Bishops Vote To Prohibit Trans Surgeries And Hormone Treatment In Catholic Hospitals

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Catholic bishops voted to prohibit transgender surgeries and the use of cross-sex hormones in Catholic hospitals, in a show of solidarity with Catholic physicians and medical groups who have advocated for an end to the procedures for more than a decade.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) met Nov. 11-13 in Baltimore, Maryland, for their biannual plenary assembly, in which bishops, individuals, and organizations determine and discuss church policy. On Nov. 12, bishops overwhelmingly voted to approve updates to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs), including the prohibition of transgender surgical and hormonal manipulation.

The vote is significant, as more than one in seven patients are served in Catholic hospitals daily. Catholic health facilities serve patients in all 50 states, overseeing more than 600 hospitals and 1600 other health care facilities.

The Catholic Medical Association (CMA) has raised concerns over the dangers of transgender interventions for at least 20 years, with significantly increased attention over the past decade, said Dr. Tim Millea, CMA health care policy chairman.

In a 2016 publication, the CMA highlighted research conducted by Dr. Michelle Cretella, a CMA member and president of the American College of Pediatricians, who had specialized in adolescent mental and sexual health for years and witnessed the damage done by physicians experimenting on gender-confused youth. At the time, Cretella was supporting parent groups fighting for female- or male-only bathrooms and locker rooms in schools.

New Study Suggests Everyone Was Wrong About Where the Moon Came From

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .As the story goes, 4.5 billion years ago, the moon was born as a result of a giant Mars-sized object named Theia crashing into Earth.

This collision was responsible for more than just creating the moon — it also affected the shape, mass and composition of the Earth.

However, new research from the journal Science and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) suggests that this historic collision might not have been as accidental as it seems.

Scientists are reportedly just finding out that influential Theia might have been formed in the solar system right alongside Earth, meaning these two were once upon a time neighbors.

“The most convincing scenario is that most of the building blocks of Earth and Theia originated in the inner Solar System,” said Timo Hopp, a geoscientist and Lab Manager with the MPS and the Department of Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago, according to Universe Today.

Former Zelensky Spox: Ukraine Must Sign Peace Deal To Avoid Even Greater Losses

/1 Comment/in , /by

Things are very bad in Ukraine right now. The former spokeswoman for Ukraine’s clearly overmatched comedian leader says things could get a lot worse if Ukraine’s government walks away from peace this time.

“Every subsequent deal for Ukraine will only be worse — because we are losing. We are losing people, territory, and the economy,” Iuliia Mendel, press secretary for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from 2019 to 2021, wrote in an X post this weekend as negotiators went back and forth in marathon peace talks.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday told multiple news outlets that he was pleased with the “tremendous amount of progress” toward finalizing a U.S.-brokered peace deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war, but more needed to be done to get there.

As the Trump-hating BBC reported, Ukraine and its friends in Europe weren’t happy with previously leaked proposals, “seen as favouring Russia and welcomed by [Russian President] Vladimir Putin as ‘the basis’ for settlement.” Zelensky earlier said his bomb-battered country and his fellow citizens “might face a very difficult choice: either losing dignity, or risk losing a key partner” — President Donald Trump.

The Washington Post reported the leaked draft would force Ukraine to reduce its army and turn over land that Russia has not taken. That proposal also would prohibit NATO troops. U.S. officials said the draft has been updated, with Zelensky sounding more confident that “President Trump’s team is hearing us.” (Read more from “Former Zelensky Spox: Ukraine Must Sign Peace Deal To Avoid Even Greater Losses” HERE)

Kremlin Sinks Trump’s Hope of Peace Deal by Thanksgiving

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia has sunk Donald Trump’s hope that a peace deal in Ukraine can be achieved by Thanksgiving after the Kremlin said Europe’s counterproposal was not constructive and did not work for Moscow.

In a sign that both sides remain far apart, the Kremlin said that Europe’s demands for Ukraine would not be accepted by Vladimir Putin but said that an earlier proposal by the US seemed “quite acceptable to us”.

Trump claimed on Monday that progress was being made in peace talks in Geneva between US and Ukrainian officials. Washington and Kyiv said in a joint statement that they were working to narrow the gaps in the 28-point peace plan revealed by the US last week.

The US president had given Ukraine until Thanksgiving, this Thursday, to agree to the plan – but US officials later indicated the deadline could change.

Some EU leaders met to discuss Ukraine on the sidelines of an EU-African Union summit in Luanda on Monday, with others dialling in via video conference. (Read more from “Kremlin Sinks Trump’s Hope of Peace Deal by Thanksgiving” HERE)

Report: White House to Unveil Healthcare Framework to Lower Costs

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump White House is expected to unveil a healthcare policy framework that would lower costs and extend expiring Obamacare subsidies, according to reports.

MS NOW and Politico reported that the healthcare policy framework would include a two-year extension of the expiring enhanced premium tax credits (EPTC), or enhanced Obamacare subsidies, which would otherwise expire at the end of the year. The proposal could be unveiled as early as Monday.

A White House declined to confirm the details of the alleged plan to Politico, stating, “Until President Trump makes an announcement himself, any reporting about the administration’s healthcare positions is mere speculation.”

The plan would lower limits on income eligibility for the credits and set minimum premium payments, according to the reports. The proposed eligibility cap would set the subsidies to 700 percent of the federal poverty line; Republicans have complained that, with the current Obamacare enhanced subsidy scheme, wealthy Americans would benefit from the subsidies in what was meant to be a temporary, coronavirus-era benefit.

The White House plan would also urge Congress to fund cost-sharing reduction (CSR) plans, which Republicans pushed for in the Big Beautiful Bill, but were nixed after Senate Democrats objected to its inclusion in Trump’s landmark legislation, believing it violated rules on budgetary reconciliation.

