Is Any 'One Culture Superior to Others'?

Recently, while apologizing to "indigenous peoples" and denouncing Christians — without the all-important historical context — Pope Francis declared, "Never again can the Christian community allow itself to be infected by the idea that one culture is superior to others[.]" This — claiming all cultures are equal — is a dangerous position, not least as it leads to relativism and the abnegation of Truth. For most Western people today, the word culture conjures at best superficial differences — "exotic" dress or food. In reality, however, cultures are nothing less than entire and distinct worldviews with their own unique sets of right and wrongs, often rooted in a

If you’ve ever followed the efforts to expose the Church of Scientology for the abusive cult that it is, you know how the church inserts itself into any legal proceeding regarding one of its celebrity members, even if the case doesn’t directly involve Scientology.
It has come to light that Scientology attorneys got their hands on criminal discovery material in the rape trial of Scientologist and former sitcom star Danny Masterson. Masterson, who starred on That ’70s Show, faces accusations of raping three women in the early 2000s.
“Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller told the trial judge on Wednesday that a tranche of criminal
I believe a that a society can only be as compassionate as long as it can spend other people’s money. When you start spending your own money, it’s funny how cruel and selfish people can get.
And an industrialized society can only be as green as it can afford to be without destroying itself. Save the trees — as long as you can still build my hardwood floors.
These are very simple rules that great big grown-up countries should live by. Immature nations ignore those rules and end up circling the drain. Fortunately, there are just enough leaders in the United States like Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller
Happy Friday, everyone. Once again, it was an up-and-down news week. No sooner had Trump finished playing hacky-sack with the heads of the CNN staff than Title 42 ran out and the inaugural Arizona Illegal Alien 5K was held. Everyone was a winner, except the American people.
Now that we can finally go outside for an extended period of time without getting hit with rain or snow, it is barbecue season in my part of the country. Admittedly, for me, every season is barbecue season. I’ve grilled in the spring, summer, and fall, and have even been known to shovel the patio in January so I could have a place
Busted Border: Biden Administration Caught

