The Vatican's doctrine office went above and beyond the minimal sanctions foreseen by the church's canon law to respond to the consecrations Wednesday of four new bishops at the society's Econe, Switzerland, seminary.

The Vatican responded aggressively Thursday to a traditionalist society that consecrated bishops without the pope's consent, declaring the Society of St. Pius X in schism, excommunicating its bishops and priests and warning its faithful they too face the harshest sanctions in the Catholic Church.

The society, known by its acronym SSPX, celebrates the ancient Latin Mass and opposes the modernizing reforms of the Catholic Church, which it considers to be rife with heresies and errors.

During a ritual-filled, five-hour Mass on Wednesday, attended by some 15,500 people and their children, the SSPX consecrated four new bishops in direct defiance of Pope Leo XIV, who had urged the SSPX to hold off for the sake of the church's unity.

Federal prosecutors on June 30 were directed to prioritize investigations into "birth tourism" schemes after the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants.

Colin McDonald, the Justice Department's assistant attorney general for fraud, said in a memo to department employees that the U.S. immigration system is being exploited by foreign nationals who travel to the country "under false pretenses" to give birth and secure U.S. citizenship for their children.

He instructed all U.S. attorneys and the Criminal Division to work with the Department of Homeland Security to investigate and prosecute those involved in such schemes.

Comment: It's about time the DOJ cracked down:



Add the problem of "temporary workers" who are here on supposedly limited visas, yet finagle ways to bring their whole family over:

The 'warmth of collectivism': Mamdani begs NYC to set AC to 78F to avert risk of grid failure

"Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can," New York City Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani wrote on X late Wednesday.

New Yorkers are now getting a real-world lesson in what Mamdani's recent "warmth of collectivism" comments actually mean: shared sacrifice, including being told to dial back air conditioning during blistering heat as the risk of power blackouts rises.

The deeper issue here is that years of left-wing climate policies and poor grid management have left the metro area and the broader region increasingly vulnerable during peak-demand hours.

Western media distorting Ukraine battlefield reality - Dutch journalist

Sonja van den Ende RT
Western media and politicians are misleading the public by hyping Kiev's attacks on Russia while ignoring the devastating losses suffered by Ukrainian forces, independent Dutch journalist Sonja van den Ende has told RT.

In an interview on Sunday, van den Ende argued that while headlines are dominated by Ukrainian strikes on Russian fuel refineries, which are presented as signs of Moscow's weakness, there is little coverage of Kiev's military casualties.

"About 2 million dead soldiers or dead servicemen from Ukraine. So this is not, this is not really headlines," she stated, emphasizing that such figures are buried deep in articles if mentioned at all by Western outlets.

She added that coverage of strikes inside Russia serves as "a distraction" from Kiev's problems.

Supreme Court rules that states can ban trans athletes from girls' sports

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that states can block biological transgender males from competing in girls' sports. In a 6-3 ruling, the court gave an iron-clad answer to the question.

Writing for the majority in West Virginia v. B.P.J. (consolidated with Little v. Hecox), Justice Brett Kavanaugh held that neither Title IX nor the Equal Protection Clause requires schools to carve out an exception for transgender athletes who've undergone hormone therapy or never experienced male puberty. States can draw the line at biological sex, full stop - no judge-administered athlete-by-athlete fairness hearings required. The ruling reverses both the Fourth Circuit (which sided with West Virginia's B.P.J.) and the Ninth Circuit (which sided with Idaho's Lindsay Hecox), and lands squarely in the wake of last year's Skrmetti decision, extending its "this is a sex classification, not a transgender classification" framework from medical care straight into the locker room.

UK: Parents risk prison if they try to talk their child out of life-altering trans treatment

Parents, teachers and doctors risk up to five years in jail if they try to talk their children out of irreversible trans treatments under a "dangerous" new law, campaigners have warned. The Telegraph has the story.

On Thursday, Olivia Bailey, the Equalities Minister, published a draft bill to ban conversion therapy, which aims to suppress or change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.

The bill states that people who use physical or psychological abuse to prevent children from saying they are gay or transgender could face up to five years in jail if convicted.

Critics warn this could put parents and teachers at risk of police investigation and possible jail time for having honest conversations with children.

Comment: The hypocrisy of attempting to change a child's sex, rather than accepting the possibility of them being gay is utterly lost on these people. It's closet homophobia at its most deranged.

