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.

DELAWARE: Last week, the state’s Supreme Court ruled that universal mail-in voting and same-day registration violate the Delaware Constitution.

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.

TULSI GABBARD: CLICK https://rumble.com/v1nh9zm-shes-out-tulsi-gabbard-leaves-democratic-party.html [1:18] to hear her “I’m leaving the Democratic Party” speech.

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.

If a Republican Did It

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:

  1. Meritorious Service – For outstanding achievement or meritorious non-combat service.
  2. Air Force Commendation – For prolonged acts of heroism or meritorious service.
  3. Air Force Outstanding Unit – For excellence against an armed enemy of the United States.
  4. Air Force Meritorious Unit – For outstanding service in direct support of combat operations.
  5. Air Force Organization Excellence – Pin on top means she got it more than once.
  6. Air Force Good Conduct – Pin on top means she got it more than once.
  7. National Defense Service – Served during armed conflict.
  8. Iraq Campaign – Armed Forces personnel who served during Iraq War.
  9. Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary – Military members who served in the War on Terror while on foreign shores after September 11, 2001.
  10. Global War on Terrorism Service – Military members who served after September 11, 2001 in an authorized anti-terrorism campaign.
  11. Iraq Campaign – Deployed to Iraq between March 19, 2003 and December 31, 2011.
  12. Nuclear Deterrence Operations – Deployed to some aspect of Nuclear Operations.
  13. Air Force Expeditionary w/ Gold Frame – Air Force personnel who complete combat deployment.
  14. Air Force Longevity – Denotes years of service.
  15. Air Force Training – Awarded on completion of initial training (boot camp, OTC, etc.).
  16. Maybe National Sojourners – JROTC excellence.

IMHO, anyone who votes for Mr. Democrat Nepotist instead of this incredible woman is an idiot.

TRANSLATION: Ave María, Hello Mary, grátia plena, grace full, Dóminus tecum. Master with you. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, Blessed you in women, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. and blessed fruits abdomen your, Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, Holy Mary, Mother God, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, pray for us sinners, nunc, et in hora mortis nostræ. Now and in an hour of our death. Amen.

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 him the 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:

  1. Infants and children under 5 years old;
  2. Healthy children and adolescents 5 years old to 17 years old;
  3. 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. 🙂

2A: As soon as SCOTUS knocked down New York’s ridiculous handgun licensing law, New York lawmakers passed a variation on the theme. SCOTUS ruled that most people have a right to carry a handgun for personal protection.

So my sucky state legislators/governor decided that New Yorkers applying for a handgun license had to not only demonstrate they had “the essential character, temperament, and judgment necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself and others,” but also had to turn over a three year list of social media activity so officials could verify their “character and conduct.”

The law also banned concealed carry in such a wide array of places that it virtually meant concealed carry was impossible outside your own home. Anyway, a federal judge just blocked both parts of the law. New York has three days to appeal.

2016 vs. 2020: [11:00] – “When Republican candidates for office claim that the election is stolen or that the winner is illegitimate, it constitutes ‘inciting an insurrection’ and the candidate should know it. But Democratic Party candidates for public elective office are perfectly entitled to claim the election was stolen or that the winner is illegitimate or to make any other outrageous claim they can, it is their right to do so. And it is their absolute right to do so irrespective of whether there’s any evidence to support the claim. Democratic candidates can claim an election was stolen because of Russian collusion without any explanation at all. And that is perfectly okay and is in no way incitement to an insurrection. And somehow, when Democratic candidates public decry an election as ‘stolen’ or ‘illegitimate’, it’s never a ‘big lie.’ You’ve been doing it for years.”

BORDER: During his mayoral campaign, Eric Adams pledged to keep New York City a “sanctuary city” for illegal migrants. That is, a place where the local authorities were forbidden to cooperate with immigration agents in enforcing immigration laws. He said then, “This city has always been a sanctuary city [for those wanting] to come to New York City to pursue the American dream.”

CLICK https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1578448595980025861 [:24] to hear him declare a State of Emergency, because a tiny percentage of the nearly two million illegals who have flooded across Biden’s wide open border have been bused to his allegedly welcoming city.

It’s really rich to hear him say, “We have not asked for this. There was never any agreement to take on the job of supporting thousands of asylum seekers.” Yeah, y’all absolutely did … with every vote y’alls cast to put Democrats into Congress.

In peak months, 17,000 illegals have swarmed into Texas every three to four days. When Texas complained, Dems called them RAAACISTS.

