Confession is a critical part of preparing ourselves to meet Our Lord. Sadly, there are many false beliefs that people hold about this beautiful Sacrament. Below are the five most common of these myths debunked.
Truth: This objection usually comes from Protestants who wonder why a person needs any more forgiveness if they’ve already put their faith in Christ. Thus, they see Confession as something separate from and additional to the grace of Jesus.
There are two problems with this objection.
First, the power of Confession depends entirely on the sacrifice of Christ. Christ earned infinite grace on the cross, and the Sacrament of Confession is one important way that grace is applied to an individual. In other words, Confession isn’t a source of grace separate from Christ, it’s an instrument for its application.
Second, this objection usually comes from a misunderstanding of the Christian life. Some Protestants think that after a person’s initial conversion, there is no more additional cooperation and growth in grace needed for salvation. The Catholic Church, on the other hand (following the Bible), teaches that the Christian life is one of continual conversion and growth in holiness by the grace of Christ.
Myth 2: Confession was invented by the Catholic Church and is not in the Bible.
Truth: This might surprise some people, but the core of the Sacrament of Confession is explicitly established by Christ himself in Scripture.
In the Gospel of John, after he has risen from the dead, Jesus appears to his disciples and this happens:
“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.‘” (John 20.21-23)
Right there, Jesus explicitly gives his Apostles the power to give and withhold forgiveness of sins, which is the basis for the Sacrament of Confession. And the Church practiced this from the beginning.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the form we use today has not changed since the seventh century.
Myth 3: Confession is optional.
Truth: Confession is definitely not optional for Catholics. It is, in fact, required in two ways.
First, according to the precepts of the Church, all Catholics are required to go to Confession at least once each year.
Second, the Sacrament of Confession (or the desire thereof with perfect contrition), is necessary for salvation for baptized individuals in a state of mortal sin (cf. Council of Trent.)
So the Sacrament of Confession isn’t just a nice optional form of Catholic counseling if you want it. Rather, it is an essential part of being a practicing Catholic and attaining final salvation.
Myth 4: Confession is only for “really bad people.”
Truth: The previous answer to Myth 3 helps to correct this myth. If you are Catholic, you are required to go to Confession once a year anyway.
But most importantly, we are all sinners. As Scripture says, “If we say we have not sinned, we make him [Jesus] a liar, and his word is not in us.” (1 John 1.10) So if you don’t think you need the grace of Christ’s forgiveness, you may need to take a closer look at your spiritual life.
Myth 5: Confession is scary.
Truth: If someone has never gone to Confession, or hasn’t gone in a long time, they might expect that the priest will be shocked by their sins and react in a cruel or harsh way.
The experience of the vast majority of Catholics today attests that the opposite is the case. If anything, most priests are too easy. Priests have heard everything before (sin is common and boring), and they usually respond with some counsel and encouragement and then assign a very light penance (often simply saying a few prayers). Exceptions to this nowadays are rare.
So if you are a baptized Catholic, and haven’t gone to Confession for a while, you should go!
BORDER: Video clip from Jun 17, 2022 speech Donald Trump at the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Nashville, Tennessee contains a short list of what we believe and why we can not compromise with the morally bankrupt left. [1:40] – CLICK https://www.facebook.com/thescoop.us/videos/1071886443747738 to hear Mayorkas refuse to answer a simple question. “How much money do you need?”
CATHOLIC: [1:02] – Sunday, June 19th was the Solemnity of The Body and Blood of Christ. Formerly known as the Feast of Corpus Christ, this is the special holy day when Catholics celebrate the Real Presence of Jesus’ Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the bread and wine of Holy Eucharist. It has been celebrated since 1264.
The homilies were supposed to be about the Eucharist. But the congregation at Old St. Patrick’s Church in the Archdiocese of Chicago did not hear any homily. Instead, they heard a “Gospel reflection” given by two homosexual men. And it wasn’t about the Eucharist, but about Pride Month and Father’s Day. The two speakers described as “miracles” their same-sex civil marriage and the adoption of two daughters, comparing those moments to the multiplication of the loaves and fishes in the Gospel reading.
Those men and the priest who set this up are facing some severe chastisement from Our Lord. Millstones come to mind.
EDUCATION: Thomas Sowell talks about one reason our schools are failing to educate. [4:48] – There has been a 9.4% decline in college enrollments since the spring of 2020, affecting private and public colleges, but not conservative religious colleges, many of which have seen record growth.
END TIMES PROPHECY: [3:23] – Gisella Cardia reports that, on June 7, 2022, Our Lady said to her, “My children, the war will continue and will take many countries. Pray for France and Italy; they will be those who will suffer many losses. Pray for America, because a good part of it will be erased. … Pray for those with closed hearts, that they may be saved during the Warning; the times are getting closer and closer. Pray, because even the worst of sinners could be saved before the King of Kings. Children, pay attention. Famine will spread quickly, as will other diseases to come. Children, never trade your soul for a piece of bread. Listen to my words. … Look at the climatic variations. From the strong heat, there will be strong cold. From the tornadoes, it will pass to the strong hail. Get used to the changes, because they will be many.”
