GRAMMY NOTES: Dearest and I met at a church retreat. We’re celebrating 45 years together this year. All our kids are devout lovers of Our Lord and raising their kids in the faith. Please, young people, don’t waste your time dating people who won’t make good moms, dads, grandparents and life mates! I have zero regrets for the dateless nights I spent waiting for the Lord to show me the man He had chosen for me!

[2:43:23] – Full length discussion with famous detransitioner, Chloe Cole, on Pints with Aquinas. Below are some choices from the comments:
Awesome to see how much she’s grown and gotten stronger since the Peterson episode. God bless her.
Eastern Orthodox ex transgender person here, if anyone wants to pray for me that would be great. It’s been really tough lately. Glory to Jesus Christ!
Transitioned at 28. De-transitioning at 38. Stopped the medication three weeks ago. It feels really lonely. I don’t think even my church, Episcopal, is going to be very supportive. I’m just trying to trust God and clean up my mess.
Former transgender here. My story is very similar to Chloe’s, albeit I was a male “transitioning” to female. Rough childhood, unstable home, sexual abuse, minimal social life. I was also encouraged by doctors and mental health professionals to continue with the transition. I thank the Lord that He shielded me from the medical side of things and healing me of my gender dysphoria. I was Protestant for a few years, but am now fully received into the Catholic Church since Easter. God loves you, He will heal you and save from this darkness. Glory to the Triune God ️
I love it when she says she realized, “”There’s nothing I could ever be but a woman. And it’s not easy. But it’s not about easy. It’s a gift.”
As a former lgbt community member myself, I’m so proud that we are rallying together to support each other in this month. Prayers for Chloe Cole!!!
Chloe Cole was one of the people who helped me realize at 18 why I wanted to transition and why it was so harmful. I’m grateful to her for sharing her story, especially the gruesome details. We share many of the same reasons that drove us to want to transition. I lived as a transman ages 14-28. I detransitioned a year ago. Medical complications made detransition extremely difficult, but I am endlessly grateful that I was healed in a very deep way and liberated from a disorder that makes your life absolute hell. For those of us who actually had this condition, transgenderism, it was the worst physical torture and I would not wish it on my worst enemies. It’s absolutely delusional and CRUEL to try pushing people into this condition- which will either be totally artificial because they don’t legitimately have transgenderism, or will be a deeper hell by entrenching them in a disorder that did not happen naturally.
Chloe is so articulate in revealing how our current culture has created a perfect storm for gender dysphoria to arise. What a beautiful and brilliant person.
Chloe’s courage in the face of the Trans-activists backlash and vilification is truly astounding. What a woman
She brought up all of the factors we should be talking about – history of abuse, broken families, autism, social media fixation, overconsumption of anime and manga. It’s crazy how 99.9% of the time you’ll find some form of this cocktail in transgender people. And of course P, especially with men.
It’s so sad and frustrating that Chloe was failed at every single stage of her adolescence. By her parents, peers, doctors, teachers, etc… God bless her.
Chloe seems like such a sweet and kind young woman with such a big heart, which only makes her story even more tragic and sad. I’m so glad that she’s speaking out about her experience and I really appreciate her boldness in doing so.
I am from Africa I can not comprehend how deep was her pain but there is no any advocate of justice for a kid like this. It is injustice that happen to a 15 years old girl or minor . This crime is more than rape and murder. Pls bring this kind of crime to justice.
Gosh she’s really blossomed and is so beautiful and bright! I remember her very first interviews – she never smiled. She seemed to have a lot of heavy sadness and was perhaps tentative about putting her story out there back then that I really felt for her but she’s looking so positive and uplifted here – very happy for her journey and happy to see her laughing and smiling so wide!
So happy for her. She seems so much more vibrant and self-assured than in previous interviews. Hope she is healing spiritually, physically and emotionally.
Love her, “thank you sir” at the end. What a lovely young lady. Prayers for her as she continues speaking out!

