Severe heatwave is affecting Japan just several days after historic rainfall and one of the worst flooding disasters in country’s history left more than 220 people dead. The current heatwave is the result of the layering of two high pressure systems over much of Japan and is expected to continue for the rest of the week, if not longer, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said.

No public official should be allowed to stay on the job or run for office who are over 75 years of age. Senators McCain and Feinstein are two examples who need to step down. McCain has brain cancer and Feinstein may need a wheel chair to get around with soon. Most of these elderly will most likely die in office and will need to be replaced anyway. So save the taxpayers the added expense by keeping those elderly out in the first place.
A California man who allegedly attacked his wife with a chainsaw is an illegal alien who has been deported at least 11 times since 2005, immigration officials confirmed Friday.
Alejandro Alvarez Villegas, 32, was arrested Thursday in Chula Vista, California, a suburb of San Diego, on allegations that he tried to kill his wife with a chainsaw in front of their three children.
Alvarez has a long record of being deported and returning to the U.S., according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). MORE
All priests should offer up prayers at Mass this Sunday for a successful conclusion between President Trump and Putin, as well with all Catholics.
That the nominee for the country’s highest bench should pop up in photos volunteering for a Catholic aid group is no surprise at this point. When Trump announced his selection, Kavanaugh talked about being “part of the vibrant Catholic community in the D.C. area … united by a commitment to serve.” He also gave a nod to schooling: “The motto of my Jesuit high school was ‘Men for others.’ I’ve tried to live that creed.”
Kavanaugh’s inclusion on the court would preserve the Catholic majority, with six justices reared and formed in that tradition. (Neil Gorsuch attends an Episcopal Church but grew up Catholic and attended the same Catholic high school as Kavanaugh.)
The remaining three justices are Jewish. MORE

Dear Reader:
On July 7 the President of the Philippines, during a Science Conference, rejected the concept of original sin and redemption as also the proliferation of seers claiming to see God. Continue reading
Professor John McAdams stood against “gay” marriage at a Marquette University, in Wisconsin, which claims to be a “Catholic” run by the Marxist Newjesuit Order, to which Newpope Francis-Bergoglio himself belongs. For doing his job as a Catholic, he was suspended indefinitely without pay by the Newjesuits. But the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned the corrupt Newjesuits and ruled that they had violated McAdams’ right to free speech and the guarantee of academic freedom that the Newjesuits had given him in his contract to teach. The court ordered that he be “restored immediately with his full rank, tenure, compensation, and benefits.” Continue reading
If someone told you that Catholicism was a religion of world domination, you might be taken aback, even shocked. But if you were an instructed social Catholic you would, on reflection, see that there is an essential truth in this crudely put statement. You might respond by agreeing, but adding the rider that the Catholic religion seeks to dominate the world not by arms, but by alms; alms not so much for the materially poor as for the spiritually poor.

Obviously Bishop Williamson’s restoration following are ecstatic over Bishop Fellays demise. Whether or not this will bring the two groups together remains to be seen. Most likely, the new superior Father Davide Pagliarani, will cancel the negotiations with Rome, for now. Unfortunately this could hurt the Sede Vacantes who have gotten some of the SSPX people who left because of Bishop Fellays negotiations with (pope) Francis. For the most part, I would say that most of the SSPX people are relieved over the anxiety that Bishop Fellay was causing among themselves.
