Posted By: Hazymac, 2/19/2025 11:28:18 AM
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has sued the Trump administration, asserting that President Trump's order suspending refugee grants was illegal and demanding millions in what it claims is owed to Catholic charities for work performed under the grant. The USCCB represents the leadership of the Catholic Church in the United States, The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, names as defendants the State Department, the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration and the Department of Health and Human Services. It says the bishops have partnered with the U.S. government

Hooters - known for its scantily-clad waitresses - is the latest American restaurant chain facing financial problems.
Bosses at the chain are in urgent talks with lenders and advisers as the popular chain tries to address $300 million of debts, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Earlier this year, Hooters shuttered around 40 'underperforming' restaurants including locations Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia as it bid to cut costs.
But debts are mounting and more drastic action is needed for the 41-year-old brand.
If Hooters cannot refinance its debt, it would have to consider bankruptcy and more closures.

After ‘Silent Vigil’ Outside Abortion
Clinic in Scotland 8 replies
A 74-year-old woman has been charged after silently praying outside an abortion clinic in Scotland less than a week after U.S. Vice President JD Vance highlighted the draconian thought crime laws in the UK.
The pro-life activist has reportedly become the first person to be arrested and charged under Scotland’s Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act, the BBC reported.
The law, which came into force last year, prohibits any protests or vigils being held within 200m (656ft) of abortion clinics in Scotland, mirroring similar restrictions enacted in England and Wales.
In footage widely distributed on social media, the 74-year-old woman was heard asking police: “Am I committing an offence?”

American life today is characterized in no small part by nearly ceaseless exposure to LGBTQ propaganda. Everywhere you turn, you’re confronted with “the message,” be it in grade schools, on college campuses, while watching television or movies, or at work. There are no “safe spaces” sheltered from the deluge—not even FEMA’s hurricane recovery efforts have been spared.
How did such a small “community” capture America’s institutions? The answer is complex, but a new database by The Project to Expose Corporate Activism (PECA) shines a light on a significant part of the story.
PECA’s database shows that corporations have become the vanguard of the LGBTQ
During an appearance on Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” long-time Democrat strategist and media commentator James Carville declared the collapse of President Donald Trump to be underway already.
Carville, who predicted former Vice President Kamala Harris would be elected to the presidency last November, cited polling and urged Democrats to “just sit back” and let the so-called “collapse” take place.
“[L]et me back up,” he said. “We went with our seven-string quarterback, and we lost by a point and a half, and we actually picked up a congressional seat. So, if you’re asking me, did I think that she was going to win and she didn’t win? Yes,
Tensions between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are ramping up amid negotiations to ultimately end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Trump blasted Zelenskyy for being a “dictator without elections” who lost massive amounts of U.S. aid and was responsible for millions of unnecessary deaths. The U.S. president also blasted Zelenskyy for having a four percent approval rating. That percentage was widely contested by the media and even X’s “community notes” which claimed Zelenskyy’s approval rating is 57 percent.
As it turns out, the source of the 57 percent approval claim is suspect, at best.
“Claims that Zelensky has an approval rate of 57% are from the Kyiv International Institute

two FBI agents after Biden commuted his sentence 10 replies
A so-called Native American activist convicted of murdering two FBI agents in 1975 was welcomed home by a congressional Democrat on Tuesday after former President Joe Biden commuted his sentence.
According to the FBI, in 1975 two FBI agents named Jack Coler and Ronald Williams traveled to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota to serve arrest warrants for robbery and assault.
What ensued next was a shoot-out during which the two agents were killed at close range by activist Leonard Peltier. (X) “An examination of the physical evidence concluded that Agents Williams and Coler had been killed at close range by a .223 type bullet,” the FBI notes.

We need someone of Freud’s intelligence to write a book on the psychopathology of Islamist terrorism. Rather than producing the fourth hostage corpse — right there we have a couple of symptoms — it turns out that Hamas substituted the corpse of a random non-hostage in lieu of that of Mrs. Bibas yesterday.
At the moment Mrs. Bibas is unaccounted for. I infer that her kidnappers have murdered Mrs. Bibas, as they did the Bibas boys, but I’m beyond the limit of my insight into the psychopathology of Islamist terrorism.
Just as a reminder, Hamas had announced the return of Mrs. Bibas’s corpse along with that of her beautiful boys,
Jason Furman is a left-leaning economist who currently works at Harvard but who previously served as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama. So his recent takedown of Bidenomics is coming from an ally of the party not an outsider.
Furman's analysis starts with the fact that voters rejected Biden and Harris because in their view Bidenomics was not a rousing success. If you had to point to a single cause for widespread dissatisfaction with Biden's tenure, it would probably be inflation.

Unfathomable Depravity In Gaza

With all the political rhetoric thrown around in Washington these days, alternating between Donald Trump and Elon Musk as to whom is more Hitleresque depending on what level of government corruption they discover and bring to a halt, you'd think the October 7th attacks by Hamas on Israel alone would check that impulse to invoke Godwin's law in describing the Trump administration. But you'd be wrong.
A few weeks ago, when three hostages were released, emaciated to the point of looking like they'd spent a year inside an actual concentration camp, maybe that could get us to the place where you can disagree with policy and personnel

Alan Dershowitz said he will sue Jack Schlossberg after the social media influencer and only grandson of John F. Kennedy falsely claimed the civil rights attorney and Harvard professor had killed his wife, The Post has learned.
“I hope he will preserve all of his documents because I am about to commence a legal action against him,” Dershowitz, who has been married to Carolyn Cohen since 1986, told The Post Wednesday.
“My lawyers have advised me now that I have a viable defamation action.” Earlier this month, Schlossberg, with wild, unkempt hair, filmed himself attacking the 86-year-old lawyer.

