Would DeSantis Be Better?. . . Trump Raises New Concerns About How He Regards Permissive-Abortion Issue

May 23, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Would DeSantis Be Better?. . . Trump Raises New Concerns About How He Regards Permissive-Abortion Issue

By DEXTER DUGGAN Donald Trump’s entry into the 2024 presidential race brought what could be described as his characteristic rambunctious style. He’s not a garden party; he’s a circus. He may be a loose cannon to his foes, but a focused cannon to his admirers.Before he won the White House in 2016, many conservatives had to take Trump’s candidacy on faith because they knew they never could take his radical Democratic opponent, pro-abortion extremist Hillary Clinton, in any way, shape, or form. As it turned out, for all the digressions as president, Trump often got the job done that conservatives wanted.After the Supreme Court reversed the blatantly unconstitutional pro-abortion Roe opinion of 1973 with the states’-rights Dobbs in 2022, anti-Trump…Continue Reading

May 22, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Germaine Cousin . . . The Neglected Shepherdess Turned Saint

By RAY CAVANAUGH Life got off to an unfavorable start for Germaine Cousin. Her right hand was severely deformed. Her mother died soon after her birth. And not long after, she fell victim to a disfiguring disease. Her grim existence would barely reach adulthood, but the unbreakable decency of her spirit has managed to give centuries of inspiration. The patron saint of abandoned persons, St. Germaine Cousin’s feast day is June 15.She was born in 1579 in a French village about 10 miles from Toulouse. Her family lived on a once-prosperous farm that had severely declined. As a young child, Germaine began to show signs of scrofula — a disease that, among other issues, causes the neck glands to swell…Continue Reading

Mat Staver, a Southern Baptist, chairs Liberty Counsel.) + + Sixty-three years ago today, May 9, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the world’s first birth control pill forever, changing America’s cultural landscape. While conflicting ideologies about sex and reproductive health remain, the drug’s creation and dark road to approval through highly questionable clinical trials conducted by doctors with unethical methods, at the expense of the women in those trials, has not yet had its full reckoning.On May 9, 1960, the FDA approved the hormonal, oral contraceptive pill Enovid, a 10-milligram dose of estrogen and progesterone, which prevented ovulation and pregnancy…Continue Reading

May 20, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Are Unions Finally Figuring This Out? The Green Movement Is A Jobs Killer

By STEPHEN MOORE Could it be that union bosses are finally waking up to the cold reality that the greatest threat to steel workers, the United Auto Workers, miners, machinists, and the Teamsters is the radical climate change agenda of the environmentalists?The green movement has taken the Democratic Party hostage — and President Joe Biden’s all-in embrace of far-left green policies is wreaking havoc on rank-and-file union jobs.The United Auto Workers recently announced it would withhold its endorsement of Biden as he runs for a second term.“The federal government is pouring billions into the electric vehicle transition, with no strings attached and no commitment to workers,” UAW President Shawn Fain recently declared. “The EV transition is at serious risk of…Continue Reading

May 19, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on The Candle Wasn’t Worth It . . . Biden Admin Backs Down From Violating Catholic Hospital’s Rights

By TYLER O’NEIL WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeNews) — The Department of Health and Human Services has rescinded its effective demand that a Catholic hospital snuff out a candle it keeps burning in the chapel, a candle that HHS called a threat to hospital safety. (See report in last week’s Wanderer.)“The game was simply not worth the candle for HHS,” Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket, the religious freedom law firm representing the hospital, told The Daily Signal in a written statement Friday, May 5. “It realized it would be playing with fire in court if it stood by its absurd demand, so it chose wisely. We are glad Saint Francis’ can continue to serve those most in need…Continue Reading

A House United

May 17, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on A House United

By FR. JOHN P. LOVELL As co-founder of the Coalition for Canceled Priests (CFCP), I am often asked what my biggest headache is and what is one of my greatest joys at the Coalition. I laugh because the answer is one and the same: our annual conference. In June of 2021 Craig Holuj and I founded the CFCP and in less than two weeks, we organized a thousand-person event in Lombard, Ill., which we dubbed “Breaking the Silence.” It was a wonderful evening featuring Fr. Altman, who was not canceled yet, and me, explaining the plight of priests who were sidelined not for any crime, but for standing up for the truth of our faith.The event was simple and only…Continue Reading

May 16, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Growth In Shooting Rampages . . . Result Of The Left’s Program To Yank Down The Social Guardrails

By DEXTER DUGGAN When I first heard on a telephone call that shots reportedly were fired not far from where President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade was as he visited Dallas on November 22, 1963, I thought that someone was just shooting off firecrackers.Five years later, in 1968, as I watched California Gov. Ronald Reagan on television routinely descend an airliner boarding ramp, I thought “Get down!” because of the intangible possibility that he might be shot from a distance.In five years, the social environment had changed drastically, from when personal safety for a political personality had been taken for granted to when simply being out in the open seemed risky.Kennedy was riding in an open convertible in Texas when he…Continue Reading

Tucker Carlson Charges Fox With “Fraud,” “Breach Of Contract”

May 15, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Tucker Carlson Charges Fox With “Fraud,” “Breach Of Contract”

By PATRICK DELANEY (LifeSiteNews) — On the heels of announcing the relaunch of Tucker Carlson’s highly popular show on Twitter, news has surfaced that the ousted Fox News host accused the network of “fraud” and “breach of contract” while demanding documents that suggest intended legal action.According to a Tuesday, May 9 report from Axios, attorneys representing Carlson issued an “aggressive letter” to Fox officials that positions the former host to “argue that the noncompete provision in his contract is no longer valid” due to the network’s having “breached the contract first.”If such a contention prevails, this would allow the formerly top-rated primetime host to launch his own show or media enterprise on a competing network.Carlson’s present contract with Fox extends…Continue Reading

California Killing

May 14, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on California Killing

By BARBARA SIMPSON California is a state that has a lot to brag about — a wonderful climate, the entire environment, the successful commercial ventures that have flourished there, the wide and excellent educational system, and certainly a population that represents so many ethnicities and religious beliefs.While there is now a slow movement of residents out-of-state, it is still a place that residents have much to be proud of — as long as they leave out the terribly high taxes that they pay for the “privilege” of living there and what those taxes are used for.But there is something else going on in the state that many, if not most, Californians may not be aware of. As reported by San…Continue Reading
