US Catholic bishops sue Trump administration for halt in funding for refugee settlement | AP News

Posted in Donald Trump, Immigration, Rome and Immigration, Uncategorized, tagged , , on February 18, 2025| Leave a Comment »

My comments: Donald Trump cut off funds from the Treason Bishop’s and they’re big mad about it. Good! The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has inflicted enormous damage on America with their ongoing immigration war on our republic. It’s high time someone inflicted damage on them.

Catholic bishops are suing the Trump administration over its abrupt halt to funding of refugee resettlement, calling the action unlawful and harmful to newly arrived refugees and to the nation’s largest private resettlement program.

Donald Trump vs. Antichrist

Posted in Antichrist, Donald Trump, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 19, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Tomorrow, Jan. 20, 2025, America celebrates the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump. It will be a good day for this nation. For whatever faults Donald Trump may have, I think he cares about America and the American people. This one simple fact puts him head and shoulders above nearly every other Western head of state. Indeed, his administration represents a vast improvement over the outgoing Biden Regime headed by a Jesuit agent, who, from the time of his inauguration to the very end of his term in office, never ceased making war on the Constitution and the American people.

The most obvious example of Biden’s hatred of the American people is his allowing 10 + million illegal aliens to flood our nation along with the imposition of all the attendant costs, both monetary and non-monetary, that resulted from this decision.

Joe Biden’s hatred of our constitutionally guaranteed liberties and the property and lives of the American people, though remarkable, is by no means an isolated case in the contemporary West. Of all the oddities of the post-Christian West, the one that stands out in my mind is the degree to which Western governments, almost without exception, clearly despise their own people.

MAGA and the Great H-1B Visa Civil War

Posted in Immigration, Politics, tagged , , , , , on January 5, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Tesla CEO Elon Musk leaves the Senate Artificial Intelligence Insight Forum on Capitol Hill in September 2024. (Elizabeth Frantz for The Washington Post)

Perhaps you’ve read about the famous Christmas truce of 1914.[1] As WWI was getting underway, Allied and German soldiers, much to the horror of their commanders, decided during Christmas that they preferred celebrating peace on earth to killing one another.    

Christmas 2024, on the other hand, saw a war break out. Not a shooting war of the sort raging in Europe in 1914, but a war of ideas. This time, the battlefield wasn’t France. It was X. And the opposing forces weren’t the British and German armies but was more of a civil war, pitting Trump supporters against other Trump supporters on immigration.   

Immigration is a big topic. The Christmas immigration war of 2024 was focused on one aspect of the subject: the H-1B visa. More to the point, the focus was on the incoming Trump administration’s desire to remove the country cap that currently limits the number of H-1B visas issued to a particular country. India was the focus of this battle, as the bulk of H-1B visas are issued to Indian tech workers. Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others argued that more H-1B visas would help America “win.” Others were upset, seeing the proposed increase in H-1B visas as opposed to Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda.

Has MAGA Become MIGA?: Part 2

Posted in Israel, Politics, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on November 24, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Last week, we examined some of Donald Trump’s cabinet picks and found that many of them are actually more MIGA (Make Israel Great Again) than MAGA (Make America Great Again). Unfortunately, that trend has continued and requires further commentary.

Donald Trump shocked Washington by announcing Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz as his pick to be the next Attorney General (AG). As you may know, Gaetz withdrew himself from consideration for the AG role, and in his place, Trump nominated former Florida AG Pam Bondi.

Has MAGA Become MIGA?

Posted in Politics, Presidential Campaign 2024, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on November 17, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Donald Trump introduced MAGA to American voters during the 2016 presidential campaign. MAGA (Make America Great Again) was a shorthand for Trump’s America First political platform of lower taxes, less government regulation, border control, ending foreign wars, and re-industrialization.

MAGA was back again in 2024, and, once again, the message of America First proved popular with voters. The name “America First” dates to the 1930s and 1940s, when concerned American patriots wanted to keep America out of the brewing wars in Europe and Asia. Perhaps the best-known spokesman of this movement was the famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, who has been described as “a leading voice of opposition to U.S. involvement in World War II.”[1] The America First Committee’s influence came to an end with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.[2]

The 2024 Election and Its Aftermath

Posted in Politics, Presidential Campaign 2024, tagged , , , , , on November 10, 2024| Leave a Comment »

The Lord was merciful to America last week.

He could have given us the Monstrous Regiment, but he didn’t. He could have given us a president who was in part responsible for releasing a millions-strong welfare migrant horde on our nation, but he didn’t. He could have given us a president who has openly attacked our First Amendment right to free speech, but he didn’t.

In short, America, much like Donald Trump in Butler, PA, dodged a bullet last week. As the psalmist says, “He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.”

2024 Presidential Election Preview: Some Additional Thoughts

Posted in Presidential Campaign 2024, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 3, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Last night, I did a 2024 Presidential Election Preview podcast and have a few additional thoughts. Time is short, so let’s get to it.

How Popular is Kamala Harris?

The polls show that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are neck and neck coming into election day. This has been the case since Harris replaced Joe Biden in what amounted to a palace coup in July 2024. These polls have never seemed right to me any more than those that showed Joe Biden neck and neck with Donald Trump in 2020.

Harris has never been popular in national American politics, even among Democrats. If you think back to 2020, Harris was one of the odds-on favorites to win the Democratic presidential nomination. Yet, she was blown out of the water in a debate by Tulsi Gabbard, her support crashed, and she ended up pulling out of the race before the Iowa Caucuses. Harris did not win a single delegate in 2020. According to an article in The Hill, Harris “struggled to break 3% before dropping out.”[1] Further, she has consistently had some of the lowest approval numbers for any vice president.

Just like 2020, Harris did not win a single delegate during the 2024 primary season.