As Japan’s defeat during World War II became obvious, many of its soldiers performed harakiri -- a ritual suicide by disembowelment using a sword -- as an honorable alternative to surrendering. Perhaps one of the most notable moments of a U.S. presidential candidate performing political harakiri occurred in March 2004.
Explaining his vote in support of $87 billion for our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Democrat candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) responded, "I actually voted in favor of the $87 billion before I voted against it." His words famously became reduced to “I was for it before I was against it.” Critics had a field day with this,

I’m immunocompromised with rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren’s syndrome. I refuse to get the COVID vaccine. I still get the flu and pneumonia vaccine, though. The one time I forgot to update my pneumonia shot I got it. I had pneumonia in December 2019, and I wanted to die. COVID? I just slept a lot.
I felt worse with the flu and, of course, pneumonia…

Leading doctors are warning that President Donald Trump is potentially letting one of the world's deadliest infections take hold in the US following his freeze on global health aid.
Dr Amesh Adalja, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg school of public health, told DailyMail.com that mpox - formerly known as monkeypox - could become a real global emergency in the wake of Trump's drastic move.
In August 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared mpox a 'public health emergency of international concern', following a surge in cases in the The US government, up until now, has maintained partnerships in global health security and development with the DRC and throughout Africa,

Toxic RINO Senator Susan Collins (ME) on Thursday morning announced she is a “no” vote on Kash Patel.
The Senate will vote to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director on Thursday. Senator Collins came out against Kash Patel just hours before the vote.
Senator Collins said her decision to vote against Kash Patel comes after a flood of firings and resignations at the Justice Department.
“The nomination of Kash Patel to serve as Director of the FBI comes to the Senate against the backdrop of recent personnel actions at the Department of Justice, including the resignations of several career federal prosecutors who felt they were being

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett could not comprehend the idea of the federal government handing out dividends to Americans over the money it has wasted for decades during a Thursday segment on ABC News. President Donald Trump expressed interest in handing out $5,000 dividend checks to every taxpayer with the money saved by the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) downsizing of the federal government. Crockett said she does not believe $5,000 will help out the average American and appeared to ignore the fact that the federal government has wasted billions of dollars in spending for several years.
No new water storage infrastructure has been built in California, more than a decade after voters approved a $7.5 billion water bond in Proposition 1 of 2014.
The San Jose Mercury-News reported Wednesday that officials are deciding what to do with nearly half a billion dollars of available cash after the “collapse” of a project to expand the Los Vaqueros Reservoir, which is east of San Francisco.
Other projects have received funding for planning and permitting, but nothing has been built.
The newspaper noted:

It’s Time for Israel to Unleash Hell

After Hamas terrorists paraded the coffins of the Bibas children around Gaza before their Thursday release, it was hard to imagine that there was any room for the family’s tragic ordeal to get even worse. And yet, somehow it has.
A short while ago, the Israel Defense Forces announced a forensics examination identified Kfir and Ariel Bibas (who were nine months old and four years old at the time of their abduction) as two of the bodies returned by Hamas, determining that they were brutally murdered in November 2023.
While this tragic news was expected, another detail came as a shock: “During the identification process, it was determined
Although Hamas claimed that the four bodies released to Israel on Thursday included Shiri Bibas and her two young children Ariel and Kfir, an Israeli forensics team announced late on Thursday evening that the body believed to be Shiri’s was not, in fact, Shiri Bibas.
Specialists at Abu Kabir Forensic Institute determined that Ariel and Kfir were “brutally murdered by terrorists” in November 2023, and that “the additional body received” was not Shiri’s. The specialist confirmed the identities of Ariel, Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz, a retired journalist.
“No match was found for any other hostage. This is an anonymous, unidentified body,”
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum filed a controversial series of changes to the country’s constitution that would essentially block any investigation or action by foreign law enforcement agencies without their permission. The provisions could enable Mexico to criminally pursue anyone involved in those investigations. The changes come after the United States designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and announced the intent to eradicate them.
This week, Sheinbaum filed a series of changes to the country’s constitution that, if approved by the legislative branch, would change Articles 40 and 19 of Mexico’s constitution.
The Trump administration is considering steps that could give it more control over the independent US Postal Service, according to multiple published reports. It’s a move that could upend how Americans get critical deliveries including online purchases, prescription drugs, checks and vote-by-mail ballots.
The Washington Post first reported late Thursday, citing numerous anonymous sources, that President Donald Trump planned to disband the US Postal Service’s Board of Governors and place the agency under direct control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. The Wall Street Journal also Friday reported on the plan to dissolve the commission, citing government officials.
The Postal Service did not respond to requests for comment.

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett disclosed on Friday that she is “rooting for” Canada and Mexico due to their opposition to President Donald Trump’s administration. Trump influenced both Canada and Mexico to pledge on Feb. 3 to bolster their border security efforts with the United States in exchange for a 30-day pause on the 25% tariffs he had announced. Crockett, on “The Breakfast Club,” admitted it is “really wild” that she is supporting these nations over her own, but said she appreciated their defiance of the Trump administration.

The fiery hosts at ABC’s “The View” have faced pressure to dial back their anti-President Trump rhetoric — even as “morale is low” among staffers following layoffs and unpopular cost-cutting moves, The Post has learned.
A source close to the show’s co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — said the mood on the set is increasingly tense at the daytime talk show.
That’s partly because Brian Teta, executive producer of “The View,” spoke to staffers about “going easy” on Trump-related commentary in the days leading up to the 47th president taking the oath of office,
President Donald Trump announced Thursday his intention to personally inspect the United States’ gold reserves housed at Fort Knox.
This announcement comes amid growing speculation regarding the actual contents of the United States Bullion Depository.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has called for a long-overdue audit of the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox—reportedly something that hasn’t happened in nearly 50 years.
