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.
CIVIL RIGHTS: In yet another sign (as if we needed one) of the demonization of Caucasians, a long-time college football coach has been forced out of his dream job for reading the N-word aloud off a Black player’s iPad. Note that Blacks throw this word around with impunity and it was on his iPad, which he was messing with when he was supposed to be paying attention. The coach got annoyed and, as a punishment, read the screen aloud. He says he’s super duper sorry and that he didn’t even realize what he was saying; he just read what was there. Tough noogies, white boy. You been canceled.
LATIN MASS: I’ve gotten interested in the Latin Mass, but the side-by-side translations bewilder me. I decided to just dip my toe in the water and do my own. There are loads of translation sites online! The Glory Be is similar, but I love the “and evermore and into ages and ages” part.
NEW YORK: My stupid state bail “reform” that eliminated bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies, meaning that most criminals arrested for these crimes are freed without restrictions, usually within a few hours of their arrest. What a SHOCK (not) that just 10 NYC criminals have racked up 485 arrests. And, surprise surprise, one of those guys has racked up nearly 100 arrests in Manhattan, where the Soros-funded DA is soft on crime.
UK: [14:44] – Aussie Sky News reports the good news that a UK police force has announced it is scrapping its so-called hate crime awareness courses.
VAXXX: A recent Zogby survey of 1,038 American adults found that 15% of those who accepted the ‘rona jabs have since been diagnosed with a new medical condition. The most common ones were blood clots (21%), heart attack (19%), liver damage (18%), leg and lung clots (17%), and stroke (15%).
GRAMMY NOTES: Mama reports that Bootz asked her if she remembered the movie “with the old guy with glasses and has white hair on the sides? And the guy who’s says ‘40 S’ and everyone else tells him to sit down?” It took her a while, but she finally got enough detail from him to figure it out. She told him the guy was saying, “Vote Yes!” and Bootz agreed that made more sense. LOL
AMAZON: The mega-corporation just bought iRobot for $1.7 billion. This means, if you have a Roomba, Amazon will have access to detailed information about the inside of your home. Not that this makes a huge difference, since the newer models store all your information in the cloud where it can be hacked by enterprising thieves and whatnot.
My Automated Palace recommends, “Before bringing a Roomba or other robot vacuum into your home, consider weighing the risks of a potential breach to your privacy.” And this applies to other so-called “smart” devices. If you own a Smart Roomba, a laptop with a built-in webcam*, an Alexa (or similar), a Smart TV, or a phone with apps containing Automated Content Technology Recognition (ACR), please read the article at the second link below.
*I have a desktop computer; my camera/microphone are on a plug-in device that I only plug in for video sessions. I also clean my computer’s cache frequently, particularly if I’ve been shopping or visited my on-line bank account.
CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION: Kudos to Balenciaga for figuring out yet another way to fleece the stupid. Some rich people are oh-so-happy to spend absurd amounts for crap provided it has a designer label that proclaims to the world, “Look at me! I can afford to spend absurd amounts for crap like this!”
As with pricey designer clothing that goes out of style in 3 months, “conspicuous” is really all this consumption is about. Balenciaga’s creative director is snickering into her champagne. “I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?” Or making an insane profit off of people with way more money than sense? I mean, besides being ugly, it’s a terrible design for a tote!
FAUXTUS: I’m thanking God that we can afford to eat today.

Ted Cruz accuse the FBI of becoming “thoroughly politicized.” To illustrate his concerns, he noted that the Betsy Ross flag, among others, is listed in the FBI’s “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide.”
FLORIDA: Governor DeSantis has suspended a Soros-supported State Attorney for refusing to prosecute violations of the state’s abortion and transgender laws.
“State Attorneys have a duty to prosecute crimes as defined in Florida law, not to pick and choose which laws to enforce based on his personal agenda.” – Gov. DeSantis
HUNTER: [4:36] – “But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’ Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God.” – Luke 12:20-21 NABRE
INFLATION: It’s only going to get worse. The a-holes in D.C. have passed a major climate, tax, and health care package that will majorly increase taxes and everything else. Fortunately for the Elitists, they have lots of loopholes built in to keep the 87,000 new IRS agents that will be hired so from coming after them.
FAUXTUS claimed the new law will save folks Big Bucks on their energy bills. Yeah. Uh huh. He also once said he’d NEVER raise taxes on anyone making less than $400K/year. (Dems voted AGAINST an amendment to the bill that would have limited tax increases on those making $400K/year.)
