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.

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.

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 Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – In the last six months, we have seen absurdities never quite witnessed in modern America. Madness, not politics, defines it… How strange that the U.S. government is considering going door-to-door to bully the unvaccinated, even as it ignores the daily influx of thousands from Mexico and Latin America, without worrying whether they are carrying or vaccinated for COVID-19.

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.

Keep your hands off.

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.

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.

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.

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 William Kilpatrick, Crisis Magazine – Bishop Garrison… (is) a former Army officer and currently serves as Director of National Security Outreach. He also leads the Defense Department’s Countering Extremism Wokeing…er, Working Group. Garrison is fully on board with Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and President Biden’s belief that “terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today.”

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. I am proud of me. Full stop.”

By Patrick Goodenough, CNSNews – As Palestinian terrorists in Gaza continued to fire hundreds of rockets into Israel, killing both Jews and Arabs, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged Palestinians to step up their “resistance.”… “Zionists understand nothing but the language of force, so the Palestinians must increase their power and resistance to force the criminals to give up and stop their barbaric acts,” the Mehr news agency quoted Khamenei as telling a meeting of students on Tuesday night.

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. There was an immediate outpouring of near universal grief and outrage. And it was not limited to any particular race or political persuasion. Americans everywhere were horrified by what had happened and resolute in their determination to continue the struggle Dr. King had fought and died to advance.

By Raymond Wolfe, LifeSiteNews – Southwest Airlines removed a mask-compliant child with disabilities and his family from a Denver flight last week, citing the federal mask mandate enacted by the Biden administration… A Colorado family said that they were booted from a Southwest flight on Friday because the captain “did not feel comfortable” with their son’s sensory processing disorder, 9NEWS reported.

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.
Black Lives Matter in recent days has demanded that Donald Trump be permanently banned from holding public office and from social media, too, and is calling for GOP lawmakers to be expelled from Congress.

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. Why? Because human beings are the most dynamic link to the divine on this planet.”

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.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness –
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  Michael J. Matt, Editor, Remant TV – In this Sunday Sermon from So. Saint Paul, Father takes off the gloves where the Vatican’s upcoming international health and human services conference is concerned.. Evidently, Francis just can’t wait to become Chaplain of the New World Order.

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 comparison, within President Obama’s first 100 days, he had signed a stimulus bill that included $24.7 billion in subsidies for employer-sponsored plans that cover abortion.

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. Tim Scott (R-SC) said Wednesday while delivering the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s first address to a joint session of Congress… Scott said: The American family deserves better. 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. She said the supposedly “faithful Catholic” disagree with the Catholic Church, which has strongly condemned killing babies in abortions and using their body parts for scientific studies.

By Calvin Freiburger, LifeSiteNew – Oklahoma’s Republican Gov. 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. Its prosperity, freedom and overall stability depend on its constitutional and political stability. A secure currency and financial order are also essential, as is a strong military.

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.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – Two Democrat lawmakers, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey, “officially” reintroduced their Green New Deal on Wednesday, because apparently they couldn’t wait a few more hours for Earth Day to roll around. As before, the GND aims to eliminate all use of fossil fuels for energy production over the next decade because we face a climate “emergency.”… Again, Democrats are out with their third rendition of the Green New Deal, and of course they’ve tied it to “infrastructure.”

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – House Democrats voted 216-208 today to pass a bill that attempts to make Washington D.C. the 51st state. The bill, which republicans say violates the Constitution, would also force Americans to fund abortions… The Democrats’ legislation would in theory create a 51st state with one representative and two senators.

By David McLoone, LifeSiteNews – Francis addressed the elites gathered at Biden’s climate summit by referring to the “initiative” as “a happy one,” later calling the convention a “beautiful decision to meet, to move forward and I accompany you.” He remarked that Biden’s climate summit, hailed as America re-entering “the global climate fight,” “puts us on the road … concretely, to take charge of the custody of nature, of this gift that we have received and that we have to heal, to guard and to carry forward.”

By John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist – The reason these things won’t work is that many Americans have decided the ruling class doesn’t really know what they’re talking about. After their many failures, not just during the past year of the pandemic but going back decades, many Americans have heard enough. Call them what you will, but they intend to make up their own minds about the vaccines, when they’re good and ready.

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – “There’s a pandemic of ignorance in this country, and that is only allowed to fly because we also have a pandemic of cowardice in this country. Okay? We have people that are purposely putting out a bunch of ignorant claims, and then we have people that are too cowardly to stand up and say, ‘You know what, this is wrong.’”

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – Justice is a virtue, and, according to the great Jesuit theologian Fr. John Hardon, a virtue is “a good habit that enables a person to act according to right reason enlightened by faith.”… There’s no hope that people will be just to each other if they aren’t just to God. Now that the United States has turned its back on God, we’re being ravaged by queer new Marxist doctrines that are replacing God’s simple doctrines, His easy yoke.

By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill declared during the closing moments of Chauvin’s trial that it was abhorrent of Waters to tell protesters it would be unacceptable for the former officer to be acquitted of murdering George Floyd. “I’m aware that Congresswoman Waters was talking specifically about this trial and about the unacceptability of anything less than a murder conviction and talk about being confrontational,” he said. “I wish elected officials would stop talking about this case ….

By Edward Pentin, EWTNNews – The Chinese government continues to be heavily criticized for its treatment of the Uyghurs, an ethnic Muslim minority in the country’s northwest, while the Vatican remains publicly silent — along with one of its influential longtime advisers… China’s Crimes against Humanity Targeting Uyghurs and Other Turkic Muslims,” declared that the Chinese communist government is committing “crimes against humanity” against the ethnic minority.

