Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 38Psalm 38[a] A psalm of David. A petition. 1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. 2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me. 3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. 4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. 5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly. 6 I am bowed down and brought very...

The problem is, it’s not doing enough damage or terrifying enough people. Consider the Event 201 coronavirus pandemic simulation – It was held by the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation only two months before the real thing “coincidentally” happened in early 2020. The pandemic war game was less about saving lives and more about how the elites planned to keep the public under control. The suppression of alternative media and censorship in social media was discussed at great length. Dissenting voices need to be silenced if the Reset is going to prevail. One factor within...

During the Presidential campaign Joe Biden refused to say whether or not he supported packing of the Supreme Court which indicated to many of us that he would certainly support it. Now that Biden is President has control of both the House and Senate the only thing remaining in his way to turn America into a banana republic is the Supreme Court. Consequently democrats are now engaged in the deceitful drum beat of a broken Supreme Court. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) once again puts his contempt for the intelligence of the American people on display with an idiotic argument that adding...

An attorney representing the family of slain Capitol Building protestor Ashli Babbitt clapped back at the Justice Department after officials announced Wednesday there would be no charges filed against the plainclothes officer who shot and killed her on Jan. 6. “The shooting of Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021 by an unidentified U.S. Capitol Police Officer was an unjustified use of deadly force which violated her constitutional rights,” said attorney Terrell N. Roberts, III, of Roberts & Woods in Riverdale, Md. “It is clear from video footage that Ashli did not pose a danger to the officer, or any other...

Explanation: The Flame Nebula is a stand out in optical images of the dusty, crowded star forming regions toward Orion's belt and the easternmost belt star Alnitak, a mere 1,400 light-years away. Alnitak is the bright star at the right edge of this infrared image from the Spitzer Space Telescope. About 15 light-years across, the infrared view takes you inside the nebula's glowing gas and obscuring dust clouds though. It reveals many stars of the recently formed, embedded cluster NGC 2024 concentrated near the center. The stars of NGC 2024 range in age from 200,000 years to 1.5 million years...

CNN has been hemorrhaging viewers since President Biden took office, with ratings down more than 50 percent in multiple categories since Inauguration Day.

CNN averaged 2.2 million viewers during the first three weeks of 2021, but it has averaged just one million viewers since Biden took office, a staggering decline of 54 percent. CNN’s struggles are even more prominent among the key advertising demographic of adults age 25-54, with a drop of 60 percent. It...

[Catholic Caucus] The Forgotten ‘October Surprise’ of the 2013 ConclaveApril 15, 2021 (Steven O’Reilly) – As regular readers of Roma Locuta Est know, we have continued to investigate the events surrounding the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, as well as the conclave of 2013 which elected Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio SJ as pope. One can read our series of articles on these questions in The Conclave Chronicles.Our interest in such things has been primarily historical. I suspect most readers will have at least some familiarity with the “St. Gallen mafia” and the allegations of its attempt to dethrone Pope Benedict XVI...

The Brearley School is a posh private girls school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It costs $54,000 per year to send your daughter there. Brearley parent Andrew Gutmann is no longer going to throw his money down a rathole of radicalization. A reader of this blog whose daughter goes to Brearley sent me a scan of the following letter, which was sent this week to all Brearley parents by Mr. Gutmann:The letter.....

You need a strong stomach to be a Jew on Twitter, says Nicole Lampert Stock image of a smartphone user Stock image of a smartphone user (Credit: Getty Images/ oatawa) You need a strong stomach to be a Jew on Twitter. For every genuinely warm feeling you get from someone wishing you Shabbat Shalom, or the fun you’ll have arguing over whether that round doughy thing is pronounced baygel or beigel, you’ll be exposed to ten messages of hate. They come from the far right and they come from the far left and all sorts of random places in between....

Federal law and ATF regulations require a licensed firearms dealer (an FFL holder) to record the date a firearm was received, the date of receipt, and the name and address or the name and license number (FFL number) of the person (or corporation) from whom the firearm was received. The dealer must also record the name of the manufacturer and importer (if any) and the model, serial number, type and caliber or gauge. Then, when a firearm is disposed of, for any reason, a dealer is required to record the disposition: showing the date of sale or other disposition– gift,...

Stanford study quietly published at NIH.gov proves face masks are absolutely worthless against CovidThe diapers most of us are wearing on our face most of the time apparently have no effect at stopping Covid-19. This explains a lot.Did you hear about the peer-reviewed study done by Stanford University that demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that face masks have absolutely zero chance of preventing the spread of Covid-19? No? It was posted on the the National Center for Biological Information government website. The NCBI is a branch of the National Institute for Health, so one would think such a study would...

Jon Ryan Schaffer, the frontman of the band Iced Earth, has agreed to cooperate with investigators in hopes of getting a lighter sentence, and the Justice Department will consider putting Schaffer in the federal witness security program, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said. This signals that federal prosecutors see him as a valuable cooperator as they continue to investigate the militia groups and other extremists involved in the insurrection on Jan. 6 as Congress was meeting to certify President Joe Biden’s electoral win

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) will no longer wear a face mask as he walks the U.S. Capitol and goes to the Senate floor after being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to a report. “At this point, I’ve been vaccinated. Everybody working in the Senate has been vaccinated,” Cruz told CNN on Thursday. Cruz has followed the footsteps of a fellow senator, Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who also ditched his mask—which isn’t a requirement for members in the Senate, but it is for those in the House. Paul, 58, unlike Cruz, hasn’t been fully vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus,...

"Our economy, our communities and our future rely on a strong transportation system that supports our safety and growth,"...
