Eucharistic Miracles

In today’s Bits & Bytes, I reported on a new Eucharistic miracle that occurred on June 9, 2022 in Honduras. It struck me that these seem to be coming at an extraordinary pace, so I did a search. I have only included the miracles that involved the bread and/or wine turning into visible flesh and/or blood that is still preserved to this day. While many of these have not been examined by scientists, enough have been that I think it’s worth listing them all, since I am primarily interested in the quantity and frequency of such events in the past as compared with now.

SUMMARY: Up until the twelfth century, there were only four such miracles. The number peaked in the early Middle Ages, with six in the 12th century, ten in the thirteenth, and six again in the fourteenth century.

Things slowed way down between the Renaissance and the modern era, with just one in the fifteenth century, none in the sixteenth or seventeenth, one in the eighteenth century, then none again in the nineteenth and two in the twentieth century.

My sense that these incidents are coming more frequently does seem to be supported by the evidence. There have been four so far this century, each one studied by scientists and approved by bishops. There was also a fifth one which was inexplicably (to me) buried rather than sent to a lab.

In addition, just during 2022 and 2023, there have also been four miraculous Eucharistic incidents that did not involve flesh or blood, but which, because they were videotaped and attested to by multiple living witnesses, deserve to be included here.

===================================

595: Rome, Italy – A consecrated host turned into bloody flesh; the substance is preserved at a monastery in Anechs, Germany.

750: Lanciano, Italy – At the consecration, a priest who doubted the Real Presence saw the host turn into flesh that took the form of a heart, while the wine turn into blood that coagulated into five globules of different sizes. These materials have been continuously preserved by religious orders and are currently at the Franciscan church in Lanciano.

At the time, the local archbishop ordered an investigation during which it was declared that the Flesh and Blood appeared to be human. In addition, each individual globule of blood weighed the same as the others, whether weighed individually or in various combinations. IOW, one globule weighed the same as all five together.

In 1574, eight centuries later, the globules were weighed again, with the same result. Also, the materials showed no sign of deterioration.

The most thorough study occurred in 1970-71 and again in 1981 (with more advanced technology), after another four centuries, Pope Paul VI permitted examination by Dr. Odoardo Linoli, professor of anatomy and pathological histology, chemistry and clinical microscopy, and head physician of the hospital of Arezzo. Linoli’s findings were independently verified by Dr. Ruggero Bertelli, professor emeritus of human anatomy at the University of Siena.

The major findings from this research include the following: The Flesh, yellow-brown in color, has the structure of the myocardium (heart wall) and the endocardium, the membrane of fibrous-elastic tissue lining all the cardiac cavities. These have the same appearance as in the human heart. No traces of preservatives were found in the elements, yet despite being 1,200 years old, had the same properties as fresh human blood, type AB.

You’ll notice below how often the miraculous materials turn out to be AB positive, the same blood type found on the Shroud of Turin. People with AB positive blood can receive transfusion from any blood type, which is why it is called the “universal receptor” blood type.

1010: Ivorra, Spain – During Mass, the consecrated wine transformed into Blood and poured onto the altar cloth, then flowed on to the ground. Pope Sergius IV certified the miracle, whose relics are preserved in the same church.

1194: Augsburg, Germany – A consecrated host turned into bloody flesh, which is preserved at the Convent of the Holy Cross. Various sites say, “Over the centuries various analyses were done which have always maintained that it is flesh and human blood.” But none detail them.

1222: Meersen, The Netherlands – Blood from a consecrated host dripped on to the corporal, which is preserved at the Basilica of the Holy Sacrament.

1228: Alatri, Italy – A consecrated host turned into bloody flesh. Pope Gregory IX documented the incident the same year. The host is preserved at the cathedral in Alatri.

1230: Florence, Italy – Consecrated wine turned into blood. Pope Boniface IX approved veneration of the substance, which has been preserved at the Church of St. Ambrose.

1263: Bolsena, Italy – Just after the consecration, the host began to bleed. Pope Urban IV investigated the miraculous host and bloodstained corporal (linen altar cloth), confirmed its authenticity, then instituted a new feast day – the Solemnity of Corpus Christi.

