Repeating a statement from teacher Rebekah Peterson, Biden said, “Rebekah put a teacher’s creed into words when she said, ‘There is no such thing as someone else’s child.’ No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children,” he claimed.
Biden told his staffers’ children on “Take Our Kids to Work Day” that he is crazy about his six grandkids. He has seven. His son fathered a girl out-of-wedlock. Biden and his wife don’t know that a child who is born in or out of wedlock is their family. They think she is someone else’s.

State of the Union Address
President Barak Obama January 13, 2016 … Our troops are the finest fighting force in the history of the world. (Applause.) No nation attacks us directly, or our allies, because they know that’s the path to ruin. Surveys show our standing around the world is higher than when I was elected to this office, and when it comes to every important international issue, people of the world do not look to Beijing or Moscow to lead -- they call us. (Applause.) … That was then. What about now? How can one say that liberty is defended? Something else is going on. “…[Q]uasi líberi, et non quasi velámen habéntes malítiæ libertátem ….” “As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice ….” Excerpt Epistle 1 Pet. 2. Sir, with regard to America’s position in the world and defending freedom, your party wears a cloak for malice. Your party is far and away from pugilism for freedom’s sake, and malice takes the shape of censorship and deplatforming. Year: 1964
Budget: $3 million Box office: $125 million Theme song composer: John Barry Theme song lyrics: Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Newley What I read is that Shirley Bassey almost collapsed as she finished recording the song, it required so much physical effort. I’m pretty sure it took several takes to get it exactly right. The word, “Midas,” is an example of a literary device in prose, poetry, and song, called, allusion, alluding to Midas, who ruled the country of Phrygia, Asia Minor, a portion of modern Turkey. He was a wealthy king in Greek mythology because he could turn everything he touched into gold. Math builds. One concept rests upon the previous. Not so for grammar. Once you have learned grammar, and you can learn it in a year, there is nothing more. I lie. I look at my grammar book frequently, but that is different, for my mind is a sieve.

 1347-1380 Catherine’s life was explicitly offered for the good of the Church, which she loved wholeheartedly for the sake of Jesus her Bridegroom. Her letters are filled with appeals to join her in this unmitigated service. At times it can be tempting to be discouraged by the circumstances we see around us: divisions and conflicts within the Church, polarization in our nation, and wars and violence throughout the world. It can be tempting even to despair that anything can be done in the face of such unprecedented troubles. But we are not alone in this – our sister Catherine knows the things we face. Her lifetime saw an actual schism in the Church; polarization and feuds to the point of bloodshed in her city-state; wars near at hand and throughout Europe. She was slandered both by strangers and her own family and nearly assassinated during one of her times’ many riotous outbreaks. Indeed, we can say that like her Spouse, she is not one “who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way.” And Catherine was not crushed by this. Her heart was on the Cross with Jesus Crucified; her eyes were confidently fixed on Christ the Victorious One. She lived the message of the empty tomb: that it is through suffering and death that death itself is conquered, and that we fight on the side of One who has already won the battle. A reflection from Mother Amata Veritas of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist They wear a traditional habit, and the average age of the nuns in her community is 35. “Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them, and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it.” “The people in charge notice, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion; they’re resorting to force. When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful.” Tucker Carlson had 57 million views; 18% of the country watched. The settlement Fox News made with Dominion smells. Likewise, the Catholic Church ought never to have made settlements in any abuse cases. Go to court. A New York Times columnist argued that President Biden’s declining health should not be a concern in his reelection bid. Well, well, well. Finally, they have admitted what has been denied for a long time. According to a CBS poll, 72% of American voters believe that America is out of control. So who is running the country? Not the 57 million, but a cabal of influence peddlers, greedy corporations, socialists, oligarchs, and snowflakes (persons with an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions). “Nevertheless,” Thomas More shouts, and standing beside him Tucker Carlson roars, “We are more powerful.”  I have tried to understand the mind of my young student. We have come together once a week for more than two years, and still, I seem to be no further along. When I started listening to this story, and I listen to many before determining it is the one, I discovered that this peculiarity is a man’s recollection of events that began when he was 10. You don’t know Alexander, but you might have read some of the 500 titles or more in his library. He is an only child, and this account may unearth a portion of his boyish imagination. Listen and envision what the historical tale says about a boy. Is he heedful or heedless? Could he be...Alexander? And am I the servitor? I take notice when an expert speaks.
“It was a Media Research Center poll after the fact that showed that had that information been routinely reported, voter support for Joe Biden likely would have fallen to the point he would have lost multiple swing state fights, and the election.” https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/election-interference-new-details-emerge-on-hunter-laptop/?utm_source=PNA&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=PNA6&utm_content=PNA6 He is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute (Reagan Library), Publisher and CEO of The Washington Post, and founding CEO of Politico.

The little church in Roussay, France, was full of eager people. They had come to hear a great preacher, one who was famous for the fiery love which imbued his inspiring yet simply worded sermons.
