I'm a 60 something wife, mom and grandmom who is homebound/disabled by severe hypersensitivity to chemicals. I fill my days with learning, loving and art. My favorite values are truth, generosity and gratitude.
At Fatima, Our Blessed Mother promised that those who practiced the First Saturday Devotion for five consecutive months would be assisted by her in the hour of their death with all the graces necessary for salvation.
On the first Saturday of the month, for five consecutive months, participants do the following:
Receive Holy Communion with the intention of making reparation for the insults, sacrileges, and indifferences committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Go to Confession on the First Saturday of the month (it can also be eight days before or after) with the intention of making reparation for the insults, sacrileges, and indifferences committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Recite five decades of the Rosary in reparation for the insults, sacrileges, and indifferences committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Keep Mary company for fifteen minutes—meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary with her—with the intention of making reparation for the insults, sacrileges, and indifferences committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
BRAIN CELLS: [:59] – The world is getting increasingly more like That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis. Speaking of books and this screwed up world … I’ve been reading Jonathan Cahn’s latest, Return of the Gods. I should probably say “skimming” since so much of it is (depressingly) familiar. There is some very interesting information in there I didn’t know that connects a lot of dots, so I definitely recommend it.
His big theme is that way back when, Christianity booted the pagan gods (i.e., demons) out of their national strongholds, but now they’re back seven-fold. “When an unclean spirit goes out of a person it roams through arid regions searching for rest but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my home from which I came.’ But upon returning, it finds it empty, swept clean, and put in order. Then it goes and brings back with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they move in and dwell there; and the last condition of that person is worse than the first. Thus it will be with this evil generation.” – Matthew 12:43-45
CLIMATE: [4:12] – There is no crisis. “It’s all based on models that don’t work.” International Climate Science Coalition Executive Director Tom Harris discusses how he was once a climate alarmist but now understands it as a scam.
IGOR DANCHENKO: More revelations of Deep State corruption coming out of the Danchenko trial. It seems the FBI knew early on that Danchenko was the main person behind the anti-Trump lies in the Steele dossier, but since they were complicit in the Left’s anti-Trump efforts, they hid him from Nunnes’ and others’ inquiries into the Russiagate scam by making him a paid “confidential human source.” This week, we learned that putting him on the payroll also allowed them to legally instruct him to destroy evidence of their involvement.
J6: Newly released video footage shot inside Nancy Pelosi’s own office shows Rap Epps (screen grab above) and Nancy Pelosi saying, in all seriousness, that she hopes she gets the chance to punch then-President Trump. CLICK https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1580975691398463488 [:26].
Ray Epps was among the very first people to instigate the January 6 riot. Supposedly, he never went into the Capitol Building himself, so he hasn’t been charged. The FBI had him on a “most wanted list” but then suddenly he wasn’t on the list any more. Some people think he was a federal agent, which may explain why the FBI has ignored him.
MINNESOTA: In Minnesota, a man became so enraged by a woman’s American flag shirt that he beat her severely, choked her, ripped a towel rack out of the wall and stabbed her with it, then threatened to kill her. Authorities are looking for him.
ORGAN HARVESTING: [1:06] – In 2021, a representative for the University of Pittsburgh swore under testimony to the Pennsylvania House Health Committee that they do not source human tissue/organs from Planned Parenthood. So why was someone seen loading coolers from Planned Parenthood into a car from the company that supplies U-Pitt with its human tissue/organs?
S&G: In North Carolina, seventh graders are being exposed to gay pornography in their schools. CLICK (or not) https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1580657125809946633 [1:47] to hear an outraged mother read aloud from an extremely graphic book about gay sex that is on the recommended reading list.
In Virginia, a Democrat state lawmaker wants to introduce legislation to have parents criminally prosecuted if they do not “affirm” their child as transgender.
In Ireland, a teacher was put on administrative leave for refusing to use a student’s “they” pronoun and refer to a boy as a girl.
