Pastor Cahn talks, in part, about the consecration of this session of Congress to paganism, rather than to the one true God and Father of Jesus Christ. So I looked it up. Sure enough, on January 3, 2021, Democratic Missouri representative Emanuel Cleaver invoked the blessing of the Hindu deity Brahma. He then concluded his prayer with the ludicrous “Amen. And a-woman.”

In other news, 46% of all U.S. counties have now declared themselves Second Amendment Sanctuary counties.

CATHOLIC: Many depictions of the Blessed Virgin Mary show her stepping on a snake. This tradition finds its roots in the Book of Genesis. Shortly after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the garden, God cursed the serpent who tricked them and foretold his ultimate destruction.
I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. (Genesis 3:15)
Some translations render it “he shall crush”, thus referring to Jesus Christ. St. Alphonsus Liguori notes that it doesn’t matter which way you go, because “it is certain that either the Son by means of the Mother, or the Mother by means of the Son, has overcome Lucifer.”
Just as Eve’s “yes” led to our destruction, so Mary’s “yes” made it possible for our Messiah to come into the world and save us.
CYPRUS: On May 5, the government announced that restaurants, churches, sports games, gyms, shops, and other venues may open starting May 10, but only to people who can prove they had a negative test for COVID-19 within the previous 72 hours, were vaccinated three weeks prior, or had been infected and recovered within the past six months. A night curfew will still be in effect.

Last week, I published the list of 45 Communist goals that was read into the Congressional Record back in 1964. Number 38 was “Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].”
Check out what was in the White House’s “Proclamation on Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, 2021:
“Supporting our law enforcement officers requires that we invest in underfunded public systems that provide health care, counseling, housing, education, and other social services.”
Coincidence? I don’t think so.
DISNEY: The Walt Disney Corporation has ordered all headquarters employees to attend seminars that inject critical race theory into their training. Whistleblower documents suggest the training regimen is designed to elicit guilt and shame from white employees while falsifying history.
FAUX-CONOMY: He said the miserable April jobs report “shows we’re on the right track.” Another sign of his mental deficiencies? Or just a simple statement of fact from the Globalist “We Hate America” Left?
GOOD GUY WITH GUN: [2:11] – I love the part where the news anchor says, “The police eventually arrived on scene.”
IRAN: The corrupt Iranian government painted American and Israeli flags on sidewalks and roadways so Iranians could walk on as a sign of disrespect.

In other news, thirteen Iranian gunboats harassed a formation of U.S. warships escorting including guided-missile submarine Georgia through the Straight of Hormuz. The Navy fired 30 warning shots in response. This is the second time in two weeks that Iranian gunboats have approached U.S. Warships close enough to warrant warning shots. The last incident happened on April 26 and marked the first time in nearly four years. … Four years? Hmmm.
JACKBOOTS: The University of Massachusetts at Amherst has slapped a one semester suspension on three freshman females who appeared on social media without face masks while outdoors and off-campus on a Saturday. All three are honors students.
The girls, who received no first offense warning and were barred from taking final exams, rendering their entire $16,000 semester completely invalid.
And if they’re stupid enough to want to return to Umass-Amherst … I’m sorry, but why would they?! … they’ll have to reapply after their suspension expires.
I’m thinking they need to apply to a new school right now … say one in a sensible state like Florida. I hope they find one that lets them test out of the classes they took, but were not allowed to complete.
PELOSI: If a Republican had done this, they’d be shrieking RAAACISM on the morning news. But, since it was Fancy Nancy, it was just an honest mistake that could happen to anyone.
UNEMPLOYMENT: As the economy reopens, businesses are finding it difficult to find people to fill available positions. One reason appears to be overly generous COVID-19 unemployment benefits. Republican governors in Arkansas, Montana, and South Carolina are ending the gravy train. Florida is expected to follow.
VAX: Gov. Phil Murphy, D-NJ, is considering a plan where New Jersey would pay people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Recently, Maryland launched a program to pay state employees $100 to become fully vaccinated. West Virginia is offering $100 savings bonds to 16- to 35-year-olds who get vaccinated.
WASHINGTON: Gov. Jay Inslee has signed a new law requiring K-12 educators to be trained in critical race theory.

