Remembering December 7, 1941...

 December is right around the corner and the "day that will live in infamy" is also quickly approaching.

My readers should all know this date from the history books, or had relatives that might have been at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese launched a "sneak attack" on America, Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. Folks were on their way to church; sailors and Marines were in "holiday routine," yet in the process of the raising of the Flag and the military bands were playing the National Anthem; it was 8:00 A.M.... 

Since that infamous day, there have been other "sneak attacks" on America, or, should I say, from within America, by those who's aim is to destroy what the Founding Fathers established: a representative republic designed to have liberty and justice for all..  But we know that there have been, and still are, scallywags intent on making our beloved nation into an image and likeness -- of themselves! 

The Bible relates how Christ, our Savior, encountered corrupt leaders of His time, filling their pockets with filthy lucre, demanding that those under them live and act a certain way, while, at the same time, lived, just the opposite way.  Christ labeled such men as hypocrites -- one of the reasons for His eventual arrest and crucifixion.  It was obvious that the religious and temporal rulers didn't like being told the truth.  In fact, we know they couldn't even recognize the Truth standing right in front of their eyes!

Why do I bring up biblical history when remembering the attack on Pearl Harbor 79-years ago?  It might help by recounting former president, Eisenhower, and his eye-opening speech, just as he was about to leave office, and the new president, John F. Kennedy, was about to take office.  Eisenhower, the former supreme allied commander in World War II, warned the American people of the threat to our liberties, as well as to our peace and harmony, by the ever-growing and powerful, military industrial complex.  

I understand that there must be a relationship between our military -- let's call it the Pentagon -- and those commercial industries that produce weapons of war to deter, and, if necessary, fight and defeat a perceived enemy.  You can't have one without the other, but Eisenhower's warning referred to those secret entities accruing vast amounts of unaccountable monies from the taxpayers, and using those monies, not for the good of the nation, but for evil purposes.  In effect, creating a false god -- an idolatry! -- of power and control over the foreign policies of our country, and those that make those policies.  It is easy to see where that has led us, down through the years, especially after the Second World War, even to our present day, with un-ending wars and rumors of wars...

President Trump had recognized this sad fact way before he was even considering running for president in 2016.  And now, he is making good his pledge to bring the troops home from at least two war-torn countries; Iraq and Afghanistan, drawing down, in increments, to a point where there will only be about 2,500 troops in each country by the end of January, 2021...

After his announced draw-down, those powerful, deep-staters in the military-industrial complex, went ballistic!  Accusing the president of creating a potential and massive security threat -- to our country!   

How many realize that we have thousands of troops still stationed in Germany?   World War II ended 75 years ago!

How many realize that we have thousands of troops still stationed in South Korea?  The Korean armistice was signed 67 years ago! 

I haven't mentioned the numerous other countries where we have an almost continuous, and ever-growing, military presence, especially in some of the other Middle East nations, as well as on the African Continent.  

Once we get into a quagmire, it is almost impossible, it seems, to dig, or pull ourselves out.  This is not by happenstance, but by careful planning and execution, in my opinion...  

There is always hope, however, and that hope does not lie in one, particular politician or political party to be our "savior," but in the one, true Savior of mankind, Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Without Him we can do nothing, but with Him, we can do everything!  

Pray for President Trump, and pray for strength and honor!

What Will YOU Do, And How Will You Respond If Biden/Harris Hold The White House Hostage??

 As in the Catholic church, we must resist -- to the face! -- this rogue, errant pope Francis, we must also be willing to resist -- to the face! -- a rogue, errant, potential, president Biden, whose hands are dripping with the blood of the pre-born, planning to turn our beloved nation into a third-world hell-hole of socialism, beholding to the likes of the murderous monster dictator, Xi of Communist Red China.  

There is no choice here, but to not accept the results.  We are witnessing a massive election and voter fraud, to such an incredible extent, that has never before been seen in our nation's history.  Will they -- the Demonrats -- get away with it?  We will see, in  the next couple of weeks, when the electors cast their votes in the Electoral College on December 14th.  If all of the challenges of President Trump's legal team fail, we will have a corrupt, compromised Biden, taking the helm of the ship-of-state, that is, until he can no longer put one, single cohesive sentence together.  At that point, the radical anti-Catholic bigot, Harris, will take over.  If that happens, all Catholics -- in fact, all Christians of any stripe -- should get ready for actual persecution and denial of our First Amendment right to practice our religion without coercion or interference from the government.  I should add that our rights do not come from government, but from God almighty as enshrined in the Natural Law.  It is the job of government to safeguard and protect those rights, not infringe or destroy our right to worship God the way He wants us to worship Him!  