PAYPAL: If you have an account, empty it! The company issued a new policy by which users agreed that they could fine you $2,500 if they decided you had spread “misinformation.” Since the backlash struck, they have said it was just a boo boo … “an AUP notice [that] went out in error.” Translation: We thought nobody actually read policy updates.

ROSARY COAST TO COAST: At 4:00 pm today, please join us in praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary for the conversion of the United States to faith in God; for respect for life at all stages of development, especially the unborn; for the sanctity of marriage and families based upon God’s creation of man and woman; for upholding constitutionally protected religious freedom; and the return of our nation to God and Holiness.

Dowsing

Once upon a long time ago, I was in my dentist’s chair, with my mouth hanging open waiting for something to dry, when I thought to use the time to pray for the office and everyone in it. Among the prayers, I did a binding of evil spirits.

Later, when I was at the receptionist’s desk, writing my check, a tech came out from the back and handed the receptionist something. She said to the young woman, “What happened?” Reply, “Nothing. It didn’t work.“

I asked what it was about and she showed me the object, which was a silver-colored metal plumb on a chain, similar to the one in the photo above. She said, “Dowsing. You hold it over the patient and ask a question. It swings one way for yes and the other way for no.“

I wonder now if I should have taken the opportunity to evangelize, but at the time, I just thought to myself, “Of course it didn’t work. I bound the demon running it.”

I heard a similar story from a Christian minister whose class mates at seminary had gotten into doing séances. He went once and did silent binding as he watched. They wouldn’t let him come again, because nothing happened when he was there.

I encourage you all to memorize a binding prayer; there are a bunch to choose from at the link below. Use it daily. Demons are like germs; they’re always around, so binding them is no more paranoid than flossing or brushing.

BOBULINSKI: [10:40] – Tony Bobulinski is Hunter and Uncle Jim Biden’s former business partner turned whistleblower. On Wednesday, he sat down with Tucker Carlson to report on how little interest the FBI had in the thousands of pages of documents he gave them about the Biden family selling influence to foreign governments.

A month ago, the New York Post published a story saying, “Timothy Thibault, the FBI agent alleged to have interfered with an investigation into Hunter Biden, was assigned by the Washington Field Office as ‘point man’ to manage whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, the first son’s former business partner, before the 2020 election — but he suppressed his damning revelations, sources say. Bobulinski spent over five hours secretly being interviewed by the FBI on Oct. 23, 2020, about his inside knowledge of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business deals with China.”

Pacha Papa

On October 4, 2019, the Catholic Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Pope Francis hosted a pagan ceremony in the Vatican garden during which a priestess offered gifts and prayers to “Pachamama”, an Amazonian goddess who is not only still revered by the indigenous peoples of the Andes, but is considered by them to be higher than Jesus Himself. Pagan priests not only sacrifice animals to her, but also children.

CLICK https://twitter.com/RaymondArroyo/status/1187499669653544962 [1:11] to hear Cardinal Gerhard Müller condemn bringing these “idols” into the Church as a “crime against the law of God.”

The pope claimed he had “no idolatrous intention” in bringing the statues to the Vatican. It’s hard to see how he could say that, given all that went on at the October 4, 2019, garden ceremony. According to one account, “The mumbo-jumbo started with a dance around a blanket. … In the middle of the blanket were the statues of two naked woman and a statue of a man with an erection. A female shaman, with feathers in her hair, lifted her hands for some kind of invocation while sixteen concelebrants knelt and bowed around the blanket. Finally, the shaman shook a rattle.”

In the photo above, it looks to me as if at least one of the butt-in-air acolytes is a Franciscan. And Pope Francis was definitely sitting nearby surrounded by cardinals. A few days later, on the Feast of the Holy Rosary, the naked, pregnant goddess was brought into St. Peter’s Basilica where people, including nuns, priests, bishops and cardinals chanted to it. Afterwards, bishops processed with the idol in her canoe on their shoulders. What an insult to Our Lady!

On Sunday, October 27, 2019, a representative of the indigenous people of Brazil carried a bowl containing dirt, plants, and red flowers in the offertory procession and presented it to Pope Francis who had it placed on the altar for the closing Mass of the Amazon Synod in St. Peter’s Basilica. It remained there throughout the consecration and was still there after all of the celebrants had left the church.

Placing the bowl on the altar was in clear violation of directives the pope should certainly know by heart!

