To My Australian Brothers Who Fought In Vietnam...

To those who think that the Vietnam War was exclusively an American war, you are sadly mistaken.  There were more than 5,000 killed-in-action (KIA) allied troops from several countries: Australia, New Zealand, South Korea (I personally knew some of the ROKs), The Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Canada.

In fact, some of the fiercest, and important battles of the Vietnam War were fought by Australian troops.  These battles helped to stave off massive and potentially disastrous attacks on some of the largest air bases in the South, such as the strategic air base, Bien Hoa.

(During the 1968 Tet Offensive, Bien Hoa air base was attacked in the wee hours of the start of the Vietnamese New Year.  The base defenders -- Air Force Security Police -- were outnumbered 5 to 1, but held on to repel the determined enemy forces with the help of Army gunships and choppers loaded with rockets and machine-guns.  Five cops were killed (KIA), and forty-six wounded (WIA).  For their actions, the Security Police were awarded the following: the Air Force Cross, 3 Silver Stars, and 13 Bronze Stars with "V" for valor.  I am proud of my brother cops, and I remember the 111 cops KIA during the Vietnam War.)

Not only did my Australian brothers help to defeat -- yes defeat! -- the overwhelming enemy forces that surrounded their firebases and forward command centers, but also showed the bias, leftist propaganda media back in the U.S. AND Australia.   The war was in the process of being won, as the Communist forces were suffering dramatic defeats throughout the South.  But that's not what the media reported.  The traitors that helped to humiliate the U.S., continue to this day, to undermine our Republic and its duly elected president.

In the end, the U.S. and its allies had to pull out of Vietnam due to political, not military, pressures enhanced by the Communist sympathizers in the U.S. and other countries.

But the memories remain, and I remember and pray for my brothers that were KIA, and those POWs and MIA and their families... We met as strangers, but became, and remain, brothers...

Pray for our country...

Abortion Horrors Buried By The Press...

The following article: Abortion Horrors Buried By The Press, is from cnsnews.com, written by L. Brent Bozell III and Tim Graham.

Article begins...

The grotesque nature of abortion and the industry that profits from it is routinely hidden by the national press beneath a gauzy layer of rhetorical blather about "a woman's right to choose." It's drummed into the public daily: Abortion is a precious civil right and a sacrament of feminism, never a death, let alone a murder.

Look no further than the discovery of more than 2,200 dead unborn babies in the Illinois home of a recently deceased abortion doctor named Ulrich Klopfer.

They told us Dr. Kermit Gosnell was one of a kind for his creepy storage of dead-baby parts in jars. It turns out he was a piker. Klopfer stored each "fetus" in an individual plastic bag full of medical-grade preservative and put it in a box — totaling more than 70 boxes in his garage, from the floor to the ceiling.

The Indiana attorney general reports that records indicate these unborn babies lost their lives between 2000 and 2002, when Dr. Klopfer operated three abortion clinics in Fort Wayne, Gary and South Bend, Indiana. One man told Fox News that his mother, who is Klopfer's neighbor, always wondered what was in all those boxes.

Only Fox News cared about this revolting story. CNN has given it about a minute on air one weekend day, and The New York Times' initial story was put deep inside the paper, on page A-22. But ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NPR and PBS? These same networks that wailed for hours about the inhumanity of illegal migrant "kids in cages" had hardly any interest in something a thousand fold more horrific.

At least USA Today's editorial page editor asked us to evaluate the coverage and noted the lack of interest. The Washington Examiner pestered presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg for days to respond, as the doctor performed his grisly business in the town where Buttigieg serves as mayor.

After Fox News' Tucker Carlson made the same point, Buttigieg put out a statement. "Like everyone, I find that news out of Illinois extremely disturbing, and I think it's important that that be fully investigated," he said. "I also hope that it doesn't get caught up in politics at a time when women need access to health care."

"(E)xtremely disturbing"? That's all? He couldn't even condemn it? It really wasn't that disturbing, was it?

Women's "access to health care." Orwell, call your office. Remind Buttigieg there was a garage full of "women's access." Not even this angle stirred the networks to action.

The same trend could be seen in the 2015 Center for Medical Progress video exposés of Planned Parenthood. The networks could barely be moved. Now the leftist government of California is prosecuting the center's David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt for having secretly recorded footage of this murder-for-hire conglomerate. When the target is Food Lion or General Motors, the networks call it "investigative journalism" and champion "the public's right to know." But when it's the abortion industry, especially Planned Parenthood?

