ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE: My beloved, may every fall, even if it is serious and habitual sin, always become for us a small step toward a higher degree of perfection. In fact, the only reason why the Immaculate permits us to fall is to cure us from our self-conceit, from our pride, to make us humble and thus make us docile to the divine graces.

“The devil, instead, tries to inject in us discouragement and internal depression in those circumstances, which is, in fact, nothing else than our pride surfacing again. If we knew the depth of our poverty, we would not be at all surprised by our falls, but rather astonished, and we would thank God, after sinning, for not allowing us to fall even deeper and still more frequently.

Fred and Mary Trump had five children — Maryanne, Fred Jr., Elizabeth, Donald, and Robert.

THE LAST LAUGH: Watch this one!! [2:47] – CNN didn’t give a flying finger about an adult Black man shooting a 5-year-old White boy in the head.

They were too busy damning Tucker to Hell for pronouncing the first name of Joe Biden’s running mate the exact same way that Joe Biden pronounces it.

It’s pronounced comma, not semicolon, lah.” ROFL!

2020_08 16 criticism

LIBERAL LOGIC 102: Democrats call themselves the party of tolerance, but hurl racist and sexist slurs at Republicans like “The Coon Bunch”, “self hating porch monkey,” and “c***.”

2020_08 16 liberals see blacks

BLACK VOTERS: In 2012, Romney got 4% of the Black vote. In 2016, Trump got 8%.

But the latest polls show support for Trump among Black voters is at an astounding 36%. That’s more than a third of Black Voters.

And they are not only very VOCAL, but they’ve got the FACTS and DATA on their side, which means that any member of the 2/3 who will listen can be quickly converted.

I see it all the time on WalkAway and BLEXIT.

Back the Blue

2020_08 15 back the blue

From an Austin Police Officer in response to the defunding of the department:

Dear Community,

We have served with the best of our ability for many years. We have missed anniversaries, birthdays, funerals, sports, and many other things so we could be there for you. When you called, we came. When you were being victimized, we stepped in and stopped it. When you were on your last breath, we gave you another and another. As many as it took to keep you alive. We held your child and loved on them when they were scared. We comforted you when your loved ones passed. We put our lives in harms way when the wolf came for you. When you ran from gunfire, we ran towards it. When you sat trapped in your car, we held your hand until the rescue crew could cut you out. We bought you lunch when others walked by and did nothing. We brought justice to your family when someone was taken from you. We gave you a voice when you had none. We stepped in when you couldn’t protect yourself. We saved your sons, daughters, husbands, aunts, brothers, and sisters.

The day came when we needed your help, but you never showed. When we asked you to stand up and give us a voice, you remained silent. When we were at our lowest, you offered no help. When we were being attacked, you watched from afar. When the time came for you to fight for us, you stayed home and kept silent. (To those who didn’t, thank you.)

The Austin Police Department has been almost completely defunded. There is barely enough to pay for our salary, medical care, and retirement. Now, when the wolf puts a bomb at your doorstep, we won’t be there. When a drunk driver kills your family member, we won’t be there. When your family member is drowning at the lake, we won’t be there. When someone crashes into your car, we won’t be there. When gangs take over your neighborhood, we won’t be there. When you’re assaulted on one of the many trails, we won’t be there. When your child is lost, we won’t be there to find them.

We won’t be there because your Austin City Council has shut down almost every unit needed to keep you safe and be there for you. They took everything from you while you sat in silence. They did it for their own personal gain and agenda. They won’t be there for you and made sure we couldn’t either.

Your Guardian,

An Austin Police Officer

THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION: August 15th – “The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.” [Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus 44].

COVID-19: A new CDC survey found that more than four in 10 Americans are struggling with mental health issues due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A shocking statistic: 25.5% of young people from 18 to 24 reported that they had considered suicide in the previous 30 days.

2020_08 15 Peace deal

TRUMP: President Trump has brokered a historic deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to the fully normalize relations between the Jewish and Arab nations. First up will be a joint effort to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. The nations will also open mutual embassies.

While other Middle East countries, like Bahrain and Oman, are also considering full diplomatic relations with Israel, Palestinians (including Rep. Tlaib) were incensed at the idea of any Muslim nation considering peace with Israel.

2020_08 13 murder

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: On Sunday, Cannon Hinnant (5) was riding his bike in front of his home when Darius Sessoms (25) ran up to him, put a gun to his head and executed him in front of his two sisters.

Sessoms has been taken into custody and charged with first degree murder. According to neighbors, he lives next door to the victim’s family. They had dinner together on Friday.

