4) Have a nice weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.
Prayer Requests:
1/18 – Jrgunn77 requested prayers for health, which was fine a few months ago, but recently has been his with extremely high BP spikes, anxiety attacks, constant headaches, and hernia troubles. Jrgunn is on meds for the BP and anxiety, scheduled for a colonoscopy, and has referrals for a cardiologist and neurologist. These out of the blue anxieties are the worst. Jrgunn also asked for prayers for a friend from church, Rodney, who has recently suffered lung failure and is on oxygen, to come home from the hospital, and Pastor Ben and his brother, for comfort after the passing of their little sister from drug addiction. 3/8 Update – Pneumonia has cleared, and the neurologist is treating him for Parkinsonian tremor. The CT scan showed 3 hernias. The BP, head pressure, and physical strength is better and he was able to work a couple of hours. Rodney is awake, but has intestinal bleeding. They are still waiting for test results, and if they are bad, he will be knocked off the transplant list. He’s still on 100% oxygen. 3/8 Update – Lester Fahrner posted that BP spikes and anxiety needs lab and urine tests for carcinoid tumor and pheochromocytoma. 3/15 Update – Rodney was placed on the official transplant list on 3/12. On 3/15, he received donor lungs during a 14 hour surgery. Now prayers are for his recovery and for God’s provision for the avalanche of medical bills.
1/31 – Bif Bewalski gave an update on Smash. The blood work confirmed that she does not have pancreatitis. They gave her fluids, 3 types of digestive system meds via IV, and then ignored her for 8 hours. Anyway, she is home and feeling better. 3/22 Update – They are going to run an upper GI series of tests to confirm whether a previous surgery has allowed fluid to settle onto the upper stomach, causing all the issues. Then Smash got the flu, which turned into pneumonia. On the mend now.
3/1 – antisocial justice beatnik would appreciate some prayers for Mom, who is continuing to suffer terribly from a botched medical procedure back in mid-Dec. Mom was rushed from her rehab facility to ER on 2/28, then back to the hospital that botched her care in Dec. Antisocial justice beatnik and Dad are doing their best to support her and each other, but Dad has his own existing medical issues to worry about, and AJB’s FMLA is running out. 4/5 Update – Mom has not made much (if any) rehab progress. While her current facility is much better about pain management, her bed sore pain remains a major impediment. On the plus side, her bed sore is slowly improving and doctors have decided she no longer required antibiotics for osteomyelitis. She’ll soon be transferred to yet another facility for rehab. Antisocial justice beatnick is planning to take up the DOD “Deferred Resignation Program”, which will allow for continued care for the parents while figuring out what to do for a new career.
3/1 - thefritz requests prayers for his friend Jeff, his wife, and two children. Jeff’s pancreatic cancer has spread to his liver. They have stopped chemo and moved him to home hospice. 3/17 Update – Jeff succumbed to pancreatic cancer on 3/16. Please pray for his wife and two grown children.
3/8 – Misanthropic Humanitarian offered a prayer. “Dear Father, Thank you for sparing Donald J. Trump’s life in Butler, PA. Thank you for a President who loves his country and is trying to do everything he can to improve our citizens lives. We often come to you with our troubles and not to you as often as we should when we should be thankful. We pray through Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.”
3/8 - Tonypete asked for prayers for K and Mr. X. K started dating Mr. X, and he is a very nice gentleman, but he mentions his late wife in every other sentence. It’s starting to wear on K.
3/8 – Ben Had asked for continued prayers for AZ deplorable as he works to get his strength back. 3/22 Update – AZ deplorable moron reports that he is on the mend after the stroke. His left side is still not up to snuff, but he is working on it. Thank you all for your prayers.
3/8 – Retired Buckeye Cop asked for prayers for his younger brother, J. He has been a police officer at a local Catholic university for 26 years. Due to internal politics, the police chief has informed J that his position (Captain) is being phased out as of 6/30 and he needs to seek employment elsewhere. May J find a new job soon.
3/8 – Piper asked for prayers for a close friend who has breast cancer. It’s already at stage 3 when it was discovered. She has chemo, surgery, and radiation coming up. She is a mom, with a son age 12. Her husband is being a trooper, but it’s hard.
3/8 – Cosda posted good news. Two years ago, we prayed for a sister who had colon cancer and was undergoing surgery and chemo. That was successful. On 3/7, her checkup showed that she was still cancer free. Thank you for the prayers and thank God for the healing.
3/13 – Teresa in Fort Worth’s health continues to improve with her cancer treatments. Her CA19-9 results continue to go down, which is great news.
3/15 – Grammie Winger updated that Rev is still weak, but he is eating and his spirits are good.
3/15 – Fenelon Spoke requested prayers for the daughter of their beloved, retired, organist. The daughter is a dear woman on her second bout of cancer and is having treatments. Thanks so much!
3/15 – Smell the glove sent thanks for the prayers. The aunt is doing well with her treatment for colon cancer.
3/15 – MkY asked for continued prayers for his wife, Judy, who was diagnosed with stage IV renal cancer 2 months ago. She is getting immunotherapy, along with another drug that is supposed to enhance immunotherapy. She is very weak, and they don’t know if the various issues she is having is due to the cancer(s) or the drugs. Probably both. In early April, she is due for another CT scan with contrast (which hurts). If the tumors have not shrunk, they will probably start alternative therapies.
3/20 – L asked for continued prayers for her daughter, Shannon. She is the Franciscan sister, who was traveling to Cleveland for surgery. The operation was a success! It involved replacement of two valves, and repair to aortic aneurysm. The surgery was 3/11, and she was released 3/18. She is staying with her aunt, a retired nurse, this week, and will go to her sister’s house for continued recovery next week. L and her husband have not seen her in person, since they came down with a bad flu, but have visited via a video call, and can see improvement. L sends her thanks for the prayers. Shannon appreciated it, L appreciated it, and it helped keep them all calmer.
