ALABAMA: The state’s Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that an embryo created through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a child protected by Alabama’s wrongful death act and the Alabama Constitution.

The ruling involved LePage v. Mobile Infirmary Clinic, Inc., in which parents of frozen embryos that died when an intruder tampered with the IVF freezer are suing the clinic for wrongful deaths due to negligence.

Alabama has recognized unborn babies as human beings since 2018. This ruling simply clarifies that fertilized embryos held by IVF clinics qualify under this definition. Beyond the lawsuit, the impact of the ruling will be to prevent IVF clinics from routinely destroying unused embryos. In the graphic, this practice is euphemistically referred to as “cessation of storage”, which is kinda like calling abortion “ending a pregnancy.”

ANTI-CATHOLIC: A member of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” has been arrested in Wisconsin. The sheriff’s officials are recommending he be charged with four counts of possession of child pornography and four counts of sexual exploitation of a child. He is the county’s human resources director and his “husband” is a teacher at Menasha, Wisconsin, schools.

POPE FRANCIS: The Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will no longer be celebrated at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Austin, Texas, as of March 19. Between 500 and 600 devout Catholics have attended the services each week which were held at 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Reportedly, the order to switch these to the Novus Ordo Mass in Latin came directly from the Vatican. The closest TLM Mass will be in Dripping Springs, 25 miles from Austin. The traditional priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) also offers the Traditional Latin Mass on the second and fourth Sundays of each month in Austin at the Aiden Hotel.

SATAN’S DEPOPULATION CULT: The use of chlormequat chloride in agriculture is on the rise in North America. Prior to 2017, it was rare to find it in urine samples. But in 2017, it was found in 69% of the samples collected from people in the U.S. In 2018 through 2022, it was found in 74% of the samples. In 2023, the frequency jumped to 90%.

This chemical has been shown to delay puberty, reduce fertility, and harm developing fetuses at doses lower than those deemed “safe” by regulatory agencies. Researchers recently discovered chlormequat chloride in 90% of the samples of Cheerios collected in 2023.

Ben Bartee at PJ Media writes, “What we have here is asymmetrical warfare. The vast majority of the combatants on one side (the useless eaters, as they are described by the technocracy) has no idea it is in a war.

GRAMMY NOTES: I saw this sculpture in my FB feed. I did a Google Image Search, but was unable to find who made it. It speaks to me, especially about beating myself over the head with my past. I remember realizing, years ago when I was in therapy, that the first time someone hurt me, it was on them. But every time after, when I relived the wound and repeated the emotional pain, it was on me.

I recently watched a video by two guys who had planted identical young tomato plants with various types of raw, uncomposted kitchen scraps. At the end of the growing season, they compared the yields for each plant, then dug them up to see what had happened to each of the types of scraps and also how well developed the plants’ roots were. There were significant differences.

I didn’t pay much attention to which scraps did what, because I don’t garden. We dump all our kitchen scraps into our compost bin, then spread the goodness around the bases of our bushes and trees after it is well rotted. No, what interested me about the video was the idea of throwing raw waste into a hole and using it to nurture healthy, new growth. It reminded me of the burial scene near the end of the movie “The Shack.”

I’ve been doing a lot of memory work lately. After remembering, understanding an old hurt, and forgiving the person who caused the harm, I still struggle with the hurt. This sculpture adds to the powerful imagery from the tomato video and “The Shack.” Pounding myself over the head with bad memories, trying to change an impenetrable, rocky past, is the total opposite of throwing those hurts into a hole in good soil where God can use it to nurture new growth.

Hallelujah!

Another Sign of the End Times?

This year, we will celebrate Easter on March 31, 2024. This, of course, will be the end of our 40-day Lenten journey and the 3-day Triduum that commemorate Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.

The following Sunday, April 7, we will celebrate the Feast of the Divine Mercy when Catholics have the unique opportunity to receive tremendous graces from Our Lord.

On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will plunge the United States into darkness.

