MEDIA MATTERS: On November 16, this leftie “disinformation fighter” instigated an ad boycott of X that included IBM, Comcast/NBCUniversal, Lions Gate Entertainment, Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Disney. The basis for it was MM’s claim that X was posting their ads next to content promoting Naziism.

But as is the case with anything coming out of Media Matters, their allegations were entirely fictitious. In response, Musk has filed a lawsuit asking Texas to order Media Matters to “immediately delete, take down, or otherwise remove” the article, and requests unspecified monetary damages. The lawsuit alleges that Media Matters “knowingly and maliciously” manufactured images to falsely show ads appearing where they did not with the intention of misleading advertisers, and in turn, hurting X by reducing their ad revenue. In response, Texas AG Ken Paxton announced he is opening an investigation into potential fraud by Media Matters.

As we so often see with those on the left, Media Matters has not only used lies to target right wingers, but also committed or ignored the alleged crimes themselves. Senior Townhall columnist Kurt Schlichter called Media Matter nothing more than “a cheesy grift where they fake outrage to silence political opponents because they know their own garbage ideology won’t play with Americans.

POPE FRANCIS: Our vindictive pontiff has struck again, this time foisting a “coadjutor bishop” named François Touvet (58) on the popular and orthodox Bishop Dominique Rey (71). Since Rey took the helm in 2000, the Diocese of Toulon-Fréjus has become known for its large number of vocations and welcoming attitude toward both traditional and charismatic communities. Bishop Rey is also known for his strong support of the Traditional Latin Mass.

Jorge can’t have that. Last year, he ordered Bishop Rey to suspend all ordinations to both the priesthood and the deaconate, without explanation. Unsurprisingly, Bishop Touvet will have not only complete control over various aspects of diocesan governance, but also will oversee management of clergy in the diocese, training of seminarians and priests, and support of religious communities. When Rey turns 75 and is forced to retire, Touvet will succeed him.

TRANS: Pope Francis has made reaching out to the LGBTQ+ community a hallmark of his papacy. Part of showing off his pride colors has been his on-going friendship with a community of trannies, many of whom work as prostitutes. They make monthly visits to Francis’ Wednesday general audiences, where they are given VIP seats. When COVID-19 struck, the Vatican bussed them into its health facility so they could be vaccinated ahead of most Italians. And this week, he hosted them to a posh luncheon at Vatican.

Yes, Jesus ate with public sinners, including prostitutes, whom He did not condemn. But he always condemned their sins and called them to repentance and holiness. Pope Francis seems to just be telling the LGBTQ+ community, “You’re perfect the way you are.” Meanwhile, he spits on those who actually live out the RCC’s call to worship, preach, and teach in spirit and in truth.

St. Gianna Beretta was born on on October 4, 1922 in Italy, the tenth of thirteen children in her family. In 1942, Gianna began her study of medicine in Milan. As a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, she was a diligent and hardworking student, both at the university and in her faith. She received degrees in both medicine and surgery, specializing in pediatrics.

In 1961, during her fourth pregnancy, doctors discovered he had a tumor in her uterus. They gave her three choices: abort the baby and remove the fibroma, which would permit another pregnancy; do a complete hysterectomy (killing the child); or treat the fibroma and hope the baby survives. The last was the riskiest for Gianna, but she was clear to her family. “If you must decide between me and the child, do not hesitate: choose the child? I insist on it. Save the baby.”

On April 21, 1962, baby Gianna Emanuela was successfully delivered by Caesarean section. A week later, Mama Gianna passed away from septic peritonitis. In 2004, St. Gianna was officially canonized. Her husband and their four children attended her canonization ceremony, making this the first time a husband witnessed his wife’s canonization.

Canonization requires that investigators with the Roman Catholic Church ascertain that miracles occurred following prayer to the potential saint. We know God does the miracles. But when it pleases Him, He does them in response to prayer to His children who are with Him in Heaven.

