CALIFORNICATION: At least 84 of California’s 483 municipalities — including Beverly Hills, Cupertino and Pasadena — have enacted smoking bans in multi-family private residences. Second hand smoke literally makes me ill, but even I draw the line at passing laws dictating what people can and can not do within their own homes. It’s a very slippery slope!

J6: Former Pennsylvania social studies teacher Jason Moorehead was just awarded $131,500 by a federal jury after it was found that he was defamed and ultimately fired from his job simply for traveling to Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021 to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally.

MICHIGAN: Michigan has declared it is too late for RFK Jr. to remove his name as the Natural Law Party’s candidate on their state’s ballots. Just two months ago, Dems sued to keep him off the Michigan ballot. Now they won’t let him off.

What changed? Hmm … maybe Dems figured out that more of his supporters would vote for Trump if he wasn’t on the ballot. Trump won Michigan by 0.3% in 2016. However, Harris is currently leading in Michigan by 10 points, so RKF Jr’s name probably won’t make that much of a difference to who gets the state’s 15 electoral votes.

FOX NEWS: [16:51] – JD Vance reacts to Kamala Harris’ CNN sit-down: This was ‘pretty bizarre’

BIDENOMICS: In her CNN interview, she said she cares about the hopes and dreams of the middle class. IMO, the biggest of these is home ownership. Kamala has also said, repeatedly, “Bidenomics is working!” Well, Bidenomics has made buying a home totally out of reach of the average middle class family. So which Kamala do we believe? The one who has done so much to destroy the middle class or the new campaign version who says she wants us to achieve our goals?

PENNSYLVANIA: In the Fox News segment above, they mentioned Pennsylvania. I looked at 270 to Win and Polymarket Polls to understand why Pennsylvania is so important. 270 To Win has the electoral count for blue states at 226 vs. for red states at 219.

There are seven swing states. Polymarket’s polling shows Harris has a ten point lead in two states (MI, WI), which are worth 25 electoral votes. If she got them all, she’d have 251. Trump has a ten point lead in three states (AZ, GA, NC), which are worth 43 electoral votes. If he got them all, he would have 262.

The Polymarket poll shows the candidates are polling at less than 10 points apart in the remaining two swing states. In Nevada (6 electoral votes), it’s Harris 47% vs. Trump 53%. Winning Nevada would get Harris to 257 or Trump to 268. Neither is enough to win.

The key to this year’s presidential vote is the final close swing state, which is Pennsylvania with 19 electoral votes. In Pennsylvania, the Polymarket poll shows Trump currently has a slim 2 point lead: Harris 49% vs. Trump 51%.

RFK Jr has said he removed his name from the Pennsylvania ballot, because his internal polling showed that 57% of his voters favor Trump over Harris. His decision to throw his support behind Trump could very well be the deciding factor in November.

THE BODY LANGUAGE GUY: [43:04] – “It was a train wreck, but … I never imagined it would be as bad as this.”

WALZ: [7:45] – Megyn Kelly gets passionate about lies and stolen value. Hear, hear.

FAUXTUS: Proud Army Brat tweeted “Biden just left his week-long vacation in Santa Ynez, California for Dover, Delaware, where he’ll head to Rehoboth Beach for a 9 day vacation. Since stating he dropped out of the race, 34 days ago, he’s spent just 6 days at the White House. WHO IS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY?” My guess is … the same people who have been running it since they forced Trump out and who will continue to run it if Kamala wins.

SHROUD OF TURIN: I was an Art History major with a focus on Christian, particularly Medieval, art. I remember reading how the faces of Jesus demonstrate that the Shroud of Turin was known in the earliest centuries.

Besides the center part, long hair, mustache and beard that we all instantly recognize as Jesus-like, there are two other features that can be tied directly to the Shroud.

One is the staring eyes, which one Shroud analyst has demonstrated are images of two coins that were placed over His eyes to keep them closed.

Another is the stray strand of hair on the forehead, which you can see in the 5th-6th c. image. (You also see it on the Christ-like comic character, Superman.) Analysts say the mark on the Shroud is blood.

UNIFY: Esp since, to them, “unify” means “throw away all your values and beliefs and agree with us.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I saw this posted on Facebook – “I used to sit next to this older gentleman in my church choir and he would just laugh to himself every time a baby would cry or children would scream. He one day saw the look of annoyance on my face and said, ‘that noise you hear is a song of hope for the future of the church. It means the church is still alive.’ He has since passed but every time I hear a child get out of hand at church I just laugh and think of him.” ❤

MICHIGAN: Democrats have been trying to keep Cornel West off state ballots. On Saturday, a Michigan state judge ruled against their efforts, which he agreed were “frivolous and unfounded attempts to stifle opposition and debate.“

I can see why the Dems are agitated. He’s a Black “preacher” man whose positions are all on the Left. IOW, his presence on ballots ensures a portion of votes are siphoned away from Harris-Walz.

