The Feast of the Assumption of Mary

Today is the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. It’s also the fourth decade in the Glorious Mysteries and a particular favorite of mine.

To my way of thinking (NOT Catholic doctrine!!), Jesus’ Resurrection is our model for what will happen when the dead rise, while Mary’s Assumption is our model for what will happen when those who are alive in Christ get caught up to be with Him (aka, the Rapture).

I’ve heard Catholics claim that “we” don’t believe in the Rapture, but the RCC actually has no teaching on the Rapture. Personally, I don’t see any other explanation for the following:

“And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.” Matt 24:30-31

N.b., He will appear in heaven and the angels will gather the elect only.

A bit later, He taught, “at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left.” ~Matt 24:39-41

N.b., only the elect will be taken.

Some say this is the Final Judgment, but of that He said, “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.” Matt 25:31-33

N.b., He will appear on his throne with everyone gathered before him, then He will separate the sheep (elect) from the goats (damned).

BTW, as for the question of whether Mary died before she was Assumed, body and soul into Heaven –In the Middle East, the roofs of the houses are flat and used as porches. On hot nights, everyone sleeps up there where it’s cooler. I think at least one person woke up and saw Mary be taken up, but no one had any reason to know if her earthly body had died first. But, she told the seers at Medjugorje that she never died.

N.b., in the Eastern church, they celebrate what they call the Dormition of Mary. Dormition means sleep.

The coroner initially ruled her death a homicide, but was pressured into changing it to suicide. Her family has finally gotten the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to look at whether they have standing to challenge the coroner’s ruling.

Why does this matter? Because then-Attorney General Josh Shapiro handled the case. Shapiro, who is now Pennsylvania’s governor, has family history with both Goldberg’s family and with the Bidens.

More on the Musk-Trump chat

Go to https://notthebee.com/article/elons-conversation-with-trump-has-already-surpassed-1-billion-views if you want to see short highlight clips from the two hour chat.

It must be driving the Lefties nuts that two of their own (white billionaires) have gone so far off the plantation that they actually provide not one, but two social media platforms that not only are not censoring Trump, but also are being listened to by prime demographics!

Dem’s response?

Plan A) Try to stop it from happening. CLICK https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1823126481158947026 [1:19] to see a WaPo White House reporter ask KJP if the White House can squash the chat.

Plan B) When A fails, “inform” readers that they don’t need to listen and make up their own minds, because it just proved Elon and Trump are both terrible people.

CNN deceptively edited out the context of a conversation on nuclear energy to make it seem like the two men were making light of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1823413580038857108 [:40]. CLICK https://x.com/itsNTBmedia/status/1823431827496816641 [2:18] to hear what they were saying before the CNN edit.

USA Today reported on the chat like this: “Trump rambles, slurs his way through Elon Musk interview. It was an unmitigated disaster. For a fascism-curious billionaire who loves cuddling up to right-wing loons, Elon Musk sure is good at making right-wing politicians look stupid.”

The Guardian reported: “The Musk-Trump X interview: a surprisingly dull meeting of two planet-sized egos”

Politico reported: “Elon Musk promised an entertaining Trump interview on X Live. Instead, we got more technical difficulties. Trump’s interview started about 45 minutes late after the platform glitched for the second time this election cycle.”

Elon and Donald chat

CLICK https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1823218454369124491 [2:00:15] to listen to the famous Elon and Donald chat. I’ve been listening to it off and on, still have a ways to go. But I had some thoughts.

Musk claimed the combined views over multiple platforms hit 1 billion. Even if Musk exaggerated the numbers ten-fold, at least 100 million people listened to this unscripted chat. That is far more than half the 161.42 million registered voters! And they all know how bad the Biden-Harris economy is!

I did an internet search and got the following (links below). It’s interesting to see how lockstep they are with their “unbiased” reporting.

