Ras Baraka and Mikie Sherrill are both alumni of Jesuit Universities

Ras Baraka and Mikie Sherrill are both alumni of Jesuit higher education institutions. [1, 2]

The two New Jersey Democrats—who competed in the 2025 gubernatorial primary before Baraka endorsed Sherrill, who is now the Governor of New Jersey—completed different graduate degrees at distinct Jesuit universities. [1, 2, 4, 5]

Educational Breakdown

Ras Baraka: Earned his Master of Arts in Education Supervision from Saint Peter's University (located in Jersey City, NJ). Saint Peter's is a private Jesuit university founded by the Society of Jesus in 1872. [1]

Mikie Sherrill: Earned her Juris Doctor (JD) from the Georgetown University Law Center (located in Washington, D.C.). Georgetown is the oldest Catholic and Jesuit institution of higher education in the United States, founded in 1789. [1]

How Jesuit Education Influenced Their Careers

Ras Baraka's Path: His degree in educational leadership directly fed into his career within public school systems. Before serving as Mayor of Newark, Baraka spent years as a school administrator, notably serving as the principal of Newark's Central High School. [1, 2]

Mikie Sherrill's Path: Raised Catholic, Sherrill has explicitly stated that Georgetown Law was a natural fit because the Jesuits epitomize the philosophy of service and giving back to communities. She used her law degree to transition from her career as a Navy pilot into legal public service, first as a federal prosecutor and later as a public servant. [1, 2, 3]

Anti-ICE protesters pooling cash for riot gear, military-grade goggles to fuel Newark mayhem

Anti-ICE protesters are pooling cash to deliver riot gear to the front lines of the ongoing chaos in Newark outside the Delaney Hall detention center — fueling criticism that the mayhem is a well-funded, coordinated effort by outside “extremists.”

Donations are pouring in to help the protesters buy “helmets” and “knee/wrist/shin/arm guards” along with military-grade goggles to stay outside Delaney Hall, according to one list blasted out on social media by lefty political activist group the 50501 Movement, which was behind the No Kings anti-President Trump rallies.

The protesters specifically listed MIL-PRF-32432 shatterproof goggles — which are considered “U.S. military specification” that ensures protection from “battlefield-level projectile threats” — on their wish list.

Protesters asked for a wish list of supplies amid the ongoing demonstrations in Newark.

The armor was listed as a high-priority need to be dropped at the chaotic protest site, while organizers from further away were supporting the purchases by sending cash to the personal Venmo of organizer Jenny Garcia.

The tools are allegedly necessary for their battle against the “ICE Gestapo,” according to Virginia-based 50501, which formed last year and was behind an eponymous nationwide protest. Its name stands for “50 protests. 50 states. 1 day.”

“This is professionalizing an attack on federal officials, and it makes it dangerous for everyone, makes it dangerous for themselves, for elected officials, for the obviously for the men and women who work there, and it’s totally unacceptable,” Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) told The Post.

“It makes you think that they obviously want to get involved in bruising altercations that they’re going to be aggressive, and if they are, they should be arrested. That is not what a peaceful protest is. That is not what First Amendment rights are,” he continued, calling the demonstrations “virtue signaling.”

The untold amount of pooled money was also being spent on wheelchairs, P100 respirators — which are considered “oil-proof” — Sudecon, a decontamination wipe used to remove irritants such as pepper spray, and “welding gloves for incoming tear gas cannisters.”

The Beast from the Sea Chapter 27

Unraveling Revelation

The Beast from the Sea
Chapter 27

What in the World

May 27, 2026




And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy” (Rev. 13:1).

Introduction

After introducing us to the war in heaven and its extension to war on earth, the Book of Revelation introduces us to the two main proxy powers that Satan works through. The beast from the sea, and the beast from the earth. These two powers conspire together against Christ and His people. They manage to deceive the world into trusting and worshipping the beast from the sea. And continuing the war against God’s people,.They eventually build a one-world government, exercising world-wide power over religion, politics and economics and finance. This one-world government is described in Revelation chapters 17 & 18.

