CLASSICALLY CATHOLIC: I am excited about the home school co-op the Mascots will be attending this year. They will go once a week from 9:30am – 1:40pm.  CLICK https://www.classicallycatholicmemory.com/classically-catholic-memory-what-is-ccm-classically-catholic-memory/ if you’re interested in the curriculum. I love this part:

There is definitely a modern educational bias against having children memorize much of anything. This is unfortunate, as mastering a large amount of factual material over a broad range of subjects is exactly what should provide the ‘raw material’ for those higher order thinking skills as children mature. Understanding, analyzing, evaluating, comparing, contrasting, synthesizing, and clearly expressing oneself are certainly critical skills…but if the child has never mastered the core facts of a particular subject, what is there to analyze, or evaluate, or form and express a clear opinion on?”

FAUXTUS: House Oversight Chairman, James Comer, has revealed that, while he was VP, Joe Biden used a pseudonymous email address “Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov” from which he looped in Hunter on official meetings that were none of Hunter’s business.

He also reportedly used “Robin Ware” and “JRB Ware” for other covert communications. Robin probably comes from Joe Robinette Biden’s middle name; JRB is obviously his initials.

Comer is demanding the National Archives release non-redacted records of VP Biden’s pseudonymous email addresses in his talks with Hunter, Devon Archer, and other Biden business associates by August 31.

Coming on top of the entry in Hunter’s sister’s diary about showering with dear old dad, Hunter’s repeated use of “Pedo Peter” makes me wonder if Joe molested him as well.

HAWAII: CLICK https://twitter.com/jeremykauffman/status/1691856782031815133 [1:23] to hear the official who refused to release water to fight the fires on Maui that led to 106 deaths. A Hawaiian Studies major, Kaleo prefers a traditional, holistic “One Water” approach where water is revered, not used. According to him, water use requires “true conversations about equity.” Manuel eventually released water for fighting the fires, but not until after it had spread. It was not clear on Monday how much damage the fire did in the interim.

LIFE: On Wednesday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi) issued several ruling regarding the abortion drug mifepristone (a.k.a. RU-486 and Mifeprex), but allowed it to remain authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The court’s ruling ended all mail orders of mifepristone, shortens the time period when women can take the pill from 70 days to 49 days into their pregnancy and requires patients to get a prescription for the drug from a doctor and to have three follow-up appointments in person.

The FDA approved the use of mail order for this dangerous drug back in December of 2021 which it had approved for use in ending early pregnancy in 2000. One Canadian woman reportedly died of sepsis while taking the drug during a clinical trial. By 2005, 4 American women had died of sepsis after taking it. Since then, it is believed at least fourteen women have died.

NORTH DAKOTA: Mohamad Barakat (37 ) was a Syrian national who was given asylum in 2012 and became a U.S. citizen in 2019. On July 14, he fatally shot Fargo Police Officer Jake Wallin (23) and wounded two other Fargo Police Officers, Andrew Dotas (28) and Tyler Hawes (22), as well as a female bystander named Karlee Koswick, and before being killed by FPD Officer Zach Robinson.

CLICK https://twitter.com/HarrisonKrank/status/1692207498411774183 [2:34] to see body cam footage. “Shots fired. Shots fired. We got a man with an AK-47 shooting at us … We’ve got three officers down. … Send everybody.

Authorities found three semi-auto rifles with 53 magazines, four handguns with at least 10 magazines, more than 1,800 .223-caliber bullets, three canisters filled with gasoline, two propane tanks filled with Tannerite, and a hand grenade. He had spray-painted the back windows of his car black so no one could see what he had inside.

Barakat’s search history revealed an interest in mass casualty events, explosive ammo, incendiary rounds, and how to cause certain injuries. The last article that appeared in his browser history was a KVRR article titled “Thousands enjoy first day of Downtown Fargo Street Fair.” At the time of the shooting, there were two large fairs going on in Fargo, the Downtown Fargo Street Fair and the Red River Valley Fair.

Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski said, “It is clear that this individual was a calculated, insidious, murderous individual dead set on hurting and killing as many people as possible. He had the intent, he had the commitment and he had the means.” Authorities said they don’t know why Barakat was planning the attack downtown or why he stopped to shoot at officers. They also said they have no reason to believe there is any on-going threat from other players.

So, have you heard any of this? Me neither. But hey, the Wrongs can’t milk much of anything about this story to feed their favorite narratives. They could use it to argue for more gun control, what with all the fire power Barakat had in his car. But then they’d have to admit a white cop saved a whole lot of people by killing an Arab with terrorist aspirations, which would go against their “All Cops Are Bastards” narrative and their “White Men Are Evil” narrative and their “Arab Men Are All Peace-loving Muslims” narrative.

I googled “mohamad barakat fargo” and got back the following from national news outlets:

  • July 15, 2022 = Breitbart, Newsmax, and CNN, one story each
  • July 16, 17, 19 and August 7, 2022 = Fox News
  • July 20, 2022 = NBC
  • August 17, 2022 = ABC, MSN, AOL after body cam footage was released

THE CHOSEN: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRpGce4nEFA [4:38] to hear how the woman who was healed after touching the “hem” (actually one of the tassels) of Jesus’ garment was fulfilling a messianic prophecy.

GRAMMY NOTES: Being one of my Littles (child alters) has definitely been traumatic. Imagine going to sleep in a crib in the pediatrics ward and waking up in the body of a grown woman with a husband, children, and grandchildren. One of them remarked, “At least we all still live in a green house.”
