$1.4 TRILLION Dollar Budget STILL Funds "Planned Parenthood"!!!

This from Breitbart News; by Dr. Susan Berry...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted the $1.4 trillion spending bill that passed the House and Senate this week and was signed into law by President Donald Trump on Friday.

The 2,313-page piece of legislation spends $1.4 trillion and will fund the government until September 30, 2020, through most of what is anticipated to be a combative election season.

The spending bill the Senate is voting on tomorrow is lobbyist boondoggle that belongs in an

The senator said the spending deal benefits the “lobbyists who are bankrupting this country,” and told CBS 11 it represents “lobbyists’ Christmas present.”

“While you were with your family, shopping for Christmas, the lobbyists were spending and spending,” Cruz said in his video message.

“Nobody’s read it,” Cruz said as he puffed on a cigar. “There isn’t a person alive who has read this piece of garbage.”

Cruz called out some of the items in the bill that were included without debate and a separate vote. He noted, for example, the spending deal “extends the Export-Import Bank for seven years.”

The bank, which provides loans to promote the foreign purchases of U.S. goods, is “one of the greatest corporate boondoggles – corporate welfare,” the senator asserted.

The massive spending bill also raises the tobacco purchasing age to 21.

Cruz ridiculed this provision, citing that soldiers can be drafted at age 18, but “God help you if you want to have a smoke.”

The senator pointed out the spending bill also “funds government research on gun control.”

ashtray.

The senator pointed out the spending bill also “funds government research on gun control.”

“Can’t you wait for the report from the Centers for Disease Control … bogus studies that are going to be used to take away your constitutional rights,” Cruz stated.

The senator added that the spending bill:

– continues tax breaks for “so-called” renewable energy

– fails to stop sanctuary cities

– fails to defund Planned Parenthood and fails to end Obamacare

While a pro-abortion rights amendment proposed by New Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen – one that would have undermined Trump’s pro-life policies overseas – was not included in the final spending package, America’s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood, remains funded by taxpayers.

Pro-life organization Live Action observed that, since the spending deal fails to end Obamacare, its sex education program, known as PREP, will still receive $75 million, and $3 million of the PREP funding will go to Planned Parenthood.

Live Action added:

Additionally, Planned Parenthood will continue to receive millions more through [Medicaid] reimbursements and discretionary funds. In their 2017 Annual Report, Planned Parenthood indicated that 34% of their revenue came from “Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants.”

Congressional spending packages for FY2020 don’t include any provisions to further curb the millions of taxpayer dollars going to America’s abortion giant.

“This pile of trash belongs in an ashtray,” Cruz said in his video message.

On Thursday, the senator released a statement after voting against the bill.

“With a $23 trillion national debt, this 2,313-page spending package that Congressional leaders unveiled just days ago represents everything Americans hate about Washington,” Cruz said, adding:

Though there are several good provisions included in the final bills that I was proud to fight for, including a well-deserved pay raise for our men and women in uniform and additional support for our Armed Forces and veterans, this $1.4 trillion spending monstrosity plunges our nation even further into debt – haphazardly spending taxpayer dollars on the priorities of lobbyists and Democrats at the expense of the priorities of the American people, from funding Planned Parenthood, sanctuary cities, and Obamacare, to raising the tobacco purchasing age to 21.

“This ridiculous, rushed, end-of-year spending process, year after year, is an example of government of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists, and for the lobbyists,” he said.

My Comment:

Even with President Trump at the helm of the "ship of state," there is still much work to be done to defund the baby killers at Murder, Inc., a.k.a.: "planned parenthood"...  

Pray for our country, and pray for end of the "legal" murder of pre-born babies...

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us...

Is Pope Francis The Titular Head Of The New World Order?

Who would ever think that such a question might be asked?

Yet, it seems the answer is abundantly clear: yes, Francis is the titular head of the New World Order.

Titular, because he is only one of many puppets, useful idiots, being manipulated with strings of the real leaders and founders of the abomination envisioned by the United Nations and their minions, which include multi-billionaire elites.

The names are legion, e.g., Gates, Buffet, Musk, et al...

They pour their money and influence into such organizations hell-bent on homogenizing all the peoples of the earth into one, big socialist utopia, with "big brother" in complete charge of our lives.   But it doesn't stop there... Uncountable monies are used to elect other useful idiots to local and state offices in attempt to negate the losses of federal offices -- including the presidency!

