CATHOLIC: The Calgary Catholic School District’s (CCSD) public website states that, “Even though there is continuous pressure in society to separate the secular and the religious (Church and State), as Catholics we are called by baptism to live our faith every moment of every day.

But they fired a substitute teacher for honestly answering a student’s question about what the Catholic Church teaches about the subject of the lesson. The letter he got is linked below; I grabbed a screenshot of part of it for the graphic above.

CHIEF TWIT: Musk suspended a bunch of high profile jerknalist accounts for violating Twitter’s new doxxing rule that prohibits doxxing (revealing online) “real-time location info of anyone. … Posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis isn’t a safety problem, so is ok.” Those suspended included Keith Olbermann and reporters for CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.

COVID-19: In Santa Clara County, the ‘rona jab was supposedly ten times as effective as it was anywhere else. Except … whoops … they lied. Imagine that. ::smh::

AOC: [2:22] – Her new documentary just hit theaters … and BOMBED with total opening week-end box office = $9,667, or about $81 per theater. Critics gave it 83%; viewers gave it 11%. Ten seconds of the trailer was all I could handle. I would seriously pay to NOT be forced to watch the whole movie!

BORDER: Further proof that the border disaster is deliberate. FAUXTUS is suing Arizona for trying to protect its citizens with a makeshift border wall made from shipping containers and razor wire.

CATHOLIC: N.b., the video mostly repeats a 30 second clip taken in 1998. Unless you want to see it over and over and over, there’s no reason to watch the whole 3 minutes. [3:19] – On December 8, 1991 in Betania, Venezuela, a consecrated host began to bleed during a Mass for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.

Scientists studied the host and found that, like the blood on the Shroud of Turin and in the Eucharist Miracle of Lanciano, the blood is AB positive, the universal receptor. For transfusions, a person with AB+ blood can receive donations of any blood type. I think it is so beautiful that Our Lord has this blood type, since He took on everybody’s blood debt on the cross.

The miraculous host is reserved in a convent in Los Teques for pilgrims to see. After 24 years, the blood on the host is still fresh.

CHIEF TWIT: After firing 2/3 of the bloated staff, Elon Musk is now auctioning off hundreds of high end and unnecessary pieces of equipment, including a half-dozen restaurant-quality espresso machines. It still boggles my mind that Twitter stock holders allowed the previous CEO to continue in his position when the company rapidly went from making big bucks to losing huge bucks under his leadership.

FACEBOOK: I just got a friend request from someone who is already a friend. I’ve mistakenly responded “confirm” to two of these, without checking that I was already friends with those people. It resulted in DMing about free money or something. Now I’m wondering if responding to the first one opened my friends up to being copied. Point being … if you get a friend request, CHECK your friends first.

PRIORITIES: Trannies are currently the Left’s “Most Favored Minority.” A born-female lesbian is facing up to three years in prison on criminal hate speech charges in Norway for saying, “It’s just as impossible for men to become a lesbian as it is for men to become pregnant. Men are men regardless of their sexual fetishes.”

S&G: The slippery slope is real. We are now nearing the bottom of it.

CLICK https://twitter.com/CatchUpNetwork/status/1603402284918267905 [:14] to hear California Democratic Rep. Katie Porter say that groomer and pedophile are identities, not criminal perversions.

In Ohio, a middle school teacher who refused refused to use students’ “preferred pronouns” was forced to resign. She is suing. I hope she wins, but I’m not holding my breath.

In Ireland, a high school teacher was suspended for the same “offense.” When he showed up to work anyway, the school had him arrested. He’s spending Christmas behind bars.

VAXXX: A recent study in The Journal of Medical Ethics shows that university booster mandates are unethical because the ‘rona boosters are at least 18 times more dangerous for young people (18-29) than catching the virus.

In Florida, Gov. DeSantis has announced he is impaneling a statewide grand jury to investigate “any and all wrongdoing in Florida with respect to Covid-19 vaccines.”

WHO: Jeremy Farrar is about to become the World Health Organization’s chief scientist. Farrar helped Fauci organize the Global Elite’s push back against the Wuhan lab leak theory. He is pro-abortion and reportedly quit the United Kingdom’s Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies because it would not embrace his über strict lockdown plan.