CHINA: China is the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions. At 27% of the world’s total, China surpasses the combined output the U.S. (#2 at 11%), India (#3 at 6.6%), plus all 27 European Union member states.
COVID-19: The American Journal of Therapeutics has published a research paper calling for ivermectin to be “globally & systematically deployed” as a treatment for COVID-19. The Globalist Left has maligned ivermectin and suppressed information about its effectiveness, because they don’t want us to be free.
DNA: In 1995, school teacher Mary Catherine Edwards was sexually assaulted and then drowned in her own bathtub. Police collected DNA from the scene, but no suspects. However, in early 2020, police entered the crime scene DNA profile into GEDmatch, a web service and public DNA database.
They found more than 30 corresponding DNA files that allowed them to narrow the suspect pool down to two brothers. One had no criminal record. The other, Clay Foreman had a sexual assault on his record that bore similarities to Edwards’ murder.
Police collected some of Foreman’s trash and confirmed his DNA was a match. He is awaiting trial.
EDUCATION: Catholic school students scored significantly better in both math and reading than did public school students. It didn’t matter where the schools were located.
To get these superior results, Catholic schools somehow manage to spend less per pupil than do public schools. And the parents who send their children to Catholic schools get stuck paying twice, since they get no public school tax relief to help compensate them for their tuition payments.
ELECTRIC CARS: [16:19] – A recent survey of Californians who had purchased an electric vehicle between 2012-2018 found that about 20% switched back to a gas-powered car. Most indicated that charging the batteries was too much of a nuisance.
FAUXTUS ECONOMY: The April jobs report showed how quickly a new administration can change the economy. Economists expected we’d add one million jobs last month and bring the unemployment rate down to 5.8%. Instead, we added only 266,000 jobs and the unemployment rate went up to 6.1%.
FLORIDA: On Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced a round of one-time $1,000 bonuses for first responders—including firefighters and law enforcement officers. “We’re funding the police and then some.”
JAPAN: [1:29] – The coastal town of Noto in western Ishikawa Prefecture was awarded 800 million yen ($7.3 million) by the central government as part of an aid program aimed at boosting local economies damaged by the pandemic.
The town used 25 million yen ($229,000) of the aid to cover part of the cost of installing the 13 feet high and 29.5 feet long giant squid. The point was to raise awareness about the town’s fishing industry and increase tourism. Squid is a local delicacy in Noto.
I can’t help wondering how many toddlers are going to crawl inside that thing and refuse (or be unable) to come out again.
MILITARY: Under the Biden-Harris administration, normalizing homosexuality and transgenderism is taking precedence over military readiness.
NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER: [1:38] – FAUXTUS made history this week as the first President of the United States to omit “God” from his National Day of Prayer proclamation.
OKLAHOMA: On Friday, Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill banning the teaching of critical race theory in the state’s public and charter schools.
PANDEMIC: The Left has reveled in COVID-19 fear-mongering to bring about widespread destruction of personal freedoms and economic devastation. But the SCIENCE shows that none of it is justified. Yes, many people died in 2020, yet somehow the annual death totals for said countries have not suddenly increased. Funny thing about that, seeing as how we have not suddenly cured any of the major causes of death, such as old age, heart disease and cancer.
Until recently, a pandemic was defined as an infectious disease, spreading far and wide, and causing lots of death. However, the WHO paved the way for political power-grabbing and Big Pharma mega-profits by removing “causing lots of death” from the definition. IOW, the ‘rona did not cause a genuine pandemic. It just gave greedy globalists an excuse to move us closer to the Apocalypse.
PROFILES IN COURAGE: [8:19] – Gulfstream Gretchen is one of seven people who will be honored by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation for risking their own health and safety to protect others during the pandemic. They are also giving an award to Mitt Romney for voting to impeach Donald Trump.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: I saw this on Facebook – “I feel like I have to share this because it works so well for us! I’m sure I’m not the only one who goes crazy from their kids asking for every single thing they see in a grocery store.
“I tell them no lots, but I think naturally kids just see and ask. Well, to distract them from this I started letting them pick out one can for the food bank, any can they choose, every time we go to the store and they love it!
“They put so much thought into what can, they carry the can to the till, hand it to the cashier, and then put it in the food bank bin. My daughter likes to explain to people what the food bank is for.
“We have done this for our last 5 trips to the store and not once have they asked for something! And they are helping the food bank in the process.
“I know this won’t last forever but if anyone has a 2 or 4 year old like me I recommend trying it! Maybe when they get older I can turn it into a challenge (find a can that starts with the letter C or find a vegetable).”