3/22 – Eromero could use prayers. He was in ICU with double pneumonia, but is improving and out of ICU now. He is on a pegtube the rest of his life. 3/29 Update – Eromero sent his thanks for the prayers. He is in p/t, o/t, and eating real food, though mashed unrecognizable. He expects to be in for another 7-10 days. He also asks for the Lot’d blessing on all here who need physical or spiritual healing.
3/22 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for her husband, because layoffs are expected at his company soon. 3/29 Update – Hubby is still working – the company laid off a bunch of employees but not him. He is hoping to hang on at least another year.
3/22 – screaming in digital got her mom moved into assisted living on Tuesday. There have been some rough spots, and no doubt will be more, but she is doing better than they dared hope. Many thanks for your prayers.
3/22 – J.J. Sefton posted that his latest MRI indicated no new tumor growth and the surgical wound is healing nicely. He took his final chemo pull last night, so fingers crossed, he thinks he is in the percentage of glioblastoma patients that ultimately outpace recurrence by greater than the expected timeframe. MRIs now every two months for the rest of his life. God bless you all for your prayers and kindness.
3/24 – FenelonSpoke requested prayers for a young friend, “C”, who was just in the hospital, probably for depression. Fen doesn’t have all the details yet. “C” has the intense job of being an addictions counselor and is a very bright, caring RC woman. She needs healing and the rough places made smooth. Thanks very much. 3/29 Update – Thanks so much for the prayers. “C” is out of the hospital and doing much better.
3/24 – Mister Ghost posted “Hospitals can kill you. Prayers are much better. I am stuck in a hospital in the Boston area for the 8th straight day and am starting to look like a concentration camp survivor. This is brutal and if there’s anyone who could say a prayer for me, I would be eternally grateful. Prayers carry a great deal of power. I’m not as sure about modern medicine….”
3/24 – Update on Jewell45. Her daughter posted an update, with approval to share: "Okay. Need to do a life update for mama. She hasn’t been doing so hot the last couple weeks. Like I said last month, the cancer has been spreading. She’s been declining quite a bit since then. Her energy level is very low and she’s struggling with breathing after the smallest tasks or even if shes talks too much. The decision has been made to transition to hospice care. I want to be clear here about a couple things. Number one, she is NOT in her final days although her oncologist estimates with how the cancer has progressed that she is probably down to several months, 6-9 maybe more. Number 2. She is up for visitors but not much. Please contact myself, dad or her first. She won’t last much longer than 15-20 minutes if you do stop by, so keep your expectations low. Other than that, continued prayers and good vibes are always appreciated. Much love to you all. If you have questions, feel free to contact me privately. This is obviously a difficult time as you can imagine but I’ll do my best."
3/24 – Ellipse (“…”asked to enlist the prayers of the amazing horde, for a good friend’s wife, who is in need of a rather sudden biopsy. 3/27 Update – They are waiting on results from a mass that was somehow missed last month on a mammogram. They are understandably very scared and won’t know until 3/31. She has other symptoms too. The kids are older but not grown.
3/27 – Cosda asked the Horde to keep his wife in their prayers. She recently had a mole removed from her thigh and the biopsy report came back this morning as melanoma cancer. They will be seeing an oncologist the week of 3/31.
3/27 – Sponge sent an update. “Thank you, all of you, for your thoughts and prayers for the First Lady during this ridiculously difficult journey the last several months. Your kind words and heartfelt prayers really made a difference for her and we're eternally grateful for it. God is great and we've crossed over what should be the final big hurdle in this battle. She's over the moon excited and is feeling incredibly blessed today. God Bless you all and thank you so very much.”
3/29 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for “C”, the father of a friend. “C” has to have a benign tumor removed, which is pressing on his spine and making walking difficult.
3/29 – neverenoughcaffeine had requests: 1. Baby Isaac is now at Seattle Children’s Hospital with additional issues. He’s 2 months old and has spent lots of time in hospitals. 2. Bonnie, who was just diagnosed with a cancerous nodule in her lung. Thankfully it hasn’t spread and immunotherapy will start when she receives the drug specifically tailored to her need. 3. Charlie, who suffered a nasty fall that broke his back and cracked his skull. Two brain bleeds have incapacitated him. He has a long road to recovery. 4/5 Update – 1. Nothing new on Baby Isaac. 3. Charlie is speaking, but not easily. He is hoping to return to his home in OH the week of 4/7. Your prayers have helped. Please keep them coming for Charlie, Isaac, and Bonnie. Thank you.
3/29 – FenelonSpoke requested prayers for “J”, the grown son of a friend who is back living with his parents. He is having some mental health issues and other unspecified problems. He needs healing and rough places made smooth. Thanks.
3/29 – Our Country is Screwed asked to be kept in our prayers as he starts his chemo regimen this week.
4/1 – Sock Monkey’s family experienced a tragedy, and needs prayers. His brother-in-law and friend chose to take his own life, in a moment of despair. Please pray for Sock Monkey’s sister-in-law, their 5 children, and their beautiful granddaughter, as they grieve.
4/5 – Quarter Twenty posted his appreciation for God’s peace through treatments and surgery on his right eye. He said God has provided abundantly! He has been working to memorize Hebrews 13:20 “Now the God of peace ….” 4/5 – Tonypete humbly requested prayers for his most recent grandson, who arrived early. He was 3 pounds plus a few ounces at birth. He and his Mom are doing well and Mom was discharged from the hospital. Baby boy will be staying at the NICU for a couple of months.
4/5 – John the River asked for prayers for a friend he’s never met, Michael, who was a visitor his blog. Michael is having serious cardiac issues.
4/5 – rhennigantx asked for prayers for his daughter. She has GI issues over pain and nerve damage drugs. She was kicked out of her PhD program by lying liars that said the email they sent her that said she could sit out a semester as the class she needed was not being taught, said that they never wrote that email.
4/5 – screaming in digital requested prayers for all the Horde in need.