Today is the Feast of St. John of the Cross, the spiritual giant who wrote about the “Dark Night of the Soul.” The video is long, but I think it’s one of the best talks Father Chris has done. He explains what St. John meant and what it means for each of us who seek to grow in holiness and love for God.

CHIEF TWIT: The fifth batch of “Twitter Files” details Twitter employees’ thoughts on the day the platform decided to permanently suspend then-President Trump. The team struggled to find even one tweet to justify such a ban, until they thought to seek out “coded” language … but only if you interpreted his use of the phrase “American Patriots” to refer to the rioters!

Weiss tweeted, “Twitter deals with other heads of state and political leaders, including in Iran, Nigeria, and Ethiopia.” Then she listed these (and other) examples of tweets that were deleted for “glorifying violence,” but whose accounts were not banned.

Former Malaysian Prime Minister: “Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.”

Muhammadu Buhari, the President of Nigeria, about pro-Biafra groups: “Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war will treat them in the language they understand.”

The worst example of all is this one, by Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that Twitter didn’t even delete:

#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.

COVID-19: Two of the top banned-for-truth-telling doctors are back on Twitter. The following is from Dr. Malone’s substack (link below) – “As we approach 2023, you are now completing and have survived the third year of the largest, most globally coordinated psychological warfare operation in the history of mankind. During this period, on a daily basis, you have experienced the US Government and many western nations deploying highly refined, military-grade fifth generation warfare technologies against their own citizens. For those who have avoided the jabs which are neither safe nor effective, you deserve a medal for your ability to see through the fog of information warfare. Those, like me, who trusted the FDA and took the initial jabs only to suffer the adverse effects of same, perhaps a purple heart for being wounded in battle. For the millions of battlefield dead, the excess mortality documented by Ed Dowd and so many others, a moment of silent mourning is in order.”

P.S. If you see me wearing a mask inside my car, please don’t make sheep sounds at me! I’m hypersensitive to chemicals and have been masking since the ’80s.

FAUCI: CLICK https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1602682413741903873 [:08] to hear him say something utterly ridiculous.

Nancy Mace (SC-1) ask transgender civil rights attorney and transgender rights activist Alexandra Caraballo, “Do you believe that rhetoric targeting officials with violence for carrying out their constitutional cuties is a threat to democracy?” Caraballo says, “Yes.”

LET THE PERSECUTION BEGIN: “Biden signs bill to codify gay ‘marriage’ with activist drag queen in attendance … The president claimed the controversial legislation will ‘strike a blow against hate in all its forms.'”

The misnamed “Respect for Marriage Act” was designed to give Leftists another legal tool to use to persecute Bible believers. I expect lawsuits to be filed momentarily.

RAAACISM: Dr. Ben Carson was born into poverty and raised by an illiterate single mother. He went from inner-city Detroit public schools to Yale University to University of Michigan Medical School. He became one of the most influential and skilled pediatric neurosurgeons in the world and taught neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

He received more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees and numerous national merit citations. In 2001, both CNN and Time named him one of the nation’s 20 foremost physicians and scientists. The Library of Congress named him as one of 89 “Living Legends” on its 200th anniversary. In 2008, Carson was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. In 2010, he was elected into the National Academy of Medicine. He has written or co-written six bestselling books, and in 2009 he was featured in the TV film Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, starring Cuba Gooding Jr.

This week, the Detroit Public Schools voted to change the name of Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine to Crockett Midtown High School of Science and Medicine. Sadly, 80% of the students, alumni, staff, parents, and community surveyed favored removing Carson’s name, because he served four years as President Trump’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The new honoree, Dr. Ethelene Crockett, was the first African American woman in Michigan to become board certified in obstetrics and gynecology. In 1972 she led the fight to liberalize Michigan’s abortion laws, which obviously makes her a way better physician mentor for people of color than some stinky old Republican.

VAXXX: Another b.s. study is making the rounds, trying to show that being unvaxxxed makes you a road menace because “individual adults who tend to resist public health recommendations might also neglect basic road safety guidelines.”

