Why The FBI’s Assault On Catholics Threatens All Christians

Published

on

Betrayal. If I could sum it all up in one word, it would have to be “betrayal.” 

“This is what being stabbed in the back feels like,” I thought to myself on that winter day when I first laid eyes on the FBI’s anti-Catholic “Richmond memo.”

My reaction was predictable. I am Catholic, and I thought it was appalling, plain and simple. 

Of all the groups our top federal law enforcement agency would write an 11-page document targeting, they picked us. With all of the crime going on in the country, especially in the last few years, the FBI decided we Catholics were the problem.   

“Radical-traditionalist,” I thought, trying to make sense of the term the FBI used more than 40 times throughout the memo. It was certainly not a term I had ever heard before in the counterterrorism space. 

Who is a “radical-traditionalist Catholic?” (Let’s call them “RTC” for short.) 

I’m friends with people who love the Latin Mass. I attended a traditional school where I learned Latin from fifth grade through high school. 

Are they RTCs? Am I?  

As these questions raced through my head, I thought back to another watershed moment in my life — the day I decided as a 27-year-old to put my “professional career” path behind me and enlist in the U.S. Air Force. I also remembered the day I applied to the FBI, several years later, eventually becoming an agent.  

The memo was a punch right in the gut. The American

A Man Killed Four Cops And Broke ‘Gun Control’ Laws, But Media Aren’t Invested In The Story For Some Reason

Published

on

A white man shot black law enforcement officers this week, ultimately killing four of them and wounding four more, and he did it as they were attempting to arrest him for breaking “gun control” laws. Where are all the stories about “white supremacy” and “assault weapons bans”?

Wait, never mind. The suspect is black and all four victims are white. Nothing to see here, after all!

It’s interesting how that works. Just shy of four years ago, our national news media and Democrats in general declared it time for a “racial reckoning” because one erratic fentanyl addict died of a heart attack in custody after a cop attempted to wrestle him under control. We haven’t stopped hearing about it since. But on Monday, Terry Clark Hughes Jr., 39, under warrant for illegal firearm possession and evading arrest, allegedly greeted police arriving to take him into custody by raining rounds of bullets on them using his rifle from the second story of a nondescript suburban home.

Hughes was killed in the shootout, but so were officers Sam Poloche, Alden Elliot, Joshua Eyer, and Thomas Weeks. Did I mention they were simply trying to arrest Hughes for illegally owning a gun, a breach of laws I’m promised by the media are vital to the safety of every man, woman, and child in America?

Without being too blunt here: It’s because Hughes is BLACK.

Not even a month ago, the media had us on the verge of Floyd 2.0 after a 26-year-old man

Left-Wing Dark Money Groups Are Bankrolling Anti-Israel Demonstrations

Published

on

Left-wing dark money networks are funding the outbreak of anti-Israel protests spreading at college campuses across the country.

Last week, Fox News reported the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), “a national organization affiliated with around 200 independent chapters” including Columbia University, raked in “a six-figure donation from a nonprofit bankrolled by the George Soros network.”

According to Influence Watch, the group orchestrates student activism on university campuses, accuses Israel of committing genocide, and compares Palestinians to black Americans under the Jim Crow era.

“In addition to Columbia, NSJP has been protesting and setting up encampments at other universities across the country, including UCLA and USC in California and at the University of Texas in Austin, where over 50 people were arrested this week,” Fox News reported.

The University of Texas said in a statement Tuesday that 45 of the 79 people arrested on the school’s Austin campus Monday “had no affiliation with UT Austin.”

“These numbers validate our concern that much of the disruption on campus over the past week has been orchestrated by people from outside the University, including groups with ties to escalating protests at other universities around the country,” the university said.

The New York Post reported Tuesday that police have arrested more than 1,000 demonstrators across more than 25 U.S. campuses. At Columbia University in Manhattan, which became the epicenter of anti-Israeli encampments when school leadership testified about antisemitism to Congress, police arrested nearly 300 protestors Tuesday night.

According to Fox News,

Commission Plans Biden-Trump Debates To Begin After Voting Has Already Started

Published

on

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are scheduled to have their first presidential debate after election officials have started mailing absentee ballots to voters in some states and after early voting has opened in Pennsylvania.

Biden recently committed while on Sirius XM’s “The Howard Stern Show” that he would be “happy to debate” the former president, amid skepticism the gaffe- and confusion-prone incumbent would not go head-to-head with Trump. Trump responded via Truth Social that he was ready to debate “ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE.”

Trump campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles had previously called on the commission to move up the debates “to ensure more Americans have a full chance to see the candidates before they start voting.” The campaign also argued for “adding more debates in addition to those on the currently proposed schedule.”

But the Commission on Presidential Debates told Fox News on Tuesday it would continue with its original schedule that was released last November.

“The CPD’s criteria […] will be applied in early September; afterward, the Commission will extend debate invitations to qualifying candidates,” the commission told Fox News.

The first debate is scheduled for Sept. 16 at Texas State University, followed by an Oct. 1 debate in Petersburg, Virginia with a third debate scheduled for Oct. 9 in Salt Lake City.

But states like Delaware and North Carolina send absentee/mail ballots out 60 days before the election, which means those ballots will go out before the first scheduled debate, which
