I regularly test for COVID & while I tested negative earlier this week, today I tested positive with a breakthrough case,' Warren wrote. 'Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms & am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated & boosted.'

On Sunday, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appeared on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss issues related to COVID-19. During the segment, Bartiromo spoke with DeSantis about the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals dissolving the stay on the Biden administration’s vaccine and test mandate for private employers. “…an appeals court on Friday allowed President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private employers to take effect as New York and California are reimposing these mask mandates,” Bartiromo said. “It looks like this is going to the Supreme Court.” DeSantis responded, saying that he thought the 6th Circuit made...

[Catholic Caucus] Brezhnev Papacy Gregory Dippipo at New Liturgical Movement nails this latest move in the war against traditional Catholicism by Pope Peron:Secondly, with permission, I share a reflection written by an Italian friend, followed by an elaboration of my own.“The pontificate of John Paul II produced a generation of Wojtylian priests, that of Benedict XVI a generation of Ratzingerian priests. The current pontificate has inspired no such school or movement. Gentlemen of a certain age, who had already taken hold of positions of power, have consolidated their power, but there is no ‘Bergoglio generation.’ This pontificate, with all its...

DEAR AMERICAN PEOPLE, DEAR FRIENDS, for two years now, a global coup has been carried out all over the world, planned for some time by an elite group of conspirators enslaved to the interests of international high finance. This coup was made possible by an emergency pandemic that is based on the premise of a virus that has a mortality rate almost analogous to that of any other seasonal flu virus, on the delegitimization and prohibition of effective treatments, and on the distribution of an experimental gene serum which is obviously ineffective, and which also clearly carries with it the...

[Catholic Caucus] Additional Notes from @FatherZ on the Dubious Dubia concerning “Traditionis custodes”My first reactions are HERE.Note One. The timing of these “responsa“… Merry Christmas everyone! It’s as if they wanted to hurt people even more by making these changes close to such an important day, bound up with Midnight Masses and so forth. Ed Pentin pointed out that the day that Francis signed off on them, 18 November, was the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilicas of Sts. Peter and Paul, and on that very day there was a massive power outage that reduced St. Peter’s to darkness.Note...

"I Want Candy" is a song written and originally recorded by the Strangeloves in 1965 that reached No. 11 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. English new wave group Bow Wow Wow released their version as the first and only single from their EP The Last of the Mohicans.

The song barely scraped the Top 50, but became an enduring new wave classic Bow Wow Wow - "I Want Candy" (1982)

Election officials in Florida's are looking into voter fraud from voters — or snowbirds — who live part of the year in the sunshine state and voted in the 2020 election. So far three residents of the Villages retirement community have been charged with voting more than once in last year’s presidential election.

“God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9). God exalted Christ by giving Him a new name. In today’s verse a question that arises is, What is the name that is above every name? To be consistent with Scripture, it has to be a name that goes beyond merely distinguishing one person from another. It has to be a name that describes Christ’s nature—revealing something of His inner being. Only such a name would cause Him to be clearly ranked above all others. Paul wasn’t referring to a comparative name, but...

[Catholic Caucus] Traditional Catholics: Exceptions to "Synodality" Caminante WandererArgentina, December 18, 2021The Synodal Church, which has unleashed the revolution of tenderness, has today given another evident sign of the direction its synodalities and tendernesses are taking, with the resolution of some dubia raised by the bishops to the Congregation for Divine Worship about the application of Traditiones custodes. Of course, the answers to these dubia that were quickly resolved and not like others that are still waiting to be responded, are all ordered to further stifle the traditional liturgy in the Catholic Church. Synodality, Pope Francis explains to us,...

Explanation: It is not a coincidence that planets line up. That's because all of the planets orbit the Sun in (nearly) a single sheet called the plane of the ecliptic. When viewed from inside that plane -- as Earth dwellers are likely to do -- the planets all appear confined to a single band. It is a coincidence, though, when three of the brightest planets all appear in nearly the same direction. Such a coincidence was captured earlier this month. Featured above (right to left), Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter were all imaged together in a line just after sunset, from...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin drove a crowd into a frenzy when she told them she would never get a vaccine. "It'll be over my dead body that I'll have to get a shot," Palin told attendees of Turning Point USA's AmericaFest 2021 in Phoenix, AZ. "I will not do that. I won't do it, and they better not touch my kids either." When asked by TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk what she would say to people who might be fired from a job or kicked out of school over an unwillingness to comply with a vaccine mandate, Palin answered, "I...

Finding out that not much works for voles. Trying a product called Volex but not holding my breath. Tracking powders look promising provided they walk through it and groom but powders are hard to come by. Thinking about getting a car battery, putting two rods in the ground and picking them off with a pellet gun. I know they have rodent systems that puts propane and oxygen in the hole, ignites and instantly kills but can't find anyone in my area that does that. Not sure I want to go that route either since it's a neighborhood.