TRANS: With lefties, the feelings of individuals are only important when they serve their primary, political agendas. On Tuesday, detransers Chloe Cole, Abel Garcia, and Cat Cattinson phoned into the Conejo Valley Unified School District’s (CVUSD) Board of Education meeting.
After listening to how damaging it was to have been allowed to make irreversible decisions before they were old enough to understand the consequences, one of the trustees essentially flipped the bird at them and their concerns. “California state law requires schools to support and affirm our transgender students. As a trustee, I will support and affirm our transgender students – not only because it’s the law, but because it is the right thing to do.”
Meanwhile, the U.S. market for “gender transition” surgeries is booming. In 2021, it accounted for about $1.9 billion and is expected to grow to $5 billion by 2030.
VIRGINIA: On Thursday, State Delegate Elizabeth Guzman (D-Prince William) said she planned to introduce a bill to expand the definition of child abuse to include failing to affirm a child’s choice of gender identity. The blowback has been so impressive that a Fairfax activist mom has publicly thanked her “for winning us all the elections in Virginia.”
GRAMMY NOTES: I named this “Sad.” Mama Buzz said, “I love this! The expression does suggest she’s sad but the colors just ooze hope and joy! Which is just wonderful because being sad but choosing joy (not to be confused with actually being joyful) is so much better than being sad and in despair.”
ABORTION: Pro-aborts have vandalized another Catholic Church. Vandals spray-painted the Church of the Resurrection’s sidewalk, front doors, and parish sign in Lansing, Michigan, with hateful messages directed at the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade.
CLICK https://twitter.com/JoeBukuras/status/1580323944820666369 [2:16] to see security camera footage. Many of the messages were violent threats: “Death to Christian nationalism”, “is overturning Roe worth your life or your democracy?” and “kill all Christian nationalists.”
The sign outside Our Lady of the Resurrection, now clean of the graffiti, has a new message displayed on its electric screen: “To whomever vandalized our church: We forgive you and we are praying for you.”
BANKING: JP Morgan Chase and Co. abruptly cut ties with a long-time customer and faith-based nonprofit National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF). The bank gave no reason, but did offer to allow NCRF to reopen the account provided they turn over their donor list, name the political candidates they support, and give a full explanation of the criteria by which they choose such candidates.
The current chairman of NCRF is Sam Brownback who represented Kansas in Congress from 1995–96 (House) and 1996–2011 (Senate). From 2011-2018, he served as the governor of Kansas, then was appointed the United States Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom by President Trump, where he served from 2018 to 2021.
Brownback noted that he has lately communicated with dozens of groups with similar aims as the NCRF and “way too many … have been canceled by their providers.” His organization plans to appeal to state attorneys general to get involved.
COVID-19: Researchers at Tel Aviv University report they have found two antibodies that are so effective at neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 — and all of its variants — that they believe they could serve as an effective substitute for vaccines. The antibodies — TAU-1109 and TAU-2310 — bind to a different area of the spike protein than other antibodies researchers have tried, one that doesn’t undergo many mutations.
DANCHENKO: On Oct. 13, Charles Dolan – a longtime associate of the Clinton family – testified at the trial of Igor Danchenko, who faces charges of lying to FBI agents. Danchenko told the feds he had not communicated with Dolan about any of the allegations in the much-debunked, Clinton-funded, anti-Trump “Steele dossier.” But Dolan testified that Danchenko actually used him as a source for one of the allegations AND that what he told Danchenko was a lie.
DEPOPULATION: One of the stated objectives of the people who have been pushing the ‘rona jab is to reduce the global population to what they consider to be sustainable levels. It appears the jab is doing the job for them. In the UK, live births have dropped by 15% over pre-pandemic levels, while stillbirths have increased by 10%. Meanwhile, excess mortality in the UK is up by 10-15%. It is 94% likely that these outcomes are due to the ‘rona vaxxx, while only 0.5% likely they are due to random chance. N.b., because of their nationalized health care system, the UK data is unusually complete and compelling. It is also being verified by other countries.
