Thus the Jews set out to subvert the narrative known as Christianity throughout the history of the Holy Roman Empire and successor states like the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Sigmund Freud is a good example of the typical Jew, who subverts every narrative but his own. No one takes Freud seriously anymore because he was exposed as a typical Jew when the story of his incestuous relationship with his sister-in-law provided the interpretive key which unlocked his hitherto mysterious Oedipus Complex, which maintained that “all men” wanted to sleep with their mothers or sisters…

“They sustain the State like an executioner’s rope… Fatherland, religion and faith are words void of meaning for those that close within their chest a shield instead of a heart… They have as a profession usury, as a privilege impunity for theft or rather the right to bankruptcy.” Here, some will say to us, is the reason for the antipathy to which the Jews provoke all, here is the origin of antisemitism, the latent volcano that threatens to erupt in open and general revolt against their auspicious dominion.

Week, Macbeth is the greatest parable ever written for an apostate people mired in the culture of death. So much so, I am here proposing that as preparation of the Catholic Flock for Good Friday, the Catholic Church should mandate attendance at Macbeth as a religious obligation for the beginning of Holy Week. Rooted securely between Palm Sunday and Fig Tuesday, Macbeth Monday would provide indispensable moral medicine. And besides, between the triumphant waving of palm branches on Sunday and the cursing of the fig tree on Tuesday, a mobile forest on Monday would seem eminently suitable…

This Anglo-Protestant culture has been “central to American identity for three centuries,”[i] and Huntington sees no reason why it should not serve as the template for another three centuries, as long as Americans “recommit themselves to the Anglo-Protestant culture, traditions, and values that for three and a half centuries have been embraced by Americans of all races, ethnicities, and religions and that have been the source of their liberty, unity, power, prosperity, and moral leadership as a force for good in the world.”

The Putin government, with characteristic Russian legal punctiliousness, took note of Malyuk’s statement, sent notes to Zelenski’s government through the government of Belarus and has already given Zelenski an ultimatum to extradite those responsible for the terrorist attacks committed by Ukraine against Russia. This document did not provide any names, except that of General Malyuk. It was sent by Sergei Lavrov, the brilliant Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Biden Administration thus adds a new complication to the catastrophic collapse of its plans in Ukraine since, by law of the U.S. Congress, it is forbidden to give support to any state involved in terrorist activities (despite their hypocritical stance, as far as they are concerned). Russia will analyze and make use of all its options to clarify the attacks.

Constantius, in case you didn’t know, was the Roman emperor at the time, a fact that Bennett fails to explore throughout his book. The bad bishop, it turns out even in the examples that he gives, have one thing in common, and that is weakness when confronted by imperial power. The bishop is not the main actor in this story; the prince is.

Computer role-playing games started out in the 1980s as board-based role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons and were later transferred on computers, the human game master being replaced with AI. The problem with them is that their game systems are largely based on sword-and-sorcery fantasy genre, which includes a lot of use of magic and worship of pagan deities, who in real life would be evil spirits.

I’ve never intentionally followed celebrity gossip. I’m more of a Culture Wars reader than a People Magazine reader. However, there has always seemed to be some sort of public discussion around Britney Spears popping up every so often since the late 1990s. Did you hear Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake broke up? Did you hear Britney Spears got married and divorced in Vegas? She got married and divorced again! Did you see the pictures of Britney Spears with her shaved head? Have you seen the “Leave Britney alone” video? Her high-profile conservatorship and the “#FreeBritney” movement came and went. Perhaps with the exception of fortunate homeschooled kids who were protected from mainstream pop culture, most of my fellow Millennials remember these moments…

This all needed a large labor force and waves of immigrants responded. Initially, the workers were mostly German and Irish. But the new arrivals found the stockyard’s working conditions horrid. Attempts were made to organize the laborers. On May 1, 1886, workers at the stockyards joined a nationwide strike for an eight-hour workday…

The change from semitic vengeance to social engineering as the basis for America’s policy during the immediate post war period got imposed on the German people by John J. McCloy, who would also impose social engineering in the form of ethnic cleansing on Catholic ethnic neighborhoods in the United States during the period immediately following his tenure as High Commissioner in Germany. As head of the Ford Foundation in the 1960s, McCloy would employ Black ministers like Leon Sullivan to recruit Black sharecroppers from North and South Carolina to drive Catholics out of ethnic neighborhoods in Philadelphia…

Anyone familiar enough with the Irish psyche, but detached enough to analyze it, will have noticed that much of the antagonism towards Bailey relates to his combination of sex appeal and Englishness. While the murder victim, Sophie Toscan du Plantier, looked like she could have been “one of our own” with her light-ginger hair and pale, freckly skin (it’s easy to picture Saoirse Ronan playing her in a movie adaptation), Bailey ticked all the wrong boxes in an Ireland that still suffers from post-Colonial hang-ups….