The tyrant, Xi, of Red China, recently complained that Americans have too many guns!  Did you get that?   Why would he think and say that?  He knows that a disarmed citizenry cannot stand up to the regime, hell-bent on enslaving its people, that's why.  I don't think he realizes the number of veterans still living and loving their fatherland, as well as the millions of hunters throughout our great land.  There just might be an actual "Red Dawn" in the not-too-distant future, and, maybe, a new generation of "Wolverines" fighting to take back the land of the free and the home of the brave.  Communist dictators and leftist politicians hate the fact that we Americans have the Second Amendment -- the right to keep and bear arms.  That fact upsets and frustrates their plans to make us completely subservient to their every illicit, un-natural whim.  There are already plans in the works to register -- and confiscate -- our weapons!!  That will not happen!  

The so-called "devout Catholic" Biden, and the self-described same, Pelosi, are emboldened by Bergoglio, holding the Chair of St. Peter hostage, as a Biden administration will hold the White House hostage for a possible four-year-term of office; that horrible thought just might become a reality...

Even if President Trump is not successful in winning the Oval Office for a second term, there is no need to completely despair, as we have Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and His most Blessed Mother to sustain us in times of tribulation and persecution!  That is a winning combination that cannot be defeated!

 Pray for strength and honor and pray for President Trump!!

How Many People Die From Medical Errors In The U.S. Each Year?

 From mymedicalscore.com comes the following harrowing statistics.  Keeping in mind, that the "statistics" are people, not just numbers!! 

Top Health Statistics

•  Medical billing errors cost Americans $210,000,000,000 annually.
• Roughly 12,000,000 Americans are misdiagnosed each year.
• Medical errors cause an estimated 250,000 deaths in the United States annually.
•  As many as 80 percent of medical bills contain at least one error.
• A little more than 4,000 surgical errors occur each year.
• It’s estimated that 7,000 to 9,000 patients die every year from medication errors.

As you can see from our top stats, medical errors are abundant in the American health care system.  What qualifies as a medical error, and how can you know if you or a loved one has been the victim of one?

What Is a “Medical Error”?

According to the book Medical Error, it is defined as a “preventable adverse effect of medical care, whether or not it is evident or harmful to the patient.” (Emphasis added.)

As a patient, you may not even know a medical error has taken place, and even if you do know about it, the medical error may not negatively affect you in any way.  However, many medical errors are quite serious, and can even result in death.

According to data provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, one in seven patients on Medicare in a hospital setting is the victim of a medical error.

A Johns Hopkins study released in 2016 estimated that roughly 250,000 people die ANNUALLY because of medical errors.  That would make medical errors the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease and cancer.

My comment:  How many people have died, supposedly, from the current "pandemic" of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19)?  According to the CDC, about 6-7 percent of those people infected with the virus have died from March 2020 to the current date of November 24, 2020.  That comes out to about 14,000-15,000, regardless of what the mainstream media propaganda machine spews out daily all over TV and the Internet trying to scare the hell out of a gullible American populace...

Even one death is to be mourned, so how about the 250,000 folks that die from medical errors?  Where is the outcry and investigations and the remedies to curtail these horrific numbers?  Why aren't doctors and pharmaceutical conglomerates put on notice that they will be investigated and brought to justice?  Is it because they feel immune or above answering for their malpractice and malfeasance?

We are currently experiencing another widespread draconian lockdown just in time for the upcoming holiday season.  We've been told that we should be isolated this Thanksgiving and not share our joys with our family and friends.  The next -- and much more important -- celebration of Christmas and the birth of our Savior, seems to be in the crosshairs of the Christ-hating, new-world-order globalists!    We cannot and will not let that happen!  If we do let that happen, then we have no one to blame but ourselves and our milquetoast response to tyrannical governors and mayors, with little or no help coming from weak-kneed Catholic bishops.  They are have the disgusting habit of capitulating to the secular-humanist powers that are in control of almost every aspect of our lives!

Pray for JUSTICE!  And pray for strength and honor!!

Media Silence On The Ongoing Slaughter In Chicago...

 It seems we are literally surrounded by the covid-19 "pandemic" making us all sick and dying by the thousands, or so it seems.  We are told that there is a massive surge in cases, and hospitals are filling up -- again -- yet no one is dissecting the numbers about just who is getting sick, hospitalized or dying.  

Are all the new cases the young and formally healthy?  Are there middle-aged with some previous health issues?  Or, perhaps, are most of those arriving in the hospitals the elderly with some, or many co-morbidities?  Not a single mainstream media source is spilling the beans.  In fact, I haven't seen any of the alternative news sources break down that very important aspect of the statistics we hear about on a daily basis.  It seems that even "our side" is buying the establishment narrative, hook, line and sinker...

