The democrats don’t deal in truths. They deal in a series of power hungry charades.
There is a God.
And if God exists, so does Satan.
We see evidence of God and Satan around us every day.
An abortion takes the life of an innocent human being.
Those who promote abortions are puppets of the Devil.
Women who have had a change of heart about abortion deserve our love and prayers, and the knowledge that God and their unborn child has already forgiven them and loves them.
We are all human. We all have sinned. We all have fallen short of the glory of God.
“If you’re going through hell, just keep moving. You might get out before the Devil even knows you’re there.”
It is true that money (which equates to power) is the root of all evil.
Sex is not far behind money. Sexual deviancy (Pedophilia in particular) needs to be crushed and eradicated like the cultural cancer it is.
Crude oil IS NOT a product of long dead dinosaurs and animals. It is a natural product of the Earth, and we will not run out of it.
Elite Climate alarmists don’t really think they can change our climate, while their foolish followers believe they can.
Today’s democrats would have supported the British in The Revolutionary War.
Today’s democrats have more in common with Hitler and the Nazis than the allied countries that opposed him at the time.
John F. Kennedy’s assassination was orchestrated by elements within our own government, and then covered up by elements within our own government. Specifically the CIA, LBJ, and other cooperative establishment politicians and bureaucrats. And you can probably say that for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as well.
Donald Trump winning the 2016 presidential election over Hillary Clinton caught the democrats completely off guard. They would not allow this scenario to happen again, by any means.
Joe Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 presidential election.
The COVID-19 virus was developed in a Chinese lab, with the help of American funding, to be released into the world, by global fascist forces, when needed to mitigate a threat to their power and control, namely President Trump.
Dogs are more loyal and loving than most people.
The United States has seen its last free and fair national election, relatively speaking, back in 2016.
Any government entity distinguished by three letters, four in some cases, (eg: DOJ, FBI, CIA, IRS) are corrupt and politically weaponized beyond your wildest imagination.
Jeffrey Epstein DID NOT commit suicide, nor did Vince Foster. I’m sorry if some of you may need to look Vince Foster up.
Our government is currently run by unelected bureaucrats (The Swamp), not our elected representatives.
Any topic the corrupt DOJ or FBI does not want to talk about is described as “an ongoing investigation.”
It is unethical and immoral for our government to borrow money in order to give it away, especially to foreign countries, leaving the American taxpayers with the burden of paying this money back.
People coming into our country illegally should not get preferential treatment over our military veterans and current citizens.
Our founding fathers meant the “free press” to watchdogs over our politicians and our government, not propagandist lapdogs.
Think about how ignorant and ill-informed the average American is, then understand that half of all Americans are more ignorant and ill-informed than that.
We should all support our police, but we all have also seen how quickly the police can flip from crime fighters and protectors to political mandate enforcers and adversaries of our Constitutional freedoms.
Humans, generally, don’t handle freedom well. That’s why, sadly, America was doomed from the start.
We should all learn how to speak Chinese.

Traitorous in the sense that we were implored to support republicans in the 2022 elections to prevent exactly what they ended up voting for.
I guess the results of the 2022 midterms reflected the support the republican senate candidates deserved.
At least with the democrats, we know where they stand.
The “Gang of 18” republican senators can all be rightfully described as “snakes in the grass” sell-outs!
All republican politicians will end up paying the price for The Gang of 18. Mark my words. The republicans’ contribution revenue stream has now officially dried up.
According to Anna Skinner, reporting for Newsweek, “The Senate voted to pass a $1.66 trillion omnibus spending bill Thursday afternoon with only a day remaining before a deadline that could partially shut down the government.”
The shutting down of our government, even a partial shutdown, would be the best thing that could happen for our country.
“Eighteen Republicans joined all 48 Democrats and two independents [“Independents in name only!] in passing the bill, which must still pass through the House before it arrives on President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law. The final vote was 68-29.”
“If approved [by The House of Representatives], [and it was] the bill will extend government funding through September 30, 2023. It had been delayed for weeks as lawmakers argued over its proposals, which included funding around immigration, emergency disaster assistance and military aid to Ukraine.”
Now, even after this bill’s passage, they are still writing-in portions of the bill. It’s the democrats’ version of a late night voting dump.
“Before the Senate voted, former President Donald Trump slammed members of the Republican party for their potential help in passing the bill in a video message posted to Truth Social. Trump specifically targeted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell [and rightfully so], who voted in favor of the bill.”
“Trump had urged all members of his party to vote against the bill and called the bill a ‘disaster’ for the Republican Party since Republican senators could have stopped it. Trump also criticized Democrats for pushing the bill through Congress before Republicans take control of the House in the New Year.”
“However, McConnell thought the bill was a win for Republicans because it increased the nation’s defense budget by nearly 10 percent, according to an article by The Hill. Nondefense and nonveteran spending received a more than 5 percent bump, totaling $772 billion.”
‘“The world’s greatest military will get the funding increase that it needs, outpacing inflation. Meanwhile, nondefense, nonveterans spending will come in below the rate of inflation, for a real-dollar cut,’ McConnell said on the Senate floor, according to The Hill.”
“If it is signed into law [and it will be], the bill will direct $19.8 billion toward Ukraine and NATO military aid and an additional $12.9 billion to help the Ukrainian economy as it battles through the Russia-Ukraine war, The Hill added.”
“The House is expected to vote on the bill Thursday night or Friday morning. Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman tweeted that since the Senate added several items to the bill, it could ‘take a while to process and get to the House.’”
They did vote on the bill, and they passed it, and it didn’t take very long at all. It’s called “take the money and run.”
