A New Year and I got out of bed and went to work on New Year's Day at 7am. Normal routine was a good thing that day getting out of normal routine this time of year does things that are negative IMHO...

A conservative YouTuber who calls himself “The Critical Drinker” gave a positive review to the new movie “Wicked.” I haven’t seen the movie, but I totally agree with him that movies should be judged on their own merits, and not based on the political ideologies of the actors who are in the movie. His praise for this movie is a great argument against the “cancel culture” that is so common today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYtRO5S9g1k

Toy manufacturer Mattel has said it "deeply regrets" a misprint on packaging for dolls inspired by the new Wicked movie which listed the address for an adult website. The company recently released the singing dolls ahead of the long-awaited film starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. But eagle-eyed fans posted images on social media showing the packaging had a pornography website on it, instead of the movie's web address. In a statement, Mattel apologised for the "unfortunate error" and advised parents that the misprinted website "is not appropriate for children". The BBC has seen online instructions on Mattel's website, for...

[Catholic Caucus] The Attempt to Ban the Latin Mass Continues (Spearheaded Now By Roche and Viola, With Francis Having Lost Interest) The Traditional Latin Mass at the Cathedral of St. Eugene in Santa Rosa, CA was once packed and overflowing each Sunday with faithful Catholics. Here is a picture of children joyfully preparing for a Sung Latin Mass on Christmas 2022:This represents the transmission of Catholic belief and culture that is so desperately needed- and lacking- in today's world (especially the West). Now, the Vatican (specifically, Cardinals Roche and Viola) have ordered this beautiful liturgy- the one that sustained this...

[Catholic Caucus] Personal Experience, Not Moral Absolutes, to Steer Synod Study Group’s Discernment on Sexuality QuestionsA study group established by Pope Francis to develop a synodal way of discerning Catholic Church teaching on so-called controversial issues, including sexual morality and life issues, has proposed what it calls a “new paradigm” that is heavy on situational ethics but minimizes moral absolutes and established Church teaching.The group, which is one of 10 study groups the Pope created in February to provide “in-depth analysis” of “matters of great relevance” that had emerged during the Synod on Synodality’s 2023 session, presented its findings to...

Kamala Harris would ‘eliminate religious freedom,’ has ‘extreme’ anti-Catholic agenda: Catholic leadersKamala Harris, who was ranked the most liberal senator in the US, has an ‘extremist’ pro-abortion, pro-LGBT record and would likely ‘persecute’ Catholics, as the Biden-Harris administration has already done, Michael Hichborn and other Catholics leaders warned.A Kamala Harris presidency would be a threat to the religious freedoms of Catholics and the lives of preborn babies, Catholics leaders are warning.Vice President Kamala Harris is currently the Democratic Party’s choice to run for president in 2024. Barring any last-minute changes, the Democrats will formally nominate her in the first week...

Secret Service officials repeatedly rejected Donald Trump’s request for additional security in the two years before last weekend’s assassination attempt, The Post has learned. The ex-president, 78, asked for more agents and magnetometers at large public events he attended, as well as extra snipers for outdoor venues, four insiders told The Washington Post, which first reported the damning revelation. Each request was shot down by senior officials who claimed the agency lacked the resources Trump was asking for, the outlet reported. Trump was receiving a LESSER level of protection afforded to former presidents and major party presidential candidates when 20-year-old...

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) slammed President Biden on Friday calling him a “demented man” in a post on the social media platform X. “Our current President is a demented man propped up by wicked & deranged people willing to destroy our country to remain in power,” Rubio said in the post, which features a video of Biden following a Friday announcement about the Israel-Hamas war. In the video, Biden is walking away from a podium as someone asks him a question. “Mr. President, can you tell us sir, [former President Trump] refers to himself as a ‘political prisoner’ and blames...

According to Massachusetts authorities, 44-year-old Slade Sohmer has pleaded not guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography and two counts of dissemination of child pornography.

The public is mostly unaware of the danger surrounding classified programs like Geoengineering. Kidnapping, homelessness, accusations of “drug addiction,” internet defamation, murder and mayhem sound decidedly unscientific. Had UNconventional Grey come out in 2016—just four years before the global CV-19 medical / Big Pharma psyop run by the United Nations (UN), World Economic Forum (WEF), and World Health Organization (WHO)—would people have been awake enough to realize what it meant?UNconventional Grey builds a picture of how Geoengineering—not the “climate change” cover story—leads straight to the UN “sustainable development” / carbons / Agenda 21 / 2030 master plan. In fact, Geoengineering...

The Bible clearly tells us that among God’s people there are wolves that wear sheep’s clothing (Jeremiah 23:14; Titus 1:10; Revelations 2:2). It’s true that every human heart is inclined toward sin (Romans 3:23), and that includes evil (Genesis 8:21; James 1:4). We all miss God’ mark of moral perfection. However, most ordinary sinners do not happily indulge evil urges, nor do we feel good about having them. We feel ashamed and guilty, rightly so (Romans 7:19–21). These things are not true of the evil heart.Below are five indicators that you may be dealing with an evil heart rather than...

Disney is proud to push PRIDE.Pride is the code word for the alphabet people. It used to be reserved for gays and lesbians but now has become the all-purpose umbrella ideology for everything from doggy fetishists to people pretending to be infants. Sex workers have their own symbol on the new pride flag, and every paraphilia imaginable is being celebrated.The argument for gay marriage that finally worked, changing the attitude of the whole country, was that by opening up marriage to gays and lesbians they would become integrated into the larger society and adopt the norms and traditions of heterosexuals....

As LGBT propaganda and sex mania takes over government kindergartens across America, those warning of a “slippery slope” have been proven right yet again with yet another horrific scandal. In fact, after this one, parents are slowly waking up to the fact that their children are not safe in the government’s hands. Critics say government “educators” and the sex-ed fanatics have some serious explaining to do after a 6-year-old girl at a government school in Texas was forced to perform oral sex on a boy in first-grade class. Classmates filmed the monstrous crime on April 19 even as a teacher...

When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice, but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. — Proverbs 29:2. And there’s a whole lot of mourning going on. Here’s a partial list of some recent observations. In 2020, we reelected President Trump in an historic landslide, but in a handful of key states, through several coordinated methods (including foot soldier election fraud and computerized voting machine manipulation), the election was stolen in the dead of election night. Joe Biden was not elected President. It was a criminal coup that put him there. There was NO “attack” on the U.S....

‘Mrs. Greene's statement about leaving the Church is as enlightening as it is saddening,’ commented Michael Hichborn, president of the Lepanto Institute.(LifeSiteNews) – Following criticism of comments she made about the U.S. Catholic bishops, conservative firebrand U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed that she was raised Catholic but left the Church “with great sorrow” when she had kids because she had concerns about the left-wing hierarchy protecting abusive priests. “With great sorrow, and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, I stopped attending Catholic Mass when I became a mother, because I realized that I could not trust the Church’s leadership to...

This is VERY disturbing. Originally created, apparently, to inoculate muslims to 'change' their desire for God (or in their case...god...). What's to say this has not been incorporated into any of these new vaccines? Maybe this is the 'great falling away' called for in God's Word, that will occur in the Last Times?

Imagine a combination of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and you’ve got Kamala Harris, the current seat-warming senator from California who, like Obama, is using the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body as a resume-puncher before swiftly moving on to bigger things: the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination. Even as a nobody senator, she’s been the subject of dozens, perhaps scores of speculative stories about her future, so now — lest they build her up too quickly — Politico and other Democrat cheerleaders are cautioning her to get her ducks in order before heading out on the hustings: Kamala Harris has been called...