MILITARY: Today, former President Donald Trump said that, if he returns to the White House in 2025, he’ll rehire the service members who lost their jobs for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine AND give them back pay.
PAPER OR PLASTIC: Remember back when the Eco-Nazis decided that paper grocery bags were evil because they killed trees and we should definitely switch to plastic? Now they’re blaming us for the mountains of plastic trash that China dumps into the oceans and demanding we only use paper, because trees are renewable! In the stupider states, plastic grocery bags and plastic straws have been banned.
PELOSI, NANCY: CLICK https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/status/1555969878619820037 [:09] to hear House Speaker Pelosi explain why she has always felt a connection to China. And they laughed hysterically at Sarah Palin who NEVER SAID she could see Russia from her house.
PELOSI, PAUL: [5:20] – CLICK https://rumble.com/v1excwj-kayleigh-mcenany-goes-off-on-fancy-nancys-life-of-privilege-after-dui-scand.html [5:20] to hear Fox’s Outnumbered panel talk about Fancy Nancy’s drunk driving hubby who seems to be getting treated with Elitist Privilege by the PTBs. I like their summary: We don’t care if you get rich, just don’t act like a jerk when you do. – The back story is that, on May 28, Paulie P. (82) was on his way home from a dinner party when he smashed his 2021 Porsche into another driver’s 2014 Jeep. Both vehicles were reportedly totaled and the other driver sustained some kind of injury.
The complaint notes that Pelosi failed a field sobriety test and that his “eyes were red/watery, he was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath.” Then, for some inexplicable reason (“my name is Pelosi?”), police waited two hours before doing a blood alcohol test! It still popped .08%. God alone knows what it was when he was behind the wheel or what else he had imbibed, because it wasn’t just a little wine.
ROSARY: A friend responded to yesterday’s “My assault weapon has 50 rounds” graphic that, in New York State, we’re limited to ten rounds. So I sent him back the image above. 🙂
GRAMMY NOTES: The Buzzers are getting their gutters cleaned out, so Mama put all the plants in a corner out of the way. I had to laugh. They look like refugees in a bus station waiting room. LOL But seriously, how cute is that kid-sized bench?!
ABORTION: [6:05] – Full disclosure: I read the description and watched thirty seconds. As soon as she got to “it’s a beautiful way to give reverence to the experience”, I had to turn it off. The comments are interesting.
Pro aborts “It’s not sacrifice! It’s not killing!” Also pro aborts: Builds a literal death altar for human remains.
This is one of the most “Noah, get the boat” things I have ever seen.
That’s a whole lot of work and “sentimental” thought given to what the pro aborts call a meaningless “cluster of cells”.
‘Demonic‘ is the only word that springs to mind.
BLASPHEMY: Adidas did this. Gee, I wonder why they didn’t make one with a top that says ALLAHU and a bottom that says AKBAR?
CHILD SACRIFICE: [2:32] – The pulsing “O” reminds me of the recent Eucharistic miracle in Mexico where a consecrated host pulsed like a heart.
CLIMATE: From Jesse James at Not the Bee – “So some people got struck by lightning, which has literally been happening as long as humans have been on this planet, and our very objective and very non-agenda-driven media felt it necessary to tell us that it happened because cLiMaTe ChAnGe.”
ECONOMY: From Rasmussen – 91% of likely voters say economic issues will be important/very important in the midterms; 62% believe the country is in a recession; and a majority believe that former President Trump handed a surging economy that Democrats drove into the ground.
FAUXTUS: The latest Rasmussen POTUS survey shows 21% of Likely Voters Strongly Approve of the job Biden is doing vs. 44% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -23. This is not his worst AI by a long shot. He’s been at or below -30 many times since his first dip in October 2021.
CLICK https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1555606086799003649 [:22] to hear FAUXTUS say, “Most families are focused on putting three meals on the table, taking care of their kids, and paying their bills. Helping you do that is my job. That’s the president’s job as well.” Did he just admit he’s not the actual president?
SERVITUDE: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is considering a challenge to CINO Joe’s attempt to force hospitals to offer and doctors to perform abortions and gender transition procedures against their consciences. An attorney for the doctors says that, when the court asked the government lawyers whether the administration could assure that the government would not punish those who refuse, the lawyers said no.
