The Little Sisters of the Poor are committed to caring for the elderly. It is their vocation, and has been for 150 years. The nuns have comforted countless seniors who spend their sunset years at St. Mary´s Home, surrounded by love. “Our mission really is to take care of the elderly and poor of any race, color, creed, and to let them know that they are loved. They are important," Mother Superior said. "Just their stories alone, of how they made it through life, are such an encouragement to each of us," Sister Josephine said. "And so we inherit
A Department of Homeland Security official dismissed a report by The New York Times on Friday alleging that the president pressured Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan to close the southern border and offered him a pardon if the need arose. A spokesperson with the department confirmed (Snip)that Trump has never “indicated, asked, directed or pressured the acting secretary to do anything illegal,” and said McAleenan would never “take actions that are not in accordance with our responsibility to enforce the law.” The Times, citing three sources familiar with the conversation,
Attorney General William Barr dared to use the “s” word. (snip) The Mueller probe was a national trauma. Its boosters didn’t experience it as such, of course. They enjoyed it and played it up and hoped for the very worst. But it cast a shadow over the White House, occupied an inordinate share of the nation’s political attention and saddled innocent people with large legal bills. And for what? To establish that the far-fetched theory that the Russians coordinated with the Trump campaign indeed wasn’t true,
Like thousands of students each year, the high school senior hoped to secure a coveted spot in the UCLA freshman class. She ran track for a private school in Los Angeles, but her personal best in the 800 meters wasn’t nearly fast enough to earn a place on a high-level college team. The UCLA track and field director had never even heard of the runner.But she had an advantage: Her parents were potential donors to the school. The young woman’s admission to UCLA as a recruited athlete — and her parents’ subsequent $100,000 donation pledge to the school’s athletics program
Millennials For Socialism
replies
If one needed evidence of the gross ignorance of millennials, and their teachers and college professors, it´s their solid support for socialism and socialist presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders. Socialism has produced tragedy wherever it has been implemented. Last year marked the 40th anniversary of nearly 1,000 Americans perishing in a mass suicide/murder in the jungles of Guyana. Just as Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez see socialism as mankind´s salvation, so, too, did Rev. Jim Jones, who told his followers, "God is Socialism, and I am Principle Socialism, and that´s what makes me God."

First Lady Melania Trump hit back at Vogue editor Anna Wintour on Friday for taking a pass at having her on the cover of the fashion magazine. ´To be on the cover of Vogue doesn´t define Mrs. Trump, she´s been there, done that long before she was First Lady,´ spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said. Wintour never said that she would not have Melania Trump on the cover again — the former model was featured in 2005 after she married the New York playboy and billionaire who´s now the nation´s president — yet suggested she isn´t interested. Grisham said the comments demonstrate
President Trump´s trial balloon of sending migrants surging across our border to sanctuary cities has been derided by Democrats as ´cynicism and cruelty´ as well as ´a new low´ by Trump, but it has a precedent: President Obama. Back in 2014, when the migrant surge of that year brought tens of thousands of "unaccompanied children" and "moms and kids," into the Rio Grande Valley, overwhelming the Texas processing facilities, President Obama inexplicably targeted small- and mid-sized cities (same as the Trump officials´ emails) as their next destination of choice
LEESBURG, Va. — House Democrats this week headed to a retreat in suburban D.C. to celebrate “100 days of achievement” after reclaiming the majority in January and passing a bevy of policy bills. But by the time they arrived in Leesburg, Va., they had suffered a bruising internal fight over spending that forced Speaker Nancy Pelosi to cancel a vote on a critical bill to raise mandatory spending caps for the next two fiscal years. Democrats hoped a strong party vote in favor of their plan to provide generous increases for domestic spending would give them more leverage as Pelosi
The Mueller investigation into foreign collusion in the 2016 presidential election may set off a chain reaction that threatens the way Washington does business.

For most of my lifetime, “Watergate” has been used as the measuring stick for political corruption. What exactly was the Watergate scandal? On June 17, 1972, five men were arrested for burglarizing the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D. C. It was never alleged that President Richard M. Nixon knew about the burglary prior to the attempt, but that he tried to use the power of the presidency to obstruct justice in order to protect members of his administration and his reelection committee from facing criminal charges. Ultimately, Nixon was forced to
The commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Education (DOE) responded Thursday in a press statement to the concerns of some parents who reported their children taking the recent SAT test were requested to write an essay on an excerpt from a 2014 op-ed by current presidential candidate Sen.

