I never forget that I live in a house that belongs to all the American people and I have been given their trust. Franklin Delano Roosevelt I don’t think I’ve ever had any public figure do anything that has made me as angry as the photos I saw yesterday of the White House being torn down. I’m too angry to talk about it. Here are a few points for us to consider, going forward. The White House — and America... Read more
Pope Leo is urging America’s Catholic bishops to stop sitting on the sidelines in the fight against Trump’s abuses of human rights. I know some of America’s bishops have been trying to do something all along. The bishop of Miami prayed the Rosary outside Alligator Alcatraz. The bishop of West Virginia wrote a scalding letter in which he reminded ICE agents in blunt language that they would ultimately have to answer to God for what they are doing. The bishop... Read more
Did you ever see a demon, walking in human flesh? Look at this photo. Now, watch this video. I’ve watched several interviews with this pastor. He is Rev David Black, pastor at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. Rev Black said he “felt called” to pray for the ICE agents who were there that day. That’s what he was doing at the beginning of this video. He was praying for the men who subsequently shot him. You can see it.... Read more
Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies … … And on the pedestal, these words appear My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Percy Byssche Shelley I knew No Kings Day was a... Read more
No Kings Day was a gi-normous success. It was a love fest for American democracy. The Trump regime did everything they could to whip up their base to violence with repeated lies and nonsensical stories. They called the 7 million Americans from all over the country who went out on a Saturday to stand up for democracy everything from “communists” to “Hamas” to their made up bugaboo, “antifa.” They said, as they always do, that we were paid to demonstrate...

We all need a laugh. Let’s take a look at this video. I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth. I also have stopped believing anything that comes out of the mouths of his stooges in his regime and his Republican stooges in Congress. From what I’ve seen, most of the Republicans who have any integrity or patriotism are out here with the rest of us, trying to save our democracy. They... Read more
Your rulers are rebels and partners with thieves; They all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them. Isaiah 1:23 Trump got a free jet and a $5.5 billion golf course. Qatar got an American military base. All We the People got was threats, lies, troops in our cities and a lousy red hat. Here’s the story in headlines. Qatar gives Trump a “free” $300... Read more
We The People The mad king and his regime is scared of No Kings Day. They have good reason to be. Tyrants fear the people they govern. They know that if enough of the people they govern rise up against them, they are on their way out. That’s why tyrants lie to the people they govern. That’s why tyrants want to take over and control the news media. That’s why tyrants send troops into the cities that have opposed them... Read more
I told you I would be back on Monday, and then I didn’t show up. I apologize. Here’s what happened. Hubs and I attended an out-of-state soccer tournament in which one of our precious grands was playing. We stayed in a hotel that was full to the top with giddy, excited kids who ran up and down the halls and filled the elevators with their chitter-chattering fun. We ate lots of greasy, bad-for-the-heart food, and we spent time with our... Read more
Did you see the moon last night? I think the harvest moons in September and October are the most beautiful moons of the year. I absolutely love this time of year. From Labor Day, right on through the Epiphany; it’s my time of the year. I’m going to take a few days away from writing, even though there is a plethora of things I could write about, both concerning the Church and the continuing horror show that’s playing in Washington....