TRANS: When an 80-year-old woman complained about a man dressed as a woman watching little girls undress in the YMCA’s women’s locker room, the YMCA banned her from using the pool. She says, “There is no signage informing women the shower room is now all-gender and what that means, nor have parents been informed of what they can expect with these new policies.” She also says, “The Y has not provided any dressing, shower room options for women who do not want to be exposed to men who identify as women.”
VAXXX: The CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) lists 837 cancer reports following on the ‘rona jabs. By comparison, the total of cancer reports for all other vaccines for the previous 30 years is 140.
BORDER: [5:49] – Gov. Abbott has sent his first busload of illegals to New York City, so they can enjoy all the freebies the mayor has boasted of in his Welcoming to All Sanctuary City.
EDUCATION: I’m thinking the kids in this class are smarter than the “woke” teacher – https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1554945658951413760. I remember when a girl in my junior high class decided she wanted to legally change her name to Peanut Butter. The judge told her no and that was that.
EVOLUTION: [10:54] – Honestly … believing all this stuff resulted from a mindless process takes a lot more faith than believing God created everything!
FLORIDA: [6:46] – DeSantis has suspended a Soros-funded prosecutor for refusing to do his job. “Our government is a government of laws, not a government of men,” DeSantis said. “We’ve seen across the country over the last few years individual prosecutors take it upon themselves to determine which laws they like and will enforce, and which laws they don’t like and don’t enforce.”
CANCEL CULTURE: Dr. Peter McCullough has been a leading voice for sound medical approaches to COVID-19. As a result, the American Board of Internal Medicine is threatening him with disciplinary action. CLICK https://rumble.com/v1ein77-dr-mccullough-video.html [23:22] to see a recent interview with him.

CHICOMS: Early on Monday, China warned that its military would not “sit idly by” if Pelosi visits Taiwan during her trip this week. She landed on Taiwan on Tuesday. Taiwanese defense officials have canceled the leave of some soldiers and officers “to immediately prepare” for the chance of war.
FAUXTUS: When Trump used a drone to take out ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Biden said, “It’s clear this victory was not due to Donald Trump’s leadership. It happened despite his ineptitude as commander-in-chief.”
When Biden used another drone to kill Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri, he took a victory lap. “Justice has been delivered.”
GRIFTER: Remember Shaun King? If you don’t, Wikipedia has a long article about his lifetime of lies and fraud. A while back, he started Grassroots Law PAC to raise money for political candidates who are soft on crime. The group’s FEC report is linked below.
One of the group’s biggest disbursements – $40,650.00 – went to Portrero Performance Dogs for “NON CONTRIBUTION ACCOUNT – CONTRACTOR DEPOSIT.” In short, Shaun used money donated to his PAC to buy himself an insanely expensive show dog … for a family pet! The dog has since been returned to the breeder, allegedly because “he’s got a little too much energy to be a family dog so he came back.”
The PAC’s disbursements make for an interesting read. A whopping $200K went to Real Justice PAC, which supports the campaigns of extreme Leftist prosecutors like Marilyn Mosby; you know, the kind of people George Soros lurves. There were some disbursements to various other pols, but most of the transactions are listed as being for accounting, website, and legal services, for credit card processing fees, and for “software.” How much software does anyone need? Especially since a whole lot of those “software” disbursements went to Grassroots Law, another of Shaun’s scams, I mean social justice efforts, one that is also aimed at helping Progs get elected.

MICHIGAN: Trump-endorsed John Gibbs, who served in Trump’s HUD, just won the 3rd District (Grand Rapids) primary. The incumbent, Peter Meijer, is the sixth House Republican to lose a primary after having voted to impeach Trump.
This is particularly significant, because Meijer has huge name recognition and muy bucks. Michigander Joel Abbott writes, “Peter Meijer is a princely figure in West Michigan. His family’s name is on half the buildings, venues, and public works in the area. His supporters donated millions to run ads every time my family turned on the TV. We received at least one piece of mail telling us how amazing he is (or how evil Gibbs is) every single day.”
TOLERANCE: [:05] – On Tuesday, Kansas voters were the first in the nation to vote on abortion since Roe died. Sadly, the pro-life amendment failed (58.8% No vs. 41.2% Yes). But it wasn’t for lack of trying. Kansas pro-lifers worked hard to counter the Left’s lies, including going door-to-door, to encourage people to vote for life. And one of them, a teen named Grace Hartsock, took a punch to the face from a Tolerant Liberal for presuming to stick up for the unborn.
