protect Life Rule and the expanded Mexico City Policy.
The Protect Life Rule prevents organizations which perform or refer for abortions from receiving Title X family planning funds. It effectively stripped Planned Parenthood of approximately $60 million annually in federal funding.

By Michael Brown, The Stream – It’s one thing to take strong exception to many of the goals of the Democratic platform or to have grave concerns about where the left wants to take America. It’s another thing to view every Democrat as Satan incarnate and to justify despising and loathing them. Yet that is what many of us have done in the heat of the current political crisis… This is a dangerous outlook on life. It is one that also dishonors the Lord who created these people in His own image, not to mention sent His Son to die for them.

By John Zmirak, The Stream – Speaking of presidential inaugurations … can I share with you what disappointed me about Trump’s swearing in, four LONG years ago? I’d really hoped that at some point during the ceremony, Barack Obama had stood up to speak, taking the mic in hand as sometimes he liked to do… I wanted to hear him say, in his studied faux “urban” way: “My fellow Americans, there’s something I’ve wanted to share with you for eight long years. I think now’s at last the moment.” …

By Doug Mainwaring, LifeSiteNews – On the eve of Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, Washington Archbishop Wilton Cardinal Gregory will join the former vice president and Kamala Harris to honor those who have died of COVID-19… Cardinal Gregory is slated to deliver the invocation at the event… “The memorial will feature the lighting … at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and hundreds of towns, cities, tribes, landmarks, and communities all across the country have committed to joining the tribute in a national moment of unity.”…

By Paul Smeaton,  Jan 18, 2021, LifeSiteNews – Every human life is a gift to the world.  Whether born or unborn, young or old, healthy or sick, every person is made in the holy image of God.  The Almighty Creator gives unique talents, beautiful dreams, and a great purpose to every person.  On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, we celebrate the wonder of human existence and renew our resolve to build a culture of life where every person of every age is protected, valued, and cherished.

By Steve Jordahl, OneNewsNow – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (pictured) was live-streaming one of her kitchen-table video blogs on Tuesday when she was asked about the role media that reported on the apparent stealing of the 2020 election played in the Capitol riots. Freedom of the press definitely needs to be “reined in,” replied the leader of “The Squad”: Ocasio-Cortez: “There’s absolutely a commission that’s being discussed but it seems to be more investigatory in style rather than truth and reconciliation. So, I think that’s an interesting concept for us to explore ….

By Deacon Steven D. Greydanus, EWTN News – Every person in this church — from the people sitting in the last pew to those of you in the front to our celebrant and even me here in the ambo — every one of us is here because we have been called… Christ has called each of us. That’s why we are here, each one of us. We all had to get up this morning, get dressed, and make our way here, but we’ve done so in response to a call.

By Paul Murano, Church Militant – It’s a dire warning for the United States as the Left infiltrates all branches of government… Secular progressives taking over the White House and Congress are assaulting the First Amendment — this from prominent author and journalist Trevor Loudon… Loudon is sounding the alarm that dangerous times are ahead for the United States. He indicated the coming political landscape in his most recent book, White House Reds. The author recently shared with Church Militant some of these dire predictions.

By Joe Hoft, Gateway Pundit – The EPOCH Times reported today: Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe assessed that China interfered in the 2020 federal elections, according to a letter transmitted to Congress… In the letter (pdf), Ratcliffe alleges that intelligence about China’s election interference was suppressed by management at the CIA, which pressured analysts to withdraw their support for the view… “Based on all available sources of intelligence, with definitions consistently applied, and reached independent of political considerations or undue pressure—that the People’s Republic of China sought to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections,” Ratcliffe wrote… Is this enough evidence to overturn the election?

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews , January 15, 2021 On Wednesday, addressing claims that President Donald Trump should be impeached for inciting a violent insurrection by his […]

By John Zmirak, The Stream – You’ll note that I mention “the Left” and “NeverTrumpers” separately. Lately it’s gotten harder and harder to tell them apart. In practical politics, they side together. Self-styled “conservatives” and Christians pretend that some profound moral principles prevent them from working with President Trump or his supporters.

By Kennedy Hall, Crisis Magazine – Kennedy Hall is the author of two books. He is married with four children and lives in Ontario, Canada. His work can be found at kennedyhall.ca… I imagine the majority of readers here at Crisis are from the great nation a couple hours south of my hometown. As a Canadian I grew up in a culture that was heavily influenced by all the good—and the bad—that comes from my southern neighbor, and I have great affection for the USA. But there is an ugly character trait that many Canadians revel in—namely, anti-Americanism.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – One Catholic priest is blaming his fellow church leaders for their strong condemnation of abortion, claiming their comments “helped spawn a hate-filled environment” that led to violence at the U.S. Capitol last week… In an essay this week at America magazine, Father James Martin criticized several Catholic bishops and priests for speaking out against abortion and President-elect Joe Biden’s stance on the issue, the Catholic News Agency reports.

By Jerry Newcombe, The Stream – But those inside the Capitol were not typical of the vast majority of conservatives, including those who attended the D.C. meeting. Pastor and columnist Larry Tomczak was there. For wnd.com (1/6/21), he writes: The diverse crowd was overwhelmingly respectful but righteously angry. The gathered multitudes were a far cry from the boisterous, violent and destructive protests of Black Lives Matter, Antifa and far-left extremists.

By Bronson Stocking, Townhall – In a new video provided to Project Veritas by an unidentified Twitter employee, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey warns of further censorship following Twitter’s recent ban on the president of the United States… “We know we are focused on one account right now,” Dorsey said, in reference to his company’s decision to ban President Trump. “But this is going to be much bigger than just one account and it’s going to go on for much longer than just this day, and this week, and the next few weeks and go beyond the inauguration. ..”…

By Conrad Black, American Greatness – These are among the darkest days of American democracy. With nearly airtight totalitarian uniformity, the American media robotically repeat that there is no possible argument to be made that the 2020 presidential election produced an unjust result. In the same magical spirit of post-electoral unanimity, President Trump has been condemned for his remarks to hundreds of thousands of his supporters in Washington on January 6, and it is now a political commandment that he is responsible for the ensuing illegal forced entry and fatal violence at the US Capitol.

By John Zmirak, The Stream – It’s time to admit it now. Trump fought the Borg, and the Borg won. Not that he engaged the Deep State skillfully or systematically. He didn’t. Was it his fault? Not entirely… Few Americans suspected exactly how systemic the rot was. Trump certainly didn’t. Or else he would have responded to the Russia collusion hoax by disbanding the FBI. Then building a new agency from scratch, with lawmen from small towns in the South. Chuck Schumer warned Trump that the Deep State would have its revenge, and so it did.

By Paul Murano, Church Militant – The mainstream media is celebrating Joe Biden’s message of healing and unity — and crediting his phony Catholic faith… The Washington Post is the latest media outlet to fawn over Biden’s anti-Catholic message, which actually places him outside of communion with the Catholic Church… Biden strongly supports same-sex “marriage” and presided over a so-called marriage of two men at his home in Delaware. He is a staunch supporter of the choice to kill preborn children in abortion. And he says there are at least three genders.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The liberal media narrative of the Capitol riots last week was that pro-life conservative Trump supporters were behind storming the Capitol. But a BLM activist has been arrested for his role in infiltrating the Trump voters outside the Capitol and urging them to riot and destroy property… Radical BLM activist John Sullivan has been charged with participating in and urging the Capitol riots. He’s a leftist who founded a group called Insurgence USA and was interviewed on CNN by Anderson Cooper to talk about his liberal advocacy.

By Susan Jones, CNSNews – President Donald Trump, speaking to the nation Wednesday evening through a video posted on the White House Twitter site, “unequivocally” condemned the “troubling events of the past week.”… He said “no true supporter” of his would engage in such vandalism and violence, and he said there should be no repeats: There has been reporting that additional demonstrations are being planned in the coming days, both here in Washington and across the country. I have been briefed by the U.S. Secret Service on the potential threats.

By David G Bonagura, Jr., The Catholic Thing – The irony is sickening. For decades we have heard the shrieks in defense of abortion and birth control: “Keep the government out of my uterus!” “My body, my choice!” “No woman can call herself free,” said Margaret Sanger, “who does not control her own body.”… Democratic politicians have long supported abortion with this line of reasoning. Most recently, in signing the Reproductive Health Act into law in 2019, New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo declared that “women in New York will always have the fundamental right to control their own body.”

By Steven Errtelt, LifeNews – President Donald Trump is taking action against communist China, which is persecuting minorities… The Trump administration has announced that the U.S. will block cotton from the Uighur region of China, where the communist government engages in human rights abuses such as forced abortions and sterilizations. The U.S. will bar entry of all cotton products and tomatoes from the region.

By Thomas P. Smith, LifeSiteNews – The Save America Rally, sponsored by Women For America First, was a totally separate happening from what took place inside the Capitol building. We’re still waiting for the media to figure that out. Yawn. Even so, they’re too biased to be honest and truthful enough to report the distinction so others around the world can know the difference, too. Trump was right when he exclaimed in his rally address that the biggest enemy of the country is the media. Our so-called “eyes” and “ears” are neither.

By Sean Fitzpatrick, Crisis Magazine – To put it simply and obviously, Americans must be good if this country is to be great, and what we all saw last week were not the actions of good people. We all have to do our part in being hardworking, honest, decent folk, who live by our Faith, care for our families, and look after our neighbors. It is in these smaller circles of community and local government that the principle of subsidiarity comes into political effect to affect the federal government, the Congress, and the presidency.

By David Nussman, Church Militant – Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said this in September: “This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset. This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and climate change.”… Cardinal Raymond Burke had this to say last month in a homily about the Wuhan virus: “What is clear, however, is that it has been used by certain forces, inimical to families and to the freedom of nations, to advance their evil agenda.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The Supreme Court has upheld a pro-life ruled issued by President Donald Trump that will help save babies from abortions… The Trump administration appealed the initial ruling and said it would be safer for women to see a doctor first because the drug can kill or injure women in certain medical situations… Today, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Trump administration can enforce the pro-life rule and lifted a nationwide injunction against it.

By Msgr. Charles Pope – Over the past nine months, the Church has given the impression that the sacraments are not all that relevant and that we have little to offer during a crisis. We must never allow this to happen again… In the first part of this reflection we reviewed the painful year of 2020, focusing on the social and political ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic. This installment examines the Church’s response to the situation.

By Gerard V. Bradley, First Things – At an October campaign event, Biden made the promise his own. Asked what he would do about abortion in light of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Biden noted the “expectation” that Barrett would vote to overrule Roe. He then declared: “The only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making Roe the law of the land. That’s what I would do.”

By Jason Morgan, Crisis Magazine – On January 8, 2021, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey banned President Donald J. Trump for life. The opportunity for virtue signaling proved irresistible to Dorsey. After the debacle in the Capitol on January 6, Dorsey did what he had been wanting to do for years: cleansed his platform of dissent. Democracy means that the Democrats say what is what. Dorsey made sure that there would be no questioning, by the people, of the “people’s will.” …

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – The old adage states, there are always two sides to every story. Well, according to today’s Democrats and Leftmedia, such a notion is no longer applicable. In fact, in America today the “other side of the story” is down right dangerous and must be squelched at every opportunity, and leftist Big Tech has been convinced to help do just that… It’s all about controlling the “news” that Americans receive in order to control how Americans think.

By John Zmirak, The Stream – The same liberals who insist that we can’t pass anti-porn laws, for fear of censorship, applaud when social media monopolies silence conservatives and Christians. They snickered when Trump was tossed off Twitter, allegedly for encouraging “violence.” They laughed out loud when alternative platform Parler was shut down entirely… You and I can’t help it. We’re driven to point out the gaping double standard, the manifest unfairness. But we should be careful to manage our expectations. If we think it accomplishes anything to point up this injustice, we’re probably wrong. Because … stay with me here … the injustice is the point.

By Michael W. Chapman, CNSNews – Jonathan Turley, a professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, constitutional scholar, and columnist, said the censorship tactics of Apple, Google, Facebook, and Twitter present a “major threat to free speech,” and raise questions about a new form of “state media where companies advance an ideological agenda with political allies.”

By Michael Haynes, LifeSiteNews – President Donald Trump has called out Big Tech for silencing both himself and many other conservative voices in the past few days, calling it a “terrible mistake” that is “very, very bad for our country.”… Speaking at Joint Base Andrews prior to flying out to Alamo, Texas, the president briefly talked to the gathered media, focusing on the huge and sudden explosion of Big Tech censorship which has seen Trump banned from Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, as well as other platforms, in just a matter of days.

By Paul Murano, Church Militant – … the Democratic Party would love to cancel the MAGA movement permanently… maybe, Democrats are hiding something they fear could come out between now and Jan. 20… Two laptop computers were stolen from the Capitol building — one from Pelosi’s office. Could there be something on those computers that motivates their urgency? Or do they fear Trump may unveil something under the radar that may be damaging to the Democrats?

By Al Perrotta, The Stream – Joe Biden’s inaugural theme will be “America United” … just days after he implied that those who didn’t vote for him are white nationalist Nazis … and his Big Tech and Big Business partners have launched a jihad against Trump supporters … and as Nancy Pelosi launches her latest impeachment farce… Joe must be taking hits from Hunter’s crack pipe…

By John Zmirak, Church Militant – At the sight of tattooed, horned men loping around the U.S. Capitol and some jester squatting in Speaker Pelosi’s chair, it would take a man with a heart of stone to witness it all without laughing. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde… Wait. What did Zmirak just say? Doesn’t he realize that a bunch of goons getting rowdy in the people’s own house is The Worst Thing Ever to Happen in America? That it discredits populism, Donald Trump, and the Christian credentials of every person who ever supported him? …

By LifeSiteNews staff – The Supreme Court of the United States rejected a preliminary plea of Cook Children’s Medical Center to pull the plug on Baby Tinslee Lewis against her mother’s will. Baby Tinslee’s fight for her life began November 2019 when the Fort Worth hospital moved to end the child’s life against her mother’s will under the deadly Texas 10-Day Rule. Her court case struck a massive blow to the anti-Life statute in a Texas appeals court, and Cook Children’s sought to overturn the decision. …

By Kristina Wong, Breitbart – “I read that some VOA employees didn’t want me to speak here today. I’m sure it was only a handful. They didn’t want the voice of American diplomacy to be broadcast on the Voice of America. Think about that for just a moment,” he said.
“This kind of censorial instinct is dangerous. It’s morally wrong. Indeed, it’s against your statutory mandate here at VOA. Censorship, wokeness, political correctness. It all points in one direction — authoritarianism cloaked as moral righteousness,” he said.

By Katie Pavlich, Townhall – As I said over the summer, it is these defining moments that we will look back and tell our grandchildren that through empathy, strength, and determination, we were able to restore the promise of our future. Each of you are the backbone of this country. You are the people who continue to make the United States of America what it is, and who have the incredible responsibility of preparing our future generations to leave everything better than they found it.

By Charlie Butts, OneNewsNow – Carol Tobias, who leads National Right to Life Committee, says there is excitement because rookie lawmakers who are proudly pro-life number at least 45 in the House… “The unborn babies are going to have even more voices speaking up for them in the House of Representatives this year,” she tells One News Now… Lost among President Donald Trump’s loss was huge gains Republican candidates made on Election Day in the Democrat-led House.

By Martin Barillas, Church Militant – Thousands of Antifa and BLM supporters marched this summer, burning their way through neighborhoods after the unarmed, habitual criminal George Floyd was arrested and died in the custody of Minneapolis police. The Catholic bishops joined the media and shills for the Democratic Party in expressing shock at the killing, while authorities stood by as rioting, looting and burning became the favored means of political expression by the Left

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – President Donald Trump slammed Twitter for suspending his personal account on Friday, saying that the action is tantamount to “banning free speech.”… The social media giant Twitter has suspended President Donald trump’s account after falsely claiming he promoted rioting and violence. In a statement on its twitter Support account, twitter official claimed that Trump’s recent Twitter posts were “in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy.”