2A: One June 14, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) exceeded its authority when it decided that a semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock is a machine gun.
FAUXTUS: We are not safe. [6:25] – Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy recalled an ‘awkward’ moment he had with President Biden ‘behind-the-scenes’ at the White House. The ‘Outnumbered’ panel discusses concerns over the president’s mental acuity at the G7 with Russian warships 100 miles off the coast of Florida.
SCIENCE: A study entitled “Size Matters? Penis Dissatisfaction and Gun Ownership in America” was published in the American Journal of Men’s Health on May 31, 2024. It debunked the oft-told myth that men own guns to compensate for their lack of masculine attributes. In fact, researchers found that men who are dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to own guns.
TESLA: Back in 2018, 73% of Tesla’s shareholders voted to give Elon Musk shares worth about 12% of the company if, and only if, he hit several revenue milestones. If he failed, he’d get nothing. He not only succeeded, but even exceeded those goals and received the stock.
One envious boo-hooer, a guy who owns all of 9 shares in the company, sued, and in January of this year, an activist Delaware judge voted in his favor, saying the value of the stock was “unfathomable” and “unfair to shareholders.”
This month, Tesla shareholders reinstated the bonus. They also voted to move the company … and all of its tax revenue … from Delaware to Texas. So, judge, tell me … was your ruling fair to the taxpayers of Delaware?
GRAMMY NOTES: [1:16] – Woohoo!! Bootz has just been granted a scholarship for the K-6 STEM Camp Invention and Bunny will be participating in the middle schoolers’ Leaders in Training program as a junior counselor. I’m so excited for them!!

COLD WAR: Four Russian warships, one of them a nuclear-powered submarine, are now stationed in Cuba. Experts believe they are here in part because Biden let Ukraine use US weapons inside of Russia.
OLYMPICS: [N.b., the first bit is true. He has been barred from the Olympics. The rest is from Babylon Bee.] – After the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) made a shocking ruling on Thursday that Lia Thomas, a man, would not be allowed to compete on the U.S. women’s Olympic team, Thomas requested further clarification on whether he might be allowed to still just hang out naked in the women’s locker room on occasion or something like that.
“That’s fine if I can’t compete, but can I, maybe, I dunno, just hang out naked in the women’s locker room?” said Thomas to the committee, according to sources. “I can, you know, help with the swimming gear and towels and whatnot. And I’d be naked while I’m doing it. No big deal.”
“That shouldn’t be too much to ask for a brave trans pioneer like me.”
Thomas’s request to lurk in the locker room invoked the spirit of Pride Month, saying all he wants is the right to creep out women while at the same time indulging in his own gross fetish even if he won’t be allowed to humiliate those women in competitive sports.
At publishing time, Planet Fitness and 24 Hour Fitness had both reached out to tell him he’s welcome to hang out naked in their women’s locker rooms any time.
PHILATELY: [15:02 and 16:17] – Tin Can Mail … it was a real thing.

2024: Another key Democrat demographic is switching sides.
BORDER: Eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were busted recently during a three city, multi-force sting operation. The arrests took place in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. All eight are here illegally.
CALIFORNICATION: On May 25, a former soap opera actor named Johnny Wactor was shot and killed in downtown Los Angeles. He interrupted thieves attempting to steal the catalytic converter from his car. In response, a Democrat Los Angeles City Council member — there are no Republicans — blamed the automaker for failing to make the catalytic converters harder to steal.
CLIMATE: A new study entitled “Abrupt reduction in shipping emission as an inadvertent geoengineering termination shock produces substantial radiative warming” was published on May 30 in Nature.
In it, a team of high-powered NASA scientists report that 80% of the global warming that has occurred since the turn of the decade has been the result of the abrupt 80% cut in sulphur dioxide emissions from international shipping mandated in 2020.
The science is simple. “Fewer fuel particles injected into the atmosphere reduce cloud droplet density and this leads to clouds that reflect less solar radiation back into space.”
DIVISION: The Southern Poverty Law Center puts any group that opposes medical gender transitioning of minors on their hate map. Their latest addition was a group that was founded by a lesbian.
CLICK https://x.com/luketress/status/1800376900692607378 [:17] to see another example of leftist division. At a pro-Hamas protest, a black man tells a bunch of Jews, “I wish H*tler was still here, he would’ve wiped you all out,” man tells Jews in Union Square during “Day of Rage” protests.”
FAUXTUS: CLICK https://x.com/RNCResearch/status/1800317831029907900 [:55] to see Dementia Joe in an episode of akinesia. Akinesia “can make your face look like it’s frozen in one facial expression. It can also make you walk with a distinct rigid movement known as ‘gait freezing.’”
In an article about Parkinson’s Disease, Healthline describes other symptoms we’ve been seeing, including: shaking of muscles (tremors) in your hands and fingers, especially when you’re resting or distracted; softening of the voice or slowed speech; not being able to stand up straight or maintain a certain posture; moving slowly and taking longer to finish physical tasks (bradykinesia).
HUNTER: [15:21] – I’m wondering what will happen to Hunter’s tax problems if Joe gets taken off the ticket.
JAN. 6: Donald Trump has famously claimed that on January 6 “Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers. If she didn’t turn down the soldiers, you wouldn’t have had Jan 6.” CLICK https://rumble.com/v50s39o-newly-relased-jan-6-video-catches-shocking-pelosi-admission.html [1:28] to see a newly released video in which Pelosi takes responsibility for Jan. 6.