HETERONORMATIVITY: Comments on Twitchy – “Do they realize that the word ‘heteronormativity’ is in and of itself a stereotype of the heterosexual community? Can we say that heterophobia is now a thing?”
“Most of the rainbow community don’t even agree with this, it makes them look bad, and they hate it.”
“Funny how they are as ‘mainstream as ever’ yet they never shut up about being oppressed and marginalized.”
JAPAN: A Japanese court has ruled that the country’s ban on homosexual marriage is constitutional. Japan is the only G7 country to resist legalizing same sex marriage.
MAINE: In a big win for religious rights, the Supreme Court voted 6–3 that a state tuition assistance program is unconstitutional. Fewer than half of Maine’s 260 school administrative units operate a public secondary school of their own, so the state provides tuition assistance for these students to attend private schools. The program even allows parents to use the money to send their kids to school in a foreign country. But it specifically excluded religious schools. The petitioners said the program violated the Free Exercise Clause and the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as well as the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. SCOTUS agreed.
NIGERIA: On Sunday, gunmen raided St. Moses Catholic Church and Maranatha Baptist Church, killing three Catholics and kidnapping more than 30 worshippers, most of them Baptists.
More Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than in any other country worldwide — at least 4,650 in 2021 and nearly 900 in the first three months of 2022 alone.
At the second link is a video, taken in mid-May, of approximately 50 kidnapped Christians that the Islamists are threatening to kill if they don’t get ransom money from somebody.
A priest told LifeSiteNews, “These things are happening every day, every week, every month, for years since the inception of this government of Muhammadu Buhari. In fact, he [Buhari] is the number one supporter, sponsor, and leader of Islamic terrorism as far as Nigeria is concerned.”
S&G: The billionaire Pritzkers of Illinois are using their Hyatt Hotel bucks to try and erase God’s dimorphic definition of sex in favor of “Synthetic Sex Identities (SSI).” The Pritzkers donate megabucks to hospitals that, surprise, surprise, offer “gender affirming” castration and mastectomy services. They also donate to educational efforts, from pre-K through college, to promote curricula that affirm their twisted gospel.
The Pritzkers are allied with transhumanists like Martine Rothblatt, creator of SiriusXM Satellite Radio and founder of a new religion called Terasem. Devotees look forward to a future where technology will extend their lives indefinitely. They say, “We are making God as we are implementing technology that is ever more all-knowing, ever-present, all-powerful and beneficent. Geoethical nanotechnology will ultimately connect all consciousness and control the cosmos.”
I remember people spouting nonsense just like this. The Tower of Babel and the launching of the Titanic come to mind. “Pride goeth before the fall” and all that. Cuz God is really not amused by His children flipping the bird at Him.
VAXXX: The study linked below found that the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines increased the risk of serious adverse events by more than they reduced the risk of COVID-19 hospitalizations.
WISCONSIN: All three Planned Parenthood facilities in Wisconsin have temporarily stopped scheduling abortions past June 25, in anticipation of Roe being overturned. Wisconsin has a law dating back to 1849 banning abortions that Governor Evers is trying to eliminate. If it remain in place, then preborn children will be protected in Wisconsin. However, Planned Parenthood is busy referring patients to abortion-friendly states nearby.
As I reported previously, the FDA and CDC are recommending the Pfizer and Modern vaxxxines for children as young as 6 months old. It beggars belief that they are even discussing vaxxxing kids, who are at near zero risk of getting anything more than a mild case and acquiring lifelong immunity from it.
But the White House and the CDC have both nodded sagely as they recommended the shots and assured us all that severe reactions to the vaxxx are exceedingly rare. So yeah, let’s all jab our babies. Or not.
On Sunday, the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VCRF) published a new poll about adverse reactions that, sadly, I found less than sterling. The first problem is the small sample size of only 501 respondents. The gold standard for polls is 1,000 individuals. It’s obvious that Pollfish’s methods are pretty much garbage, since they don’t even report the Margin of Error; good pollsters always include the MOE in their reports. I’m guessing Pollfish hasn’t got a clue what their MOE is.
Problem two is that reliable pollsters randomly select, as much as is practical, from among the population to which they wish to extrapolate. E.g., if they’re interested in voting projections, they will randomly select from among registered voters. Most often, this means they call phone numbers that were randomly selected by a computer program, then talk to the subset of telephone users who also answer their phones and who take the time to answer the survey questions. So, the poll results cannot really be extrapolated to the entire targeted population, but it’s as close as pollsters get most of the time.
By contrast, the VCRF poll wasn’t even close to being a random selection of American adults, because they just troll electronic devices with invitations to participate in their polls. I’d guess VCRF hired Pollfish, because it’s all they could afford.
