CALIFORNIA: San Francisco – Walgreens has closed its 10th store in the San Francisco area. Residents blame rampant shoplifting caused by the city’s soft-on-crime policies.

While interviewing homeowners about the recent spike in crime in Nancy Pelosi’s district, a reporter was robbed of a camera at gunpoint.

CLASS WARFARE: This article – “America’s Elites are waging class war on workers and small businesses” – is worth reading in full. The class warfare is part of the Great Reset. Only the ginormous global corporations whose CEOs are on board with the Leftists’ “We Rule The World” agenda can be allowed to survive and thrive.

In America, class warfare is often disguised as culture war, and culture war is often cloaked by talk of race. But underneath it all, the class warfare is still there. Whether accidentally or intentionally, America’s upper classes seem to wind up harming the working class and small businesses, always in the name of some high-minded cause.” Read the rest at the link.

CONNECTICUT: Connecticut is lifting capacity limits on restaurants, retail outlets, libraries, personal services, indoor recreation, gyms, museums, offices, and houses of worship on March 19. In addition, limits on outdoor gatherings at a private residence will increase to 100 people at a private residence or 200 at a commercial venue, with indoor gatherings limits going to 25 and 100 people, respectively.

Beginning April 2, outdoor amusement parks will be able to open. Indoor stadiums will reopen at 10% capacity and outdoor event venues at 50% capacity with a maximum of 10,000 people. Indoor theaters will continue to have a 50% attendance limit, and restaurants and entertainment venues must close by 11 p.m.

The state will keep its mask mandate in place, and bars that only serve beverages will remain shut down.

KAYLEIGH: She back! [10:06] – Brand new Fox News analyst Kayleigh McEnany discusses Biden, Psaki, and GOP concerns over the coronavirus bill.

ME TOO: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/whitehousebrief/videos/187262576158996 [2:33] Press Secretary Psaki struggles to explain VP Kamala Harris’s SILENCE on sexual harassment allegations against Gov. Cuomo after her attacks on Kavanaugh. “Uh … uh … uh.

STRUCTURAL RACISM: A Baltimore high school student who failed all but three classes over his four years is ranked in the top half of his class despite a 0.13 GPA.

Is it okay if we call out the corrupt teachers’ union and Democrat leadership who demand little or nothing of black students? Can we even whisper the words “racism” about the apparently deliberate efforts of these people to keep poor blacks in the welfare plantation ghettos and jails? Can we even ask about the entire Black ghetto culture that leads to single mothers raising multiple kids with no fathers in the home, who can’t or won’t care about their kids’ academic performance?

This boy’s mother says she didn’t realize until February of his senior year that he had been failing classes all along, because the school kept on promoting him to the next grade. She blames the school, says they never told her. They say they did and she didn’t pay attention. She says she had three jobs. He’s now in a different school, starting over again with 9th grade and hoping to graduate for real by 2023.

Baltimore has not had a Republican mayor since 1967.

GRAMMY NOTES: One of my military kids got a meritorious service medal yesterday! And I got to watch cuz they live streamed the ceremony! ❤

CADBURY: Not for me, thanks. Not that I eat that stuff anyway, but if I did, I wouldn’t after seeing that ad. And it’s not just the gay males sharing a single egg. It’s the whole “Easter is about pigging out on gooey sweets” thing. I hate it even worse than I hate the commercialization of Christmas and the trivialization of St. Patrick every March.

FAUXTUS: Trump tells about a conversation he had with a member of Congress long ago, way before he had any interest in running. Trump says he asked, “Who is the dumbest person in Congress?” and that the answer was quick and decisive, “Joe Biden.”

FREEDOM: CLICK https://fb.watch/42J4Ti89Bo/ [2:35] to hear about Tunnel 57.

GREAT RESET: Once upon a time, this thing was considered a conspiracy theory. Now it is actually happening. Other names it goes by include Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, Globalism, New World Order, and Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The main goal is to create a New World Order, something that looks very familiar to anyone who has read the Book of Revelation. Some people call it Socialism; other call it Communism. I think of it as Global Feudalism, where 2% (or so) of the elites control all the wealth and all the power while the rest of us are treated like serfs.