BIDEN: [7;12] – More plagiarism in Normandy.
CALIFORNICATION: Over the last four years, 53.3% of Californians who made more than $150K per year have fled the state. Gov. Gavin’s proposals for making up the $27.6 billion budget deficit include:
There are no Republicans holding any statewide office.
CATHOLIC: A video portal was installed in New York City and in Dublin to allow passersby to connect with people in real time between the two locations. In May, Dominican priests who live just around the corner from the portal in Ireland led the rosary with Catholics in both locations. There are plans to host future video portal rosaries on the 22nd of each month. There are videos at the link.
D.C.: Last week, a female carjacked and crashed a vehicle with an elderly woman still in it. The kidnap victim was pronounced dead following the incident. Democrat US Attorney Matthew Graves is charging the perp with a single count of unarmed carjacking.
Two years ago, an elderly woman participated in a prayer protest that temporarily blocked an abortion clinic. Democrat US Attorney Matthew Graves charged her with violating the FACE Act; she was recently sentenced to two years behind bars.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a gain. We are not like them.
HUNTER: After deliberating for just three hours, the jury found Son of Fauxtus guilty on all three counts stemming from his purchase and owning of a firearm while being addicted to illegal drugs.
It seems likely the fact that the Biden DOJ allowed the case to go forward so the administration’s legal vendetta against Trump would have some appearance of non-partisanship. But note that the gun crimes predate Joe’s term in the White House.
We all remember how the Secret Service was totally stumped when it came to figuring out who had brought a bag of cocaine into the super secure White House while the First Son was visiting. The videos from that day show Hunter was high-as-a-kite … but I’m sure that was all just a coinkidink.
TRUMP: CLICK https://x.com/adamwren/status/1800243541857464674 [:21] to hear him tell Evangelicals, “You just can’t vote Democrat. They’re against religion. They’re against your religion in particular. You cannot vote for Democrats, and you have to get out and vote. We have to defend religious liberty, free speech, innocent life, and the heritage and tradition that built America into the greatest nation in the history of the world.”
TEXAS: More on Democrats weaponizing our justice system to advance their progressive agenda – Biden’s DOJ has arrested Dr. Eitan Haim and charged him with four felony counts of violating HIPAA.
What Dr. Haim actually did was blow the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital, which was violating a Texas law banning child butchery. Oops, I mean, “gender-affirming sex-change surgery.” The federal charges claim he revealed personal and private medical records, but according to the report I read, he went to painstaking lengths to redact names and other identifying info of the victims.
DONATE to Dr. Haim’s judicial fund @ https://www.givesendgo.com/texas_whistleblower. They are a little more than half way to their goal.

BACK THE BLUE: CLICK https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1799912615176786151 [2:41] to see a recent incident that could be a scene from Flashpoint. The bad guy, Sterling Alavache (36), had an “extensive criminal history” from several states that included drug trafficking, aggravated assault, and carrying a concealed firearm. At the time he was rendered “no longer a threat”, he was holding two hostages at knife point and claiming he also had a bomb.
CATHOLIC: I just came across an interesting argument in favor of the Catholic doctrine that the Blessed Virgin Mary was taken, body and soul, into Heaven. Microchimerism.
From Wikipedia: “Microchimerism is the presence of a small number of cells in an individual that have originated from another individual and are therefore genetically distinct. … In humans (and perhaps in all placental mammals), the most common form is fetomaternal microchimerism (also known as fetal cell microchimerism or fetal chimerism) whereby cells from a fetus pass through the placenta and establish cell lineages within the mother. Fetal cells have been documented to persist and multiply in the mother for several decades.”
It seems absurd to suppose that God would have allowed Mary’s body to rot in the ground, if His Son’s divine cells were inside her.
ISRAEL: Eight months after the heinous attack by Hamas on Israel, four of the hostages have been rescued by a joint operation conducted by the IDF, Israel Security Agency, and Israel Police. They are reportedly in good health.
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said the mission was based on “precise” intelligence and that Israeli forces came under fire during the operation. United States Central Command got so much flak for possibly having assisted in rescuing hostages from a terrorist organization that they put out a statement clarifying that Biden’s humanitarian pier was not used in the rescue.
RELIGION: In Spokane, WA, and in Delray Beach, FL, teens have been charged with felony crimes for leaving tire marks on a “pride” crosswalk. In both cities, the crosswalks were immediately repainted. Never mind all that crap they spew about “separation of church and state.” This LGBTQXYZ crap has become the state religion in some areas of our country.
TRANS: The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) and the FBI have both refused to release the diary, aka manifesto, of the trans woman, Audrey Hale, who invaded her alma mater, Covenant School, and murdered three adults and three children. However, the Tennessee Star has obtained copies of nearly 80 pages. They reveal a mentally disturbed young woman who was suckered into believing all her problems were the result of being born in the wrong gender body.
GRAMMY NOTES: A friend’s home schooled son was procrastinating about doing his work, so he told him, “If you don’t stop giving your mother a hard time, we might have to stop home schooling. If you have to go a regular school, you will still have to do stuff like this. But when you finish, you’ll have to do more stuff just like it, over and over again, until the end of the day. Then, you will get even more of the same to do in the evening. If you want to continue to enjoy home schooling, go finish this stuff NOW, and then you can do as you please for the rest of the day.”

