Trump at the UN: ‘While others have talked, I have acted’, hits all the high notes: Iran, Cuba, ICC, horror of transitioning kids, Christian persecution; Must read: Patriot’s response to President’s America-first UN speech – ‘one for the ages’; Just one day until beatification of Venerable Sheen – countdown now measured in hours; Check this out: Sheen’s investigation by FBI for criticizing Stalin, beating out Lucille Ball for a 1953 Emmy, becoming first American-born bishop to be named Blessed and just one miracle shy of sainthood; China’s President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington today for 3-day visit; Today Catholics celebrate one of the most beloved saints of the 20th century who famously said: ‘Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer’; and much more —
UN-finished business Trump’s bullish UN speech showed he won’t back down — and now he can truly put America First
People not fully schooled in the ways of Donald Trump might have expected to watch a somewhat chastened and shrunken president address the United Nations Tuesday morning.
People not fully schooled in the ways of Donald Trump might have expected to watch a somewhat chastened and shrunken president address the United Nations Tuesday morning.
After all, the war in Iran has fallen far short of his promise of a quick and decisive victory.
And because the American economy has been battered by rising prices on food, fuel and pretty much everything else, polls are unanimous in saying the president is hemorrhaging support and predicting his party will get thrashed in the midterm elections.
But the Trump who spoke for almost 40 minutes from the General Assembly podium was anything but chastened and shrunken.
With the world’s eyes on him, he was as bullish as ever on America, the war against Iran and the distinctive differences his presidency has achieved at home and around the world.

Must read: Patriot’s response to Trump’s America-first UN Speech – ‘one for the ages‘
‘That is why the Democrats and their parasitic communist friends must not win in the upcoming mid-term elections – not because the Dem/DSA partnership won’t act if successful in the election, but rather because they WILL act to destroy America and undermine the principles upon which we declared our independence 250 years ago’. – Patrick Colbeck

Usha Vance On Faith, Family, And Changing Diapers In The White House by Mary Margaret Olohan
The Second Lady says it “takes a little army” to make sure JD Vance has time to be a father, and “he’s just as involved” as ever.
Alec Neel Vance came into the world two months ago in July, and he already has a Secret Service detail all his own.
Baby Alec’s parents, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance, have said that they want to raise him, like all their children, as a man of purpose, not a child of political privilege. It’s no small task for a boy whose crib is in the Naval Observatory, and who may take his first steps in the White House.
The high-wire act of balancing the political world and real family life was on full display when I walked into Usha Vance’s office on a sunny September afternoon. The Second Lady greeted me with a big smile, “baby-wearing” little Alec in a carrier strapped to her chest. Less than two months after giving birth, Usha was back in her office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, eager to share the results of her summer reading challenge. 30,000 children had signed up, she told me, double the number that her pilot program brought in last year.

Fulton Sheen, Catholic media star, will be beatified in St Louis Thursday
This Thursday, the Catholic bishop who charmed millions while explaining theological concepts and scrawling on a blackboard on his show ‘Life Is Worth Living’ will come one step closer to being declared a saint.
In 1953, Lucille Ball, the star of the hit show “I Love Lucy,” was up for an Emmy for “Most Outstanding Personality.” She lost — but not to famous journalist Edward R. Murrow or presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson — she lost to then-New York Auxiliary Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.
“I feel it is time I pay tribute to my four writers — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,” Sheen reportedly quipped as he accepted the award.
This Thursday (Sept. 24), the Catholic bishop who charmed millions while explaining theological concepts and scrawling on a blackboard for his show “Life Is Worth Living” will come one step closer to being declared a saint. His beatification — which comes after the Vatican found that he lived a life of “heroic virtue” and that his intercession was responsible for a miracle — leaves him just one more miracle shy of sainthood.

Pope John Paul II and Fulton J. Sheen in 1979 – A Heavenly Embrace
In 1979 Fulton J. Sheen received a great accolade when Pope John Paul II embraced him and said, “You have written and spoken well of the Lord Jesus. You are a loyal son of the Church.” With that last acknowledgement, Fulton Sheen passed into eternal life just two months later on December 9, 1979.
