In our ever-more deranged Dominion, it began with the $600 million subsidy to ‘help’ journalistic sources – of course, only those selected by the government. The CRTC has already called for the CBC to be even-more funded that its current one billion dollars and counting, along with forcing streaming services to stream even more crappy[…]
Trump’s State of the Union address was a remarkable affair, from what highlights I could glean. Ebullient, optimistic, confident – all in the very room where the soon-to-be-declared failed impeachment process was held. For this writer, what was most significant was the declaration, whatever Jefferson mean by his ‘wall of separation of Church and State’[…]
I’m a nasty woman,” Ashley Judd 2017 Three years ago – the Saturday after Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration in Washington – a million women gathered to protest in what became known as “the Women’s March on Washington”.

All are heavily armed with[…]
The power of evil men lives on the cowardice of the good. (Saint John Bosco)
The German episcopacy begins its tortured synodal path today, with the intent, according to reports, to approve contraception, homosexuality and female ordination, any one of which would put them outside the visible, hierarchical Church founded by Jesus Christ, continuing in the world unto the end of time. So be it, for, like Judas, perhaps ‘tis[…]