The rich and powerful that make up the world’s elite are calling the shots. At the top of the pyramid are people like the British royal family, big banking dynasties like the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, CEOs of giant corporations like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, the United Nations, the WHO, Democrat elites, NeverTrumpers, and RINOs.

This is why Democrat states are still locked down, while Republican states like South Dakota never closed or opened early (Florida) and are opening (Texas, Arizona, West Virginia). It’s got nothing to do with science or saving lives and everything to do with destroying small businesses and training Americans to do what they’re told when they’re told.

Globalist Anthony Fauci said it out loud last November. “Now is the time to do what you’re told.” If he and his peeps have their way, “now” will be “for the rest of forever.” It’s kinda like how “two weeks to flatten the curve” turned into “we can’t predict when this will end.” Fauci’s latest statement was probably not until 2022 … or maybe later.

It’s easy to see the Great Reset agenda at work every day. For example, Texas Gov. Abbott lifted the mask mandate and the Left went ballistic. The same week, news broke that FAUXTUS had released more than a hundred COVID-positive illegals to go where they pleased and the Left was ::crickets::.

JEN PSAKI: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/whitehousebrief/videos/880665266045156 [6:26] to hear FAUXTUS’ spokeswoman dismiss the nastiness of one of his appointees (who has been withdrawn because she’s so awful).

QANON INAUGURATION DAY: Watch this one! The Left told us that right-wingers would storm the capitol on March 4th – CLICK https://www.facebook.com/TuckerCarlsonTonight/videos/255666946227501 [13:06] to hear Tucker talk about the latest Leftist lie.

We didn’t see a single person insurrecting at the Capitol today — or for that matter, anywhere else in the country. Shocked? Don’t be. It was just another lie, not so different from when they told us we’d need troops to protect Joe Biden’s inauguration. Then they said we’d need soldiers to keep ‘QAnon’ away from the impeachment trial. Then there was today’s hysteria. Next, there will be something else. … Wokeness is what you when you are miserable inside.

QANON: Before I listened to the Tucker piece above, I was in the Never Heard of It (43%). Now I’m in the Undecided [21%] because, while I’ve now heard of it, I still have no idea what it really is. Or is not.

PORKULUS: As predicted, the vote was split down party lines, with VFAUXTUS casting the tie breaking vote. As I have said before, I think we are past the point of no return with our national debt. This monstrosity will just bring us that much faster to the day when the federal government is forced to declare bankruptcy.

Only 9 percent of this $1.9 trillion is related to health care, and less than 1 percent of this $1.9 trillion bill is related to vaccines.” – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

On Wednesday, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) tore into Biden for the “dreadful” bill. “President Biden said in putting together the bill, he said we want to meet you, us, the Republicans, halfway. If that’s the case he’s a damn poor judge of distance. He’s rejected everything we’ve proposed. … The only way I know how to improve it is with a shredder.”

BORDER: Since late January,more than 100 COVID-positive illegals have been released into the United States. Officials have advised them to quarantine and follow federal health guidelines. Yeah, like that’s going to work.

More than 1,600 illegals have been arrested in just one three-day period in the Del Rio Sector of the border. These included more than 25 smugglers and two convicted felons (including a rapist).

CANCEL CULTURE: Former soccer star, Seth Jahn, gave a heartfelt speech to the U.S. Soccer Federation’s Athlete Council in favor of continuing to ban kneeling during the national anthem in place. The ultra-liberal council not only removed the prohibition, but also they fired Seth Jahn for speaking up in favor of it.

I’m embarrassed at the cowardice of so-called friends who bent over to the mob, knowing very well the quality of my character.” – Seth Jahn

CUOMO: [6:21] – In the wake of the nursing home scandal, the cover up of the nursing home scandal, and three accusations from women of sexually inappropriate behavior, Governor Nipple Rings is refusing to resign saying, “I have never done anything in my public career that I have been ashamed of.