FOLLOW THE MONEY: Weber Shandwick is a massive PR firm that has represented Pfizer for decades. Weber Shandwick has long had employees embedded in the section of the CDC that implements vaccine programs. In 2020, the CDC awarded Weber Shandwick a $50 million contract to pimp the flu vaccine. In 2021, Pfizer raked in roughly $81 billion, most of it from the COVID-19 shots that the CDC recommended.
HUMAN CHALLENGE: UK researchers did a human challenge experiment on 34 healthy young (18-30 yo) adults who were deliberately inoculated intranasally with the ‘rona, then kept in a high containment environment with careful medical supervision. Nineteen became infected; 16 suffered mild symptoms, while the other three had no symptoms. The immune systems of the remaining 15 subjects successfully killed off the virus before it could take hold, so they never had positive tests. Sadly, I didn’t see a word about the basic blood panels (e.g., vitamin D and zinc levels) which could have illuminated why those 15 had more robust immune systems than the other 19.
VAXXX: Israeli health data shows that ‘rona patients who had recovered from the virus were forty times less likely to become infected again then those who had been jabbed.
And a new study funded by Moderna has found that Moderna’s COVID shots increase the likelihood of infection over time. This finding has been reported by other studies, including one recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
BORDER: [3:23] – Armed illegals swarming across the border … but we can’t call it an invasion?
COVID-19: [3:13] – I’m thinking those thugs in cop uniforms were a whole lot too enthusiastic about their brutality to be claiming now that they didn’t like doing any of it.
END TIMES: PayPal tried to slime the right to fine people $2,500 at its own discretion for publishing “misinformation” (and we’ve seen how the Left defines that). They say they took it out, but I’ve seen at least one commentator suggest the possibility is still buried in their TOS.
And it won’t stop there. In 2013, the government of Cyprus sucked billions of euros out of private bank accounts with no warning. In 2015, Greece shut down all of its banks and limited daily ATM withdrawals to 60 euros (about $67).
In 2020, Wells Fargo Bank emptied the accounts of the conservative Christian Republican candidate for one of Delaware’s seats in the U.S. Senate, leaving her destitute and homeless. In January of this year, Mike “My Pillow” Lindell’s long-time bank, Minnesota Bank & Trust and Heartland Financial, closed all of his accounts.
On October 12, JPMorgan Chase Bank shut down Kanye West’s accounts and Bank of America shut down Catturd’s account. The latter tweeted that when asked why, the bank said they didn’t need a reason!
Some preppers have been investing in gold and silver. Me, I’ve been going with food, water, medical supplies, and survival gear.
ENERGY: Saudi Arabia says Biden tried to coerce them into postponing oil production cuts until after the midterm elections. They told him to take a hike. No surprise there; back when he tried to reach them by phone, nobody picked up. Some Republicans are wondering if this isn’t as impeachable an offense as that Ukrainian phone call thing.
FAUXTUS: Oct. 12, 2022 [1:05] – On October 12, 2022, he claimed his son “lost his life in Iraq.” Beau Biden deployed to Iraq from 2008 to 2009, but he died at home in 2015 from brain cancer.
INDIANA: Politico’s suckage is worse than we previously thought. It is actually illegal for the Air Force to release private personnel records like the ones Politico claims were obtained through a FOIA request. On top of which, the Air Force says they have no record of any such request. IOW, somebody with access to Green’s personnel file stole it. Hmm … I seem to remember when the Left lost its tiny little mind over the NY Post publishing details from Hunter Biden’s laptop because it had allegedly been stolen (even though it wasn’t).
ISRAEL: [9:32] – Violence erupts in Judea and Samaria as Vladimir Putin meets with Mahmoud Abbas, the President of Palestine.