By John Zmirak, The Stream – For Planned Parenthood to repeat Woke cant about “systemic racism” does no good at all. Not while it’s systematically aborting huge, disproportionate numbers of non-white children. It just adds “hypocrisy” to the group’s long list of sins.

By Bob Kellogg, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – In the face of mounting public pressure, the school board that oversees the San Francisco Unified School District has dropped its plan to rename public schools named after history-making heroes such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln… After announcing plans in January to rename 44 schools, the school board put that plan on hold in February amid mounting pressure then dropped its plans at an April 7 school board meeting.

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – The Vatican’s forthcoming conference on global health will host a hugely controversial Hindu guru who invented his own “third Jesus” after dismissing “the Jesus created by the Catholic Church” as “confusing.”… New Age celebrity Dr. Deepak Chopra, whose net worth is estimated at $150 million, will address the Pontifical Council for Culture’s health summit on “Exploring the Mind, Body and Soul,” which will be held online from May 6–8.

By Mike Huckabee, The Stream – Last week, we talked about the backlash against “cancel culture” that’s starting to happen around the country, as millions of Americans have finally just had enough. Today, I have more good news on that front, concerning the most dangerous manifestation of this poison, in the schools.

By Jason Morgan, Crisis Magazine – The rise of the Black Lives Matter movement during the riots in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, brought increased scrutiny into the movement’s leadership. Formed in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting back in 2013, Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization that uses race as a weapon against communities across the United States—that much is clear even at first blush.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana is supporting a bill that would defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business… As LifeNews has reported, several Republican senators are sponsoring legislation in the United States Senate that would defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, which kills over 340,000 babies in abortions every year.

By David McLoone, LifeSiteNews – Joe Biden’s administration overturned restrictions on Friday relating to federal funding of the use of fetal tissue – body parts of aborted babies – for experimental purposes. The policy reverses a ban put in place by former President Donald Trump limiting federal funding for such research.

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – “Scientific evidence supporting face masks’ efficacy is lacking,” but “adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established,” Stanford University cardiologist Dr. Baruch Vainshelboim stressed, noting how masks “restrict breathing, causing hypoxemia and hypercapnia, and increase the risk for respiratory complications, self-contamination and exacerbation of existing chronic conditions.”… The scientist also pointed out that there was no scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of masks “for reducing morbidity or mortality associated with infectious or viral diseases.”

By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – “I don’t look at this as a liberty thing.” With that one sentence, Beltway bureaucrat Dr. Anthony Fauci perhaps unwittingly expressed the great divide in America over the ChiCom Virus pandemic… “That’s obvious,” retorted Representative Jim Jordan. The exchange between the two men occurred during a congressional hearing on COVID… (Jordan) pressed Fauci: “Fifteen days to slow the spread turned into one year of lost liberty. What metrics, what measures, what has to happen before Americans get more freedoms?”

By Paul Kengor, Crisis Magazine – “Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms,” stated Pope Pius XI in Quadragesimo Anno, “no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist.”… “Religion and communism are incompatible, both theoretically and practically,” noted Nikolai Bukharin, founding editor of Pravda… “Communism is incompatible with religious faith.”

By Michael F. Haverluck, OneNewsNow – On Wednesday, President Joe Biden attempted to undo former President Donald Trump’s pro-life policy that stopped Planned Parenthood and clinics from referring women to get abortions – a reversal that would restore one type of funding for the world’s largest abortion provider.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – The USCCB has announced a letter-writing campaign, urging Catholics to write to pharmaceutical companies and ask them to produce Covid vaccines that are not tainted by involvement with abortion. One year too late… This might have been a good idea, twelve months ago. In fact it was just twelve months ago that I made the point: “There is no scientific reason why we can’t have a morally acceptable vaccine.

By Rebecca Downs, Townhall – As Katie reported earlier today, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), a sitting member of Congress, took to the streets in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, where she called on riots to continue. She did so in the dead of the night, knowingly breaking curfew and encouraging others to do the same… Rep. Waters had also said that people have “got to stay on the street and get more active, more confrontational. They’ve got to know that we mean business.”

By  Michael J. Matt, Editor, Remnant Newspaper – First up, Francis: This time he’s teaming up with the radical Left for a conference on world health which includes the expertise of Dr. Fauci, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and pro-abort Chelsea Clinton… In 2018 it was Katy Perry. This year it’s Chelsea Clinton. Francis is literally hosting the abomination of desolation at the heart of Christendom.

By Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness – Biden is proving the Biden he always was—as incompetent as Jimmy Carter, without the latter’s probity. He may prove as corrupt as Bill Clinton yet without his animal energy. His narcissism matches that of Al Gore and John Kerry, but without even their thin veneer of assumed authority. He is a greater racial divider than Barack Obama but without Obama’s smooth contextualizations… And the media that hated Trump and hyped his coarseness, worships Biden’s as it masks his far greater crudity.

By Ryan T. Anderson, Public Discourse – Resist the temptation to outsource your thinking to a team or a party. Rooting for a team is appropriate in sports, and partisan politics may be a necessity of a political system like ours, but both are detrimental to the intellectual process. Catholics should not think of discussions about the Church’s relationship to American liberalism as a Battle Royal between competing camps—but as a conversation among friends seeking the truth in community. ..

 By Patrick Delaney, LifeSiteNews – One day prior to opening a large “clinic” on campus to provide students with the opportunity to receive injections of the experimental Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, the University of Notre Dame’s executive officers, including President Father John Jenkins, sent a letter to the campus community announcing that all students returning to campus for the fall 2021 semester will be required, with some standard exceptions, “to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.”

