The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
.png)
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Chetek) 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice.
3) No, you may not run with sharp objects. Dull ones? Feeling lucky?
4) Have a great weekend!
God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next. Amen.

I think praying for everybody is probably a suitable substitute.
At the very least, we can express gratitude, petition to increase wisdom, safety and faith.
That could keep each of busy for a while.

I've prayed for you all this morning, list or no.
Bless those of you who are fighting serious illnesses, who are seeking employment, who are estranged from their families, who are caring for other family members, who despair, who are defending our nation, and who spread joy and positivity wherever you go.

The Horde features prominently in my daily devotions, though someone eavesdropping might wonder why I am praying for "morons."
My wife and I have been battling through some health issues that are more inconvenient than life-threatening at this point (though if ignored, things go could south quickly) and we are both seeing steady improvement. I am certain that prayer is helping us heal, and thank all of you.

Taught at a Catholic school for over 20 yrs , raised three beautiful daughters and had eight grandchildren. She babysat me in my first couple of years if my life and then helped me when I got ill a few years back. RIP Judy

My father drove up from Detroit and spent time with us on Thanksgiving, eating entirely too much and red-lining his blood sugar, but he called yesterday and said "no worries, back to normal."
It is a blessing to have him still alive and kicking at 83, and we talk just about every other day about things. He's very chatty now, and his lost his old stoic reserve, especially around his great-grandkids. He did doze off in the comfy chair after his meal, which we took for a compliment.

My point was if there was an A or B choice 24 years ago on how to spend that money, the powers that be chose incorrectly.
And now every sane person in Western civilization realizes that these people hate us and are not worthy of any of our blood or treasure. The answer now is deport and ban. Every single one of them. Period.

I'm looking at the Preamble to the US Constitution. Our cuntry's Mission Statement and Social Compact.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Its like the "shall not be infringed" to the sane and normal person the phrase "to ourselves and our Posterity" seems very clear and concise.
To the reprobate though, the opposite is true.

Notice the press and the usual suspects are into the “The afghani terrorist is the real victim here”. That is leftist SOP.
The perpetrators get all the press. Nobody can name the victim that Huey Newton killed. The victims don’t matter. The Narrative is what matters. They would have to admit, hey, maybe the police have a point, maybe we should support the police. That will never do.
They would have to admit they are wrong. And they will never do that. “Your death before their dishonor”
That’s how you get them making these lunatic arguments. Our local rag never mentions the victim but in a cursory manner. Never any photographs, for obvious reasons. Mugshots are also “problematic” too you see.
News stories are basically information free. “Somebody did something. Police are seeking the public’s help.” Fucking clown world.

After Mom died, the family became aware that the Old Man was slipping into dementia (she had been able to hide what was happening to my brother and I). We had to put him in in nursing home simply because he required daily monitoring and care.
We visited him frequently. The Old Man and I became much closer (we were never estranged -- just too much alike: both Type A personalities that were frequently correct, but lacking in tact) after Mom died. I gradually became aware that it was actually a gift from God.

Hungary, and some of the other small states in Central Europe. I think the Czechs decided to loosen firearms laws so that they could be a 'nation in arms' and I think Poland is doing this as well.
Regarding the rest, the game isn't even close to being over. Quite the contrary, it's just getting started. People are finally realizing that the Establishment hates them, really, honestly hates them, wants them dead and replaced by ill-mannered serfs. This is quite shocking, and lots of people are still in denial, but the masks are falling.

The correlation of forces is against them and the imbalance is only getting stronger. The Seditious 6 was a desperation move, pushed out without proper media preparation or a good predicate for the instructions.
Making matters worse, the Dem commentariat can't stop itself from going overboard, so now they are ramping up the language the point of committing overt acts, rather than dancing on the line.

Grok summary: https://bit.ly/48n45q5
Lived with his wife (described by neighbors as hijab-wearing) and five children, the oldest around 14. Some reports mention two nephews also in the household. He has a brother in the U.S.
Employment
Unemployed at the time of the incident. Sources indicate he was unable to secure work due to an expired employment authorization (work permit), despite prior U.S. collaboration in Afghanistan. Neighbors described him as a "simple and nice guy" who was job-hunting.
Apartment
A sparse, bare unit in a subsidized complex (likely via HUD or refugee assistance programs prioritizing Afghans). No beds—family slept on couch cushions or the floor.