Oh. Riiiiiiiiiiight. My very careful investigation into the actual science means I am a scofflaw who routinely runs red lights. Or something. Sorry, pal, but that theory doesn’t fly. I used to drive a school bus, which means I passed all the much more stringent road safety tests to obtain a Class 2 license. And I only ever got one traffic ticket in my whole life and that was from a cop who was being a jerk. I successfully fought it in court. Seeing the look the judge gave that cop was worth taking it to court! Well, that and not getting a ding on my license that could’ve cost me my job!

Another Guadalupe

We’re familiar with the 1531 apparitions and image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico that led to the mass conversion of the Aztecs. But did you know that, when that happened, there was already a famous shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in Spain?

The shrine at the 14th c. Royal Monastery in Guadalupe, Extremadura, houses a two foot tall cedar statue reputed to have been carved by St. Luke the Evangelist. In the sixth century, Pope Saint Gregory I gave it to Saint Leander, Bishop of Seville. Saint Leander is famous for having converted the Arian king’s son, Saint Hermenegild, to Catholicism. There will be more about Hermenegild later.

In 712, when the Moors conquered Seville, a group of priests took the statue with them when they fled the Muslim persecution. Its whereabouts were then lost to history until the Virgin Mary appeared in the early 14th century and instructed priests where to dig. After they discovered the statue, along with its provenance, they built a shrine at the spot to house and display it for pilgrims. The statue is usually clothed in elaborate, costly robes deemed suitable for the Queen of Heaven.

Pilgrims began arriving in 1326; soon after, copies of the statue were being venerated in satellite chapels. Our Lady of Guadalupe became one of the rallying points for Catholic Spaniards in their reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula. And it was at the monastery that the monarchs Isabelle I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon signed documents that authorized the first voyage of Christopher Columbus to the Americas in 1492. Upon his return, Columbus went back to the monastery to give thanks to God, who had granted him a safe voyage through the intercession of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

The apparitions and miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico happened in 1531, just four decades after Columbus landed in the New World and the Spanish monarchs began sending soldiers and missionaries over. The missionaries weren’t getting very far with the Aztecs, but after the Blessed Mother intervened, they converted by the millions, ending the daily human slaughter that had marked their brutal religion.

Jump forward another forty years to October 7, 1571, and the famous Naval Battle at Lepanto that marked the end of Muslim aggression into Europe. The Protestant Reformation was making inroads in drawing Catholics away from the faith, but in the Mediterranean areas that were most immediately threatened by the Muslims, the populace was still very Catholic.

For months prior to the day of the battle, Pius V had urged Catholics to say the daily rosary for victory over the Muslims and many of the sailors prayed the Rosary the night before the battle. Is it any wonder that October 7 is now celebrated as the Feast of Mary, Queen of Victory and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary? And get this … before the battle, the commander of the Catholic fleet prayed for victory before an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that he kept in his cabin!

But wait. We haven’t gone full circle quite yet. Remember St. Hermenegild, on whose behalf Pope Saint Gregory I gave St. Luke’s carving of Our Lady to Saint Leander, Bishop of Seville? The story behind that is that Hermenegild’s father, King Leovigild, was so furious about his son’s rejection of the Arian heresy that he had his son imprisoned, threatening to execute him if he refused to receive communion from an Arian bishop. Hermenegild held firm to his new faith, refused the heretical host, and was killed, thus becoming a Eucharistic Martyr. His death date – April 13th – is a feast day of special importance on the Spanish Catholic liturgical calendar.

Catholicism teaches that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine. The way I think about is this: If you mix a cup of red paint with a cup of yellow paint, you get two cups of orange paint. But with Jesus, the cup of red paint (representing His humanity) and the cup of yellow paint (representing His divinity) mix to create one cup of paint that is completely red and completely yellow. It’s a mystery, one that people who prefer the transcendent God fit into a box small enough for their puny human brains to understand are always trying (with Satan’s help) to simplify.

