April 2, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Asia’s Autocrats Are Calling, Mr. Biden

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN While President Joe Biden was in Brussels and Warsaw showing U.S. solidarity with Ukraine, the 38-year-old autocrat who rules North Korea made a bold bid for the president’s attention.For the first time since 2017, Kim Jong Un test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong-17, the largest road-mobile missile ever launched.While it flew 600 miles from Pyongyang into the Sea of Japan, the mammoth missile flew for 71 minutes, reaching an altitude of 3,852 miles.Had it been fired in a normal trajectory, its missile warheads could have reached Washington, D.C., and every city in the USA.As any first strike on the United States with such a weapon would ensure the destruction of Kim’s dynasty, regime, and country,…Continue Reading

Modeled After Texas Law… Idaho Governor Signs Six-Week Abortion Ban

April 1, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Modeled After Texas Law… Idaho Governor Signs Six-Week Abortion Ban

By RAYMOND WOLFE BOISE, Idaho (LifeSiteNews) — Idaho Gov. Brad Little on March 23 signed a law that bans abortion at around six weeks of pregnancy and tasks relatives of preborn babies, rather than government officials, with enforcing the law by suing abortion providers.The law, styled after similar legislation in Texas, prohibits abortion when a fetal heartbeat can be detected. It bars state enforcement, but allows the mother or other family members of an aborted preborn child, including the father or grandparents, to bring civil action against medical practitioners who committed the abortion.Successful suits can net rewards of up to $20,000, in addition to legal fees. The law includes exemptions for rape, incest, or “medical emergency,” but requires women to…Continue Reading

Paring Pauline Parenesis

March 31, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Paring Pauline Parenesis

By DEACON JAMES H. TONER In the Novus Ordo Mass for the Second Sunday of Lent, priests may choose either of two selections from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians (3:17-4:1, or 3:20 to 4:1). It seems a minor matter. After all, should the priest choose the second alternative, he merely omits three sentences from the reading. Moreover, few, if any, people in the pews will know the difference. The Gospel for the day — concerning Our Lord’s Transfiguration — is taken from Luke (9:28b-36) and the first reading — concerned with the establishment of the Covenant with Abram — is taken from Genesis (15:5-12, 17-18).The Ordo (a publication citing the Church’s daily Masses) tells us that this is the…Continue Reading

Is Victory For Ukraine Worth Risking Nuclear War?

March 30, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Is Victory For Ukraine Worth Risking Nuclear War?

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN During the 70 years that the Soviet Union existed, Ukraine was an integral part of the nation.Yet this geographic and political reality posed no threat to the United States. A Russia and a Ukraine, both inside the USSR, was an accepted reality that was seen as no threat for the seven decades that they were united.Yet, today, because of a month-old war between Russia and Ukraine, over who shall control Crimea, the Donbas, and the Black and Azov Sea coasts of Ukraine, America seems closer to a nuclear war than at any time since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962.Why? Time to step back and reflect on what is at stake.Exactly what threat does Russia’s invasion…Continue Reading

“Aren’t They Special?!”

March 29, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on “Aren’t They Special?!”

By BARBARA SIMPSON Despite the problems in our economy today, with prices going through the roof and taxes doing the same, families with college-age children still want them to get that advanced degree. Many want them to go to an Ivy League school.Prestige, and all that.If they do go there, they’ll pay through the nose for the privilege. Considering tuition and fees, board and meals, books and fees the annual Yale total is over $84,000 a year. But what will parents and students get for their money?If what recently happened at Yale University is any indication, they should get a refund.It was a scheduled event at Yale Law School. It was a March 10 free speech panel on campus, hosted…Continue Reading

March 28, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Sets Up Supreme Court Issue . . . Court Denies Kim Davis’ Religious Freedom

ASHLAND, KY — U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning denied the motion for summary judgment filed by former Rowan County, Ky., Clerk Kim Davis and granted the motion for summary judgment of the plaintiffs in the cases of Ermold v. Davis and Yates v. Davis. Liberty Counsel represents Davis and will continue to argue that she is not liable for damages because she was entitled to a religious accommodation (which Gov. Matt Bevin and the legislature granted).In 2016, Judge Bunning dismissed all three 2015 marriage license lawsuits against her. In 2017, Bunning ruled that neither Kim Davis nor Rowan County were liable for attorney’s fees over the marriage license issue that began in 2015. In 2019, the Sixth Circuit Court…Continue Reading

By PATRICK J.

By LISA ZENGARINI VATICAN CITY (VaticanNews) — The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem has expressed deep concern over reports that 16,000 fighters from Syria and the Middle East have volunteered to fight with Russian forces in the war against Ukraine.Speaking to Sat2000, the TV channel of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, Archbishop Pierbattista Pizzaballa said he hoped the news wasn’t true, because these foreign militias would further escalate the conflict.“I hope it’s a joke, because this would mean an escalation that no one wants and, above all,” it is an incomprehensible manipulation and also an attempt to involve the Middle East.”“People try to get the Middle East involved virtually in everything, either directly or indirectly,” the Patriarch added.On March 11, the Kremlin…Continue Reading