By Raymond Wolfe, LifeSiteNews – In a video released on Twitter that now has over 33 million views, U.S. Capitol police can be seen quietly forfeiting barricades and allowing some protesters access to the Capitol building during a protest Wednesday… At least one protester appeared already to have entered the restricted area… Videos from different parts of the protest show different interactions between police and protesters.

By Timothy Flanders, Crisis Magazine – Fraternity born of Adam—human fraternity itself—is the fraternity of death and slavery to Satan. But Jesus Christ brings the true liberty and fraternity “not such as the Freemasons absurdly imagine, but such as Jesus Christ obtained for the human race…the liberty, We mean, of sons of God, through which we may be free from slavery to Satan or to our passions, both of them most wicked masters; the fraternity whose origin is in God, the common Creator and Father of all” (Leo XIII, Humanum Genus, 34).

By Allum Bokhari, Breitbart – President Donald Trump tweeted from the official @POTUS account following his permanent ban from Twitter, condemning the company’s censorship and signaling that he intends to move to a new social network, or build a replacement. The tweets promptly disappeared from the account… The message from the President briefly appeared on the @POTUS account before disappearing. It is not clear if Trump or another person with access to the account deleted the posts, or if Twitter did so itself.

It may be weeks before we fully understand the fallout from the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol building. The prevailing consensus from conservative talk radio hosts and editors is that this event provided ammunition to Trump’s enemies and gave squishy Republicans an excuse to abandon their objections to the certification of Biden’s electors.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Social media giant Twitter frequently censors pro-life conservatives but is refusing to remove a tweet from communist China celebrating forcing women to have abortions… As LifeNews.com reported, the Chinese Communist government celebrated a decline in births Thursday in a region where it has aggressively persecuted minorities by forcing them to abort their unborn babies… Chinese Embassy in the U.S. treated the report as good news, even highlighting how its government’s “process of eradicating [religious] extremism” contributed to the declining birth rates.

By William Mahoney, Ph.D., Church Militant – Cardinal Wilton Gregory and Raphael Warnock have a history of collaborating and praising one another for environmental activism and community service… In 2015, when Gregory was archbishop of Atlanta, Warnock backed the prelate’s social media campaign in response to Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Sí… “The Roman Catholic archdiocese of Atlanta introduces our ‘Refresh’ campaign, which encourages Pope Francis’ message and engages our community to look at new and exciting ways we can ‘Care for Our Common Home,'” a

By Charlie Spiering, Breitbart – The president sent the message from the @POTUS account on Twitter after the social media platform permanently banned his @realDonaldTrump account… Trump said he would negotiate with other social media sites to find a new online platform and even suggested that he would look into building his own platform in the future… “We will not be SILENCED!” he wrote.

By Michael W. Chapman, CNSNews – As the Media Research Center (MRC) has documented, “Big Tech companies,” such as Facebook and Twitter, “outraged at President Donald Trump’s win in 2016, put everything they had into ensuring that he would lose in 2020.”… Facebook and Twitter censored numerous news stories in 2019-20 to protect Joe Biden and damage Donald Trump.

By Tom Gilson, The Stream – I’ll let others deal with “awoman.” I was a whole lot more interested in his Eurocentric reference to “God known by many names by many different faiths.” I know he meant it as a sign of respect. Religious liberals do it all the time, usually because they don’t want to put anyone’s Christianity over anyone else’s beliefs. As with so much else in the liberal world, though, it’s a massive fail, a total self-contradiction.

By Chris Woodward, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – The controversy centers around the non-profit Center for Tech and Civic Life, which columnist Michelle Malkin describes as a “deep-pocketed liberal advocacy group” funded by Big Tech billionaires, such as Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg (pictured at left) and left-wing philanthropy groups known for pouring tens of millions into liberal causes.

By Jane Stannus, Crisis Magazine – Like many of her fellow lefties, Nancy Pelosi is a troll. I’m not talking about her looks; I’m talking about her clever use of deliberately inflammatory behavior that serves only one purpose: to keep the enemy (that’s us) riled up about a problem that doesn’t exist. Case in point: the January 2 House of Representatives’ new rules proposal, officially presented by Nancy Pelosi and Rules Committee Chair James P. McGovern, serves to “honor all gender identities…”…

By Edward Pentin, National Catholic Register – Vatican investigators have claimed that a report showing $1.8 billion was wired from the Vatican to Australia from 2014 to 2020 is “significantly” overestimated, but many questions remain about the transfers, which some experts say point to money laundering and organized crime involvement.

By Newsmax, Wires – President Donald Trump, minutes after Congress certified Democrat Joe Biden’s Electoral College Victory and hours after demonstrators broke into the Capitol, pledged “an orderly transition” to the incoming administration…. “Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th,” Trump said in a statement posted on Twitter Thursday morning by Dan Scavino, the White House deputy chief of staff.

By Stephen P. White, The Catholic Thing – Unfortunately, that Catholics today have achieved an unprecedented degree of governing power at the federal level means next to nothing. As I have written before, these days, the fact that someone “is Catholic” tells us next to nothing about their political or even religious beliefs. American Catholics, even at this high-water mark of our political heft, lack the substantive unity to use our collective weight in a meaningful, or at least politically stabilizing, way. …

By Thomas Griffin, Crisis Magazine – The recently-opened 117th Congress experienced what could be considered the most laughable prayer ever uttered if it was not in the context of such a serious platform. Representative Emanuel Cleaver from Missouri was sworn in on Sunday, and led a prayer in front of Congress to conclude the process. Ordinarily, this would be an appropriate way to give thanks to God

By Timothy Gordon, Church Militant – As described on the podcast Rules for Retrogrades by former Trump senior security official Michael Anton, a color revolution can effectively determine the outcome of an election (i.e., making the loser “win”) through the combined use of: systematic electoral ballot fraud — point-padding and point-shaving; airtight collusion between politicians and media companies silencing all meaningful dissent; most importantly, a thoroughgoing narrative before, during and after election night.

By Mark Levin, The Blaze – it should be of great moment and concern to the people of this country and especially to congressional Republicans in both Houses, for if the latter do not at least confront and challenge this lawlessness on January 6, when Congress meets to count the electors, it will be the GOP’s undoing and, simultaneously, the undoing of our presidential electoral system. Ultimately, it will be the people of the United States who love our republic who will be the losers.

By Les Riley, Personhood Alliance – “This is why the pro-life movement as a whole is having such a difficult time ending abortion,” urges Riley. “Because we compromise. Because we allow exceptions; whether that be in abortion law or in trafficking the body parts of abortion’s victims. We pull the rug out from under our own feet, undermine our own principles, and dismiss the value God places on each and every life He creates. Talk about harming our own ability to effectively witness and share the Gospel!”

By Jason Jones & John Zmirak, The Stream – What is Pope Francis doing now for the most abandoned people on earth? Surely if we are meant to see Jesus’ face in “the least among us,” Francis ought to glimpse Him among those with fewest rights and allies today. Yes, unborn children, of course. But Francis has shown a strange aversion to pro-life political leaders from the U.S. to Hungary and even his native Argentina. Francis’ other political interests seem to him to outweigh the unborn, as if the prospects of economic migrants and doubtful climate policies were more urgent than willful murder.

By Solange Reyner, NewsMax – Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., thinks “upwards of” 100 GOP lawmakers will vote to not accept Joe Biden’s victory when Congress convenes on Jan. 6 to count the Electoral College votes… “I hope I’m wrong. I’m guessing it will be upwards of 100,” Kinzinger told Charlie Sykes… “I think you’re going to have some people that come out and take a strong stand but man, I hope I’m wrong. I’m not going to be surprised if it approaches three figures.”

By Matt Vespa, Townhall – Both New York and California have become the Mecca and Medina for this virus. New York, by far, has a higher death rate and the number of infections than the red state outbreaks that the media tries to pass off as similar in size and scope. It’s not. For starters, in most red states, their COVID outbreaks are part of a first wave that never touched them back in the spring.

By Charlie Butts, OneNewsNow – Warren Hamilton (R-McCurtain), who is serving his first term as a state senator, makes no secret that he is a pro-life Christian. He plans to introduce the Abolition of Abortion in Oklahoma Act/Equal Protection and Equal Justice Act for the upcoming legislative session – a bill that, if passed, would make abortion illegal in Oklahoma… He tells One News Now God has blessed America for nearly 400 years… “With the 63 million-plus innocent children that we’ve killed under the color of law, we should expect that God’s blessing will soon dry up,” Hamilton submits.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – Will multibillionaire Mike Bloomberg really convince anyone that a farmer operates by simplistic rote, and someone like himself is critical to America—one who censored the politically incorrect reporting of his own journalists while he schemed to find ways to capitalize Chinese Communist-owned companies with western currencies—at huge multi-billion-dollar profits to himself?… When your refrigerator goes out under quarantine and your supplies begin to rot, do you really need another rant …

By Jeffrey Rubin, Newsmax – After blocking a Senate move to vote on boosting coronavirus stimulus checks on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell introduced an alternative proposal. In it, the checks are increased as Pres. Trump, many Democrats and even some GOP lawmakers have urged… McConnell also ties those fatter payments to Trump priorities including probing allegations of election fraud … Unrelated to COVID, he also wanted a repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act …

White House – Today is the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of Saint Thomas Becket on December 29, 1170. Thomas Becket was a statesman, a scholar, a chancellor, a priest, an archbishop, and a lion of religious liberty… Before the Magna Carta was drafted, before the right to free exercise of religion was enshrined as America’s first freedom in our glorious Constitution, Thomas gave his life so that, as he said, “the Church will attain liberty and peace.”

By Deal W. Hudson, Crisis Magazine – If you wanted to radically diminish the influence of Christianity in America, what would you do? You would make it against the law. You would bring the law down on the Christian faith by labeling its core teaching as “hate speech.”… The claim that same-sex attraction is an unnatural state, and that homosexual acts are intrinsically immoral, is homophobic.

By Michael Brown, The Stream – What comes to mind when you hear that the title of one of my articles is, “Don’t Put Your Trust in a Political Savior”? For some of you, it is probably something like this: “There goes Mike Brown again with his self-righteous posturing, lecturing those of us who are still standing with Donald Trump.” But what if I told you that I wrote this article back in 2011 during the presidency of Barack Obama?

By P.J. Gladnick, LifeNews – On Sunday, reporters Michael Warren and Arlette Saenz blatantly boosted Joe Biden as a man of devout faith, touting he would be the only president in decades to attend church. Decades? Really? Did CNN not remember that President George W. Bush was well known as a very religious man who attended church?

By Arnold Ahlert, Patriot Post – “What country could put 1 million religious dissidents in a gulag archipelago, destroy the semi-independence of Hong Kong, threaten any of its dissident neighbors with commercial destruction, embark on the largest imperialist and colonialist project in two centuries throughout Africa, Asia, and Europe, obliterate the culture of Tibet, militarize… Victor Davis Hanson… In a single paragraph, Hanson fully illuminates the wholesale corruption of our ruling-class oligarchs.

By David Warren, The Catholic Thing – A fortnight hence, it will be New Year’s Day. That will make it 2021, by the grace of God. All our troubles will be over, according to a supermarket Christmas carol. The page will be turned on what, according to conventional opinion, was the worst year in living history… But what if some problems persist? Let me indulge the controversial view that conventional opinion is usually wrong.

By R. C. VanLandingham, Crisis Magazine – The Chinese Communists have never cared much for human life. During their revolution, they not only brutally executed their enemies, but even buried their own soldiers alive. Once the Communists took control of the country, they used the same brutality against their own people. “Some of our comrades have too much mercy, not enough brutality, which means they are not so Marxist,” Mao told his senior officials. “We indeed have no conscience! Marxism is that brutal.”

By John Horvat II, LifeSiteNew – There is a major plan for change in society that is called the Great Reset. Rarely have I seen a plan so openly laid out to the public. Time magazine devoted a whole issue to the subject. Most major corporation CEOs (the Davos crowd) have signed on to the proposal. This is beyond conspiracy theory; it’s becoming policy… The Great Reset is the brainchild of Klaus Schwab and is sponsored by the World Economic Forum. He sees it as a way of “reimagining capitalism” to make it a greener, more equitable wealth creation system. It stresses the idea of a “stakeholder” capitalism that considers the interests of all society rather than a shareholder version that concentrates on the profits of investors.

By Rob Shimshock, CNSNews – Conservative commentator Mark Levin said Wednesday that the 2020 presidential election unveiled the “complete collapse” of the courts on state officials taking unconstitutional actions… “This election has exposed the complete collapse of the judiciary as a check on unconstitutional acts by state officials eviscerating legislative authority under our federal constitution (Art. II, Sec. 1, Cl. 2),” he said.

By Mark Alexander, Patriot Post – Predictably, the Supreme Court refused to take up the Texas lawsuit against four states for illegally changing voting rules. This suit was very different in nature from those filed by Donald Trump’s legal team… For the record, refusing to take the case based on “lack of standing,” meaning the Court determined the state of Texas did not have direct legal standing to bring the suit, is very different than declaring the claims for the Texas suit don’t have merit. They most certainly did and do have merit.

By Lianne Laurence, LifeSiteNews – Well-known pro-life advocate Abby Johnson has blasted the USCCB for “cowering to Big Pharma” by endorsing abortion-tainted Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines… Johnson.. accused the bishops of “talking out of both sides of their mouth” by saying that abortion is evil, but that it is “okay” to take an abortion-related vaccine if there are no ethical alternatives available, all while exhorting Catholics to lobby for ethical alternatives… The reason why pharmaceutical giants haven’t stopped using aborted fetal cell lines in vaccine development is “because the leadership of the Catholic Church is too cowardly to stand up and say no more. That’s why it hasn’t happened,” contended Johnson.

By Michael Brown, The Stream – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., famously said, “The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority.”

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow – “I think that this is going to be at least prosecuted through January 6,” he offered. “What I understand from the campaign is that in some of these battleground states [on Monday] there will be alternative slates that will be presented – and it is the campaign’s hope that these alternative slates will be sent to Congress with the Biden electors and that pushes it where it should be: in the hands of the Congress to decide which one of the slates should be accepted.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Attorneys for the church praised the Supreme Court ruling… “Today in Colorado it is perfectly legal for hundreds of shoppers to pack themselves cheek by jowl into a Lowes or other big box store or patronize any one of the thousands of other retail establishments that are not subject to draconian numerical limits,” wrote Barry Arrington, an attorney for the church… “But if 51 people were to meet to worship God in a small rural church in Ault, Colorado, they would do so at the risk of being fined and imprisoned,” Arrington wrote.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – But this exodus of businesses out of California is not a recent phenomenon that can be blamed on COVID and Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s draconian lockdowns, although they have certainly contributed. Instead, this problem has been years in the making, thanks to California’s high taxes and over-regulation.

By Chris Woodward, OneNewsNow – Regardless of who is inaugurated as president next month, the Affordable Care Act, or ObamaCare, remains the law of the land.

They wouldn’t even take bets on it, and then all of a sudden around 11:00, ballots start getting dropped.

By Michael Haynes, LifeSiteNews – “Then there is the mysterious Wuhan virus.. it has been used by certain forces, inimical to families and to the freedom of nations, to advance their evil agenda.

By Jason Jones & John Zmirak, The Stream – The billionaires and multi-billion-dollar foundations partnered with Francis aren’t spending their own money to help the poor. Instead they seek political and economic power, using the poor as a pretext… Pope Francis signed an alliance with Communist China, aimed against the West. His top authority on Catholic social teaching, Bishop Marcelo Sorondo, praised China as living out that teaching better than the United States does.

By William Federer, Patriot Post – In August of 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville observed a court case:  “While I was in America, a witness, who happened to be called at the assizes of the county of Chester (state of New York), declared that he did not believe in the existence of God or in the immortality of the soul…. The judge refused to admit his evidence, on the ground that the witness had destroyed beforehand all confidence of the court in what he was about to say. The newspapers related the fact without any further comment …”

Kennedy, Jr., LifeSiteNews – In 2019, according to a not-yet-purged Scientific American article, Gates commissioned the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to build an injectable quantum dot dye system to tattoo stored medical info beneath children’s skin.

