Just In Time For Memorial Day: Superintendent Of Denali National Park Brooke Merrell Tells Construction Workers To Remove US Flag From Equipment – It “Detracts” From Park Experience

 Marxist thug, Brook Merrell, superintendent of Denali National Park tells construction workers to remove U.S. Flag from equipment positing "it detracts from park experience"!

Well, wouldn't you know it, another Marxist lunatic insults construction workers -- some of whom just might be veterans! -- by forcing them to remove Old Glory from their equipment!

I wonder if those workers obeyed this punk, or did they ignore this communist thug and tell her to shove it?

By the way, Denali Park used to be Mount McKinley national park as the highest mountain in the U.S., was subject to a name change for -- what reason, exactly???  

More woke b.s.??

If you haven't already noticed, I'm getting sick and tired of these anti-American commies whether in the national park system or those so-called clerics who take great joy in slamming our founding document, the Constitution, and those Fathers who sacrificed their all to establish a new nation -- under God almighty! -- and fight for their rights systematically being destroyed by the tyrant, King George III.

All I can say, is that if upholding the Constitution and waving the American flag causes these bums heartburn, then get the hell out of the U.S. and move to North Korea or Red China, criticize those monsters by pen or speech, and see how long it takes for them to be thrown into labor camps for the rest of their natural lives!

The following story should make you want to vomit, if not, then YOU are part of the part of the problem that enables these gutless punks to deride our country -- and the veterans that fought and died for our inalienable, God-given rights that we have and enjoy today.  But be forewarned: those rights are being eroded by the communists running and ruining our beloved nation, that's why they must be voted out of office this coming November, if not, then you can kiss your freedoms goodbye!  That is not an exaggeration!

If they are not voted out, then we must -- must! -- invoke the Declaration of Independence and start over again!

From thegatewaypundit.com and written by Jim Hoft...Senator Demands Answers After Superintendent of Denali National Park Brooke Merrell Tells Construction Workers to Remove US Flag from Equipment - It "Detracts" from Park Experience | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

 "A construction crew working on a bridge in Alaska’s Denali National Park was ordered to remove their American flag from their equipment. The park official said it “detracted” from the park experience.

Alaska Watchman reported:

The crew working on a 475-foot-long bridge in Alaska’s Denali National Park was recently told that they could no longer fly the American flag from their trucks or heavy equipment, which are being used in the $207 million Federal Highway Administration project.

The bridge is being built by Granite Construction, after a 2021 rockslide took out a portion of the popular Denali Park Road that is used by visitors and tour buses to access more remote areas of the national park.

Since 2023, construction has been underway to repair the road at mile 45. This spring two mobile trucks and one piece of heavy equipment had been flying standard-sized U.S. flags."

 One of the contractors working on the bridge reached out to the Alaska Watchman regarding the recent order that the flags be removed. He asked that his name not be used, given that he is actively working on the project.

According to the contractor, Denali National Park Superintendent Brooke Merrell contacted the man overseeing the federal highways project, claiming there had been complaints about the U.S. flags, and notifying him that bridge workers must stop flying the stars and strips from their vehicles because it detracts from the “park experience.”

“The trucks are flying these American flags, about a foot atop the trucks, about three-foot by four-foot flags, and they said they don’t want this,” the contractor explained. “They’re saying it isn’t conducive and it doesn’t fit the park experience.”

How does someone this ridiculous make it to superintendent at a US National Park?

This woman should be fired immediately.

Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) wrote a strongly worded letter to the National Park Service demanding answers."

Memorial Day (Weekend), 2024...

  Love her or hate her, America is the only home we have...

I even know a priest that despises the U.S. Constitution, commenting on how "un-Christian" it is, and that our whole system of governance is based on the ideas of the Founding Fathers -- freemasons and deists.  But I say, that's what we have to work with, and until the implementation of the Social Reign of Christ the King, it'll have to do.

The question then begs: will we ever see that Heavenly reign upon earth??

Perhaps not in our lifetimes, but in the Father's "time" it will happen!

I also wonder out loud, if that priest actually realizes that he can get on his soapbox and criticize the faults and injustices all wants without being sent to Siberia?

Yet, if he were living and writing in, let's say, North Korea, Red China, Iran, etc., you get the idea, he wouldn't last a day at his typewriter or computer keyboard without being arrested.