  1. New York Times – Musk’s Trump Talk: After Glitchy Start, a Two-Hour Ramble
  2. Business Insider – Elon Musk and Donald Trump Sat Down for a Rambling Conversation on X
  3. Reuters – Rambling Trump, Musk interview marred by tech issues
  4. AP – Musk’s interview with Trump marred by technical glitches
  5. CNN – Fact Check: Trump Musk 20 False Claims
  6. The Atlantic – Falsely Claimed that 60 million people were listening
  7. TIME – Once the interview ended, Harris’ campaign responded with a statement saying, “Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself—self-obsessed rich guys who will …
  8. BBC – Donald Trump made a number of questionable and false claims – which went largely unchallenged.
  9. NPR – Interview light on news amid technical issues
  10. CBS – Musk, the world’s richest man, according to Forbes, claimed without evidence that X had experienced a cyber “attack.”

BORDER: Never Forget! Biden and Harris threw our borders wide open and let in a veritable invasion force of illegal aliens, many of whom are the dregs of other country’s populations. And, thanks to Dem-backed “Defund the Police” and Soros-backed far-left District Attorneys, these criminals, sickos, and wannabe terrorists are free to terrorize law-abiding, American citizens. Personally, I think it’s all part of a larger plot to nationalize policing, but that’s another story.

EVs: Got this in a group text from a family friend – “Prayers please … I hate this electric rental car. On the phone with Avis. Probably driving 2 hours out of the way to ___ airport to switch. None of their reported charging stations they listed are in working order or accessible. Will be late arriving ___ tonight. Slightly freaking out.” Response from dd – “We had the same issue. Hubby hated it. I can promised you we won’t be buying a EV car anytime soon.” Thankfully, our friends arrived at the airport before their charge ran out and Avis swapped them at no charge. (Ha ha, no charge. Get it? ::groan::)

FREE SPEECH: Thank God and the Founding Fathers we have the First Amendment.

MARRIAGE: [1:11] – More than one therapist said in the comments, “I’m going to use this in my practice.”

SLIME STREAM: You can’t hate them enough.

TAX ON TIPS: Kamala has been saying in her stump speech that she will eliminate the tax on tips for hospitality workers. Not only did she copy this from Trump, but also there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell she’d actually make good on it.

Just last week,she said on Social media, “Two years ago today, I proudly cast the tie-breaking vote to pass our Inflation Reduction Act.” Dems claimed it would “make our tax code fairer by cracking down on millionaires, billionaires, and corporations that evade their obligations.”

The Inflation Reduction Act provided the IRS with $80 billion in additional funding, which they used to hire 87,000 new IRS agents. They promised they would only be going after people making $400K per year or more. BUT … the IRS initiated the tax on tips effort months BEFORE the vote!

DE CLOUD! DE CLOUD! CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3L7wG5TBLVo to hear Kamala explain why your computer files are no longer private. They’re “in this cloud that exists above us.”

ELON MUSK: “Trump bad!” is the sum and substance of the Harris-Walz campaign. That is, when they’re not stealing his ideas and claiming they’ll fix all the problems they caused. It should interest the Undecideds to know that Elon invited Kamala to have the same conversation on his platform, but she refused.

CLICK https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1823218454369124491 [2:00:15] to hear the entire two hour chat that Musk and Trump had. From what I’ve heard, both of these men are genuine geniuses. It’s interesting how much less articulate Musk is than Trump. I am wondering if Trump was coming from a dental appointment. He doesn’t usually have a lisp, but Novocaine will do that to you.

Brandon Morse at Red State reported “it broke records with the interview ultimately receiving a billion views, and that’s on X alone. That’s not counting the amount of people who watched through streams covering the conversation like mine.”

FREUDIAN SLIP: On Sunday, Biden was asked if there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January. He said (truthfully) “If Trump wins, no.” Then, he remembered the Dem Talking Point and said, “I mean, if Trump loses.”

He was right the first time. When our guy was driven out of office by a fake election, none of the pro-Trump protesters brought weapons, including the one who was shot and killed by the same police who had moved the barriers, opened the doors, and invited protesters inside the Capitol Building.

When our guy was arrested and put on trial multiple times on bogus charges, there were protests, but no riots. After Dems tried to sink his candidacy with a humiliating mug shot, we responded by putting it on our coffee mugs and t-shirts.

And, most telling of all, when they shot at him, the only person who died was the shooter. We didn’t protest. We didn’t riot. We didn’t even go around telling our people to “get in their faces and let them know they are not welcome here.”

