It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.
HUGE FLIP: Democrat John Ewing Jr. just turned Omaha blue—defeating the longest-serving GOP mayor in the country and becoming the city’s first Black mayor in history.

We’re in the DOGE Subcommittee hearing, but where’s Elon? Is the “oversight” in the room with us?
Republicans wanted to talk about NGOs and Stacey Abrams. But, Trump’s out here slapping a for sale sign on the White House lawn—and y’all wanna play games?

Today was a standout.
We started off at the Musée d’Orsay—a former train station turned art museum, and honestly, the highlight of the trip so far. First damp day too, but nothing serious, just a light sprinkle.
Outside, we saw hawkers hiding their bottled water in sidewalk utility compartments. Inside, we made a beeline straight to the fi…

To distance ones self from
abuse is one thing; to reject authority is another. A bold step & very sad. There seems to be a belief among certain traditionally-minded folks that God will not suffer His Church to endure mismanagement or leadership flavored with fallenness. I wonder if they have not read their Old Testament lately. Or their Church history. Vigano likening the Nuns to martyrs and rallying support for them against their Bishop seems vastly misguided in my view.
One last reflection - to accuse a Bishop of such major abuse is a big deal. Will the Nuns substantiate their claim with evidence, or will they sling out an accusation much like they and the Bishop have been doing since this all began? “He said, she said” chapter two, only now
with Archbishop V in the wings while Bishop O stands in his corner backed by the Pope…? I feel like I said this several months ago but it bears repeating: it’s a bad look.

But I accept their allegations of major abuse of authority; it is born out in the recording of the initiation of the three-day raid itself as well as the actions by the Bishop and Diocesan officials that followed. The Nuns have effe…