Mis Hum-
I have voluntarily chosen to forgo my lifelong passion for running with sharp objects. The realities of aging, including diminished visual acuity, slowed reflexes, loss of central balance and essential tremor have led me to realize that I can no longer continue such behavior. I don't want to be "that guy", the one who stabs an old lady in a crosswalk or slices a school kid on a bicycle on our cul-de-sac.
Thank you and God bless America.

Willowed, feh:
Setting aside the fact that California authorities allowed a known serial child rapist walk free to bugger at will, let's look at how this situation played out.
You've got an illegal alien who's raping kids running a soccer team with an all-Spanish website where he recruits fresh meat on FaceTime.
That guy gets caught raping THREE other boys on that team before he finally murders one, and none of the parents even bothers to warn the others... the team just keeps going because that vaunted close-knit illegal immigrant community I always hear about just kicked up its collective heels and said "well I guess Mr. Garcia is the next boy's problem now, because I can't have the other mamacitas thinking little Beto is a maricon."
And then that close-knit illegal immigrant family put their thirteen year old boy on a train alone in one of the most crime ridden cities in the western world to go get murdered by a creepy pedo they met on FaceTime, because hey - the website is all in Spanish, for los hermanos. You can definitely trust the other shadow people.
Tell me again how these people are a benefit to the US?

Update for my prayer requests.
Nothing new on baby Isaac. Hopefully I'll learn something by asking around at church.
Bonnie has started her meds and her PET scan was negative for spread. She's experiencing exhaustion.
Charlie is speaking and may have been flown home to OH, waiting on an update. He will enter rehab when back home.
Thank you for your prayers.

Morning again, coffee folken,
Breakfast time. It's light outside and cool enough for me to leave the door open . . . not that there is much to see from my door.
Little gray Dagny has actually come to sit on the arm of the sofa next to me! She's been here about two and a half years, and has never been a lap cat. Maybe . . .? Someday?

It's so weird how it keeps working out that way.
It would be interesting to know the breakdown. I'm sure that females are at some degree of risk, too, but I bet society isn't allowed to notice or discuss the obvious thing.

Wyoming law prevents further details from being shared, and it is unknown how the wolf died.
What a weird law.
*********
As I understand it, Wyoming does not prohibit shooting wolves. The refusal to release info about the circumstances of death is probably to offer some protection to the rancher who shot the damned thing, from possible retaliation or legal harassment from Colorado. The first wolf that wandered into Wyoming was shot by US Fish and Wildlife officers and that info was publicly released.
Regarding the unknown (by CPW) time of death, I can assure them that time of death was roughly 3 seconds after the rancher's bullet entered the wolf's left ventricle.

Good Saturday morning, horde!
Coffee is an extra delight when served in a formal cup.
I use the fine china cup every weekend. I need the thermal tumbler on work days, but I like my pine cone china for coffee and revival, and the flowery pattern for the hoity-toity book thread.
Now, back up to review the prayer list.

I filched a coffee cup from the Yakima Training Center mess hall years ago, one of those ancient indestructible Melamine jobs that I use once in a while.
It has a noticeable iodine whang flavor to it, which reminds me why I don’t use it very often. I’d have thought they used Chlorine for disinfectant back in the day. Did they ever nuke the the troops in Yakima? Maybe that explains it.