Ami Horowitz, the investigatory film maker who often exposes campus madness, has produced a video that ought to terrify anyone familiar with the history of Weimar Germany. Then, as now, universities were among the leaders in whipping up Jew-hatred and actually persecuting Jews. One of the neglected aspects of the origins of the Holocaust is that the purge of Jews from Germany’s famous universities opened up new career possibilities for those faculty and students who remained once their institutions were Judenrein. We are not (yet) at the point of expelling Jews from faculties and student bodies,
A top aide to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign -- now leading a liberal “dark money” group -- is backing a student effort at George Mason University to get Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh fired from teaching a summer course over misconduct allegations.

New Hampshire teen forced to cover up Trump shirt, remove MAGA hat on school’s ‘patriotic day’

A New Hampshire teenager said she felt ashamed and embarrassed when her high school principal reportedly told her she needed to cover up the “Make America Great Again” T-shirt and hat she wore for a patriotic celebration. Ciretta Mackenzie, a freshman at Epping High School, told Boston 25 she had to borrow a friend’s sweatshirt and took off the hat after being reprimanded for wearing the “MAGA” gear on Monday – which was “America Pride Day” at school. “It’s just a shirt, and it only says ´Trump: Make America Great Again.´ It doesn’t say anything like ´build a wall,´ so

This was supposed to be the election that Benjamin Netanyahu was going to lose – three criminal investigations; a decision of intent to indict him for bribery, fraud and breach of trust; and three former IDF chiefs of staff who joined together with the sole purpose of taking him down. But even all of that could not defeat Netanyahu. He refused to be beaten. There were those in Israel who referred to him on Wednesday as a magician. Considering the challenges he overcame and the final preelection polls last Friday, he might well deserve the title.

In the end, the man who reportedly smeared feces on the walls of his lodgings, mistreated his kitten, and variously blamed the ills of the world on feminists and bespectacled Jewish writers was pulled from the Ecuadorian embassy looking every inch like a powdered-sugar Saddam Hussein plucked straight from his spider hole.

President Trump said Friday that he is considering a plan to release illegal immigrants into sanctuary cities, saying it is fitting punishment for Democrat-led communities that refuse to get tough on border security. Mr. Trump was confirming a report in The Washington Post that said the idea was being considered. “Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only,” the president said on Twitter. Hours later, speaking to reporters at the White House, Mr. Trump said he would only
The campaign against Attorney General Bill Barr is in full swing. We are told that he’s a tawdry tool of Donald Trump, that he’s disgracing himself and sullying his reputation, that he’s the equivalent of a Roy Cohn, the sleazy lawyer who once represented Trump back in New York. The criticism of Barr reached a crescendo this week after he used the word “spying” in congressional testimony to refer to the surveillance of Trump campaign officials in 2016. The reaction to his testimony was absurdly over-the-top. Yes, the word “spying” has a negative connotation, but it’s functionally indistinguishable from “surveiling.”

After almost two weeks of critical media coverage of Joe Biden’s handsy history, poll after poll indicates most Democrats do not care. The latest Quinnipiac poll—of California, no less—has the yet-to-announce Biden easily leading Bernie Sanders and favorite daughter Kamala Harris. This poll also has Harris performing better among white liberals than nonwhite voters. These findings are mostly news to the progressive elites at the top of Democratic politics and the establishment media.

Wyatt Earp. Elliot Ness. J. Edgar Hoover. Inspector Clouseau. James Comey. The names reflect a continuum, from greatness to farce and mediocrity. In the annals of U.S. law enforcement, no individual has reached such depths of disgrace as James “Cardinal” Comey. The “Cardinal” was a sobriquet that FBI agents used to denigrate their leader. As Deputy Attorney General, he was called “drama queen.” Known for his pomposity and self-regard, Comey cut a swath of arrogance unmatched in the histories of either of those illustrious organizations. He was the cult of personality. He surrounded himself with sycophants,
A federal appeals court on Friday temporarily halted a ruling that would have stopped the Trump administration from forcing asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico as they wait for immigration courts to hear their cases. The decision by the three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a lower ruling from taking effect and gave civil liberties groups until Tuesday to submit arguments on why the asylum policy should be put on hold. The government has until Wednesday to argue why it should remain in place. On Monday, a federal judge halted the change to the asylum system,

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Francesco Molinari´s first competitive round at the Masters in 2006 consisted of him carrying his brother´s bag and involved Tiger Woods.

Certain Fox News media personalities seem suddenly scared witless by the prospect of the president sending all the overflow border migrants to sanctuary cities.On Friday, President Trump confirmed that he is considering a move to have migrants who arrive at the border to be bussed only to sanctuary cities.
