A small Catholic college in northwest Indiana will honor the pro-LGBT U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.

Ambassador Joe Donnelly will reportedly keynote Calumet College of St. Joseph’s graduation ceremony this weekend. Donnelly previously served as U.S. Senator from Indiana.

The school does not list Donnelly as a speaker on its website, but the Post-Tribune, a local newspaper, lists him as the speaker. The College Fix left a voicemail with a university official on Tuesday seeking confirmation Donnelly is still the planned speaker.

While senator, he sometimes voted pro-life, including for a 20-week federal limit on abortion. The Democrat regularly voted to protect taxpayer funding of abortion giant Planned Parenthood and supported the LGBT agenda, despite being Catholic.

“I support marriage equality because we are a stronger state and a stronger country when we support inclusion, respect, and equality for all Americans,” Donnelly said in 2018 while running for re-election.

In response to the discovery of explicit pro-abortion graffiti on the doors of a Catholic church in Portland, Oregon on Sunday morning, the church’s pastor prayed for the vandal at Mass and expressed hope during the homily that the vandal would one day become an usher.

Just before Sunday Mass on April 28, explicit pro-abortion graffiti was found sprayed on the sidewalk by St. Patrick’s Church and on the church’s wooden front doors.

Fr. Timothy Furlow, who has been the pastor at St. Patrick’s Church since 2018, asked those at Mass that day to pray for the vandal instead of wrathfully seek justice or harbor hatred.

“You probably saw the graffiti on the way in,” Fr. Furlow began in his homily. “Somebody said, ‘Oh we gotta cover this up.’ I’m like, ‘Nope, I want them to see that.’ And the reason is because it fits kind of perfectly with what the core message of the Gospel is.”

Students for Life Action (SFLAction) will be on the ground in Arizona on Wednesday, beginning an effort to educate voters in the districts of multiple Republican lawmakers who voted to pass HB2677, which removed the recently upheld pro-life laws protecting life early in pregnancy.

SFLAction President Kristan Hawkins said, “When mothers and babies were betrayed by a few Republican leaders, we promised that there would be consequences – today in Arizona, we’re beginning that grassroots ground campaign to hold five Republicans accountable who joined forces with the pro-abortion Democrats and turned their backs on the preborn.”  

Beginning in four districts * (seen below) in the Phoenix area, SFLAction volunteers and staff will walk through the districts of the three House Republicans and two State Senate Republicans who threw their votes behind pro-abortion Democrats, ensuring passage of HB2677.

Democrats are populated by subgroups with overlapping views: liberals, progressives, socialists, and Marxists. In their eyes, virtually any topic that you can address – the total eclipse in April, for example – has some underlying racial component embedded within it. Not all topics have a racial component, but that is what they propagate on a daily basis.

Leftists want to keep race at the forefront of all public discourse and are on the ever-present lookout for anything which they regard as a transgression when others are referring to minorities. They particularly are focused on anything that a Conservative says, at any time, even if it was 30 or 40 years ago, that to the Left some way represents a slight or lack of respect for minorities, particularly Black Americans.

For these ‘race police’ it’s like a game. They are delighted when they are able to find something, anything, that they can aggrandize to the hilt, have the mainstream media pick up, and whip into a social and cultural frenzy.

(LifeSiteNews) — William Goodman, a member of the “DC Nine” peaceful pro-life rescuers who are facing an unprecedented 11 years in prison, told LifeSiteNews that no matter what happens as a result of his sentencing next week, it “will be an opportunity to try and love, serve, and obey God.”

With six of his confreres who were found guilty of violating the FACE Act and participating in a “conspiracy against rights” for performing a traditional rescue at an abortion facility in 2020, Goodman has been held in federal custody at the Alexandria Detention Center in Alexandria, Virginia, since late last summer awaiting sentencing by pro-abortion Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.

The sentencing hearings begin next Tuesday, May 14, and conclude on the following Friday.

Fellow rescuer John Hinshaw describes their crime as “attempting to stop the slaughter of late-term babies in the Santangelo abortion mill in Washington, D.C.” Additionally, the importance of these sentences cannot be overstated, since never before has “peaceful civil disobedience faced such legal violence as our federal law enforcement is now practicing!”

By Jerry Newcombe, D.Min., We’ve all witnessed the recent drama of the pro-Palestinian, anti-Jewish protests on college campuses. A recent discovery at one of the protests speaks volumes about the whole movement.