Identifying the Sea Beast

Identifying the Sea Beast must begin with where the sea Beast first enters the prophetic picture, which is in Daniel’s Book.

The prophetic picture begins with a figure made of gold, silver, brass and iron, The metals correspond to a succession of empires; Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. There is a fifth empire composed of iron mingled with clay. -it is this fifth and last empire that the stone (representing the second coming of Christ strikes on the feet and destroys.

This kingdom of iron and clay represents the amalgamation of Rome with the people Of God. This amalgamation occurred when the Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great, merged Paganism with Christianity and in this manner created the Roman Catholic Church – Even the Catholics themselves acknowledge that their church is ’baptized paganism’ such as Cardinal Newman:

Confiding then in the power of Christianity to resist the infection of evil, and to transmute the very instruments and appendages of demon-worship to an evangelical use…The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East… …are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church. Cardinal, john Henry Newman, Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine,1878, p. 372-374.

Biblical prophecy endorses what Newman has revealed. Revelationn17 is a repeat and enlargment of the Sea Beast. and chapter 17 reveals that there is a woman riding the beast. In other words, there is a woman in charge of the church. We are already introduced To this woman in Revelation chpter 2. “Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols” (Rev: 2:20): Jezebel is intoduced into the prophetic picture, becuse she serves as the type, and the woman riding the beast serves —-as the anti-type. In other words, what the original Jzebel did would happen again. So what did the original Jezebel do? She married Ahab. king of Israel, and she virtually converted the whole nation Of israelto paganism -and she killed the prophets and people of God by using Jezebel as a type the the prophecies ate accusing the Cathoic Church of doing, the same things as Jezebel - and a cursory study of history, confirms that the prophetic picure has been fulfilled accurately.

CONTROVERSY AROUND TIME SETTING IN ADVENTISM PART 2

 

Trump’s EEOC goes after another company that required vaccines

NewsJeff Brumley | May 28, 2026

An Oklahoma company has agreed to settle a federal religious and disability discrimination lawsuit stemming from its firing of unvaccinated employees during the pandemic, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced.

AG Equipment Co. in Broken Arrow will pay $4.2 million to more than 40 workers terminated due to its 2021 mandate that all employees, without exception, had to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, EEOC said May 18.

The situation dates back to 2021 when the COVID-19 pandemic was sowing divisions in the U.S. over issues such as sheltering in place and vaccines. Many white evangelical churches were openly defiant in resisting government-led public health measures.

EEOC has redoubled its focus on “religious liberty” cases since President Donald Trump returned to office, resulting in at least 16 religious discrimination cases — many of them COVID related — and the recovery of $67 million.

In fall 2021, AG Equipment Co. required all employees to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. In response, several workers requested exemptions based on religious reasons and one provided a doctor’s note asking for an accommodation because of a medical condition, EEOC said.

However, the company refused to consider the requests and on Oct. 21 that year fired all those who had requested the exemptions in addition to anyone else who didn’t show proof of vaccination.

“When these workers asked for a simple religious accommodation, the company didn’t pause to listen or even consider the impact,” said Patrick J. Holman, trial attorney for EEOC’s Oklahoma City area office. “It fired every one of them outright — without a conversation and without any real inquiry into whether granting an accommodation would have caused the business any hardship at all. This is unlawful as well as unfair.”

The lawsuit said the company’s conduct violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bans discrimination based on faith and disability. In addition to the financial compensation in consent decree ending the litigation, the company must train managers in Title VII compliance and inform employees of their right to religious and disability accommodations.

“Where an accommodation can be provided without undue hardship, the law requires it — the pandemic did not exempt employers from their legal obligations under Title VII and the ADA,” EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas said. “The EEOC under my leadership will continue to hold employers accountable, deliver meaningful results, and restore dignity to American workers harmed by widespread COVID-19 vaccine-related civil rights violations.”