By John Zmirak, The Stream – The best book I’ve worked on, out of a dozen I’ve written, co-written, or edited, was The Bad Catholic’s Guide to the Seven Deadly Sins. Hands down. Not because it’s funnier, or more politically pointed. No, I like it the most because I’ve been told that it’s the most useful. It does something that nobody’s done, at least not in English and not for a very long time, so far as I’ve seen. Let me explain.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – President Donald Trump is predicting “big things” in his election fraud cases this week.

By John Stonestreet & Maria Baer, The Stream – What is clear, more clear than ever in fact, is the base set of assumptions we now operate from as Westerners and Americans. Catastrophes like COVID always reveal worldview. To borrow a phrase philosopher Craig Gay uses in his book The Way of the (Modern) World, we are “practical atheists.” A subtle, operational-level form of secularism, practical atheism is not necessarily to believe that God does not exist. Rather, it’s to live as if God does not exist.

By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D., American Thinker – The all-knowing, all-caring, anointed guru of all things COVID, Dr Anthony Fauci, has been wrong at least as often as he has been right, with a predictive value of a coin flip. Yet any scientific utterance from him is treated in the media as a scientific law, on par with gravity, as long he speaks convenient science… The CDC and WHO also have a long string of flip flops regarding the Wuhan flu… Hydroxychloroquine, a drug in common use for 6 decades, deemed safe for virtually the entire.. has now been deemed as unsafe as eating rat poison or cyanide in the minds of most media consumers.

By Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, LifeSiteNews – These are the paradoxes of a misguided power, managed by people corrupt in the soul and sold out to Satan, a power which, after obsessively repeating the mantras of “democracy” and “power belongs to the people” is now forced to impose a dictatorship on the people themselves, in the name of the achievement of objectives aimed at protecting the political and financial interests of the elite… This Great Reset, desired by the globalist elite, represents the final revolution with which to create a shapeless and anonymous mass of slaves connected to the internet, confined to the house, threatened by an endless series of pandemics designed by those who already have the miraculous vaccine ready.

However, our election reports have revealed that the COVID-19 or Wuhan virus has been heavily exploited to justify many of the still on-going voter fraud actions and investigations.

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – Speaking to Church Militant, Catholic academic John Zmirak warned: “I have read fewer things more sinister than the WEF’s latest production.

By Russell Shaw, The Catholic Thing – It helps to see these matters in the broader context of respect and disrespect for the Eucharist generally. There is a neat formulation of the problem in the newly published first volume of Cardinal George Pell’s Prison Journal. Speaking of the too-casual reception of the sacrament, which is common today, he says: “Every type of Catholic should realize there is an exclusion zone around the Eucharist, where adults without faith and without basic good practice should not enter.”

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – If you have been wearing a mask for the past several months, your immune system has not been getting its usual daily workout. That’s probably OK for adults, who over the years have developed immunities to all sorts of minor airborne maladies. But young children are in a different situation; their immune systems are still developing. For them, wearing masks for the better part of a year might mean missing opportunities to develop immunity to some pesky diseases.

By Al Perrotta, The Stream – But the president’s chances of getting a fair hearing going forward will go way up if he and his surrogates can broadcast the strongest evidence of voter and election fraud. That is because, like it or not, judges are influenced by public opinion and by the dominant media narrative. And since election day the media have asserted over and over that there is no evidence of fraud. Or at least, there’s not enough to alter the election.

By Charlie Butts, OneNewsNow – Despite there being no right to abortion in the Constitution, the high court’s 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade forced abortion on all 50 states – resulting over the years in the killing of more than 65 million babies in the womb. Now, Ark.

By Michael F. Haverluck, OneNewsNow – Anticipating Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to assume the White House in January as questionable vote tallies continue to lean in the former vice president’s favor, newly elected California DNC member David Atkins is seriously considering putting conservatives not aligned with Democrats’ radical socialist agenda into re-education camps… “No seriously … how *do* you deprogram 75 million people? … Where do you start? Fox? Facebook?” he wrote in his following tweet. “We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South.”

By Charles Coulombe, Crisis Magazine – The battle of righteousness versus Satan. Yes, Satan, because these leftists are evil, corrupt and they want to tear down this nation. We must not allow this. We must fight this corruption that has taken over and fight for the good that seems lost. Let us give our trust to God and fight now for Trump’s victory because we all know this ballot count is [corrupt] like they are, so let us not back down.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – America will weather its current hysterias… But the tensions and furor are reminiscent of the last generations of the Roman Republic. In its last century, Romans began to adjudicate politics by obsequious partisan town criers (their version of our media), mass demonstrations, and freelance street gangs. Looters, arsonists, and demonstrators did pretty much as they pleased in the streets of Rome without fear of legal consequences… In our time, the media has now vanished—kaput, no more, ended.

By Lucy Collins, CNS News – Mark Levin: There’s a lot of confusion here, and unfortunately, it’s being given by former prosecutors and law professors. Really absurd: “the quantity of the fraud.” First, “there’s no fraud. You can’t prove it.” Now, “there’s not enough fraud to matter.” And they know it, sitting in their studios in Washington, in New York and elsewhere in the country, they know there’s “not enough fraud.” How do we know? Because Giuliani and the hundreds of volunteers they have, haven’t shown us enough fraud.

By Betsy McCaughey, Patriot Post – Cuomo has clashed repeatedly with certain Jewish groups holding large gatherings in defiance of social distancing. But the Orthodox groups that appealed to the Supreme Court argue that they have not “violated any public health or safety rules.” They are victims of the governor’s “guilt by religious association.” Cuomo admits his approach is like a “hatchet. It’s just very blunt.” Blunt and unfair.

By Steven Mosher, LifeSiteNews – Let’s start with Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who is one of President Trump’s attorneys. This morning, Sidney was on Glenn Beck’s radio show, where she told him there are lawsuits coming in each and every one of the swing states. The evidence in these lawsuits will consist of eyewitnesses to and victims of voting fraud; actual raw data from the precincts, which takes time to get and analyze; and affidavits from experts who will explain that the resulting anomalies in the data are statistically impossible.

By Carina Benton, The Federalist – In light of both the disastrous human rights situation in China and a sex predator’s dubious involvement in the Sino-Vatican accord, it’s time for the Vatican to come clean about Cardinal McCarrick’s role… While the USA was reeling last week from an utterly chaotic election, the Vatican decided it was the right moment to publish its long-awaited report into disgraced former Cdl. T. McCarrick. The mammoth document is a nauseating account of clerical coverup, cowardice, and complicity that prioritizes subtle finger-pointing and deflection over real accountability.

By Jonathan Liedl, EWTN News – They come from different places and different backgrounds. One spent his teenage years adjusting to life in the United States as a refugee of the Vietnam War. Another is less than a decade removed from serving as Miss Minneapolis… But whatever their differences, Catholics newly elected to state or federal office this November have responded to a similar call to enter into public service …

By Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D., Breitbart – China’s use of forced abortions and sterilizations to weed out undesirable elements in the population is nothing new… “The practice of eugenics has been part of the debate on population control since Margaret Sanger’s visit to China in 1922”… “The language of ‘improving the quality of the population’ is not new,” Ms. Littlejohn said in response to a Breitbart News story highlighting recent revelations that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is doubling down on its eugenic goal of breeding superior subjects.

By Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine – Columnist Damon Linker has had one of those emotional meltdowns we have come to expect from Never-Trump dead-enders… Mr. Linker wants us to forget the crimes committed against Donald Trump and to forget Trump’s extraordinary accomplishments… here’s something you should understand, Mr. Linker. You want us to forget all this. But we won’t. You and yours declared war on Trump, and you carried it out every day. That war is not over. We have not surrendered. Welcome to the whirlwind.

By Victoria Gisondi, LifeSiteNews – Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas tweeted today at Joe Biden, a self-proclaimed Catholic, reminding him that his positions on abortion and marriage fly in the face of Catholic teaching… Strickland tweeted, “As a bishop I beg Mr. Biden to repent of his dissent from Catholic teaching on abortion & marriage for his own salvation & for the good of our nation. He aspires to the highest office in our land & must be guided by the truth God has revealed to us. I pray for him to find Truth.”

By Jason Jones & John Zmirak, The Stream – November 18 marks a powerful anniversary. In 1920, the newly-hatched dragon that was the Soviet Union legalized abortion. That made it the first government in the West to embrace the destruction of children since the conversion of Constantine. No one even dared to raise the idea of doing that until the 18th century, when the Marquis de Sade proposed it — in the midst of one of his many pornographic, literally Satanist books.

Edward Pentin, EWTN News – The controversial Brazilian liberation theologian Leonardo Boff will be a keynote speaker at the Economy of Francesco, a three-day international Vatican-organized conference that starts tomorrow aimed at making finance inclusive and sustainable… A former Franciscan priest, Boff will speak on “socio-ecological responsibility: global view, territorial actions” along with Father Vilson Groh, who works with the poor in the favela (slum) of Florianopolis in southern Brazil.

By John Zmirak, The Stream – I’ll admit it was somewhat shocking on election night to see Fox News flip from a patriotic, dissident network to just part of the MSM. And every night after that, apart from a few commentary shows like Sean Hannity’s and Tucker Carlson’s. I suddenly realized how citizens in Eastern Europe must have felt in 1948, when their Communist-rigged elections were reported by suddenly servile media.

Complicit Clergy – Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) told colleagues on Tuesday that President-elect Joe Biden’s policy positions, including support for abortion rights, pose a “difficult and complex situation” for the church. In response, the USCCB has announced that it will form a “task force” to address policy by President-elect Joe Biden that contradicts Catholic teaching.  Just what we need: another meaningless task force that will give the appearance of doing something while accomplishing nothing.

OAN NEWS – WATCH/LISTEN – General Tom McInerney on OAN: Hammer, Scorecard, and Voter Fraud – November 18 2020

By Bill Donohue, LifeNews – Among Biden’s top priorities is to codify into law the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade. In other words, Biden wants to lock in the right of a woman to abort her child at any moment of pregnancy, for any reason whatsoever, thus blunting any future court challenges.

By John Henry Westen, LifeSiteNews – I wanted to warn my brothers and sisters in the USA about what they are in for if Joe Biden gets elected at the end of this US election fraught with fraud. This election that President Trump clearly won counting legal votes is one of the greatest threats to Democracy ever to confront the USA. Just have a look at Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and how much he is like Biden.

By William Sullivan, American Thinker – Fresh on the heels of the Sacramento Bee’s criticism of Gavin Newsom’s multi-family extravaganza at the famous French Laundry, a swanky $350-a-person-before-the-wine-is-ordered restaurant in Yountville, California, and after having his wrist slapped by the state Judiciary for exceeding his constitutional authority in issuing emergency lockdown orders, he’s decided that he really doesn’t care what the plebs of his state think or what the law says about his executive limitations… He’s locking the state down again.

Catholic News Agency – Archbishop Jose Gomez told bishops Tuesday that a future President Biden, as a Catholic, would present unique challenges for the Church in the United States, especially regarding Biden policy positions at odds with Catholic doctrine… “The president-elect has given us reason to believe that his faith commitments will move him to support some good policies. This includes policies of immigration reform, refugees and the poor, and against racism, the death penalty, and climate change.”… “…he will support policies that are against some fundamental values that we hold dear as Catholics. These policies include: the repeal of the Hyde Amendment and the preservation of Roe vs. Wade. ….

By Teresa Blazewicz, WND Guest Columnist – “I never say anything I can’t prove.” Sidney Powell was cool, calm, collected and fierce in her on-air interview with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo last Sunday where she laid out the case purporting massive voting fraud in this year’s presidential election. Powell, a former federal prosecutor, has a storied career and is most prominently known for rallying conservatives across the nation as she came to Gen. Michael Flynn’s defense earlier this year.

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – Pope Francis has invited the world’s foremost proponent of abortion and population control to address his “Economy of Francesco” conference on the theme of “letting life flourish.”… Economist Jeffrey Sachs, a liberal Jew who is president of the United Nations (U.N.) Sustainable Development Solutions Network, will speak at the start of the Assisi conference from Nov. 19–21, which is now being held online due to the Wuhan virus pandemic….

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Despite the coronavirus shutdowns and limited legislative sessions, 13 states still made protections for unborn babies a priority in 2020… According to Americans United for Life, 13 states passed 19 pro-life laws in 2020, including measures to require abortion facilities to give mothers accurate information and to protect underage girls from secret abortions without a parent’s knowledge or consent.

By Hadley Arkes, The Catholic Thing – But of course we already know that the same people who regard nascent life as disposable have been readying a plan for us in the latter stages of life, to give us the benefits of “choice” and “euthanasia.” For patients no longer steady in their judgments, the decisions in some cases will flow to doctors, armed with the powers of life and death… And they are likely to be doctors more and more in accord with their times, more and more delivered from any sense of the moral grounds and limits of their vocations.

Exposed! New Proof On Why I Am CERTAIN Trump Will Win, by Janet Porter – WATCH!

By Rhina Guidos, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops – Bishop Joseph E. Strickland of Tyler, Texas, said the recently released report on former cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, describing his ascent to highest rungs of the church, even amid rumors of abuse, read like a list of the seven deadly sins… “Lust, greed, gluttony, wrath, sloth, envy, pride — pretty much the report covers all of them,” said Bishop Strickland.. “I think we need to, really, as pastors acknowledge that we’re all sinners and we’re all called away from sin,” but the report shows sometimes pastors and others can turn a blind eye to sin, Strickland said. “I think that could be the title of the report.”

By Elizabeth Yore, Crisis Magazine – Sexual predators, like spies, are masters of deception and deceit. Both operate in secrecy, perpetuate a cover story, manipulate their victims through lies, and maintain a facade of respectability. Often, sexual predators become prime and easy targets for espionage since they are so vulnerable to blackmail. Prominent sexual predators can become prominent spies. Spies trade in secret information and influence peddling-the more prominent the asset, the more valuable the information.

By Art Moore, WorldNetDaily – (Attny. Sidney Powell)… said she believes the case she’s now building for the Trump campaign will wind up in the Supreme Court… Mark Steyn asked Powell if the justices will be “as eager to sweep it under the rug” as have establishment media, social media and Democrats… “I don’t think so, Mark,” she replied. “I think the evidence is going to be so overwhelming, and I would warn any state right now that thinks they’re going to certify this election to rethink it very seriously. Because what they’re certifying is their own fraud and their own complicity in fraud.”…

By Michael Haynes, LifeSiteNews – Out of the many news headlines that have dominated the year 2020 so far, there is one somber event that is in danger of being forgotten: November 18, 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the first-ever legalization of abortion… Researchers estimate that legal abortion has resulted in about one billion abortions worldwide in the past 100 years, making it what they call the “greatest genocide in history.”

By CNSNews.com Staff, CNSNews – “Well, here’s what I’d do,” Biden said. “Let me tell you what health experts have said to me, and it’s not because I’m unique as president-elect, it’s because of my family: They strongly urge that if in fact we’re going to have Thanksgiving with anyone, that we limit it to a maximum—maximum–they suggest five people, maximum 10 people, socially distanced, wearing masks, and people who have quarantined.”

Alpha News MN, Nov 15, 2020 – Fr. Thomas Dufner of Church of the Epiphany in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, homily from Nov. 7. WATCH HOMILY Fr. Thomas Dufner

By Jay Valentine, American Thinker – Political science types have a word for every happening. One is the Overton Window. Like lots of these terms, it is not too scientific, but it well describes things observed every day… For instance, the idea that an eight-year-old boy decides to be a girl, because he feels like it, and is then medicated with hormone therapy to look as close to a girl as science enables was once a preposterous idea…

By Martin Bürger, LifeSiteNews – LifeSite’s video reporter Jim Hale was on the ground. “I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands of people have showed up today,” he said. “This is the most patriotic spot in the United States of America right now. And the people here have come to deliver one message to President Trump: Do not quit!”

