“THE attitude of a religious man towards the acts by which he acknowledges God to be God, is quite different according as those acts are internal or external. It is principally in the internal acts, the acts by which he believes, hopes and loves, that man’s good consists and what makes man good in God’s sight. Whence it is written, The kingdom of God is within you (Luke xvii. 21). Man’s good and what makes man good in God’s sight does not, principally, consist in external acts. The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, says St. Paul (Rom. xv. 17).”

“It’s hard to believe that not that long ago men could joke about women without being sued”, you wrote.

I will testify that there was such a time. Consider the teenage girls who carried army cots, magazines, tangerines, coffeepots, watermelons, TV sets, potato chips, and electric fans in their purse.

Did they beat up on Paul Petersen for singing about them in 1962’s “She Can’t Find Her Keys?” They did not. They laughed along with everyone else.

(Lyrics for She Can’t Find Her Keys by Paul Petersen – Songfacts)

THE 1959 hit song, “I Got a Wife,” was recorded by the American musical ensemble Mark IV. Set to a catchy polka, it reminds me of all the times I have “gibbered” my husband, especially on Saturdays.

Needless to say, this would never be a hit today, not just because it’s not lewd. You could probably be arrested for singing it. It’s hard to believe that not that long ago men could joke about women without being sued. It’s hard to believe there once was a time when even women had a sense of humor.

Annie Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst, c. 1908 (Wikipedia)

“WOMEN, I contend, are not men’s equals in anything but responsibility. We are not their inferiors, either, or even their superiors. We are quite simply different races. We live by an impulse separate from that of men. A separate tide beats in our blood. Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working-out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point. Yet, for the first time in history, society takes no cognizance of it.”

— Phyllis McGinley, “The Honor of Being a Woman,” The Province of the Heart; Viking Press, 1959, pp 13-14

“A GREAT SECRET for preserving peace of heart is to do nothing with over-eagerness, but to act always calmly, without trouble or disquiet. We are not asked to do much, but to do well. At the Last Day, God will not examine if we have performed a multitude of works, but if we have sanctified our souls in doing them. Now, the means of sanctifying ourselves is to do everything for God and to do perfectly whatever we have to do. The works that have as their motive vanity or selfishness make us neither better nor happier, and we shall receive no reward for them.”

— Rev. F.X. Lasance, Kindness,  The Bloom of Charity; St. Bonaventure Publications, 2005; p. 35.

Fear contained in the news can rule your life. I look back and see that often nothing happened except that I took care of my home and family with one eye on the news, and a divided heart!!! A lot of women will regret the time spent on all this drama.

“Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear — kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor — with the cry of grave national emergency… Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.”

Helene Schjerfbeck, The Neck of a Little Girl

“‘ONE of the hardest parts of this,’ said Senator Elizabeth Warren, her voice shaking as she announced the end of her campaign on Thursday, ‘is all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years. That’s going to be hard.'” (Source)

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read. And it shows why Elizabeth Warren could not win. She’s out of touch with reality. Anyone who thinks eight-year-olds really care about politics is dumb.

Most little girls dream of being un-elected princesses. If not that, they’d like to be housewives pushing baby carriages and reigning  over their own domestic kingdoms. If you asked most girls, which would you rather do when you grow up: spend your days filling out a lot of paperwork at a desk, shaking hands with other people who spend their days filling out a lot of paperwork at desks, and making decisions that will make you unpopular OR marry a man you love, take care of little babies, clean, cook, and make curtains for a little home, there would be no question, the latter would be the answer. However, it is true, that if little girls are told or given the impression that being a president is a matter of wearing nice clothes, waving to nice people and having your picture taken, they may prefer the former.

Thanks to political agitators like Liz, who is nothing but a traitor to the true interests of the female sex, many of them will end up as employed drudges with broken families and women presidents. Perhaps the lie of progress will help them forget their dreams.

THIS VIDEO seems intended to induce fear and panic. I am sorry for those who have fallen ill, but the way this virus has been orchestrated suggests a political agenda.

AMERICA’S FOUNDERS wanted separation of church and state for the new federal entity they created. Little did they know, with their mischievous “enlightenment” values, that they were paving the way for synagogue and state.

Here is Brother Nathanael at his best on the “Religion of Bernie Sanders.” Of course, the religion of Bernie Sanders is similar, though more overtly tribal, to the religion of Donald Trump. And whatever support among Jews that Bernie Sanders gets, let’s remember that Donald’s top supporters are Jews too.

A READER writes from Northern Ireland:

I am never in a rush to believe anything that emanates from communist China, so I was never convinced about the seriousness of this coronavirus (assuming it exists, and I remain dubious about the whole matter.) It seems that virtually the entire world is being sucked in to the mass hysteria juggernaut. Why are people so quick to believe the media and world governments and the WHO? I refuse to go along with the madness and I will remain skeptical and doubting until there is proof that the virus exists, and even if it does exist, it does not appear to cause alarming symptoms and I cannot understand how some people have (supposedly) died as a result of being infected with it. People walking about in masks looks highly suspect to me and I fear that we are all being manipulated and taken for fools by dark forces somewhere in the world.

