Ashley Biden is a disaster. I know this because my daughter (since moved!) was attending Jefferson University in Philadelphia, and during one of her years there, her apartment was located near Ashley’s. Apparently, Ashley was separated from her husband at the time.

At any rate, the balconies were adjacent to each other. Ashley would constantly ask for a lighter to be thrown over to her if she saw anyone out on the balcony (my daughter does not smoke). My daughter concluded that Ashley was a chain smoker (or worse, smoking crack or weed - just speculation). There were always Secret Service on the street keeping on eye out.

“That consequence has come about from the time when the Southern states gave certain folks one-way tickets to the Northern do-gooder cities to get their feed and birthing pens from those generous welfare systems.”

Exactly. The consequence was a demographic shuffle from one plantation system to another.

I was raised in Bath as well. It was a beautiful town; I am sorry to report that it is run down, seedy and teeming with section 8 types now.

Our daughter who graduated from medical school last spring and is in her first year of residency in Philadelphia is voting Trump (mid-twenties). Also, her husband and at least two of her friends are voting Trump, maybe a couple more are possible MAGA voters. So, there’s that; anecdotal of course but at least some of the young people are coming around to MAGA.

“... a letter dated May 2 and signed by Joseph Zwilling, Communications Director of the Archdiocese of New York, who on behalf of Cardinal Edward Egan confirmed that “Marist College is no longer a Catholic institution”—a statement that was repeated later this week to the Poughkeepsie Journal. Zwilling said Marist College will not be included in future editions of the Official Catholic Directory.

“The president of Marist College, Dr. Dennis Murray, has assured us that Marist College is truly independent, and does not identify itself as a Catholic college in any way,” wrote Zwilling in his letter to Patrick Reilly, president of Cardinal Newman Society.”

These polls that show razor thin leads for Harris are suspect and designed to make the steal seem plausible. Fox is part of it.

Wow - talented writing!! Refreshing to see.

“Close is the dog whistle the fags in the yellowstream “media” use to get out the RAT voters.”

Yes this. Also, by faking that this is a close election, the yellow stream media attempts to provide cover for a fraudulent steal by making it appear more plausible.

I am optimistic that this will not work; I suspect the race is not in reality the virtual tie that the pravda news is proclaiming it to be.

“Epstein lists all the Trump policies upon which he agrees and admits he should vote for him, then explains that the reasons he can’t is due to Trump’s hair, necktie, and confidence.”

I have no idea who this Epstein is; however, his shallow thinking is not unusual for hard core lefties. In fact, many Americans do not employ moral considerations when deciding their vote. As a result, we end up with “vote for the first A-A, or woman, (or whatever first)” type thinking.

The correct moral consideration for voting is to vote for the candidate who is going to advance the common good, certainly NOT Harris.

Freepers (and Treepers) beware - dem troll alert. Viking kitties around?

“...the majority of voters are in N.Y. City, Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, etc. The cities control the vote as in other blue states,...”

Don’t forget hippie valley, my name for the Ithaca area. That said though, I agree that most likely Trump won’t win NYS, but it is not beyond him either.

LOL

“All he has to do is cut the margin of loss in that demo - he doesn’t have to win them.”

You are absolutely right; however, this is the general age group of the pro-abortion cohort who would pull the lever for satan himself to keep the killing of the unborn legal in this country. Sick!

I am not sure how Trump can address the problem of how to reach this type of woman. (I am a grandmother and therefore a woman myself; I am disgusted with the many women who believe the lie that mothers murdering their own unborn children is OK.) Like the Pharaohs in Egypt before the Passover occurred, I fear their hearts are completely hardened. I don’t think we should give up on trying to change their minds, just being realistic.

Lovebirds? Really? How about fornicators.

I almost never watch videos (I prefer to read), but I watched this and it was great -thank you!

Excellent post, thank you.

“You don’t have to go centuries back to Pope St. Pius V’s enshrinement of the liturgy in Quo Primum to identify the contradiction.”

This is so key - Pope St. Pius the V codified the traditional liturgy in Quo Primum and then suddenly it gets abrogated?? Really? What about the law of non-contradiction? (rhetorical questions). The whole mess stinks to high heaven and the author is exactly right - the issue is doctrinal; the actual goal for the novus ordo adherents in the hierarchy is the complete disregard of doctrine which was previously based on scripture (and Tradition of course) as well as on instructions from our Lord Himself via scripture. The throwing out of doctrine is not our faith, this is a manmade church founded on 1960’s (and earlier) errors.

Sorry to rant, so thanks for letting me. I attend SSPX; Deo Gratias.

Yes! Awesome propers for the Baptist’s nativity mass yesterday! Thanks for posting this. Deo gratias for the TLM mass that I am privileged to attend daily!

“It’s going to be another Democrat boondoggle; throw out a lot of money (most of which “disappears”), take some photo ops, and get nothing real done.”

Very accurate assessment and well stated. Also, the numbers will be added to the “jobs created” report to boost it to make Biden’s employment numbers look better.

“It’s called projection...”

Perhaps worse than projection; projection is a defense mechanism arising unbidden in the subconscious mind, i.e.:

“Projection is a defense mechanism in which an individual recognizes their unacceptable traits or impulses in someone else to avoid recognizing those traits or impulses in themselves subconsciously.”

Whereas deliberately accusing your enemy of what you are doing yourself is a weapon of propaganda to confuse people developed by Goebbels (Hitler’s chief propagandist) “...accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”