By Susan Jones, CNSNews – Attorney Sidney Powell, now part of the legal team investigating alleged election fraud for the Trump campaign, said on Sunday she’s found “massive election fraud” resulting from the software produced by Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems… Powell alleges that votes cast through Dominion/Smartmatic were “wiped away.”… However, Dominion Voting Systems, in a message on its webpage, “categorically denies false assertions about vote switching issues.”

By John Zmirak, The Stream – One of the most heartbreaking phrases in the English language is “learned helplessness.” Here’s how Psychology Today explains it: “Learned helplessness occurs when an individual continuously faces a negative, uncontrollable situation and stops trying to change their circumstances, even when they have the ability to do so…” And this, my friends, is what the Democrats and NeverTrump GOP elites are hoping for from President Trump’s supporters…

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – These past four years, Donald Trump, intentionally or not, became a CT scanner that produced three-dimensional images of the innards of elite institutions and people, showing us what is beneath their veneers. He had an eerie manner of replying to critics in such an upstart fashion that those who objected to his supposed crudity proved cruder in repartee than he. And he showcased his successes for America in such a way as to make his enemies wish that successes for their country were failures instead.

By Mark Alexander, Publisher, The Patriot Post – Some of you are discouraged. On behalf of your Patriot team here, I can tell you that wading through the leftist detritus day after day would indeed be discouraging if we allowed ourselves for even a moment to lose sight of what defines us — eternal Truths, not temporal circumstances… Let me remind you: You are NOT alone. There are more than 80 million grassroots American Patriots across our nation, most of us armed, and our ranks are growing.

By Gene Thomas Gomulka, Church Militant – What caused most Americans, including Democrats, to change their attitudes toward slavery and the rights of blacks? The shift wasn’t mainly due to the intervention of religious leaders. Civil rights advocates among the clergy (such as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) were “as few and far between” in condemning racial discrimination then as clergymen like Bp. Joseph Strickland, Fr. Frank Pavone and Fr. James Altman are in exposing the Democratic Party’s support for abortion-on-demand now.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Steve Mosher told me today in a blockbuster interview that President Trump is gathering all the evidence needed to show massive, widespread voter fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential race… “They picked on the wrong guy to try and bulldoze,” he said… The mainstream media is engaging in a “bloodless” coup attempt on the president, he added, who won by huge margins in key swing states but was denied victory thanks to “old school” and new, high-tech methods of voter fraud.

By John-Henry Westen, LifeSiteNew – Steve Mosher told me today in a blockbuster interview that President Trump is gathering all the evidence needed to show massive, widespread voter fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential race… “They picked on the wrong guy to try and bulldoze,” he said… The mainstream media is engaging in a “bloodless” coup attempt on the president, he added, who won by huge margins in key swing states but was denied victory thanks to “old school” and new, high-tech methods of voter fraud.

By Susan Jones, CNSNews – “But I do think we should be driven by science and data and the facts here. And they simply do not support the notion of locking down the country, sheltering in place… You know, it’s important the American people know the facts, and the simple facts are that our colleges are not mechanisms for major spread of disease. Our kids in K-12 are not mechanisms of major spread — we’re not seeing those settings for major spread of disease. Our normal workplaces are not settings for major spread of disease. Air travel is not a setting for that. Health care work — our health care settings, going to the doctor, has not been a major vector of disease.”

By Patrick J. Buchanan – Democrats remain today the minorities’ party and Republicans the party of America’s white majority. White folks are roughly 60% of the U.S. population, though closer to 70% of the electorate. Both those figures, however, are slowly and steadily falling… Demography is still destiny… Republicans are going to have to grow their share of the white vote and their share of the Hispanic, Black and Asian vote or their future will begin to look like California today, where the Grand Old Party does not hold a single statewide office.

By Austin Ruse, LifeNews – A Biden-Harris administration would be an unmitigated disaster for the unborn child, religious freedom, and the family. They would be far worse than the Clintons, who were awful, and the Obamas, who were worse… Here’s is what a President Biden would do right away… He would remove the U.S. from the Geneva Consensus Declaration that the U.S. led and that says, correctly, that abortion is not a human right, and laws regulating it are for sovereign states to determine.

By Michael J. Matt, Editor, The Remnant – In this Sunday Sermon from So. St. Paul, Father comments on Election Fiasco 2020, arguing that the cheating, lying and fraud going on in America today is something straight out of hell… Father encourages his flock to pray for the president. As long as Trump is willing to fight for our nation, we must be willing to fight for him….

By John Henry Westen, LifeSiteNews – With the election thrown into overtime by growing evidence of widespread voter fraud, President Trump has refused to concede to Joe Biden, contesting the election by issuing lawsuits in several states… In the midst of this ongoing fight to ensure a fair election count, I spoke with one of the country’s leading experts on election integrity, Hans von Spakovsky.

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – While Democrats have been worried Obamacare would be overturned by a conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court, it appears justices are reluctant to change the status quo… Yesterday, the High Court heard the first challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) — known as Obamacare — but conservatives Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh were hesitant to declare the legislation unconstitutional.

By Auguste Meyrat, Crisis Magazine – Last Saturday, after all major news media outlets announced Joe Biden’s presidential victory, ebullient Biden supporters (or more precisely, Trump opponents) took to the streets to celebrate. Mr. Biden obliged the crowd of supporters—oddly, the largest crowd he has ever had—and gave a speech accepting the job of president of the United States.

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – The number of new, pro-life Republican women elected to the House of Representatives has climbed further, and now stands at 16, with the possibility of three more joining the group… Of the three undecided races, one is being held up by legal wrangling, and in the other two the Republican candidates are leading by slim margins – in one case, by a razor-thin margin.

By Dennis Prager, The Stream – As there is too much to say in the space of one column, I will simply offer some thoughts on the state of the country a week after the 2020 elections… No. 1: While I am not certain the reported election results are dishonest, I suspect they are. Worse, about half this country believes this, too… This is unprecedented in American history.

By Eric Mack, NewsMax – “It’s going to be a little bit of a slow process to get this into court, but then all the federal courts know they’ve got to do this rapidly,” Sekulow, of the American Center for Law and Justice, told Tuesday’s “Spicer & Co.” “So, chill out. Take your time. Let us do our legal work, and then the courts are going to do this in an expedited manner… “Whether it’s like 30 days or so, I think we have all this figured out.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – President Donald Trump has officially clinched victory in the state of North Carolina. Fox news and the liberal media have come under fire for prematurely declaring Joe Biden the winner in Pennsylvania and Arizona while not certifying the state of North Carolina, where Trump leads his pro-abortion rival by well over 70,000 votes.

By Msgr. Charles Pope , EWTN News – The heavy hand of government seems to hold all the cards. As a citizen of this land I am deeply concerned that we have ceded our rights to government officials out of a fear that far outweighs the actual threat, and that we have accepted mandates that don’t even seem to work. I do not say we should abandon all mask-wearing or other efforts to curb COVID, but the time has come to ask serious questions and demand real answers before governments demand lockdowns once again.

By Michael Pakaluk, The Catholic Thing – My goal here is to say some words to readers who are disturbed by the election, but to do so starting from non-partisan, Catholic premises solely. I want what I say to be embraceable by all Catholics with sound criteria… As regards the election: It is important for all of us to give at least minimal acknowledgment of the fact that, legally, it is not over… The election ends, when Congress in joint session counts the electoral votes and declares the results, on January 6, 2021.

By Ed Timperlake, American Thinker – The actual fact that AG late last night triggered the use of the DOJ legal handbook bodes very ill for those who are involved in electoral cheating… As often is said: you can go easy or you can go hard, but make no mistake, you are going to address your behavior. And as the joke goes, never steal anything small and the Democrat team certainly took that to heart.

Since Election Day, half of President Donald Trump’s Facebook and Twitter posts have been censored by the establishment media and other Big Tech giants who have demonstrated total allegiance to who the media has now crowned “President-elect Joe Biden” as of Saturday… With the mainstream media essentially assuming the role of decision maker in the election results, major news hubs – such as ABC, NBC, CBS and MSNBC who cut off Trump’s election White House press conference Thursday …

By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNSNews – Archbishop Jose H. Gomez of Los Angeles, who currently serves as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has issued a statement describing Joe Biden—who supports legalized abortion, taxpayer funding of abortion, same-sex marriage, and allowing biological males to play on girls’ sports teams and use girls’ locker rooms—as “the second United States president to profess the Catholic faith.”

By Msgr. Richard C. Antall, Crisis Magazine – The media is trying to present the election results reported by the Associated Press as a fait accompli. This is the same media source that tried to trash the Catholic Church about the Payroll Protection Plan. They’re responsible for a vicious attack on Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s person, faith, and family. Whatever the AP is selling, I’m not buying it. The French phrase that might be appropriate is coup d’état.

By Leah Barkoukis, Townhall – Sidney Powell, a member of President Trump’s legal team, alleged that Democrats had a widespread voter fraud operation on Election Day… “The computer glitches could not and should not have happened at all… That’s where the fraud took place where they were flipping votes in the computer system or adding votes that did not exist. We need an audit of all of the computer systems that played any role in this fraud whatsoever.”.. She said Biden was right when he claimed to have “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

By Hendrik van der Breggen, The Stream – When it comes to abortion, it’s time for adults to stop sleeping and start thinking… Essential Health Care?.. According to U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, “Abortion is an essential health care service.”… No, it’s not… Dr. Kendra Kolb, a neonatologist, stated this in 2019: There is no medical reason why the life of the child must be directly and intentionally ended with an abortion procedure.

Legal Information Institute – The electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President …..

By Paul Brock, Church Militant – Two weeks after Hillary called half of Trump supporters “deplorables,” voters strongly rejected her ‘basket of deplorables’ approach… A Washington Post-ABC News poll revealed that 65% of registered voters thought the approach was unfair (notably, 47% of registered Democrats thought it unfair as well). .. Trump, of course, went on to win the 2016 election and, embracing the insult, even gave a congratulations to all of the deplorables.

By Jay Valentine, American Thinker – We have a generation born to an age where civics is no longer taught, millions of Americans do not know the difference between a representative and a senator and too many think the Electoral College is a land grant school west of Omaha… The Deplorables may not have understood raw political power, Leftist manipulation via vote fraud conveniently covered by the media and Big Tech. But they appear to get it now.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election…

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – One of President Trump’s original campaign promises is being fulfilled. Since the beginning of his presidency, he’s taken on the deep State, but it’s been a long and difficult fight… In the run-up to the 2016 election, President Barack Obama illegally spied on members of Trump’s foreign policy team. As soon as Trump got in office in January 2017, a host of Obama administration holdovers began to leak information and disinformation to the press, compromising national security.

By Mark Alexander, Patriot Post – Three days after the polls closed, late ballots have moved multiple states into the Biden column. Based on how the Demos used the CV19 pandemic to implement massive bulk-mail balloting, combined with ballot harvesting in Democrat precincts, their unverified balloting campaign has worked… As Biden himself declared in a colossal political gaffe a week before the election: “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Indeed they did.

By Susan Jones, CNSNews – As of early Friday morning, President Trump had issued 16 tweets in 24 hours, and seven of them were labeled as “misleading” and hidden by Twitter… Around 2 a.m., Trump reacted to the censorship, writing: “Twitter is out of control, made possible through the government gift of Section 230!”… Several of the suppressed tweets were video clips of President Trump’s news conference on Thursday evening, where he discussed the problems he sees with the ballot counting and alleged fraud.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – President Donald Trump says he will not stop fighting to reach a fair and transparent conclusion for the presidential election because he wants to ensure the election system is free of fraud. His statement comes as further votes in Georgia and Pennsylvania have given Biden a lead but Trump supporters are concerned about potential fraud and illegal ballots… “We believe the American people deserve to have full transparency into all vote counting and election certification, and that this is no longer about any single election. This is about the integrity of our entire election process,” he said.

By Michael Warren Davis, Crisis Magazine – I’ve held off on writing a post-election column, hoping against hope that the votes would be counted quickly and fairly. I suppose that was naïve. At this rate—and regardless of who “wins” in the end—half of the American people will feel cheated out of victory… One thing is certain, however. In 2020, President Trump won the largest share of nonwhite voters than any Republican candidate since 1960. It is (rightly) being hailed as a sign that normal Americans reject the Democrats’ politics of racial resentment. This is good news for conservatives, and very good news for Christians.

By Christopher Bedford, The Federalist – “The church is not a political power,” Pope Benedict XVI declared. “It’s not a party, but it’s a moral power.” It’s a moral power as needed as ever in public life, yet through the course of 2020’s disease, uncertainty, government power over religion, and attacks on saints and churches, our bishops have chosen the path of secular popularity, closing their doors and politely nodding along with the elites. Do our political leaders’ stations in our society mean they are beyond God’s word? The Catholic Church’s silence screams that this is the case.

By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNSNews – Justice Samuel Alito said today–during oral arguments in a case that pits the City of Philadelphia against the Catholic Church over the question of whether the city can force Catholic Social Services to give custody of foster children to same-sex couples–that “the City can’t stand the message that Catholic Social Services and the archdiocese are sending by continuing to adhere to the old-fashioned view about marriage.”

By Catholic Herald 2020, Staff Reporter – Eight nuns have reportedly been forced to leave their convent in northern China due to government pressure… The whereabouts of the nuns has not yet been reported, but one of them told Bitter Winter that officials declared them “dangerous persons” and “repeatedly harassed” them… “They asked us to write down what we had done since kindergartens and demanded to disclose everything we did over the past few months,” the nun told the Italian

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Voters elected a record-number of pro-life women to Congress on Tuesday, including 13 new pro-life Republicans who will be filling seats in the U.S. House… The Susan B. Anthony List, a leading pro-life organization that invested $52 million into supporting pro-life candidates, celebrated the victories for life… “The surge of victorious pro-life women candidates in the U.S. House is a stunning blow to Nancy Pelosi and her pro-abortion agenda,”…

By Will Sentell, Mark Ballard, Staff writers, The Advocate – “With the passage of this amendment, our citizens have mandated that state judges can never use our Constitution to enshrine abortion or the taxpayer funding of abortion in Louisiana,” Benjamin Clapper, executive director of Louisiana Right to Life, said in a statement Tuesday night… “We the people, through our legislators, can pass laws defending life without the intervention of judges,” Clapper said.

By Star Parker, Townhall – No, this isn’t communist Cuba; this is Washington, D.C., the supposed center of the free world… Even more disquieting than the scenery is the knowledge that my own organization, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (UrbanCURE), has been targeted by ShutDownDC, a left-wing group promising to execute vigilante justice if the election doesn’t play out to its liking.

By Casey Chalk, Crisis Magazine – The fate of the Catholic Church in Poland means more to American Catholicism than one might think… Thus the decline of Catholicism in Poland, and strong anti-Catholic activism should serve as a bellwether for American Catholics. About a quarter of Americans are either practicing or former Catholics. Despite the many crises the Catholic Church in America has suffered in recent decades, she remains remarkably influential, both politically and spiritually.

By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews – President Donald Trump has just stated that as far as he’s concerned, he’s already won the election… Early this morning, the President addressed White House staff to celebrate the current Republican victories and deliver a sober message alleging election fraud.
“We won states, and all of a sudden, I said, ‘What’s happened to the election? It’s off’,” Trump said… “Because you know what happened? They knew they couldn’t win, so they said, ‘Let’s go to court’.”

By Fr. Dwight Longenecker – Thus frustrated, I voted for Mr. Trump today because, despite my concerns, the other side is worse. Much worse. Joe Biden’s public hypocrisy as a Catholic is a stench in my nostrils. Kamala Harris’ and the Democratic party’s aggressive support for abortion up to the point of birth is an obnoxious crime that cries to heaven for vengeance… I have seen what (Trump) has done over the last four years… I think he stands up to the globalists–who are the most imminent threat to freedom and world peace… The final reason I voted for Trump is that he is a genuine outsider.

