S&G: On the other hand, by the standards of Woke Culture, a person who suffer from ranidaphobia is a member of a tiny minority of the population with Special Needs and, by that token, needs to be deferred to by having all frogs and toads – living, graphic, costumed, and imaginary – removed. In fact, don’t even SAY the words!

SCOTUS: In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS has struck down the Biden-Harris administration’s rewrite of Title IX, which would have compelled states to allow men into women’s sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, and dorms.

WALZ: As Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz spent almost $2 billion in federal coronavirus relief funds without the approval of the state legislature. Some of the money went to one organization that provides abortion doulas (women who accompany other women through abortion procedures) and another “queer, trans, disabled, BIPOC lead organization” that drives women to and from abortions, trains abortion doulas, and offers resources on “chest and breast feeding.

CASTING CALLS: Remember back in 2021 when VP Harris did this whacky chat about space with a bunch of kids? CLICK https://x.com/perma___ben/status/1446941618259570692 if not. The NY Post reported that the five youngsters in the video were child actors who auditioned for their roles.

INFLATION: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IRBfbfRgcEQ to hear Kamala tell us what she’s going to do to fix the problem she helped create.

HEALTH CARE: Kamala is claiming that now she opposes nationalized health care. [10:22] – You CAN’T trust what politicians say during a campaign. You must look at their past voting record. Remember McCain? He campaigned on eliminating Obamacare. He got re-elected, then cast the deciding vote to kill off Trump’s effort to get rid of Obamacare. As soon as the Dems won the vote, McCain and Schumer high fived each other. The next day, Obama called McCain to thank him. He claimed it was because it was a bad bill that would not have accomplished what it was supposed to.

Personally, I think the Dems have had the dirt on McCain’s traitorous actions when he was a Vietnamese POW and he couldn’t bear to have his legacy tarnished, even knowing he was going to die soon from his brain tumor. I often wonder if he didn’t believe in God or judgment or Hell. I’m guessing he’s discovered the hard way that his so-called legacy was not worth eternal damnation.

Kindness of Strangers

Today I was asked if I am any good with phones by an elderly man as he was trying to open a picture message that his granddaughter had sent.

After putting Sienna in her pram, I took a look at his phone which was a really old Nokia. As he didn’t have a smart phone, I told him that he wouldn’t be able to view it.

He was gutted and went on to tell me that it was a photo of his granddaughter and her new baby who he hadn’t seen yet as they live in Buxton.

So I forwarded the message to my phone and eventually managed to open the picture.

He was so emotional seeing his great granddaughter for the first time and you could see his love for them both through his teary eyes.

The man insisted on giving me £20 to treat my daughter to a toy as a thank you for helping him which I insisted I didn’t want, but he was having none of it.

So I asked him to wait there and I went to boots and printed the photo for him and ended up buying a frame for it too.

When I returned with the framed photo, he was so happy, literally overwhelmed.

This just made my day to make someone so happy. ❤️ (via Serena Mansey)

The Feast of the Assumption of Mary

Today is the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. It’s also the fourth decade in the Glorious Mysteries and a particular favorite of mine.

To my way of thinking (NOT Catholic doctrine!!), Jesus’ Resurrection is our model for what will happen when the dead rise, while Mary’s Assumption is our model for what will happen when those who are alive in Christ get caught up to be with Him (aka, the Rapture).

I’ve heard Catholics claim that “we” don’t believe in the Rapture, but the RCC actually has no teaching on the Rapture. Personally, I don’t see any other explanation for the following:

And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.” Matt 24:30-31

N.b., He will appear in heaven and the angels will gather the elect only.

A bit later, He taught, “at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left.” ~Matt 24:39-41

N.b., only the elect will be taken.

Some say this is the Final Judgment, but of that He said, “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.” Matt 25:31-33

N.b., He will appear on his throne with everyone gathered before him, then He will separate the sheep (elect) from the goats (damned).

BTW, as for the question of whether Mary died before she was Assumed, body and soul into Heaven –In the Middle East, the roofs of the houses are flat and used as porches. On hot nights, everyone sleeps up there where it’s cooler. I think at least one person woke up and saw Mary be taken up, but no one had any reason to know if her earthly body had died first. But, she told the seers at Medjugorje that she never died.

N.b., in the Eastern church, they celebrate what they call the Dormition of Mary. Dormition means sleep.

It was my third Covid-19 infection, and I had been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times.” Dearest and I never got the jab … or the ‘rona.

GOOGLE: Google has admitted that their search engine refused to pull up news accounts re: Trump’s assassination attempt. They said it was due to an anti-violence algorithim that nobody thought to update. “We do not allow predictions that can be interpreted as accusations against individuals or groups of serious malevolent acts, where there is a lack of well-established or expert supporting evidence.