Problem three is that the poll never asked, “Were you vaccinated?” Yet VCRF went ahead and had the 501 respondents answers adjusted upward, based on the fact that 23% of Americans refused the jab. But I see no reason at all to assume that people who refused the jab would even bother to respond to a poll whose first question is, “Were you injured by the COVID-19 vaccine?” In fact, I have a suspicion that people who were injured, or know and love someone who was injured were more likely to respond than those who have never seen any problems.
Because of problem three, I am reporting the raw results (rounded up or down just for simplicity). VCRF is reporting the higher, stratified results, which you can see at the pdf below. And given problems one and two, you probably need to take even the raw numbers with a grain of salt, albeit a fairly small one.
THE POLL
Q1: Have you or anyone in their household or your extended family been injured by the COVID-19 vaccine? YES 52% vs. NO 48%.
Questions 2 and 3 were answered by the approximately 260 people who answered YES to Question 1.
Q2: Did the injury require a doctor visit, a hospital stay, or both? YES: 89% vs. NO 11%.
Q3: Is the injured person still suffering today? YES 60% vs. NO 40%.
Question 4 was answered by the approximately 156 people who answered YES to Question 3.
Q4: If you answered YES to question 3, how seriously are you still being affected today? Only 17% said the injury was just a “minor annoyance.” The remaining 83% said the injury impacted their personal lives, made it impossible for them to work a full day or at all, and/or probably would shorten their lives. (The poll allowed “check all that apply” and the total number of answers is higher than the number of respondents who said they had been injured.)
Given that politicians and agencies that we know (a) have taken big bucks from Big Pharma and (b) lied to us repeatedly about anything and everything to do with the ‘rona, I’m inclined to believe that these numbers are significant, if only because they exist. Kinda like the VAERS numbers exist.
I mean, they’re telling us that serious adverse reactions are exceedingly rare. But if the percentages are at all valid for the American vaxxxed population, something like 44 million Americans had a reaction bad enough to go see a doctor and/or need hospitalization and 30 million who consider their injury to be somewhat-to-very problematic today.
It would be really easy to dismiss such big numbers, given that the government is saying they don’t exist and the media is refusing to report on them. But if vaxxx injuries really are a big nothingburger, then why do the social media platforms actively censor any discussion of them?
COVID-19: The White House’s COVID-19 response coordinator assured us it’s safe to jab the kiddies, because “there have not been any serious side effects of these vaccines.” Uhhhhhhh … I guess if you don’t count severe allergic reactions, blood clotting, heart inflammation, paralysis, or, you know, death as “serious”, then sure.
END TIMES PROPHECY: The video recounts a message that Luz de Maria says that St. Michael the Archangel gave her on June 12, 2022. The following is a brief summary: Surrender all your works and actions at all times to our King and Lord, Jesus Christ, in reparation for the offenses of humanity and for the salvation of souls. Unite in prayer so that the intensity of the great earthquake that will soon occur at the place where great tectonic plates converge will be diminished. Pray for Argentina, for Chile, for Central America, for the United States, for Japan, for Spain, for France.”
FAUXTUS: On Wednesday, CINO Joe issued an executive order giving the Department of Health and Human Services the lead role in ensuring that minors can undergo “gender transition” surgeries. The order pits the federal government against Republicans such as Florida Gov. DeSantis, who is seeking to ban Medicaid from funding transgender treatments.
“You can’t get a tattoo if you’re 12 years old. When they say gender-affirming care, what they mean a lot of times is you are really — you’re castrating a young boy, you’re sterilizing a young girl, you’re doing mastectomies for these very young girls. For these young kids, 80 percent of the cases resolve themselves as they grow up. And so you’re doing things that are permanently altering them, and then they’re not gonna be able to reverse that,” DeSantis said.
J6: Adam Schiff says he has evidence … EVIDENCE, I tell ya … that Donald J. Trump was directly involved in a conspiracy to destroy the United States. Will Schiff show it to us? Well, no. But don’t let his endless, totally debunked lies about Russiagate bother you. THIS time, he swears he’s totes for real.
PRO-ABORT: Jane’s Revenge vandalized a Minnesota Crisis Pregnancy Center for the second time in two weeks.
And pro-abortion activists with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights gathered outside Justice Barrett’s home to dump baby dolls on the street, while wearing white pants dripping what I hope was fake blood out the crotches.
VAXXX: A new study tracked the fertility of 37 men for five months after they got the Pfizer jab. The averaged results showed a 22% decrease in sperm concentration during the first three months with a return to pre-jab levels by five months.
GRAMMY NOTES: I painted this a while back, but I just got it into a frame. It’s so cool how the frame and mat enhance the three dimensionality, making the flowers seem to come forward and the trees to recede further into the background.