If the skin colors were reversed, the Left would be screaming about this 24/7.

But since it doesn’t fit the Left’s narrative, they’re ignoring it.

Media Malpractice

2020_08 12 Clinton Kaine

Recent highlights in blatant stupidity spewed by the Slime Stream Media.

The New York Times’s columnist Maureen Dowd published, “It’s hard to fathom, but it has been 36 years since a man and a woman ran together on a Democratic Party ticket.” Uhh, no.

The column has been corrected.

The New York Times’ cybersecurity reporter, Nicole Perlroth, tweeted that Russia’s disinformation campaign to “suppress black turnout” in 2016 “worked.” In fact, the 2016 election saw some of the highest black turnout of any presidential election in the last 50-plus years.

The tweet has been deleted.

Washington Post’s national politics reporter, Colby Itkowitz, tweeted that former President Barack Obama never circumvented Congress to enact by fiat his legislative agenda.

Obama, who famously bragged that he didn’t need Congress, because he had “pen and phone,” repeatedly attempted to enact his agenda by legislative fiat.

The New York Times published a news report early Monday saying, “Overall, serious crime in New York City has not jumped this year, but murders and shootings have: The city is on pace to to [sic] surpass 800 shootings for the first time in three years.”

How does the New York Times define “serious crime” if not shootings and murders?

The Washington Post published a grotesque, glossy photo essay praising Portland rioters that was titled “Trump sent agents to quell unrest. But protest is what Portland does best.”

Setting fires, shooting off mortars, attempting to blind law officers is “what Portland does best”?

The Fake Black American

2020_08 12 biden harris

The following is mostly excerpted from an article at American Thinker by Andrea Widburg with some editing and embellishments by CtH. If you want to see the original, feel free. The link is below.

What’s most striking about Kamala is that, like Barack Obama, she has nothing in common with the American black experience. She did not come from a family that has traveled through generations of the American black experience. There’s no history of Southern slavery, no Reconstruction, and no being part of the endless variety of post-Reconstruction stories.

Some blacks struggled through the Jim Crow South, some reveled in the Harlem Renaissance, some roped cows in the Wild West, some were part of the single biggest American migration when they moved to the upper Midwest, some embraced the middle class, and some got sucked into the undertow of the underclass. Each is an American story.

Kamala’s bio, by contrast, is that of a first-generation immigrant and child of very educated parents. Her mother is a high-caste East Indian breast cancer scientist, while her father is a Jamaican-born economist who is an emeritus professor at Stanford. She grew up in liberal enclaves that were anything but racist and got a first class education.

All she’s really got to offer is her skin tone, her lady parts, and her generic hard-left résumé.

Otherwise, she’s impressively unimpressive. Her affect is flat and her personality is naggy, aggressive and snide. And her personal history stinks.

She did horribly in the primaries, because even the base couldn’t like her. But now she’s going to carry the ticket to victory?!

CLICK [:38] to hear Harris laugh snidely and say, “Yes, we can” when asked if a president can execute illegal orders.

2020_08 12 sweden deaths

COVID-19: I’m not condemning Trump or any other government that went with a shutdown. Initial findings did make it look like COVID-19 might be even worse than the 1918 flu. Turns out, that wasn’t true, but who could’ve known?

Still, when the pandemic struck, Sweden chose to continue life as normally as possible, while instituting mostly voluntary social distancing. The only exception was a ban on gatherings of more than 50 people.

The Swedish government said from the start that the fight would be a marathon, not a sprint, and that many people would die, but that continuing with a mostly normal life would get the country to herd immunity relatively quickly while maintaining economic stability.

And it turns out, Sweden had it right. After months of condemnations by the world community for not shutting down, Sweden’s coronavirus death rate is nearly zero.

2020_08 12 MASKS abortion

2020: Vote Republican in November – Now that we know that the Swedes called it, there is nothing but fear-mongering to support Democrats’ continuing with shelter in place, mandatory masks, closed schools, threats of mass vaccinations, etc.

None.

LOVE TRUMPS HATE: In August 2019, a Black Democrat and a White Republican visited the two sides of the street outside a Trump rally in Cincinnati, Ohio to see how Trump’s supporters and the Anti-Trump protesters would react to them.

The results were remarkable, though not at all surprising to any of us who have been paying attention.

If you have time, the full, raw, and unscripted video is worth watching @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOFKTewi63U.

At the very least, CLICK [:50] to view a 50 second version of the 44 minute video.

Democrats might have a teensy weensy bit more credibility if they agreed with Trump on occasion.
