Friends, please pray for the entire Kirk family, who learned they'll wait until at least June 2028 for justice, news likely made doubly painful by remarks about Charlie this week that are beneath contempt.

On the “I’ve Had It” podcast, so-called culture commentators Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan laughed at the idea of digging up Charlie’s body and “doing it again.”

Then Dave Chappelle told a sold-out Madison Square Garden that “life got better” after Charlie was murdered, and that Charlie is now “looking up, laughing so hard he can’t breathe.”

I have often defended comedians, and I understand that pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable is part of the gig. But this is different.

This is laughing at the murder of a young husband and father of two small children, who was killed with a microphone in his hand, inviting those who disagreed with him into honest, respectful dialogue. Shame on you.

There have always been people in the fever swamps who cheer when someone dies. What is new is that it now comes from the main stage and is met with applause.

How did we get here?

This is what a culture looks like when it drifts away from God. Remove God, and with him any sense of the transcendent and the sacred, our objective sense of what is true and good is left in ruins.

What remains is relativism, “my truth” and “your truth,” and finally a game of power: my team against yours. In a world like that, a man's death can become a punchline.

Charlie understood this cultural disease and spent much of his life trying to heal it. It's why he went onto hostile campuses to sit with young people, many of them unmoored and unaffiliated, and make the case for God, for truth, and for a moral order beyond themselves. He listened patiently, argued charitably, and spoke openly about Jesus Christ.

It is my hope, then, that many more will take up this vital part of Charlie's work.

The United States will always remain One Nation Under God.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, Catholic social teaching holds two things together: a nation has the right, and the duty, to regulate its borders, and every migrant is a person of incomparable dignity who deserves generosity.

In January, amid the tensions in Minnesota, I proposed that enforcement focus on those who have committed serious crimes. Last year, together with my brother bishops of Minnesota, I called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. What the President described Sunday in his 60 Minutes interview about immigration is very much in that spirit.

The President now proposes working with Democrats toward a solution that involves a properly regulated border, the deportation of people who have committed serious crimes, and a generous approach toward those who have been non-violent and have contributed to the economy. He even admitted that the enforcement of his immigration policy has been too tough.

That is the balance the Church’s teaching points toward. We have waited years for a solution to this thorny problem. I would strongly encourage leaders in both parties to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity.

Tennessee’s atmosphere for an big time night game is still elite. I can’t stand them but there is no doubt it has an effect

Nashville Predators honor Dolly Parton, wear “Dolly” nameplates during warmups.

Looks like only Pat McAFEE is rolling with the Cats

[Pat McAfee @PatMcAfeeShow]

Kentucky is 7-1 and Will Stein is putting defenses in hell..

Kenny Minchey is operating this offense perfectly

#CollegeGameDay

[Cats Coverage @Cats_Coverage]

Kentucky quarterback Kenny Minchey has been officially named a Heisman candidate. 🤯

It’s a long stretch, but he has the 14th best odds as of Week 10 of the season to win the award.

The only positive I see from last night is that Americans will now get a two year showcase on what socialism really looks like, and feels like. It will be ugly, and leave a lasting impression. 2028 will be Socialism vs Capitalism.
I'm at peace, because The Lord is in control.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

This is maybe the most thorough and honest diagnosis of an election defeat that we’ve ever seen from a politician at Vance’s level. And he’s right.

UK Football fans should really take a second and soak this in

Kentucky being #6 in the Playoff rankings in November of Will Stein’s first year is an amazing achievement

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

Praying for the United States today. Let God's will be done.

[Pat McAfee @PatMcAfeeShow]

Sooooo… The Jeffery Simmons trade just completely shifted the entire NFL?!?

This dude’s UNBLOCKABLE

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

This post has 3 million views which is insane.

Hollywood has become so morally bankrupt that a studio promising no sex scenes, no nudity, no F-word, and no misuse of God’s name is considered groundbreaking.

This is the kind of Hollywood revolution I can get behind! #AngelPartner

@alexathallow AMEN!!!

[Alex at Hallow @alexathallow]

I would rather shut down Hallow than have it be a substitute for Mass.

Hallow exists to help you pray.

The summit of your prayer life will never be on an app.