By Stefano Gennarini, J.D., LifeSiteNews – U.S. Sec. of State Anthony Blinken made two recent moves that will raise alarms among pro-lifers and other conservatives… First, he “repudiated” the work of the U.S. Commission on Unalienable Rights, founded by former Sec. of State Mike Pompeo and chaired by Harvard Professor Mary Ann Glendon… At the same time, Blinken promised to elevate “sexual and reproductive rights” in the annual human rights report ….

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – A federal judge issued a strong opinion this week in favor of an Ohio law that bans abortions on unborn babies with Down syndrome, arguing that the horrific eugenic beliefs adopted by the Nazis continue today with abortions… On Tuesday, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals allowed Ohio to enforce its Down Syndrome Non-Discrimination Act.

By Edie Heipel, The Federalist – Americans should be outraged their government participates in the wide-scale human trafficking operation that created a market for harvesting the organs of murdered infants… This article contains disturbing information about human dismemberment… Last week, legal accountability group Judicial Watch dropped a bombshell: a nearly 600-page report proving the U.S. government has been buying and trafficking “fresh” aborted baby body parts.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – It’s banning championships and tournaments from being held in states that enact laws governing sports by biology… When it comes to competitive fairness and preserving women’s athletics, the NCAA has declared it will do no such thing. In a recently released statement, the NCAA said it “firmly and unequivocally” supports the inclusion of biological males who “identify” as female in women’s sports.

By Mike Huckabee, The Stream – And so, some Congressional Democrats have gone full-on dictator mode and today  introduced a bill to expand the Supreme Court to 13 Justices. This scheme known as “court-packing” (as usual, they’re trying to redefine the term, but we use words appropriately around here) would let them appoint four more liberal activists to the SCOTUS to outvote the current (occasionally) conservative majority.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – A record number of members of Congress have signed a discharge petition to try to make pro-abortion Speaker Nancy Pelosi allow a vote on the House floor on the Born Alive bill to stop infanticide and protect babies who have survived abortions… Some 202 members signed the discharge petition filed by Representative Kat Cammack (R-Fl.) — who was joined by Steve Scalise (R-La.), the House Whip, and Representative Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) — to bring the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to the House floor for a vote.

By Michael Haynes, LifeSiteNews – Vaccine developers, Mormon elders, pro-abortion Chelsea Clinton, population control advocate Jane Goodall, a New Age activist, a prominent UK Muslim scholar, and a pro-abortion American actress known for posing nude, are all speakers at an upcoming Vatican conference on ‘health.’ There are only two Catholic clergy listed amongst the 114 speakers.

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – Expert warns UK modelers are ‘following the science’ down a rabbit hole… The most deaths in a third coronavirus wave will consist of people who have received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, British scientists are warning in a new doomsday report… Speaking to Church Militant, academic and mental-health ethicist Niall McCrae noted that “the report’s prediction that 70% of COVID-19 deaths will be of dual-vaccinated people is quite startling.”

By Henry Rogers, LifeNews – Over 100 Republicans signed and sent a letter to President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra urging him to not suspend and revise the Protect Life Rule in order to prevent Title X funds from being used for abortion… Becerra and the Biden administration would be undoing the Trump administration’s rules which required organizations that perform abortions or send abortion referrals to do so in separate buildings from those that receive Title X federal funding.

By John Zmirak, The Stream – We satirists are as obsolete as type-writer repairmen, and we ought to just admit it.
And yes, there really are Catholic inquisition re-enactors (some teaching in colleges) who think that the take-away lesson from the bishops’ criminal coverup of priestly sex abuse is simple. Give those very same bishops (like Blaise Cupich) power to arrest any baptized Christian (for instance, a pesky investigative reporter) as a heretic.

By Emma Riley, CNS News – LGBTQ students are suing the U.S. Department of Education because of alleged “discriminatory practices” at Christian universities that receive federal funding and yet impose traditional, Bible-based morals’ rules on their students… Christian or religious schools that receive federal funding currently are allowed under Title IX to obtain a “religious exemption,” which permits them to discriminate against students or actions that violate the institutions’ religious beliefs.

By Mark Alexander, Patriot Post – A contender for my favorite movie line is the faux declaration of shock expressed by the corrupt police prefect, Captain Louis Renault, in the classic 1942 film “Casablanca.” Upon “discovering” there was gambling in “Rick’s Café Américain,” Renault, who is the perennial beneficiary of that illegal enterprise, insists, “I’m shocked — shocked — to find that gambling is going on in here!”

By Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart – Expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices would give liberal justices a nominal 7-6 majority. Congress can set the size of the Supreme Court without a constitutional amendment, though the last president who tried to pack the Supreme Court, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was opposed by his own party… His effort is viewed by historians as a crude power grab — but one that ultimately convinced the Court to stop striking down his New Deal legislation and to allow government powers to grow.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Project Veritas released a new video today exposing CNN Director Charlie Chester, who admitted that his network engaged in propaganda to benefit Biden’s candidacy during the 2020 election to the detriment of then-President Trump… Chester also said CNN has a pre-determined agenda when reporting on COVID-19 and climate change… “Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100% going to say it, and I 100% believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out…I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that”

By Jordan Davidson, The Federalist – The Food and Drug Administration along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are urging COVID-19 vaccination sites to cease administering doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after a minimum of six women in the United States suffered from a type of blood clotting that, in at least one case, was fatal. …

By Jon Miltimore, The Stream – In Michigan, CNN reports that state statics show its case count hit 9,350 on Saturday, the highest since December 7. Its 3-day rolling average on April 4 was 6,995… In Texas, it was 1,646… In other words, as of Sunday, Texas has about one-fourth as many cases as Michigan even though it has zero restrictions — and 20 million more people.

By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews – Californians may exercise their freedom of religion through at-home worship services once again, according to a new ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court… Last Friday night, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to lift COVID-19 restrictions California Gov.