In St. Gianna’s case, the first miracle occurred in 1977 when a Brazilian woman developed a potentially fatal condition that could not be treated at her local hospital. Doctors believed she would not survive the trip to a larger facility, which so distressed the nursing sisters, that they appealed for the intercession of Gianna Molla. The doctors were amazed when the woman’s condition disappeared.

The second miracle occurred in 2003 when a woman prayed for Gianna’s intercession after experiencing a tear in her placenta. At just 16-weeks or pregnancy, her womb drained of all amniotic fluid, leaving the fetus with little to no chance of survival. Due to Gianna’s intercession, the baby was born healthy.

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsihfPjelJ8 [13:57] to hear canon lawyer Fr. Gerald Murray discuss the removal of Bishop Strickland. “This lacks elementary elements of justice.”

The Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church is the system of laws that regulate the external organization and government of the church. Chapter II, Article 3 deals with removal of a person from a clerical office. Within this section, Canon 193, Paragraph 1 says, “A person cannot be removed from an office … except for grave causes and according to the manner of proceeding defined by law.”

Apparently, in Pope Francis’ estimation, disagreeing with him on any issue is such a “grave cause” that he doesn’t even have to bother meeting with the individual, much less follow any of the procedures justly defined by the Code of Canon Law to protect clerics from capricious and vindictive actions.

WISCONSIN: Four years ago, Mitch Lundgaard, a firefighter in Appleton, saved the life of a black man who was overdosing. When the guy woke up, he pulled a gun and shot the firefighter dead. The killer had recently been released on $500 bail because prosecutors were apparently too lazy to look up his rap sheet, which was extensive.

The story got very little media attention, no doubt because a vicious black man killing a white first responder didn’t fit the Left’s narrative. Thankfully, he was later killed in a firefight with police, sparing taxpayers a whole lot of money.

The firefighter is survived by his widow and three young sons (photo). Although the story was ignored when it happened, it recently went viral, in large part due to efforts of friends to get the family’s GoFundMe to reach its goal. The FD promises that 100% of the donations received will go to support Mitch’s wife and 3 children. You can click the GoFundMe link below or donate by mail to:

1984: For more than 20 years, people have freely shared a “Letter to America” on the internet. The letter, which has been attributed to Osama bin Laden (who may not have written it) justified the 9/11 attacks as retribution for, among other things, the West’s alliance with Israel’s “occupation” of Palestine.

The letter said that attacking American civilians is justified because America claims to be governed democratically and thus every man, woman, and child is responsible for the government’s decisions. But now the cool kids “stand with Palestine” so a “Letter to America” has had to be disappeared.

The Guardian, which published the letter on November 24, 2002, removed it on November 15, 2023. A copy that was posted on Scribd has also disappeared. And TikTok has removed the hashtag #lettertoamerica from its search function.

Edward Teach writes at Not The Bee, “I hate to tell you, but this was always the end-goal of neo-commie land acknowledgments, tearing down statues, The 1619 Project, and CRT classes. Wokies have been brainwashed into thinking that America is the Great Satan.”

On Gaudete Sunday (Third Sunday of Advent) and Laetare Sunday (Fourth Sunday of Lent), Rose may be substituted for Violet/Purple. These are the same Sundays when we light rose (not pink!) candles on our Advent wreaths.
• Red symbolizes the Holy Spirit, the Passion of Our Lord, and for martyrdom. It is used on Palm Sunday and Good Friday, Pentecost Sunday, celebrations of the Lord’s passion, “birthday” feasts of the apostles and evangelists, and celebrations of martyrs;
• Gold and Silver: May be substituted for white on most solemn feasts and carries the same symbolism of white.
• White symbolizes joy, exuberance, celebration, resurrection, victory, purity, and innocence. It is used in the offices and masses during the seasons of Easter and Christmas, as well as for celebrations of the Lord, other than of His passion, for celebrations of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the angels, saints who were not martyrs, for the Solemnity of All Saints (November 1), the feasts of the Birth of John the Baptist (June 24), of John, apostle, evangelist (December 27), of the Chair of Peter (February 22), and of the Conversion of Paul (January 25). White may also be used for Masses for the dead.
• Green symbolizes hope, everlasting life, and fidelity. It is used in the offices and Masses of Ordinary Time.

