Can You Honestly Believe This? Truly Outrageous!

Now Brian Williams of MessNBC is judging the honesty of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The left and media (nearly always in bed together) have no shame. Is it any wonder their credibility is at an all time low?

Anywhere else, Williams would be a goner. But in the slimy world of the liberal media, he thrives. 

And some people actually still watch this poseur and believe him.

Disgraceful!

A Worthy Choice But, What's Going On Here?

Here is a special message from www.catholicvote.org: Notre Dame has invited Pence. Passing on the custom of inviting the newly elected President, Notre Dame announced this morning they will honor Vice President Mike Pence at their 2017 Commencement. (The only other president not invited in the last 40 years was Bill Clinton.) Mike Pence is an honorable and worthy choice. But Notre Dame’s decision does raise some legitimate questions. As we noted last month: “If Obama was ok, why not Trump? Or would they have worried about a ‘circus’ had Hillary Clinton been elected?” Or would they have invited her Vice President instead? In 1960, Dwight Eisenhower would become the first of six presidents to speak at Notre Dame. In the years following World War II, Catholics were assimilating into American life and cementing their place in the middle class. The challenge then, as it had been in preceding decades, focused on proving that American Catholics could be reliable American citizens. The tradition of Notre Dame inviting the President may have been necessary during the aspirational Catholic era of the 1950’s and 60’s. But this tradition strikes us as a distraction from the real challenge facing Catholics today. Catholics no longer must prove we can be good citizens. On the contrary, the challenge before us is whether we can be good Catholics. The record speaks for itself. We as Catholics have failed our country in living out the demands of the Gospel. Catholics number nearly 70 million, and make up nearly 25% of the American electorate. Yet abortion remains legal, for any reason, during all nine months of pregnancy. Meanwhile so-called same-sex ‘marriage’ is the law of the land -- having been championed by Catholic legislators across the country including our country’s first Catholic vice president. Detractors once said we were too Catholic to be American. Perhaps the bigger problem today is that we are too ‘American’ to be Catholic.   Brian Burch, Catholic Vote

Biased? Well, You Can Make Up Your Own Mind!

By Any Measure, Tremendous Accomplishments!

Meat On St. Paddy's Friday? Here's Your Answer . . .

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., in accord with the Code of Canon Law (canon 87), has granted a dispensation to all Roman Catholics in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia from the obligation to abstain from meat on the Memorial of Saint Patrick – Friday, March 17th, 2017.

The United States Bishops prescribe as a minimal obligation that all persons who are fourteen years of age and older are bound to abstain from eating meat on the Fridays of Lent. This is a corporate gesture of penance observed by all the members of the Church in the United States.

In certain circumstances, such as the coincidence of Saint Patrick’s Day and a Friday of Lent, the Diocesan Bishop may grant such a dispensation from the observance of the corporate gesture of penance on a penitential day. However, if a Catholic makes the choice not to abstain from meat, then some other penance of choice is to be observed in honor of the passion and death of our Lord on the cross.

On Saint Patrick’s Day, the memory of this missionary apostle to Ireland recalls his preaching of the Faith and encouragement to live authentic Christian lives. Faithful throughout the Archdiocese may observe March 17, 2017 with another choice of penance rather than abstaining from meat.

Absolutely A New Low -- Even For THIS Group!

 President Trump honored the widow of fallen Navy SEAL Ryan Owens with a beautiful acknowledgment. Carryn Owens was given a standing ovation we won’t soon forget. The big problem with this amazing moment is that half of the room sat in defiance of President Trump BUT this wasn’t about the president! The Democrats are so blinded by their hatred for Trump that they sat emotionless refusing to honor the fallen. Wow! A low moment for these haters...

 We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy special operator, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens. Ryan died as he lived: a warrior, and a hero — battling against terrorism and securing our nation. I just spoke to General Mattis, who reconfirmed that, and I quote, “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.” Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity. For as the Bible teaches us, there is no greater act of love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country and for our freedom — we will never forget him.

The Moment That Galvanized A Nation!

What EVERYBODY'S Talking About RIGHT NOW!

Here are some highlights from last night's stellar address to Congress and the Nation delivered by President Donald J. Trump. This is The Speech that everybody's talking about today:

Tonight, as we mark the conclusion of our celebration of Black History Month, we are reminded of our Nation's path toward civil rights and the work that still remains. Recent threats targeting Jewish Community Centers and vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, as well as last week's shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a Nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms.

