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%.

BORDER: Texas border patrol agents seized $2.1 million worth of liquid methamphetamine from a vehicle at the Rio Grande City Port of Entry. The driver was an unidentified 41-year-old American citizen.

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.

RACISM: It’s not an innate feature. It’s TAUGHT.

UK: [19:36] – FIVE British police arrested a British veteran and took him away in cuffs, because someone was “caused anxiety” by something he posted on Facebook.

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. The video covers what the Catholic Church’s official teaching is and then goes over what the various saints and mystics who have told us. You can buy blessed candles at the link.

ENVIRONMENT: Yet another piece of evidence that the “climate crisis” is just another tool in the Global Elites’ arsenal to take over the world. People who live in crowded cities are easier to control than people who live on and off of their own land.

NEWSPEAK: “The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.” – Phillip K Dick

NEW WORLD ORDER: Remember how Amazon made a ton of money during the lockdown? Remember how only mega-retailers like Wal*Mart were allowed to stay open, while small businesses that sold the exact same things were forced to close? Remember how a great many of those small businesses never reopened?

In 2020, Amazon opened an online drug store that allows customers to order medication or prescription refills, and have them delivered to their front door in a couple of days. Last year, it began offering its Amazon Care telemedicine program to employers nationwide. And now it’s buying One Medical, a subscription app that offers 24/7 on-demand telehealth services as well as same-day or next-day appointments.

S&G: The following are common ways that a sexual predator grooms a victim –

  1. Cultivating a positive reputation within the community
  2. Befriending the child’s family
  3. Singling the child out as a special friend
  4. Isolating the child
  5. Slowing pushing physical boundaries
  6. Introducing sexualized topics or imagery
  7. Isolating the child from his or her parents
  8. Encouraging the child to keep secrets

When it was revealed that some priests and bishops had been doing this stuff to minors, Lefties screamed bloody murder. But now that it’s teachers doing it in the public schools, suddenly it’s not evil and how dare we call it grooming! Yeah. No.

TWITTER: After censoring all content from The Epoch Times, the twerps at Twitter got so majorly lambasted that they backed off.

GRAMMY NOTES: I soooo want a picture of my girls wearing these! LOLOL

COVID-19 Update

Last week, FAUXTUS tested positive, went into isolation, was treated with Paxlovid, tested negative, and came out of isolation.

On Saturday, he tested positive again and has been sent back into isolation. His physician says it’s a “rare” rebound case that is seen in a “small” percentage of patients treated with the anti-viral drug Paxlovid.

Dr. Fauci and thousands of other vaxxxed and boosted individuals have experienced the same “rare” rebound. In fact, it’s common enough that Igor Chudov predicted on July 27 that Biden would test positive again in four days. He also noted that Fauci’s rebound lasted about three weeks, not the 3-5 days the CDC is saying.

Chudov writes, “Why did Dr. Fauci’s COVID bout last 26 days instead of 5-6 days, as was the usual case prior to vaccines? The answer can be seen after examining what repeated ‘COVID vaccinations’ do to immune systems, and understanding Paxlovid’s role better.

“Paxlovid is not a magic STOP button that kills all active virions of Sars-Cov-2 and ends the illness. It is a protease inhibitor that puts puts on hold a key stage of viral replication called ‘cleaving’. It can be best described as a SNOOZE button, that pauses viral replication for 5 days, just as the SNOOZE button would pause your alarm clock for 5 minutes. The 5-day treatment ends, and a few days after that the replication process, paused by Paxlovid, is able to restart.

“In early trials, Paxlovid was helpful to unvaccinated patients, whose undamaged immune systems were able to mount an adequate response and suppress any new virions that emerged from infected cells, where replication was paused by Paxlovid. So, Paxlovid appeared to work in unvaccinated people by stopping replication for 5 days, as 5 days was enough to develop a robust response.

“However, science has established that boosted people, whose immune systems are damaged by repeat transfections of spike-protein-generating mRNA nanoparticles, have problems with viral clearance and need much more time to clear live, replicating virions.

“So, since boosted people are slow to mount an effective immune response, and have no defenses developed by Day 5 of Paxlovid treatment, their infection essentially restarts again after a five-day pause. Why the slow immune response? Because of immune tolerance arising from repeated spike protein antigen shots, as seen with allergy shots, where tolerance is the intended effect.“

“Fauci and Biden received four antigen shots of mRNA, making ‘Covid spike protein’. If you heard of such repeat antigen shots before the pandemic, it is possibly because you or your loved ones received ‘allergy shots’. The purpose of allergy shots is very noble: give people repeated shots of allergens like pollen, have people develop ‘tolerance’ to the antigen, and stop allergies from reducing our quality of life. I received allergy shots myself. It helped somewhat.

