By Melanie Arter, CNSNews – … “The Biden Administration is in complete disarray and is handling the border crisis as badly as the evacuation from Afghanistan. I have directed the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to maintain their presence at and around ports of entry to deter crossings,” Abbott added.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – A federal judge has blocked Joe Biden’s emergency request to stop the Texas abortion ban, which has saved anywhere between 1,500 and 2,000 babies from abortion… The Texas heartbeat law went into effect Sept. 1, prohibiting abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable, about six weeks of pregnancy… US District Judge Robert Pitman in a one page decision this afternoon denying Biden’s request to block the law while the lawsuit against it continues.

By Randy Clark, Breitbart – A law enforcement source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tells Breitbart Texas that the unfolding Haitian migrant crisis is forcing the agency to shut down normal operations at all inland Del Rio Sector Border Patrol highway checkpoints. Staffing typically reserved for inspecting thousands of vehicles daily will be diverted to assist with the care, transport, and processing of 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants currently detained under the Del Rio International Bridge.

By Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist – A new leaked document shows the Biden administration flouting the regulatory process in order to push through a massive financial favor to the powerful and lucrative abortion industry that backed Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy with tens of millions of dollars… Less than two weeks after an already abbreviated period of time for the public to review and comment on the proposed regulatory change, Biden’s DHHS circulated a draft final rule that violates the clear language of Obamacare in order to benefit Planned Parenthood …

By David Cayley, First Things – I was alerted to what was coming at the end of July. Under the headline “The time for debating vaccines passports is over,” Globe and Mail health columnist André Picard wrote that “it would be irresponsible, not to mention politically and economically self-defeating, to not try limiting the intermingling of vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.” Two words struck me as particularly eerie: “intermingling,” and “population.” At that point, I had decided against vaccination on various grounds.

By Kate Olivera, CNA – Catholics are the most vaccinated religious group in the United States, according to a new national survey by the Pew Research Center… The survey of 10,349 U.S. adults found that 82% of self-identified Catholics had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, compared to 75% of religiously unaffiliated adults and 73% of White Protestants.

By Rita Peters, The Stream – This Constitution Day, we celebrate ideas written on parchment that have stood the test of time. The structure crafted by liberty-loving men in 1787 is still the world’s model for government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.”.. That said, we surely don’t do government today in the way the Framers expected. Here are the things I think would surprise them most… Career Politicians …

By Emmy Griffin, Patriot Post – On September 14, Lila Rose, president and founder of Live Action, stated that Google had banned all her company’s ads. Rose went a step further by saying Google is demonstrably choosing to side with “extremist pro-abortion political ideology” and that “Google’s censorship baldly reveals that the corporation is in the pocket of the abortion industry.”

By Hunter Bradford, Church Militant –
After winning the recall, Gavin Newsom gave a victory speech praising Californians’ pledge of support for perversion… Gavin Newsom: “We said yes to science. We said yes to vaccines. We said yes to women’s fundamental constitutional right to decide for herself what she does with her body.”… Newsom’s win means that the problems that both plagued the state and provoked the recall will remain, including restrictions on churches and school shutdowns.

LifeSiteNews Staff – Americans in many different fields of work are suddenly having to choose between taking an abortion-tainted, poorly tested, and dangerous coronavirus injection or being fired from their jobs. Students are also having their educational opportunities denied without proof of COVID-19 vaccination. As many conservative commentators on Twitter are pointing out, over the course of 18 months, “15 days to slow the spread” turned into “two shots to feed your family.”

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – Why then are Joe Biden’s various proposed vaccination mandates ignoring that scientific fact? Dr. Anthony Fauci, when asked, seemed at a loss for words… Is this yet another of the scientific community’s Platonic “noble lies,” as when last year Fauci assured the public there was no need for masks? He later claimed he had lied so that medical professionals would not run out of needed supplies… Fauci also seemed to throw out all sorts of mythical percentages needed for herd immunity …

Catholic World News – Francis insisted that “abortion is murder,” but cautioned against disciplining politicians who support the practice, in an airplane exchange with reporters who accompanied him on his flight home from Slovakia on Sept. 15… Explaining his reluctance to support Eucharistic discipline, the Pope said that across the history of the Church, “every time the bishops have not dealt with a problem as pastors, they have taken sides politically.”

By Susan Jones, CNSNews – Ivermectin is proving to be a “wonder drug” that is not approved for the treatment of COVID but should be, a pulmonologist told a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday… In an impassioned presentation, Dr. Pierre Kory, a physician at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee, begged the National Institutes of Health to review his study of Ivermectin, a drug that’s been around for decades and is used to treat parasites.

Newsmax – The Justice Department has asked a federal court in Texas to stop the enforcement of a new state law that bans most abortions in the state while it decides the case… The Texas law, known as SB8, prohibits abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity — usually around six weeks, before some women know they’re pregnant.

By Peter J. Leithart, First Things – I have a confession. I am not vaccinated. In his speech last week, President Biden was scolding me… The impatient Americans to which the president alluded can’t imagine a good reason to refuse the jab. I can think of several… I am among the millions of Americans who have natural immunity because I had COVID. …

By RSBN – Trump did not hold back in his response to the allegations which, if true, means Milley would have committed “treason,” he said… “So first of all, if it is actually true, which is hard to believe that [Milley] would have called China and done these things and was willing to advise them of an attack or in advance of an attack, that’s treason,” President Trump said during an interview with Newsmax’s Sean Spicer on Tuesday.

By Susan Jones, CNSNews – “It turns out that President Biden is becoming a habitual violator of the United States Constitution,” Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott told Fox News’s Sean Hannity Monday night… “You’ll recall that it was just recently that he said he did not have the authority to impose the moratorium on evictions, and yet he did it. And the courts ruled against him,” Abbott said.

By Michel Therrien, Crisis Magazine – What we have done with COVID-19 mandates, to reference Aquinas, is to subordinate the common good to the private good of individuals, thus making the common good an alien good for everyone else. We have done this by making a person’s individual life (a private good) an end, or final cause, to which every other good is ordered. The problem with this logic is that it leads directly to tyranny. In fact, for Aquinas, using law to direct people’s actions to the private good of individuals is the very definition of tyranny.

By Chris Woodward, OneNewsNow – A recent article in the journal Nature says COVID lockdowns are key to beginning “personal carbon allowances” – something the creator of “the go-to source for global warming information and analysis” calls frightening and realistic… The idea of personal carbon allowances (PCAs) is not new, but authors of the article say COVID-related restrictions have made people more prepared to accept tracking and limitations, which they claim could achieve a safer climate.

By C.C. Pecknold, The American Conservative – President Biden has lost patience. After months of telling Americans that vaccine mandates aren’t necessary, Biden announced on Thursday a federal vaccination mandate affecting 100 million Americans. Not only did he not bother to provide citizens with a coherent rationale, but the rationale he did provide seemed to suggest that the mandate was necessary because vaccinated people need to be protected from unvaccinated people

By Tony Perkins, Patriot Post – That infuriates doctors like Johns Hopkins Martin Makary, who says that regardless of what people think about the president’s Afghanistan withdrawal, one thing that’s “abundantly clear” is that “the White House is creating daily COVID headlines to distract from [it].” “The use of medical recommendations as a smoke bomb from other political problems is an unprecedented violation of the public trust in the medical profession. Please stop playing politics with COVID,” he urged.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – The effort to force war-weary Czarist Russia to reform into a constitutional monarchy ended up being kidnapped by a small but lethal clique of Leninist Bolsheviks. What ensued was the destruction of Russian life—and millions of corpses—over the next 70 years. Ditto Mao Zedong’s various murderous resets culminating in the cannibalistic “Cultural Revolution.” Mao’s final tab was 60-70 million deaths of his fellow Chinese.

By John C. Chalberg, Crisis Magazine – What do Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun, Stephen Douglas, James Buchanan, Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden have in common? All of course have been either Democratic presidents or presidential contenders spanning the long history of the oldest political party in continuous existence on the face of this earth.

By Josh Hammer, First Things – We have seen a tremendous amount of misinformation, disingenuousness, and unjustified hysteria this week in response to S.B. 8, Texas’s novel new heartbeat law, which bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. The Supreme Court, by a narrow 5-4 margin, denied various Texas abortion provider plaintiffs’ emergency request for the Court to enjoin any enforcement of the Texas Heartbeat Act.

By Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart – The New York Times published the results of an investigation on Friday that suggests the Biden administration targeted an innocent man who worked for a U.S. organization in a drone strike that killed several civilians. If true, the airstrike could constitute a violation of international law governing such targeted killings in wartime — in other words, a war crime.

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – Our woke National Archives now warns about potentially hurtful language within the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence… “Harmful Language Alert: see NARA’s Statement on Potentially Harmful Language.” That’s the language now appearing above the online version of the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Records Administration.

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – “President Biden is implementing a six-pronged, comprehensive national strategy” to combat COVID-19… on the White House website on a page titled “PATH OUT OF THE PANDEMIC” and subtitled “PRESIDENT BIDEN’S COVID-19 ACTION PLAN,” President Biden lays out six strategies. Each strategy employs specific federal government tactics, ranging from “requiring” employee and employer behaviors to actions that Biden is “calling on” states and employers to take …

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – “The Supreme Court has allowed a state law to stand that deputizes citizens, anyone, to proclaim themselves in a position to have a right under law to interfere with those choices that that woman has made,” Harris said. She called the Texas pro-life law “essentially an abortion bounty law, empowering vigilantes with a private right of action to interfere with a woman’s relationship with her health care provider.”… “We need to codify Roe v. Wade,” she said.

By Eric Sammons, Crisis Magazine – As we all know, Twitter is a cesspool of the obtuse, the oblivious, and the opinionated. Nothing brings out this unfortunate trifecta more than a blindingly obvious statement of fact. Recently, I tweeted through the Crisis Magazine twitter account: “Vaccine Mandates are contrary to Catholic moral teaching.”

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – COVID stimulus unemployment benefits often equated to $300 a week on top of state unemployment, meaning many individuals were receiving more money living on the dole than working, and they therefore avoided getting a job. Employers have raised wages to compete with the government for workers, but many remain on the sidelines in large part because inflation has eaten away at wage gains all year long.

By Un Fils de Notre–Dame, Church Militant – A recent Vortex about the “blundering bishops” and our national government featured the following statements: “The Catholic empire has fallen just as surely as the American empire has; in fact, the American empire has fallen because the Catholic empire fell first”.. “The U.S. hierarchy led the way, all the way back to the 1960s, publicly and in private”.. But, it was not always that way.

The Biden administration is retaliating against a recent gain for life with a plan to force abortion on every state… Joe Biden has launched what LifeNews.com calls a full federal government campaign to ensure that unborn babies will be killed in abortions… “This bill would eliminate almost every pro-life law that is in effect at the federal and state level,” Carol Tobias of the National Right to Life Committee tells American Family News. “They say it’s codifying Roe v. Wade; it will go even further.”

By Eric Mack, NewsMax – former President Trump said he rebuilt the U.S. military only to see it humiliated in Afghanistan… “That was a day like no other day,” Trump told Tuesday’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight” of 9/11 in an exclusive interview. “That’s why we have to be careful. That’s why we rebuilt our military. Unfortunately, they gave some of what I had rebuilt – we built it – they gave it to the Taliban. Can you believe that?”

By Art Moore, LifeSiteNews – Amid a flood of media reports conflating a veterinary version of the drug ivermectin with one for human use that is touted worldwide by physicians and in more than 100 scientific studies as a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19, a 74-year-old Vietnam War veteran died in Texas after a hospital refused to administer the drug in defiance of a court order, according to the family.

By Roger Helle, Patriot Post – It would be disingenuous of me to lay all the blame entirely on our political elites. This did not happen suddenly or in a vacuum. This is a result of a lack of spiritual courage taking place for decades now that left a vacuum, which was quickly filled by leftist politicians.

By Nicholas Fondacaro, Media Research Center – In an overnight bombshell on Monday, The Intercept published a report and documents exposing how the U.S. National Institutes of Health funneled taxpayer money to laboratories in Wuhan, China so they could do experiments with coronaviruses. It was the truth that Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly lied to the Senate about while under oath.

By Jason Scott Jones, Church Militant – It was at The Stream that my friend and co-writer John Zmirak proposed a bold and surprising thesis: namely, that Pope Francis’ deal with China (negotiated by accused sexual abuser Ted McCarrick) was not a surrender but an alliance. That alliance only deepened in subsequent months. Francis sent his right-hand man, Bp. Marcelo Sorondo, on a shepherded tour of China. ..

By Dan Gelernter, American Greatness – We all remember the Supreme Court’s disgraceful and disgusting behavior following the 2020 elections. Before the election was certified, the justices didn’t want to interfere with an ongoing process. After the election was certified, they refused to hear the election fraud cases because they said it was now a moot point—the election was a fait accompli.

By Tom Gilson, The Stream – I’d thought I had my eye on America’s shifting culture. I’d seen its troubling new realities: gay marriage, university grievance studies, snowflakes on campus, socialism, Black Lives Matter, and more. But I hadn’t seen what tied it all together… I’d put it all down to human pride, greed, and appetites out of control, including the lust for power — old-fashioned sin, in other words, with ignorance in there to boot, the kind that comes from intellectual and moral laziness.

By Conrad Black, American Greatness – Joe Biden is not up to the job. Barring a miracle (and they do occur sometimes), he will not go on for three-and-a-half years. The powers that be in the Democratic Party appear already to be trying to shuffle the vice president out of the deck and bring in someone who might be able to hold the commanding heights of American government through what is building up to be a broad consensus for radical changes of personnel and policy.

By Suzan Sammons, Crisis Magazine – In the unfortunate battle between Catholics who promote the COVID-19 injections and those who oppose them, several specious arguments have arisen. Proponents point to a long list of commonly used medications they say were also developed or tested using the cells of HEK-293. This is a fetal stem cell line propagated from an aborted baby whom those who care about the humanity of children named Johanna (she was a person not a licence plate number).

By David McLoone, LifeSiteNews – Despite rushing to administer the hastily developed jabs to the public last year, rolling the shots out under the EUA protocol, Fauci claimed that delaying the release of a Moderna booster shot is a safety precaution that must be taken because “when you’re dealing with allowing the American public to receive [a medical] intervention, you want to make sure you are absolutely certain [of its safety].”