ATHEISM: The most recent Gallup poll of Values and Beliefs (conducted from May 2 to 22) showed the highest number (17%) of atheists since Gallup began asking this question in 1944. Even more telling for “Are we in the End Times?” purposes is that the percentage of believers stayed above 90% from 1944 until 2013, when it first dipped below to 87%. This year, it dropped to 81%! Unsurprisingly, Gallup says that atheism is highest among liberals, young adults, and Democrats and lowest among conservatives and Republicans.
DISNEY: On June 2, members of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and two municipal police departments posed as children on social media platforms, popular apps, and online dating sites. On June 17, they arrested 12 suspects on charges of soliciting children online. One was a Disney employee. Make that another one was a Disney employee. I’ve lost track of how many they’ve rounded up so far. It makes sense that so many of these pigs choose to work at Disney; pedos are drawn to places where kids congregate. But I can’t help wondering if the pro-perversion climate at Disney isn’t also a contributing factor.
END TIMES PROPHECY: [4:34] – St. Pope Pius X reported after a vision, “What I have seen is terrifying. … The pope will leave Rome and, in leaving the Vatican, he will have to pass over the dead bodies of his priests.” Later, he had another vision, “I have seen one of my successors of the same name who was fleeing over the bodies of his brethren. He will take refuge in some hiding place, but after a brief respite, he will die a cruel death. Respect for God has disappeared from human hearts. They wish to efface even God’s memory. This perversity is nothing less than the beginning of the Last Days of the world.”
St. Pope Pius X’s birth name was Giuseppe, which is Italian for Joseph. One of the two living popes, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, was also named Joseph. (Pope Francis was named Jorge, or George.)
INVASION: [8:28] – We’re not the only nation under siege.
MICHIGAN: Ryan Kelley is the Republican candidate in the up-coming gubernatorial race. You remember his opponent, the incumbent Governor “Jackboot” Whitmer [D] who had people arrested for shopping in the wrong aisles at Wal*Mart, while repeatedly flouting her own pandemic mandates.
Whitmer’s problem is that Michiganders prefer Kelley so … surprise surprise, suddenly the feds have arrested and charged him with having participated in the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol 18 MONTHS AGO.
And, to add insult to injury, a judge has just ruled that he has to surrender his guns and his passport while he awaits trial on misdemeanor charges. I guess we should be glad he hasn’t been denied bail and tossed into solitary confinement, seeing as how I’m sure Gretchen would prefer he weren’t free to campaign.
TRANS: The governing body for international swimming has approved new policies for transgender swimmers that will go into effect starting on June 20. The only biologically male swimmers who will be allowed to compete in women’s events will be those who had puberty suppressed before age 12 and have maintained serum testosterone levels below 2.5 nmol/L.
When examining this graph, please keep in mind that the red columns on the bar graph do not represent Republican spending. They represent the worst years for increased federal spending – i.e., red ink.
The less worse years are orange and the least worse years are black. There aren’t any good years, because Congress has been deficit spending since before 1930, when the full graph (link below) begins.
To reveal Nancy’s Big Fat Lie, compare the balance of red and orange columns with the predominance of blue Ds. Especially note that where Pelosi wants to take credit for the black bars during the latter Clinton years, those budgets were the work of an all Republican Congress under the leadership of Newt Gingrich.
As for her absurd claim that they reduced spending under Obama, puh-leeze. The increases were astronomical and did not slow down until Republicans got some traction in Congress.
1A: In a chilling move, the New York County Supreme Court has ruled that Yeshiva University must formally recognize an LGBT student group. The court’s decision is based on its judgment that the Jewish school is not a “religious corporation.”
“The court’s ruling violates the religious liberty upon which this country was founded,” a university spokesperson said in response. “The decision permits courts to interfere in the internal affairs of religious schools, hospitals, and other charitable organizations. Any ruling that Yeshiva is not religious is obviously wrong. As our name indicates, Yeshiva University was founded to instill Torah values in its students while providing a stellar education, allowing them to live with religious conviction as noble citizens and committed Jews. While we love and care for our students, who are all – each and every one – created in God’s image, we firmly disagree with today’s ruling and will immediately appeal the decision.”
2A: The knee jerk move to outlaw guns ignores a couple of factors – One, 97.8% of mass shootings occur in “gun-free zones.” Two, while depression rarely results in violence, antidepressants (which many mass shooters have been shown to be on) are well-known for their ability to cause suicidal and homicidal ideation and violence. “Only after antidepressants became commonplace did mass shootings take off, and many mass shooters have been shown to be on antidepressants.”
BACK THE BLUE: I saw this on FB – “I was driving up 75, and saw the trooper in the turnout … checked my speed, oh I’m good. A few minutes later, I see a dog in the ditch by one of the signs for exit 20. She looked bad. I was in left lane, heading to an appointment, and was torn. I decided I would go back southbound and risk a ticket by going to the turnout.
