“Only 13% of all American 8th graders can, with basic proficiency, say what the American timeline is.”
“Which is to say less than 15% can accurately say at 8th grade the American Revolution, the Civil War, the First and Second World Wars, etc.”
Timothy Goeglein says America’s education system is failing despite the billions of dollars poured into it every year.

🚨 CHINA’S SNEAKY TAIWAN WARNING TO TRUMP JUST GOT EXPOSED
The real Mandarin phrase Xi dropped was “gǎo huài”… NOT the watered-down English “don’t mess it up.”
Michael Pillsbury: “It’s a warning to Trump.”

Some people think making Catholicism "palatable" to modern culture is good evangelization.
They're wrong.
When you make Catholicism perfectly compatible with the culture, you make it unnecessary.
Why become Catholic if we're just like everyone else?