So even though he has the right to believe what he wants to about our country and the Constitution, he should also realize that Memorial Day recognizes those VETERANS who made the ultimate sacrifice that allows that priest those guaranteed rights in the first place!

Don't get me wrong, I am not so naive to think that it is the government that grants our natural rights to us, nay!  It is God almighty Who has made us in the image and likeness of the Blessed Trinity and because of that we are endowed with those inalienable rights.   

Getting back to Memorial Day... It seems that some Americans look upon this Day as just another day off from work, a time for cookouts, barbecues and travels and the unofficial start of the summer driving season, etc.

It means a lot more than that to me, being a Vietnam veteran and the brother of a Navy veteran who participated in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis while stationed on the U.S.S. Constellation aircraft carrier...

I remember my dear mother on pins and needles while all that craziness was going on!  I'm sure she said many prayers for his safety -- and for peace in the world, as we came very close to a nuclear war with the old Soviet Union.

A mere five years later, when I got my orders to Vietnam, my mother's heart, once again, sunk down to the pit of her stomach, worrying -- again -- if one of her son's would become a casualty of war.

I finally arrived in-country on December 16, 1967, and returned home back on December 16, 1968, not physically wounded, but nonetheless changed forever.

And, as it turned out, I did become "wounded" many years later from the effects of the chemical Agent Orange which was used to defoliate the forests and jungles to reveal the hiding places of the Viet Cong (VC) and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) enemy forces...

I have received much needed and frequent treatment at the VA hospital for my service-connected ailments. But I'm far from the only one as I observe many Vietnam vets seeking treatment for their afflictions due to their service while deployed to Vietnam.  Again, due to the effects of Agent Orange as well as PTSD and the ongoing effects of old bullet and shrapnel wounds.

Each year the number of Vietnam vets still living are decreasing at an alarming speed, succumbing to their diseases, drugs -- and, yes, even suicide...

God have mercy on them!

You can imagine that there are fewer and fewer Korean war vets, and virtually no World War II vets still alive, I hope, though, that I'm wrong on that score...

On that sad score, I'll close this missive for now, but I'll ask all of you to say a prayer for all Vietnam vets and for peace in a world on the brink of destruction.

Here is a line from a poem I wrote concerning my brother veterans (taken from one of my books!): I may not have liked you, but I loved you...

I'm Going To Put On My "Tin Foil Hat" And Sit In A Closet With My Flashlight!

  Go ahead and call me a conspiracy nut job... That's okay with me, but I have a theory about the nasty, destructive weather that has hit the central part of the country over the last several days -- and weeks!

Day after day, almost non-stop!

There have been almost unbelievable stories of massively destructive, severe thunderstorms, and worse -- tornados that have hit the following states.  

Note the states I name and where they are located, further, see if I'm wrong by classifying the following states as mostly "red" -- or very "red"!  Here we go: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama...

I'm sure you have seen some of the news reports from boots-on-the- ground reporters, first responders, relief agencies as well as drone and aircraft showing the destruction of homes, businesses and, in some cases, entire towns.  Sadly, there was loss of life, but that loss could have been much worse if it were not for weather alerts and warnings that are usually broadcast in the breadbasket of the U.S. during this time of year.

Of course I'm talking about "tornado alley"!

As you know, we now live in Missouri -- right smack in the middle of "the alley," sometimes I wonder why we packed-up lock, stock and barrel and left New Hampshire for the "show me state"...

But that's another story for another time...

Now, let's talk about weather manipulation...

Is it real?

Yes, it is, and this is not a conspiracy theory as weather manipulation has been going on for decades, e.g., the seeding of clouds to increase the chance of rainfall, or more rainfall in certain areas of the country.

Also, there are certain days when you can plainly see chemtrails crisscrossing the sky; not contrails, but chemtrails!  

I realize that the "theory" of the chemtrail phenomenon can be quite controversial, but they are real; I have seen them and I'm sure you have seen them over time, concentrated more so in certain parts of the country than other locations...

Before I put on my "tin foil hat," I have to mention the massive and destructive wildfires that scorched the some of the western states a year or so ago.  