Gripping story of Trump's 'savior' Scott Bessent | Daily Mail Online
It's a British paper so it must be right.
https://tinyurl.com/mr257yvh
"Bessent continued to focus his attention on China.
Bessent's message drew a wide range of support with MAGA activists who hailed him for successfully articulating the president's agenda.
'Look, I'm not happy with what's going on in the market today, but the distribution of equities across households, the top 10 percent of Americans own 88 percent of equities, 88 percent of the stock market,' he explained to Carlson, adding that 'the next 40 percent owns 12 percent of the stock market.'
Bessent noted that all the bottom 50 percent of Americans had was debt, credit card bills, monthly rental bills and auto loans.
'We've got to give them some relief,' he said.
'That's the message right there. Just as a bystander I'm like, wow, okay,' Carlson agreed."
Before Trump came along, the last guy who actually gave a flying f*ck about half the country was Ross Perot.

I broke into the Strategic Reserve coffee, as it was getting on in age, a brick of Bustelo. It is thankfully perfectly serviceable. The new SR coffee duty is currently held by a 19 ct. box of Folger’s Singles, the tea-bag style way of making coffee. It will serve until we hitch up the wagon and get into town for grocery shopping.

The best I've ever consistently had from any type of device were from a vacuum pot. A Bodhum, early 2000s. You can get stovetop ones pretty easily but that thing made a GREAT pot of coffee.

Saw the Oscar's Best Picture winner "Anora" last night.
Basically it's like someone said
"Hey, let's remake "Pretty Woman" only with a sad ending and lots of nekkidness and trashy people."
And so they did.
"Anora" isn't as porny as it's been made out to be. Ackshewallee, a lot less nudity than the average Skinamax soft porn flick.
It's okay. Well shot, well acted, well directed. Well scripted. Nice body on main actress.
"Anora" is okay if you've got nothing better to do. Not a "must see". But, no reason to stay if that storyline appeals to you.

None of those families have any kind of independent action open to them. You know this, right? They are under the thumb of the cartels and know that if the go to the authorities they will all be killed in the most horrific way possible to make an example to the others.
That is why this whole situation of forcing people live in perpetual fear of MS13 is so gravely sinful.
It's like handing the beggar with bloodshot eyes, wearing a winter coat in 80 degree weather a $10 is not an act of charity, but instead an act of cruelty. You know what's going to happen next, but hey, you feel good about it so who cares?

Looking for a post in the archives that was about the progression of fraud. It might have been corruption, but I think it was fraud. I was thinking about consumer fraud like adulterated foods and medicines, and how eventually it gets to where the default is that everything advertised is fraudulent and you have to find some other way to locate real value.
Post may have been threw years ago, maybe a morning rant or something. Does it ring any bells? I've been searching the history and can't find it. I saved a bookmark to it at the time, but that's been lost.

And the rest of us don’t give a shit about EV’s and rather keep our gas engines going.

*yawn*
Guten morgen, Hordevolk. My mom had to cancel taking Pookette last night because the pain is so bad she can barely walk. The last two years have been frustrating for her because she's got a UTI that won"t respond to antibiotics and in the last month, she's been wracked by pain in the area of her intestines. Her doctors have no idea what's wrong or what to do, and even the Mayo Clinic had thrown up its hands in exasperation. Meanwhile, most of my family has cut me off for circumstances I can't change, so it feels like my one connection is in jeopardy. My dad is trying to take care of my mom, but he turned down my offer of sending Pookette over to help.

Do you like British crime shows?
We enjoyed "Ridley", relaxed sort of feel, jazz club backdrop for a retired cop to help out with current cases.
For a grittier, dark, but well made show you could try "Hinterland" set in Wales. (But no Jersey outlaws, heh)

>>>there nothing new about that technique
They didn't say it was a new method, just that it was the perfect method.
I used to do the pour-over method one cup at a time, grinding the beans to moderate coarseness, then pouring the water into the filter just enough to saturate the ground beans -- waiting, waiting, waiting -- then doing it repeatedly until the cup was full.
But I've gotten lazy and impatient in my old age, so I switched to a Keurig.

Most 'normal' people would make a good president. Politicians are a weird breed. Most are a little off to begin with and just get worse as time goes on.
I'm not really sure at this point if the office of the Presidency or governance in general are even capable of being stewarded in any responsible fashion.
Because of the layers and layers of laws enacted, the numerous court rulings, the foreign entanglements, the political opposition, and other various factors, it's a very narrow window in which one has to operate.
For instance, you could say "well it just makes commoner sense to deport foreign rapists" and you've got judges, officials and congress arguing with you and putting a stop to every action you try to take to improve the country,
At this point, there really is nothing much that can be done even by well-meaning people.
About the only thing that would be able to rectify the course of things would be a Putin-type of leadership that involved a little bit totalitarianism to jail or expel bad actors through force.
Of course this isn't preferable, but it is what it is.

