2024: Trump won the South Carolina GOP presidential primary with 60% of the vote. Nikki Haley who was the governor of South Carolina from January 12, 2011 to January 24, 2017 got 40%.

BORDER: San Diego County has paid $6 million to South Bay Community Services (SBCS) since October to operate a “migrant welcome center” at a closed school in San Diego. On February 22, the organization ran out of money and shut down operations. On February 23, more 550 illegal immigrants were shoved out the door … on to the streets of San Diego where, hopefully, voters will wake up and stop voting for Democrats.

Meanwhile, a nursing student at Augusta University College of Nursing was jogging on the University of Georgia campus when an illegal “migrant” snatched and murdered her. The perp, Jose Antonio Ibarra (26), crossed into El Paso, Texas, illegally back in 2022. Five months ago, he was arrested in Queens, NY, after injuring a minor. Thankfully, this time he has been denied bail.

CABRINI: [6:08] – This is an excellent review.

CATHOLIC: [28:47] – This is a particularly beautiful celebration of the Mass.

DEMOCRATS: Secretary of State Anthony Blinken recently issued a memo to his staff saying they need to replace words like “manpower,” “you guys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “mother/father,” “son/daughter” and “husband/wife” with with words like, “labor force,” “everyone,” “folks,” “you all,” “parent,” “child,” “spouse” or partner.”

Also, “When speaking, avoid using phrases like ‘brave men and women on the front lines,'” the memo continues, suggesting the “use more specific language such as ‘brave first responders,’ ‘brave soldiers,’ or ‘brave DS agents.‘”

Because, of course, these are the TOP concerns for the second-highest-ranking member of the president’s Cabinet.

PERJURY: Fani Willis claimed under oath that she only began her relationship with Nathan Wade AFTER she appointed him to prosecute the Trump case. On Friday, cell phone data was released, showing that Nathan Wade, the man whom Fani Willis openly committed adultery with, visited Hapeville where Fani Willis resided at least 35 times, including 10 times BEFORE his appointment to the Trump case.

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: “The year: 2024. The problem: New York City has more ‘undocumented migrants’ than it can feed and house. Solution: Give them each a pre-loaded debit card worth up to $10,000! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!?!”

VAXXX: It may take more than 10 years for someone injured by a COVID-19 vaccine to receive a decision on whether their claim is eligible for compensation by the government’s vaccine compensation program—if they receive a response at all.

But hey, no worries!! The FDA’s latest ‘rona jab update says, “COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older in the United States for the prevention of COVID-19. There is currently no FDA-approved or FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine for children younger than age 6 months. CDC recommends that people stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination.”

WHY SHOULD WE TRUST THESE PEOPLE? – Once upon a time, I got Social Security to admit they had been underpaying me for years. I was supposed to receive a check to correct the injustice. I waited and waited, then called the lawyer who had handled it for me. She said, “They’re just slow. It’ll come.” Twenty years later, it came. Out of the blue. All they had had to do was cut a check to satisfy a court decision that was already a done deal.

GRAMMY NOTES: I love this foot soak bucket. It is so easy to fill in the tub and soak my feet in while I sit on my shower stool. When I’m done, I can just push it over to dump the water out; no lifting or slopping water on the floor! The fabric and lining only took about 2 weeks to outgas and I have now used it twice without having any chemical sensitivity issues. There is also a tab sewn into the bottom seam that I use to hang it upside down to drip dry. It is all fabric, folds up small, and comes with a carry bag. I can imagine it would be very handy for many purposes … carrying water for cooking and washing up while camping, bringing wet towels and suits home from swimming, bringing wet produce or meats home, etc.

CATHOLIC: Friday abstinence year round was never eliminated; it was just adjusted to allow things other than meat to be sacrificed. I wish more people would realize this. It’s a beautiful devotion that reminds us every week, not just in Lent, that Jesus suffered in the flesh for our sake.

NEW YORK SUCKS: After making guns for 208 years in Ilion, New York, Remington is wisely relocating to Georgia on March 4. We’re not going anywhere, because Dearest’s business is based entirely on word of mouth and reputation. But I swear, if he were just starting out, this is the second to last place I’d want us to settle, California being first last.

S&G: Another trannie has been arrested for child-sex crimes. Regina Mai Allen (27) has been charged with 20 felony counts of distributing, possessing, or viewing child sexual abuse content.

2024: Reuters is reporting, “The Biden administration is expected to ease seasonal restrictions on ethanol-gasoline blends but has delayed the change until after the 2024 election to avoid a price spike.