EQUALITY: Multiple studies have shown that, while liberals claim to value equality more than conservatives do, it is actually conservatives who walk the walk.

One of the studies found that white liberals tend to dumb down their vocabulary when speaking to minorities, while conservatives speak the same way to everyone.

FAUCI:Two weeks to flatten the curve” has morphed into “We’re not going to ever let you have your freedoms back. Not ever.

On Tuesday, Dr. Anthony (often-wrong, but always on board the Globalist Elite’s “destroy America” train) Fauci said, “I don’t think we’re going to be completely normal a year from now. But I hope [by then] all the unintended consequences of shutting down [will have begun] to normalize.”

FAUXTUS: After seven weeks in office, Dementia Joe has yet to hold a press conference. On Wednesday, he addressed lawmakers on COVID issues via the internet, then said he would be “happy to take questions” from Democratic lawmakers. Seconds later, the White House cut the feed.

FOR THE POLITICIANS: The House narrowly passed H.R. 1, “For the People Act of 2021.” This misnamed abomination is a naked power grab by Democrats that would make federal control of elections the norm.

Here’s what Democrats in the House just voted to do:

  • Legalize ballot harvesting
  • Eliminate state voter ID laws
  • Empower the federal government to draw district lines for the states
  • Allow convicted felons to vote the minute they are released from prison
  • Expand mail-in voting
  • Standardize same-day voter registration
  • Force the disclosure of names of all citizens who donate to non-profit organizations

The bill now goes to the Senate, where the 50-50 party split means anything could happen. In the meantime, twenty Republican state attorneys general have sent a letter to congressional leaders stating that H.R. 1 violates the Elections Clause of Article I of the Constitution and the Electors Clause of Article II.

Every Republican and one Democrat – Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) voted against this vicious attack on election integrity and voter confidence. Thompson said, “My constituents opposed the redistricting portion of the bill as well as the section on public finances. I always listen and vote in the interest of my constituents.

MASKS: On Thursday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey [R] caved to pressure from Democrats and President Joe Biden to extend the statewide coronavirus mask mandate for five more weeks.

Both Texas and Mississippi have dropped their state-wide mask mandates, something which FAUXTUS said represented “Neanderthal thinking.

MISSISSIPPI: Sixty-six of the 84 absentee ballots cast in a June Democratic runoff election in Aberdeen should have never been counted. The election was split by a mere 37 votes, so a Mississippi judge has ordered a new election. One person (photo) has been arrested and three others may follow.

NOMINEES: FAUXTUS’ nominee for director of the Office of Management and Budget has withdrawn herself after massive criticism for having tried to force the Catholic nuns at the Little Sisters of the Poor to fund abortions.

FAUXTUS’ nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services is stuck in committee. Xavier Becerra, who also targeted the Little Sisters, received a 14-14 party-line vote from the Senate Finance Committee.

SEUSS: Tucker makes an interesting point about the lunacy of Leftists’ banning Dr. Seuss [6:47] – Ted Geisel was a liberal Democrat and a supporter of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal.

His books express his views on a remarkable variety of social and political issues: The Lorax (1971), about environmentalism and anti-consumerism; The Sneetches (1961), about racial equality; The Butter Battle Book (1984), about the arms race; Yertle the Turtle (1958), about Adolf Hitler and anti-authoritarianism; How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957), criticizing the materialism and consumerism of the Christmas season; and Horton Hears a Who! (1954), about anti-isolationism and internationalism.

SPACEX: Elon Musk’s SpaceX recently launched and landed a third Starship test vehicle, the SN10, but shortly after returning to the ground the ship exploded into a fireball. Musk claims the starship will be safe for human transport by 2023.

TWITTER: After LifeSiteNews reported on Israeli Health Ministry data that was unfavorable to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, Twitter deleted the tweet and imposed 12-hour suspension on the account.

