Keep ignition car keys light or the tumbler will break and ignition will have to be replaced.
All souls are created normal in original innocence. The Blessed Virgin Mary maintained her original innocence and preserved her perpetual virginity by willing to do God’s will perfectly for all eternity.
Yes. The Immaculate Conception is miraculous but so are all men’s creation miraculous.
The Eighth Amendment:
Excessive bail shall not be required , nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
So, a $136,000 dollar fine for not baking a gay wedding cake is unconstitutional. This fine destroyed the livelihood of Melisa’s Sweet Cakes and her four children were impoverished and probably on welfare.
Executive Order 13575 Rural Counsels enables Obama to confiscate any and all private farmland. Now that is some punishment worse than communism.
Now you can see why the Constitution is no longer taught in public school.
The KKK started the Democratic Party. Hugo Black removed God, prayer and the Ten Commandments from the Public Square. As a Supreme Court Judge Black had never read the Constitution or if he had he chose to ignore it.
Clinton made all public waterways and lands, waterways and lands that belong to each and every citizen in joint and common tenancy, his. Do you think Clinton will share?
Here’s the fun part..
EWTN homily: God told Adam to “till the garden.”” AI says “kill the garden.” AI gets about 40% wrong
When the Pharisees criticized Jesus and His Apostles for picking grain on the Sabbath because they were hungry, or when Jesus cured the cripple man and told him to take up his mat and go home, the Pharisees as Good Samaritans ought to have given Jesus and His Apostles something to eat and helped the cured man take up his mat and go home, but they did not. The Pharisees could not be bothered with loving their neighbor whom they see or love the God WHOM they cannot see.
Jesus is the Revelation of God.
American citizenship is centered in living our Constitution, nothing less. Children born are born into the citizenship of their parents, proven as asylum seekers, not invaders, illegal invaders.
Amendment XIV is about natural born persons, the slaves in particular. The slaves were imported. Illegal invaders are outlaws, circumventing our laws and cannot give birth to citizens without being citizens themselves.
I have a grey tabby who looks just like the one in the picture. He’s a good hunter who is also a softy when it comes to the people in the house. But make no mistake – he believes he owns this house.
The German word for armadillo is Gürteltier, which means “belt animal”
I was in my local cemetery paying respects to my mother this past weekend, and I drove by my cemetery’s most famous resident, Jack McCall. What I found interesting is that someone had placed flowers on his grave. Made me wonder who did, and why?
Last year, the courthouse/jail that he was tried in collapsed and was torn down. Makes me wonder if the flowers had something to do with that?
Anyway, just an interesting nugget I’ve been thinking about.
Jack McCall killed Wild Bill Hickok by shooting him in the back of the head. Hickok was playing cards and had his back to the saloon door. McCall was found guilty of the murder and executed by hanging.
KBAQ “K-BACH” is a classical radio station in Phoenix. My husband listens to the station in his office. KBACH’s Cat of the Month is a fun listener contest where you can nominate your own cat to be featured on the station’s social media. Though we live in rural Virginia I’m thinking of entering Tiger, a big orange cat that I rescued from the dump. He loves drinking from the faucet and is quite vain as he watches himself in the bathroom mirror
made friends with a black tom cat while staying at a farm guest house. & one morning found a half eaten large rabbit on my doorstep. the host was horrified. i told her i was honored…
named the cat – “killer”
Does anyone have a plausible explanation as to why Mitch McConnell’s 30-something year old Chinese wife (Taiwanese) went to hang out with the VP of the PRC ASAP after Mitch became an AIP?
Inquiring minds …

Aces and eights, the origin of the dead man’s hand.
Oh, I know the history. I just found it interesting that someone would lay flowers on his grave, 149 years later.
i like cats, and have respect -but are they ever really this happy to see you home?

They’re less expressive. They’ll they’ll tell you they love you in their way and on their schedule, not yours.
Also. Regarding McCall. There was a legend that he was buried with the noose still so around his neck. A few decades later, and the city was moving graves, and they took the opportunity to see if the legend was true. Yep. McCall still has the noose around his neck.
Regarding cats and dogs. I love them both. I grew up with both. I have a Springer Spaniel who is the absolute sweetest of sweethearts. My sister and her family have two orange cats. One is very affectionate. The other likes affection only on his schedule. But when I bring my dog over, the less affectionate one gets super affectionate with her, and is always grooming her or laying with her.
Re flowers on McCall grave, maybe it’s similar to the tradition of red roses and a bottle of whiskey left on Edgar Allen Poe’s grave on his birthday. Don’t know if the person was ever found out.
A member of the younger generation in our families is giving his wife her walking papers. (Their children are ages 11 to 23, and no his wife hasn’t been asking for it). Would appreciate prayers.
Prayers on the way Art. She should get a good attorney.
I’m praying for all of them Art. Tough news for everyone, especially the kids.
One good thing that can come out of the illicit consecrations is that it might put pressure on Pope Leo to scrap Traditiones Custodus.
