visited a wealthy area of RI last week and a man in his early 80’s walked by with a tee shirt that said… “Immigrants aren’t criminals, our President is..”
honestly wasn’t sure if i should chuckle, smile or correct him. me being me i did all three..
and said “illegal immigrants”
-but it was sad too. he probably has little time left and was/is well beyond convince-ability.

Well, to be fair, he may have bought that shirt when Biden was still in office.

This is my last do nothing day for the summer (academically, speaking) – with tomorrow being August, it’s time to start school planning again. So I’m gonna cut my lawn – we’ve had something like 7 inches of rain in the past week and change, so the grass grows super thick.

How do you say “tear down the Leonine Wall” in Latin?

Under the category of “Give me the red hat, Pope Bob!”, Archbishop John Charles Wester of Santa Fe ran to the cameras to defend the planned approval of a mosque in suburban North Valley Albuquerque, a zoning request which had been opposed by the residents:

“ ‘Our Muslim neighbors have the same God-given and constitutionally protected right to worship freely as every other faith community, including our own,’he said and cited the Second Vatican Council’s declaration on religious freedom, Dignitatis Humanae.”

He added: “We do not need to share the same beliefs to share the same neighborhood. What we do need is a willingness to listen, to learn, and to recognize the face of a neighbor rather than a stranger.’”

Let’s just change a few words:

* Our [SSPX and Traditional Latin Mass] neighbors have the same God-given and constitutionally protected right to worship freely as every other faith community, including our own,”

Try that on for size, Archbishop.

Pope Leo XIV is dialoguing with the wrong people.
All people must, absolutely must adhere to the Law of the Land, our Constitution. Then these individuals may be assimilated into our country, as was the “melting pot”.
No Sharia Law, no Killing of Christians, no violation of our civil rights, our God-given civil rights expounded in the Constitution.
Deport the invaders and their homicidal religion.

Third Class Carriage, an oil painting by Honoré Daumier depicts a mother breast feeding her infant.
Infants were breast fed and given immunity from their mother. The bond between mother and the human race was established.
Feminists reviled mothers who breast fed their babies, calling them “cheese factories” and “cows”. Breast feeding mothers were relegated to nurse their babies in the public restroom where everyone discharged their waste. 
Pyrex was invented and bottle fed infants became the norm. Today the plague of dissed children floods our society with people who do not know how to love or be loved.
Some lucky children are breast fed persons encouraged by The La Lachey League. Society distains normal mothers and normal persons and celebrates disordered individuals. 
I myself was telling classmates about the HIV virus which is a fragile virus that lives outside the body for about twenty minutrs. Only Chlorine kills it; not ammonia. Wiping toilet seats helps or waiting over twenty minutes.
The next day the teacher excoriated me for about ten minutes in front of the class for being uncompassionate and uncaring. For a virus? Duh.

ASSISTED SUICICDE VERSUS EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL
Assisted suicide destroys equal Justice for all by removing responsibility and consequences for homicide in the first degree for committing murder.
Assisted suicide legalized legalizes murder and removes prosecution from those complicit and those who actively commit murder.
The judicial system has condoned rape with: “She wanted it.” Now, the judicial system condones murder with :”She wanted it.” through assisted suicide. 
Instead of compassion and caring called for by Jesus Christ in the Spiritual and Corporal works of mercy the medical establishment has been given free reign to legally murder anybody and everybody at will as in Hitler’s concentration camps.
Our hard earned tax dollars now support legalized murder. As Nancy Pelosi said: “Look at how much money we (the “WE” of our Law of the Land, our Constitution) “Look at how much money we save.” and/or how much judgement and vengeance we incur from our Creator, the Giver of life and the Father of Justice.
Is assisted suicide legalized, the final slip into hell on earth or can the devil inflict more?
Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to Thee.

Pope Leo XIV is almost Catholic. Maybe Leo will become a death bed convert.

Leo 14 is not what we expected. Wonder how many coca leaves he chewed when he was living in Peruvian mountain missions?