The report, linked below, argued that the mRNA experimental vaccine from Pfizer has killed “about 40 times more (elderly) people than the disease itself would have killed” during a recent five-week vaccination period.

VACCINE: A new poll shows that 41 percent of voters are not willing to get a coronavirus vaccine due largely to concerns about negative side effects.

Between Dec. 14, 2020 and Feb. 18, 2021, the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has recorded 19,907 adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination.

These included 1,095 deaths and 3,767 serious injuries. About a third of the deaths reported occurred within 48 hours of vaccination; 56% received the Pfizer vaccine, and 43% got the Moderna vaccine.

By comparison, during the same time period — Dec. 14, 2020 – Feb. 18, 2021 — VAERS received reports of 83 deaths following flu vaccinations.

In Illinois, a healthy 28-year-old health care worker got headaches and a rash after her first shot of the Pfizer vaccine; after the second shot, she went into a coma and died. The chance of surviving the coronavirus itself was more than 99.98%, even without early treatment.

In addition, 34 pregnant women who submitted to vaccination suffered either spontaneous miscarriages or stillbirths. Twenty-five of the miscarriages occurred during the first trimester, when 80% of all miscarriages occur. But four of the stillbirths occurred in either the second (weeks 13–27) or third trimester (weeks 28–40).

YOUTUBE: The linked copy of the speech is still posted as I write this. By the time you look for it, it may be gone. The one the New York Post put up is gone. [1:35:44] – YouTube has suspended accounts and removed copies of President Donald Trump’s Feb. 28 CPAC speech, citing its policy on “election misinformation.” Translation: Thou shalt not mention the distinct possibility that FAUXTUS did not actually win.

There is a transcript of the speech at the Rev.com link below.

CATHOLIC:Pope Francis says Noah’s flood “is a figure of God’s wrath, who according to the Bible has seen too many bad things and decides to obliterate humanity.

He goes on to warn that it could happen again if humanity doesn’t buckle down and get serious about climate change. ”A great flood, perhaps due to a rise in temperature and the melting of the glaciers, is what will happen now if we continue along the same path.”

Wait, wut? Does he not remember that one of the very first promises God made to humanity was that he would never flood the Earth again?

Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the Earth.” And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the Earth.” (Genesis 9:11-13).

DC: Members of the National Guard troops still posted within the Capitol perimeter have reported being served moldy or under-cooked food, including meat that was raw in the middle. Some soldiers even found metal shavings in their food. About fifty soldiers have needed to go to the hospital for GI complaints.

DENMARK: This small Scandinavian nation has become the first in Europe to decide that Syria is safe enough for their hundreds of Syrian refugees to return home. They are being stripped of their visas and will be sent to deportation camps.

Last month, Denmark’s immigration minister said the country had been “open and honest from the start” with these refugees. “We have made it clear to the Syrian refugees that their residence permit is temporary.”

LIBERAL RACISM: The Tucker Carlson video is from July 2019. It’s worth watching. [5:19] – Civil Rights icon Bob Woodson recently said he prefers old-fashioned bigots to “guilty white people” who patronize him by saying they’re “sorry for being white.”

The founder of the Woodson Center says, “It’s insulting. In fact, I was telling some people I prefer the old-fashioned bigot than somebody who patronizes me and tells me they’re sorry for being white. … I find them disgusting. To me, it’s liberal racism.”

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE: During a virtual conversation with Mexico’s President López Obrador, FAUXTUS claimed to have a devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe and displayed his rosary beads.

The Chairman of the USCCB’s pro-life committee has said people should stop calling FAUXTUS a “devout Catholic” because of his support for abortion.

During the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – Matt 7:21

PORK: Senate Republican leaders on Tuesday vowed to fight President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill, calling it “wasteful.” First up, axing a $140 million rail project that would only benefit Nancy Pelosi’s district.

PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY: GracePointe Church in Nashville is teaching, “As Progressive Christians, we’re open to the tensions and inconsistencies in the Bible. We know that it can’t live up to impossible, modern standards. We strive to more clearly articulate what Scripture is and isn’t.

The Bible isn’t: the Word of God, self-interpreting, a science book, an answer/rule book, inerrant or infallible. … The Bible is: a product of community, a library of texts, multi-vocal, a human response to God, living and dynamic.

I don’t understand why people even bother going to a church like this. Why get up early on Sunday to go hear Democrat Talking Points while sitting on a hard pew, followed by bad coffee and stale donuts, when you can sleep in and enjoy a relaxing morning on your own couch, reading all the same stuff in the Sunday Times, while drinking really good coffee and fresh, gourmet pastries?

RAINBOWS: There is an often missed, but very important difference between the LGBTQ+ rainbow and God’s rainbow.

LGBTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (or sometimes questioning), and Others (such as pansexual and Two-Spirit). These are all disordered expressions of the sexuality God intends for his children.

The LGBTQ+ rainbow has SIX colors – Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet. In the Bible, the number 6 symbolizes man, the evils of Satan, and the manifestation of sin. Man was created on the sixth day. Three sixes is the mark of the Beast of Revelation.

The rainbow God set in the sky to remind us of His promise to never flood the Earth again (Genesis 9:11-13) has SEVEN colors – Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet. In the Bible, the number 7 symbolizes completeness and perfection. God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days, then He rested on the seventh. Seven is three (Holy Trinity of God) plus four (His creation, which He completed on the fourth day, often symbolized in fours such as Air-Earth-Fire-Water and North-East-South-West).

SEUSS: They canceled your feelings.
They canceled your thoughts.
They canceled Dr Seuss,
The books that you bought.

They’ll cancel your culture
And history they said.
They’ll even cancel
Mister Potato Head.

They’ll cancel your church
And the shows that you watch.
They’ll cancel your voice.
Your opinions they’ll squash.

BOSTON: A program for advanced fourth, fifth and sixth graders in Boston was suspended because they are 70% White and Asian. Boston Public Schools are 80% Black.

Hmm … maybe instead of punishing White and Asian kids who study hard and do their homework, they should do something about changing the corrupt Black culture that disrespects academic achievement.

COVID-19:For 100 years almost, since we’ve been developing immunity capability, people have always known if you survive smallpox, you don’t get it again. You get chickenpox, you don’t get it again. You get a vaccine; you stop worrying about polio, etc. For the first time ever, here is a series of vaccines, safe and effective, 95 plus percent effective, and what’s happening? They’re telling us to leave our masks on, to continue social distancing. That’s absurd.” – Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)

GOVERNOR NIPPLE RINGS: Top donors have put away their checkbooks in the wake of Andrew’s nursing home scandal, his attempt to cover it up, and now the allegations of on-going sexual harassment and abuse.

Unless he comes forward and faces it completely and openly and honestly, he doesn’t deserve a fourth term, even though I like him immensely,” said businessman Bernard Schwartz who has donated $70,000 to Cuomo over the last two years.

HYATT HOTELS: When left-wing activists tried to pressure the hotel chain for hosting CPAC, Hyatt told them to take a hike.

We take pride in operating a highly inclusive environment and we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element of what we do as a hospitality company.”

ILLITERATES: President Biden removed mentions of Dr. Seuss from Read Across America Day amid accusations of “racial undertones” in the classic, whimsical tales for children. Huh? Did they NOT get the “racism is bad” messages that are IN those stories?! Morons.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: New Yorkers learned about Cuomo’s COVID-19 nursing home scandal in April 2020. Throughout the next eight months, the Slime Stream Media would devote all of 51 seconds to the subject.

During the first two months of 2021, as the depths of Cuomo’s duplicity have become apparent, those same newscasts have delivered a scant 10 minutes, 56 seconds. By contrast, they obsessed about Sen. Ted Cruz’s trip to Cancun for 8 minutes, 51 seconds over the course of just four days.