“However, Sars-Cov-2 is NOT pollen! Unlike pollen, which should not cause immune overreaction, a dangerous virus is supposed to cause a robust immune response, high fever, muscle pains, and other symptoms of the immune system giving a strong reaction that ends viral infections quickly.

“Instead of seeing the viral antigen as a sign to start a battle against the virus, the immune system says “oh well, another spike protein injection” and ignores it. That allows the virus to multiply unchecked and cause immense damage by killing various cells and hurting our cardiovascular systems and more. The infected person feels less fever and less discomfort than they would feel from a robust immune reaction, so the illness feels ‘milder’, but this is actually a bad thing because the virus multiplies unopposed.

“Tolerance takes time to take effect due to the slow production of IgG4, so it does not happen right after a booster dose injection. Once tolerance takes effect, the virus is no longer seen as an ‘enemy’, to the same extent as it should be seen.

“Tolerance ultimately makes deaths ‘from Covid’ look like deaths ‘with Covid’. If a spike-tolerant boosted person dies from a heart attack that happens due to overexpression of the virus, it may seem unrelated. But it is NOT unrelated.

“If Joe Biden is like Tony Fauci, he will have symptoms and quite a few more days of ongoing and unpleasant illness. I hope that he recovers eventually.”

P.S.: Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine do not give rebounds.

2A: One word … MIDTERMS.

BORDER: [5:36] – Now that Democrats are being inconvenienced by the flood of illegals, criminals, and drugs, plus oopsie, they’re way down in the midterm polls … they’re going to fill in some of the gaps in the wall. Remember when Biden wasted a ton of money and put a bunch of people out of work by canceling construction that was already paid for?

BRING ON THE LAWSUITS: A group of health care workers has won an important legal victory over their former employer, NorthShore University HealthSystem in Illinois, which refused to acknowledge religious exemptions to their vaxxx mandate. There will be money and an opportunity to return to work in this first-of-its-kind settlement. I’m just sorry it is restricted to religious objections and did not include the fact that the vaxxxes were and continue to be experimental, ineffective, and dangerous.

CANCEL CULTURE: [4:27] – Jonathan Turley talks about the backlash against Justice Thomas for daring to help tear down Roe.

CHOICE: The Left doesn’t actually believe in it. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/2286593894826333 to see images of what anti-choicers have done to pregnancy resources centers since May. These places provide free medical and financial support to pregnant women and new mothers – i.e., choices other than abortion. This is intolerable to the “Shout Your Abortion” left.

CLASSY: Dems are so good at promoting unity to heal the deep division in our culture. /sarc

I am underwhelmed to see Sanchez is wearing a cross in the banner photo at her congressional website. What a hypocrite. Let us hope and pray that the midterm elections turn out like that game did. The Republicans won 10-0.

EDUCATION: Richland School District Two in South Carolina made an attempt to keep parents and other concerned individuals from learning what was in the public schools’ libraries. Parents found a back door and found the PTBs were hiding dozens of pro-trans, pro-gay, pro-pornography, and anti-conservative-values titles in elementary, middle and high school libraries. One of the books says Trump and the Founding Fathers were racists. Another is a graphic novel containing sexually explicit content.

LEFTY REALITY: [3:49] – Samantha Markle is suing her half-sister, Meghan, for defamation over her comments during an Oprah Winfrey interview in which she detailed the struggles of being an only child. Meghan’s lawyer says Samantha has no case, because clearly the Duchess didn’t literally mean she was an only child. Except, yeah, that’s exactly what she said. The panel discusses if this was defamatory. I’m thinking that having someone essentially wipe away your existence is pretty darn hostile. Whether that qualifies legally as defamatory, I couldn’t say.

NEW WORLD ORDER: The World Economic Forum has issued a report noting that there aren’t enough critical metals such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel, to provide electric cars for everyone. Well, duh. There’s no such thing as a “transition to clean energy.” What there is is a Global Elitist agenda to prevent the hoi polloi from having the independence a personal vehicle provides. Ditto the protection personal firearms provide. They want to take us to a global version of the feudal days, when serfs were easy to control and exploit, because they couldn’t travel or defend themselves.