Coordinating Illegal Crossings with Mexican Government 12 replies
The good news is that our southern border isn’t actually wide-open everywhere, like you right-wing whackos keep saying. The bad news is that record numbers of illegal immigrants are crossing the Rio Grande at Matamoros in a carefully orchestrated effort between the Biden Administration and the government of Mexico.
I guess I’m one of those right-wing whackos — and if not, I certainly became one after finding this report for you.
The Center for Immigration Studies reported a real shocker on Thursday concerning a strange sight on the Mexican side of the border at Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas. There, “large crowds” of immigrants could be seen,
LAKELAND, Fla. - Polk County investigators identified the 13-year-old who fired a round at a Lakeland officer, striking him in the foot. Other officers shoot at the teen, sending him to the hospital.
During a press conference Thursday, Sheriff Grady Judd also named a 14-year-old and 19-year-old Jermaine Julian, saying they were with the youngest suspect, 13-year-old Wesley Dalmas, and tried to flee from police. Investigators said Julian is in a gang, while the Dalmas and Speight are "gang affiliated."
The sheriff firmly pointed out that age doesn't matter in the scenario that played out in Lakeland on Wednesday evening.
"I don’t care that chronologically they are 14, 13, or 19.
You are the carbon footprint they want to reduce.
Last week, Jocelyn Timperley penned an article for the BBC, and began by posing this question:
But what do truly low-carbon lifestyles look like – and can they really be achieved by personal choice alone?
Timperley’s piece paid special attention to two climate cultists, Carys Mainprize and Rosalind Readhead, and their ambitious experiments to go “ultra-low carbon”. The verdict? Impossible; something’s gotta give. Care to take a wager what that could possibly be?
If you guessed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and property, you’d be correct.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) It’s always difficult to anticipate what new trickery the Democrats might concoct to sway any given election. They’re devious, after all, and it’s nigh on impossible for non-devious types to get in their heads.
Another thing that’s important to ponder is which parts of their established playbook they might trot out. It’s a thick playbook, to be sure, and there’s a good chance that they’ll be throwing the whole thing at the GOP to keep President LOLEightyonemillion around well past his expiration date. The cabal running Biden’s brain is at this moment prepping for whichever nominee the Republicans eventually throw at them.
Joe Biden is apparently suffering from delusions of grandeur. Despite his disastrous presidency, which has given us historic inflation, record high gas prices, a border crisis, a supply chain crisis, and countless Kamala Harris interviews, he fancies himself to be one of the most qualified presidential candidates in American history.
During an MSNBC interview, Biden was asked why, at 82 years old, he is the right fit for “the most important job in the world.”
It’s a surprising question to hear from someone from MSNBC, but it was not as surprising as Biden’s response was ridiculous.
“Because I have acquired a hell of a lot of wisdom.
Tara Reade, who says President Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in the 1990s when she worked in his U.S. Senate office, posted a cryptic message about what should happen if she dies.
"I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden," Reade tweeted Sunday. "Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work.
She also said that she is not suicidal, nor a foreign agent and she only decided to tell the truth and testify under oath in Congress about her experience working for Biden.
The president has denied allegations of the assault
The least honorable president in American history had a softball interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Friday, in which he uttered one of the most outlandish lies of his entire life, which has been filled with his outlandish lies: “I think I’ve proven myself to be honorable, as well as effective.” As Matt Margolis noted Sunday, this was in the course of a paean of boasting from Old Joe Biden that included praise of his own wisdom and experience. But now Joe Biden would have us believe that he is honorable, too? Come on, man! This guy lies every time his lips move.
The part about Old Joe being effective, however,
Sen. Chris Murphy Pushes ‘Assault Weapons’
Ban, Says Mass Shooters Would be ‘Most Affected’ 29 replies
Ban, Says Mass Shooters Would be ‘Most Affected’ 29 replies
Gun control Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) tweeted Sunday that AR-15 rifles are not necessary for hunting or self-defense and suggested mass shooters would be those “most affected” by an “assault weapons” ban.
He described the AR-15 as “the mass shooter’s best friend,” omitting any mention that the shooting at an Atlanta hospital earlier in the week was carried out with a handgun.
Murphy tweeted: [Tweet] The AR-15 is the most popular rifle platform in America, as variants of the rifle are used for long range shooting, competition, hunting (predator and big game), as well as self-defense, home defense, and plinking.
On February 17, 2018, Breitbart News pointed out that then-Sen.

On Wednesday night, CNN invited President Trump to hold a town hall in front of New Hampshire voters.
Despite her best efforts and weeks of preparation and role-playing, “nasty” CNN host Kaitlan Collins was dragged through the mud by President Trump.
CNN had to cut the network’s town hall with President Trump by 20 minutes after Trump, backed by a wildly supportive audience (hand-picked by CNN), took control of the forum from anchor Kaitlan Collins right from the start and never let up.
Puck’s Dylan Byers reported on CNN cutting the town hall short, “Note: The CNN Town Hall was a 90-minute broadcast,
A few years back, I had a cat that figured out that the laser pointer wasn't real. (snip) America is an endless laser show of red nothing dots. Manufactured outrage, "someone said this...be outraged," (snip) Take the spokes-man who will not be named, and Tranzheuser-Busch. Want to know what happened there? Nothing. Nothing at all. They sent a can to a man-child in a dress, and he drank a beer in a bathtub and filmed it. Yet everyone is willing to destroy the lives of employees and distributors who had less than nothing to do with the marketing stunt.
Why did CNN host a town hall with former President Trump? For the ratings, baby. The network has been in the ratings doldrums for so long that it decided Trump was the person to put them in the win column. He did. The town hall got a Tucker Carlson level rating with 3.3 million viewers. CNN was the most-watched cable news network of the evening and that hasn’t happened in years.
Axios reports that on an editorial call with CNN employees Thursday morning, CEO Chris Licht defended the event.
“It is our job to get those answers and hold him accountable,’ he said while acknowledging that covering Trump is “messy
As we sit comfortably in our homes, having dinner with our families, crime rates are going up all around us. (snip) Now, under the guise of prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, sex, etc., Democrats have proposed regulations that would force jurisdictions that accept HUD funding to "promote equity in their communities, decrease segregation, and increase access to opportunity and community assets for people of color and other underserved communities."
In other words, the left is saying that the route to upward mobility for disadvantaged minorities is dependent on their relocation to more affluent areas
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis always makes a big deal about signing all of the Florida laws that stem from new legislation the people behind his administration submit from his office. However, when he signed the new law that sealed all his travel records (snip) he did so quietly.
The Ron DeSantis reelection was all a big con job… all of it. Florida was duped, and I have had a lot of people begging me not to point it out and talk about it. Too bad. The Truth Has No Agenda here!
The not pretending reason for the exclusive DeSantis new law is to stop anyone from tracing the background
It must have seemed to Democrats like a good idea at the time to encourage the idea that their most solid political base, African Americans, deserve payment from taxpayers for the harm that slavery did to their ancestors. Particularly when Donald Trump began making inroads in 2016, taking Hillary Clinton’s support among black males down to 82%, well below the 90s that Barack Obama enjoyed. Because bribing voting blocs with taxpayers’ money is such a familiar tool for politicians, this tactic didn’t raise alarm at first.