MISS USA: A U.S. District Judge has ruled that the Miss United States of America competition can’t be forced to let transgender women participate in its pageants. He wrote that the organization’s state mission is to promote “natural-born” females and, as such cannot under the Constitution, be required to change its rules.

TEXAS: On Tuesday, Governor Abbot ended his statewide mask mandate and said all businesses in the state can fully reopen.

With the medical advancements of vaccines and antibody therapeutic drugs, Texas now has the tools to protect Texans from the virus.”

YAY!! It looks like it won’t be an issue for Dearest to fly down for our grandson’s First Holy Communion. 🙂

TOP GUN: [2:45] – LEGO has produced a shot-for-shot remake of this classic film. Top Gun: Maverick” is currently scheduled for a July 2, 2021, theatrical release. Maybe it seems stupid, cuz why not just watch the original, right? Well, two reasons for me. One, Tom Cruise’s messy personal life and over-the-top support for Scientology makes it hard for me to watch his movies. Two, it’s LEGO!

VACCINE: The newly-approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine for COVID-19 was developed with the extensive use of abortion-derived cell lines. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were only tested on these cells, making them less morally compromised.

Canada Sucks

Last December, the region of Peel, in Ontario, Canada, issued a directive commanding that minors who are exposed to COVID-19 must self-isolate for 14 days. The directive applied to children as young as three, who were expected to stay in a separate bedroom, eat in a separate room apart from others, and use a separate bathroom. There was a $5,000 fine for non-compliance.

Dr. Susan Richardson, a microbiologist and infectious disease physician, said the directive was not only “cruel punishment” that could “produce significant and long-lasting emotional and psychological effects”, but also not supported by the science.

An asymptomatic child in a classroom with one child testing positive is at very low risk for acquiring infection. Most importantly, we are losing sight of the fact that if he/she should contract COVID while quarantining at home, they and their siblings are at an extremely low risk of suffering severe disease as a consequence.

Dr. Martha Fulford, an infectious diseases physician at Hamilton Health Science who focuses on pediatrics called the directives “shocking.”

I don’t understand how any health-care professional has moved so far away from the fundamentals of public health and of doing no harm that they would think that basically incarcerating a child in a room for 14 days is in any way justified,” she said.

Unsurprisingly, Peel area parents were outraged. The blow back forced the Region of Peel to tweeted this morning, however, that it had made a “mistake” in the flyer and was “sorry.” They supposedly didn’t mean the child had to totally self-isolate. It was just a mistake they made on the flyer. The website states that a “caregiver may need to isolate with the child if they require support with daily living, such as bathing, feeding, and clothing. If you’re caring for a child, it’s important to follow precautions to protect yourself and others in the home.”

These directives, which apparently are still in place, cuz it was only the FLYER that had a “mistake”, fail to take into account statistical research that shows that children, teens, and young adults “do not have a high-risk for significant negative medical outcomes, including fatality” from COVID-19 infection. Never mind the fascist jackbootiness of a $5,000 fine.

Parents were underwhelmed by the “apology” and “correction”: “You mean to tell me we are to believe that if we didn’t catch you doing this crap & retweeted it constantly you wouldn’t have noticed it? Please …you just got caught. Zero credibility & we are now done with your ‘recommendations.’” [Twitter]

I hope none of them get caught doing something as outrageous as taking their kids outdoors during their 14-day quarantine. (Never mind that most everyone catches it during prolonged exposure indoors, or that the sun and exercise are great immune boosters.) Some Canadian bureau-butt-head fine a family many thousands of dollars for showing up at the border two hours after their COVID-19 tests expired … because they’d had car trouble. When they beefed, they were told the government had decided to make an example of them.

FYI: Please note that the prayer does not include members of our newest corps – Space Force – who are known as Guardians. This name was chosen after the Space Force crowdsourced suggestions. Among these that didn’t make the cut were: Wookies. Homo Spaciens, The Anti-Gravity Gang, Rocketmen, Floaty Bois, Starmen, Rangers, Gladiators, Cadets, Trekkies, Luminaires, STARgeants and “Nothing, because you wouldn’t hear it in space anyway.”

