FROM Downtrend.com:

The media has exploded with tales of white Trump supporters, emboldened by his election, doing all sorts of horrible racist things to minorities. They don’t quite report as vigorously when these stories turn out to be hoaxes, but that’s understandable, as it doesn’t fit their liberal agenda. The latest Trump-related hate crime to fall apart involves a black women who said white Trumpites threatened to kill her.

PhillyVoice reports that black woman Ashley Boyer claimed 4 white men brandished a gun with a death threat at a gas station in Smyrna, Delaware following Trump’s election. In a now-deleted FaceBook post she recounted this terrible hate crime …

Some recent hate crime hoaxes and suspected hoaxes are listed at Reddit.com. And here’s a researcher who says the government has gotten into the hate crime business too: Read More »

ELLEN BROWN, author of Web of Debt and The Public Bank Solution, writes:

In Donald Trump’s victory speech after the presidential election, he vowed:

We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none. And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it.

It sounds great; but as usual, the devil is in the details. Both parties in Congress agree that infrastructure is desperately needed. The roadblock is in where to find the money. Raising taxes and going further into debt are both evidently off the table. The Trump solution is touted as avoiding those options, but according to his economic advisors, it does this by privatizing public goods, imposing high user fees on the citizenry for assets that should have been public utilities.

Raise taxes, add to the federal debt, privatize – there is nothing new here. The president-elect  needs another alternative; and there is one, something he is evidently open to. In May 2016, when challenged over the risk of default from the mounting federal debt, he said, “You never have to default, because you print the money.” The Federal Reserve has already created trillions of dollars for the 1% by just printing the money. The new president could create another trillion for the majority of the 99% who elected him.

Thank you for your dedicated efforts to spread truth and common sense. I have learned a great deal from your site.

We can kiss goodbye to the notion that our public libraries can be trusted to protect the innocence of our children. I found this notice in the latest issue of “Ames Living,” a magazine dedicated to promoting local business and events from a typical Midwestern college town in Iowa.

“One special event offered to teens in November is the Teen Drag Show. Teens ages 14 through 20 are welcome to strut their stuff at the library’s drag show on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. They can come to perform or just to enjoy the show, food and mingling. To sign up for the show or get more details, teens can go to www.amespubliclibrary.org.”

A “Christian” writer divorces her husband of 14 years and falls in love with an androgynous soccer star. Other “Christian” inspirational writers fall like dominoes in the rush to legitimize what I can only call the latest rage!  Not to restrict this to Christian writers, however, the 24-year old granddaughter of my sort-of conservative neighbor across the driveway gets married to her girlfriend who, coincidentally, has the same androgynous first name of Jordan.  Isn’t that cute?  Two attractive girls, no less.

FROM AN article at the Townsend Newsletter by Allison Siebecker on the importance of broth, which is both medicine and food:

Broth, made from the bones of animals, has been consumed as a source of nourishment for humankind throughout the ages. It is a traditional remedy across cultures for the sick and weak. A classic folk treatment for colds and flu, it has also been used historically for ailments that affect connective tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract, the joints, the skin, the lungs, the muscles and the blood. Broth has fallen out of favor in most households today, probably due to the increased pace of life that has reduced home cooking in general. Far from being old-fashioned, broth (or stock) continues to be a staple in professional and gourmet cuisine, due to its unsurpassed flavor and body. It serves as the base for many recipes including soup, sauces and gravy. Broth is a valuable food and a valuable medicine, much too valuable to be forgotten or discounted in our modern times with our busy ways and jaded attitudes. Read More »

FROM Wayne Madsen via Zero Hedge:

Defeated Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is not about to «go quietly into that good night». On the morning after her surprising and unanticipated defeat at the hands of Republican Party upstart Donald Trump, Mrs. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, entered the ball room of the art-deco New Yorker hotel in midtown Manhattan and were both adorned in purple attire. The press immediately noticed the color and asked what it represented. Read More »

LET’S think a little more about this issue, which is adding fuel to anti-Trump street protests. From Minutemen News yesterday:

Looking at this morning’s numbers – the vote between Clinton and Trump is 395,595.   But, that’s not the end of the story.   The current reality is – if you factor in the votes for the other candidates on the ballot – more people voted against Hillary Clinton than voted for her.  The votes are still being counted, so who knows what the finally tally will be.  But, according to the numbers, as of this morning, 65,919,611 people voted NOT to elect Hillary Clinton as president.   That number exceeds the votes collected for her by almost 5.5 million people.

And, of course, since voter identification is not required we can never be confident in the vote tallies. Read More »

Mother Caressing Her Convalescant Daughter, Charles Wilson Peale; 1818

FROM an essay by Sister Paulette Huber, Ad.PP.S.:

Tremendous, then, is the mother’s power to determine the tenor of the home. Tremendous, too, is the dignity and nobility that has its enhancement in this power. For, the high mystical character of motherhood is inextricably interwoven with the mother’s ability to sublimate the domestic peace and tranquility which she, more than anyone else, has the gift to fabricate. Her tender, maternal love-instinct, upon which the supernatural is built, is the all-pervading transforming power. It strengthens and fortifies, refines and elevates the natural blessedness of the family circle. This truth is strikingly pointed out by Pius XII. “When,” he says, “to the bride the Lord in His bounty will have granted the dignity of motherhood to the side of the cradle, the crying of the infant will neither lessen nor destroy the felicity of the home; but rather it will increase and elevate it into that divine circle, where the heavenly angels shine and whence descends a ray of life that conquers nature and regenerates the sons of men into sons of God” (Ibid.).

Trump wasn’t exactly Francis’ favored candidate. We remember especially the brilliant comment Francis made in February of this year about Trump’s expressed intent to build a wall at the border to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the United States from Mexico:

Francis: Building Walls is “Not Christian”

The great irony here was, of course, that Francis himself, dwelling in Vatican City, lives behind what are perhaps the entire world’s biggest walls surrounding any country.

So, how will the “build the wall” president-elect and the hypocritical “tear down all walls” Pope-pretender get along?