In March, the agency announced a $15 million conciliation agreement with an unnamed global technology company. “In its investigation, the EEOC found reasonable cause to believe that the company discriminated against a class of employees on the basis of religion and disability by denying their COVID-19 vaccine exemption requests and terminating employees who declined to receive vaccines.”

And Northwestern Medicine, a health care system in Chicago, agreed to pay $325,000 to employees who were denied vaccine exemptions based on religious beliefs dating back to November 2023, EEOC said May 26.

DHS Tells Agents to Ignore State Mask Bans During Operations

By Solange Reyner | Friday, 29 May 2026 12:32 PM EDT


The Department of Homeland Security has instructed federal immigration officers that they are not required to comply with state and local laws restricting the use of face masks while carrying out their official duties, according to an internal agency memo reviewed by The New York Times.

The May 15 memo from the department's general counsel was issued amid growing disputes between federal immigration authorities and Democrat-led states over enforcement operations and the conduct of federal agents.

According to the memo, federal officers are "not legally required to comply with state and local mask prohibitions while carrying out their official duties."

It further advised agents to "freely perform their authorized duties without concern for state interference or fear of prosecution."

The guidance comes more than a week after New York state lawmakers approved a wide-ranging public protection and government operations bill that includes immigration-related measures limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and expanding protections for immigrants and undocumented students.

The legislation, passed as part of the state budget process for the 2026-27 fiscal year, would restrict actions that state and municipal employees can take in connection with federal immigration enforcement, create new protections for schools and sensitive locations and establish a new immigrant trust office within the state attorney general's office.

DHS has argued that federal law generally preempts state and local regulations that interfere with the execution of federal duties.

The memo reinforces that position by assuring officers that they can continue wearing masks during enforcement operations regardless of state or local requirements.

The issue has drawn heightened attention as Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have conducted enforcement actions in major cities, often while wearing tactical gear and face coverings.

Immigration advocates and some elected officials have criticized the practice, saying it makes it difficult for the public to identify officers and distinguish them from private individuals.

Federal officials have defended the use of masks, citing safety concerns and a rise in threats directed at immigration officers.

Jen Goodman, a spokeswoman for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, told the Times that any "ICE agent who comes to New York and violates our laws will be held accountable."

Federal agents deployed pepper spray and beat back anti-ICE agitators outside the Delaney Hall detention center in New Jersey on Tuesday night, following days of chaos outside the privately run facility.

The confrontation, captured on video shared by FreedomNewsTV, shows the agitators trying to stop vehicles from leaving Delaney Hall in Newark. Authorities are seen attempting to stop agitators from obstructing vehicles and clearing them from the road.

The video shows the encounter turned physical as federal agents forcibly pushed back agitators who made contact with the hood of a vehicle trying to leave the facility. Some agents were also seen deploying pepper spray while others used batons against the agitators.

On Tuesday night, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin addressed the latest confrontation in a post on X.

"ICE law enforcement officers were assaulted by anti-ICE rioters who sprayed law enforcement with an unknown chemical substance," Mullin wrote, adding that two individuals were arrested for allegedly assaulting, resisting and impeding federal officers.

The clashes extended a weekend protest over conditions for detainees in the facility, prompted by a reported hunger strike undertaken by the detainees themselves.

Mullin on Monday denied the claims, writing, "There is NO hunger strike at Delaney Hall. There are no subprime conditions."

Sister Susan Francois, a member of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, has been showing up at Delaney Hall, the immigrant detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, since May 2025. In late May 2026, detainees inside Delaney Hall started a hunger and labor strike, citing inhumane conditions at the Newark, New Jersey immigration detention center. Days later, protests intensified outside its gates. Francois documents her work along the way. This is a day in her life.

Mayor Brandon Johnson meets with Pope Leo, invites him to visit Chicago

Johnson said he thanked the first-ever Chicago born pope for his courage and moral stance against endless wars.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Mayor Brandon Johnson met with Pope Leo XIV Thursday and invited him to visit Chicago in 2027.

Johnson and Pope Leo met privately Thursday for nearly an hour.

