Catholic Answers has recently promoted a lot of blatant heresies about economics - but this comment about divorce is spot on. It's a historical fact: committing divorce in and of itself a mortal sin. But so are a lot of economic crimes Catholic Answers has recently excused, whose

The leading Trump henchman are so unstable + lacking in self-control that they can't help but eventually spew out random comments, whether true or false, that also hurt their fellow minions. But they also lack the character to stand by their comments when they happen to be true.

The president's position is clear, consistent, and principled: Pro-Trump protesters no matter how violent are above the law and will be pardoned for any crime; Anti-Trump protesters no matter how peaceful will be repressed by military force.

As I've said for 30+ years, Israel&America lack the firepower to take out Iran's nuclear program (let alone regime change!), although they could set it back a few years. They will expend a lot of bombs and missiles & declare victory for the cameras,but all they'll get is a delay.

Diversity of thought is not a good thing if it merely means expanding into wildly incompatible conspiracy theories. Neither side is sane these days, but Maga stands out because its patchwork of crazy ideologies aren't logically consistent in combination.

Russian casualties pass the 1 million mark. Alternative estimates are in the same ballpark. Russia was already half the size of the USSR, gripped by an epic demographic decline for generations. A rapidly greying population w/with growing ethnic minorities cannot sustain this.

Ho-hum, the Israeli strikes everyone's been chatting about for 30+ years have finally begun. It's time to recalibrate expectations: soon they'll run out of $ for missiles, hype some videos of destruction of key sites in Iran and declare victory. Then in a couple years they'll

Boelter's in custody now. We can chalk this up these assassinations to the death toll of Trumpism. Add this to pandemic toll, Capitol Riot, deaths from depriving Ukraine of arms, the attack on Pelosi's husband & much more since 2016. "Sin, when full grown, produces death." -

Putin doesn't need to attend the G7 summit. He sent Trump.

If Republicans were remotely "pro-family," they wouldn't have elected a 3-time divorcee who brags about grabbing women by the crotch, cheated on all his wives, called his own daughter hot, hung out with Epstein and spied on pageant contestants' dressing rooms. Trump has even said

When I was a foreign policy columnist I strongly suspected Iraq had an active WMD program. It should've been obvious the day the 2nd Persian Gulf War started that they did not possess WMDs - otherwise they would've used them.Same here with Israel's claims about Iran's fissile

This is just another clear example of the absolutely ridiculous fervor over the Israeli strikes, which have no hope of accomplishing more than setting Iran' s nuclear program 5-10 years or so. The theocracy is in no danger of losing power; that would require us to reinstitute the

Iran has been an ally of China since 1979. Not a staunch one - if anything, China would want to stop the spread of Islamic fundamentalism throughout Central Asia - but still very useful. This is especially true now that China's dependent on Mideast oil imports and America is not.

It's incredibly ridiculous that so many people are talking about destroying the Iranian theocracy with just a few missile strikes. Complete control of the skies and endless airstrikes didn't stop the Taliban or the Houthis. It took 2 large-scales wars on top of that to topple

Right on. As I've been pointing out for the past week to analysts who ought to know better, airstrikes didn't even detour the Houthis. 20 years of air supremacy didn't defeat the Taliban. It took 2 major land wars to topple Saddam Hussein. Iran is a major regional power in a

If the suicide rate is really that high, then the only logical conclusion is that transgenderism is the cause. Blaming their choices on SCOTUS is illogical. The behavior itself leads to mental and spiritual illness, just like drug addiction. Encouraging these people causes them

One unsung drawback of this is that it will further draw down our stocks of missiles and bombs available for the Taiwan front. This issue already led the Trump Admin to cease its bombing campaign against the Houthis earlier this year.