1273: Offida, Italy – A consecrated host turned into bloody flesh. The flesh and corporal are preserved at the Church of St. Augustine.

1294: Valvasone, Italy – A woman washing altar linens noticed blood on the corporal. Looking more closely, she discovered it was flowing from a particle of consecrated host that was stuck in the fibers. The cloth is preserved in the Church of the Most Holy Body of Christ.

1300: O’Cebreiro, Spain – Consecrated bread and wine turned into flesh and blood. The elements are preserved at the church where the miracle occurred. Pope Innocent VIII and Pope Alexander VI both doc8mented the miracle.

1310: Fiecht, Austria – Right after the consecration, the wine turned into blood and began to boil and overflow the chalice. In 1480, a chronicler said the blood was still fresh. This miracle has been declared authentic; the blood is preserved to this day at the Monastery of St. Georgenberg.

1317: Herkenrode-Hasselt, Belgium – When a priest visiting a sick parishioner opened his pyx, he found the host was stained with blood. It is preserved at the Church of St. Quintinus in Hasselt.

1330: Cascia, Italy – A priest who was preparing to visit a dying parishioner carelessly tucked a consecrated host in his prayer book. When he went to get it, he discovered it was bleeding; both pages stained with blood. One of the pages is conserved in Cascia.

1356: Macerata, Italy – During the consecration, blood gushed forth from the consecrated host falling into the chalice, as well as onto the altar linen. After the Mass, the priest promptly reported the event to the bishop who opened a canonical investigation. The linen is preserved at the cathedral.

1370: Brussels, Belgium – A thief who hated the Catholic Church stole some consecrated hosts and, on Good Friday, he and some buddies stabbed at them with a knife. When they began to bleed, they freaked out and turned them in. They are preserved at the cathedral in Brussels.

1370: Cimballa, Spain – A consecrated host transformed into flesh with a blood flowing out; the stained corporal is preserved at the Church of the Purification of Our Lady.

1374: Middleburg-Lovanio, Belgium – During Mass, a consecrated host turned into bloody flesh. The bishop approved veneration of the substance, which is preserved in two churches in the area.

1380: Boxtel-Hoogstraten, The Netherlands – Consecrated wine spilled on to the corporal and altar cloth turned into blood. The corporal is preserved at a church in Boxtel; the altar cloth is at a church in Hoogstraten.

1384: Seefeld, Austria – During Mass, blood began to flow from the consecrated host. The host is preserved at the Church of St. Oswald.

1400: Boxmeer, The Netherlands – During a Mass, consecrated wine turned into Blood and bubbled out of the chalice, splashing onto the corporal and coagulated into a lump the size of a walnut. This lump is preserved at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. It has not rotted or changed in size or shape.

1405: Bois-Seigneur-Isaac, Belgium – A consecrated host bled and stained the corporal. After investigating, the bishop approved the veneration of the corporal, which is preserved at the monastery.

1411: Ludbreg, Croatia – Immediately after the consecration, the wine turned into blood, which is preserved at the church in Ludbreg. Pope Leo X approved veneration of the substance.

1420: Guadalupe, Spain – During the Consecration of the Mass, a doubting priest saw a dense cloud come down above the altar. Asking for his doubts to be removed, the priest saw the cloud be replaced by a vision of the Host suspended above the chalice. Drops of Blood were falling into the chalice, which overflowed, staining the corporal and pall, which are preserved at the church.

1429: Alkmaar, The Netherlands – Consecrated wine that accidentally spilled on to the priest’s chasuble turned into blood. After numerous investigations, the bishop approved the miracle. The chasuble is preserved at the cathedral where the miracle occurred.

1430: Dijon, France – Blood flowed out of a consecrated host. When it dried, it left an image of Jesus sitting on a throne. The host was preserved until 1794, when revolutionaries destroyed it. I include it here, because it was well documented before it was destroyed.

1572: Gorkum, The Netherlands – When an anti-Catholic mercenary stomped on a consecrated host with his spiked boots, the host bled in three places. It was moved to Catholic Spain for safe keeping where it has been preserved at the Monastery of San Lorenzo in Escorial. It is known as the Sagrada Forma (sacred form).

