I am thrilled that President Trump won. Nothing could please me more, politically and spiritually speaking, than handing a defeat to the Democrats/cultural Marxists.

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, in going around preaching the Gospel like a good bishop but not trying to continue his firebrand preaching….

Obama got 69 million votes in 2008 and 65 million in 2012. Sleepy Joe got 81 million four years ago. Biden did…

The Ravens are playoff-bound, and the youth-strapped Orioles made it to the postseason again. All was right on Baltimore’s harbor Wednesday—perfect even—as joggers politely zig-zagged through the…
