Ted Turner, founder of CNN, died May 6 at 87. He had been suffering from dementia for several years. Turner and Bill Donohue clashed a few times. But after they did, he acted responsibly. In 1999, he said that everyone should promise to have no more than two children. He failed to mention that he had [...]
If ever there were a decided secular bias that is evident in our culture, it's the way elites continue to address mental health and wellbeing. They just don't get it.

Racism is a curse, and it is therefore understandable that news stories about the corrupt Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) are focused on its funding of the Ku Klux Klan. What is frequently overlooked is its record of targeting Christians, especially Catholics. Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, nailed it when he said SPLC was guilty [...]
Pope Leo XIV and President Trump have had their differences before, but now they are at a serious juncture. After weeks of the pope criticizing the president over the war on Iran, Trump took to Truth Social on April 12 saying the pope was "WEAK on Crime, and terrible on Foreign Policy."

Booker: On the April 6 edition of the Fox News show, "Special Report with Bret Baier," you accused ICE agents of "dragging Americans out of churches." This is a very serious charge.
