for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Kahn has some twisted views of free speech.


The Washington Free Beacon reported that she “has argued for curtailing the First Amendment and conducted training sessions that say ‘microaggressions’ can ‘kill you.’” So, what’s a

oth Democrats and Republicans are engaged in a political demolition derby over Social Security, Medicare,


and Medicaid. President Biden proposes stiff tax increases to “save” them. Republicans propose to cut benefits to “save” the first two. Both are reminiscent of the Vietnam-era Army major who said, “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.” There is a way of saving them without raising taxes or cutting

Decade of Love for Poor I


t has been 10 years since Pope Francis was elected as the first Jesuit and the first Latin American successor of St.


Peter. His pontificate has been shaped by his love and af inity for the poor and the most vulnerable members of society. Cindy Wooden, Rome bureau chief for the Catholic News


Service, summarized his first decade as follows: “He has made 40 trips abroad, visiting 60 countries; in eight consistories he created 95 cardinals under the age of 80 and eligible to vote in a conclave and paid tribute to 26 churchmen over the age of 80; and he has presided over the canonizations of 911 new saints, including a group of more than 800 martyrs, but also Sts. John Paul II, John XXIII, and Paul VI.”