We are not the problem, America. They are.

IRAN: The Trump campaign has been hacked. Microsoft says it was an Iran-backed group.

NO APOLOGIES: The Harris campaign website has been updated. Instead of calling Walz a “retired Command Sergeant Major”, it now says that he once served at the Command Sergeant Major rank. He retired early without having completed all of the requirements to become a Command Sergeant Major, so he is actually a retired Master Sergeant.

STOLEN VALOR: [8:01] – My Army Reservist has known since last spring what her likely next deployment will be. She is still awaiting official paperwork.

WHO IS POTUS? – The link below presents new evidence that Joe Biden is in worse shape than even we have suspected. I’m not going to go into detail, because it’s been pretty clear for four years that he’s not functioning. Personally, I think BHO is running a shadow third term. I have no evidence, but he did say once that he would like to have a puppet take office so he could continue his agenda.

Biden was interviewed by CBS News Sunday Morning on August 11. I didn’t listen to it, but others says that, among other things, he said he was forced to step down by other Democrat leaders like Pelosi who believe he was damaging their own down-ticket chances to retain power. He also repeated the Dem mantra that Trump is “a genuine danger to American security.” (Project much, people?)

WINSOME SEARS: [6:21] – Please add a #4, Madame Lt Gov … make sure there’s no CHEATING this time!

Kama Llama Ding Dong

HONEYMOON: It looks like the initial enthusiasm for Biden’s replacement is over.

KOPY KAT KAMALA: CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1822462941603516631 [:16] to hear, side by side, how she stole Trump’s policy for no tax on “hospitility” workers. Trump posted on Truth Social that she was only copying him for political purposes. There is no way a President Harris would actually do it. “Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY.”

FWEEDOM: It’s not the first time she has plagiarized materials. In her 2010 book “Smart on Crime” and also her 2019 book “The Truths We Hold: An American Journey”, Harris recounts remembering going to a civil rights rally with her parents. When she became upset, her mother asked her, “Baby, what do you want? What do you need?” She allegedly replied, “Fweedom.”

It’s uncanny how Harris’s story mirrors a tale recounted by Martin Luther King, Jr. in a 1965 Playboy interview: “I never will forget a moment in Birmingham when a white policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, who was walking in a demonstration with her mother. ‘What do you want?’ the policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked him straight in the eye and answered, ‘Fee-dom.’ She couldn’t even pronounce it, but she knew. It was beautiful! Many times when I have been in sorely trying situations, the memory of that little one has come into my mind, and has buoyed me.”

KAMA KAMELEON: The NY Post Editorial Board has published an Op Ed entitled “Kamala Harris is being recast as a centrist Dem — but the radical truth is plain to see.” In it, they note how the lapdog media has been helping Dems hide Harris’ far left record. “A centrist Democrat has a better chance of winning the election, so a centrist she shall be.” They then list “some of Harris’ beliefs that most Americans disagree with, and the press is so desperate to hide.”

Now, she is claiming that, as president, she would not ban fracking. But during the 2020 presidential campaign, she repeatedly said she was in favor of banning both fracking and offshore drilling. And in 2016, Harris, as California attorney general, she sued the Obama administration over fracking approvals off the West Coast.

Now, she claims she no longer supports the enormously unpopular idea of a single-payer healthcare system. But in 2020, when asked if people should be allowed to keep their private health insurance, she said no. “Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”

KAMALAFLAGE: James Bovard posted an opinion piece at the NY Post entitled, “Kamalaflage: Dems race to expunge the evidence of Harris’ leftist history.” In it, he notes that Harris has heartily condemned any effort “to erase and even rewrite the ugly parts of our history.” However, the “ugly parts” of her own record are exempt. TIME magazine (cover above) clearly is on board with this 1984-esque effort.

Bovard also notes, “Harris plainly ascended to the nomination thanks to a de facto coup of Democratic Party kingpins and donors. Yet The Washington Post on Sunday hailed those machinations as ‘the most spectacular transformation in recent American political history, a flashbang midsummer swap at the top of the presidential ticket.’”

