IOWA: Michael Cassidy is a devout Christian and former military officer who felt compelled to remove the blasphemous Satan idol that the Satanic Temple erected in the Iowa Capitol. He turned himself in to police officers immediately afterwards. He has been charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief.

The world may tell Christians to submissively accept the legitimization of Satan, but none of the founders would have considered government sanction of Satanic altars inside Capitol buildings as protected by the First Amendment. Anti-Christian values have steadily been mainstreamed more and more in recent decades, and Christians have largely acted like the proverbial frog in the boiling pot of water. I saw this blasphemous statue and was outraged. My conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted.”

However, it has became clear that his defense could be much more expensive, so giving was reopened. Cassidy has promised, “All donations in excess of what is directly related to my defense shall be donated to a Christian legal fund.”

BIDENOMICS: Dunno about you, but we’re definitely feeling the pinch.

CALIFORNICATION: As the wealthy flee high taxes and rampant crime, Democrats dreaming of a socialist utopia have been smacked upside the head by Maggie Thatcher’s 2×4. In short, the state has run out of other people’s money. Tuesday’s “Expenditure Freeze” Budget Letter orders all state agencies to immediately halt all nonessential expenditures. One might have thought that spending taxpayers’ hard earned dollars on nonessentials would be SOP; but then one would not be a Democrat.

DEMOCRATS: All voters need to learn this true fact … whenever Democrats put a warm, fuzzy name on a piece of legislation, you can be sure it will actually accomplish the exact opposite.

OKLAHOMA: Devout Christian and Republican Dusty Deevers has won a seat in the state senate. Despite having been outspent and suffered from a national smear campaign, he beat his Black Democrat opponent by 10 points. Deevers is outspoken about his desire to end abortion, pornography, and no-fault divorce.

OMG: About a month ago, IBM published a statement explaining that the company was canceling its ads on X due to Elon Musk’s alleged tolerance for antisemitic hate speech. The statement righteously announced, “IBM has zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination.”

CHRISTIANS: Speaker Mike Johnson is a devout Christian who describes his legal career prior to entering politics as having been devoted to “defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and biblical values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals like these when they’ve been under assault.” You can read the details at the Wikipedia link below.

The wild-eyed response of lefties to his election is yet more evidence that our national divide is not just political, but also religious and spiritual. In the latest episode of donkey diarrhea, James Carville, the famous Democrat political strategist who helped engineer Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential victory, told Bill Maher, “Mike Johnson and what he believes is one of the greatest threats we have today to the United States.

Our Lady of Guadalupe

Yesterday was the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the date that the Blessed Mother gifted the miraculous tilma to the Mexican people. In 1531, Mary appeared to Juan Diego, a Mexican convert in Tepeyac. At the last of the four apparitions, Our Lady left behind the miraculous image of herself that, despite being on a type of fragile fabric that usually lasts only about 20 years, exists to this day. The symbolism in the image was a visual catechism for the native peoples who were so moved by it that, within seven years, nine million had become Catholics. This averages out to more than 3,500 people per day, more than the number who were converted on Pentecost (Acts 2:41).

CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEhjwCsDDsc [21:20] to see a documentary about the apparitions and the miraculous image.

Note that the narrator says the tilma appeared on the winter solstice, the shortest and darkest day of the year. In 1531, that date was December 12, hence the date of the feast day. Now, the winter solstice generally falls on December 21 or 22; this year it will be on December 22. The reason for the discrepancy is that the Julian calendar, which had been in use for centuries, only had a leap day every four years to account for the solar year being 365.25 days long. But the solar year is actually a bit longer, resulting in a slippage of approximately one day per century. In 1582, Pope Gregory instituted the Gregorian calendar we use to this day, correcting the slippage by designating the day after October 4, 1582 to be October 15, 1582.