NEW YORK: A New York judge has thrown out an attempt by the state’s Department of Health to give the commissioner the power to order quarantining for anyone, anywhere, at any time.

NIMBY: Democrats are about as welcoming to illegals as they are to unplanned fetuses. When Biden opened our border, Texas and Arizona were overwhelmed and decided to bus illegals to D.C. After all, it’s a Democrat city with a history of welcoming illegals! Right?

Wrong. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is Seriously Annoyed that she’s having to actually feed, house, etc. a teeny tiny fraction of the illegals who have flooded across our border. She has reportedly even requested that the district’s National Guard be activated to assist.

House Judiciary Committee member Chip Roy said of Bowser’s troubles: “Cry me a frickin’ river –  welcome to the party, pal.“

PELOSI: CLICK https://rumble.com/v1dyo9v-pelosi-struggles-to-form-sentences-in-bizarre-slurring-speech.html [1:37] to hear a bizarre, slurring speech by the #3 in line for the White House. We are so screwed.

ST. CHARBEL: Saint Charbel Makhlouf was a Maronite monk and priest who lived in Lebanon during the 19th c. He gained a wide reputation for holiness and for his ability to unite Christians and Muslims. He was canonized in 1977 and has many miraculous cures attributed to his intercession.

S&G: Students at Grace Church [Episcopal] School in downtown Manhattan used one of its weekly mandatory chapel services to host a drag show. Students report there was “tons of pressure” to act approvingly and to “pretend like it was normal.”

TRANS: After six minors developed pseudotumor cerebri (PTC), the FDA added a warning to the puberty-blocking drug they were taking. Five of the girls were being treated for precocious puberty and one for transgender “care.” Untreated, PTC can lead to progressive (and possibly permanent) loss of vision. Meanwhile, President Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health “Rachel” Levine insists that dosing minors up with hormones that block puberty is “life-saving, medically necessary, age-appropriate, and a critical tool for health care providers.” Or, you know, it’s child abuse. Take your pick.

TWITTER: On July 28, Twitter started adding this “Unsafe Link” warning to all links to content from The Epoch Times.

End Time Prophecy

On July 24, 2022, Luz de Maria de Bonilla said the Blessed Mother gave her this message [8:02]. Transcript below.

“Beloved people of my Son, beloved children, I draw near to each of my own to offer my hands at this moment of blindness, when the evil oppressor of souls has sent his emissaries to blindfold as many as possible. Maintain your constant practice of God’s Law, of the Sacraments, of the Beatitudes and other pious goals. Not giving the enemy respite, my Son’s People must constantly grow in the spiritual life in order to grow deeper and be more closely united to my Divine Son.”

“Practice the corporal and spiritual works of mercy so that you would aspire to the good and not fall prey to those that wish to blindfold you so that you would not fulfill them, would not act in the good and so your hearts would be hardened. Be assured that every act of love for your neighbor and for love of God is a wellspring of blessings for you, even if you do not ask for them.”

“My children are those who within themselves recognize that they are sinners, meek of heart and who deeply love my Divine Son above all else. Children, fight evil with good. It is the good that should flourish within you at this time. Even if you are viewed with indifference and rejection, this leads you to become more like my Divine Son.”

“People of my Son, war is progressing and humanity does not see it. Pray, people of my Son: war is positioning itself to pounce forcefully and unexpectedly.”

“Pray, people of my Son, pray: a new plague will be the cry of the powerful. Homes will again become shelters for their inhabitants and borders will be closed.”

“Pray, people of my Son! You will be offered the mark when you are hungry. Refuse!”

“Children, nature will be modified by the powers in their struggle for supremacy. Some will modify the climate and others the tectonic faults. Not everything that happens is the work of nature. Remain attentive: do not forget that the sun is doing damage to the Earth, exacerbating suffering.”

“Pray. A powerful person will fall in a political betrayal; he will be killed and there will be chaos on the Earth.”

“People of my Son, communism is advancing and world hunger is one of its great weapons.”

“The church of my Son is in shadow. My Son’s church is undergoing persecution in small countries, which will later progress to the great nations. Do not lose faith; continue being faithful to my Divine Son. You are heading toward the Purification and some of my children are becoming tired and overwhelmed by the wait, and yet they continue in constant expectation as in the depths of their hearts they hear, ‘You must bear fruit for eternal life.’”

“I am the mother of humanity and I suffer because so many of my children who, having been called to be lighted lamps have become conceited and do not illuminate their surroundings, becoming mixed with the things of the world.”