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – The rhetorical battle among the American Catholic bishops is heating up. Sooner or later, some bold bishop is actually going to do something about Catholic politicians who promote unrestricted abortion… Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco has once again challenged those politicians—and his fellow bishops—with an op-ed that appeared in the Washington Post. Decrying the continued slaughter of the unborn, he wrote …

By Kennedy Hall, LifeSiteNews – A GoDaddy spokesman said in an email to the New York Times and The Verge, “We have informed prolifewhistleblower.com they have 24 hours to move to another provider for violating our terms of service.”… “Too bad for the mob: We will not be silenced,” Texas Right to Life responded. “Anti-Lifers hate us because we’re winning. We’re transferring our assets to another provider and will have the site restored within 24-48 hours. Come back soon.”

By CNSNews.com Staff – Nancy Pelosi put out a statement calling the Supreme Court “cowardly” for not issuing an injunction to stop enforcement of a Texas law, which went into effect on Wednesday, that prohibits aborting babies who have a detectable heartbeat… “The Supreme Court’s cowardly, dark-of-night decision to uphold a flagrantly unconstitutional assault on women’s rights and health is staggering,” said Pelosi.

By Robert Kraychik, Breitbart – Biden’s margin of victory in Wisconsin was approximately 20,000 votes despite the number of ballots “missing or undeliverable” in the state amounting to 83,000, von Spakovsky noted… “Remember the margin of victory in Wisconsin was only 20,000 votes, and that basically 82,000 ballots were either lost or undeliverable or were rejected,” von Spakovsky said on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. “That’s four times the margin of victory.”

By Andrew Mark Miller, Fox News – The U.S. government has reportedly lost touch with thousands of illegal immigrant children whom they released from custody… According to data obtained by Axios via a Freedom of Information Act request, roughly on-in-three calls made to migrant children who had been released to their sponsors between January and May of this year went unanswered, suggesting the United States is not adequately protecting those children from harm.

By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNSNews – President Joe Biden put out a statement today condemning the Supreme Court’s decision not to issue an injunction to immediately stop a Texas law (SB 8) that seeks to prevent the abortion of babies who have a detectable heartbeat–which generally occurs at six weeks into pregnancy.

By Molly McCann, The Federalist – The Western world is living a massive COVID lie. That lie is strangling the life out of liberty, and it will destroy our constitutional order if we do not end this horrifying charade… If COVID ever were an emergency, it is no longer one now, and it has not been for a long time. It is a nasty disease, to be sure, but it is one that we are going to have to live with and learn to treat.

By Matt Hadro, Catholic News Agency – President Joe Biden on Thursday announced a “whole-of-government” response to “ensure” abortion access in Texas, after the state’s pro-life law went into effect on Wednesday… In a Thursday statement, the president – a Catholic – directed his administration to examine “what steps the Federal Government can take to ensure that women in Texas have access to safe and legal abortions.”

By Jordan Davidson, The Federalist – The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Texas law that protects babies who have a detectable heartbeat from being aborted in the Lone Star State… In a 5-4 decision, the highest court in the nation declined to block Texas’ newest abortion law despite protests from Planned Parenthood, other abortion activists, and even journalists….

By John Solomon, Just the News – Two powerful pieces of evidence emerged this week that strongly suggest the Afghan exit wasn’t just a case of incompetence but rather an intentional effort to use PR lipstick to disguise a Biden plan that was secretly willing to accept chaos and stranded Americans as a possible outcome to avoid further military casualties during the exit.

By John Zmirak, The Stream – Pro-choicers aren’t what they imagine themselves to be. No, these people aren’t skeptical, rationalistic sophisticates. It’s not that they’re too well-read, and maybe jaded, to respect our old-fashioned notions of the “sacred.” They’re not too “scientifically minded” to observe ancient taboos. They aren’t excessively moved by a post-Christian vision of boundless personal liberty. Not one pro-choicer on earth believes in a “seamless garment” of bodily autonomy. (Just ask him about vaccines and labor safety laws.)

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow – Gary Bauer… said prayer is important, but it needs to be followed by action from Christians who never get involved in politics… “If America goes down, the world will sink into another dark age… You’ve got to be involved! Register to vote. Pay attention! Use what’s happening to talk to family members that maybe thought when they voted for Biden or didn’t vote that this kind of liberal approach would work. Point out to them what’s happening and the increased danger that they’re in.”

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – Biden and the Pentagon have managed to birth a new terrorist haven, destroy much of U.S. strategic deterrence, and alienate our allies and much of the country… In the hours after the horrific deaths of 13 servicemen, we have been reassured by our military that our partnership with the Taliban to provide security for our flights was wise.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Wednesday is a big day for Texas. The new state heartbeat law, which could save tens of thousands of unborn babies from abortion every year, is slated to go into effect. Unless pro-abortion groups succeed in their emergency appeals Tuesday, Texas will be the first state in America to enforce a heartbeat law… The pro-life law, which Gov. Greg Abbott signed in May, prohibits abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable, typically about six weeks of pregnancy. Exceptions are allowed if the mother’s life is at risk. Unique from other heartbeat laws, the Texas legislation includes a private enforcement mechanism that allows people to file lawsuits against abortionists who violate the law.

By Betsy McCaughey, Patriot Post – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a guide last week for “Inclusive Communication,” cautioning against using words like prisoner, smoker, illegal immigrant, disabled or homeless, which the agency says could imply blame or stigma… The guide’s opening line says, “We must confront the systems and policies that have resulted in the generational injustice that has given rise to health inequities.” The CDC is now about fighting injustice, not disease.

By Jennifer Roback Morse, The Stream – The U.S. Department of Justice recently released a special “Back to School” message on its YouTube channel. Why, you may ask, is the Department of Justice, the top law enforcement establishment in the most powerful country in the world, producing a back-to-school message?… They are welcoming the “transgender students.” Superficially, it looks warm and friendly. But beneath the surface lies a masterpiece of sexual-revolutionary propaganda: This is the Sexual State at work.

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – The last U.S. military aircraft flew out of Kabul at 3:29 eastern time on Monday – a minute before midnight in Kabul – drawing a line under a 17-day evacuation mission marking the culmination of President Biden’s bid to end America’s longest war… “Tonight 12:00 pm (Afghanistan time) the last American soldier left Afghanistan. Our country gained full independence,” tweeted Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheeh. “Praise be to Allah.”

By Michele McAloon, The Catholic Thing – Since 2001, almost 3 million members of the military have served in post-9/11 war operations in Afghanistan and Iraq… The psychological wounds of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have proved deadlier than actual combat. Four times as many than died in combat have died by the taking of their own lives. Over 30,177 service members and veterans of the post-9/11 wars have committed suicide.

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine – What we have done to ourselves in allowing this to happen, what we have allowed to be done to the Afghans we promised to protect, is unspeakable. We have dishonored ourselves before the world… let us at least remove the people responsible for this catastrophe, beginning with the President and the whole wretched crowd of his advisors, including especially those buffoons in uniform whose incompetence has been amply demonstrated in the course of this disaster.

By Steven Mosher, LifeSiteNews – If you thought that President Joe Biden sent the 82nd Airborne to Kabul to make sure that all Americans were evacuated, you would be mistaken. The vast majority of those who have been evacuated are Afghanis, and now Americans are being left behind. As Logan herself later tweeted, “All that stands between these Americans and safety/home is the US govt and military.”

By Victor Davis Hanson – When Joe Biden now threatens al-Qaeda, ISIS-K, and others with revenge, he sounds, unfortunately, more like the ridiculous Joe of “Corn Pop” braggadocio with his weaponized chain, or Joe taking Trump behind the gym to womp on him, or young Joe Biden slamming the mouthy kid’s head on the lunch counter. Speaking softly with a club is preferable to being loud with a twig.

By John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist – The deadly attacks in Afghanistan should be the final straw for Biden, whose incompetence has now cost the lives of at least a dozen American soldiers… Joe Biden is not capable or competent to hold the office of the presidency. If there were any doubt on this point, his press conference Thursday evening in the wake of a pair of coordinated suicide bombings in Kabul should put the matter to rest.

By William Mahoney, Ph.D., Church Militant – The Justice Department is starting to walk back rhetoric on its Capitol Hill breach probe. In the weeks following the Jan. 6 event on Capitol Hill, the Justice Department quickly launched its narrative of White supremacists trying to overthrow the government. But Church Militant’s William Mahoney looks at how facts are forcing a dramatic shift in that tone.

By Michael W. Chapman, CNS News – In statements and remarks released yesterday and today, both Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said President Joe Biden’s ruinous withdrawal from Afghanistan and the ISIS-K terrorist attack that killed 13 U.S. service members in Afghanistan indicate that Biden is “not fit to lead,” and the Cabinet should consider removing him from office through the authority of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution… Hawley specifically said Biden “must resign.”

By John-Henry Westen, LifeSiteNews – John-Henry speaks with LifeSite journalist Celeste McGovern, who just came out with a 10-point article pointing out what’s the real agenda behind the FDA’s Pfizer COVID jab “approval.” (WATCH)

By Al Perrotta, The Stream – The nation is in grief. The nation is in fury… But the sun rose this morning, God is in His heaven, and so we soldier on… Americans had to wait all day and toward the evening before Joe Biden said anything about yesterday’s bombings in Kabul. I half expected him to dismiss the attacks. “That was 10 hours ago!”… Instead it was back to the “we inherited a situation” business. And a threat to “anyone who wishes American harm” so hollow you can fill it with marshmallow cream.

By John Solomon, Just the News – Arizona AG Mark Brnovich has ordered Maricopa County to comply with a state Senate subpoena and turn over its election routers to auditors or risk losing millions of dollars in state aid… He warned any further delay by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) would result in a substantial financial penalty… Maricopa County gets about $700 million in state funds a year.

By CNSNews.com Staff – Update: The number of U.S. fatalities in Thursday’s attack has risen to 13, after the death of an additional service member injured in the bombing. Another 18 were wounded, according to U.S. Central Command… ISIS terrorists today launched an attack on one of the gates to the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan today, killing 12 U.S. service members and wounding 15 more, according to Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command.

By Henry Rogers, LifeNews – Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi celebrated Women’s Equality Day in San Francisco, California, on Thursday, while at least 12 U.S. service members have been killed in Afghanistan… Pelosi sent out a tweet just hours after the 12 service members were killed, saying “Join me live in San Francisco with Mayor London Breed, elected officials and community leaders to commemorate Women’s Equality Day,” and sharing a video of an event where she was present.

By Casey Chalk, Crisis Magazine – Mainstream corporate media have been all over a recent U.S. Census Bureau report noting that Americans identifying as white have declined in numbers for the first time on record, while the Hispanic and Asian populations experienced significant growth in the past decade. Though this has, of course, provoked many predictable commentaries on race in America …

By Julie Kelly, American Greatness – As of midafternoon on Thursday, several hours after the killing of innocents began, Joe Biden still had not addressed the nation to mourn the devastating loss of life—including at least 12 American troops—from terror attacks near the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan… His lengthy absence on the deadliest day for the U.S. military in a decade was in sharp contrast to his conduct on January 6, 2021.

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – Contrary to claims in the mainstream media, the USFDA has not granted full approval to Pfizer’s current COVID-19 vaccine but only extended its existing Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)… On Monday, the FDA wrote to Pfizer stating it is “reissuing the August 12, 2021, letter of authorization in its entirety with revisions incorporated to clarify that the EUA will remain in place for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.”… Under the new arrangement, Comirnaty has no liability shield and victims of the Comirnaty jab could potentially sue for damages.

American Life League – ALL president Judie Brown issued the following statement regarding the FDA’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine and the ongoing efforts of the USCCB push to refuse religious exemptions for the COVID-19 vaccine… “Safe should not be the equivalent of mandatory. While the FDA recently approved the Pfizer vaccine, there are multiple reasons why Catholics can and ought to have a moral objection to certain vaccines, particularly those using human embryonic cells in their testing and/or their development.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – For nearly two years, Americans have engaged in a great woke experiment of cannibalizing themselves. American civilization has invested massive labor, capital, and time in an effort constantly to flagellate itself for not being perfect… Yet neither America’s resilience nor its resources are infinite. We are now beginning to see the consequences of what happens when premodern tribalism absorbs Americans.

By Liberty Counsel, LifeNews – Today, Liberty Counsel has filed a lawsuit on behalf of more than 2,000 health care workers against Governor Janet Mills, health officials of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and five of Maine’s largest hospital systems Maine Health, Genesis Healthcare of Maine, LLC …

By James R. Stoner, Public Discourse – To those who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence, political liberty and natural law went together: Nature summons man, individually and collectively, to self-government and guides him in the exercise of his power of choice… No public document gives more prominence to the idea of natural law, nor relies more crucially upon natural law as a premise, than the Declaration of Independence.

By Paul Brock, Church Militant – On Sept. 22, 2018, a secret deal was signed by the Holy See and the People’s Republic of China, and the now-infamous Vatican-China accord was initiated by the Pope himself… The subject matter of the so-called breakthrough — which was denounced by faithful Catholics as a sellout — was the appointment of bishops.

By Oliver L. North & David L. Goetsch, Patriot Post – By now, every witting person on earth knows the credibility of the U.S. has been disasterously damaged by events in Afghanistan. Thousands of American civilians are stranded and being held hostage by radical Islamic terrorists. Tens of thousands of brave Afghan allies are being hunted down and brutally murdered… Pres. Joe Biden is singularly responsible for this catastrophe. His incoherent press conference on Friday, Aug. 20 was a frightening example of the alternative reality Biden inhabits.

By Chris Woodward, OneNewsNow – Ohio attorney Thomas Renz says tens of thousands of people have died from the shots… “We submitted to federal court, based on a whistleblower’s testimony or declaration, that there were at least 45,000 at the time that we submitted it… Since then, I’ve got a number of people who are statistics gurus and analysts and such that have been looking at that, and obviously the number has gone up since then, but they’re estimating that even at the time, the number was quite a bit higher. I think it’s very safe to say it’s well over 100,000.”

By CNSNews Staff – After the FDA gave full approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine today, President Joe Biden made a video statement calling on businesses to require their workers to get vaccinated… Biden: “Do what I did last month, require your employees to get vaccinated or face strict requirements. As I said last week, vaccination requirements have been around for decades. …”

By Robert G. Marshall, Catholic Culture – Note that on Meet the Press (8/8/21), Dr. Fauci said “…you’re going to see the empowerment of local enterprises giving mandates…colleges, universities, places of business, a whole variety.… You want to persuade them…. But for those who do not want, I believe mandates at the local level need to be done.” Fauci says the Delta variant is the reason for supporting vaccine mandates.

