BABYLON BEE: [3:51] – Pre-Elon HR training. LOL

CHICOMS: [13:20] – The idiots running this country have decided they can order the COVID-19 virus into extinction … ignoring the fact that it can be transmitted between animals and humans, which means it’s endemic. They’re still enforcing lockdowns that are so draconian that people were literally burned alive in their homes because fire fighters couldn’t get to them. There are heart-breaking videos posted at the link. Is it any wonder mass protests have broken out? Sadly, Chinese citizens can’t respond effectively to their tyrannical government, because they have no right to bear arms.

DOE: A senior official in the Biden Energy Department has been charged with felony theft for stealing a $2,325 designer suitcase from the luggage carousel. Airport video surveillance shows Sam Brinton, Biden’s first non-binary appointee, taking the suitcase off the carousel and removing its ID tag. LEOs observed Brinton using the suitcase during at least two subsequent trips. Brinton, who is on leave from the DOE, still has the suitcase, but claims he/she/it didn’t “steal” it.

HAWAII: As Mauna Loa spews ash and lava, Mauna Kea is covered with snow and ice!

MASKS: During the hours-long deposition of Anthony Fauci, he was unable to cite a single study to back up his support for mask mandates.

TRANS: In addition to godless pro-trans “chaplains”, Wisconsin’s Children’s Hospital “Gender Health Clinic” offers wrong-sex hormones and surgical mutilations for minors. They also readily prescribed allegedly “reversible” puberty blockers (off-label) at first visits, despite the fact that nobody knows what the long-term effects are.

BLASPHEMY: I’m posting the link here, but I confess I barely skimmed the article. Just the headline made me want to barf.

DEPROGRAMMED: An heiress talks about her happy, traditional upbringing and how the woke indoctrination at Mount Holyoke College turned her into a bitter, prejudiced bitch with a drinking problem. Her family eventually hired a deprogrammer.

HAWAII: The USGS has put a “WARNING, Color Code: RED” on the volcano on Mauna Loa. The last time it erupted was in 1984. the region has also suffered more than a dozen earthquakes of more than 2.5 magnitude.

GRAMMY NOTES: I’ve often thought that this commandment gets way too little attention. I mean, suppose God spoke the commands in Exodus 20 in the way ingredients on a food label are listed – i.e., from biggest to smallest? That would put “Don’t use My Name in vain” ahead of murder! (It also puts “Honor your parents” ahead of murder, but that’s a discussion for another time.)

At Catholic Exchange, Brian Kranick writes about the power of the holy name of God as experienced by exorcists. “Demons generally do not and cannot say holy names. Instead, they call Jesus ‘he’ or ‘your Boss.’” Indeed, when an exorcist orders a demon to do something “in the name of Jesus,” the demon must submit! Clearly, there is power here.

So why do we use these holy names so carelessly?! Maybe we could all try what Kranick suggests, which is to not just watch our own mouths, but also to pray for others who misuse holy names. For example, if someone exclaims, “Oh my God” or “Jesus Christ”, add “have mercy on us.”

Trent Horn on Martin Luther

I’ve never actually looked at Luther’s famous “95 Theses” before. When I did, I was surprised to see that while he condemned the selling of indulgences for less than admirable causes, he did not quibble about the efficacy of indulgences.

His main concern seemed to be that some people were merely handing money over to the church and then ignoring the need for true repentance and true penance. IOW, he was worried that this corrupt, off-hand selling of indulgences was leading some souls to potentially lose Heaven through complacency.

Many years ago, I read three biographies of Martin Luther, one by a Catholic, one by a Lutheran, and one by a secular historian. I may have this 100% wrong, but my big take away was that he didn’t intend to create a new religion. It seems to me that Protestantism only happened because the Bishop of Rome had abused his spiritual authority in a bid to be the de facto Emperor of Europe.

The German princes were fed up with being threatened by excommunication and interdiction and jumped on Luther’s ideas, because they provided the theological means to neutralize the power of the Vatican. If they hadn’t elevated Luther into an anti-Catholic superstar, I think Father Martin would’ve been one more priest calling for needed reforms.

Happy New Year!

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, which is the beginning of the liturgical calendar. Through the cycle of the liturgical year, the mystery of Christ unfolds, celebrating all He did for us and calling us again and again to live more fully, more deeply, with Him, in Him, and through Him.