Heresies about Jesus’ human/divine nature tend to go one of two ways. Like the Arians, some of them hold that Jesus was just a man, albeit a very special man. The others say that he was only divine and that his humanity was an illusion. Both errors are still kicking around today with one notable example being Islam. Like St. Hermenegild’s father, Muslims believe that Jesus was nothing more than a very holy man. So now you see how we truly have come full circle!

But wait, there’s more! The Blessed Mother promised that, within 12 months after God sends the Warning (aka, Illumination of Conscience), He will perform a great miracle at Garabandal, Spain, which will be accompanied by many healings and followed by a permanent sign. Conchita, one of the seers, has said that this miracle will happen between the 8th and 16th of April, May, or June, on a Thursday (that is not Holy Thursday), and on a feast day of a Eucharistic Martyr.

If you don’t remember the details of the Marian apparitions at Garabandal, Spain, go read https://polination.wordpress.com/2022/07/23/garabandal/.

If you don’t remember the details of the Warning/Illumination of Conscience, go read https://polination.wordpress.com/2022/06/16/get-yourselves-prayed-up-people/.

Then, go back and reread this post and marvel at God’s amazing plan!

BORDER: Mexican police escorted nearly 20 buses full of migrants into Ciudad Juarez where they were able to cross the river into El Paso. The destruction of the United States of America continues apace.

CANADA: Canada’s “dead people are cheaper” euthanasia program should terrify everyone. Last year Canadian doctors offed more than 10,000 people, a third more than the previous year. And it’s going to go up even more as they further loosen the definition of who is eligible.

In other news, Trudeau is intent on eliminating tax-free status for non-profits that try to help pregnant women avoid abortion. During the plandemic, Trudeau sponsored some of the world’s most draconian regulations, allegedly to save lives. If you’re thinking none of this makes sense, welcome to the New World Order.

IDENTITY BINGO: Pedophiles have climbed to #1 on the Leftist’s list of preferred minorities. Back in September, Venmo and PayPal banned Gays Against Groomers for allegedly violating their user agreements. Now, Printful has refused to print t-shirts and caps for the group, because it’s “homophobic and promotes transphobic misinformation that harms LGBTQ+ communities.”

MASKS: CLICK https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1602334387030196224 [:07] to see how unserious world leaders were about the plandemic.

PRISONER SWAP: On Sunday, Trump revealed that he not only turned down Russia’s proposed one-on-one swap of former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan for convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, but also that “I wouldn’t have made the deal for a hundred people in exchange for someone that has killed untold numbers of people with his arms deals.”

In 2012, Bout was sentenced to 25 years in prison for conspiring to sell millions of dollars worth of weapons to a Colombian terrorist group committed to killing Americans. Last week, Biden swapped him for an American basketball player who was sentenced to nine years in prison by a Russian court for having a cannabis product in her luggage when she landed in Moscow.

PRONOUNS: I recently attempted to read an article in which the author used the subject’s they/them pronouns. It was beyond confusing. I kept having to go back and reread to figure out if this “they” was referring to the singular subject of the piece or to a plurality of individuals.

There’s a good thread about this at Twitchy, if you’re interested.

RAAACISM: WaPo got roasted for an opinion piece that was not only racist, but also inaccurate. My favorite tweet response was from Ivan – “@washingtonpost to follow your great journalism here, can you now ask the .@NBA why they don’t have more representation of the following: #Jewish #latinos #hispanics #Philippines #MiddleEastern #CentralAmerica #SouthAmerica #Caribbean #India #Asia.

SERVICE: Lefties have spent years trying to drive Christians out of business for refusing to celebrate same-sex marriages. Now a Virginia restaurant has refused to host a pre-reserved event, because the staff got their panties in a bunch when they found out the scheduled organization opposes abortion and supports traditional marriage.

YOEL ROTH: Yoel Roth’s bio says, “I care about building technology that’s resilient to threats and helps people and communities connect safely and authentically.” At pre-Elon Twitter, Roth was Global Head of Safety & Integrity where he was instrumental in censoring President Trump, quashing the Hunter Biden laptop story that broke just weeks before the 2020 election, and, oh yeah, doing diddly to stop child pornography.

