ADDING INSULT TO INJURY: On the anniversary of 9/11, the Biden administration authorized the transfer of $6 billion to Iran … a nation that is desperately trying to acquire nuclear weapons, so they can use them on us.

Meanwhile, in Alabama, a first grader was suspended for making a finger gun while playing cops and robbers.

CATHOLIC: I’d like to encourage all y’all to listen to this Mass. The homily is excellent. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz-X06K4O6E [28:46].

EVs: Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm set out on a four-day electric-vehicle road trip this summer to pimp the administration’s multi-billion dollar investments in green energy and clean cars. The entourage included a luxury Cadillac Lyriq, a hefty Ford F-150 and an affordable Bolt electric utility vehicle.

When they stopped to recharge in Grovetown, a suburb of Augusta, Georgia, one of the four chargers was broken, while the other three were occupied. The advance team tried to reserve a spot by parking a nonelectric vehicle by one of those working chargers. As a result, a family with a baby was forced to wait in the sweltering heat. They called the police, but since it is not illegal for a non-EV to claim a charging spot in Georgia, they couldn’t do anything.

While admitting that road trips can be challenging, charging at home is supposedly cheap and easy. “Just plug in overnight and you’re good to go.” This presupposes that you own your own garage and had the bucks to have a charger installed and the infrastructure isn’t overwhelmed and imposing rolling brownouts or outright blackouts.

IMPEACHMENT: On Tuesday, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced that the House will open an impeachment inquiry to investigate the possible involvement of President Joe Biden in the business dealings of his son Hunter Biden. The investigation will be led by Reps. James Comer (R-Ky.),  Jason Smith (R-Mo.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the chairmen of the oversight, ways and means, and judiciary committees, respectively. “We will go wherever the evidence takes us,” McCarthy promised.

NEW YUCK CITY: Mayor Adams is demanding that police, fire, sanitation, and corrections all cut their OT costs so he’ll have more money to house and feed illegals.

THREADS: Mark Zuckerberg’s lame “Threads” app is currently blocking users from searching “coronavirus,” “vaccines,” and “vaccination.” A company spox said they are doing this because those searches “may show potentially sensitive content.”

VAXXX: A study entitled “Forensic Analysis of the 38 Subject Deaths in the 6-Month Interim Report of the Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccine Clinical Trial” has been published by preprints.org. Although this forensic analysis of Pfizer’s and BioNTech’s early mRNA serum trial data has not yet been peer reviewed, it reveals significant problems with the trial data that we should know about.

For example, they found that serum trial subjects experienced a 3.7 times increase in cardiovascular deaths compared to placebo control subjects. This “significant adverse event signal” was not disclosed by Pfizer/BioNTech when the vaccine was authorized for emergency use.

They also found significant data missing from participants’ files, including pre-trial clinical histories, the results of the extensive array of medical testing carried out at the pre-trial screening and at other regularly scheduled visits, and autopsy results, making Pfizer/BioNTech’s cause of death designations suspicious.

The analysts also found that Pfizer/BioNTech had fudged the cutoff date for the trial, thereby concealing the more than three-fold increased risk of cardiovascular death with the vaccine.

Following the unblinding, trial participants who had received the placebo were notified and offered the opportunity get the mRNA serum. Most did so. Analysts found that Pfizer/BioNTech listed post-jab deaths with unvaccinated deaths.

Pfizer/BioNTech also refused to allow more than one cause of death to be listed and went so far as to alter death reports to remove references to complications like myocardial infarction that they knew were due to the mRNA serum. One patient’s cause of death was revised several times, in part to remove reference to the fact that he had had COVID-19 pneumonia when he died.

VFAUXTUS: This week, Harris said the idea that the Biden administration supports legal abortion up until birth is “ridiculous” … then refused to name a single regulation of abortion she would support.

Miracle!