On Sunday, July 31st, Hartsock rang a doorbell and asked the resident if she could count on the woman’s support. The woman said, “No, I’m sorry I don’t think you want to talk to us.” The girl thanked her and turned to leave when the resident’s adult daughter jumped off the couch, cussing and yelling at her mom for being polite to the girl. Then, she launched herself at the teen, shoving her in the chest, punching her in the head, and screaming curses and phrases like, “I hope you get raped” and “I hope you get run over by a car.”
In the video, you can see her rage-stomping back to her mother’s house and flipping her mother for telling her to stop the violence! I’m tempted to say she’s just a mean, dumb bitch, but my better guess is that she’s a woman who has had one or more abortions and is carrying a soul-killing load of guilt. We should pray for her.
[12:58] – Dr. John Campbell goes over the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut report on suspected adverse events following doses of the ‘rona jabs from Dec 27, 2020 (start of the vaccination campaign in Germany) through March 31, 2022. The link to English version of the report is below.
Adverse events were defined as “noxious and unintended reactions to the medicinal product.” Overall rate: 1.7 per 1,000 doses (0.17%). Serious rate = 1 per 5,000 doses (0.02%).
Multiple German commenters on the video say the rates are much lower than real life.
“Hardly anyone can get a Doc to file a side effect of any kind in Germany.”
“The authorities in Germany were very much not interested in the side effects of the vaccines. People with strange symptoms after the vaccination were often not taken seriously, neither from the Doctors nor the authorities. … In addition to that, most Doctors had not the time to file a report and they also did not get paid for that (or not enough).”
“I am from Germany and I remember that a recent study of a health insurance company BKK collected their own data and … recently published … adverse effects [rate was] at 2.3%.”
“I live in Germany and it is my experience that doctors were only interested in severe reactions to vaccines. I know of many people who complained to their doctor about a reaction and were met with disinterest. The attitude was that we should consider ourselves lucky that the reaction wasn’t severe.”
“i am from Germany. The datas are not right, there is a massive underreporting more than 10 % to X %. I work at a Health Assurance and our datas from ICD-Nr. are a lot higher.”
“I also live in Germany and know through my work at least 15 people with more or less severe adverse events and dozens of stories and only one case was recognized or even reported.”
“I live in Germany … the data is missing a high number of cases … since the submission process is cumbersone (takes > 30 min) and there is no financial reward. … On the other hand when Health insurance companies e.g. BBK Provita have checked for the diagnose of “reaction to Covid vaccination” there is roughyl a 5% rate of these after a shot.”
“doctors in germany were even taken to court for saying that their patients had such a thing as an adverse event or that the vax might cause harm.”
I was curious what kind of adverse event numbers are associated with common, well-tested vaccines (that are actually vaccines). My kids were born with allergies, so their doctor and I were very cautious about which vaccines they got. One that he said they absolutely should get was the MMR, because the diseases are devastating and viral, while the vaccine had been on the market for many years and was relatively speaking a much safer choice.
So I looked up the MMR at the CDC. The summary of the risks includes:
1 in 10,000 children have a febrile seizure in the week to 10 days following the shot.
1 in 40,000 children will have Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), which can also happen with the measles. It is usually not life threatening.
1 in 4 (usually females) who get the shot for the first time after puberty experience mild joint pain or stiffness for a couple of days.
Compare these numbers with the 1 per 5,000 doses serious adverse events garnered by the vastly under-reported German report.
ARGUING WITH FOOLS: Donkey told Elephant that grass is blue. Elephant said it is green. After the discussion became heated, they submitted it to the King of the Jungle for arbitration.
When Donkey asked Lion to punish Elephant for constantly contradicting and annoying him about this issue, Lion declared Elephant must be silent for three days.
After Donkey ran off to tell everyone how he had won, Elephant asked, “Your Majesty, why have you punished me? We both know that grass is green.“
Lion replied, “Your punishment is not about the color of grass. It is to teach you not to waste your time or mine arguing with asses.”
END TIMES PROPHECY: [4:21] – In the video, Daniel O’Connor urges us to be prepared for The Warning so we can be useful to the Lord during that small window of time He is going to provide during which we can evangelize without Satan’s interference. The other day, when I was saying my daily rosary, I had an image appear in my mind of a little table at the end of my driveway, with a basket of rosaries and “how to pray the rosary” pamphlets on it. I did some shopping and found inexpensive bundles of 100 each rosaries and pamphlets. We have fewer than 50 houses in our little development, so The Mascots are going to put a rosary and a pamphlet each into a zippy bag, send 50 to me, and keep 50 for their neighborhood. If I’m right about The Warning and the subsequent period of peace fulfilling the Jewish holy days of repentance*, then we only have a few more weeks left.