Right now, with Mr. Trump in office, their efforts have been temporarily put on hold, but make no mistake, the moles and traitors are still burrowing deeply into the various cabinet offices as well as those entrusted to defend our country, i.e., the Pentagon, and the associated military industrial complex that President Eisenhower admonished and warned us about.

If only it ended there, but it doesn't!

One only has to look at the so-called "intelligence" agencies and their admitted plot to destroy President Trump and remove him from office at all costs.  If that were to happen, the first "Civil War," in comparison, would look like a child's sandbox with toy soldiers.  In other words, it will get very, very ugly and downright bloody.

The Pelosi, Biden, Obama types are some of those useful idiots because they think they will be part of any successful overthrow of our duly elected officials and our traditional American institutions, but in reality, they will be the first to be lined up at the guillotine, just as happened in the deadly French Revolution...

Sadly -- very sadly -- the leader of the over one-billion (1,000,000,000) Catholics, Pope Francis, is one of those useful idiots playing right into the hands of the globalists, if he is not one of them himself.  Yet recent events and statements seem to prove that he is intimately involved in the anti-Christ movement to transform, not only traditional cultures of sovereign nations, but also -- and especially -- the Deposit of Faith (Scripture and Tradition), and the authentic Magisterium of Holy Mother Church...

His attacks on Tradition and the dogmas and doctrines, always and everywhere believed and taught, make him an enemy of the faithful attempting to live out their lives in Christ.  Most terrifying, is his denial of the divinity of Christ, as well as His Resurrection!  So far, these reports have not been denied.  Crazy!

These diabolical plans implemented so far have been unbelievably successful, which would indicate to me that Satan -- the Father of Lies -- is the ultimate force behind their efforts.  It has become painfully apparent that those working for the demon have turned over their immortal souls for power and influence in this life, regardless of the consequences they will face in the next.  But the piper must and will be paid some day!!

What to do?

Never stop praying for Justice, and for the rights granted us by God (not by government); stay strong by receiving, worthily, the Holy Eucharist (the Bread of Heaven) without which, one cannot have life in their souls (St. John, Chapter Six)…  And beg St. Michael the Archangel to defend us in the present and future battles..

Viva Cristo Rey!   Fr. Miguel Pro, please pray for us!

Here's Some "Hate Speech": MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Has it really come to that in our country: to say "Merry Christmas" in the public sphere is "hate speech"?  Maybe, but this writer will always say Merry Christmas, and I don't care who, what, when, where, or why it might offend!

As a recent example, Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch was interviewed on a Fox news program, and committed the "crime" of saying "Merry Christmas"...

As expected, the radical Christ haters went ballistic!

Imagine, saying or writing Merry Christmas has now become verboten... How sad, but not surprising...

As I have written previously, the reason for the season is to acknowledge the coming into the world of our Savior.  He didn't have to do this, but He did out of sheer love of His created creatures.

The reason?

To rescue all mankind -- and yes, feminists, that includes you! -- from the gate closing; soul killing, Original Sin, that has infected all humans that have come, and continue to come, into the world.

As we know, we are told in Scripture and Tradition (that's Tradition with a capital "T"), that the little Baby was born 2,000 years ago in the cold of winter, to parents specifically chosen by God from all eternity, to deliver our souls from the grip of the demon, Satan.

Sure, I realize that not all mankind takes advantage of His sacrifice on the Cross, but those who do -- and suffer for it -- will reap the rewards of being with the Holy Trinity, and see for themselves; LOVE incarnate in His glorified Body!

But why wouldn't all mankind take advantage of the graces so generously provided at such an incredible cost?  The short answer is that, not only do we have a weakened human nature, the very reason for the Cross in the first place, but also because many don't want to change, as sin and evil are very powerful tools used by the devil to lure people away -- and keep them away! -- from the Lord...

So, what can we do to fight off the whiles of the evil spirits roaming about the world ready to devour and ruin any immortal soul not girded for battle?   Put on the armor of God; the breastplate of grace -- as no one will be tempted above his ability to resist with the help of that very same grace (St. Paul)...

For Catholics, never give up!   Never think that the Church has become corrupt!  It can never happen!  For Christ the Perfect Head, could never be connected to a corrupt Body!  Realize that it is the human element of the clergy and laity that are corrupt!   And pray for strength to fight within the Church!  If a Catholic leaves the Church, that plays right into the hands of Satan, and he's won!