“Children, come to me and walk in the True Way, led by my hand. Come to me and I will lead you to my Divine Son. Give me your hands without fear and be ready to walk without looking sideways, but only toward My Son. I bless you, beloved; do not fear.”

CLICKBAIT: [18:57] – Anne Reardon explains clickbait. It reminds me of slot machines.

DEMOCRATS: CLICK https://twitter.com/rncresearch/status/1551666646032547842 [6:27] for seven minutes of them saying we need to defund the police. Now that violence has skyrocketed (who woulda thunk!), they’re suddenly claiming they never, ever said that. If you think they did, it must be some dirty Republican you’re thinking of. I’m sure.

EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE: [5:48] – I have already posted about the viral video of a consecrated host in a monstrance that, for about half a minute, pulsed like a human heart. This event took place on July 24, 2022 in Mexico. The church was full when this happened and many people filmed the event on their cell phones. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Somebody manipulated one of the many videos of the event to make the pulsing easier to see, then showed how much it looks like ultrasound images of a beating heart.

FAUCI: On Monday, Doctor I AM the Science! claimed, “I didn’t recommend locking anything down. Go back and look at my statements.” Okay, let’s do that.

In October 2020, Fauci publicly recommended that former President Donald Trump “shut the whole country down … completely the way China did.”

And again in August 2020, he said public schools, bars and restaurants should remain closed across the country.

Why is it that Democrats think they can rewrite history any time they like?

FAUXTUS: Some folks have been suggesting that the two Joe Bidens who gave speeches on the same day were not the same person. Tweeter Bill Byrd and I had the same thought: “Before and after his meds.”

I looked closely at the images and, honestly, I doubt you’re ever going to find a body double who can withstand brightly lit close ups to begin with, much less one whose ears and nasolabial folds are a match. Also, the less realistic Biden is the one with unblinking eyes. Why would they use a body double to make him look worse?

GAS PRICES: As soon as FAUXTUS got his foot in the door of the Oval Office, he reversed every energy independence thing Trump had done. Gas prices rose, as he had promised us they would. It’s what the global elites want. First he said the president couldn’t control gas prices and blamed it on “transitory inflation.” Then he blamed it on “Putin’s price hike“, then on “price gouging gas stations.” Now he’s spinning $4.30/gallon as a win for his administration. “Gas prices have declined by an average of 60 cents per gallon over the past 38 days. Five straight weeks of gas prices coming down.“

HEPATITIS: [20:26] – Dr. Campbell explains that the cause of the recent outbreak of very serious hepatitis in children is not related to either COVIS-19 or the vaxxx. It does appear to be related to the lockdowns. Children ordinarily get exposed to and develop immunity to a very common virus at a young enough age that it doesn’t cause serious symptoms. Because of lockdown, kids missed this exposure until later when it does cause serious symptoms.

MARK OF THE BEAST: Those who do not comply will not be allowed to buy or sell. – Earlier this week, Twitter locked out Moms For Liberty for tweeting a truth about gender dysphoria; the group’s most recent tweet is from July 25. Now PayPal has frozen their account!

PROJECT VERITAS: [14:51] – James O’Keefe reviews PV’s ongoing defamation suit with the New York Times. So far, it has survived a motion to dismiss, which the Times has appealed. In the appeal, Times lawyers make some astonishing claims. Watch to hear about them.

RECESSION: [4:03] – Until five minutes ago, the definition of a recession was when a nation’s GDP dropped two quarters in a row. The 2Q report just came out and America’s GDP has dropped for the second quarter in a row.

But FAUXTUS has informed us that two consecutive quarters of negative growth doesn’t necessarily indicate the country is in a recession! Silly people, thinking words have meanings other than those assigned to them by the Global Elites! If the State says 2+2=5, then 2+2=5, dammit.

S&G: [Bolding by CtH.] – In June, the DOJ published a report called “Violent Victimization by Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, 2017-2020” that said homo- and bi-sexuals are assaulted significantly more often than are heterosexuals. I expect this report will be tooted about by Democrats in their ongoing quest to promote the sexually perverse as a favored victim class. And of course, they’ll place all the blame for the assaults on homo- and trans-“phobes.”

But I notice a glaring absence in the data, which is, “Who did the victimizing?”The closest bit I saw was this. “Domestic violence was eight times as high among bisexual persons (32.3 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 16 or older) and more than twice as high among lesbian or gay persons (10.3 per 1,000) as it was among straight persons (4.2 per 1,000).”