By Arnold Ahlert, Patriot Post – On August 3, New York City’s Bill de Blasio announced that vaccine passports would become a way of life in the Big Apple. “We know that strong, clear mandates help,” de Blasio stated during a press conference announcing his “Key to NYC” initiative. “If you’re vaccinated, you have the key. You can open the door. If you’re unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be allowed to participate in many things.”

By Kristine Marsh, LifeNews – As President Biden epically fails in trying to clean up his Afghanistan debacle, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace has responded in kind by turning her show into state-run TV.

By Matt Vespa, Townhall – What a mess. What an absolute mess… Biden hasn’t taken any questions. He thought he could just ignore this at the outset. His own press secretary was on vacation as Afghanistan collapsed. And after initial remarks, he shuffled away back to Camp David. Incompetence thy name is Joe Biden.

By Judy Roberts, EWTN News – Amid a wave of new vaccine mandates being rolled out by businesses and institutions in response to the spike, Catholics who morally object to the vaccines are finding themselves at odds with those who think the ethical obligation to protect public health should be the foremost consideration.

By Bradley C. S. Watson, The Federalist – America’s Founders understood political change is inevitable. They thought it must come about through constitutional mechanisms, with the consent of the governed, and must never infringe on the natural rights of citizens… Progressives – rejecting the idea that any rights, including the right of consent to government, are natural – accept no such limits.

By Ken Blackwell, The Stream – If the election integrity measures recently enacted in Georgia’s SB 202 had been in place in November, Perdue would have exceeded 50% and that election would have been over. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would not control the Senate floor, and Republicans would chair every Senate committee with a majority on each committee. America’s future would not hang on every word uttered by Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).

By Rep. Steve Scalise & Rep. Kay Granger, LifeNews – In 1994, a prominent senator said, “Those of us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay for them.” That senator was Joe Biden… Then-Sen. Biden was a part of a strong bipartisan coalition defending the unborn and protecting anti-abortion voters from paying for abortions. But Biden has surrendered to extremists in the abortion industry, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi …

By Kennedy Hall, LifeSiteNews – Dr. Byram Bridle made his remarks as politicians and health officials in the US, including Joseph Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci, and elsewhere claim that unvaccinated people are to blame for the current levels of hospitalizations and cases associated with COVID-19… Laura Ingraham asked Bridle whether or not it is fair to say that there is not a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” or if it is the mass-vaccination campaign that is fueling the arrival of new variants… “Absolutely it’s untrue to be calling it a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” the doctor said.

By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNSNews – The annual threat assessment that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released this April did not present an optimistic vision for the future of Afghanistan… “The Taliban is likely to make gains on the battlefield, and the Afghan Government will struggle to hold the Taliban at bay if the coalition withdraws support,” the assessment said.

By Leo Hohmann, LifeSiteNews – I’ve explained in previous articles the significance of digital passports, who is promoting them and what type of society the powers behind this technology wish to create… Many of those articles left me mentally exhausted and research weary… But if those were penned from the head, this one’s from the heart… I decided I could not live with myself if I didn’t put out a no holds barred assessment of the diabolical nature of what is now overtaking the earth… Truth is, a color revolution was successfully orchestrated in the United Sates in November and December of last year. This opened the door for global power elites who hate America and everything it stands for to make their final desperate move for total control over humanity.

By Aidan O’Connor, Church Militant – Catholics will have a hard time forgetting 2018’s “summer of shame,” marked by revelations exposing former-cardinal Theodore McCarrick’s massive sex abuse scandal. But documents are now coming to light revealing McCarrick’s dealings with corrupt politicians and communist regimes… In 2013, then-cardinal McCarrick spoke at two events organized by the China Energy Fund Committee (or CEFC), a company owned by China’s Communist Party.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – The collective madness that ensued from the pandemic, the quarantine, the self-induced recession, the George Floyd killing and subsequent months of exempted riots, the election year, and the resurgence of variants of the Chinese-engineered coronavirus, all ignited the fuse of formerly inert socialist dynamite. And the ensuing explosion of revolutionary fervor in just a few months has made America almost unrecognizable.

By Chris Woodward, OneNewsNow – “… Every parent everywhere needs to stand guard,” she continues. “[Every parent everywhere] needs to be combing through their child’s curriculum, looking at their child’s school policy regarding facility use and other sports policies, and be ready to stand as a protector for their own child’s privacy rights.”

By Aidan O’Connor, Church Militant – Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas is mandating COVID-19 jabs. In a letter released last week, Bp. Seitz announced COVID shots are required for parish employees and volunteers. The diocese confirmed those who refuse vaccination will be terminated… In his letter, Bp. Seitz made an exception for those with medical exemptions but didn’t acknowledge the experimental jab’s connection to aborted fetal cells. Meanwhile, the bishops of Colorado released a statement condemning vaccine mandates.

By Matt Vespa, Townhall – ‘Get the shot but keep wearing a mask.’ You all heard it for weeks from these clowns. Why? People will question whether the vaccine works. That’s what comes from these sentiments. They didn’t care and now tens of millions are simply refusing to get vaccinated. You can’t blame Trump. You can’t blame Ron DeSantis. Young black NYC residents don’t trust the government, but it’s not just them… It’s a mess that only liberal America could make.

By Aidan O’Connor, Church Militant – Dr. Martin Kulldorff: “Those who are pushing these vaccine mandates and vaccine passports (sort of vaccine fanatics, I would call them), to me, they have done much more damage during this one year than the anti-vaxxers has [sic] done in two decades.”…

By Father Raymond J. de Souza, EWTN News – Andrew Cuomo represented a new generation of the liberal Catholic politician… His Catholic significance is that he no longer judged it necessary to make arguments about how to reconcile his Catholic faith with his embrace of the extreme abortion license. He simply sacrificed his faith to his politics and got on with the pursuit of power.

By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNS News – “Universal pre-K. I love that because it’s children learning, parents earning,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at an April 29 press conference… That was the day after President Joe Biden had presented Congress with his euphemistically titled “American Families Plan,” which calls “for free universal pre-school for all three- and four-year-olds.”

By John Solomon, Just the News – Days before last Thanksgiving, Andrew Cuomo was bestowed an Emmy, the prestigious Founders Award from the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The media glowed about his “masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world” with his daily pandemic briefings… Exactly nine months later, he will be resigning Aug. 24 as New York governor in the disgrace of multiple scandals.

By Taynia-Renee Laframboise, The Catholic Thing – But we ourselves must learn from history. By seeing the world fail to unite against (Hitler) (in an effort that would have cost very little), he was emboldened to expand his evil machinations and genocidal plans across Europe. Yes, Hitler was eventually defeated, but at great cost. And far too late. Moved with remorse, the world solemnly swore “never again.”

By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – The U.S. economy created a robust 943,000 jobs in July, the best total since last August. In completely unrelated news, enhanced unemployment benefits ended in many states and will for all states in September, and until the last minute most tenants were operating under the presumption that they’d actually have to start paying rent or face eviction. We kid about this being unrelated, of course. These are the reasons people are finally going back to work. They have to.

By Paul Brock, Church Militant – In defining what liberalism is, Sardà starts with Protestantism, saying it “naturally begets toleration of error.” He continues, saying ,”Liberalism denies the absolute jurisdiction of Jesus Christ. … It’s the supreme rebellion against the authority of God and His Church.”… After carefully examining both (Sardà’s) books, the Vatican not only sided with Sarda, but declared: “Dr. Felix Sardà merits great praise for his exposition and defense of the sound doctrine therein set forth with solidity, order and lucidity.”

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is calling on Americans to rebel against efforts by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (R-Calif.) and Pres.

By Joe Kovacs, LifeSiteNews – The EO would permit the National Guard to be brought in to deal with ‘certain health care and emergency services operations,’ while temporary quarantine facilities could be built… An EO signed quietly by Tennessee’s Republican governor is troubling some Americans as it greenlights the National Guard and State Guard to implement quarantines and involuntary commitment of citizens “in connection with certain health care and emergency services operations,” with the governor specifically concerned about “an increase in COVID-19 cases.”

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – Vatican City is imposing a vaccine passport that will exclude unvaccinated persons and enforce institutionalized coercion and discrimination in violation of the Nuremberg Code, Italian constitution and a recent Council of Europe resolution… Pope Francis has downloaded his so-called Green Pass and extended the imposition of the draconian Italian diktat to sovereign Vatican territory…

By Kevin J.

By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – Democrats and big companies are increasingly using the “stick” approach to vaccination… To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?

I will not stand by quiet,” Boebert declared. “I say Planned Parenthood can go fund themselves.”… The abortion giant has received well over a half billion dollars from the federal government, even though it has proven itself capable of raising its own funds.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – “There is no basis for a priest to issue a religious exemption to the vaccine.” That is the message from the top brass of the New York archdiocese… That message is wrong: factually wrong, theologically wrong, morally wrong… The archdiocesan memo cited the “directives” of Pope Francis, who—the chancery officials noted—has said that it is “morally acceptable” to take the Covid vaccine. “Cardinal Dolan has said the same”

By Trey Blanton, Church Militant – Just months after Cuomo was sworn into the governor’s seat in 2011, he signed a bill enshrining so-called same-sex marriage in state law. Cuomo said at the time, “What this state said today brings this discussion of marriage equality to a new plane. That’s the power and the beauty of New York. The other states look to New York for the progressive direction.”

By Spencer Lindquist, The Federalist – A subset of children growing up today will likely recall certain aspects of their childhood very differently. The left has, with a startling degree of success, endeavored to reshape our society by embedding their beliefs within the experience of childhood, overshadowing 4th of July parades with Pride parades, implanting LGBT propaganda in children’s shows, and supplanting gingerbread men with the “genderbread person.”

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – Joe Biden’s border crisis has reached critical levels, as demonstrated by the ever-increasing numbers of illegal aliens flowing over the southern border. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents encountered a 21-year high of 210,000 illegal border crossers in July — now more than a million in the last six months have responded to Biden’s open border invitation.

The proposed law would prohibit so-called discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, as well as natural hairstyles… Fr. Peter Ascik, pastor of St. Mary Help of Christians Parish in Shelby, is warning people against what appears to be an innocuous ordinance.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – During a news conference Wednesday, Jackson said radical pro-abortion groups are trying to silence him, according to the Tyler Morning Telegraph… “The left is so used to the idea of having an activist judge that they believe any judge can be bought, bullied, or beaten into submission or resignation,” he said. “Make no mistake this lawsuit is a direct attack by far-left groups on the rule of law and the right of pro-life communities to elect people who share their values.”

By Michael F. Haverluck, OneNewsNow – The pro-life organization stressed how Biden directly counters the university’s biblical values that have been championed by its founders – the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati… “What compassion and charity is shown the unborn when the university hosts a president who claims to be a Catholic, yet has the most pro-abortion administration in the history of our country?” Right to Life Cincinnati posed in a press release posted on its website.

By Michael W. Chapman, CNSNews – Rev.

By Michael F.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – We know the nature of mass hysterias in history, and how they can overwhelm and paralyze what seem to be stable societies… We know the roots and origins of the cult of wokeness… And we know, too, how such insanity—from the Salem witch trials to Jacobinism to McCarthyism…

By Alan Moy, MD, Church Militant – It is apparent that colleges and hospitals are poorly informed about not just the scientific facts pertaining to COVID vaccines, but also about the legal liabilities that they may incur by imposing vaccine mandates. These institutions are not aware that the FDA Cosmetic Act requires informed consent for the reception of any experimental medicine or that it gives people the right to refuse treatment and be made aware of alternative medicines.

By Josh Hammer, Patriot Post – Unborn children are properly understood as “persons,” and homicide laws therefore cannot discriminate by not protecting the unborn… In the April issue of the conservative journal First Things, the esteemed natural law philosopher John Finnis wrote an essay titled “Abortion Is Unconstitutional.”

By Andrew Latham, Crisis Magazine – Earlier this year, the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) joined with the Vatican COVID-19 Commission and the Strategic Concept for the Removal of Arms and Proliferation (SCRAP) of the SOAS University of London to co-host a webinar entitled “Advancing Integral Disarmament in Times of Pandemic.”

Wade… DeSantis and 11 other Republican governors wrote to support a Mississippi law before the Supreme Court that would ban abortions on unborn babies after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

By Michael J. Matt, Editor, The Remnant – A new song by Aaron Lewis has rocketed to the Number One spot on the Billboard chart after debuting within the top 15 of the Hot 100 on July 2, 2021… Why does this matter? Because Lewis is being panned by the Left for “pandering to the radical right” in America. You see, in Joe Biden’s America it’s “controversial” and “radical” to oppose the burning of our flag …

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – On a 219-208 vote, Nancy Pelosi and House Dems passed spending bills that, unless blocked by the Senate, would eliminate the Hyde Amendment and other longstanding pro-life policies that prevent taxpayer funding of abortion on demand.

By Tony Perkins, Patriot Post – On Tuesday, new CDC guidance directed vaccinated persons to wear masks indoors over most of the country, and urged everyone in K-12 schools to wear masks in the fall. The guidance reversed the rules the CDC issued earlier this year, which recognized that people vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to wear masks because they are immune, at least to its most harmful effects.

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – The U.S. government doesn’t need to have vaccine mandates because woke institutions are voluntarily foisting them on people anyway… Since February 2020, Americans have been pummeled with conflicting scientific reports and contradictory government mandates regarding the China virus. What started out as “two weeks to flatten the curve” quickly turned into “we can return to normal after everyone gets the vaccine.”

By Alan Moy, MD, Church Militant – Since the outbreak of COVID-19, our country has faced unprecedented — and unnecessary — suffering because of misinformation, deceit and censorship foisted on Americans by public health authorities, media, government, private and public institutions, as well as the Catholic Church.

By Gary Bauer, Patriot Post – We need to restore the Ten Commandments in every public square and in every public school… Every day the news brings more disturbing headlines of spiking crime all over the country. This isn’t just petty crime like vandalism. It’s vicious assaults on women, the elderly and children. It’s murder, rape and mob violence. Just consider this headline: “915 Shootings In The Past Week Across The U.S., With 430 People Dead.”

By Eric Scheiner, LifeNews – Rep. Joseph Morelle (D-NY) took to the House floor Wednesday to argue for taxpayer dollars to kill babies. Morelle claimed it was a constitutional right and compared it with free speech and choosing a religion… “I do note that in my home state of New York, we’ve made the decision for many years to support women in poverty who seek reproductive rights,” Morelle said.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – The woke movement, in other words, is a slicker, more sophisticated, and far more grandiose version of the Al Sharpton-Jesse Jackson corporate shakedown cons of the 1990s… The latter, at least, were far more honest in leveraging corporate cash with unfounded charges of racism—and came without the academic gobbledygook of critical race theory.