TRANS: Amazon has surprisingly reversed its ban on selling Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. This book, written by the Wall Street Journal’s Abigail Shrier, details the harm that our culture’s fascination with so-called gender dysphoria is harming our daughters.
Activists are not happy. And as someone who believes their true leader is Satan, I am not surprised in the least that they have no compassion for the victims of their evil policies.
VAX: Watch this [4:55] – A doctor explains how mRNA “vaccines” (aka, “untested gene therapies”) work, says he has many patients who regrets getting them, and explains how important the early treatments are in reducing the death rate.
GRAMMY NOTES: For me, the main thing about the 18th birthday was that it marked when I was no longer legally responsible for them, so no longer had any right to offer unsolicited advice. It also marked when I began to transition my half of our relationships from parent/child to adult friends. Actually getting to the latter took years of patient waiting, holding my tongue, and prayer. But I’m there now with all three and I couldn’t be happier!!
As they were growing, I also used 18 a lot as a start for counting down to where they were, as in, this is how many years I have left to get them ready to be old enough to vote, sign a contract, go so far into debt that they end up declaring bankruptcy, and enlist in the military to go get shot at in places they never heard of before. I made lists of life skills a legal adult needs to have, then worked on teaching them those skills before they were on their own.
I remember one of them going through a really bad patch with high school academics, particularly math. Her teacher (inappropriately!) cornered her sister to ask her why her parents didn’t “care” that she was failing. I explained to all of them that we were more than happy to help with homework if asked and would even be willing to micromanage after school and week-end time IF ASKED. But we were not going to force a teen who was just a hop, skip and a jump from adulthood to do what needed doing.
We believed it was better to let her try and fail, when the consequence of failure was summer school, than to let her continue being immature into adulthood when the prices of failure were things like bankruptcy, homelessness, and hunger for herself and maybe one or more children.
We occasionally got crap from people like said Math teacher for our parenting style, which my husband called The Sieve Method. Basically, our job was to sieve reality for them. When they’re newborns, we had to be like our water filter that doesn’t even work unless the water goes through it under pressure. As they got older, we reduced the sieve to coffee filter, strainer, colander, etc. until by 18 they would be ready to stand under the waterfall of reality without drowning.
It seems like maybe we got a whole lot right, because we couldn’t be prouder of our grown kids. And when we see and hear them parenting the way we did, it’s just … ::sniff:: … LOVE!