Yesterday, we learned one other thing about Yoel Roth. He’s a porn-loving pervert who maintained a now-scrubbed “secret dirty Twitter account” (his words) called @otterrific. One especially disturbing old tweet said, “Musclebear with beard: hot. Musclebear with beard holding a child: inexplicably hotter.” (N.b., a “musclebear” is a hairy muscular man.) There are more, but I’ll spare you. I guess we know now why we weren’t allowed to say “groomer” with getting banned/suspended.

The Real Presence

Blind faith” isn’t a Catholic thing. God not only gave us our ability to reason, but also respects our need for evidence by providing abundant miracles. Yesterday, I posted a brief video about one of my favorite Marian miracles. Today, I want to share one of the most recent of all the Eucharistic miracles, which occurred in Sokółka, Poland, in 2008.

N.b., After spending way too much time googling things like “how to pronounce” and “phonetic alphabet”, I am still not sure how to pronounce Sokółka. Best guess is suh KOW kuh.

On Sunday, October 12, 2008, during the 8:30 a.m. Mass at St. Anthony of Padua Church in Sokółka, Poland, a consecrated host fell to the floor. The priest placed it in a small container of water and locked it up. Only two people had keys – the priest and the sacristan. (Photo above by Piotr Widerski)

The plan was to pour the water into the sacrarium once the host had completely dissolved. A sacrarium is a special sink that preserves the dignity of sacred things by emptying straight into the earth, not into the sewer. E.g., during Mass, the vessels used for Holy Eucharist are wiped clean with special linens, which are then washed after Mass in the sacrarium.

A week later, the host was still largely intact, but had acquired a curved, bright red stain on it. However, the water was untainted by the color. When the archbishop was notified, he ordered the stained host to be taken out of the water and placed on a corporal and locked in the tabernacle. By mid-January of 2009, the altered fragment of the host had dried out naturally, and remained like a blood stain or clot; since then, its appearance has not changed.

The archbishop created an ecclesial commission to study the phenomenon and requested histopathological studies be done. Two Medical Doctors at the Medical University of Bialystok independently analyzed pieces of the altered host. The results of both independent studies were in perfect agreement not only with each other, but also with scientific analyses of other Eucharistic miracles. That is, that the bread had somehow turned into a piece of myocardial (heart) tissue of a living person who is nearing death.

In its official report, the Metropolitan Curia of Bialystok stated: “The Sokolka event is not opposed to the faith of the Church; rather, it confirms it. The Church professes that, after the words of consecration, by the power of the Holy Spirit, the bread is transformed into the Body of Christ, and the wine into His Blood. Additionally, this is an invitation for all ministers of the Eucharist to distribute the Body of the Lord with faith and care, and for the faithful to receive Him with adoration.”

Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

ARIZONA: On Friday, Republican Kari Lake filed a lawsuit to nullify the 2022 midterm election results for the governor’s race in the state of Arizona. According to the filing, hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots infected the election, far more than the 17,117 vote margin by which Hobbs allegedly won.

CHIEF TWIT: Also this, “When will we get the twitter files on covid? The info on the suspension of the many doctors and scientists? Who was involved? Suppression of what has turned out to be factual information.” – Aaron Murray

Oh it is coming bigtime …” – Elon Musk

Lies die in the light.

FAUXTUS: This is a good video. [6:36] – ‘The Big Sunday Show’ panel evaluate President Biden’s decision to trade away a Russian arms dealer for WNBA star Brittney Griner and whether NBC’s first version was actually the right one. Biden doesn’t just look weak; he is weak … and a hypocrite.

GRAMMY NOTES: After Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Dearest was forced to close his city office and move his business into our basement. Part of this involved installing a second number for our land line. The day the second number went active, I was in the kitchen and asked my daughter to call Daddy for dinner. Instead of going to the head of the stairs and bellowing, as I expected, she picked up the phone, punched in the new business number, and quietly informed him that dinner was ready. ❤

2A: The New York Times is getting some well-deserved mockery over the above. Anybody else see why?

