CATHOLIC: A recent report shows that the percentage of Catholic priests who consider themselves “liberal” has precipitously decreased, while the proportion of more “conservative” priests is on the rise. The study on which the report was based shows that the shift is especially pronounced among today’s youngest priests. This comes as no surprise to any Mass-going Catholic. The worst priests are the ones who are past or are rapidly heading for retirement. [N.b., retired priests often fill in for active priests who get sick or go on vacation.]

OHIO: Yesterday, Ohio voters ensured they will be visited by the wrath of God. And I don’t mean this in a mean or superior way. I live in New York, which was the abortion capital of the country even before Roe vs. Wade.

PSA: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSXoI9MDvU0 [10:27] for a really good tutorial showing three ways to effectively deal with insults.

THE SQUAD: The House voted to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib for her support of Hamas’ October 7 attack as well as her calls for Israel to be wiped off the map. Twenty-two Democrats crossed the aisle to say, “Hell no!” to anti-Semitism. One hundred and eighty-eight Democrats did not.

TRUMP: At one point in yesterday’s absurd trial, the judge told Trump that location is irrelevant to the value of real estate. And when Trump’s lawyers suggested the judge should just listen to their client, he sniped, “I’m not here to hear what he has to say. He’s here to answer questions.”

This is worth watching! CLICK https://rumble.com/v3uc42j-trump-attorney-reveals-what-really-happened-when-judge-lost-it-in-courtroom.html [7:58] to see Kudlow interview one of Trump’s lawyer about what happened during his appearance in court yesterday.

In the part before 4:30, he plays a clip where some guy I don’t care to know calls Trump “an awful human being.” They all forget that he was absolutely beloved by New Yorkers before he decided to run for president as a Republican. The night of his first announcement, he and Melania went to a do at the Met. As they walked in, some of the Democrats elitist jerks in the hoity toity gathering booed him. Melania said, “I’ve never heard anyone boo you before.” It reminds me of how Sarah Palin was the absolute darling of the Left when, as governor of Alaska, she forced Big Oil to start paying Alaskans part of their profits every year. Then, the instant she became McCain’s running mate, they suddenly forgot all about that and proclaimed her the stupidest bimbo on the planet. ::smh::

And speaking of stupid bimbos … the witch behind the New York trial farce is New York Attorney General Letitia James who Kudlow says “looked like a damn fool” campaigned on targeting Donald Trump.

GRAMMY NOTES: For whatever this might be worth to any of y’all …

This bit in yesterday’s Mass reading hit me in a special way: “We, though many, are one Body in Christ
and individually parts of one another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them.” -Roman 12:5

Today, God inspired me to open up Romans 1:1. ” Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God …” 

Then, Mama sent me the latest Mabel and Olive video, which had the exact same theme. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOKOFkhPQ3Q [4:23].

2020: Jim Jordan just dropped a bombshell report entitled “The Weaponization of ‘Disinformation’ Pseudo-Experts and Bureaucrafts: How the Federal Government Partnered with Universities to Censor American’ Political Speech.” It details how Homeland Security, the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), Stanford University, and others worked to stifle anti-Biden and pro-Trump speech prior to the 2020 election.

2024: During the past three fiscal years, Democrats have spent $4.1 billion of money we don’t have to encourage LGBT-promoting projects here and around the world. Meanwhile, these same Democrats are actively sabotaging the two things the Constitution actually directs the federal government to do – protect the border and run the military.

ALABAMA: CLICK https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1721381180300275983?s=20 [:59] to hear “Marie” Willa Bobo-Smith weepily warn parents to get their kids out of ‘bama. “Marie” is described by The Naturist Living Show as “a transgender nudist whose top free activism and public nudism make her a trailblazer for trans visibility.”

A search pulled up a reference for “her” TikTok account that says, “I’m a 59 year old transwoman & married to beautiful cis afab. she/her/ hers🌈🌈.Watch the latest video from MarieWilla (@misswilla).” The account isn’t there any more. Neither is “her” Facebook page. Or “her” Twitter account.

I googled and learned that “afab” means “assigned female at birth.” IOW, “Marie”, a heterosexual male who is married to a heterosexual female, enjoys wearing long blue hair, pretending to be a female, and parading his nude moobs in public “for health reasons.”