At last, he entered the church: Fr. Louis de Montfort himself. He approached the pulpit, led the faithful in prayer, and began preaching. Suddenly, the church door burst open, and a drunk man stumbled inside. The man was angry. He staggered up the aisle, screaming slurred insults at Fr. Montfort. The congregation froze, aghast. Everyone looked at the priest who stood silently in the pulpit, gazing at the man. What would he do? Fr. Montfort left his place and came down the aisle to meet the drunk. And then, to the amazement of them all, he knelt in front of the man and humbly begged forgiveness. If there was anything he, Fr. Montfort, had done to offend or hurt the man, he asked most humbly for pardon. The drunk man was as astonished as the congregation. He stared at Fr. Montfort for a moment—then turned and quietly left the church with a sorrowful expression. Fr. Montfort rose, returned to the pulpit, and finished preaching his sermon—though he had already preached magnificently with his actions! St. Louis de Montfort left lasting impressions on all he met, winning over even the most hardened sinners. He was successful because he always relied on the Rosary to help him. Narrative courtesy of catholiccompany.com Montfort, which means “mountain fort”, was born in 1673 and died in 1716, age 43. Anechoic Chamber
Here is the etymology of an- an- is a privative prefix, signifying absence from and comes from the Greek an-, meaning not or without, the Greek prefix being a fuller form of the one represented in English by a- or an-, which is a later form of the Latin ad meaning to, before -n-, as in annex, announce, annihilate Echo you know. Microsoft Headquarters “The anechoic chamber in Building 87 was constructed with six layers of concrete and steel, which all rest on damping springs in the floor to eliminate nearby vibrations. Fiberglass wedges cover the walls and ceiling, designed so that sound waves get trapped in their purposeful geometry and dissipate. “The result is a room that is -20.35 decibels. Yes, negative. Any sound pressure that dips below the threshold for human hearing is represented as negative decibels. “For comparison, the sound of breathing has been measured at 10 decibels, while the sound of air molecules colliding in a gas or liquid (known as Brownian motion) is -23 decibels. At the other end of the extreme, a rock concert may be 110 decibels. “In Microsoft’s chamber, the subtle sounds of the human body — breath, circulation, digestion, heartbeat, joint movement — become undeniably audible, and the rustle of clothes sounds like the roar of the ocean. “In other words, inside this anechoic chamber, your body creates its own soundtrack.” The foregoing was courtesy of interestingfacts.com.

The Good Friday prayer for Jews is an annual prayer in the Catholic liturgy. It is one of several petitions known in the Catholic Church as the Solemn Intercessions for various classes and stations of peoples: for the Church; for the pope; for bishops, priests, and deacons; for the faithful; for catechumens; for other Christians; for the Jews; for others who do not believe in Christ; for those who do not believe in God; for those in public office; and for those in special need. These prayers are ancient, predating the eighth century at least, as they are found in the Gelasian Sacramentary.
Before 1955 Let us pray also for the faithless Jews: that Almighty God may remove the veil from their hearts; so that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord. (‘Amen’ is not responded, nor is said ‘Let us pray’, or ‘Let us kneel, or ‘Arise’, but immediately is said:) Almighty and eternal God, who dost not exclude from thy mercy even Jewish faithlessness: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; that acknowledging the light of thy Truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness. Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. 1955 Pius XII Let us pray also for the faithless Jews: that almighty God may remove the veil from their hearts; so that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord. Let us pray. Let us kneel. [pause for silent prayer] Arise. Almighty and eternal God, who dost not exclude from thy mercy even Jewish faithlessness: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; that acknowledging the light of thy Truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. 1959 John XXIII Let us pray also for the Jews: that almighty God may remove the veil from their hearts; so that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord. Let us pray. Let us kneel. Arise. Almighty and eternal God, who dost also not exclude from thy mercy the Jews: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; that acknowledging the light of thy Truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. FULL STOP Now come the accommodations. Some call it ecumenism. 1970 New Mass Paul VI Let us pray for the Jewish people, the first to hear the word of God, that they may continue to grow in the love of his name and in faithfulness to his covenant. (Prayer in silence. Then the priest says:) Almighty and eternal God, long ago you gave your promise to Abraham and his posterity. Listen to your Church as we pray that the people you first made your own may arrive at the fullness of redemption. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. 2007 Benedict XVI Let us also pray for the Jews: That our God and Lord may illuminate their hearts, that they acknowledge Jesus Christ is the Savior of all men. (Let us pray. Kneel. Rise.) Almighty and eternal God, who want that all men be saved and come to the recognition of the truth, propitiously grant that even as the fullness of the peoples enters Thy Church, all Israel be saved. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen. No one in the Church has ever made heavenly hotel accommodations for me. Quite the contrary, I am obliged to conform myself to Church teachings now the same as when received into the Church in 1961. There is a double standard, cleverly worded. I’m glad my parents died before the 2020 virus. Seeing either one in a mask would have killed me. My younger sister and I never wore a mask in each other’s presence. We were booted out of a Grass Valley, CA, store for not wearing one, and I said, “Okay. You don’t want our business.” The same was true for my students and me. We were unafraid of one another. Until more proofs emerged my blog was silent because I am not a medical researcher.