On September 10, 2023, Father Carlos Martins, the “relics” guy and exorcist, posted what is below to his Facebook page. For an explanation of why venerating relics is not only not idolatry, but is actually scriptural, go to https://treasuresofthechurch.com/about-relics/.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8mKNpVpcp4 [:59] to hear Fr. Martins briefly introduce the St. Jude tour. Go to https://apostleoftheimpossible.com/tour-schedule/ to see the latest tour schedule. TODAY’S stop:

Wednesday, September 13, 2023 

Saint Julie Billiart Catholic Church
7399 W. 159th Street
Tinley Park, Illinois  60477
(708) 429-6767

  • Public veneration of Saint Jude Relics begins: 1:00 PM
  • Special Mass celebrated in Saint Jude’s honor: 7:30 PM
  • Public veneration ends: 10:00 PM

Saint Jude performed the tour’s first miracle!

The tour of the arm of Saint Jude began today. As I was making my way towards the first stop in Chicago, I received a phone call reporting a miracle.

Years ago, I met a kind gentleman at one of my expositions named Doug Edwards. Doug owns a sign printing company, Edwards Signs, in Owosso, Michigan. For this tour, as for every major tour, I design and print large catechetical banners to help teach people about the Saint and our Catholic faith.

I called Doug and asked him to recommend a good banner printer within the state of Michigan. I did not know that Doug also produced banners, and he said he would gladly produce them for me at no cost. The last tour I did, the banner production cost was in was in excess of $20,000, so Doug’s offer to print them for free took me aback. He even came and picked up the mounting hardware from my office, an hour and a half away from his shop.

When he called to say the banners were done, I thought the least I could do was pick them up and save him the return trip to my office. I called and told him that I would be bringing the arm of Saint Jude with me, and that he could call any friends or family that he wanted to have an up close view of the relic. When I arrived, a couple of dozen people were gathered, waiting to pray with the Saint.

Doug’s wife Noreen suffers from debilitating medical condition and could not be present. She had brain surgery 22 years ago that left her largely non-functional. For example, when she is able to make it to Sunday Mass, it wipes her out and that is all she is able to do for the rest of the day. On a rare occasion, she will go with Doug to the grocery store, but soon afterwards will return to the truck and wait for him to finish.

I offered to take Saint Jude to their home and give her a personal visit, but Doug thought it would just be too much for her. All of us asked Saint Jude to visit her in spirit.

The next day, Doug went home from work, and Noreen had dinner laid out on the table, something she has not been able to do in two decades. In Doug’s words, “She was darting about the house like a young girl.”

All of Noreen’s symptoms are gone.

CALIFORNICATION: At a drag-themed fundraiser for a Democratic senate candidate in California, Burbank city mayor Konstantine Anthony got SPANKED by a drag queen. Children were present. When called out on the original video by commenters, Mayor Konstantine Anthony commented, “Jealous??” We should probably not be surprised, since Anthony also approved of the book, Gender Queer, being in public school libraries.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmkpd_S_tGo [7:01] to hear how he became convinced that the teachings of the RCC are true. I love the part where he said he made a list.

NEW MEXICO: On Friday, Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered that the Second Amendment be suspended for 30 days in Bernalillo County where Albuquerque. According to her, recent gun violence in the region constituted a “public health emergency.” Yeah, that’s what they said about COVID.

STAMP SCAM: I’ve got an interesting and unexpected update on the U.S. stamp scam. I received the “stamps” I ordered. To recap: I stupidly fell for a Facebook ad scam about USPS stamps for sale. In my defense, the website is very professionally done. I buy my stamps online and this site (uspstamps.com) looked exactly like the real one (usps.com).

But, as soon as I saw on my online bank statement that the charge was not to USPS, but to a website that does not exist and a street address that came up as a house for sale, I realized my mistake. So I notified my bank, had my credit card canceled, reported the incident to the FBI’s online fraud unit, and beat myself up for falling for a scam.

I was astonished when I received the “stamps” and now suspect the scam goes beyond an online credit card rip-off and into outright counterfeiting. We’re going to report it to our postmaster. I’ll let you know what he says.

VAXXX: The FDA has approved the new Moderna and Pfizer mRNA “vaccines” for people aged 12 and older and granted emergency authorization for the shots for people aged 6 months to 11 years. (Never mind that kids that young are virtually guaranteed to have a mild case that imparts long-term immunity.) Florida’s Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, says to just say no to the drugs. “There’s been no clinical trial done in human beings showing that it benefits people, there’s been no clinical trial showing that it is a safe product for people.