Here is a full list of Republican senators [traitors] who voted in favor of the bill (in alphabetical order):
Roy Blunt (Missouri)
John Boozman (Arkansas)
Shelley Capito (West Virginia)
Susan Collins (Maine)
John Cornyn (Texas)
Tom Cotton (Arkansas)
Lindsey Graham (South Carolina)
Jim Inhofe (Oklahoma)
Mitch McConnell (Kentucky)
Jerry Moran (Kansas)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Rob Portman (Ohio)
Mitt Romney (Utah)
Mike Rounds (South Dakota)
Richard Shelby (Alabama)
John Thune (South Dakota)
Roger Wicker (Mississippi)
Todd Young (Indiana)
This “Gang of 18” should go down in infamy, regarding their unnecessary capitulation to the democrats, and their disregard of their constituents and conservative Americans everywhere.
From the mouth of liberal propaganda news headquarters itself, CNN, we hear some of the lowlights of the omnibus bill.
Tami Luhby and Katie Lobosco report for CNN, “What’s in the massive government funding bill? Some [most, if not all] Congress members may not even know.”
And that’s another thing. Who actually wrote-up this 4,000 plus page behemoth of a bill?
And shouldn’t the actual author(s) be published on the bill?
Just sayin’.
“The House passed a $1.7 trillion yearlong federal government spending bill on Friday, paving the way for it to be signed into law by President Joe Biden.”
“The legislation includes $772.5 billion for nondefense discretionary programs and $858 billion in defense funding, according to a bill summary from Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations. That would represent an increase in spending in both areas for fiscal year 2023.”
A few hundred billion dollars here, and a few hundred billion dollars there, and pretty soon we’re talking about some real money!
“The sweeping package includes roughly $45 billion in emergency assistance to Ukraine and NATO allies, and an overhaul of the electoral vote-counting law…”
“It also would provide a boost in spending for disaster aid [But not for Florida hurricane relief, however. Hmmm, I wonder why?]…, and additional funds for the US Capitol Police, according to Leahy’s summary and one from Sen. Richard ‘Benedict Arnold’ Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee.”
So, democrat politicians (and The Gang of 18) want the police defunded for us, but additionally funded for them. Isn’t that special?
“And the legislation contains several major Medicaid provisions, particularly one that could disenroll up to 19 million people from the nation’s health insurance program for low-income Americans.”
Well, isn’t that wonderful as well?
“However, the bill, which runs more than 4,000 pages [more than three times the size of The Bible], left out several measures that some lawmakers had fought to include. An expansion of the child tax credit, as well as multiple other corporate and individual tax breaks, did not make it into the final bill.”
That’s odd.
“The spending bill, which would keep the government operating through September, the end of the fiscal year, is the product of lengthy negotiations between top congressional Democrats and Republicans.”
Ahh, yes…, we love those “top congressional democrats and republicans!” Especially our top “bend over” republican snakes in the grass!
“Here’s what’s in the bill [some of the lowlights]:”
“More aid for Ukraine: The spending bill would provide roughly $45 billion to help support Ukraine’s efforts to defend itself against Russia’s attack.”
We surely can’t leave Ukraine off of the gravy train.
“Also, it would provide $13 billion for economic support to the Ukrainian government. Other funds would address humanitarian and infrastructure needs…”
Our own economy and humanitarian, and infrastructure needs are all good here, so…
“Emergency disaster assistance: The bill would appropriate more than $38 billion in emergency funding to help Americans in the west and southeast affected by recent natural disasters, including tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding and wildfires.”
Like I mentioned earlier, Florida hurricane relief is not included here for some reason. I wonder why that would be?
“Overhaul of the electoral vote-counting law: A provision in the legislation aims at making it harder to overturn a certified presidential election, the first legislative response to the US Capitol insurrection and then-President Donald Trump’s campaign to stay in power despite his loss in 2020. The legislation would clarify the vice president’s role while overseeing the certification of the electoral result to be completely ceremonial.”
This is the “how dare you attempt to question our illegitimate election results” portion of the program.
“Funding for January 6 attack prosecutions: The bill would provide $2.6 billion for US Attorneys, which would include funding efforts “to further support prosecutions related to the January 6 attack on the Capitol and domestic terrorism cases,” according to a fact sheet from the House Appropriations Committee.”
“Domestic terrorists” as in concerned parents at school board meetings?
And would that “further support of prosecutions related to January 6” include Nancy Pelosi and all of her FBI co-conspirators?
“The package also gives $11.3 billion to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, including for efforts to investigate extremist violence and domestic terrorism. The funding measures are part of nearly $39 billion that would be for the Justice Department.”
We can’t neglect the support for our politically weaponized versions of our own Gestapo and KGB, can we?
“Changes to Medicaid and other health care programs: The spending bill would phase out the requirement that prevented states from disenrolling Medicaid recipients…”
Hmmm, seems legit.
“Under the spending bill, states would be able to start evaluating Medicaid enrollees’ eligibility and terminating their coverage as of April 1.”
Those damn Medicaid enrollees, wanting to be all heathy and stuff!
“Up to 19 million people could lose their Medicaid benefits, according to estimates, though many would be eligible for other coverage.”
Exactly what “other coverage” would that be?
Maybe we’ll get the special kind of coverage that Congress enjoys instead! Ya, that must be it!
“Plus, the package would provide more money for the National Institutes of Health [NIH] and the Centers for Disease Control…”
Oh, goodie! More money for the political, fake science, “doctors” to promote liberal control policies, propaganda, and out and out lies.
“It would include nearly $53 billion to address higher inflation [by actually increasing inflation] and $2.7 billion, a 25% increase, to support critical services and housing assistance for veterans and their families.”
I would really like to know exactly how this money will “support critical services” and “housing assistance.”
