As a Catholic I’m of course appalled as liberals babies are just as deserving of life as conservatives children but I’ll say this for them, given they are deeply in bed with the greens who believe humans are a danger to the earth this type of thing is one of the few areas where their actions are consistent with their beliefs.
Update: This also explains their dependance of that Ghastly Tom Hagen math as their Islamic supporters don’t buy into this.
The Indiana Heat of the WNBA are currently in the #7 playoff spot, a half game ahead of the #8 team and a full 3 games ahead of the #9 team which means that barring disaster over their last 13 games Caitlin Clark is going to take a team that hasn’t made it to the playoffs for nearly a decade back into the WNBA playoffs.
Can’t wait to see the ratings.
Kamala is busy stealing Trump ideas promising to do all kinds of things that she hasn’t bothered to do before.
If I’m the GOP I’m quickly passing a bill to make tips exempt from federal taxes and to advance the credit that Trump proposed that Kamala is pushing as well.
Get the both passed and let the dems in the senate kill them the week of their convention.
Epstein explained how the prosecutors tried to get him to give testimony to support Trump’s impeachment, even if it wasn’t true. Here is Tartaglione’s description of their conversation:
He [Epstein] said, ‘I don’t know anything. . . . But the government told me I don’t have to prove what I say about Trump as long as Trump’s people can’t disprove it.’ I [Tartaglione] said ‘Yes, he’s the President of the United States. His people are the FBI.’ He [Epstein] said, ‘That’s what I said, and they said, no, the FBI’s our people, not his people.’
It is worth noting that Section 1622 of the U.S. Criminal Code (Title 18) provides as follows:
§1622. Subornation of perjury
Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
There have been no follow up interviews with Tartaglione. Jessica reports that the day after she posted the audio of her interview with him, he was transferred out of the Brooklyn MDC, where he had been for eight years, to an unknown destination, and has not been heard from since:
I miss the days when the FBI was actually busy protecting Americans and following the law, assuming they were actually doing that in those days.
I’ve spent a lot of years comparing the Abortion industry to the Slavery industry and there is one thing that they both have in common.
There’s some real irony here. Pro-life groups have spent decades campaigning against abortion and especially against late-term abortion. But it seems many clinics (like the ones in New York mentioned above) are now feeling pressure to stop performing these late abortions, not because of a change in the law but because of Bidenflation. I guess that’s what they call a silver lining.
I’m not a fan of Biden/Harris inflation but if the higher prices are saving kids lives I’ll take the hit.
For 40 years I have been picking up meds for DaWife but have never had to take any myself.
This ended today as apparently my blood pressure which has been historically low all my life has shot up to levels so high that my wife is shocked I haven’t had a stroke.
This is not a huge surprise as my father had issues with both his heart and high blood pressure and died at 65, then again he was a heavy smoker till he was 45 and a heavy drinker till about 50 and I’ve never smoked and I drink so infrequently (maybe a dozen drinks a year) that most people think I’m a teetotaler.
I think not having regular meds till 61 isn’t bad but it’s a dramatic change for me and given the BP levels I’ve been showing over the last two weeks I guess it’s necessary but I would have liked to make it to retirement before I needed meds.
It is what it is and after all a man has to die of SOMETHING
I have today off but ended waking up a full hour before my normal work alarm quipped about it on twitter leading to a slightly comical exchange with Wombat from The Other McCain site which ended in this tweet:
I have a lot of atonement to get done, so I'm not in a particular hurry to move on to Purgatory/Fiddler's Green.
I mention this because one of the great things about the Indulgence calendar is that it lists many of the ways one might earn a plenary indulgence which eliminates the need for purgatory.
Of course if one still has attachment to sin the indulgence becomes partial but even a partial indulgence lessens the time in purgatory as it advances the purification of the soul which is the purpose of purgatory to purify souls that are destined for heaven which have not reached the state necessary for entry.
So even if you don’t use the Indulgence calendar for it’s standard purpose take advantage of the list of indulgences and types to earn them for yourself.
Think of it, simply reading scripture for a half hour or more carries a plenary indulgence. That’s the easiest way to get it done next to doing the stations of the cross.
I’ve already taped next week’s Your Prayer Intentions show which deals with the beginning of the Bread of Life Discourses. It’s one of the most ignored parts of scripture because our protestant friends tend to pass it over because it’s very hard to spin the Eucharistic away as a symbol rather than the actual body and blood of Christ when reading it and of course our non Christian friends ignore the lot.
It’s so blatant that Jonathan Roumie, the devout Catholic who plays Jesus in the show did a reading of the passage in his Jesus voice at the latest Eucharistic Conference because as he noted it’s unlikely that they will get to film that scene.
To give you a sneak preview of what I said note this part just of the scripture involved which will be part of this sunday’s Gospel at every Catholic church in the world:
When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” Jesus answered them and said,
“Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.”
So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?”Jesus answered and said to them,
“This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”
So they said to him, “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?
The irony here is that he literally had just fed five thousands of them with 5 loaves and two fishes. They saw it happen. In fact as I noted in last week’s show if this story had been false it would have been the easiest to prove because the logistics of 1st century Judea would have meant that the supplies and wagons to carry food for 5000+ (that number didn’t count women and children) would have been very visible, yet they still asked for a sign.
I submit and suggest they asked for another sign because they didn’t want to acknowledge the sign they had just seen because once they did, then a choice would have to be made.
Basically it’s the same choice Israel had when God actually appeared to them on the mountain (Exodus chapter 19 & 20). People often forget this in scripture, God actually appearing to the people of Israel and the people of Israel asking through Moses for God not to do that again. I blame Cecil B DeMille because that bit was left out of his epic The 10 Commandments and thus people who never actually read Exodus chapters 19 & 20 don’t realize it. I suspect that it’s the primary reason why the people of Israel still exist as a people.
And that brings us to the opening of the Paris Olympics and God’s public response.
I’m not in the least surprised at the acts of the left in their mockery of the Last Supper, nor am I surprised by their disingenuous response claiming in English that this was not what they were doing when in French it clearly stated that this was the case:
This sort of educated bullshit requires you to ignore the simple fact that the Olympic presentation was literally called "La Cène Sur Un Scène Sur La Seine," i.e. "The Last Supper on a Stage on the Seine."
They think you're easily gaslighted. They have contempt for you, prole. https://t.co/Jqk3LgcFxH

What surprised me was the very public response by God. The blackout that followed can easily be explained away as a technical issue and under normal circumstances that would be the reasonable response to the blackout the next day.
What can’t be so easily explained away is the fact that there was one rather prominent structure in the city that was not affected by the blackout:
The real irony is that Church was built in reparation for sins against the church by France.
I’ve argued for many years that God has not stopped giving signs, but we have trained ourselves not to see them because to see them generates a choice that comes down to this.
If God in general and the Catholic Church in particular is real, what will I change about my life in response?
I’ve argued that said signs are usually personal and only rarely public and certainly not commonly visible to the entire world. Apparently there are exceptions.
Well God has given you a classic sign, a public sign, nobody hurt but a visible sign of his existence. The media will of course run away from it, my parish priest has already noted that while many protestants acknowledge the blackout as a sign they have ignored the church retaining the light. Now it’s up to you.
You have a choice, you can explain it away or you can acknowledge it and act accordingly.