POLICE STATE: This s**t is getting more real every day. On October 7, 2022, FAUXTUS issued “Executive Order on Enhancing Safeguards for United Signals Intelligence Activities.” It allows the government to spy on American citizens for broadly defined reasons including understanding “public health risks,” “political instability,” and the “threat” of climate change. There’s a bunch of blahblah in there about “reasonable assessment” and “rigorous oversight” as “safeguards”, but we’ve already seen how well any of that crap has protected Trump-supporters, Pro-Life activists, and no-vaxxxers.
THE NETHERLANDS: [8:45] – Government theft in the service of promoting the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse.
UNITED METHODISTS: On October 2, Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, Florida, allowed a drag queen named Isaac Simmons to preach during its Sunday service and join the ministers at the altar while dressed as a demon.
His message included, “We are here to … deconstruct and to reimagine what church can be, who church can be for, and how church can feel together. … [Church] can be a place where all have equal and equitable access not just to the pulpit itself, to the sanctuary, but to God themself, and all that it represents within the community.”
ARIZONA: [7:48] – Wow, Project Veritas really got the goods on the Democrat candidate for governor. Guess how many times Hobbs’ spokespeople said “like”?
CALIFORNICATION: Encinitas Union School in San Diego, California, is planning a “family-friendly”, “queerest” Halloween party, which is being sponsored by a gay bar and a gender reassignment surgery center.
COMMITMENT: God isn’t interested in fans. If you’re not down on the field with His team, suited up and taking hits, then you’re de facto on the other team.
DC COMICS: In another example of “Get woke, go broke”, the series “Superman: Son of Kal-El” is being dropped due to poor sales. The series included the gay Son of Sup going to climate change demonstrations, rescuing undocumented migrants, and, most absurdly, wearing a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic.
END TIMES: The Southern Baptist North American Mission Board has partnered with an evangelistic organization called “He Gets Us.” Even a quick visit to their website shows they deny the divinity, the miracles, and the resurrection of Jesus.
Some of the articles are less blatant about it than this one: “His execution was only the beginning of a movement that continues to impact the world thousands of years later. Jesus’ movement was so impactful because he actively resisted and rejected participating in culture-war politics.” Not even close. Jesus’ followers were destroyed by His death. If he had not risen, ascended, and sent the Holy Spirit, his life and teachings would never have made a dent in the world.
Other articles are less blatant, like this one. “People came to him from every quarter to hear about his extreme views on love.” Well, no. They flocked to him because he was performing miracles and, when he told them they would have to eat his flesh and drink his blood, a whole lot of them bailed!
FDA: This is beyond nuts. – The FDA has just granted blanket approval for minors (5-17) to receive a bivalent booster that was literally tested on zero children. They didn’t even test it on baby mice. And it gets worse. Only 30% of children 5-11 years of age ever got the original two jabs of the now extinct Wuhan vaxxx. But the FDA says if parents want their kids to get the booster (or their school is forcing it), then they have to first get the two Wuhan jabs! Why? Gee, we don’t know, cuz the FDA isn’t saying.
“If someone asked me three years ago, whether it is possible that the FDA would approve a children’s vaccine with ZERO testing on children, I would of course laugh the question off as ludicrous. Now it is reality. Even worse, schools and camps may start requiring it. I thought that the reputation of our health authorities could only bottom at zero. Clearly, though, they want to drive it down to the negative territory.” – Igor Chudov
IRONMAN: At age 4, Chris Nikic needed a walker. At age 20, he became the first person with Down Syndrome to complete an Ironman triathlon. The 2.4-mile swim followed by a 112-mile bike ride followed by a 26.2-mile run must be completed in seventeen hours.
He has also been the first Down’s person to complete the Boston and New York City marathons, to get an official sponsorship, and to win ESPN’s Jimmy V Award for Perseverance.
This week, he again made history as the first person with Down syndrome to complete the toughest Ironman course in the world, the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
LIFE: A nursing student told me they had a whole week of “the miracles of fetal development” followed by a week of “how to dispose of products of conception.”
MICHIGAN: A “Yes” vote for Prop 3 will enshrine abortion-on-demand, for any reason, at any time, and without informed or parental consent in the state’s Constitution. In addition, it will guarantee minors the right to obtain puberty blockers and trans surgeries without parental notification or consent.