Some of the states affected were also pretty "red": Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and parts of California, Oregon, Utah, Nevada and Colorado, etc...

Okay, it's time for me to don the "hat," get my flashlight and head into my favorite closet...

What if -- what if! -- the states mentioned were targeted with weather manipulation to punish or demoralize, if you will, the more conservative, Bible-believing, America-first populations?

Who would be causing this to happen?     

Traitors?  Marxist communists?  Anti-Christs?

All three?

At least all three, perhaps many more categories of America-haters...

How about a connection between corrupt political entities and the military-industrial-complex?

Add to this "tin-foil-hat" "conspiracy theory," the millions -- that's millions! -- of illegal aliens that have been allowed to flood into the country -- for what purpose, exactly???  (As many are military-aged men!)

What will all this lead to in the not-too-distant future?  

An internal "Red Dawn," perhaps?

An end to the Republic?

A permanent, openly totalitarian regime ushering in an end to our God-given rights and responsibilities, total slavery and control by the elites?

Your guess is as good as mine...

I'm exiting the closet now and taking off my tin-foil-hat and getting back to reality, so pray for our country -- and vote out the current crop of traitors and Christ-haters and send them packing...

Pray for strength and honor!

Fr. Joachim Heimerl: ["]Cardinal["] Fernández Wants To ‘Cancel’ Marian Apparitions And The Supernatural!!!

 In case you haven't heard, within the last week or so, a new attack on Marian apparitions and the supernatural in general, was released by apostate Rome through the heretical hands of "cardinal" Fernandez.  

Also, in case you haven't heard, Fernandez is in now in charge -- believe it or not! -- of the “Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith”!

Appointed by who?  The Bishop of Rome, Bergoglio, also known as pope Francis.  Need I say more...

There have been many in the Catholic blogosphere that have commented on this nonsensical, modernist attack on our Lady and her messages of prayer, penance, amending one's life, with the ultimate goal of leading all to her Divine Son...

Some of those making comments on the internet have been Catholic priests...

Now, Fr. Joachim Heimerl will lay out the real reason for this newest diabolical attempt to downplay our Lady's role in salvation history.

The following article is from lifesitenews.com and written by Fr. Joachim Heimerl: Catholic priest: Cardinal Fernández wants to ‘cancel’ Marian apparitions and the supernatural - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

‘Cardinal Fernández pretends to be faithful in order to undermine the faith,’ most recently by denying the ‘supernatural character’ of Marian apparitions that contradict Pope Francis’ ‘synodal’ agenda, Father Joachim Heimerl writes.

(LifeSiteNews) — The “Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith” published a new document shortly before Pentecost. It is the latest during the tenure of the controversial Cardinal Prefect Víctor Manuel Fernández and is likely to cause as much uproar among Catholics around the world as the previous ones. Let me say it in advance: Gradually, it would be time to rename the dicastery: “Dicastery for Faithlessness” would still be a harmless term.

But one thing at a time: The new document doesn’t sound very exciting: “Norms for the proceeding in the discernment of alleged supernatural phenomena.” What lies behind the bulky title, however, is toxic: put simply, it is about Marian apparitions and how they can be neutralized or canceled.

READ: Vatican issues new norms on alleged visions, refusing to rule on supernatural origin of events

This is not without controversy, as countless Catholics are significantly inspired by such apparitions in their faith life; the new document – and even more so its application – is therefore unlikely to be met with broad approval by the faithful. And all the less so when one sees through the statements behind it.

The procedure is always the same: Cardinal Fernández pretends to be faithful in order to undermine the faith. This could be observed in the heretical “blessing” document “Fiducia supplicans” as well as – somewhat more subtly – in “Dignitas infinita,” which was about “human dignity.”

Now it is the turn of the Marian apparitions, and Fernández emphasizes that they are always “private revelations” that are not part of the deposit of faith. That is correct and nothing new, but that is not the point.

READ: Catholic priest: Dignitas Infinita a ‘faithless’ document with little to say about salvation

Rather, it is about something that is not said at all: It is about the fact that such phenomena simply take place and, above all, that they are quite disruptive. It doesn’t matter whether they are historical and ecclesiastically recognized apparitions, such as in Lourdes (1858) and Fatima (1917), or current ones, such as those reported in Medjugorje (since 1981).

