Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: β€œNo one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Today in 1963, the Limited Test Ban Treatyβ€”shown being signed by President John F. Kennedy on October 7 after US Senate ratificationβ€”entered into force, ending 18 years of unconstrained atmospheric nuclear testing by the United States (215 tests), the Soviet Union (219), and the United Kingdom (21).

Today in 1967, the Outer Space Treaty entered into force. Now boasting 112 states parties (it started with just 62), the treaty guarantees the peaceful exploration of space for all, bans militarization of the Moon, and outlaws nuclear and other WMDs in orbit, on celestial bodies, and in outer space.

Meet the Catholic middle school students rowing toward a brighter future At San Miguel Academy, teamwork begins on the water.

The rowing team is a piece of Father Connell’s strategy to create opportunities for Newburgh’s young people, but he is convinced it is the kind of sport that can have a transformative effect anywhere it is tried.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.