An increase in cases does not automatically mean an increase in hospitalizations, nor does it mean an increase in deaths due to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).  I have written in some of my other articles that the CDC's own website posts a footnote under the column for deaths due to covid-19; it reads as follows: Deaths with confirmed or presumed Covid-19.   I just checked, and that footnote is still on their website...  

We also know that there is an agenda perpetrated by the media to continue instilling fear and panic into thinking that wearing an ineffective facemask will save you from catching the Wuhan virus.  Further, we are also told that we must sacrifice our Thanksgiving holiday because of some perceived fear of spreading that particular strain of the flu bug among family and friends.  I can only guess that Christmas will be next, in fact that is already being speculated by the likes of Fauci and many of the states controlled by the tyrannical Democrat governors, and mayors of some of our largest cities.  

That brings me back to the title of this short article: Media silence on the ongoing slaughter in Chicago...

Over this past weekend alone, 50 -- count them 50 -- people were shot, and five killed on the streets of the "Windy City," run by a lunatic lesbian mayor who seems to have nine political lives!  Why is she still running and ruining that once-great city?   

The shootings and killings are so rampant that even the Chicago Sun Times and the Chicago Tribune cannot avoid the reality of their city turned into a war zone...  Their statistics are horrifying: from January 1, 2020 to November 9, 2020, SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED!  WITH 3,619 PEOPLE SHOT, FATAL AND NON-FATAL, COMBINED DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD, with nearly a month-and-a-half yet to go in 2020!

Like I said, Chicago is now, and has been, a war zone for far too long, yet the media silence on the malfeasance of mayor Lightfoot is truly deafening... 

As we are being barraged by the coronavirus news, innocent men, women -- and yes children! -- are being gunned-down with their lives tragically ended by gang lords and drug dealers fighting to keep their turf from being invaded by other criminals who want a piece of their pie...

Whether a flu virus or shootings on the sidewalks of our cities, the main cause is the fallen nature of mankind, in essence, a rejection of our good God, and an embrace of evil over good...  Nothing will change, unless and until, hearts and minds change and return to the tenets of the Natural Law and the divinely revealed laws of Our Lord's true religion...

Pray for strength and honor!

Is COVID-19 The Real Enemy Of Your Health?

 How deadly is the COVID-19 virus?

From medicinenet.com...

Here is some info: Yes ... is highly contagious and can be transmitted from an infected person to an uninfected person, mainly when a person with ... coughs, sneezes, speaks, or even sings (known as airborne transmission or airborne disease). Other people who breathe in the aerosolized bacteria can become infected.

I must admit that I was not completely honest with my readers.  The above contagion refers to tuberculosis (TB), not COVID!  In 2019, there were just under 9,000 cases of TB in the U.S., according to the CDC.  But even though this disease is highly contagious, there is no face-mask mandate anywhere in the United States to help prevent the spread of this deadly disease.

What about the common cold?

Isn't the common cold highly contagious if someone coughs and sneezes near you and you breathe in the germs?   The common cold has been around since Adam and Eve got kicked out of the Garden, yet there is no vaccine; never has been, and probably never will be.  The best way to help alleviate the symptoms is to drink plenty of fluids and enjoy some Jewish penicillin, chicken soup!

Yet, during the cold -- and flu -- season, there is no face-mask mandate.  Why?

According to the CDC, the rate of recovery from the COVID-19 virus is an astounding 99-plus percent for all ages until one reaches the 60th year or older, even then, the rate is still over 94 percent!  

So, is COVID-19 the real enemy of your health?

No.  The real enemies are the draconian measures dictated by badge-heavy bureaucrats arbitrarily imposing illicit, un-constitutional mandates keeping our faces covered and (un)-social distancing requirements, keeping us separated from family and friends, especially those in support facilities such as nursing homes and hospices...

In addition, the number of men, women and children adversely affected by isolation, face-mask-wearing, and lockdowns, is incalculable and is sure to be in the hundreds, if not thousands of deaths, including suicide.  That is the real tragedy of this so-called pandemic!

Now, the Thanksgiving holiday is, for all practical purposes, consigned to the dustbin of history, that is, if you and I allow this sham to continue.  We must resist at all costs, because the birth of our Savior -- that we celebrate at Christmastime -- is next on the chopping block!  This is not by accident, but by the design of godless, power-control-freak politicians and the mindless robots that pass for "law enforcement" that, for the most part, do the bidding of these miscreants.  Remember, all law enforcement officers, whether they walk a beat, patrol in a vehicle or guard a courthouse, took an oath to God almighty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.  In effect, those who carry out the illicit dictates of the Marxists rabble, are traitors who have violated that sacred oath.

There is always another side of the COVID-19 story... It is you!  And me!  If we allow these new-world-order criminals to carry out their destructive agenda, then we are the enemy, because we will be complicit by our silence and inaction!

Resist!

