James Comer:"there have been so many investigations of President Trump. I don't feel like we need to spend a whole lot of time investigating President Trump". When Comer told Fox TV'sSean Hannity, "You look at how Donald Trump is treated. He had documents in one location behind a locked door," Florida Democratic congressmanJared Moskowitzaired previously publicly widely distributed footage of large quantities boxes of classified and confidential documents inMar-a-Lagowere haphazardly stored in various places including an unlocked bathroom and on a theater stage.In March 2023, Comer confirmed that he had ended a House investigation into Trump's financial dealings, in which Trump's former accounting company,Mazars USA, had been turning over documents as part of a court-supervised settlement.

Archbishop Carlos Alberto Breis Pereira, 60, of Maceió, Brazil, has warned that celebrating or attending the Mass in the Roman rite outside of his one authorized location will result in excommunication. The diocesan note was issued on February 11 on FaceBook.com (below). It reads: “The Archdiocese of Maceió informs the faithful who reside within its jurisdiction that, if they wish to participate in the so-called ‘Tridentine Masses’ or in those celebrated according to the Roman Missal of Saint Pius V, promulgated by Pope Saint Pius V in 1570, in the Latin language, the only authorized place is the Chapel of Saint Vincent de Paul, at the Santa Casa de Misericórdia of Maceió. We emphasize that this liturgy is always celebrated on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. by the Reverend Father Cícero Lenisvaldo Miranda da Silva, of the Archdiocesan clergy. Such permission was authorized by the Archbishop of Maceió, Dom Carlos Alberto Breis Pereira, OFM, with the approval of the Holy See. This liturgy is …More
Hey, Carlos Alberto and the other gay in white, Paul has something to say to you: "Miror quod sic tam cito transferimini ab eo qui vos vocavit in gratiam Christi in aliud Evangelium :7quod non est aliud, nisi sunt aliqui qui vos conturbant, et volunt convertere Evangelium Christi.8Sed licet nos aut angelus de caelo evangelizet vobis praeterquam quod evangelizavimus vobis, anathema sit.9Sicut praediximus, et nunc iterum dico : si quis vobis evangelizaverit praeter id quod accepistis, anathema sit."
"9. Helvidius will answer, What you say, is in my opinion mere trifling. Your arguments are so much waste of time, and the discussion shows more subtlety than truth. Why could not Scripture say, as it said of Thamar and Judah, Genesis 38:26 'And he took his wife, and knew her again no more'? Could not Matthew find words to express his meaning? 'He knew her not,' he says, 'until she brought forth a son.' He did then, after her delivery, know her, whom he had refrained from knowing until she was delivered.”
[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; Stridon, Roman Empire/Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church] “5. This, however, is a point which will find its proper place further on. We must now hasten to other matters. The passage for discussion now is, And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife and knew her not till she had brought forth a son, and he called his name Jesus. Here, first of all, it is quite needless for our opponent to show so elaborately that the word know has reference to coition, rather than to intellectual apprehension: as though anyone denied it, or any person in his senses could ever imagine the folly which Helvidius takes pains to refute. Then he would teach us that the adverb till implies a fixed and definite time, and when that is fulfilled, he says the event takes place which previously did not take place, as in the case before us, and knew her not …More
Judge: IRS broke law ‘approximately 42,695 times’ in giving DHS data Dr. Jae Francis Immigration A federal judge has found that the Internal Revenue Service violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued the ruling Thursday as part of ongoing litigation over a data-sharing arrangement between the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. Federal law requires that before the IRS hands over a taxpayer’s address, a requesting agency must first provide the IRS with the name and address of the person it’s looking for. The requirement exists to ensure that the government can access confidential tax records only for individuals it has already specifically identified. The ruling finds that DHS did not follow this law. The judge …More
Leo XIV is considering appointing Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, the Substitute for General Affairs, as Nuncio to Italy, reports Nico Spuntoni on IlGiornale.it (26 February). "The number two in the Secretariat of State has already declined two 'exit' solutions proposed by Leo XIV, but he might consider the post in Villa Giorgina, which would keep him in contention for a future cardinalate." The current Nuncio to Italy, Monsignor Petar Rajic, could become prefect of the papal household. This post, previously held by Archbishop Georg Gänswein, has been vacant for three years. Damian Thompson refers to Archbishop Peña Parra as "Francis’s Machiavellian chief of staff". He had admitted to operating with false invoices during the infamous London property deal and thus to misleading the court. Accusations of Homosexuality In July 2019, Archbishop Carlo Viganò accused Monsignor Peña Parra of being a homosexual, who had seduced two underage men in September 1990, and that he had seen a dossier …More

LOOK well at this cross on ANTIPOPE bergoglio that he wore to the delight of the freemasons for their reasons that can be discerned regarding bergoglio and why he and the freemasons conveyed the propaganda inversions that bergoglio was so called a "simple humble man of the poor". ANTIPOPE bergoglio proved himself to be a Formal Heretic and so much more that any observable servant of satan would appreciate . --- ANTIPOPE bergoglio did not choose a new cross, but kept the one he had as Archbishop, seems to reveal that he does not consider the dignity of a Pope to be essentially higher than that of a Bishop. This also is confirmed by his insistence on being called Bishop of Rome, instead of Pope. --- In TRUTH bergoglio proved himself to be the opposite of a humble servant of JESUS CHRIST as bergoglio headed a counterfeit "synodal church" as he worked toward destroying the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH instituted by our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. ANTIPOPE bergoglio revealed …More
Red Pill Dispenser@redpilldispensr Frank Zappa was decades ahead of his time. He said this in 1981: "Schools train people to be ignorant. They give you the equipment that you need to be a functional ignoramus." "They prepare you to be a usable victim for a military industrial complex that needs manpower." "As long as you're just smart enough to do a job, and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you're going to be alright." "Schools mechanically and very specifically try and breed out any hint of creative thought in the kids that are coming up."

U.S. gold medalist Alysa Liu and her Chinese family have a story of dissent, standing up for the Uyghurs, and being harassed by CCP spies. by Massimo Introvigne Liu after her Olympic triumph. Credits. The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics have concluded, but the most unusual story from these Games is not about a disputed score, a judging scandal, or a world record. It revolves around a young American athlete who won gold while a man once hired by the Chinese Communist Party to spy on her family was being prosecuted back home in the United States. Alysa Liu, now 20, has always skated with incredible lightness, but few spectators understood the burden she carried off the ice. Long before she became the United States’ newest Olympic champion, she was the daughter of a Chinese dissident who fled his country after the Tiananmen Square massacre. Before stepping onto the podium in Milan, she had been watched—not by judges or fans—but by agents acting on behalf of the Chinese state. Her story …