I do wish they would try to keep up. I claim no special aptitude or intelligence here, I’m just an ignorant rube mouth breather out here in flyover Jesus Land and even I could figure it out.

Bat shit crazy, basically. Paranoid. He had a thing that people were trying to poison his food. He trusted his wife, but nobody else's. Also, worried about somebody piping poison gas in the house, so he tended to keep windows open in the dead of winter night...
His wife actually outlived him. But, she had a stroke, and was hospitalized for several months. He starved to death during that time. The coroner listed the cause of death as "malnutrition and inanition caused by personality disturbance".

If you want to read something funny, read about Kurt Godel's citizenship hearing. Einstein and another guy sponsored him. Back then, to get in this country permanently, you needed Albert Fucking Einstein vouching for you.
Anyway, Godel, being batshit crazy, went off ranting to the judge that he found a logical flaw in the US Constitution. Einstein and the other guy did face palms, but the judge was just amused. "Boy, these mathematical geniuses are sure nuts, aren't they".
Godel ranted he would prove that logical flaw, but no record of it exists. When Godel said he could prove something, by George, he usually did.

Sometimes one cannot take the straight path. We see this all the time. Things happen in a particular order. It works that way for people, and also for nations.
The important thing to remember is that God wins in the end. Christ has already won the victory, and we are in the follow-up phase of the war.
I keep reminding people that wars are often at their worst when the decision is no longer in doubt, and the defeated side has nothing but pure anger and despair to fuel them. Sometimes they surrender, but not until all that wrath and pride is burned away.

This is what I am talking about. Let's say that the order is in fact illegal. Okay, so what? Airman Snuffy up in Anchorage has nothing to do with it. Is he supposed to refuse duty until the president does what he wants?
Has anyone made a legal finding? If they do, how do they differentiate this from Obama and Dubya using drones?
It's a desperation move and it leaves them very vulnerable.
One other thing - officers think very differently from enlisted because they have much more freedom of action. An officer in extremis can resign their commission. Enlisted men cannot. They can request separation but may not unilaterally quit. You will sometimes see them "resigning" but they need permission to do that. Even retirement can be blocked (mine was twice).
So these people are NOT speaking to the vast majority of the troops, and examples will be made and the media will ignore them, but the troops will all be talking about it.

Posted by: Skip
Skip, I just read this so maybe you'll see my reply here.
If you can't figure out a way to get to a Standard Definition channel for TCM, they do have an app for SmartTVs/Roku and Tablets/PCs that you can use to watch live or video-on-demand.
It's called "Watch TCM" and is available on the Google Play Store, Apple Store and on the specific app stores on SmartTVs.
https://www.tcm.com/watchtcm
Click on "Link TV Provider" at the top then "View All TV Providers" at the bottom of the pop-up for the full list and see if your provider is on there. If they are, click on it and you login with your same credentials as for your cable/internet provider.
You'll have to do that for each device you install the app on but it will remember your credentials for awhile once you do.
They have live High-Definition East & West feeds on the app in the "Live TV" section, plus you can stream any movies they are playing that day/week/month.

While we're at it, just a reminder that there is no contemporaneous proof that Mohammed ever existed. When the Arab raiders conquered Syria and Persia, they didn't bother to update the coinage until much later, after Islam was actually developed as its own religion. When the conquest started, it was a Christian heresy.

No, it is not. There is a difference between veneration and worship.
You might want to ponder why Protestanism is actually the minority portion of Christianity. There are more Catholics and Eastern Orthodox through-out the world. Both Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox venerate the saints.

There’s some very subtle foreshadowing in that parable that many miss.
“30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
V 30 is the rich man’s relatives, and quite clearly means the religious establishment of the day, who are ignoring “Moses and the Prophets.”
Not hard to see who One who rises from the dead is going to be.

There's an interesting new series on Apple TV titled- "Pluribus".
It's from the same guy that did "Breaking Bad"
Slight Spoiler: It starts out as happy fun "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" but is getting progressively darker as the main character learns more.
Very cleverly written as you might expect. Well-acted and directed.
Minimal plot stupidity which would get into major spoilers so I won't discuss them.
Minor downside in that the main character is a lesbian but they honestly have really made much of it and it doesn't really affect things so far.
Well worth giving a view.