In the Old Testament Book of Jonah, we hear how the sinful foreign city of Nineveh was warned that if the people did not repent, God would destroy them.

Now Nineveh was an awesomely great city; it took three days to walk through it. Jonah began his journey through the city, and when he had gone only a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be overthrown,” the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.”

– Jonah 3:3-5

The forty days Jesus spent in the desert and the three days of His Passion, Death, and Resurrection are all foreshadowed in this story, as He foretold.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” He said to them in reply, “An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and there is something greater than Jonah here.

– Matthew 12:38-41

On June 15, 763 BC, ancient Nineveh experienced a solar eclipse. There are only 10 places in the world that are named “Nineveh.” Nine of them will be affected by the eclipse – i.e., all seven of the ones in the United States, plus the two in Canada. Below are times and degrees of totality at mid-eclipse for each location. Note: The times are all for the GMT-3 time zone. (GMT is also known as UTC.) I’ve ordered them from earliest to latest. (Read below for why the eclipse will move from west to east.)

  1. Nineveh, Texas (half-way between Dallas and Houston) – 99% at 13:42:07.
  2. Nineveh, Missouri (southwest of Springfield, IL*) – 96.6% @ 14:02:53.
  3. Nineveh, Indiana (south of Indianapolis) – 100% @ 15:05:43.
  4. Nineveh, Ohio (east of Indianapolis, IN) – 100% @ 15:08:39.
  5. Nineveh, Pennsylvania (northeast of Pittsburgh) – 98.9% @ 15:18:24.
  6. Nineveh, Virginia (west of Arlington) – 90.7% @ 15:19:00.
  7. Nineveh, New York (a little northeast of Binghamton) – 97.1% @ 15:24:08.
  8. Nineveh (Lunenberg), Nova Scotia (south end of the island) – 94.9% @ 16:36:52.
  9. Nineveh (Victoria), Nova Scotia (north end of the island) – 97.1% @ 16:40:15.

My sources where you can get even more information:

  • Places in the world named “Nineveh” @ https://geotargit.com/called.php?qcity=Nineveh. The only one that is not in North America is in the Solomon Islands, near Australia. N.b., this site does not list the two in Canada. The next one does.

CALIFORNICATION: The San Francisco Elections Commission has appointed a non-citizen to serve as an official. Kelly Wong, a native of Hong Kong, arrived in the United States in 2019 for graduate studies. She says, “I am deeply committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of immigration status, has a seat at the table in shaping the future of our city.

ENGLAND: The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London was bare nekkid for over 150 years. In 1998, somebody got the bright idea to use it to temporarily display different pieces of contemporary art. After their beloved Queen Elizabeth II died, Londoners expected the next piece, due to go up in August, would honor her. Instead, London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan (Labour Party) has reportedly approved a piece featuring the faces of 850 trans people, most of whom are sex workers.

ALASKA AIRLINES: A Seattle zookeeper was transporting six flamingo eggs when the portable incubator konked out. A flight attendant filled rubber gloves with hot water. While passengers donated scarves and coats to create a makeshift nest for the eggs, the flight attendant made multiple trips to refill rubber gloves with hot water. Several weeks later, six healthy chicks hatched. One of them has been named after the flight attendant’s granddaughter (photo).

FRIDAYS WITH FRANK: You really want to watch this to the end LOL. [8:26] – Favorite comment: “When Frank is speechless to the point of going CLICK CLICK CLICK with his pen, you know the level of stupidity has risen drastically.”

HE SAVES US: [1:00] – This is a response to the infamous “He Gets Us” ad that aired during the Super Bowl.

HELL IS REAL: [6:36] – St. Faustina describes what she saw in Hell.

NEW WORLD ROYALTY: One of the people Dr. Campbell interviews (see White Clots below) says he thinks some of the people who are complicit in the culling of the human race believe they “have a seat on the ark.” I’m thinking Huma and Alex have first class tickets. Such a shame that this ark will end up in Hell, not Paradise.

ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL: A Mass of Reparation has been offered for the scandalous funeral service held at the famous NYC landmark earlier this week. Details at the links, if you have the stomach for it.

WHITE CLOTS: Dr. John Campbell reports on what he believes is a completely new and highly lethal disease. It appeared suddenly after the COVID-19 mRNA “medical intervention” came on the market. I first reported on these things two years ago. I just now googled “white clots embalming” and found to my utter surprise (not) that the majority of articles say, “No connection to the COVID vaccine!” I remember when this first came out that the independent embalmer who was speaking up had spoken with many colleagues. Everyone was finding this stuff, but most were afraid to talk about it for fear of losing their jobs. I really hope you find the time (it’s a lot) to watch ALL of these all the way through … though I suggest you diffuse lavender essential oil and drink chamomile tea while you do, because it will get your blood pressure up!

GRAMMY NOTES: #10 was a preemie C-section, cuz the cord was wrapped around his neck. He was doing really well and was supposed to go home from NICU this weekend. But then his oxygen saturation alarm went off, so they’re going to hold him until maybe Thursday. Since they live about 90 minutes in good weather from the hospital, they decided it would be best for her to focus on the baby. Mama is staying at Ronald McDonald House; Dada is holding down the home fort with the other three boys. Prayers for them all please. And thank you!

2024: Just one day after Biden criticized Trump for supposedly “bowing down for a Russian dictator”, Putin gave Biden a ringing endorsement for the upcoming presidential election.

2030: Every decade, the U.S. census results in a reapportionment of seats in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College. The migration of Americans from failing Blue to thriving Red states will likely benefit Republicans.

BRANDING: I just saw this … https://www.facebook.com/reel/755347136541198 … and didn’t know if I should laugh or not. Then, I googled and found out the story itself is satire, which means I can post it here, cuz that last line is totally LOL worthy.

DIVERSITY: “You guys ripped a 90-year-old woman’s life work and passion away from her over a misunderstanding on a meaningless virtue signaling reference to gender pseudoscience. Shame on you evil cowards.” – Libs of TikTok [9:29]

Fran Itkoff (90) has been volunteering for the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society for sixty years. Over that time, she has received multiple awards for her hard work and dedication.

She recently received a letter from the volunteer manager that said her service to the organization was no longer welcome, because she had failed to “abide by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion guidelines.” She says she merely asked someone what it meant to use someone’s pronouns. It’s interesting how much more lucid this 90-year-old woman is than our 82-year-old president.

FANI WILLIS: CLICK https://rumble.com/v4dmsv9-fani-willis-just-buried-herself-on-the-stand-seemingly-admits-a-felony.html [2:11] to hear Willis testify at her misconduct hearing that she can’t or won’t identify where the cash she gave her lover for their secret sex trips came from.

It matters to his wife’s divorce case that he was married to her at the time. It matters to the IRS that he was charging their love nest vacays to his business credit card. And it matters to the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission whether or not the cash Willis used to reimburse him came from campaign contributions.

However, none of the above matters to the misconduct charge. The simple fact, that the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, entered into a sexual relationship with an employee, is undisputed and, IMO, enough to require her to resign. This is especially true given that, during her campaign, she specifically swore that she does not, will not, and would not date anyone who works under her.

FAUXTUS: In September 2021, the Biden administration directed the Labor Department to fine businesses with 100 or more employees if they failed to forced all of their employees to submit to the ‘rona jab. During the ensuing battle with the courts, the DOJ admitted that breakthrough infections in vaccinated people were common. But they maintained the mandate was still necessary to avoid having work disrupted by sick workers. COVID-19 is a seasonal, respiratory disease that has a fatality rate similar to the flu – i.e., between 0.1 and 0.2%.

This week, in a stunning display of hypocrisy, that same Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Tennessee’s aggravated prostitution statute that makes it a crime for people infected with HIV to knowing transmit the incurable virus. The DOJ wants the statute abolished, because it is “based on outdated science and misguided assumptions. This lawsuit reflects the Justice Department’s commitment to ensuring that people living with HIV are not targeted because of their disability.” HIV is an incurable, sexually transmitted disease that, with aggressive treatment, has a fatality rate of about 4.7%.