MONKEYPOX: Despite the fact that the virus is only 0.03% fatal and is primarily spread through skin-to-skin contact among men who have sex with other men, three states have declared it an imminent threat to public health. They are New York (1,573 confirmed cases, mostly in NYC and adjacent counties = 0.008% of total population), Illinois (533 confirmed cases, locations not listed, or 0.004% of total population), and California (786 confirmed cases, mostly in LA and SF = 0.002% of total population).

POPE FRANCIS: On July 27, Pope Francis participated in a pagan smudging ceremony conducted by an indigenous Elder. At the end, John-Henry Westen shows the enormous outdoor area that had been prepared for the expected crowds that did not arrive. [7:44] – On August 1, Archbishop Viganò said that the pope’s participation in the pagan smudging ceremony was an “act of submission to the New World Order.” Then he asked why Francis is apologizing for sins the RCC never committed?
He says the Oblates of Mary Immaculate “were the only defenders of the traditional language and way of life of the Indians of Canada, unlike the government and the Anglican Church, which insisted on an integration that uprooted the indigenous people from their origins.”
He also reiterates that the so-called genocide of indigenous peoples at Catholic schools was an “absolutely false media campaign that was supported by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a pupil of Klaus Schwab and a notorious proponent of globalism and the Davos Agenda. …
“Both have been sponsored in their careers by the anti-Christian globalist elite. Both have been placed at the head of an institution with the task of demolishing it and dispersing its members. Both are betrayers of their role, of justice, and of truth. …
“The day will come when he will be called to render an account of his administration. … [In the meantime], let us pray and do penance, in order to remove from us the punishments that these scandals call down upon the Church and the world. Let us invoke the intercession of the Martyrs of Canada, who have been outraged by the accuser who is seated on the Throne of Peter, so that they may obtain from the Throne of God the liberation of the Church from the present scourge.“
RELIGION: Jaelene Daniels, a Christian player for the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) chose to miss a game on Friday night instead of wearing the “Pride” jersey her team was scheduled to wear. In 2017, she turned down an offer to play for the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) due to that team’s plan to wear pride-themed jerseys.
TRANS REGRET: A British woman says she was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and put on testosterone after just two hours of counseling. Five months later, they cut off her breasts. She later developed health problems from the testosterone that nobody told her about and is back to living as a woman … minus the breasts God gave her.
As a result of Pope Francis’ latest assault on conservative Catholics, the Bishop of the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, has ordered 13 parishes to stop offering the Latin Mass. He is allowing eight to continue celebrating the rite, but bans them from publishing the schedules in their bulletins, parish websites or social-media channels!
And five of these eight may not celebrate the Latin Mass inside their churches! I’m thinking this means they cannot celebrate Mass where the Holy Eucharist is reserved within the Tabernacle. Some churches have the Tabernacle behind the altar while others have a Tabernacle Chapel off to the side somewhere.
I’m not very familiar with the Latin Mass, but I’ve been watching videos and noticed how often the Tabernacle is reverenced with genuflecting and incense. It really feels like a huge slap in the face for the PTBs to force the faithful to celebrate it where there is no Tabernacle.
I’m also completely gobsmacked by what is going on at the “Faith Community of St. Sabina” (not Roman Catholic Church) in Chicago. This is apparently a typical Sunday Mass in this largely Black parish. The length doesn’t bother me; the Latin Mass above is a similar length. And I get that this is pretty typical of Black worship services … very long and emotional, with lots of music, dancing, and really loud preaching.
It’s totally not my cup of tea, but they do actually get around to doing the Consecration and distributing Eucharist with very reverent music, so that’s good. However, this parish appears to have just two weekend Masses. They’re very busy with social action stuff, but prayer is practically nonexistent. There are no daily Masses, no scheduled Confessions, no Adoration, no Rosaries … in fact, nothing of a sacred or spiritual nature. The word “Catholic” doesn’t even appear anywhere in the Sunday bulletin! And THIS is the cover:
Compare that with these excerpts from my parish’s website:
So, riddle me this, Pope Francis and your good buddy, Bishop Cupich of Chicago … how come St. Sabina’s is allowed to operate the way it does, while the priests and faithful who love the Latin Mass are being treated like lepers?
