CAUGHT IN PROVIDENCE: [5:09] – It’s obvious where Judge Caprio got his big heart!

CLIMATE CHANGE: I have long thought that the Global Elitists intended to use this scam to infringe on national sovereignty in their quest to establish a one world government. A recent ludicrous example appeared on “CBS Mornings” reporting on a recent study that blamed climate change for childhood obesity. Yeah. No. I’d say it’s more like way too much time spent staring at a screen and eating junk food.

DEMOCRATS: You did this. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jccSvVC3VGA and https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Xr6k6a4CrG8 and https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1h-AwaagA8k.

N.b., according to the PDR info sheet for Lupron (link), the drug is not approved for “gender affirming care.” IOW, doctors who prescribe it are using it off label. Hmm, where have we recently seen Lefties getting their panties in a major wad over doctors using drugs off label to treat … oh, I dunno … COVID?

So, what crime is Trump guilty of? He’s a Republican. How did Hillary Clinton evade prosecution? She’s a Democrat. It’s just that simple.” – Ian McKelvey

GOD ALONE: A new study by Lifeway Research lists the following as the top idols drawing Christians away from God – Comfort, control, security, money, approval, success, social influence, political power, sex, romantic love.

INFLATION: CLICK https://rumble.com/v1fw0hr-new-democrat-talking-point-inflation-isnt-real.html [:19] to hear Squad Rep. Tlaib assure us that “inflation” is just a “theoretical word economists use” and what matters is the “up or down of costs.” Why don’t I feel better?

IRS: With Build Back Worse, the Dems’ supercharged IRS will wring $20 Billion more out of Americans who make less than $400K.

PRAY THE ROSARY: Exorcists tell us that demons hate the rosary, so it’s no surprise that, on Sunday, “How the Rosary Became an Extremist Symbol” by Daniel Panneton appeared in The Atlantic.

Just as the AR-15 rifle has become a sacred object for Christian nationalists in general, the rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or ‘rad trad’) Catholics. … On this extremist fringe, rosary beads have been woven into a conspiratorial politics and absolutist gun culture. These armed radical traditionalists have taken up a spiritual notion that the rosary can be a weapon in the fight against evil and turned it into something dangerously literal.”

Well, yeah. I do take the power of the rosary literally. Mary keeps telling us, in apparition after apparition after apparition, for centuries now, to PRAY IT, because it’s powerful.

Prior to the reformation in the 16th Century, Christianity and Catholicism were one and the same. In other words, Catholics didn’t invent asking Mary and the Saints to pray for us; Protestants dropped these practices. Then, somewhere along the line, Protestants began condemning the Hail Mary and the rosary as “vain repetition”, which Jesus condemned. But the problem isn’t with the repetition part, but with the “vain” part, which in this context means “in an irreverent or blasphemous manner, lacking substance or worth.”

SERATONIN: [15:52] – Dr. Campbell reports on a new study showing that everything the medical community has taught, believed, and acted on with regard to depression is 100% wrong.

TRANS: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ddn18oVfD1I to hear a trannie talk about the problems he’s had because of his transition. “I’m a biological woman. … I will never be a man.

GRAMMY NOTES: “Scammer payback” YouTube is a wonderful channel. I got a message on my machine today that my bank account had been frozen due to unusual activity. Because I have been watching “Scammer payback,” I didn’t freak out. Instead, I listened carefully to the phone number they wanted me to call and realized the area code was wrong. Scam!

I checked my account online just to be sure; my account is not frozen. If I’d called, they would’ve wanted me to log in to my online account and let them have access to it. Don’t ever do that!! When in doubt, call your bank through their legit phone number and ask to talk to their fraud department. They really don’t want you to get scammed.

BORDER: On Friday, Arizona state officials announced they will use state funds to build a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

BUILD BACK WORSE: They passed it and of course FAUXTUS will sign it. CLICK https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1558501714860310529 [:11] to hear Fancy Nancy celebrate how it will help keep Mother Earth from being angry with us.

END TIMES PROPHECY: In his private revelations from God the Father, Mystic Father Michel Rodrigue has been given the outline of what will take place around 45 days after the Warning [6:10].