VIRGINIA: Michelle Blair is suing her local school district and a public defender for pushing her daughter into transgenderism, prostitution, and sex trafficking. Blair alleges that school district employees secretly “transitioned” her daughter, who was later placed by the public defender in an all-male juvenile facility, where the girl was sexually assaulted and then kidnapped, raped, and sex-trafficked after she ran away from the facility.

GRAMMY NOTES: My knee tap went well; thank you for your prayers! I’m sore, but my doctor was able to extract enough fluid for the lab to do a culture, so first hurdle down. 🙂 Additional prayers please that the fluid contained a goodly sample of the fungus that’s infesting me, that it will flourish in its petri dish, and be correctly identified so we will know what we’re dealing with and can wisely adjust my treatment protocol.

ABORTION: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ihFcK5twFuw to hear a very low information voter. – In humans, a zygote is formed when an egg cell and sperm cell come together to create a new unique organism. The zygote phase is brief, lasting only about four days, long before any woman knows she has conceived a child. During the next phase of development, the organism is called a blastocyst. Once the blastocyst has implanted in the uterine lining, the organism becomes an embryo, a phase of development that last from two weeks to eight weeks after conception. By the time most women realize their periods are late and at least begin to suspect they are pregnant, their unborn children ate way past the zygote stage. From the ninth week until birth, the organism is known as a fetus. Fetus just means “an unborn or unhatched vertebrate.” At birth, a human child is called a neonate. One month after birth, that same child becomes known as an infant. When that child becomes mobile, it is known as a toddler. When it is running, climbing, and talking back, it is known as a pre-schooler. And on and on. At every stage of development, the child is a living, growing, DNA-unique being.

DISNEY: Disney+ has a new animated series in the works. According to IMDb, “Pauline will feature an 18-year-old girl who accidentally becomes pregnant from a one-night stand with Lukas, who, as it turns out, is the devil himself. The pregnancy gives Pauline supernatural powers and an epic battle between good and evil ensues.” Sooooo … let me think. This chick is going to get supernatural powers from Satan and use them to fight evil? I. Don’t. Think. So. This is yet another variation on the New Age lie that supernatural powers are neutral. Little wonder the exorcists are so busy these days.

Recently, it appears to have gotten into my left knee joint, so today, my primary is going to stick a needle in and try to draw out some infected material to culture. He warned me that the tap is uncomfortable and may not produce any culture at all, but if it does, it would be enormously helpful in fighting this muck.

SEATTLE: The UW study analyzed bus and train car air samples collected on 28 evenings between March and June of this year. Out of the 78 air samples, researchers found fentanyl in a quarter of them and methamphetamine in all of them.

This study did not test any transit operators or passengers to see if they had secondhand fentanyl or methamphetamine in their systems. It certainly should be done. Methinks somebody should also look into how much exposure passengers, particularly children and pregnant women, are experiencing.

When that same kid was all grown up and trying to get her health back, her doctor kept shaking his head over her labs. She asked why and he said, “I can’t reconcile these number with the woman who is sitting in front of me. Your thyroid level is the worst I’ve EVER seen, yet you’re well groomed and pleasant.”

She said, “That’s cuz I grew up with a mom who NEVER felt good, but she just kept on being nice and doing as much as she could.”

CALIFORNICATION: On Monday, the California State Assembly officially recognized August as Transgender History Month.

DANNY MASTERSON: The actor, known for his role on That ’70s Show and his devotion to Scientology, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted on two counts of rape. He faces a second civil trial in connection with the crimes that focuses on the alleged harassment of the Church of Scientology which, as is their practice for high profile celebrity members, worked to hide his crimes and silence his victims.

FAUXTUS: Earlier this year, Biden said that the benefits provided under “The Family and Medical Leave Act” should be expanded. But early in 2021, his transition team un-approved a request for paid parental leave from two married DHS employees who both appointed to their posts by the Trump administration. The time they needed to care for their premature infant “had all been approved,” the wife said. “It took more of an effort to deny us than to give it to us.”

GEORGIA: Fulton County’s District Attorney Fani Willis wanted to try former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants all together. But four of the defendants, including Trump, have asked to sever their cases, while two others have moved to have their cases heard in a federal rather than state court. Dems also wanted this big show trial to be televised prior to the 2024 election.