FAUXTUS: The Faux Couple have had three German Shepherds at the White House – Champ, Major, and Commander. Major attacked so many Secret Service agents and WH staff members that the press finally reported on it. The Bidens sent him to Delaware, waited until the furor died down, then brought him back to the White House … where he continued to bite agents and staff.

It was then discovered that their other dog, Champ, was also chomping on staff and agents. As before, the First Couple dismissed the concerns. In one eight-day period, agents were bitten every day. Biden said the Secret Service agents lied and never you mind about the photos that were taken to document that attack.

Commander was brought in to replace Major. When Commander also started to bite people, executive residence staff and other White House workers, the Bidens again brushed it off. The attacks increased, but the press were not informed . . . again.

In June 2023, the Secret Service had to change security procedures to deal with the vicious dog, warning that agents “must be creative to ensure our own personal safety.” In July 2023, the NY Post reported that Commander had bitten seven people and threatened three others; one agent reported having to defend himself from the dog with a chair.

Any other family’s dog would’ve been put down after the first or maybe second attack. At this point, the Bidens would be barred from ever owning pets again. But, as per usual in our Demo-corruptocracy, this family gets to do as it pleases. I feel sorry for people who work there who have to choose between their well-paying jobs, seniority, benefits, etc. and their personal safety.

LIBS OF TIKTOK: Chalk up another (partial) win for LoTT! In January, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) dismissed a 90-year-old volunteer after six decades of selfless service, because she didn’t understand the left’s new obsession with pronouns. On February 14, LoTT reported the travesty. On February 21, the NMSS published an apology of sorts. They admitted they didn’t handle Fran’s pronoun confusion very well, but assured us all that it was all done in the spirit of “diversity” and “making everyone feel welcome.” I dunno how Fran feels about all this. I’m with this guy. CLICK https://twitter.com/LibertyCappy/status/1759617536599928842 [:37].

NEW YORK SUCKS LESS: A state appeals court has declared a New York City law permitting non-citizens to vote in local elections “violates the New York State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law, and thus, must be declared null and void.

S&G: Update on the sicko who was arrested in Wisconsin. His charges stem from pornographic photos he took of his adopted son and then distributed. I need a barf bag.

TEXAS: In 2023, Fronton Island became a hot spot of human trafficking and drug smuggling. On September 7, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham determined that the land was state property. Gov. Abbott sent the Texas Ranger Division and Texas Army National Guard on October 2, 2023, to drive the cartels out, clear cut the vegetation, and install concertina wire.

FACEBOOK ADS: Scams are bad enough. But I get really riled up when the scammers claim to be veterans running small businesses. This product is for sale at ridiculously cheap prices at Amazon. Both listings have one star ratings.

I did an image search and found the “my little workshop” photo at a site that claims to be selling “handmade in the USA” (top line) products that, if you scroll down a bit, are apparently are also “MADE IN GERMANY.” Funny thing how it shows a guy laminating slices of wood to allegedly illustrate a guy who allegedly makes horseshoe art and/or fancy knives.

It’s like the jerks doing this just grab images from the internet to cobble together their websites, sell garbage to stupid foreigners, then when they get outed, change the names, make a new website and start all over. I swear … if somebody advertises on Facebook any more, my FIRST reaction is, “Probably a Chinese rip off.

NEW YORK SUCKS: The totally corrupt New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron recently ordered Trump to pay nearly $355 million in penalties for imagined crimes and barred him from doing business in New York State for three years. State Attorney General Letitia James says if Trump can’t pay up, she’ll seize his assets.

Kevin O’Leary says, “New York was already a loser state, like California is a loser state…I would never invest in New York now and I’m not that only person saying that.” CLICK https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1759969359282463085 [4:38] and CLICK https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1759758733259731134 [2:14] to hear him explain how really BAD this is for New York.

QUEBEC: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Montreal has sued to overturn a Quebec law that would force St. Raphael’s Nursing Home to murder the sick and elderly or close its doors.

Harvest Ministries is also suing the Quebec provincial government after Quebec’s Minister of Tourism Caroline Proulx with the full blessing of Quebec’s Premier François Legault forced the CEO of Quebec’s convention center to cancel their contract for a religious, cultural, and artistic event.

SCIENCE: Michael Guillén, PhD writes, “TRUE. According to the latest research, only 43 percent of your body’s cells are human cells. The rest of you – 57 percent of your body’s cells – are microbial, including bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and fungi. Altogether, these micro-organisms are called your body’s “microbiome.” Only 1 percent of the microbes are harmful to you. The rest – 99 percent of them – are good guys. Without them, you would not be alive.” ………. In that case, I would like to respectfully request the fungus that has invaded my blood stream get back to being ONLY ONE PERCENT.