In November of 1992, he was advised by telephone that the charges had been dropped, since it was established that he was scientifically correct. Lüftl’s telephone message from the bureaucrat is a notable exception. In the written notification of dismissal, the grounds were not named. In official documents the authorities would always avoid writing down a statement that could have serious consequences, like admitting that revisionists are right after all.

Thinking that his interrogation had ended, Fittkau stood up to leave when the “interpreter suddenly wheeled and pounced on me like an animal catching his prey by surprise. ‘We know you were a member of the Nazi Party. We know you had connections all the time with the SS. They sent you out of Germany with special orders to spy for the Nazi government.’” Thrusting his clenched fist into the air in the Communist salute, Fittkau’s interrogator shouted, “The great Red Army has destroyed Hitler’s swine! Now it will go on to wipe out all priests and all other pigs!”

Now that the history question has been answered without so much as a spoiler alert, and now that Graham Linehan’s particular judgement has been pre-announced, let me urge you to read the book anyway. Tough Crowd is that rare thing, a memoir that will bear repeated readings. Yes, Linehan is just a really good writer, and yes, the book is a captivating blend of social and cultural history that doubles as a series of genuinely expert tutorials: how to write a joke; the golden rules of making a sit-com; casting for sit-coms; how to write a musical; how to keep a writing partnership together…

The rest of the guild prophets fell in line behind John Henry Weston by refusing to give an accurate account of Fiducia Supplicans or the Vatican’s subsequent clarification. Taylor Marshall referred to Fiducia Supplicans as “an example of Francis and Fernandez engaging in Gaslighting.” For those of you who learned English before 2010, gaslighting is “a colloquialism, loosely defined as making someone question their own perception of reality.” The expression, which derives from the title of the 1944 film Gaslight, became popular in the mid-2010s. Merriam-Webster cites “to psychologically manipulate” so that the person questions his own memory, reality, and mental stability. Michael Matt, referring to Fiducia Supplicans as “Fernandez’s new doozy,” ridiculed the claim that FS did not change the Church’s teaching on marriage in the following way “We didn’t change the doctrine on MARRIAGE, remember? Get off our backs.” Followed by “A blessing is not an endorsement. DUH!” The tendentious nature of Matt’s commentary indicates a desire not to persuade or enlighten but to preach to a choir full of people with itching ears, as he has been doing for decades now.

Thus, at Yale I was getting a Jewish education, whether or not I was aware of it. At some point, however, I noticed how many Jewish course offerings there were in the Religious Studies department, and it struck me that they might outnumber the Christian ones. I counted up the courses offered by the department, and found that indeed, Jewish courses outnumbered Christian ones, not including courses like Sarna’s or Metlizki’s, which I had wrongly assumed would be Christian. How odd, I thought, for a school founded by Christian clergymen, in a country where there were reportedly 40 times more Christians than Jews. One of the Christian-themed classes I took in the Religious Studies major was a seminar on Christian monasticism. We took one field trip as part of that class, to the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut, where we met an elderly nun named Mother Jerome, whom I still remember vividly. She had been born into an aristocratic German family and was living in Munich during World War Two when the city was bombed by British and American planes. Tens of thousands of civilians were killed and wounded, but what she described to us was the aftermath of their bombing the library. Walking out by the river afterwards, she saw thousands of pages of paper flying in the air, caught in tree branches, and falling into the river. I bought a book of her poems, Things That Surround Us.

