Univision Hyped KKK While Membership Was Collapsing
Latino
Chalk up another doozy for fake news at Univision. It turns out that while anchor Jorge Ramos was out visiting with Klansmen to hype his ‘Hate Rising’ narrative in advance of last year’s election, the nation’s historic premier hate group was actually in the midst of a massive collapse in membership.
New Republic Writer Proposes a Lib-State ‘Bluexit’ From America
Separatist and secessionist talk has burgeoned in 21st-century America. The day after the 2004 presidential election, sulky liberals began circulating a map that represented pro-Kerry regions of the country as part of the “United States of Canada” and pro-Bush regions as “Jesusland.” Grouchy conservatives weren’t sure they belonged in a nation that elected and re-elected Barack Obama. Now comes…
WashPost Highlights LGBT-Celebrating ‘Glitter Ash Wednesday’
Culture
While most Catholic folks will have a dull gray mark smudged on their foreheads today, some will proudly sport a bit of purple sparkle. Today is Ash Wednesday—the beginning of Lent and a day when Catholics and some Protestant denominations practice penitence. But thanks to the progressive organization Parity, some church leaders are choosing to work with “glitter ash” in support of the LGBT…
Why ‘When Calls the Heart’ Is a Television Classic
On my blog and readings at The American Spectator, I have repeatedly mentioned how successful the Hallmark Channel has been with family-friendly content rarely seen in the modern television industry. One of its most popular shows is When Calls the Heart, a show produced by Michael Landon, Jr. (the son of Little House on the Prairie star Michael Landon) starring Erin Krakow, Daniel Lissing, Laurie…
ABC Gay Series 'Rise': 'Get Rid of All the Heterosexuals'
Culture

Vox Explains CPAC’s ‘Identity Politics For Aging White Christians'
CPAC, currently going on just outside the Beltway in National Harbor, Maryland, has changed along with the conservative movement, believes Matthew Yglesias. Old-school CPAC, Yglesias contended in a Wednesday piece, was philosophically driven, populated by the sort of activists who “helped [Ronald] Reagan mount a primary challenge to incumbent President Gerald Ford.” In the past fifteen-plus years…

'The Real O'Neals' Declares God Is a Woman Who Looks Like Bea Arthur
Culture
This week ABC’s The Real O’Neals focused on the often-overlooked Catholic sacrament of Confirmation. As Kenny (Noah Galvin) states, it’s an act that “strengthens our bond with the Church.” Sounds like a nice little episode, right? Nope! That connection with the Church apparently extends to seeing God as whatever you want, even a woman. Yeah, nobody shows the bond to Catholic Church stronger than…

'The Young Pope' Finale Hails Atheist Pope as a Saint
Culture
The last, and probably the least, episode of HBO’s The Young Pope aired February 13 and nicely tied together the anti-Catholic theme with liberal arrogance. In the third episode of the show, the Pope (Jude Law) declared, “I believe only in myself.” His words ring true again in the season finale.
CBS’s ‘Kevin Can Wait’ Powerfully Proves God’s Existence
Culture
CBS’s Kevin Can Wait broke away from the typical Hollywood agenda of bashing of Catholics by delivering a superb message confirming God’s existence. On Monday’s episode, “Unholy War,” Kevin is filling in for a Catechism class. A student asks, “Is God real?” Kevin gives a bogus answer about praying for the Mets, resulting in their 1986 World Series victory.
Cardinal Counsels 'Soft' Stance on Abortion on 'The Young Pope'
