Bill Donohue comments on a front-page story in today\’s Washington Post about the visit by Pope Francis to the U.S. next month:
Whenever there is a papal visit to the U.S., those with their own political agenda surface, aided and abetted by members of the mainstream media. Want proof? Read today\’s piece by Michelle Boorstein (click here) in the Washington Post. It reads more like an op-ed than a news story.

On the afternoon of August 21, 2013, the FBI’s Little Rock Field Office was notified by a local energy provider about a downed 500,000-volt power line near an active railroad track in Cabot, Arkansas. A power outage ensued. Company officials and local law enforcement believed that very early in the morning, someone had climbed a 100-foot tall support tower and intentionally sawed off the shackles that held up the power line, which then fell across the railroad tracks. A short time later, a train struck the line and severed it.

Over the last four years, human service agencies in Pennsylvania have struggled as a result of drastic funding cuts enacted by Republicans. Governor Wolf understands the challenges that service providers face and that’s why his budget is a hugely important step in restoring these state funds.
The governor’s budget restores funding for county human service agencies, increases funding for programs that help aging Pennsylvanians while also increasing choices for their care and support, and provides additional funding for programs that help individuals with disabilities.

Think about this:
This year, 87 people have been struck and killed by motor vehicles in New Jersey. Nearly 30% of New Jersey\’s traffic fatalities are pedestrians, and at this rate, it is possible that an additional 80 pedestrians will be killed in 2015. More than 78% of pedestrians struck and killed were over the age of 30 and more than 50% were over the age of 50.
The cause and circumstances surrounding these crashes are varied. This trend cannot be attributed to any one particular factor. So, we\’d like give a friendly reminder to both drivers and pedestrians alike:
