The Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) has instigated an “extrajudicial penal trial” against Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, accusing the prelate of “the crime of schism.” [Snip] In response, Viganò defended himself stating: In the face of the Dicastery’s accusations, I claim, as Successor of the Apostles, to be in full communion with the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church, with the Magisterium of the Roman Pontiffs, and with the uninterrupted doctrinal, moral, and liturgical Tradition which they have faithfully preserved.

A family of Texas taekwondo instructors heroically stepped in to save a woman from an apparent sexual assault after hearing her screams near their dojo.
Siblings 20-year-old Simon and 22-year-old Hannah An were at their family-owned Yong-In Tae Kwon Do gym in Harris County on Tuesday afternoon when they heard “commotion going on next door,” KHOU11 reported.
By the time sheriff’s deputies arrived at the neighboring Cricket Wireless store, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said instructors from the dojo “had a male pinned to the ground.” [Tweet]

Florida Republicans are closing in on a massive one million voter registration advantage over Democrats in the Sunshine State — roughly 60,000 registered voters from the milestone.
The Republican Party of Florida has been making progress on this front for the past three years, overtaking Democrats for the first time in history in November 2021. At the time, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said, “When I got elected governor, we had 280,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state of Florida.”
“Today, and it will probably be fully publicized very soon, today for the first time in the history of Florida, we’ve now overtaken Democrats,” he said during that November press conference.

A Fort Wayne man convicted for harassing and intimidating U.S. Rep. Jim Banks was given a pass by federal prosecutors, who declined to act on the case despite apparently pursuing similar cases in other districts — according to a December letter Banks sent to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Banks’ office publicized the letter following an op-ed written by Garland condemning political violence, noting that Garland never responded to his concerns about the threats against the Banks family.

Will Sue New York for ‘Lawfare Against
President Trump’ replies
Andrew Bailey, attorney general for the state of Missouri, announced on Thursday that his office will be suing the state of New York for its “lawfare against” former President Donald Trump.
“I will be filing suit against the State of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump. It’s time to restore the rule of law,” Bailey announced on X.
“We have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail. It sabotages Missourians’ right to a free and fair election,” he added.
The state of Missouri has filed a lawsuit against the technology giant International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) for unlawful practices in allegedly requiring racial and gender quotas in its hiring and promotion structures for employees. Missouri Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey on Thursday filed suit against the company, alleging that such practices are a violation of the Missouri Human Rights Act. "It has come to my attention that IBM has adopted an unlawful policy that blatantly favors applicants of a certain gender or skin color over others, and that managers within the company who refuse to comply with said policy face adverse action, including and up to, termination.

President Trump’s lawyers filed a motion to remove Judge Arthur Engoron from the NYC civil fraud case brought by Stalinist NY AG Letitia James.
Trump’s attorneys said Engoron should recuse after it was revealed the judge had an “improper” conversation about the civil fraud case with a real estate lawyer shortly before he issued ruling ordering Trump to pay a $454 million penalty.
The real estate attorney, Adam Leitman Bailey, revealed he had a conversation about the Trump case with Engoron during an interview with NBC New York in February.
“I know he respects my real estate knowledge,” Bailey said. “So I gave it to him. I gave him everything I knew.
A State Department official has been caught on camera admitting the truth behind the ‘Great Replacement Theory.’
This theory is often dismissed by the far-left as “one of the most dangerous white supremacist conspiracy theories out there.”
They argued that the “Great Replacement conspiracy theory is a white supremacist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant concept that posits white people are being replaced by immigrants, Muslims, and other people of color in their so-called “home” countries.”
The footage, recorded by Project Veritas, exposes a chilling reality: the Biden regime is knowingly allowing criminals into the United States to change the country’s demographics.
Americans are fed up with the way the United States is heading under Democrat leadership. Not only does it show in polls regarding President Joe Biden’s historically low ratings, but other left-wing politicians are getting the cold treatment from voters as well. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's (D-NY) job approval rating is sinking faster than the Titanic as residents are fleeing the state for more Republican-friendly regions.
According to a recent Siena College survey, Hochul’s approval rating is just 44 percent— a record low. Respondents cited her carelessness for people and her failure to provide decisive leadership for their disapproval of her leadership.
Fifty percent of respondents disapprove
Former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden by double digits among independents in New York State, the latest Siena College survey found.
The overall survey showed Biden with a net negative approval rating in the blue state. Just 42 percent favor Biden, while most, 53 percent, view him unfavorably — a net negative favorable rating of -11 percent. In May, 45 percent viewed him favorably, compared to 50 percent who had an unfavorable view, giving him a net negative of -5. In other words, his net unfavorable rating increased by six percentage points in the last month.
I think it's safe to say we're there. Where is "there"? In this case, veteran Democrat activist-operative James Carville is openly calling for the creation of a White House-led "enforcement mechanism" to compel the lapdog media to directly help embattled Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in November.
We first go back to May, when New York Times editor Joe Kahn said the duty of his paper is to cover news that Americans care about rather than what helps Biden or hurts Trump, while Biden aides were reportedly urging officials to criticize the NYT’s coverage that didn't help Biden or hurt Trump.
The Biden aides' plan wasn't good enough for Carville.