“I turned in and the trooper was still there! Yay! He rolled down his window and said ‘yep! I’m here; to which i told him about the dog and I didn’t want a ticket, but if I could help that dog, it was fine by me. He just asked where the dog was and was on his way! I followed and we found her. Still there, panting like she was fixing to die.
“That trooper dumped his jug of koolaid out and fashioned a water bowl for her. Then poured a couple bottles of water. The dog was scared of him, but frozen in weakness. She sniffed the water, then realized this kindness was for her! She drank that water down in minutes! And the trooper went and got her some more, plus a little debby. She watched him warily the whole time. She sniffed his hand, but was still wary.
“Next thing, he goes to his vehicle and gets a chair and an umbrella. Telling me he will stay here until she trusts him, so he can get her to a shelter, or take her home.” – Kaye Fiorello
BIDENFLATION: [2:59] – Michael Knowles outs one of the lies the White House is spewing.
BIG PHARMA: Big Pharma corporations has shelled out millions of dollars to finance electoral campaigns and lobby the federal government. Both sides of the aisle benefit, but the majority of donations go to Democrats.
And in 2020, when government was actively voting for taxpayer funded and coercive ‘rona jab, at least 75 federal legislators were holding stock in the three companies producing the vaxxx – Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, or Pfizer. Legislators also traded stocks in other pandemic-related corporations, including makers of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and non-vaccine treatments. However, it is unclear to what extent any of them know what stocks their financial advisors buy or sell on their behalf.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES: These two graphics popped into my feed and it got me googling. Here are just a few factoids I came across that should make people pushing universal EVs pause.
First, it seems that poor black children are still being used to mine toxic minerals for use in tony electric car batteries.
Second, while the CAT fuel figure appears to be a gross exaggeration, the point the graphic is making is valid. Still, not getting the facts right means the Left can just point at the error and ignore the point. They do enough lying for everybody; let’s not be a part of the problem.
Third, Fourth, Fifth, etc. … there are significant environmental problems associated with the “Green New Deal” plan to switch everything to electric. For example, a proposed lithium mine in Nevada would require strip mining 20 to 30 million tons of earth per year, using heavy, fossil-fueled equipment. The lithium would then have to be extracted using sulfuric acid, which the highly corrosive, toxic, and flammable. They estimate that bringing in enough sulfuric acid would require 75 tractor-trailer loads per day, so add that much more fossil fuel burned, plus the damage and clean up costs for the occasional spill from an overturned truck to the “clean car” equation.
And that’s just one mine that isn’t even built yet. An article linked below says, “I figure that electrifying all U.S. cars and trucks in two decades, as envisioned in GND scenarios, will demand the continuous lithium output of three to five Thacker Pass mines. Powering ‘utility-side’ grid-smoothing batteries will require still more. How much, I do not know. An extensive literature search turned up not a single statement of the quantity of lithium needed per gigawatt-hour, say, of electricity storage — an indication, perhaps, of the alienation of Green New Dealers and energy scenario-spinners alike from the physical implications of their intentions.”
END TIMES PROPHECY: [12:44] – Forty-four million people in 38 countries are currently at emergency levels of hunger. Dr. John Campbell explains why it’s going to get worse and that mass hunger and famine could last for years.
“When [the Lamb] broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature cry out, ‘Come forward.’ I looked, and there was a black horse, and its rider held a scale in his hand. I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures. It said, ‘A ration of wheat costs a day’s pay, and three rations of barley cost a day’s pay. But do not damage the olive oil or the wine.’” – Rev. 6:5-6
FLORIDA: Unlike some politicians I could name, Gov. DeSantis (43) has not enriched himself at the public trough. His net worth is $318,987 and he still has $21,284.92 in student loans. When he was U.S. Representative from Florida’s 6th District, he earned $174,000/year. Now, as Florida’s Governor, he earns $134,181/year. He and his wife own no property and do not trade individual stocks.
GROOMER: A few months ago, a teacher in Hawaii tweeted his opinion of supporters of the Florida Parental Rights in Education law. Last week, he was arrested for having had sexual encounters with a 13-year-old former student, for recording said encounters, and for sending the photos and videos to a pervy friend. Methinks his statement about projecting was him projecting.
IOWA: This week, the state’s Supreme Court ruled that the state constitution does not guarantee a right to abortion. The move, which overturned a 2018 ruling by the same court, allows the Republican-controlled Iowa General Assembly to move forward with plans to restrict, or possibly entirely prohibit, abortions in the state.
J6: Never forget that, for all of the eight months before January 6, 2021, Democrats cheered rioters.
MEDIA: [:37] – In yet another example of jerknalist hypocrisy, CNN’s Chris Cillizza dismissed Biden’s bike fall with a single tweet. “Been there.” So have I (see Toe Clips below). But let’s just look at the 19 paragraphs Cillizza had to say when then-POTUS Trump walked slowly and carefully down a ramp.