PRAYERS PLEASE: Dearest is having his heart valve replaced this morning. UPDATE: The procedure went well and he is resting comfortably. I expect to have him back home tomorrow. 🙂 ❤
APPROVALS: Biden’s sixth-quarter Gallup approval average is the lowest for any elected president since Gallup has been doing the survey. And if the Independents in the graph above were in the middle, between Democrats and Republicans, they’d be at 41%, not 31%.

END TIMES PROPHECY: Our Lady to Gisella Cardia on July 19 and 23, 2022 [4:28] – In part, “Even my Son was persecuted and, so too, will you be. My children, you will be greatly attacked by evil, but listen to my words. Be strong in prayer; be soldiers of light. … Hurricanes will increase. Soon there will be a terrorist attack brought about by evil. … New viruses will arise; your freedom hangs in the balance.”
FRACTAL WOOD BURNING: This extremely dangerous craft uses a high-voltage electrical current to burn lightning-like patterns into wood. Nevertheless, YouTube still has many videos showing how to do it. I’m so glad to know that YouTube is concerned with us getting only good quality FACTS that protect and preserve our health. Oh wait, that only applies to videos that suggest the vaxxx is ineffective and dangerous and/or that claim hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin are effective and safe. But craft how-tos that have killed more than two dozen people (while making YouTube a crapload of ad revenue) somehow don’t violate YT’s sacred Community Standards!
MONKEYPOX: British researchers say the current iteration of monkeypox has some new symptoms, including rectal pain, penile swelling, solitary lesions and swollen tonsils. All of the 197 confirmed monkeypox cases examined at an infectious disease center in London between May and July 2022 were in men. Only one had not had sex with other men. More than one third (36%) also had HIV, while 32% had some other STD.
NIGERIA: Islamic persecution of Christians continues unabated. In mid-July, two Catholic priests were kidnapped and one of them was later killed. Another Catholic was kidnapped; police ignored his calls for help. Then on Monday, an estimated 36 Christians were kidnapped from a village and taken to an unknown location.

SHORTS: Click for laughs and other good stuff today! The first two especially crack me up, because I was once in a choir that did Carmina Burana. I’m pretty sure the lyrics to the little bit of music at the end of the first one are, “Fate – monstrous and empty, you whirling wheel, you are malevolent.” The second one is definitely, “Oh Fortuna, velut luna” which is “Oh Fortune, Like the Moon.” The next part would go “is changing, You’re always growing and decreasing. Foul life.” LOLOL
1A: A Chicago federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that Roncalli Catholic High School in Indianapolis was within its First Amendment rights to dismiss a guidance counselor who had entered a public “same-sex marriage” in defiance of Catholic teachings. The court dismissed a lawsuit brought by the former school employee, who accused the school and the Archdiocese of Indianapolis of violating anti-discrimination law.
CATHOLICISM: Latria is worship, which is due to God alone. Dulia is honor, which is due to angels and good people. Hyperdulia is the extra special honor we owe to Mary, because she is the best creature God ever made.[6:39] – A while back, I quoted (I think it was) Father Columba saying, “If you could design your own mother, wouldn’t you make her the best mother that ever lived? Well, God could. So He did.”
Yesterday, I heard another priest, Father Donald Calloway, note that Mary was created by the whole Trinity. And, yes, Jesus made her to be the best mother ever. But also, the Father made her to be the best daughter ever. And the Holy Spirit made her to be the best woman and spouse ever. Wow.
I had a Protestant friend who told me once that Catholics have it wrong, that our spiritual lives should be all about Jesus alone. But I know for a fact that it pleased him to see his wife loving on his mother. So why would Jesus be offended about us loving on His mother?
CHICAGO: [6:07] – George Soros has donated tens of millions of dollars toward getting ultra-progressive attorneys into District Attorneys’ offices. Chicago’s Kim Foxx was Soros’ first success; In 2016, he gave her $300K to get elected, then in 2021, he gave her $4 million to get re-elected.
END TIMES PROPHECY: “The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast. Its kingdom was plunged into darkness, and people bit their tongues in pain.” – Rev 16:10 NABRE [7:36] – Various Catholic mystics and saints have talked about receiving messages about a three day period of darkness which may or may not be the Fifth Bowl.
