Progressive Plans Will Create Political Mischief

April 15, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Progressive Plans Will Create Political Mischief

By MIKE MANNO I’m not sure that the public quite understood what he meant when then-candidate Barack Obama pledged to “fundamentally change” the United States. At the time of Mr. Obama’s inauguration in January of 2009, who would have guessed that large segments of the population would now be accepting of same-sex marriage, unregulated immigration, post-birth abortions, and the concept that gender is fluid and can be changed at will? Or, for that matter, that our president was a Russian mole? I don’t know if all of these things would have exploded after the 2016 election had Hillary Clinton been elected. I wonder sometimes if she would have steered a slightly more moderate course; after all, she wouldn’t have needed…Continue Reading

So Deep The Poison . . . Dad Rejoices At Grandchild’s Death

April 14, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on So Deep The Poison . . . Dad Rejoices At Grandchild’s Death

By DEXTER DUGGAN The middle-aged man in a sweater, who looked like he might spend weekends thoughtlessly popping potato chips into his mouth as he watches sports on TV, was deeply grateful, with a touch of anxiety. “I really appreciate what you’ve done for us. I’ll never forget it,” he said to an employee as he walked away supporting his teenage daughter. The man wasn’t pleased because an entertainment broker finally managed to find him some discounted Super Bowl tickets. He was grateful because he’d been able to push his reluctant daughter into killing his grandchild at a Texas Planned Parenthood. He didn’t know that his young daughter was bleeding to death after the Planned Parenthood abortionist perforated her uterus,…Continue Reading

Democrats’ 13-Ring Circus

April 13, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Democrats’ 13-Ring Circus

By CHRISTOPHER MANION The Democrat primary wagon rolls along, full of big smiles and sharp elbows. The two front runners — in front because they have been around so long that folks have actually heard of them — are former Vice-President Joe Biden and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. Biden might have done quite well against Trump in 2016, but, as they say in the Senate Republican cloakroom, it “wasn’t Joe’s turn.” That slot belonged to Hillary, so she was duly nominated, ran, and lost. Is it Joe’s turn now? Maybe not. In fact, his campaign is taking a turn for the worse. That’s because over a dozen other Democrats think it’s their turn, so old “rollin’ eyes, rovin’ hands Joe”…Continue Reading

The Wanderer Takes Action . . . The Movie All America Must See

April 12, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on The Wanderer Takes Action . . . The Movie All America Must See

By REY FLORES A few weeks ago, you read my review of Unplanned, the film that has taken America by storm. On its opening weekend, the film was a hit, despite the fact most media refused to sell advertising space to the film’s studio. This success did not happen as a fluke. Pro-life activists across the land rallied their troops to help make this true story of a former Planned Parenthood clinic director turned pro-lifer a smash hit. Of all the markets where the film opened across the country, two very dedicated individuals put their thinking caps on and got the support of family, friends, donors, anyone who they could bring onboard in the St. Louis, Mo., metro area. The…Continue Reading

2020: Socialist America Or Trump’s America?

April 12, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on 2020: Socialist America Or Trump’s America?

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN In the new Democratic Party, where women and people of color are to lead, and the white men are to stand back, the presidential field has begun to sort itself out somewhat problematically. According to a RealClearPolitics average of five polls between mid-March and April 1, four white men — Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, “Beto” O’Rourke, and Pete Buttigieg — have corralled 62 percent of all Democratic voters. The three white women running — Senators Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Kirsten Gillibrand — have, together, a piddling 8 percent. The lone Hispanic candidate, Julian Castro, is at 1 percent. African-American candidates Kamala Harris and Cory Booker fare better, with Harris at 10 and Booker at 3.…Continue Reading

Proselytization Vs. Evangelization

April 11, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Proselytization Vs. Evangelization

By SHAUN KENNEY Pope Francis is worried about proselytization. Thank God he is, because the secular left has been doing a great deal of proselytization over the last 20 years on topics such as abortion, transgenderism, homosexual marriage, feminism qua promiscuity, globalization and the like! Yet that wasn’t quite the proselytization with which Francis was particularly preoccupied. Namely, while on his whirlwind tour of Islamic countries, Francis seems to be confirming an old principle among the Islamic nations that faith cannot be coerced. It sounds weird to American ears, but in Islam there is a dual purpose at play. Most major sects of Islam do indeed believe that one can coerce belief, whether through laws or institutions. As the Western…Continue Reading

Two Sets Of Young People… Try To Expand Freedom In Other Countries And Save It Back Here

April 9, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Two Sets Of Young People… Try To Expand Freedom In Other Countries And Save It Back Here

By DEXTER DUGGAN SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The young Polish man said that people in his homeland, still struggling with the effects of being in a post-Communist society, “look at you like a weirdo” if you just try to talk to them on the street. Adding that people in the United States are much more open, Krzysztof Moszynski told an evening gathering which applauded and laughed that he wants to “learn about this culture, then go back to Poland and spread it all over.” Almost as if to confirm that anyone might be out and about here, none other than former California member of Congress Barry Goldwater Jr. walked into the March 27 fund-raiser in this Phoenix suburb for Project Arizona,…Continue Reading

A Faustian Bargain Against Catholic Adoption Agencies

April 8, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on A Faustian Bargain Against Catholic Adoption Agencies

By MIKE MANNO St. Vincent Catholic Charities in Michigan operates like many similar agencies across the United States in partnering with state and local governments to recruit and support foster and adoptive families. In 2017 alone, St. Vincent recruited more adoptive families than ninety percent of other agencies in its service area. St. Vincent, however, has one big problem: It is Catholic and it operates by its Catholic principles, which means it would not place children in homes with unmarried cohabitants or same-sex couples. It never prevented any other agency from doing so; it simply refused to do so on principle. In 2017, as I’ve reported here before, a lesbian couple made an inquiry at St. Vincent, but was referred…Continue Reading

Massive Border Invasion . . . Reaches Point Where Survival Of U.S. Cast Into Doubt

April 7, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Massive Border Invasion . . . Reaches Point Where Survival Of U.S. Cast Into Doubt

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Swelling waves of illegal immigrants take a steady course northward to break the law, while President Trump is sent spinning in circles if he tries to enforce it. The unauthorized immigrants are welcomed to cascade into the United States by law-enforcement officials working along the line who accommodate their arrival but who, at least theoretically, are tasked with stopping them. Lawbreakers are rewarded while law enforcers are hassled and harassed by judicial elitists, and by politicians who never viewed, from afar, an unfortunate person without scheming to see how the downtrodden can be manipulated to benefit them at the next election. Trump is smacked down by lawless judges who scold him for trying to protect…Continue Reading

Fear, Fraternity, And History

April 6, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Fear, Fraternity, And History

By CHRISTOPHER MANION In an interview during his recent trip to Morocco, Pope Francis took a swipe at Europe’s Catholic populist movements. These groups are gaining popularity in many EU member states, rising in defense of the uniquely Christian character of Europe and their own countries. Meanwhile, the secular, centralized European Union bureaucracy fights to maintain its power, joining the Pope in opposing the populist movement. Pope Francis is torn: While he condemns the EU’s secularism, he strongly supports its advocacy of massive immigration from Africa and the Middle East. “I see,” he said, that many people of good will, not only Catholics, but good people, of good will, are a little gripped by the fear that is the usual…Continue Reading
