PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Newly unsealed documents in a lawsuit brought against the Roman Catholic order Legion of Christ show the group´s former second-in-command testified he discovered the order´s founder, the late Rev. Marcial Maciel, had fathered a daughter in 2006, but never confronted him about his double life and didn´t share the news with the group´s broader membership.The documents, previously sealed in a lawsuit in Superior Court in Rhode Island, include thousands of pages of testimony from high-ranking leaders at the Legion, its members, and relatives of Rhode Island widow Gabrielle Mee,

2013 is already making a strong push to be the Year of the Truther (although, obviously, that´ll be no easy title to take). Via the APA: Russian nationalist lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky, long known for his flamboyance and outrageous remarks, said Friday that meteorite fragments had not rained down on Russia in the morning, but that the light flashes and tremors in several of the country’s regions resulted from US weapons tests, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti. “Those aren’t meteors falling, it’s the Americans testing new weapons,” Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, told

The Last Supper: Germany´s Great

The crew tasked with demolishing the Holy Family Church in the northern German town of Barmstedt arrived bright and early and began by removing the baptismal font. Next, a bulldozer moved in and knocked down the main church hall and the bell tower. In the space of a just a few hours, this house of worship to the Almighty was reduced to a pile of rubble. (Snip) "Upon this rock, I will build my church," Jesus said with confidence. He said nothing, though, about demolishing those churches. Two millennia later, churches are being forced to make dramatic cuts due

Holder Flack, DOJ Spokeswoman
Resigns from DOJ

Tracy Schmaler, Attorney General Eric Holder’s top press defender, will resign her position on March 8. This reporter recently caught Schmaler colluding with far leftwing advocacy organization Media Matters for America to attack the reputations of whistleblowers, members of Congress, and people in the new media. People who were targets of the collusion between Department of Justice press aide Schmaler and far leftwing advocacy organizations called for her resignation in September 2012, when evidence of her activity emerged. Now, they are getting their wish. Emails uncovered last year show Schmaler worked with Media Matters to smear people

CHICAGO- The prospect of prison looms over former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife after they agreed to plead guilty to charges in an alleged scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items - including furs, a gold watch, a football signed by U.S. presidents and even a hat once owned by Michael Jackson. It wasn´t immediately clear how much time either Jackson could end up doing when the legal drama inevitably reaches its climax before a federal sentencing judge within a few months. But judges frown on brazen breeches of public trust,

At Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, students are perpetually lamenting the fact that their excellent Midwestern school isn’t mentioned more often with Ivy-caliber powerhouses. Well, this story probably isn’t going to help. Campus Reform reports that Wash. U hosted numerous porn stars in its main chapel, in a panel called “A Night With the Stars: Life, Love, and Sex in the Workplace.” It featured presentations from adult film industry stars Tori Black, James Deen and Lance Hart.

The roster of state workers raking in six-figure pay skyrocketed last year by an astonishing 12 percent to nearly 7,700 employees, according to a Herald review — a budget-busting bombshell that has fiscal watchdogs howling “enough.” The review comes as Gov. Deval Patrick is pushing for massive $1.9 billion in tax and fee hikes amid a sputtering state economy and a climbing jobless rate. The Herald found that 816 state workers have cracked the ranks of the $100,000-plus pay club — bringing the state total to 7,694 who earn six-figure pay, a tally that has budget watchers seeing red.

Asteroid 2012DA14 missed earth, water’s not flowing uphill — and on Friday Fox News Channel announced that former GOP presidential contender and populist conservative darling Herman Cain is joining its stable of contributors. Snickering at FNC’s “fair and balanced” slogan is, of course, a favorite pastime on the left, where it’s long been an article of faith that the cable news ratings leader lists to the right. But a fair and balanced observer looking at the lineup changes the network had announced since the November elections might have descried a trending

A team of FBI agents has been conducting interviews in recent weeks in the Dominican Republic and the United States, looking into allegations that Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) patronized prostitutes in the Caribbean nation, but has found no evidence to support the claim, according to two people familiar with the investigation. One person said agents have asked about whether a Florida eye doctor — a close friend and major campaign donor to Menendez — provided the senator with prostitutes on vacations there. Another person said investigators are looking

As deadlines go, the March 1 sequester lacks punch. Nobody’s taxes will go up; the U.S. Treasury won’t run out of cash. Government offices won’t immediately turn out the lights and lock the doors. No federal worker will be furloughed for at least 30 days. So Washington felt little need to cancel the Presidents’ Day break. On Friday, President Obama flew to Florida for a long weekend of golf. And Congress left town for nine days, with scant hope of averting deep cuts to the Pentagon and other agencies in the short time remaining when lawmakers return

Many young, healthy Americans could soon see a jump in their health insurance costs, and insurance companies are saying: It’s not our fault. The nation’s insurers are engaged in an all-out, last-ditch effort to shield themselves from blame for what they predict will be rate increases on policies they must unveil this spring to comply with President Obama’s health-care law. Insurers point to several reasons that premiums will rise. They will soon be required to offer more-comprehensive coverage than many currently provide. Also, their costs will increase because