OUR LADY OF LICHEN: In 1813, a Polish soldier was gravely injured while fighting far from home. He prayed and asked the Holy Virgin to allow him to live long enough to die in Poland. The Holy Mother appeared to him, wearing a crown, an amaranth (reddish-pink) dress and a gold mantle. She was hugging a white eagle, the symbol of Poland. She comforted the soldier, assured him he would be healed and return safely to Poland. She told him to find a picture of her and place it in a public area for veneration. Soon after he fulfilled this obligation, he died.

In 1850, she appeared in the same form before a farmer who was pasturing his cattle near the area where the picture was hanging on a tree. She called for people to come to conversion, penance, and prayer. She predicted the cholera epidemic that began two years later. She promised, “When hard days will come, those people who will come in front of this picture and will pray and do penance, will not die. Whenever this nation will come to Me and ask for help, I will never leave this nation, and I will protect this nation, and I clasp this nation to My heart like I did with this White Eagle.”

She asked that the little picture the soldier had hung on a tree be moved to a more appropriate place. It was framed and a great basilica now houses it. Whoever prayed in front of this picture received graces and did not become ill or die. Those who were already ill or dying recuperated. The Roman Catholic Church investigated these claims of miraculous healing and, by 1939, had documented around 3,000 of them.

ROY MOORE: A federal jury has found a Democrat super PAC guilty of defaming Roy Moore and awarded the former sheriff and U.S. Senate candidate $8 million in damages. The case is about a 30-second ad that Dems ran nearly 1,000 times on television networks in Alabama during Moore’s 2018 unsuccessful U.S. Senate bid. The ad accused Moore of soliciting sex from young girls, despite the fact that the very source they cite in the ad refuted the claim.

SATANISM: [7:10] – They’ve been doing this stuff in plain sight for years. Read the article.

SYSTEMIC RACISM: [12:00] – Just look at what People Of Color have to put up with in this, the Worst Nation On Earth. /sarc

TRUMP: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=587535576166499 [8:17] to hear the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee talk about what they’re doing. The CNN talking head really didn’t like his attitude “but but but” LOL.

If there were atomic secrets, and the FBI was aware of their existence at Mar-a-Lago, why did they wait 18 months for a search warrant? We’re dealing with serial and systemic incompetence or political persecution.” – Matt Vespa

GRAMMY NOTES: While praying a rosary with Dearest, I got this picture in my head about what I could do to prepare for after the Warning. Cuz it’s not just about “Ooh, what’s going to happen to ME?!” It’s also about, “How can I prepare to help shell-shocked new and renewed believers during the six weeks of peace?” What I saw in my mind was a little table at the end of our driveway with a basket of rosaries on top. I talked with Mama Buzz and we went halvsies on bundles of 100 each rosaries and “How to Pray the Rosary” pamphlets. She and the kids packed them into zippy bags and I’m getting my half in a few days.

COVID-19: On Thursday, the CDC updated their ‘rona rules by a whole lot. They are no longer recommending testing “asymptomatic people without known exposures”, letting people make their own decisions about social distancing, and treating those who are “not up to date on COVID-19 vaccines” the same as those who are fully jabbed. In addition, people who catch the ‘rona only have to isolate for 5 days and individuals exposed to them do not need to isolate as long as they are asymptomatic.

END TIMES PROPHECY: [24:10] – Fifty years ago, Archbishop Fulton Sheen predicted what is happening now.

FAUXCAHONTAS: Politico has a column up claiming that the only reason Elizabeth Warren didn’t win the 2020 Democratic nomination is because she is lacking a prostate. Supposedly, in the hours following the January 2020 Iowa Caucus, she talked with the reporter that NBC had following her campaign. Speaking “with a characteristically biting edge in her voice … as if all the annoyance and frustration she had about the political system simmered right on the edge of her words, teeming on the top of her teeth, threatening to spill over”, she claimed ‘Everyone comes up to me and says, ‘I would vote for you, if you had a penis.’

GEORGIA: On August 1, the state’s Department of Revenue announced that the parents of “any unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat [are] eligible for the Georgia individual income tax dependent exemption.”