The Georgia Court of Appeals will consider former President Donald Trump’s appeal of a ruling that allows disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain principal prosecutor in the state election case. If Trump prevails, the case against the presumptive GOP presidential nominee could end as Democrats’ multi-case lawfare campaign continues to fall apart six months before the election.

In March, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee determined Willis, the embattled prosecutor who faced disqualification for an inappropriate relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, could continue to lead the state effort to imprison Trump for opposing election changes in 2020. The judge ruled Willis could remain on the case as long as Wade stepped down from the probe after the government paid more than $650,000 to Wade’s law firm over two years. Willis and Wade allegedly spent money ostensibly meant for Trump’s prosecution on lavish vacations to the Bahamas, Aruba, Belize, and Napa Valley.

Defendants in Willis’s politicized Georgia show trials earlier moved to have the Fulton County DA removed from the case, alleging an inappropriate affair with Wade before Willis’s office hired him. Willis and Wade denied the allegations. The district attorney testified in February that she reimbursed Wade for her share of the costs incurred on their trips together. When pressed in court on proof of reimbursement, Willis declared, “The proof is what I just told you.”

Former President Donald Trump called for unity after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) forced a vote on her motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday. He called on House Republicans and Johnson to unify and have discipline going into the 2024 election.

After Greene went to the floor with the motion to vacate Johnson, which was later killed in a vote to table, Trump posted his response to Truth Social.

“I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s got Spirit, she’s got Fight, and I believe she’ll be around, and on our side, for a long time to come. However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the Radical Left Democrats, and all the Damage they have done to our Country,” he said.

 

“With a Majority of One, shortly growing to three or four, we’re not in a position of voting on a Motion to Vacate. At some point, we may very well be, but this is not the time,” Trump added. “We are leading in the Presidential Polls by a lot, both Nationally and in the Swing States.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) finds herself facing a renewed wave of opposition as House Republicans prepared a second censure resolution on Tuesday over anti-Semitic remarks. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) initiated the resolution in response to Omar’s comments at Columbia University, where she referred to Jewish students as “pro-genocide.”

This comes as a series of criticisms aimed at Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, over her rhetoric surrounding Israel and Jewish people. The four-page resolution aims to reprimand Omar for her “recent hateful comments and history of antisemitism.”

“She is perpetuating and increasing antisemitism in our country,” Bacon said after submitting the resolution. “The House of Representatives needs to take a strong stand and condemn these divisive and racist remarks that she has made, and those who continue to excuse her egregious behavior must stop.”

Chicago will host the 2024 Democratic National Convention from August 19 to 22.

Chicago also has a ton of illegal aliens since it is a sanctuary city.

Optics are everything in politics. Could this be why Mayor Brandon Johnson wanted to open a new illegal alien shelter on the South Side?

Alderman Nicole Lee of the 11th Ward balked at the idea, especially after reading between the lines:

A large empty building nestled between two sets of railroad tracks in an 11th Ward industrial area on the South Side was under consideration to house migrants.

Last week, the Johnson administration informed Alderman Nicole Lee the plan was to move 900 new arrivals out of the Standard Club in the Loop into a new location

“In our initial conversion, there was mention of the DNC. And, like, the timing of it all felt a little odd to me. I don’t, first of all, I don’t think that we should be moving people to hide them. I hope that’s not what the actual case is,” Lee said.

President Biden appeared to be caught off guard when CNN’s Erin Burnett confronted him with a number of brutal economic data points.

Burnett began by pointing out that the economy has long topped the list of most important issues for voters as election day nears. “ It’s also true right now, Mr. President, that voters by a wide margin trust Trump more on the economy. They say that in polls,” Burnett said. “And part of the reason for that may be the numbers.”

The CNN host went on to list a number of statistics concerning the economy and President Biden’s handling of the issue.

“The cost of buying a home in the United States is double what it was when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office. Economic growth last week, far short of expectations. Consumer confidence, maybe no surprise, is near a two-year low,” Burnett told the president. “With less than six months to go to election day, are you worried that you’re running out of time to turn that around?”

Republican Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has introduced legislation that seeks to deport foreign students involved in pro-Hamas protests on America’s college campuses.

The bill seeks to revoke the student visas of Hamas-sympathizing foreign nationals and send them home.

