Several years ago, I wrote a column entitled, “Something Evil This Way Comes” because there had been so many incidents occurring which defied common sense and smacked of nothing short of evil. Consequently, it came as no surprise that our Catholic diocese restored having the St. Michael prayer said at the end of each mass. I sent away for a statue of St. Michael the Archangel that graces the mantle of our fireplace because he is the most the Archangel that graces the mantle of our fireplace because he is the most powerful angel and my favorite.

Our parish says the St. Michael prayer ever Mass too. I try to say it every day. There is evil in the world and it's getting more powerful.

As a Baptist I do not pray to angels, even archangels. We do however, pray in Jesus name that this horror that has visited Israel, once again, will be eradicated. Israel deserves to live in peace but Muslims just will not allow it. Israel is not the problem in the Middle East. The problem is and has always been the barbarians who believe it is their duty to wipe Israel off the map. They are more zealous than Hitler’s genocidal behavior toward the Jewish people. I am puzzled by the fact that anyone would support this heinous terror group. The evidence is there clearly depicting their depravity and there is no excuse for such savagery. They have gone beyond waging war. They are monsters killing, raping and beheading innocent civilians. No one should even try and justify what they have done and certainly no one should try and tell Israel how to avenge the horrific deaths of men, women, and children. The world should just sit down and shut up and allow Bibi to do what we all needs to be done. Hamas must be eliminated from this world. Nothing less will do. They have given up their right to live among us.

One only needs to re-examine accounts of the previous wars Israel was caught up in to see the hand of God...mysterious images, soldiers laying down their weapons even though outnumbering the Israel'is...the accounts abound...and Israel has 'cleaned the clock' of so many over the years since it's founding....yet, stupid countries and people, continue to try and take them down...isn't going to happen...and as far as the 4 hour truce, that just lets Ham-Ass rearm...Israel needs to just go in and level Gaza...

There is another evil that is permeating our families and kitchen table. My own ( adult) children firmly believe that the Israeli response to Hamas atrocities has negated any sympathy for Israeli victims and hostages. I remarked that it is only a step away from saying Hamas attacks were justified. But their generation doesn’t see it that way.

Our young people are idealistic and delusional when it comes to war because this country has never been attacked in a large scale way during their lifetimes and they have not seen the world being overrun by mad dictators and little despots like Hitler and Hirohito that willingly killed millions of people to advance their own race or country. It's easy to sit back and preach that killing is wrong. Of course it's wrong, until you and everybody around you is threatened with death, torture or imprisonment. I hope they wise up when it happens here again or socialist slavery is their future.

#3 I saw a video on Facebook last night, forensics people in Israel. Some victims - there was no DNA left to identify them by. A couple were tied together, set on fire, flammables tossed on until even the bones were burned. Pictures were not shown on this video, but words described the horrors. It made me sick. And then I read that The Moron keeps trying to get Netanyahu to stop the bombing so the people can get out of town. Mrs. Colon is so right.

How is a statue of any living thing held up to be revered not idolatry? “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” How does one get around this clear statement?

At our house we have been praying 30 years daily for Israel. We also support a non-profit American Christian group that is in Israel called Jerusalem Prayer Group/Mike Evans. We had a call from them 2 days ago and they said they are using the donations sent to buy mattresses and other items for Jewish refugees. They are using a museum in Jerusalem to house them. Please keep praying for these Israelis. They are still in shock from the Oct. 7 attack and loss of homes and lives.

I have an etching of St. Michael hanging with my crucifix just inside my front door. For those of you who are not Catholics, let me enlighten you. We do NOT pray to statues or angels. Our prayers, including the prayer to St. Michael and the Hail Mary ask THEM to pray for US and to defend and protect us. We do not pray to them, we honor them and ask them for help.

I understand the argument that the praying to a being is not supposed to be worship, but it sounds like a distinction with little or no difference. In reality, it looks like Roman paganism with a very thin gloss of Judaeo-Christian theology.

The angels execute G_d’s commands. If the angels intercede, it’s done so with G_d’s approval. Angels only act on their own when doing so complies with G_d’s plans and commands. Pray to the “source”.

