It's "hard to say" whether John Kasich will support Donald Trump, the Ohio governor said Thursday, adding that it's "absolutely" possible he could go to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next month and not endorse the billionaire businessman. "Hard to say," the swing-state governor said of whether he will back the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. "If you look at Twitter, they have this thing called 'trending.' It's trending poorly." Kasich stressed that his message is vastly different than Trump's. "We're like two companies. You know, we have a different vision, a different value system and a different objective," he...

My 1992 Phyllis Schlafly Report unearthed Hillary's real views on marriage. She likened it to "slavery.

Less than a year after the Supreme Court decided that marriage no longer needs partners of the opposite sex, the other two branches of the federal government are moving rapidly to eliminate all rational distinctions based on sex. Taken together, these new actions reflect the unscientific (but oh-so-politically correct) dogma that there are no fundamental, biological differences between male and female. From the executive branch, controlled by President Obama and the Democrats, came a joint letter from the Departments of Justice and Education addressed to the nation's public schools and colleges that receive federal financial assistance. The letter instructed schools...

On 12 May 1962, Gen. Douglas MacArthur addressed the cadets at the U.S. Military Academy, delivering his farewell speech, "Duty, Honor and Country." He described the legions of uniformed American Patriots as follows: "Their story is known to all of you. It is the story of the American man at arms. My estimate of him was formed on the battlefields many, many years ago and has never changed. I regarded him then, as I regard him now, as one of the world's noblest figures -- not only as one of the finest military characters, but also as one of the...

Forty-five years after he served as a U.S. Army chaplain in Vietnam, Redemptorist Father John Bauer continues to expand his admiration for the resourcefulness and resolve of the men and women who were under his pastoral care during wartime. Father Bauer, now on the staff of his childhood parish in Highlandtown, is among a half-dozen Catholics featured in "Maryland Vietnam War Stories," a 3-hour documentary airing over as many nights, May 24-26, on Maryland Public Television. Father Bauer was among the participants who attended a recent advance screening, where a fellow veteran noticed his clerical collar and approached him during...

Our Left Wing government is attempting to push transgenderism down our throats; making those of us who do not accept this aberrant behavior as normal, ‘transgenderphobes.’ Now, a top psychiatrist from Johns Hopkins is telling us the truth about what he terms is a mental disorder. From CNSnews.com Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder. Dr....

This Pope never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity or proselytize for Islam no matter how many millions of murdered Christians lay before him. The Pope is the gift that keeps on giving -- to Islamic supremacists. Blaming the global jihad war on 'Iraq' negates the half a billion victims of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations and enslavements over the past 1,400 years. "Pope Francis: Muslim Terrorism is the West's Fault," By Daniel Greenfield, FPM, May 18, 2016: Is anything ever the fault of Muslims? Not to the left. Muslims have no agency. They just respond to what...

Donald Trump's ex-girlfriend, model Rowanne Brewer, has told Inside Edition how Trump was pondering a presidential run 25 years ago, how the 'gentle' billionaire treated her sweetly during their time together - and why she doesn't regret moving on. Brewer met Trump at a party in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1990 just after Trump had divorced first wife Ivana. The pair 'hit it off' instantly, according to Brewer. Trump, then 44, asked the 26-year-old former Miss Maryland out on a date - and they began a brief relationship that Brewer now says was 'exciting' and 'a wonderful time.'

This past week Sulpician Fr. Phillip J. Brown, rector of the Theological College, the national diocesan seminary of the Catholic University of America, thought it a good idea to grant an interview to the dissident media outlet the National Catholic Reporter. The topic? Is there a "Francis effect" noticeable to Fr. Brown among the current crop of seminarians, and if so, what does it look like? In the article, Fr. Brown and the NCR present the all too common false narrative of the Catholic Left: namely, that those already ordained to the priesthood in recent years are not really interested...

Pro-life organization Susan B. Anthony List praised Donald Trump for hiring John Mashburn as a campaign policy adviser, calling Mashburn an "excellent hire, especially for the pro-life movement and our legislative priorities." "I have known and respected John Mashburn for many years," SBA president Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. "He is a smart strategist with deep pro-life roots. John is well-respected across every issue set. For him, the life issue is foundational and one which helped draw him into politics." "I have known and respected John Mashburn for many years," SBA president Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. "He...