The symbolism in the image tells us only that Mary was a pregnant virgin. The claim by the narrator that some gynecologist pegged the due date of the image at December 25th is just silly. I’ll give him a pass, since he’s a priest, so what does he know about pregnancy? LOL The fact is that due dates are a crap shoot. The first guesstimate starts with the date of the last menstrual period (LMP). This date can be off by weeks, since some women have longer than 28 day cycles and some occasionally have a faux period after they have conceived. As the pregnancy continues, the OB will measure the fundal height (the distance from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus). This is done mainly to track the progress of the pregnancy, but it also gives a second and general estimate for the due date. However, like the LMP, it is not precise, since obesity, fibroid tumors, unusually small, large or multiple fetuses, and too little or too much amniotic fluid can all affect the measurement. Finally, modern pregnancies can be monitored with ultrasound imaging where precise measurements of the baby’s size are possible. But really, nothing … including a scheduled C-section … can precisely predict on what day a baby will be born.

In addition, according to the star charts shown in the movie “The Star of Bethlehem”, Jesus was born in mid-June.

CATHOLIC: Bishop Athanasius Schneider has launched a worldwide prayer campaign to “implore divine intervention for the crisis of the Church.” This spiritual crusade will begin on the first Saturday of January 2024 (January 6) and conclude on the first Saturday of December 2024 (December 7). 

DEMOCRATS: Karen Smith, the president of the Central Bucks Board of School Directors, eschewed the Bible for her oath of office, instead resting her hands on a stack of books that included Flamer, a sexually explicit graphic novel that includes characters discussing pornography, erections, masturbation, penis size, and an illustration that depicts naked teenage boys. Smith said she has not actually read Flamer, but defended students having access to it.

END TIMES: Ian Vandaelle, a journalist who aggressively pushed forcing the ‘rona jab on unwilling citizens, has died suddenly at age 33. He had no known health problems. Despite having demonized the unvaxxxed and campaigned to have us deprived of employment and basic civil liberties, he is being eulogized by his friends as having been kind, witty, smart, a mentor, and a good friend.

We are in this strange time,” writes Makis, “when millions of people acted as monsters during the pandemic. Thousands of these monsters walk among us, joke around, have fun, think of themselves as the good guys, some of them having murdered many people – and they’re oblivious to it all.”

I’m thinking the forces of evil are not oblivious at all. We know from former Satanists that their spells get a huge boost in power when they are accompanied by the suffering and death of unborn children via abortion. Is it any wonder demons are more powerful now when everything about the pandemic – from the virus itself to the mandates, lockdowns, vaccines, and cancellations – caused and continue to cause immense suffering and death?

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://rumble.com/v40w19h-biden-its-been-65-years-since-the-hamas-attack.html [:28] to hear President Dementia say twice in less than 30 seconds that it’s been 65 years since the Hamas attack.

Declaring “I am a Zionist,” he also said, “We’re working relentlessly for the safe return of the hostages. I personally spent countless hours — I mean probably up to 20 hours — with the Qataris, the Egyptians, the Israelis to secure the freedom of hostages, to get the trucks in and get humanitarian aid flowing, to convince them to open the gate.”

His remarks occurred at a White House Hanukkah celebration to which families of Americans being held hostage by Hamas were pointedly not invited.

HARVARD: Claudine Gay, the Ivy League president who heartily approves of all speech with which she already agrees, appears to have plagiarized numerous parts of her doctoral dissertation.

POPE FRANCIS: The pontiff has embarked on yet another persecution of conservative Catholics. This time, he has demanded that a retired bishop vacate his diocese before his Francis-appointed replacement arrives. This move disgusts me. It is common for retired bishops to live out their retirements in the bishop’s residence, filling in as health permits with things like Confirmations around the diocese. I’m pretty sure the bishop who confirmed me was a retiree.

No official reason was given for the outrageous demand. But we don’t have to look far to find one. Bishop Emeritus José Luis Azcona of Marajó, Brazil, was one of the few conservative voices at the controversial Amazon Synod in 2019, which was marked by demands of ordination of married men and women and the establishment of an Amazonian rite that incorporated indigenous elements into Catholicism. The bishop criticized the absence of central elements of the Gospel in the synod’s documents and warned about the scandal and idolatry caused by the use of images of Pachamama.

By contrast, the guy Pope Francis has appointed to replace Azcona is known for his open support of the synod and of liberal theology.

