Check out that headline. Not 1936, not 1957, not 1964. Welcome to 2020, where the irony is completely lost on the agitators.
Vernon Jones is a Democrat state representative in Georgia. In April, he announced he was endorsing Trump. He was invited to speak at the RNC, which he did last Monday. On Thursday, after the convention concluded (with what was probably the most widely witnessed Ave Maria in the history of the world), Jones was walking back to his hotel, when this happened:

Here is a different angle that shows the concluding confrontation at the hotel lobby:
In total, six minutes worth of video that should be enough to convince anyone that this is not going to end well. This is not about skin color, “equality,” or anything like that. It’s about wrongthink. They want you dead.
Pray and prep. Spiritual readiness, material readiness. Get moving.
Topics covered: Evolution of CDC as warmonger of “public health,” Big Pharma as quasi-governmental strike force, suspension of rule of law re vax liability and testing, real-time psychological warfare strategies rooted in Nazi Germany, weaponized fear as the primary vector of tyranny, fearful sheep not only as willing participants but as invading hoard of active combatants (esp. where children are concerned), Gates of Hell, Big Data spying techniques and technology, your phone (and so, Big Data) sees and hears everything you see and hear, Alexa/Siri, tracking/tracing/GPS, enforcement of digitized monetary system, seizing of accounts/assets/real property for non-compliance…
So yeah, it’s totally worth 18 minutes. By the way, if your long guns are exclusively chambered in 5.56, have you looked around for ammo lately? If you can find any in-stock, how do you like those prices? You might want to consider adding some 7.62/.308 options.
INTROIT Ps. 118:46-47 I spoke of Your testimonies before kings, and I was not ashamed; I meditated on Your commandments, which I loved dearly. Ps. 91:2. It is good to praise the Lord, and to sing to Your name, O Most High!
St. John the Baptist is quite a model for us. The Forerunner of Christ has two feasts, the primary being his nativity (24 June), and that of his beheading (today). At his nativity, or rather at the Visitation, God granted John the grace of gestational Baptism, so that he was born without the stain of original sin. At his beheading, John reciprocated this gift with his sacrificial witness to Truth. The reason for his beheading was his intransigence on the commandments, which he loved dearly, because he loved our Lord.
The subject matter in this case was the sanctity of marriage.
“And it hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.” Matt 5:31-32
“And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said: For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.” Matt 19:3-9
“And the Pharisees coming to him asked him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you? Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away. To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you that precept. But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife. And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing. And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.” Mark 10:2-12
“The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall. Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.” Luke 16:16-18
At that time, Herod himself had sentand apprehended John, and bound him prison for the sake of Herodias thewife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. For John saidto Herod: “It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.” NowHerodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death andcould not. For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man:and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard himwillingly. And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper forhis birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee. And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: “Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.” And he swore to her: “Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.” Who when she was gone out,said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” But her mother said: “The headof John the Baptist.” And when she was come in immediately with hasteto the king, she asked, saying: “I will that forthwith thou give me in adish, the head of John the Baptist.” And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: But sending an executioner, he commandedthat his head should be brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in theprison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave to the damsel, and thedamsel gave it her mother. Which his disciples hearing came, and tookhis body, and laid it in a tomb. Mark 6:17-29
This episode began as maybe being a kind of “infomercial” for Dr. Mazza’s upcoming online courses, and turned into – no joke – one of our best Podcasts ever. A rip-roaring conversation, all rooted in St. Au-GUS-tine, not Saint Augus-TINE. The truth ain’t no city in Flahrda, y’all. Don’t miss this one.

I’m not naive about the things that will befall us in the next two months, nor should you be. You also need to be preparing for the Hell that awaits in Nov-Dec, as the election remains contested for months and chaos reigns. The situation is a runaway train, destination 1789.
But whatever else may happen, this happened last night, and I’m entering it into the record:
The only quibble is her assertion that the Blessed Virgin Mary was an “unwed mother.” Nope. But this really is worth four minutes of your time.

