LifeSiteNews revealed Wednesday that Pope Francis knowingly assigned a problematic priest plum Vatican real estate as a favor to a friendly Cardinal. The priest, Monsignor Luigi Capozzi, was later busted by the Vatican’s private police force, the Swiss Guard, for having a “drug-fueled gay orgy” in that same apartment. A source tells LifeSite that “Francis himself” gave Capozzi the apartment as a favor to his personal friend Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, who is described as one of Pope Francis’ “closest collaborators and ardent supporters.” Capozzi was Cardinal Coccopalmerio’s personal secretary. The apartment reportedly belonged to the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican body responsible for explaining, defending, and acting on Catholic dogma (it is also the body now in charge of handling accusations of sexual abuse, thanks to a change made under Pope Benedict XVI), and when the head of the CDF requested use of the apartment, he was told it was filled by order ...

The state legislature in California just voted to restrict the right to buy guns to those who are 21-years-old or older. California, a state that already has strict gun control laws, voted on a bill that restricts the ability of those ages 18-20 from buying AR-15s or any other rifles. The state already banned young adults from owning handguns. The bill, SB 1100, prohibits “the sale or transfer of any firearm by a licensed dealer, except as specifically exempted, to any person under 21 years of age.” The author of the bill, state Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-Calif.) told ABC7, “As a dad and legislator, I am determined to help California respond appropriately to the tragic events on school campuses. It is imperative that California leads when Washington refuses to act.” This isn’t Portantino’s only gun control legislation. He also proposed a bill that would limit the number of guns an individual can buy to just one per month. Many saw this to be a violation of the rights of 18-20-year...

Over five million people have seen the incredibly moving video of a ten-year-old foster child tearfully discovering her foster care parents were adopting her, and for good reason: the girl would be joining her younger biological brother and sister to make one happy family. Ten-year-old Ivey Zezulka’s foster parents, Paige and Daniel Zezulka of Athens, Georgia, decided to become foster parents roughly three years ago, taking in Ivey’s brother Kai, who was then five months old. Paige Zezulka told ABC’s “Good Morning America,” “We got a call about a little boy who needed a home.” The Zezulkas didn’t know Kai had an older sister, Ivey; she was already living with a family who were friends with the Zezulkas. Meanwhile, Kai and Ivey’s mother was pregnant with their younger sister Lita. Paige Zezulka noted that the goal of foster care is to reunify the child with his or her birth family, adding, “We were in support of that for a long time. Eventually it just wasn’t [what] was best, [it] was...

In-N-Out, the famous California burger chain that out-of-towners frequent when visiting the Golden State, is about to get the Chick-fil-A treatment. According to LAMag, the burger chain known for printing John 3:16 on their cups “gave $25,000 to the California Republican Party this week.” The donation was confirmed by a public filing on the Secretary of State’s website, initially spotted by Washington, D.C.-based journalist Gabe Schneider: In-N-Out added a new item to their secret menu. https://t.co/VtaCOuiNRp pic.twitter.com/tCRYqFGDEB — Gabe Schneider (@gabemschneider) August 29, 2018 The donation matches a pattern of political contributions made by the fast-food chain. The company donated $30,000 per year to the GOP in 2016 and 2017. With that revelation, leftists have said they will boycott. “No more for me,” one user tweeted. “I refuse to spend money at any firm (when I have choices) that donates money to the Republican party or any Republican candidate.” “So @innoutbu...

CNN, which last week saw a big story disappear in a puff of smoke when a source came out to say he was wrong to say what the network said he said, is doubling down on the disastrous piece of journalistic sophistry. Late Wednesday, President Trump hit the liberal outlet for its erroneous report that he knew in advance of a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between several people connected to Trump and a Russian lawyer. The story, written in part by former Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame, used anonymous sources, but Lanny Davis, attorney for Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, later came out to refute the CNN piece (for which he was reportedly the main source). “CNN is being torn apart from within based on their being caught in a major lie and refusing to admit the mistake. Sloppy @carlbernstein, a man who lives in the past and thinks like a degenerate fool, making up story after story, is being laughed at all over the country! Fake News,” Trump wrote on Twitter....

Nikki Haley has gone to bat for the United States’ closest ally, Israel, dozens of times since becoming the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations — and her colleagues at the U.N. are starting to take note. Ambassador Haley joined the Foundation for Defense of Democracies to accept the Jeane Kirkpatrick Award for her defense of Israel at the U.N. While accepting the award, Haley called the U.N.’s treatment of Israel “pathetic,” but added that she is making progress. Watch: . @USUN Ambassador Nikki Haley on anti-Israel bias at the @UN : When I saw how abusive all of these countries were being against #Israel , I had no choice but to get up and say this is completely wrong. We are not going to condone this anti-Israel bias. #FDDSummit pic.twitter.com/oKsLWpfzyv — Department of State (@StateDept) August 28, 2018 I knew there was a bias against Israel, but I hadn’t really put a lot of thought into it until I attended my first session. And when I saw, literally, how abusive all of...