Why do I think we would be way, way better served by just turning this money over directly to an organization like Tunnels to Towers or Wounded Warrior Project?
“The bill would also help families who have had their food stamp benefits stolen since October 1 through what’s known as ‘SNAP skimming. It would provide them with retroactive federal reimbursement of the funds, which criminals steal by attaching devices to point-of-sale machines or PIN pads to get card numbers and other information from electronic benefits transfer cards.”
Say what? Is this really that big of a thing? I’m sure it would be hilarious to see exactly how this would be processed and administered. Why do I think the criminal will find a way to double dip on the skimming and the reimbursement? Just a wild, but educated, guess.
“Help to pay utility bills: The bill would provide $5 billion for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Combined with the $1 billion contained in the earlier continuing resolution, this would be the largest regular appropriation for the program, according to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association. Home heating and cooling costs, and the applications for federal aid in paying the bills have soared this year.”
Here’s an idea! Why not just reverse some of the idiotic democrat anti-energy policy, and nip this in the bud, so people won’t need assistance to begin with? Of course, with that scenario, people would be less dependent on government, and we can’t have that!
“Additional funding for the US Capitol Police: The bill would provide an additional $132 million for the Capitol Police for a total of nearly $735 million. It would allow the department to hire up to 137 sworn officers and 123 support and civilian personnel, bringing the force to a projected level of 2,126 sworn officers and 567 civilians.”
As I mentioned earlier, democrat politicians (and The Gang of 18) want the police defunded for us, but additionally funded for them. They require 2,700 people to protect 635 representatives? That’s roughly four people for every representative. Boy, they must really be important! On our end of things, we’re lucky to have one police officer for every 300 of us.
“It would also give $2 million to provide off-campus security for lawmakers in response to evolving and growing threats.”
I’m not even sure what to say about this. If I did, it would be nothing good.
“More resources for children’s mental health and for substance abuse: The bill would provide more funds to increase access to mental health services for children and schools. It also would invest more money to address the opioid epidemic and substance use disorder.”
Again, not a bad thing. But while we are allowing tons of drugs to flow over our border every day, it seems like an attempt to additionally fund our missile defense system with fly swatters.
“Investments in homelessness prevention and affordable housing: The legislation would provide $3.6 billion for homeless assistance grants, a 13% increase. It would serve more than 1 million people experiencing homelessness.”
Oh, yeah! Because these current homelessness prevention programs are working so well!
“The package also would funnel nearly $6.4 billion to the Community Development Block Grant formula program and related local economic and community development projects that benefit low and moderate income areas and people, an increase of almost $1.6 billion.”
Another stupid and wasteful program that will just continue to line the pockets of people who are talking a good game, but actually doing nothing to help these low income areas.
For a good example of these wonderfully wasteful programs, please let me refer you to one of my prior blogs:
“More support for the environment: The package would provide an additional $576 million for the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], bringing its funding up to $10.1 billion.”
More increased funding for a government agency with way too much uncontrolled power as it is.
Let me just add that all of the alphabet of government agencies, with all of their unelected Nazi wannabes, are up to no good, and are all involved in only controlling us more. That would include, for starters, in no particular order, the IRS, NSA, NIH, CDC, DHS, DEA, FBI, CIA, EPA, DOE, FCC, FEC, NRC, and the DOJ. And like I said, this is a list just for starters.
In addition, we see funding for:
A Michelle Obama “trail” for $3.6 million,
An LGBTQ museum in New York City for $3 million,
$410 million to secure foreign borders, with nothing to secure our own borders,
$7.5 million to study the “domestic radicalization phenomenon,” whatever that means. Since they feel it is a “radicalization,” I can only assume it is a study to target and minimalize normal, everyday, patriotic citizens.
And, $200 million for something called the “Gender equity and Equality Action Fund.” Here, again, I’d like to see an actual accounting of where this money is going, and how it is actually being used.
And there is more disgusting wasteful spending we will hear about as people continue to dissect this monstrosity of a bill.
Oh, and I forgot to mention they threw in a 16.5% raise for themselves. How’s that for a cherry on top?!
Thank you “Gang of 18” for your irresponsible and unexplainable support of the democrats and their continued degradation of our great country. You have officially become heroes of “the swamp,” and newly minted members of “the dark side.”

According to Newt Gingrich, former Congressman from Georgia, and Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-1999, for Fox News, “Biden, Democrats make every decision based on how it impacts America and always chose what hurts the most.”
“When Sean Hannity asked me why President Joe Biden would favor buying oil and gas from Venezuela over producing oil and gas in Texas, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Louisiana or North Dakota, something clicked in my thinking.”
Something “clicked” for me as well, although for me it “clicked” a couple of years ago. So, welcome to the party Newt, although you’re quite late.
My prior thinking was that democrats were misguided, foolish, and/or stupid, but then I came to realize the democrats’ (at least the ruling class of democrats) anti-America actions were calculated and evil, while the majority of their followers were misguided, foolish, and/or stupid, although we all know that ignorance is no excuse in the end.
Newt continues, “I was reminded of the amazing speech United Nations Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick gave at the 1984 Republican Convention, when she described the ‘blame-America-first Democrats.’”
“I suddenly realized the common thread of Biden administration policies at home and abroad is to weaken America.”
Ya think, Newt?!
Is this why it seems the republicans are always a day late and a dollar short?
“Think about the administration’s range of choices and ask yourself: Which ones would strengthen America, and which ones would weaken it?”
“In Afghanistan, Biden could have followed the advice of [some of] the professional military and withdrawn in a calm and orderly manner. This would have led to no loss of life, no abandonment of equipment, and no sense of humiliating failure. It would have made America stronger.”