Also, in the category of “intimate partner violence” (violence performed by a current or former intimate partner), the assault rate for bixsexuals is over 8 times that of straights. It shouldn’t be surprising, since “bisexual” suggests there is a three-or-more thing going on, which whether consensual or not, is rife with opportunities for jealous rages.

“Domestic” and “intimate partner” suggest these people are not being beat up by heterosexual “-phobes,” but by their own sexual partners. And this is backed up by two other studies. In 2018, the American Journal of Men’s Health reported that almost half of the homosexual men surveyed said they had experienced “some form of intimate partner abuse.” And a 2013 DOJ-funded report said that homosexual youths were “148 per cent more likely to be physically abused in relationships.”

The other point I didn’t see anywhere is what kinds of behaviors the homo-, bi-, and trans- victims were engaging in when they were assaulted by strangers. E.g., if a homosexual got beat up at a gay bondage party or while cruising alleys and bars for casual sex, that would kind of matter.

TUCKER: [12:38] – He lists the sins of the Dems that they’re hoping we’ll forget.

TWITTER: Dr. Andrew Bostom has been permanently suspended for this tweet.

GRAMMY NOTES: I’m so pleased with how this one turned out. My favorite painting teacher is British; I’m always wanting to say “chuffed” instead of “pleased” :-). Anyway, I posted this in her FB group and got this wonderful compliment from a fellow watercolorist: “We breed birds and you have reason to be pleased. You captured the exhaustion of one and surprise of the other.“

FAUXTUS: He’s over COVID.

J6 LIAR: I reported a while back about Cassidy Hutchinson’s b.s. testimony in which she made several explosive claims damning to Trump that were quickly disputed by people who, unlike Cassidy Hutchinson, had actually been present when said incidents occurred.

On Tuesday, Mollie Hemingway and Tristan Justice published the results of their research into Hutchinson’s Big Fat Lies. In short, prior to her testimony, she had expressed privately and often that she admired Trump and his presidency, knew very little about any wrongdoing from Jan. 6, lamented about how corrupt the clown committee is, called Cheney and Kinzinger “losers”, and complained that CNN was “warping everything.”

MATT GAETZ: Showing us how it’s done – Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) recently said, “Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb. These people are odious! They’re like 5’2″, 350 pounds and they’re like ‘give me my abortion.’”

The Left, which routinely calls Republican women ugly names, was outraged. A reporter asked Gaetz if he was suggesting “these women at these abortion rallies are ugly and overweight?” When Gaetz replied in the affirmative, the reporter asked, “What do you say to people who think those comments are offensive?”, Gaetz responded with a straight face, “Be offended.”

S&G: Earlier this month, footage of a drag queen attempting to entertain a toddler while parading around topless in the R House bar in Wynwood, Florida began circulating across the internet. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has investigated and served a lawsuit to the owners of the bar about hosting drag shows for children.

TRUMP’S VIRTUES: Tom Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute, explains Trump’s Virtues and how he was born to fight today’s battle against Woke Communism. [17:59] – M.B. Mathews writes, “I recently wrote a column about why I believed Trump should not run in 2024. I was wrong. I allowed my distaste for Trump’s personality to override his virtues, which are considerable. Some people want Trump without his vices. I was among them — until yesterday, when I watched and listened to Tom Klingenstein’s speech titled Trump’s virtues. It was masterful and shamed me that I did not make the distinction between Trump’s character and his virtues, the former being deeply flawed, the latter being almost perfect. I need to man up in my defense of the former President’s virtues. The speech was among the most pointed I have heard and deserves some exposure.”

TUCKER: [16:11] – This is funny!

VAXXX: Seth Meyers has had to cancel his show for the rest of the week, because he has caught the ‘rona … for the second time in six months. But, he tweets, “the good news is, I feel fine (thanks vaccines and booster!)” No, Seth. You can thank the vaxxx and the booster for damaging your immune system so much that you got it for a second time. The unvaxxxed get it once and acquire lifetime immunity.

I recently saw a comment on a vaxxx story at The Epoch Times in which the unvaxxxed guy says he caught COVID-19 and it was a nothing much cold. So he’s over it and almost certainly will never get it again. But his mom, seeing how mild it was, is furious at all the pols and talking heads who made her so fearful that she got the jab.

GRAMMY NOTES: It was super hot, so Mama Bear let the kids spray each other with the hose while she supervised and washed dishes. 🙂

Bible Study

[37:25] – This is absolutely fascinating! I did not know any of this stuff. Below is Psalm 22 (NABRE) so you can follow the discussion more intelligently.

