Kavanaugh performed the frightening display of religious devotion alongside an organized group of radicalized Catholics, whose extremist mission appears to be helping the needy. Local news crews leaped out of the bushes and caught him in the act, asking him, “What do you have to say for yourself, BIGOT?” … Read more

This is tragic. I wasn’t familiar with the youtube channel, which has over 500,000 subscribers. UPDATE: The Washington Post has an article. They may have been used to taking risky chances. Three well-known members of the YouTube channel ‘High On Life’ died Tuesday while hiking at Shannon Falls in Squamish, British Columbia. Ryker Gamble, Alexy … Read more