By Stephen Moore, Patriot Post – I have never bought the conspiracy theories that COVID-19 was a diabolical political plot to undermine the country… Without COVID-19, Pres. Joe Biden would never have been elected, of course. So, for the left, the virus defeated former President Donald Trump. COVID-19 is now the gateway to the left’s utopian agenda of multitrillion-dollar climate policies, hyperregulation of the economy, the rebirth of the welfare state and a radical redistribution of income.

By Kristine Christlieb, Church Militant – Unelected Joe Biden set a goal of having 70% of U.S. adults at least partially vaccinated by the Fourth of July. He did not meet his goal. Since then, vaccination rates have slowed to a crawl. Globalists are desperate. Church Militant’s Kristine Christlieb shows what they’re up to now… The New York Times.. targeted Dr. Joseph Mercola, a critic of the U.S. government’s vaccine policy, calling him a spreader of misinformation. …

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – “What is happening to our country is a cultural genocide,” Bauer concludes “Leftist elites are attacking and tearing down every symbol of the American Republic. Why? Because … the American Republic is an impediment to the Marxist state they’re trying to force on us.”… All this interests us greatly — and not just because the word “Patriot” appears on our masthead. When Patriots and patriotism are demonized and not defended vigorously, it’s a sign that the republic for which they stand is living on borrowed time.

By Burt Prelutsky, Patriot Post – Who would have ever imagined that such a man, General Mark Milley, would compare the brouhaha on January 6th to “A Reichstag moment” and describe President Trump’s speech that day as “The gospel of the Fuhrer”?… In preparation for Joe Biden’s inauguration, Milley promised that the Army would put “a ring of steel around this city and the Nazis aren’t getting in.”… Those Nazis the head of the Pentagon was talking about weren’t the members of Antifa, as you might have thought. No. he was referring to you and me.

Rev. Michael P. Orsi, CNSNews – We tend to assume that religion is only about transcendental things, but this is incorrect… The root of the word “religion” is the Latin term “lig,” meaning to bind. Your religion binds you to a certain way of life, with a corresponding view of the world… Your way of life is expressed in your political outlook. Religion thus informs politics. In many ways it precedes politics. You can trace political trends back to their religious roots.

By Chris Woodward, OneNewsNow – Justices will hear arguments this fall over Mississippi’s ban on most abortions after 15 weeks. Jackson Women’s Health, the state’s only abortion clinic, offers abortions up to 16 weeks of pregnancy, although the clinic director has stated about 10% of abortions there are done after the 15th week…

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – A New Mexico state lawmaker who was denied Communion after repeatedly being warned not to vote for a radical pro-abortion bill said this week that he will find another Catholic priest who will give him the sacrament – just like President Joe Biden does… Last week… Cruces, said he was denied Communion at a Catholic Church in his home district because of his “political office.”

By Tim Graham, Newsbusters – CNN became apoplectic whenever Donald Trump called them “fake news,” but on July 21, they offered President Biden a nationally televised boost that can accurately be described as a “fake town hall.”… A real town hall would sell tickets in a city like Cincinnati and let the locals mix it up with the president, ask them whatever was on their mind. That’s not what CNN does. It’s an “invitation only” audience, which means nobody boos or laughs at inappropriate times.

By Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D., Breitbart – The USCCBs’ Office of Pro-Life Activities launched a campaign Thursday to lobby members of Congress to reject taxpayer-funding for abortions… “Make a phone call to save a life” is a call to action to pro-life citizens to “make Congressional phones ring off the hook!” as votes on key appropriations bills reach the House floor… “Last week, the House Committee on Appropriations voted to push through four of the most extreme pro-abortion bills EVER”

By John A. Monaco, Crisis Magazine – We’re all aware of the heated dispute inside the Catholic Church regarding whether baptized Catholic pro-abortion politicians—and in particular, President Joe Biden—should be admitted to Holy Communion. Instead of treading over well-worn territory, I want to turn to the liturgy, which, as the late Benedictine theologian Aidan Kavanagh defined, is “the faith of the Church in motion.”

By Celeste McGovern, LifeSiteNews – For days, the mainstream media have been playing a loop of reports that 99% of COVID-19 deaths are among unvaccinated people. Besides there being no data —there’s actually evidence that the opposite is true – it’s become the basis for a stream of dehumanizing propaganda that labels half of the American adult population and most children who haven’t taken experimental COVID-19 shots as “variant factories” and “incubators” of disease.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The count is now at 38 times over the last month. That’s how many times Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues in the House have blocked a request from Republicans on the House floor to have a vote on a bill to ban taxpayer-funding of abortions… Three members of the House asked for a vote on the pro-life bill yesterday and each of them were denied the request by Pelosi and Democrats in the chair at her behest.

By Raymond Wolfe, LifeSiteNews – A top globalist’s prediction of widespread brain reading technology is rapidly proving true, as Big Tech companies advance implantable microchip and other “transhumanist” projects… In a recently unearthed video, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), called for microchips to be implanted “in our brains.” Schwab, who leads the WEF’s “Great Reset” program, detailed his microchip prediction in a 2016 …

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – In the last six months, we have seen absurdities never quite witnessed in modern America.

By Jason Scott Jones, The Stream – Build Back Bidenism: That’s the thought that came to mind when I saw a recent statement from Joe Biden. “The fact is 12 years of education is no longer enough to compete in the 21st Century,” he said. “That’s why my Build Back Better Agenda will guarantee four additional years of public education for every person in America – two years of pre-school and two years of free community college.”

Thomas Massie says he’s been contacted by members of the military who vow to quit if the COVID shots are forced on them… Most people were shocked when the president wanted to go door-to-door with his vaccine campaign — but that’s only the half of it.

By Donald DeMarco, EWTN News – In the turbulence and confusion that is going on in America these days, one idea seems to be gaining ascendency — communism. Should we exchange “We the people,” as written in the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution, for “we the masses”? Should we trade democracy for a totalitarian state? Should we extinguish God in favor of self-worship?

By J.M. Phelps, OneNewsNow – An author and investigative journalist is convinced that the Left – fueled by entitlement and a devastating vision for America – is on a path of self-destruction… During his keynote speech Sunday afternoon at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas, former President Donald Trump said generations of American patriots have passed down a glorious inheritance – “and we are not going to let it be taken away … by a small group of radical left Marxist maniacs.”

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – Despite Democrats’ claims that voter fraud isn’t a concern, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says that the over 500 voter fraud cases pending in his state is evidence that voter fraud is, indeed, a serious problem… In order to counter the false narrative promoted by Democrats through the media, Republicans need to “keep talking about the truth, which is there is real voter fraud”…

By Paul Kengor, Crisis Magazine – Is it not fascinating, if not revolting, that liberals will proclaim these mantras when it comes to abortion, which most acutely affects the other body in the situation—the unborn one—which has no choice at all, but they will not apply the mantras to forcible vaccination, which actually involves only the body that has the choice?… If Joe Biden and friends come knocking at your door, tell them firmly: “My body, my choice.” This is my body, Joe. Keep your hands off.

By Amy Furr, Breitbart – A Cuban priest reportedly remains in police custody as of Monday after police beat him, dragged him through the street, and stripped him in his native Camagüey for supporting peaceful protests… In a Facebook post on Sunday, the Global Liberty Alliance (GLA) cited a source within the Catholic Church in Cuba who said Father Castor José Álvarez Devesa was still missing…

By Leah Barkoukis, Townhall – The annual Sun Valley conference among finance, tech, entertainment, and media kingpins, dubbed summer camp for billionaires, included an address by Bill Gates about climate change… But critics pointed out the hypocrisy of such concerns, given that so many flew into the resort in private planes.

By Susan Jones, CNSNews – Speaking at the CPAC Conference in Dallas on Sunday, former Pres. Donald Trump slammed (Biden)… “When we regain control of Congress, we will immediately regain control of our border. We will hold China accountable for the damage and suffering they have caused and make them pay trillions of dollars in reparations, to us and to the world. We will break up the big tech monopolies and bring back free speech…we will take back our elections.”

By Margot Cleveland, The Federalist – Under the cover of COVID-19, Georgia, like many other states, flooded residents with absentee ballot applications. Also like sister states, Georgia ignored various legislative mandates designed to prevent fraud and to ensure the integrity of the vote. These facts, coupled with the closeness of the presidential contest in Georgia and other states, led to a flurry of accusations and litigation charging vote fraud, illegal voting, and violations of the Elector’s Clause of the constitution.

Editorial, EWTN News – The recent findings of unmarked graves located beside government-owned residential schools for Indigenous children that once operated in Canada has erupted into an international controversy, unjustly centered on the Catholic Church’s involvement with these schools… Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau swiftly joined with Native leaders in demanding that Pope Francis apologize for the Church’s role in operating the majority of these residential schools during the 19th and 20th centuries.

By Penn. Senator Doug Mastriano, at Laura Ingraham – A forensic investigation of our election results and processes for the 2020 General Election and the 2021 Primary will go a long way to restore trust in our system.

By Charlie Butts, OneNewsNow – A spokeswoman for a nationwide network of more than 900,000 Americans likens the political parties coming up with a federal budget that protects babies to a tug of war competition… The issue that keeps surfacing is abortion, with Democrats blocking the Republicans moves to add pro-life provisions to the budget.

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – We’re still wondering. And so, clearly, are a lot of other Americans, if a new poll by the Trafalgar Group is any indication. The poll asked one simple question of 1,086 likely voters: Do you believe President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office?

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – “The brain is like a super-computer: you program it and it responds accordingly… “It was Vladimir Lenin who said: ‘Give me your children to teach for four years and the seeds that I plant will never be uprooted.’… “They know the importance of getting into the school systems and indoctrinating the young people and that it will have a permanent effect. We are already starting to see the seeds of that…”

By Louis Debroux, Patriot Post – Our forefathers believed so deeply in the cause of Liberty that they, a rag-tag band of ill-equipped, untrained, out-gunned, out-manned farmers, merchants, blacksmiths, and tradesmen, took on the mightiest military force the world had ever seen…

By Jason Jones & John Zmirak, The Stream – Welcome to our time capsule, Forbidden Knowledge. We’re writing this compendium of political, historical, and philosophical wisdom in the vexed year 2020, AD. At least, that’s the calendar still used as we pen these words. We hope, of course, that it still will be when you pick up this book, in some ten or twenty years.

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – Communism is a curse and a scourge upon mankind.

Beryl Amedee, R-Houma …

By Kennedy Hall, Crisis Magazine – I imagine that most everyone has heard the term “woke,” a term that refers to a supposed state of enlightenment to the issues of our time. In a way, it is a bit of an amorphous term, and I have seen people of all political and religious stripes employ its usage. However, it is largely seen as a leftist term. In essence, if someone is “woke” then they are hip to the Marxist talking points and will seek to act accordingly.

By Joan Watson, Integrated Catholic Life – For our readers in the United States, this weekend will be full of fireworks and grilling. In the midst of this, let us not forget to pray for our elected officials. There will probably be petitions in the Prayers of the Faithful, and perhaps you will sing a patriotic song at Mass. But this is a good opportunity to really ask ourselves: do I pray for my elected officials, or do I just criticize them?

By Greg Piper, Just the News – A scientist who credits himself as the inventor of mRNA vaccines, and has warned that they carry risks downplayed in the COVID-19 pandemic, said this week that LinkedIn “shut down” his personal account without explanation… “The historic record of what I have done, stated, figured out (and when) etc. over time is a key part of establishing my credibility and track record as a professional… And that has been erased completely and arbitrarily without warning or explanation.”

By Matt Vespa, Townhall – RedState’s sources confirmed that the defector is, in fact, Dong, that he was in charge of counterintelligence efforts in China, and that he flew to the United States in mid-February, allegedly to visit his daughter at a university in California. When Dong landed in California he contacted DIA officials and told them about his plans to defect and the information he’d brought with him. Dong then “hid in plain sight” for about two weeks before disappearing into DIA custody.

By Hadley Arkes, The Catholic Thing – But in both cases the Court went to the rescue by finding a refined fault in the laws that barred discrimination based on “sexual orientation.” Those supposed defects, though, may be readily repaired, which is why Jack Phillips is back in the courts, as the war on him is unrelenting, and it is a near certainty the CSS will be back in the courts again, fighting its battles.  Justice Alito asked then, “What is the point of going around in this circle?”

By Michael Warsaw, Publisher, EWTN News – Above all else, Independence Day is the United States’ celebration of the love of liberty that is at the heart of our national narrative. Every Fourth of July, we recommit ourselves to the hard-fought freedoms that our independence and our founding principles have afforded our citizens… Religious freedom is one of the most cherished of these liberties, and it is anchored in the right of an individual to act upon his or her conscience and deeply held beliefs …

By Roger Helle, Patriot Post – Whatever I experienced in Vietnam was nothing compared to what the people there endured… For 32 years, I have been regularly going back to Vietnam. I have witnessed the aftermath of Socialism/Marxism first hand. It is NOT the utopia promised by their communist leaders. Vietnam’s economy is better because of trade with America, but there is no true freedom. They are under Marxist dictators!

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Leaders of the Catholic parish that President Joe Biden attends in Washington, D.C. said Tuesday that they will not deny him Communion despite his radical pro-abortion actions… “Holy Trinity Catholic Church will not deny the Eucharist to persons presenting themselves to receive it,” the church responded in a statement… The priests said they agree with Cardinal Wilton Gregory, the archbishop of Washington, D.C., that politicians like Biden should not be denied the Eucharist.

By Charlie Butts, OneNewsNow – Michigan leaders are considering a proposal that recognizes the value of babies in or out of the womb… Babies, once they are born, are a tax deduction at both the federal and state level – but Chris Gast of Right to Life of Michigan tells One News Now that lawmakers in his state are working on a bill that would further assist women financially.

By Dennis Prager, Patriot Post – As many observers have noted, staying safe has become a religion. “Safetyism,” as it is sometimes called, like all religions, places what it values — in this case, being safe — above other values. Safetyism explains the willingness of Americans to give up their most cherished values — including liberty — in the name of safety for the last year and a half.

By Gary Bauer, Patriot Post – “We’re a brand of China and for China.”… If 50 years from now the whole world is taking its marching orders from communist China, one reason will be that love for America withered among our elites… Last week, John Donahoe, the CEO of Nike, held a conference call to discuss his company’s quarterly earnings. When asked about conditions in communist China and growing tensions with the West, Donahoe made it clear where his loyalties lie…

By Cheryl Sullenger, LifeNews – Joe Biden has nominated Tracy Stone-Manning to serve as the head of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management… Manning, a radical environmentalist, has been a proponent of population control policies that mirror those of the Communist China’s one and two-child limits and advocated for them in a 1992 graduate thesis prepared while attending the University of Montana.