Department of War Investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for ‘Seditious’ Video Urging Military to Disobey Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of War (DOW) has launched an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) that may lead to court-martial proceedings after “serious allegations of misconduct” were made against him.

Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy captain, has been facing accusations of “sedition” from President Donald Trump after participating in a video with other Democrats last week calling on military servicemembers and intelligence officials to “refuse illegal orders” from the administration.

In a statement posted to social media Monday, the DOW announced that it is aware of the severe accusations and has initiated a “thorough review” to determine further actions, which “may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures.”

“This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality,” the department stated. “Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.” (Read more from “Department of War Investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for ‘Seditious’ Video Urging Military to Disobey Trump” HERE)

DHS Rocked by Viral Claims After X Lists Account Location in Israel

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new transparency feature on X has sparked major political controversy after users circulated screenshots claiming the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s official account was listed as being based in Israel. The feature, which quietly appeared on the platform over the weekend, allows users to view the current or past location of an account by tapping the join-date field. While the tool was intended to expose foreign-operated influence accounts posing as Americans, the rollout instead created a wave of confusion and speculation.

Almost immediately, users began posting screen captures showing the DHS location field reading “Tel Aviv, Israel.” The images and videos spread rapidly across X and other platforms, intensifying criticism amid already heightened debate over U.S. support for Israel. Some posts also highlighted a surge of MAGA-branded accounts that appeared to originate from locations in Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa—supposedly undermining their authenticity.

Initially, DHS responded informally with a meme-like image, but quickly followed with a formal statement denying the claim. The agency insisted that its account had “only ever been run and operated from the United States.”

X leadership backed that explanation. Nikita Bier, the platform’s Head of Product, called the viral screenshots “fake news,” explaining that a subset of older accounts had been assigned inaccurate creation locations due to shifting IP ranges over the years.

Soon after the uproar, the feature briefly disappeared from the platform before returning with modified behavior. DHS’s account now displays “United States” as its location. However, it remains the only major government-linked account showing location data at all, raising new questions about the feature’s rollout and consistency.

X has said that inaccuracies will continue to be corrected over time, but has not offered a clear timeline for when the feature will be fully reliable.

Trump Fires Back at ‘Lowlifes’ as GOP Faces Fallout From MTG’s Sudden Exit

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump made a passionate post claiming that the Republican Party is “so UNITED” on Sunday night, amid internal divisions in the party over leadership, tariffs, and legislative priorities.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that the GOP has “never been so UNITED AS IT iS RIGHT NOW!”

“Other than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr.(Massie!), Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, and a couple of other ‘lowlifes,’ and other than the fact that many want the Election threatening Filibuster TERMINATED (the Dems will do it in the first minute of their first chance!), and some don’t, there is great spirit and cohesion,” Trump’s post read.

The president also claimed that the Republican Party is “MUCH BIGGER” than it was before he launched his first presidential campaign in 2015.

“Many Millions More Members!” Trump wrote. “We now have the Strongest Border EVER, Biggest Tax Cuts, the Best Economy, Highest Stock Market in USA History, and sooo much more.” (Read more from “Trump Fires Back at ‘Lowlifes’ as GOP Faces Fallout From MTG’s Sudden Exit” HERE)

Web Of Depraved Satanic Groups Brainwashed School Shooter – Only One Culprit Has Been Unmasked

/0 Comments/in , /by

Authorities linked a foreign Satanic group to a deadly Tennessee school shooting, but another online cult leader’s whereabouts are not publicly known nearly a year after taking credit for the bloodshed.

Georgian neo-Nazi “Maniac Murder Cult” leader Michail Chkhikvishvili pleaded guilty to federal charges on Monday after his propaganda incited violent plots such as the January Antioch High School shooting in Nashville, court records show. The deceased shooter’s online ramblings also point to a similar cult, “Totenation,” that went unnoticed despite an unidentified leader for the group claiming responsibility, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of archived webpages.

That figurehead, who appears to be an internet user going by “Liber of Love,” has also promoted pedophilic themes tied to Satanist terror networks that are a top FBI target in child exploitation cases.

Solomon Henderson, 17, fired ten shots in his school’s cafeteria on Jan. 22, killing one student and injuring another before fatally shooting himself. Law enforcement, media outlets and researchers found he was immersed in dark internet trends promoting hatred of humanity, occultism, child sex abuse and terrorism — traits that the Department of Justice (DOJ) associates with “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (NVEs).

Chkhikvishvili was arrested in Moldova in July 2024 for plotting violence against Jews in New York and extradited to the U.S. in May. The DOJ then revealed that Henderson cited Chkhikvishvili and his Europe-based group as inspiration after Chkhikvishvili spread materials encouraging school shootings.

Abducted Catholic Schoolchildren In Nigeria Escape Captivity

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fifty schoolchildren abducted from a Catholic school in north-central Nigeria escaped captivity and returned to their families, school authorities announced Sunday.

The students, aged 10 to 18, fled individually between Friday and Saturday after gunmen seized 303 people from St. Mary’s School in Niger state’s remote Papiri community, according to The Associated Press. A total of 253 students and 12 teachers remain in captivity, according to Most Rev. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Niger state and the school’s proprietor.

“We were able to ascertain this when we decided to contact and visit some parents,” Yohanna said in a statement.

Authorities have not disclosed where the captives are being held or how the 50 children managed to escape. No group has claimed responsibility for the Friday attack.

Pope Leo XIV called for the immediate release of the remaining hostages during a mass in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday. (Read more from “Abducted Catholic Schoolchildren In Nigeria Escape Captivity” HERE)