I find it really interesting that the bare boob parade pictured above is supposedly about gender equality. I mean, think how many times real women have been irked by men who can’t get their eyes off their cleavage. The chances that anybody will look at the faces of bare-breasted women are between slim and none.

NASHVILLE MANIFESTO: The authorities have been stalling about releasing the contents of the Nashville shooter’s journal/manifesto. On Monday, Steven Crowder released three photos he said were leaked to him by a confidential informant. So far, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) said that they can offer no confirmation of the documents, but Fox News says they have confirmed their authenticity with the anonymous source who photographed them.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: For more gender absurd sports news, CLICK https://twitter.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1721896581396607132 [:16] to hear Caster Semenya claim, “My testicles don’t make me less of a woman.” Semenya was born with a rare genetic deformity that affects only males. He has no vagina or uterus and, although his testes never descended, he has naturally high testosterone levels in the typical male range, looks like a man, and is married to a woman who has given him two children by artificial insemination. (Undescended testes can not produce viable sperm.) Yet he “identifies” as “a different kind of female”, a perk that has allowed him to dominate South African track events.

GRAMMY NOTES: When we were newlyweds and Dearest had his first job (as in, zero office clothes), I scrimped to get him two new dress shirts. He’s an architect; this was back when they still used pens. With indelible ink. First day wearing shirt #1, he puts one of said pens in the breast pocket, capless. Co-worker notes this saying, “Oh boy. Your wife is not going to be happy about that.” He sheepishly reports his error when he gets home. Next day, he repeats the EXACT SAME MISTAKE on shirt #2. FYI: They call it “indelible”for a reason.

2024: A new poll by the New York Slime shows Biden losing to Trump in five of the six most important battleground states.

BIRTH RATES: We have been watching depressed birth rates in vaxxxed nations, hoping they might begin to recover. So far, the signs are that the depopulation elites we tin-foil-hatters suspect were behind the development of the ‘rona virus and the ‘rona mRNA jabs are winning.

CATHOLIC:The pastor of the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Brooklyn gave pop musician, Sabrina Carpenter, permission to film herself outside of the church and then dancing around half-dressed in the sanctuary.

After the video hit the internet, disturbed Catholics informed Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan who has celebrated a Mass of reparation and disciplined the priest. I watched the video and read the lyrics so you won’t have to. The song is a bouncy celebration of the singer feeling “so much lighter like a feather with you out my life.” Please feel free to skip it.

HAMAS: CLICK https://twitter.com/OliLondonTV/status/1721292907414520277 [2:51] to see an Israeli comedy show mocking LGBTQI+ activists supporting Hamas.

LOCKDOWNS: A recent survey by the American Psychological Association (APA) found we are still grappling with the mental and physical stressors the lockdowns caused. Chronic stress can cause inflammation, breaking down the immune system and raising the risk of all sorts of ailments, including stroke and heart disease. The APA’s CEO says, “To move toward posttraumatic growth, we must first identify and understand the psychological wounds that remain.”

UNVAXXXED: The Daily Mail reports there has been an uptick in women seeking sperm donations from men who claim to have not gotten the ‘rona jab. The CDC claims there is zero evidence that the shots affect fertility. The post-jab drops in birth rates suggest otherwise.

VAXXX: A study entitled “Assessment of Myocardial 18F-FDG Uptake at PET/CT in Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2–vaccinated and Nonvaccinated Patients” appeared in Radiology on September 19, 2023. In it, researchers report that the myocardial abnormalities seen in symptomatic vaxxxed heart patients show up in asymptomatic vaxxxed (1 to 180 post jabs) but not in asymptomatic non-vaxxxed individuals. The study looked at 18F-FDG uptake which indicates significantly increased risk for multiple myocardial abnormalities.

COVID-19: Their lies and bad policies did an enormous amount of damage, yet now they want us to forgive and forget. These are the same people demanding that modern People of Pallor who have never owned a single slave hand over “reparation” payments to People of Color who have never been enslaved. Even worse, they demand we live in perpetual shame for having been born with less melanin than they have, yet somehow manage to excuse their grotesque hatred as “not” racist. So no. I will not forget the economic and emotional damage they wrought. I will forgive, but only because God commands it and also because I refuse to become like them. But forget? Nope. Not ever. Especially not on election days!