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow – President Joe Biden is blaming you gun owners for a crime wave in America’s biggest Democrat-run cities, and promising to punish you for it, but a gun-rights advocate says Democrats caused record-breaking guns sales after causing a crime wave.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – The new progressivism is not the old Democratic Party, or even 1960s’ liberalism. It is a cruel creed, a faith-based ideology that allows no apostasies. Progressivism envisions humanity as a marbleized abstraction, not incarnate humans. If need be, it will alter language, change names, cancel people, erase events, and destroy elements of existing civilization. It stereotypes both adherents and opponents as either useful or disposable. And the carnage it wreaks on the masses is always acceptable damage for these terrifying visions of the anointed.

By Daniel Lipinski,  First Things – On June 17, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to draft a teaching document on the Eucharist. The next day, a group of sixty Catholic Democratic members of the House of Representatives responded to this decision with a “Statement of Principles.” In this statement, they argued against the “denial of the Holy Eucharist to certain elected officials” who support “legal access to abortion.”

By Joseph D’Hippolito, The Stream – Chen Ping, a senior research fellow at Fudan University’s Center for New Political Economy, called COVID-19 a bioweapon… “In 2020, China won the trade war, science and technology war, and especially the biological war,” Chen said in January. “The achievement is unprecedented. This is an epoch-making historical record. So for the liberal, America-worshiping cult within China, their worship of the U.S. is actually unfounded. …”

By Raymond Wolfe, LifeSiteNews -Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) rejected bipartisan legislation on Tuesday that would ban gender-confused males from competing against women and girls… Gov. Edwards suggested that the bill, which protects female athletes from having to play against naturally stronger male competitors, was “discrimination” and called it “a solution in search of a problem,” the Associated Press reported. Edwards, a self-professed Catholic known for laxity on pro-family issues, vowed in April to reject the measure.

EWTN News, The Editors – In the wake of the decision by the U.S. bishops to include a treatment of Eucharistic consistency in a new bishops’ statement about the Eucharist, pro-abortion Catholic politicians and their supporters in the media rushed to collectively accuse the U.S. bishops of “weaponizing” the Eucharist… But it’s not the bishops who are politicizing this matter. It’s the pro-abortion Catholic politicians themselves …

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – We have repeatedly noted that as more parents have been alerted to the truth about CRT — and that its inherent Marxist, anti-American ideology is being promulgated in schools across the nation — they have increasingly objected and fought against it. But Loudoun County, Virginia, appears to be where the clash is currently the hottest, and both sides have dug in, as evidenced by the declaration of one parent:

By Chris Woodward, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – A nationwide battle is being waged from elementary schools to the war-planning Pentagon over Critical Race Theory and its tenets on race, oppression, and white privilege, and it appears the panicking Left can’t agree on what it all means at the same time the Right has organized and is fighting back.

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine – “Blessed be sin,” Bernanos tells us, “if it teaches us shame.” But, of course, Biden feels no shame. It is not an equation he would accept, not even were the pope himself to draw his attention to it… Not with the current President of the United States, he doesn’t. Why wreck a perfectly good relationship with someone when there are so many pressing issues we need to advance right away, matters about which the two men are already in agreement? Like climate change, for instance. Or unrestricted immigration… But abortion? Are we really going to rock the boat over that one?

By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – Suppression of information, mandates, and big goals are turning people off… One of the great ironies exposed during the coronavirus pandemic is the professed dedication to Science™ from the same people suppressing scientific debate.

By Steve Jordahl, OneNewsNow – Austin Ruse of the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam) says the Catholic Church in America finds itself in a place it has never been before… “We’ve never had a president of the United States who’s both Catholic and a dissenter on fundamental teachings of the Church,” Ruse tells One News Now. “So there’s an awful lot of confusion out there, and the bishops are just trying to clean it up.”

By Joseph Enders, Church Militant – The fight against Marxist orthodoxy in public schools is kicking off in historically blue states as schools in both New Jersey and California encounter ongoing pressure to expel leftism… The Randolph, New Jersey school board on Monday backed down from its vote to remove holidays, including Columbus Day, from the school calendar — voting 8–1 to reinstate the old calendar after hundreds of angry Italian Americans and parents called for the board’s resignation.

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNews – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed three new laws Tuesday aimed at strengthening civic literacy in the Sunshine State, including a new requirement that high-school students be taught the “evils of Communism and totalitarian ideologies.”

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – “Live not by lies,” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn exhorted us, in a powerful essay, released on the day that he was arrested in 1974. He knew the power of the lies that propped up the Soviet regime… In our own society, powerful institutions are now promoting lies. We are asked—no, instructed—to believe that a man is a woman, that a partnership between two men or two women is a marriage, that any heretical deviation from this absurd new faith is evidence of hatred and dangerous to the common good.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – The USCCB voted 168-55 on Friday in favor of drafting “a formal statement on the meaning of the Eucharist in the life of the Church,” which could be used by church bishops to deny communion to politicians who support abortion… The vote was seen as a clear rebuke of leading Catholic Democrats like Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ….

By Joseph Enders, Church Militant – This legal tradition draws from 1 Corinthians 11, 27–29, where St. Paul declared: Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the Body and Blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.

By Tom Gilson, The Stream – Imagine a file drawer labeled “Critical Race Theory.” On the label there’s a stern warning: “Approved Definitions Only!” You open the drawer expecting to see one thin file and one short explanation, but instead you see file folders crammed full and bulging with papers. And they’re all labeled “Definition.” Someone walks up while you’re standing there, pulls a paper out of the file, reads it and stuffs another one of his own in front of it.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, told Townhall that (Dr. Anthony Fauci’s) agency gave $61 million to the University of Pittsburgh in 2019 for scientific research, and some of that money funded experiments that involved aborted baby body parts being attached to mice and rats.

By Ashley Sadler, LifeSiteNews – “We have been lied to,” said Michigan attorney Matthew DePerno… “The Antrim County election management system was REMOTELY and successfully logged into anonymously on 11/05/2020 at 5:55 PM and again on 11/17/2020 at 5:16 PM.”… “We were told there was no internet connection. We were told there was no remote access. We were told this was human error. All lies,” DePerno concluded. “This is fraud. This decertifies the Antrim County election.”

By Michael Brown, The Stream – On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 529 into law, mandating between one and two minutes of silence to start each day in the state’s public schools. Said DeSantis, “The idea that you can just push God out of every institution and be successful, I’m sorry, our Founding Fathers did not believe that.”

By Robert Knight, Patriot Post – It’s so bad that Loudoun has become Ground Zero in a parents’ pushback that is taking shape around the nation.  In April, the Virginia Project, a GOP group, exposed a leftwing group that publicly named parents who opposed Critical Race Theory and an advisory board that promised to “silence” the parents.  Subsequently, Parents for Education was formed, along with a Fight for Schools PAC to recall six school board members.

By Jessica Kramer, Crisis Magazine – Almost two centuries ago, Alexis de Tocqueville predicted that Americans would either totally abandon Christianity or convert to Catholicism, writing, “our descendants will tend increasingly to divide into only two parts, some leaving Christianity entirely and the others embracing the Church of Rome.”… He predicted a smaller Church… saying, “Nowadays, more than in previous times, we see Catholics losing their faith and Protestants converting to Catholicism.” …

By Catholic World News – President Biden, who has frequently emphasized his Catholic background, would have ample reason for wanting a meeting with the Pontiff. And some American bishops—notably Chicago’s Cardinal Blase Cupich—have actively sought support from the Vatican for their efforts to derail the USCCB discussion of Eucharistic coherence. So it is certainly plausible that some people on both sides would have explored the prospects for a meeting.

By Debra Heine, American Greatness – A Fox 26 Houston television reporter informed her station bosses live on the air Monday that she has been secretly recording them and intends to use Project Veritas to blow the whistle on their attempts to prevent her and her colleagues from reporting “certain information.”… “..Before we get to that story, I want to let you the viewers know that Fox Corp has been muzzling me to keep certain information from you, the viewer,” Hecker began.

By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – The USDA’s discrimination is bad, but unconstitutional giveaways are the root problem… It’s “Jim Crow on steroids,” complained Joe Biden. President Unity was not, however, talking about his own administration’s efforts to segregate whites and blacks in the name of “equity,” but rather the Georgia law to bolster election integrity in that state. He’s wrong on both counts — about the Peach State law and about blocking whites from receiving government aid based solely on their skin color.

By CNSNews.com Staff – Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Ill., has issued a statement in which he cites President Joe Biden for promoting evils, including the abortion of unborn babies, the marriage of people of the same sex and people identifying as the opposite sex of the one they are biologically… In the statement, Bishop Paprocki states his position that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, as planned, should discuss at their virtual meeting this week why Catholics who advocate abortion cannot receive communion.

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow – A conservative activist says Dr. Anthony Fauci has credibility problems as evidence keeps piling up about the controversial virology lab in Wuhan, China, and his involvement in funding research there… Despite growing evidence COVID-19 originated in a research lab in Wuhan, which was ground zero for the pandemic, Democrats, Big Media, and Big Tech successfully shut down discussions or debate about the common-sense possibility the bat-testing lab was the source.

By Bruce Thornton, David Horowitz Freedom Center – CRT has its roots in Marxism, as one of the founders of BLM has bragged. And, like the Soviet version of Marxism, BLM’s growing influence over our social, educational, political, and corporate institutions––already compromised by a century of progressive ideology, itself a kissing-cousin of Marxism––is an existential danger to the Constitutional safeguards of our political freedom and unalienable rights.

The Editors, EWTN News – To put matters more colorfully, is there any chance that Biden might revert partway back to his earlier, more principled “Senator Jekyll” position of supporting this congressional amendment that protects pro-life Americans from being forced to participate in the funding of abortion? Or has he permanently transformed into “President Hyde,” with a political persona that is unalterably committed to unqualified support for the profound evil of legal abortion?

By Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist – Google’s YouTube has stepped up its draconian censorship of a sitting U.S. senator… (Youtube) removed a video of a speech given by Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and banned him from uploading new videos for at least seven days. … While large pharmaceutical companies and their allies in government bureaucracies and the WHO have focused their research and funding on new treatments for the novel coronavirus ….

By Trey Blanton, Church Militant – Abortion is the preeminent tragedy challenging Catholics in America. Bishops and priests should be 100% committed to the fight to end abortion, but many, however, are not… Students for Life often stare down aggression on the battlefield to save the preborn and build a culture of life in America. The pro-life organization, next week, will challenge the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to do its job and prohibit Communion to obstinate pro-abort politicians.

By Elisabeth Nieshalla, CNSNews – Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirming possible “dangerous side effects” the COVID-19 vaccine has on young people, colleges across the country are requiring students to be vaccinated before returning to school, providing little to no exemptions, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Thursday… “It is no longer your body, it is no longer your choice,” Carlson said. “When it comes to this vaccine, there is no escape.”

Biden’s $6 trillion 2022 budget plan refers to mothers as “birthing people.”… The Biden administration used the term in a section that includes approximately $200 million to reduce the “high rate of maternal mortality and race-based disparities in outcomes among birthing people.” The language in Biden’s budget is not entirely consistent because another section touts paid-leave policies for their success in keeping “mothers in the workplace.’”

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – It’s becoming clear that as more parents learn about Critical Race Theory and find out that it’s being taught to their children in local schools they are becoming incensed… The most recent and maybe the most significant example comes from Loudoun County, Virginia, where a judge ordered an elementary gym teacher, Tanner Cross, reinstated to his position after the school board suspended him for daring to criticize their proposed “transgender” policy.

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) says he’s firmly against transgender surgery being performed on minors and, if given the chance, he would sign a bill prohibiting the procedure… “Is Florida interested in passing legislation banning trans surgery procedures for minors?”… Host Mary Margaret Olohan asked… “Oh, I’m very much opposed to chemical castration of minors,” DeSantis replied.

By Dr. Susan Berry, Breitbart – Ann Marie Banfield, who writes at the blog Granite Grok, reported New Hampshire Rep. Melissa Litchfield, who represents the Brentwood district, posted to Facebook Tuesday that some constituents informed her their unvaccinated students who attended the Exeter High School prom Monday night “had a number written on them in Sharpie” and were tracked throughout the evening.

By Vernon Jones, Patriot Post – We must figure out what went wrong in the 2020 election and ensure that it never happens again. Democrats abused a broken election system, and they will again in 2022 and 2024 if we don’t fix the problem and stop them. The first step is for every state in question to pursue statewide forensic audits. Arizona is a great example of a forensic audit detecting potential fraud and inconsistencies with ballots.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – Name one mainline institution that the woke Left does not now control—and warp. The media? The campuses? Silicon Valley? Professional sports? The corporate boardroom? Foundations? The K-12 educational establishment? The military hierarchy? The administrative state? The FBI top echelon?

By Roger Helle, Patriot Post – I’m not sure how many people remember the Clinton administration’s nefarious activities? Remember the Clintons raising money for his reelection campaign from those with ties to the Chinese military?… Years later, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sold American uranium to a Russian company. It’s only a “coincidence” that a number of Russians affiliated with Uranium One gave large “donations” to The Clinton Foundation. Nothing to see, folks.

By John Binder, Breitbart – The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) on Monday held that illegal aliens who were subsequently given Temporary Protected Status are not eligible for green cards to permanently remain in the U.S… Justice Elena Kagan, appointed to the court by former President Obama, wrote in a 9-0 decision that a “TPS recipient who entered the United States unlawfully is not eligible … for [lawful permanent resident] status merely by dint of his TPS.”

By Gabe Kaminsky, The Federalist – Cancel culture is harmful to America’s social fabric, and it unravels the country. But the question of how to counteract it goes far deeper than the question of legal or illegal speech… It boils down to a question of where and how we derive our principles, a question of what morals ought to dictate our world. The left’s flatly immoral ideology should not.

By Catherine Mortensen, Patriot Post – As part of President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, the Biden administration wants to incentivize local governments to eliminate zoning for single-family home lots to make way for apartment buildings… Local governments and communities should be responsible for determining what their neighborhoods look like. No one wants nameless, faceless bureaucrats in Washington, DC mandating where and how we live.