CARBON EMISSIONS: The Paris Climate Accord is a joke. Trump pulled us out of it and we reduced our emissions more than any other developed country in the world. Meanwhile, 89% of the increase in greenhouse gases came from two countries who had signed the agreement – China, which alone accounted for 69% of the increase, and India.

ELITISM: Matt Meyer, president of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, has fought to keep Berkeley schools for as long as possible because of the alleged COVID dangers of in-person learning. His two-year-old daughter attends an in-person preschool.

EUGENICS: [2:41] – In California, more than 1,000 female prisoners have been sterilized without their consent. Most of them are Black. The excuse given? It’s cheaper than welfare.

IMMIGRATION: FAUXTUS got a lot of flack over his new “not cages for kids”, so Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has instructed ICE to “purchase airplane tickets and cover other transportation costs for minors whose relatives are already living in the United States.” (And never you mind if those relatives are themselves illegal, you racist.)

LESS WHITE: After Coca-Cola got blasted for requiring employees to complete a racial sensitivity seminar that encouraged its participants to “be less white” and “less oppressive”, LinkedIn announced it will no longer host the seminar.

MAGA: Democrats still haven’t figured out that the best way to oppose Trump is to abandon their extremism. A big part of the Trump’s popularity is the insanity on the Left. – Catholic Vote

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: The note speaks for itself.

RELIGION: Churches that pander to this mentality have empty pews. What’s the point of getting up early on the weekend to sit on a hard pew, say nonsense words, and then drink bad coffee and stale donuts, when you can celebrate yourself by sleeping late, then enjoying the Sunday Times, excellent coffee, and fresh pastry from the comfort of your soft couch?

SCIENCE: Democrats constantly say they follow the science, while Republicans are a bunch of flat earthers. FAUXTUS’ transgender Assistant Secretary for Health is the perfect example of why that is a Big Fat Lie.

Richard “Rachel” Levine was graduated from Harvard College and the Tulane University School of Medicine.

  • 1988 – 1993: Pediatrics fellowship, New York City’s Mount Sinai Hospital.
  • 1993 – 2015: On staff at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Created the facility’s adolescent medicine division and eating disorders clinic.
  • ? – 2021: Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine.
  • 2011: “Transitioned” to identifying female and changed name to Rachel.
  • 2013: Divorced wife. They have two children.
  • 2015 – 2017 : Pennsylvania Physician General.
  • 2017 – 2021: Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
  • 2020: While managing Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 response, Levine was heavily criticized for requiring nursing homes in Pennsylvania to readmit residents testing positive for COVID-19 after they were declared healthy enough to leave the hospital. She simultaneously removed her mother from a facility that came under her edict and put her into one that did not. She claimed her mother made the decision.
  • 2020: Appointed president of ASTHO (Assoc. of State and Territorial Health Officials)
  • 2021: Nominated to the position of Assistant Secretary for Health and confirmed by the Senate, despite sharp criticism from fellow physician, Sen. Rand Paul, for promoting puberty blockers and surgical genital mutilation for adolescents. Not only do these chemicals and surgeries cause permanent damage, but also research shows that the majority of adolescents with gender issues outgrow them.

So this specialist in adolescent medicine – who apparently has no trouble identifying an eating disorder as something that needs to be fixed, not pandered to – has fully embraced the scientifically absurd position that some people are born (reincarnated) into the “wrong gender body.” That is not science. It’s religion.

BETTE MIDLER: It’s sad how hateful and ignorant this woman is. All the people inside those white hoods were DEMOCRATS. Her nasty tweets have made it impossible for me to watch her movies.

BIG BROTHER: Two California Democrats – Rep. Anna Eshoo and Rep. Jerry McNerney – sent a letter to a dozen different cable companies asking, “Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN? If so, why?

