I wrote Monday that I was tired of trashy behavior from America’s public figures. That goes double for unconscionable support for treasonous crooks and corrupt liars in high places. I’ve had it with businesses who back those who have tried to destroy this country. Right now, I’m looking at CBS News Maybe CBS wants a piece of the Fox “News”/Newsmax/Alex Jones/Bannon pie. Other than hankering after a few of the brainwashed true believing followers of these outlets I can see... Read more
Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards because Chris Rock made a cruel joke about Will Smith’s wife’s hair loss. Will Smith’s wife has Alopecia, and according to reports of those who were watching her reaction, the joke upset her. Ta da. That’s all there really is to that deal that should concern you and me. It was such a stupid story that it took me a while to even know how I felt about it, or if... Read more
These two stories crossed my feed today, a few hours after the Holy Father consecrated Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I’m not drawing any conclusions, although I do have my thoughts. Make of it what you will. Pope Francis Consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ukraine news live: Zelenskyy says his troops have dealt Russia ‘powerful blows’ as Moscow hints it may have given up on full takeover Russian forces in Ukraine... Read more
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat. Jesus Christ, speaking to Peter Pope Francis consecrated Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary today. I’m a self-confessed bad Catholic, just about as imperfect as a member of the “faithful” can be. Some days, I question whether I, or anyone like me, even belongs in this Church. Each time I approach Christ in the Eucharist it is with feelings of... Read more
Pope Francis has released the prayer of consecration he will pray Friday when he consecrates Russia and the Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Please consider joining your prayers with his, both on Friday and every day until then. O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you. As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often... Read more
If you watched the Ketanji Jackson Brown confirmation hearings yesterday, you got a snootful of nonsensical grandstanding by the right wing Republican clowns of the United States Senate. They strutted. They preened. They misrepresented facts. They advanced GQP conspiracy theories. They pretended to care about something other than themselves. One of them even got up and stomped out of the committee meeting in a big show of faux outrage over the points he himself had raised. I haven’t seen such... Read more
I just have to write a brief comment about this. The photo above is a screen shot of a tweet by none other than Republican Congressman Jim Jordan. Evidently, Rep Jordan is still outraged by what Democrats “did” to that innocent little flower, attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh. If you’re interested in learning what a nefarious crime this was, just replay the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford. Then consider that the Republican Party, with the help of all their whore clergy,... Read more
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and Pope Francis of Rome held a virtual meeting a few days ago. In that meeting, the two leaders of different branches of Catholicism disagreed sharply about Putin’s war of conquest against Ukraine. Patriarch Kirill is all for Putin and his slaughter of innocents. He has used his position of Patriarch to deify what amounts to mass murder in the Ukraine. There is no big surprise in this. Kirill, who has called Putin a “miracle of... Read more
It turns out that the late William Hurt wasn’t much of a man. He was good-looking. There’s no denying that. And he gave compelling performances on screen. But off-screen, he beat up the women in his life, and, according to one of them, Oscar winner Marlee Matlin, he raped them as well. Heck of a guy. At least two of the women involved with Hurt spoke openly about the physical, verbal and emotional abuse he heaped on them. Hurt didn’t... Read more
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has announced that he will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Friday, the 25th of March. I’ve decided to pray the Rosary every day, and fast until he does that. I am posting this to encourage you to join your prayers with Pope Francis’ for the next nine days. Unite them to the sufferings of Our Lady as she stood at the foot of the Cross. Through her, join your... Read more