By Rachel Alexander, WorldNet Daily – Why is Trump going to win, despite the devastation caused by COVID-19?… The Democrats overplayed their hand with the race card. By calling everything racist, they allowed Antifa and Black Lives Matter to riot and destroy people and property for months, and the average American finally said enough. Trump has started a trend away from the Democratic Party – particularly by blacks – and from trusting the MSM. It’s just incredible to see it happen in our lifetime, considering how much control the left has over education, the media, Big Tech, entertainment and much of the legal system.

By Hadley Arkes, The Catholic Thing – I’ve had the rare experience recently of encountering scary and embarrassing scenes – and then realizing that it’s a dream;  I can get out of it.  And deliverance.  It’s not as bad as the late David Daube’s story about a British aristocrat who dreams one night that he is giving a speech in the House of Lords, only to wake up to discover. . .that it was true!

By Steven Mosher, LifeSiteNews – What this means is that Joe Biden is fatally compromised.  Retired CIA officer Sam Faddis, who has reviewed the thousands of documents on Hunter Biden’s laptop, puts it this way: There is a mountain of evidence that tells you that Joe Biden has been up to his eyeballs in CCP dealings.  They bought from him influence.  That means that they have “recruited” him, in spy parlance.  He works for Beijing.  You are about to have that guy sit down in the Oval Office as an agent of the Chinese Communist Party?

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – The Democrat presidential candidate has been talking about his Catholic faith often on the campaign trail, saying he cares “for the least of these” and wants to create unity in America. However, Biden has quietly embraced taxpayer-funded abortions on demand. And while constantly bringing up the importance of his faith, Biden has endorsed anti-religious freedom policies that would force nuns, religious charities and hospitals to violate their deeply-held beliefs.

By Michael Warren Davis, Crisis Magazine – Not even Tolkien could have imagined a man like Donald Trump appearing, like some latter-day Cyrus, to lead us Catholics this great battle against the Evil One. It’s too spectacular for fiction. Yet here he is: Donald the Great, come to deliver the faithful from our long exile. And, though not a Catholic himself (at least, not yet), he commands us to “rebuild the house of the Lord.”… The Jews knew a good thing when they had it, and to this day they honor Cyrus as an agent of Divine Providence. We Catholics are a bit slower on the uptake… Yet I believe that America’s Catholics will rise to this historic challenge. We’re made for adventure, and this may be the greatest adventure of our lives.

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – The leftist direct-action group calling itself Shutdown DC plans to hold an election result-watching gathering on the evening of Election Day at Black Lives Matter Plaza across from the White House – “a good place to respond to whatever might happen.”… On Wednesday morning, according to its website, the group is inviting people to gather at BLM Plaza and Union Station, from where “we’ll step off to disrupt business as usual for some of the intuitions that are most complicit in [President] Trump’s attack on Democracy.”

By Auguste Meyrat, Crisis Magazine – Antifa is now plotting a coup both inside and outside the federal government. Leaked footage from a Zoom conference of government workers organizing and planning insurrection, anarchists and communists hope to seize Election Day. While the usual delinquents will keep up their agitation and destruction in America’s cities, they will also coordinate with sympathetic federal employees and contractors to subvert the election process and block major operations of the federal government.

By Stefano Gennarini, J.D., LifeNews – The Acting Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development has sent a scathing letter to the UN Secretary General for allowing UN experts to promote abortion and told him to make “a course-correction for the greater good of the UN.”… “[W]e cannot stand by and watch the UN attempt to dictate a politicized agenda that gravely threatens the dignity of the human person and the human rights of the unborn, while simultaneously trampling on the sovereignty of pro-life countries…”

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – In an unprecedented move, faithful Catholics are calling for resistance against “the policies pursued by Pope Francis that threaten the West’s integrity, security and cultural identities.”… Lambasting the pontiff for orphaning the Christian West and favoring “those attacking the West with unparalleled intensity,” Catholics on five continents from the Instituto Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira and its sister organization Tradition, Family, Property (TFP), are urging the faithful to “resist a pope who abandons the Christian West.”

By Michael F. Haverluck, OneNewsNow – Gingrich believes that Trump’s numerous rallies before election day, compared to Biden seeking refuge in his basement as he “hides,” will be responsible for the results pouring in the Republican’s favor at the ballot box… “I actually think … it comes down to something which is psychological – not ideological… In the end, as you watched these two candidates campaigning, I think it’s coming down to sort of a bunny rabbit hiding in a basement protected by the news media and a bear who is wandering around on the stage courageously without fear.”

By National Catholic Register – As Catholics prepare to vote in the 2020 election, they are called both to form their consciences in light of Catholic teaching and to be informed about where the two major presidential candidates and their parties stand on the most important moral issues facing the country.
For Catholics, understanding the positions of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, as well as the Republican and Democratic Parties, is essential in making an informed decision on how to vote. It is also key in helping family, friends and colleagues make an equally enlightened choice on Nov. 3.

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – Pope Francis’ Muslim dialogue partner Grand Imam Ahmad al-Tayyeb has demanded an international law banning criticizing or insulting Islam — a day before three Catholics were slaughtered in Nice’s Notre-Dame Basilica… Al-Tayyeb, who signed the Abu Dhabi Human Fraternity pact with Pope Francis, said the republication of Muhammad cartoons by French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in early September were “an explicit act of hostility” against Islam and its prophet.

By Paul Kengor, EWTN News – Cardinal Wojtyla shared some striking words… in his final speech in the United States before his departure. In one particularly dramatic passage, reprinted by the Journal Nov. 9, 1978 (shortly after he became pope), Karol Wojtyla stated: “We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel. ….

By Fr. Richard D. Breton, Jr., The Wanderer – This landmark document is the blueprint through which the Church begins to engage the modern world, with the understanding that the integrity of the faith must never be compromised, but maintained. This document is especially relevant today as before our eyes the very moral fabric of society and our nation are on the brink of falling into the dark abyss; an abyss where there would be no turning back.

By Christopher Gage, American Greatness – Will black Americans not only reelect President Trump, but also write a new chapter of American political history?.. Yes, that’s quite a question—one of cosmos-bending proportions. And so are the figures undergirding that statement… According to Rasmussen, black Americans plan to vote for President Trump in larger numbers than in 2016. That’s not surprising… Yet, we are not talking just a point or two adding to that year’s eight percent total, but a whopping 31 percent.

By Patrick J. Buchanan, CNSNews – Given the cards (President Trump has been dealt in 2020, and the hatred of the media he daily confronts, it is astonishing that Trump retains his energy and enthusiasm for the battle. Most presidents would have long ago been broken… Thus it is that, four days before the election, Trump is decidedly the underdog. With the popular vote surely lost, Trump has to sweep almost all the battleground states — Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania …

By Steve Jordahl, OneNewsNow – A clip from a sermon by a Catholic priest has gone viral, as he tackled the issue of Christian voters crossing the aisle in the upcoming election… Conservative evangelical Christians have been arguing for decades, it seems, that anyone who shares their faith cannot, in good conscience, vote for the Democratic Party and it’s pro-abortion, sexually muddled platform. But it took a Catholic priest to crystalize the argument and make it concise.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The oldest daughter of President Donald Trump, she never used to discuss the issue publicly. Until her father won the White House, Ivanka rarely spoke about politics at all, but many assumed that she was at least moderately supportive of legalized abortion… “I respect all sides of a very personal and sensitive discussion, but I am also a mother of three children, and parenthood affected me in a profound way in terms of how I think about these things,” she told the news outlet in an exclusive interview. “I am pro-life, and unapologetically so.”

By Patrick Delaney, LifeSiteNews – A rapidly growing group of doctors critical of the government’s and the media’s response to the coronavirus crisis characterized mask wearing as “completely irrelevant to blocking the … virus.”… America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLD), a “diverse, exceedingly well-credentialed” group of physicians, gathered in the nation’s capital on October 16 and 17 for a second “White Coat Summit” aimed at countering “the massive disinformation campaign regarding the [COVID-19] pandemic,” according to the official website.

By Charles Coulombe, Crisis Magazine – But one cannot help but wonder—in the case of an industrial-strength abuser like Cardinal McCarrick, for example—if there was not a Satanic element in the wave of molestation that has swirled around the Church in the past several decades. This has been one of the contentions of Randy Engel’s multi-volume work, The Rite of Sodomy: Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church.

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post –

Catholic News Agency – Vatican Cardinal Robert Sarah said Thursday that the West must wake up to the threat of Islamism after three people were killed at a French church by an attacker shouting “Allahu Akbar.”… (Sarah said) “Islamism is a monstrous fanaticism which must be fought with force and determination.”… “It will not stop its war. Unfortunately, we Africans know this all too well. The barbarians are always the enemies of peace,” the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments wrote… “The West, today France, must understand this. Let us pray.”

By Chad Groening, Billy Davis – Last week, a daily tracking poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports showed 46 percent of likely black voters approve of President Trump, OneNewsNow reported in a weekend story… That polling figure is a shocking one because black voters overwhelmingly vote for Democrats after being warned by Democrat politicians for generations that the Republican Party is the party of rich, racist white men who don’t care about the poor…

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – On Sunday, the Rev. Robert E. Morey of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, South Carolina.. “Sadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden,” the priest said. “Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that. Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.”.. Morey also said he is praying for Biden.

By Mark Alexander, Patriot Post – The Democrat Party is, in fact, the party of division and hate — and demonstrably so.
It is not Donald Trump supporters and young conservatives who form the violent BLM and so-called “antifa” fascist movements. These are not the “deplorables” for whom Hillary Clinton harbors so much arrogant disdain — or, likewise, those Trump supporters whom Biden calls “chumps.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Liberal activists are making a last-ditch effort to try to falsely persuade Christian voters to support Joe Biden, even though he has a lifelong history of supporting abortion… While Biden supports abortion on demand up to birth and would force Christians to fund abortions, President Donald Trump has compiled a sterling pro-life record. When it comes to Christian issues, he has gone above and beyond to protect pro-life Christians from funding abortions …

By Dr. Alex Chediak, Ph.D., The Stream – In the 1999 film The Matrix, Neo learns that he’s living in an elaborate computer program. He seizes an opportunity to join others in rebelling against The Machine, setting us off on an epic adventure… The action flick was a big hit. It’s not hard to see why. Like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, it’s a larger-than-life story, with universal, quasi-religious implications. Viewers are drawn into Neo’s quest against the evil powers that would keep humanity ignorant and enslaved.

AP – Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court late Monday by a deeply divided Senate, Republicans overpowering Democrats to install President Donald Trump’s nominee days before the election and secure a likely conservative court majority for years to come… “This is a momentous day for America,” Trump said at a primetime swearing-in event on the South Lawn at the White House.

By Al Perrotta, The Stream – Seems only yesterday, there were widespread fears we were headed for election night and post-election chaos. That it’d be the 2000 post-election pandemonium times 50. That tension was at such a fever pitch, we could pretty much guarantee violence in the streets…
In a bitterly contested, confused election, the social media giants would suppress any information favoring Trump as “disinformation,” and boost any news that demonstrated a Biden win. …

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – “Generations yet unborn” will come to regret Amy Coney Barrett’s elevation to the Supreme Court, Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor, shortly before a majority voted on Monday to confirm the pro-life, conservative judge onto the bench… Schumer was not likely thinking of unborn babies in the womb; his next sentence began with an allusion to climate change….

By Michael Haynes, LifeSiteNews – Project Veritas have discovered election fraud on a potentially massive scale in Texas, as voters are bribed and coaxed to vote for Democrats — including changing votes on the ballot… (they) released a new video, documenting one woman in particular who claimed that she was “bringing at least at least 7,000 votes to the polls.”… Raquel Rodriguez from San Antonio, who officially works for a homosexual Republican candidate for Congress, Mauro Garza, is secretly a ballot chaser, bribing and coercing voters to change their ballot in favor of Democratic candidates.

By Dave Andrusko, LifeNews – We are seven days away from an election that historians, reporters, and folks just like you and me will be talking about for years and years to come. “Historic” is a much overused term, but nothing less captures what is at stake as pro-life President Donald Trump battles pro-abortion former vice president Joe Biden the  titular head of party that is pro-death from the top of their collective head to the sole of their feet.

By Matt Vespa, Townhall – Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, sat down with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson for a no-holds-barred interview for 45 minutes. Bobulinski didn’t want this interview. He doesn’t need to do it, but his reputation was being smeared as Russian misinformation. He was a guest at the final debate and when the former vice president denied being involved in Hunter’s business dealings, he almost stood up and shouted, “liar.”

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – A truly hilarious comment appears in this NPR story about Catholic activism: Where conservative Catholics have the edge on more progressive Catholics is that they have set up networks and institutions that allow them to get together,” says Cathleen Kaveny, a theologian and legal scholar at Boston College who writes often on Catholic issues.

By Patti Armstrong, National Catholic Register – When John F. Kennedy became president in 1960, it seemed that Catholics had broken through the anti-Catholic barriers in this country that had been in place since the American Revolution and colonial times. But putting a Catholic in the White House turned out to be a bad thing for the Church. It began to redefine what being Catholic is supposed to mean in the greater culture.

By Patrick J. Buchanan – Major media are either denouncing the allegations as unproven or ignoring the story, the motive for which is apparent. Journalistic duty be damned. We have to get rid of Trump. And anything that jeopardizes that highest of goals should be buried until after Election Day.
If Joe Biden loses on Nov. 3, public interest in whether his son Hunter exploited the family name to rake in millions of dollars from foreign donors will likely fade away.

By Antonio Socci, Church Militant – But what is the real objective being pursued? The most obvious one was self-congratulatory: Pope Bergoglio is thirsty for popularity and worldly acclaim, especially now that his pontificate is in decline and — according to his own supporters — has become totally bogged down (it’s enough to consider the Synod on the Amazon and the German synod). Above all, he wants to recover worldly favor during these weeks in which the Vatican has been at the center of new scandals …

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – These days, though, the Fourth Estate has its massive thumb firmly on the political scale, and at no time and in no place has this been more evident than its astounding indifference to the New York Post’s bombshell reporting on the influence peddling and self-enrichment schemes of the Biden Crime Family…

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – Justice Clarence Thomas swore in Amy Coney Barrett as the newest associate justice of the Supreme Court on Monday night, shortly after a bitterly-divided Senate voted 52-48 to confirm her… Democrats opposing the nomination cited both its proximity to the election, and concerns that the pro-life, conservative Catholic judge would further solidify the bench’s conservative majority.

By Emily Mangiaracina, LifeSiteNews – Pope Francis has named 13 clergymen to be appointed to the college of cardinals, nine of whom are eligible to vote in upcoming papal conclaves. This brings the number of cardinal electors appointed by Francis to 57 percent of total electors, increasing the likelihood that the next elected pope will share Francis’ vision for the Church… Jesuit Father Thomas Reese… noted that when the appointees “officially become cardinals, there will be 128 cardinal electors, eight more than the canonical limit.”

By Paul Kengor, EWTN News – Planned Parenthood v. Casey was anything but reprehensible to the senator from Delaware (Joe Biden). Biden wept tears of joy in the arms of Rudman, shouting triumphantly of Souter: “You were right about him! You were right!”… Rudman was indeed right. He had pushed Souter’s nomination by Republican President George H.W. Bush. He ensured liberal colleagues that Souter was okay. Rudman, a pro-choice Republican, had been Souter’s boss at the New Hampshire Office of the Attorney General. Yes, he and Biden were from opposing parties. But they were united by abortion.

By Mary Margaret Olohan, LifeNews – Catholic nuns wearing “Make America Great Again” masks at President Donald Trump’s rally excited the attention of Twitter users Saturday evening… At least three different nuns can be seen standing behind the president as he spoke Saturday night in Circleville, Ohio. The nuns, dressed in white, black and purple habits and wearing crosses around their necks, also wore black masks with the letters “MAGA” on them, were in the front row of the Trump rally.

By Christine Niles, Church Militant – The contents of Hunter’s laptop, abandoned at a Delaware computer shop last year and seized by the FBI, were recently given to The New York Post, Fox News and other media outfits, which independently authenticated the contents… The revelations from Hunter’s laptop raise the stakes of this election to frightening new levels. It now appears it really is the choice between American freedom and the slide towards communist control.