LAS VEGAS: After two major floods in two weeks, the Las Vegas Strip has suffered major water damage. Is it okay to be happy that sin city will be shut down for a while? CLICK https://twitter.com/SeanSable/status/1557951942843805696 [:27].

LIZ CHENEY: When Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) took office in 2017, she was worth a paltry $7 million. Today she is worth more than $44 million. Oh, and she is ashamed of “her” party (not your party Liz!) for being upset about the FBI raiding Trump’s home. A number of tweeters responded, “We’re ashamed of her too.” Twitchy said, “Liz couldn’t do more to nuke her campaign if she tried.” It won’t be long now, cuz she’s 30 points behind her primary opponent for next Tuesday’s election.

OUR LADY OF LA VANG: On August 17, 1798, King Canh Thinh of Vietnam ordered the extermination of Catholicism. Many Catholic fled into La Vang, a deep forest in central Vietnam, to avoid the king’s men. There they had to deal with hunger, cold, sickness, and wild animals.

The Blessed Virgin Mary began appearing to them in 1798; she was dressed in a long gown, was holding a newborn in her arms, and had two angels holding lights on either side of her. She taught the people to pick leaves that were available in the area and boil them with water to heal the disease plaguing them. And she promised “From now onwards, whoever comes to invoke me in this place, I will accept and bless them.”

The persecution lasted until 1886. During those difficult years, Mary appeared many times to support and comfort the faithful. Many Catholics were burned alive because they refused to give up their faith. After the persecution ended, the bishop ordered the construction of a church to honor Our Lady of Lavang. Later, she was declared the patroness of Vietnam.

PELOSI: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=461378212512155 [3:42] if you can stand to listen to her lie. I only got through 1:33 before my BP hit the roof. We don’t know the seriousness of the documents Shrillary DELETED either, now do we? And those oh-so-important laws against the improper handling of classified documents was IGNORED for her. So shut up.

PERSECUTION: Last weekend, Islamic terrorists murdered a 36-year-old priest in one parish and robbed women at gunpoint in another. Both churches are in Kikwit in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In Nicaragua, Marxist dictator Daniel Ortega has upped his war on the Catholic Church, shutting down all eight Catholic radio stations in the country and blockading Catholic facilities in two parishes. In less than four years, the Catholic Church in Nicaragua has been the target of 190 attacks and desecrations, including a fire in the Managua Cathedral.

Monsignor Silvio Baez, who had been stabbed and beaten, fled the country in 2019. In March of this year, Ortega expelled the pope’s emissary. And last month, Ortega expelled the Missionaries of Charity, the order founded by St. Teresa of Calcutta to give “wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor.

Half the population of Nicaragua is Catholic, but Pope Francis has yet to comment. Agustin Antonetti, director of Latin America Watch, said, “Pope Francis’ silence on what’s going on in Nicaragua is scandalous. Daniel Ortega’s dictatorship is taking the churches by force, they have shut down all their channels and radios, even one priest is in jail, and the rest are afraid of being kidnapped.”

PRO-ABORT LIES: In the video (actually a podcast, nothing to watch), a board-certified OB/GYN explains the hows and whys of the Left’s offensive lies. [46:12] – It’s important to remember that, for Lefties, anything done in service to the agenda is automatically good. That being said, we should not be surprised at all that this document from Jane’s Army about the many sins of Anti-Choicers is riddled with lies and nonsense. I’m guessing the fact that I self-identify as “anti-abortion” wouldn’t matter to them, since respect for others ends the minute you cross any one of their many infinitely mutable red lines.

TRUMP: CLICK https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1558275061060194314 [:55] to hear the statement from Trump’s lawyer that Trump had a standing order in place that any documents he removed from the Oval Office were automatically deemed declassified.

VAXXX: A not-yet-peer-reviewed study out of Thailand found about a third of the 314 teenagers (13-18) studied suffered suffered subclinical cardiovascular problems after receiving the Pfizer ‘rona jab. These included tachycardia, palpitation, chest pain, hypertension, myopericarditis, pericarditis and suspected subclinical myocarditis.

