FLORIDA: Constitution 1. Activist judge 0.

NORTH CAROLINA: The screenshot above is from a light rail surveillance video just moments before Decarlos Brown Jr. (34) abruptly stood up and stabbed Iryna Zarutska (23) to death. It happened so fast that nobody on the train noticed until they saw the blood that Brown’s knife dripped on the floor as he exited the train. That happened late on Friday, August 22, 2025, in Charlotte.

Brown is a Black man with a rap sheet; Zarutska is a blonde-and-blue Caucasian refugee from Ukraine. The national media ignored the crime until the Charlotte media released the video. Most of them are still ignoring the crime. Do I even need to mention the likelihood that they would be doing so if the man with the knife had been a Caucasian with a rap sheet and the woman had been an “undocumented migrant” of color?

PHILATELY: After World War II, Dearest’s Nonno and Nonna returned to the states from Italy. Several of their 8 daughters had already married Italian men and stayed. Their children and our children, who are second cousins, have visited here and there a number of times. One of them has agreed to purchase some of these stamps for mine and Mama Buzz’s stamp collections. :-)<3

CATHOLIC: [3:25]20] – The Holy Mass and canonizations celebrated by Pope Leo XIV of two young men were broadcast live.

  1. Carlo Acutis (1991–2006): a teenager from Milan, passionate about computer science, he used new media to spread the faith and love for the Eucharist. Beatified in 2020, he is a model of digital evangelization. This is the first time that the parents of a new saint attended their child’s canonization.
  2. Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901–1925): a young man from Turin, sportsman and mountain enthusiast, he stood out for his charity towards the poor and his joyful witness to the Gospel. Beatified in 1990, he is the patron of young people and students.

GRAMMY’S NOTES: [10:42] – When I was in discernment, my spiritual director sent me to a retreat. It was there, for the first time, that I encountered the idea that the idea that “vocation” could be applied not just to religious life, but to single and married lives. It was defined there as the lifestyle God called us to. I had thought that anyone who wanted as desperately as I did to belong wholly to God must be called to religious life. Yet the idea of that life did not make me happy. I am so grateful to have learned my error, because I was made to pursue holiness through marriage. I am now the very contented wife of 46 years, mother of three, and, now, mother-in-law of three and grandmother of ten. ❤

ARROGANCE: Zohran Mamdani is running for mayor of New York City. He’s called on the president of the United States to debate him. ::smh::

BABYLON BEE: Speculation has been swirling about President Donald Trump’s health, with some people even spreading wild rumors that he died over the weekend. What’s the real story?

The Babylon Bee has come up with the following list of undeniable signs that Trump’s health is going downhill:

  1. Trump has been occasionally posting in lowercase on social media, and his posts have been more coherent: This is not normal.
  2. He is sometimes seen sitting down: A sure sign of failing health. Obviously weak.
  3. He only managed to eat eight Big Macs today: It’s like he’s slowly fading away.
  4. The man’s frickin’ 80 or something: Obviously, anyone over 80 years old is at death’s door.
  5. Trump shakes hands with nobody, says nonsense, and wanders around aimlessly: Oh, wait, that was the last guy.
  6. He shot a mere 36 on the links this weekend: Sources close to Trump say he’s a shadow of his usual 24.
  7. He only works 23 hours a day now: A shocking decline in stamina.
  8. JD Vance beat him at Super Smash Bros. yesterday: This NEVER used to happen. Trump’s losing his touch.
  9. He introduced just 68 new tariffs in the last eight hours: This drop in productivity is concerning.
  10. Trump’s normally tangerine skin color is slowly fading to a burnt sienna hue: The end is near.

This is terrifying evidence. It’s obviously only a matter of time before Trump is out of commission. Did we miss any warning signs? Let us know in the comments.

The result of his research is contained in his book “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism — America’s Charity Divide — Who Gives, Who Doesn’t, and Why It Matters.”

Today’s Meditation from Christian Art

By Father Patrick van der Vorst

Gospel Reading: Luke 5:33-38

“At that time: The Pharisees and scribes said to him, ‘The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.’ And Jesus said to them, ‘Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.’ He also told them a parable: ‘No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.'”

