The writing scrawled across bare plaster inside the Cedar Run apartment block would become an epitaph for many who passed through it.
“In loving memory of those lost in drugland,” it read.
Drug Enforcement Agents were struck by the graffiti when they stormed the building with smoke bombs last week as part of a series of raids across Denver and Aurora, two of Colorado’s biggest cities.
I miss Rush Limbaugh. During the Biden years, I couldn’t help imagining him up in Heaven begging God to put him back in the game. Today, I imagine him sitting in a bar smoking a cigar with Ronald Reagan and buying a round for the house every time a new EO drops. When he was here, however, there were a few things that he used to say that I loved because of their clarity. He always pointed out that illegal immigration was all about votes and that Democrats were hypocrites on the issue. He’d suggest that if it was really compassion that drove the issue, the solution was simple: immediately legalize them with the caveat that they could never vote. Democrats, of course, never went for it.
The official Catholic teaching balances charity with common sense. JD Vance understands that; Pope Francis does not.
In 1571, Pope Pius V created the Holy League, organizing the Catholic states of Europe in a coalition to end Ottoman control of the Eastern Mediterranean, and to protect Europe from Islamic invasion. The naval Battle of Lepanto that year resulted in the near-total destruction of the Ottoman fleet by the Christian forces, and bought Europe time. The final assault of the Ottoman Empire on Europe would come just over a century later, at the gates of Vienna, where the Europeans defeated the Turks for all time.
The point is this: the Catholic Church once had a pope who defended Western civilization. That was then. Now it has Pope Francis.
Newly sworn-in Attorney General Pam Bondi held her first U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) press briefing Wednesday where she announced federal charges filed against the state of New York, specifically Gov. Kathy Hochul, the state’s AG Letitia James, and Commissioner Mark Schroeder of the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Republicans in Congress are seeking to crack down on nongovernmental organizations receiving millions of dollars in federal funding while helping people who violate immigration laws.
The legislation comes as religious charities have been in the spotlight for their work helping migrants in the country illegally while receiving significant sums from the federal government.
Denmark’s strict immigration policies resulted in the granting of 860 asylum requests last year, the lowest number bar 2020, when Covid-19 lockdowns halted new arrivals.
Denmark’s immigration approach has been influenced by Right-wing parties for more than 20 years, with Mette Frederiksen, the prime minister and leader of the centre-Left Social Democrats, pursuing a “zero refugee” policy since coming to power in 2019.
The country of around six million people received 2,300 asylum requests last year.
Platitudes and press statements will not be enough to confront the depraved evils of human trafficking.
America’s Catholic bishops are decrying the evils of human trafficking, while ignoring their own role in facilitating the dehumanizing practice amidst the illegal immigration crisis. Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, Texas, chairman of immigration activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), said in a statement Thursday, “Human trafficking is not only a serious crime — it is a rejection of the God-given dignity of every human being.”
“I’ve talked to little girls as young as nine who were raped multiple times by members of the cartel. Not once, numerous times.”
Police in a wealthy enclave outside of New York City are assuring concerned residents that they will not be assisting federal immigration authorities in deporting local service workers.
Local officials in East Hampton, a town in the eastern part of Long Island, met with worried residents earlier this week to discuss President Donald Trump’s mass deportation program and how it might impact their community.
Police chief Michael Sarlo emphasized that officers are not agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and will only execute criminal warrants signed by a judge.

OTTAWA — Provinces that are sending conservation officers and other local authorities to patrol the Canada-U.S. border are setting up what the president of the union representing border officers calls “history’s most expensive taxi service,” given that anyone caught crossing illegally must ultimately be delivered to border agents.
Canada faces calls to suspend asylum agreement with U.S., saying Trump orders undermine migrants’ rights
The federal government is facing calls to suspend a long-standing agreement with the U.S. to return asylum seekers at the border, with immigration experts saying the United States should no longer be considered a safe place for people fleeing persecution.
They say U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive orders that make it easier to deport or detain migrants – including plans to hold 30,000 migrants accused of criminality in Guantanamo Bay – undermine their rights to such an extent that Canada should halt returning asylum seekers to the U.S.
As protests against mass deportations continue at Los Angeles and other American cities, Republican members of Congress are growing increasingly irate with crowds forcing the shutdowns of major highways — so much so that one is reintroducing a bill to make the act a federal-level crime.
“I will soon reintroduce legislation to make blocking a highway intentionally a federal crime,” a Republican from Georgia, Congressman Mike Collins, said in a post on X in response to reports from KTLA showing video footage of the 101 freeway at Los Angeles being blocked by protesters on Sunday.

For years, loads of cash, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, have bolstered migrant resettlement services, often administered by faith-based nonprofits. In fiscal year 2024 alone, the U.S. government spent more than $2.7 billion on “refugee and entrant assistance” programs, and more than $1 billion went to nonprofits connected to four major Christian denominations: Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, and the United Methodist Church.
They choose to harm their fellow citizens.
President Trump is making good on his campaign promise of deporting illegal aliens. So, of course, various self-described Christian leaders are outraged.
Mariann Budde, the Episcopalian “bishop” who reportedly owns a $2 million D.C. mansion, has drawn much attention to herself due to her lecture at the Washington National Cathedral. “I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde said to Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance at the inaugural prayer service, adding that “the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals” but are “good neighbors” and members of religious communities.
Space constraints and legal limits are forcing the freeing of detainees despite administration’s tough stance.
With more than 8,000 immigrants arrested by federal agents since President Trump arrived back at the White House, some have already been released back into America despite the promise of mass deportation.
With the number of arrests increasing, space constraints at Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities, and federal court orders that forbid indefinite detention, ICE officials have been forced to release some of those arrested as an alternative to holding them until deportation can be completed, according to a report from NBC News.
I trust Homan to work this out.
