Than Dad. Always’

ROME, Italy — Pope Francis baptized 13 babies in the Sistine Chapel on Sunday, calling the celebration a “new birthday” into the Christian life. During his homily at the Mass, the pontiff thanked the parents for bringing their children to be baptized, while urging them to stay especially close to the Virgin Mary. “Pray also to Our Lady, who is the Mother, who is our Mother,” he declared. “It is said that when someone is angry with the Lord, or has moved away, Our Lady is always close to facilitate his return.” “The Lord is always close to us, but Our Lady is the mom, and the mom is always closer

President Joe Biden promoted his plan Tuesday to make it easier for migrants to come to the United States after meeting with the leaders of Mexico and Canada.
“This has been the greatest migration in human history around the world as well as in this hemisphere,” Biden said, speaking about the ongoing migration crisis after meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador during a summit in Mexico City.
But the president did not appear troubled by the volume of border crossings and migrants flooding into local communities in the United States, placing a burden on U.S. citizens and legal residents.
After he was admitted to the United States on a diversity visa, Sayfullo Saipov demonstrated his gratitude to the land that had welcomed him by murdering eight people in New York City on Halloween night in 2017 by driving a truck along a bike path. Now, all these years later, he is finally on trial. On Monday, he showed that he was not in the least repentant. As far as he is concerned, he has no reason to be. He sees himself as a soldier in a war that only one side admits is being waged.
The House Oversight Committee launched a pair of investigations on Tuesday tied to President Joe Biden's handling of classified records that were recovered from an old office of his late last year.
Oversight Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, sent a pair of letters to the White House Counsel's Office and the National Archives and Records Administration, respectively, looking for more information into the matter.
The White House confirmed on Monday evening that Biden's personal attorneys found 'a small number of documents with classified markings' when clearing out the president's old office in the Penn Biden Center
A comet will appear in the night sky for the first time since the last ice age, offering scientists a look at the progression of the solar system. (Photo)
A bright green comet—named C/2022 E3 (ZTF)—will pass by Earth for the first time in 50,000 years and will first pass by the Sun, arriving from the outer parts of the solar system, which is why it’s taken thousands of years to return.
C/2022 E3 ZTF hasn’t made an appearance since the Upper Paleolithic period, which is the time Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens roamed the Earth, according to Space.
House Republicans on Tuesday voted to create a new Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
The resolution passed in a 221-211 vote. (Tweet) GOP Rep. Jim Jordan (OH) will spearhead the committee.
“We have a duty to get into these agencies and look at how they have been weaponized to go against the very people they’re supposed to represent, how they have infringed on First Amendment liberties of the American people. And we’re going to do that,” Jordan said on Fox News Sunday.
Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) thanked President Joe Biden for halting the construction of border wall along the United States-Mexico border at a North American summit on Tuesday.
Alongside Biden and Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, AMLO praised Biden’s immediate halt to border wall construction along the southern border. The day after taking office, Biden signed an executive order that stopped all wall construction that had been underway by former President Trump.
“You, President Biden, you are the first president of the United States in a very long time that has not built, not even one meter, of wall,”

A big problem Democrats and the complicit media have when it comes to the discovery of classified documents in President Joe Biden’s former office at a Washington think tank is that they set the precedent with their response to former President Donald Trump allegedly possessing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.
Another problem they have little interest in is that the documents were at a “Chinese-funded” think tank, according to Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.
It was on the latter note that Trump had plenty to say, with the media quick to dismiss his assertions as “wild speculation” — the odd thing about Trump’s speculations is that, over time,
The Republican National Committee shared a comprehensive list of President Joe Biden’s biggest whoppers on Tuesday, from his repeated claims that he drove an 18-wheeler to his insistence that a 2004 house fire — which was reportedly contained to his kitchen — had very nearly killed his wife and a couple of fire-fighters.
The list, which the RNC shared on Tuesday, detailed “21 made-up stories Biden has told about himself as president.”
First on the list was Biden’s claim that he “used to drive” an 18-wheeler.
“I used to drive a tractor trailer … I only did it for part of a summer,” Biden said in 2021 —
The House of Representatives affirmed the committee chairmanships of 21 Republicans on Tuesday, one day after the Steering Committee voted on five contested gavels.
Of the new GOP chairs, 16 served as ranking member on their committee during the 117th Congress, while incoming Ways and Means Committee chairman Jason Smith of Missouri was the previous ranking member of the House Budget Committee. North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx received a waiver to chair the Education and Workforce Committee, which she led from 2017-19 before being ranking member from 2019-23.
Foxx beat out Michigan Rep. Tim Wahlberg for the Education and Workforce gavel,
As we've all learned this week, multiple news reports allege that President Biden's personal attorneys discovered Obama administration-era classified materials among his belongings at a private office, where they undoubtedly do not belong. The items were handed over to the National Archives shortly after they were allegedly uncovered in a closet during the process of packing up the space. Biden's Attorney General has referred the matter to the US Attorney in Chicago for additional scrutiny, as this episode very much appears to involve improper handling of classified information and potential unlawful conduct.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the chair of the Senate’s Select Committee on Intelligence, demanded a briefing from President Joe Biden’s Justice Department on Tuesday about the stash of classified documents at UPenn reportedly related to Ukraine and Iran and dated between 2013 and 2016.
Warner stated he wanted a briefing on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents related to congressional oversight powers. The requested briefing flies in the face of the media’s decision to downplay the national security breach.
President Joe Biden, for the second day in a row, dodged questions about the classified documents found at his think tank in Washington DC, as a new report claims the files contained information on Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom.
Biden, who is in Mexico City for a meeting of the 'Three Amigos,' ignored questions shouted to him by reporters during his sit-down with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday.
"Mr President, did you mishandle classified documents?' a member of the press corps shouted at him.
He merely smiled and stayed silent as White House staff escorted journalists from the room.