The letter was followed up with a House subcommittee hearing on how to weed out what Democrats call “disinformation and extremism” in the media, which Democrats consider “a tangible and destabilizing threat.

CREATED EQUAL: Despite making a significant effort to celebrate black voices, Amazon Prime abruptly decided to stop streaming “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words”, a popular documentary about our only sitting black Supreme Court justice. Payback for his dissent on the election fraud cases?

DAN BONGINO: CPAC speech [14:59] – We’re not vanquished until we agree we are. So don’t agree. Dan makes one of the same points Kristi Noem does, which is that WORDS and ACTIONS both matter. Listening to Dan’s speech I’m thinking, yes, I’ll keep fighting.

But not because I think we can win or save America, because I believe we have already passed the point of no return, particularly with the national debt. However, I will definitely keep fighting, because there isn’t a doubt in my mind that the Left is serving Satan and that the consequence of following him is eternal damnation. So, I will keep saying and doing all I can to promote conservative values, because I hope I might help save a soul.

KRISTI NOEM: CPAC speech [25:52] – This is awesome and well worth your time. Watch it to the end. You may need a tissue.

The Warning

Over the past five centuries, an End Times event has been prophesied repeatedly by Catholic visionaries. The event is called The Warning or The Illumination of Conscience, a time when God will reveal Himself to everyone on Earth and reveal to each one how He sees them.

It will last a very short time, but its effects on the world will be huge.

For some, the truth will be devastating, even lethal (due to the shock). Some will harden in their sins and reject God forever, while others will see it as a sign of hope for the world and will turn from their sins and beg for God’s mercy.

For those who are prepared, the event will be joyful, for those who truly love the Lord can only be happy to see where they can improve to be more like His perfect vision for them.

Here are some of the prophesies:

I pronounce a great day, not where, in any temporal potentate should minister, but where in, the Terrible Judge, should reveal all men’s consciences and try every man of each kind of religion. This is the day of change.” – St. Edmond Campion (1540–1581)

A great purification will come upon the world, preceded by an Illumination of conscience in which everyone will see themselves as God sees them.” – Blessed Anna Maria Taigi (1769–1837)

Once I was summoned to the judgment (seat) of God. I stood alone before the Lord. Jesus appeared such, as we know Him during His Passion. After a moment, His wounds disappeared, except for five, those in His hands, His feet, and His side. Suddenly I saw the complete condition of my soul as God sees it. I could clearly see all that is displeasing to God. I did not know, that even the smallest transgressions, will have to be accounted for.” – St. Faustina Kowalska (1930s)

The Warning will be “like a punishment, for the just and the wicked alike. For the just, to bring them closer to God and for the wicked, to announce to them, that time is running out.” – The Blessed Mother to the seers at Garabandal, Spain (1960s)

The maturity of conscience, most difficult to evaluate today, is the discernment between evil and good. Humanity has performed so many evil deeds that its conscience is now darkened by sin. We will need a terrible warning, and many will refuse to listen—a terrible warning. Most people will not heed it, but it will be essential to replace the moral order. Many have lived using their freedom for every kind of pleasure, and they are under the gaze of our God; but this judgment will be direct—at the same time, with His tenderness—and they will be forced to recognize their sin and to separate their sin from their goodness. This time, the sins of the world will be revealed.” – Saint Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)

It is a Warning. It has to be seen… this has to shake us up, so the world will start thinking… but to prove there is a God… the first Warning will be self-explanatory.” – The Blessed Mother to the seers at Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzgovina (1981)

The day is coming when mankind will have a great chance to repent. God will show a great sign and mankind will have no explanation.” – The Blessed Mother to Pedro Regis in Anguera, Brazil (1987)

N.b., Some prophesies cited in documents about The Warning are from people whose visions/locutions either have not been approved or have actually been condemned by the Roman Catholic Church. These include (but are not be limited to) Nancy Conyers, Father Stefano Gobbi, Sadie Jaramillo. Jesus warned us about false prophets; I recommend caution when reading such material.
