Priest Demoted After Letting Pop Singer Desecrate Church for Music Video

/0 Comments/in , , /by

When you think you have finally seen every destructive thing a culture can produce, something still more destructive confronts you.

In the video for her new single, “Feather,” pop singer Sabrina Carpenter used a Catholic Church’s sanctuary as a setting in which to perform provocative dances while scantily clad.

Now, according to The Spectator, the parish priest responsible for approving the church’s use has suffered demotion.

Carpenter’s performance occurred at the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Brooklyn, New York. She released the video on Halloween.

In response to justifiable outrage, the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn has stripped Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello of administrative duties. The Diocese also removed Gigantiello from a development role. (Read more from “Priest Demoted After Letting Pop Singer Desecrate Church for Music Video” HERE)

Democrats Regain Control of Virginia House of Delegates in Rebuke to Youngkin

/0 Comments/in , /by

Virginia Democrats regained their majority in the House of Delegates, flipping control of the state’s lower chamber in a stunning rebuke to Republicans who sought to defend their slim majority and continue pushing their conservative agenda in the commonwealth.

Democrats managed to regain control of the House after flipping a handful of seats in key districts, marking a crucial win for the party as they seek to thwart Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s agenda on key issues such as abortion, education, and the economy. The victory hands the majority back to Democrats after Republicans won narrow control of the chamber in 2021, giving Democrats control of both chambers of the state legislature heading into the 2024 cycle.

The victory also deals a blow to Youngkin when it comes to national ambitions, as it has been widely speculated the Virginia governor could declare a late presidential bid depending on how well Republicans performed in the off-year elections.

Although Youngkin himself was not on the 2023 ballot, the first-term governor made himself a constant presence on the campaign trail, stumping for GOP candidates and donating millions of dollars from his political action committee to boost local GOP efforts.

Jihadist Monsters and Leftist Crazies Team Up To Set the World on Fire

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.

For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. And not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America. . .

After all, it’s one thing to comprehend the evil motivations and actions of an Islamic death cult – people brainwashed from birth to regard butchering Jews as a glorious religious duty and enthusiastically anticipating their own eventual “martyrdom” in that cause.

But how does one explain the wildly pro-terrorist, anti-Jewish reaction of Western, non-Muslim people raised in traditionally Judeo-Christian societies like the United States, Great Britain and Western Europe?

Consider that shortly after Hamas’ appalling mass torture-murder spree:

* At New York’s Cornell University, 21-year-old Patrick Dai, posting on social media using the pseudonym “jew jenocide,” threatened to “stab” and “slit the throat” of Jewish males on campus, to rape and throw off a cliff Jewish females, and behead Jewish babies in front of their parents, according to court papers. He also threatened to “bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig jews.” Also at Cornell, Professor Russell Rickford praised the mass terror attack at a pro-Hamas rally. “It was exhilarating, it was exhilarating, it was energizing,” he insisted, as the crowd chanted “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a popular phrase meaning the total annihilation of Israel.

Netanyahu Signals Affinity for Zelensky as Israel’s Ties With Russia Worsen

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israel intends to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a visit to show solidarity in response to the Hamas terrorist attack last month despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s careful management of ties with Russia.

“If President Zelensky comes, he will be welcomed with open arms,” an unnamed Israeli official told the Times of Israel.

Zelensky had planned to arrive in Israel on Monday, according to reports, which would have positioned him to mark the passage of a month since the unprecedented rampage that ignited a major war in Gaza. The visit was canceled after his plans leaked, but points in any case to the worsening relationship between Israel and Russia.

“It’s kind of an extension of this rhetorical signaling … to the Russians that [they should] measure your support to the Palestinians or those who are supporting Palestinians,” former Estonian diplomat Peeter Raudsik, who specialized in Middle East issues at the Estonian mission to the United Nations from 2019 to 2022, told the Washington Examiner.

House Censures Rep. Rashida Tlaib Over Defense of Hamas, Calls To Destroy Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House of Representatives voted Tuesday night to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for defending Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack against Israel as “resistance” and calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.

Tlaib is the 26th member of Congress to be censured by the House in the legislative body’s history.

The censure vote, initially scheduled for Wednesday, was apparently moved up after Rep. Rich McCormick’s (R-Ga.) office – the congressman who introduced the resolution – received death threats.

“I take the safety of my team seriously. I am temporarily closing my physical district office location in Cumming, GA due to serious threats of violence against my staff. These threats have been reported to Capitol Police and will be investigated fully,” McCormick said in an X post.