In a statement about the bill, Ogles told Hamas-Sympathizing student visa holders to “go study abroad in Gaza.”

The legislation, which is titled the Study Abroad Act, was introduced by Ogles on Wednesday.

The bill would specifically “revoke the F, J, or M visa” of any alien who authorities have “arrested for rioting or unlawful protest.”

While the media pretends they are the saviors of democracy, Americans are not so easily fooled. In fact, the majority of Americans find the mainstream media to be one of the biggest threats to freedom and democracy, according to a New York Times/Siena poll. And the evidence now shows that over half of independent voters believe Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Trump.

That shouldn’t be surprising to anyone reading this but an MSNBC panel “can’t make sense of that.”

According to The Daily Caller:

An MSNBC panel grew bewildered at a poll indicating independent voters find President Joe Biden to be a bigger threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump.

A PBS Newshour/NPR/Marist poll found 53% of independents believe Biden’s second term will “weaken America,” while 42% believed Trump would further harm democracy.

“I find it shocking, honestly,” MSNBC political analyst Susan Del Percio said. “I can’t make sense of that number. I wish I could. I wish I could have some really great insight to it, but I don’t know if it’s an outlier or not, because the other numbers of independents are going in the right direction. So, that may be it.”

An illegal immigrant from Venezuela who is accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley near the University of Georgia campus in February was hit with a “peeping Tom” charge Tuesday.

Fox News reported 26-year-old José Antonio Ibarra, who police say beat and suffocated 22-year-old Riley in Athens on Feb. 22, was indicted on 10 charges by a Georgia grand jury Tuesday afternoon.

The Venezuelan national had already been charged with murder, but the 10-count charging document also alleges Ibarra had “spied upon” a UGA staff member through a window on the day of Riley’s brutal killing.

A copy of the inducement obtained by Fox News and signed by District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez laid out the circumstances of the charge.

The indictment said Ibarra “did unlawfully go on the premises of the University of Georgia, University Housing Village Building ‘S’ … for the purpose of becoming a peeping tom.”

FreedomWorks announced on Wednesday that it was closing up shop for good. The organization was a heavy-hitter during the Tea Party movement’s heyday, doing a lot of good work in training conservative political activists. I was a frequent speaker at FreedomWorks events, and helped train some of the new kids as well. The group’s annual BlogCon events were like CPAC but for just the people we wanted to hang out with (Stephen Green will back me up on this). 

I even used to do some serious writing for FreedomWorks. Stuff about policy. And stuff. 

The organization started to lose its way after 2012 and the news of its demise was unfortunate, but expected. 

The Never Trumpers had a big hand in bringing about the end. As always, they blame Trump for everything. 

Because they’re horrible people. 

That’s what we’re talking about in this episode.

Anti-Trump ‘Hush Money’ Prosecutor Was Paid by DNC for ‘Political Consulting’

Bombshell new evidence has just emerged to reveal that one of the lead prosecutors on President Donald Trump’s “hush money” case in New York was paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for “political consulting,” a financial paper trail has revealed.

Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo is working on the team for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s get-Trump case.

Concerns were already raised that Colangelo has left a top position in Democrat President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to help Bragg prosecute the “hush money” case.

Colangelo is one of the lead prosecutors on Democrat Bragg’s case, even delivering the opening statements in the unprecedented criminal trial of Trump.

Colangelo joined Bragg’s office in December 2022 after the resignations of Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne.

Pomerantz and Dunne were prosecutors who were investigating Trump.

A West Virginia judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing several middle school girls to compete after the school district banned them from competition after refusing to play against a biological male, according to 12 WBOY, a local media outlet.

Five middle school female athletes forfeited their positions at a track meet in April after they were informed that they would have to compete against a biological male, prompting the school district to allegedly bar the girls from future competitions, according to WDTV News. The students sued and Republican Attorney General Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia filed an amicus brief in support of the students.

A Harrison County judge ordered that the school’s decision be temporarily halted while the lawsuit plays out, according to 12 WBOY.

“I want to say to these students and their parents: I have your backs,” Morrisey said in a press release. “You saw unfairness and you expressed your disappointment and sacrificed your personal performances in a sport that you love; exercised your constitutionally protected freedom of speech and expression.”

BREAKING: The WV AG issued the a statement after a judge on Thursday heard a case involving the female middle school students who protested a recent appeals court ruling against West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act.