VAXXX: On February 12, 2024, the peer-reviewed results of a multinational study of over 99 million vaccinated people was published in Vaccine. In the paper, entitled “COVID-19 vaccines and adverse events of special interest: A multinational Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) cohort study of 99 million vaccinated individuals” researchers report finding much higher than expected cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), myocarditis, and pericarditis.

For some reason, this beautiful music video isn’t embedding. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raUttgkCc-g [4:10] to enjoy it.

ALABAMA: The state’s Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that an embryo created through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a child protected by Alabama’s wrongful death act and the Alabama Constitution.

The ruling involved LePage v. Mobile Infirmary Clinic, Inc., in which parents of frozen embryos that died when an intruder tampered with the IVF freezer are suing the clinic for wrongful deaths due to negligence.

Alabama has recognized unborn babies as human beings since 2018. This ruling simply clarifies that fertilized embryos held by IVF clinics qualify under this definition. Beyond the lawsuit, the impact of the ruling will be to prevent IVF clinics from routinely destroying unused embryos. In the graphic, this practice is euphemistically referred to as “cessation of storage”, which is kinda like calling abortion “ending a pregnancy.”

ANTI-CATHOLIC: A member of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” has been arrested in Wisconsin. The sheriff’s officials are recommending he be charged with four counts of possession of child pornography and four counts of sexual exploitation of a child. He is the county’s human resources director and his “husband” is a teacher at Menasha, Wisconsin, schools.

POPE FRANCIS: The Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will no longer be celebrated at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Austin, Texas, as of March 19. Between 500 and 600 devout Catholics have attended the services each week which were held at 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Reportedly, the order to switch these to the Novus Ordo Mass in Latin came directly from the Vatican. The closest TLM Mass will be in Dripping Springs, 25 miles from Austin. The traditional priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) also offers the Traditional Latin Mass on the second and fourth Sundays of each month in Austin at the Aiden Hotel.

SATAN’S DEPOPULATION CULT: The use of chlormequat chloride in agriculture is on the rise in North America. Prior to 2017, it was rare to find it in urine samples. But in 2017, it was found in 69% of the samples collected from people in the U.S. In 2018 through 2022, it was found in 74% of the samples. In 2023, the frequency jumped to 90%.

This chemical has been shown to delay puberty, reduce fertility, and harm developing fetuses at doses lower than those deemed “safe” by regulatory agencies. Researchers recently discovered chlormequat chloride in 90% of the samples of Cheerios collected in 2023.

Ben Bartee at PJ Media writes, “What we have here is asymmetrical warfare. The vast majority of the combatants on one side (the useless eaters, as they are described by the technocracy) has no idea it is in a war.

GRAMMY NOTES: I saw this sculpture in my FB feed. I did a Google Image Search, but was unable to find who made it. It speaks to me, especially about beating myself over the head with my past. I remember realizing, years ago when I was in therapy, that the first time someone hurt me, it was on them. But every time after, when I relived the wound and repeated the emotional pain, it was on me.

I recently watched a video by two guys who had planted identical young tomato plants with various types of raw, uncomposted kitchen scraps. At the end of the growing season, they compared the yields for each plant, then dug them up to see what had happened to each of the types of scraps and also how well developed the plants’ roots were. There were significant differences.

I didn’t pay much attention to which scraps did what, because I don’t garden. We dump all our kitchen scraps into our compost bin, then spread the goodness around the bases of our bushes and trees after it is well rotted. No, what interested me about the video was the idea of throwing raw waste into a hole and using it to nurture healthy, new growth. It reminded me of the burial scene near the end of the movie “The Shack.”

I’ve been doing a lot of memory work lately. After remembering, understanding an old hurt, and forgiving the person who caused the harm, I still struggle with the hurt. This sculpture adds to the powerful imagery from the tomato video and “The Shack.” Pounding myself over the head with bad memories, trying to change an impenetrable, rocky past, is the total opposite of throwing those hurts into a hole in good soil where God can use it to nurture new growth.

Hallelujah!

Another Sign of the End Times?

This year, we will celebrate Easter on March 31, 2024. This, of course, will be the end of our 40-day Lenten journey and the 3-day Triduum that commemorate Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.

The following Sunday, April 7, we will celebrate the Feast of the Divine Mercy when Catholics have the unique opportunity to receive tremendous graces from Our Lord.

On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will plunge the United States into darkness.

In the Old Testament Book of Jonah, we hear how the sinful foreign city of Nineveh was warned that if the people did not repent, God would destroy them.