But who is actually bothered by these apparitions?

Certainly not the millions and millions of pilgrims who experience grace, conversion, and healing through them. But they do disturb all those who no longer believe in God, especially those who hold high ecclesiastical offices, i.e., Fernández and Co.

Those who want to establish a “synodal,” man-made church and falsify the faith according to their own ideas have no use for Marian apparitions. After all, they point like an exclamation mark to God as the Lord of the Church and remind us that we are only obliged to HIM and HIS final revelation. However, this is often the opposite of what Cardinal Fernández teaches on behalf of the pope.

Long story short: Marian apparitions are not to be used for the propaganda of the synodal “church reformers,” and therefore, they are to be decisively relativized. For this reason, the new “norms” will, in the future, at best, attest to the harmlessness of such phenomena but no longer, as before, to their supernatural character. In other words, the Church will at most put a question mark behind everything supernatural and leave it at that.

Of course, already recognized apparitions are also indirectly affected by this regulation because the signal of the “norms” is clear: there are no reliable statements about the supernatural. This view is egregious and also heretical since it indirectly denies God Himself or at least His power to intervene in our present time.

In this respect, the new document goes far beyond Marian apparitions. It sheds significant light on the current imbalance in the Church, in which supernatural faith no longer plays any role at all.

The documents Fiducia supplicans and Dignitas infinita have already shown that this is the case. Even the “World Synod” does not serve to defend or deepen the deposit of faith but to adapt it to the spirit of the age. For this to work, a trick is used that is known in synodal parlance as “conversation in the Holy Spirit”: It’s about listening to the “Holy Spirit” and the supposedly “new” things He tells the Church.

Isn’t that amazing? Because even if the Holy Spirit really did speak to the Synod, it would be one of those “supernatural phenomena” that the new “norms” deny.

And: the result of this would be something that does not exist according to the teaching of the Church, namely a new revelation of God that no longer agrees with the previous one.

Let me therefore put it as simply as it is: supposedly “supernatural phenomena” are now only accepted if they correspond to the pope’s destructive church-political program. Everything else, including the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, will in the future be considered “unobjectionable” at most and therefore meaningless.

However, there is a catch: even if apparitions are “private revelations,” it has always pleased God to speak to His people and guide them, because only God is the sovereign Lord of the Church and not Francis or even Fernández.

The new “norms” cannot prevent this, and therefore, they could soon be overtaken by heaven. God Himself or the Blessed Virgin Mary do not need one thing: the recognition of the pope or his prefect of the Doctrine of the Faith.

The most famous example is probably the miracle of the sun in Fatima, which was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people on October 13, 1917. This miracle was so overwhelming and so obviously supernatural that ecclesiastical recognition of the apparitions remained a formality after the fact.

Even today, we can be certain: The Blessed Virgin, who crushed the unbelief of the Portuguese communists back then, will also destroy the new unbelief in the Church; perhaps Francis and Fernández will live to see this in office. After all, in Medjugorje, 10 secrets are announced for the near future, which are to be proclaimed to the world three days before they occur. And also in Garabandal (1961-65), the Blessed Virgin once predicted a warning, followed by a miracle and finally the judgment.

Incidentally, all of this is supposed to occur after an event that was unknown in Church parlance at the time, namely after an important “synod!”

The half-life of the new “norms” could, therefore, perhaps be very short; that of the faithless “synodal church” and the “world synod” possibly also. We shall see!"

End of article...

(One note of caution on the so-called apparitions of Medjugorje and Garabandal; both have been steeped in "controversy," and, I believe, Medjugorje has not been approved by the bishop of that see.)

What I do believe is that Fr. Joachim Heimerl will be attacked, cancelled and or thrown under the bus, so to speak, for preaching the truth about the faithlessness of the (novus ordo) hierarchy who hate Tradition.  We shall see!

Pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters -- and for their conversion!

Pray too, for strength and honor!

Brutal! "It Is A Fearful Thing To Send A Man's Soul To Perdition"...

  "It is a fearful thing to send a man's soul to perdition"! 

That line is from one of my favorite movies from 1935: "Captain Blood," staring a young (26-year-old) Errol Flynn and (19-year-old!) Olivia deHavilland.  

As a bit of trivia, Olivia deHavilland lived to the ripe old age of, get this -- 104!!

