Hillary Clinton’s New Campaign

October 24, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Hillary Clinton’s New Campaign

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY Former Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York was out campaigning again last week, but this time it was not for the presidency of the United States.It was for an amendment proposed to the California state constitution that would create a “right” to abortion.Clinton moderated a forum at a Planned Parenthood facility in San Francisco on Thursday, October 13 to promote this proposed amendment.Back in June, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the issue of abortion to the states. The California state legislature then voted by greater-than-two-thirds majorities in both of its houses to place a constitutional amendment on the state’s November…Continue Reading

Water And Fires In Florida

October 23, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Water And Fires In Florida

By BARBARA SIMPSON Americans have seen the headlines and the terrible pictures from Florida and the other states battered by Hurricane Ian. It was beyond awful. Complete destruction of towns and cities and homes and businesses to say nothing of the destruction of the beautiful nature of the area.For those who remember it as it was, they will never adjust to how it will look when repairs and reconstruction are completed. The memories will remain, and the past cannot be replaced.While officials are dealing with the reality of the damage and death, a new and dangerous threat has surfaced, one which most people never considered. Just what they needed: battery fires in electric cars that are not only dangerous in…Continue Reading

Where U.S. And Ukrainian War Aims Collide

October 22, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Where U.S. And Ukrainian War Aims Collide

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN To President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukraine, Crimea and the Donbas are national territories whose retrieval justifies all-out war to expel the invading armies of Vladimir Putin’s Russia.Yet, who controls Crimea and the Donbas has, in the history of U.S.-Russian relations, never been an issue to justify a war between us.America has never had a vital interest in who rules in Kyiv.Through the nineteenth and almost all of the twentieth century, Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire or the USSR, ruled from Moscow. And that condition presented no issue of concern to the USA, 5,000 miles away.For us, the crucial concern in this Ukraine-Russia war is not who ends up in control of Crimea and the…Continue Reading

The First Step To Pulling America Out Of Its Tailspin

October 19, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on The First Step To Pulling America Out Of Its Tailspin

By NEIL PATEL The bad news for America keeps coming in, fast and heavy. The current and future challenges are lining up at a truly unprecedented rate. To say they look scary would be a huge understatement. America’s future is on the line. Unless the country starts healing, that future looks bleak.In the near term, on the economic front alone, there is inflation, recession, and the potential for the dreaded stagflation of the 1970s (continued inflation coupled with unemployment/recession). On top of this is an energy security crisis with the potential for supply shortages and even blackouts, almost all self-inflicted and driven by an overaggressive transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy before the technology was ready.On immigration, America’s border…Continue Reading

Who Are The Neofascists?

October 18, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Who Are The Neofascists?

By STEPHEN MOORE In just the last few weeks, Liz Truss, Britain’s new prime minister, has been denounced by critics as a “fascist.” So has Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s newly elected prime minister. Along with all Republicans in Congress, Texas and Florida GOP Governors Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis, and, of course, former President Donald Trump. Every one of the tens of thousands of “MAGA Republicans” who attend Trump rallies, too.Dangerous fascists, for that matter, all of whom critics say need to be shut up.Truss is a fascist because she wants to cut taxes. Meloni is a fascist, and getting banned from several social media platforms, because she gave a rousing speech endorsing God, family, and country. What a dangerous tyrant.…Continue Reading

Hurricanes And Humility

October 17, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Hurricanes And Humility

By FR. MICHAEL P. ORSI Few of us have servants these days, and it’s not just because they’re so expensive. Modern ideas about equality tend to make people uncomfortable with the idea of someone waiting on them hand and foot, doing things they would normally do for themselves.This is why we often react negatively to certain Bible passages. An example is the scene in Luke’s Gospel where Jesus appears to be putting down His disciples as “unprofitable servants” who have done merely what they are “obliged” to do.In actuality, the Lord is teaching them an important lesson about the virtue of humility, a virtue He holds in high regard. A few chapters later, He demonstrates humility in Himself when He…Continue Reading

The Storm From Hades

October 16, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on The Storm From Hades

By BARBARA SIMPSON The early reports of the storm system forming in the Caribbean did not indicate that it would be a killer but that soon changed. As the system moved through islands — hitting Cuba and blindsiding Puerto Rico — and into open seas heading north and west toward the U.S. mainland, all those reports changed.The storm, named “Hurricane Ian,” kept moving and gaining in strength. Despite that, no one really admitted at first, at least publicly, how big it was and indeed how dangerous. Expected to hit Florida first, the state issued warnings to the population to make their storm preparations, something not unusual for Floridians.As the storm moved north and west, areas of Florida, along the Gulf…Continue Reading

Washington Post Worried America Has Too Many Catholic Hospitals

October 15, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Washington Post Worried America Has Too Many Catholic Hospitals

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY The Washington Post published a story on October 10 that carried the following headline: “Spread of Catholic hospitals limits reproductive care across the U.S.”What did this newspaper mean by the euphemistic term “reproductive care”?It meant, among other things, terminating a human life.The subhead to the story said: “Religious doctrine restricts access to abortion and birth control and limits treatment options for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies.”“Catholic systems now control about 1 in 7 U.S. hospital beds, requiring religious doctrine to guide treatment, often to the surprise of patients,” said the Post. “Their ascendancy has broad implications for the evolving national battle over reproductive rights beyond abortion, as bans against it take hold in more than a dozen…Continue Reading
