August 27, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Harris Gives Self Away . . . Biden’s Untrustworthy Pick For Veep Laughs Off Her Searing Accusations

By DEXTER DUGGAN One of the most powerful possible campaign messages in this presidential election season was handed to Donald Trump courtesy of footage by his ideological opponents, during a June interview with Kamala Harris by liberal talk host Stephen Colbert.As Democrats had vied for the 2020 nomination, Harris said she not only believed the women who accused Joe Biden of being a sexual abuser, but also one of them, Tara Reade, who accused him of sexually assaulting her 27 years ago.Biden also had a racially tainted record, Harris said, on school busing and working with two pro-segregation politicians.(The segregationists, by the way, were veteran Democrats, not Republicans, although historically ignorant media like the liberal London Independent of June 27,…Continue Reading

All rights reserved.) + + It was like an explosion — no matter where you looked in any media or listened in any broadcast — the name of the day, week and probably for the next months until the election, is that of Kamala Harris.The California senator is the announced choice of Joe Biden to be his running mate in his presidential campaign. What a choice! A woman, but more importantly, a minority woman, even more so, a “black” woman.Harris is being touted as a “black” woman, which carries a lot of weight in the politics of today. But clearly Harris’ situation is more complicated than…Continue Reading

Abortion, Sex Discrimination, And The Constitution

August 24, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Abortion, Sex Discrimination, And The Constitution

By DEACON MIKE MANNO, JD While the world and nation seem to be burning up, thanks to the Marxists in the streets, there are a couple of circuit court opinions that are worth mentioning.The first is in an Eighth Circuit case where the court vacated a district court’s preliminary injunction against enforcement of four Arkansas laws which regulated abortion: The Unborn Child Protection From Dismemberment Abortion Act, the Sex Discrimination by Abortion Prohibition Act, and two amendments to existing law concerning the disposition of fetal remains, and the requirement to maintain forensic samples from aborted children.In the second case, a panel of the Eleventh Circuit upheld a lower court decision that a school district’s policy of restricting students’ use of…Continue Reading

Dems Try To Just Mail It In . . . How Can Trump Lose Re-Election When His Foes Are Such Losers?

August 23, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Dems Try To Just Mail It In . . . How Can Trump Lose Re-Election When His Foes Are Such Losers?

By DEXTER DUGGAN Set aside long-range weather politicians, er, forecasters who’ll tell you what the climate will be like 100 years from now, when you won’t be around to hold them to account for errors anyway. Nor will they survive so long. It’s called natural aging, not being baked to death by the so-called warming. As for surprisingly rained-out picnics? That’s called hazy short-term forecasting.Forget that and instead just consider what you’d do in the immediate future to a merchant who kept selling you badly flawed picnic gear each time you went through the store doors or, more likely, shopped online. Would you go back there 20 times to buy more prettily packaged detritus? Thirty times?So why do dominant media,…Continue Reading

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Picture this:Timothy Cardinal Dolan of New York is at the podium of the Republican National Convention next Monday, August 24. He has graciously accepted the invitation to offer the opening prayer.He begins:“My brothers and sisters, Have you hear the news? Joe Biden is running for president as a Catholic!”He then lets out one of those endless, raucous belly-laughs that made him famous. The convention hall erupts in laughter, and millions of Americans watching the proceedings join in. The laughter eventually subsides, and he proceeds with his prayer.Just about the right tone, don’t you agree?But it ain’t-a-gonna happen.Not that it would be untrue. After all, Basement Joe Biden is now the Democrats’ nominee, and he’s hitting the campaign…Continue Reading

The Frugal Farmer

August 21, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on The Frugal Farmer

By JOE SIXPACK A frugal farmer was on his way to market one day when he saw a piece of string lying on the road. He thought it might come in useful, so he bent down to pick it up . . . just as a passerby saw him put it into his pocket.Later a man’s wallet containing several hundred dollars was reported lost in the same spot, so the police asked the farmer what he knew about it. They didn’t believe him when he told them he’d only picked up a piece of string. Indeed, the entire town laughed at the farmer’s explanation. He tried to tell everyone around town the true story of what happened, but nobody believed…Continue Reading

A Preview To The Culture War Of Today . . . Revolutionary Mexico’s 1930s Culture War Against The Catholic Church

August 20, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on A Preview To The Culture War Of Today . . . Revolutionary Mexico’s 1930s Culture War Against The Catholic Church

By JAMES MONTI Most of us are to a greater or lesser extent familiar with the stories of twentieth-century Mexico’s martyrs, the beatified victims of a bloody persecution under the country’s militantly secularist regime that reached its height during the 1920s, and particularly the martyrdom of Blessed Miguel Pro, who went about secretly administering the sacraments until his capture and execution in 1927.What is perhaps somewhat less known is the ideological war that the revolutionary Mexican regime unleashed against the Catholic Church, a war that even after the worst phase of the bloodshed had ended in 1929 not only continued but in certain major respects intensified. Leafing through firsthand accounts of this “de-Christianization program” of the leftists that scholars studying…Continue Reading

August 19, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Former Worker Says Chicago Catholic University . . . Makes Life Uncomfortable For Some So Others Feel Comforted

By DEXTER DUGGAN The former chapel and ministry coordinator at a historic Catholic university in Chicago told The Wanderer that some traditional practices and viewpoints were restricted or forbidden by officials at the school, St. Xavier University, founded in 1846 by the Sisters of Mercy as the city’s first Catholic university.Often the reason given for limiting or censoring, she said, was to avoid offending others.Mary Rita Insley, formerly coordinator of the Mercy Ministry Center, said that among the restrictions, she was instructed to remove a photo of a U.S. flag that had a white cross shape showing through the blue field of stars. Also, she said, the distribution of pro-life information and of seminarian prayer cards was discriminated against.“I was…Continue Reading