A retrospective French study found that the rate of hospitalization with serious myocarditis following vaccination among 18–24 year-old males was one every 5,900 second Moderna doses and one every 21,100 second Pfizer doses.

The Thai study shows how much more frequent subclinical cardiovascular events are than these serious clinical events. In each Thai case, the problems resolved fairly quickly. However, the possibility these kids suffered hidden heart injuries remains.

AMERICA: The State of the Union by Patriot USA @lorraine01640 – “We are in a recession, January 6 wasn’t an insurrection, COVID didn’t originate in a wet market, Jussie Smollett wasn’t the victim of a hate crime, Kavanaugh wasn’t a gang rapist, Biden didn’t get 81mm votes, men can’t get pregnant, Hunters laptop isn’t Russian disinformation.

Systematic racism no longer exist in America unless it’s fabricated. Hillary Clinton was given the answers to the debait and payed no penalty. Trump never said to drink Clorox or disinfectant, yet unhealthy media took the opportunity to mislead their following rather educate them to the science he spoke of. To this day Bigfoot has more eyewitnesses and credibility than Christine Blasey Fords allegations.

Biden has not had one accomplishment of value for all Americans in 48 years of public service. January 6th is a nothing burger Formally known as the Russia collusion nothing burger. Repackaged as the Ukraine call and impeachment nothing burger. Yet the media still willfully and deliberately manipulates and controls those who don’t understand basic civics and the Constitution.”

END TIMES PROPHECY: Garabandal visionaries Mari Loli and Jacinta have said that a “communist tribulation” will precede the Warning and that the Warning will come when “conditions are at their worst,” not only because of persecution, but also because many people will have “abandoned their religion.” I think we’re there.

Communist tribulation” – COVID-19 was created in and released on the world by the ChiComs.

Abandoned religion” – Polls show that in America and around the world, belief in God is at a record low, while atheism is at a record high.

When conditions are at their worst”Until recently, persecuted peoples all over the world could look at the U.S.A. as a shining light, a place where God’s Truths were honored and Christians could worship Him freely. Now, the ChiComs have apparently taken over the Democratic Party, which has infiltrated and dominated our government, as well as our legal, educational, and media institutions.

Time is getting short. Please go read “Get yourselves prayed up, people!” and ask God what you should be doing to prepare @ https://polination.wordpress.com/2022/06/16/get-yourselves-prayed-up-people/.

HILLARY: The raid on Trump’s home was supposedly about finding evidence that he improperly handled classified documents. But Hillary absolutely did that in a YUGE way and got less than a slap on the wrist. So guess what she’s doing now? Using the Trump raid to sell merch tooting her emails! Is this the biggest FY ever or what?!

ISLAMIC EXTREMISM: CLICK https://rumble.com/v1fhpyj-tipping-point-houston-muslim-kids-pledge-allegiance-to-iranian-leader.html [7:09] to see a large group of young Texan Muslims pledging to die as soldiers in service to the leader of Iran. Brigitte Gabriel comments.

MERRICK GARLAND: CLICK https://twitter.com/theblaze/status/1557806558880452613 [:17] to see Biden’s AG admit he personally signed off on the Mar-a-Lago raid. This is the same man who sicced the FBI on parents at school board meetings, whom he called “terrorists” because, you know, they were angry. Which is unacceptable.

It’s very simple really. Republicans are evil; therefore, angry Republicans are dangerous. By contrast, Democrats are good; therefore, angry Democrats are righteous. That’s why they didn’t need to socially distance during the pandemic. Their righteous anger made them immune to the virus! It didn’t protect all the property they destroyed, but what the hey.

PELOSI: CLICK https://rumble.com/v1fdpr9-pathetic-pelosi-thinks-china-is-one-of-the-freest-societies-in-the-world.html [:31] to hear proof that the ChiComs own the Democrats. I took her up on her challenge.

The map above is from Freedom House, which ranks the freedom of a nation with a 100 point scale, according to the guidelines set out by the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. China got 9 out of 100. Three nations got 100 out of 100; another 31 got between 91 and 99.

Another freedom ranking system, employed by World Population Review, puts China at 150th among the 165 nations it studies.

