Republicans on Wednesday night postponed a critical vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general after two key G.O.P. senators threatened to derail it over a deal he cut to settle President Trump’s lawsuit against the I.R.S.
The senators, John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who are not returning to Congress next year, accused Mr. Blanche of refusing to put on paper his promise to kill aspects of the deal.
In June, Mr. Blanche said he would drop a proposed $1.8 billion fund to compensate purported victims of Biden-era actions by the Justice …More

‘THE PASSION AND CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE SEVEN LAST WORDS FROM THE CROSS’ By St. ALPHONSUS de LIGUORI – ‘VII. THE SEVEN WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS…’; points 1; pp. 11-12

[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII – XVIII Century AD; born: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/died: Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian, Founder, Bishop, Doctor of the Church]
VII. THE SEVEN WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS
1. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Lk 23:34)
O loving tenderness of Jesus towards men!
St. Augustine says that when the Savior was injured by his enemies, he besought pardon for them; for he thought not so much of the injuries he received from them, and the [280] death they inflicted upon him, as upon the love which brought him to die for them.
But some may say, Why did Jesus pray to the Father to pardon them, when he himself could have forgiven their injuries? St. Bernard replies that he prayed to the Father, not because he could not himself forgive them, but that he might teach us to pray for them that persecute us. The holy abbot …More

Elon Musk warnt vor der Vernichtung der KI: ‘Menschen werden in 10 Jahren nicht mehr das Sagen haben’
Frank Bergman
27. Juli 2026 - 12:22 Uhr
Der Tech-Milliardär Elon Musk hat eine erschreckende Warnung ausgesprochen, dass die Menschen im nächsten Jahrzehnt möglicherweise nicht mehr “die Kontrolle über die Welt haben”, da künstliche Intelligenz darauf zusteuert, die Menschheit zu ersetzen.
Musk gab außerdem bekannt, dass er immer noch davon ausgeht, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass KI ein katastrophales Ergebnis auslösen könnte, bei 10% bis 20% liegt, was die Bedenken unterstreicht, die er seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt äußert.
Der CEO von Tesla und SpaceX machte diese Bemerkungen während eines Interviews mit The Economist im Juli 2026, in dem er seine neueste Einschätzung der KI-Revolution darlegte, die die Welt rasch umgestaltet.

‘Works’ – Saint Elisabeth of the Trinity - I. HEAVEN IN FAITH - Eighth Day – First Prayer; points 26-27; pages 10-11

[Saint Elisabeth of the Trinity/Elizabeth Catez – XIX-XX Century; born: Avord, France/died: Dijon, France; (aged 26); Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Gifted Pianist]
Eighth Day ~ First Prayer
26. “Those whom God has foreknown, He has also predestined to become conformed to the image of His divine Son...
And those whom He has predestined, He has also called; and those whom He has called He has also justified; and those whom He has justified He has also glorified. What then shall we say after that? If God is for us, who can be against us?... Who will separate me from the love of Christ?” (Rom 8:29-31, 35) This is how the mystery of predestination, the mystery of divine election appeared to the enlightened gaze of the Apostle. “Those whom He has foreknown.” Are not we of that number? Cannot God say to our soul what He once said through the voice of His prophet: “I passed by you and saw you. I saw that the time had come for you to be loved. I spread my garment over you. I swore to you to protect …More

Yes, we have become His through baptism, that is what Paul means by these words: “He called them”; yes, called to receive the seal of the Holy Trinity; at the same time we have been made, in the words of St. Peter, “sharers in the divine nature,” (2 Pe 1:4) we have received “a beginning of His existence.” (Heb 3:14) "

Pavel had lied and said, Russia wanted to suppress and control him. I thought that was pretty underhanded of him to lie like that and try to make out as if Russia was trying to control him. They were trying to get him to block terrorists. But he kept refusing. There are also scams from Ukraine wiping out bank accounts on the elderly and young women. Just like they do everywhere else. Including America! I was not happy with his lying about Russia. And I don't trust him. He refused to block anyone who was dangerous. Then what's there to trust?