Hearings and appeals for removals to federal court could take four to six months. Any severed cases will need to be tried separately, which could take about four months each, not including jury selection, and require 150 witnesses to show up to each trial. One legal commenter noted about repeating witnesses, “The more times you repeat a story, there are going to be inconsistencies that occur that later defendants will be able to exploit.”

LYING WITH STATISTICS: The annual number of Americans who use their guns to stop crime ranges from about 64,000 to 3 million per year. The pro-gun-control people prefer to cite the FBI’s number. According to them, only 14 “good guys with guns” have stopped an active-shooter incident between 2014-2022.

John Lott, who until recently was a senior adviser for research and statistics for the DOJ, was tasked with fact checking that number. He says he found the actual rate to be 8 to 11 times higher, depending on local carry laws. He shared his findings with the FBI. They did not change their report.

One dodge the FBI uses to provided the gun control activists with their useful but fake number is to define “active-shooter incidents” as only those in which an individual actively kills or attempts to kill people in a populated, public area. But it does not include shootings that are deemed related to other criminal activity. Many self-defense shootings happen during home invasions, etc. Lives are saved, but the gun controllers couldn’t care less. They don’t want us to be safe.

Lott is now running The Crime Prevention Research Center, which maintains a list of actual “good guys with guns” incidents.

Yes. I wasn’t the only one she’d seen that with.

The suit was filed by the nonprofit Children’s Health Defense after the agencies refused a FOIA request for the records. What are they hiding?!

AUSTIN: It’s been two years since Austin police stopped responding to non-emergency calls because of low officer numbers. Now they include in “non-emergencies” getting mugged.

ABORTION: Fact Check – 10,000 abortions a year are performed in the U.S. after 20 weeks. While this is only 1.3% of all abortions, it is still ten thousand dead babies who were close to or past viability. Polls show that about 70% of Americans believe abortion should be banned at 12 to 15 weeks.

Consider by comparison how outraged abortion supporters get over school shootings. Yet, during the worst year of school shootings in U.S. history, 34 people total died. Not ten thousand. Thirty-four. According to pro-aborts, we should revoke the Second Amendment to deprive law-abiding citizens of the right to bear arms AND add “reproductive rights” (aka, abortion on demand at any time, for any reason) to the Constitution.

First, CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/w-4fnK3dH2I for a short one. If you’ve got the patience, CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWbkryYTRV8 [16:21] for a longer one. All the negotiating, deflection, and gaslighting are exactly what you get when the child’s “feelings” are the end all and be all. I’m guessing this brat’s parents let her have her own way over and over and over and over. And now she’s in handcuffs in the back of a police car facing multiple charges. BTW, the longer clip is worth watching just to see how amazing these cops are.

TRANS: A recently study entitled “Obstetrics and Gynecology: National Estimates of Gender-Affirming Surgery in the US” was published in JAMA OB/GYN. It reported that, from 2016 to 2020, a total of 48,019 patients underwent so-called Gender-Affirming Surgery (GAS).

13 to 40 years old: 21.8%

19 to 30 years old: 52.3%

12 to 18 years old: 7.7%

Breast and chest procedures: 56.6%

Genital reconstruction: 35.1%

Facial and cosmetic procedures: 13.9%.

VAXXX: Breakthrough cases among the vaxxxed started as early as January 2021. During the week ending July 31, 2021, in the 65+ cohort, 73% of the COVID-19 cases and 63% of the COVID-19 hospitalizations were fully vaccinated individuals. The CDC, the FDA and NIH higher-ups, including Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, Peter Marks, and Janet Woodcock knew this, yet continued to claim the serums were strongly protective against severe disease.

WAKE UP: I know my regular readers are wide awake. But if any of you know someone who is newly unwoke or on the verge of entering that blessed state, encourage them to watch this. It’s long, but that’s because it reveals years of corruption. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=984649642684669 [1:01:50].

GRAMMY NOTES: Mama Buzz had an issue with her credit card and texted that the bank guy “helped me make a list of all our autopsy!” I was all “wuh?” until the next sentence made it clear she’d hit the “s” instead of an “a” for “autopay.” Given that her credit card has been canceled and is now “dead”, I am LOLing.