Because of his pathologically histrionic, narcissistic tendencies, Milei resembles the false Jewish messiah Shavetai Zevi, the 17th Century Thessalonian who indulged in sexual orgies before converting to Islam in order to save his life. Milei has openly stated that he practices tantric sex, or sexual yoga, and has also experienced sex in “ménage à trois.” His candidate for governor of the city of Buenos Aires, the usurer Ramiro Marra (from “marrano”) openly declared that he was in favor of the promotion of child pornography by all means…

In the same newsletter, Drake also advertised the already mentioned lecture on “Israel and the Jewish people.” The county commissioners’ meeting was scheduled for 10:00 AM at the county city building, which was roughly a 30-minute drive from the Juday Creek Country Club, where the talk on Israel was scheduled at noon. Amy Drake’s attendance at both meetings shows that it was possible for someone determined to attend both, but it was certainly not convenient since for most of the people in attendance it meant driving from the Republican stronghold of Granger into downtown South Bend and back again…

I have nothing against camels, but as “America’s leading Catholic intellectual,” as Kevin put it, I have a congenital allergic reaction to Unitarianism and more importantly to the Puritanism which spawned the Unitarian reaction by promulgating the distorted notion of Original Sin that goes by the term innate or total depravity. Ever since Ralph Waldo Emerson gave his Harvard Divinity school address, American culture has been plagued by two equally false understandings of Original Sin.

Saying that Voris “brought so many people to the Church by his fidelity” is only slightly less preposterous than saying that his S & M leather bar Church of Nasty expressed “the truths of the faith in a vigorous beautiful way.” Weston’s statement was so out of touch with reality that it demanded an explication of the hidden grammar of his true intentions in making it, but that became clear in light of Weston’s closing statement:

“Let’s pray, and let’s not be taken in. There’s going to be a lot of accusations. There’s going to be an attempt to paint Life Site and Taylor Marshall and Michael Matt with a kind of brush that say’s “Look, look, let’s not go there.”

Whoa, hold on there Jacob! This has nothing to do with resistance? Middle Eastern Muslim militants are really European anti-Semites. Hamas is just another manifestation of Nazism? I honestly don’t know how enflamed with Nazi ideology Hamas really is, but if even Hamas can’t be accorded some justification for dissatisfaction with Israel, then who can be absolved from the charge of being a Nazi sympathizer…

As we have come to expect, whenever Jews need to justify war crimes, ethnic cleansing, or any other act of barbarism, they invoke the Holocaust. After the outbreak of the current war between Israel and Gaza, Ben Shapiro began his call for the extermination of “some of the most demonic evil pieces of human excrement to ever walk the planet,” by saying “This was the worst day for Jews since the Holocaust.” “They are shooting babies,” he continued. “This is what they do.”

But Calvin was hardly an anomaly in this regard. Martin Luther, the founder of the Reformation, repeatedly called himself a prophet. In 1539 he confided to a friend that, “I don’t like prophesying, and I also don’t want to prophesy, because what I prophesy—especially the evil—occurs more than I like… Because I speak God’s word, it has to happen.” In spite of his professed dislike for prophesying, inspired predictions were not at all out of place in Luther’s daily life. In January 1532, Luther “foretold that he would be sick, that in March he would be overtaken by a grave illness.”

Both the German Lutheran Jew Marx and the Russian Jew Alinsky fit the mold described in Civilta Cattolica by Fr. Giuseppe Oreglia di Santo Stefano who, like Christ, explained that those who reject Him become the children of Satan: many Jews possessed by “Satan, by demons or by spirits, that is, moved by a satanic hatred of the Christian name” have “always persecuted the Christians” and not the other way around.

Catcher in the Rye is a dreadfully banal and blasphemous book that forces the reader inside the head of a teenage loser as he descends lower into popular culture oblivion. We might even say that the book has shaped or even defined pop culture and popularity itself. Holden Caulfield was a popular person at his prep school in every modern way – i.e., he smoked, he drank, he cursed, he used Christ’s name in vain fluently, he mingled comfortably with alpha males and attractive girls, he had wealthy, indifferent parents and a suave older brother…

hen Buttigieg mentioned that the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Chevy Silverado EV both start at under $40k. He was right about the Ford at the time he made that remark, but the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning starts at just under $50k (it flirts with $100k when fully loaded), and the Chevy Silverado EV still isn’t on the market. Mayor Pete quoted the price of a truck that didn’t exist yet and still isn’t available to buy a year later. If you go to Chevy’s website, you won’t even find an estimated price for the Silverado EV, raising doubt about a starting price anywhere near $40k.

On June 27, a local branch of the Proud Boys showed up at what was supposed to be a Drag Queen Story Hour at the Virginia M. Tutt branch of the St. Joseph County Public Library. WVPE, the local NPR affiliate, gave a tendentious account of the incident which incorporated all of the usual epithets about “the growth of hateful right-wing rhetoric against LGBTQ people” at the hands of the Proud Boys “and other far-right groups” which “have turned up at Pride parades and events like drag queen story hours.”