Errol Flynn on the other hand, died at the relatively young age of 50 years...

That line: "It is a fearful thing to send a man's soul to perdition," was said by one of the king's judges passing sentence on the "rebel" "traitors" who opposed the tyrant king and fought for their human rights...

The very idea of sending someone to perdition is such a brutal thing to even contemplate.  But we also know that only our Lord passes final judgement on a soul at their Particular Judgement, but those in authority on this earth -- who have the grave responsibility to guide souls to the heavenly beatitude, but fail in that responsibility, will be judged more harshly than the Prodigal Son who separates himself from sanctifying grace, whether out of vincible ignorance, weakness or malice.

This brings me to a diabolical and sad story that indicates the length and breadth that the modernist, apostates will go to, to implement a heinous, un-natural agenda regardless of the cost to an immortal soul.

Diocese of Lexington doubles down on referring to female 'hermit' as 'he,' 'Brother' - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

I'll post the entire article here: "(LifeSiteNews) — In a statement released Tuesday, the Diocese of Lexington, headed by heterodox Bishop John Stowe, doubled down on referring to the woman who calls herself a man and lives as a “diocesan hermit” as a man named “Brother Christian Matson.”

“On Pentecost Sunday, Brother Christian Matson, a professed hermit in the Diocese of Lexington, has made it public that he (sic) is a transgender person. Brother Christian has long sought to consecrate his life to Christ in the Church by living the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience,” the diocese wrote.

“He has consistently been accompanied by a competent spiritual director and has undergone formation in the Benedictine tradition. He does not seek ordination but has professed a rule of life that allows him to support himself financially by continuing his work in the arts and to live a life of contemplation in a private hermitage,” the diocese continued.

“Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv., accepted his profession and is grateful to Brother Christian for his witness of discipleship, integrity and contemplative prayer for the Church,” it added.

The doubling down comes after “Brother” Christian Cole Matson, born Nicole Matson, told Religion News Service (RNS) on Friday, “This Sunday, Pentecost 2024, I’m planning to come out publicly as transgender,” adding that she has the permission of Bishop Stowe to publicly share this information.

The news that Matson is in fact a woman came as a surprise to many of her acquaintances, since her voice and appearance are that of a man, and she has not often disclosed the fact that she is a biological female. In 2015, EWTN interviewed Matson, who has developed strong ties to Catholic actors and artists, about her conversion to Catholicism, apparently without knowing the truth behind “Cole’s” masculine appearance.

Matson, 39, who was raised Presbyterian, explained to RNS that she “converted” to Catholicism four years after her “sex change” in college, which she referred to as part of her “medical history” rather than a “central part” of her “personal identity.” After her “conversion,” she “felt called to minister to those involved in the arts,” according to RNS, but anticipated obstacles to this aspiration because of the 2000 Vatican document that declared that anyone who has had a “sex change” is ineligible “to marry, be ordained to the priesthood or enter religious life.”

It should be noted that Matson continues to embrace her “trans” identity even after her “conversion.” She argues that the Catholic Church “can embrace transgender people while maintaining orthodoxy,” and that “Vatican-level documents that have come out on the subject have not engaged with the science at all,” according to RNS.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Mother Therese Ivers, a canon lawyer, confirmed that it is canonically impossible for a “transsexual” person to live as a religious or in any ecclesial state.

According to Ivers, a transsexual commits a “very grave violation” against chastity, not in the sense that chastity is normally understood, but in reference to the fact that transsexuals “act against biological reality” and “against the type of human person that God intended that person to be.”

“A violation against the vow of chastity can include bodily mutilation and encouraging others to do the same. Such a sin would be morally grave in nature – we are not judging the soul – and would also incur sacrilege because it goes against the promise made to God (virtue of religion),” she added.

She further explained that while the whole point of religious life and vows to poverty, chastity and obedience are to grow “closer to Christ” and increase charity for “the people of God,” the use of such a religious life to advocate for a transsexual lifestyle, which “actually brings people away from that closeness to God,” is contrary to that aim."

UPDATE On The "D.C. Nine" Pro-Lifer's Being Sentenced To Prison For Trying To Protect Pre-Born Babies...