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, better known to the world as Mother Teresa. Born in 1910 in Skopje (present-day North Macedonia), she entered the Loreto Sisters in Ireland as a young woman and soon moved to India, where she taught at a girls’ school in Calcutta. In 1946, during a train journey, she experienced what she later described as a “call within a call”: the deep conviction that Jesus was asking her to leave the security of her convent and dedicate herself to serving the poorest of the poor. With nothing but a simple white sari and a heart full of faith, she began walking the streets of Calcutta, tending to the sick, abandoned, and dying.

In time, others joined her, and the Missionaries of Charity were founded, growing into a worldwide order dedicated to serving the poor, sick and vulnerable. Mother Teresa became a global symbol of compassion, not because of great speeches or grand buildings, but because of her radical closeness to those whom society had cast aside. She tended wounds, lifted dying bodies off the streets, and reminded the forgotten that they were beloved children of God. For her, each suffering person was “Jesus in a distressing disguise” as she referred to. Her life was a living testimony that holiness is not found in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things with extraordinary love to ordinary people.

The Gospel for today speaks of the “new wine” of Jesus’ teaching that cannot be contained by old wineskins. Mother Teresa’s vocation was just such a new wine. She left behind the old wineskin of convent life and poured herself completely into the new mission God gave her. Her witness reminds us that the Gospel is always fresh, always challenging, always pushing us beyond comfort and convention. Like the new wine, God’s call can burst open our old patterns, leading us into unexpected places where His love is most needed.

Our watercolour by American artist John Alan Warford is beautiful in its simplicity: a tender, intimate scene of Mother Teresa gently tending to the wounds of a sick person.

FLORIDA: Florida’s surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, announced, “The Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governor, is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in Florida law. All of them. Every last one is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.

“Who am I, as a government, or anyone else, or who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your child should put in their body?

BORDER: CLICK https://x.com/i/status/1962634805373182405 to see the arrest of Ezequiel Cruz-Rodriguez (47) at the home where his wife operates a daycare. Cruz-Rodriguez is not only an illegal alien with three prior removals on his record, he is also a documented member of the Logan Heights gang which is composed of immigrants from Mexico and has links to Mexican drug cartels. Even worse, the scumbag is a convicted child sex offender.

While I was surfing for a good photo for this blerb, I discovered the MSN link to “ICE agents detain sex offender living in San Diego home day care” goes to a story about a hit and run accident. I created a compiled screenshot (above). See “VAXXINES” below for another Slime Stream Media cover up.

CONSTITUTION: A comedian was arrested at Heathrow Airport for having posted negative tweets about trannies. An in Australia, a woman has been convicted by a judge who declared, “I am satisfied that the defendant unlawfully vilified the Plaintiff … when she referred to the plaintiff as a male or a man.” We need to protect our 2d Amendment rights, so we can defend our 1st Amendment rights!

DEMOCRATS: Where was she when Biden couldn’t put together a coherent sentence?

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD: [5:11] – On August 25, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that he had fired Lisa Cook from her position on the Federal Reserve Board for what he says was “deceitful and potentially criminal conduct.”

Cook was one of Joe Biden’s DEI hires; she was only confirmed after a 50–50 vote was broken by VP Harris. In addition to her academic fraud, Cook has also been accused of committing mortgage fraud. As we’ve seen with two other prominent Democrats, she has claimed two different properties were her primary residences in order to gain more preferable terms. One of the properties is in Michigan, while the other is in Georgia.

MEDIA: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1962558876747727270 to hear Anderson Cooper then and now. Suuuuuuuuuuuure, “nobody” who targeted Trump was “personally motivated”! I totally buy that. /sarc

TRANS: [5:46] – I hope she sues and wins. Doctors need malpractice insurance which rates are dictated by the risk to the insurance company. The more successful, big ticket suits that happen, the higher the rates, the less the incentive for money-grubbing doctors to con parents into wrecking their kids’ lives.

VAXXXINES: After I CLICKed https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1962645215992254575 [:43] to hear Tony Fauci, I tried to track down some evidence that he was actually talking about mRNA vaccines.

BABYLON BEE: In Clue: Liberal Edition, 3-6 players must solve the mysterious murder of Mr. Boddy, a cisgender white health insurance CEO, and compete to be the first one to blame the murder weapon.

