By TERENCE P. JEFFREY Justice Byron White, who wrote some of the most important conservative Supreme Court opinions in the latter half of the twentieth century, was not nominated by a Republican president but by President John F. Kennedy.“His character, experience and intellectual force qualify him superbly for service on the nation’s highest tribunal,” Kennedy said in announcing White’s nomination.“He has excelled in everything he has attempted — in his academic life, in his military service, in his career before the bar and in the Federal government — and I know that he will excel on the highest court in the land,” said Kennedy.And he did.In 1973, White joined Justice William Rehnquist as one of two dissenters from the court’s…Continue Reading

Conservatives Are Dying For A House Speaker Like Pelosi

December 2, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Conservatives Are Dying For A House Speaker Like Pelosi

By NEIL PATEL Nancy Pelosi will rightfully go down as one of the greatest speakers in the history of the U.S. House. I’m not sure I would agree with Pelosi on a single policy issue; that’s not the point. As far as leadership ability and political smarts, Pelosi ran circles around the bumbling Republicans of her time. She got things done for the left in a way no recent Republican leader could for the right.When the stakes were highest, she was able to corral her votes. Simultaneously, when the far left went too far, she was willing to slap them down. There’s a name for all this. It’s called leadership. Republicans are desperate for a leader like this in the…Continue Reading

November 30, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on They Claim Abortion Is Safe… Then Hide How Abortions Kill and Injure Women

By KRISTAN HAWKINS WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeNews) — On the surface level, it seems our federal health officials err very much on the side of caution, even when the evidence is minimal. In February 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an official warning to consumers about Abbott brands of baby formula following a possible contamination at a factory that might have been linked to some illnesses or deaths.During the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA put a sharp halt on some vaccines in light of one death and several other complications. This summer, the FDA denied JUUL authorization to market e-cigarettes even though “the FDA has not received clinical information to suggest an immediate hazard.” The possibility of…Continue Reading

A Book Review . . . Theism Reconsidered

November 28, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on A Book Review . . . Theism Reconsidered

By GARY BULLERT Paul Herrick’s latest book, Philosophy, Reasoned Belief, and Faith (University of Notre Dame Press, 2022, 459 pages, $45.00), constitutes the capstone of a forty-year career as an instructor, professional philosopher, and author. It augments more synoptically his earlier book, Think with Socrates: An Introduction to Critical Thinking. Like Socrates, philosophy is a way of life, not a hobby.Though Herrick didn’t walk barefoot through the streets of Seattle, engaging his fellow citizens in civil discourse (a perilous enterprise), he maintained for decades an active network of colleagues. This dialogue, exemplifying the Socratic Method, is alluded to throughout the book. It facilitated sharpening and clarifying his examination of classical/contemporary philosophical issues. These include proofs of God’s existence, the problem…Continue Reading

The Blessing And Its Counterfeits

November 27, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on The Blessing And Its Counterfeits

By DONALD DeMARCO The blessing, whether it is formal or informal, administered by clergy or laymen, performed in church or at home, is an everyday occurrence in Catholic life. It is a way in which God’s grace is invoked to benefit its intended recipient.We bless our house, our food, our religious articles, people who are sick, a couple who marries, and anyone who is in need of comfort. The New Testament records Jesus blessing children, His apostles, the infirm, loaves for the 5,000, and the Bread at the Last Supper. The Mass concludes with a blessing. Blessings are used as a form of thank you — “bless you for your kindness.”The Catechism of the Catholic Church informs us that any…Continue Reading

November 26, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Putin’s “Winter War” On Ukraine

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN Winter has often proven an indispensable ally of Mother Russia.The impending winter of 1812-13 forced Napoleon’s withdrawal from Moscow, a retreat from which his Grande Armée never recovered.The winter of 1941-1942 sealed the ultimate fate of the invading armies of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.Vladimir Putin’s new strategy in the war he launched on Ukraine in February is to conscript the coming winter of 2022-2023 as an ally of his failing army.For weeks, there have been reports of Russian air, missile, and drone strikes on power plants in every major Ukrainian city.The false report that a Russian-fired rocket had landed in Poland, killing two civilians, came on a day when 100 Russian bombs, rockets, missiles, and drones…Continue Reading

November 25, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on But The Catholic Bishops Just Rebuked Her… Nancy Pelosi Claims She’s a “Devout Catholic”

By STEVEN ERTELT WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeNews) — During her farewell address as Speaker to fellow Democrats on November 17, Nancy Pelosi called herself a “devout Catholic.” But nothing could be further from the truth.“I stand before you as Speaker of the House, as a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a devout Catholic, a proud Democrat, and a patriotic American — a citizen of the greatest Republic in the history of the world,” Pelosi said.But Nancy Pelosi has probably been the least devout Catholic speaker in history. She presided over passing bills for abortions up to birth, forcing Americans to fund abortions and even denied a vote on a bill to stop infanticide 80 times.In fact the nation’s Catholic bishops just…Continue Reading

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY Two weeks after he was inaugurated, President Joe Biden traveled over to the State Department to deliver a speech about his foreign policy.One point he repeatedly stressed in that speech: He was not going to let the People’s Republic of China take advantage of the United States.“American leadership must meet this new moment of advancing authoritarianism, including the growing ambitions of China to rival the United States,” Biden said at the beginning of his speech.“We must start with diplomacy rooted in America’s most cherished democratic values: defending freedom, championing opportunity, upholding universal rights, respecting the rule of law and treating every person with dignity,” Biden said.“And we’ll also take on directly the challenges posed by our…Continue Reading
