Hunt, a spokesperson for the city, said around a dozen people were taken from the home for the elderly. All of the people being rescued are 'doing OK,' Hunt told CNN on Monday. Mudslides had cut off the desert town, which is unaccustomed to such rainfall. In Palm Springs, nearly a year worth of rain...

Local Hispanic leaders in Palm Beach Beach County are trying to convince Governor DeSantis not to sign a bill into law that will stop illegal immigration in Florida, and it’s not only Democrats who seem to be having an issue. Local
Hispanic GOP leader Lydia Maldonado who is running for chair of the local Republican party, says she is against illegal immigration but will not get involved in the local battle with the governor. The recent statement from the legislature sends a strong message. Florida isn’t the state for you if you’re an illegal immigrant. SB 1718 (HB 1617) was...

Daily Mass Gospel Reflection- Palm Sunday

The Catholic Thing ^
| 4.2.23 | Bishop Robert Barron
PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD'S PASSION Matthew 16:14-28, Matthew 17:1-66 Friends, on this Palm Sunday, Matthew’s magnificent Gospel of the Passion bids us to reflect on the seriousness of sin.To be sure, the Gospel proclaimed by the first Christians involves the glorious Resurrection, but those initial evangelists never let their hearers forget
that the one who had been raised was none other than the one who had been crucified. So the question was—and remains—why would God’s salvation of the human race have to include something as horrifying as the Crucifixion of the Son of God?Here’s the point. The Scriptural authors...

The Collected Poems of G. K. Chesterton ^
| 1927 | GK Chesterton / Self
The Donkey~ G.K. CHESTERTONWhen fishes flew and forests walked And figs grew upon thorn, Some moment when the moon was blood Then surely I was born.With monstrous head and sickening cry And ears like errant wings, The devil’s walking parody On all four-footed things.The tattered outlaw of the earth, Of ancient crooked
will; Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb, I keep my secret still.Fools! For I also had my hour; One far fierce hour and sweet: There was a shout about my ears, And palms before my feet.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalm
14:1 (King James Version) The American Communist Party no longer has any level it will not lower itself to. Whatever it takes to cling to power and destroy America is what they will do. To even consider the arrest of a President on phony charges is something which would not be done in the recent past for actual serious crimes, would not be considered however this crime organization sees no problem with breaking laws...

“Flourishing Palms” (Psalm 92) At the start of today’s service, with palm branches in our hands, we sang, “All glory, laud, and honor to You, Redeemer, King.” Today we’re like the crowd that greeted Jesus on his way into Jerusalem: “They took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him,
crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!’” These palm branches befit the praises with which we hail our coming King. Today these palms are fresh and green, just as our worship today is strong and vigorous....

By Dr. John Bergsma (first and second readings) and Dr. Brant Pitre (Gospel Reading)This Sunday’s readings might seem bipolar or schizophrenic. We
begin Mass with exultant cheering as we relive Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. We end the Readings on a note of solemn silence, unable to process the reality of one of the most egregious abuses of judicial process and power in human history, in which the only innocent man ever to live is executed. What does it all mean? Despite a few mysterious prophetic texts that seemed to intimate this possibility, the idea that the Messiah could arrive...

They’ve got a three-year itch. A
group of Palm Springs residents are fighting to remove a towering statue of Marilyn Monroe in one of her most iconic poses, arguing that the work is a sexist eyesore that blocks traffic. On Feb. 23, the Art Newspaper reported, California’s 4th District Court of Appeals overturned a motion to dismiss a lawsuit by the Committee to Relocate Marilyn (Crema), which is battling to remove Seward Johnson’s 2011 sculpture “Forever Marilyn” from its current site outside the Palm Springs Art Museum.

Palm Beach County Parents and Police to DeSantis-‘Safety of Our Children is at Risk’

A group of parents and school police officers from Palm Beach County sent a letter to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis detailing a list of severe and long-standing problems with policing in The School District of Palm Beach County. When the letter was submitted to the DeSantis administration, the group asked for whistleblower
status, so I won’t reveal any individuals involved in writing or sending the letter. Still, I’ve spoken to some of them, I know who they are, and I can confirm that it is a “group.” I’ve been told it’s “hundreds and hundreds” of police and parents, but I...

Around July 2022 was when CTH first noticed the visible fingerprints of a coordinated GOPe strategy toward the goal of presenting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the acceptable republican candidate to remove the threat of the America First MAGA movement. At
first, I didn’t say anything, preferring to watch and check the data points to see if they all aligned in this one visible direction. However, as soon as the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago took place and DeSantis went into a bunker, it became obvious there was a working plan in place {Go Deep}. From that early August moment forward,...