Then-Attorney General Kamala Harris called the recordings a crime and had the California Department of Justice seize their tapes and other evidence. Attorney General Xavier Becerra is prosecuting Daleiden and Merritt, and after Daleiden was scheduled to appear on Carlson's program, he sought a gag order to restrict what Daleiden is allowed to say about his case in public.

Where are the crusading Brian Stelters and their lectures about the First Amendment?

Newsworthy developments are spilling out of this trial. National Review noted that in a preliminary hearing, California obstetrician-gynecologist and "longtime abortionist" Forrest Smith told the court that the Planned Parenthood executives in the footage "likely illegally altered abortion procedures, causing babies to be born alive and putting the mothers in danger of complications in their quest for more intact fetal body parts."

The "news" networks couldn't care less. They're currently stoking a national panic about teenagers caught up in a "vaping epidemic" or championing children who profess they are doomed to die in the next 12 years due to global warming.

My Comment: The revelations of a complicit media is nothing new, it just reaffirms the heinous agenda of the God-hating left.  The sanctity of life is reduced to that of a cat or a dog, or maybe a chicken.  But even cats, dogs or chickens are protected from mistreatment under penalty of fines or even jail time.  Pre-born kids?  Nope, sorry, no fines or jail time.  The culture of death is so firmly entrenched that even the pope sheds crocodile tears for a melting iceberg and "climate change", yet appoints pro-death and population control nuts to his committees and panels that deal with family and sexuality issues??  He's sick.  God help us!

Pray for our country...

To My Protestant Friends...

I have Protestant friends, and I love them...

I am a Catholic... And being a Catholic, I know what the Bible reveals to us: not everyone that says Lord, Lord, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of My Father.  And since Christ, our Lord, is one with the Father, Christ's commands to His Apostles echoes the commands of His Father.  If we believe that, and we have to, then His command to preach, convert, and Baptize all peoples of all nations must be adhered to, not only for those peoples, but for ourselves.  For if we do not believe, or deny this teaching, or any other article of faith, then we put ourselves outside of the Kingdom of Heaven -- after we leave this life -- even if we exclaim, at our judgment: Lord, Lord, etc...  And to hear those startling, yet just words: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity, will be terror to the souls of those who thought they were doing the will of the Lord...
Enter, Martin Luther, a former Catholic priest who decided to "protest" the "corrupt" Catholic Church of the early 16th Century...

Was there really corruption in the Church at that time (as there is now!)?  The answer is yes, but the mistake that Luther and others made, and still make today, is that they do not separate the corrupt human elements of the Church, from the Church herself: the spotless Bride of Christ.  The perfect Christ, could never be the Head of a corrupt Body!

This became known as the Protestant Reformation, but in reality, it was a Revolt, not only against the Church, but also against Christ, as the Church was -- and still is -- the Mystical Body of Christ; Christ and the Church are one and inseparable.

Luther's new doctrine spread like wildfire throughout a good portion of northern Europe, including England.  But when it hit the shores of Our Lady's Dowry (England), something unexpected happened: it ran into a buzzsaw by the name of King Henry VIII.

Luther attacked the sacrificial nature of the Mass, including the Eucharist; the real presence; as well as the other sacraments...

Good King Henry decided to put old Luther in his place, and composed a brilliant work: In Defense of the Seven Sacraments (of the Catholic Church)!

Most Protestants believe in only two of the seven: Baptism and Matrimony, but King Henry knew that there were seven.  His work was, and still is, very Catholic.

(We all know that Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church because the Pope would not grant the King an annulment form his lawful wife in order to marry another, and hence, formed the Church of England, with Henry as its head.)

But it might be very informative for my Protestant friends to read the King's defense and a critique of his writings; see here: The Defense of the Seven Sacraments; here:  “witness to Catholic Tradition.” and here: “Defense of the Seven Sacraments,” by English King Henry VIII.

I would urge my dear Protestant friends to read these articles for the good of those sincere in seeking and finding the truth, and for the ultimate salvation of souls... 

Pray for our country...

The Climate Change Gang And Child Abuse, Are They Related?

Yes, they are.

It is called brainwashing of the young, similar to those disgraceful -- and nutty -- parents who take their young charges to various libraries to see and hear those demonic drag queens reading to children unable to discern what is really going on.  In other words, the parents have turned over the job of properly educating and raising their children to the weird and bizarre elements of society that have turned their souls over to the demon.

When the day of judgment comes, what a price they will pay if they don't turn their lives around...

The same can be said of those parents who are sacrificing their children to the climate-change god.  And isn't that what it is: a god, and a new religion?   A god that is quickly replacing their Creator with false and deadly worship of the earth, while rejecting the very same God that made them.