For a non-Catholic, come into the Church of Christ -- the Catholic Church; be baptized, so you can receive the Holy Eucharist, without which, you will not have life in you (St. John, Chap. Six)...

And for all: pray, not only for your souls and the souls of your family, but also for our country!!

Viva Cristo Rey!!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us!!

What Forces Propel Abortionists And Their Supporters?

This is NOT the $64,000 question!

In fact, one doesn't even have to look below the surface; the superficial, to see the answers to this "dilemma".

But what would make my question even more bizarre and downright scary, is that the answers are that many, if not most, "Catholic" politicians are in favor of, and even support those who take the lives of innocent, pre-born babies.

How can this be?

I contend that those "Catholic" pols -- and much of the lay "faithful" as well -- have lost their precious faith, that is, if they ever had it to nurture in the first place.  This can be seen in what is going on in the new-order church since Vatican II up to the present...

Without the faith, it is impossible to please God (St. Paul)...

And so, if one is devoid of the faith (good), then evil can very easily fill that void.  In the case of our elected representatives, that evil comes in many forms, such as money; false compassion; "tolerance"; malice and hate.

It is their contention that if we do nothing to reduce the population, then the planet is doomed, so money continues to pour in from wealthy elites to stifle and even reverse the command from God almighty to multiply and subdue the earth, through the evils of abortion and other means of population control.

Sadly, one of those organizations: Murder, Inc., a.k.a.; "planned parenthood", has received -- and continues to receive -- federal monies to the tune of half-a-billion dollars each year ($500,000,000) of our taxes, even though Mr. Trump has attempted to cut just a smidgeon: $60,000,000, from getting into the hands of the baby killers.  And even that was challenged, and might have been restored by an amendment to a spending bill...

If that is the case, and it is, then where are the pro-life leaders, especially those of the clergy?  Sure, we hear of books, articles, speeches, rallies, marches and the like, highlighting the horrors of killing pre-born babies, but where were those church leaders and others back in 1973 when the "supreme court" sealed the fate of the pre-born in the Roe v Wade decision??

What if they -- and us -- stood up, face-to-face with the devil himself, Satan, and marched down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capital, and demanded that deadly decision be nullified or reversed, refuse to leave, be arrested and go on a hunger strike (remember those?).  How long do you think that "law of the land" would have lasted??

It has become obvious that those who support the abortionists, have given themselves over to the demon for power and position in this life, with little thought to where they will spend eternity in the next.   I think the reason for that is that they don't believe in the afterlife, and judgment for our deeds, good or evil.

We are currently living in a period of massive social and religious upheaval involving, not only terminating pregnancies through abortion, but also the consequences of the cheapening of life in general, with pornography, homosexuality, infanticide, "transgenderism", and the like.  And part of that cheapening is the brainwashing of our youth in the public school system through a distorted view of American history, as well as the filth that is labeled: sex education, and in conjunction with that, the lessening of parental rights!

Now that we have some of the answers to some of the questions, what is the solution to those answers?

As I have written many times: Christ or Chaos!

Pray for our country...

"Drag Queen" Performance Attacks Christmas (In Kansas City, MO)...

It has become painfully apparent that such abominations are not isolated incidents.  For far too long, this bizarre and demonic phenomenon has been seen and reported all across the country, and is just another example of the degenerate state of our morality here in the U.S. of A.

But what is truly horrific, is that "parents" willfully and gladly bring their children to these circuses of filth knowing, for the most part, what their kids will see and hear.   It is not pretty!!

We know that the minds of little children are just like a sponge: they absorb everything they see, hear and experience.  Such is a normal way they learn and grow.  But to learn and grow with such works of the demon will do nothing to strengthen them against the trials and tribulations they will face as adults.  Just the opposite is true... Their "immune system," if you will, will become weaker, and less able to withstand the world, the flesh and the devil.

And now, there is a "Drag Queen" Christmas performance scheduled at the Folly Theater in Kansas City, MO!   This "theater" is located at 300 West 12th Street, and a peaceful demonstration will include the recitation of the holy Rosary... If you can't make it there, please pray a special Rosary to end these horrible attacks against Christmas.  In other words, against Christ and His most Blessed Mother, as well as St. Joseph.