“Instead, the Biden administration overruled the military, abandoned billions in equipment, fled Afghanistan in chaos [and humiliation], sacrificed 13 young Americans [soldiers], and abandoned thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of our allies. He chose to weaken America.”
Biden and his administration were then allowed to lie and deny the whole thing, without being held accountable by the fake news media.
“The Biden team could side with the demonstrators in Iran and China who are trying to overthrow dictatorships. Instead, it has made a series of weak, border-line pathetic comments. A strong America would reach out to people striving to be free. A weak America [led by a bought and paid for Joe Biden] kowtows to Xi Jinping and the Chinese communist dictatorship and grovels to the ayatollah and the Iranian tyranny, no matter how much they work against us. Once again, weakening America and strengthening our enemies is the Biden [and the democrats’] model.”
“If the United States had sustained [maintained] [its] energy independence, we would be strengthening our European allies with liquid natural gas. They could ignore Russia’s economic blackmail. A strong America would do just that. Instead, the Biden administration is pleading with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia and exonerating him from the killing of a journalist. All of Biden’s earlier tough language about Saudi Arabia being a ‘pariah state’ has dissolved. All that is left is Biden’s whimpering plea for more Saudi oil to make up for the American oil he has blocked. Again, America is weaker.”
Again, while Biden and his administration were then allowed to lie, deny, spread disinformation about the whole thing, without being held accountable by the fake news media.
“As I mentioned, Kirkpatrick was the first to clearly identify the decay of the Democrats away from strength and realism toward weakness and fantasies. Her 1984 speech captured the trajectory of madness and destruction onto which the Democrats had embarked.”
That’s close to 40 years ago already, and the democrats definitely are living in some sort of sick “fantasy” world.
“She noted that the Democrats at that time had clearly broken from the patriotic traditions of Democrat Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson and were on a new, more destructive path. She continued: ‘They said that saving Grenada from terror and totalitarianism was the wrong thing to do, they didn’t blame Cuba or the communists for threatening American students and murdering Grenadians, they blamed the United States instead.’”
“When our Marines, sent to Lebanon on a multinational peacekeeping mission with the consent of the United States Congress, were murdered in their sleep, the ‘blame America first crowd’ didn’t blame the terrorists who murdered the Marines, they blamed the United States.”
“When the Soviet Union walked out of arms control negotiations, and refused even to discuss the issues, the San Francisco Democrats didn’t blame Soviet intransigence. They blamed the United States.”
“When Marxist dictators shoot their way to power in Central America, the San Francisco Democrats don’t blame the guerrillas and their Soviet allies, they blame United States policies…”
“In the last 38 years, ‘blame America first’ has metastasized into ‘weaken America first.’”
“The patriotic courage of Presidents Truman, Kennedy and Johnson has mutated into a steadily weaker and more pathetic foreign and national security policy. It began with President Jimmy Carter and grew steadily worse with Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Biden.”
Newt’s perspective here is more of an historic one, and one from a world view.
My perspective here is more one of current affairs and current democrat policies, such as:
The promotion of criminal behavior, and the allowance of crime against law-abiding individuals and businesses.
The promotion of and the allowance of illegal immigrants crossing into our country on our southern border.
The promotion of and the allowance of the Mexican drug cartels to carry out their drug trafficking and human trafficking operations.
The creation of record high inflation, and the disinformation and denial of this record inflation.
The systematic destruction of our country’s history.
The promotion of pedophilia as an acceptable life style, and the federal protection of those involved in this lifestyle, regarding Epstein’s client list for example.
The promotion of aborting babies at any time, even after birth!
The weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI against any citizen who dares to disagree with the democrats’ stated goals and narratives.
The attack on fossil fuel production in our country, even though fossil fuels still provide 90-95% of the energy our country requires.
The promotion of Climate Change as a world-ending, human created, problem, and the promotion of Green New Deal policies and laws that would supposedly have some type of positive effect on this supposed problem.
The promotion of pandemic policies, vaccines, and mandates, which had no basis in science, but rather were all politically driven, with no consideration of the well-being of the American people, or the people of the world for that matter.
The coordinated assault on our election systems and procedures.
The degradation of our education system, and the promotion of liberal narrative indoctrination.
Their attacks on our Constitution, particularly the 1st and 2nd amendments.
It would seem the democrats certainly have left no stone unturned in their attack on our great country!
I agree with Newt when he says, “Today, the most reliable predictor of Biden administration (or Democrat Party) policy is whether it will strengthen or weaken America. If it will strengthen America, they almost certainly will not do it. If it will weaken America, they almost certainly will.”
There can be no doubt that “Weaken America First” is the Democrats’ Goal.

Yes, my friends…, let’s just cut to the chase and identify democrats for what they are…, willing pawns of the devil.
This political battle has evolved quite rapidly in the last few years, or so, and there is no longer any question about it.
I’m sorry for all of you supposed moderate democrats out there that think you’re exempt from this, because you’re not. There is really nothing moderate about your support of all of these evil extremists and their anti-God, anti-Life, anti-America and America Last policies.
And sadly, many of these people claim to be Catholic!
Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, for example.
Before you can do anything else with your life, all of you “moderate” democrats have got to wake up.
We are in the midst of a full-blown war of Good vs. Evil, and there is no middle ground.
The latest example of satanic puppetry of the democrats is their attack on the Catholic’s Rosary.
Catholics, of course, already understand the implications and evilness of this.
If you’re not Catholic, and the whole Rosary thing is a little unclear in your mind…, let’s first clear up what “The Rosary” is.
“The Rosary” is a structured prayer to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, commemorating Jesus and events of his life.
“A Rosary” is a string of beads, with a Cross, used for keeping count while praying “The Rosary.”