By Craig Bannister, CNSNews – A number of major news organizations worldwide, ranging from Scientific American and The Columbia Journalism Review to The Guardian and Al Jazeera, have signed a pledge to begin referring to “climate change” as a “climate emergency” in their reporting… “Scientific American has agreed with major news outlets worldwide to start using the term ‘climate emergency’ in its coverage of climate change” …

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – Joe Biden’s administration issued a temporary halt to health and safety regulations on abortion drugs Monday, allowing abortion facilities to sell the dangerous drugs through the mail without ever seeing the woman in person… Pro-life leaders warned that the change will put women’s lives at risk as well as their unborn babies and increase the risk of coercion and abuse.

By Mark Alexander, Patriot Post – BLM took in $90 million in “donations” last year alone. So, naturally, why wouldn’t self-proclaimed Marxist Patrisse Cullors, BLM’s 37-year-old high-profile cofounder, not want to cash in some of her chips for a nice house in a white suburb?… BLM got its start with the Zimmerman/Martin race-bait hoax in 2013 and ramped up after the 2014 “hands up, don’t shoot” hoax in Ferguson, Missouri. But BLM solidified its brand after Trump’s election, when the Democrats put their “division and hate political apparatus” in high gear.

By Mike Huckabee, The Stream – The people who attended President Trump’s January 6 rally, some of whom got out of hand and entered the Capitol Building — and a few of whom got way out of hand and confronted Capitol Hill police — have been labeled “domestic terrorists.” This narrative is now used as pretext for virtually everything the left wants to do to take control, including all-out assaults on free speech …

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – The Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would require that a baby who is born alive after a failed or attempted abortion receives the same medical care as any other newborn. It would penalize doctors who allow infants to die or who intentionally kill a newborn following a failed abortion… Republicans in Congress have been trying to pass the legislation for years, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats who control the U.S. House have blocked it almost 80 times.

By Todd Starnes – The National Guard has been called out to put down the unrest in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis. Thugs are clashing with police tonight and looting nearby businesses… The chaos came after a police-involved shooting that left one suspect dead.

By John Solomon, Just the News – Chinese and U.S. aircraft carriers are patrolling near the Taiwan Strait. Taipei is running military drills and increasing emergency defense spending. And America’s top diplomat is upping the ante, starkly warning Beijing not to invade… It is fair to say that all eyes in the world are on the island of Taiwan this spring as Communist China takes an increasingly aggressive posture to a neighbor it has long wanted to annex and reunify with.

By Chris Woodward, Bob Kellogg, OneNewsNow – Kara Zupkus of Young America’s Foundation (YAF) says her organization has received “hundreds and hundreds” of tips since COVID began last year… “I think a part of it is the fact that everything’s online right now, so it’s a lot easier for students to gain … video or audio of their professors going off the rails in class, saying crazy things, and discriminating against conservative students,” Zupkus submits.

By Michael Brown, The Stream – Joe Biden has been President of the United States for less than three months, but already, the fears of many conservatives are being realized. On many different fronts, things are going in a very wrong and dangerous direction. The question is: What can we do about it? How do we respond?.. In no particular order, consider the following… 1) H.R. 1 would dramatically reshape our electoral system so as to cement Democratic rule for decades to come…

Radio Free Asia – Authorities in China are detaining Christians in secretive, mobile “transformation” facilities to make them renounce their faith, RFA has learned… A member of a Christian “house church” in the southwestern province of Sichuan who asked to be identified by a pseudonym Li Yuese said he was held in a facility run by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s United Front Work Department, working in tandem with the state security police, for 10 months after a raid on his church in 2018.

By  Michael J. Matt, Editor, The Remnant – In this week’s episode of The Editor’s Desk, Michael J. Matt hits the following hot topics: President Biden’s super spiritual Easter message… Pope Francis calls on the IMF & World Bank to establish a global governing body… Matt Damon: The Davos/Great Reset guy… Klaus Schwab grew up in Nazi Germany. So why is he still into eugenics?… Is the Fourth Industrial Revolution the Fourth Reich?

By Children’s Health Defense, LifeSiteNews – In a new nationwide online poll conducted by John Zogby Strategies, 32% of respondents said they believe Dr. Anthony Fauci has the “pharmaceutical industry’s best interest at heart,” not the public’s… Among three specific groups, the percentage was even higher: 18- to 29-year-olds (41%), Hispanics (42%) and Blacks (38%). ..

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Another Democrat politician has left the party because of its increasingly radical pro-abortion agenda… North Las Vegas, Nevada Mayor John Lee announced his switch to the Republican Party on Tuesday… “When you’re a pro-life Democrat, a pro-gun Democrat, and you’re a very conservative person, that’s not really well known in the Democratic party anymore. And so for me to hang on as long as I did hoping the party would change, it didn’t. It got worse”

By Joy Pullmann, The Federalist – To explain his veto of a bill that would have protected children from transgender genital mutilation, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson claimed it would be “a vast government overreach.”.. Using language similar to North Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s in vetoing a bill to protect girls’ sports from unfair and irrational transgender male competition, Hutchinson further claimed: I don’t shy away from the battle when it is necessary and defensible. …

By David Carlin, The Catholic Thing – And so we have tens of millions of ordinary Americans, not to mention much of our mainstream media, most of our entertainment industry, and the President of the United States, supporting the really weird idea that an eight-year-old boy can choose to be a girl if he feels like it… We’re passing through a period of collective insanity – let us hope and pray just a temporary insanity. This happened to us once before – in the 1850s when one mad decision after another drove us toward an appalling civil war:

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s statistics, homicides increased by 25% between 2019 and 2020… Riots took over the country last summer, inspired by leftist media and Black Lives Matter, over George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis. Since that started, there has been over $2.2 billion in property damage — the highest price tag for riot damage in U.S. history.