Father J. R. R. Mawdsley, physically persecuted and imprisoned by Myanmar (Burma) when he protested with the pro-democracy group, was ordained a Catholic priest in 2016.
Refusing to comply with State-Church tyranny and refusing to tyrannically compel the faithful, he left his community without permission in January 2022, incurring suspension and expulsion. He will seek regularization once the hierarchy ceases obstructing tradition. Father has visited Sacramento. I don’t know where he is now. No one misleads me. I have my own faculties and have had from an early age, but certain men speak to what is true. No one is trying to take me away from the FSSP, and this would-be writer doesn’t pick fights! Slavery on Earth or in Heaven is unnatural. I’m just in love with the God who found me and saved me and He with me. It was all a setup, His. My website is for 16 and above.
“A doctor or nurse will conduct the four-to-six-hour examination and will preserve this evidence in a sexual assault evidence collection kit, commonly referred to as a rape kit. If a survivor chooses to report the rape to the police, the evidence in the rape kit can be one very powerful tool to bring a perpetrator to justice.” https://www.endthebacklog.org/what-is-the-backlog/what-is-a-rape-kit-and-rape-kit-exam/ A sexual assault on children occurs in every religious body and in equal measure, not just the Catholic Church. Statistics prove it. Search the internet to find the findings. I’ve read them, but I’m not going to assist this time. I have personal experience. No names. A 16-year-old girl at a certain university claimed to have been raped by a man who was not part of the college community. The female resident director and I did the initial investigation. We called the SFPD, and they took over. Talking her into getting a rape kit was difficult, but she consented after speaking with her mother who lived on the East Coast. The SFPD transported the girl to SF General. The resident director and I met up with them there. A female nurse practitioner conducted the interview in a closed room. Present: me, the resident director, a male police officer, and the girl’s female friend, also 16, so four female and two male persons. About halfway through the interview, the police officer left and posted himself outside the closed door. I stayed for the entire interview, which was professionally done. Among other things, it was revealed that she had not taken a bath or shower. The resident director had persuaded her not to do so. I left the room after about one hour, and the director stayed with her at the hospital the entire night. Similar procedures would apply to boys who are targets, but I have no experience with them. I bring this up because I view reports by broadcast journalists. Often, they forget to mention the rape kit. It’s all about who said what, who’s representing this or that person, what are the crowds saying, and what happened five years ago or 20 years ago. Very titillating. Initially and for much of the duration, doctors, nurses, paramedics, and police officers are the competent people, not journalists, not the public. In the 1950s even saying the word rape was taboo. It is good that it is not taboo now. However, the pendulum has swung way to the left, and now children are being exposed to all manner of filth. Parents and guardians are their primary educators and are in charge, not the schools. I would recommend that pediatricians join and give the medical side of diseases at the appropriate time. While walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in the Villages and discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a twelve-foot-long alligator that suddenly emerged from the murky water.
It began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Ruger .22 pistol with me, I would not be here today. Just one shot to my estranged husband’s kneecap was all it took. The gator got him easily, and I was able to escape by walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved in lawyer’s fees was incredible, and the life insurance was a big bonus! Here’s a little painting I have. Alexander saw it and said, “It’s creepy.” “Why?” I asked. He said, “He’s always looking at you.”  The man is a polymath. People are distracted by personality and ignore what counts. I don’t know what kind of personality Julius Caesar had. Do you? If Trump hired me, that would be fine, and if he told me to do something objectionable, a resignation would follow, but not a book, the proper title being, “My Greedy Betrayal.”
Observing people at the supermarket, on the street, or at Mass and roughly 50 relevant emails per day lead to searching, scanning, thinking, and writing. Tutoring and listening to people help. Each blog post is edited about 10 times. The release of anger, most of the time, is one benefit. Many of the great writers and thinkers are on my side, and they are allowed to speak in my place. I imagine something similar is what keeps other fools fuh-functioning.  drawing courtesy of howtostartablogonline.net
Nancy Pelosi’s $200 million gift to the Presidio Trust
[The story is about taxpayer money given to the national park in San Francisco.] “These days, exclusivity seems to be the Presidio’s draw. When the heiress Ivy Getty married recently, Pelosi officiated her wedding at city hall. Afterwards, reported The Daily Mail, guests who partied too hard had a log cabin available to them at the Presidio National Park, for IV drips.” The quote is the last paragraph in a story written by Monica Chen for The Spring Magazine and published on December 2, 2021. https://thespringmagazine.com/2021/12/02/nancy-pelosis-200-million-gift-to-the-presidio-trust/ It always has been and always will be so to the end of time, that where there is a “go-a-way” or “break-up” there is sure to be close by a “crib” for the “grafters” to “namasi” into when there is a “tumble” to “square” themselves and double bank the fly “cops.” — The National Police Gazette (New York, NY), 24 Jun. 1871 Merriam-Webster Unrelated but hysterical, her campaign was forced to pay $7,500 for 21 robocalls. https://americandigest.com/nancy-pelosi-forced-to-settle-harrassment-lawsuit-brought-by-illinois-man-over-robocalls/? |