Trump claimed the ramp was very slippery; Cillizza sneered that “the weather was dry.” I’ve heard Trump talk about this. The problem was that the ramp was smooth metal and he had on brand new leather-soled shoes. So yeah, I’ve been THERE too … and landed in the ER with a twisted ankle.
“The President turned 74 on Sunday. He is the oldest person ever elected to a first term in the White House.” Well, he was until Slow Joe took office. We’ll skip the part about how Joe (79) wasn’t actually “elected” per se. Oh wait, no we won’t.
“We know less about Trump’s medical history than any previous modern-day president.” Except maybe Slow Joe, who refuses to take a cognitive exam and has tripped and fallen several times climbing the stairs to Air Force One.
But yeah, let’s ignore the toe clips, Chris, cuz anyone who has used them has probably fallen over at least once. But let’s not ignore the fact that a 79-year-old weekend biker shouldn’t have had them on his pedals in the first place. They’re for racing. Period. My bike came with them and I didn’t question it until I fell. Then I took them off.
S&G:[15:26] – CLICK https://rumble.com/v18sooo-drag-queen-goes-off-on-woke-liberals-taking-children-to-drag-shows.html [2:18] to hear a drag queen speak truth. “Keep your kids at home. Drag is an adult thing, okay?” I have yet to see any drag performance that involved anything approaching real talent or skill or beauty. Like “she” says, it’s all about makeup, sex, drugs, nudity, and moral filth.
SOUTH DAKOTA: “Abortions have stopped in South Dakota. We have prayed for this day, and now it is here. Now, we must redouble our focus on taking care of mothers in crisis. Help is available for you. Adoption is an option. You are never alone.” – Governor Kristi Noem (@govkristinoem), June 16, 2022
TOE CLIP: [A free subscription to PoliNation to the first person to get the movie homage] – So, about Joe Biden falling off his bicycle while standing still … I’ve done this too. Those damn toe clips are a menace. Racers need them for the extra oomph, because they allow each leg to propel on the up as well as the down strokes. But for casual biking, nope. He definitely should NOT have had them on his pedals.
WHITE SLAVES: [4:24] – Thomas Sowell reveals that slavery wasn’t limited to Africans. “When the roles were reversed, Africans did not treat Europeans any better than Europeans treated Africans. Neither can be exempted from moral condemnation.”
“My husband got a new grill for Father’s Day and to establish his dominance over all the other neighborhood dads he took the huge box with the picture on it to the curb even though our trash won’t be picked up for days. — Lady Lawya (@Parkerlawyer)”
BABY FORMULA: Just days after the FDA finally agreed to let the Abbott baby formula factory in Sturgis, MI, get back to work, the plant was shut down again, this time due to flooding. They said there’s nothing sniffy about it; the whole area experienced flooding. But this being a baby formula plant, they will have to close to do repairs and re-sanitize everything.
BAD DAD: Joe Biden’s youngest daughter, Ashley (photo), left her diary under a mattress at a Palm Beach rehab home. In a January 2019 entry, she wrote, “I have always been boy crazy. Hyper-sexualized @ a young age … I remember somewhat being sexualized with [a family member]; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate).”
Ashley Biden is 41 years old and apparently isn’t sure whether or not a young girl showering with her dad is “appropriate.” Is it any wonder that she and her brother, Hunter, have both battled sex, drug and alcohol addictions since they were young?
Joe Biden’s college roomie reported that Joe once admitted that kids arouse him so much that, if he didn’t masturbate before he was around them, he couldn’t keep his hands off them. And we’ve all seen the photos and heard the stories of Joe’s groping, pawing, sniffing, and outright sexual assaults.
I have to wonder if Ashley abandoning her daddy-damning diary and Hunter abandoning his daddy-damning laptop weren’t subconscious cries for vengeance.
CANNIBALISM: It’s a truism that Leftists end up eating themselves. I remember reading about a leading liberal/progressive/whatever guy who tried to really help actual people after Hurricane Katrina. What he found was that the people who joined him were obsessed with their personal political agendas. One example I recall was a group of lesbians who literally taped off a section of the abandoned facility they were using as a headquarters and labeled the area a man-free zone.

Teaser: “So much energy has been devoted to the internal strife and internal bullshit that it’s had a real impact on the ability for groups to deliver. It’s been huge, particularly over the last year and a half or so, the ability for groups to focus on their mission, whether it’s reproductive justice, or jobs, or fighting climate change.”
CATHOLIC: For several months, Bishop McManus of the Diocese of Worcester, MA, tried and failed to get the Nativity School in Westover to remove their BLM and gay pride flags. The values of these two groups is inconsistent with Catholic teaching, so the bishop has published an official decree denying the school the right to call itself “Catholic.”
CATTLE DEATHS: I saw this on FB posted by Tera Barnhardt, DVM, MS. It was republished at the link below. – “We had a natural disaster in Southwest Kansas on June 11th, 2022 and in the days that followed that greatly affected cattle being fed for slaughter. It wasn’t a tornado or a flood or government conspiracy to dismantle our food supply. There’s no mysterious disease or theory, we know exactly what happened.
