Whether photographers are deliberately playing with “devilish” visuals or are simply catching them by accident, is a discussion readers can debate in the comment section, but for the second time since September 2014, Barack Obama has been captured with what appears to be “devil horns,” as shown in the photo above.

pope Francis does not have long to go as pope from what is observed so far by his visit here. Twice he was caught dosing off, (falling asleep) Once standing at the white house ceremony’s and the other at Mass. My concern is that we need these two other major events to bring Christ back. One date setting Easter and another papal center in Jerusalem. Another A/C pope would add at least one more year before Christs return. MORE

The Christan family has been almost completely eliminated.

The U.S. birth rate dipped in 2011 to the lowest ever recorded, led by a plunge in births to immigrant women since the onset of the Great Recession.

The overall U.S. birth rate, which is the annual number of births per 1,000 women in the prime childbearing ages of 15 to 44, declined 8% from 2007 to 2010. The birth rate for U.S.-born women decreased 6% during these years, but the birth rate for foreign-born women plunged 14%—more than it had declined over the entire 1990-2007 period.¹ The birth rate for Mexican immigrant women fell even more, by 23%.

The Synod of the Ukrainian orthodox Greek-Catholic Church by the grace of the Holy Trinity and under the patronage of the Most Holy Mother of God considered the critical situation in the Catholic Church, namely: violation of the saving faith in the Catholic Church and acceptance of a new teaching and a different spirit which is contrary to the fundamental truths of the Gospel and the Apostolic Tradition.

On 5 April 2011 the Synod resolved to establish the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate. The mission and purpose – to unite all believers who desire to preserve the sacred deposit of the Catholic faith, regardless of nationality or belonging to any of the Catholic Churches or traditions. MORE

Scrambling to address a growing Syrian refugee crisis, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced Sunday that the United States would significantly increase the number of worldwide migrants it takes in over the next two years, though not by nearly the amount many activists and former officials have urged.

The U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and that total would rise to 100,000 in 2017, Kerry said at news conference with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier after they discussed the mass migration of Syrians fleeing their civil war. MORE

With a lack of overnight economic data to consume, we are left to reflect on yesterday’s Federal Reserve decision to keep interest rates at 0.25%. While their justification to do so seems understandable – a lack of inflation remains concerning as does economic weakness in emerging markets – what is most curious is the negative response by the crude complex. Despite a weakening dollar (a stronger dollar was highlighted as another pillar of pain upholding the decision not to raise rates), oil prices have shown downside movement ever since. It raises the question: what would prices have done if they had raised rates?! MORE

After weeks of dancing around the issue, the Obama administration has expressed concern about “heightened military activity” by Russia in Syria.

But what if we are facing something more than “heightened military activity?” What if Moscow is preparing to give Syria the full Putin treatment?

For years, Russia has been helping Syrian despot Bashar al-Assad cling to a diminishing power structure in a shrinking territorial base without trying to impose an overall strategy.