By Michael Haynes, LifeSiteNews – Francis has recently called for a “new world order,” saying that the “drama of wasting” the COVID-19 “crisis” would be worse than the disruption caused by COVID measures across the globe… On that occasion too, he dealt with the topic of salvation, once again viewing it with a purely earthly understanding, and linking salvation to the new world order and a focus of green policies: “The path to humanity’s salvation passes through the creation of a new model of development, which unquestionably focuses on coexistence among peoples in harmony with Creation.”…

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – The former vice president of Pfizer is raising the alarm over a coercive regime of mass gene-based vaccinations resulting in a global digital database that will “provide the perfect tool for totalitarian control” over every human being on earth… In a lengthy interview Friday with British journalist James Delingpole, distinguished biochemist and pharmacologist Dr. Mike Yeadon described the COVID-19 vaccine as a Trojan horse that would be used to build “a common platform database” at a “supranational level.”

By John Binder, Breitbart – Texas AG Ken Paxton (R) and Louisiana AG Jeff Landry (R) have filed suit against The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for “sanctuary country” policies that prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting, detaining, and deporting most illegal aliens… In February, top DHS officials announced sanctuary country policies that prevent ICE agents from arresting and deporting about 9-in-10 illegal aliens who would otherwise be deported.

By Chris Woodward, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – A conservative activist who routinely confronts powerful corporate bosses and their left-wing ideology is praising a newly-formed coalition that is confronting Big Business for partnering with leftists who hate capitalism and for promoting policies that alienate their own customers… Several groups have come together to form Stop Corporate Tyranny with a message to mega-corporations: Go back to selling Dr Pepper and flying planes instead of choosing sides in political and cultural battles.

By Al Perrotta, The Stream – Nature abhors a vacuum. So does the international stage. And with Joe Biden showing all the toughness of tissue paper, our rivals and enemies are on the move to take advantage… Russia has moved heavy artillery and tanks towards the Ukraine border, raising fears of an imminent offensive action. 4,000 heavily armed troops are on the move in Crimea, a US defense official told CNN… Well, how about Russia toying with Alaska? Russia is now spending “hours” in airspace near Alaska, the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command said last week.

By Paul Kengor, EWTN News – MLB actually believes in IDs, too. You need an ID to pick up your tickets or buy a beer at a baseball game. Here’s an experiment for you: Go to the pick-up window of your ballpark this summer and tell the ticket-person you forgot your ID. Good luck getting the tickets you paid for. And yet Major League Baseball cries foul if a state asks for your ID before you vote?

By Dennis Prager, American Greatness – a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on May 21, 2020, concluded: “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – Theologian and exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger posted a video to YouTube in December 2020 called “Spiritual Warfare and Communism.” In it, he explains that much of the Left’s thinking is actually demonic psychology — the same tactics and psychology employed by the fallen angels. He shows that Marxism is, in fact, demonic.

By J. Allen Cartwright, The Federalist – Major League Baseball was hemorrhaging viewers even before its ill-advised decision to “go woke,” with interest in the sport crashing to its lowest levels since 1937, leading to a flurry of rule changes in an attempt to spur interest among new fans. The shortened season and lack of fan attendance due to COVID-19 added to MLB’s misery, causing billions of dollars in lost revenue along with increasing debt.

By Sen. James Inhofe and Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, LifeNews – When President Biden and Vice President Harris were sworn into office, there was a grand celebration by pro-abortion groups. They see the Biden-Harris administration as their chance to dramatically expand access to abortion on demand… They claim that they are trying to resurrect the ERA – even if their actions are unconstitutional – to promote women’s empowerment …

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – Donald Trump, for one, has seen enough. On Friday, he took issue with Major League Baseball’s cowardly and ill-informed boycott of Georgia, which was scheduled to host this year’s All-Star Game and annual draft. “Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans,” he said, “and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to do with our elections ….

The Ken Blackwell, The Stream – Corporate titans tripping over themselves to be “woke” by condemning election integrity laws like Georgia’s S.B. 202… As a shareholder in the ownership of a major sports franchise and a former partner in a broadcast company, I could do whatever I want with profits once they were in my personal pocket. But I could not treat shareholders’ money that way when serving on a board or as a corporate officer.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – The Supreme Court issued an order today that President Donald Trump is now free to block whomever he chooses on Twitter, which will be difficult now that the liberal social media web site has banned his account.

By Mark Alexander, Patriot Post – This week, as we prepare to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, it is a fitting time to raise these issues… Over the last 30 years, I’ve had a front-row seat to the institutional invasion and damage done by the so-called “LGBT(ad nauseam)” cadres of gender-challenged individuals. The militant heterophobic advocacy for homosexual orthodoxy by their group leaders, endeavoring to normalize gender confusion across the social and cultural spectrum, enables the denial of their own pathology.

By Jon Schweppe, First Things – Earlier this month, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-South Dakota) tweeted that she was “excited” to sign House Bill 1217, legislation that would ban biological men from participating in girls’ sports in her state. But two weeks later, she changed her mind, announcing that she would instead be issuing a “style and form” veto of the bill. And on Monday, after these “style and form” changes failed to pass the South Dakota House of Representatives, Noem officially vetoed the bill.

Sponsored by state Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, the bill would require abortionists to check for an unborn baby’s heartbeat and prohibit the abortion if it is detected. It would create criminal penalties for abortionists who violate the measure.

By Christopher Bedford, The Federalist – Not only is normalcy not around the corner, but several states, corporations, and President Joe Biden’s administration are working to institute a COVID regime in the form of “passports” that will haunt, burden, and exclude Americans from a future many of us no longer seem to have a say in. In exchange for an end to lockdowns, we’re offered an unending COVID regime actively championed by corporate media.