PAXLOVID: A new paper in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology says that Pfizer’s ‘rona med, Paxlovid, can interact with a number of commonly prescribed cardiovascular medications. When taken with some blood thinners, it can cause a higher risk of bleeding. When taken with some cholesterol medications, it can be toxic. When taken with some blood pressure medications, it can cause adverse reactions.
VAXXX: “We had to really move at the speed of science.” What utter nonsense. [9:51] – CLICK https://twitter.com/Rob_Roos/status/1579759795225198593 [2:01] to hear how a Pfizer executive admitted to the European Parliament … with a little chuckle … that the company did not test if its COVID-19 vaccine stopped transmission of the virus before marketing it.
GRAMMY NOTES: How cool is it that God let us choose such a wonderful date to get married?! [8:06] – We did not know any of this stuff when we set our date. We wanted mid-October, because we planned to go on a leaf-peeping, camping trip for our honeymoon and I picked the 13th over the 20th because my brothers had all worn 13 on their sports jerseys. A few years later, my baby brother told his bride that the only way he’d remember their anniversary was if it was on a 13th, so she had to find a Saturday that fit the bill. Our family is a little odd, to say the least. My niece was married on April Fool’s Day! LOL
Posted to Facebook, credited to JoeynKaren Mustain:
I took Stella to Chick-fil-A today. It’s our normal daddy/daughter spot. It’s clean, so good, and the playground has a tractor beam on her the moment she sees it. When we finished eating and she’d worked up her dessert appetite playing with the other kids, we went back to trade in her toy for ice cream. She wanted to sit at a table to eat the cone (something we usually do in the truck), and I’m so glad she did.
We took a booth right next to the spot where you wait for your drink to be “refreshed,” and we had a front row seat to this beautiful scene: a homeless traveler had walked in and asked if they had any extra food. Mud was wet and caked on his well-traveled shoes. His hair was matted, and his beard wasn’t a statement as much as it was a necessity and a sign that he doesn’t get to shave as often as most of us do.
People near him kept their distance, but that didn’t stop him from being kind. He spoke to people who reluctantly spoke back, and he smiled while he waited on a manager. All I could pick up on of the conversation was the manager saying that he’d love to give him a full, warm meal–not just scraps or extras–, and the only thing he required was that the man let him pray with him.
After the homeless man agreed, there was no waiting for things to die down, there was no scooting anyone to the side. As busy as they were, the manager stopped then and there, laid his hand on the man, and proceeded to pray. I heard love in that prayer. The homeless man wasn’t some untouchable stain on business. He was the reason that store opened its doors this morning (or any morning).
I asked Stella to watch and she stared. She asked what was happening and when I told her, she bowed her head, too. I realized then and there that Chick-fil-A doesn’t simply do business for profits, they truly use business to minister.
In a time when companies are trying to win in the market by neutralizing any possibility of offense, CFA is thriving because they unwaveringly cling to their principles and purpose. I love teaching my daughter life lessons, and I also love being there to watch other Christians teach her life lessons. Thank you, Chick-fil-A, for taking care of the latter today.
FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1579913027562123264 [1:05] to hear the latest additions to his fire fantasy. “We almost lost a couple firefighters … the kitchen floor was burning between beams … the floor almost collapsed into the basement.” In 2021, he claimed, we “had a house burn down with my wife in it. She got out safely.” Last week, he claimed, “we lost an awful lot of [our home]” in the fire. The graphic above is a screenshot of the news report, which is still posted online @ firehouse.com.
FETTERMAN: CLICK https://twitter.com/SteveGuest/status/1579905109831843841 [:37] to hear even MSDNC admit he’s unfit to serve. What is it with Democrats that they can’t put the good of the people ahead of their own ambitions? Dementia Joe and San Fran Nan should have both retired long ago. That Byrd guy practically died in his seat in the Senate chamber. And we had a local Dem judge who had a stroke and was literally in a coma while his family and party continued to campaign for his re-election. Their justification? “If he wakes up, it will give him something to live for.” Sorry, people, but public office is about the public, not about the office holder. Also, so far as I can determined, nobody has yet explained what the lump on Fetterman’s neck is about.