 On May 16th, I wrote: Wake Up!!! Amerika Is Worse Than The Old Soviet Union Under The Murderer Stalin!! Read And Heed This Article!!

Today, May 21st, I have an update on the "D.C. Nine" and their trials and tribulations at the hands of a radical pro-death "judge" and the so-called jurors who participated in the kangaroo show trial in D.C...

From lifesitenews.com and written by Louis Knuffke: Persecution of pro-life Americans continues with this week's sentences in DC FACE Act case - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

This story adds more proof that the federal monstrosity in D.C. is not only out of control but is also a true enemy of the people who cherish life and our good God!

I know that President Trump is far from perfect, but if he is not elected to the Oval Office in November, then our country will be D.O.A., and that will be the end of America as we know it...

I'll post the entire article here: "WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The two days of sentencing that took place in our nation’s capital on May 14 and 15 demonstrated clearly both the insecurity and aggressiveness of our government’s present persecution of pro-life Americans and the resilience of the “D.C. Nine” pro-lifers who are bearing the brunt of that persecution.

I was there through it all, and it struck me that Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s attempt to appear merciful toward the D.C. Nine, who were brought to trial on charges that carried the heavy threat of an 11-year prison sentence, was a form of insecurity. Knowing the case would likely collapse should the actual evidence of what happens in an abortion be allowed to see its day in court, she insisted at every sentencing that “the case is not about abortion” as though afraid to be confronted with the ugly truth of what it actually was these pro-lifers had gone to stop.

On the other hand, Judge Kotelly, appointed by the same president who enacted the egregious FACE Act, which has led to the imprisonement of the D.C. 9, seemed perturbed by the strong and open refusal of every pro-lifer to apologize for having stepped in the way when the life of the precious unborn was at stake.

Kotelly demonstrated her unmerciful will when sentencing 74-year-old infirm Jean Marshall to a further punishment of more than a year in prison despite the abundant testimony about her critical health needs and the lack of proper, essential, urgent medical care during the past nine months of her detainment. The gross medical neglect of both Judge Kotelly and the Alexandria Detention Center – where Jean has been held in custody since last September – as well as the DOJ’s complicity in Marshall’s mistreatment and neglect, was on full display in the courtroom at Jean’s sentencing.

I heard at the sentencing that not only has the judge denied the prescribed hip replacement surgery that Jean Marshall’s doctor scheduled last fall, but when Jean was taken into custody, the jail took from her a medical hip belt, designed to keep her hips even, merely because the belt contained metal. This medical belt was never returned to her, and her condition has significantly worsened, resulting in continual extreme pain in her right leg and, recently, the inability to bend the right knee as well as numbness of the right leg.

The DOJ claimed on Wednesday that there was no documentation submitted to the court regarding Jean Marshall’s urgent health conditions, which her lawyer quickly refuted by reading the letter of her own doctor sent to the judge the day before Marshall was convicted last September. The letter detailed her need for the recommended hip replacement surgery, which was originally scheduled by the same doctor and then canceled because of the judge. The document had been entered into the court’s docket for the trial, but Judge Kotelly appears to have never actually read the letter, as its contents were “news” to her on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, a full 8 months, nearly to the day, after the letter had been sent to her on September 14, 2023.

READ: Elderly pro-lifer Jean Marshall sentenced to 24 months, denied home confinement despite health issues

Nothing less should have been expected of this aggressively pro-abortion judge, who surmised in a pretrial memo that the so called “right to abortion” was perhaps contained in the 13th amendment – which abolished slavery in our nation! – an idea so ridiculous that not even the DOJ opted to use it in their courtroom arguments.

In addition to the serious medical neglect Judge Kotelly and the DOJ are inflicting on Jean Marshall, they have now also effectively rendered her homeless. As Marshall made known to the court, the retirement housing in which she resided prior to incarceration last fall requires the renewal of her residency by next January in order to be maintained. Without either husband or children to do so for her, she will have been evicted from her home by the time she is released from prison under Kotelly’s sentence: an elderly, infirm, Catholic pro-life woman and retired RN rendered homeless at 74 by a pro-abortion judge and DOJ.

On the part of the pro-lifers sentenced over the past two days, our nation has witnessed a resilience that will outlast the pro-abortion Biden DOJ and see its day of vindication.