VAXXX: Thanks to a court order, the FDA has finally released the last of the documents it relied on to approve Pfizer’s COVID-19 mRNA serums. These documents show that:

  1. The FDA knew before approvals that the safety monitoring system was “not sufficient” for assessing the risk of heart conditions.
  2. The FDA was aware of numerous manufacturing problems in Pfizer batches released to the public.
  3. The FDA knew about a phenomenon known as Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Disease (VAED) in those vaccinated who experience breakthrough COVID-19.

Dr. Kim (YouTube’s “Holistic Foot Doctor”) recommends Epsom salt foot soaks with the following conditions – Use about 1/2 cup Epsom salts in foot basin with feet with enough water to come up to ankles. Water temperature should be lukewarm, not hot. Soak for about 15-20 minutes only and only use Epsom Salts 1 to 2 days per week unless you have an injury or infection.

He says Harvard canceled two professors – Tyler VanderWeele and Carole Hooven – for holding views deemed too controversial for the Harvard community. Gay’s response touts Harvard’s deep commitment to freedom of speech which, according to her, extends to faculty. Translation: “We’re totally open to all opinions with which we, the Leftist Progressive Elites, already agree.”

MASKING KIDS: A study entitledChild mask mandates for COVID-19: a systematic review” has been published in Archives of Disease in Childhood, one of the journals of the British Medical Journal.

Since no randomized controlled trials have even been conducted on child mask-wearing or mask mandates, the authors systematically reviewed observational studies and included 22 in their final analysis. They also assessed the quality of each study with particular attention to risk of bias (ROB). N.b., none of the studies had low overall ROB (farthest right column above).

Six of the studies found that child mask wearing reduced infection or transmission. Of these, five had critical and one had serious overall ROB. Sixteen studies showed mask wearing had no impact on infection or transmission. Of these, one had critical, 10 had serious, and five had moderate overall ROB. The table above demonstrates the disparity in the quality of the studies. Basically, there’s just a lot more green (low ROB for individual study characteristics) in the “Masking kids doesn’t work” section.

GET WOKE. GO BROKE: On Dec. 5, 2023, several Ivy League college presidents participated in a House Education and Workforce Committee hearing regarding anti-Semitism on college and university campuses amid the war between the Jewish state of Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y. – photo) asked if students calling for the genocide of Jews would be considered harassment or bullying under the schools’ codes of conduct.

The presidents of the University of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Institute of Technology both said calls for genocide would only be investigated as possible harassment if they were “directed, and severe, pervasive.” The president of Harvard said they would have to cross into “conduct” before they would be actionable.

During the past week, wealthy donors to these universities have announced they are withdrawing support. The losses are adding up to tens of millions of dollars. On Saturday, Liz Magill resigned as president of U Penn.

SICKLE CELL: The FDA has approved the first ever gene therapy treatment.

While not a cure for the disease, it is hoped the one-time treatment will alleviate symptoms for a lifetime. But don’t cheer too fast. Currently, the treatment costs several million dollars per patient.

TEXAS: The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily halted a district court’s order that granted a pregnant woman the right to an abortion despite the state’s strict abortion ban. The court did not rule on the merits of the case, but said it would consider the matter further and issue a more comprehensive ruling at a later time. The 20 week fetus has been diagnosed with Trisomy 18, a condition that causes multiple structural abnormalities. Doctors say it has no chance of survival after birth, which is not strictly true.

Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, is the second most common trisomy behind trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). It occurs in 1 in 5,000 live births and it is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome. Half of all babies born with Edwards syndrome die within the first week, and only 5% to 10% live beyond the first year of life. Those that survive require special care.

Former Senator Rick and Karen Santorum’s daughter, Bella, was born with Trisomy 18. The photo above was posted recently on Karen’s Facebook page. I believe Bella is now 15 years old.

VAXXX: A study entitled “Blaming the unvaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic: the roles of political ideology and risk perceptions in the USA” was published in BMJ’s Journal of Medical Ethics in June 2023. In it, researchers examined the risks and benefits associated with the COVID-19 vaccines and compared them with public perceptions.

They found that excessive fearmongering by both government and media led to both risks and benefits being grossly misunderstood by the majority of Americans. They designated the widespread blaming of the unvaccinated “scapegoating” rather than “a justified response to a social threat” because it was “driven by fear or based on unfounded or inaccurate facts.”