FRAUD: Kamala Harris used the photo above in an ad about how she is supposedly all about controlling our borders.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TxQKE6dzqdQ to hear the guy I circled in red talk about how phony the image is and how disgusted he is about having his image used. FYI: If you want to see the ad, it is embedded in the MSN article linked below.

PENNSYLVANIA: Back in 2011, first-grade teacher Ellen Greenberg (27) was found in her apartment with 20 stab wounds. Ten of them were to the back of her neck. The coroner initially ruled her death a homicide, but was pressured into changing it to suicide. Her family has finally gotten the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to look at whether they have standing to challenge the coroner’s ruling.

Why does this matter? Because then-Attorney General Josh Shapiro handled the case. Shapiro, who is now Pennsylvania’s governor, has family history with both Goldberg’s family and with the Bidens. See the Not The Bee link below for the receipts … and a link to another unlikely “suicide” of someone who had dirt on the Clintons.

More on the Musk-Trump chat

Go to https://notthebee.com/article/elons-conversation-with-trump-has-already-surpassed-1-billion-views if you want to see short highlight clips from the two hour chat.

It must be driving the Lefties nuts that two of their own (white billionaires) have gone so far off the plantation that they actually provide not one, but two social media platforms that not only are not censoring Trump, but also are being listened to by prime demographics!

Dem’s response?

Plan A) Try to stop it from happening. CLICK https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1823126481158947026 [1:19] to see a WaPo White House reporter ask KJP if the White House can squash the chat.

Plan B) When A fails, “inform” readers that they don’t need to listen and make up their own minds, because it just proved Elon and Trump are both terrible people.

CNN deceptively edited out the context of a conversation on nuclear energy to make it seem like the two men were making light of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1823413580038857108 [:40]. CLICK https://x.com/itsNTBmedia/status/1823431827496816641 [2:18] to hear what they were saying before the CNN edit.

USA Today reported on the chat like this: “Trump rambles, slurs his way through Elon Musk interview. It was an unmitigated disaster. For a fascism-curious billionaire who loves cuddling up to right-wing loons, Elon Musk sure is good at making right-wing politicians look stupid.”

The Guardian reported: “The Musk-Trump X interview: a surprisingly dull meeting of two planet-sized egos

Politico reported: “Elon Musk promised an entertaining Trump interview on X Live. Instead, we got more technical difficulties. Trump’s interview started about 45 minutes late after the platform glitched for the second time this election cycle.”

Elon and Donald chat

CLICK https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1823218454369124491 [2:00:15] to listen to the famous Elon and Donald chat. I’ve been listening to it off and on, still have a ways to go. But I had some thoughts.

Musk claimed the combined views over multiple platforms hit 1 billion. Even if Musk exaggerated the numbers ten-fold, at least 100 million people listened to this unscripted chat. That is far more than half the 161.42 million registered voters! And they all know how bad the Biden-Harris economy is!

I did an internet search and got the following (links below). It’s interesting to see how lockstep they are with their “unbiased” reporting.

  1. New York Times – Musk’s Trump Talk: After Glitchy Start, a Two-Hour Ramble
  2. Business Insider – Elon Musk and Donald Trump Sat Down for a Rambling Conversation on X
  3. Reuters – Rambling Trump, Musk interview marred by tech issues
  4. AP – Musk’s interview with Trump marred by technical glitches
  5. CNN – Fact Check: Trump Musk 20 False Claims
  6. The Atlantic – Falsely Claimed that 60 million people were listening
  7. TIME – Once the interview ended, Harris’ campaign responded with a statement saying, “Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself—self-obsessed rich guys who will …
  8. BBC – Donald Trump made a number of questionable and false claims – which went largely unchallenged.
  9. NPR – Interview light on news amid technical issues
  10. CBS – Musk, the world’s richest man, according to Forbes, claimed without evidence that X had experienced a cyber “attack.”

BORDER: Never Forget! Biden and Harris threw our borders wide open and let in a veritable invasion force of illegal aliens, many of whom are the dregs of other country’s populations. And, thanks to Dem-backed “Defund the Police” and Soros-backed far-left District Attorneys, these criminals, sickos, and wannabe terrorists are free to terrorize law-abiding, American citizens. Personally, I think it’s all part of a larger plot to nationalize policing, but that’s another story.