1730: Siena, Italy – This one is a slight departure, having no blood or flesh. However, it has been repeatedly studied, so I’m including it. On Aug. 14, 1730, thieves stole a silver pyx containing 351 consecrated hosts. The stolen hosts were recovered in the dusty alms box of a nearby church and were returned to the Franciscan church.

The hosts were examined in 1780, 1789, 1889, 1815, 1854, and 1914. Each time, they were found to still be as fresh as the day they were baked. During one of the examinations, some non-consecrated hosts were sealed in a tin box for 10 years. When reopened, the commission found only worms and rotten fragments instead of the hosts.

1991: Betania, Venezuela – During Mass, a consecrated host began to bleed from one side. Investigation showed the blood is type AB positive, which does not match the priest’s blood type. The host is preserved in a convent in Los Teques. During an exposition in 1998, it was filmed pulsating and bleeding. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqsRDD6kXWY to see the video.

1996: Buenos Aires, Argentina – A consecrated Host was found in the back of St. Mary’s Church. The priest put it into water, but instead of dissolving, it developed red stains that became larger over time. This host has been examined by forensic scientists at different labs and in different countries in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2004. The scientists were not told the source of the sample; they found fragments of human DNA, human heart tissue, and living white blood cells. (White blood cells normally die within two hours after being taken from a body.)

2006: Tixtla, Mexico – On Oct. 21, 2006, a consecrated host began to bleed. Scientific analysis determined the blood had not been placed on the Host, but had originated from the interior of it. In addition, the blood type was AB and contained intact white blood cells, red blood cells and macrophages. They also found heart muscle tissue and fragments of DNA. It is preserved at the parish where the miracle occurred.

2008: Sokolka, Poland – After a priest at St. Anthony’s dropped a host, he put it in water and had the parish sacristan lock it up. Only the two of them had keys. A week later, the sacristan checked and found the host had acquired a bright red stain, yet the water was clear.

The archbishop ordered that the host be taken out of the water and placed on a small corporal, which was then put back in the tabernacle. It was kept this way for three years. A few months later, the host had dried, leaving a stain on the cloth. A piece of the altered host was taken and analyzed independently by two histopathologists at the Medical University of Bialystok.

The results of both independent studies were in perfect agreement: there are no foreign substances on the host; the transformed material is myocardial (heart) tissue of a living person who is nearing death; and, the structure of the heart muscle fibers is deeply intertwined with that of the bread, in a way impossible to achieve with human means.

2013: Legnica, Poland – When a consecrated host falls to the ground, the code of Canon Law says it should be placed in water and locked in the Tabernacle until it dissolves, after which the water is poured into the earth. When the priest at St. Hyacinth’s went to check on just such a host, he found it not only had not dissolved, but also had acquired a red spot. Scientists determined the red material was human tissue that showed characteristics of heart muscle in a person who had been brutalized. The bishop approved veneration of the corporal in 2016.

2022: Gracias, Honduras – A corporal was discovered to have blood on it. A medical center in Tegucigalpa confirmed the stain was not man-made and is human blood, type AB positive. The bishop has recognized that this is a genuine miracle.

2022: Zapotlanejo, Mexico – Numerous people attending Adoration saw the consecrated host beat like a human heart. Multiple people filmed it with their cell phones; the priest collected the videos so they could be studied without alteration. One of these videos is posted @ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BzbxHu_k7vI. So far as I could find out, the diocese has not (yet?) investigated this.

2022: California – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJe5ng_m83o [6:42] to see a video taken during Benediction after a Eucharistic Procession for Life that had gone by a newly opened Planned Parenthood near the church. Some say it looks like a beating heart or the wings of an angel. I think it looks like is a fetal echocardiograph like the ones shown @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0lIPKDM95I.

2023: Donegal, Ireland – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duBUAXrF2Nw [7:21] to hear the priest’s personal testimony of a consecrated host miraculously flying through the air. N.b., in my research, I came across a number of stories about hosts flying or shining with light, but the stories were so old that I decided to leave them off this list. However, this one is from this summer and was witnessed by three people who are still alive.