I was particularly moved when listening to the eloquent John Hinshaw, who, in true Thomas More style, seemed to pronounce sentence on the judge at his own sentencing, reminding her of the One Judge of all, before whom they both will soon appear to answer for their actions regarding the bloody murder of the innocent unborn babies killed throughout America over the decades by abortion.

The only apology that came from Hinshaw that day was a lament that he has not done more than he has done to stand up for, and defend, the defenseless unborn.

Jonathan Darnel, a decorated veteran and retired captain of the U.S. Army, who deployed twice to Iraq, declared that he intended to fulfill both his soldier’s oath to uphold the Constitution and his obligation as a Christian to love his neighbor. Citing the 14th Amendment, he declared the murder of the unborn to be both immoral and illegal, in contradiction to the specious claims of both the judge and the prosecution that the life of the unborn is not protected by American law.

Then the court heard the eloquent words of Jean Marshall, who declared, “Our rights end where another’s begin. And they begin where all of ours do – at conception.” She spoke beautifully on the “God-given right to life” enshrined in and protected by our nation’s own Declaration of Independence and Constitution. 

Marshall’s eloquence on the right to life met only with impatience and contempt from the judge, who, interrupting numerous times and insisting that the case “was not about abortion,” could not bear to hear a simple statement defending the right to life of every unborn child given by an imprisoned elderly pro-lifer who has endured nine months of medical maltreatment and neglect. 

The unjust sentences pronounced this week, even if shorter than those possible or expected, will serve as evidence of the aggressive pro-abortion agenda of the Biden DOJ and the complicit Clinton-appointed federal judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. If the prosecutors in the case and the judge wished their names to be placed on this potentially precedent-setting case, in which charges of violating FACE were combined with “conspiracy against rights,” then their names will go down in history with infamy when our nation finally acknowledges the horror and devastation of the last five decades, which we have guiltily perpetrated in the slaughter of the innocent through abortion.

This week’s sentences are certainly not the last word on abortion either in Washington, D.C., or in America. 

May God bless the courageous “D.C. Nine”, who stood in the breach in defense of life, and may He grant them strength to continue to bear witness before judges and courts.

May Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Author of life and Judge of all, look mercifully upon their sufferings and bring their undaunted testimony to full fruit by purging every corner of our land of the crime of abortion. 

“For the sake of the joy which lay before Him, Christ endured the Cross, heedless of its shame.” 

May these pro-lifers in like manner endure their cross, for love of Him, heedless of the shame with which the world tries to break them."

Louis Knuffke has been reporting the sentencing hearings of the D.C. 9 from the courtroom.

May our dear Lord and His most Blessed Mother protect and strengthen these pro-life warriors and their families!

Pray too, for strength and honor -- for ourselves and for our families!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...

It Is "Madness" To Believe That The Sovereignty Of Your Nation Must Be Maintained With A Secure Border!

  To be precise, here is the definition of "madness": extremely foolish, irrational, or reckless behavior: state of frenzied or chaotic activity...

Is it madness to maintain a secure border to preserve the state's sovereignty?

According to the Bishop of Rome, Bergoglio, also known as Pope Francis, it is madness!

It seems that if you are a conservative -- whatever that means these days -- you are also "mad"!

I will also make some comments (in red)...

See if you can detect the lunacy in the following story from IBTimes: Pope Calls Anti-migrant Attitudes At US Border 'Madness' (msn.com)

"Pope Francis made a foray into the US election season with a rare television interview Sunday, calling harsh anti-migrant attitudes "madness" and criticizing right-wing US Catholic figures for overly conservative stances against his social teachings.

Frist, Bergoglio has no business inserting his errant opinions into our upcoming elections!  Second, he has now opened a pandora's box that he must now deal with... Third, if Bergoglio is the true leader of the (novus ordo) Catholic Church, then why doesn't he publicly ex-communicate those "Catholics" who want to kill pre-born babies even up to the time they are ready to come out of the womb?  E.g., the baby killer in-charge, Biden, for one... There are many!

It is also apparent that Bergoglio hates America, especially "right wing conservatives" most vehemently! 

As for his "social teachings," many supposed teachings of Bergoglio directly violate true Catholic Church teachings!