By Declan Leary, Crisis Magazine – As expected, the Holy See has announced an extension of its provisional agreement with the People’s Republic of China, concerning the appointment of bishops. Under the controversial agreement, episcopal candidates will be recommended to the Holy See by the Chinese Communist Party, then approved and appointed by the Holy Father. The plan’s experimental phase will now continue until October 22, 2022.

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to advance Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate… Widely regarded as a pro-life originalist, Barrett was a member of Notre Dame’s Faculty for Life group, is reported to have signed another letter published by Becket Law criticizing the Obama administration’s contraception mandate …

How did we get to this place in time — where today we have a so-called devout Catholic running for president who openly promotes abortions? Much of the blame can be shouldered by the Catholic Church and its pandering “shepherd-less” bishops and priests who have shamefully and disgracefully given false cover to those “Catholic” politicians and “Catholic” voters who believe they can hide behind the deceptive and fraudulent “seamless garment” argument ….

By Kimberley A. Strassel, Wall Street Journal – Joe Biden has a problem, and his name is Hunter. Because the former vice president hasn’t had to answer any questions on this topic—and continued to refuse to do so in Thursday’s debate—that problem could soon become America’s… a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s has come forward to provide the ugly details of the “family brand.”

By David Warren, The Catholic Thing – Predictably, Trump is blamed for the violence and disorder, which includes violent attacks on his supporters. This isn’t a mystery, to this “innocent abroad.” For the rioting and looting is not done, equally, by both sides. One, fairly consistently, prefers law and order; the other is more inclined to qualify this. And lawbreaking, to make a political point, is nearly the monopoly of just the one side.

By Christine Niles, Church Militant – Tony Bobulinski released a statement… “This afternoon I received a request from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance requesting all documents relating to my business affairs with the Biden family as well as various foreign entities and individuals,” Bobulinski writes. “I have extensive relevant records and communications and I intend to produce those items to both Committees in the immediate future.”

By Edward Pentin, EWTN News – The Holy See has announced it has renewed its controversial Provisional Agreement with China on the appointment of bishops… the Holy See said it considers the “initial application” of the Agreement “to have been positive” and that the accord is of “great ecclesial and pastoral value.”… The Vatican also gave a lengthy defense of the agreement in an accompanying note… In it, it said the agreement would remain confidential because of its “experimental nature” and reiterated its earlier assertion that Benedict XVI had approved a “draft.”

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – A well-respected economic model is calling China the biggest economy in the world. According to recent numbers from the gross domestic product model of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Chinese economy is worth roughly $24 trillion, whereas the U.S. economy is worth roughly $21 trillion… The IMF also reveals that China’s wealth has nearly doubled since 2010 — that’s twice the rate of wealth increase in the United States. This should be a shock to Americans.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – The topic was same-sex marriage, and the Pontiff dutifully affirmed the Church’s clear teaching that marriage must involve a man and a woman. But then he undermined that teaching, encouraging people in the mistaken belief that the Church will eventually take another step to accommodate same-sex marriage… “Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family,” the Pope said, explaining his novel stand. Yes, but they do not have the right to redefine the family—which has always been the goal of the gay-rights movement.

By Msgr. Richard C. Antall, Crisis Magazine – The dangers of the Weimarization of our media seem to be unremarked and perhaps that is because of a philosophy of relativism (although intolerant, which is the worst kind of relativism) and because of the economic reality behind the media (social and otherwise). Social media is commercialized and of its nature wants to exclude other outlets that compete.

By Eric Sammons, Crisis Magazine – When I vote, first and foremost, I prioritize life issues. Legalized abortion has led to mass infanticide of incalculable scale, and it clearly is the most important moral and political issue of our time. Sadly, neither major party has done much to end it. One revels in the evil, and the other mostly brings it up during election season for political gain… Second is avoiding war and military conflicts. As Catholics, we know that killing innocent non-American lives is as great of a sin as killing American ones.

Catholic News Agency – A poll released this week has found that Catholics from both major political parties said they want candidates to support religious freedom and oppose taxpayer funding of abortion, while they identified the economy and the coronavirus pandemic as major concerns leading up to the election… The poll found that Catholic likely voters, divided mostly along party lines, favor the election of Joe Biden over President Donald Trump. Biden’s lead among Catholic voters narrowed in several swing states, and among Catholics who attend Mass weekly.

By Randall Smith, The Catholic Thing – In a column last year titled “Politicizing the Eucharist?” I pointed out that no one now claims that when Archbishop Rummel of New Orleans excommunicated three Catholics for publically encouraging people to defy his order to de-segregate the Catholic schools, he was “politicizing the Eucharist.”

By Christine Niles, ChurchMilitant – Hunter Biden’s laptop, Trump’s re-election and more… Michael Voris sits down with President Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, to discuss explosive revelations about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the national security risk his father Joe Biden poses to the nation.

By Steven Mosher, LifeSiteNews – Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, doesn’t mince words about what he calls the Biden Crime Family. “What Hunter Biden is is a bagman,” says Giuliani. “I’ve prosecuted many cases like this. He’s collecting Joe’s bribes that come to about $12 million from the Ukraine and $3.5 million from Russia. But the really big money comes from China. And the amount of money involved is literally in the tens of millions of dollars.”… Giuliani sums up by saying, “[Joe Biden]’s asking to be president of the U.S. and he’s in partnership with the Chinese Communist Party. The Biden Family is owned by the Chinese Communist Party.”… Biden is the real Manchurian candidate. His assignment is not to assassinate his anti-communist opponent, but to defeat him in the upcoming election.

California Catholic Daily, 8-14-2020 – Pro-abortion former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has released another campaign video touting his supposed Catholic faith and friendship with Pope Francis… The short video released.. shows Biden and Pope Francis smiling and greeting each other, while a voiceover of Biden speaks about an occasion when the two men met at the Vatican.

By Beth Baumann, Townhall – Since the start of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, Democrats have been quick to call for state election officials to move the November election to entirely voting by mail. Republicans have repeatedly questioned the decision, citing a lack of tested policies and procedures, like if a person’s ballot is counted only once, even if they vote in-person and again by mail. But now an even bigger issue has arisen: the validity of online voter portals.

By Patrick J. Buchanan, CNSNews – With the national debt already equal to the GDP, and growing faster now, a question arises: Where does this end?.. How many more multi-trillion-dollar deficits can we sustain before the quality of U.S. debt is called into question by Japan, China and the other nations that traditionally buy and hold U.S. debt?… How long before the value of the U.S. dollar is questioned?

Charlie Butts, OneNewsNow – Michael Hichborn.. says his research and education organization dedicated to the defense of the Catholic Church against assaults from without as well as from within is the first to sound the alarm… “The Catholic Campaign for Human Development, which belongs to the USCCB, has been funding affiliates of an organization called Faith in Action,” Hichborn explains. “Faith in Action used to be called the Pico Network; back in 2016, when the CCHD gave $500,000 to the Pico Network, they were actually giving it to what is now called Faith in Action.”

By  Hank Berrien, DailyWire – On Monday, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices on the Supreme Court to deny Republicans’ request to put a hold on a lower court’s order that would permit Pennsylvania ballots to be counted even if they arrived three days after the presidential election… The lower court had ruled that if the ballots were postmarked by Election Day, they still had three days to be counted.

By Mary Margaret Olohan, LifeNews – A little over half of Catholic voters support 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden over President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, a poll released Monday found… Fifty-two percent of Catholic voters said they support the Catholic former vice president… “The gap also tends to narrow or flip to support for President Trump among Catholics who go to Mass more often,” the poll says, “while support for Biden increases among those who attend church less frequently.”

By Michael Warsaw, EWTN News – Unsurprisingly, the traditional view of our country holds that the constitutional guarantees of religious freedom should be protected, that people of faith should not be discriminated against for their beliefs, and that all Americans, including those not yet born, have a God-given right to life — the first right listed in the Declaration of Independence… Under this vision, the Constitution is viewed as a well-crafted document that continues to serve the country effectively and should be interpreted as written — not adapted and changed to meet the fads or trends of the moment.

Patriot Post – Explaining why Trump is the man perfectly suited for these divisive political times…. Tom Klingenstein explains why 2020 may be the most consequential election since 1860 — and why President Trump is the man most uniquely suited to the moment.

By Mike Huckabee, The Stream – Like a cheap piñata full of rotten candy, the Hunter Biden laptop story just keeps dropping more disgusting stuff on our heads every time we touch it. There are so many fast-changing details that it’s hard to keep up. This is just a little of what’s been going on in the past two days, none of which you would know if you relied on the mainstream news or social media to hear about it …

By Charles Robertson, LifeSiteNews – Bishop Thomas Paprocki said that voting for pro-abortion Democrat Joe Biden in the upcoming election would require “a proportionately grave reason that outweighs the killing of 860,000 babies per year,” adding that even the death penalty is no such reason… In a follow-up to his recent video contrasting President Donald Trump’s pro-life record with his opponent’s pro-abortion stance, the bishop of Springfield, Illinois, attempted to answer the question, “Is it a sin to vote for Joe Biden?”

By Robert Kraychik, Breitbart – Former Vice President Joe Biden’s joint political platform with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) amounts to a “communist manifesto” that will destroy America (Levin warned)… After Biden took the Democrats’ presidential nomination, his presidential campaign joined Sanders’s team to compose a document titled the “Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations.” The leftist proclamation derides the U.S. as pathologized by “systemic racism,” makes 85 mentions of “climate” while describing “climate change” as a “global emergency,” and calls for “restorative justice” to benefit “marginalized” demographic groups.

By William Mahoney, Ph.D., Church Militant – President Trump lambasted New York governor Andrew Cuomo in a tweet mid-August, saying, “A horrible Governor. Crime is taking over NYC & State, everyone is leaving. He is after the NRA. … Cuomo killed 11,000 people in nursing homes alone. Crooked & Incompetent!”… In 2019, Cuomo signed into law radical pro-abortion legislation… Cuomo forced New York City to celebrate the extreme law by lighting pink One World Trade Center and other New York landmarks.

By Msgr. Charles Pope – Over the years, in meeting especially with teenagers in Sunday School, I have used an old Jim Croce song to instruct them that worldly norms, and worldly leaders come and go. What is “hip” and cool today is considered silly and out of date tomorrow. My advice to them was to stay close to the Scriptures and teachings of the Church which are time-tested and do not change.

By Marek Jan Chodakiewicz, Crisis Magazine – It is customary to excoriate George Soros for the havoc he wreaks in the world, including the U.S. For example, it is he who threw the life line to Black Lives Matter first. This was not a gift to the African American community but, rather, to self-appointed leaders, who are also self-proclaimed “trained Marxists” out to destroy everything in a fiery revolution, including the nuclear family.

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – No amount of COVID-19 precautions in the world can eliminate the need to rely on God, President Donald Trump said Thursday at a campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina… “Masks, no masks, everything, you can do all you want, but you know, you still need help from the Boss, we need help from the Boss, that’s what happens, we need help”… “Somebody said to me the other day, ‘You’re the most famous person in the world by far,’” the President continued. “I said, ‘No I’m not’ […] They said, ‘Who’s more famous?’ I said, ‘Jesus Christ.’ I’m not taking any chances.’ […] And let me look up and I’ll say, ‘And it’s not even close.’”

Fr. Gerald E. Murray, The Catholic Thing – “Mario Cuomo: The Myth and the Man” by George Marlin is an important contribution to our better comprehension of a shameful fact in American political life: a significant percentage of the politicians who are the fiercest proponents of the continuing legalization of abortion on demand are baptized, even Mass-going Catholics, who often make a point of reminding voters of how important religion is in their lives.

By Maria Gallagher, LifeNews – An astute follower of politics recently called our office at the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation Political Action Committee. He wanted to draw our attention to a YouTube video from February… The Reuters video gained attention for a gaffe made by Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden. He mistakenly said that he was running for the U.S. Senate… But what the caller wanted me to notice was what Biden said afterward. Indeed, he encouraged voters to look him over and if they didn’t like what they saw, they should “vote for the other Biden.”

Catholic News Agency – Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Thursday that young children should be able to change gender identities without any “discrimination.”… Biden said that her eight year-old should be able to switch gender identities freely… “The idea that an eight year-old child or a ten year-old child decides, ‘you know I decided, I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be, it’d make my life a lot easier.’ There should be zero discrimination,” Biden said.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – The NY Post’s continuing bombshell story of emails found on a laptop presumably owned by Hunter Biden serves to confirm what everyone already knew — that Hunter was profiting from his father’s name and political position as the vice president… In short, it’s a pay-for-play corruption scandal, as Hunter Biden was hired in order to buy influence with Joe Biden.

CatholicVote, Oct 15, 2020 – Laura said of Barrett… ‘She has given me a gift of immeasurable value… the ability to live an abundant life’ WATCH!

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – After four days of hearings, the Senate Judiciary Committee has concluded its evaluation of Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who is possibly the most pro-life nominee to ever come before the panel… Democrats started the day desperately trying to derail the nomination. Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee defeated a motion by Democrats attempting to block a vote on Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination…

Associated Press (OneNewsNow) – President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden squared off, in a way, on rival TV networks, Thursday night, their scuttled second debate replaced by dueling televised town halls that showcased striking differences in temperament, views on racial justice and approaches to the pandemic that has reshaped the nation… NBC hosted President Trump at a town hall in Miami. Host Savannah Guthrie sounded more like a member of the Democratic party as she seemed to attack the President’s handling of the pandemic and made it sound like Trump has been unclear in denouncing white supremacy.

By Christine Niles, Church Militant – In what some are calling the biggest story in U.S. politics, emails prove Vice President Joe Biden lied about his knowledge of his son’s activities in Ukraine, and even benefited from them to the tune of 50% of all money his son received… The story in a nutshell: Hunter Biden was hired and paid up to $80,000 a month by Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, not for his expertise (he had none) but to buy political leverage and influence with his father, at the time vice president in charge of foreign policy in Ukraine. This is considered textbook corruption.

By Melanie Arter, CNSNews – President Donald Trump said Thursday that while he’s famous, he’s not more famous than Jesus Christ… He told supporters in Greenville, N.C., on Thursday that someone told him he’s the most famous person in the world… Trump disputed that, saying he’s not more famous than Jesus… “Somebody said to me the other day, you are the most famous person in the world by far, and I said ‘No, I’m not. No, I’m not,’” he said… “They said, yes, you are,” the president said.

By Monika Jablonska, Crisis Magazine – Pope John Paul II once said that, “In the designs of Providence, there are no more coincidences.” That is one way to explain why a Polish pope, dedicated above all to defending the dignity of the human person, would step onto the world stage just as the most powerful country on earth was about to elect a president, Ronald Reagan, unwaveringly committed to the cause of freedom. One became the spiritual leader of the world; the other the political leader of the free world. Both of them joined forces to overthrow Communism.

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – MRC President Brent Bozell released an open letter calling on Congress to address Facebook’s hypocrisy with regard to the pages on the site that get banned and those deemed uncontroversial. In this case, Facebook removed and banned groups connected to the QAnon conspiracy theory. Yet, the social media outlet does nothing to stop the radical Antifa organization. Bozell called it “a dangerous double standard of the gravest order.”

By Casey Chalk, Crisis Magazine – According to devotees of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s personality cult, the ideal Supreme Court Justice is many things. She’s well-educated and professionally successful. She’s articulate. She possesses gravitas. She balances career and family. She cares for the vulnerable. Yet Democratic senators and progressive pundits insist that Amy Coney Barrett is definitely not that woman. But, eager to avoid charges of anti-Catholic bigotry, they tell us it has nothing to do with her religion.

By Dewin Mora, Breitbart – An overlooked study published recently by the U.S. CDC suggests that cloth face coverings or masks are mostly ineffective in preventing the spread of the Chinese coronavirus as promoted by public health officials… The CDC conducted the study, largely ignored by the media, in the U.S. in July and made its findings public in September.