1 For the leader; according to “The deer of the dawn.” A psalm of David.

I. 2 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why so far from my call for help, from my cries of anguish? 3 My God, I call by day, but you do not answer; by night, but I have no relief. 4 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the glory of Israel. 5 In you our fathers trusted; they trusted and you rescued them. 6 To you they cried out and they escaped; in you they trusted and were not disappointed.

7 But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by men, despised by the people. 8 All who see me mock me; they curl their lips and jeer; they shake their heads at me: 9 “He relied on the Lord—let him deliver him; if he loves him, let him rescue him.” 10 For you drew me forth from the womb, made me safe at my mother’s breasts. 11 Upon you I was thrust from the womb; since my mother bore me you are my God. 12 Do not stay far from me, for trouble is near, and there is no one to help.

[Lament] II. 13 Many bulls surround me; fierce bulls of Bashan encircle me. 14 They open their mouths against me, lions that rend and roar. 15 Like water my life drains away; all my bones are disjointed. My heart has become like wax, it melts away within me. 16 As dry as a potsherd is my throat; my tongue cleaves to my palate; you lay me in the dust of death. 17 Dogs surround me; a pack of evildoers closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and my feet; 18 I can count all my bones. They stare at me and gloat; 19 they divide my garments among them; for my clothing they cast lots.

NOTE: The bulls, lions, dogs, pierce in the lament are precisely reversed as sword, dog, lion, bulls in the petition.

[Petition] 20 But you, Lord, do not stay far off; my strength, come quickly to help me. 21 Deliver my soul from the sword, my life from the grip of the dog. 22 Save me from the lion’s mouth, my poor life from the horns of wild bulls.

III. 23 Then I will proclaim your name to my brethren; in the assembly I will praise you: 24 “You who fear the Lord, give praise! All descendants of Jacob, give honor; show reverence, all descendants of Israel! 25 For he has not spurned or disdained the misery of this poor wretch, Did not turn away from me, but heard me when I cried out. 26 I will offer praise in the great assembly; my vows I will fulfill before those who fear him. 27 The poor will eat their fill; those who seek the Lord will offer praise. May your hearts enjoy life forever!”

IV. 28 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord; All the families of nations will bow low before him. 29 For kingship belongs to the Lord, the ruler over the nations. 30 All who sleep in the earth will bow low before God; All who have gone down into the dust will kneel in homage. 31 And I will live for the Lord; my descendants will serve you. 32 The generation to come will be told of the Lord, that they may proclaim to a people yet unborn the deliverance you have brought.

1A: Last week, the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a law banning counseling for minors with unwanted same-sex attractions and behaviors or gender confusion violates the First Amendment.

BABYLON BEE: So who do we hate? [3:23] – LOL.

BORDER: Ted Cruz tweeted this to highlight the narco slave trade. CLICK https://twitter.com/sentedcruz/status/1551746363523842049 [1:08].

CALIFORNIA EMIGRANTS: Babylon Bee provides a helpful guide to Californians fleeing the Tarnished State. Among them, “You have to go into buildings without any kind of official warning that something inside there might cause cancer. You will just have to take the chance. Be strong.” CLICK to see the rest.

FAMINE: It is coming, courtesy of the Global Elites. Their latest move is to force farmers to cut carbon emissions to a point that the farmers say will reduce food production. IMO, it’s just another piece of their plan to reduce the world’s population to levels they can manipulate, control, and abuse.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/joebiden/status/1551993265473323010 [:17] to see a really creepy clip of FAUXTUS trying to tell us that it’s the Democrats who support law enforcement. As if. ::snork:: But really, the reason I’m posting is so you can watch his eyes. In a space of time when a normal person would blink four or five times, he never blinks once.

Healthline says decreased blinking can be seen with other motor symptoms I’ve noticed in clips of Slow Joe, including non-expressive look, blank stare, loss of inflection, soft speech, flexed-forward posture, slow, shuffling gait, and difficulty getting started or freezing during movements. These and a bunch of non-motor symptoms like loss of ability to multi-task and concentrate and slowness of thought can be indicative of a number of conditions, including dementia.

J6 BIG LIE: Liz Cheney’s Kangaroo Committee is trying to put the blame for violence at the Capitol on then-President Trump. For example, she has said that Trump “never issued any order to deploy the National Guard to protect the Capitol,” suggesting that he wanted violence to break out.