By Peter, Complicit Clergy – A pregnant mother holding her one-year-old baby was threatened by her pastor who called the cops to have her arrested.

By Mark Alexander, Patriot Post – What matters most to Biden and Harris is the surge of illegal votes in future elections… There were more border deaths last week.. meaning more blood on Joe Biden’s hands and those of his inept “border czar” and administration puppeteer, Kamala Harris… While promising transparency, Biden administration officials continue to enforce his news blackout on the devastating consequences of their illegal immigrant invitation to come one, come all …

By Christopher Bedford, The Federalist – Open The New York Times’ politics page Thursday morning and the top headline reads, “Democrats Begin Push For Biggest Expansion In Voting Since 1960s.” It’s a story about the most important election power-grab in modern legislative history, with a slim, partisan majority of senators seeking to wrest control of elections away from state governments to ensure Democrat control for decades to come.

By Steve McCann, American Thinker – any thoughtful and unemotional examination of the tactics the Nazi Party used to gain and maintain power in the 1920’s and 30’s will reveal numerous stark similarities to those being used by the left and the Democrat Party today… First, racial division was a central component of Nazi political strategy and philosophy. The Nazi Party was, without doubt, the most racially obsessed political party in human history. Today’s Democrat party is second only to the Nazi Party in their racial obsession. …

By Neil Munro, Breitbart – President Joe Biden’s border agencies are preparing reception centers to help a huge inflow of perhaps 800,000 family migrants this year, along with a record inflow of unaccompanied children and a growing wave of single men, according to media reports… roughly 500,000 to 800,000 migrants to arrive as part of a family group during the 2021 fiscal year that ends in September, a quantity that would equal or exceed the record numbers who entered in 2019…

By Scott Walter, First Things – In 2013, George Zimmerman was acquitted of the charge of murdering Trayvon Martin, a black teenager. This was the spark that lit the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM). Three self-described “radical black organizers” responded: Alicia Garza coined the phrase in a “love letter” to black people, Patrisse Cullors turned the phrase into a hashtag, and Opal Tometi started organizing followers online and building BlackLivesMatter.com.

By William L. Gensert, LifeSiteNews – The COVID social experiment in control was a smashing success. Yet, with COVID winding down, Democrats need a new apocalypse… Fortuitously, “climate change” is perfect. Faux though its existentialism may be, as a crisis with broad support among the elite left and their minions, it is a cataclysm made to order… People will not see the scam until it is too late.

By Liberty Counsel – A federal judge ruled yesterday that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s numerical and percentage cap restrictions on churches “discriminate against houses of worship.”… Judge Trevor McFadden, nominated by President Trump in 2017 to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, ended the 250-person cap and 25 percent limit on church services stating that the attendance restrictions are unconstitutional and an outlier in comparison to the rest of the country.

By Josh Hammer, American Greatness – The latest horrific mass shooting in America, this time roughly 30 miles from my Denver home, happened on Monday.

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant – Britain’s government intentionally deployed tactics of psychological warfare used in wartime and by totalitarian regimes to turn its citizens into “compliant subjects of lockdown,” an Oxford academic is revealing… The SPI-B, a sub-group of the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), in its paper of March 22, 2020, marked a transition from public information campaigns supplying facts to the use of subliminal manipulation, writes Dr. James Moreton Wakeley.

By Stella Morabito, The Federalist – “So, how would it ever be possible for a free society like America to succumb to such tyrannical forces?… in this three-part series, I hope to map out six stages that lead us into this dangerous direction. Within each phase, several trends take hold. … 1.) Laying the groundwork, 2.) Propaganda, 3.) Agitation, 4.) State takeover of society’s institutions, 5.) Coercing conformity, 6.) Final solutions.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Senate Democrats this afternoon approved the nomination of abortion activist Rachel Levine to be Assistant Health Secretary.

By LifeSiteNews – Our nation’s capital is now occupied by a regime that is antithetical to American exceptionalism; freedom of religion, assembly, and commerce; and free and fair elections… They hold the U.S. Capitol and White House hostage as they allow invaders to storm in through the southern border… It’s as if the driving purpose underlying all of their actions is to foment hate and force isolation.

By Star Parker, Patriot Post – The New York Times quoted one such asylum seeker from Bolivia. “He’s our only hope,” she said of President Biden. “With Trump there was no hope. … Everything was going backward, backward, backward.” Not surprisingly, Mayorkas put the blame on former President Donald Trump… A ramped-up wave of migrants trying to enter illegally is Trump’s fault, per Mayorkas, not because he secured our borders but because he cut foreign aid to these Central American countries.

By  Michael J. Matt, Editor, The Remnant – Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America: We proudly handed the Biden Administration the most secure border in history. All they had to do was keep this smooth-running system on autopilot. Instead, in the span of a just few weeks, the Biden Administration has turned a national triumph into a national disaster. They are in way over their heads and taking on water fast.

By Michael F. Haverluck, OneNewsNow – “The Department of Health and Human Services has the broadest authority of any agency over federal policies affecting abortion and conscience rights for health care providers,” says Semelsberger. “[But] Becerra has made it clear through his nomination process that he does not intend to champion a unifying health care response to the pandemic, but rather he plans to export the pro-abortion policies he championed in California across the whole country.”

Zen, the emeritus bishop of Hong Kong, has been a zealous critic of the Vatican’s 2018 provisional agreement with the Chinese Communist Party, or the politically-correct “People’s Republic of China.” He said in the interview that the agreement, which to this day has not been publicly released, gives to the CCP the power to appoint bishops and puts at risk of greater persecution many of the underground Catholics in China… He criticized that agreement, calling it “immoral” and “against the Catholic conscience.” That document, Zen said, is “blatantly evil, immoral, because it legitimizes a schismatic Church!”