The word “Rosary” comes from Latin and means a garland of roses, the rose being one of the flowers used to symbolize the Virgin Mary.
The Rosary is a devotion in honor of the Virgin Mary. It consists of a set number of specific prayers. First are the introductory prayers: one Apostles’ Creed, one Our Father or the Lord’s Prayer), three Hail Mary’s, and one Glory Be.
The prayer begins, “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.” This is nothing other than the greeting the angel Gabriel gave Mary in Luke 1:28.
The next part reads, “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.” This was exactly what Mary’s cousin Elizabeth said to her in Luke 1:42. The only thing that has been added to these two verses are the names “Jesus” and “Mary,” to make clear who is being referred to. So the first part of the “Hail Mary” is entirely biblical.
The second part of the Hail Mary is not taken straight from Scripture, but it is entirely biblical in the thoughts it expresses. It reads, “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”
So those are the prayers of The Rosary. Between the introductory prayers and the concluding prayer is the meat of The Rosary: the “decades.” Each decade, there are fifteen in a full rosary (which takes about forty-five minutes to say), is composed of ten “Hail Marys.” Each decade is bracketed between an Our Father and a Glory Be, so each decade actually has twelve prayers.
Each decade is devoted to a mystery regarding the life of Jesus or his Mother. Here the word “mystery” refers to a truth of the faith, not to something incomprehensible. The fifteen mysteries are divided into three groups of five: the Joyful, the Sorrowful, and the Glorious. Let’s look at the mysteries.
The Joyful Mysteries are these: the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38), the Visitation (Luke 1:40-56), the Nativity (Luke 2:6-20), the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:21-39), and the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41-51).
Then come the Sorrowful Mysteries: the Agony in the Garden (Matt. 26:36-46), the Scourging (Matt. 27:26), the Crowning with Thorns (Matt. 27:29), the Carrying of the Cross (John 19:17), and the Crucifixion (Luke 23:33-46).
The final Mysteries are the Glorious: the Resurrection (Luke 24:1-12), the Ascension (Luke 24:50-51), the Descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4), the Assumption of Mary into Heaven (Rev. 12), and Her Coronation (cf. Rev. 12:1).
Hopefully that helps to bring some understanding to The Rosary, if you had any questions about it.
Now, let’s take a look at what all of the democrat fuss is about, regarding “The Rosary,” and why I was inspired to reply to the democrats’ evil commentary and accusations.
According to The National Review, and Dan McLaughlin, Atlantic Magazine claims “Rosaries Are Worse Than Fire Bombings”
Oh. Really? That sounds like it’s coming straight from the Devil’s mouth. The Devil would think that “Rosaries Are Worse Than Fire Bombings,” by far. No contest.
“When “Jane’s Revenge,” a radical pro-abortion group, takes public credit for firebombing crisis-pregnancy centers, this is how Atlantic writers react, quoting a comparison to ‘moral panic’ over Antifa during the 2020 riots that cost $2 billion in damages and killed two dozen people:”
“Right-wing media outlets have provided ample coverage of this new threat, and anti-abortion politicians have demanded government action to address it.”
And, why wouldn’t they?
“But the group’s practical significance remains in question. Just how meaningful is Jane’s Revenge?”
And who is behind Jane’s Revenge, and why do we not know this. Calling the FBI…, hello FBI…, are you out there?
Just saying.
Anyway…, The Atlantic continues, “Pro-abortion-rights activists have engaged in vandalism in recent weeks, and the blog posts associated with Jane’s Revenge are actively encouraging the behavior. But that does not imply the existence of a complex, coordinated campaign of violence.”
Oh. No…,, not at all.
“In addition to downplaying Jane’s Revenge and its campaign of terror, The Atlantic fails to contextualize it by omitting the activities of ‘Ruth Sent Us,’ the group that published the home addresses of Supreme Court justices to direct protesters to their homes, as well as the assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a pro-abortion fanatic.”
“Contrast how Panneton frames The Rosary. First, the Atlantic’s subtitle hilariously refers to it as a ‘sacrament,’ an error that can only be explained by having had zero Catholics review the article before publication. Even an ex-Catholic who made it through the third grade would have caught that one. There are seven sacraments, and The Rosary is not one of them:”
“Just as the AR-15 rifle has become a sacred object for Christian nationalists in general, the rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or ‘rad trad’) Catholics.”
Only in the minds of democrats being manipulated by Satan.
“On this extremist fringe, Rosary beads have been woven into a conspiratorial politics and absolutist gun culture. These armed radical traditionalists have taken up a spiritual notion that The Rosary can be a weapon in the fight against evil and turned it into something dangerously literal.”
The Rosary is absolutely “a weapon in the fight against evil.” The Devil hates The Rosary.
According to CNA, The Catholic News Agency, and Zelda Caldwell, ‘“The Atlantic’ publishes article on The Rosary as symbol of far-right, violent extremism.”
“Another article published (recently) in The Atlantic magazine suggests The Rosary has become a symbol of violent, right-wing extremism in the United States.”
“The article set off a frenzy of reactions among Catholics, ranging from amusement to grave concern over what some see as anti-Catholic sentiment.”
“The magazine later changed the article’s headline from ‘How the Rosary Became an Extremist Symbol,’ by Daniel Panneton, to ‘How Extremist Gun Culture is Trying to Co-Opt the Rosary.’ Among other edits to the text, an image of bullet holes forming the shape of rosary was replaced with a picture of a rosary.”
“These editorial changes, nonetheless, left the article’s thesis that there is a connection between The Rosary and extremism intact. The author’s contention was based, in part, on his observations about the use of the rosary on social media and rosaries sold online.”
