<\/a><\/p>\nDid you see the moon last night?<\/p>\n
I think the harvest moons in September and October are the most beautiful moons of the year.<\/p>\n
I absolutely love this time of year. From Labor Day, right on through the Epiphany; it\u2019s my time of the year. I\u2019m 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\u2019s playing in Washington.<\/p>\n
Yesterday\u2019s White House \u201cconference\u201d on the imaginary group \u201cantifa\u201d was a real show stopper, complete with implied threats from Pam Bondi that the regime would annihilate Americans they decide to label as \u201cantifa,\u201d presumably with drone attacks.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m surmising a bit here. What she said is that they would destroy \u201cantifa\u201d in the same way they\u2019re going after the cartels. Since they\u2019ve been using drones to blow up people they claim are in the drug cartels, (with no proof; we\u2019re just supposed to take their ever-lying word for it), I can only assume that this means they\u2019re implying that they intend to start launching drone attacks on Americans they don\u2019t like while claiming that these people are \u201cantifa.\u201d<\/p>\n
I want to emphasize that there is no such organization as antifa. It does not exist. They are making it up. I gather a right wing \u201cnews\u201d organization put someone (probably one of their cameramen or some such) on air wearing a mask and claimed he was a \u201cformer Antifa member.\u201d Then, they did an \u201cinterview\u201d with this person. I suppose next, they\u2019ll put a mask on somebody and claim that they are interviewing the Easter bunny.<\/p>\n
This is a lie, just like all the rest of the lies Trump tells and his stooges repeat and push for him.<\/p>\n
But, this is a lie that could turn very deadly.<\/p>\n
Of course, Trump\u2019s apologists are now claiming that \u201cthey didn\u2019t mean that\u201d about murdering American citizens at will while claiming that their victims were \u201cantifa.\u201d All I can say is we\u2019ve heard that excuse before. Many times. \u201cHe just says things.\u201d \u201cThey didn\u2019t mean it.\u201d \u201cHe was joking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, we\u2019ve got troops in our cities and Rs are fighting tooth and nail for the ignoble cause of doing away with health care for millions of Americans and closing down our rural hospitals.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to believe what they say. But you probably should believe what they do.<\/p>\n
I began reading Pope Leo\u2019s first Encyclical, Dilexi Te this morning. I had to stop because I\u2019ve got a lot of things I need to do and not much time to do them. But I will say that the press has misrepresented what Pope Leo wrote.<\/p>\n
After I read it through a few times and pray about it and think about it, I\u2019ll write about it for you. I think you will find it beautiful and helpful. It will draw you closer to the heart of Christ.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll write more about all these doings next week. But for now, I need to concentrate on my home and family. We\u2019ve got soccer tournaments, birthdays and other wonderful things to do this weekend. So I\u2019ll see you Monday.<\/p>\n
Say a prayer for me and mine if you have a chance. I pray for you every day.<\/p>\n
I love you, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ.<\/p>\n