Telegram founder wanted in Russia for enabling Ukrainian terrorism

The Federal Security Service has accused Pavel Durov of facilitating the recruitment of dozens of criminals on his platform Telegram founder Pavel Durov is wanted in Russia for allegedly allowing Ukrainian special services to recruit Russian citizens for terrorist activities, the Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Wednesday. The accusation was brought up over an investigation into a particular Telegram channel dedicated to dating. According to the FSB, Ukrainian agents routinely posed there as romantically-inclined girls seeking minor gifts from potential suitors. After paying for one, the target would then be pressured by the Ukrainians posing as Russian law enforcement, claiming that they had unwittingly helped Kiev’s war efforts, but could get some slack by cooperating with fake officials. That way, confused young men could be pushed into carrying out actual crimes, like arson attacks or serving as couriers for money laundering. Durov was singled out as the platform’s owner …

Medjugorje's Answer Was Not Anger; It Was Prayer, Forgiveness, and Hope - Shalom World News
They covered Our Lady with paint. They tried to scar a place of prayer. But they could not extinguish what lives in the hearts of believers. The wounds inflicted on the sacred spaces of Medjugorje have already begun to heal. Volunteers and parish workers immediately came together to clean, restore, and prepare the sanctuary once again, ensuring that every pilgrim can continue to encounter Christ in prayer under the loving gaze of the Queen of Peace. Yet the most powerful response has not been brushes, water, or repairs—it has been the Gospel. For more than forty years, Our Lady's message in Medjugorje has remained the same: pray, fast, forgive, and choose peace. In the face of hatred, the parish has chosen mercy. Instead of anger, it offers forgiveness. Instead of condemnation, it prays for the conversion of those responsible, asking that God's grace touch their hearts and lead them back to the …More

Medjugorjes Antwort war nicht Wut; sie war Gebet, Vergebung und Hoffnung - Shalom World News
Sie beschmierten die Muttergottes mit Farbe. Sie versuchten, einen Ort des Gebets zu entstellen. Doch sie konnten nicht auslöschen, was in den Herzen der Gläubigen lebt. Die Wunden, die den heiligen Stätten von Medjugorje zugefügt wurden, beginnen bereits zu heilen. Freiwillige und Gemeindemitarbeiter schlossen sich sofort zusammen, um das Heiligtum zu reinigen, zu restaurieren und erneut vorzubereiten, damit jeder Pilger Christus weiterhin im Gebet unter dem liebevollen Blick der Königin des Friedens begegnen kann. Doch die stärkste Antwort waren nicht Pinsel, Wasser oder Reparaturen – es war das Evangelium. Seit über vierzig Jahren ist die Botschaft der Muttergottes in Medjugorje dieselbe: beten, fasten, vergeben und den Frieden wählen. Angesichts des Hasses hat die Gemeinde die Barmherzigkeit gewählt. Statt Zorn bietet sie Vergebung an. Statt Verurteilung betet sie für die Bekehrung der …More

The New Civil Code Draft: A Dictatorship in the ‘Political Opening’?

– Folha de S. Paulo, May 16, 1984 –
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
We still live — and increasingly so — under the banner of openness. Therefore, comments on current Brazilian affairs often mention this.
‘Openness’ here means the freedom for everyone to think, speak, act, move freely, and do more or less whatever they want; a freedom that constantly expands and therefore has no clear limits.
Many believed that once this freedom was established, everything in the country would be heading toward resolution. They overlooked that liberalizations without clear boundaries neither create nor strengthen true freedom. Since they tend to allow everyone to do whatever they want, these liberalizations can actually lead to chaos, and eventually to an even worse dictatorship.
In fact, undefined liberalization inevitably turns chaotic, and gradually, a terrible enemy emerges before them. This enemy is an unwritten law, not created through legislation, but painfully real, howling, originating from the …More

Does your country or state look like this?

We are experiencing a huge rise in our food bills. And many foods are disappearing. Many people can't afford to eat a decent meal anymore. With the west and US trying to cripple Russia and starve her, it is obvious it isn't working. Instead it has backfired on us. I think there were close to 40,000 sanctions on Russia in the beginning of this year. Trump put more on them. And not only planning to put a huge package of sanctions on Russia, but he is encouraging everyone else to do the same.
I will first post this video. Don't go beyond the food market. He made me very hungry. 😬 After the market he will do a small walk around the city of Saint Petersburg. Then he is stuffing his face again. So be ready. He orders two different soups. Stroganoff, fish and other delicious foods. Where did he put all that food? Your guess is as good as mine.
