The FBI “abused its counterterrorism tools to target traditional Catholic Americans as potential domestic terrorists,” and the agency had “no legitimate basis” to insert itself into Catholic churches, a new House committee report shows.
As part of its investigation into Catholics, the FBI interviewed a priest and choir director, according to detailed findings released Monday by the House Judiciary Committee and its select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government.
America in the twenty-first century has been on an accelerating descent not unlike what befell ancient Rome. For some four centuries Rome’s Senate and constitution provided continuity which sustained the Roman Republic through various challenges. But in the end, what befell Rome from barbarian invasion, political corruption, and mobs that were manipulated and used by its Caesars, was a rampage against reason and freedom, leading to the Republic’s demise and transition to a centralized imperial authority under emperors.
Will Ms. Weiss’ post-October 7th epiphany extend to sympathetic Free Press editorial coverage of Geert Wilders?
Geert Wilders and his Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV), “Party For Freedom,” burst out of the Netherlands’ political wilderness with a resounding victory last Wednesday, 11/22/23. Now endeavoring to cobble together a governing coalition, Wilders observed, aptly,
“The PVV is a broad popular party. The largest in the Netherlands. 2.4 million people voted for us. Highly and poorly educated, native and immigrant, workers, retirees, young people, and the elderly. From the city, the countryside. The PVV is for everyone.”
Not likely to happen. She still sips the kool-aid.
Conservatives must learn the lessons of 2020—and prepare.
The resurgence of public protests in support of Hamas has revealed a disturbing truth: the left-wing rioting following George Floyd’s death in 2020 was not an anomaly, but a tactic that activists can repurpose for any cause. Whether by coincidence or design, these recent outbursts could be a dress rehearsal for possible violence during next year’s election campaign.
Conservative leaders must prepare for that prospect. To prevent 2020 from repeating itself in 2024, conservatives need to consider what might spark a riot, how it can be prevented, and how to understand and manage the politics of rioting.
Our corrupt, radical universities feed every scourge from censorship and crime to antisemitism.
America faces a formidable range of calamities: crime out of control, borders in chaos by design, children poorly educated while sexualized and politicized against parental opposition, unconstitutional censorship, a press that does government PR rather than oversight, our institutions and corporations debased in the name of “diversity, equity and inclusion”—and more. To these has been added an outbreak of virulent antisemitism.
Every one of these degradations can be traced wholly or in large part to a single source: the corruption of higher education by radical political activists.
It is an unimaginably gruesome crime: an example of human violence at its most extreme.
In May 2018, Bryn Spejcher of Thousand Oaks, California, picked up a bread knife and stabbed her new boyfriend 108 times — killing him — before turning the blade on her dog.
The 32-year-old, who worked as an audiologist, then proceeded to stab herself — only stopping when police hit her nine times with a baton.
On October 7, Yoni Saadon, a man at the Israeli rave festival near the Gaza border, hid from the Hamas berserkers swarming the concertgoers and engaging in a murder orgy. He pretended to be dead, pulling over him like a shield the body of a woman shot in the head, and smearing her blood on him to fool the killers. He told the Sunday Times of London that after an hour, he peeked out.
Saturday’s was another symbolic terror attack, perpetrated at France’s most iconic landmark
There was more bloodshed in Paris this weekend, this time involving a man who, prosecutors claim, had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (IS). A German tourist was killed as he strolled close to the Eiffel Tower with his wife during the attack on Saturday evening. Two other passers-by, including a Briton, were wounded by the assailant, who French interior minister Gerald Darmanin said shouted “Allahu Akbar” and ranted about Muslims dying in Afghanistan and Palestine as he launched his deadly assault. Police used a stun gun to stop the man who is being questioned by anti-terror police.
Following news of mass cuts and layoffs at the CBC and Radio-Canada on Monday, CBC’s CEO Catherine Tait went on the network’s flagship news show and declined to say whether the public broadcaster’s executives would be receiving bonuses.
Adrienne Arsenault, host of “The National” on CBC, asked Tait, “I’m going to presume, no bonuses this year? … Can we establish (that) is not happening this year?”
A Conservative member of Parliament is introducing a private member’s bill that would designate December as “Christian Heritage Month.”
Marilyn Gladu, the MP for the Ontario riding of Sarnia–Lambton, introduced Bill C-369, the Christian Heritage Month Act, to the House of Commons on Tuesday.
The bill lands as the Conservatives press a petition campaign against a Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) paper that described statutory holidays marking Christian religious dates as discriminatory.
The CBC is happy to report the bill does not stand a snowball’s chance in Hell of passing.
I think Omar may be a Mohammedan.
We are deeply disturbed by @CTVNews misrepresenting yesterday’s peaceful “Rally for the Jewish People” in Ottawa that was attended by thousands of Jews, including students and Holocaust survivors, as being pro-war.

WARMINGTON: CTV sparks outrage, reporting peaceful pro-Israel rally supported war
“If you (Americans) were OK with us killing 5,000 children, you are OK with killing 10,000 children,” said Daniel Levy, a former Israeli diplomat who helped negotiate the Oslo peace accords in the 1990s. That’s what Israeli diplomats really think of U.S. policy, he says.
This implies that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) both dismiss U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken’s strenuous warnings about the need to avoid high Palestinian casualties in the renewed bombing as mere hot air.
Oh I don’t think they’ll miss by much if at all.

In several of the courses that I have taught (e.g., consumer behavior or international marketing), I have at times covered how cultural misunderstandings can result in costly business mishaps. For example, it is always a good idea to apply back translation when developing advertising copy across foreign markets. Take an advertising slogan in language A, have it translated to language B, and then have someone else translate back to language A. This reduces the likelihood of having translation errors when otherwise conducted in only one direction (from A to B).
