Pope Francis Has Died Aged 88

VATICAN CITY  –– Pope Francis has died today, aged 88.

The Holy See Press Office announced the news, writing:

A short while ago, His Eminence Cardinal Farrell announced with sorrow the death of Pope Francis with these words:

“Dear brothers and sisters, it is with deep sorrow that I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.

At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the Father’s house. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church.

He taught...

The Great Consternation

A great consternation boils and bubbles across the land as the sinister forces of Jacobin lawfare keep up their legalistic battery against the nation. You better believe that the country will not stand for much more of this lunatic judicial coup aimed at wrecking the authority of law itself, and with that, any chance for sane management of our affairs.

On Saturday, the activist org Indivisible, sponsored by Linked-In billionaire Reid Hoffman and dark money “pass through” funder the Tides Foundat...

The Deportation Issue Is: Do You Prefer White Liberal States to Hispanic States?

Like Trump’s on-off-on tariffs, the US Supreme Courts rulings are off-on-maybe-we will see.

Last week the Court overruled Boasberg and said that Trump had the authority to deport illegal aliens.  But by the time last Saturday arrived, the Court had changed its mind and “paused” the deportation of illegal entrants.  The Court now has decided that those who had entered the US illegally, thus committing a crime, had the right to challenge their deportation in US courts.

Here is the Supreme Court’s ...

The Suppression of Christianity in Its Birthplace

My rewrite of the famous quote by Lord Palmerston regarding “interests” to have it reflect the reality of Israel and its powerful friends would go something like this: “I say that it is a narrow policy to suppose that Israel is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual friend of the United States and of enlightened western values. By design, Israel has no eternal allies. Its interests are indeed perpetual but center on its own success at aggressively portraying itself always as the v...

Trump vs. Harvard in a Political Wrestling Match

Back when I was a young child my grandfather enjoyed watching professional wrestling on his old black-and-white television, so I occasionally did the same.

In those distant days, television wrestling possessed almost no money nor prestige and was barely even considered a real sport, probably tied with roller derby as occupying the bottommost-tier of audience viewership. Wrestling matches were only carried on one of the lowest-rated local television stations, unaffiliated with any network, whose ...

‘I Want a Death That the World Will Hear’

Israel assassinated a photojournalist in Gaza in an airstrike targeting her family’s home on Wednesday, the day after it was announced that a documentary she appears in would premier in Cannes next month.

Her name was Fatima Hassouna. Nine members of her family were also reportedly killed in the bombing. She was going to get married in a few days.

The documentary is titled Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk, and it’s about Israel’s crimes in Gaza.

In an Instagram post from August of last year, ...

Survival Or Looting? What Trump’s Revolution Is Really About

Many people, including me, are still not sure what Trump’s revolution – in trade, international relations and in his fight against the U.S government at large – is all about.

Trump, it seems, sees that the current path the U.S. is on, with ever increasing deficits and debt, is unsustainable. He and his people argue that the dollar as a reserve currency is doing more harm than good for the country. They point to the decrease in manufacturing as the main symptom of a larger disease.

They believe i...

European Union Bans Commemorating the Defeat of Nazi Germany

Now, a new low in degeneration has been reached. The EU is banning homage to those who defeated Nazism.

The European Union is warning European leaders not to attend the 80th anniversary of Victory Day in Moscow on May 9.

Ostensibly, the rationale for such a ban is that Russia is allegedly waging a war against Ukraine and threatening the rest of Europe, according to the EU. That’s one way of seeing it.

Another way of seeing the matter is that the conflict in Ukraine is a proxy war sponsored by th...

What Would Jesus Do?

When did Jesus say it was acceptable to starve the poor, slaughter women and children while turning a blind eye to the suffering of the weak? The answer, of course, is never. Yet for years, a vocal strain of American Christian Zionist leaders have supported policies that do precisely that—enabling the starvation and slaughter of Palestinians while underwriting broader wars that have decimated ancient Christian communities across the Middle East. How did we arrive at a place where those who claim...