JONATHAN CAHN: [18:10] – This is a really interesting teaching about the role of the Roman Empire in the End Times. I just bought the book, so I may report on it more as I read it.
GRAMMY NOTES: This one was taken after the birth of my curly-haired Army Princess. My sil said it was the only time she’d ever seen me with straight hair! Yup. The baby took all my curls LOL. Fortunately, they grew back. 🙂
CATHOLIC: I can so relate … especially that getting louder part LOL! [1:30] – Laura’s husband, Trent, has had a YouTube channel called The Counsel of Trent since 2006 “where he helps Catholics answer the toughest objections against our faith.” He’s getting close to 5 Million views. He’s also the guy in the car seat sucking on a pacifier. Great way to support your wife’s new channel, Trent!
CLIMATE HOAX: CLICK https://twitter.com/mazemoore/status/1579548624090198016 [2:18] to hear Al Gore and Rush Limbaugh from 1992. Please note Gore’s insistence that the “hole in the ozone” was going to move or had already moved over the United States. Yeah, no. According to NASA, the “hole” never was a hole at all, but a thin spot that occurs over Antarctica from September through early December. The ozone layer protects us from cancer-causing UV rays, so its wellbeing should be of concern to us. But the fact is, it wasn’t and isn’t over a populated continent and its cause has been found and removed and it is getting better.
FAUXTUS: [:20] – On Friday, Biden kicked off a speech on the economy with “Let me start off with two words — Made in America.” He can’t even blame it on dementia. In 2008, he said the number one problem facing America was a three letter word … J.O.B.S.
FBI: Paul Vaughn was getting his kids ready for school when armed agents banged on the door, screaming, “Open up. FBI.” Vaughn figured the best way to de-escalate was to let them take him away in handcuffs. Like ten others, he has been charged with “conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act, and committing FACE Act violations.” (Translation: Standing in front of an abortion clinic.)
Meanwhile, the fibbies are ignoring threats and vandalism against pro-life facilities. Reps. Jim Jordan, R-OH, and Mike Johnson R-LA, are launching a congressional inquiry into the FBI’s use of its enforcement authority to punish Democrat political opponents.
FLORIDA: On Friday, Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced that the state’s analysis of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines showed that men aged 18-29 who got the jab suffered an 84% increased risk of cardiac-related death.
JONATHAN CAHN: “The Return of the Gods” [18:26] – This is a must watch and probably a must read. I just downloaded it to my Kindle.
PSA: I just read an article that explained that heat expands metal, closing any pores that would hold food particles and make them hard to remove. So If you heat up your pan before putting oil/food in, it’ll be easier to clean. And because putting cold food into a hot pan will not only warp the pan and spatter hot oil on you, but also cool the metal enough to reduce the pore closing effect, it’s better to use room temperature ingredients.
Also, a reminder or if you don’t already know, pans are a million times easier to clean if you do it while they are still warm from cooking. But if you’re like me, you’re too busy serving and eating to bother, so you can take advantage of the warmth by quickly squirting straight liquid dish detergent into the still warm pan and spreading it around with a damp (but not soaking wet) brush. When you come back to it later, the food will often come off easily. Also, when washing, use hot water for most things, but cold for eggs and oatmeal cuz hot makes them stick even worse.
ROSARY: Our modern word “bead” comes from an Old English word “bede” which meant “prayer.” But the use of beads or knotted ropes as aids to prayer dates to ancient times and is found in religions as diverse as Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, Islam, and Christianity. And while Jews do not use beads, some touch the knots on the tzitzits (knotted tassels) attached to their tallit (prayer shawl) at specific points in their prayers.