By Chad Groening, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – A tea party leader predicts President Trump will easily win his home state of Ohio on Election Day, a key victory for re-election, and two other political observers are predicting a Trump victory despite worrisome polls… Then-candidate Donald Trump handily won The Buckeye State 51-43 percent in 2016, scooping up 18 electoral votes on his way to the White House… Trump defeated Clinton by approximately 446,800 votes four years ago.

By Michael Brown, The Stream – During her interaction with California Senator Diane Feinstein on Tuesday, Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett used the forbidden term “sexual preference” with reference to LGBT sexuality. Not only did this cause an instant internet firestorm, but it apparently led to an instant adjustment in a major online dictionary. The term is now officially “offensive” when used in the sense of “orientation.”

By William Mahoney, Ph.D., Church Militant – A bombshell report reveals the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is funding organizations promoting the Biden-Harris presidential ticket… Lepanto Institute published a report on Tuesday showing that, through the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), the USCCB funds Faith in Action (FIA) — a national organization that has affiliates endorsing Joe Biden.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – For the second time in two days, Judge Amy Coney Barrett indicated that the infamous Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, which ushered in an era of virtually unlimited abortions claiming 62 million lives, is not a “super-precedent” that can’t be overturned… During a discussion with Sen. Graham, Judge Barrett acknowledged that Roe “is not super precedent” ….

By Stephen P. White, The Catholic Thing – The distinctiveness of Barrett’s faith – and the consternation it causes among the champions of certain secular pieties – is refreshing. It also underscores the indistinctiveness of so many Catholics who hold public office… The uncomfortable truth is that “being Catholic” in the U.S. no longer indicates a distinctive approach to politics. Even more concerning, from a Catholic point of view, is that “being Catholic” in America no longer indicates a distinctive set of religious practices. Indeed, the “mere” fact that someone is Catholic tells us next to nothing about the content of his or her religious beliefs.

By American Greatness – Tom Klingenstein explains why 2020 may be the most consequential election since 1860—and why President Trump is the man most uniquely suited to the moment… (he) describes the American political landscape under President Trump. “Trump is the perfect man for these times, not all times, perhaps not most times, but these times.”

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – Human rights advocates chalked up a partial victory in New York on Tuesday when Saudi Arabia failed to win a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council. But despite a strong lobbying effort China, Russia, Cuba, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan were ushered onto the world body’s top human rights watchdog for three-year terms beginning January 1.

By Anthony Esolen, Crisis Magazine – In my last article, I wrote that I would soon cast a vote against the party that promises to persecute the Church, and to subjugate all her schools, colleges, and beneficent organizations to an ideology that is fundamentally inhuman. I said also that that was no ringing endorsement for the other party… Several readers accused me of ingratitude. I take the accusation seriously.

By Beth Baumann, Townhall – These long lines aren’t about enthusiasm. How many Democrats are truly energized to vote for Joe Biden?… Very few… What these record-setting numbers should tell us is that Americans don’t trust the vote-by-mail system. They don’t trust the USPS to deliver their ballots to election officials in a timely manner, if at all. Others are concerned that their ballots will somehow be “forgotten” about in another room.

By Chris Woodward, OneNewsNow – A doctor among the hundreds of thousands who have signed a declaration against lockdowns tells OneNewsNow the World Health Organization (WHO) is not wrong for discouraging them… “We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Dr. David Nabarro, the World Health Organization’s special envoy on COVID-19, recently told The Spectator.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Apparently no criticism is off limits to leftists who want to stop Amy Coney Barrett from being confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, not even her young children… According to The Federalist, the Washington Post ran several pieces this month that attacked Barrett’s seven school-age children, including one that suggested they may have spread COVID-19 at their school.

By Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart – By Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart – An organization of radical left-wing activists has posted an online guide to “disruption” that outlines a plan to shut down the country and force President Donald Trump from power in the event that the 2020 election is too close to call… The guide, “Stopping the Coup,” available as a Google doc, is being circulated by a group called ShutDownDC. It casts its plan for disruption as a response to an imagined “coup” by the president in the case of a close election.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – President Donald Trump’s administration signaled its commitment to protecting life again this week in a proposed Department of Health and Human Services strategic plan… The plan states that HHS will serve Americans at “every stage of life, beginning at conception” and up through “natural death,” Opposing Views reports. While the new language will not affect abortion laws, it will help direct public policy under the Trump administration during the next four years… Unsurprisingly, abortion activists are outraged by the draft.

By Wesley J. Smith, The Stream – Oh, it’s still part of the First Amendment. But the First Amendment’s “free exercise of religion” clause is now more mirage than reality. The Supreme Court’s misguided 1990 ruling in Employment Division v. Smith turned it into an easy to assert but gossamer liberty protection… The case involved two Native American drug counsellors who were fired after ingesting peyote as part of a religious ceremony, and subsequently denied state unemployment benefits.

By Patrick J. Buchanan – Yet, tensions are rising between the U.S. and China, as the list of ideological, political and economic clashes continues to lengthen… And there is a transparent new reality: China seems in no mood to back down… When, after a year of demonstrations for greater democracy, the Hong Kong government failed to quell the uprising, Beijing stepped in and took control. The U.S.-led democracies that had been cheering on the Hong Kong marchers and protesters did nothing, and they have done nothing since …

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Judge Amy Coney Barrett delivered her opening remarks to the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning and she made two major points… First, she talked about the proper role of the courts, saying they are not supposed to make law and legislate from the bench. She also refused to back down to attacks from Senate Democrats on her faith, saying she strongly believes in prayer and thanked the many Americans who are prayer for her amid those attacks on her Christian faith.

By Kevin J. Jones, Catholic News Agency – Abortion is a “fundamental threat to the beginning of life itself” and Catholics can’t be passive on the “pre-eminent” human rights issue, the right to life, Bishop Felipe Estevez of St. Augustine has said in a pre-election letter to his diocese’s Catholics about the importance of conscientious political participation… He rejected the claim of those who say, “as a matter of faith, I am against abortion, but I cannot impose my belief on others.”

By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews – In their three-part paper, Dr. Casanova and Dr. Zabiega examine the coronavirus crisis as a medical phenomenon, a political disaster, and a grave danger for the future of humanity… A Catholic philosopher and a Catholic neurologist have written an essay laying out the medical and the political effects of the coronavirus. Their conclusion is that the manipulation of public panic is, in all but a few cases, more dangerous than the disease… Casanova and Zabiega stress that the lockdown is politically, not medically, motivated.

By Matthew J. Franck, Wall Street Journal – From Antonin Scalia to Amy Coney Barrett, opposition to Catholic nominees has been mainly about the politics of abortion, not their religious faith… If the Catholicism of a nominee is considered a plus by Republicans hoping for the demise of Roe, it is understandable that it should send shudders of apprehension through the ranks of Democrats, for whom abortion rights are now a nonnegotiable plank of their party’s platform.

By Bob Kellogg, OneNewsNow – There’s more evidence that the country’s public education system is failing to teach students about key events in world history, including the murder of six million Jews… A U.S. Millennial Holocaust Knowledge and Awareness Survey found that adults under 40 do not know much about the Holocaust. According to The Hill, public education is to blame.

By Brad Miner, The Catholic Thing – This is not about Christopher Columbus – at least not directly so. All I ever needed to know about the “Admiral of the Ocean Sea” I’ve learned from Robert Royal’s Columbus and the Crisis of the West… I’ll begin at the beginning: October 12, 1955. That was when Edoardo Alfieri’s statue of the world’s greatest sailor was unveiled in Columbus, a gift from the people of Genoa, Columbus, Ohio’s first “sister city.”

By Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D., Breitbart – Knoxville (TN) Bishop Rick Stika has once again questioned the integrity of Joe Biden’s Catholic faith, given his public support for abortion on demand… “A question for Mr. Biden. At your judgement before God, how will you explain changing your position about abortion and how will you explain promoting no limits and allowing all protections removed protecting the most innocent?”

By Andrea Picciotti-Bayer, EWTN News – President Trump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to become an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court has energized countless women across the country. They look at her achievements – balancing a professional career with raising several children – and, because, many of women are working mothers, they identify with her.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeSiteNews – Joe Biden told a reported this morning in an interview that American voters don’t deserve to know if he plans to pack the Supreme Court with radical leftists who will keep abortion on demand in place for decades to comes… “Well sir, don’t the voters deserve to know,” a reported started to ask… “No, they don’t deserve” to know, Biden retorted.

By David Sound, The Federalist – Many Republican nominees had been huge disappointments to me, and I wasn’t going to vote for yet another GOP candidate I thought would betray my trust. I couldn’t imagine Trump as a genuine conservative who would champion limited government, respect individual freedom and liberty, and protect the unborn — but was I ever wrong… . I’ve seen that he is a patriot who genuinely loves the United States of America and its people

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Drs. David Prentice and Tara Sander Lee, scientific experts on fetal tissue research, said the medicine that Trump received did not involve the destruction of human life… “No human embryonic stem cells or human fetal tissue were used to produce the treatments President Trump received – period,” they said Thursday, citing the medical research from the experiment… Trump has been a champion for life in the White House.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Missouri Bishop James V. Johnston Jr. joined Catholic leaders all across America this fall in urging voters to support candidates who will “protect the right to life” for all human beings… The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Johnston, who leads the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, wrote a letter Sept. 14 with advice for Catholics about voting in November… “A Catholic voter would do well to weigh a candidate’s position on each of these essential God-given rights that government has a duty to protect, beginning with the right to life,” the bishop wrote.

By Michael W. Chapman, CNSNews – In a tweet that links to an article about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s support for abortion without restrictions, Catholic Bishop Joseph Strickland, head of the diocese of Tyler, Texas, said that abortion is not “health care” and that killing a child in the womb by “dismemberment” is “evil.”… “We must speak against the fallacy that abortion is about a woman’s health care,” said the bishop. “Interrupting the natural process of pregnancy is actually a threat to a woman’s health.”

By CNA Staff – Cardinal Joseph Zen has rejected claims that the 2018 Vatican-China deal was approved in draft form by Pope Benedict XVI, and accused Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin of “manipulating” Pope Francis on the Church’s engagement with China… “I read the speech given by Cardinal Parolin,” Zen said. “It’s sickening!”… Zen said he was left to conclude that Parolin “told a series of lies with eyes open.”

By Declan Leary, Crisis Magazine – In a mid-September webinar on “The Church and Catholic Voters in the 2020 Election,” Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey, weighed in on a question often asked these days: Can a Catholic vote for Joe Biden?… Cardinal Tobin, long a stalwart of the U.S. Church’s liberal wing, dissented from the reigning consensus. “I think that a person in good conscience could indeed vote for Mr. Biden,” (Tobin) announced. “I, frankly, in my own way of thinking, have a more difficult time with the other option.”

By Francis X. Maier, First Things – Modern China is such a creature. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been very adroit at building its economic and military power, growing its global influence, and raising its people’s standard of living. It’s been equally skilled at keeping power, crushing all forms of religion it doesn’t control, and resisting democracy. Western hopes that capitalism would liberalize the Beijing regime have cratered. …

By Charles Robertson, LifeSiteNews – At an NBC Town Hall in Miami on October 5, former Vice President Joe Biden promised to “pass legislation” guaranteeing abortion on demand throughout all stages of pregnancy… Biden (said) while the outcome of Barrett’s nomination is still uncertain, “the only responsible thing to do would be to pass legislation making Roe the law of the land. That’s what I would do.”

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – “I couldn’t be more proud to serve as vice president to a president who stands without apology for the sanctity of human life,” VP Pence said. “I’m pro-life. I don’t apologize for it.”… “And this is another one of those cases where there’s such a dramatic contrast. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris support taxpayer funding of abortion all the way up to the moment of birth, late-term abortion”… “They want to increase funding to Planned Parenthood of America,” he continued. “Now for our part, I would never presume how Judge Amy Coney Barrett would rule on the Supreme Court of the United States. But we’ll continue to stand strong for the right to life.”

By Susan Jones,CNSNews – Forget about it, the Trump campaign’s Bill Stepian said in a statement: President Trump won the first debate despite a terrible and biased moderator in Chris Wallace, and everybody knows it. For the swamp creatures at the Presidential Debate Commission to now rush to Joe Biden’s defense by unilaterally canceling an in-person debate is pathetic. That’s not what debates are about or how they’re done.

By Trent Horn, Catholic Answers – Catholics must discern elected officials’ views on abortion and hold them accountable for them, which the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops calls “our preeminent priority.” We can do this by bearing in mind fives rules that Catholic politicians need to follow when it comes to abortion. These rules are based on what the Church has taught through offices such as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the USCCB, as well as magisterial statements.

By William S. Smith, Crisis Magazine – With the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court, Catholics should buckle their chinstraps for the torrential cascade of anti-Catholicism that will be belched up by her opponents. The vituperative attacks on Catholics will probably rival the Know-Nothing riots that rocked the nation in the 1840s and 1850s. But this time, there will be a role reversal: 19th-century Catholics were largely Democrats, whereas this time the attacks will be launched largely by Democrats.

By Steve Jordahl, OneNewsNow – In June, Chief Justice Roberts was the deciding vote allowing LGBT rights to be shoehorned into the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The very next day he led the liberal wing of the court in saying Barack Obama could decide children brought here by their illegal-immigrant families had a right to stay — but Trump had no legal right to undo Obama’s executive order… The next month, Roberts once again joined his fellow travelers on the left to allow abortion clinics in Louisiana to operate without the backup of an emergency room for injured women.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Pence said, “I’m pro-life. I don’t apologize for it.”… “I couldn’t be more proud to serve as vice president to a president who stands without apology for the sanctity of human life,” he said… Pence went after Harris and Joe Biden for supporting abortion on demand and taxpayer funded abortions – adding that they support abortions and abortion funding “up until the moment of birth.”… Pence and Trump has a long pro-life record.

By Michael Brown, The Stream – The article cited Biden’s response to a question about abortion rights, where he addressed the potential of Amy Coney Barrett becoming a Supreme Court justice. Should that be the case, he said, and should the court overturn Roe v. Wade, “the only thing, the only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making Roe the law of the land. That’s what I would do.”… This is in harmony with the Democratic platform, which plainly states, “We will repeal the Hyde Amendment, and protect and codify Roe v. Wade.”

By Randall Smith, The Catholic Thing – Amy Coney Barrett will be savaged, and we all know why. Her opponents are terrified that she will limit the abortion license, which allows even partial-birth abortions and infanticide of babies born alive during an abortion. They don’t oppose her because they think she will rule against them on gun control, taxes, or Obama Care.  The hearings have been inhumane of late because what is at stake is abortion.  One group views it as an “essential right.”  The other sees it as destroying human lives.

By Martin Barillas, Church Militant – Pope Francis’ new encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, embodies one of the guiding principles of Freemasonry — this according to Spain’s main Masonic lodge, the Gran Logia de España… the Gran Logia proclaimed that, in the 300 years of modern Freemasonry, it has been based on a “universal fraternity of human beings who call each other brothers and sisters despite their respective creeds, ideologies, skin color, social background, language, culture or nationality.”… In Fratelli Tutti, the pope embraces Universal Fraternity: the great principle of modern Freemasonry.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden promised Monday to pass legislation that could make the killing of unborn babies up to birth in abortions “the law of the land.”… Biden, though he claims to be a devout Catholic, supports Roe v. Wade and abortion on demand… “And the only thing, the only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making Roe the law of the land. That’s what I would do,” he added… Later, Biden posted a video of the exchange on Twitter, writing, “Roe v. Wade must remain the law of the land.”

By Fr. Kevin M. Cusick, The Wanderer – Amy Coney Barrett is every bit a good and worthy judge and will make a spectacular addition to the Supreme Court. But watch the knives come out in her upcoming nomination process hearings. Amy Barrett is dangerous to the irrational abortion mob, not because of her Catholic faith, but because it enshrines reason, the real threat which endangers Roe v. Wade.