Recently, there has been a stooge -- a nine-year-old-child-stooge (Greta Thunberg) -- that the media is lauding, and using, as a "hero" of the climate change gang, even testifying before gullible and complicit congressional representatives.

I contend that bringing your children before the so-called and filthy drag queens, as well as subjecting them to the climate-change hysteria, is nothing short of child abuse, an abuse that should put those parents in jail for neglect, at the very least, for their culpable stupidity.

We are already beginning to see the results of this abuse: some of these kiddies have said that they will not have children of their own until they see dramatic measures taken to reverse "climate change".   Think about that: they will not have any children, until what age??  Maybe never??

Unwittingly, they are falling prey to the population control madmen and their diabolical agenda.

Nice going Greta; just another useful idiot of the anti-Christ mob...

The Upside-Down, Bizarre World Of The New Order "Catholic" Church...

As I write this short article, it seems -- to me at least -- that the New Order "Catholic" Church has gone over the edge of the cliff, taking with it numerous souls into the fiery pit of hell itself.

During the 16th Century, the Protestant Revolt -- NOT "reformation" -- Luther and his ilk nearly tore apart the real Catholic Church and took with it millions of immortal souls down into the everlasting fire, to be separated from God forever.

But that revolt against Christ -- and make no mistake, it wasn't a protest or revolt against the Church, it was, in fact, a revolt against Christ's mystical body, which IS Christ -- pales in comparison to the widespread apostasy of faith and morals that has led to disbelief in the Real Presence in the Eucharist, for one, and the denial of the necessity of being Catholic in order to be saved, for another.

(When Saul was struck down off his donkey on the road to Damascus, the Voice from heaven exclaimed: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?  But Saul never knew or saw Our Lord, yet the Lord says to Saul, why are you persecuting Me?  In other words, those words prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the early converts to Christianity were Christ's mystical body, because they were in Christ, and Christ was in them.   After that momentous event, Saul's eyes were opened, and then he became the great Apostle to the Gentiles: St. Paul.)

The Mystical Body of Christ is being shredded right before our eyes, but there is, or should I say there are remnants of the Elect that will survive this era of confusion, schism, and apostacy, scattered throughout the world, waiting for the arm of divine judgment that will put an end to the murderers of the one, true faith.  

What we are currently witnessing, is much worse than that failed experiment of Protestantism, or even the Arian heresy of the 4th- and 5th-Centuries...

As an example, here are just a few headlines regarding some of the weird news flowing out of the new order "Catholic" Church:  Malta Church school awarded teaching position to man who calls himself a woman; Vatican whistleblower Viganò: Pope Francis is the one ‘provoking’ schism; Two cardinals close to Francis accused of covering up sex abuse of pope’s altar boys; Notre Dame students demand co-ed dorm rooms to fight ‘heteronormativity...

Of course, those are only tiny samples of the lunacy of confusion and obfuscation of God-given common sense and responsibility, not to mention "priests" such as the pro-homosexual and LGBT nutcase, "Father" James Martin.  Or how about "Cardinals" Dolan of New York, or Cupich of Chicago, or Tobin of Newark, NJ... the list is almost endless.  Remember, that these "clerics" are not only the purveyors of filth and homosexuality, but also guilty of corrupting the faith and morals of their charges.  I can only imagine the price these traitors to Christ will have to pay at their Particular Judgment, that is, if they don't publicly repent of their heinous sins against Christ and humanity...

As President Truman once quipped: the buck stops here... Meaning, that he took responsibility for the actions of his subordinates in his administration.  The current "pope," Francis, is directly responsible for the rampant and continuing disaster of the homosexual mafia that has fully infiltrated the Bride of Christ, as well as for the loss of faith of those Catholics struggling for a sense of direction and hope.  Catholics by the millions have left Holy Mother Church to go, where??

But!  There is always hope!  Our Lord tells us in the Bible, that the gates of hell will not prevail against it (His Church).  That guarantee is gold in the bank!  Do not despair, but pray for divine intervention, and pray for our country...

Can We Trust Our Intelligence Agencies??

The question begs to be repeated: Can We Trust Our Intelligence Agencies??

Well, unless you and I have been on some other planet lately, and have not been following the disgraceful attempt at the overthrow of a duly elected president -- a "soft" coup -- the answer, I'm afraid, is a resounding NO!

First: what is the meaning of the word: intelligence?

One meaning: the collection of information of military or political value.

In other words, spying.

I have one question for the heads of all our "intelligence" agencies: why have you spied on American citizens?   I ask such a naïve question because I always thought that spying was reserved for non-American citizens attempting to do harm to our country.

As it turns out, everyday Americans as well as those in positions of power and great responsibility, such as the president, are being spied upon for -- what, exactly?