“The Rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or ‘rad trad’) Catholics,” writes Daniel Panneton of the sacramental use in prayer by Catholics for centuries.”
‘“Militia culture, a fetishism of Western civilization, and masculinist anxieties have become mainstays of the far right in the U.S., and ‘rad-trad’ Catholics have now taken up residence in this company,’ writes Panneton, whose article includes three links to Roman Catholic Gear, an online shop that sells rosaries.”
“Asked to comment on the article, Robert P. George, professor of political theory at Princeton University and former chairman of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), told CNA:”
‘“It looks to me like the guy who is politicizing The Rosary and treating it as a weapon in the culture war is … Daniel Panneton. Although it’s hard to miss the classic anti-Catholic tropes in the piece, perhaps he isn’t actually a bigot. Maybe he just overwrought and needs to take an aspirin or two and lie down for a while.’”
“Chad Pecknold, theology professor at Catholic University of America, told CNA the publication of the article points to a ‘theo-political’ conflict in the culture.”
‘“The politically elite core in left-liberal media hate Western civilization and they mean to topple every natural and supernatural sign of it. That’s why it’s not sufficient to simply run a piece on right-wing gun cultures, but they must tie it to something which is theologically central to the civilization they feel most threatens their progressive ziggurat. It’s a sign of the theo-political conflict which now grips us (What he’s referring to is simply Good vs. Evil.); even still, they severely underestimate the power of Our Lady to reign victorious over evil,’ Pecknold said.”
“Fr. Pius Pietrzyk, OP, a Dominican priest of the Province of St. Joseph, told CNA, ‘The article is a long-running stream of inaccuracies, logical fallacies, and distortions.’”
This is what the great deceiver, Satan, does best…, mislead, lie and distort, and guide his minions, in this case Daniel Panneton and The Atlantic magazine, to mislead, lie and distort.
“The author, he said, fails to understand that ‘the notion of “spiritual combat” has been with the Church from time immemorial. Recall that a traditional view of Confirmation is that it made one a “soldier for Christ.’””
You can consider me a “soldier for Christ.”
What side do you fall on?
This is a much more important question than just a political one.

But first, let’s establish what we’re talking about here.
Harvard’s “Colonel Watchdog” publication says, “Watchdog journalism is a form of investigative journalism where journalists, authors or publishers of a news publication fact-check and interview political and public figures to increase accountability. Watchdog journalism usually takes on a form of beat reporting about specific aspects and issues.”
Author Thomas Hanitzsch, from his book “Deconstructing Journalism Culture: Toward a Universal Theory,” writes, “In the course of their work, watchdog journalists gather information about wrongdoings of people in power and deliver it to the public, so the public can understand what happens in society and stop wrongdoings. Watchdog journalism is different from propagandist journalists, who often report articles from a government’s perspective. Due to watchdog journalism’s unique features, it also often works as the fourth estate (or the fourth branch of government). The general issues, topics, or scandals that watchdog journalists cover are political corruption and any wrongdoings of people in power such as government officials or corporation executives. One of the important things that watchdog journalists have to do is uncover hidden evidence about wrongdoings.”
According to The Lufkin Daily News, “America’s Founders regarded a free press as so vital to the new nation that they took care to include that right in the First Amendment to the Constitution.”
“The Founders spoke glowingly about the press as a pillar of democracy and guarantor of liberty. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, famously wrote in 1787 that ‘were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.’”
“George Washington framed the issue of free expression in almost apocalyptic terms: ‘If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.’”
“Yet discussing the free press of their day, the Founders also could often sound like those who are decrying ‘fake news’ in 2020.”
“Under a barrage of criticism from newspapers published by his political opponents, Washington painted journalists as ‘infamous scribblers.’ Benjamin Franklin, himself a very successful newspaper publisher, described the press of his time as a resentful, vicious institution comparable to the Spanish Inquisition.”
“Jefferson frequently condemned the press as passionately as he had advanced their right to publish freely. ‘I deplore … the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write for them,’ he wrote in 1814. ‘Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper,’ he complained in a letter to another friend.”
“For good measure he wrote to his ally in Congress, the Massachusetts politician Barnabas Bidwell: ‘As for what is not true, you will always find abundance in the newspapers.’”
“On this Independence Day 244 years later, it’s worth reflecting on the lessons the Founders have for us as we assess the role and the practices of the news media today.”
“The first lesson is that while the nation’s leaders and institutions may chafe under the public criticism that accompanies reporting of their shortcomings, the role of the press in holding those leaders and institutions accountable is indispensable to the workings of a democratic society.”
“Most importantly, the press’ proper role must be recognized by the leaders and institutions being held accountable.”
“As abused as he was by the partisan press, Jefferson nevertheless declared, ‘I am … for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents.’”
“Among those slinging partisan unjust criticisms was the newspaper co-founded by James Madison, who reasoned that ‘some degree of abuse is inseparable from the proper use of everything, and in no instance is this more true than in that of the press.’”
“Yet, he went on to argue that trying to regulate the ‘abuse’ of the press threatens to strangle its vitality and utility to a free people: ‘To the press alone, checkered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.’”
“And therein lies the most fundamental lesson the Founders have for us in 2020: The press and the government may often have an adversarial relationship — but the government must not attempt to delegitimize the press and its work because they are essential to a free society.”
“Would any of us want to live in a country where the news media isn’t freely allowed to report on the actions of its government? Any harm done by an overreaching press would be nothing compared to a government left unchecked. As much as the news media may rub some the wrong way, it is frightening to think of a society with no free press.”
I think we can all agree that none of us would want to, “live in a country where the news media isn’t freely allowed to report on the actions of its government.”
The problem is, there isn’t much of the media remaining which is actually doing this.