SCOTT PERRY: Rubio isn’t kidding about the Left going after Trump supporters (below). Just one day after the Mar-a-Lago raid, three FBI agents confiscated a pro-Trump congressman’s phone!

They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish. I’m outraged — though not surprised — that the FBI under the direction of Merrick Garland’s DOJ, would seize the phone of a sitting Member of Congress. My phone contains info about my legislative and political activities, and personal/private discussions with my wife, family, constituents, and friends. None of this is the government’s business.” – Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA)

Perry is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and objected to the certification of the election results on January 6, 2021. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 committee has subpoenaed Perry but he has declined to answer questions.

TRUMP RAID: Truth. [5:33] – Laura Ingraham called this Rubio’s finest appearance since he stepped on the national stage.

1A: A Christian school in Tampa, Florida, has won its lawsuit against the federal government. The FAUX administration tried to expand Title IX to include sexual orientation and gender identity, thereby denying schools that refuse to preach the Left’s dogma from receiving federal funds. The school’s case involved the government withholding funds to provide free meals for the 56 low-income students attending the school.

ANTI-CATHOLIC: A Catholic Church in Denver sustained thousands of dollars in damage in two drive-by shootings on August 6 and 8. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

DETROIT: This city has the second highest violent crime rate and the sixth highest murder rate in the country. But the management at a vegan (of course) ice cream shop is seriously bothered by the “intimidating” impression that police body armor projects, so she won’t serve them. In response, a former Detroit LEO paid an ice cream truck to give out free ice creams to uniformed officers for four hours. Later that same day, a 5-year veteran of the department was killed in the line of duty.

END TIMES PROPHECY: Conchita, one of the Garabandal visionaries, said the Blessed Mother told her one of the signal events marking the End Times would be a visit by the pontiff to Moscow. No pope has ever gone there.

This year, Pope Francis has said he is determined to do so. On March 16, he had a video conference with the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow and last week, on August 5, he met privately at the Vatican with the head of the Department for External Relations of the Patriarchate of Moscow. So it looks like a visit is in the works.

I recently watched a video in which the presenters seemed to believe that the Warning would not happen until the pope returned from Moscow. But I can’t find that in the message Conchita gave in 1965, which said, “The pope will go to Russia, to Moscow. As soon as he returns to the Vatican, hostilities will break out in different parts of Europe.”

One of the other Garabandal visionaries, Mari Loli, told us, “The Warning will come when you will see that Holy Mass cannot be celebrated freely anymore.” The pope hasn’t gone to Moscow, but we have definitely seen the Mass quashed by COVID.

August 28th is approaching fast. If you haven’t read “Get yourselves prayed up, people!”, I hope you will do so soon. https://polination.wordpress.com/2022/06/16/get-yourselves-prayed-up-people/

IRS: The Build Back Worse bill the Dems are shoving down our throats (thanks for nothing, Manchin and Sinema) allows the IRS to double its work force. And apparently they’re looking for agents to carry all those guns and use all that ammo they’ve been stockpiling.

FOOD: A recent Rasmussen survey found that 63% of Americans are changing their eating habits because of inflation. That number is 72% for families with children and 73% for women under 40.

SLAP ON THE WRIST: Remember when a senior FBI lawyer named Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty to forgery in order to get a FISA warrant for the FBI to continue spying on the Trump organization?

You’d think maybe, just maybe, Clinesmith’s career as an attorney would be toast since (a) what he did is a felony, and (b) lawyers are supposed to be held to a higher standard than the rest of us.

Never mind any of that. He helped the Dems hurt Trump! So all that happened to him was 12 months’ probation, a $1,037 fine, and temporary suspension of his law license. His probation isn’t even over yet, but he’s been restored to “good standing” and has his license to practice law back.

Of course, God hasn’t finished with him, so there’s that.

TRUMP RAID: According to the Daily Mail UK, Eric Trump says that the 30 FBI agents sent to raid Mar-a-Lago refused to hand over their warrant or allow Trump’s attorney onto the property. They also told the staff to turn security cameras off and leave the premises, neither of which happened. The agents were inside the 128-room Florida estate for nine hours, going wherever they pleased. They even rummaged through Melania’s clothing. Judicial Watch and the Albany Times Union newspaper have filed a motion to unseal the warrant.

This was a primary vote for the GOP nomination. They say it was the only race on the ballot to be affected by the glitch. They got caught this time. How many others slip by?

LifeSite News notes, “In their social media postings over the last few years, the sexually abusive parents showed themselves to be Woke activists, strongly aligned with the Democratic Party and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) – the powerhouse Washington, D.C. LGBT lobbying organization – while promoting abortion; the Marxist, anti-nuclear family Black Lives Matter movement; Trans Pride; LGBT militancy.

DESPERATION: Dem flunky Elias let the cat out of the bag when he tweeted the real motivation behind the outrageous raid on Trump’s residence. The FBI removed 15 boxes of material from Mar-a-Lago; clearly, they’re looking for anything they can find (or plant?) that would allow them to prosecute Trump under the statute and make it impossible for him to run for president in 2024.

Nick Arama points out the irony, which I’m sure none of us missed, which is that Shrillary created a whole private server with government documents on it and then deleted huge sections of it that we know included classified and secret information pertaining to her duties as SecState. The FBI decided they wouldn’t prosecute, because golly gee, she had merely been “extremely careless.

Hopefully, this grotesque action will backfire on the desperate Dems. Not only are Trump supporters outraged, but so are a bunch of high level Trump haters.

DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations.” – Andrew Cuomo

I’m no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that it’s him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution.” – Andrew Yang

END TIMES PROPHECY: [8:49] – Luz de Maria reports that, on July 30, Jesus told her (in part), “I call you to conversion! This is the time of the Signs preceding the Warning and yet My People continue not to examine themselves. Pray, My People. Pray. My justice is coming. The city of lights will be extinguished, its din silenced, and My Children will cry out. Argentina will suffer. Nature will act with greater force. May My Love be a sign of My Presence within you.”

FAUXTUS: Remember when Democrats said Trump should be impeached because he walked down a slippery ramp slowly? Yeah. Where are they now? It took less than 5 seconds for FAUXTUS to forget that he had already shaken hands with Chuckie Schmucker. CLICK https://twitter.com/SteveGuest/status/1557011318175047680 [:10].

FBI: “Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before.” – Donald Trump [:50] – The FBI actually raided the private residence of a former president. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3108854442709203 [6:36] for a Newsmax report about the raid.

INFLATION REDUCTION ACT OF 2022: Let’s be really clear here. This atrocity has nothing to do with reducing inflation; it’s only going to make it worse. What it really is is Build Back Better 2. It authorizes massive spending on energy, climate change, health care subsidies, and tax “reform” (read: huge increases).

NANCY JUNIOR: [7:08] – What does he do on these trips? And why is he not listed on the itineraries?

REINHART: The work history of the guy who signed the FBI’s warrant to raid the private residence of a former POTUS makes it clear that he has zero moral compass. At one time, he was a U.S. Attorney in the office handling prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein et al.; one day, he abruptly quit this job and, the very next day, went to work for Jeffrey Epstein!

Also, he’s not a district judge, but a magistrate judge, a distinction that matters. Federal district judges, who are nominated by a POTUS and confirmed by the U.S. Senate, hire magistrate judges to do their scut work. E.g., they oversee first appearances of criminal defendants, set bail, and sign warrants.

Why did a low-level, unconfirmed, unappointed magistrate judge sign off on the most consequential FBI warrant in decades? If any warrant application demanded the eyes of a real judge, it would be one targeting the former President of the United States. Yet, this judge was happy to give the FBI what they wanted while the FBI was happy to accept.” – Bonchie, Red State

S&G: A high-level U.S. Postal Service official appointed under President Joe Biden was caught during a child sex sting, admitting “I’m a pedophile” on camera. The man is the Chief Data Officer for the U.S. Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), the division responsible for mail-in ballots at election time.

Mary, the Sister of Lazarus

There are two stories in the New Testament about a woman who anoints Jesus with oil. In the first anointing, Jesus is at table in the house of a Pharisee when “a sinful woman in the city” bathes his feet with her tears, wipes them with her hair, and anoints them with oil from an alabaster jar (Luke 7:36-50).