“It’s called a heat index crisis. Prior to this day, our average high temperatures were very mild, the night temperatures were very cool, the wind was normal and we were receiving rain showers that we so desperately needed!
“On June 11th, temperatures rose, humidity was high, and wind speed nearly ceased. This is an emergency for cattle. Cattle can not compensate for this type of weather event if they do not get a period of night cooling. For several days this continued. Our people did everything in their power to save as many animals as they could. Our people are amazing and tired and weary. We lost a lot of cattle and we are physically affected by each loss because we know first hand the resources and expertise that goes into raising safe, wholesome and delicious beef for our consumers.
“This weather event geographically centered in Haskell County and Grant County Kansas. This is cattle feeding country. We are typically subject to a climate that is superior for raising cattle for slaughter.
“There’s a video making rounds with misinformation and I’d like to take the time to connect with you as a feedlot veterinarian from Southwest Kansas, a consumer of the same beef you feed your families, and a person passionately working in production agriculture. If you have concerns or questions, I am happy to connect. I don’t have a video to go viral with because what happened is not entertaining to me, it’s my livelihood and it hurts to see my people dealing with so much loss.”
DOMESTIC TERRORISM: A 46-year-old man drove his car into a Trump store, narrowly missing the store clerk. The car bore a bumper sticker showing Trump’s face with “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” I’m thinking maybe it would’ve made more sense if it had had Pelosi’s face.
In other Leftist violence news … the California man who authorities say admitted to flying across the country to try to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has been indicted on one count of “Attempt to Assassinate Justice of United States.” The punishment for the count, a violation of 18 U.S. Code Section 351(c), is a maximum of life in prison.
A group of U.S. senators wrote to AG Garland, asking his DOJ to start prosecuting people for protesting outside the homes of pro-life justices. A group of pro-life leaders also sent a letter to AG Garland, asking the DOJ to do something about the rising levels of threats and violence against pro-lifers.
Since Garland shouldn’t need to be asked, I’m not gonna hold my breath. I mean, come on, man! It’s not like the people vandalizing and firebombing Crisis Pregnancy Centers are as dangerous as all those angry parents who go to school board meetings to shout at their elected representatives, right?!
END TIMES PROPHECY: This isn’t specifically End Times prophecy, but I am including it here, because Satan’s power is going to increase exponentially and we will all need to understand spiritual warfare a lot better than we do now. [4:49] – In 2019, on the Feast of the Holy Rosary (October 7), Father Don Ambrogio Villa, an exorcist in Milan, forced a demon to reveal the power of the rosary. The demon said, “The rosary destroys me. … The one who [says] it is united to the life of Christ and to Mary. … I can’t stand [to hear it]. I also get annoyed when people hold it in their hands, even when they’re not praying it. I can’t stand it, but she loves this prayer. … I can’t go into the house [where someone prays the rosary]. I have not been given permission. The power of the holy rosary in the family crushes me. … If there is only one person [in a family] who prays it, he can save the others. … You should pray this prayer with the children. Teach them before I come to bother them, because afterwards, I steal their purity. … I want to destroy the family.”
FLORIDA: Florida schools are purging instructional materials that teach critical race theory, gender identity, or sexual orientation material. Florida is also the only state to refuse to pre-order doses of experimental COVID “vaccines” for young children. Apparently, every other state rushed to shovel more tax dollars into Big Pharma’s pockets the minute the FDA “emergency approved” the vaxxx for kids as young as 6 months. I’m really puzzled about what “emergency” we’re talking about … the one where little kids only get a mild case of ‘rona and then acquire natural immunity for life? Or the one where Big Pharma has gotten drunk on obscene profits and demands more, More, and MORE?
FRAUD: John Solomon reports that DHS and the Capitol Police were first warned about possible violence at the January 6th protests TWO WEEKS before the planned rallies. AND that both Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser turned down requests to have thousands of National Guard troops provide extra security at the US Capitol that day.
In addition, the FBI refused to notify the Trump administration and his cabinet secretaries that they believed something bad could break out if there was a protest at the Capitol.
I think it’s extremely likely that anything and everything bad that happened at the Capitol on January 6 was planned and executed by anti-Trumpers.
GOOD DOG: Jason Maatman, 27, is a Dutch pedophile who openly advocates for the legalization of sex between adults and minors. After he was busted for possessing more than 10,000 images of children, he fled the Netherlands. Anti-trafficking groups tracked him down in Mexico and alerted the authorities. After Hidu sniffed out his hidden stashes of child porn, authorities in Mexico City arrested him. I’d never heard of electronics stiffing dogs before, but with criminals using flash drives to store everything from contacts to cryptocurrencies, they are now much in demand.
HYPOCRISY: I reported previously that the House voted 396-27 to approve extra security for SCOTUS justices, staff and families. Fox News now reports that 22 of the 27 Dems who voted no had voted in favor of extra security for themselves after the riot at the Capitol on January 6.