ARIZONA AUDIT: [2:28] – What the colors mean and how far sleazy Dems have gone to prevent a fair count.
CHELSEA: It is difficult to imagine anyone being so smug and conceited in her ignorance as to sneeringly counsel an archbishop to read his Bible. (BTW, the correct term of address for an archbishop is “Archbishop,” not “Father.”)
COVID-19: Click the link below for a very thorough, science-based discussion of the origin of the virus that shut down the world. The author presents substantial evidence that the virus was created in and leaked from the Wuhan lab, which was funded by the NIH under the leadership of Dr. Fauci.
DOMINION: [1:08] – Wow … Maricopa County ceded control of their election to this private company, which is now refusing to turn over Admin access to the auditors!
Gee … what a coinkidink that Dominion has close ties to Democrats /sarc.
FAUCI: Fauci thinks everyone, vaccinated or not, should be required to wear masks 24/7. This includes children playing out of doors at playgrounds or at summer camp.
Research shows that the coronavirus is rarely transmitted out of doors and/or via children. It also shows that the majority of vaccinated individuals appear to be immune to the disease.
And common sense would seem to dictate that kids should NOT be running around in the heat of summer wearing MASKS. But common sense has no hold on Dr. Death. He’s too busy pushing us toward a One World Government.
FEC: On Thursday, the Federal Election Commission announced it is dropping its investigation into claims made by Stormy Daniels (porn star) against President Trump.
Daniels (who takes her clothes off for a living) was represented by ex-attorney Michael Avenatti (convicted felon). Her claim against Trump also involved ex-attorney Michael Cohen (convicted felon).
Trump announced the decision saying, “Between two sleazebag lawyers, Michael Avenatti and Michael Cohen, we were all able to witness law and justice in our Country at its lowest!”
FLORIDA: On Thursday, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a Republican-backed election integrity law that places restrictions on ballot drop boxes and mail-in ballots. DeSantis said it would place Florida ahead of other states in preventing voter fraud.
HYPOCRISY: Bishop Robert McElroy of the Diocese of San Diego thinks “the proposal to exclude pro-choice Catholic political leaders from the Eucharist is the wrong step. …
“Their logic is that abortion and euthanasia are particularly grave evils … and they involve threats to human life. But why hasn’t racism been included in the call for eucharistic sanctions against political leaders?”
I dunno … maybe because none of them are advocating for laws that would making racially motivated murders legal?
I’ve heard of so-called Catholic leaders applying this kind of non-logic as an excuse to deny parishioners permission to start a pro-life ministry.
E.g., “What about capital punishment? Are you going to do anything about that? No? Oh, well, then, you’re a hypocrite, so no you can’t start a pro-life ministry here.”

PADDLING: The principal in the now-famous video has been cleared of charges. The Florida State Attorney’s Office found that using a paddle to spank a child does not cause “great bodily harm,” or amount to child abuse.
“A parent has a right to use corporal punishment to discipline their children, and similarly has the right to consent that others do so on their behalf.”
Parents may have the right (in some states), but I have a problem with the “I don’t like what you did and I’m bigger than you are, so I am going to hit you” message that corporal punishment sends.
POLITIFACT: Perfectly partisan “fact” checking.
RANDOM ACTS: After a hiker sent the picture above to a friend, he went missing. With just the photo to go on to locate the man, local LEOs posted the photo on-line and asked if anyone could tell them where it had been taken.
Thankfully, Benjamin Kuo saw the plea and responded. “I’ve got a very weird hobby, which is I love taking a look at photos and figuring out where they’re taken.” Kuo pinpointed where the photo had been taken allowing rescuers to fly out and locate the missing hiker.
The hiker said, “I really don’t know if I could make it there another day. It was just so cold.”
RUDY: Andrew Giuliani on the FBI raid of his father’s home [5:24] – The FBI did not go after Hunter Biden, but they did go after Rudy Giuliani who exposed Hunter’s many crimes.

CATHOLIC: On Sunday, Oct. 3, 1847, more than 2,000 people in Ocotlán, Mexico saw a perfect image of Jesus Christ crucified that appeared in the sky for more than 30 minutes. This apparition of Christ is called the Lord of Mercy. It was validated by the Archbishop of Guadalajara in 1911.
“We must acknowledge as an historical fact, perfectly proven, the apparition of the blessed image of Jesus Christ Crucified…and that it could not have been the work of an hallucination or fraud, since it happened in broad daylight, in the sight of more than 2,000 people.”

