Pope Francis Implementing Change Of Lord’s Prayer: ‘Lead Us Not Into Temptation’

(Phony pope, Bergoglio.) The Vatican under Pope Francis will soon be implementing a change to the Lord's Prayer, also known as the Pater Noster, switching out the line "lead us not into temptation" for the Francis-approved "abandon us not into temptation." According to the U.K.'s Express, the change to the Lord's Prayer comes after 16 years of research by experts who found a mistake in the current translation "from a theological, pastoral and stylistic viewpoint." It has been translated into literally hundreds of languages from the original texts in ancient Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. Last year around Christmas, Pope Francis spoke of his desire ...
John Kelly Was President Trump's Top Authoritarian Fearmonger. Good Riddance.

President Donald Trump announced to reporters on Saturday that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly will step down by the end of the year, ending months of speculation about Kelly's potential exit date. The popular narrative around Kelly, a retired Marine general, is that he brought military-minded discipline to a chaotic White House. It's not clear that Kelly's influence ever extended outside his own person. One likely candidate to replace him—Nick Ayers, chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence—is instead leaving the administration. As Kelly heads for the exits, let's take a moment to shove aside the content-free beltway obsession with who holds the cards in ...
Kavanaugh Joins Liberals To Protect Pro-Planned Parenthood Ruling

The Supreme Court declined to review three cases relating to Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood at the state level Monday, over a vigorous dissent from Justice Clarence Thomas. The dissent was significant because it indicates that Justice Brett Kavanaugh sided with the high court’s liberal wing to deny review of a lower court decision that favored the nation’s largest abortion provider. “So what explains the Court’s refusal to do its job here?,” Thomas wrote. “I suspect it has something to do with the fact that some respondents in these cases are named ‘Planned Parenthood.'” “Some tenuous connection to a politically fraught issue ...
Lena Dunham lied to discredit an alleged rape victim and then wrote her worst apology yet

oday we will talk about Lena Dunham’s apology (a word I’m applying extremely loosely), and then I hope we will return to the proper amount of talking about Lena Dunham, which is never. A year ago, Dunham lied in order to discredit a woman who had just gone to the police to report a sexual assault. On Wednesday, she penned a rambling, pretentious opus about women in Hollywood (“Heroines have emerged. We are cracking open windows and beating down doors. The air is circulating and the light is pouring in,”) and sneaked a whiny, halfhearted mea culpa into the ninth paragraph. We’re so used to Dunham apologizing at this point (Lena Dunham Apologizes is an actual ...
Don’t Be Fooled: Ocasio-Cortez Is A Very Real Threat

Too many conservatives are having too much fun with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s gaffes and more-than-apparent ignorance of economics, history and the U.S. Constitution. There is truly a lot of low-hanging fruit, and it hardly needs to be re-hashed. Just check your social media feed. But just deriding the woman belies two errors. One is thinking that she is a lightweight one-off to be mocked and ridiculed for sport and the other is to think there is no harm in doing so. On the first count, she is showing herself to be a much quicker study than one might expect considering her astounding ignorance on so many levels (that is a condemnation more of her education than of her, it seems.) ...

Fox NewsAn elementary school principal in Nebraska was placed on leave after telling teachers to avoid decorating their classrooms with Christmas-themed ornamentations so as not to offend those who don’t celebrate the holiday. The principal at Manchester Elementary School, identified by Fox affiliate KPTM as Jennifer Sinclair, sent out a memo earlier this week with guidelines as to what is considered appropriate for classroom decorations and assignments. Teachers were reportedly told that generic winter-themed items, such as sledding and scarves, and the “Frozen” character Olaf, were acceptable. Decorations that included Santa, Christmas trees, ...
Name One Government Agency That Doesn’t Do The Exact Opposite Of Its Purpose

By Joe Jarvis A DEA agent is accused of facilitating drug trafficking in the regions he oversaw in Florida and Arkansas. He allegedly traded inside information to drug runners in exchange for cash. Drugs are illegal. But you can still run drugs with the right person being paid off. And you can do it for very little money–this agent got around $62,000 from one dealer for his role. That is enough money to easily corrupt an individual, but a small price to pay compared to how much a drug dealer can make. Especially when you have the DEA looking the other way and giving you a heads up before raids. But this isn’t surprising. We have heard the same story a thousand times before. This ...