Furious residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit against the city after it announced plans to house illegal immigrants in a disused high school in the South Side.
The old South Shore High School is expected to become a temporary holding space for up to 500 migrants, but officials have not clarified for how long.
The lawsuit was filed after on May 4 hundreds of South Shore residents packed into an auditorium and bombarded local officials with criticism over plans to house the migrants in the school, complaining about safety and
I know Romanian corruption.
When I was exiting the country in 1987 after investigating its collapsing economy, I made sure to bribe every guard who searched my luggage at the Bucharest airport with a pack of Kent cigarettes. But I neglected to give a pack to the soldier on the tarmac as I walked to my Lufthansa flight.
He was soon screaming and waving his submachine gun in my direction. Whoops.
After the fall of the Communist regime, the US State Department launched a program to help Romania curtail corruption.
Vice President Joe Biden masterminded that effort from 2009 to 2016.
Charges were filed against four teenage suspects in the murder of a 24-year-old Chicago police officer.
Joseph Brooks, 18, Jakwon Buchanan, 18, Trevell Breeland, 19, and Jaylan Frazier, 16, were all charged as adults with first-degree murder.
Officer Areanah Preston, 24, was found dead in front of her home on 81st Street and Blackstone Avenue as she came from work at 1.42am on Saturday morning.
She died from multiple gunshot wounds and her death is officially being considered a in-the-line-of-duty killing, a CPD spokesperson said Monday.
Surveillance video showed three of the suspects getting out of a car and running toward Preston.
The View co-host Ana Navarro had some choice words for Democrats who are concerned Joe Biden is “too old” for re-election, reminding them that Donald Trump is poised to become the Republican nominee. “Anybody who thought the Republican base was going to turn away from him saw this week that that is not going to happen,” Navarro said of Trump’s town hall appearance on CNN. “So, I would tell people who are angry with CNN, channel that anger into the voting booth. “And you know, all the Democrats who fret and clutch their pearls, oh, ’cause Biden is too old
Consumers' Research, a Washington, D.C.–based conservative nonprofit organization, recently introduced "Woke Alerts," text messages that inform consumers about products and companies that cater to a radical "woke agenda."
A recent alert highlighted a new LGBT "pride" clothing collection from Target. The corporate behemoth has long been a champion of progressive dogma and policies, opening up bathrooms and dressing rooms to "all genders," eliminating separate "boys" and "girls" toy sections, etc. The left-leaning international retail giant has sold kids' books with titles such as "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?" and "The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish."
Louisiana – Kenner police this week revealed a racial motive in the killing of a 66-year-old handyman.
Two black male suspects, Tahj Matthews, 23 and Maurice Holmes, 25, admitted to their role in killing Lawrence Herr while he was repairing a mailbox last month.
One of the suspects told police he “just wanted to kill a white guy.”
Matthews and Holmes were both charged with first-degree murder in connection with the fatal drive-by shooting on April 10.
According to reports, the suspects gunned down Lawrence Herr while he was repairing a mailbox on Kenner’s Georgetown Place.
Both suspects are being held in the Jefferson Parish Correction Center, according to WVUE.
