Three of twelve NGOs against a Spanish government proposal to accelerate returns from Ceuta to Morocco have historical or institutional links to the Jesuits, reports InfoVaticana.com. - The Jesuit Migrant Service is part of the Jesuits’ social network. - Entreculturas was promoted by the order and is chaired by Enric Puiggròs, the Jesuit provincial in Spain. - Oxfam Intermón originated in 1956 as a Jesuit missionary organization. The proposed decree followed the large-scale arrival of migrants in Ceuta on July 30 and 31. The twelve NGOs opposed provisions that would impose a seven-day deadline for certain asylum applications, reduce the appeal period to five days and, in certain cases, remove the right to remain in Spain while proceedings were pending. The government later placed the proposal under legal review amid questions about its compatibility with constitutional and international law. #newsMigcosbltj

OCTOBER... I come to you with a more peaceful heart, with less desire to control life and with a greater desire to be grateful for it. This month, I don't want to ask for too much. I only want peace, the kind that doesn't depend on what happens outside, but on the tranquility that God places within. I want to wake up grateful for life, for health, for my family, for my home, for the daily bread, and for those little blessings we so often take for granted. I want to learn to look more at what I have and worry less about what I am still missing. October, I want to walk slowly, without desperately worrying about what hasn't arrived, without being anxious about what I cannot control, and without allowing anyone to steal the peace I have worked so hard to find. God by my side. That is what I need. May He guide my steps, protect my family, guide my decisions, and close the doors that are not meant for me. May He give me the wisdom to accept what I cannot change and the courage to transform …More

Musk comeback: From DOGE flop to designing America’s ‘absolute’ military dominance Just over a year after his much-hyped DOGE experiment crashed, the SpaceX chief has been tapped by War Secretary Pete Hegseth to co-lead Project Meridian. The120-day Pentagon effort aims to map the technologies needed for “absolute technological dominance” in future wars. Joining Musk are Anduril’s CEO Palmer Luckey and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Key elements of the new gig: focus on AI, autonomy, directed energy, robotics, biotech, and exotic domains like subterranean ops and even lunar warfare explicitly not about crafting strategy or policy – ostensibly just forecasting capabilities and creative solutions decades ahead DOGE was pitched as an efficiency machine that would slash waste and save taxpayers billions. Instead, it became mired in agency cuts, public backlash and product boycotts, ending with Musk’s messy exit and a falling out feud with Donald Trump. The new assignment is less …More

Jack Smith was the smartest person in that hearing room, and had obviously made a decision that he would NEVER take the 5th Amendment at all! Popok catches something that is lost in the reporting about the masterful Jack Smith testimony in which he mercilessly counterpunched the Senate Republicans — he never gave them what they really wanted all along— not his truthful answers about Trump’s crimes, but that they would scare him into taking the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination so they could embarrass him as a “criminal” before the midterms.

"Consequently love of a suitable good perfects and betters the lover; but love of a good which is unsuitable to the lover, wounds and worsens him. Wherefore man is perfected and bettered chiefly by the love of God: but is wounded and worsened by the love of sin, according to Osee 9:10: "They became abominable, as those things which they loved."" — St. Thomas Aquinas
Q The Storm Rider @Q_TheStormRider 9 out of the 12 NYPD officers that allegedly went through the Anthony Weiner Laptop, “committed suicide". All 9 of them died by a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Self inflicted? I don’t believe that. It sounds more like executions to me. Tick Tock Hillary.
