Dems New Border Policy . . . Jump The Fence, Register To Vote

By DEACON MIKE MANNO Last year the Democrats controlling the City of New York passed a law that had been proposed by former Mayor Bill de Blasio, and supported by the current mayor, Eric Adams, in which non-citizens were allowed to vote in certain local elections.However, before the law could take effect, Republicans challenged it and a local judge, Ralph Parzio, ruled that it violated the state constitution that only allowed for citizen voting, and struck it down.

After Three Weeks Of Drama . . . House GOP Chooses Speaker Who Doesn’t Look Dramatic At All

Neither Left Nor Right, But Catholic…The Left’s Suppression Of Free Speech By STEPHEN M. KRASON We are currently witnessing an assault on free speech in the U.S. that is certainly the most extreme that I have witnessed in my lifetime. As even a cursory examination of the developments shows, the assault is coming almost completely from the left.