Each American generation passes the torch of truth, liberty and justice –- in an unbroken chain all the way down to the present.
That torch is now in our hands. And we will use it to light up the world. I am heretonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart.
A new chapter of American Greatness is now beginning.
A new national pride is sweeping across our Nation.
And a new surge of optimism is placing impossible dreams firmly within our grasp.
What we are witnessing today is the Renewal of the American Spirit.Our allies will find that America is once again ready to lead.

In 2016, the earth shifted beneath our feet. The rebellion started as a quiet protest, spoken by families of all colors and creeds -– families who just wanted a fair shot for their children, and a fair hearing for their concerns.
But then the quiet voices became a loud chorus -- as thousands of citizens now spoke out together, from cities small and large, all across our country.
Finally, the chorus became an earthquake – and the people turned out by the tens of millions, and they were all united by one very simple, but crucial demand, that America must put its own citizens first ... because only then, can we truly MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Remember when you were told that you could keep your doctor, and keep your plan?
We now know that all of those promises have been broken.
Obamacare is collapsing –- and we must act decisively to protect all Americans. Action is not a choice –- it is a necessity.

To any in Congress who do not believe we should enforce our laws, I would ask you this question: what would you say to the American family that loses their jobs, their income, or a loved one, because America refused to uphold its laws and defend its borders?
Our obligation is to serve, protect, and defend the citizens of the United States. We are also taking strong measures to protect our Nation from Radical Islamic Terrorism.

It is not compassionate, but reckless, to allow uncontrolled entry from places where proper vetting cannot occur. Those given the high honor of admission to the United States should support this country and love its people and its values.

The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, warned that the "abandonment of the protective policy by the American Government [will] produce want and ruin among our people."
Lincoln was right -- and it is time we heeded his words. I am not going to let America and its great companies and workers, be taken advantage of anymore.
Mandating every American to buy government-approved health insurance was never the right solution for America.

True love for our people requires us to find common ground, to advance the common good, and to cooperate on behalf of every American child who deserves a brighter future.

Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. Every problem can be solved. And every hurting family can find healing, and hope.
Our citizens deserve this, and so much more –- so why not join forces to finally get it done? On this and so many other things, Democrats and Republicans should get together and unite for the good of our country, and for the good of the American people.

I am calling upon Members of both parties to pass an education bill that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of African-American and Latino children. These families should be free to choose the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school that is right for them.

Police and sheriffs are members of our community. They are friends and neighbors, they are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters – and they leave behind loved ones every day who worry whether or not they'll come home safe and sound.
We must support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.
And we must support the victims of crime.

To those allies who wonder what kind of friend America will be, look no further than the heroes who wear our uniform.

We expect our partners, whether in NATO, in the Middle East, or the Pacific –- to take a direct and meaningful role in both strategic and military operations, and pay their fair share of the cost.

We will respect historic institutions, but we will also respect the sovereign rights of nations.

This is our vision. This is our mission.
But we can only get there together.
We are one people, with one destiny.
We all bleed the same blood.
We all salute the same flag.
And we are all made by the same God.

The time for small thinking is over. The time for trivial fights is behind us.
We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts.
The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls.
And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action.

Our Aspirations, Our Future And Our Vision

“From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears –- inspired by the future, not bound by the failures of the past –- and guided by our vision, not blinded by our doubts.”

                   - President Donald J. Trump

A Real Mess? Oh, You Bet It Is!

• Ninety-four million Americans are out of the labor force.

• Over 43 million people are now living in poverty, and over 43 million Americans are on food stamps.

• More than 1 in 5 people in their prime working years are not working.

• We have the worst financial recovery in 65 years.

• In the last 8 years, the past Administration has put on more new debt than nearly all other Presidents combined.

• We've lost more than one-fourth of our manufacturing jobs since NAFTA was approved, and we've lost 60,000 factories since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.

• Our trade deficit in goods with the world last year was nearly $800 billion dollars.

• And overseas, we have inherited a series of tragic foreign policy disasters.

Please note: ALL of these facts were highlighted in President Donald J. Trump's speech last night. In fact, the above is taken directly from the speech. There's much work to be done, America!