Speaking in his native Spanish through a translator for more than an hour, Francis told CBS News program "60 Minutes" that the closing by the state of Texas of a Catholic charity offering humanitarian assistance was absurd.

It is a fact that "Catholic Charities" are assisting illegal aliens sneak into our nation and are using the "charities" moniker to push their anti-American agenda by flooding the country with illegals... 

Texas has every right to try to secure their massive border since the traitors in D.C. won't...

"That is madness. Sheer madness. To close the border and leave them there, that is madness. The migrant has to be received," the pope said.

We have every right to secure our border from the likes of monsters such as MS13, druggies and sex-slavers!

"Thereafter you see how you are going to deal with him. Maybe you have to send him back, I don't know, but each case ought to be considered humanely," Francis said.

Tell me, Bergoglio, what is "humane" about the hundreds of American citizens raped, killed, kidnapped and maimed by those madmen coming through the sieve that is our southern border?   "Funny," how you never address that!  Tunnel vision I suppose...

Record numbers of migrants have been seeking to enter the United States, largely from Central America and Venezuela, as they flee poverty, violence and disasters exacerbated by climate change.

That still does not give anyone the right to enter the country illegally, which, by the way, is a violation of the federal laws still on the books...

Of course, Bergoglio has to throw in the faux "climate change" nonsense... 

The matter has emerged as a top political issue in the November US election, with ["]President["] Joe Biden's Republican challenger, former president Donald Trump, pushing the topic front and center.

(My brackets around the word president, as Biden was installed, not elected.)

"The globalization of indifference" on migrants, Francis said, "is a very ugly disease."

Globalization, indifference??  Funny words to use... I know what globalization is, and what indifference is, but what the heck is the globalization of indifference??

We all know that Bergoglio is, perhaps, one of the biggest pushers for a one-world-order, one-world-religion, one-world-governance intent on reducing the population of the earth by the billions -- in order to "save the planet"!!  This is pure lunacy coming from the supposed pope of the church!

Francis, 87, also addressed criticisms by conservative US bishops who oppose his efforts to revisit certain teachings and traditions.

It is always a good thing to "revisit" and better understand doctrine and dogma, but it is an evil thing to change or cancel the perennial teachings of the true Catholic Church.  This has been the hallmark -- the goal -- of the papacy of Bergoglio since his installation by the St. Gallen Mafia... 

A "conservative is one who clings to something and does not want to see beyond that," he said when asked about the bishops, adding "it is a suicidal attitude."

Dare!  Dare any decent, God-fearing bishop that stands up to the madness of the apostate sitting in the Chair of St. Peter, and they will get fired, cancelled and thrown to the wolves, post-haste!

Since his election in 2013, Pope Francis has insisted on the importance of a church open to all, including member of the LGBT community, but he has faced strong resistance from conservative Catholics.

Let's keep in mind that the true Catholic Church, is, in fact, open to all, and inclusive, but not the way Bergoglio wants the church to be... He has consistently encouraged those sodomites and apostates to continue in their sinful ways refusing to charitably admonish them and warn them of their impending doom if they don't confess, do penance and amend their lives.    

Why is that??

There was a particularly strong reaction when Francis opened the door to the blessing of gay couples last year, especially in African countries.

This is beyond sick!  Evil cannot be "blessed," period!!  

And what good is it, if a cleric doesn't admonish the sinner to change their ways???  

Calling gay people "a human fact," Francis said in the interview: "To bless each person, why not? The blessing is for all."

Truly nonsensical! 

The pontiff also touched on the controversial topic of sex abuse within the Catholic Church.

He has made combatting sexual assault in the Church one of the main missions of his papacy, and insisted on a "zero tolerance" policy following multiple wide-reaching scandals.

"Unfortunately, the tragedy of the abuses is enormous," he told CBS, adding that abuse "cannot be tolerated."

Look up a "priest" by the name of Rupnik and discover for yourself the filth and sacrilege attributed to this apostate -- who had his ex-communication lifted by none other than Bergoglio!  

"When there is a case of a religious man or woman who abuses, the full force of the law falls upon them," Francis said.

But, he added, "there has been a great deal of progress."

Really??

End of this "mad" article...

Pray always for the defeat of these wolves in sheep's clothing!

And, too, for strength and honor!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