The reporters who made this nontroversy a story should be ashamed of themselves.University of Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday. The internet being what it is, some folks on social media apparently took this as an opportunity to go looking for reasons to be outraged, and discovered some homophobic tweets Murray sent when he was in high school. Murray apologized right away, tweeting, "I used a poor choice of word that doesn't reflect who I am or what I believe. I did not intend to single out any individual or group." For some reason, many media outlets decided this little nontroversy demanded a write-up. "As of early Sunday morning, four ...
Kansas recalls hundreds of license plates over ethnic slur complaint (JAP)

WICHITA, Kan. — Kansas is recalling hundreds of vehicle license plates on the streets containing the “JAP” lettering in the wake of complaints that it is an ethnic slur offensive to Japanese Americans.The Kansas Department of Revenue said there are 731 active registrations containing that random letter combination on standard license plates. Vehicle owners were sent a letter dated Tuesday asking them to return the plate to their county vehicle office within 30 days for replacement at no cost. Plates not replaced within that period will be identified in the state’s system and will be replaced at their annual renewal.The issue arose last year when Keith Kawamoto spotted a ...
Adolescent Pot Use in Post-Legalization Colorado and Washington Is Still Failing to Rise

A favorite prohibitionist theme is refuted by reality.The recent, laughably bad Centennial Institute report on marijuana legalization in Colorado talks a lot about the impact of cannabis consumption on high school students. In fact, lost productivity due to marijuana-related high school dropouts is the biggest component of the costs it erroneously attributes to legalization. Yet conspicuously missing from the report is any claim that legalization led to an increase in marijuana use by teenagers, a popular theme among pot prohibitionists. The omission is understandable in light of survey data showing that rates of marijuana use among middle and high school students in Colorado and ...
The Irony of a Congressman's Proposal to Exempt Police from His “Assault Weapons” Ban

If the intent is to reduce deaths by firearms, then law enforcement should be the first to hand in their “assault weapons.” In May of 2018, Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) wrote an opinion column for USA Today in which he called for significant increases in gun control following the murder of Gary Jackson, a 28-year-old security guard from Oakland, California, whose killer was armed with an “AK-47-style semi-automatic assault rifle.” Swalwell was the prosecutor in the case, and his exposure to Jackson’s autopsy reports emboldened him to seek significant gun control legislation at the federal level. Invoking the justification-induced power of the pronoun we, ...
The Speeding Exemption (Some Animals are More Equal than Others)

In Orwell’s other book – Animal Farm – we read about a mutiny against the farmer by the livestock, who draw up a kind of Declaration of Rights premised on the idea that all animals are equal. This is painted on the side of the barn for all to admire. Over time (and in the dead of night) caveats and exemptions are inserted – by the pigs – culminating in the new idea that some animals are more equal than others. The pigs begin wearing clothes, sleep inside the farmhouse – while the other animals sleep outside or in the unheated barn.When it comes to driving fast, some two-legged animals are without doubt regarded by themselves as more equal than others.And by the ...

This is rich. His country has been ruined by Muslim immigration, and Macron is honoring those who are endeavoring to destroy Israel. The French Jewish population voted for this idiot en masse. Macron should be condemning the Islamic colonialism of France; instead, he has condemned “Israeli colonialism” and is now rewarding jihad terrorists. This is obscene and absurd. The French sleep with dogs, they get up with fleas. They encourage and award Islamic jihad violence, and it has come to France in the Bataclan arena and Hyper Cacher supermarket, and will come again. And now their country is on fire. They should burn. “He dared! Macron declares war on Israel and supports Arab ...
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Central Americans Treated Like Jews Fleeing The Nazis

(Another communist imbecile for Congress!) Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez has compared the situation of those would-be immigrants in the famous caravan from Central America, who she claims are simply “turned away” at the American border, to Jews fleeing the Nazis. Of course, these people are not all being turned away just like that. They are merely being told to come to a designated point of legal entry, to present themselves and make their case for asylum. Some will be accepted, some will be rejected. Jews fleeing the Nazis had no such possibility. The few who did arrive in America, as on the refugee ship the St. Louis, were prevented from landing anywhere in America. The ships they ...

Government seeks to prioritise environment and end some of world’s worst traffic congestion Luxembourg is set to become the first country in the world to make all its public transport free. Fares on trains, trams and buses will be lifted next summer under the plans of the re-elected coalition government led by Xavier Bettel, who was sworn in for a second term as prime minister on Wednesday. Bettel, whose Democratic party will form a government with the leftwing Socialist Workers’ party and the Greens, had vowed to prioritise the environment during the recent election campaign. On top of the transport pledge, the new government is also considering legalising cannabis, and ...

As the list of states that have legalized marijuana continues to grow, New York could have a new reason to embrace cannabis: It could help save the subway. Some state and city leaders have started to discuss the idea of making recreational marijuana legal and using the revenue to pay for badly-needed and expensive subway upgrades. The proposal could face improved odds in Albany now that Democrats have taken full control of the State Legislature for the first time in a decade. “The biggest issue we hear about as elected officials is the state of the subway system,” Corey Johnson, the City Council speaker, said in an interview. “To be able to tie these things together is ...