Last week we celebrated the fact the Planned Parenthood has been forced to close clinics across the country thanks to Trump cutting their funding. Oddly, there are actually people who style themselves pro-life Catholic who have tried to downplay this glorious news even going so far as to suggest that Trump did it out of hatred of DEI, and the pro-life effect was unintentional.
The TDS runs strong in some poeple.
This with the USCCB announced it was dropping its lawsuit regarding federal money and winding up its refugee resettlement serves. For those who don't know (and I didn't until recent) the USCCB had a side hustle of bringing people from war-torn lands directly to the US, and calling them "refugees." Normal policy (by treaty) is for refugees to go to the nearest safe place so as to facilitate their return once the crisis dies down. But the US bishops thought it would be better to fly people here from an alien culture and lavish resources on them rather than put that money to help in our own parishes.

Cities by definition are “sanctuary cities”. For Citizens. I mean, that was the whole point. In exchange for taxes, you are provided Police, Fire, and the roads get plowed, the garbage gets picked up, water comes out of the tap, etc.

The judicial madness seems to have about run its course. The sheer impracticality of them monitoring the career progress of 16,000 probationary employees exhausted the judge. Has anyone seen the latest on buyouts? Through the roof in some departments. The judges who played these games didn't just mess with Trump, they destroyed the quality of life for the feds who had to say goodbye, rearrange work, then re-onboard, issue equipment and then reverse it all AGAIN.
Who wants to put up with that?
It's like the dude in the El Salvadoran jail. How does the US actually get him back? Are we to invade? These nuts think they can reverse the order of time itself.
They had their fun, and now we can do impeachment inquiries for the next year or so and they will find out what it's like to be on the other side of the rectal examination table.

The judicial madness seems to have about run its course. The sheer impracticality of them monitoring the career progress of 16,000 probationary employees exhausted the judge.

This with the USCCB announced it was dropping its lawsuit regarding federal money and winding up its refugee resettlement serves. For those who don't know (and I didn't until recent) the USCCB had a side hustle of bringing people from war-torn lands directly to the US, and calling them "refugees." Normal policy (by treaty) is for refugees to go to the nearest safe place so as to facilitate their return once the crisis dies down. But the US bishops thought it would be better to fly people here from an alien culture and lavish resources on them rather than put that money to help in our own parishes.

I hadn't know that either until the USCCB began rattling their tin cups after Pres. Trump ended the funding. I'm particularly happy to learn that the bishops allowed themselves to become the hirelings of Caesar. So much for rendering unto Caesar what it Caesar's and rendering unto God what is God's.
It certainly explains the silence of so many of the bishops concerning pro-abortion "Catholic" politicians bringing public scandal to the Catholic Church.

Yes, and what a grave scandal they brought upon themselves. At the same time that the wanted to exalt the Eucharist and restore veneration for it, they could not bring themselves to excommunicate a Catholic who openly defied their teachings, even mocking it with the sign of the cross, because they wanted their dirty money.
And of course we knew what the Pope really cared about.
How vile, how utterly cruel to keep people in the shadows, force them into trafficking and then call yourself a charity. What charity? Slavery in a foreign land?
I think two factors were decisive. The first was that Trump's people would have turned them inside out during the lawsuit. Discovery would have been painful.
The other was that when they asked for private contributions to make up the difference, they got nothing.

In happier news, my 15 year-old grandson will be becoming a Papist next week during Easter Vigil. He had been coming with us to Mass for years, and after Easter last year, he told us he wanted to be Catholic.
I've been favorably impressed with the faith formation he has been getting. It's certainly better than what I got in the 1970s.
My grandson went on his first religious retreat with the Youth Ministry a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. He particularly likes Eucharistic Adoration.

Good morning all
Please excuse typos. Still blurry close up. Had my cataract surgery on Thursday. Surgery was a piece of cake. Felt great afterwards and could already see without glasses. The shock was when I couldn't read anything at all. I opted for Toric lenses for perfect vision in right eye, mid range in left. Right eye is perfect Left eye still a little swollen. I can read this on my iPad but still can't see anything on my phone. Saw surgeon yesterday and will probably need those cute half ending glasses but won't know for maybe a week or two. In the meantime I should get the readers I ordered from Amazon today.for temp solution I hope. When most of one's entertainment comes via the internet being unable,to read is frustrating as hell. Weird part was I could see TV fine.
I love you all. Your thoughts and prayers were greatly appreciated.May be scarce for awhile longer.

Agreed. It is merely the best-conceived roadmap for a free people to govern itself that has ever graced this planet. It was written by humble, yet imperfect men who were no doubt blessed with much Divine guidance and inspiration. Since its writing/enactment, the resulting human progress in both this country and the world has been unparalleled in any compable multi-millennial span in human history. But it requires a God-fearing people to sustain it. We've seemingly lost the civic and moral discipline to sustain the Constitution, and we're too addicted to our own comfort to hold our elected officials responsible to adhere to it's constraints. Nor do we hold educators responsible for truthfully teaching the wonders of this document. We bemoan them using it as toilet paper, but refuse to get in their faces. Perhaps that is changing now - time will tell. But the Constitution requires We, the People to save it - not a dictatorial leader.

It's true. Look at the so-called "blue locusts" who infest previously livable areas with their leftism.
A big draw here in my rural neck of the woods are "food trucks." Ubiquitous elsewhere but a recent phenom here. Those run by illegals, and there are a few, have a significantly different perception of sanitation and quality control than you'd typically find around here. And there's really no oversight for them other than a periodic health inspection... sometimes not even yearly.

