The US Navy's newest class of warship carries a name worth knowing. The lead ship of its new Landing Ship Medium program will be the USS McClung, named for Marine Corps Major Megan McClung. She was a public affairs officer, a Naval Academy graduate, and a marathoner known for her toughness and her motto: "Be bold. Be brief. Be gone." In December 2006, while escorting journalists through Ramadi, Iraq, her vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb. She was 34, the first female Marine officer killed in Iraq, and the first female Naval Academy graduate to die in combat. The ship that bears her name is built for the future of Marine warfare: a small, beachable landing ship, around 4,000 tons, designed to carry Marines and gear from island to island across the Pacific. It is meant to be the backbone of a new strategy to disperse small Marine units across the first island chain to counter China. The program has been troubled, with costs so high the Navy ended up buying a Dutch design to afford it. But whatever happens in the shipyards, the name on the hull will carry its own weight. Be bold. Be brief. Be gone. facebook.com/photo?fbid=1594…

Urgent novena to Christ the King launches Nov. 13: ‘Only divine intervention can save us’ ‘The world will never have peace until it publicly honors Christ the King,’ the Irish Catholic duo behind 'Guardians of the Faith' warned. “The different mystics, saints and seers said that the world will never have peace until it publicly honors Christ as King,” Barry of Guardians of the Faith, an Irish Catholic YouTube channel, told LifeSiteNews. lifesitenews.com/news/urgent…

Fr. Dan Reehil, a Catholic priest and exorcist based in Nashville, Tennessee, is urging #Catholic parents to boycott Disney’s upcoming animated film #Hexed, citing concerns about its portrayal of witchcraft and the occult. Scheduled for release on November 25, 2026, the film follows 16-year-old Billie Doe, who discovers magical abilities and journeys to a hidden realm of witches called “Hexe” with her mother. While the film has not yet been released, Fr. Reehil’s warning raises an important question for Catholic parents: What messages are our children absorbing through entertainment? Parents have the responsibility to guide their children in discerning what they watch. Not every fantasy story is automatically harmful, but themes involving occult practices deserve thoughtful consideration in light of the Catholic faith. Our children’s imagination matters. Let us help them choose entertainment that leads them toward what is good, true, and beautiful. facebook.com/photo?fbid=1570…

Almost all the growth in global coal use since the late 1980s has come from China. Outside China, the world’s use of coal has barely changed since the late 1980s. It was just over 20,000 terawatt-hours back then, and almost four decades later, it is still the same. But the change has been very different in China. The country has increased the use of coal enormously, and today, China is burning more coal than the rest of the world combined. The future of global coal use, and the emissions that come with it, depends heavily on what happens in China. (written by Max Roser) facebook.com/photo/?fbid=176…

Bill Brindley Why is Hegseth so important, and why do they want him out so much? A Color Revolution is a kind of insurgency. An insurgency requires making people fear it more than the actual government. Beyond being a decorated combat soldier, Hegseth was also a counter-insurgency instructor in the army for many years. But it goes deeper. Hegseth is mediagenic and media savvy. He’s a charismatic communicator. And by all indications, a large number of troops love him. In this way, he’s vastly more effective than an older SecDef who might have more political and policy sophistication. This is important because with that level of support amongst the troops it makes it unlikely that any Deep State officers will be able to move their troops towards insurrection against the current administration. Put another way, it’s not so much what he can get the military TO DO. It’s what he can prevent the military from doing. And that’s why they are desperate to get rid of him. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122…

nypost.com/2026/11/08/us-new… Terrifying close call at LAX after Air France jet makes wrong turn in midair. Two passenger jets narrowly avoided a potentially catastrophic midair collision shortly after taking off from Los Angeles International Airport early Saturday, after one aircraft made an unauthorized turn into the other’s flight path. An Air France Airbus bound for Papeete, Tahiti, reportedly came within just 400ft vertically of an American Airlines Airbus headed to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Air traffic control asked the Air France pilots multiple times why they made the turn and then told them “I have a number for you to call.” The controller then informed the crew that the incident could be treated as a possible pilot deviation, a term used when a pilot fails to comply with an air traffic control clearance or instruction.

I'm working on it. 🤐

Judith Gaga Friel No Muslims should ever be allowed to run for federal office or hold seats in our government. No Muslim should ever be able to use a Quran to be sworn into office. They lie when they swear to uphold the constitution of the United States. They have no intention of doing any such thing. That's why they should not be allowed to be in Congress. Sharia law is not compatible with our constitution.... facebook.com/photo?fbid=1024…

Sen. John Kennedy Drops Bombshell: Iran Planned Missile Blitz to Shield Nuclear Restart, Threaten Europe Senator John Kennedy just laid out what U.S. intelligence actually showed about Iran’s game plan. Classified, he said, but he has seen it. “Our intelligence showed that Iran was building up its missile capacity, both ballistic and cruise. And they were going to compile so many missiles and drones that they were going to turn to America and Israel and say, we’re restarting our nuclear weapons program. And if you try to stop us, we’re going to destroy the rest of the Middle East. And by the way, our missiles can now reach London and Paris, Paris, and Germany, and Berlin.” The host asked if he had seen the reports. Kennedy did not hedge. “I’ve seen the intelligence. And President Trump was faced, well, do I let them continue? He had already bombed their nuclear, some of their nuclear facilities. But he was faced with the decision, do I let them get to the point where they have so many missiles and drones, ballistic and cruise, that they could destroy the Middle East, that they could hit London, that they might even be able to hit the United States, or do I go in to stop them? And he did.” That is the choice. Let the regime stockpile enough missiles and drones to hold the entire region hostage while they raced back to a bomb, or hit them first. Trump hit them. The intel said Iran was building the arsenal specifically so no one would dare interfere with the nuclear restart. Europe was already in range. The Middle East was leverage. The United States was next on the list. Kennedy’s account is blunt. The alternative was watching Tehran demand a free hand on nukes under the threat of leveling cities from Beirut to Berlin. Trump refused to wait for that moment. The strikes happened. The buildup was interrupted. That is what the intelligence showed, and that is the decision he made. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=161…

Bill Brindley The replacement of Wiles with Miller was a signal, along with the Hegseth tweets, that Trump was not going to simply accept being a lame duck pushed around by the Dems. Will be an interesting 2 years in American politics. It's Haka war dance time. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122…

Think about the lunacy, due to his terrorist associations both family and friends… The day we swear in Islamic radicals that fund money to terrorist organizations, and they swear in on the Quran because they can't swear on the Bible to the constitution is the day America is sunk.... facebook.com/photo/?fbid=102…

I hope Pope Leo had a chance to ask Dylan about his song "She Belongs to Me" which was an attack on the Catholic Church.