During Monday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed over a dozen times that videos showing concerning moments that President Joe Biden has had amount to "cheap fakes." Sure enough, on Tuesday, CBS News stepped in to provide cover for the White House when it comes to videos that we've seen with our own eyes. It was a segment that our sister site of Twitchy quipped could have been written by Jean-Pierre herself, and one which Guy touched upon as well, as he fittingly phrased it as "surreal gaslighting" when it comes to how Biden and the media "collude."

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) faced backlash online on Thursday after she chuckled during a television interview when discussing multiple news chyrons that networks displayed during a Biden immigration speech, one of which from Fox News referred to an illegal alien in New York City who violently raped a young girl late last week.

The Louisiana governor signed into law legislation that requires a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in all public classrooms.
And the Left absolutely lost its mind.
The ACLU, who used to stand for free speech but now stands for radical leftism, immediately announced this was unconstitutional and they were going to stand up against it.
CNN’s Elie Honig was asked if the display violated the First Amendment. He replied:

Radicals don't have any compunctions about the actions they take when it comes to their anti-fossil fuel agenda. They've done everything from attacking famous works of art to gluing themselves to roads and blocking traffic. They even went after the Magna Carta last month.
None of what they do has done anything to stop people from using fossil fuels. If anything, it just tends to make people -- even those who might possibly agree with them -- mad at them when they do such crazy things. It brings the right and even some liberals together to decry such actions.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is dropping charges against more than two dozen protesters arrested for ransacking a campus building at Columbia University during the height of its anti-Israel protest encampment.
Manhattan prosecutors said at a court hearing on Thursday that over 3o protesters would not be prosecuted on misdemeanor trespassing charges for storming Columbia’s Hamilton Hall, according to multiple reports.
Protesters covered the security cameras inside Hamilton Hall when they took control of it, contributing to a lack of evidence showing any identifiable individuals committing property damage,
Gerry Brooks was one of our nation's heroes. A Marine - I have it on good authority from friends who served in the Corps that there are no former Marines, only Marines who are no longer on active duty - Gerry was a widower, apparently with no family, and when he passed away at age 86 in a nursing home in Augusta, Maine, nobody showed up to claim his body or make funeral arrangements.
But it didn't end there. The funeral home posted a notice asking if anyone in the community would be willing to serve as a pallbearer, or even to attend his funeral. The response was overwhelming.

There is no point in invoking morality, decency, or any suchlike stuff, in appealing to the pro-Palestinian groups that have been spewing their antisemitic venom on campuses from sea to shining sea to cease and desist.

The final details of next Thursday's debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are being squared away, including the candidates' position on the stage and who will have the final word at the end of the face-off.
Determined by a coin flip, CNN said on Thursday that "Donald Trump will get the final word when he debates President Joe Biden."
"The coin landed on the Biden campaign's pick — tails — which meant his campaign got to choose whether it wanted to select the president's podium position or the order of closing arguments," according to CNN. "Biden's campaign chose to select the right podium position,

President Joe Biden heads to the reclusive mountain resort of Camp David on Thursday night to lock himself up with advisers to prepare for next week's debate with Donald Trump.
With the showdown one week away, Biden, who prefers briefing binders and practice sessions, will be focused on holding Trump accountable on his record and coming up with punchy one-liners to throw off the former president.
Trump, meanwhile, has been trying out new catch phrases and bits of rhetoric, ready to pound his rival with his words.
Not Biden’s age, as such, but his cognitive decline renders him disabled. His aiders and abettors discharge most of the duties of the office, with him serving as a useful idiot. He’s just a clueless figurehead. But there is one thing the malevolent minions cannot usurp from his duties: he has the sole authority to launch nuclear weapons. Outside of the White House, that authority can be initiated by the Presidential Emergency Satchel, colloquially called the Nuclear Football.
Is there anything -- anything -- more terrifying than a bumbling Biden in control of such a thing? The possessed Dem demon with dementia is always within reach of the Football.
Legacy media outlets appear to have gotten the message — straight from the White House — on how to handle a rash of recent viral video clips that show an unflattering side of President Joe Biden looking lost, frail, or old.
The White House has repeatedly referred to these video clips — many of which were not edited and provided full context of the situation in which they were taken — as “cheap fakes,” claiming that they were intentionally deceptive or promoting outright lies about President Biden and his mental state.
“They are done in bad faith. And some of your news organizations have, have been very clear, have stressed