Texas lawmakers named May 26 as "John Wayne Day" in the state. According to PRNewswire, "Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation declaring the iconic star an honorary Texan." Wayne rose to fame as one of the most popular movie starts during the 20th century. PRNewswire reports he's respected not only a talented movie star, but also "as a loving father, a fisherman, a horseman, a hunter, an adventurer and an unabashed patriot of the United States of America." "The Duke's independent spirit embodies what it means to be a Texan and personifies the storied history of the Lone Star...

Canada-born TED CRUZ is NOT eligible for US President. Ted Cruz has NO CRBA paperwork (required for US Citizens born outside the USA). What is Ted Cruz hiding? Is Cruz still an illegal alien? Did Ted Cruz become a US Citizen under Reagan’s 1986 AMNESTY? Ted Cruz’s father was a citizen of CUBA. Only his mother was a US Citizen. But his parents were still required to submit CRBA paperwork at a US Consulate (which they apparently didn’t do). If Ted Cruz had US PAPERWORK, we never would’ve seen his CANADIAN paperwork! From Ted Cruz, we’ve only seen a Canadian...

The perennial discipline of the Catholic Church on the admissibility to Holy Communion of divorced and civilly remarried Catholics living in adulterous, or irregular, second unions was succinctly spelled out by St. John Paul II in Familiaris Consortio: “[T]he Church reaffirms her practice, which is based upon Sacred Scripture, of not admitting to Eucharistic Communion divorced persons who have remarried. They are unable to be admitted thereto from the fact that their state and condition of life objectively contradict that union of love between Christ and the Church which is signified and effected by the Eucharist. Besides this, there is...

The Supreme Court Very interesting, but scary, view. A number of republican voters have threatened that they won't vote for the GOP candidate this November if the eventual nominee was not their personal choice in the primaries. I just want to put something into perspective: · Justice Scalia's seat is vacant. · Ginsberg is 82 years old, · Kennedy is 79, · Breyer is 77, and · Thomas is 67. Nowadays, the data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after the age of 75. There are 5 vacancies that will likely come up...

Tim Clark, hand-picked by Republican frontrunner Donald Trump this week to be his new California political director, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Wednesday evening that the Trump campaign has "already outmatched" Sen. Ted Cruz in the Golden State. "I've only been on the job for the past 24 hours," Clark said, "but it is a large, grassroots, unstoppable, momentous movement that is elevating Donald Trump in the state." On Monday, Cruz's own California political director, former state GOP chair Mike Schroeder, speculated that the Trump campaign would fail to find enough delegates to fill three slots in each...

In his speech after losing the New York primary, Sen. Ted Cruz claimed that he and Sen. Bernie Sanders are "outsiders" who "don't find our fuel in bundlers and special interests. But rather directly from the people." But Cruz's comparison to Sanders is a bit of a stretch. Sanders opposes super PACs that can raise unlimited amounts of money from big donors. But five super PACs working to elect Cruz have raised more than $1 million each, including four Keep the Promise super PACs that have raised $42.8 million largely from a small number of big donors in the energy...

Everyone sees on the news the bickering going back and forth between Cruz and Donald Trump now days. It's no secret that Trump believes Cruz is a liar. Lyin' Ted. But have you ever asked yourselves why this moniker has taken on a life of it's own? Let's forget about the sex scandal articles in the National Enquirer, the DC Madam scandal and the bashing about his nefarious allegiance to a minister who wants to execute gays. There's more to this situation than most would like to admit. And it's time, if you really wanted to be an informed, responsible...

The link is not up yet, but a few minutes ago Trump was interviewed by Sean Hannity who asked him to clarify his remarks about the NC transgender law. Trump basically said NC is feeling the pinch of a boycott and that's too bad. Hannity asked him how he thought the issue should be settled. Trump said it was a local issue and the Federal courts should never get involved. That's all he said about it. Hannity didn't ask him did he personally think drag queens should be allowed in whatever bathroom they want to use. But I did hear...

Below is a very abbreviated and incomplete chronological summary list of troubling quotes, headlines, and happenings which have taken place so far in the very young Pope Francis papacy. These news stories and quotes are intentionally presented in very brief format simply to demonstrate that there is an overall most suspicious and undeniable pattern of oddity surrounding Pope Francis. It should also be known that all of the items on the list below are from established, mainstream news sources and may easily be searched in google to confirm.