For example, 35% of US adults believed that at least half of COVID-19 infections require hospitalization; at its peak, it was reckoned to be less than 5%, but was probably lower since a lot of people had such mild cases that they didn’t show up in the statistics. The risk is now much lower, since the most deadly Wuhan strain is extinct and the current variants are much milder.

Researchers also found a huge political divide with regard to accurate risk vs. benefit knowledge and willingness to blame the unvaccinated for extending the pandemic and “killing” people. Those who voted for Biden were twice as likely to scapegoat those who chose to refuse the ‘rona jab as those who voted for Trump. This was true regardless of whether the refuser had recovered from COVID or had never had it at all.

This study did not look into the consequences of scapegoating on the unvaccinated, but noted that “scapegoating can subject people to ostracism, discrimination and, in extreme cases, even violence and persecution.”

CANON: The process of determining which writings were and which were not part of Holy Scripture for the Christian church culminated in 382 at the Council of Rome when the leaders of the Catholic-Christian Church promulgated the 73 books as canonical. This list was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397).

From the end of the fourth century until the middle of the sixteenth century, the 73 books that are now called the “Catholic” Bible were THE Bible. Then, along came Martin Luther, who chucked out seven of them, because he believed that he alone knew better than all the church leaders who had come before him.

Ever since then, Protestants have claimed the “real” Bible only has the 66 books that Luther decided on, while Catholics continue to use the 73 book canon. Personally, I find these two numbers very intriguing, since six is the symbol for humanity, while seven and three are symbols for spiritual perfection.

CINO: Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked recently why he doesn’t practice his Catholic faith. He replied, “My own personal ethics on life are I think enough to keep me going on the right path. I identify myself as a Catholic. I was raised, I was baptized, I was confirmed, I was married in the Church. My children were baptized in the Church. But as far as practicing it, it seems almost like a pro forma thing that I don’t really need to do.”

At Confirmation, the confirmand solemnly promises to obey the laws and precepts of the Roman Catholic Church. At Baptism, the parents and godparents promise to raise the child to obey the laws and precepts of the Roman Catholic Church. These include resting from servile labor and attending Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation, going to Confession and receiving Holy Eucharist at least once a year, observing the days of fasting and abstinence, and providing for the material needs of the Church according to one’s ability.

These are not pro forma obligations; they are the bare minimum the RCC considers necessary to maintain and nurture one’s relationship with God. To ignore them is not just an egregious violation of one’s vows, but also absurd. It would be like a man telling his wife and children that it would be a meaningless waste of his time to hang out with them.

HUNTER BIDEN: A California grand jury has returned a nine-count indictment against Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, charging him with three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor tax offenses.

This reminds me of the line in “A League of Their Own” when Geena Davis’ character tells her bitter sister, “I got you on the BUS. You got yourself on the team.”

S&G: During a field trip to D.C., 1,500 miles from home, a pro-“trans” Colorado school assigned an 11-year-old girl to sleep in the same bed as a boy who said he was a girl. The school did not notify the girl or her parents prior to the trip. The parents say their daughter was “terrified and really upset” and called her mother on the phone when she realized her situation. It took the girl and her parents multiple requests to get her moved to another room. 

But even then, chaperones told the girl to lie about the reason for her move. All they cared about was respecting the feelings of the trannie boy. FOX News reported that the school district has “a methodical system in place to keep parents in the dark on their child’s gender transition in schools.” Prior to the trip, parents were told over and over that chaperones would keep the girls on one floor and the boys on another, with no visiting.

No mention was made of the trannie boy’s existence. And at no time did the school care about either the safety, well-being, and religious convictions of the girl or the rights of her parents to make such an important decision as to when she can sleep in the same bed with a biologically intact male. The parents are suing.

GRAMMY NOTES: “[W]orking to ensure her home is a place of peace and refuge” … as a disabled mom who needed a lot of help with the mundane physical tasks, I considered this my #1 contribution. It is also a big part of why I hated the term “housewife” and still much prefer “homemaker.” I was married to my husband, not to my house. Plus, I was a homemaker before we owned a house and could do my job of ensuring peace wherever we lived and wherever we were, not just when we were at home.