CHIEF TWIT: When Elon Musk tweeted, “[Twitter] refused to take action on child exploitation for years!”, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted back, “This is false.” (N.b., in the past, Dorsey has claimed he knew nothing about the child porn problem when he was CEO. But now he claims he did? Sorry, Jack. You can’t have it both ways!)

Musk responded, “No, it is not. When Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety. She raised this with Ned & Parag, but they rejected her staffing request. I made it top priority immediately.”

N.b., back in January 2021 a teen victim and his mother filed a federal lawsuit against Twitter for refusing to remove pornographic images of the boy that had been posted by sex traffickers. The suit alleged that Twitter had told them the images would not be removed, because they did not violate the company’s policies.

In other Twitter news, at least two prominent and influential Democrats had close relatives working at the corrupt, pre-Elon social media company. One of these was Dr. Anthony Fauci’s daughter while the other was John Podesta’s niece.

Also, the last link below contains the latest info dump, this time detailing the banning of President Trump.

COVID-19: There are two drugs that the FDA* has approved for treatment of the ‘rona, i.e., Pfizer’s Paxlovid and Merck’s Molnupiravi (aka Lagevrio).

Paxlovid was not tested on vaxxxed people. Go figure. In actual use, it causes something called “rebound”, which we who have paid attention have seen happen to both Joe Biden and Tony Fauci. Both of these men had gotten four mRNA jabs when they caught COVID-19. They both then took Paxlovid and appeared to recover quickly, only to rebound and get sick again, whereupon they took more Paxlovid, finally got over the bug, then credited the jabs and the drug with saving their lives.

Molnupiravir, which was originally developed to treat flu, is known to stimulate viruses to rapidly mutate. Because of this, the FDA only narrowly approved (vote: 13-10) emergency authorization for its use in ‘rona patients. The drug also appears to cause rebounding.

*Psst … the FDA gets more than half its funding from Big Pharma, which makes little or no profit off drugs like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, which are not approved for the ‘rona despite the fact that they often work well and cause no rebounding.

RUSSIA: [2:45] – FAUXTUS just pulled off an historic prisoner exchange with Russia. We gave up Viktor Bout, an arms dealer who is known to provide terrorist with lethal weapons, for Brittney Griner, a black woman who shoots hoops for a living.

Griner is also apparently so dumb that she didn’t bother to read the “Things You Can’t Bring Into Russia” list before packing. I went to Russia in 1972. There is a list and you better believe we were drilled about what was on it before we left.

On CNN, James Carville opined that people who are criticizing the Griner exchange are racist Putin-lovers, ignoring the fact that, as soon as Bout got back home, he announced his support for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. In fact, he says he thought they should’ve done it much sooner. CLICK https://twitter.com/francis_scarr/status/1601592128743669760 [:37].

MSNBC claimed Griner would’ve been trade-freed sooner if only she’d been a white man, ignoring the fact that the trade did not include Paul Whelan, the white male former U.S. Marine who was already rotting in a Russian prison before Griner even got arrested.

The Russian media marked the trade by laughing about how stupid Americans are.

TRANS: The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously ruled to permanently block the Biden administration’s plan to force doctors and insurers to perform or pay for gender-transition procedures.

The suit was filed by the Religious Sisters of Mercy, Sacred Heart Mercy Health Care Center in Alma, MI, SMP Health System, University of Mary, Catholic Benefits Association, Diocese of Fargo, Catholic Charities of North Dakota, and Catholic Medical Association.

The Catholic position is that God doesn’t make mistakes. If you’re uncomfortable in the body He gave you, you need psychological and spiritual help, not medical mutilation.

ARIZONA: On Friday, Senator Kyrsten Sinema announced she has left the Democratic Party and has registered as an independent, saying she’s turning her back on the “broken partisan system in Washington” that prioritizes denying the opposition party a win rather than “delivering for all Americans.” A discussion I saw on Fox noted that she’s a savvy politician who will be running for re-election in a now deep purple state where the majority of registered voters are independents. This move also reduces Schumer’s lock on Senate votes for the next two years.