When asked who the perpetrator of the murder was, Clue: Liberal Edition‘s designer Adrian Rance responded, “Perpetrator? Those don’t exist. The weapons — and only the weapons — are to blame.”

At publishing time, Hasbro revealed that Clue: Liberal Edition was set for release this fall and will retail for $29.99, plus a $19.99 tariff fee.

CDC: In August, Drs. Paul Thomas and Kenneth P. Stoller and Stand for Health Freedom filed a lawsuit in federal court, over the lack of testing for the CDC’s childhood immunization schedule. The vaccines are evaluated only on short-term, individual risk, never on the combined effects and accumulating dangers.

This reminds me of when I was pregnant with #3 when I had to have seven amniocentesis procedures to track the progression of her Rh disease. Each time, I was handed a consent form stating I understood that the procedure caused 1% of pregnancies to miscarry. Later on in the pregnancy, I asked, “What happens to this 1% with multiple procedures? Does it go up?” The staff member shrugged and said, “Nobody knows. There aren’t enough women who need so many to evaluate that.”

Well, they certainly can’t say this about kids who have had dozens of vaccine doses injected into them.

EVAN BARKER: Evan Barker entered politics early in life. As an ardent Democrat, she worked for Hillary, Barack, and Bernie. On August 24th, 2024, she left the party.

“In the past year, nearly all of my old political friends have stopped speaking to me. One of them said: “fascism doesn’t look good on you”, another said “why couldn’t you have waited until after the election?” The social ostracism has trickled out into my non political life, too. I’ve lost friends I’ve known for fifteen years. My toddler stopped getting invited to birthday parties. He was rejected from preschool. We even had to move to a new town.”

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Fill our hearts with peace and gratitude for the specific lives You chose for each of us. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH: [1:58] – Mouse studies offer real hope.

BIDEN: [7:57] – An update on the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Slow Joe’s fitness.

CRIME: From 1878 to 1967, Washington, D.C. was administered by a three-member Board of Commissioners with both legislative and executive authority, all appointed by the President. The board comprised one Democrat, one Republican, and one civil engineer with no specified party. The three Commissioners would then elect one of their number to serve as president of the board. While not quite analogous to the role of a mayor, the president of the board was the district’s Chief Executive. The last time a Republican held that position was from 1956 to 1961.

ELECTIONS: Some Democrats are expressing concern over the idea that ICE could or would patrol voting stations. But the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996” says in Section 215 that undocumented immigrants who attempt to vote should be deported.

FBI: Operation Summer Heat arrested 220 violent offenders last week, bringing the total to over 5,700 since the operation began in June.

NEWSCUM: [6:07] – Three of the bills he signed have been struck down on basic constitutional grounds.

PRAYERS: Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani (81) has suffered a fractured vertebrae and lacerations in a car crash. His spokesman said he is in “good spirits and recovering tremendously” and will “be released in a few days.” Also, “This was not a targeted attack. We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories.”

SCIENCE: The photo above appeared in my FB timeline with the following –

THE ONLY BIRD THAT DARES TO ATTACK AN EAGLE IS A CROW, BUT THE EAGLE NEVER FIGHTS BACK. HERE IS WHY:

  1. The crow is the only bird bold enough to sit on the eagle’s back and peck at its neck. Relentless. Annoying. But the eagle… stays calm.
  2. The eagle doesn’t flap. Doesn’t fight. Doesn’t waste energy. It does one thing: It rises.
  3. The higher the eagle soars. The thinner the air becomes. The crow? It can’t handle the altitude.
  4. Eventually, the crow gasps. Loses strength…And falls off. Not because the eagle attacked But because the eagle ascended.
  5. Let the crows talk. Let them peck. You don’t have to respond. Just keep going higher.
  6. They can’t follow you forever. Your growth will suffocate their noise. So don’t engage. Elevate.

I thought it sounded fishy. Why would such a large bird be able to handle thinner air than a smaller bird? So I asked Grok. It turns out there is no scientific or ornithological evidence that an eagle can foil a crow attack by rising to an altitude too high for the crow to breathe. The corvid in the photo is actually part of a group that is driving the eagle away from its young. The behavior is called “mobbing.” As an allegory, the behavior works better as an illustration of communities working together to protect children from predators.