IRONY: Australia’s state media (Australian Broadcasting Company) published a sneering condemnation of Elon Musk’s X … then posted it on X … where it has not been censored. It’s almost like X allows free speech. The article called X a “haven for hate” that is full of “right-wing extremists.” I used to belong to a watercolor group on Facebook, until the moderator announced she was quitting X, because of all the “right-wing hate.” I was like, fine, sweetie, you do you, but I’m out of here.

AUDUBON SOCIETY: Some idiot decided bird watchers have to be protected from bird names that are ‘clouded by racism and misogyny.’

From the comments posted at links below: “Nominations for the blackbird are…”

  • “no change since black birds matter”
  • “The Oppressed bird”
  • “bird of color”

“Will they change the name of the crow? After all, Jim Crow was a well respected DEMOCRAT back in his day, and they’re the ones bringing about all this ridiculous wokeness.”

“Well, at least there were no bird species named ‘Uncle Bens’ or ‘Aunt Jemima’. Phew, that was close!”

CALIFORNICATION: In another example of our culture’s decline, a San Diego middle schooler who painted his face to show school spirit at a football game has been banned forever from attending any more school sporting events. The reason cited in the paperwork: “intent to harm.”

The 13-year-old did not cause any disruptions at the game and neither he nor his parents had any idea there was a problem (however specious) until they were called on the carpet because he painted black on his face, so therefore it was a deliberately racist act.

The student told the principal he didn’t know what “blackface” was. Here’s the dictionary definition: “dark makeup worn to mimic the appearance of a Black person and especially to mock or ridicule Black people.” As in, not dark makeup worn to express one’s team spirit.

CATHOLIC: Today, I want to feature a delightful little piece of Catholic culture. Yesterday was the Feast of All Saints. At Catholic TV Network, the daily Mass was attended by fourth graders dressed as their favorite saints. 🙂 CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leG6G2PUg8w [16:43] to hear Trent Horn respond to some of the most common objections to the Catholic practice of asking the Saints in Heaven to pray for us. He goes all theology and logic about this. For me, it is enough to know that the abundance of historical evidence shows God is immensely pleased when we ask His Saints to pray for us.

CANCEL CULTURE: On Aug 6, 2021, Insider published an opinion piece by Scott Galloway entitled “Half of America has its head up its ass. It’s time for a vaccine mandate.” It was headed up with the photo above. In it he said fun, friendly stuff like, “Enough already. Federal law should require any citizen who wants to cash a government check, use public transport, or enter a place of business to show proof of vaccination.” He spent paragraphs likening the coronavirus to World War II and bemoaning the anti-science stupidity of those who didn’t trust the so-called vaccine that isn’t and never was a vaccine. Then he smugly finished with, “Our nation has been frayed, if not torn apart. A key component of our repair will be a renewed belief that there is a truth — one based not on ideology or opinion but on data and science. This vaccine is our generation’s call. Let’s answer it. Let’s get two million fellow Americans off this beach. Life is so rich.”

Now, Scott Galloway says, “I was on the board of my kids’ school during COVID. I wanted a harsher lockdown policy. In retrospect: I was wrong. The damage to kids of keeping them out of school longer was greater than the risk.” So, is he sorry about the shabby way he and so many others treated those of us who were rightly angry about the lockdowns and skeptical of the rush to inject the whole world? No. He says, “We were doing our best. But let’s give a little grace and forgiveness for the shit show that was COVID.” I don’t remember any of them giving us any grace back when we were being excluded from jobs, public spaces, and family holidays. And I have yet to have any of those who gave us crap personally offer any apology. I’ll work at forgiving, not because they deserve it, but because God requires it.

CONNECTICUT: A Sept. 12 Democrat primary election for Bridgeport’s Democrat mayoral candidate has been invalidated by a judge, who said the evidence presented was “shocking.” It’s amusing to note that they don’t just cheat us, but also each other.

COVID-19: COVID-19 has a new variant that has been named HV.1. At the moment, it is the leading variant diagnosed in the United States. It is more contagious than, but causes the same symptoms as Omicron – i.e., cough, fatigue, congestion, and runny nose. IOW, it’s a cold. None of the current COVID vaccines are effective against it. So, gosh, it’s almost like we’ll have to depend on our immune systems for this one.