General Instruction of the Roman Missal, Paragraph 73 states: “At the beginning of the Liturgy of the Eucharist the gifts, which will become Christ’s Body and Blood, are brought to the altar. … They are then accepted at an appropriate place by the priest or the deacon and carried to the altar. … It is well also that money or other gifts for the poor or for the Church, brought by the faithful or collected in the church, should be received. These are to be put in a suitable place but away from the Eucharistic table.” –

As for the bowl itself, it seems that dirt, plants and flowers are ritual elements in Pachamama worship. Moreover, the Pacha loves red. It’s her favorite color. The bowl also appears to have had a Pachmama symbol painted on or carved into it. It also appears to have been the same bowl that was offered up to Pachamama by a “priestess” during the October 4 pagan ceremony in the Vatican Gardens. So it seems that, while the carved idols were not brought to the Mass (some bishops said they wouldn’t come if they were), an offering to them was. And it was placed on the altar and left there throughout the consecration!

Some are calling the events of October 2019 a type of “abomination of desolation.” I’d say so! And the timing of it is damning. COVID-19 led to church closings and severe restrictions on the Sacraments, all with Pope Francis’ collaboration and approval. And the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported on November 17, 2019, less than three weeks after the October 27 Mass. And that man was probably not Patient Zero. Given that the incubation period (from exposure to symptoms) for the original strain of the virus ranged from two to 14 days, the appearance of the first cases in November puts the leak of the virus suspiciously close to the whole “Pachamama in the Vatican” thing!

Besides closing churches, Pope Francis made the extraordinary decision to reject both his papal name and the historic titles associated with the Chair of Peter. In April 2020, when the annual Vatican directory came out, he was listed only as “Jorge Mario Bergoglio.”

On October 16, 2020, on the Feast of St. Gerard Majella (the patron of expectant mothers!), the Vatican City State Mint issued a 10-euro Pachamama coin.

Then on March 22, 2021, the Vatican imposed a ban on all private Masses in St. Peter’s Basilica. In the past, the 45 altars and 11 chapels in St. Peter’s Basilica were used by dozens and dozens of priests to celebrate their daily Masses. Now, only five Masses per day are permitted, all in Italian, and the lines are 1 to 3 hours long to get in. Absurdly, the website says, “St. Peter’s Basilica functions as an active parish for local Romans.” Yeah, right. Cuz so many Catholics stand in line for hours to get into their parish churches for Mass! /sarc

Jorge Bergoglio has done a lot more to destroy the Roman Catholic Church, but this has gotten long. I just want to end by saying that I find it sickeningly ironic that Jorge Bergoglio took the name of Francis when he was elected to the papacy, then inaugurated the “abomination of desolation” on the great saint’s feast day. In the 13th century, when the man who is now known as St. Francis of Assisi was praying to know God’s meaning and purpose for his life, Jesus spoke to him saying, “Francis, go rebuild My house; as you see, it is all being destroyed.”

A Priest Tells Seven Rosary Stories

Fr. Goyo Hidalgo posted the following.

The Rosary has been a very central part of my life and it will always be. Here are some stories of my life involving the Rosary:

1) When I was 5, I wanted to run from home (I don’t remember why). My mother helped me pack (I don’t know why). The first thing she gave me was a rosary. I told her I didn’t know how to pray. She then taught me and I think that after the second decade, I decided to stay. I still have that OLD rosary. (Photo)

2) I learned to pray the Rosary with my Mom. (She used to trick me and my friends with chocolate). But I remember most praying the Rosary with my father while we walked through my quiet small town at night, even when he was tired. Fathers, pray with your kids. They will never forget.

3) When I came back to the Church, I called my Mom. After five minutes on the phone, she asked, “Do you remember how to pray the Rosary?” I said, “I forgot.” She said, “Okay, let’s pray it now.” And we both prayed over the phone. It was the beginning of my Prodigal Son story.

4) On the streets, hands behind my back with rosary, I hear someone. “I don’t pray now, but when I was young I used to pray with my father like that. Pray for me?” Me: “Wanna walk with me and pray?” And we did.

[CtH: I need a tissue!]

5) During Quarantine. After Mass, I walked around the streets praying the Rosary for neighbors and parishioners (like I used to do with my dad when I was little). A woman smiled from her window and showed me her rosary too. It feels amazing to be united in prayer. We are not alone. Be not afraid. Mary always walks with us.

6. Everyday I see this couple holding a rosary and praying together in the parking lot. I love praying the Rosary everyday, but some days are so crazy that my time goes fast and I almost forget. Watching them helps me stop and pray. Be a reminder for others of what prayer looks like.