Jack Phillips Is Back in Court

America’s favorite baker, Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop, is back in front of the Colorado supreme court today for yet another round of state-sponsored persecution. The question before the court: Does the First Amendment apply in Colorado, or can the state continue to harass, target, and bully speakers who don’t ascend to the state’s view of cultural issues, in direct contradiction of recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings? That is not hyperbole. The Supreme Court already ruled once that Colorado unconstitutionally targeted Phillips for his religious beliefs. It also ruled a year ago that Colorado law to compel speech violates the First Amendment.

Ash Kalra, the Indian-American chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, briefly sobbed in a tense exchange with Latina Republican Kate Sanchez as she slammed race-based payouts.
The pair were debating Senate Bill 1331, one of 14 reparations bills being weighed by lawmakers after a task force last year proposed $1.2 million packages for every descendant of slavery.
Most Democrat lawmakers have opposed efforts to stop noncitizens from voting as well as basing congressional allocations on citizens only, Rep Chip Roy (R-TX) revealed during a Wednesday appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

Salem radio host Hugh Hewitt identified the one feature about former President Donald Trump those on his VP short list agree on.
"President Trump himself is a deterrent," he recalls North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum telling him during a recent conversation about the threat China poses to Taiwan, the U.S., and the West in general. “America has lost the ability to deter the alliance of evil autocrats around the world,” Hewitt wrote in a Fox News op-ed. “We have to approach this election as though World War III looms, because it does if Biden and his risible ‘advisors’ (read handlers) stay in power.
When a candidate runs on character, you know his record can’t be good.
Hence President Biden’s reported $50 million spend on an ad titled “Character Matters,” which features unflattering photos of Donald Trump while focusing on the Republican nominee’s legal troubles. Hey, we paid good taxpayer money engineering those court cases and we’re not going to waste it.
“Going negative,” as they say in politics, worked for Biden before. He was on the ticket in 2012 when Barack Obama became the first modern president to win reelection with fewer votes than he received the first time.
It has been almost 4 years since the mainstream media demanded we not believe our lying eyes and instead pretend that Hunter Biden’s infamous and damning laptop was all just Russian disinformation.

The EPA finalized new rules for models of semi-trucks, buses and other heavy-duty vehicles released from 2027 to 2032 in a bid to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Loos said another requirement that up to 56% of all car sales be electric between 2030 and 2032 is unrealistic.

President Joe Biden is being shuffled to Camp Debate to prepare for the most consequential debate of his political career: the June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump. Biden is mustering all his top advisers to prepare him for this epic showdown, where the president’s mental health and stamina will be tested. For weeks, we’ve seen a mentally declining president on display.
CBS News reported that “we should expect some surprises” from this debate preparation excursion. And what will that be—Biden not falling or him saying something remotely coherent? The 2024 playbook is a mess, and it's Democrats who are making that known behind the scenes.
"Rustin" is a Netflix biopic produced by Barack and Michelle Obama. Bayard Rustin, the underappreciated black 1960s civil rights activist, certainly deserves an ambitious film about his life. After all, the 1963 "March on Washington" that culminated with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic "I Have a Dream" speech was Rustin's brainchild.
Rustin, in a matter of about seven weeks, assembled a team that promoted the march and handled the logistics. This included security, transportation, seating, a sound system, and providing water and restroom facilities for an expected 100,000 attendees that swelled to a crowd of 250,000.