GETTING REAL: [2:51] – Some eco activists hold sit-ins on busy roadways, while others throw soup on priceless paintings. Then there are the people of Lancashire, England, who go to the beach every year to bury old Christmas trees. Since beginning the effort, the trees have rebuilt about 300 feet of the sand dunes that had washed away.

RUSSIA: In 2020, Alexei Navalny, the long-time political rival to Vladimir Putin, barely survived an assassination attempt that had him in a coma for 18 days. In 2021,a Russian kangaroo court sentenced him to 19 years; he was taken to a penal colony in the Arctic where, earlier today, the BBC announced he had died suddenly. The BBC reported, “Navalny, 47, was last seen only one day before his death, looking well and laughing during a court hearing via video link.”

TRANS: I just saw this quotation by Dr. Robert George, “Changing sexes is a metaphysical impossibility, because it is a biological impossibility.” I beg to differ. Confusing the natural with the supernatural is a common error made by atheists. The fact is that biological impossibilities can and do occur. But they’re called “miracles of God“, not “health care.” And I’m pretty sure that changing sexes isn’t one of the miracles He ever does.

FAUXTUS: What is it with Democrats and lying? On Monday, Joe Biden claimed that more than a million Americans died needlessly from COVID-19 because Trump did not vaccinate them. The vaccine first became available in December 2020 by which time the Trump administration had ordered enough to jab three-quarters of the eligible U.S. population. Biden took office in January 2021, inheriting the vaccine production and distribution plan the Trump administration had put together. And it wasn’t until Biden had been in office that we (allegedly) lost a million lives to COVID. (I say “allegedly” because I think they inflated the numbers for political purposes.)

Happy VaLENTine’s Day!

ASH WEDNESDAY: Excerpt from “When Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day are the same day”

God’s love for us, when speaking metaphorically, is romantic. He desires to love us the way a bridegroom desires his bride. The romance of his divine love is total, so strong that he gives his life for us, pours himself out in fasting and ashes. St. Valentine shares that love, sacrificing himself in service to the people under his priestly care. He greatly desired to assist them towards happiness. May the love between every husband and wife be so strong.”

2020: The Heartland Institute has published its new study of the 2020 votes that included data from a previous study showing approximately 20% of mail-in voters claimed to have committed election fraud. The researchers concluded that mail-in ballot fraud “significantly” impacted the 2020 presidential election.

Had the 2020 election been conducted like every national election has been over the past two centuries, wherein the vast majority of voters cast ballots in-person rather than by mail, Donald Trump would have almost certainly been re-elected.

2024: Last Friday, The Epoch Times reported that the Democratic National Committee had filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign of receiving an illegal contribution from American Values 2024, the super PAC working to get him elected president.

On Monday, RFK issued an apology to family members who were offended by the content of a political ad run at the Super Bowl. He said it was made without his knowledge, because it was paid for by the super PAC, American Values 2024, and FEC rules forbid him to consult with PACs. RFK is running as an Independent.

CALIFORNICATION: The Tolerance struck again, this time in Redding, when a trans activist put a rock through the window of a radio station during a live broadcast about a ballot initiative for protecting parental rights policies and women’s sports, while ending child mutilation via so-called “gender affirming care.” Thankfully, no one in the broadcast study was injured.

CANADA: On March 14, 2023, Calgary pastor Pastor Derek Reimer was arrested by four police officers and two security guards for praying silently in the hallway of the municipal complex. The Democracy Fund (TDF), a pro-freedom legal organization challenged the constitutional validity of the charges. On February 5, 2024, in an apparent effort to avoid having the by-law challenged, the City of Calgary dismissed the charges.

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Go3zh-v-vFw to hear a priest explain why efforts to “save the planet” are a waste of time.