The 45 Communist Goals: In 1964, this list of 45 Communist goals was read into the Congressional Record. It’s overwhelming to read them and realize how far they’ve come. As you look through them, keep in mind that this is from 1964 … because parts of it read like today’s headlines.
The blog linked below posted this in 2011, at which time the author estimated that we were 90% there. Trump slowed it down for four years, but now Biden et al. are barreling toward completion at a frenetic pace.
The 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto
1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to work and the establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in government schools and abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form – combination of education with industrial production, etc.

FLORIDA: Warning … this is disturbing. CLICK https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1388753368030617600 [:36] to see undercover video of a Clewiston, Florida, elementary school principal hitting a 6-year-old with a wooden paddle in a county where corporal punishment is illegal. She really whales on the kid, giving herself plenty of room for her back swing.
Police have turned the case over to the state’s district attorney, who will determine whether to bring charges against the principal. The Department of Children and Families is also investigating.
FROM THE DESK: On Tuesday, Trump launched his own one-way communications platform. The platform allows followers to share his posts to social media sites, but does not include a feature to let users reply or engage with Trump’s posts directly.
GATES: Bill and Melinda have announced they are getting a divorce after 27 years of marriage.
LEBRON: CLICK https://twitter.com/HoodieKD7/status/1389068337812938752 [:11] to see the racist b-ball superstar over-play the elbow that doesn’t appear to have even touched his face. HoodieKD7 notes in the next tweet that his text was meant to be sarcastic. Another tweeter noted, “faking being hurt to get extra foul calls? LeBron does this stuff constantly.”
LIFE: We’re only 1/3 of the way through 2021 and already 536 pieces of pro-life legislation have been introduced and a whopping 61 have been signed into law. The Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood’s research arm) calls these numbers unprecedented. We call them excellent news for the unborn!
MICHIGAN: [1:32] – Pure hypocrisy. Pure Whitmer.
NEW YORK: The caster of Chuckie Schmucker’s second vote is eager to fit in with the Left’s destruction of the nuclear family. This, of course, is one of the tenets of Communism. In 1972, I went with a high school tour group to visit Helsinki, Leningrad, and Moscow. Our Russian tour guide told us she wanted to stay home with her 3-year-old daughter, but the state didn’t allow it. She had been given two choices of career. She chose tour guide, because she thought she’d hate it less than the other one.
RANDOM ACTS: On Sunday afternoon, a collision on a bridge over Assawoman Bay in Ocean City, Maryland, caused one vehicle to teeter over the guardrail, throwing an 18-month-old baby girl into the water 25-feet below. A quick-thinking bystander immediately jumped in and saved her from drowning. The hero has yet to be identified.
ROMNEY: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/500948311267693 [3:33] to hear Michael Knowles report on and fact checked Mitt Romney, who was loudly booed by his own people.
TEXAS: On Saturday, the 6th congressional district of Texas had an jungle primary to choose a replacement for the seat vacated by Congressman Ronald Wright who died in February. Only one of the 23 candidates was an anti-Trumping Republican, so naturally CNN focused all its adoring attention on that guy. He came in 9th with just 3.2% of the vote.
The Democratic candidates, with a combined 36% of the total vote, were shut out. Nobody got over 50%, so there will be a run off between the top two winners, who are both Republicans – Trump endorsed Susan Wright (19.2%) and Rick Perry endorsed Jake Ellzey (13.8%).
TRANS: Wow … CLICK https://twitter.com/lavern_spicer/status/1388581820392955919 [:40] to hear Caitlyn Jenner say “it just isn’t fair” for biological males to compete in women’s sports. Caitlyn was formerly known as Bruce Jenner who won the gold medal in the men’s decathlon event at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. What is especially notable about this clip is that Jenner recently announced she is running for Governor of California.
WASHINGTON: Chocolati in Seattle has earned a reputation for treating cops badly. On Tuesday, the girl behind the counter flatly refused to wait on an officer and his trainee.
From the company’s website: “We believe that it is a company’s duty to support the communities that keep us in business.” Riiiiight.
GRAMMY NOTES: Bunny and Bootz gave me a big giggle when they were here last week-end.