7) As I was walking-praying my Rosary in our parking lot, a homeless guy started screaming at me. I kept on walking. On my way back home, he ran towards me and said, “I am so sorry. I didn’t see you were praying the Rosary. Pray for me.” Yup. The Rosary is the best weapon.

Bits & Bytes

COVID-19: California Gov. Newsome (D) signed a bill into law on Friday that will allow the state’s medical board to punish doctors for spreading “misinformation.” CLICK https://twitter.com/P_McCulloughMD/status/1566960554899644417 [2:38] to hear Dr. Drew explain what it means. Personally, I would qualify his statement that the ‘rona vaxxxes are “similar” to flu vaccines as BAD information. Killed virus vaccines are not the same as the mRNA poison jabs at all.

CLIMATE: During a World Economic Forum (WEF) panel discussion on disinformation, the U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications said of their efforts to police social media content, “We’re becoming much more proactive. We own the science, and we think that the world should know it.”

DOJ: CINO Joe’s Justice Department sent out more armed officers to round up more of those dangerous, (totally peaceful) pro-lifers. Meanwhile, they’re doing zip, zero, nada about the Catholic and Crisis Pregnancy facilities that have been vandalized every week since Roe was overturned.

ECONOMY: Under Bush, the national debt increased by about $620 billion per year. While campaigning, Obama said that was Totally Unacceptable, then as soon as he and his Dem majority got in power, they bumped it up to about $1.25 trillion per year. Under Biden and another Dem majority, it has again increased, this time to about $1.5 trillion per year.

FAUXTUS: Joe Biden is a genuinely privileged, pasty-white boy who has gotten rich because of his daddy’s political machine. But being a Democrat, he has to “relate” to all the various victim groups they pander to during election times and then ignore after they get elected, cuz they’re so busy lining their own pockets with taxpayers’ money.

CLICK https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1577701247444201472 [:48] to see a montage about his totes amazing upbringing as a Black, Puerto Rican, Catholic Jew. He also told hurricane-devastated Floridians that he knows how they feel, because he once “lost an awful lot” of his home. Reality Check: it was a small kitchen fire that was extinguished within 20 minutes.

Tweeters have come up with some good ones: “It’s pandermonium!”

“Happy Yom Kwanzaa de Mayo from me to you!”

“Next LGBTQ+ event: ‘I used to be a woman.’”

“Also, he was in the top of his class in law school while driving a semi truck to his classes at the Naval Academy.”

FBI: Peter Strzok’s blistering and well-deserved 2018 dismissal letter was published this week. Signed by the then-Deputy Director, it refers to “the long term damage” Strzok’s “personal bias,” “repeated selfishness,” and “sustained pattern of bad judgment” did “to the reputation of the FBI … which will take years to overcome.” Ouch. And totally deserved.

FLORIDA: Pine Tree Island Bridge was rebuilt in THREE DAYS. It’s making the Left nuts that “DeathSantis” is doing an awesome job so they’re busy making fun of his rubber boots. Cuz yeah, nothing is more redunkulus than a guy wearing rubber boots to inspect flood damage. ::smh::

IRS: Five former and current employees of the IRS have been charged with fraudulently obtaining ‘rona relief funds that they used for luxury goods, cars, and travel.

MILITARY: The US Army fell behind in their recruiting goals by 25% this year. They’re so desperate, they’re now admitting recruits that had been rejected or delayed in the past.

OKLAHOMA: Gov. Stitt has signed into law to prevent Oklahoma Children’s Hospital from issuing puberty blockers or doing sex-change surgery on minors. He is working on a bill that would ban the practice statewide.

UK: This Catholic mother of five was making dinner when Surrey Police forced their way into the home to arrest her for her allegedly “malicious” online posts. She was previously the subject of a five-month police investigation in 2019 after she was accused of calling a transgender woman a ‘he’ on Twitter.

GRAMMY NOTES: You gotta love a kid who asks to vacuum cuz he thinks its fun. LOL!

Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

On October 7, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the yearly feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Previously known as the Feast of Our Lady of Victory, the feast day marks the 16th century naval victory at Lepanto near the west coast of Greece on October 7, 1571. Catholic crew members on more than 200 ships prayed the Rosary in preparation for the battle in union with Catholics through Europe. The defeat of the Ottoman Turks ended the Muslim expansion into the Mediterranean.