I skimmed his platform. It includes: “embracing safe and legal abortion”; nationalizing the fossil fuel industry to “decisively phase out the relics of our carbon-dependent past”; “reparations for Black U.S. Residents”; “ensuring the right to vote for all, including those currently and formerly incarcerated”; defund police; empty jails; abolishing ICE; defunding border patrol; abolish “right to work” laws; nationalize free child care and free pre-K; free college; cancel student loans.

So, is monkeypox really a public health threat? Or is Big Pharma using a COVID-19 “vaccine” side effect to make more money?

ROBERT KENNEDY JR: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. he is no longer running for president. He has also officially endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election.

He cites free speech, the war in Ukraine, and what he described as “the war on our children” for both his initial decision to leave the Democratic Party and run as an Independent and also his decision to support Trump’s candidacy.

He said the Democratic Party used to be “the party of labor, of the working class … the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and corporate power.” But now it has become “the Party of War, Censorship, Corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, and big money.”

He also formally announced that he will partner with President Trump’s administration to fight against Big Pharma.

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/piSCs88vvVQ to see a lenticular mosaic of the Mona Lisa. In LEGO! (A lenticular lens is an array of lenses, designed so that when viewed from slightly different angles, different parts of the image underneath are shown.)

Bishop James Johnston of the Missouri Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph has announced the results of a medical examination of the body of Benedictine Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster. Experts found no signs of decomposition in the body! In addition, there was found nothing abnormal in the soil that could have prevented the body’s decomposition.

Sister Wilhelmina died on May 29, 2019 and was buried in a plain wooden box. Jack Klein, owner of Hixson-Klein Funeral Home in Gower, Missouri, who was present at Sister Wilhelmina’s burial and issued her death certificate, confirms she was not embalmed and that the wood coffin was not placed into any outer burial container. After four years, her body should have decomposed, possibly down to the bones. Instead, when her body was exhumed (so it could be reburied in a more fitting place), it was found to not only be intact, but to also have no odor.

Sister Wilhelmina entered religious life after graduating valedictorian of her high school. After the Second Vatican Council, her order, like many, chose to stop wearing a traditional habit. When Sister Wilhelmina could not convince the order to return to the habit, she founded a new order – the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles – with the help of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, a priestly society dedicated to the traditional Latin Mass.

Given the Vatican’s attempts in recent years to obliterate the Latin Mass, I can’t help seeing this miracle as a direct message to Pope Francis. Under Pope Benedict XVI, any Catholic priest could celebrate Mass using the rubrics of the Tridentine, or pre-Vatican II liturgy. The basic differences between the ordinary form of the Mass (Vatican II form, which can be celebrated in any language, including Latin) and the extraordinary form of the Mass (Tridentine) are in the focus of the rites.

In the extraordinary form, the priest faces east, with his back to the people, and all the prayers (which date back to the 16^th century) are said in Latin. Responses are spoken by altar servers who must be male. In some cases, altar servers are “acolytes”, young men who have received a special blessing, because they intend to become priests. The focus here is on worship of the Holy God. The altar is a table of bloodless sacrifice. Everybody faces God and all prayers are directed to Him. The priest and altar servers are separated from the congregation by an altar rail, Holy Communion is received directly on the tongue while kneeling, and many of the women wear mantillas (veils) on their heads.

In the ordinary form, the priest faces the congregation and the people participate in the prayers, which were adapted at Vatican II and are usually in the local, or vernacular, language. If there is a community of non-native believers and a priest who speaks their language, priests are free to celebrate in their native language. The focus here is less on pure worship and more on community celebration in the spirit of the Last Supper. Holy Communion is received into the hands, though if you stick your tongue out, the priest will almost always oblige. The dress tends to be more casual and girls can serve at the altar.

In the summer of 2021, Pope Francis began his assault on the extraordinary form, which he sees as promoting schism within what is supposed to be a universal church. There was a lot of pushback from Catholics who are attached to the extraordinary form, but instead of backing down, in 2023, he doubled down with even more restrictions. I cannot help but see a direct connection between Sr. Wilhelmina’s commitment to the Tridentine Mass, the date of her death, the dates of Pope Francis’ attempts to squash the traditional liturgy, and the date of the exhumation and discovery that God had miraculously preserved her body incorrupt.

GRAMMY NOTES: [2:02] – Home schooling has started again! Not that the kidlets stopped learning all summer. The Mascots had loads of learning experiences this summer, with nature walks, camps, museums, and more, while three of their cousins went to AUSTRALIA for two weeks!! Talk about field trips! LOL

In other news, the military mom of the world travelers is being deployed overseas for three years, so they and dad will be joining her! Since they’ll be getting to their new duty station in mid-year, they decided to get the curricula from the school they’ll be attending and have dad home school them until they move. So Dad has sold his business and is embarking on a new educational experience of his own as a home school principal, teacher, and PT instructor cuz … when your teacher is a retired Army Sergeant, you can expect the home school day to start with calisthenics!

And BIG BONUS, I’m going to be their art teacher! I’m so excited!! I’ll be teaching twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays … just in case you notice some unusual lapses in my posting schedule. I’ve got loads of planning to do!