(As an aside, St. Joseph is often left out of the equation of salvation history, but in reality, he was specifically chosen by God to be the foster father of His only begotten Son, our Lord.  His duties as a father were the same as the fathers of today: to provide for, protect, defend his family, and teach his offspring.  It is said that Jesus grew in wisdom and grace -- in His human nature, that is -- and was subject to them (His mother and father.))

The flyer for this blasphemous promotion indicates that "all ages welcome," even though it warns of "adult" behavior...

In a sense, why should anyone be surprised at these damned antics?   If we are "legally" able to kill our pre-born babies, then the sanctity of life is reduced to that of a chicken or a dog.  And believe it or not, if one mistreats such animals, there are penalties of fines or jailtime, and rightly so.  But what about that tiny developing girl in her mother's womb?   The "supreme court" has ruled that the baby, for all practical purposes, has no say in the matter, and has signed her death warrant with no appeal process allowed.  There is hope, however, that this barbaric slaughter is on the wane, and the pendulum is beginning to swing in the direction of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, with President Trump now being the most pro-life president in American history!

But much more has to be done to end this ongoing child sacrifice...

And one of those things, is to get the rocks out of the heads of those "parents" that take their children to public libraries to see these sick "men" and "women" perform in the most lewd and scandalous of fashions.  I can't even imagine what a terrible price they will pay if they continue to subject their charges to exhibitions that can very easily warp their minds and jeopardize their immortal souls!

Pray for our country!!  And pray, too, for parents that they may become God-fearing; without that justifiable fear, they can, and most likely, will lose their souls.

Fifty-Two Years Ago, I Went To Vietnam.

December 16, 2019, marks a special anniversary for me: Fifty-Two-Years Ago, I Went To Vietnam.

I'm amazed that over half-a-century has passed since I arrived in-country just before Christmas of 1967.

As each year comes and goes, there are fewer and fewer Vietnam veterans still alive.  Some have succumbed to age related diseases, and some to Agent Orange, and its debilitating consequences.  Some have taken their own lives.  Some sank deeply into a bottle of whiskey and ended up as an alcoholic.  I came pretty close to that myself.

For ten years, I tried to forget and bury my frustrations and depressions with booze...  Not good.  I can assure everyone that booze doesn't console a lost soul, and I was a lost soul.  My faith was out the window, plain and simple.

We also hear a lot these days of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known by the acronym: PTSD...

When I came home, there wasn't much talk about that; it was something "new".  In World War I, it was called shell-shock; in World War II, it might have been called cowardice (remember the scene in  the movie "Patton," where the general visits a field hospital, and slaps a PFC across the face, classifying him as a coward?).  In succeeding wars, it has become more widely known, and there is a great deal of treatment available for the troops that have suffered from their hellacious experiences...

At the time, I didn't think much about any treatment that might have been available, so I suffered.

But for the grace of God...

I now know that people were praying and never gave up on me.  The rest, as they say, is history.  Today, my wife and I drove through a minor snowstorm to get to a beautiful Traditional Latin Mass in Kansas City, Missouri...

We have a wonderful son (who served honorably in the Marines); we will soon be grandparents once again, and I'm retired so I can write these silly little articles...

We do, however, miss our special friends back East, especially those at the St. Benedict Center in Richmond, New Hampshire, but they are always close to us in spirit: good and decent Catholics are always brothers and sisters no matter what distance separates them...

So, on this Monday, December 16, 2019, I remember those brothers in uniform that didn't make it back, and whose names are now on the Wall in Washington, D.C....

Please pray for our country, and all Vietnam Veterans...

Once You Drop Off Your Kids At School, Do Your Parental Rights End?

That is a very fundamental question.  Here are two links that state both sides.  It should be noted that the Supreme Court has traditionally upheld parental rights even when their kids are dropped off at school, yet there is a fairly recent lower court decision that states just the opposite.  So, what's the deal here?

First Circuit Court of Appeals  and this: The Supreme Court of the United States ...

As usual, it is always politics with the liberals, never is it the question of common sense and the Natural Law, as well as Church teaching, that it's the parents that have the primary responsibility to educate their offspring, and hopefully, to insulate them from the secular humanism, hedonism, and child abuse (!) that is so prevalent in the public school system today.

Read the above two articles and decide for yourself... But if you are a parent, there is little wiggle room here: you are responsible for the immortal souls of your children, and rest assured, you will be held accountable at your Particular Judgment when your world ends, that is, when you leave this earth...

Pray for our country...