In fact, we see the majority of the “news” media choosing to ignore many stories by partaking in propaganda by omission, like Hillary’s emails, Hillary’s promotion of the Russian hoax against President Trump, Hunter Biden’s escapades along with Illegitimate Joe’s involvement, or the manipulation of the 2020 election, for example, or outrightly promoting false democrat narratives, like the media promoting the Russian hoax against President Trump for over three straight years, along with their daily regurgitation of democrat talking points.
As much as the Founding Fathers questioned the free press back in their day, I think they would be stunned and greatly alarmed at the role the media is playing with our government, and politics in general, today.
Yes, for the most part, the media in 2022 has completed its evolution from government Watch Dogs to liberal government Lap Dogs.

Does “Nazi-like” seem a bit extreme when describing Google’s recent behavior?
Perhaps to you, but not to someone who has experienced their censorship firsthand.
Let me lay-out my case against Google for you, then you can be the judge.
I launched my blog, “MrEricksonRules.com,” towards the end of 2017, so, 2018 was really my first full year.
It was tough sledding, getting my blog off the ground, and in 2018 my blog was viewed a total of 2,882 times the whole year, or about 9 times a day. It was a little discouraging, but I kept plugging.
The next year, in 2019, my blog jumped up to 10,961 views, or about 30 views per day. This was quite an improvement, and my blog was definitely trending upward.
My blog really started to take-off in 2020! During the months of January through October my conservative, pro-Trump, blog received 57,571 views! That’s 5,757 views per day! My viewership was growing exponentially! And I was very excited about it.
Well, the growth of by blog seemingly ended the following month, in November of 2020, presidential election month 2020.
In November of 2020, my views dropped to 1,800, then to 1,300 in December, as the fairness of the election was questioned. Ever since then my average views have dipped to about 1,000 a month. My blog viewership has basically returned to my 2019 levels.
So, what switch was flipped, regarding my conservative blog, towards the end of October 2020?
How was my blog “flagged” by Google and their search algorithm, to somehow limit the people gaining access to my blog?
Oh…, and I forgot to mention that this apparent censorship of my blog by Google occurred while I was paying Google, on a monthly basis, to promote my blog!!!
Typical shameless “Demonazi” behavior.
When I questioned Google about my obvious censorship, I only received denials, claims of ignorance, and then being brushed-off. It was a miracle I was able to actually make my case to a human in the first place. All of these tech giants are very good at building an apparent impenetrable wall around themselves.
You may say, “Why do you single out Google, when there are many internet search engines?”
Well, Google handles over 90 percent of all search queries worldwide, and Google is undoubtedly dominating the global search engine market share. As of November 2021, a whopping 91.4 percent of all search queries conducted across all search engine providers are done through the internet giant.
That’s why.
And I’m sure I’m not alone with my experience with Google.
I’m sure many conservative, pro-Trump, sources of information and opinion were targeted and discriminated against by this arm of the Demonazi propaganda machine, in an attempt to sway the 2020 presidential election.
As it turns out, they (the democrats) found other ways to “sway” the 2020 election…, but that’s a different blog for a different day.

Yes, God please continue to bless America…, and we will continue to fight to preserve the greatest, and the freest, country, under God, this world has to offer.
This is just a reminder to those who desire to ruin our great country, that the good people of America are not going to let it happen!
This is a message to Illegitimate Joe Biden, Cackling Kamala Harris, all of the Biden administration liberal hacks, the weaponized Department of (in)Justice, The Federal Bureau of Investigation (the new Gestapo), Dr. Evil…, er, I mean Dr. Fauci and all of his FDA, CDC, and NIAID treasonous accomplices, all of the anti-American democrat (and republican) senators and congress people, all of the swamp monsters who inhabit our federal systems, the complicit and propagandistic fake news media, and all of the liberal democrat puppets out there who either hate America as well, or blindly support all of the above.
Our message is: We know who and what you are. No matter how hard you try to destroy this great nation, the good people of this country will always defy you, and resist you, and stand up for what is right.
No matter how hard you try, we patriots will “stand beside” this “land that we love.” We will not let you succeed.
God bless America.

You really didn’t have to set the bar so high for yourself!
And why did you think we needed to “build back” at all?
In case you and your partners in crime didn’t notice, we were doing pretty good before you and your fraudulent gang weaseled your way into power.
What most people don’t realize is, is that your definition of “build back better” really is just demo-nazi code for “destroy America as we know it.”
We were doing historically good before the demo-nazis unleashed the virus on us all, with the help of your friends over in China, helping to pave the way for your illegitimate “victory.”
It just goes to show how far evil will go to obtain power.
Fauci’s emails tell the whole story of the origins of the virus, and China’s actions early on in 2020 clearly demonstrated their intentions, and the intentions of you and your comrades.
Millions of people paid for your election with their lives, but it doesn’t even phase you or your ilk one bit.
You and your type doesn’t care if you have to burn the whole world down, as long as you get to rule over the ashes.
Like I’ve said before…, hopefully some of our freedoms, and some of our country is still left by the 2022 and 2024 elections, which hopefully you don’t manage to steal as well.

Thanks for ruining just about everything we had going in this country, in only your first eight months in office.
That’s pretty impressive…, if your goal is to bring our country to its knees.
It’s actually incredibly disgraceful.
And let’s be absolutely clear…, YOU ARE A DISGRACE.
You are a national embarrassment.
Just to let you know, Joe, the Biden name will now go down in history as being traitorous, treasonous, inept, and just plain evil.
Congratulations.
The Biden name will become synonymous with America’s downfall, or America’s near downfall.
Let’s all hope it’s only the latter.
And to think, all of this damage is being done to our country by virtue of a corrupt and fraudulent election.
