Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson And Alienable Rights

April 12, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson And Alienable Rights

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY (Editor’s Note: The Wanderer went to press this week just before the U.S. Senate voted on confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.) + + In a written response she presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson put herself at odds with a 2,000-year-old understanding of the nature of the law and the foundation of human rights.A half-century before Christ was born, the Roman senator Cicero plainly explained the foundation of a just law.“There is a true law, a right reason, conformable to nature, universal, unchangeable, eternal, whose commandments urge us to duty, and whose prohibitions restrain us from evil,” he said.“It is not one thing at Rome and another at Athens; one thing today…Continue Reading

Looking East, Beyond Ukraine

April 11, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Looking East, Beyond Ukraine

By JOHN J. METZLER As Ukraine’s conflict churns on, most countries remain fixated on the deadly clash between the Russian invaders and the heroically spirited Ukrainian defenders. This war in Europe, after all, has reawakened political and strategic attention along the old East/West axis.Yet thousands of miles beyond the widening tragedy in Ukraine, a threat has re-emerged on the Korean peninsula with a provocative long-range missile test by Communist North Korea. I’m speaking of course about dictator Kim Jong-un’s theatrically staged and successful launch of a long-range Hwasong-17 ICBM missile, which is capable of hitting the United States mainland!Not to be overshadowed by the Ukraine war, or possibly to divert attention away from it, theNorth Koreans are up to their…Continue Reading

Dumb And Dumber!

April 10, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Dumb And Dumber!

By BARBARA SIMPSON Believe it or not, there was a time in this country when a child going to school was expected to learn the “3R’s — readin’, writin’, and rithmetic.”Not only were they expected to learn all that – – they actually did! In case you hadn’t noticed, times have changed.A perfect — but awful example — is a current lawsuit in Baltimore, Md., by two parents. They are suing the city and the school district, claiming a failure to educate their children.It stems from a news report earlier this year on WBFF-TV that told of a woman who had been graduated from the Baltimore City Public School System and could not read!Further reporting showed that 77 percent of…Continue Reading

Is Global “Democracy” America’s Mission?

April 9, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Is Global “Democracy” America’s Mission?

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN “In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security,” said President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address.“This is a real test. It’s going to take time.”Thus did Biden frame the struggle of our time as the U.S. leading the world’s democracies, the camp of the saints, against the world’s autocrats, the forces of darkness.But is “democracy” really America’s cause? Is “autocracy” really America’s great adversary in the battle for the future?Not all autocrats, after all, are our enemies, nor are all democrats our reliable friends.When Ukraine was invaded, the UN General Assembly voted on a resolution which…Continue Reading

Record New High In Minnesota… Planned Parenthood Again Increases Tax-Funded Abortions

April 8, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Record New High In Minnesota… Planned Parenthood Again Increases Tax-Funded Abortions

ST. PAUL — Planned Parenthood performed 23 percent more tax-funded abortions in Minnesota in 2020, according to a report just released by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Overall, taxpayers reimbursed abortion practitioners just over $1 million for 4,410 abortions during the 2020 pandemic year.“The pattern is clear: Planned Parenthood does more abortions year after year after year,” says MCCL Executive Director Scott Fischbach on March 23.“The group exploits the availability of taxpayer Medicaid dollars to push its numbers and revenue up. The result is that more unborn children die and more low-income women are left without the real solutions they need. And taxpayers are forced to fund all of it.”The 2020 tax-funded abortion total was a marginal drop from…Continue Reading

A Broken Country Buries A Broken Laptop

April 7, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on A Broken Country Buries A Broken Laptop

By NEIL PATEL There has been a lot of ink spilled over Hunter Biden’s broken laptop and the way it was treated in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, but not nearly enough. Now The New York Times has admitted, almost two years too late, that materials in the laptop were in fact authentic. There is no more perfect encapsulation of the problems in American media and tech than this tragic story.To recap, on October 14, 2020, just weeks before the presidential election, the New York Post broke a huge story about emails found on a Hunter Biden laptop recovered from a computer repair shop.The corporate media reacted to this story by: 1) calling into question the authenticity…Continue Reading

HELSINKI, Finland (CNA) — The verdict in the closely watched trial of a Finnish Christian MP was announced on Wednesday, March 30.A court in Helsinki dismissed all charges against Paivi Rasanen, a physician and mother of five, and Juhana Pohjola, a bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland, after a free speech trial that drew international attention.The court said in a unanimous 28-page ruling on March 30 that “it is not for the district court to interpret biblical concepts.”It said that Rasanen had sought to “defend the concept of family and marriage between a man and a woman.” If some people found the statements offensive, it said, then “there must be an overriding social reason for interfering with…Continue Reading

April 5, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Legal Baby Killing: The Evil Expands

By BARBARA SIMPSON An attorney for the Pacific Justice Institute. Matthew McReynolds, called it a “degree of evil that a majority of Americans are against.”What was he talking about?The new laws and proposed laws in California that open the right to abortion in the state and expands the time when babies can be killed.

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY “Show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value.”When releasing his fiscal 2023 budget proposal on Monday, March 18, President Joe Biden said this was something his father had told him.He then made a claim about a “value” his budget proposal purportedly advances.“The first value is fiscal responsibility,” Biden said.That is a lie.In his speech, Biden elaborated on this lie.“The previous administration, as you all know, ran up record budget deficits.

In The Silent Company Of Christ Crucified

April 3, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on In The Silent Company Of Christ Crucified

By JAMES MONTI The return of Holy Week each year brings with it a renewed longing to find whatever ways we can to spend this time with our Lord. This aspiration to be with Christ in His Passion is what runs like a unifying thread through all the rites and customs of Holy Week. I would even say that it is what still unconsciously tugs upon the hearts of those fallen-away Catholics who only show up in church to get some palms on Palm Sunday. For blessed palms are, as it were, a sacred “souvenir” of the Lord’s Passion.In countries where the culture has been permeated for many centuries by the Catholic faith, this desire to be with our Lord…Continue Reading