Democrat cannabis tax attorney (her words) Paula Collins, who is running to defeat Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in New York’s 21st congressional district, explained to her fans that a Democrat victory in November is not enough to “save the country.”
“Even if we were to have a resounding blue wave come through, as many of us would like, putting it all back together again after we’ve gone through this MAGA nightmare and re-educating basically, which that sounds like a rather, a re-education camp,” she explained. Remember when the fascist governments in Australia and Canada locked people up in COVID camps?
Alex DeGrasse, a senior advisor to Rep. Stefanik, noted that the Marxist congressional candidate is a carpetbagger who previously lived full-time in New York City before moving to a rented bed and breakfast room in NY-21.
Rather than take back her remarks, Collins instead DOUBLED DOWN on having MAGA fans “re-educated” in an interview with Fox News. Except she referred to it as “civics education.” Uh huh. Hitler did this too. The following is from the Encyclopedia Britannica:
“After Adolf Hitler’s accession to power in 1933, the Nazis … attempted to exert complete control over the populace. Every institution was infused with National Socialist ideology and infiltrated by Nazi personnel in chief positions. … The control of the schools began in March 1933.”

2024: Sweet, sweet music. [6:17] – I checked Real Clear Politics for pre- and post-conviction Trump vs. Biden polls in Battleground States. The Pre- numbers are the average of the May polls. There are only one of some so far for Post-.
CATHOLIC: This is the first I’ve heard of this. The Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916) allegedly took a photo of the Eucharistic Jesus while it was exposed on the altar. When the film was developed the picture above of the Child Jesus appeared. Sometime later, Jesus told the monk, “I promise to send my Blessings and my Peace to each Home where this image is found.” However the image happened, it’s beautiful and moves me, so I’m going to print and frame it for our home.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: “TWO OF THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD, ABUSED WORDS in the English language. Even in science & math, there are very few things we can actually prove. At best, science is able to say that its current theories are mostly (rarely, entirely) consistent with the latest evidence; but it can never rule out other explanations that are equally (or even more) consistent with the evidence. Math requires believing in unprovable axioms in order to prove its theorems.” – Michael Guillén, PhD

BIG, FAT LIARS: [8:22] – The Leftist media sucks.
GRAMMY NOTES: That is close to the position He is in at the moment the image on the Shroud of Turin was formed. One researcher reported that His eyes appear to be both closed and open. I like to imagine the image was created by the explosion of energy from LIFE being infused into His body all at once as His eyes flew open and he jerked up, taking His first breath.

ABORTION: CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1798376707738747332 [:12] to hear HOW IT’S GOING.
On the other side, I present Paulette Harlow (75), the oldest of the nine protesters who have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from 10 months to five years for allegedly violating the FACE Act.
The FACE Act prohibits “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain, or provide reproductive health services.”
Harlow said, “We prayed, we sang music, and we called out to some of the women and told them not to be afraid, that we could help them, that they could still change their mind, and that we love them.” She also said, “I went to the sentencing, and I felt very confident, and I felt very joyful, and I felt like it was a tremendous privilege to stand in the court on behalf of the unborn, who have no voice.”
The same judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, sentenced all nine of the pro-lifers. At the end, she told Harlow, who will turn 76 later this month, to “make an effort to remain alive” throughout her two year incarceration. Sen. Ted Cruz called her a disgrace to the justice system. Harlow and her co-defendants say they have been praying for Harlow since the trial began.
We are not the same.
