Belgian public broadcaster VRT aired a segment two months ago in which its presenters smashed statues of Jesus and Mary live. The scene was part of a so-called “rage room” meant to vent frustrations. Other smashed items included crockery and a computer screen. The three hosts were Eva De Roo, Dries Lenaerts and Sam De Bruyn. This week, Colm Flynn (EWTN) asked them whether they would do the same to symbols of Islam or Judaism. They said they would not (video below). Sam De Bruyn acknowledged that some people might feel offended, but argued that it is not a major issue in Belgium, certainly not for his audience. After public backlash, VRT issued an apology on March 24: “Eva and Dries offer their apologies. The video was intended as a humorous piece, and they underestimated how sensitive religious symbols can be. They understand that this was offensive to some people and would make different choices today.” However, there will be no serious consequences. Flemish Minister for Media Cieltje …More
Trump, Who Calls Mail-in Voting ‘Cheating,’ Just Voted by Mail President Trump has long fixated on mail-in voting to bolster his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. But he recently used the method in a Florida special election. nytimes.com/…3/24/us/politics/trump-mail-in- … March 24, 2026 President Trump, who has long railed against mail-in voting — including on Monday, when he called it “mail-in-cheating” — used the method himself in a Florida special election scheduled to take place on Tuesday. According to voter records on the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections website, Mr. Trump voted by mail in Palm Beach County, home to his Mar-a-Lago Club. Records show he has been registered to vote there since 2019 — and that he mailed his ballot at least one other time, in 2020. The website noted that Mr. Trump’s voter status was “by mail ballot” and that it had been counted in the special election that will determine whether Democrat Emily Gregory or Republican Jon Maples …More
When A Pope Goes to War. (Part I) - Gerard M Nadal facebook.com/gerard.nadalphd (For those who don't use Facebook, here is the article (below) When A Pope Goes to War. (Part I) It is good that the Catholic Church recognizes war as an evil to be avoided, and has instruction in the Catechism about what conditions constitute a Just War (Upper Case), which, when taken seriously, adds such gravity that the conflict can't be dismissed lightly as being just war (lower case). When a pope weighs in on a particular war, it is good for him to call the Church to prayer for a quick and lasting resolution. And if that's all he does, he has done well. But if he goes further, if he begins to weigh in on the rightness or wrongness of the conflict, if he begins to castigate one or the other party in a pretty consistent manner, he begins to venture onto thin ice. When it gets to the point where he ignores the long track record the aggressor's evils and provocations, when he begins to comment on which …More
Women who take public transport go out armed, with knives, with pepper spray, because they feel obliged to defend themselves nowadays." Jade recounts the daily hell of women in Nantes, France. She said many women are forced to simply drive cars or take an Uber. "Just a month ago, I was leaving the cinema in my car and five men tried to stop me." She then describes how the became involved a high-stakes car chase with the men that she barely escaped. "I got the fright of my life. I’m a bit shaky when I talk about it because it traumatized me. I thought, what’s the next step? I no longer take public transport, I no longer walk alone in the street. And now, even in my car, I’m still at risk of being mugged." Nantes is run by a clique of socialists and the left.
Come on! The whole mess didn't start in 1979 but in 1953 already, with the CIA and MI6-orchestrated operation that toppled Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. As you sow, so shall you reap.
POLISH AIRPORT RENAMED AFTER THE BEATIFIED ULMA FAMILY In a gesture of honoring the noble martyrdom of the Blessed Ulma family, the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport in Poland was renamed after them. Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, presided over the Holy Mass held in their honor, which was also attended by Polish President Andrzej Duda. The martyrs’ relics were placed in St. John Paul II chapel at the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport, and their painting was blessed by Cardinal Semeraro. The Ulma family members were killed by the Nazi soldiers for providing refuge to Jews on 24 March 1944. SWNews
03/24/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. It’s madness to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results—this famous quote is attributed to Albert Einstein. March 1, 2026 Another “success” for the U.S. The day before, it was the U.S. military base in Erbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan. 45,000 soldiers. Today—proof of Trump’s political genius. We will eliminate the Iranian leadership and help the Iranian people overthrow the regime. They have killed, but they have not overthrown the regime. We will destroy Iran’s navy, air force, and air defense, as well as all missile launchers. And that has proven to be a pipe dream. Then the pressure must be ramped up even further—we will send in a landing force. Just as Einstein predicted. What would such an invasion look like? A Sunday article on presstv.ir examined the feasibility of such a plan. Why boots on Iranian soil would become strategic catastrophe for US? As the American-Israeli aggression against Iran enters its …
I would suggest to watch the people I posted and what they are saying about this. It's a suicide mission. They will explain why. They are mostly Ex Military and they know what they are talking about. What a mess rump made around the world. All because of his pride and believing his own lies. Now the world sees we are weak and not as great as he boasted. GOD will bring down the pride.

They will get so frustrated and angry they will use nuclear on a defenseless country who never had, doesn't have nor even cared to have nuclear weapons. trump thought them weak. That was his first mistake. Not knowing a thing about the country except they had oil he wanted to STEAL!

March 24 - Saint Gabriel One of the Seven Spirits who stand before the throne of God, Saint Gabriel is especially dear to us as the Angel of the Incarnation. In the Old Testament he was sent to Daniel to announce the return of the Jews from captivity. In the Hebrew tradition Gabriel was the guardian of the celestial treasury. He is said to have foretold the birth of Samson, and also to have announced to Joachim the birth of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. But the New Testament plainly declares that Gabriel was sent to the high priest Zacharias to make known to him the approaching birth of Saint John the Baptist; and six months later (on the authority of the same Inspired Word) “the Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and she conceived of the Holy Ghost.” Gabriel is supposed by some to have been the guardian angel of the Mother of God. Spirit of might! O Gabriel, display Thy matchless power against our ancient foes; Visit those sacred temples where we pray; ‘Twas at thy potent word those …More