FAUCI: A FOIA’d email has been released by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). It was sent on June 17, 2021 by Fauci deputy, Dr. David Morens, the senior adviser to the director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Dr. Morens has worked for the agency for more than two decades.

Entitled “CONFIDENTIAL WITHOUT OUR SMALL GROUP, PLEASE,” Dr. Morens’ missive went to a group of colleagues in the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene (AJTMH). These people included Dr. Peter Daszak, whose EcoHealth Alliance group helped funnel money from the NIH to the Wuhan laboratory to do gain-of-function research that may have contributed to the development of the COVID-19 virus.

In the email, Dr. Morens referred to a request to the NIH by a group of senators for documents on how the NIH handled the COVID-19 pandemic. Morens wrote, “I have retained very few emails or documents on these matters, and continue to request that correspondence on sensitive issues be sent to me at my gmail [sic] address.“

Senator Johnson noted that Dr. Morens appears to have intentionally deleted or destroyed the very records being requested. Furthermore, his stated preference to receive correspondence on “sensitive issues” through Gmail shows a willful attempt to evade federal record keeping requirements. Johnson also noted that the NIH has repeatedly failed to hand over the requested records that were requested more than two years ago.

LIFE: On Wednesday, the U.S. bishops affirmed without floor debate that abortion is their “preeminent priority” ahead of the 2024 elections “because it directly attacks our most vulnerable and voiceless brothers and sisters and destroys more than a million lives per year in our country alone.” The amendment passed an overwhelming 225 votes in favor, 11 opposing, and seven abstaining. Methinks 18 bishops have some explaining to do.

COMICS: Like Budweiser, the makers of superhero comics don’t seem to have a clue who their target audience is. In October 2021, DC started a series about a gay Superman who was super into climate change; sales were terrible, so a year later, the series was canceled.

Last month, Disney’s Marvel launched a super gay and ponographic series, “Alan Scott: The Green Lantern (2023-)” which has 2 books so far. Its writer, Tim Sheridan, even begged readers to flip the bird at “the haters and the queerphobes” by making “this book an undeniable success. The only way to prove to the big publishers that there’s a huge market for authentic stories about LGBTQIA+ characters and these stories are for everyone is to buy the heck out of books like this.”

Funny how he didn’t say, “It’s great and you will totes want to read it!” Nope. It’s all “buy it because it’s all gay and celebrating sodomy.” But you know what they say. Get woke and go broke. The book’s sales were so bad that it failed to even make it on to the ComicHub chart. One reviewer at Amazon wrote, “If you ever wonder why so many new Hollywood sequels fail so bad, look no further than this poorly written graphic novel. My six year old son could write a more interesting book. Just really bad.”

Both nuns and sisters are women religious, but there is a difference. While both take vows of chastity, poverty and obedience and spend their lives in prayer and work, nuns typically live in cloistered convents, while sisters typically live and work in more public venues, often in education or health care. Sisters usually live in community (i.e., a convent with other sisters of their order) and may or may not wear a habit.

FINLAND: The Helsinki Court of Appeal has voted unanimously to dismiss charges against two Christians who had been charged with “hate speech” for expressing their religious beliefs. Alliance Defending Freedom International (ADF International) said, “The cross-examination bore all the resemblance of a ‘heresy’ trial of the Middle Ages; it was implied that Räsänen had ‘blasphemed’ against the dominant orthodoxies of the day.”

PEDOPHILE: Slade Sohmer (44) has been charged in Massachusetts with possessing and disseminating hundreds of child pornography images and videos. Since 2010, Sohmer has worked as a co-director at Camp Power, a nonprofit which “provides kids from New York City’s most underfunded and underserved neighborhoods with freedom and encouragement that are often lacking in their communities back in the city.”

Court documents allege that his phone contained disturbing video clips showing boys believed to be as young as three years of age being raped and forced to perform sex acts by adults. More charges are likely coming, since Sohmer appears to have crossed over from enjoying and sharing kiddie porn to creating it.