The House of Representatives on Monday evening voted 221-210 to repeal funding for 87,000 IRS agents.
The so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ gave $79.6 billion to the IRS over the next 10 years.
The Wall Street Journal said the new army of IRS agents will target the middle and upper-middle class.
According to new analysis, the IRS audits the poor at 5 times the rate of everyone else.The IRS also has a history of targeting conservative groups.
The House approved its first bill on Monday night rescinding funding for the 87,000 IRS agents.
House Republicans are set to vote on a bill that would abolish the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and introduce a national-consumption tax to replace the existing federal income-tax scheme.
House speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to put the Fair Tax Act on the floor as one of a number of concessions he made to House Freedom Caucus members last week in a bid to secure the speakership. The bill was introduced by Representative Buddy Carter (R., Ga.) on Wednesday and has also received the support of Republican representatives Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Bob Good of Virginia, and Ralph Norman of South Carolina.
President Biden on Tuesday responded to reports that a U.S. attorney was investigating classified documents from his vice presidency which were uncovered at a D.C. think tank affiliated with him, claiming he had no knowledge of them being there.
“Let me get rid of the easy one first,” Biden told reporters during the North American Leaders Summit in Mexico City, where he is on a diplomatic trip to meet with Mexican and Canadian leaders. “People know I take classified documents and classified information seriously,” he said, the Associated Press reported.
“They did what they should have done. They immediately called the archives . . . turned them over

An old-fashioned Georgia Bulldogs beatdown resulted in the most points ever scored in a national championship game, as quarterback Stetson Bennett was responsible for six touchdowns in the 65-7 win over the TCU Horned Frogs.
The win kept the national title in Athens, as the Bulldogs have won back-to-back championships. But this one was never a doubt compared to this bout with Alabama last year.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart called a timeout with 13:25 left in the fourth quarter, with his Bulldogs up 52-7, to allow Bennett a curtain call as he was done for the night. Smiling, Bennet hugged Smart and many of his teammates,
The Insurrection of General Milley

“The riots over the summer, you know, I could make a case that those riots were riots organic to an aggrieved community that perceived that they had various injustices throughout their life,” General Mark A Milley told the J6 Committee. “It was sheer, unmitigated anger that expressed itself in the form of mass violence and rioting. And, okay, I get it, it’s illegal, it’s wrong.”
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who had previously justified the study of “white rage”, went on to defend the riots and the double standard at the heart of the J6 Committee.
“I don’t think the intent of those riots was to overturn the
Columnist David Marcus wrote an opinion piece for Fox News that was published on Monday calling for the defunding of NPR after it ran a disgusting and disturbing essay by author Maia Kobabe defending the “Gender Queer” graphic novel for children which displays graphic drawings of sex acts.
“As House Republicans overcome their differences and take power in the chamber there is an issue that they should take up immediately: defunding National Public Radio. We all know that the taxpayer-funded, so-called news outlet leans farther left than a NASCAR racetrack, but this week they ran a slanderous and frankly disgusting essay by the author of the controversial graphic novel
CNN reporter Jamie Gangel said Monday on “The Situation Room” that reports that President Joe Biden had classified documents from his time as vice president in his personal office was a political gift to former president Donald Trump.
Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “In that ’60 Minutes’ interview Biden did on September 18, 2022 about a month or two before these classified documents were found in his private office here in Washington, he said, ‘How could this possibly happen? How anyone could be that irresponsible? That’s what he said then, and then they discovered these SCI, these very sensitive classified documents at his private office in Washington.”
Donald Trump on Monday led the chorus of condemnation after it emerged that Joe Biden's think tank had been found to contain classified documents.
The ten files were found in early November, by Biden's lawyers, and handed over. The Justice Department has now opened an investigation, which The New York Times said could lead to a special counsel being appointed - as has happened in the case of Donald Trump and the hundreds of documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago.
Biden on Monday was in Mexico City for a meeting with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and refused to answer shouted questions

Special counsel Jack Smith’s team has subpoenaed Donald Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani, according to an exclusive new report from CNN.
The special counsel investigation has asked Giuliani to turn over records to a federal grand jury to examine Donald Trump’s fundraising following the 2020 election, the report adds.
The subpoena, which was sent more than a month ago and has not been previously reported, CNN notes. The subpoenas to other witnesses in addition to Giuliani were sent in late December, the report adds.
The investigation is requesting documents from Giuliani about payments he received at the time he was contesting elections on Donald Trump’s behalf.
Washington - The White House is moving forward with a proposal that would lower student debt payments for millions of Americans now and in the future, offering a new route to repay federal loans under far more generous terms.
President Joe Biden announced the repayment plan in August, but it was overshadowed by his sweeping plan to slash or eliminate student debt for 40 million Americans. Despite the low profile of the payment plan, however, some education experts see it as a more powerful tool to make college affordable, especially for those with lower incomes.
Education Department officials on Tuesday called the new plan a “student loan safety net”