ALYSSA MILANO: CLICK https://twitter.com/RitaPanahi/status/1388577334429581312 [:51] to hear a powerful message to race-baiting Leftits who engage in the bigotry of low expectations.
AMVETS: For 32 years, AmVets, a Congressionally-chartered veterans service organization, has sponsored a Memorial Day event called “Rolling Thunder” that gathers together veterans and their motorcycles for a genuinely thunderous and physical show of advocacy and support. They have traditionally used the Pentagon parking lot as a staging area, but FAUXTUS’ DoD turned down their request for 2021 … but not before wasting months of time during which the group could have been looking for an alternate venue. AmVets says they’re coming to D.C. anyway.
COVID-19: The Left is busy, busy, busy telling us all about India’s Alarming Surge in COVID-19 cases. What they are not telling us is that India’s surge only started after they started vaccinating.
They’re also not telling us how India’s wide use of hydroxychloroquine has stopped the pandemic in its worst, most crowded slums or how one district even put together inexpensive ivermectin kits that doctors could easily prescribe.
They’re not telling us how India’s wide use of these safe, effective, and inexpensive drugs has resulted in India, which has four times the population of the U.S., having less than half of the coronavirus related deaths. In fact, 98 nations have higher coronavirus death rates than India’s puny 130/1 million population)!
But perhaps the most important thing they’re not talking about is the high recovery rate (99% of identified cases) which is automatically adding almost all of the new cases to the herd immunity the pro-vaxxers harp on.
Meanwhile, Tony “Dr. Death” Fauci is recommending that all of India lock itself down. India is a very poor country whose citizens cannot socially distance or work from home. Many live on the edge of starvation, so any economic slow-down is a literal death sentence for, I’d guess, a LOT more than the 1% the virus is killing.
FAUXTUS: [:33] … huh?
GIRAFFES: [10:36] – Two of my favorite things … giraffes and True Facts! … Oh EW, I had no idea they’re tongues were so nasty.
HOME IMPROVEMENTS: Builders sometimes change plans in very unacceptable ways! Pro Tip: Hire a local architect who has a good reputation with the people who enforce zoning/codes etc. Pay him to visit your job site often to ensure that construction is done to plan.
ILLINOIS: [4:39] – Dr. Brook Bellow pleaded with Illinois lawmakers to not repeal the state’s requirement that abortion providers notify a parent, guardian, or other designated representative when a minor girl is scheduled for an abortion. This is worth watching. Also, tissue alert.
KANSAS: In 2013, Kansas passed the law prohibiting “wrongful birth” that some parents inflicted on doctors for allegedly failing to provide information that would have led them to abort their unborn babies. On Friday, the Kansas Supreme Court upheld the law.
LIFE: After walking out on three abortion appointments, this young woman made one more. After that, they told her she’d be past the legal limit. She says she told God, “If you don’t want me to have this abortion then you have to physically stop me because I’m just gonna numb myself out and do it even though I’m totally against it.”
As she and her baby’s father headed to that appointment, they took an exit ramp that met the Planned Parenthood parking lot at the bottom. As they drove down the exit of the freeway, the car spun out of control and they ended up on the side of the road with a flat tire.
The baby’s father said he had a new spare tire in the trunk, but when he opened the trunk to get it out, he found that this new tire was completely deflated. She realized God had answered her prayer, so she now has her beautiful son here on Earth with her.
NEW YORK: Gov. Cuomo’s nursing home cover up was even worst than we thought. At the time Gov. Death was busy negotiating with his publisher for his “I’m the hero of ‘Rona” biography, his health officials were not only suppressing the truth about their own statistics, they also quashed a scientific paper that would have reported the true fatality total.
Cuomo insists he did nothing wrong in his handling of nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic and would not resign from his position.
PAUL HARVEY: Policemen [2:09].
PAVING: A Scottish engineer has figured out how to use recycled plastic to replace some of the bitumen in asphalt.
PELOSI: On May 1, the Most Reverend Salvatore J. Cordileone published a lengthy document titled “Before I Formed You In The Womb, I Knew You.” the archbishop examined the implications of high profile Catholics who publicly support abortion. In it, he said to public figures like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, “If you find that you are unwilling or unable to abandon your advocacy for abortion, you should not come forward to receive Holy Communion.”
He also said, “I tremble that if I do not forthrightly challenge Catholics under my pastoral care who advocate for abortion, both they and I will have to answer to God for innocent blood.”
The reason this is more notable than other statements of this kind is that Cordileone is Archbishop of Pelosi’s home district of San Francisco.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: Päivi Räsänen is a member of parliament in Finland, a former Minister of the Interior, a medical doctor, a grandmother and a strong Christian. She is widely known for defending conservative Christian views and speaking out against abortion and euthanasia.
She is now facing three criminal charges for alleged “hate speech.” She says, “I do not consider myself guilty of threatening, slandering or insulting anyone. My statements were all based on the Bible’s teachings on marriage and sexuality.”
If convicted, she could face up to six years in prison.
VAX: The World Health Organization’s European drug monitoring agency has received 19,916 reports of “eye disorders” following injection of a COVID-19 vaccine. These range from minor discomforts to blindness.
YAHOO: “Yahoo” has at least two meanings. One is “hurray.” The other is “a rough, brutal, uncouth character.” I’m guessing the company wanted to evoke the first, but their behavior is leaning far more toward the second.
“At this point I trust Joe Rogan over Bill Gates.” – Kevin Sorbo

