CATHOLIC: “It became obvious why Catholics had built such beautiful cathedrals and churches throughout the world. Not as gathering or meeting places for Christians.

EDUCATION: In California, teens who were expelled from their private high school for posting a photo of themselves undergoing acne treatment have been awarded $1 million plus reimbursement of tuitions paid.

In Virginia, a school district has voted to restore the Confederate names to a number of their schools that were renamed in the insanity of 2020. Part of the agreement is that tax monies will not be used to pay for the changes, just private donations from people who care enough to see it happen.

In Canada, allegations of atrocities were made against old Catholic mission schools. Over 80 churches in Canada burned because of them and the government forked out $8 million to dig up what were purported to be mass graves. No human remains were found and, oh wait, “There has been no public disclosure of how the funds were utilized.”

Also in Canada, two Catholic brothers were suspended from their public school for wearing shirts saying there are only two genders, which is Catholic doctrine. When they were told to remove the shirts or face expulsion, they said they were expressing their beliefs in the same way the many LGBT posters at the school were expressing opposing beliefs. The school decided to suspend rather than expel. When they returned to school, a bunch of the teachers marked the occasion by dressing up in alphabet cult attire. However, the boys received a ton of support from their peers who are sick to death of the queer/trans crap being shoved down their throats.

VAXXX: A study entitled “Effectiveness of the 2023-2024 Formulation of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 mRNA Vaccine against the JN.1 Variant” was published on April 29, 2024 in medRxiv. In it, researchers report that people who received more than one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine were more likely to contract COVID-19.

The risk of contracting COVID-19 was 1.5 times higher for those who received two doses, 1.95 times higher for those who received three doses, and 2.5 times higher for those who received more than three doses, the researchers found. The higher risk was compared to people who received zero or one dose of a vaccine.

“The exact reason for this finding is not clear. It is possible that this may be related to the fact that vaccine-induced immunity is weaker and less durable than natural immunity. So, although somewhat protective in the short term, vaccination may increase risk of future infection.”

CHICAGO: There may be no place where the vicious philosophies underpinning the Democrat Party are as obvious as the Windy City, which has been dominated by Dem politicians since forever.

The Chicago Public Schools spend more than $21,000 per student – far above the national average of $14,347. Yet only 21% of the city’s eighth graders can read at an eight grade level. Despite being abject failures at educating their largely Black population, the all-Democrat Chicago Teachers Union wants a $50 billion four-year contract, plus free abortions, various services for illegals, and LGBTQ training.

None of this will do diddly squat to help poor Blacks to get off the new Democrat plantations … ghettos and jails. But I suspect that is the whole point.

HYPOCRITE: Brooklyn State Senator Kevin Parker worked with fellow Democrats to pass the Adult Survivors Act in 2022 that allows victims of sexual crimes to sue alleged perpetrators years after the criminal statute of limitations had expired.

Jean Marshall (74) is serving time in prison for participating in a peaceful pro-life rescue. For 20 hours a day, she is locked down in her cell, with no emergency button, despite suffering from several serious health problems, is not permitted to attend Mass, and has been repeatedly denied urgently needed medical care. (See her letter to her congressman below.)

Pro-abortion Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has refused all requests for her to get the health care she needs. This violates international standards set forth in the Nelson Mandela Rules, which state that every prisoner must receive needed medical care and that medical decisions made by a doctor “may not be overruled or ignored by non-medical prison staff.”

Marshall’s sister, Paulette Harlow, is also serving time and has also been denied Mass. Marshall said, “We went to the abortion killing place in peaceful response to Proverbs 24:11, to ‘rescue those being dragged to their death.’ We went as if the life of the Preborn Christ Child was at stake because our Lord said, ‘Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for Me’ (Matthew 25:40).”

In a letter to her fellow Third Order Franciscans, Marshall explained her special love for the unborn, declaring, “As Catholics we know that the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity is the Son of God and the Word of God and that the Word was made flesh when He became the preborn Christ Child in Mary’s tabernacle womb.”

Letter from Jean Marshall to Congressman Chris Smith

Dear Representative Smith,

My name is Jean Marshall, and I am one of the nine codefendants convicted in United States v. Handy et al., for being in civil disobedience of the F.A.C.E. Act on Oct. 22, 2020. After our conviction on Sept. 15, 2023, I was put in jail at the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center in Alexandria Virginia to await sentencing on May 15, 2024.

In August of 2023, a month before my trial, I was brought by ambulance to the nearest hospital (South Shore Hospital in South Weymouth, MA) for excruciating pain in my hip and an inability to walk. I was admitted and treated for three days with intravenous anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers and sent home. This is not the first episode but the third which sent me to the hospital via ambulance in severe pain. I saw an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Talmo of New England Baptist Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts who evaluated me for osteoarthritis in both hips and scheduled me for right hip surgery in Oct. 2023. My lawyer gave my judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly this information so that I could go home before sentencing in order to keep my scheduled surgery date. I was not allowed to return home despite not being a flight risk.

At the onset of my incarceration in a cold cell I developed a painful pneumonia, which was finally diagnosed after three weeks, and was given ibuprofen to treat the pain.

Later I requested ibuprofen for my osteoarthritis because I began to limp and my right leg was going numb.

In February, I had to see the jail doctor because I coughed up foam after my lawyer’s visit, though I had never done this before, and quickly had a constant sensation that something was stuck in my esophagus.

I had seen an ENT (ear nose and throat) specialist twenty years earlier when I was diagnosed with esophageal reflux or GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) which my father died from due to acid reflux scarring in his esophagus causing him to choke (aspirate) on food when he ate.

The doctor in jail told me to avoid NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen due to my reflux and began me on a drug for GERD which did not help. I am concerned about my condition because I am unable to see an ENT doctor after waiting two months, and because if I did choke there are no emergency buttons to push in my cell in which I am now locked down for 20 hours a day.

I am afraid to take an anti-inflammatory drug for pain due to the reflux, and today my right knee is stiff, preventing me from bending it, and so I just drag my right leg as I walk. I am a retired RN going on age 75 and I need Judge Kollar-Kotelly to send me home, in whatever capacity, (with a bracelet monitor if she wishes) or else on house arrest without a monitor so that I can receive medical treatment.

I also need to be able to go to church, along with my sister who has been unable to go since she was placed on house arrest after her conviction and even before her trial.

My orthopedic surgeon will send you a letter to verify the osteoarthritis in both hips, right hip is worse than the left, requiring surgery.