The mayor said he and the pope share ideals, including their stance against the U.S. war in Iran, and pushing back against actions carried out by the Trump administration during "Operation Midway Blitz."

"Of course we shared the legacy of leadership and organizing in civil rights in Chicago," Mayor Johnson said. "I believe he took that to heart. Ultimately, that is going to be his decision on whether or not his schedule is going to allow for it. Who would have thought that a middle school teacher, the son of a pastor, would be in the Vatican talking to the pope who has his roots in the city of Chicago? I believe that he was definitely appreciative of the warm exchange and invite and we will look forward to hosting Mass in Chicago."



Mayor Johnson and aldermen reflected on meeting the Chicago-born pope.

During the historic visit, they discussed politics, immigration, baseball and Chicago faith connections.

Johnson said the meeting brought him a sense of peace and comfort.

"I think the pastoral moment was the first question that he asked was, 'How's Chicago? How's Chicago?' And you know I was able to say that you know Chicago is strong," Johnson said.

The trip is funded in part by World Business Chicago, an economic development agency.

AI chatbots face major backlash over left-wing bias: ‘Can no longer be considered neutral and cannot be trusted’

By Brian Flood , Fox News
Published May 26, 2026, 2:51 p.m. ET

Artificial intelligence chatbots are relying on left-wing media and politically charged sources, making it difficult for the average American to trust them as a news source, critics say.

AI systems are widely known to sometimes “hallucinate” and generate false yet believable information that can quickly erode trust.

Some critics insist chatbots such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Claude provide information with a liberal slant, or push information from left-leaning news sources while silencing opposing views.

As more and more Americans rely on the technology, the right-leaning Media Research Center (MRC) has conducted studies in an attempt to determine if the chatbots should be relied upon — and they don’t find the results encouraging.


“We’re watching the next phase of media bias unfold in real time,” Media Research Center President David Bozell told Fox News Digital.

“Silicon Valley’s shiny new toys can no longer be considered neutral and cannot be trusted.”

ChatGPT, which is developed by OpenAI, insisted in January that nobody named Charlie Kirk was ever assassinated and declared no credible evidence or reporting could substantiate such a claim, according to the MRC.

PUBLISHED: May 11, 2026 at 8:59 PM EDT | UPDATED: May 11, 2026 at 9:36 PM EDT


Less than a month after she resigned from Congress in the face of a looming expulsion recommendation, former U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick said Monday she is a candidate to return to Washington.

Cherfilus-McCormick said she is seeking the Democratic nomination in the reconfigured 20th Congressional District, which is concentrated in central Broward County, after Florida Republicans changed the map of Florida congressional districts.

She said she isn’t deterred by four other candidates who are already running — or by the prospect that U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz might decide to run in the same district. Wasserman Schultz’s Broward district was blown up by the new Republican reconfiguration of the congressional map.

“The strongest candidate in the race is me,” Cherfilus-McCormick said. “I never said I wasn’t running.”

The former congresswoman made it clear she doesn’t care for Wasserman Schultz, the senior Democratic member of Florida’s congressional delegation. When she was first elected, in a 2022 special election to fill the vacancy left by the late U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, Cherfilus-McCormick said Wasserman Schultz was dismissive when she arrived in Washington.

“One of the first things that ever happened when I came into Congress, she told me I wouldn’t be in Congress for more than 5 minutes, and here we are, five years still fighting. So I wish everyone well, but what I know is that in our district we’ll be fighting and we’ll make sure that the Black voice, as well as everybody’s voice is not diluted, and that’s what this is about, to make sure that everyone’s voice is being heard.”

Cherfilus-McCormick made her comments in response to reporters’ questions just before a gathering of members from about 20 Broward Democratic clubs, organized by Barbara Effman, president of the West Broward Democratic Club. Effman is a longtime Wasserman Schultz supporter.

Wasserman was the evening’s major speaker and arrived at the event as reporters were talking to Cherfilus-McCormick. The two didn’t cross paths.