2023: Thomaston, Connecticut – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA28qyKITBY [4:31] to hear about another one that doesn’t involve flesh or blood, but rather a miraculous multiplication of the consecrated hosts. I’m including it here for the same reason as I did the Donegal, Ireland, miracle.

2023: Melbourne, Australia – This one is puzzling. It appears from this report @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm8I8YNV86A that another dropped host started to bleed. But, the diocese decided that, instead of investigating it as a miracle, they’d bury it! They claim it’s because they weren’t certain the host had been consecrated. Uhh … wouldn’t the miracle be a sign that it was? My take on this is that this bishop is one of those false teachers who is working for the wrong side.

CATHOLIC: The bishop of the Diocese of Gracias, Honduras, has officially recognized a new Eucharistic miracle. On June 9, 2022, an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion in a rural parish in the small town of San Juan discovered a corporal – a linen cloth placed beneath the chalice at Mass – stained with blood in the tabernacle. A medical center in Tegucigalpa confirmed the stain was not manmade and is human blood, type AB positive. This is the same blood type found in the Eucharistic miracle in Lanciano, Italy, on the Shroud of Turin, and every other miraculous blood-related object I am aware of. People with AB positive blood can receive transfusion from any blood type, which is why it is called the “universal receptor” blood type.

CENSORSHIP: Even memes weren’t spared from the Biden White House’s censorship efforts. When social media platforms made an effort to object, the White House upped the pressure until they caved. CLICK https://twitter.com/Jim_Jordan/status/1684595375875760128 to read Rep. Jim Jordan’s entire thread.

CLIMATE HYSTERIA: CLICK https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1684567927734018057 [:44] to hear the UN Secretary-General up the ante on the Wrongs’ climate hysteria.

Firstly, his switch to “Global Boilingis beyond absurd. The average temperature on Earth is currently somewhere around 57°F. Water boils at 212°F.

And, secondly, his claim that “this” is in line with predictions is a load of bologna. Here is just a sampling of wrong predictions from people just like him …

GLOBAL COOLING CRISIS!

1970: Ice age by 2000 [Nope]

1978: No End in Sight to 30-Year Cooling Trend [NASA shows it ended in 1979]

GLOBAL WARMING CRISIS!

1988: James Hansen forecasts increase regional drought in 1990s [The ‘90s were record wet.]

1988: Days over 90°F will increase from 35 per year to 85 in Washington, D.C. [The number of hot days in the DC area peaked in 1911, and have been declining ever since.]

1988: The Maldives will be completely under water in 30 years. [Google for great rates on places to stay in the Maldives.]

1989: New York City’s West Side Highway underwater by 2019 [Yeah, no.]

2000: ‘Children won’t know what snow is.’ [2022-2023 Winter Season Summary: Daily and seasonal snowfall records were broken at several locations.]

2008: Arctic will be ice-free by 2018. [Nope.]

2009: Prince Charles says only 8 years to save the planet. [Good thing for his kingly aspirations that he was wrong about that one, hmm?]

2013: Arctic ice-free by 2015. Or maybe 2016. [Nope.]

CLIMATE CHANGE CHAOS

2014: Only 500 days before ‘climate chaos’. [The warming trend stopped.]

2021: A peer-reviewed paper published in the International Journal of Global Warming identified 79 “apocalyptic” climate change predictions since 1970. Forty-eight of them have failed; the other 31 are likely just as wrong, but the prediction end dates haven’t expired yet.

GLOBAL BOILING CRISIS

2023: Never mind that the winter of 2022-2023 gave us some record-breaking cold and snow. This summer has been a scorcher. Time to rebrand!!

DETRANS: From the age of 13, Oli London struggled with body dysmorphia and “identity issues,” leading him to hate the way he looked. After 32 plastic surgeries, London began wearing female clothes, shoes, and makeup. But he said that he still “didn’t feel right.”

Then, he walked into a Catholic church where he met a helpful priest and experienced kind people who encouraged him to keep attending, even if he was still an atheist. “I started going a few times a week. I started reading the Bible myself at home,” he said. Now 32, he says, “Letting Jesus and God into my heart [has] saved my life. It’s brought me back to who I am as a person, finding God.”