Now Nineveh was an awesomely great city; it took three days to walk through it. Jonah began his journey through the city, and when he had gone only a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be overthrown,” the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.”

– Jonah 3:3-5

The forty days Jesus spent in the desert and the three days of His Passion, Death, and Resurrection are all foreshadowed in this story, as He foretold.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” He said to them in reply, “An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and there is something greater than Jonah here.

– Matthew 12:38-41

On June 15, 763 BC, ancient Nineveh experienced a solar eclipse. There are only 10 places in the world that are named “Nineveh.” Nine of them will be affected by the eclipse – i.e., all seven of the ones in the United States, plus the two in Canada. Below are times and degrees of totality at mid-eclipse for each location. Note: The times are all for the GMT-3 time zone. (GMT is also known as UTC.) I’ve ordered them from earliest to latest. (Read below for why the eclipse will move from west to east.)

  1. Nineveh, Texas (half-way between Dallas and Houston) – 99% at 13:42:07.
  2. Nineveh, Missouri (southwest of Springfield, IL*) – 96.6% @ 14:02:53.
  3. Nineveh, Indiana (south of Indianapolis) – 100% @ 15:05:43.
  4. Nineveh, Ohio (east of Indianapolis, IN) – 100% @ 15:08:39.
  5. Nineveh, Pennsylvania (northeast of Pittsburgh) – 98.9% @ 15:18:24.
  6. Nineveh, Virginia (west of Arlington) – 90.7% @ 15:19:00.
  7. Nineveh, New York (a little northeast of Binghamton) – 97.1% @ 15:24:08.
  8. Nineveh (Lunenberg), Nova Scotia (south end of the island) – 94.9% @ 16:36:52.
  9. Nineveh (Victoria), Nova Scotia (north end of the island) – 97.1% @ 16:40:15.

My sources where you can get even more information:

  • Places in the world named “Nineveh” @ https://geotargit.com/called.php?qcity=Nineveh. The only one that is not in North America is in the Solomon Islands, near Australia. N.b., this site does not list the two in Canada. The next one does.

CALIFORNICATION: The San Francisco Elections Commission has appointed a non-citizen to serve as an official. Kelly Wong, a native of Hong Kong, arrived in the United States in 2019 for graduate studies. She says, “I am deeply committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of immigration status, has a seat at the table in shaping the future of our city.

ENGLAND: The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London was bare nekkid for over 150 years. In 1998, somebody got the bright idea to use it to temporarily display different pieces of contemporary art. After their beloved Queen Elizabeth II died, Londoners expected the next piece, due to go up in August, would honor her. Instead, London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan (Labour Party) has reportedly approved a piece featuring the faces of 850 trans people, most of whom are sex workers.

ALASKA AIRLINES: A Seattle zookeeper was transporting six flamingo eggs when the portable incubator konked out. A flight attendant filled rubber gloves with hot water. While passengers donated scarves and coats to create a makeshift nest for the eggs, the flight attendant made multiple trips to refill rubber gloves with hot water. Several weeks later, six healthy chicks hatched. One of them has been named after the flight attendant’s granddaughter (photo).

FRIDAYS WITH FRANK: You really want to watch this to the end LOL. [8:26] – Favorite comment: “When Frank is speechless to the point of going CLICK CLICK CLICK with his pen, you know the level of stupidity has risen drastically.”

HE SAVES US: [1:00] – This is a response to the infamous “He Gets Us” ad that aired during the Super Bowl.

HELL IS REAL: [6:36] – St. Faustina describes what she saw in Hell.

NEW WORLD ROYALTY: One of the people Dr. Campbell interviews (see White Clots below) says he thinks some of the people who are complicit in the culling of the human race believe they “have a seat on the ark.” I’m thinking Huma and Alex have first class tickets. Such a shame that this ark will end up in Hell, not Paradise.

ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL: A Mass of Reparation has been offered for the scandalous funeral service held at the famous NYC landmark earlier this week. Details at the links, if you have the stomach for it.

WHITE CLOTS: Dr. John Campbell reports on what he believes is a completely new and highly lethal disease. It appeared suddenly after the COVID-19 mRNA “medical intervention” came on the market. I first reported on these things two years ago. I just now googled “white clots embalming” and found to my utter surprise (not) that the majority of articles say, “No connection to the COVID vaccine!” I remember when this first came out that the independent embalmer who was speaking up had spoken with many colleagues. Everyone was finding this stuff, but most were afraid to talk about it for fear of losing their jobs. I really hope you find the time (it’s a lot) to watch ALL of these all the way through … though I suggest you diffuse lavender essential oil and drink chamomile tea while you do, because it will get your blood pressure up!

GRAMMY NOTES: #10 was a preemie C-section, cuz the cord was wrapped around his neck. He was doing really well and was supposed to go home from NICU this weekend. But then his oxygen saturation alarm went off, so they’re going to hold him until maybe Thursday. Since they live about 90 minutes in good weather from the hospital, they decided it would be best for her to focus on the baby. Mama is staying at Ronald McDonald House; Dada is holding down the home fort with the other three boys. Prayers for them all please. And thank you!

2024: Just one day after Biden criticized Trump for supposedly “bowing down for a Russian dictator”, Putin gave Biden a ringing endorsement for the upcoming presidential election.

2030: Every decade, the U.S. census results in a reapportionment of seats in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College. The migration of Americans from failing Blue to thriving Red states will likely benefit Republicans.

BRANDING: I just saw this … https://www.facebook.com/reel/755347136541198 … and didn’t know if I should laugh or not. Then, I googled and found out the story itself is satire, which means I can post it here, cuz that last line is totally LOL worthy.

DIVERSITY: “You guys ripped a 90-year-old woman’s life work and passion away from her over a misunderstanding on a meaningless virtue signaling reference to gender pseudoscience. Shame on you evil cowards.” – Libs of TikTok [9:29]

Fran Itkoff (90) has been volunteering for the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society for sixty years. Over that time, she has received multiple awards for her hard work and dedication.

She recently received a letter from the volunteer manager that said her service to the organization was no longer welcome, because she had failed to “abide by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion guidelines.” She says she merely asked someone what it meant to use someone’s pronouns. It’s interesting how much more lucid this 90-year-old woman is than our 82-year-old president.

FANI WILLIS: CLICK https://rumble.com/v4dmsv9-fani-willis-just-buried-herself-on-the-stand-seemingly-admits-a-felony.html [2:11] to hear Willis testify at her misconduct hearing that she can’t or won’t identify where the cash she gave her lover for their secret sex trips came from.

It matters to his wife’s divorce case that he was married to her at the time. It matters to the IRS that he was charging their love nest vacays to his business credit card. And it matters to the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission whether or not the cash Willis used to reimburse him came from campaign contributions.

However, none of the above matters to the misconduct charge. The simple fact, that the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, entered into a sexual relationship with an employee, is undisputed and, IMO, enough to require her to resign. This is especially true given that, during her campaign, she specifically swore that she does not, will not, and would not date anyone who works under her.

FAUXTUS: In September 2021, the Biden administration directed the Labor Department to fine businesses with 100 or more employees if they failed to forced all of their employees to submit to the ‘rona jab. During the ensuing battle with the courts, the DOJ admitted that breakthrough infections in vaccinated people were common. But they maintained the mandate was still necessary to avoid having work disrupted by sick workers. COVID-19 is a seasonal, respiratory disease that has a fatality rate similar to the flu – i.e., between 0.1 and 0.2%.

This week, in a stunning display of hypocrisy, that same Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Tennessee’s aggravated prostitution statute that makes it a crime for people infected with HIV to knowing transmit the incurable virus. The DOJ wants the statute abolished, because it is “based on outdated science and misguided assumptions. This lawsuit reflects the Justice Department’s commitment to ensuring that people living with HIV are not targeted because of their disability.” HIV is an incurable, sexually transmitted disease that, with aggressive treatment, has a fatality rate of about 4.7%.

GETTING REAL: [2:51] – Some eco activists hold sit-ins on busy roadways, while others throw soup on priceless paintings. Then there are the people of Lancashire, England, who go to the beach every year to bury old Christmas trees. Since beginning the effort, the trees have rebuilt about 300 feet of the sand dunes that had washed away.

RUSSIA: In 2020, Alexei Navalny, the long-time political rival to Vladimir Putin, barely survived an assassination attempt that had him in a coma for 18 days. In 2021,a Russian kangaroo court sentenced him to 19 years; he was taken to a penal colony in the Arctic where, earlier today, the BBC announced he had died suddenly. The BBC reported, “Navalny, 47, was last seen only one day before his death, looking well and laughing during a court hearing via video link.”

TRANS: I just saw this quotation by Dr. Robert George, “Changing sexes is a metaphysical impossibility, because it is a biological impossibility.” I beg to differ. Confusing the natural with the supernatural is a common error made by atheists. The fact is that biological impossibilities can and do occur. But they’re called “miracles of God“, not “health care.” And I’m pretty sure that changing sexes isn’t one of the miracles He ever does.
