Do ghosts exist?
I know they do. And Catholic author, Dr. Peter Kreeft, agrees.
“The dead often do appear to the living,” Kreeft asserts. “There is enormous evidence of ‘ghosts’ in all cultures.”
The first and most important thing Catholics should know about ghosts is that we should not try to contact or communicate with them. Any kind of participation in the occult or spiritism is not only sinful, but also deeply dangerous.
The second thing we need to know is that ghosts sometimes contact or appear to people who are not seeking them. If that happens, the best response is prayer.
Kreeft suggests there are three kinds of ghosts, one kind from each of the places of the afterlife:
- Spirits from Hell – “[T]here are malicious and deceptive spirits,” Kreeft explains, “and since they are deceptive, they hardly ever appear malicious. These are probably the ones who respond to conjurings at séances. They probably come from Hell. Even the chance of that happening should be sufficient to terrify away all temptation to necromancy.”
- Spirits from Purgatory – This is “the most familiar kind: the sad ones, the wispy ones,” Kreeft explains. “They seem to be working out some unfinished earthly business, or suffering some purgatorial purification until released from their earthly, business. These ghosts would seem to be the ones who just barely made it to Purgatory, who feel little or no joy yet and who need to learn many painful lessons about their past lives on earth.”
- Ghosts from Heaven – Lastly, “There are the bright, happy spirits of dead friends and family, especially spouses, who appear unbidden, at God’s will, not ours, with messages of hope and love. They seem to come from Heaven. Unlike the purgatorial ghosts who come back primarily for their own sakes, these bright spirits come back for the sake of us the living, to tell us all is well.”
Thankfully, I have only read about the first kind. But I have personally experienced the second and third kinds on half a dozen occasions. Continue reading

All fledgling nations have their struggles and the CHAZ is no different. An unforeseen complication has already arisen.

COVID-19: The Left demonized hydroxychloroquine for one reason and one reason ONLY … because Donald Trump had mentioned its potential as a preventative/treatment for COVID-19.
I think “Trump Derangement Syndrome” needs a stronger word in the middle.

Stilton on Defunding Police
In order to prevent even a single future case of police malfeasance, liberals are now demanding to “defund the police” (which essentially means cutting training budgets, which won’t give us better cops) or getting rid of the police entirely and replacing them with (wait for it!) unarmed Rapid Response Social Workers.
No, really.
We’re not exactly sure how this would work. Would a social worker visit a crime in progress and attempt to disarm the perp with a forceful show of empathy? Or ask a rapist to stop pumping for a moment to consider what his victim’s feelings must be? Or perhaps thwart a bank robbery by pointing out to the bandits that, in the end, money can’t really buy happiness?
If attempted, we predict that this bold new initiative could be very effective in causing an uptick of rapes, murders, and robberies of social workers. Not to mention getting their “rapid response” electric cars stolen.
Realistically, all these social workers could really do is show up at crime scenes after the fact, and help the victims and survivors (if any) process the experience in emotionally healthy ways that don’t in any way denigrate those who have been forced into crime by unfortunate circumstances and societal injustice.
Still, we want to be fair about giving this new system a chance. So we suggest that the first team of rapid response social workers be deployed to Chicago to clean up that pesky “inner city black genocide” thing. Because in those mean streets, there are clearly a lot of killers who desperately need a hug.

Leftist Activism
The theatrical side of much Leftist activist can be amusing, such as when climate change activists dress up as fruits and vegetables. Or it can be absurd, such as when men don pink pussy hats.
But sometimes, it’s just vicious.
We saw it happen on January 18, 2019, when Native American activist Nathan Phillips targeted innocent teenagers, then pushed out the carefully cropped photos and video to gin up outrage at his targets.
The students received death threats and the Covington Catholic High School temporarily closed due to fears for its students’ safety.
And it looks like it has happened again.
CLICK to see the 33 second video Reuters pushed out of the “innocent” old man that meanie pants Buffalo police had “brutally” shoved to the ground.
As with the Covington kids, the immediate result was devastating for the old man’s victims. The police officers were charged with assault and suspended from the force.
But Martin Gugino is no innocent. He’s a hard-left activist who hates cops and who had been asked repeatedly to leave the area for trying to incite the crowd.
Footage has emerged showing Gugino hanging around with activists and boasting that he’s looking “for fun.” The shocked young man to whom he confided this said, “I think he’s looking to get punched in the face. That’s what it is.”
People who have been carefully examining footage of Gugino’s interactions with the police note the peculiarly graceful, staged way in which he fell. Others suggest the blood looks fake as well.
The Buffalo police force certainly believes that the two arrested officers were the victims of a set-up. Fifty-seven of them have resigned from the emergency response team.

DO BLACK LIVES REALLY MATTER?: George Floyd was high as a kite when he was restrained.
The coroner said that, while the restraint had probably contributed to his death, what really killed him was the effect of the drugs on his pre-existing heart condition.
The Left has used this one unfortunate, but probably self-inflicted death, to go completely crazy. While supposedly protesting racism and violence, their far-from-peaceful protests have killed at least four black men and one biracial women.
Meanwhile, two black women were arrested in New York City for peacefully protesting outside an abortion clinic where many black babies are killed every single week.