COVID TIM: CLICK https://x.com/joma_gc/status/1821896524671992296 to hear Walz explain that he left his mom to fend for herself while recovering from heart surgery, because if he had not isolated her, “that front page story would have gone on day after day after day.” Seriously? He was more worried about his image in the press than about his own mother’s well-being?

Why couldn’t he have arranged for some live-in help? Recovering from heart surgery is rough! Who was there making sure she remembered to eat and take her meds on time? Nobody. Who was there to help her in and out of bed, on and off the toilet? Nobody. Who made sure she was getting washed every day or hadn’t fallen? Nobody.

DEMOCRAT MACHINE: The week after Biden dropped out of the presidential race, the black pastors of more than 50 churches hyped Kamala Harris during their worship services using the same talking points.

KAMALA: She has finally proposed an actual policy. During her rally in Las Vegas on August 10, 2024, Kamala plugged the idea of eliminating taxes on tips for people who work in the service industry, something Donald Trump proposed on June 9, 2024.

MINNESOTA SNITCHES: CLICK https://x.com/Acyn/status/1820954258168279222 [1:06] to hear a segment of the VP hopeful’s stump speech in which he brags about how, in Minnesota, we “respect our neighbors and the personal choices that they make. Even if we don’t make the same choice for ourselves, there’s a golden rule: Mind your own damn business!”

His so-called respect only extends to protecting the rights of adults to brutalize children through abortion and medicalized gender transition. It went out the window when it came to protecting the rights of adults to make personal choices during a (so-called) pandemic. For example, he imposed a mandate on all state employees to to take an experimental MRNA COVID shot.

CLICK https://x.com/ShivenChabria/status/1820894023726592437 [:33] to hear the answering machine message on the hotline say, “The information you leave is considered public information,” it continued. “At the tone, please leave the following information: your name, your callback number, how the stay-at-home order is being violated, and where the stay-at-home order was violated.”

The hotline generated thousands of reports – against people playing basketball, walking their dogs, or attending church, Inexplicably, Walz kept the hotline operational until June 2022.

2024: CLICK https://x.com/JohnLeFevre/status/1822081323944550489 [2:35] to hear Greg Gutfeld explain … in all seriousness … how Trump’s presser yesterday showed everyone the number one reason everyone should want him in the White House.

BAR EXAM: During his presser, Trump mentioned that Harris failed the bar exam. Fact check: She did fail to pass the first time. I don’t like Kamala or her policies, but there are two reasons I can’t care about the bar exam. One is that, when my super-smart niece took the California bar exam and passed the first time, there was a big brouhaha in the family, because half the people who take it fail on their first try. The other is my hubby, who also failed the New York State architecture exam, another notoriously difficult exam. Like my niece, those who pass on their first try are lauded for this accomplishment. He’s an excellent architect.

HATE: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ll3IusVluPc to hear a black woman report on how her “love, peace, and unity” Democrat friends have responded to her deciding to support Trump.

KAMALA: [10:11] – My favorite comment on this video – “A strong and confident woman WOULD talk to the press. Period.”

Fox News reports (video embedded) on Harris talking very briefly with reporters next to a screaming jet for less than 2 minutes. She said absolutely nothing of consequence … much like her campaign website @ https://kamalaharris.com/.

Despite having been the presumptive Democrat nominee for President of the United States for weeks, she has yet to post a single policy position. There are donations buttons, one page bios for her and Walz, a page to sign up to volunteer, an events calendar, and a store.

LOGIC: I saw this on the internet – “When there is an argument, one or both of the people lack some important basic information, so it’s important to figure out what it is.”

Actually, I more often find that we are operating from different unproven basic assumptions. Like when we studied geometry in high school. Point, line, and plane were merely defined; they were never proven to exist. We just started with them as our basic assumptions and moved through our proofs to show what was true and what was untrue. BUT our conclusions were true ONLY in so far as the basic assumptions were true.

When I reach an impasse with someone who is willing to discuss a subject logically, I find it very helpful to back track to find what our basic assumptions are. Most of the time, they are so different that, unless we can find some other common ground, we must agree to disagree.

MILITARY: [3:17] – At Trump’s presser yesterday, he said that he knew the 13 families of the American “soldiers” who were killed at Abbey Gate in Kabul in 2021. The Lamestreamers jeered because, you know, they weren’t all “soldiers.”