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – Ronna McDaniel, head of the Republican National Committee (RNC)… waffled last week. On June 2, she pandered to sodomites and child-grooming drag queens, tweeting, “Happy #PrideMonth! @GOP is proud to have doubled our LGBTQ support over the last 4 years, and we will continue to grow our big tent by supporting measures that promote fairness and balance protections for LGBTQ Americans and those with deeply held religious beliefs.”

By Amanda Vicinanzo, Live Action – The amendment to the Endless Frontier Act was proposed by Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) and co-sponsored by Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.). It failed in a vote of 49-48. The amendment would have banned the creation of human-animal chimeras, the attempt to create human-animal chimeras, and the transfer of a nonhuman embryo to a human womb, and vice versa.

By Andrew Trunsky, LifeNews – “Democrats have a big problem in Texas,” Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela, who represents the region, told the Texas Tribune in January. “For the first time in generations, or maybe ever, we lost . . . South Texas counties with significant Hispanic populations.”… Republicans’ victories in Texas came as major Democratic groups released an extensive report warning that the party is at risk of losing the support of voters of color.

By Michael F. Haverluck, OneNewsNow – “We’re about to change the way that Texas addresses the challenges along the border, and we’re going to start by helping these 34 counties [along the border] respond by increasing arrests,” Abbott announced in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “We got a new game in town in the state of Texas that’s going to begin next week.”

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – As he prepares for his first trip abroad since taking office, President Biden’s weekend comments about rallying the world’s democracies to stand up to China elicited a cutting response in Beijing… “Are you awake or asleep again?” Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece Global Times, asked the president of the United States in a jeering tweet.

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture – Now there is nothing whatsoever I can do about any of this except to pray, bear witness to the truth, and to become ever more faithful to Christ over time. This is a particularly propitious time for American Catholics especially to renew their daily prayers for effectively faithful papal and episcopal leadership. We must pray especially that those US Bishops who are prepared at last to follow a path of “Eucharistic coherence” will not lose their resolve.

By Josh Hammer, American Greatness – The trials and tribulations of COVID-19 in America have dealt an irreparable blow to the credibility of America’s ruling class and the ruling class’s implicit appeal to its authority as a coterie of highly trained and capable experts. No single person exemplifies this more than Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has attained celebrity status during the pandemic as the nation’s leading immunology and forward-facing spokesman ….

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Catholic Archbishop Joseph Naumann criticized President Joe Biden on Friday for introducing a federal budget plan with direct taxpayer funding for elective abortions… Naumann, who chairs the USCCBs’ pro-life committee, urged Congress to reject Biden’s plan and protect unborn children, the Church Militant reports… Biden’s 2021 budget proposal eliminates the Hyde Amendment ….

By Christopher Bedford, The Federalist – The press in America is expected to provide reliable information that its audience can use to make decisions and come to informed views in their day and in their larger lives. Some of these decisions might be mundane, others — like voting and taking care of your family — will be very important… the press in America is expected to expose lies, crime, corruption, and other misdeeds — and to hold powerful private and government officials to account… In both of these duties, the press in America has demonstrably — and seemingly intentionally — failed us.

By Margot Cleveland, The Federalist – The short three-sentence order in People of the State of New York v. Griepp—in which the court, without elaboration, granted rehearing of the case, vacated its previous opinion, and reinstated the district court’s decision—tells none of the bigger story of this continuing saga: a story of complicity between the abortion industry and leftist government officials.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – Byron Cross is a gym teacher at Leesburg Elementary School in Loudoun, Virginia. Sadly, Cross may have taught his last lesson at the school following his refusal to lie to children. Speaking before the Loudoun County school board last week, Cross stated that he would not “affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa,” because children suffering from gender dysphoria need to be helped, not lied to.

By Charlie Butts, OneNewsNow – The International Society for Stem Cell Research voted May 25 to lift ethical guidelines that prevented professionals from performing controversial types of research, which means that scientists will now be allowed to grow human embryos in a woman’s womb then kill them in the name of research… Carol Tobias of the National Right to Life Committee says scientists now have permission to experiment on “little human beings,” which begins with creating life only for an experiment.

CNA Staff – The Chinese government announced Monday that couples can have up to three children amid a sharp fall in the country’s birth rate… China’s National Bureau of Statistics said earlier this month that the country recorded 12 million births in 2020, the lowest number reported since the 1960s… China has a below replacement-level fertility rate of 1.3… Chinese authorities vigorously imposed a one-child policy from 1980 to 2016 in an effort to curb what they perceived as excessive population growth.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – During the 2020 election cycle, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg/wife spent hundreds of millions in electioneering efforts backing Democrat candidates… an eye-popping $350 million to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a leftist organization that in turn gave the money in grants to some 2,500 municipalities in 49 states… “In exchange for the money, elections divisions agreed to conduct their elections according to conditions set out by the CTCL, which is led by former members of the New Organizing Institute, a training center for progressive groups and Democratic campaigns.”

By John Zmirak, The Stream – We need new leaders, men more like Ron DeSantis in Florida. And less like Greg Abbott in Texas. Because the fantasy scenario I laid out at the top of this story? It just happened right here in Texas. The National File reports that Texas Republican leaders intentionally smothered a common-sense bill protecting vulnerable teens from trans madness.

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – “These are the consequences of Big Tech playing speech police”.. Brent Bozell said Thursday, reacting to Facebook’s announcement admitting that it was wrong to censor content suggesting that COVID-19 might have been man-made… Facebook posted an “update” to its COVID-19 censorship policy, saying that the findings of “ongoing investigations” have prompted it to stop removing claims that COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured…

By Trey Blanton, Church Militant – Faithful Catholics with Church Militant Resistance held vigil in heavy rain to pray for the Black lives abandoned by Bp. Burns. The diocese of Dallas stood in solidarity with the anti-Catholic, Marxist organization, Black Lives Matter… Dr. Jackson: “Even when you look at the accepting of all the immoral things that go on in America, all of these things have been orchestrated by the progressive, socialist, leftist Marxists coming from the Democrat Party.”… Dr. Jackson explains how pandering to the Black community is insufficient.

By Chris Woodward, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – Hunter Biden’s damaged laptop that was left behind at a Delaware repair shop keeps revealing family secrets: Emails from 2015 suggest then-Vice President Joe Biden attended a dinner that was attended by a who’s who of powerful business people and politicians from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan – and even came with a cover story.

By Tony Perkins, Family Research Council – Kellogg’s hasn’t been sugar-coating its agenda for years. But its latest venture — a “create-your-own-pronoun” cereal for kids — is bowling over parents. “Boxes are for cereal, not people,” the company insists about its new Together with Pride rainbow edition that donates $3 from every box to an extreme LGBT group, GLAAD, who’s out to recruit and confuse your children.

By Dr. Susan Berry, Breitbart – “Mark Lee Dickson, director of Right to Life of East Texas and founder of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn initiative, explained to Breitbart News the significance of passing “ordinances” that outlaw abortion, and not simply “resolutions.”… “There are some cities across the United States that have passed resolutions declaring themselves a “sanctuary city for the unborn,” but those resolutions are just statements which do not outlaw anything,” he said…”

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – Our National Guard has finally left the Capitol, but “The People’s House” is still closed to the public… First things first: To the nearly 26,000 National Guardsmen who left their friends, their families, and their communities to take part in a nearly 20-week deployment in our nation’s capital, we say, Thank you… By now, the Guardsmen are back home where they belong.

By Chad Groening, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – More than 145,000 absentee ballots in Fulton County, Georgia will be unsealed for an audit after a judge approved their review, and a political activist says nobody should be surprised if Donald Trump legally won the state’s 16 electoral votes… Responding to a lawsuit alleging election fraud, Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero ruled May 21 that Fulton County officials must scan the ballots and produce high resolution images for the plaintiffs to review ….

By Tony Perkins, LifeNews – “Biden… rejects Church teachings on abortion, marriage, sex and gender and is hostile to religious liberty. He embraces the most pro-abortion and anti-religious liberty public policy program in history.” In fact, the organizers argue, his views are so radical that they almost make Obama’s seem tame.

By Trey Blanton, Church Militant – (here are) some examples of diocesan discrimination across America… Bishops in America are applying pressure to their congregations to force them to take the experimental, unapproved COVID-19 gene therapy… Clergy are following the same game plan as the leftist globalists. Those who follow the diabolical Marxist plan are rewarded, while those who object to taking a dangerous, abortion-tainted drug are ostracized.

By Harold Hutchison, Patriot Post – The ballot audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, and the forthcoming audit in Fulton County, Georgia, are facing a continuation of that double standard. Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by a little over 10,000 votes in Arizona, and just under 12,000 in Georgia… Audits should be a relatively routine part of ensuring the integrity of each election. Yet the usual suspects at CNN and MSNBC… are attacking these audits, while officials are trying to obstruct them as much as possible.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – Pro-abortion advocates are already expressing outrage and outright terror over the Court’s decision to hear the case. In a statement last week reacting to this decision, Nancy Northup, President & CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said that overturning Roe would be “devastating.” Northup noted that with Roe overturned, “Over 20 states would prohibit abortion outright.”

By Greg Piper, Just the News – The 1776 Commission met in D.C. Monday despite being disbanded by President Biden on his first day in office. It published its final report just two days before the presidential transfer of power… States should also oppose “race-based pedagogy,” especially if the curricula is “imposed by the federal government,” the statement reads.

By Anthony Esolen, Center for American Greatness – When I was a boy, I had a powerful experience of this virtue every year, on Memorial Day. Early in the morning, a parade led by veterans in uniform would proceed up the hill to the Lutheran cemetery near our house. A group of us boys followed them, because we wanted to see and hear the rifles when they fired the 21-gun salute, to honor the men who had served their nation in war.

By Al Perrotta, The Stream – A state judge in Georgia has ordered the 2020 general election absentee ballots in Fulton County unsealed and examined for fraud. Friday’s legal victory comes as part of a lawsuit led by Garland Favorito… Favorito claims county election workers likely included fabricated ballots — perhaps between 20,000 and 30,000 — and counted some ballots multiple times.

By Steven Mosher, LifeSiteNews – I have long believed – based on a lifelong study of Communist China and my background in biology – that the China Virus was a laboratory construct… At best, as I wrote in the New York Post on February 22 of last year, it was the result of a reckless “Gain of Function” experiment that created a highly contagious pathogen that somehow escaped from the lab… At worst, it was a deliberate attempt by the Chinese military to genetically engineer a bioweapon that could be used to attack China’s enemies, chiefly the United States and India.

By Patrick Hampton, Patriot Post – With mask mandates lifted in most states, many Americans are enjoying their return to what they believe is normal. But we are also seeing the true faces of those in power who seek to use sensitive medical information — like vaccination status — to oppress others… Private companies, organizations, and educational institutions announce their plans… some requiring proof of full COVID-19 vaccination before walking through their doors.

By Tony Perkins, LifeNews – If you abuse power long enough, you’ll lose it. That was the message from Pennsylvanians to Democratic Governor Tom Wolf, the first chief executive in the country to be stripped of some of his executive authority. The blowback — which has brewing for months — was a result of the governor’s COVID policies, which voters have obviously decided were too oppressive and overreaching.

By Patrick Delaney, LifeSiteNews – “We’ve never seen this level of side effects for any vaccine without the FDA taking action,” stated Dr. Angelina Farella, AFLDS Pediatric Medical Director. “The Rotavirus vaccine was pulled for 15 cases of non-lethal side effects and the Swine Flu vaccine was pulled for 25 deaths. But now, by the CDC’s own data, we are seeing a 12,000 percent increase in deaths with these vaccines and they’re still talking about giving this to our kids.”

By Mary Margaret Olohan, The Stream – Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Wednesday that Texas had passed an abortion ban protecting “every unborn child with a heartbeat.”… “The heartbeat bill is now LAW in the Lone Star State,” Abbott tweeted Wednesday. “This bill ensures the life of every unborn child with a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion.”

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – Americans are living in a time when family-destroying, God-hating propaganda is being promulgated as truth… There is a meme circulating around the internet that intimates that if Marxists were winning, then propaganda would be unnecessary. But as it looks right now, the Marxists are winning. They have infiltrated all levels of power and influence in the United States. What’s more, they’ve even infiltrated into high positions within the Church…

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – Get lost, cracker… That seems to be the message from Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who’s decided to give one-on-one interviews only to journalists of color.
You read that right. And we wonder: Has there ever been, in the post-Civil Rights era, such a nakedly and despicably racist act from an elected official anywhere in America?

By Joel S. Hirschhorn, WND – In this pandemic, it is more important than ever for physicians to act as early as possible to save their patients from serious COVID impacts, hospitalization and death. Instead, when (Anthony Fauci) withheld support for this sound medical strategy, we got the “Fauci kill zone.”… The whole notion that the COVID infection has created a genuine crisis can also be seen more as malfeasance, corruption and propaganda.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – CNA reports Wall, who leads the Diocese of Gallup, urged his fellow bishops to keep the salvation of souls at the forefront of their minds as they consider whether pro-abortion Catholic politicians like President Joe Biden should be denied Communion… “There is no doubt that a politician who actively protects abortion and strives to make it more accessible also risks his or her salvation”

By Raymond Wolfe, LifeSiteNews – The Biden climate czar also has been a notable “climate change” alarmist and was widely mocked in February for claiming that the world only has “nine years left” to avoid “catastrophic” climate problems… Pope Francis, for his part, has practiced virtually identical and equally dubious climate alarmism. “We only have a few years” to avoid “radical and catastrophic climate change,” the Pope warned …

By Kevin Portteus, The Federalist – According to the American Declaration of Independence, people enter into political society for the sake of protecting their inalienable rights, which are otherwise insecure. The question then arises: what can the people do if the government betrays its trust, and violates their rights? The Declaration’s initial answer is “that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.”

By Steve Jordahl, OneNewsNow – “People who consume media that is run [and] controlled by people on the left are much more likely to get the facts wrong,” he begins. “It’s because they’re not really getting the facts; they’re getting the narrative – and the narrative is shaping their view of the world.”

By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNSNews – Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, both nominated by Republican presidents, have both written absurd opinions on abortion laws… The case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, which the Supreme Court will hear this year, could give them an opportunity to redeem themselves.

By Jordan Davidson, The Federalist – One of the top CDC and Prevention officials.. will step down from her position this summer… Anne Schuchat, the CDC’s principal deputy director, was one of multiple government health officials included in emails between The American Federation of Teachers union, who repeatedly lobbied against in-person schooling, and the agency over the school reopening guidelines which were released earlier this year.