VAXXX: There are two types of RNA – mRNA and modRNA; they are completely different. True mRNA occurs naturally, lives in our cells for only a short time, and is relatively fragile. It can not be used in a vaccine,because it is destroyed too quickly by the immune system. The COVID-19 jabs contain artificially modified mRNA – aka, modRNA – which lasts longer.

Modified RNA has serious dangers associated with it. For example, it can not only invade any kind of human cell, it can even cross the blood-brain barrier. Every cell it infects stops performing whatever its normal, necessary function was and, instead, uses all its energy to create and release the viral protein. The body’s normal immune response to viruses is to destroy infected cells. But in a natural infection, our immune systems stop this process once the battle is won, which is typically only a few days. This is not true for cells infected with modRNA. For more details, click the link.

GRAMMY NOTES: Nothing makes me feel quite so old as realizing an entire generation of human beings does not remember when hardly anybody owned a computer or a mobile phone and there was no such thing as the internet. My kids were all in school before I got my first computer. It had 40 megs of RAM and my friend was so jealous. He had gotten his first computer months earlier; it only had 15 megs.

BORDER: FAUXTUS’ Health and Human Services (HHS) has lost track of an estimated 85,000 kids who entered the country illegally as unaccompanied minors. Many of the kids who have been found so far have been working, off the books and underpaid, instead of attending school.

HUNTER BIDEN: Yesterday, a Delaware district judge rejected First Son’s sweetheart plea deal, allowing the investigation into his shenanigans to continue and exposing him to the full force of legal consequences for his actions. Currently, Hunter Biden faces the penalty of two years in prison for tax fraud, a $25,000 fine for each tax violation count, and up to 10 years in prison for illegally owning a gun.

McConnell turned 81 in February. I’m thinking we need an upper age limit on legislators the same as the Catholic Church has for priests (70 to 75 depending on the diocese) and bishops (75).

POLITICAL THEATER: Progressive Democrat Greg Casar held a press conference where he finally broke his thirst strike after refusing to eat or drink anything for 8 hours to protest for workers’ rights. Eight. Whole. Hours. ::yawn:: Between dawn and dusk of every single day of the entire month of Ramadan, Muslims refrain from all food and drink.

I’ve BTDT many, many times … mostly with physicians and priests, because they’re the ones I’ve gone to most often for help with my numerous weird problems. This guy really gets it and his advice is excellent.

I have been with my current primary since 2016. My husband always goes with me and I (almost) always bring my journal and any questions I’ve written down. One time, I forgot to bring my papers and my doctor seemed disappointed that I was unprepared to get the most from our encounter. Another time, I had so many questions that it took us 45 minutes to get through them. He not only gave me the time, but also was really energetic and engaged the whole time. I think the fact that he so strongly supports me being active and pro-active are signs that he is a really good doctor. And yeah, he always sits at my level when we’re talking and never wears a lab coat or ask me to disrobe unless/until it’s necessary.

AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY: The ACS is sent to about 3.5 million homes every year. It contains 28 pages filled with questions about personal matters the government has no business asking about. Yet the potential fines for the federal offenses of refusing to participate can be as high as $100 for every question not answered and $500 per intentionally false response.

In short, noncompliance could result in total fines ranging from $10,000 and $50,000. Anyone who gets a survey and does not return it in a timely way will get hounded by Census Bureau employees, first with phone calls, then with home visits.

The ACS is unconstitutional, as are many of the questions included on the Constitution requires only that citizens be counted every ten years. The Census Bureau boasts a 97% success rate with the ACS, yet has never pursued fines against the 3%, probably because they know the stupid thing is unconstitutional.

If they pursued a court case, they’d lose and the whole program would be canceled which, among other things, would mean a lot of them would lose their jobs. The catch is … if you happen to be the one person they choose to prosecute, you’ll be in court fighting them for years.

BORDER: FAUXTUS’ DOJ is actually suing Gov. Greg Abbot for trying to do the job the Constitution delegates to the federal government. That is, protect our borders. Texas put a floating barrier in the Rio Grande to discourage illegal immigrants from attempting to cross into the United States.

The lawsuit demands it be removed, because the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1899 bars the “creation of any obstruction not affirmatively authorized by Congress, to the navigable capacity of any of the waters of the United States.” Un-freaking-believable.