People are dropping $10k + on "Gators".
That was my budget when looking for a commuter car not so long ago.
Having virtually no safety equipment and no road certification really helps keep manufcturing costs down.

Sound advice! I have a conservative friend who’s very excitable, every time some “outrageous” ruling is made he texts me and says “Trump should defy the Judges! Trump should abolish those courts!” And stuff like that. I try (sometimes successfully) to explain to him that our system is like a esc Tower, you can’t just start pulling pieces out and hope that it will all keep standing. Specifically I think it would take at least a year of changing leadership in the Armed Forces before they could ever be trusted.

(2/2) I voluntarily give the bishops nothing. I make substantial offerings to my parish's Poor Box, and certain religious orders.
"Catholic" Relief Services gets nothing.
I suspect that the bishops assuaged their consciences by telling themselves how they were helping poor people. Of course, importing millions of migrants puts upwards pressures on the costs of housing, medical care and social services --- AND puts downward pressures on the wages of unskilled and semi-skilled workers.
I doubt Jesus Christ is going to be persuaded by many of the bishops' excuses come the time of their Particular Judgments. Also, St. Chrysostom teaches us that Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.

So, by reading several stories in my HateFeed from the left, I've finally figured out how the Salvador MS-13 was confirmed as a member.
To be very clear: Every story is lying and saying there was only one piece of evidence.
False.
There are at least 3; that got him the 8 points.
1) most stories only say a confidential informant named him.
That's only 3 points. "credible testimony/statements of ... informants"
2) Rarely, and mostly at the beginning, they said it was only his tattoos, that the "ghost" was because he was a SnapChat fan. They stopped that.
But that's 4 points, "tattoos denoting membership/loyalty"
3) Now, finally, the third. Prince George County law enforcement had identified his rank and position in MS-13.
That's 4 points "law enforcement reporting ... identifying subject as a member"
4) there may be more, they now say he was merely wearing his Chicago Bulls hoodie. But, "subject displays ... dress known to indicate allegiance" That's four points.
And at least one of those occurred within the last 5 years.
That's 11 points (possibly 15) he scored out of 8 needed.

I've heard a variant that the road to Hell is marked by line of burning bishops.
It is frustrating to see so many Church leaders ignore the fundamentals of morality. It all boils down to a simple question: does this bear good fruit?
It doesn't matter what you meant to happen, or what you hoped would happen, or if the deed itself was good, we must also discern its consequences. When you see an addict asking for money, giving them a fix is not charity.
Similarly, letting it be known that the Church will facilitate illegal migration causes great harm. It hurts the nation of origin by allowing its ruler to escape the consequences of their misgovernment. It hurts the recipient nation by overloading its social services and driving down wages, and likely producing cultural conflict.
It is therefore objectively evil.

The tattoos by themselves make the case. This isn't some aesthetic choice by a rich white kid, these are very important symbols and someone with the wrong tattoo will find themselves suffering a very painful death.
The face tattoos are particularly important because they are impossible to hide. It is a lifelong commitment. One does not easily leave it. It's designed that way.

And just on a hunch
Had a Longaburger basket...with peas!
Fixed it. Sort of ruins the joke, but at least it rhymes.

Our daughter had drifted away from the Catholic Church in her adulthood (a familiar story -- I did the same). Her husband is a great guy, and a non-denominational Christian. They're currently un-churched (because their minister began bad-mouthing Catholics).
The middle grandson (18 years old) is going to a Protestant church of some sort with his girlfriend (a very sweet young lady). Last year, he was explaining how they had a "worship band" and his little brother asked, "You guys don't have a chorus?" (and from the tone of his voice I could tell he was thinking "What kind of heretical bull$h!t is that?!!!"). It was all I could to keep from laughing.

It took 40 years to get here. Let's be a little patient. A lot has happened in three months that no one ever thought could be achieved. We're getting spoiled by all our victories and no longer treasuring or savoring them. That, in and of itself, is a sin.
I guess I'm just a little more Eeyore about things than you are.
I don't see a lot of "victories". We appear headed towards another Middle East entanglement, we have raised the debt ceiling, passed budgets with the same funding for the same programs, we have yet to see the destruction of the Dept of Education, we have yet to see the end of conflict with Russia, no one has gone to jail for Russia-gate, no one has been held accountable for gain-of-function virus research, and on and on.
I thank the President for securing the release of J6 political prisoners. But now even that has been tainted as it appears that the head of the J6 inquisitions appears headed for a promotion,
I'll cross fingers. I'll say a prayer and light a candle. I'll wish upon a star. I'll swing a dead cat around my head at midnight in the cemetery underneath an oak tree. But my sense is we are getting more fluff than substance.

The hospital at Anzio was out in the open and subjected to shelling and air raids during the sitzkrieg phase.
My dad makes one mention of such a raid, in his diary:
29 Mar 1944
Another minor daylight raid but we still got 5 planes. 194th [FA Bn] started on a house wrecking program. Fired 30+ rds into their first house. Then 141st [FA Bn] shot around 20 to finally knock the house down.
One plane bombed the hospital (56th) during the night. 65 known casualties.