TRUMP: In April, Margot Cleveland reported that the DNC/Clinton-funded fake dossier was leaked as a last ditch attempt to delay Trump’s inauguration.
This week, Sean Langille, producer of “Fox News @ Night”, reports that an FBI counterintelligence analyst has told John Durham that the FBI had offered Christopher Steele $1 million if he could corroborate the allegations against Donald Trump in the dossier, which he could not do.
VAXXX: Remember all that hype about how non-vaxxxers were being selfish and maybe even killing grandmas! Because getting the jab would stop transmission of the virus? Yeah. Me also.
Well, surprise (not), it turns out they had no idea what the vaxxx would or would not do regarding transmission. It was just a PR lie to sell the product.
GRAMMY NOTES: This piece is about how the Eucharist blasts away the evil and darkness in the world. This angel is assigned as its watch carer, to protect and adore. I made him completely different, because angels are. The sky is painted with granulating water color paints, while the angel is drawn and painted with gouache, colored pencil, and liner pen.
Republican Jennifer-Ruth Green is running for the U.S. House of Representatives (IN-01) against the incumbent Democrat Frank Mrvan. Indiana’s District 01 sits in the northwest corner of the state, just southeast of Chicago. Not surprisingly, the district has been Democrat since 1930.
Frank J. Mrvan makes Joe Biden look good. Frank J. is the Privileged White son of Democrat Machine politician, Frank E., who sat in the State Senate from 1979 to 1994 and again from 1998 until his retirement in 2022. Before Frank J. landed his first political position (by appointment after somebody resigned), he worked as a licensed mortgage broker and pharmaceutical sales representative.
He held the position of Township Trustee for 15 years, then ran for the district’s House seat in 2020 when the longtime Democrat incumbent retired. Given his total lack of real qualifications, I’m guessing he won by 17 points because he had a D by his name. Every one of the photos in his congressional website banner shows him wearing a face diaper.
Mrvan allegedly earned a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, but I was unable to find any verification via a search of alumni data bases. I did the search, because his various online biographies were so vague about this alleged credential. Most of them gave no graduation date, while some never mentioned the degree at all. Even if he did actually finish the degree (which I doubt), journalism is a very soft major and he never worked in the field at all.
In a major contrast, Lt. Col. Green is the daughter of a Black Air Force veteran. In 2005, she was graduated from the USAF Academy, one of 15 black female cadets in a class of 919. She began her Air Force career in aviation and then transitioned to serve as a Special Agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. She deployed to Baghdad in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom where she served as a mission commander for counterintelligence activities. After her deployment, Jennifer-Ruth assumed the role of Deputy Chief for a nuclear command post.
After twelve years of full-time military service, she transitioned to the Indiana Air National Guard and went back to school, earning a master’s degree in ministry in 2013 and a B.S. in aeronautics, aviation, aerospace science and technology in 2021. She is currently enrolled in Air War College, studying strategic leadership across military operations, in joint, interagency, and multinational environments.
Besides being a Certified Flight Instructor and one of fewer than 150 African-American professional female pilots in the country, she founded and serves as the director of MissionAero Pipeline, a non-profit reaching at-risk youth that seeks to transform lives, inspire STEM careers, and set students, as young as 5th grade through college, on a path of learning in the aerospace industry. Her bio is actually longer than this, but you get the picture.
Mrvan was initially coasting on his D in the century-long Democrat stronghold; in May, Real Clear Politics showed him up by 7 points. Just two months later, the Indy Star called the race a toss-up, noting that, in the second quarter, Mrvan had raised just under $357,000, while Green had raised $626,000.
FYI: One of the panel misspoke in calling Green an attorney.
Democrats who aren’t taking massive quantities of Xanax know they’re about to lose control of the House of Representatives and they’re desperate. In typical scumbag Democrat fashion, they crossed a major line by leaking to Politico that Green had been raped while serving in Iraq. Green says she asked Politico not to print the story. They ignored her. What possible justification could exist to print a woman’s experience with sexual assault, garnered via probably stolen personnel files and without her consent? Let us hope this back-fires BIGLY!