Advent is a season of preparation for celebrating the first coming of Jesus, in the Nativity, but it is also a season for preparing for His second coming, in the Apocalypse. The readings for today’s Mass (graphic and link below) are all about the End Times.

Interestingly, the Gospel reading includes my favorite Rapture passage: “So will it be also 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. Therefore, stay awake!” – Matthew 24:39-41

I’ve heard Catholics pooh-poohing Rapture teachings, saying the passages cited refer to the Final Judgment. But Jesus Himself told us (Matt 25:31-46) that, at the very end, everyone will be compelled to appear before the Throne. I don’t see how that can be the same event He spoke of in Matthew 24, when the angels will go out and gather the elect, leaving some behind.

SUNDAY NEWS: Yeah, no. The holiday weekend isn’t over yet!

GRAMMY NOTES: This reminds me of a time when a bachelor friend visited on his way home from helping his sister out after childbirth. He had been largely in charge of a 2 yo for a week. His summary: “It’s a good thing they’re so adorable when they’re asleep.”

COVID-19: A new study confirms what we here already knew, which is that promoting Vitamin D supplementation and telling people to get outside in the sun would have saved lives.

A team of researchers from multiple institutions – including Johns Hopkins, the Universities of Michigan and Illinois, and the National Bureau of Economic Research – found that D2 reduced ‘rona infection by 28%, while D3 reduced it by 20%. Among those who caught the bug, D2 reduced mortality by 25%, while D3 reduced it 33%. The study noted that, although at least half of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D, supplementation is affordable, widely available, and safe in appropriate doses.

If you supplement, take your D with the meal that has the largest proportion of fat. This will greatly improve your body’s ability to absorb and utilize the vitamin. Also, keep an eye on your totals. D is among the fat soluble vitamins, meaning your body will store rather than excrete any excess. Long term hyper-supplementation can lead to toxicity and I’m noticing more blends are including D and some of the amounts are at or above the safety line.

You may want to ask your doctor to include Vitamin D in your annual blood work; despite widespread deficiency and the importance of this vitamin to your immune system, testing is not routinely done. The first time I asked for it, my primary warned that my insurance might not cover it. However, I never got a bill and he has included it ever since.

DETRANS: Camille Kiefel is the second ex-trannie I’ve heard about who is suing the people who shoved her into a double mastectomy. Her complaint says the defendants “abused their positions of professional trust and authority with intent to cause, or with reckless disregard.”

DISNEY: They spent $180 million making it. Its first five days in theaters brought in less than $24 million.

FAUCI: The Attorneys General for Louisiana and Missouri deposed St. Tony as part of their landmark lawsuit against the federal government for colluding with social media companies to censor speech. Prior to the deposition, Landry had said he hoped to find out how involved Fauci had been in censoring what we were allowed to know during the pandemic. Sadly, the man once hailed as “the most important, consequential public servant in the United States in the last half century” was unable to remember what the hell he did or did not do during the pandemic.

GERMANY: The Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig has ruled that Bavaria’s restrictions on movement during the coronavirus crisis were “a serious interference with fundamental rights” and “not compatible with the principle of proportionality.”

LIFE: The UK Guardian is under fire for publishing deliberate misinformation about early fetal development in an obvious bid to promote abortion. The photo above is one of a series presented in the article. All of them were labeled as “pregnancy tissue” from various early stages of gestation. None of them included the fetus.

MEDIA: Following the deadly shooting at Club Q, the Left Stream rushed to cast the shooter as a right-winger who had been inflamed to hate by other right-wingers. Once the shooter’s identity as one of their own came out, the Left lost interest in the story.

CLICK https://rumble.com/v1wokoo-cnn-anchor-speechless-as-she-reports-gay-club-shooter-is-non-binary.html [1:08] to hear CNN anchors claim the shooter is just preparing his defense.

Funny thing how they’re reacting, given their “how dare you question” attitude toward sex felons and mediocre male athletes who claim to be women. Why is it okay to question the shooter as “just preparing a defense” when those other two categories are just as likely to be faking it so they can be housed with preferred prey or win trophies and score scholarships?

MOSQUITOES: Scientists have modified male mosquitoes and let them loose to mate with wild females. Their female offspring inherit a gene that prevents them from maturing, when they would otherwise start biting humans and spreading deadly diseases. A pilot release showed the local mosquito population was decreased by 96% over 11 months.