I would posit that you are not really looking for them. You have picked various items that are not easily achieved and must necessarily take time, and you refuse to acknowledge that these things move move in a progression.
Let's take prosecutions. Who would be prosecuting people if the cases were announced today? That would be their buddies. Who would try the cases? The same judges that enabled the abuse.
So if you want those people punished, you must first appoint people who will do a good job, and then discipline the judges who will hear the cases.
The same is true with the other aspects. The Dept. of Education is being dismantled. It cannot officially go away, but it has effectively been shut down. USAID is actually gone. That is a huge win, and I urge you to look through how much money was being laundered through it and send directly to Act Blue and its terrorist arms.
There is nothing like looking if you want to find something. If you want to find good news, you must first look for it. How many here knew about Planned Parenthood's clinics closing?

Much of the current hierarchy will be dead within a decade. Pope Leo XIII heard Jesus give Satan 100 years to destroy the Catholic Church. It's my opinion that the 100 years ends in 2033 (which will be an Extraordinary Jubilee Year marking the 2000th anniversary of Christ's Crucifixion).

Agreed. It is merely the best-conceived roadmap for a free people to govern itself that has ever graced this planet.
The representative republic is not the best-conceived form of government.
We know this because the governance of Heaven monarchical.
One can make the argument that no man is fit to rule, and you'd get no argument from me. But the odds of finding one moral man to rule is still greater than finding an entire society of men that behaves in a moral fashion.
The odds decrease even more significantly when the governance created by such men insists on the separation of morality and state.

Cupich is 76, so over the mandatory retirement age. The priests coming out of the seminaries are of a very different type, which is why there is so much panic in the upper tiers. The liberal Catholic project is dead. The best they can do is create confusion and scandal in Germany.
Meanwhile, in England it is reported that among young people (under 35) Catholics now outnumber Anglicans by a 2 to 1 margin. France is set to have another record-setting year for adult conversions (18,000) which is small ball but the majority of them are young people, who will likely marry and raise Catholic families. There is a remarkable youth movement, but in absolute terms it is still small because of the Boomer Hegemony. But they are of the past, and these people are the future.

Not only do we have the resurgent youth movement, there is also a trend of Protestants converting to Catholicism. Between the converts and newly-Baptized, we're going to have something like 35 new Catholics come Easter Vigil at my parish. It's so many that the priests have to use two churches to perform all of the necessary sacraments.

The representative republic is not the best-conceived form of government.
We know this because the governance of Heaven monarchical.
One can make the argument that no man is fit to rule, and you'd get no argument from me. But the odds of finding one moral man to rule is still greater than finding an entire society of men that behaves in a moral fashion.
The odds decrease even more significantly when the governance created by such men insists on the separation of morality and state.

We don't reside in Heaven - we reside on a planet populated by humans who are imperfect and sinful by their very nature. The Founders deeply understood this fact and it guided their thoughts on how best to constrain a government comprised of imperfect humans.
The Constitution does not prescribe the separation of morality and State. That is the lie Progressives have foisted upon us by unending repetition. It separates "Church" and State so that no single religion/denomination is given political control. But it absolutely supports the individual's right to pursue morality according to their own free will.

A big draw here in my rural neck of the woods are "food trucks." Ubiquitous elsewhere but a recent phenom here. Those run by illegals, and there are a few, have a significantly different perception of sanitation and quality control than you'd typically find around here. And there's really no oversight for them other than a periodic health inspection... sometimes not even yearly.

The validity of our form of government is still open to doubt. It has required repeated fundamental changes to the point that one can (and many do) that the Republic as originally constituted no longer exists. Whether one picks 1865, or 1913, or 1933 or 1963 is beside the point.
Monarchies have endured and may return because we are now seeing that late-stage democracy is far crueler than any monarchy. King would not have survived if he flooded his ream with foreigners. A cousin of the blood would quickly be found or a new dynasty founded.
This is the way it has always been, and the question is really not whether changes will be made, but how long they take and the form of the change.

Years ago at our old parish, the local homeless came up with the idea of ambushing us after the 11 o'clock Mass. And people would give because they felt they had to.
And then our virtuous poor began become more aggressive, breaking into cars and such. So word went out to not give them anything, but instead off paper bags with a snack bar, small bottle of water, handy wipes, etc.
And they didn't want them. They wanted money. I've watched people try to push the bags and them be thrown to the ground.
After a while no one bothered and the homeless went away.

We don't reside in Heaven - we reside on a planet populated by humans who are imperfect and sinful by their very nature.
This is a good post-fall understanding.
However....the Lord did institute the divine kingship here on earth in the garden. It was man, tempted by Satan, who desired self-governance on earth.
So we can't really pretend that the divine kingdom is some otherworldly system of governance, somehow separated from this planet.
A decent refutation of my view would probably be to reference Samuel, when the Israelites demanded an earthly King, abandoning the Lord as their King.
This might dispute the value of an earthly king and identify its imperfection, however, it still doesn't do much good in dispelling the notion that the ultimate FORM of governance is a divine monarchy, not a representative republic.