AMERICAN FAMILIES PLAN: As per usual, Democrats have given a backwards name to an initiative. One might think that something called an “American Families Plan” would promote the family. One would be wrong. It is set to disincentivize marriage and childrearing while allowing government systems to take over the family.
ANTIFA: CLICK https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1387946175563591680 [2:01] to hear anarchists declare their intention to destroy. Oh, and Mayor Ted, resign or die.
CATHOLICISM & ECONOMICS: Thirty years ago today, Pope John Paul II issued a landmark encyclical on economics called Centesimus Annus. Catholic scholar Stephen White notes that John Paul recognized that socialism had a fundamental error in reducing the human person to a cog in a machine that denied the transcendent destiny of every person.
But the pope also warned: “[I]nsofar as [the affluent society] denies an autonomous existence and value to morality, law, culture and religion, it agrees with Marxism, in the sense that it totally reduces man to the sphere of economics and the satisfaction of material needs.”
FAUXTUS: “Devout Catholic” Joe has officially removed the United States from an historic pro-life declaration initiated by the Trump administration and co-sponsored by 34 other countries representing regions all over the world.
The declaration is “not consistent with our current Administration’s policies, including those relating to women’s health, LGBTQI equality, and gender equality.” IOW, it’s not consistent with Catholic doctrine.

MASKS: [1:51] – Oregon has revised mask mandate for outdoor athletics after a high school runner collapsed at the finish line.
RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS: [3:09] – A cop in Nashua, New Hampshire, purchased this basketball hoop so the kids could play along with him and his buddies.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: On Friday, April 23, 2021, Pastor John Sherwood (71) was dragged off by three police officers and detained overnight for engaging in “homophobic hate speech” – i.e., teaching what the Bible says about marriage.
SYSTEMIC RACISM: CLICK https://twitter.com/Adam4d/status/1388309921230360579 [:54] to hear Florida Gov. Ron de Santis explain why critical race theory is banned in Florida’s schools.
VOTER FRAUD: A Pennsylvania man was sentenced to five years’ probation after admitting to casting an illegal ballot during the Nov. 3 election. The 70-year-old man cast a mail-in ballot for Trump on behalf of his mother who had been dead for more than ten years. During his probation, he will not be allowed to vote in an election or serve on a jury.
GRAMMY NOTES: During their visit this week-end, our Mascots spent hours playing in Nonno and Grammy’s awesome sand pit. 🙂