Pray for strength and honor!!

The Lunacy Of KILLING The Death Penalty...

 They're at it again!  

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) -- comprised, mostly, of modernist/liberal democrat sympathizers, have once again called on the Trump administration to cease all federal executions.  In essence, this would mean killing the death penalty in America (pun intended).  

Their reasoning?  They claim that capital punishment is not necessary to protect society.  Did you get that?   That claim bears repeating: they say that capital punishment is not necessary to protect society!

Not only is this complete lunacy on the part of these "bishops," it flies in the face of what the Catholic Church has taught for millennia: that the state has a right to protect the commonweal (the welfare of the public) from heinous murderers and the like.

In addition to protecting the commonweal, there is the incentive for the convicted felon who knows that his life will shortly end, to repent and come back to the Natural Law (engraved on the hearts of every human that is born into the world) and, especially, Christ, his Maker.  Without this incentive, and, with the possibility of parole, he sees little to convince him to change his ways and get back on the straight and narrow road that leads to the heavenly beatitude. 

If one was to follow the "logic" of the USCCB, and apply it to Christ, then Our Lord, would not, and could not, have been crucified by the Jews after Pilate washed his hands of the entire matter.  

Remember, Our Lord told Pilate that he (Pilate) would have no power over Him if it wasn't given to him by His Father, indicating that the state authorities do have the power to impose harsh penalties, up to and including the taking of the life of the malefactor.  

I find it interesting and terribly ironic, that most of these very same bishops refuse to condemn "Catholic" politicians for their outright and radical support for abortion -- the killing of the pre-born! 

Here is an excerpt from their statement and plea to President Trump: “The death penalty is not necessary to protect society. It is not necessary to hold people accountable for grave crimes,” they declare. “The decision not to execute someone, even someone who has done something terrible, is not ‘soft on crime’; rather, it is strong on the dignity of life.”  

Except the pre-born???

Hypocrites!!

And folks wonder why what passes for the Catholic Church in America is in such dire straits: homosexual "priests," "bishops," "cardinals," "popes," rabid sexual abuse of the innocent, failure to ex-communicate the likes of Biden, Pelosi and their ilk, not to mention idolatry...  What a disastrous message this sends to the rest of the world, not to mention also a confused and scandalized laity...

Sure, I'll put my trust and obedience in the cabal known as the USCCB!  Like hell, I will...

Pray for strength and honor!!

Dignity: The State Or Quality Of Being Worthy Of Honor Or Respect.

 And, a sense of pride in oneself; self-respect...

I Ask: do these two definitions fit those reporters; those journalists that report the "news" in the mainstream media?  

Can you trust that their reporting is fair and unbiased?  

It has become quite clear that the answer is absolutely not.  

The attacks on the President of the United States, Donald Trump, over the past four years -- even when he first considered running for the highest office in the land back in 2015 -- have been non-stop.  If their theories were correct about collusion with Communist Russia, or that he conspired to establish a quid-pro-quo with Ukrainian officials in some way, that would be one thing.  Then, nearly all those "journalists" jumped on the impeachment band-wagon, supporting wholeheartedly, the unrelenting attempt of the deep-state and the corrupt Democratic congressmen (and women) to remove a duly elected president from office, in a coup d'état.

The grand irony of all these attacks on Mr. Trump, is that the very ones doing the attacking are the ones committing the treasonous acts, not the president!   But this is right out of the Marxist playbook where there is little or no chance -- at least not in the mainstream media -- to get a fair shake in the court of public opinion...

Of course, another clear indication of the hypocrisy of the leftist media is the free-pass given to the actual perpetrator of high crimes and misdemeanors, and, as part of those crimes, an actual quid-pro-quo that Biden and his cronies (including his son, Robert Hunter) was bold enough to state in a video for all to see and hear!!

I titled this short article -- Dignity: the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect, along with the second definition: a sense of pride in oneself; self-respect... 

Sorry, I don't hear anything from those reporters that even hints at fairness or self-respect.  On the contrary, they don't even try to hide their bias and their disdain for the president.  Moreover, they despise tradition and moral values, and, most importantly, disrespecting the dignity of pre-born children!

What to make of all the voting and election fraud now plastered all over the TV and Internet?  Another coup d'état is unfolding right before our eyes, with fraudulent vote counts, as well as incredible numbers of votes that magically appeared overnight when you and I went to bed!  Nearly ALL those newly-found votes were for Biden; that is a statistical impossibility!   Without fair and unbiased elections, our beloved country will sink to the level of the Socialists/Marxist hellholes that pass for nation-states...

We must continue to pray for our President Trump and for a true counting and reconciliation of the vote totals, if that is done, he will continue to be in the Oval Office for the next four years...

Pray for strength and honor -- dignity and self-respect!

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