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee abruptly adjourned a meeting on Thursday without holding an expected vote on subpoenas for two conservatives who have helped arrange luxury travel and other benefits for Supreme Court justices. The panel’s Democratic chairman, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, gaveled out after Republicans on the committee made clear they would call for subpoena votes on a raft of Democratic officials and others, a protest of the planned subpoenas for Republican megadonor Harlan Crow and conservative activist Leonard Leo. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the panel, warned majority Democrats that the hearing would be contentious.

Ukraine’s newly appointed head of defense industry says he is working tirelessly to ramp up local arms production and wants to turn the country into a weapons production hub for the West. Oleksandr Kamysyhin, the minister for strategic industries of Ukraine, said that Russia’s invasion of his country and the Israel-Hamas war raging in the Middle East have highlighted the need for countries to spend on their defense systems. “We’re really focusing on making Ukraine the arsenal of the free world,” Kamyshin told The Associated Press in an interview late Friday.

Every time murderous Islamic thugs commit another terror attack, the Obama-Biden administration, in Pavlovian fashion, promptly cautions us to avoid “Islamophobia.” This time was not at all different. In a recent address to the nation about the heinous attacks of Oct. 7 on innocent Israelis, Biden stated:In recent years, too much hate is given too much oxygen, fueling racism, the rise of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia right here in America.I don’t know about you, but I’m seeing a great deal of anti-Semitism lately and very little Islamophobia.

There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war. Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop “Free Palestine from the River to the Sea.” More recently, they are also yelling, “Israel, you can’t hide, we caught you in genocide.” Consider the hypocrisy of that dual messaging. Hamas and its supporters are openly and eagerly calling for the genocidal end of Israel by wiping it out from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

Fox News Digital spoke to "Cornellians" on background and on the record who said they were aware of a political shift among Jewish students. Some of them are questioning their ties with various progressive groups – and some with progressivism as a movement itself.

Former Democratic New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey will announce his political comeback next Thursday, when he’ll publicly declare that he’s running for mayor of Jersey City, a member of his campaign staff told The Post. McGreevey, 66, has been out of politics for nearly 20 years, ever since his 2004 resignation from the Garden State governorship after coming clean about a secret extramarital affair with a male staffer. The former governor’s opportunity to re-enter politics opened in April, when his hometown mayor, Steven Fulop, announced that he wouldn’t seek re-election in Jersey City and would instead run to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy in 2025.

After Azerbaijan besieged and starved 120,000 Christian Armenians in the Republic of Artsakh in the South Caucuses for nine months, on September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan bombed Artsakh's communities. Hundreds of civilians, including children, were murdered. Almost all the Armenians of Artsakh have fled: they know that after all military raids, Armenians who have fallen into the hands of the Azerbaijani military have been treated with maximum cruelty. Beheading and mutilating Armenians appears to be a long-standing tradition of Azeri soldiers. These actions are promoted and rewarded by the State of Azerbaijan.

Pope Francis on Saturday forcibly removed the bishop of Tyler, Texas, a conservative prelate active on social media who has been a fierce critic of the pontiff and has come to symbolize the polarization within the U.S. Catholic hierarchy. A one-line statement from the Vatican said Francis had “relieved” Bishop Joseph Strickland of the pastoral governance of Tyler and appointed the bishop of Austin as the temporary administrator. Strickland, 65, has emerged as a leading critic of Francis, accusing him in a tweet earlier this year of “undermining the deposit of faith.”

Muslim Democrats Andre Carson, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar say they are “horrified” by GOP plans that would halt Palestinian legal immigration to the United States. This week, Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and other House Republicans introduced legislation to ban the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from providing green cards, visas, refugee status, and parole to Palestinians. Zinke’s legislation also would revoke visas for Palestinians in the United States, thus making them eligible for deportation. “This legislation keeps America safe,” Zinke said of the legislation. “I don’t trust the Biden Administration any more than I do the Palestinian Authority to screen who is allowed to come into the United States.”

Asked what he meant by security control, Netanyahu said Israeli forces must be able to enter Gaza freely to hunt down militants.
