- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Bishop Barres came and celebrated Mass this past Sunday. In his sermon he said your illegitimate ‘devout’ Catholic grifter [evil idiot] Biden’s administration is about to force [against our consciences and Church Teaching] Catholic hospitals, etc. to perform abortions, sex change surgeries, etc.
I’m pretty sure you won’t be going to Heaven if you vote Democrat.
If your Bishop is silent it’s up to you to get vocal…publicly if needed.
I mean it.
Silence has helped procure the mass extermination of over sixty million children.
If he won’t use his “pastorial” righteous indignation at the blatant attack on Religious Freedom than you reapply your righteous indignation with him and with the assault on liberty.
It’s past time for pleasantries and agree to disagree conclusions.
It’s time to be bold and fight for your freedoms. To hell with administration’s that threaten the lives of the unborn and born.
We owe this to our valiant Veterans who died on the battlefields in order to secure our freedoms.
No more silence.
Don’t be complacent.
A win for religious freedom;

Lisa Murkowski has endorsed the Democratic candidate in the House race in Alaska, even though there are two Republicans running in the general election. The Alaska Republican committee has endorsed one of the two Republicans in the Senate race. The one they did not endorse is Lisa Murkowski. So, Bitc* McConnell’s personal PAC has donated seven-digit sums to Murkowski’s campaign. Ace of Spades throws around the terms ‘liberal’ and ‘leftist’ with stupid abandon, and it is an odd situation with multiple Republicans competing and someone if anyone has to receive largesse from central organs. That having been said, someone as troublesome to party whips as is Murkowski isn’t someone who has much of a claim on party funds. The Alaska Republican committee has censured McConnell.
IMO, it’s a good thing to have members of Congress who are on their second or third career and have some miles on their odometer. By ‘good thing’, I mean they’re elected at 58 and retire at 70. From 1967 to the present, Addison Mitchell McConnell has spent 50 years on public sector payrolls, including > 40 years on the payroll of the United States Congress. He is 80 years old and has been the Senate Republican leader for nearly 16 years, and he could not even organize his caucus to compose and enact regular appropriations bills when he had a majority. About his most notable accomplishment was something quite passive: informing Barack Obama in 2016 there would be no hearings held on his nominee to the Supreme Court.
The Senate Republican caucus will not have the stones to get rid of him next January. Would be agreeable if he spent his last years in Congress on the back benches.

Steve Deace (of the Steve Deace Show on The Blaze) is being very bullish for the midterms; he’s predicting 55 Senate seats, 252 House and 33 govs. for the R’s. Barnes has 31 govs, 52ish Senate and 250 cap House for his bets.
Delusional Mark Shea thinks that the Democrats are gonna win fifty-three Senate seats: https://twitter.com/chezami/status/1585104279668654080.
He also thinks that making fun of abortion simp Uncle Festerman makes you a bad Catholic: https://twitter.com/chezami/status/1585092747173953537.
The Democrats are campaigning on late-term abortion in all fifty states, and Shea’s friend Steven Greydanus is whining about the GOP’s Twitter feed. Ironically, if Kanye’s remarks had been about white people and white privilege, Greydanus would agree with them. Even more ironic is the fact that Greydanus shrugs off and even enables Shea’s psychotic ravings but reserves his criticisms for a pro-life black man: https://twitter.com/DecentFilms/status/1584899774074978306.
Newsweek linked to his tweet: https://www.newsweek.com/house-judiciary-gop-faces-renewed-criticism-not-deleting-kanye-tweet-1754674.
This clown has no place being a member of the clergy. He’s an embarrassment who carries water for the abortion lobby. Just give him an MSNBC gig already.
The grinding-up-black-pills-and-adding-them-to-my-morning-protein-shake cynical part of me sees Fetterman’s failed debate as a very successful audition in that he demonstrated just how useful a Senator he could be. As our current completely legitimate President daily proves, the more malleable a flesh puppet one is, the more fit for higher office one seems to be.
Republican senatorial candidates in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia and Nevada are well-advised to have many people observing the entire electoral process in Philadelphia County, Maricopa County, Milwaukee County, Fulton County and Clark County.
As well as Wayne County Michigan in the governor’s race there.
If shenanigans are going to occur, those are the most likely places.
IN GOD WE TRUST emblazoned on every dollar bill, every coin, proclaimes our freedom. Biden wants to eradicate our IN GOD WE TRUST money and replace it with Biden Bucks. Totalitarianism. Biden the new slavemaster.
Mark Shea is as much a horse’s rear end as is Biden. Fetterman was before his stroke.
PF:
I stop reading Mark after he reviewed some document of Lateran V (a truly failed council) that apparently declared all interest on bank accounts and loans mortally sinfully. Mark declared that “doctrine” applied today. When posters demanded where that teaching was echoed in later Church documents (like “Rerum Novarum” or those of Vatican II) he just screech-owled that “a papal teaching stands for all time”, even though there’s no evidence the “teaching” (if it even said what he insisted it said) was more than a learned papal opinion in an economy dramatically different from today’s. He’s the poster boy for the toxicity of social media.