EVs: Got this in a group text from a family friend – “Prayers please … I hate this electric rental car. On the phone with Avis. Probably driving 2 hours out of the way to ___ airport to switch. None of their reported charging stations they listed are in working order or accessible. Will be late arriving ___ tonight. Slightly freaking out.” Response from dd – “We had the same issue. Hubby hated it. I can promised you we won’t be buying a EV car anytime soon.” Thankfully, our friends arrived at the airport before their charge ran out and Avis swapped them at no charge. (Ha ha, no charge. Get it? ::groan::)

FREE SPEECH: Thank God and the Founding Fathers we have the First Amendment.

MARRIAGE: [1:11] – More than one therapist said in the comments, “I’m going to use this in my practice.”

SLIME STREAM: You can’t hate them enough.

TAX ON TIPS: Kamala has been saying in her stump speech that she will eliminate the tax on tips for hospitality workers. Not only did she copy this from Trump, but also there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell she’d actually make good on it.

Just last week,she said on Social media, “Two years ago today, I proudly cast the tie-breaking vote to pass our Inflation Reduction Act.” Dems claimed it would “make our tax code fairer by cracking down on millionaires, billionaires, and corporations that evade their obligations.”

The Inflation Reduction Act provided the IRS with $80 billion in additional funding, which they used to hire 87,000 new IRS agents. They promised they would only be going after people making $400K per year or more. BUT … the IRS initiated the tax on tips effort months BEFORE the vote!

TRUMP: Pray for him. – CLICK https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1823016427680358790 [2:31] to see an awesome new ad.

DE CLOUD! DE CLOUD! CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3L7wG5TBLVo to hear Kamala explain why your computer files are no longer private. They’re “in this cloud that exists above us.”

ELON MUSK: “Trump bad!” is the sum and substance of the Harris-Walz campaign. That is, when they’re not stealing his ideas and claiming they’ll fix all the problems they caused. It should interest the Undecideds to know that Elon invited Kamala to have the same conversation on his platform, but she refused.

CLICK https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1823218454369124491 [2:00:15] to hear the entire two hour chat that Musk and Trump had. From what I’ve heard, both of these men are genuine geniuses. It’s interesting how much less articulate Musk is than Trump. I am wondering if Trump was coming from a dental appointment. He doesn’t usually have a lisp, but Novocaine will do that to you.

Brandon Morse at Red State reported “it broke records with the interview ultimately receiving a billion views, and that’s on X alone. That’s not counting the amount of people who watched through streams covering the conversation like mine.”

FREUDIAN SLIP: On Sunday, Biden was asked if there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January. He said (truthfully) “If Trump wins, no.” Then, he remembered the Dem Talking Point and said, “I mean, if Trump loses.”

He was right the first time. When our guy was driven out of office by a fake election, none of the pro-Trump protesters brought weapons, including the one who was shot and killed by the same police who had moved the barriers, opened the doors, and invited protesters inside the Capitol Building.

When our guy was arrested and put on trial multiple times on bogus charges, there were protests, but no riots. After Dems tried to sink his candidacy with a humiliating mug shot, we responded by putting it on our coffee mugs and t-shirts.

And, most telling of all, when they shot at him, the only person who died was the shooter. We didn’t protest. We didn’t riot. We didn’t even go around telling our people to “get in their faces and let them know they are not welcome here.”

We are not the problem, America. They are.

HE’S NOT WRONG: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Tt1x2HU9tGU to hear the important question we all need to ask.

ILHAN OMAR: CLICK https://x.com/canarymission/status/1821229824998043789 [:22] to hear Tim Walz say how knowing this anti-semitic America-hater is in Congress brightens his darkest days.

IRAN: The Trump campaign has been hacked. Microsoft says it was an Iran-backed group.

NO APOLOGIES: The Harris campaign website has been updated. Instead of calling Walz a “retired Command Sergeant Major”, it now says that he once served at the Command Sergeant Major rank. He retired early without having completed all of the requirements to become a Command Sergeant Major, so he is actually a retired Master Sergeant.

STOLEN VALOR: [8:01] – My Army Reservist has known since last spring what her likely next deployment will be. She is still awaiting official paperwork.

WHO IS POTUS? – The link below presents new evidence that Joe Biden is in worse shape than even we have suspected. I’m not going to go into detail, because it’s been pretty clear for four years that he’s not functioning. Personally, I think BHO is running a shadow third term. I have no evidence, but he did say once that he would like to have a puppet take office so he could continue his agenda.

Biden was interviewed by CBS News Sunday Morning on August 11. I didn’t listen to it, but others says that, among other things, he said he was forced to step down by other Democrat leaders like Pelosi who believe he was damaging their own down-ticket chances to retain power. He also repeated the Dem mantra that Trump is “a genuine danger to American security.” (Project much, people?)

WINSOME SEARS: [6:21] – Please add a #4, Madame Lt Gov … make sure there’s no CHEATING this time!