Why 40 per cent of people are avoiding the news, according to a psychologist

newspapers
Two people in bed reading different sections of a newspaper.
We are the same species as we were thousands of years ago; what has changed is the size of the world our brain is being asked to scan for threats.
During several recent conversations, people have told me that they've stopped checking their phones in the morning. Not because nothing was happening, but because everything was. They described the feeling as standing under a waterfall of perpetual bad news.

This experience is far from an isolated one. According to Reuters Institute's 2025 Digital News Report, 69 per cent of Canadians at least occasionally avoid the news now.

Globally, 40 per cent report they at least sometimes or often do the same, the highest figure ever recorded. People shared consistent reasons for this: the news put them in a bad mood, they felt overwhelmed and powerless to act.

As a researcher in developmental psychology, focusing on social development and psychological well-being, I argue that news fatigue is not laziness, weakness or a generational decline in civic interest. It's the predictable response of a human brain meeting an environment it was never designed to navigate.

Comment: As mentioned in this research forum by one astute observer of the news: "If some people are engaging in active ignorance of their reality, they're going to be fed whatever the Control System wants to feed them...".

Clown show: Dutch professor argues that time itself is racist, posits "White time"

Florentine Paolo Uccello (1397-1475) ‘Clock with Heads of Prophets,’
We have previously discussed how many professors seem to compete in finding new forms of racism in every facet of society and education. Astrophysics, math, runoffs, science, statistics, and meritocracy have all been denounced as racist. In this academic cottage industry, professors secure publications and speaking opportunities by identifying racism in the expressions, images, or entire fields. It was, therefore, only a matter of time before time itself was declared racist.

Zakia Essanhaji, a professor of "organizational ethnography" at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, is the latest to make the case against "white time." Her recent paper titled "Academic time theft: stealing time, producing racialized inclusion in Dutch academia" builds on prior work condemning time as racist.

Rutgers Women's and Gender Studies/Africana Studies Professor Brittney Cooper has also written about how time is racist. Mainstream media has positively cooed at the suggestion, including an interview with NPR. Cooper claimed that "white people own time" after framing the concept of time in "histories of European and Western thought."

Unhinged German feminist activist calls for White people to stop having children and accept refugee

'My bloodline ends with me. So I would take all immigrants and refugees in because we ruined the world, so to speak."

Germany's Verena Brunschweiger, a self-described "radical feminist," is promoting the slogan: "My lineage ends with me." She says she hopes to encourage people, especially White people, to stop having children.

She claims that Western pro-natalists only want to "control women, and keep refugees out."

The article on her views, from Australian broadcaster news.com.au, is entitled: "'My bloodline ends with me': Why feminist 'childfree icon' wants fewer 'white babies' and more refugees"

The report quoted her as saying: "We have a proud slogan, 'My bloodline ends with me.' I think this is a responsible choice."

Comment: This lunatic child-woman needs a good spanking. Alice Weidel of the AfD would be the perfect person to deliver it. She has gone from 'right-wing extremist' to Germany's voice of sanity, calling out the globalists' onslaught.

It's all they've got now

". . . there is no saving the Left. Whatever happens to them, it will have to happen without people like you or me trying to get them to return to any place of sanity."
— Sasha Stone on Substack
A punishing heat-dome creeps over the eastern half of the country just in time for the gala Fourth of July week. The days are brutal, but anything and everything crawls out of the woodwork when that blazing sun goes down and the moon comes out. Everyone's on edge, but the edge of what? I will tell you.

First, could there be a richer (or more obvious) target for bloody mischief than this year's national holiday, the 250th birthday of a nation that millions lucky enough to live here have been trained-up to hate on? Even the sons and daughters (including pretend "daughters") of millionaires have gone mad-dog on America, the poster-boy being Marxist-jihadi New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Left's new avatar-general.

Since no one is more hated than the, ahem, Celebrator-in-Chief, you might want to steer clear of conspicuous public celebrations this week. Antifa and even worse gangs are out there right now, making plans and laying traps. Maybe not so much in places like Texas, where eight Antifas were just sentenced collectively to 450 years in the slammer for shooting up the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado. . . but here in the Empire State and other Blue-ish jurisdictions, all bets are off. Be careful 'out there' among the smokin' ribs, the fireworks shows, and big music venues.
