GOP Bill to Ban Insider Trading in Congress …

GOP Bill to Ban Insider Trading in Congress Advances Without Support from a Single Democrat - Slay News

A Republican-led effort to crack down on insider trading in Congress advanced out of committee this week, even as every single House Democrat withheld support for the measure.
The House Administration Committee voted to advance the
Stop Insider Trading Act, sponsored by Bryan Steil (R-WI), sending the legislation to the full House for consideration.
If enacted, the bill would prohibit members of Congress from buying individual stocks while in office and require lawmakers to provide notice seven to fourteen days before selling securities.
Members would still be permitted to invest in index funds and mutual funds and to reinvest dividends from assets they already own.
Democrats Push for Full Divestment
Democrats on the committee argued the proposal does not go far enough, pressing instead for a total trading ban that would require lawmakers to fully divest their assets before taking office.
During the two-hour markup, Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY), the committee’s ranking member, introduced …

Judge Napolitano - Judging Freedom Guest Max Blumenthal

Video is 3 days old. I didn't want to post this sort of thing anymore. But when you see people falling for lies it has to be done. For those who want the truth should listen to exactly what is going on. I am not asking anyone to believe anything. But the most intelligent thing a person can do for themselves is to listen to as many sources as possible.
" Then" make an intelligent decision.
I am leaving another video to listen to because I don't want to make too many posts about this sort of thing. Sorry, I don't want to waste my time on this. I said I would give a list to those I listen to and haven't. I will try harder to do it soon.

When it comes to your parents, don’t take inventory based on what everyone else is doing.
Don’t think:
“Why should I give if my siblings don’t?”
“Why should I help if no one else even tries?”
Caring for your mom and dad matters whether anyone else shows up or not.
And it’s not always about money.
Not everything in life has a price tag.
Sometimes it’s just being there.
A morning coffee together.
Lunch on a Tuesday.
Helping with small things around the house.
Noticing what they need before they have to ask.
Simple questions like:
“What can I pick up for you?”
“What do you need?”
“How are you feeling today?”
But most of us reach for excuses:
“I don’t have the money.”
“They get Social Security — they’ll be fine.”
“I’m not the only child.”
“I’m busy.”
“Work is crazy right now.”
“It’s too far / too late / too inconvenient.”
The painful irony?
When parents are gone, suddenly the money appears.
Suddenly there’s time.
Work isn’t that urgent anymore.
The drive doesn’t feel that far. …More

There is a commercial from Visiting Angels which shows a wife being happy now that she can do other things besides taking care of her husband. Very sad.

End Tribalism in Politics

RFK Jr. has revealed why he stopped getting the flu shot. “I was getting a flu shot every year.” “I stopped in 2005 when I began looking at the side effects.” “I was preparing litigation against some of the flu shots.” “One of the injuries that was listed on a lot of them was spasmodic dysphonia, which is an injury I have to my voice.” “That turns out to be a vaccine injury.” “That’s why my voice is so screwed up.” “Do I know that it was caused by my annual flu shot? I have no idea.” “It’s a potential culprit that I cannot rule out.” “We should have that data, but we don't.”

"Nostalgic" Proposals on Liturgy Not Helpful – Cardinal Spengler

Asked about the Mass in the Roman rite, Cardinal Jaime Spengler of Porto Alegre, Brazil, said that “the river doesn’t flow backwards.” He spoke with VidaNuevaDigital.com on January 16. The cardinal is president of the bishops’ conferences of Brazil and Latin America (CELAM).
His main statement echoes the historically weak ideas promoted by Cardinal Roche at the consistory on January 7-8.
Cardinal Spengler said, “Throughout history, the liturgy has undergone various reforms. The Second Vatican Council represents an enormous effort to recover fundamental elements of Catholic liturgical celebration. Nostalgic proposals do not help to promote what the Council identified as essential for the liturgy.”
Furthermore, Cardinal Spengler offered a pointless definition of the Eucharist: “Liturgy cannot be understood simply as an expression of religious practice; above all, it is a vigorous expression of a lived experience of faith, both personal and communal - an experience of encounter with …More

The bishops’ conferences of Brazil and Latin America (CELAM) interpret Vatican Council II with an irrational and not rational premise. New books on Vatican Council II must not be given the imprimatur unless the Council is interpreted rationally and so ethically.

Consistory Done Like Middle School - Leo XIV Is Responsible

Journalists Raymond Arroyo and Robert Royal, and canon lawyer and priest Gerald Murray of New York talked on January 16 about the consistory of January 7-8. A short sequence, video below.
Robert Royal commenting on Cardinal Grech’s contribution on synod:
I think you hear that and you say, what in God’s name can that possibly mean? This is the gobbledygook we’ve been listening to for years about synodality and all this confusion. I mean, one of the things I’ve heard from sources is that many of these cardinals have said, "Look, we’re just confused about this. We’re tired of going over the same things again and again." These pronouncements keep coming out.
When I read Cardinal Grech, I said to myself: This guy knows they haven’t gotten anything substantial done. You can try to preserve the illusion that there’s somehow a dynamic age of the Spirit underway, but it’s about to die.
Raymond Arroyo:
Well, he says there are good fruits here. He says fruits are blooming all over the place. …More

Virgen de Zapopan - January 18th, 2026 | No Greater Delight
No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her. Mary's greatness is beyond words. 0:00 Feasts of Mary Today 03:48 The Imitation of Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree
