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

EDUCATION: According to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence.

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve math problems, memorize things, and recall lessons.

2) Emotional Quotient (EQ) is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine, and considerate.

3) Social Quotient (SQ) is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

4) Adversity Quotient (AQ) is the measure of your willingness to persevere through the rough patches in life without giving up, giving in, or hurting others.

1A SPEECH: The following is from a recent federal appeals court decision – “In the summer of 2020, thousands of protesters flooded the streets of the District to proclaim ‘Black Lives Matter,'” the court wrote in its decision. “Over several weeks, the protesters covered streets, sidewalks, and storefronts with paint and chalk. The markings were ubiquitous and in open violation of the District’s defacement ordinance, yet none of the protesters were arrested. During the same summer, District police officers arrested two pro-life advocates in a smaller protest for chalking ‘Black Pre-Born Lives Matter’ on a public sidewalk. … The government may not enforce the laws in a manner that picks winners and losers in public debates.“

NEW YORK CITY: National Review senior editor Charles C. W. Cooke blasted the Rotten Apple for its declaration of emergency over the influx of illegal migrants.

“This is a side of progressivism that I loathe,” he said. “It is hypocritical, and it illustrates the capacity of the professional progressive mind to move between diametrically opposed hyperboles without any loss of enthusiasm.”

“These people go from, ‘Have you seen the Statue of Liberty? Have you read the poem on it?’ They go from crying at the border. They go from spreading lies about border agents. They go from lionizing Ellis Island to proposing that the influx of a few thousand of the people that, until yesterday, they were suggesting could fit quite happily into tiny border towns in Texas, is going to strain the social fabric to such an extent that it represents a crisis. And there’s nothing in the middle. There’s no acknowledgement that they’ve changed their mind. There’s no slow transition from one to the other. They just turn on a dime, as if overnight they had downloaded the latest patch to their software.”

TRANS: Jason D. Hill writes at Front Page Magazine, “Biological women in the United States are being subjected to genocidal violation – we could call it existential rape of a certain type – by misogynistic biological males posing as trans-women. These fake women hate real women. They are the real oppressive patriarchs who wish to—like a lot of men—simply take up more space in the world and deny and confiscate the hard-fought rights women have battled for over the course of decades. They are not content to govern the corporate boardrooms; they want to compete with women in beauty contests, sports, and other existential life experiences, and to have a coercive monopoly on the right to claim that a definitive definition of a woman is trans-phobic, sexist, and toxic—all the while claiming that they are real women.”

NICARAGUA: Dictator Ortega continues his persecution of the Catholic Church. Last week, he refused to allow two priests to return home from World Youth Day in Portugal. And now he has frozen the bank accounts and assets of the Jesuit-run Central American University (UCA).

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBqaZ6iVlFE [2:47] to see a news report from eleven months ago. Six months ago, Ortega threw 222 political enemies out of the country, including Bishop Rolando Álvarez. The Bishop, however, refused to leave. He has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for opposing Ortega’s regime and calling for free elections.

A year ago, Ortega expelled the Missionaries Sisters of Charity and another 100 NGOs from the country and seized their assets. The sisters, whose order was founded by St. Teresa of Calcutta, serve the poor, particularly the elderly. They say they were able to find safe housing for their charges who Ortega wished to end up on the streets.

An attorney at the Pro Transparency and Anticorruption Observatory says that Ortega and his wife are engaging in “a frontal war against the Catholic Church of Nicaragua and its objective is to completely eliminate all those institutions related to the Church.” A report entitled “Nicaragua: A Persecuted Church? (2018–2022),” documents 190 attacks on “bishops, priests, seminarians, religious, lay groups, and toward everything that has a direct or indirect relationship with the Catholic Church.”

The Catholic Church teaches that, while Jesus ascended (took Himself up) into Heaven, His mother, Mary, was assumed (was taken up by God’s power) into Heaven. It is also Catholic teaching that she was assumed “body and soul” – i.e., that she received her perfected and glorified body at that time, so that the body that bore Our Lord was never corrupted. However, there is no teaching about whether she died first.

One of the seers at Medjugorje said that, when she was asked, she said, “No, I did not die.” For this reason, I believe that the Ascension of Jesus is the model and precursor for what will happen to the dead in Christ when He comes again, while the Assumption of Mary is the model and precursor for what will happen to the faithful who are still alive on that great day. The Catholic Church has no teaching whatsoever about the Rapture, but I personally believe that this is what happened to Mary.

CLIMATE HOAX: William Happer is professor emeritus in physics at Princeton University; Richard Lindzen is professor emeritus of atmospheric science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

“All of the models that predict catastrophic global warming fail the key test of the scientific method: they grossly overpredict the warming versus actual data. The scientific method proves there is no risk that fossil fuels and carbon dioxide will cause catastrophic warming and extreme weather.”

I had come over to see what he was getting up to on my phone and he has definitely lost privileges he had been declined a purchase and I checked my bank account b/c I figured either it was declined because I had a pass code set up that he doesn’t know, OR he had made so many purchases, my bank decided it was getting to be highly unusual and stopped allowing them. I am currently on hold with the wonderful customer service people at Amazon. They are slowly but surely deleting and refunding every single one for me. And we both double checked, there weren’t any others before yesterday (plus I would’ve noticed the bank charges) next will be to call my bank and make sure my debit card is active or gets reactivated.”

CDC: In April, about 1,800 CDC staffers and others attended a COVID-19 conference. The CDC said, “The goals were to learn more about transmission that occurred and add to our understanding as we transition to the next phase of COVID-19 surveillance and response.”

On the last day of the conference, several people notified organizers that they had tested positive for COVID-19. So the CDC and the Georgia Department of Public Health surveyed the attendees. Among the 80% who responded were 183 who said they had tested positive for COVID-19. All of them also said they had been vaccinated.

Of the 1,800 attendees who presumably all had some compelling interest in the coronavirus transmission, surveillance, and respond, 360 did not bother to fill out and return the survey.

Of the 80% who responded to the survey, 601 said that, despite having learned there was an outbreak at the conference, they had not bothered to test themselves for COVID-19. Among these were 34 who reported experiencing COVID-like symptoms.

To add to the idiocy, the survey only asked respondents, “Have you been vaccinated?”, but not when or with which serums.

Quotations from L. Ron Hubbard’s books and speeches.

• This is useful knowledge. With it the blind again see, the lame walk, the ill recover, the insane become sane and the sane become saner.
• Arthritis vanishes, myopia gets better, heart illness decreases, asthma disappears, stomachs function properly and the whole catalog of illnesses goes away and stays away.
• Leukemia is evidently psychosomatic in origin and at least eight cases of leukemia had been treated successfully by Dianetics after medicine had traditionally given up. The source of leukemia has been reported to be an engram containing the phrase ‘It turns my blood to water.’ Scientology is the only specific (cure) for radiation (atomic bomb) burns.
• You are only three or four hours from taking your glasses off for keeps.
• Of all the ills of man which can be successfully processed by Scientology, arthritis ranks near the top. In skilled hands, this ailment, though misunderstood and dreaded in the past, already has begun to become history.
• Not smoking enough will cause lung cancer!

A huge goal for Scientologists is to achieve the state of “Clear.” The Scientology site says, “Clear is the name of a state achieved through auditing and describes a being who no longer has his own reactive mind, the hidden source of irrational behavior, unreasonable fears, upsets and insecurities. Without a reactive mind, individuals regain their basic personality, self-determinism and, in essence, become much, much more themselves.

“The full glory of the state of Clear has no comparable description in any writings existing in our culture. It is a goal Man has dreamed of achieving for more than 2500 years, yet the state of Clear is far above anything anyone even conceived of previously. Indeed, that one could become something far higher and better than a human being, personally and in a single lifetime, is a brand-new concept.”

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfF9vGqfrA0 [4:43] to hear a former Scientologist explain what it was like to attain the state of “Clear.”

According to knowledgeable ex-Scientologists, the cult is all about the money. The beginner courses cost around $650 each, then as you go up the “Bridge”, the price per course escalates into the thousands. In addition, you have to cough up $800/hour for auditing and packages of L. Ron Hubbard’s books. A package of books costs, on average, $4,000.

People can easily spend more than $100,000 getting to “Clear.” After that, they move on to the OT “Operating Thetan” levels, which are even more expensive. Mike Rinder, who was once something like #3 in the organization, says people spend literally decades working on OT VII, the second highest level possible. Doing OT VII costs approximately $30,000 — $40,000 per year.

Even if you reach the top level – OT VIII – chances are you’re looking at additional courses and more spending, because they constantly rewrite stuff to force people to buy the latest updates. Unless you leave, of course, but if you do and you don’t keep your mouth firmly shut about Scientology, they will use all their ill-gotten gains to persecute you and your loved ones, stalking, slandering, filing lawsuits, and even poisoning your pets.

As far as I can figure out, the “hidden source” of everyone’s “irrational behavior, unreasonable fears, upsets and insecurities” lie in traumatic events that happened to the “Thetan” that inhabits your “meat body.” One example is the “Ice Cube Incident” in which aliens in flying saucers packed your Thetan in ice and dumped it (your true self) into one of Earth’s oceans. One clue that your Thetan experienced an “Ice Cube Incident” is that you have chronically cold hands and feet. The Wikipedia link below describes other “incidents” that make the “Ice Cube Incident” sound sane by comparison.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06hBaT15g6c [9:05] to hear Scientology’s creation myth. This is the stuff that Scientologists don’t learn until after they’ve spent decades and tens of thousands of dollars immersed in the cult of LRH’s insane sci fi world. It only got out when angry Scientologists braved the cult’s vicious retribution to make it all public.

I try to end my posts with something sweet and/or funny, so special warning here. THIS isn’t that. Pray before you CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ueO2DfhBFE [1:28:50]. The testimony of this woman who grew up in the cult is deeply disturbing.

CHICOMS: A physician and refugee from the communist regime details the widespread harvesting of human organs from living victims. These human cattle are primarily Falun Gong practitioners who are imprisoned and type tested so they can be harvested as needed. If you’re important enough, you can get a new organ within a month of your diagnosis. The first time Dr. Zheng encountered the practice, he was an intern who was forced to participate in harvesting organs from a live, wide awake “donor.” His job was to help hold the man still while surgeons removed his kidneys and eyeballs. He died during the procedure.

IVERMECTIN: Three doctors allege the FDA unlawfully interfered with their practice of medicine with the hostile statements about ivermectin. The case is currently being heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.

For example, on Aug. 21, 2021, the FDA tweeted, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” The post, which linked to an FDA page that says people shouldn’t use ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19, went viral. In other statements, the FDA said that ivermectin “isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19” and “Q: Should I take ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19? A: No.”

The DOJ lawyer representing the FDA opined that the “FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID.”

Circuit Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod asked, “What about when it said, ‘No, stop it’? Why isn’t that a command? If you were in English class, they would say that was a command.”

The DOJ lawyers said the statements were “merely quips.”

Hmmm … I remember that, during the pandemic, I asked my primary what support he was willing to provide if we got the disease. He specifically told me he would not prescribe ivermectin, because “We don’t think it’s … “ then he paused and just said, “No.” I’ve often wondered if he didn’t finish his sentence, because he wasn’t entirely convinced the FDA was being honest. But he also wasn’t going to risk his license over it … which other doctors did do to save their patients.

2020 VOTER FRAUD: On October 8, 2020, one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, Michigan, City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a Black female dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk’s office. The Muskegon Police Department was contacted and asked to investigate. They, in turn, brought in the Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office and the State Police.

The suspect told investigators she was being paid “to find un-registered voters and provide them with a form so they can get registered to vote or obtain their absentee ballot.” On its own, that’s probably not illegal. However, thousands of the voter registrations she turned in had been filled out by the same person and contained invalid or non-existent addresses and phone numbers, and fake signatures.

The investigation was turned over to the FBI … who gave it the same rigorous attention they gave Hunter Biden’s laptop. And, to this day, people who were intimately involved continue to lie and claim there was never any evidence of widespread voter fraud in Michigan.

But the problem didn’t just occur in Michigan. Investigators turned up evidence that a Tennessee-based group called GBI Strategies was behind not just the Michigan voter fraud machine, but similar operations in several other swing states. GBI Strategies, which has been in operation since 2014, is heavily connected to the Biden campaign and various Democrat campaign committees.

FBI: Last February, somebody leaked an internal FBI memo revealing that the fibbies in Richmond, VA, were targeting so-called ‘radicalized‘ Catholics, which, according to them, are people who like the Latin Mass and believe that abortion and LGBTQ lifestyles are sinful. The memo stated that the alleged threat posed by people holding to such dangerous ideas could grow “in the run-up to the next general election cycle.“

When Director Wray was asked about it, he said it was just a single rogue field office and wasn’t reflective of the FBI in general. So imagine our surprise (not) when the Judiciary Committee obtained and shared the full memo, which revealed that Wray was totally lying. The Los Angeles and Portland offices were also involved.

I’m not holding my breath waiting on anybody to fix this.

MUSHROOMS: Mushrooms contain a lot of water. If they are stored in a way that traps moisture, they’ll spoil quickly.

OHIO: Sadly, Issue #1 failed, likely due to million$ that pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU poured into campaigning against it.

In November, Ohioans are due to vote on an amendment to make abortion in the state a “constitutional right.”