But POTUS does not have the authority to order deployment of the military for use inside the United States; if Trump had ever issued such an order, he would have been violating the Constitution.

Instead, he followed the law by authorizing the Defense Department to use “up to 20,000 National Guardsmen and women.” The Defense Department then followed protocol by presenting the authorization to the appropriate people who could then agree and make a formal request.

In this case, the appropriate people were D.C. Mayor Bowser (Democrat) and the Chief of the Capitol Police, who answers to Speaker Pelosi (Democrat). They both declined to request deployment of the National Guard to protect the Capitol.

The fact Trump authorized the National Guard to guarantee a safe transition and the two top Democrats refused them tells us all we need to know. And let’s not forget that just eleven days later, the Pentagon sent tens of thousands of National Guard troops to D.C. to guarantee a safe transition for Biden’s inauguration.

J6 SUMMARY: Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) tweeted his Cliff Notes of the J6 Clown Show. Louise Smith added, “6. Okay. He didn’t encourage it, but we think that he might have thought about it or in his thoughts, think that others may be thinking about it and we think he thinks what we think he thinks instead of thinking other thoughts about any thinking.” Yup.

J6 WITCH HUNT: On Friday, Jonathan Turley wrote, “J6 Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney has been criticized by critics for participating in a one-sided series of hearings devoid of alternative or dissenting views. Some have called it a ‘show trial’ with members reading off teleprompters in tightly scripted and controlled hearings. As if to fulfill that show trial portrayal, Cheney ended the hearing this week by calling for more officials to come forward and noting that Trump family members and former officials have now come forward with their own public ‘confessions.’ As with past hearings, the summation included a direct call by Cheney for voters to oppose Donald Trump in the coming election.”

As if anybody but loyal Dems are listening to this crap! I’m reminded of Joseph McCarthy, whose rabid disregard for due process led to him not only failing to keep his job, but also poisoning Wisconsinites against the GOP. McCarthy is the last Republican to sit in his Senate seat. We can only hope that Wyoming’s voters recognize Liz Cheney for the Pelosi operative she is and elect a true conservative to replace her.

KENTUCKY: On Friday, an activist judge in the Jefferson Circuit Court granted abortion facilities a temporary injunction against enforcement of the state’s abortion bans. The state’s 15-week ban is in effect.

MARYLAND: School staff in Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland are prohibited from disclosing students’ transgender identity to their parents if the school deems the students’ parents to be unsupportive of the transition.

NCAA: The NCAA conference offices have nominated 151 actual females for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year award. They represent 17 sports and boast a 3.8 GPA. Trans swimmer “Lia” Thomas was put forward by her college, but thankfully, was dropped. As University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines correctly noted, nominating Thomas for “Woman of the Year” was a “slap in the face” to real women athletes.

TWITTER: The above tweet got Moms for Liberty booted off Twitter. They were told the tweet “[promotes] violence against, [threatens], or [harasses] other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.“

VAXXX: The New England Journal of Medicine recently published the results of a small (66 individuals) study that looked at how long COVID patients remained contagious. The sample size was small, with only 16 unvaxxxed, 37 vaxxxed, and 13 boosted.

The biggest take away from the study was that, by day 5, about half of each group was no longer contagious, which is why they suggested the PTBs could shorten the isolation period from 10 to 5 days.

The biggest difference in the three groups showed up in the half that took longer than 5 days to stop shedding virus. The last unvaxxxed individual got there by day 10, the last vaxxxed individual by day 11, and the last boosted individual by day 14.

Interestingly, the unvaxxxed actually shed more virus during the first few days, but then dropped below the other two groups and got done first.

VFAUXTUS: As I have said before, Democrats are not serious people. In the latest bizarre nod to wokeism, Kamala has adopted a bizarre style of self-introduction that sounds like it’s straight out of an AA meeting.

CLICK https://twitter.com/l0m3z/status/1456276894664384523 [:23] to see two Microsoft employees (including a “tech evangelist” … don’t ask, I have no idea) make sure even the blind can discriminate based on their race.

CLICK https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1551984522685829120 [:22] to hear the Vice President of the United States mimic this idiocy as she introduces herself. Everyone else at the table introduced themselves by saying their pronouns and what they are wearing.

It all reminded me of one of the stupider-than-normal ice breakers the adult leaders forced us teens to perform during church youth group meetings. Later on, it was games at bridal and baby showers.

GRAMMY NOTES: [17:26] – He is my people.