CHARTER SCHOOLS: Traditional public schools are government institutions. Charter schools are not. They are privately operated, usually by nonprofit entities, yet 44 states have laws prohibiting then from being operated by or affiliated with religious institutions. That should end soon, because the Supreme Court recently decided in Carson v. Makin that Maine’s exclusion of religious schools from a tuition-assistance program for students living in rural school districts violated the Constitution’s Free Exercise Clause.

CHIEF TWIT: A new investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees secretly built blacklists, prevented disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limited the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics. Among those blacklisted were conservatives Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok, and Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya who argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children (which they did).

DEA: Sam Brinton, FAUXTUS’ non-binary, cross-dressing, puppy play, bondage sex, and spanking expert has just been charged with stealing another woman’s suitcase, this time at the Las Vegas airport.

Earlier this week, Wayne Besen also exposed as “unlikely” Brinton’s claims of having been brutalized by so-called conversion therapy. Major national organizations have apparently made Brinton their poster boy, yet Brinton claims he can’t recall the therapist’s name, what state the therapy occurred in, or how long it went on.

EXCESS MORTALITY: Josh Stirling, a highly acclaimed insurance analyst, presented at U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s Dec. 7 round table discussion titled “COVID-19 Vaccines: What They Are, How They Work and Possible Causes of Injuries.” He said that, overall, the vaxxxed have a 26% higher mortality rate than the unvaxxxed.

For those under the age of 50, the mortality rate is 49% higher. Worst of all, people who only took one dose of the vaccine have an approximately 145% worse mortality rate. The disproportionately higher number for one-dosers suggests that this group likely suffered an injury following their first dose and thus deciding not to get the second dose.

Stirling noted that these are based on the very best statistics available at this time and that they suggest the U.S. population will suffer 600,000 excess deaths per year as a result of the ‘rona jab. Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to push it on us and the FDA just approved it for tiny babies.

It feels so good to finally find my tribe.” “How can Trans expect others to accept them when they never accepted themselves?” “I feel like we’re all living in a never-ending south park episode!”

RESPECT FOR MARRIAGE ACT: As per usual, Dems have named a bill the exact opposite of what they intend it to do. The real effect of this abomination will be to expose people of faith to a host of potential lawsuits from left-wing activists seeking to silence their voices.

Brian Burch, president of Catholic Vote said, “The act purports to defend same-sex and interracial marriages, yet neither institution is under attack, and the act adds zero new protections for same-sex marriages that the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges didn’t already provide.” Shamefully, all 74 Catholic House Democrats, plus 15 of the 56 Catholic Republicans, voted to pass this misnamed abomination.

Hell-bound “Catholic” Nancy Pelosi cheered the bill’s passage and confirmed what we already knew, which is that it will be used to “combat bigoted extremism” and “right-wing extremists“, by which Democrats mean people who hold the biblical view of marriage that was the law of the land until about five minutes ago.

VANGUARD: On Wednesday, the world’s biggest mutual fund manager announced that, as a result of pressure from Republican politicians, the company will be withdrawing from woke investments. Vanguard’s big rival, BlackRock Inc, has taken the opposite stand.

VAXXX: A toxicology expert with over 30 years of scientific experience issued this stark warning Wednesday during Sen. Johnson’s round table on the mRNA COVID jabs. And here I thought sterilizing an entire generation was the whole point.

GRAMMY NOTES: I’m too old to remember this; for me, it was a film projector. However, when I was a recent college graduate, I worked at the regional library that supplied films and video tapes to the public schools. And across the hall, the repair guys worked on the projectors and t.v. sets the public schools managed to break.

Bits & Bytes

CATHOLIC: Sometimes a demon can be forced to tell the truth during an exorcism. One such event occurred in 1823, during the exorcism of an illiterate 12-year-old boy. The two Dominican priests authorized to perform the exorcism forced the demon to admit that Mary had never been under his power, not even at the first instant of her life. IOW, the demon affirmed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, which would not be solemnly promulgated until thirty years later.

CLIMATE: Who decided that today’s average global temperatures are some kind of ideal? Cuz they’re not. During the well-documented Medieval Warm Period, humanity flourished. Ancient DNA discovered in frozen permafrost recently revealed that 2 million years ago, Greenland hosted a warm and lush forest ecosystem, rich with trees, shrubs and herbs.