By Fr. John Hollowell, Crisis Magazine – The implication of Canon 1375 is that it is a grave offense for a Catholic politician to vote for or pass any law that in any way interferes with the Catholic Church’s freedom to minister… Canon 1375 also applies at the state and local level. Any bishop who feels that ecclesial ministry has been impeded by a state law that was voted on by any Catholic politician or signed into law by a Catholic governor… could apply a just penalty to that Catholic politician, or politicians, including excommunication. …

By Steve McCann, American Thinker – The American Left and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Democrat party, has declared war on America by openly and ruthlessly attacking American society, its norms and foundational principles.  While they previously had been somewhat restrained in their efforts to transform the nation, any pretense of subtlety has now been abandoned.  Consequently, their asinine and self-indulgent theories and totalitarian tactics are on display for all to see.

By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews – A weary world took to the streets this weekend to demand an end to governments’ attempts to stop the draconian coronavirus regulations that have become an oppressive fixture of life almost everywhere… On March 20, marking the first anniversary of coronavirus lockdowns in several nations, participants in the “Worldwide Rally for Freedom” marched in Canada, the USA, Uruguay, Argentina, Ireland, Britain, Norway, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Ukraine, Japan, and Australia, among other countries, to protest lockdowns, mask mandates, and the coercive promotion of the COVID-19 vaccines …

By Nate Jackson, Patriot Post – If the CDC had begun last year with social-distancing guidelines of three feet instead of six, schools might not have closed, which harmed children in incalculable ways… The effect was, as Mark Alexander wrote last week, “wrecking the U.S. economy and millions of American lives.”… Nevertheless, the CDC officially announced Friday its new guidance of just three feet between students. Still, adults must remain six feet apart and masks should remain mandatory.

By Alexander Hall, LifeNews – Former President Donald Trump has declared institutional independence by starting his own platform! Both Trump and his adviser Jason Miller have given hints about Trump’s upcoming platform in recent days… Trump’s grand re-entry to social media will be with his own platform, and it may occur within the next few months. “I’m doing things having to do with putting our own platform out there that you’ll be hearing about soon,” Trump explained to Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe in the debut episode of her “The Truth” podcast on March 22. ..

By Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist – “It should be borne in mind that the first step taken by any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications, particularly the delivery of news,” wrote Judge Laurence Silberman of the D.C. Circuit for the Court of Appeals. “It is fair to conclude, therefore, that one-party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy.”

By Victor Davis Hanson, Townhall – Dr. Fauci has not just been flat-out wrong on the science of COVID—in his assessments of the origins and possible dangers of COVID-19, of when we can get back to normal, of when the vaccinations would appear, and of which particular governors have been doing the most or least effective management of the disease. He has also, by his own admission, deliberately lied.

By Jeff Crouere, American Thinker – Fauci is irritating for a number of reasons.  He loves the media and is constantly on television, pontificating about COVID-19.  If he provided a consistent, reassuring message, his words of wisdom would be appreciated.  Unfortunately, he is inconsistent, and his changing stories have left Americans confused and dejected about our future.  Fauci has frightened countless people with his doom-and-gloom prognostications about COVID and our future coexistence with the disease.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – The Democrat Gazette reports three Democrats walked out as retired Pastor Happy Caldwell prayed Thursday in the state House… “I would just like to say thank you for the pro-life legislation that’s come out of this state,” Caldwell told lawmakers. “Arkansas has set a leadership pace for the rest of the nation to follow.”

By Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine – (W)e are humans, and we have faces, and this is one of the primary ways we communicate with each other, with our loved ones, friends, even strangers. We are people of faces. Take faces away and the damage done to human interaction, to human relationships, because we cover our faces is incalculable.

By Declan Leary, Crisis Magazine – Though the politics of the USCCB are rather more complex than we are often led to believe, there is at least one issue on which the bishops’ conference is reliably (and disastrously) left-wing: immigration. Who can forget the image of El Paso’s Bishop Mark Seitz physically escorting a family of five Honduran nationals across the U.S. border and into his diocesan territory?

By Chad Groening, Billy Davis, OneNewsNow – “You will never again see free and fair elections in the United States,” Frank Gaffney, who leads the Center for Security Policy, says of the controversial For the People Act. “You will forever, I’m afraid, be locked out because the people who stole the last election will be able to steal every one going forward.”… Gaffney’s stark warning about the election bill, and his accusation of a stolen presidential election last November …

By Thaddeus G. McCotter, American Greatness -Thus, for these cosseted Amcom ingrates who enjoy the rights, riches, and privileges—if not the responsibilities—of our exceptional nation, it is rank mendacity to allege our nation’s gravest threat is “white supremacy” and systemic racism, which are both exceedingly vile and extremely rare. What is the true threat to America? The systemic Communism of the Amcom woke supremacy—largely funded through your taxpayer, tuition, and consumer dollars—which they are using to infringe, erode, and end our God-given freedoms.

By Raymond Wolfe, LifeSiteNews – The laptop scandal is far worse/darker than you even thought… Stunning revelations about Hunter Biden and his family’s notorious business dealings came to light in this week’s episode of the John-Henry Westen Show during an interview with Jack Maxey, former co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room and one of the first people to go through the contents of Biden’s alleged laptop last October.

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – A California bill that purports to remove police officers engaged in “hate speech” would allow the government to discriminate against peaceful pro-lifers, conservatives and people of faith, state pro-life leaders warned… The new California Law Enforcement Accountability Reform Act (Assembly Bill 655) would “root out” police officers and potential hires for “hate speech” and their connections to “hate groups” by requiring law enforcement agencies to screen potential hires for “hate.”