TRANS: CLICK https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1724197370316128380?s=20 [:35] to hear an angry trannie go on, at length, about how much she hates everybody who doesn’t approve of his/her lifestyle. I wondered about the “many, many” trannies s/he states have allegedly been murdered by so-called transphobes, so I googled and found that the Slime Stream Media reported that, in 2021, 375 transgender people were murdered in what was allegedly the deadliest year since records began. The Forbes article was authored by Jamie Wareham, Founder of “QueerAF,” which I’m sure makes him a totally objective observer.

At first glance, the figure appears to be about murders in the U.S.; nope, they’re GLOBAL. Other enlightening stats are that 58% of those murdered were sex workers, while 96% of those murdered were mtf (male to female) people. It sounds to me like most of these victims were male sex workers who enticed johns who became lethally angry about not getting a real woman. Also, one in four trans victims were murdered in their own homes, which sounds more like domestic violence between cohabiting adults than random hate crimes against anonymous victims, you know?

In the U.S. for that same “most deadly year for trans people,” the FBI reports that only 3.2% of all the hate crimes reported to them were caused by the offenders’ transphobia (i.e., gender identity bias) and only 18 involved homicide. If I did the math right, that works out to maybe one trannie was murdered by someone solely for being trans. Not to minimize the sinfulness of killing anybody for any reason, but I don’t think that maybe one qualifies as “many, many.”

ABORTION: A session during an international pro-abortion conference identified the top four obstacles to making elective abortion available worldwide. 1. Conscientious objection by Hippocratic healthcare physicians. 2) The presence of the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant missionaries in healthcare. 3) Ultrasound, which shows the mother toward the humanity of her unborn child. 4) People who don’t want elective abortion legalized.

AYAAN HIRSI ALI: Before today, I was familiar with this woman only as a vocal opponent of female genital mutilation. She apparently has also been a staunch atheist since abandoning the Muslim faith of her childhood. She just announced that she has become a Christian. The article linked below is her autobiographical account of how she embraced, then rejected Islam, embraced, then rejected atheism, and has now embraced Christianity.

The overwhelming point of her testimony is that she has embraced Christianity because she has decided it is useful. “I no longer consider myself a Muslim apostate, but a lapsed atheist. Of course, I still have a great deal to learn about Christianity. I discover a little more at church each Sunday. But I have recognised, in my own long journey through a wilderness of fear and self-doubt, that there is a better way to manage the challenges of existence than either Islam or unbelief had to offer.”

I pray she grows into a true relationship with Jesus Christ as her Savior.

GERMANY: The nation’s Parliament has quietly accepted a constitutional amendment on “children’s rights” drafted by a pro-pedophilia activist organization. What should be named the “pervert’s rights” amendment was drafted by men involved in a pro-pedophilia activist organization. Krumme-13, a lobby group which advocates for lowering the age of consent and legalizing child pornography. The group is now demanding that the “pedophile [sexual] identity” be “protected from discrimination, criminalization, exclusion and persecution” under Germany’s equality laws. May God have mercy.

Kinda karmic, you know? Not to cheer that her career is over, but dang. The woman actually said, out loud, that her injury was proof there is no God.

Hamilton Porter wrote at Not The Bee, “Megan Rapinoe very well may be the most selfish, self-centered person in the history of sports. God doesn’t exist because you tripped over nothing and hurt yourself? God doesn’t exist because the world doesn’t revolve around you? You tripped over nothing so nothing is all there is?” Apparently so.

UK: Remember when the libtards sneered at Sarah Palin talking about death panels? Well, she was right. In the UK, you have no right to health care except what government bean counters allow. Indi Gregory was born 8 months ago with a mitochondrial disorder that required her to be in constant care. The UK’s bean counters decided her life was not valuable enough to warrant the cost and ordered her taken off life support.

The Vatican’s pediatric hospital pressured British authorities to release the baby to them and the Italian government went so far as to grant her emergency citizenship status so she could be immediately transferred. A four judge death panel ruled that it was more “compassionate” to end Indi’s life. She died today at 1:45 am.