J6: Simone Gold, M.D., J.D., was among thousands swept into the Capitol building when the doors were opened from the inside, with law enforcement officers ushering people in. When an officer instructed her to move towards an exit, she complied. Shortly after when asked to leave the building, she did so.
For this heinous behavior, she has been sentenced to 60 days in jail, 12 months of supervised release, and $9,500 in fines. CNN noted that this was the largest fine imposed to date among the “rioters” who have been sentenced. Except there is no evidence she did anything destructive. Perhaps her real “crime” is having founded America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLD), which has been a very vocal opponent of the draconian COVID-19 mandates and supporter of patients desiring alternative treatments.
In other Democrat hypocrisy, seven staffers from “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” were arrested by authorities for being in a Capitol Hill building, unescorted, and without proper ID. The building was closed to the public at the time, and Capitol Police said they had asked the group to leave the grounds earlier in the day, which they clearly did not do. Despite the fact that they have been arrested for the exact same crime as the J6 defendants, I’m guessing they won’t be denied bail, held in solitary for 18 months, deprived of running water, yada yada yada. Cuz, you know, Stephen Colbert drools over Democrats and in what passes for justice in D.C., it is all about politics.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD: Citing staffing problems and the looming SCOTUS decision, PP has closed four abortuaries in Vermont and another one in New Hampshire.
PROJECT VERITAS: [18:08] – Tucker Carlson updates us on the disturbing lengths the Biden FBI went to to get a hold of Ashley’s diary. See Bad Dad above.
GRAMMY NOTES: I used to teach RCIA classes to adults seeking to become Catholics. One of our students told us about going through the Creed with her Protestant mom. She said she explained “the community of saints” like this. “All believers still alive on Earth are little s saints; the ones who have died and gone to Heaven are middle s saints; and the ones the Church has canonized are Capital S Saints.”
Once upon a long time ago, I did a deep dive into the calendar of Jesus’ time on Earth, relying in part on the sky signs revealed in the DVD “The Star of Bethlehem” and in part on the clues given in the Gospels. As close as I could determine, Jesus’ actual birthday was today, back in the year 1 BC (aka, Sivan 8, 3761).
I know we always pretend that the Magi visited Him in the manger, but Luke 2:11 says, “On coming to the house, [the Magi] saw the child with his mother Mary.” And based on when the Star of Bethlehem paused over the town, the actual day the Magi visited Jesus was Kislev 21, 3762, when Jesus was six months old.
CHICOMS: Two months ago, three Chinese banks froze at least $178 million of deposits. There still has been no explanation for why people aren’t being allowed to access their own money. Hundreds of those affected put together a plan to protest which the government foiled by simply flipping their health codes from green to red. Chinese citizens can’t go anywhere unless their smart phones show they have green health codes.
FAUCI: Dr. Anthony “I am the SCIENCE” Fauci has come down with COVID-19. No doubt he attributes the mildness of his case to the fact that he is quadruple-vaxxed. Now me … if I got even one dose of a vaccine and caught the disease anyway, I’d have questions. Not these twerps. They have eagerly rolled up their sleeves FOUR times (so far), then when they get the disease anyway, they’re like, “Thank goodness I was vaxxxed!”
HYPOCRISY: A pro-abortion activist hopped over the barricades and chained himself to a fence outside the Supreme Court. He believes that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser intervened to get the charges against him dropped.
MONKEYPOX: The head of the U.N.’s World Health Organization (WHO) has announced a plan to change the name of monkeypox, because there is an “urgent need for a non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing nomenclature.”
The Left: We’re worried about stigmatizing monkeys. Also the Left: It’s still okay to call Conservatives and Christians nasty names.
NEW YORK: On Monday, Gov. Hochul called pro-lifers “Neanderthals” as she signed six new laws to protect abortion on demand here in America’s abortion capital.
PRO-ABORT: Early Monday morning in Olympia, WA, two unidentified men were caught on video firebombing a pro-life Republican’s campaign office. This is the 17th terror attack on a pro-life facility since the leak of the SCOTUS Roe draft.
VAXXX: Mark Steyn talks about SADS. [9:02] – In British Columbia, a 40-year-old father has won compensation from the Canadian government after suffering an adverse reaction connected to the COVID-19 vaccine.
VFAUXTUS: CLICK https://rumble.com/v18jmjl-tucker-endorses-vp-harris-in-hilarious-segment.html [6:54] to hear Tucker Carlson talk about how “The Left is Being Very Mean to Kamala Harris.” Tucker is hysterical; listening to Joe and Kamala is painful. As for Joe’s claim that Kamala was the “first woman elected to national office,” sorry, but no. The actual first woman elected to national office was Republican Jeannette Rankin, who was sworn in as the U.S. representative from Montana way back on March 4, 1917.