By Patrick J. Buchanan – Sunday, with a crowd in front of Walter Reed loudly cheering for him, Trump commandeered an SUV and ordered it to drive by his followers so he could wave to them. In the front seat of the SUV, in masks and protective gear, were Trump’s Secret Service agents… The cumulative impact of these 10 days has been distracting at best and dreadful at worst. And the pressure from Trump, to get back to the White House and the campaign, suggests this is his take as well.

By Paul Smeaton, LifeSiteNews – Pro-abortion former Vice President and 2020 Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden has released a series of new campaign ads touting his supposed Catholic faith, in what one news outlet has described as “increasingly aggressive efforts to reach faithful voters.”.. The new campaign videos follow previous videos in which Biden highlighted his friendship with Pope Francis, and another video in which he says that he goes to Mass and says the rosary and that faith is what has helped him through the most difficult moments in his life.

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – What makes SCOTUS nominee, Amy Coney Barrett’s Catholic faith a “disqualifier” but Joe Biden’s a qualifier?… Biden, in fact, has called conservative Christians “the dregs of society.” … Nikitha Rai, deputy data director for Scranton Joe’s Pennsylvania operation, said, “I’d heavily prefer views like that not be elevated to SCOTUS, but unfortunately our current culture is still relatively intolerant. It will be a while before those types of beliefs are so taboo that they’re disqualifiers.

CNA Daily News – Pope Francis on Monday named Cardinal Kevin Farrell president of a committee to monitor internal Vatican financial decisions which fall outside of new accountability norms… Called the “Commission for Reserved Matters,” the five-member group is tasked with overseeing financial agreements which are exempted from Pope Francis’ new public contract law, promulgated June 1.

By Frank Wright, Ph.D., The Stream – Soros is also targeting his arch-nemesis, Donald Trump, for defeat in November, spending $52 million through June of this year to elect Joe Biden and other Democrats. Soros rails at Trump, calling him a “would-be dictator,” “con man and the ultimate narcissist.” The “fate of the world” Soros insists, hinges on the defeat of Trump, whom Soros likens to brutal North Korean tyrant Kim Jong-Un.

By Lianne Laurence, LifeSiteNews – The Vatican defended extending its 2018 controversial secret accord with Communist China after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned that doing so will endanger the Holy See’s moral authority… He said it has brought results and must be extended “so it can bear more substantial fruit.”… Parolin said there have been “misunderstandings” about the secret accord and that it does not deal with political matters but is a “pastoral document” that deals “exclusively” with the “delicate matter” of the appointment of bishops in China.

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – “Having access to birth control and safe reproductive healthcare was imperative in making that true for me,” said Cassidy Brown. “So, considering the new Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, what are your particular plans to protect women’s reproductive rights in the U.S.?”… “Number one,” began Biden, “we don’t know exactly what she will do, although the expectation is that she may very well move to over – overview – overrule Roe. And the only thing – the only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making Roe the law of the land.”… “That’s what I would do.”

By John Grondelski, National Catholic Register – There’s a reason that Mark Twain wrote the three falsehoods were “lies, damn lies, and statistics.” Once you get beyond above numbers you can count on your 10 fingers, they start getting abstract. Without first counting them out, try to imagine in your head a picture of even 12 people. Now count how many people are actually in your picture. My guess is that at least half of you will have imagined fewer or more.

By Tony Perkins, Family Research Council – Other men might have hidden behind their doctors’ assessments. President Trump has not. He’s taken every opportunity to reassure the American people. “We’re getting great reports,” he said, looking a little more like his old self on Sunday. “It’s been an interesting journey,” he admitted. “I learned a lot about COVID. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn’t the let’s-read-the-books school. And I get it. And I understand it.”

By Penny Starr, Breitbart – The nightly violence in Portland, Oregon, continues four months after it started as part of nationwide unrest following the death of George Floyd in police custody, but the media coverage seems to be dwindling… Byron York of the Washington Examiner speculates that is because the average American who may be voting in next month’s election might have made the connection between cities like Portland, Seattle, Washington, Washington, D.C. and Democrat leadership…

By Jennifer Hartline, The Stream – Catholics trying to make a “Catholic case” for Joe Biden is irrational. It makes as much sense as a case for a pacifist assassin or a meat-loving vegan, except it’s worse because it reduces the Christian faith to social causes and platitudes… Referencing the Catholic bishops’ “Faithful Citizenship” document, Our Sunday Visitor, Sam Rocha says, “Social realism also affirms the bishops’ teaching: ‘As Catholics we are not single-issue voters.’ Single-issue voting violates the principle of social realism.”… That’s a true statement as far as it goes, but Rocha fails to mention that Catholic teaching also clearly states that not all issues have the same moral weight or importance.

By Michael Brown, The Stream – … Americans feel in general… Trump is fighting for them… Trump is willing to expose the lying media. Trump is willing to take on the political establishment. Trump is willing to confront the radical leftists who want to disfigure our nation. Trump is willing to call out Big Pharma… When it comes to Christian conservatives, the feelings run just as deep. There are hostile forces that want to wipe us out… They despise our beliefs. They want to silence us in the public square. They want to indoctrinate our children in the schools. They want to steal our most fundamental liberties.

By Matt Vespa, Townhall – The history is long here, folks. Joe Biden said that 7-Elevens were dominated by those with Indian accents. Barack Obama was the first articulate black man to run for president. This election cycle, he told blacks who didn’t vote from him aren’t really black, said you can’t blame China for COVID because all Asians look alike… And now, Joe says that we, as a nation, see that the reason we can remain hunkered down at home is because…of those blacks who restock the shelves in grocery stores.

By Hadley Arkes,The Catholic Thing – The calls starting come in just after President Trump appeared at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in September. The president had taken the moment to announce an Executive Order meant to try anew to enforce the Born-Alive Infants’ Protection Act (2002), the Act that sought to protect babies who had survived abortions… The penalties, civil and criminal, had been stripped from that Act, to make it into a “teaching bill,” a bill that would plant premises in the law.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – President Donald Trump is (arrived at) the White House where he will stay for the remainder of his coronavirus quarantine period… “I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!” he said in a tweet.

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow – A conservative author and scholar says many Americans will vote Democrat this fall simply because it’s how they’ve always voted, but the events of this year may be what it takes to change minds… Liberal political pundits are boasting that Joe Biden was able to maintain coherency for the most part in last week’s first presidential debate against President Trump. And while the reliability of polls is highly questionable, many surveys show Biden leading in many swing states.

By Charles Coulombe, Crisis Magazine – It is in any case—as with the federal government—a reality, whether we like it or not. On the one hand, many of its various agencies are constantly pushing for “sexual and reproductive health services,” that is to say, abortion and contraception, and in recent years the gay agenda has also made great strides. Given that United Nations–generated documents are often seized upon by national governments to undermine existing mores, the work of those such as Austin Ruse and the Center for Family and Human Rights in combating these efforts within the organization becomes ever more important.

By Catholic News Agency – The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden will launch an ad campaign in swing states this month touting the candidate’s Catholic faith in both television commercials and a spot that will run on Catholic radio stations… The ads do not mention the candidate’s support for pro-abortion legislation and abortion funding, even while bishops in those states have emphasized that abortion policy is a preeminent issue in the presidential contest.

By Alexander Watson, CNS News – In a virtual speech at the Al Smith Dinner.. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said the tenets of Catholic social doctrine have guided him throughout his career, even though he is a staunch supporter of abortion and so-called gay marriage, which are condemned by Catholic teaching… “And throughout my life in public service, I’ve been guided by the tenets of Catholic social doctrine.”… “It cuts across all confessions of faith,” he said. “What you do to the least among us, you do unto me.”… “We have an obligation to one another,” said Biden. “We cannot serve ourselves at the expense of others.”

By George Neumayr, The Stream – The media’s skepticism about religion turns on and off depending on the figure under scrutiny. If it is a liberal, the media asks no questions. A Joe Biden can proclaim himself a devout Catholic and the media accepts that uncritically. But it suddenly grows inquisitive at the news of a conservative Catholic nominee for the Supreme Court. That Amy Coney Barrett follows her faith is “news”; that Joe Biden deviates from his faith isn’t.

By Sean Fitzpatrick, Crisis Magazine – The first presidential debate of the election cycle is often regarded as setting the stage for election night, where first impressions are made for November 3rd, and the candidates establish who they are with respect to one another and the voters. In what may be looked back upon as the most contentious and chaotic debate in the history of the presidential debates, Donald Trump brought his trademark braggadocio while Joe Biden appeared shaky and shellshocked by the President’s bluster.

By Dale M. Coulter, First Things – Amy Coney Barrett is the first charismatic Christian nominee for the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, the significance of this event has been overshadowed by anti-charismatic sentiments. Many have made bigoted claims about Barrett’s relationship to the ecumenical charismatic community People of Praise. Some have said that it is a cult, or that it inspired Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Bill Maher called Barrett a “f***ing nut” because “she’s really, really Catholic, like speaking in tongues.” 

By Pat Buchanan, Townhall – In their first debate, the president of the United States, challenged by the former vice president, performed poorly — even by his own estimation… If memory serves, an instant poll showed that the American people, by 47-43, thought Walter Mondale had bested Ronald Reagan in the Louisville debate where the president made such gaffes as citing the high cost of the military’s “food and wardrobe.”… By week’s end, reflecting the press commentary, 80% of the country was of the view that Mondale had crushed Reagan…

By Bradley Eli, M.Div., Ma.Th., Church Militant – Bishop Joseph Strickland is affirming that Fr. James Altman should be speaking out on the things Catholics need to hear… Asked by Terry Barber, president of Virgin Most Powerful Radio (VMPR) if he’d accept Altman into his diocese should the opportunity arise, Strickland immediately responded, “Absolutely.”.. “He would be absolutely welcome here. And I’m blessed to have many priests … who appreciate his speaking up and are trying to do their best to do the same thing,” added Strickland.

By Evita Duffy and Kylee Zempel – Chris Wallace and Democrats can keep pretending the right is to blame for the violence. But we were in Kenosha, talking to people on the ground. Voters know who the peaceful protesters are and who the rioters are… If Chris Wallace’s goal during Tuesday night’s debate was to deflect from the months of left-wing violence from Black Lives Matter extremists and Antifa and instead blame it on President Donald Trump and his supporters, he did an excellent job.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Evidence of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s strong pro-life convictions is growing… The Daily Beast reports Barrett, a judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, signed an open letter in 2006 that described abortion as “barbaric” and called for an end to Roe v. Wade… Barrett is President Donald Trump’s choice to fill the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died in September. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, she would solidify a strong 6-3 conservative majority on the high court.

By Declan Leary, Crisis Magazine – Picking up on the political utility of the label.. the Biden campaign has been hammering home “Joe’s Catholic roots” in a last-ditch effort to retain those voters who still attend Sunday services somewhere other than the Church of Woke. In response to this transparent politicking, some have pointed out that Biden spent a good chunk of the last century promoting such anti-Catholic policies as systematic infanticide, government-sanctioned sodomy, and high taxes. Biden, they say, cannot support these things and still be Catholic.

By Chad Groening, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – President Donald Trump is being praised for his debate night performance, in particular his comments on the pandemic and the crashed economy, while moderator Chris Wallace is getting called out for his glaring bias… “I could not be more happy with our president and the way that he handled himself,” Cathie Adams, of Eagle Forum… “He was not going to sit there and take it.”… Adams says many Americans could sympathize over Trump’s frustration with the China-created pandemic, and the mandatory shutdowns that have thrown millions out of work, as well as mandatory mask orders.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Pro-abortion groups are spending millions of dollars to try to stop Amy Coney Barrett from being confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court… The Hill reports some groups are spending twice the amount that they did two years ago when President Donald Trump nominated Justice Brett Kavanaugh… These include Demand Justice, a progressive pro-abortion group, which plans to spend $10 million on ads against Barrett, the report states. Its ads, scheduled to air in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and North Carolina, focus on the potential impact of Trump’s choice.

The archbishop praised the mayor “for recognizing that faith is essential.”

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – While reviews for both President Donald Trump’s and former Vice President Joe Biden’s performances in Wednesday night’s first presidential debate are largely negative, much of conservatives’ ire was focused on the apparent pro-Biden bias of the moderator, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace… The debate was a raucous affair, with Wallace frequently interjecting to try to get the candidates to stop talking over each other. Amid it all, though, many identified numerous instances of Wallace going well beyond that.

By Star Parker, Patriot Post – President Donald Trump just rolled out his new “Black Economic Empowerment Platinum Plan.”… The plan focuses on building on his achievements since 2016 to improve the lives of black Americans by creating more opportunity to participate in a growing economy and to achieve greater security in life and property… A poll by The Hill and HarrisX released almost a month ago, after the Republican convention, showed approval for Trump surging among blacks, to 24% — triple the 8% he got in the 2016 election.

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – Biden also invoked fears that Barrett could contribute to the Supreme Court overturning Obamacare and Roe v. Wade. While much of the segment was mired in arguments regarding tangential issues, particularly Obamacare, Trump responded by merely insisting that Biden’s prediction of the Court taking up Roe was premature, and that Biden did not know Barrett’s position on Roe …

By  Ryan Saavedra, Daily Wire – Fox News host Chris Wallace, a registered Democrat, faced intense backlash on Tuesday night for what was widely deemed as bias in the debate in the favor of Democrat Joe Biden and against Republican President Donald Trump… One of the issues that Wallace was called out for the most was how he appeared to let Biden interrupt Trump but would jump in to interrupt Trump when Trump would talk over Biden.

By Catholic News Agency – In a personal testimony of faith written in February 2018 for his home parish, St. Catherine of Siena in a suburb of New Orleans, Deacon Coney shared how “pivotal moments” of his life — both decisions and experiences — came to shape his life and his relationship with God… “They are not random,” Coney said of the pivotal moments in his life. “I firmly believe the Lord is close at hand drawing us through human events closer to him.”… One of the first moments that shaped Coney’s faith was the death of his mother.

By Bree A. Dail, EWTN News – Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun traveled to the Vatican again last week, unsuccessfully seeking an audience with Pope Francis… Had he been granted an audience, the 88-year-old Chinese cardinal — who himself served as Hong Kong’s bishop from 2002 until his retirement as a bishop in 2009 —intended to personally deliver a letter urging the Holy Father to appoint a new bishop for the troubled city of Hong Kong.

By Al Perrotta, The Stream – Moderator Wallace said before the debate he wanted to be invisible during the debate. He lied. Chris Wallace spent the 96 minutes working for Team Biden. From the opening gun, he would interrupt Trump, repeatedly he would stop Trump when Trump was scoring points. For long stretches, Wallace was the one debating Trump, not Biden.  He lost total control of the debate. Most shamefully, he allowed Joe Biden to go unchallenged on a series of slurs and lies, and blocked Trump from responding. 

By Edward Pentin, EWTN News – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrives in Rome Wednesday morning for talks with his Italian and Holy See counterparts — but unlike his visit to the Vatican last year, he won’t be meeting Pope Francis… The Vatican has reportedly told U.S. diplomats the Holy Father preferred not to meet the Trump administration’s top diplomat in order not to be seen influencing the U.S. presidential election.

By Patrick J. Buchanan – By nominating Federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Donald Trump kept his word, and more than that… Should she be confirmed, he will have made history… Even his enemies would have to concede that Trump triumphed where his Republican predecessors… a triumph that will affect the nation and the law for years, perhaps decades… Trump’s remaking of the Supreme Court for constitutionalism may well be the crown jewel of his presidency.

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – We are living in a pivotal era in American history. The outcome of the struggles of our time will color our constitutional republic either a triumph or a failure. But the way things are going, it seems the keys of the republic have been handed to her enemies dwelling within… While the nation was founded as a haven of freedom, Catholics have seen their share of persecution…

By Al Perrotta, The Stream – On Sunday evening, Project Veritas released footage demonstrating a massive voting fraud operation in Minneapolis run by associates of Squad Member Rep. Ilhan Omar. This includes video of one of the perpetrators —in a video he himself posted — boasting of his crime. “All these here are absentee ballots,” ballot broker Liban Mohamed says, flipping through stacks spread in his car. “Look at these, my car is full. My car is full.”…