One hopes scientists will be cautious about employing widespread release of these males, since mosquitoes are important pollinators for thousands of plant species and serve as an important food source for birds and many aquatic species.

Left vs. Right

This is what the FAUXTUS White House sent out before Thanksgiving, because apparently picking fights is what Dems think family holidays should be about.

I think I’ll file that piece of caca under “If Trump Had Done It.” And, here is an excellent rebuttal that appeared in the New York Post.

Cardiac surgeon Lloyd W. Rudy was dean of the Heart Program at the University of Georgia School of Medicine and a member of the first heart transplant team at Stanford University. One Christmas Day, one of his patients suffered an aneurysm and died. Dr. Rudy filled out the death certificate, notified the man’s wife, and shut down the machines. Then he and his surgical assistant took off their jackets, gloves, and masks, while talking about what else they could have done.

For some reason, a machine that measured certain body functions, like BP, did not get shut off. In addition, they had inserted a microphone into his body and that continued to record as well. Both showed no signs of life for about 20 to 25 minutes. Then, suddenly, they started showing activity again.

The patient had spontaneously come alive again. It took him a couple of days to regain consciousness, but he eventually made a full recovery without any sign of brain damage. Later, he described the usual bright light at the end of a tunnel.

But he also accurately described where the two surgeons had been talking, their position in the room and how they stood with arms folded over their chests. He described how the anesthesiologist had entered the room and how a nurse’s computer monitor had had a row of post-it notes on it, with some stuck over others.

Not only had he been clinically dead when these things occurred, but he had also still had his eyes taped shut from the surgery. And the description of the room where the doctors talked was seen from above, not from where his body was lying in the bed.

ASU: [5:22] – Kudos to Arizona State University for not caving to these two Black Karens. Their idiocy is plain in their condemnation of Kyle Rittenhouse for “murdering” (the jury ruled it was self-defense) “people of color” (both of the guys Rittenhouse shot were white).

BABYLON BEE: Californians move to Texas, Episode 5 [6:04].

CHIEF TWIT: I am delighted with the policy changes he’s made so far, but underwhelmed that his gravatar shows him in his “servant of satan” costume. Let’s all bombard him with prayer, okay?

ELECTION: November 8 has already had big consequences for Berkeley County, North Carolina students. At their first meeting, the new board fired the district’s superintendent and attorney, hired new ones, banned CRT, and created a board to review library books for pornographic content.

FAUCI: Thank the good Lord, he is finally GONE. St. Tony used his final WH presser yesterday to lie to us all once again about the safety and effectiveness of the ‘rona jabs.

While he will be out of power, he will not be out of the news. Today, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry are deposing him in their lawsuit against the federal government for allegedly colluding with social media companies to censor speech.

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki may be next. Missouri and Louisiana filed this landmark lawsuit in May of 2022 and have since received discovery showing that the federal government and the Biden Administration have worked with social media companies to censor speech on topics like COVID-19 and other issues.

FIBONACCI DAY: In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is one in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. When the sequence begins with 1, it goes 1, 1, 2, 3 etc. IOW, November 23.

MEASLES: Excerpts from the articles linked below are posted here as a compare/contrast with the ‘rona jab – Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known to man. In the decade before 1963 when a vaccine became available, nearly all children got measles by the time they were 15 years of age.

In the United States before the vaccine, there were about 3 to 4 million reported cases per year; of these, about 48,000 required hospital care, 1,000 got encephalitis, and 400-500 died. Nowadays, the CDC estimates that 1 in 4 cases needs hospitalization, 1 in 1,000 get encephalitis, and 1-2 per 1,000 die. Since 2000, the annual number of reported measles cases in the U.S. ranged from a low of 37 (2004) to a high of 667 (2014). The last measles death in the United States occurred in 2015.

Surviving an infection and getting two doses of the vaccine appear to confer lifelong immunity for the majority. However, breakthrough infections do occur, with the duration of protection being longer for acquired immunity than for vaccination. An estimated 5% of vaccinated children lose their immunity between 10 and 15 years after vaccination.

VAXXX: The FAUXTUS administration is embarking on a “six week push” to get more people jabbed, claiming the still-experimental, gene-therapy, not-a-vaccine toxin reduces the risk of hospitalization and death. However, in August 2022, the majority of COVID-19 deaths (58%) were among people who had received at least one jab. Based on past figures and current trends, we can reasonably estimate this to rise.