Both Saints Nicholas and Athanasius (he was Nicholas's deacon, if I recall correctly) are in my personal litany of the saints. I also selected Athanasius as part of my religious name in the Lay Fraternity of St. Dominic.

With Catholics, this is done at Confirmation, which typically happens at age 12 or so, but can happen at adult confirmations.
The idea is to pick a saint whose virtues and life you want to emulate and be inspired by.
Easy enough as a kid to make a choice, but as a 29+er it actually seems more challenging.
If today, you were asked, what saint or historical figure (if you don't hold with saints) would you pick to be an inspiration for you daily?

Gen-X here (1976). I went the opposite way. Raised Catholic. Stopped going to church when I went to college (college didn't cause it, I would have stopped going earlier had I not been forced to go by parents). Still considered myself Christian through my 20s or so. But over the last 10-15 years or so of numerous life experiences, religion just doesn't make sense to me anymore.
I won't get into the details, since people either have faith and believe or they don't.

Speaking of TLM, I went to one a couple of weeks ago. It was sparsely attended, but the singing and the mass itself were lovely. The biggest downside for me was the church itself. It was very modern and even the stained glass was abstract. It took a lot away from the experience.

Absolutely. It was so nice for about 15+ years after I moved here to Michigan in 1999 when Ohio State was dominating Michigan. I did not have to listen to my insufferable Michigan fan friends talk shit all the time.
From 2001 to 2019, OSU went 17-2 vs UM. Loved it. Even though I am not an OSU alum. Purdue alum. But when UM fans and alums looked down their noses at me since I was a Purdue grad, I became an Ohio State fan out of spite.
After 19 years of dominance, last 4 seasons have sucked.
Back around 2008 or so, I pulled up behind a car decked out in OSU stuff. License plate read "WEOWNUM". Brought a smile to my face.

Late Boomer, myself. I admit to tiring of the Novus Ordo Mass. The only reason I have not left my NO parish is because of Mrs. Cop: she's become very active with the Women's Prayer Group there and (as a Protestant convert) the Tredentine Latin Mass is very foreign to her.
My 15-year-old grandson converted to Catholicism and is very devout. He just came back from the National Catholic Youth Conference. One of his aunts mentioned to Mrs. Cop on how much he has matured.
I noticed that he was wearing his Crucifix and religious medals outside he shirt at the family Thanksgiving. Previously, he would only wear them visible at Mass, and usually wore them under his shirt. I always were my Cross of St. Dominic (symbol of my Lay Faternity) outside my shirt when in public.

This is a simplification but not by much.
The USSR was the first to officially recognize Israeli statehood, as they were big on "self-determination by Moscow" for every developing nation, and the Zionists had socialist tendencies, so it was predicted in Moscow that they'd duly fall into the Party line.
This didn't materialize - over the next 20 years, Israel slowly but surely drifted into the American sphere - this was never forgiven by the Left, and as the USSR shifted toward the Arabs permanently, so did their American useful idiots.

Grok summary:
You're correct. There is no credible historical evidence that George Washington ever converted to Catholicism, either on his deathbed or at any other point in his life.
The story of a supposed deathbed conversion to Catholicism originates from a single, highly dubious source: a 19th-century account published decades after Washington's death by a Catholic priest named Charles Wharton, who claimed that a former slave or servant allegedly witnessed a priest administering last rites to Washington. This story was later embellished in Catholic publications, but it has been thoroughly debunked by historians.
Key facts that refute the claim:

If you can find it online, Rumpole of the Bailey (first a series of books by former barrister John Mortimer then later a BBC series) is a comedy based on the life of a barrister who practices criminal law as a defense counsel.
The book series and the BBC series (before woke productions) are trenchant, politically incorrect, and funny. Books are mostly compilations of short stories of Rumpole representing various clients while navigating his Inn of Court collection of barristers and life with the formidable Hilda Rumpole. TV series authentically brings them to life.

There is a train of thought that the Northern European liberal thought came in part from the need to reconsider the traditional political order in the 1500's against the more egalitarian Indian societies encountered during the Age of Discovery and the political instability of the traditional kingships, however that ignores the Italian states' and the Scandinavian and German states' political history of Things, democracies, Circles, and clan consensus building.