CDC: One more reason to not trust anything they say about the ‘rona or the vaxxx.

COVID-19: Dr. Campbell shows evidence that natural immunity gained by recovering from Omicron is providing protection from the Ba.4 and Ba.5 variants that are now decimating the vaxxxed. [18:07] – Igor Chudov explains that those who got the jabs, especially those who also got boosted, are not only getting infected and re-infected, but also are dying from these variants.

FOOD SAFETY: Food scientists have found that people who wash chicken before cooking are more likely to promote food poisoning than those who do not wash it. Raw chicken is teeming with germs and you need to be sure it is thoroughly cooked before serving it. But it is the heat that kills the germs; washing just spreads them around your kitchen.

J6 CLOWN COMMITTEE: John Solomon’s article (link) covers Pelosi’s vindictive effort to blame the J6 violence on Trump. He includes “the most compelling piece of evidence that Trump wanted to thwart — rather than incite —violence” which the Democrats and their media lapdogs are carefully ignoring.

LANCET: This highly respected medical journal recently published a study showing that the immune function of individuals 8 months after the mRNA jabs is lower than the immune function of unvaxxxed individuals. The researchers recommended that, “as a safety measure, further booster vaccinations should be discontinued.”

They also propose there may be “a possible risk of unknown organ damage caused by the vaccine that has remained hidden without apparent clinical presentations, mainly in the circulatory system.” The study concludes, “COVID-19 vaccination is a major risk factor for infections in critically ill patients.”

PERVERSION: New York Times writer Alex Beggs published a piece entitled “A Taste for Cannibalism” in which he noted that countless recent pop culture sources seemed to be “normalizing” eating human flesh. Of course they are. Just like they’re busy normalizing pedophilia as “minor attraction,” are trying to legalize polygamy, and have already succeeded at normalizing homosexuality, public nudity, and child mutilation in the name of transgendering. If you don’t get it that Satan is in charge now, then you have not been paying attention.

THESOUL PUBLISHING: ANY engagement with a video drives up the algorithm, including dislikes and negative comments. The best thing to do with a bad video is to ignore it. [25:42] – Viewers beware. This Russian company exists for the sole purpose of making money from clickbait videos posted to YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok. The ones I’ve seen debunked most often have been from “5 Minute Crafts”, but the company has hundreds of channels. According to Wikipedia, they employ more than 2,000 people who produce more than two thousand videos per month, each adapted to satisfy internet algorithims. Accuracy and honesty are not company policies. All they care about is how many clicks a video gets, because the advertisers pay by the click.

TRANS: The article linked here is excellent. It tells the story of how a Christian teen decided she was really a boy and what her parents did to cure her of it. Excerpt – “The gender identity conversation is really about the created order, and turning it upside down. If you can think right-side-up, then you know three things. …

“First, God is the Creator, and we are the creatures. That means we don’t make our own identity—we receive it. Second, God did not split our souls and our bodies but knit us together as whole people. He doesn’t mash together male minds and female bodies, or vice versa. And third, God sets our sex into our whole bodies—maleness and femaleness are written into biology from chromosomes to hormones to anatomy including our sex organs and brains. For this reason, our physical bodies are our guide for gender. Our gender expression—being a brother or sister, wife or husband, father or mother—coincides with and arises from our physical bodies.”

UK: The LONDON & Quadrant Housing Trust (L&Q) fired Maureen Martin for voicing her belief in the traditional view of marriage in a leaflet during her campaign for mayor of Lewisham. Martin is an ordained minister. The Trust justified its actions, saying that while it respects “individuals’ freedom to hold particular religious or other beliefs“, it will “not tolerate it when these beliefs are manifested in a way that is derogatory or offensive to others.” In short, Christians can expect to be punished for preaching the Gospel.

VAXXX: Wayne Allyn Root says 33 of his nearest and dearest have either died or been injured, crippled, or disabled in the eight months since his wedding. Every one of them was vaxxxed. “Among my friends and family who are unvaccinated, not one of them has died or been sick since my wedding eight months ago.”

GRAMMY NOTES: Please pray for Dearest. He is going in today for pre-op tests then, if all goes well, he’ll be getting a valve job next week. His valve problem is genetic; his mom and auntie had to have this done back when it meant open heart chest cracking. We are very grateful that his commitment to healthy living allowed us to put his off for more than 20 years since his first diagnosis, during which time, TAVR was developed and then perfected. The recovery from chest cracking takes months. TAVR recovery is counted in days.
