Episcopal Church refuses to resettle White
South African refugees in clash with Trump administration
Posted By: Moritz55, 5/14/2025 6:02:33 AM
The Episcopal Church’s migration service said it will refuse the Trump administration's request to help resettle dozens of White South Africans granted refugee status by the federal government. In a statement, Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe said the Episcopal Migration Ministries will instead terminate its partnership with the government. The announcement came shortly before 59 South Africans arrived in the United States. "In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step," Rowe said of the government's request that the church help resettle the South African citizens.

Here’s What Would Happen If The Trump

Administration Used The Comey Standard
Against Comey 7 replies
James Comey dog-whistling his desire for President Donald Trump to be assassinated via a now-infamous “86 47” social media post — only to play dumb after well-deserved backlash — is a final befitting act by the disgraced former FBI director in his long-running campaign to destroy the president. Justice demands he answer for this outrageous act, particularly because the holier-than-thou G-man has to date completely skirted justice.
I hear almost daily from disgruntled liberals who wish President Donald Trump would die or face some other horrific misfortune (they wish the same for me, too).
It’s easy to become numb to this inflammatory – and hysterical – rhetoric.
Yet, when a former top U.S. law enforcement official enters the fray of such discourse, that’s another matter altogether. On May 15, former FBI Director James Comey posted a photo on Instagram that depicted the number “8647” fashioned with seashells. “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey quipped.
Not surprisingly, the now-deleted post created an immediate firestorm among conservatives and Trump administration officials.
Will the Supreme Court stop radicals in robes from subverting the president and imperiling the separation of powers via rule by universal injunction?
Or will it continue allowing any one of 680 district court judges to nullify the votes of tens of millions of Americans by hamstringing the commander in chief with rulings infringing upon his powers to pursue policy and pick personnel?
These questions loomed over the Supreme Court on Thursday, as justices heard oral arguments in cases challenging the president’s executive order curtailing birthright citizenship. Those arguments suggest we could be looking at a 5-4 decision hinging on Chief Justice John Roberts — one that could make or break Trump’s
The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post.
If Comey refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service leading the investigation into the Instagram post can apply for a subpoena through an assistant U.S. attorney. It’s that prosecutor who will determine whether the former FBI director is legally required to answer their questions, and
The Real First 100 Days
5 replies
Pundits are confused about what to make of the first 100 days of the second Trump administration.
Supporters talk of "flooding the zone," believing President Donald Trump is making so many changes so quickly that his opposition is reduced to deer-in-the-headlights infancy.
They must be right when the nation suffers daily Democratic pottymouth videos, vandalism of Teslas, infantile meltdowns at congressional witnesses, rioting against federal agents to protect illegal alien felons, protesting on behalf of women beaters, M-13 gangbangers, human traffickers, and assaulters, and visa-holding violent students praising Hamas terrorists.
This National Police Week, we pause to honor the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities. We remember the brave officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and we express our deepest gratitude to those who continue to serve with unwavering dedication. It is an important moment to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and selflessness that law enforcement officers demonstrate daily, particularly in Upstate New York and across our great state.
To the law enforcement officers of Upstate New York, the North Country, and everywhere else across our nation: Thank you. Your service does not go unnoticed
In a wide-ranging speech in the Bundestag, the German Chancellor outlined his new government's priorities, including a plan to revive Germany's struggling economy and transform it once again into a "growth locomotive." What you need to know
Germany's new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, is introducing his government's agenda to lawmakers in Germany's parliament, the Bundestag.
Elected in a historic second-round vote, he aims for swift action on growth, migration, and defense. He has also described his cabinet's lack of federal experience as a "great opportunity" for real change.
Wars seemed to be breaking out everywhere this week — in Kashmir, Congo, and in a new phase in Gaza. Closer to home, Democrats appear to be opening a hot civil war of their own.
Political veteran James Carville was punching down to the ingénue David Hogg, scolding him for ham-handedly seeking to primary party elders.
AOC and Bernie Sanders want to declare war against oligarchs who, ironically, mostly support Democrats and their causes. The portly Gov. Pritzker is now competing in a speech to New Hampshire Democrats to be the party’s angriest man in the room

woman was given the surprise of a lifetime when Travis Hunter sat next to her on a plane – except she had no idea who Hunter even was. Hunter, of course, is the two-way football star who turned his skills into a Heisman Trophy and became the second pick of the NFL Draft last month.
But, Hunter was on a United flight last week when he sat next to Sandy Hawkins Combs, who was flattered by Hunter. "I had the most wonderful flight home from Denver. I met the nicest young man who sat next to me. He offered to put my bag in the overhead compartment and
The Decivilizing of America
13 replies
Secure borders and stationary populations were considered the mark of emerging civilization by classical historians. In contrast to nomadism and constant strife over disputed territory, peoples who had clearly defined and protected borders ascended to statehood, maintained a distinct culture, and achieved greater prosperity and security. In contrast, what we suffered from 2021 to 2025 was unprecedented. It was an intentional administration effort to de-civilize the nation by destroying its borders—as if to return to the premodern era, when there were no clearly defined or secure borders, and nomadic peoples migrated as they pleased.
Confirm Ed Martin to take on the swamp!
18 replies
Republican Senator Thom Tillis has declared he will block President Trump’s choice for the crucial position of US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin.
His no vote will sink the nomination and if Martin isn’t confirmed in time, his replacement reportedly could be chosen by Trump-hating US District judge James Boasberg.
Tillis doesn’t even have a plausible reason, telling reporters that his difference with Tillis is over the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Martin believes that some J6ers were unfairly over prosecuted and Tillis believes they all should have been jailed “for absolutely destroying the Capitol” — which never happened.