The second anointing, which occurred at a dinner in Bethany at the beginning of Passion Week, is recounted in Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:3-9, and John 12:1-8. Neither Matthew nor Mark identify the woman, who broke an alabaster jar and poured the genuine spikenard within on to Jesus’ head. Spikenard is an expensive essential oil that was used for perfumes, for medicinal ointments, and in religious ceremonies.

John 12:1-8 identifies the woman in the second anointing as Mary, the sister of Lazarus, and in a clear reference to the first anointing, says that she anointed Jesus’ feet and dried them with her hair. In fact, prior to this event, John 11:2 says, “Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and dried his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was ill.” My Bible actually has a very stupid footnote saying that John 11:2 refers to the second anointing … which hasn’t happened yet in the story. It makes no grammatical or narrative sense to ascribe John 11:2 to the second anointing. So what was going on?

I believe the sinful woman in the first anointing was Mary, the sister of Lazarus. Some say she was a prostitute, but the text doesn’t say that. She is also often identified as Mary Magdalene, but that doesn’t work either. Directly after the anointing scene, Mary Magdalene is named and described as a woman “from whom seven demons had gone out.” If she had also been the woman at the anointing, there was no reason not to name her.

So why were the Synoptic writers so cagey about identifying her? I’m guessing that Mary was young and very pretty, that she maybe fell in love with and/or was seduced by someone who wouldn’t marry her (e.g., a Roman soldier), and had moved in with him. IOW, she had not only thrown away the most valuable commodities a Jewish woman had – i.e., her virginity and her reputation – but also had brought shame on her whole family, possibly tainting her siblings’ ability to find spouses. When the Synoptics were written, she was a very prominent member of the Christian community. Everybody knew about Lazarus who had been raised from the dead! So I’m thinking that Matthew, Mark, and Luke decided that, since Mary had repented and amended her life, there was no reason to identify her as the sinful woman.

This begs the question of why John did identify her very clearly as the woman in both anointing stories. Well, John wrote later, years after the Synoptics had been circulated widely. I’d guess that the Christians were gossiping about who the sinful woman might have been and John thought it was important to stop them pointing fingers at various members of the community. Also, maybe Mary had passed on or had told him she didn’t care who knew what.

Having repented, very publicly with the first anointing, Mary would have had little choice but to return to her family. In fact, they may only have accepted her back because Jesus wanted it. As I imagined how they would have felt about welcoming home their black sheep of a little sister, it shed a lot of light on the famous Martha and Mary story told in Luke 10:38-42. Jesus and His numerous disciples appear to have dropped in on Lazarus, no doubt creating a hectic “what am I going to feed them?!” problem for Martha, the female head of house. It’s not like she had a microwave or carry out joint around the corner!

But rather than helping, Mary sits at Jesus’ feet. Martha is clearly annoyed and says to Jesus, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” But Jesus doesn’t do that. Instead, he rebukes Martha, who has been doing all the work! I’m far from the only person to be bothered by this.

But let’s imagine for a moment what Mary’s life would have been like after she was forced to crawl home in disgrace and live under the thumb of her bitter and resentful big sister. To me, Mary’s choice to sit at Jesus’ feet was not about shirking her duties, but about a very lonely young woman who badly needed some love. And I think that when Jesus chastised Martha, He was not talking about the meal, but about her angry and unforgiving attitude toward her sister.

I also have a theory about why Mary actually broke the alabaster jar and used up all of the spikenard at the second anointing. A pricey jar of perfume is the kind of gift a well-to-do lover would give to a mistress he had no intention of marrying. Maybe he was a handsome Roman officer who either had a wife back home already or whose family had someone of good lineage picked out for when he got done with his military service. There was no way he would ever take a Jewess home to Mater, nor would he care what kind of life he condemned a discarded woman to after he dumped her.

If my scenario is correct, she gave up everything for what she no doubt thought was True Love. During the first anointing, when she poured out some of the perfume her lover gave her on to Jesus’ feet, she demonstrated she was ready to live a righteous life again. But I’m thinking she kept the jar, which she had not emptied, because she still had warm, romantic memories of her lover. In time, she realized she had to fully repent of every aspect of her sin and demonstrated she had done so by breaking and totally emptying the jar.

CIVIL RIGHTS: In yet another sign (as if we needed one) of the demonization of Caucasians, a long-time college football coach has been forced out of his dream job for reading the N-word aloud off a Black player’s iPad. Note that Blacks throw this word around with impunity and it was on his iPad, which he was messing with when he was supposed to be paying attention. The coach got annoyed and, as a punishment, read the screen aloud. He says he’s super duper sorry and that he didn’t even realize what he was saying; he just read what was there. Tough noogies, white boy. You been canceled.

LATIN MASS: I’ve gotten interested in the Latin Mass, but the side-by-side translations bewilder me. I decided to just dip my toe in the water and do my own. There are loads of translation sites online! The Glory Be is similar, but I love the “and evermore and into ages and ages” part.

NEW YORK: My stupid state bail “reform” that eliminated bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies, meaning that most criminals arrested for these crimes are freed without restrictions, usually within a few hours of their arrest. What a SHOCK (not) that just 10 NYC criminals have racked up 485 arrests. And, surprise surprise, one of those guys has racked up nearly 100 arrests in Manhattan, where the Soros-funded DA is soft on crime.

UK: [14:44] – Aussie Sky News reports the good news that a UK police force has announced it is scrapping its so-called hate crime awareness courses.

VAXXX: A recent Zogby survey of 1,038 American adults found that 15% of those who accepted the ‘rona jabs have since been diagnosed with a new medical condition. The most common ones were blood clots (21%), heart attack (19%), liver damage (18%), leg and lung clots (17%), and stroke (15%).

GRAMMY NOTES: Mama reports that Bootz asked her if she remembered the movie “with the old guy with glasses and has white hair on the sides? And the guy who’s says ‘40 S’ and everyone else tells him to sit down?” It took her a while, but she finally got enough detail from him to figure it out. She told him the guy was saying, “Vote Yes!” and Bootz agreed that made more sense. LOL

AMAZON: The mega-corporation just bought iRobot for $1.7 billion. This means, if you have a Roomba, Amazon will have access to detailed information about the inside of your home. Not that this makes a huge difference, since the newer models store all your information in the cloud where it can be hacked by enterprising thieves and whatnot.

My Automated Palace recommends, “Before bringing a Roomba or other robot vacuum into your home, consider weighing the risks of a potential breach to your privacy.” And this applies to other so-called “smart” devices. If you own a Smart Roomba, a laptop with a built-in webcam*, an Alexa (or similar), a Smart TV, or a phone with apps containing Automated Content Technology Recognition (ACR), please read the article at the second link below.

*I have a desktop computer; my camera/microphone are on a plug-in device that I only plug in for video sessions. I also clean my computer’s cache frequently, particularly if I’ve been shopping or visited my on-line bank account.

CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION: Kudos to Balenciaga for figuring out yet another way to fleece the stupid. Some rich people are oh-so-happy to spend absurd amounts for crap provided it has a designer label that proclaims to the world, “Look at me! I can afford to spend absurd amounts for crap like this!

As with pricey designer clothing that goes out of style in 3 months, “conspicuous” is really all this consumption is about. Balenciaga’s creative director is snickering into her champagne. “I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal?” Or making an insane profit off of people with way more money than sense? I mean, besides being ugly, it’s a terrible design for a tote!

INFLATION: It’s only going to get worse. The a-holes in D.C. have passed a major climate, tax, and health care package that will majorly increase taxes and everything else.

I like their summary: We don’t care if you get rich, just don’t act like a jerk when you do. – The back story is that, on May 28, Paulie P. (82) was on his way home from a dinner party when he smashed his 2021 Porsche into another driver’s 2014 Jeep. Both vehicles were reportedly totaled and the other driver sustained some kind of injury.

The complaint notes that Pelosi failed a field sobriety test and that his “eyes were red/watery, he was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath.” Then, for some inexplicable reason (“my name is Pelosi?”), police waited two hours before doing a blood alcohol test! It still popped .08%. God alone knows what it was when he was behind the wheel or what else he had imbibed, because it wasn’t just a little wine.