By LifeSiteNews – SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser slammed the vote, saying: The so-called “Equal Rights Amendment” may as well be called the Abortion Rights Act, as it would usher in extreme policy implications by enshrining a “right” to abortion in the U.S. Constitution alongside the foundational principles of our great nation. Abortion is the greatest violation of human rights in our day – the clear antithesis of equality. Its ratification would mean the indefinite blocking of state and federal policy to protect the rights of children in the womb.

By Dennis Prager, The Stream – If one were to draw up a list of human needs, food and shelter would be at the top… With great respect to Freudians, sex would not be No. 2… The need for meaning would be second only to the need for food… That meaning is more important to happiness than sex is easily shown. A great many people go long periods without sex, and while many of them miss it, if they have meaning in their lives, they can lead quite happy and fulfilling lives. On the other hand, few people who have regular sex but lack meaning are happy or fulfilled. ..

CNA – While the White House on Monday would not respond to the Vatican’s statement on marriage, press secretary Jen Psaki said that President Biden supports same-sex unions… On Monday, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) issued a response to a question on the Church’s power to bless same-sex unions. The CDF said that the Church does not have the power to bless same-sex unions or any relations “that involve sexual activity outside of marriage.”

By Paul Murano, Church Militant – Drew Hernandez: “These cartels have price tags on human beings. … The only way you see getting into the United States — the cartels will literally tell these people, hey, if you have a minor with you we’ll give you a lower price of $3,200; we’ll give you a safe passage across the border.”… Others have been bought and sold for sex trafficking or child slavery or for smuggling drugs and weapons into the United States.

By John Solomon, Just the News – Long after former President Donald Trump dropped his legal challenges to the 2020 election, some courts in battleground states are beginning to declare the way widespread absentee ballots were implemented or counted violated state laws… The latest ruling came this month in Michigan, where the State Court of Claims concluded that Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s instructions on signature verification for absentee ballots violated state law.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture – In an epilogue to American Awakening, written after the Covid-inspired lockdown of society took hold, Mitchell observes that the mandated public-health measures—social distancing, eliminating gatherings, wearing masks—further undermine the healthy functioning of a free society. Zoom meetings and “virtual” public meetings are no substitute for the old town meetings that won Tocqueville’s admiration.

By Angela Kelley, American Greatness – You’re not stupid, folks. The emperor has no clothes. The swindlers around Joe Biden have been telling us he is competent. They tell us he is “moderate,” even after signing the most progressive and expensive pork-laden pretend relief bill this country has ever seen. They say he cares about people at the border, even after he quickly put kids back in the facilities formerly known as “cages,” and we are expected to believe that if it wasn’t for him and his administration ….

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – David Daleiden, the investigative journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood’s baby body parts trade, is finding support from some unlikely allies as he fights in court for journalistic freedom… People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), 20 state attorneys general and others recently filed legal briefs supporting Daleiden and the freedom of the press, his legal team said this week.

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine – Only God is worthy of sublime pursuit, only He warrants divinization. “Put not your trust in princes,” we are told in Scripture, “in the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.” Joe Biden will not save us… Only God can save us, which He is eager to do so long as we do not substitute some lesser good for Him… If you want to save the world, which every young idealist aspires to do, it is best to begin at home; that way, having first tried to perfect yourself, you’ll then have something to offer the planet.

By Trey Blanton, Church Militant – Communist-globalists recognized the threat Trump posed to their agenda and drastically increased its attack on society. Censorship, currently, is bludgeoning Christian and conservative speech into timid non-existence… Conservative politician Josh Hawley had his book pulled from publication after he spoke out for election integrity… Catholic publishers, rather than standing up to the corrosive mob, are preemptively canceling its writers …

By Mat Staver, Steve Stiger, Liberty Counsel – … discuss the serious implications of the so-called “Equality Act” that will affect every Christian… The proposed legislation is the most extreme threat to religious freedom, free speech, privacy and women’s rights ever proposed by Congress. Imagine legislation that will tear down all existing gender protection in churches, schools and hospitals. This will allow boys in girls’ sports, boys in girls’ locker rooms, boys in girls’ bathrooms and so much more….

By Dave Andrusko, LifeNews – Like you, I’ve been around the track more than enough times to instantly know that when pro-abortionists make pronouncements,  it requires a presentation that is rife with falsehoods, dripping with distortions, and/or teeming with misrepresentations. Why? To give a surface plausibility to  their counter-intuitive conclusion. This is especially true with the topic is the pro-abortion presidency of Joe Biden.

By Regis Nicoll, Crisis Magazine – If you’ve scratched your head over the latest of the ever-growing number of things (like algebra and Beethoven) that has “become” racist, you can blame your confusion on radical leftist Saul Alinsky… Alinsky once said, “He who controls the language controls the masses.” Today, the masses are being played by some novel concepts derived neither from Webster nor Scripture but straight from the lexicon of Critical Theory.

By Mark Alexander, Patriot Post – He reiterated this week: “Lockdowns are the single worst public health mistake in the last 100 years. We will be counting the catastrophic health and psychological harms, imposed on nearly every poor person on the face of the earth, for a generation. At the same time, they have not served to control the epidemic in the places where they have been most vigorously imposed

By John Zmirak, The Stream – If you’re not a hard-core traditional Catholic, you might not know much about Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. He is the whistleblower among our bishops. Viganò revealed that Pope Francis knew all about then-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick’s sexual harassment of young seminarians… In an interview with a German newspaper this month, Archbishop Viganò issued a stark, even apocalyptic warning. If you read the Christian press, you probably come across dire accounts of the dangers of “Christian Nationalism.” But Viganò points to the exact opposite threat: Woke Globalism.