This is true. Eleven were Marines. One was a Sailor. One was a Soldier.

Never mind Trump’s actual point, which was that he had taken the time to get to know those families, unlike Biden who was so bored by the whole thing that he kept looking at his watch while their caskets came off the plane.

Still, someone does need to teach Trump that, when speaking of multiples like this, you’re supposed to use “troops” or “service members.”

BTW, I was told by the fruit-of-my-womb Marine that she should be referred to as a “warrior.” The video above says otherwise, but I do what my military kids tell me. They’re all trained in hand-to-hand and armed combat, thank you very much.

Dem Lies

It beats me how these people sleep at night. [17:23]

The Dems are trying to present Tim Walz as a down-to-earth, middle-of-the-roader … a mid-Western version of foksy Joe Biden. His record as governor of Minnesota shows a very different picture.

True down-to-earth, middle-of-the-road mid-Westerners go to church and Walz is no exception. But, like Obama, his church – Pilgrim Lutheran Church in St. Paul – is “a trainwreck of heresy and blasphemy.” Some samples from Sunday sermons:

  • “The culture of individualism and nationalism, personal status and private ownership, are antithetical to the Divine Life longing to be in us.”
  • “(We must) renounce the aspirations in Psalm 8 to rule over creation or imagine that God has set it beneath our feet. What may have been innocent words of praise 3000 years ago, became an ecocidal delusion in the last centuries and decades.”
  • “It’s Trinity Sunday and I must confess, I’m not much interested in reflecting on the sacred mystery of the godhead: three persons in one divinity, whatever that means… Like you, I am torn over the racial injustice, the roots of white supremacy.”

Roughly 80% of the deaths in Walz’s state happened in long-term care settings.

Last year, “Tampon Tim” signed a bill that went into effect Jan. 1, mandating requiring schools to provide menstrual products — including pads, tampons and other items — “in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” State Republican lawmakers tried, but failed to get the bill amended to apply only to girls’ bathrooms.

CLICK https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1821201183714746667 [:26] to hear a top Harris surrogate brag about Walz’s military service, while claiming she was “not aware of any military service that J.D. Vance has ever served.”

FACT CHECK: Vance enlisted in the Marine Corps and served on Active Duty from 2003 to 2007. During that time, he deployed to Iraq for six months. Let’s look at the difference between Vance’s four years Active Duty time in the Marine Corps and Walz’s 24 years in the Army Reserves.

VANCE: Active Duty troops work for a branch of the military full time, living on or very close to the base to which they are assigned. They do get occasional three-day week-ends, time off for certain holidays (depending on what they’re doing), and block leaves after a deployment, so we can reasonably deduct something like 120 days, leaving approximately 1,340 days active service.

WALZ: Reserve units are free to pursue civilian lives, working and living where they choose. Their military service is limited to one weekend per month, plus two weeks per year for training. For Walz that came to about 912 days active service, plus 240 or so additional for one 8-month deployment to a non-combat zone.

WAR SERVICE: Both Active and Reserve units can be deployed for war or natural disaster relief at any time. The big difference with the two here is that, when Vance was deployed, he went. When Walz was asked to deploy, he resigned from the service.

I can empathize with what Joel Berry said (above). I once knew an Army officer who was forced to go to Cornell for a Master’s degree just before the unit she had commanded for several years deployed to Iraq. I won’t detail the level of emotional distress it caused, because it’s not my business to share. But it was bad.

Dems are also trying to make a case that, because Vance was a combat correspondent, he wasn’t “really” a “war veteran.” Sorry, but no. He served in a war zone. Period. Look at the stats in the graphic above. There is an entire category for military deaths that were not the result of combat. These include deaths from bombings, massacres, disease, suicide, and murder. Both my daughters served in non-combat jobs. One of them came within a hair’s bredth of being blown to kingdom come by a suicide bomber. The other (a Marine combat correspondent like Vance) has had multiple surgeries for a disease she picked up while deployed that will affect her for the rest of her life.

And let’s just NOT forget who is actually at the top of the Democrat ticket. CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1820541467271524439 [:14] to hear Kamala summarize her political philosophy.