Gov. Abbot responded, “Texas will see you in court, Mr. President.

COVID-19: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1273237280230935 and watch to the end. It’s short.

EXORCIST: Msgr. Rossetti’s latest diary entry is all about how boring demons are. “Demons are narcissistic and nasty. Their words are full of hatred and arrogance. And that is all they do. Malignant narcissism, in hell or on this earth, is profoundly boring.

There is no creativity. It is one long angry diatribe against all that is good. In short, it is incredibly boring. Demons do not know how to create or inspire. They can only destroy.”

Kinda sounds a lot like Wrongs. And he has good advice. “What is the best thing to do? Ignore them. As one saint said upon seeing a demon at the foot of the bed: “Oh, it’s only you.” Such deflates a narcissist.”

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1672189575391850502 [1:00] to hear a recording from 2020 when then-candidate Joe Biden angrily snarled at Peter Doocey for even asking him about his involvement with Hunter Biden’s business dealings: “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”

Not like we believed him for a moment. I mean, the year before, Hunter had told the New Yorker that he had discussed Burisma with his father in December of 2015. At the time of the conversation, VP Joe was preparing for a trip to the Ukraine as the Obama administration’s special envoy and Hunter was getting paid big bucks to do nothing much on Burisma’s board of directors.

Then, last summer, a voicemail recording from Hunter’s Laptop from Hell demonstrated that he had also discussed Hunter’s dealings with the Chinese oil giant CEFC in December 2018. In the voicemail, Joe says, “I thought the article released online, it’s going to be printed tomorrow in the Times, was good. I think you’re clear.”

More recently, we heard about the extortion texts Hunter sent to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao in which Hunter demands Zhao cough up the bucks or else. It is clear that his father was sitting right there, waiting with Hunter for Zhao to phone them about the matter.

And now we have Democrat Representative Dan Goldman admitting on record that Hunter discussed his business dealings with his dad. CLICK https://rumble.com/v316mmc-democrat-accidentally-proves-joe-biden-did-business-with-hunter.html [7:18]. At 4 minutes, he reiterates even more strongly that he “never discussed” and goes on to claim there was an “absolute wall” and “strict, strict rules” to keep his family’s business and his politics separate.

The WH is responding as per usual – i.e., acting like the print and media evidence of Joe’s denials never happened. Note the switch from “never discussed period” to “not in business with.”

As we have said many times before, the President was not in business with his son. As we have also said many times before, the Justice Department makes decisions in its criminal investigations independently, & in this case, the White House has not been involved.

They’ll probably stick with this, since “not in business with” can be interpreted to mean that Joe does not appear on any public records, say as a partner or member of the board of directors, of any of Hunter’s businesses.

FBI: Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allows U.S. intelligence to obtain the online communications without a warrant only of foreign nationals living abroad. In June 2022, the FBI used it to snoop into the online business of a U.S. senator and a state senator. In October, they did it to a state judge. Section 702 is set to expire at the end of the year, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have said they will refuse to back its reauthorization without significant reforms.

JUST STOP OIL: I’ve reported before on the antics of this ridiculous eco-terror group … throwing paint on masterpieces (which thankfully have glass protecting them); super-gluing their hands to walls, floors, and streets; blocking traffic; and, most recently, refusing to clear a way for a woman trying to get her sick newborn to the hospital. So, while I normally would not condone this kind of thing, in their case I’m just laughing and laughing cuz they totes deserved it.

MEDIA: The New York Slime published an angry article entitled, “The Steep Cost of Ron DeSantis’s Vaccine Turnabout” in which the authors recount how the evil Ron went his own way during the pandemic, even ::gasp:: opposing the jab (drawing horns and tail on).

Then, in paragraph fourteen, they admit, “Overall, the state’s death rate during the pandemic, adjusted for age, ended up better than the national average.” Even further down, they admit, “The total excess mortality of Florida is strikingly similar to that of the entire United States, despite older than average population of the Sunshine State.”

IOW … the only “steep cost” is that voters are well aware that Gov. DeSantis’ pandemic management was far superior to President Biden’s.