By Claire Chretien, LifeSiteNews – Well over 100 American universities mandate students receive coronavirus vaccines to attend. Employers are saying the unvaccinated will be fired or simply not hired. And in some circles it’s now commonplace not to ask people whether they’re vaccinated, but just which vaccine they’ve taken, with the assumption being all normal and sane people take this injection, or will take it the first chance they get.

By Joseph Enders, Church Militant – An Ontario Catholic school board will be requiring its districts to fly gay-pride flags during the month of June… The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) has joined the Waterloo, Wellington and Thunder Bay Catholic school boards after a May 6 vote to forcefully promote homosexual activity in its schools.

By Daniel Guernsey, The Catholic Thing – Authentic Catholic education does not cancel culture; it elevates, redeems, and transmits culture. It seeks out and celebrates truth, beauty, and goodness, wherever they are found – and if they are missing, Catholic education points that out as well. The transcendentals are not bound by culture, time, race, or gender.

By Chad Groening, Jody Brown, OneNewsNow – Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier (pictured) is a former fighter pilot who became commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado. But Lohmeier was relieved of that command on Friday after he blasted critical race theory, saying it is rooted in Marxism. Lohmeier made that assertion on a podcast he produced to promote his self-published book, “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & The Unmaking of the American Military.”

By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – This is America. The heavy hand of government has never been a good or acceptable tool for determining the behavior of free citizens. If the CDC had been actually reliable and respectable from the beginning, and if the ruling class hadn’t become so quickly addicted to power with COVID as an excuse, we’d all be better off today.

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – What’s happening today, however, is that people are paying government entities to do the charitable works for them… Democrats claim taxes must be raised so that those who have can pay for the have-nots… But it isn’t charity if it’s mandated by the government, meaning that paying taxes is not an act of charity. That’s just one aspect of the Marxist takeover of Western civilization.

By Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D., Breitbart – U.S. climate czar John Kerry met with Pope Francis in the Vatican this weekend… The pope “is one of the great voices of reason and compelling moral authority on the subject of the climate crisis,” Kerry told Vatican News. “He’s been ahead of the curve. He’s been a leader. His encyclical Laudato Si is really a very, very powerful document, eloquent and morally very persuasive.”… His Holiness “speaks with a moral authority that is quite separate,” Kerry added. “It’s unique and we need all the power we can bring to the table.”… Last January, Kerry told the BBC that humanity has only nine years to save the planet from man-made climate change.

By Paul Kengor, Crisis Magazine – “I think I can use my own judgment on that.”… That was the assessment of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a longtime “pro-choice” Catholic, when asked her reaction to U.S. bishops and the Vatican considering the question of whether abortion-advocating Catholic politicians should be denied the Eucharist.

By Arnold Ahlert, Patriot Post – A new woke recruiting ad sends all the wrong messages about America’s Armed Forces… The Army’s latest recruitment ad features a girl raised by two mothers, a lesbian wedding, and a civil rights protest, all aimed at “shattering stereotypes.” It opens with some music and the cartoon pictures of a soldier morphing into their photos. Then comes the narrative.

By Neil Munro, Breitbart – Joe Biden has taken $2 billion from Americans’ healthcare programs to help deliver migrant youths and children to their illegal-migrant parents throughout the United States, press reports say… “HHS has diverted more than $2 billion meant for other health initiatives toward covering the cost of caring for unaccompanied immigrant children.”… The program costs are expected to reach almost $9 billion by October according to a leaked report in the New York Times.

By Doug Mainwaring, LifeSiteNews – “The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do,” declared the President. “The choice is yours.”… The messaging coming out from the White House, the CDC, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious (NIAD) diseases who has been the face of America’s COVID-19 response from the beginning, is contradictory and confusing.

By John Binder, Breitbart – Border crossers are flying on commercial flights for free into the United States, with the help of Catholic Charities, after first sheltering at paid-for hotel rooms along the U.S.-Mexico border… thanks to President Joe Biden’s administration and often funded by American taxpayers… Biden officials and the state have worked out an operation that places border crossers into free hotel rooms at $71 to $90 a night… costing $86 million in total — is costing taxpayers about $72,000 per border crosser.

By Joy Pullmann, The Federalist – On May 15, Fox News reported that three Republican senators would like to write caveats into the Equality Act that might give them the political cover to vote for the bill to criminalize free speech and Christianity in the United States… “Representatives from the offices of Sens. Tillis, R-N.C.; Portman, R-Ohio and Collins, R-Maine, met with groups including the USCCB, Concerned Women for America, the Family Research Council and American Principles Project, sources said.”

By Susan Jones, CNSNews – – Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, went on all the Sunday talk shows to explain her agency’s sudden and confusing about-face on face masks… She told ABC’s “This Week” that the guidance CDC released last Thursday — that fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask indoors or outdoors — was driven by “science.”… “We also need to say that this is not permission for widespread removal of masks,” Walensky told “This Week.”

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – Historians will later calibrate whether in all these policies their authors were simply incompetent, misguided, and naïve, or else nihilists who equated ensuing chaos and pain as precursors to long-overdue equity and social justice… The new American Middle East policy is an extension of the new American domestic policy. In both cases, malign naïveté leads to clueless hubris that ends in catastrophe.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – More Catholic bishops are speaking out strongly against the killing of unborn babies in abortions this spring as President Joe Biden, who says he is Catholic, works aggressively to expand abortion… On Wednesday, Bishop Donald Hying of Madison, Wisconsin, joined the growing chorus of Catholic leaders in urging politicians to stop their “assaults on innocent human life,” Breitbart reports.

By Political Editors, Patriot Post – Just like that? Nothing about this pandemic, or the science behind it, or the vaccines that have stopped it, tells us that something changed suddenly and magically for vaccinated people [Thursday]. But [now] we can finally lose our masks, as President Biden’s CDC finally announced a full loosening of mask restrictions other than crowded indoor spaces and public transportation… May 13, 2021, will go down in history as the day the pandemic suddenly ended.

By Lisa Bourne, LifeNews – “Pregnancy centers provide mothers a safe place to turn to as they look for help, hope, and healing during challenging times,” Good said. “These centers and the individuals who work and volunteer at them deserve to be supported and recognized for the vital role they play in helping mothers and their families. I’m proud to stand with leaders like Senator Mike Lee who are working to protect innocent life.”

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who supports legalized abortion, said at her press briefing on Thursday that she can use her “own judgement” on whether to take Holy Communion at a Catholic Mass… Pelosi said she is free to use her own judgment regarding whether to present herself for communion, and that she was “pleased” with a recent letter on the subject of pro-abortion Catholic politicians receiving communion the Vatican sent to U.S. bishops ….

By Thaddeus G. McCotter, American Greatness – “Woke” is one of the most bitterly ironic terms in the post-modern lexicon, for the members of its death cult are anything but alert and self-aware. These Proglodytes are more aptly termed “broke” and “washed” (as in “brainwashed”), living a Manichean existence where they regress somnambulantly to a primitive state of nature following the roadmap of their insane, racist ideology that renders everything backward, and masks the reality that they are, in truth, the villains.

By Doug Mainwaring, LifeSiteNews – The CDC has been caught citing misleading stats in order to justify forcing Americans to wear masks outdoors, where the risk of contracting COVID-19 is near zero… the CDC has inflated the possible risk — and the fears of Americans who rely on information and recommendations supplied by the government organization — up to 100 times higher than actually warranted… The number “seems to be a huge exaggeration,” virologist Dr. Muge Cevik (said) in a statement

By Chris Woodward, OneNewsNow – “We found that people really, really don’t like this kind of ideology creeping into their schools,” says Nicole Neily, president and founder of Parents Defending Education. “Most respondents said that it is not important or not at all important for schools to teach students that their race is the most important thing about them.”

By Edward Pentin, National Catholic Register – Hosted by the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences… The conference… takes its inspiration from Pope Francis’ 2020 social encyclical Fratelli Tutti. It will cover two main topics: “Financial and Tax Solidarity,” which will focus on a G20 debt restructuring program for the world’s poorest countries, and “Integral Ecological Sustainability,” which will examine climate change in the context of a “sustainable and fair” transformation of the energy and food system.

By Dennis Prager, The Stream – When a country is hit with a severe earthquake, its people do not look first to France or Germany — let alone to Russia or China — for assistance. They look to America. When bad people invade a country, the people of the invaded country hope and pray America will come to their aid. And for more than a century, when beleaguered people saw American troops, they generally danced with joy.

By Edward Pentin Vatican, National Catholic Register – As with the fourth such conference in 2018, the 2021 edition, which one of the co-hosts called the “Davos of health care” conference, looked set to give prominence to the concerns of large biotech and pharmaceutical companies and give platforms to speakers with views diametrically opposed to Church teaching. This led to concerns that the Church’s perspective might be marginalized as a result.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – The United States has borrowed about $29 trillion in debt… The government will run up a $2.3 trillion annual budget deficit in 2021—after a $3.1 trillion deficit the year before… The Biden Administration still wants to borrow more—another $2 trillion in new social programs and “infrastructure.”… In the crazy last 100 days, the price of everything from lumber, food, and gas to cars and houses has soared. Yet many interest rates are still stuck at or below three percent.

By R. C. VanLandingham, Crisis Magazine – As John Nolte reported at Breitbart in his article The Narcissistic Cult of Woke has Taken Over the CIA, the agency’s recent recruiting video signals that the CIA is actively seeking to hire wokesters. The video focuses on a CIA officer who speaks exclusively about her own greatness, telling us that “I am tired of feeling like I’m supposed to apologize for the space I occupy rather than intoxicate people with my effort, my brilliance.

By Paul Brock, Church Militant – The Vatican’s CDF stated in Dec. 2020, “When ethically irreproachable COVID-19 vaccines are not available … it is morally acceptable to receive COVID-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process”… that statement was issued in the context of there being sufficient need or threat (like a worldwide plague)… world-renowned exorcist and theologian Fr. Chad Ripperger added, “The real problem with COVID is there’s not sufficiently grave cause to be vaccinated for it. … People are being brainwashed by the mainstream media; they’re constantly harping on this thing.”

By Fr. Mario Alexis Portella, Crisis Magazine – Recently Fox News ran an article entitled ‘God’ left out of Biden’s National Day of Prayer proclamation. Not that I questioned the veracity of the report, given President Joe Biden’s campaign to eradicate natural law from society as per his pro-LGBTQI policies, I was, nevertheless, compelled by curiosity to read exactly what the proclamation stated. After all, what is prayer if one does not invoke God?

By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews – Michael Hichborn… “In 1939, Margaret Sanger wrote to Dr. Clarence Gamble suggesting that they convince ‘negro doctors’ and ‘negro ministers’ to promote contraception among the black population. Mimicking Sanger’s approach, Fauci now wants to use Catholic priests to convince faithful Catholics to take an unproven shot that has over 30,000 reported deaths and over 100,000 serious adverse reactions attached to it. Faithful Catholics have every right to reject the shot and should tell Fauci and his lackeys to go pound sand!”

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – In yet another example of Democrats’ double standards, Joe Biden has waived ethics rules intended to prevent unions from having undue influence with the executive branch. Fox News reports, “Beginning as early as March, the White House waived certain rules for former labor union personnel slotted to fill Biden’s transition teams and government vacancies, who would have otherwise been prevented from communicating with their old unions.”

By Charles J. Urlacher, American Greatness – We must not count on going straight to communism… You will have capitalists beside you, including foreign capitalists, concessionaires and leaseholders. They will squeeze profits out of you amounting to hundreds per cent; they will enrich themselves, operating alongside of you… Meanwhile you will learn from them the business of running the economy, and only when you do that will you be able to build up a communist republic.
Lenin… says he will use capitalism to achieve a Communist republic. He incorporated capitalism as an evolutionary stage in the development of the Soviet Union.

By Joseph Enders, Church Militant – Critical race theory (CRT) is being forced on Washington’s K-12 educators… Over the weekend, Washington’s Democrat governor Jay Inslee signed into law Senate Bill 5044 (SB 5044)… critics aren’t buying it and petitioned the governor last month to veto the legislation. Others say bills like these are shrouded with Marxist language — language attributed to critical race theory, which teaches history through a lens of racial conflict ….

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine – More than a half century has elapsed since the murder of Martin Luther King. How did the nation react to his killing? The answer is easy.

By  Michael J. Matt, Editor, The Remnant Newspaper – In this edition of The Editor’s Desk, Michael J. Matt talks good news. With mask mandates collapsing all over the country, and Blue state governors losing in court, there’s an opportunity to push back against the COVID Stupid… (Gov.) DeSantis, who’s a Catholic, is ignoring the Florida bishops’ protest against his lifting of all COVID restrictions.

By Joy Pullmann, The Federalist – None of the 10 doctors on the committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control on COVID-19 vaccines would say if they support the CDC removing a world-leading scientist from that committee for opposing a pause that may have spooked Americans off COVID vaccination… The Federalist contacted all of the committee’s members for comment on the CDC’s decision… None was willing to comment.

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow – Black Lives Matter, praised by the media and supported by Democrats, is now Joe Biden’s problem to deal with, says a conservative black activist.

By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews – Chelsea Clinton has spoken out against freedom of vaccine-critical speech at a Vatican conference dedicated to dialogue…. Clinton, 41, responded to a question about so-called “vaccine hesitancy” regarding COVID-19 vaccines by saying that there must be a global effort to crack down on vaccine-critical social media posts… “I personally very strongly believe there has to be more intensive and intentional and coordinated global regulation of the content on social media platforms,” she said.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor, participated in a health care event Wednesday with the nation’s largest abortion chain, Planned Parenthood… Live Action News reports The Hill hosted the webinar, “Future of Healthcare: Bold Bets in Health,” with Fauci and a number of prominent medical figures and politicians.

By Chuck DeVore, The Federalist – Democrats—specifically the dominant extremist variety—view rights through the collective lens of race. Critical race theory (CRT), based in Marxism, is essential to understanding their objectives. CRT holds that personage is irrelevant and the immutable trait of race is paramount… Thus, by definition, all politics are “identity politics,” as declared by Univ. of California at Berkeley School of Law professors …

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – Communist revolutionary Leon Trotsky once said, “You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.” That certainly is true for Catholics, especially since society is turning ever more against God and His laws… Politics affects every man, woman and child. It doesn’t matter if the politics are local, regional or national — it all matters. It’s in the political arena where the great war for souls is being fought.

