Jerry Jones: ‘We’re going to respect the flag’
Controversy over protests during the national anthem simmered down in Week 4 after a leaguewide spread following President Trump’s September criticism. But the political brushfire flared right back up again in Week 5 thanks to Vice President Mike Pence’s highly publicized walkout from an Indianapolis Colts game, a protest of the protests apparently orchestrated by President Trump himself. Later in the day, following a last-second loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke at length on the protests. MORE
The Forty Seven Year on-going Traditional Catholic Problem
Pope Leo XIII in his Encyclical on “The Unity of the Church,” indicates to us that, it is as wrong to divide the Church as it is to fall into heresy. Why is it then that unity among the Traditionalists is lacking? Sure most agree that the V-2 Council is not Catholic and we all wish to preserve the Faith as it was at least before the new Pentecost, but that’s where it ends. Continue reading

US opens 1st permanent military base in Israel
Will the U.S. Embassy be next? Or (pope) Francis?
Even though the US has routinely deployed forces to Israel, it is only now opening an official permanent military base in the country. The move, largely seen as symbolic, is meant to send a strong message to Israel’s enemies.
It will be a “base within a base,” located inside the Israeli Air Force’s Mashabim Air Base in the middle of the Negev desert, close to a US military radar installation east of Dimona that tracks ballistic missiles. MORE

Was Paddock’s Killing Racial and Anti-Establishment?
Paddock’s life had very little meaning. No religion, didn’t seem affiliated with any particular groups. I notice that his previous wife of 5 years was Japanese’s or at least had a Japanese name. He had many skills and good paying jobs, one of which was an accountant.I’m sure Paddock was well aware that Las Vegas was originally controlled by Mormons and then became partners with the Jewish Mob’s in the 40’s. So without a doubt he was aware that minorities were discriminated against and for the most part not wanted in Las Vegas.
Dubai dreams of flying taxis darting among its skyscrapers
With a whirling buzz from 18 rotors, the pilotless helicopter gently lifted off the ground and soared up into the afternoon sky, the spire of the world’s tallest building visible behind it.
The recent unmanned flight by the German-made electric Volocopter represents the latest step in Dubai’s pursuit of flying taxis, which would not seem out of place among the Gulf city’s already futuristic skyline — imagine “Blade Runner,” with less rain. MORE

Kneel during the national anthem, the continuation of a tradition?
Maybe so but the Tradition changed.DETROIT (AP) — When football players kneel during the national anthem, Mark Clague sees the continuation of a tradition as old as the song itself.
The University of Michigan musicology professor and expert on “The Star-Spangled Banner” said the song has been a channel for protest since at least 1844, three decades after Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics during a pivotal battle against the British in the War of 1812. MORE
The old maxim is entirely true; as goes the Church, so goes the world.
The old maxim is entirely true; as goes the Church, so goes the world. One can plainly see today’s world is completely falling apart and at every level. Logic and reasoning, gone, the weather conditions and Chaos around the world.