Here is an excerpt from the Truman Library regarding the establishment of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)...

The CIA evokes images of clandestine activity, spies hiding in corners and covert overthrow of unfriendly government regimes. However, when Truman established the organization in 1947, he envisioned something much different -- a sort of daily newspaper, informing him of developments around the world that could impact American policy. Yet even during Truman’s own presidency, the CIA did evolve to become much more than a news agency for the President as covert operations began in earnest early in the agency’s history.

On American citizens as well??

I have read that President Truman eventually regretted the establishment of that spy agency.  How true that is, I don't know, but we see the results today: an-out-of-control, rogue agency that uses its enormous -- and unknown budget -- for the gathering of information on Americans that are attempting to resist the abuses of its government.  A government that is supposed to safe-guard the rights of its citizens, not restrict or transgress on those rights established under the Natural Law; those rights given to us by God, Himself.

But it isn't only the CIA that spies or gathers information on American citizens for no good reason, but also the many other departments and agencies that have been formed over the years, especially the NSA, the Dept. of Homeland Security, the FBI, ATF, and many others.

Not only are Americans now subject to the whims of unhinged, anti-natural rights activists in those agencies, but also to a judicial system that, for whatever reason, infringes on those very same rights.

Why?  And who are these people appointed for life, causing great damage to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness as stated so eloquently in the Declaration of Independence.

I would strongly suggest that these miscreants read that great document, especially the following:

...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute DESPOTISM, it is their right, it is their DUTY to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security...

This is one great reason to fight for our Second Amendment, without which, all the other Amendments are meaningless...

Pray for the end of these un-American agencies, and pray for our country...

The False Compassion Of The Liberals And Mass Shootings: Are They Related?

Blue State Blues: Democrats Back Policy That Helped Lead to Parkland Shooting

(The following article is from Breitbart's Joel Pollak)...

Several Democrats running for their party’s nomination in 2020 are backing a policy of easing school discipline, arguing that they want to stop a “school-to-prison pipeline” that hurts minority students.

But according to Andrew Pollack (no relation), whose daughter, Meadow, was among the victims in the Parkland school shooting last February, those policies allow potentially dangerous people to keep a clean record, letting them pass firearm background checks.

That was the case with the gunman at the Marjorie Stonemason Douglas High School.

As Pollack explains in his new book, Why Meadow Died: The People and Policies that Created the Parkland Shooter and Endanger America’s Students, the gunman had a record of erratic, disruptive, and violent behavior, and yet was not isolated from other students, nor was he arrested despite dozens of police visits, or committed to a mental health facility.

At one point, the gunman was put in a program called “Preventing Recidivism through Opportunities, Mentoring, Interventions, Support and Education” (PROMISE). The program, promoted by President Barack Obama, protected students who committed crimes at school from being reported to police. “Even felonies as severe as drug dealing, sexual assault and bringing weapons to school could lawfully be kept from the police,” the Wall Street Journal noted.

When the gunman-to-be did not show up for the PROMISE program after being caught vandalizing a middle school bathroom, there were no consequences. And as Max Eden, a Manhattan Institute fellow who co-authored Pollack’s book, said last year, the gunman undoubtedly committed other crimes for which no action was taken by the school: “[L]et me assure you, he committed crimes that school administrators knew about but did not record,” Eden said.

Democrats claim that gun control is necessary to prevent mass shootings, in schools and elsewhere. But as debate over proposed new “expanded background checks” continues, no one is examining the effect of “politically correct” school policies like PROMISE.

The two are connected: if a potentially dangerous person has never been arrested, convicted, or committed to a mental facility, there will be no red flags in the record for a background check to find.

Amazingly, several Democratic candidates are campaigning on pledges to restore programs like PROMISE, despite the demonstrated risks.

Former vice president Joe Biden’s criminal justice reform policy, which he is promoting enthusiastically to minority voters as penance for his tough-on-crime past, pledges to “[e]nd the school-to-prison pipeline” by “restor[ing] the Obama-Biden Administration guidance to help schools address the high number of suspensions and expulsions that affect students of color at a higher rate than white students.”

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) echoed those sentiments in the third presidential debate, claiming that “in Texas, a 5-year-old child in kindergarten is five times as likely to be disciplined or suspended or expelled based on the color of their skin.”

The implication is that the public school teachers — who may be minorities themselves — are racists.

In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law last week that actually prevents school from suspending “defiant” children up through eighth grade. Democrats say the law will help “children of color.” More likely, it will prevent timely intervention to help them change their behavior.

For all their talk about ending gun violence, Democrats are undermining an early warning system on which background checks rely, making another Parkland more likely.
