During the presidential election, we made note of the new Minnesota flag, which looked like the Somali flag. Why Minnesotans didn’t storm Tim Walz’s office, I can’t say, but they should have. The Minnesota flag was very American. Now it looks like Somalia’s flag. It isn’t surprising. This is the governor who let Minneapolis burn, while his wife left the windows open to smell the burning rubber. A large number of Somalis have defrauded the US of a lot of money, and their Rep. Ilhan Omar hates America. She’s an enemy insurgent, but they keep voting her in, although she rails…

President Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic Dec. 8 raging that the Senate’s blue-slip tradition is holding up his nominees, preventing him from delivering the results voters expected after his decisive 2024 victory. After Trump’s candid words made the rounds in media circles, a clip resurfaced of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s crash-out in July over his decision to keep the “sacred” blue slip precedent in place. It prompted Grassley to defend the Senate tradition once again in an X post Dec. 11. Still, the question remains: What is the blue slip, and why are Republicans allowing Democrats…

Minnesota state Rep. Isaac Schultz criticized a state program that will provide taxpayer-funded health benefits to illegal aliens, warning that the policy will impose a significant financial burden on residents and could encourage additional illegal immigration. Schultz addressed the MinnesotaCare program, which he said will distribute benefits to more than 17,000 illegal aliens during the 2025 fiscal year, with costs borne by Minnesota taxpayers. “This would make Minnesota a magnet for more illegal immigrants,” Schultz said.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is coming under massive criticism for signing a dangerous bill to legalize assisted suicide.

It sets Illinois on a path where the elderly, those with a disability or struggling with serious illness may find themselves pressured—subtly or…

By Joseph Mattera, Op-ed Contributor Saturday, November 29, 2025Getty ImagesI realize the title of this article may sound like an oxymoron. However, the original Protestant Reformers never viewed themselves as abandoning the Catholic Church. The term “Catholic,” which simply means universal, was not synonymous with Roman Catholicism in their minds. They believed they were reforming the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, not departing from it.Consequently, in an age of theological confusion and denominational fragmentation, for the past several decades I found myself increasingly drawn to a vision of the Church that is both ancient and reformational, rooted in the…