Bits & Bytes

ASYMPTOMATIC INFECTIVITY: In July 2020, Fauci claimed, “There are a lot of people who are asymptomatic who are spreading infection. … we absolutely should be wearing masks consistently.

His claim was based on poorly designed studies that a new study says got it wrong. Published in the August issue of The Lancet’s Microbe journal, “Viral emissions into the air and environment after SARS-CoV-2 human challenge: a phase 1, open label, first-in-human study“ showed that, prior to experiencing symptoms, people who are infected with the ‘rona do not spread it to others.

CENSORSHIP: Dr. John Littell has regained his Florida board certification which was stripped because he had publicly criticized COVID vaccines. YouTube also frequently removed content from his channel for the same reason.

FAUCI: CLICK https://twitter.com/Liz_Wheeler/status/1698357079885353288 [2:51] to hear Tony “I AM THE SCIENCE” try to insist, “There Is No Doubt That Masks Work.” When a CNN anchor challenges him with the study linked below in “MASKS”, he is forced to admit that the old meme – “If you don’t wear a mask, you’re killing someone’s grandma” – is a Big Fat Lie. Mask mandates are useless for controlling an epidemic.

IVERMECTIN: On Friday, a federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled that the case brought by three doctors against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over its anti-ivermectin messaging can continue.

FDA is not a physician. It has authority to inform, announce, and apprise—but not to endorse, denounce, or advise. The Doctors have plausibly alleged that FDA’s Posts fell on the wrong side of the line between telling about and telling to. As such, the Doctors can use the APA to assert their ultra vires claims against the Agencies and the Officials.

The lawsuit was initially filed in June 2022 by Dr. Bowden, Drs. Robert L. Apter, and Paul E. Marik for interfering with both their authority to prescribe an approved medication and the doctor-patient relationship. All three alleged their reputations were harmed by the FDA campaign.

KJP: Karine Jean-Pierre never seems to refer to Joe Biden by his name. She always says, “This president.” And then she says stuff … with a straight face … like how he works so hard, etc. It has me wondering if “this president” isn’t Slow Joe, but whoever it is who is actually running the White House while Joe wanders around mumbling, taking naps, and going on endless vacations

MANDATES: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU9gYY602qg [6:35] to hear JP get you up to speed on how to deal with the next round of mandates.

MASKS: A new, highly sophisticated medical research review concludes, “There is just no evidence that they make any difference. Full stop.” The study, entitled “Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses (Review)” looked at 78 international studies about mask use in multiple clinical, public- and private-life settings. Even the tighter N95/P2 respirators make little or no difference in the overall rates of infections in a community.

I’m going out on a limb here and suggest that, if you have an active respiratory infection and you must leave your home for some reason, you’re probably doing the world a favor to cover your own mouth and nose with a mask. Ditto if you have an immune deficiency issue; I have been wearing 3M dust/mist/carbon masks in public since the mid-80s to limit my exposure to chemicals and germs. They’re not perfect, but they definitely do help.

NEW ZEALAND: In the face of public backlash, politicians are trying to rewrite history. Too bad for them that we have the internet. New Zealand’s Prime Minister Chris Hipkins claims, “There was no compulsory vaccination. People made their own choices.” BUT, is it really a choice if the consequence of choosing no is to lose your job?

The government of New Zealand mandated the ‘rona jab for all employees working in education, health care, or businesses where proof of vaccination was required for customers. Said employees had four whole weeks to get their shots and produce proof before being fired. Some employers were permitted to exempt employees from the mandate, meaning employees had no choice.

OREGON: Oregon’s new sex-ed guidelines are pretty insane. Kindergartners are encouraged to question their gender; first graders are expected to recognize and understand the uses for menstrual pads and tampons.

RASMUSSEN: When likely U.S. voters were asked, “Which is more important for America’s national security – getting the migrant crisis at the U.S. border under control, or supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia?”, 60% chose the border vs. 30% chose Ukraine vs. 10% chose Not Sure.

RFK Jr: After a lifetime of proclaiming himself a devout Catholic, Kennedy says he supports legal abortion, but only for the first three months. Not good enough, pal. Not nearly good enough.

TRUMP: I’m MAGA disappointed in Tucker Carlson for saying that Trump is too old to be president.