CONGRESS: Earlier today, House Republicans impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, making him only the second U.S. presidential cabinet member ever to be impeached. The Republicans who voted against were Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), Ken Buck (R-Colo.), and Tom McClintock (R-Calif.). Mayorkas, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, was impeached on two counts, including lying under oath. Meanwhile, illegals are still pouring into our country by the millions.

FAMILY: Before she died, Sister Lucia dos Santos, one of the three children who witnessed the Marian apparitions at Fatima, predicted that the final battle between Christ and Satan would be over marriage and the family.

FAUXTUS: Despite the fact that 76% of Americans have concerns about the president’s mental fitness, the White House says Joe will not be taking a cognitive test with his upcoming physical.

Kamala says she is willing to serve if necessary; I suspect Greg Gutfeld said it more accurately, referencing her “salivating” as she “paged through drapery and carpet sample books.”

GERMANY: Fr. Wolfgang Lehner of Munich’s Seminary of St. John Baptist admitted that he accepts public homosexuals as seminarians and priests. In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI signed a document reiterating the RCC’s long-standing position that “while profoundly respecting the persons in question, [the Church] cannot admit to the seminary or to holy orders those who practise homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called ‘gay culture.’”

HAMAS: [9:06] – Israel Defense Forces (IDF) following a Hamas tunnel found a sophisticated command center, full of data servers being powered by the building above. Said building houses the Gaza headquarters for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). When Israeli forces raided UNRWA offices, they found a treasure trove of Hamas weapons and explosives.

INDIA: [4:42] – Indian police this week arrested seven Christians, including a Catholic priest and five Protestant pastors, on false allegations of attempting “forced conversions” of Hindus to Christianity. 

The incident took place in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh where, according to Indian news outlet UCA News, “persecution against Christians has witnessed a sharp rise.” Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India.

AMAZON: I think somebody at Amazon was pissed off when s/he packed my latest box. It had one lid-less bottle of Mod Podge rolling around in a box with no packing. The lid was in the box, but I am 99.9999% certain it did not unscrew itself in transit. Thankfully, the foil seal on the bottle’s goopy contents held up. But sheesh. What a petty thing to do to a total stranger.

ANGEL SHOTS: This has spread on social media and is now being implemented in many bars and restaurants. If a patron feels unsafe, s/he can order an “angel shot” to alert the staff. “With lime” or “with a twist” means “call the police.” “On ice,” “with ice,” or “on the rocks” means “order a taxi.” “Neat” or “straight up” means “I need someone to escort me to my vehicle.

TEXAS: On February 11, an individual who identified as a man named Jeffrey Escalante entered Lakewood Church in Houston wearing a trench coat and backpack. Lakewood is the megachurch pastored by prosperity preacher Joel Osteen.

The shooter, who was armed with a long rifle, injured one person, a 57-year-old man, before being killed by two off-duty police officers.

The shooter has been identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno (36 ), a trannie with a long criminal history that included assault, and drug and weapons charges. Andy Ngo reported that her social media shows a history of leftist politics.

Moreno had apparently brought a 7-year-old with her and appeared to use him as a shield. The child suffered a head wound and is in critical condition.

U.S. Representatives Tom Tiffany (WI-7 – House Judiciary and Natural Resources) and Doug LaMalfa (CA-1 – Natural Resources Committee) attempted to visit the facility, identifying themselves as members of Congress, and pointing out that they have a right to do oversight inspections. They were not only denied access, even to speak to the manager, then were threatened with the police and charges of trespassing.

Rep. Tiffany told the woman that they were not trespassing. “We’re here as members of Congress, and there are federal dollars that go into this operation.  So we have oversight.  And we just want to go in and see what your operation looks like.” He then told the woman that they would call for public hearings “because there appears there are other operations like this and people really need to know where their dollars are being spent.” She walked away.

The organization that runs this facility is reported as Casa Alitas, a program of the Catholic Community Services of Southern Arizona.  Their website claims they are “a humanitarian aid project committed to helping asylum-seekers.