McCormick’s resolution passed in a 234-188 vote, with four members voting present. (Read more from “House Censures Rep. Rashida Tlaib Over Defense of Hamas, Calls To Destroy Israel” HERE)

Biden Urges Netanyahu To Agree to 3-Day Fighting Pause To Help Hostage Releases: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden on Monday urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to commit to a three-day pause in the fighting in Gaza to help secure the release of some of the hostages held by Hamas, according to a report.

Biden’s comments in his emergency phone call with Netanyahu came as a proposal has been discussed between the US, Israel and Qatar in which Hamas would purportedly agree to release 10-15 hostages during such a pause, an American official told Axios.

Over the three days, Hamas would supposedly verify the identities of all the hostages the terrorist group is holding and release a full list of the captives, according to the report.

However, US and Israeli officials told the outlet that Netanyahu is reluctant to strike such a deal because he does not believe Hamas will hold up its end of the bargain.

His reservations stem from the 2014 Israel-Hamas war, when the terrorists attacked a group of Israeli soldiers, kidnapped one of them and killed several others during a humanitarian pause, the Israeli official told Axios.

New Tech Has Spooky Ability To Detect Future Heart Attack, Study Shows

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new study found that artificial intelligence could be used to help detect risk signs and possibly even prevent sudden cardiac death.

“When the data is fulsome and accurate and has a large enough sample size, AI will be able to identify patterns and correlations that humans might struggle to see, especially when they require two or more factors or have seemingly contrarian conclusions,” Phil Siegel, the founder of the Center for Advanced Preparedness and Threat Response Simulation, told Fox News Digital.

Siegel’s comments come after the results of preliminary research by the American Health Association found that AI was able to identify people who were at more than a 90% risk of sudden death, according to a report on the study in Medical Xpress.

According to the report, researchers analyzed medical information with AI by using registries and databases of 25,000 people from Paris and Seattle who had died from sudden cardiac arrest and 70,000 more people from the general population, matching the two groups by age, sex and residential area.

The AI then analyzed the data gathered with personalized health factors to identify people at “very high risk of sudden cardiac death.” In addition, researchers created personalize risk equations for individuals by plugging in data for treatment of high blood pressure, history of heart disease and behavior disorders such as alcohol abuse.

Top Hunter Biden Prosecutor Confirms Key Detail of IRS Whistleblower Testimony, Jim Jordan Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, special counsel in the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation, confirmed a key allegation made by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said Tuesday.

Weiss testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and said he requested special attorney authority under section 515 in the spring of 2022, Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan told reporters. Weiss was not given the special attorney authority and did not have special attorney authority before his special counsel appointment in August, Jordan said.

“When he was specifically asked, did you ever request special attorney authority under Section 515, Mr. Weiss’s response was yes, in the spring of 2022. So that that goes to the heart of the matter,” Jordan stated.

“So to me, that’s the key takeaway. He won’t answer a lot of questions. But that’s the key takeaway, because this whole deposition was about the changing story we got from DOJ, regarding the authority that he had,” he continued.

Woman Dies After Taking Popular Weight Loss Drug To Shed Pounds for Daughter’s Wedding

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Australian woman trying to lose weight before her daughter’s wedding died from a side effect of a popular weight loss injection, 9Now reported Sunday.

Trish Webster, 56, was prescribed Ozempic — a diabetes drug that also causes weight loss — which she had been taking for five months at the time of her death. The woman then reportedly took another weight loss injection, Saxenda, losing a total of 35 pounds, according to 9Now.

Webster felt constantly ill throughout this period, according to her husband, Roy, who found her unresponsive on Jan. 16, the outlet reported.

“She had a little bit of brown stuff coming out of her mouth and I realized she wasn’t breathing, and started doing CPR,” Roy told 9Now. “It was just pouring out and I turned her onto the side because she couldn’t breathe.”

Webster’s death certificate cites an acute gastrointestinal illness as the cause, and Roy suspects the weight loss drugs played a role in his wife’s sudden death, per 9Now. (Read more from “Woman Dies After Taking Popular Weight Loss Drug To Shed Pounds for Daughter’s Wedding” HERE)

These Boots Are Made for Lying: Nikki Haley Attacks Ron DeSantis for Lying About Anti-Fracking Position

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s (R) campaign showcased an ad ahead of the third Republican primary debate claiming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) “lied” about his position on fracking.

The ad highlighted a key exchange between Haley and DeSantis from the second GOP primary debate.

“What you don’t need is a president who is against energy independence. Ron DeSantis is against fracking. He’s against drilling. He’s been against… You did it,” Haley said at the time.

“He always talks about what happens on day one. You better watch out because what happens on day two is when you’re in trouble; day two in Florida, you banned fracking, you banned offshore drilling,” she continued.

“That is not true,” DeSantis said, denying the claims by saying Florida voters chose a constitutional amendment that banned offshore drilling.