Governor Gavin Newsom enjoyed a recent $98 billion budget surplus—gifted from multibillion-dollar federal COVID-19 subsidies, the highest income and gas taxes in the nation, and among the country’s steepest sales and property taxes.
The Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss a challenge to the abortion pill mifepristone means the drug’s future is now firmly tied to the 2024 presidential election.
Anti-abortion groups said they were dealt only a temporary setback by last week’s ruling and are planning the path forward on how best to restrict access or get the drug removed from the market completely. The court left the door open to other legal challenges, including from a trio of red states in front of the same Trump-appointed federal judge who initially suspended mifepristone’s approval in 2023.
The Biden administration announced Tuesday it will be following through on plans to bar medical debt from being included on credit scores.
“One of the most significant consequences of carrying medical debt is the harm it does to a person’s credit score,” Vice President Harris said in a press briefing. “Medical debt makes it more difficult for millions of Americans to be approved for a car loan, a home loan or a small business loans. All of which in turn makes it more difficult to just get by much less get ahead. And that is simply not fair.”
What does one dictator bent on world domination give another? Limos, tea sets and daggers, of course.
During his first visit to North Korea in nearly a quarter century this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin came bearing gifts for the despotic Kim Jong Un — with the big unveil being a Russian-made Aurus limousine.
Kim — reportedly a major car enthusiast and collector — beamed as he jumped in beside Putin at the wheel of the limo and they hit the highway side by side. Kim Jong Un takes the wheel of his new Aurus Senat, alongside Vladimir Putin.
One of the Bidenary impacts to economic analysis and/or economic outcome review has been the inability of any government statistical data to make any sense. Quite frankly, almost every financial pundit in mainstream media pretends the data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) or the Dept of Commerce is accurate. It’s not, and we all know it.
Just like every other institution in Washington DC, the systems of economic tracking have lost all their credibility. That said, even with all the pretending intended to prop-up the Biden administration,
South Korea’s presidential office on Thursday condemned an agreement reached by Russia and North Korea that vowed mutual defense assistance in the event of war and said it will reconsider its policy of limiting its support to Ukraine to non-lethal supplies.
The comments by a senior presidential official came hours after North Korea’s state media released the details of the agreement reached between its leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their summit on Wednesday in Pyongyang.
Since October 7, when Iranian proxies Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad committed unspeakable atrocities against men, women, children and babies in Israel, large parts of the international community have been in a frenzy over the Jews' puzzling inclination to defend themselves.
This is the same French government [which banned Israel from participating in Eurosatory 2024 defense industry trade fair] so obsessed with appearing inclusive and non-discriminatory that it recently supported a bill that outlaws discrimination based on hair texture, length, color or style.
Vice President Kamala Harris received critical backlash after she welcomed founders and cast members of the show 'Queer Eye' to the White House.
A video of TV star Jonathan Van Ness went viral on Tuesday as he stepped up to the White House podium during the visit and hosted a mock press briefing.
'JVN is it true that is all your natural hair?' one cast member asked Van Ness, as he stood at the briefing room podium. The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard

Three years ago, Biden rolled out the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD), allocating $42.5 billion to bring high-speed internet access to rural America. And not a single home has been connected to the network. It’s a hodgepodge of government bureaucracy, red tape, and other aspects of Washington that perfectly illustrates why this is a classic tale of government action (via Washington Times): (X) Residents in rural America are eager to access high-speed internet under a $42.5 billion federal modernization program, but not a single home or business
A whistleblower nurse who accused America's largest children's hospital of illegally using Medicaid benefits to offer children free sex change operations claims the FBI showed up at her doorstep and threatened her.
Vanessa Sivadge told journalist Chris Rufo that her employer, the Texas Children's Hospital, was violating state law by using the benefits to provide sex change operations to minors.
She further alleged that doctors at the hospital were manipulating patients into accepting 'gender-affirming care, and said she believed that some families feared the doctors would call Child Protective Services if they dissented.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) explained that he did not attend a meeting with former President Donald Trump last week to “support” him, but rather to “listen.”
Romney clarified to CNN chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju that the meeting he attended at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) headquarters between Republican senators and Trump, had not swayed his opinion on supporting the former president. “I didn’t go there to support former President Trump,” Romney began. “I went there to listen to what he was planning on doing if he became president.”
A bipartisan bill that will advance the development of nuclear energy power plants in the nation was passed by the United States Senate on Tuesday.
In an 88-2 vote, the Senate voted to pass the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act, which is part of the Fire Grants and Safety Act (S.8.70), according to a press release from the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW). The ADVANCE Act will now move forward to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed. “Today, we sent the ADVANCE Act to the president’s desk because Congress worked together to recognize the importance of nuclear
The intelligence community is telling Congress that the warning lights are flashing bright red. Is anyone paying attention?
Former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell is urging the Biden administration to 'do something.' Morell and Graham Allison, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy and Plans, wrote an op-ed for Foreign Affairs earlier this month.
It's the open southern border, stupid.
"Given the particular vulnerability of the southern border, Biden’s recent executive order to restrict asylum processing is a valuable step toward limiting entry to the United States," Morell and Graham Allison, former United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy and Plans,
As our sister site Townhall reported, Silicon Valley progressive Allison Huynh, who co-created a robotics and AI company that was sold to Google, has decided to change her Obama-loving ways and back Donald Trump in the presidential election over failed incumbent Joe Biden. She believes that Democrats have lost their way, and no place is that more obvious than in the former jewel of California, San Francisco:
“He’s allowed Big Tech as well as the looters to take over Silicon Valley,” she told “Fox & Friends First.”
“San Francisco has been the science experiment that’s gone awry. I wake up in the morning, there’s no grocery stores