TRANS: Prisha (Abigail) Mosley (24) is suing the therapists, doctors, and medical facilities who claimed that taking testosterone and cutting off her breasts would resolve all her traumas and identity issues. Mosley’s teen years were traumatic to say the least. Her story is tragic and infuriating.

TWITTER: Elon Musk has announced he plans to get rid of the birds, starting with changing the name of his platform to his favorite letter, X. In fact, he’s so enthused by his new logo that he had it projected onto the side of Twitter HQ building.

Inquiring minds are asking … if we get rid of all the birds, what will we be doing instead of “tweeting”? I mean … “xing” is kinda weird, but I suppose we’d all get used to it just like we got used to “LOL” and all the rest.

BARBIE: Ezra Dulis at Breitbart says the trailers promise a “light fun adventure” about a Barbie doll going on a “quest into the Real World,” but delivers “a series of moralizing monologues.” Lauren Chen agrees, noting that “the lengths the studio went to hide how INSUFFERABLY WOKE this movie is are astounding.” And Christian Toto says the only thing missing from its man-hating script are a few Handmaid’s Tale robes. And, while the movie appears to be marketed for young girls and their moms, it includes dialogue about things like “sexualized capitalism, “patriarchy anxiety”, “Proustian flashback,” and “irrepressible thoughts of death.” It will be interesting to see how the first and second week-end box office takes compare.

CALIFORNICATION: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=613758694223505 [3:11] to hear a passionate black man denounce every aspect of the “soft bigotry” of white liberals, particularly Gavin Newsom.

In other Wrong news, California’s per-pupil spending is among the highest for all states (more than $20,000 per K-12 student). On national math SAT scores, California ranked 30th in the nation. In fact, two out of three California students fail to meet basic math standards. So, in yet another move that proves the Wrongs are out to destroy America, the California Board of Education voted to address this catastrophic failure by adopting a new math education framework that focuses on equity and social justice.

GOP state Sen. Scott Wilk, of Santa Clarita, who serves on the California Senate Education Committee, criticized the move. “If California wants to be a STEM leader it needs to keep high standards, and prove to minority students and students in underserved communities that they have the power within them to master those standards.” But sir … that’s the whole point. They do not want STEM leaders. They want dumb, dependent, angry sheep who vote Democrat and who will roll over for the one world dictator and take the Mark of the Beast.

BARBIE: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynU-wVdesr0 [42:44] if you want to listen to Ben Shapiro rant about how awful the new Barbie movie is. I listened to less than five minutes, which was plenty.

D.C.: According to the Metro Police, the number of holdups has exploded this year by nearly 60% as thieves assault citizens in broad daylight in so-called good neighborhoods. Some of them turn into fatal shootings. For many, many years, this Democrat-run city has had some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, meaning criminals have almost nothing to fear from the law-abiding sheep they fleece.

GRAMMY NOTES: Fr. Ripperger’s talk* about the Sin of Adam (avoid responsibility) and the Sin of Eve (control men) really opened my eyes to a lot of stuff. In particular, how so much of our current mess dates back to the 60s when both of those sins got ramped up on cultural approval steroids. E.g., the Pill, legal abortion, welfare rewarding single mothers, feminists demonizing SAHMs. It’s interesting how all that coincided with them yanking prayer out of schools.

Today’s Climate Lesson

Every leftie move to grab more power and money begins with a cooked up “emergency.”

Matt Walsh remarked on Ilhan Omar’s idiotic tweet, “If you believe that we have precise daily temperature records dating back 120 thousand years, then this claim may seem credible. But if you are approximately smarter than a sea sponge then you know that this is hysterical bullshit.”

I would agree, except I think it would be an insult to the Squarepants family. Below, I have put together a brief history lesson on this topic. In 1593, Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermoscope, which for the first time allowed temperature variations to be measured. It did not measure temperatures.

In 1612, the Santorio Santorio put a numerical scale on his water thermoscope. While it measured temperature, it was not very accurate. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinand II, used alcohol instead of water, but it still wasn’t very accurate. It was not until 1714, that Daniel Fahrenheit invented the first accurate mercury thermometer and, in 1724, introduced the standard temperature scale that bears his name. But it wasn’t until 1880, that anyone began systematically recording global surface temperatures.