CNA Staff – Recent reports that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops may at their spring general assembly press pro-abortion Catholic politicians not to receive Communion are unfounded, and at best ignorant of ecclesial structure, a source close to the conference has told CNA… A source close to the USCCB told CNA April 29 that they believe such reports from the AP and the Washington Post are either “just totally ignorant of the Church’s structure,” or meant “to pressure the bishops into silence” regarding the Equality Act.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci’s federal agency (the NIAID) gave more than $400,000 to support a gristly experiment that involved scalping second-trimester aborted babies and then implanting their skins onto rodents… The disturbing taxpayer-funded project received renewed attention this week at a Pennsylvania House hearing where experts testified about the experiment and other research with aborted baby body parts at the University of Pittsburgh.

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – In his proclamation issued on Wednesday, Biden cited “a reckoning on racial justice” and “the existential threat of climate change” along with the coronavirus pandemic among the “crises and challenges of our time.”… “Nothing can stop the power of a committed and determined people to make a difference in our society.

CNA – Catholic bishops in Texas have voiced opposition to a bill allowing certain adults to carry handguns without permits, which they say “advances a culture of violence.”… House Bill 1927 would allow residents of the Lone Star State to carry handguns without permits if they are at least 21 years old and if they are not “otherwise prohibited by state or federal law from possessing the firearm.” Texas law currently requires a license to carry handguns.

If our wokists destroy people in the name of equity, then they believe their nihilism is justified… What ultimately ended the nihilist Soviet system?.. Was it not that Russians finally tired of the Kremlin’s lies and hypocrisies that permeated every facet of their falsified lives?.. Here are 10 symptoms of Sovietism. Ask yourself whether we are headed down this same road to perdition. …

By Lisa Correnti, LifeNews – The Biden administration sent a letter to UN ambassadors announcing U.S. withdrawal from an historic pro-life declaration initiated by the Trump administration and co-sponsored by countries representing regions all over the world… “Upon reviewing the Declaration, we have reservations that aspects of the document are not consistent with our current Administration’s policies, including those relating to women’s health, LGBTQI equality, and gender equality.”

By John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist – … the surge of fentanyl coming into the United States from Mexico, the rising chaos in border communities, and the breakdown of anti-cartel operations between the two countries… Mexican drug cartels are smuggling unprecedented amounts of fentanyl into the country at a time drug overdoses are spiking… They are making billions off industrializing illegal immigration, sending over families and children — all of whom must pay the cartels in order to cross the Rio Grande ..

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – The Left’s obsession with race has infected our politics and our lives, and there are signs that the American people are getting sick of it… “It does not take a majority to prevail,” said our favorite Founding Father, “but an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”… And are those brushfires we see out there in Southlake, Texas? And in Tallahassee? And in Chicago? And in, of all places, Manhattan?

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – As the Holy Father put it in his very first homily as pope: “We can walk as much as we want, we can build many things, but if we do not profess Jesus Christ, things go wrong. We may become a charitable NGO, but not the Church, the Bride of the Lord.”… I cannot argue with the Pope’s point. However, it is precisely because I agree with him so much, that I am so disturbed by the way the Vatican has increasingly come to resemble an NGO in recent years.

By Francis X. Maier, The Catholic Thing – When a country – a society, a civilization – gets to the point of legalizing euthanasia, it loses. . . all right to respect. It becomes, henceforth, not only legitimate but desirable to destroy it; so that something else – another country, another society, another civilization – might have a chance to arise.

By Robert Royal, The Catholic – In an unforgettable moment, Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, said after a trip to Asia that at present, “those who best realize the social doctrine of the Church are the Chinese.” In a similar vein, there are  American Catholics who think that President Biden – despite a welter of “respectful disagreements” with the Church (i.e., abortion, sex, conscience rights, religious liberty, and players to be named later) – was “preaching Catholic social teaching” when he spoke to Congress last week.

By David Daleiden. Founder & Project Lead, The Center for Medical Progress – The government-sponsored fetal experiments at Pitt include scalping 5-month-old aborted fetuses to stitch onto lab rats, exporting fetal kidneys across the country, and killing infants delivered alive for liver harvesting–funded by U.S. taxpayers via the National Institutes of Health, and in particular Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIAID office.

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow – The political heat is growing for John Kerry to step down from international politics, likely for good, after it was alleged this week he once disclosed an American ally’s secret military operations to an enemy of the United States… Kerry has denied a New York Times story — technically one paragraph in that story — that he disclosed Israel’s military operations in Syria to Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister.

By Mary Margaret Olohan, The Daily Caller – The publisher of the EWTN tore into Pres. Joe Biden Friday over the new president’s “complete opposition to fundamental Church teaching.”.. Michael P. Warsaw, CEO, of the EWTN Global Catholic Network and the publisher of the National Catholic Register, wrote that Biden’s first 100 days in office are ones of “disappointment” that foreshadow peril for the Catholic Church, warning …

By Neil Patel, Patriot Post – Biden has proposed cutting U.S. emissions by 50% below 2005 levels by 2030. This is double the hugely ambitious target set by former President Barack Obama in 2015… Meeting Biden’s emissions targets would require major lifestyle changes that Americans may not want to make. But the media has done a great job of obscuring this fact, so people aren’t aware of the radical sacrifices that could be demanded of them.

By David McLoone, LifeSiteNews – The Vail School Board decided to maintain the mask mandate until at least the end of the current semester, claiming that “about 90 percent of parents support the mask mandate for their kids,” but scheduled a meeting to discuss options moving forward. Before the meeting was to be held, around 100 parents from the district arrived outside the building to voice their protest to keeping their children masked while in school, some bringing placards that read “unmask the kids.”

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – Tulane University announced on Wednesday that Hunter Biden will be teaching a 10-week course this summer on the topic of “fake news” in a course titled “Media Polarization and Public Policy Impacts.”.. No, this isn’t fake news… President Joe Biden’s 51-year-old son will lecture about “the current state of the media landscape in the United States and how media polarization, fake news and the economics of the new business impact public policymaking in Washington D.C.”

By Brian Clowes, PhD, Human Life International – The first states legalized abortion in 1967. Since then, there have been about 61.7 million abortions performed in this country. One-sixth of our nation’s entire population has disappeared into the maws of the latter‑day extermination camps that the corrupt media calls “reproductive care centers.”… The social and economic impacts of this shameful and hidden slaughter are catastrophic… How has the loss of so much of population to abortion in the U.S. affected the social and economic dynamics of life in our country?

By Paul E. Alexander, LifeSiteNews – Summary:  Children do not readily acquire SARS-CoV-2 (very low risk), spread it to other children or teachers, or endanger parents or others at home. This is the settled science. In the rare cases where a child contracts Covid virus it is very unusual for the child to get severely ill or die. Masking can do positive harm to children – as it can to some adults. But the cost benefit analysis is entirely different for adults and children – particularly younger children.

By J.P. Duffy, LifeNews – Coinciding with President Biden’s 100th day in office today, Family Research Council is releasing a new resource, “Tracking the Biden Administration,” that reports President Biden has made at least $479.9 billion available that can subsidize abortion and abortion businesses — more than 19 times the level set under President Obama… Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package made $467.8 billion available for abortion and abortion businesses.

By Gabe Kaminsky, The Federalist – (According to the AP) the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will determine at their next meeting in June whether President Joe Biden and other politicians who support abortion should be urged to stop receiving Communion… “Because President Biden is Catholic, it presents a unique problem for us,” Naumann also told the AP. “It can create confusion. … How can he say he’s a devout Catholic and he’s doing these things that are contrary to the church’s teaching?”

By Robert Kraychik, Breitbart – Former President Donald Trump oversaw “the most inclusive economy in my lifetime,” Sen.

And we know what better looks like…

By John Binder, Breitbart – Previous analysis of the Biden amnesty revealed the plan would import a foreign-born population nearly the size of California by 2031 as nearly 12 million illegal aliens would have taken advantage of the amnesty provisions by then. Overall, the Biden amnesty would likely bring more than 37.3 million foreign nationals to the U.S… (he) urged the U.S. Senate to pass two amnesty plans ….

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – The United States is in the midst of a population crisis… At the beginning of every decade, the U.S. Census counts the number of people in the country and locates where they live… But beyond those reasons, it’s a good barometer to help understand what’s going on with the population. The results of the 2020 Census reveal the nation has experienced the second-slowest population growth in its history.

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – (W)e saw Biden earlier this week, wearing a mask outside while walking alone to a podium in front of the White House to tell us that we don’t need to wear masks outside anymore… What gives? One thing we know for certain: Joe Biden ain’t Donald Trump. Recall that our last president, having contracted the virus, left Walter Reed Medical Center just three days later while telling the American people, “Don’t let it dominate you. Don’t be afraid of it. You’re going to beat it.”

When one sees sick leaves on a tree, knowing that the tree is rotten at the roots, one does not address/treat the leaves but rather the roots. However, this is not the logic of how we are addressing COVID-19 and the vaccines. It is rather disturbing to observe the Catholic hierarchy and intellectual community… focusing their “guidance”/directives on the vaccines and focusing solely on the morality of using a vaccine that is connected to cell lines derived from abortion.

By Mary Margaret Olohan, LifeSiteNews – While SBA List will focus on Biden’s pro-abortion agenda, Catholic Vote will also focus on Biden actions pertinent to Catholic voters, such as transgender ideology… “It can be easy to forget about the many harmful policy changes underway when the accumulated attacks on Catholics are so frequent and come from nearly every corner of this administration,” (said) Catholic Vote President Brian Burch

By Dennis Prager, The Stream – Just as physicists look for equations to explain the natural world, I have always thought it useful to look for equations to explain human nature. For example, in my book on happiness, I offer this equation: U = I – R. Unhappiness = Image – Reality. The difference between the images we have for our life and the reality of our life is one way of measuring how much unhappiness we experience. ..

By Lauretta Brown, EWTN News – Former members of the Trump-era National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Fetal Tissue Research Ethics Advisory Board and a pro-life expert on the topic are speaking out against the Biden administration’s recent decision to remove the requirement that the board review human fetal-tissue research from elective abortions. … The NIH said in its announcement, “… HHS is reversing its 2019 decision that all research applications for NIH grants and contracts proposing the use of human fetal tissue from elective abortions be reviewed by an Ethics Advisory Board.”

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – David Harsanyi of National Review sees Kerry as having crossed a line. He writes, “We know now that former secretary of state John Kerry isn’t merely a critic of Israel; he is an adversary. … [He] feels comfortable sharing this information with an autocratic adversary — a government that’s murdered hundreds of Americans, regularly kidnapped them, interfered with our elections, and propped up a regime that gasses its people — about the covert actions of a long-time American ally.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said today that Joe Biden supports using the body parts from aborted babies for dubious scientific research.

Kevin Stitt signed into law Monday three new measures “protecting the lives of the unborn” from effectively all abortions, though at least two of the laws are likely to be put on hold by the courts before taking effect… KOKH reports that the first law makes it a homicide to abort any baby with a detectable heartbeat. ..

By Debra Heine, American Greatness – During the Obama years, former Secretary of State John Kerry informed Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that Israel, a United States ally, had attacked Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times, according to leaked audio obtained by the New York Times… During the Trump years, Kerry repeatedly held unauthorized meetings with the Iranians to undermine the Trump administration’s plans to end the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal.

By  Michael J. Matt, Editor, The Remnant – In the United Nations, promises are made, promises broken. Goals set; goals moved. The Vatican and the UN were hoping that people wouldn’t pay attention to the goals they set, especially the one involving human trafficking (8.7). After all, no one should hold them accountable for failing to fulfill their promise… (Francis) often chastises the world for its “globalization of indifference.”

By Kylee Zempel, The Federalist – Make no mistake: The ruling class is absolutely inciting violence. The same crowd that insisted President Donald Trump “incited an insurrection” is the one that outrageously lies to demonstrators claiming white cops go on search-and-destroy missions against innocent black Americans. These are the people who gaslight Americans with buzzwords like “peaceful protests” while they watch their cities light up in flames.

By Fr. Mario Alexis Portella, Crisis Magazine – While it is the President’s prerogative to hire whomever he wishes to such a post, in a trivial way this reflects the insidious agenda of the new administration to suppress the founding principle of our rights—the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” (i.e., the natural law as mirrored in God’s revealed law).

By Brady Stiller, Crisis Magazine – How did we get here? The principle to “do no harm” has been philosophically altered to “do no harm to freedom.” More accurately, “do no harm to personal choice,” since “detaching human freedom from its essential and constitutive relationship to truth” returns an empty shell of freedom in the form of personal choice, as Pope John Paul II’s insight would lead us to realize in Veritatis Splendor.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – …with the birth of Black Lives Matter, its courting by the Obama Administration, and the emergence of the electronic social media mob and cancel culture, such progress seems to have ended. We have ceased seeing race as increasingly incidental, rather than essential to who we are… The benchmarks of the Back Lives Matter and affiliated woke movements are overt racism, systemic untruth, and the hypocritical privilege of their elite architects.

By Rep. Kat Cammack, Marjorie Dannenfelser, LifeNews – There is no greater responsibility for members of Congress than to safeguard the right to life for all Americans, particularly the most vulnerable. That’s why House Republican leaders are pushing for a vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This bill would make the difference between life and death for countless children — if Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and pro-abortion House Democrats will stop blocking it.

By Michael F. Haverluck, OneNewsNow – Journalist Rod Dreher… argues that totalitarianism is on the horizon as corporate America’s woke movement is headed toward a new social credit system similar to China’s that resembles Revelation’s “mark of the beast” … essentially persecuting those with differing political mindsets… “This is not paranoia – these are things that are being talked about right now in Silicon Valley as something that would be good for America,” Dreher warned, according to CBN News.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Joe Biden, a supposedly devout Catholic who campaigned on the promise of unifying Americans, already has surpassed pro-abortion President Barack Obama as the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history… A new report from the Family Research Council documents the Biden administration’s aggressive, dangerous and radical pro-abortion actions thus far.

By Nancy Flory, The Stream – Fatima Morrell is an associate superintendent of culturally and linguistically responsive initiatives for Buffalo Public Schools in New York. She has created and implemented curriculum that pushes Black Lives Matter ideology to students, forces teachers to complete “antiracist” training and teaches students that “all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism,” among other leftist ideas.

By Victor Davis Hanson, Patriot Post – As Americans know from their own illustrious history, any nation’s well-being hinges on only a few factors.

By Eric Lendrum, American Greatness – On Wednesday, Joe Biden warned that Americans may be forced to cancel their plans for celebrating the 4th of July this year if too many Americans choose to not get a coronavirus vaccine, as reported by the New York Post… Although over 51 percent of Americans have already received some form of the vaccine, Biden was still hesitant to declare that the country was free to celebrate its Independence Day.