of Mysterious Deaths and ‘Suicides’
Linked to Hillary Clinton 42 replies
President Trump went there!
Trump posted a video titled, “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” that documented just some of the mysterious ‘suicides’ linked to the Clinton Crime family.
The video touched on the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, Clinton White House Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton White House intern Mary Mahoney, and others connected to the Clintons.
In July 1999, Hillary Clinton’s senate rival and front-runner for NY senate seat John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash.
Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern who could have been a star witness at the Clinton impeachment trials.
The New York Times continues to work tirelessly to maintain the narrative that the United States is now a fascist regime. Earlier, the Times demonstrated its view of balanced analysis by running a collection of legal opinions titled “A Road Map to Trump’s Lawless Presidency.” Now, it is featuring three Yale professors fleeing fascism for the safety of Canada, making direct references to the rise of the Nazis. The video is titled “These Yale Professors Study Fascism.” All three professors are going permanently to Canada to teach at the University of Toronto.
Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer
Biden was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," his office said.
Prostate cancers are given a score called a Gleason score that measures, on a scale of 1 to 10, how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden’s office said his score was 9 ...

Bridge, shears off masts after losing
power, 19 hurt 29 replies
A massive Mexican navy tall ship on a goodwill visit to New York slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge late Saturday — toppling its huge masts into the deck in a horrifying scene that left 19 injured, including four critically, according to fire officials and sources.
The majestic Cuauhtémoc — which has a crew of 277, mostly cadets — apparently lost power as it was sailing out of New York on its way to Iceland and the current carried it into the road deck of the bridge around 8:30 p.m., according to Mayor Eric Adams and footage of the crash.
The collision sheared off the ship’s 147-foot masts. Adams said two sailors

the Very End’ for Free Health Care for
Illegal Aliens 27 replies
The debate about the massive cost overruns in Minnesota’s free health care for illegal aliens program is facing looming cuts even as Democrats vow to “fight until the very end” for the freebies paid for by taxpayers. The state’s Democrat party, the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), is loudly defending the massive healthcare giveaways even as far left-wing governor and failed Democrat nominee for Vice President Tim Walz admits the program is suffering from an unplanned and unsustainable growth in spending.
Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he believed former President Joe Biden would have been able to perform the duties required for the job another four years.
Host Jake Tapper said, “With what we’ve seen from President Biden both in that audio, but also throughout 2023, 2024, especially on the debate stage do you think that Joe Biden really would have been able to perform as president all the way through January 2029, when he would have been when he would be 86?”
Clyburn said, “Yes. I thought that back then. I still think that, but I don’t know that.
Honest Abe. Old Hickory. Tippecanoe (and Tyler too). Silent Cal. The Gipper.
Been some iconic nicknames for U.S. presidents.
Should Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ever reach the big-boy seat in the Oval Office, he should probably invest in a better nickname, because his current one doesn’t exactly convey an inspirational sense of wisdom, majesty, courage, or purpose.
I looked it up: There were roughly 300 news articles — from mainstream, legitimate news outlets — that referred to Tim Walz as “Tampon Tim.”
Those outlets included NPR, Time Magazine, CBS News, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, People Magazine, Bloomberg, The Daily Beast, HuffPost, The Washington Post, USA Today, TMZ,
In 2023 The Gateway Pundit published the shocking story of Chris and In Annette Kuehne.
Chris Kuehne is a 22-year veteran who received numerous medals and awards, including the Purple Heart, a Navy Commendation Medal with Valor, and a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Valor for actions in combat.
On January 6, 2021, Chris went inside the Capitol but did not cause any harm or damage – in fact he cleaned trash off the floor, helped to stop theft of government property, asked people to leave the building, and went up to Capitol Police Officers to ask how he could help.

Anything but the Gospel 24 replies
Welcome back to another tour of the craziness that is progressive Christianity. Sometimes, I approach these columns with a theme in mind, but that wasn’t my plan this week. It wasn’t until I finished compiling these examples that I realized that there was a theme, and it’s that progressive churches will preach anything but the gospel.
Let’s start with a doozy. My friend and colleague Sarah Anderson sent me a post on X featuring a woman pastor (shocker) with sort of a mohawk (bonus) spouting a bunch of left-wing clichés that start with “I’m a pastor…”
I'm a pastor. Of course I believe that all lives matter, but right now,
Republican spending hawks dealt a significant blow to President Trump’s domestic agenda on Friday, blocking his “big, beautiful” bill from advancing through the House Budget Committee.
The measure failed in a 16-21 vote, with five Republicans voting no: Representatives Chip Roy of Texas, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania.
The party could only lose the support of two of its members and still pass the legislation.
The fiscal hawks who voted down the 1,116-page bill argue the measure doesn’t include enough spending cuts
He missed the boat on this one.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday bizarrely suggested that DOGE cuts to the US Coast Guard could have been partly to blame for a Mexican tall ship’s deadly collision with the Brooklyn Bridge.
“We know there has been meddling by the Trump administration into USCG staffing, and we need to know how this might have impacted the events of last night — from a command, communication and local coordination level,” the embattled Dem said in a press release.
“There are indications that this service [Vehicle Traffic System] may not be fully or adequately functional in light of a hiring freeze,” he said —
Although the event occurred earlier in the month, video of Hillary Clinton’s appearance at a Newmark Civic Life Series talk at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan is hitting the internet and going viral. The former first lady thinks the importance of having children is overrated and that a renewed focus on family life would somehow be going “backward.”
Her voice drips with contempt as she talks about President Trump, Elon Musk and Vice President JD Vance extolling the virtues of big families and having babies. It’s truly appalling stuff:
…this very blatant effort to basically send a message most exemplified by Vance and Musk, and others, that,