DNA: Genealogy data bases have been a boon to detectives who have biological samples, but no DNA matches in criminal data bases. By entering an unknown victim or suspect into places like Ancestry and 23AndMe, they have been able to get matches to relatives which then, with luck and good detective work, lead to identities.

For six decades, Philadelphia’s famous “Boy in the Box” has laid under a headstone that simply says, “Heavenly Father, Bless this unknown boy.” Thanks to DNA genealogy, police have finally identified the 1956 murder victim as Joseph Augustus Zarelli. He was 4 when he was murdered.

Police have suspicions about the culprit, but are not ready to release that information. I’m guessing the parents (if they’re still alive) have some ‘splaining to do, given that they never reported the boy missing or came forward to view the “Boy in the Box”, whose case was given a very high media profile.

FAUXTUS: Today is December 9, 2022, and Joe Biden is still the worst president this country has ever had. His latest slap in the face is enough to get every true American’s blood boiling. “They gave up a professional athlete. We gave up a prolific arms dealer who was convicted of trying to kill Americans, who is called the ‘Merchant of Death.‘” – Fox News reporter Peter Doocy

Viktor Bout, Russia’s ‘Merchant of Death,’ “provided the fuel for conflicts across the globe. He was a critical player in the global illicit arms trade not because he could obtain weapons but because he could deliver his destructive cargo anywhere in the world through his control of a private fleet of military aircraft. And he did just that.” – Former DEA agent Rob “Zach” Zachariasiewicz

HEAT: For the fifth year in a row, this guy and his twin sons (now 25 yo) are chopping and delivering firewood to veterans, the sick, and people who are down on their luck. Shane McDaniel, 51, owns a beer store in his hometown of Lake Stevens, Washington. Twins Henry and Harrison have six siblings, ages 9 through 26.

IVERMECTIN: At the FDA link below, it says, “Currently available data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19.”

But half of the studies to which the FDA page links actually support using ivermectin against COVID-19.

The FDA page also says, “The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 in people or animals. Ivermectin has not been shown to be safe or effective for these indications.”

But the exact same thing is true for puberty blocking hormones for the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors.

NIGERIA: A new report shows a new and very ugly facet of Islamic persecution – i.e., abortions forced on 10,000 or more unwilling girls and women, ages 12 and up, some of whom were as much as 8 months along. Many of the women were pregnant as a result of brutal sexual assaults by militants affiliated with the Islamic terror regime Boko Haram.

PFIZER: The FDA is so corrupt. On December 5, Pfizer asked the FDA to allow bivalent shots for babies six months and up. Today, on December 8, the application was approved. This despite the facts that ZERO trials were done on infants AND that a newborn may have been subjected to as many as three jabs while in utero!

STORY HOUR: Fifty taxpayer funded public libraries have turned down Christian actor Kirk Cameron’s request to come read his new book “As We Grow” to kids. At least some of the libraries that responded said their communities were too “diverse” to allow such a thing. And, yes, they do have Drag Queen Story Hours.

On the plus side, I have heard of some pastors who have initiated regular story hours at their local libraries, so maybe part of the problem is that Cameron is so high profile.

TRANS vs. LESBIAN: [6:34] – The patriarchy rules.

VAXXX: The stinkin’ vaxxx has nothing to do with public health and everything to do with reducing the world’s population and encroaching on the rights of individuals. Two examples from today’s news just make my blood boil. In the U.S., Duke Children’s Hospital is refusing to allow a 14-year-old dialysis patient a place on the transplant list because her parents don’t want her to get the jab. And in New Zealand, the parents of a sick baby want her to have unvaxxxed blood and had donors lined up. The government refused to approve of their plan and instead assumed custody of the child.

WEF: The WEF thinks you should be forced to upgrade your home or business to meet its 2021 “10 Green Building Principles” (doc linked below). Furthermore, if you can not afford to make these changes, the WEF thinks your property should be declared “stranded” (i.e., unusable+). Such a designation would reduce its value to zero and force you to vacate the premises.
