Cardinal Blase Cupich. Goat_Girl, CC-BY-2.0, Wikimedia Commons By now it shouldn’t be surprising when Catholic clergy counter-signal President Trump. It happened first when Pope Francis attacked him for wanting to build a border wall in 2016. It happened in December of last year when Leo indirectly rebuked him for his peace plan in Ukraine, which he said would “break apart” the U.S.’s “alliance” with Europe. And it happened again earlier this month when three of the most liberal members of the American Church’s hierarchy pushed back on his foreign policy. On January 19, Cardinal Blase Cupich, Cardinal Robert McElroy, and Cardinal Joseph Tobin, C.Ss.R. published what several mainstream media outlets rightly noted was an “unusual” statement subtly rebuking the Trump administration for its approach to international affairs, a topic that under former president Joe Biden the three oddly never opted to weigh in on. While specifically mentioning Venezuela, Ukraine, and Greenland, …
Disregard this confounding promoter of sodmites and baby killers. Look into Cupich’s time as Rector of the Pontifical College Josephinum and subsequent bishoprics. Nothing but cover-ups and disallowing his clergy from active pro-life activities. Not to mention his anti TLM stance. Bad news all round.
Keir Starmer has been forced into an embarrassing climbdown after U.S. president Donald Trump tore into Britain’s plan to give away the Chagos Islands, triggering legal alarms and exposing fresh cracks in the UK’s security policy. The British prime minister quietly pulled legislation that would have handed the Indian Ocean archipelago to Mauritius, just days before it was due to be debated in parliament. The retreat followed blunt warnings that the deal could breach a binding UK–U.S. defence treaty—and a withering public attack from the White House. Trump did not mince his words. Posting on Truth Social, the U.S. president called the proposed handover “an act of great stupidity,” warning that surrendering strategically vital territory weakened Western security at a time of growing global tension. His intervention landed heavily in London, where officials were already struggling to justify the plan. At the heart of the row is Diego Garcia, a remote island that hosts one of the most …
Für das großteils steuerfinanzierte DÖW braucht es nicht viel, um Extremist zu sein – es genügt schon, an zwei biologische Geschlechter zu glauben. Foto: KI-Generiert Der aktuelle „Rechtsextremismusbericht 2024“ des linken Privatvereins Dokumentationsarchivs des österreichischen Widerstandes (DÖW), veröffentlicht im Auftrag des ÖVP-geführten Innenministeriums, sorgt für heftige Kritik. Darin wird ein Weltbild vermittelt, das konservative Positionen pauschal unter Verdacht stellt – und in dem man sogar für völlig normale Meinungen schon als Extremist gebrandmarkt wird: Beispielsweise werden die Überzeugungen, dass es zwei biologische Geschlechter gibt oder sich Migranten integrieren müssen, als mögliche “Einstiegsdrogen” für extremistisches Denken bezeichnet. Nur zwei Geschlechter? Rechtsextrem! Die Freiheitlichen haben dazu eine klare Meinung: Es genüge bereits, an zwei biologische Geschlechter zu glauben, traditionelle Familienwerte zu vertreten oder Integration statt …
Wenn das Innenministerium Berichte finanziert, die zur politischen Verfolgung Andersdenkender dienen, dann ist das nicht mehr nur ein Problem des Ministers, dann ist das ein Angriff auf unsere Demokratie und ein Angriff auf die Mitte der Gesellschaft. Diese ÖVP dreht völlig durch.
Sarco, a euthanasia device invented by Philip Nitschke. Wikimedia Commons, Ratel, CC-BY-SA-4.0 The inventor of the notorious “suicide pod” is back with a new macabre spin on the original device: a version designed for couples to die together. Unveiled in 2019, the Sarco Suicide Pod is a portable, 3D-printed, one-man capsule that can be flooded with nitrogen from inside, after the user answers one survey to be told the pod’s location, then another set of questions to confirm his or her intent to die. “We want to remove any kind of psychiatric review from the process and allow the individual to control the method themselves,” inventor Philip Nitschke of euthanasia advocacy group Exit International has said. “The machine can be towed anywhere for the death. It can be in an idyllic outdoor setting or in the premises of an assisted-suicide organization, for example … It’s very comfortable … There is no panic, no choking.” The pod was only used once so far, with the 2024 death of a …
After a heated parliamentary session, French MPs voted in favour of a resolution against the Muslim Brotherhood, classifying it as a terrorist organisation. This decision comes after numerous reports and warnings about the group’s infiltration of and growing influence on French society. On Thursday, January 22nd, the centre-right Les Républicains (LR) party had control of the parliamentary agenda to submit bills of their choice for consideration by MPs. With 157 votes to 101, they succeeded in passing a resolution to launch a procedure to have the Muslim Brotherhood included in the list of terrorist organisations at the European level. The non-binding text calls on the European Union to conduct “a legal and factual assessment of the transnational network of the Muslim Brotherhood.” The rapporteur defended the text against a “political movement” whose aim is to “make Sharia law triumph over the law of the Republic,” arguing that such a classification would make it possible to freeze …