Good evening. I am Sister Dede Byrne, and I belong to the Community of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Last Fourth of July, I was honored to be one of the president’s guests at his Salute to America celebration. I must confess that I recently prayed while in chapel, begging God to allow me to be a voice, an instrument for human life. And now here I am, speaking at the Republican National Convention. I guess you’d better be careful what you pray for.
My journey to religious life was not a traditional route, if there is such a thing. In 1978, as a medical school student at Georgetown University, I joined the Army to help pay for my tuition, and ended up devoting 29 years to the military, serving as a doctor and a surgeon in places like Afghanistan and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. After much prayer and contemplation, I entered my religious order in 2002, working to serve the poor and the sick in Haiti, Sudan, Kenya, Iraq and in Washington, D.C.
Humility is at the foundation of our order, which makes it very difficult to talk about myself. But I can speak about my experience working for those fleeing war-torn and impoverished countries all around the world. Those refugees all share a common experience. They have all been marginalized, viewed as insignificant, powerless and voiceless.
And while we tend to think of the marginalized as living beyond our borders, the truth is the largest marginalized group in the world can be found here in the United States. They are the unborn.
As Christians, we first met Jesus as a stirring embryo in the womb of an unwed mother and saw him born nine months later in the poverty of the cave. It is no coincidence that Jesus stood up for what was just and was ultimately crucified because what he said was not politically correct or fashionable. As followers of Christ, we are called to stand up for life against the politically correct or fashionable of today.
We must fight against a legislative agenda that supports and even celebrates destroying life in the womb. Keep in mind, the laws we create define how we see our humanity. We must ask ourselves: What we are saying when we go into a womb and snuff out an innocent, powerless, voiceless life?
As a physician, I can say without hesitation: Life begins at conception. While what I have to say may be difficult for some to hear, I am saying it because I am not just pro-life, I am pro-eternal life. I want all of us to end up in heaven together someday.
Which brings me to why I am here today. Donald Trump is the most pro-life president this nation has ever had, defending life at all stages. His belief in the sanctity of life transcends politics. President Trump will stand up against Biden/Harris, who are the most anti-life presidential ticket ever, even supporting the horrors of late-term abortion and infanticide. Because of his courage and conviction, President Trump has earned the support of America’s pro-life community. Moreover, he has a nationwide of religious standing behind him. You’ll find us here with our weapon of choice, the rosary. Thank you, Mr. President, we are all praying for you.
Hurricane Laura has exploded in the last twelve hours, now a Cat 4 with 145 MPH sustained winds and increasing. Cat 5 is 157 MPH. This was unexpected, and they aren’t ready. It was forecast to come ashore Cat 2.

The sweetest people you have ever met, even though you can barely understand them. Most speak some kind of AngloFrancoCajunish, but you will love them anyway. A proud people, in a good way.
Our intrepid reporter Nicole Grigg better be careful; she is about to unwoke herself in a big way. After months of fanning the fear p*rn throughout Arizona, she’s now accidentally uncovered two super inconvenient facts, and she’s reporting on them without seeming to understand how it destroys her narrative.
First, as I wrote last week, everyone who dies in Arizona within 60 days of testing positive gets counted as dying from Covid. This is true even if Covid doesn’t even appear on the death certificate. Shocked by this, Nicole asked the Maricopa County health department to confirm the process:
“I want to reassure everyone that every single person who has COVID-19 listed anywhere on their death certificate is in fact counted,” said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine with Maricopa County Public Health Department.
“Even if it’s not listed on their death certificate, anyone who has a COVID-19 positive test within a certain period of when they died, is also counted as a COVID-19 positive death,” she said. Maricopa County officials tell ABC15 that anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 in 60 days and dies is counted as a COVID-19 death.
Incredulous, Nicole then asked a very specific question:
ABC15 asked Maricopa County health officials about a hypothetical question — if a person dies in a car crash, and tested positive for COVID-19 within the 60 days, would they be counted as a COVID-19 death?
The response: “Yes, the death would be added to the total because for Public Health, it is important to understand who died WITH the disease even if the disease was not the CAUSE of death…
Elsewhere in the article (link below), Nicole highlights the total “excess deaths” in AZ, which are far above the “Covid deaths,” even with the actual Covid deaths being greatly inflated:
A new report by the Arizona Public Health Association suggests there are thousands of unaccounted deaths in Arizona. The report looks at the mortality trends in 2020 over a 10-year period per 100,000 populations. The report states, “Arizona has recorded more than 7,100 more deaths in the first seven months of 2020 when compared to 2019. According to data from the Arizona Department of Health Services data dashboard, about 4,100 of these deaths have been as a direct result of a SARS CoV2 infection. This suggests that an additional 3,000 deaths during this period may be indirectly attributable to the pandemic.”
This is the second inconvenient truth. Thousands of people are dying from fear p*rn. Missed medical treatments, lack of fresh air, exploding obesity (gyms closed), alcoholism, loneliness, drug overdoses, and suicides. The total excess death count is the ONLY reliable statistic of what is really going on, because it’s the only number that can’t be fudged.
