Paris and Majdal Shams: Realty Doesn’t Care About the Left’s Spin

I find the spin interesting.

In France the IOC is doing their best to pretend that their insult to Christians by parodying the last supper with drag queens didn’t happen. They are exercising copyright claims on sites that show the video in order to suppress the reaction.

But the reality is there. The people have seen it Christians and our allies around the world have condemned it (although the French Bishops have spun and the Pope has been silent) and the reality of the attack, which would never be done to Muslims is here.

Meanwhile in the village of Majdal Shams Hezbollah and their allies where all in on the rocket attack there and boasted of it, until it was revealed that they slew a bunch of Druze kids playing soccer.

Suddenly it became “Rockets? Moi?” and the media was all over downplaying the attack, omitting the death of the children and saying that it was unclear where the attack came from.

Both of these attacks and their denials are the same.

Both the organizers of the Paris Olympics and the Butchers of Hezbollah hit the targets they were aiming and are proud to have done so. It’s just that neither wish to deal with the temporal consequences of what they have done and all of their spin is to keep those temporal consequences from happening.

But the reality doesn’t care, those temporal consequences are coming and all the spin in the world won’t spot it.

As for the spiritual consequences, we must pray for them, because those consequences are coming too and as Catholics it’s is our duty to pray for these, our enemies.

It’s not easy but it’s also not optional.

Under the Fedora: Was it only 30 Days Ago?, Not at all insurrectiony, Well That’s Post Christianity For You, The Tom Hagen Math on Jews is now official, And a 1972 League no Hitter

Quick reminder: 30 Days ago Joe Biden was still the nominee of the Democrats and every MSM outlet out there INSISTED that if you suggested that he was in the slightest bit impaired you were a dishonest deep fake liar.

That it has been under a month since this moment is still a matter of wonderment for me.

The prime minister of Israel spoke to congress this Wednesday and as this happened a bunch of people who do not support Donald Trump for president stormed the capital and defaced a bunch of monuments in DC while burning American Flags and assaulted police

The press didn’t find any of this a problem and I predict the US government will not consider any of this stuff very insurrectiony. After all it’s not like they were Trump voters or doing anything REALLY dangerous like praying at an abortion clinic.

Well that’s what you get with stolen elections isn’t it?

This is how bad the gaslighting has become with the press.

Old friend Elizabeth Scalia is beside herself over the blatant in your face lies that the press is telling but I say the real issue here is lack of Christ:

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and you’d be surprised how a sermon on the dangers of hell heard when young might make a difference later in life.

While she skipped the speech of Netanyahu’ she had a private meeting with him away from the cameras and she came out of that meeting breathing fire:

This along with the ignoring of angry terrorist sympathizers in DC & NYC are the fulfillment of this statement that I made many years ago:

Right now the left has the Gays and the Transgenders and the Hollywood elites & media in which they are overrepresented and they figure that’s the best things to have, but in America Islam is a thing of the future.  In 20 years the children of Muslims now being raised on the tenets of Sharia law in America will be old enough to vote and Democrats going to make sure they get those votes when the time come, not now but 10-20 years from now.

DTG 2016

If you’re an American Jew and you don’t take measures to defend or protect yourself now you’re going to doom yourself to a future where the days of Moses in Egypt are your best case scenario.

Ok that’s an exaggeration, but not by a lot

And to lighten this heavy move our 1972 Baseball league had an interesting twist.

Last years World Series Winning LA dodgers have fallen on hard times with the worst record in the league and were facing the Cleveland Indians deep in a fight for a wild card spot. They started Wayne Twitchell who came in with a 1-10 record vs the 8-10 Bill Stoneman.

And this happened:

That the thing about baseball you never know when something like this is going to happen.

Ireland Gets The Post Catholic Country It Deserves

Over the last few years Ireland decided it was sick of being the Catholic Country it was famous for being.

It hasn’t worked out so well:

There’s just 175 people in Dundrum, a village that has been there for centuries. But the government just announced—with no consultation, no discussion, no appeal—that they are moving 280 migrants into the town. That’s nearly going to triple the population overnight.

Read the entire tweet from Rebel news, the key line concerning a 2nd such move and the people’s response:

The Irish state broadcaster tried to find a single resident in Coolock who supports this scheme; they couldn’t find one. But the government is dead-set on it.

Don’t worry Ireland, when you’ve survived your suicide attempt the Church will still be there to rebuild civilization as it always has.

Update Here is the tweet for those of you who don’t want to click the link:

What’s most interesting thing about this self destruction that is taking place in Ireland, and Canada and England, and France and now the US is that it is all self inflicted.

Tonight is A Moment of Truth on Loan From God To Donald Trump and the Nation

Ebenezer Scrooge: “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all three shall strove within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. Oh, tell me that I may sponge away the writing on this stone!”

Charles Dickens (with one k) A Christmas Carol

Kafni: I can not give you my belief or my devotion, so I’m afraid my honesty is all I have to give after giving up my daughter.
Jesus: I understand. I ask a lot from those who follow me, but I ask little of those who do not.

The Chosen Thunder 2021

What a difference a week makes.

As recently as one week ago tonight was going to be a moment that had been repeated many times in American History in a four year cycle. Tonight is the night when one of the major party candidates for president makes his case publicly to both his party’s convention and to the American people in a prime time speech.

As such a moment it would be of news value and depending on the result of the election and how the speech is received of some history value as well. Something that the chattering classes might talk about for a bit but nothing that would be considered earth shattering

But that was then.

Now instead of just Donald Trump, the former president and GOP nominee making a speech to the nation, it’s also Donald Trump, the man who missed being murdered by the tiniest of tiny margins giving his first public address the nation after facing death.

Salena Zito who had been scheduled to interview Trump that Saturday and who was feet away from Trump on the same grandstand as Corey Camperatore who died saving his wife and daughter interviewed Trump the next day and wrote this report:

“That reality is just setting in,” he said. “I rarely look away from the crowd. Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?”  

Talking as he boarded his plane in Bedminster, New Jersey, for Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention starts Monday and lasts through Thursday, Trump said his speech will meet the moment that history demands. “It is a chance to bring the country together. I was given that chance,” he said.

Early Sunday morning, Trump posted on Truth Social that it was “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening” and that he would “fear not.” Again, in talking to the Washington Examiner, he invoked “God” for his deliverance.

“This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together. The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would’ve been two days ago,” he said.

I have written in the past that Donald Trump as a man of 78 is set in his ways. It is very difficult for such a man to change the habits of a lifetime, but if there is anything that CAN do such a thing it’s the hand of God allowing him to walk away from certain death.

One of the most important things for a soul is to see itself in the light of truth and Donald Trump was given the incredible gift of being able to see that every remaining day of his life, is a gift from God.

In short, he’s been given an incredible grace, today we find out what he chooses to do with said grace.

The world will be watching. I suspect he will not disappoint.