Comment from the YouTube video: “I was a sexual assault prevention facilitator in the Air Force and sexual assault records ARE NOT available with the member’s service record. Not even an “unrestricted” report is accessible by anyone except the member’s command, sexual assault response office, medical providers, and law enforcement and the JAG office. THAT IS IT. Someone with access to sealed records leaked these and everyone needs to be held accountable.”
Military ribbons denoting what medals have been awarded are arranged in a specific order of precedence, from top down and left to right. So far as I can tell, these are hers:
Meritorious Service – For outstanding achievement or meritorious non-combat service.
Air Force Commendation – For prolonged acts of heroism or meritorious service.
Air Force Outstanding Unit – For excellence against an armed enemy of the United States.

ARIZONA: The Democratic candidate candidate for governor, Katie Hobbs, has refused to debate the Republican candidate, Kari Lake. This is a wise decision. CLICK https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1578959369265623040 [1:42] to see Hobbs uh fail to uh answer an uh simple uh question.
On Monday, Hobbs and Lake were scheduled to appear separately at a townhall event. Hobbs was scheduled to go first, but refused to come out when she realized Lake was in the audience. Organizers say she was supposed to be in a holding room “under the rules” … rules they refused to release to the media. Lake said she didn’t know anything about any such rule and said Hobbs should come out and debate her.
Hobbs refused, so Lake agreed to go hide until it was her turn. An organizer said Lake “rattled her opponent. She was big, brash, and very larger than life, Trump-esque.” He noted that her stunt appeared to work, because Hobbs gave a poor performance. Wow. If she can’t even handle having her political opponent sitting in the same room with her, then she is really not cut out to be a governor!
CATHARISM: Satan appears to be recyling this 11th-12th century French heresy for these End Times. The Cathars (aka, Albigensians) taught that all physical matter is evil, thus the God of Creation and His Incarnated Son are likewise evil.
They taught that marriage was wrong, but that any kind of sexual activity was good. They embraced vegetarianism, believed in reincarnation, and praised suicide. They also believed that women could not be saved until they had first been reincarnated as men.
The heresy was defeated primarily by the priest of the Dominican order, who prayed and promoted the praying of the Rosary. St. Dominic was given this powerful tool by Mary herself, in a vision. After trying and failing for years to convince Cathars that their beliefs were wrong and their practices would damn them to an eternity in Hell, he begged the Blessed Virgin Mary for help.
She appeared to him, saying, “Preach my Psalter, composed of 150 Angelic Salutations and fifteen Our Fathers and you will obtain an abundant harvest.” She taught himthe fifteen mysteries of the Rosary which directly oppose the heretic’s teachings.
FLORIDA: This week, the state’s Surgeon General issued a new statement, emphasizing that individuals and health care providers evaluate all the potential risks of receiving mRNA COVID-19 jabs against the risks associated with catching the virus. The Florida Department of Health now recommends AGAINST jabbing:
Infants and children under 5 years old;
Healthy children and adolescents 5 years old to 17 years old;
Males ages 18-39 years old.
In addition, males over the age of 60 should note that they risk a 10% increased risk of cardiac-related death within 28 days of getting the jab.
WISCONSIN: Barnes is Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin and the Democrat’s candidate for the U.S. Senate. Barnes has branded himself as a progressive who supports abortion rights, gun control, Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, eliminating the U.S. Senate filibuster, legalizing marijuana, and a $15/hour federal minimum wage.
GRAMMY NOTES: [1:29] – “May the words of the Lord be always in my mind, on my lips and in my heart.” I do this prayer every morning. I have a bottle of holy water in the bedroom that I use to make a puddle in my left palm, then I dip my thumb and do the three crosses. But then I also cross both my ears (“and in my ears”) and then I “wash” my hands with the remaining holy water (“and in my hands”). At bedtime, I spritz the bed with the holy water and say the St. Michael prayer. 🙂