NOTE: This entry includes a shocking image that proves the coronavirus is real. If you are sensitive, please do not look! Read More »

THIS frightening image (many apologies if it upsets you) is all you need to know about the coronavirus. People in face masks!! It’s a nightmare come true!

The cheap and easily attainable face mask is an indispensable prop. When whipping up hysteria and fear of a global pandemic, you don’t have to offer any hard, independently-verified proof that thousands have died or that the virus even exists, you just have to show pictures of people in hospital masks, even though, according to the surgeon general, the mask doesn’t even protect against the virus. Images of technicians in laboratories and a few empty streets in China help too.

We see no death or suffering, but the mask tells us all we need to know. The American economy is going to go into a tailspin. Millions of us are going to die. Brave scientists and selfless pharmaceutical manufacturers are going to work around the clock developing a vaccine and further cementing in our minds that we really need drugs to live. We’re going to have to rely a lot on the government to keep things in control — and we’ll have to stay glued to the screen for regular updates of the made-for-tv reality show, “The Virus,” which stars people in masks and latex gloves.

If you’re not afraid, look at some of the real evidence of what awaits us —  masks. They’ll make us look like robots — and show that we basically distrust each other. But that’s okay. Being a human being, with that terrible burden of thinking in a germ-filled cosmos, was over-rated anyway. Read More »

RUSS WINTER writes at Winter Watch:

Sex obsession, including porn, makes one a receptive medium for occult influence.

And for those who call us “prude,” let’s be very clear of what we are talking about. It’s no longer your granddad’s Playboy magazine soft porn. Today, there’s heavy emphasis on sodomy, another centerpiece of this black magik. They start children young with programs like Drag Queen Story Hour and a push toward pedophilia.

Watch the abuse of a young girl – all the while with an inverted twisted message on the wall that says “Love”. This scene produces a state in which the mind is pliant enough to have certain ideas implanted: ideas which resist a great deal of counter-influence.

To the modern mind, it is never enough that a thing be what it is. The modern do-gooder is going to make it over into “fun” for everybody. A pleasant restaurant is never enough; it must be made into “fun” for children. An art museum, historical exhibit, or planetarium are never enough; they must be made into “fun” for the bored. A library containing the wisdom of the ages is never enough; it must be made into a fun house for everyone. Children’s remarkable capacity for learning is never enough; learning must be made into “fun.”

To shop for groceries in a supermarket is never enough; it must be made into a “fun” experience with clerks and cashiers frozen in perpetual smiles and fun “music” blasting from speakers that are beyond any known earthly power to turn off.

I was standing on the platform at a Metro Link train station on the St. Louis riverfront when I noticed a sign advertising the St. Louis Science Center and Planetarium. “We specialize in making science fun!” the sign proclaimed. That was a year ago. Today the sign has been modified to read “We put the element of FUN into science!”

The mindset that we see here has nothing to do with science, or with learning, or with life.  It has to do with a certain incapacity to appreciate the world. It has to do with bombast, sales, and marketing.  Such people have not the slightest interest in encouraging anyone to learn about science.  Such people are shills and hucksters who would box and market the sky, the moon, and the stars if they could.  They would reduce those things to a circus of gimmicks, thrills, sensations, and contrived “hands-on” push-button FUN! for children.

WHY doesn’t Greta Thunberg ever mention the very obvious aerosol spraying program that is going on over our heads? Her handlers must know about it. You only have to look up to see.

Here is a ten-minute preview of the 2010 documentary What in the World Are They Spraying by Paul Wittenberger that examines the issue. Where I live, there has been almost constant spraying during the past six months.

DID you know the worst mass shooting in Wisconsin’s history took place last week? Probably not. Perhaps that’s because it wasn’t committed by a “white supremacist.”

Christians for Truth reports:

The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of mass shooters in America today are Black and other assorted ‘people of color’, but the jewish-controlled mainstream media doesn’t want you to know that.

But Jews would like you to think that it doesn’t matter if they do indeed control the media.  Here’s why it does matter:

It is official policy that all ‘gun-related’ violence in America is caused by White men, or even better, ‘White supremacists‘.  And any mass shootings by Blacks literally ‘don’t count’.

Needless to say, had this been a White shooter, his identity and picture would plaster every news headline in America, but because he was Black, his ‘identity was not immediately released’, and pictures of him are literally buried.

“EXTRA Ecclesiam Nulla Salus,” or “Outside the Church There Is No Salvation,” is a highly controversial and detested dogma of the Catholic Church. It is often misunderstood. Some distort it in the direction of flexibility and others toward rigidity.

For those who would like to grasp this important doctrine quickly and easily, I recommend the lucid and unimpeachable article, Questions And Answers on Salvation, written by the Rev. Michael Müller, C.SS.R. in 1875. It is taken from his longer work Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine, of the same year, which has the imprimatur of the then Archbishop of Baltimore and the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith.

There is enough here to console even those whom Fr. Müller offends and to dispel much confusion.

Q. Is it then right for us to say that one who was not received into the Church before his death, is damned?

A. No.

Q. Why not?

A. Because we cannot know for certain what takes place between God and the soul at the awful moment of death. Read More »