We need to keep in mind that, when the leftie news says, “The hottest day in recorded history,” they are not talking about the past 6,000 years, but rather the past 143 years. In addition, we need to be aware that in 1880 the globe was coming out of what is known as the Little Ice Age. IOW, the warming we’ve been experiencing is part of a normal global trend. It only looks alarming, because they start the graph during an unusually cold period.

While it is true that we don’t have accurate surface temperature records from long ago, it is also true that various physical (e.g., tree rings) and historical records (e.g., agricultural, trade and population data) allow us to roughly estimate climate conditions. And these sources show that the Earth was both markedly warmer and markedly colder than it is now:

  • The Roman Warm Period (ca. 250 BC to 400 AD)
  • The Medieval Warm Period (ca. 1000 AD to 1200 AD)
  • The Little Ice Age (ca. 1300 AD to 1800 AD)

During all of those periods, humanity thrived. The very idea that fossil fuels are driving climate change or that a relatively small change in global temperature averages will wipe us out and kill the planet are beyond ludicrous.

BARBIE: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJLSIP9TD3k [10:20] to hear a scathing review by Dr. Ted Baehr. “The movie is worse than you could possibly expect. It’s hardcore propaganda … attack on men and women alike.” From what else I’ve read, it sounds like it glorifies the Sin of Eve – i.e., the desire to control men.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY: FBI documents released yesterday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) provide more evidence of the pay-to-play skulduggery of Joe and his clan. In them, an FBI confidential human source (CHS) reported what Burisma’s co-founder and CEO Mykola Zlochevsky told him about a meeting he had in in August 2016 when Joe Biden was Obama’s VP and point man on all things Ukraine.

According to the CHS report, the Bidens coerced Zlochevsky into paying the Bidens $10 million in exchange for using the weight of the United States government on his behalf. Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma; Zlochevsky wanted him gone. So money changed hands, Shokin got the ax, and the investigation into Burisma dirty dealings disappeared. Zlochevsky later told the CHS that he had seventeen recordings to back up his claim, two with Joe Biden and 15 with Hunter Biden.

DESTROYING AMERICA: Open borders, inflation, crippling debt, political division, social unrest, moral corruption, rampant violence, and the destruction of our once vast military capacity … let me think. What else has he done to get us ready to be conquered by the forces of Anti-Christ? Oh yes. Deplete our oil reserve. Stephen Green at PJ Media explains,

The SPR was created under President Gerald Ford in 1975 following the 1973–1974 Arab oil embargo, which turned out to be just the first of that decade’s two major oil shocks. Set in massive salt caverns in Louisiana and Texas, the SPR was supposed to hold enough crude oil—714 million barrels— to help us weather any future embargo. It took until about 2010—35 years!—to fill those reservoirs all the way up. It took Dementia Joe just two years to cut our reserves in half, down to levels not seen since 1983.

Edward Luwak at Unherd explains at the link below why he believes China is preparing for war.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1682184063480733696 [:07] to hear our Commander-in-Chief say, “How many times you read in infla – that a recession’s comin’? They’ven in Wall Street today said no they don’t see a resheck comin’ now.

PRACTICING THE PRESENCE OF GOD: In his book, Brother Lawrence shows us how to practice the presence of God, which he calls “the holiest, most common, most necessary practice in the spiritual life.” The practice of the presence of God is to take delight in his divine company and to talk lovingly with him at all times, especially in times of temptation, suffering, spiritual aridity, disgust, and even of unfaithfulness and sin. “By this continual mindfulness of God we shall crush the head of the devil and cause his weapons to fall from his hand.”

N.b., continual mindfulness of God is not the same as the self-centered mindfulness promoted by New Agers.

UK: Nigel Farage is a British broadcaster and former politician who heavily supported Brexit. His bank closed his accounts because his political beliefs did not align with their own. IOW, he isn’t bending the knee at the Wrongs’ altar.

This kind of thing will only become more common as we speed toward the end of time. We need to be fully prayed up at all times so that, when the caca hits the propeller, we will not cave to pressure or fear, but be bold in the Lord and confident in our salvation.
