WYNK: This is Kamala Kollapse week. I have been saying for months that the news and pollsters have been lying, and that her campaign would fall apart before the election. Two groups are going to vote in unexpected ways. Minority men are swaying toward Trump more than they have toward any other Republican. The other group is ethnic Catholics. Irish, Polish, and Vietnamese Catholics liked Biden because he was a Kennedy cultural Catholic. Now Biden is off the ticket, and Robert Kennedy Jr. backed Trump. Minority men and ethnic Catholic voters are typically Democrat demographics, but now the polls are cratering for the Harris campaign. Kenneth Timmerman, author of 14 non-fiction books, most recently The Iran House, as well as 4 novels, joins Ed to discuss his recent article Democrats' decades of bargaining have only empowered Iran's tyrannical leaders — and made us less safe. Kenneth explains the seriousness of Iran's threats against Donald Trump, as well as Biden's ties to Iran. He also drills down on the core of our history of conflict with Iran. John Schlafly, co-author of the weekly Schlafly Report, talks about how Trump getting shot brought many people to his side. John also tells us about the state of the race, and how we are looking and hoping for evidence of a wave that will give Trump the November election. Wrap Up: Go vote! It is incredibly important that you show up and vote. Make a plan to vote. Think it through if you are voting in person so things do not get in the way! Vote straight ticket Republican. Next, be pushy. Encourage your friends to vote!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

3/6/24 - In the 18th century, during a time of religious persecution in Vietnam, many Catholics found refuge in the forests of La Vang. One night, while seeking shelter and praying for protection, the Vietnamese Catholics witnessed a vision of Our Lady, Mary. From her miraculous appearances to the faithful at the site of La Vang, to the enduring devotions and pilgrimages that continue to this day, the story of Our Lady of La Vang is one of hope, faith, and love.

Today is the feast of some 19th century Vietnamese martyrs. Father Kubicki remembers in a special way all Vietnamese Catholics today and invites us to reflect on one particular martyr, who wrote inspirational words while in a communist prison.

While some of the information was first published in 1961, the full documentation, particularly the lists of people hidden in the Catholic institutions, had been considered lost, a September 7 press release explained. The Nazis occupied Rome from September 10, 1943, until June 4, 1944, when the city was liberated by the Allied forces. During that nine-month period, approximately 10,000-15,000 Jews faced persecution, and almost 2,000 Jews, including children and adolescents, were deported and murdered. The newly rediscovered documentation references more than 4,300 people hidden by 100 women's religious congregations and 55 men's religious congregations during the persecution. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255301/documents-identify-thousands-of-jews-hidden-by-catholic-religious-during-nazi-occupation-of-rome In a September 6 hearing, Representative Chris Smith accused the government of Azerbaijan of committing genocide against Armenian Christians in disputed territory in the country. During the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission meeting, Smith criticized the Azerbaijani government for continuing its blockade of the Lachin corridor, which is the only road that connects Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255308/lawmaker-accuses-azerbaijan-of-genocide-seeks-answers-on-biden-admin-s-plan A delegation of 90 Vietnamese Catholics and seven bishops traveled to Mongolia last weekend for the chance to see Pope Francis and deliver a special message. Unlike Mongolia, which has one of the smallest Catholic populations in the world, Vietnam is home to millions of Catholics, yet no pope has ever visited the southeast Asian country. Vietnam and the Holy See have never had full diplomatic relations, a usual prerequisite for a papal trip, but Vietnamese Catholics remain convinced that a papal visit could have a positive impact on the situation facing Christians in the socialist country. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255302/catholics-in-vietnam-ask-pope-francis-to-visit-their-country-next Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The circumstances of the Virgin Mary's infancy and early life are not directly recorded in the Bible, but other documents and traditions describing the circumstances of her birth are cited by some of the earliest Christian writers from the first centuries of the Church. These accounts, although not considered authoritative in the same manner as the Bible, outline some of the Church's traditional beliefs about the birth of Mary, including the belief that her parents decided that she would be offered to God as a consecrated Virgin for the rest of her life, and enter a chaste marriage with the carpenter Joseph. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/the-birth-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary-357

Our Lady of La Vang, Vietnamese Catholics, and martyrs

We like to imagine that our understanding of the past is well rounded. But history has secrets and, too often, we’ve settled for incomplete stories. Mostly, we know tales that are loud, bold, and dominant.  They dictate what stories are told... and what is left to be forgotten. Today, Professor Kevin Lewis O’Neill sits down with Professor Nhung Tran to look at the lives of Vietnamese Catholics in the seventeenth century. They discuss how taking a closer look and reading between the lines can unlock the secrets that the dead leave behind and shift the narrative of our past. -- This podcast is sponsored by the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies at the University of Toronto. Our Host is Professor Kevin Lewis O'Neill. Between, Across, & Through is produced, edited, and mixed by Ianeke L Romero.

The relationship between religion, imperialism, and national identity can be quite complex. At the same time, nationalist readings of history, particularly when they are combined with other ideological perspectives, can easily provide reductionist narratives that do not due full justice to these complicated realities. The history of Catholicism in Vietnam is a case in point, as nationalist and Communist histories tend to present the Catholic Church as the friend of French colonialism with Catholic apologists defending their Church's role in Vietnamese history in accordance with nationalist standards. In his book, Catholic Vietnam: A Church from Empire to Nation (University of California Press, 2012), Dr. Charles Keith challenges such overly simple narratives by tracing the transformations in the Catholic Church in Vietnam from the pre-colonial, through the colonial, to the post-liberation periods (ending in approximately 1954). For instance, through his careful, rich, and detailed study, Keith shows how Vietnamese Catholics could remain Catholic while being at times pro-colonial, anti-colonial, pro-left, anti-Communist, and other places within and without these labels as their community transformed from a colonial to a national Church. Thus, Keith's study is well worth a read for anyone interested in Vietnamese history or the history of Christianity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