Our denomination tried to take a leftward tilt a few years ago (dang Canadians). It didn't work, because the "progressive" churches are dying while the conservative churches are growing. Therefore the conservatives outnumber the progressives *and* are repopulating because the LGBTQWERTY crowd doesn't procreate (yes I know they recruit but it's not the same thing). It's not perfect but it's better than a dying denomination.

Trump's doing a high wire act. But the trajectory we were on was certain to crash and burn. The EU is still on that trajectory.
Germany will crash badly because it made itself energy dependent thanks to Angela. France has a chance because they didn't . Britain could pull out, including because it's still on the pound.
Speaking of energy, here's an insightful clip from Landman, which I watched and liked. Trump liked it too, apparently.

One of the best non-fiction books I've read is The Prize, a history of the oil industry by Daniel Yergin, an industry consultant. It doubles as a history of the 20th Century because oil affected everything, including why Japan and Germany started the war.

81 Looking for a post in the archives that was about the progression of fraud. It might have been corruption, but I think it was fraud. I was thinking about consumer fraud like adulterated foods and medicines, and how eventually it gets to where the default is that everything advertised is fraudulent and you have to find some other way to locate real value.
Post may have been threw years ago, maybe a morning rant or something. Does it ring any bells? I've been searching the history and can't find it. I saved a bookmark to it at the time, but that's been lost.

Monarchies have endured and may return because we are now seeing that late-stage democracy is far crueler than any monarchy.
Those pushing a monarchy always assume they'll get a benevolent monarch. And thats when everything goes to shit. Because no two people - when really put to the test - can ever agree what benevolent even means.

Avoid those on-line sellers that claim having 2,000+ widgets available AND lower prices than everybody else. Invariably if you try to find reviews of the seller there will be virtually nothing specifc and the all too common 'bot review pages may say its a newish retailer, no complaints, so looks legit!
Bought some widget recently and went with the on-line retailer that was slightly more expensive, some similat items out of stock, no claims of how many they did have other than 'available', and butt-loads of reviews (mostly good).
They estimated 7-10 days to receive the widget but got it in 4.

No, I specifically said that monarchies are superior because there are limits to the cruelty, which includes a dynastic replacement. King Joe would have been overthrown or at least thrown in a tower by a more competent cousin.
They used to excommunicate kings. Presidents are apparently above such moral constraints.

", I specifically said that monarchies are superior because there are limits to the cruelty, which includes a dynastic replacement. "
Because history has never shown us a cruel despotic king intent on keeping power through intimidation and terror.
And because it's always apparent who the dynastic replacement would be. Especially when the obvious choice is still a child.

Our diocese is ordaining 7 new priests, with 5 transitional deacons on deck. We're seeing the last of the "one priest" parish. I think Philly is ordaining 80 this year.

Excellent! A new deacon joined us last month and we are over joyed. Our parish is processing a great many converts this year also. It's funny, as one approaches the Great Reckoning, one's view of faith and Heaven becomes a wee bit stronger.

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati only had 2 transitional deacons for 2025; however, we had 7 priests ordained last year. There's a bunch of young men in the seminary, too.
My family of parishes also got 3 permanent deacons this year.
It's almost as if you have orthodox teachings, young people will be attracted to religious vocations. Liberal Catholicism is dying-out.

This might dispute the value of an earthly king and identify its imperfection, however, it still doesn't do much good in dispelling the notion that the ultimate FORM of governance is a divine monarchy, not a representative republic.
Posted by: Attention Deficit American at April 12, 2025 10:29 AM (BRYXc)

I hear what you are saying. My thoughts on this matter are not as developed as on the Constitution. While I believe God exists in our world, it seems to me that He allows each of us free will to find our way to Him and ultimately recognize His kingship over the universe. But it is clear that not everyone sees this or has found their way to Him. So are you advocating that humans should not attempt governnance in light of an all-powerful God? That seems to preempt the gift of free will. If we accept that humans will institute some form of governance among themselves, I see no historical precedent that has better served humankind than our Constitution. It has not been perfect - nothing human can be. It's success requires a populace with strong moral underpinnings. Our country feels lost because weak morality has led us to ignore the constraints of a well-drawn map.

The family owners of nearby mexican food truck - which is a 20 foot trailer - seem to make a lot of money. I know they own and operate at least 2 trailers. They keep them spic n span. upscale prices.
All of the family drive expensive cars and trucks. Named trucks like a Ford Arachnid (has a huge chrome spider badge on front quarter-panel.) One of the daughters owns a trick named Camero. The patriarch drives a Mercedes Benz panel van. Son drives a F250 named power stroke with a vertical rally stripe on the rear panel. The 20 something young daughter is 100% American.
It's not a drug front.

Greetings, Eromero ... If you're looking to supplement your diet with "mashed" proteins, you could try stirring baby food meats (little jars) into microwave-ready mashed potatoes (such as Bob Evans) ... You might also be able to "powderize" store-bought bacon bits by whizzing them in a spice grinder.