What exactly is “all of this damage” you may ask?
I hope you have a little time, because here we go.
Let’s start with energy…, not Sleepy Joe’s lack of it, but energy as in fuel.
In eight short months, “The national average price of regular gas rose to $3.24 a gallon, up from $2.18 a year ago, according to AAA.” And we have gone from energy independence, back to begging OPEC, Iran and Russia for more oil.
The “dumocrats” somehow equate higher gas prices with a step towards addressing climate change, when in all actuality, they’re just taking money out of our pockets at the pump and at the checkout counter, due the increased costs of products getting to the store.
Thanks, “Cognitively challenged” Joe.
Next we have the “immigration” situation at our borders.
The northern border with Canada and the southern border with Mexico are actually closed, to law abiding citizens and law abiding economic activity.
Only illegal immigrants, the drug cartels, and human sex traffickers, are allowed to enter our country unimpeded, at record numbers.
And that’s only the ones we know about.
Rest assured, the numbers of people getting into our country illegally are actually at least twice as high as what is reported.
These hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants will strain our law enforcement, our medical system, our education system, and our economic aid programs, intended for our legal citizens.
Thanks, “Sleepy” Joe.
Then we have the EPIC FAILURE of Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, which he sees as some sort of success. Let’s recap Biden’s Afghanistan success story.
We ran out of Afghanistan after 20 years there, with our tails between our legs.
We lost the lives of 13 soldiers and hundreds of Afghanis unnecessarily…, then Biden’s boys droned a car full of children in response.
Of all the thousands of people transported out of Afghanistan, only 3% of them were Afghanis who were entitled to leave, based on their service to our troops there.
There are still hundreds of Americans stuck in, the now Taliban controlled, Afghanistan, who Biden left behind, along with the thousands of Afghani people and their families who were told we would take care of them when the time came.
We abandoned $85 billion worth of equipment there, immediately making the Taliban the fifth best equipped army in the world.
That’s a real nice few weeks of work there, “President” Sippy Cup!
Thanks, “Clueless” Joe.
That brings us to the Vaccination mandates of a vaccine that neither actually protects anyone from the virus, nor stops the spreading of the virus.
So, what will these mandates accomplish?
We will have displaced military personnel, displaced health care workers (while in the midst of a so-called pandemic), displaced teachers, and hundreds of professions displacing workers, all while Congress and the CDC, and their staffs get vaccination waivers.
Do you get what’s going on here yet?
Thanks for your inspiring leadership in this area, “Creepy” Joe.
Then we have Joe’s “weaponization” of the DOJ and the FBI against parents who only want to speak out at school board meetings in support of their children!
“President” Biden has asked the DOJ to classify these concerned parents as domestic terrorists, in an attempt to quell their non-compliance.
Have we leap-frogged Russia, in hopes of surpassing China, with this level of government control?
I mean, it is what it is.
Thanks, “Stumbling, fumbling, bumbling” Joe.
Your first eight months in office have been defined by your many anti-American directives, epic failures in foreign policy, along with your constant lying, denying, and your arrogant refusal to face any questioning, even from your own, friendly, fake news, and we only have over three years left to endure.
Again, the Biden name will go down in history as being traitorous, treasonous, painfully inept, and just plain evil.
Congratulations, Illegitimate Joe.

The term “Decepticon” may be a foreign one to many of my readers, and a very familiar term to others.
The “Decepticons” are a part of the “Transformers” family. That may help more of my readers.
The name “Decepticon” refers to deception, or attempting to deceive.
That’s where I’m trying to go with this.
Let’s call out some of our political “decepticons”…, those pretending to be Independents, those pretending to be Republicans, and those pretending to be Americans!
Regarding The Senate…, they say the democrats “control The Senate,” which means they control the agenda, and what gets voted on and what doesn’t. This is because the Senate is split 50-50, with Vice President Harris breaking the tie, making it 51-50.
But wait…, is it really? How can that be? There are only 48 democrat senators in The Senate.
It’s true.
If you look at the make-up of The Senate, there are 50 republicans, 48 democrats, and 2 “independents.”
The two senators who identify as being an “independent” are Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Senator Angus King of Maine, however, they also say these senators choose to caucus with the democrats, thus adding to their numbers.
I say they shouldn’t be able to have it both ways. Either identify as a democrat or not.
This brings to the forefront the most egregious “decepticon” of all, Senator Bernie Sanders. Honestly, I had never even heard of Senator Angus King before.
Does anyone actually believe that Bernie Sanders is an Independent?
I mean he has run for president as a democrat (TWICE), and his socialist ideologies would even place him on the far left edge of the democrat party these days, which is really saying something! Russia and China would probably even have to reign him in a bit!
Our next group of “decepticons” would be those “republicans” who should really identify as democrats, and those whose allegiance really lies with “the swamp.”
Heading up the “swamp” list of “decepticons” are Senators Mitch “Swamp Turtle” McConnell and Lindsey Graham.
Those “republicans” who we see “transforming” into democrats from time to time are, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski.
The list of the democrat “decepticons” masquerading as Americans, while disregarding the oath they all took to follow and protect The Constitution, is quite long, in fact.
Just for starters, this list would include “the big guy,” the “illegitimate guy,” Joe Biden, “Cackling” Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Maxine Waters, Jerrold Nadler, Adam Schiff, Pramiya Jayapal, Eric Swalwell, and Cori Bush. And again, that’s just for starters.
Yes, my friends, it’s getting to the point where the democrat “decepticons” don’t even bother to hide the fact that they’re anti-American anymore. This can be done when they aren’t even worried about the opinion of voters anymore, since the democrats can just manipulate the vote in their favor…, and get away with it.

Mr. Erickson Rules!