Democrats might well be spending the day after the unsuccessful attempt to end debate on the nomination of Chuck Hagel pondering why President Obama and Vice President Biden were so obsessed with shoving an unqualified and incompetent candidate down the throats of the Senate. Politico has a fascinating story about why President Obama and Vice President Biden were unwilling to listen to sense about Hagel and went all in on the nomination even after clear signs of trouble about the former senator were apparent. But owning up to the sorry truth that what the White House likes

Dems Face Uphill Task

It´s almost two years until the midterm elections in 2014, so people can be excused their occasional flights of fancy. Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY), chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) released a memo to his colleagues arguing that the Democrats are well-poised to win a majority in the House in next year´s elections. His three-page memo has a veneer of plausibility to it. That veneer, however, is no match against the headwinds of reality. In 2012, Democrats picked up eight seats in the House, leaving the GOP in the majority with 234 seats.

´I am a Socialist,´ Hitler told Otto Strasser in 1930, ´and a very different kind of Socialist from your rich friend, Count Reventlow´.[Snip] Its leaders stood for collectivism, state control of industry, high tariffs, workers´ councils. Around Europe, fascists were convinced that, as Hitler told an enthusiastic Mussolini in 1934, ´capitalism has run its course´. One of the most stunning achievements of the modern Left is to have created a cultural climate where simply to recite these facts is jarring. History is reinterpreted, and it is taken as axiomatic that fascism must have been Right-wing, the logic seemingly being

Global Warming Consensus

Environment: The global warming alarmists repeat the line endlessly. They claim that there is a consensus among scientists that man is causing climate change. Fact is, they´re not even close. Yes, many climate scientists believe that emissions of greenhouse gases are heating the earth. Of course there are some who don´t. But when confining the question to geoscientists and engineers, it turns out that only 36% believe that human activities are causing Earth´s climate to warm. This is the finding of the peer-reviewed paper "Science or Science Fiction? Professionals´ Discursive Construction of Climate Change" and this

Taxes: The president may try to satisfy both environmentalists and pro-growth blocs by tying the shovel-ready project curiously left out of the State of the Union to just-introduced carbon-tax legislation. Having failed to lower the sea levels in his first term, President Obama, in the first SOTU of his second term, highlighted the need for fighting climate change and proposed an Energy Security Trust Fund to siphon off money from those who actually produce abundant and useable energy to fund alternative energy sources which constitute a rounding error in the percent of energy produced by various sources.

One paradox of the Obama Presidency is how it has retained the support of young people and minorities despite the damage its policies have done to their economic prospects. In his latest attempt to increase the minority youth jobless rate, President Obama is proposing to raise the minimum wage. In his State of the Union address, Mr. Obama proposed an increase to $9 an hour by 2015 from $7.25, and then indexing the minimum to inflation. "Employers may get a more stable workforce due to reduced turnover and increased productivity," the White House says.

Cabinet: Imagine a defense secretary decimating the Pentagon, a CIA chief favoring killing U.S. citizens on U.S. soil and a treasury secretary ignorant of where his own money resides? Say hi to President Obama´s new team. Republican senators are being attacked endlessly for "filibustering" — which they are not — former GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel´s nomination as defense secretary. In fact, Democratic senators similarly demanded 60 votes for at least two of President George W. Bush´s nominees. Republicans are not but should be trying to derail Hagel.

The previous known photos of bin Laden have been classified and withheld from the public. Today´s letter from DOJ states that these new photos are "of the same nature" as the other photos and will also be classified and withheld. "This revelation raises new questions," said Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch. "This Administration´s over-the-top secrecy is disturbing."

WASHINGTON — House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer told The Daily Caller that eliminating the nation’s deficit by balancing the budget within 10 years would “savage” the economy. Speaking in the halls of the Capitol Building, Hoyer told TheDC he opposes efforts by Republicans to achieve a balanced budget in the next decade because it would “very deeply” cut important defense and non-defense programs. “Part of this is the assumptions they’re [Republicans] going to make but if they make honest assumptions, they’re going to have to savage both the economy and national security to get to where

Bribed by federal bailouts and threatened by lawsuits, top bankers have grudgingly gone along with the narrative that greed and deregulation caused the recession. But one prominent CEO is breaking ranks as he leaves the embattled industry. While running regional giant BB&T for two decades, John Allison had an insider´s view of the factors behind the crisis. A burst of greed wasn´t one of them, he says. Nor was deregulation. "The financial industry was not deregulated, it was misregulated," he asserted.

Health Care: Now that ObamaCare appears unstoppable, the question is can it be delayed? Thanks to bureaucratic bumbling combined with the law´s massive complexity, delay appears to be increasingly inevitable. On Thursday, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus told HHS to cough up details on how it plans to get ObamaCare "exchanges" ready in time in dozens of states. Baucus´ demand came after the Health and Human Services official in charge of implementing the law, Gary Cohen, issued the same bland assurances he has been for months that everything is on track for Oct. 1,

The Republicans are poised to let sequestration go forward, which is — sequestration — you know what that word means?