EDUCATION: Caroline Andrews sent out a screenshot she said came from the College Board’s AP Classroom platform, which appears to provide practice tests. The data in the graphic above was presented in the AP test for Human Geography. It shows the birth and death rates for five countries, then asks which of these countries has the most “female empowerment.” The test counts “France” as the correct answer, because it has the lowest birth rate. (Never mind that it has the second highest death rate.)

HAMAS: CLICK https://twitter.com/HenMazzig/status/1719703605366689800 [1:15] to hear Hamas spokesman, Ghazi Hamad, state emphatically that they will not stop until Israel is gone. “We will repeat the October 7 massacre time and again, 1M times if we need to, until we end the occupation.” The journalist asked, “Occupation of Gaza?” Hamad clarified, “No, all of Israel.” He is also reported to have said, “Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove it.”

VAXXX: The CDC has announced that, in 2022, U.S. infant death rates increased dramatically for the first time in many years. The CDC began recommending all pregnant women get the ‘rona jab as of August 1, 2021.

The increase rise was especially high for babies of white women, who had the highest rates of vaccination. Meanwhile, the same minorities who were most reluctant to get the Fauci Ouch also had the lowest increases in infant mortality.

Bacterial sepsis as a cause of death in infants also increased significantly. The COVID-19 “vaccines” have been shown to markedly decrease immune responses in children.

MICHIGAN: In 2016, the Tennes family farm was banned from selling at a farmer’s market in Lansing, because they said out loud that they agree with Catholic doctrine re: that marriage is between a man and a woman. Their six-year legal battle has ended with a district judge strongly chastising the city for violating the Catholic family’s right to religious freedom. The family says they never refused to sell to anyone at the market, but they do decline to host same sex marriages at their farm.

PHOs: Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHOs) are oils that have had hydrogen added to make them more solid and stable at room temperature.

Of these, approximately 31.2% developed neurological complications post-vaccination, including tremors, insomnia, muscle spasms, headaches, parethesia (burning, prickling, itching, or tingling of the skin), vertigo, diplopia (double vision), and sleepiness.

COVID-19: A study entitled “Incidence and Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in US Child Care Centers After COVID-19 Vaccines” appeared in JAMA on October 24, 2023. It reports on a 12-month study of 83 children in 11 child care centers (CCCs) and their personal contacts with child care providers and household members. What they found was that, contrary to popular opinion, CCCs actually play a minor role in the transmission of the ‘rona virus.

2024: Mike Pence has called off his bid for the GOP nomination saying, “This is not my time.” You think? An August AP poll found that 57% of Americans viewed Mr. Pence negatively vs. 28% who viewed him positively.

BIDENOMICS: The average interest rate for the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage has now hit 7.79%, the highest since Clinton was in office. So maybe it’s no surprise that home buying activity has slowed to a virtual standstill. Economists say 2023 will be the slowest year for home sales since 2008, when the housing bubble burst.

DUAL JABS: Researchers with both the Kaiser Permanente and the FDA report finding that getting the ‘rona jab and a flu jab on the same day increases one’s risk of stroke. Another study suggested that the immune response for the two diseases may be lower when the shots are given on the same day.

GEORGIA: Last week, the state’s Supreme Court voted 6–1 to uphold the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act, which Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, signed into law in 2019, which specifically outlaws abortion procedures where an unborn child has a detectable heartbeat.

MAINE: Police discovered the dead body of the man believed to be responsible for Wednesday’s massacre that killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine. He apparently took his own life.

MINDFUL WEBWORKER: I was so happy to receive this update from his daughter – “Dad is doing much better! Out of the hospital and happy to be alive! Praise God! He will have a bit of a recovery but we are all so grateful. Probably you will “see” him around soon!” Our prayers continue. ❤

VAXXX: A paper entitled “Cardiac side effects of RNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: Hidden cardiotoxic effects of mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 on ventricular myocyte function and structure” was published on October 12, 2023 in British Journal of Pharmacology. In it, scientists report that, within 48 hours of exposing rat and human heart muscle cells in vitro to the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 serums, those heart cells were showing multiple significant dysfunctions.

In addition, the cells were producing the ‘rona spike proteins. I’m thinking this means cells had incorporated the spike protein code into their own DNA. If I got this right, then it is exactly what the earliest “vaxxx deniers” said they were worried about. If the mRNA serum both stimulates production of immune antibodies to the spike protein and causes the body’s own cells to start producing spike proteins, then you’ve got yourself a massive autoimmunity problem.
