***The First Thanksgiving in North America was Catholic*** [From Tradition in Action-The TRUTH about Our Catholic History] 4 minute 42 second video - youtube.com/watch?v=4FguJcXjrSo On September 8, 1565, Admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and 800 Spanish settlers founded the city of St. Augustine in Spanish La Florida. As soon as they were ashore, the landing party celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving. [ The word “Eucharist” means “thanksgiving,” and so it is providence that the first Thanksgiving in America was the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. ] Afterward, Don Menéndez set out a meal and invited the native Seloy tribe to join them in the feast and festival. The celebrant of the Mass was St. Augustine’s first pastor, Fr. Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales, and the feast day was that of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In his personal chronicle, Fr. Lopez wrote that “the Indians imitated all they saw done.” What was the meal that followed? From the records of the time, it would …More

O Canada, what happened to you? I remember visiting there as a child and Ontario was a clean, family friendly province that felt like an English-speaking Netherlands with pretty well-kept flower beds alongside highways. Had an occasion to return several years ago as an adult and it's all Indian shops, tattoo parlors, bars, & CBD stores!
Tucho Must Be Removed: On 25 November, Cardinal Víctor Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, said at a press conference on monogamy that, when he was a student in Rome 40 years ago, there was a joke that "Romans had their wife, but most of them also had another woman and even another man". ElWanderer.com comments that Tucho's telling of such a coarse joke shows very low moral standards: an inability to distinguish between what is fitting and what is not, and between what is pure and what is vulgar. Tucho's words are sadly consistent with his earlier erotic writings: "I also wonder what circles he was moving in as a student to hear that kind of talk." ElWanderer.com insists that Tucho must be removed.
Tucho: "Quando ero studente qui a Roma, quarant’anni fa, si diceva che i romani avevano la loro moglie, ma che la maggioranza aveva anche un’altra donna e anche un uomo. Non si sapeva se ridere o piangere."
Whether it's the protest-industrial complex run by left-wing activist groups and bankrolled by unhinged progressive billionaires' dark money NGO networks, nonstop leftist corporate media campaigns designed to delegitimize Trump and sway sentiment polls, judicial warfare waged by radicalized judges, constant orchestrated scandals and leaks, the involvement of foreign-aligned NGOs, student-driven pressure movements, or even the weaponization of far-left militant groups - all of these elements function as interconnected spokes in a much larger color-revolution wheel - a regime change operation orchestrated by leftist billionaire kings and Democrats. The latest example - the scripted "Seditious Six" video urging the military to "refuse illegal orders" without specifying any - fits textbook color-revolution pressure messaging. It reads as if the script were lifted straight from a CIA playbook for overseas regime change operations, using pressure campaigns so obvious now that even the …
US-General Flynn fordert Trump zu einer nationalen Ansprache zur Bedrohung durch eine Farbrevolution auf "Ob es sich nun um den von linken Aktivistengruppen betriebenen und von den intransparenten NGO-Netzwerken skrupelloser progressiver Milliardäre finanzierten Protestkomplex handelt, um die unaufhörlichen Kampagnen linker Konzernmedien zur Delegitimierung Trumps und zur Beeinflussung von Meinungsumfragen, um den von radikalisierten Richtern geführten Justizkrieg, um die ständigen inszenierten Skandale und Leaks, um die Beteiligung auslandsnaher NGOs, um studentische Druckbewegungen oder gar um die Instrumentalisierung linksextremer militanter Gruppen – All diese Elemente fungieren als miteinander verbundene Speichen in einem viel größeren Rad der Farbrevolution – einer Operation zum Regimewechsel, orchestriert von linken Milliardären und Demokraten. Das jüngste Beispiel – das inszenierte Video der „Aufrührerischen Sechs“, in dem das Militär aufgefordert wird, „…More
Locals in the village of Morcá, Colombia, were left stunned after an image resembling the face of the Virgin Mary appeared on the side of a mountain. Residents say the formation emerged around three months ago when part of the rock naturally broke away, but many believe the likeness is a sign of Mary’s presence and protection. Since photos and videos went viral, crowds of pilgrims and curious visitors have been traveling to the site, praying and leaving flowers. Others remain skeptical, calling it a coincidence or natural pattern in the rock.
« Suddenly, the NYT turns on Venezuelan Nobel winner for bringing up election fraud| Thanksgiving Day is about something more important than roast turkey » 'Rigorously vetted': The Biden administration's final insult Amid the incredible chaos of Joe Biden's Afghanistan pullout, the importation of thousands of Afghan 'allies' was probably the worst aspect, worse than even the abandonment of billions of dollars of U.S. weaponry to the Taliban's avowed terrorists. Today's events show that we're still living with the consequences. We see that now with the terrorist attack on the U.S. National Guard members in Washington, D.C. by an Afghan national imported in by Joe Biden in what was ridiculously called Operation Allies Welcome. The shooter who was brought in with that program lay in wait for two National Guard members and then shot them at point blank range, leaving them in critical condition. They will not be spending Thanksgiving with their families. According to the Washington Post: …
Pope Leo XIV began today his first foreign trip, to Turkey and then Lebanon. During the flight to Ankara, he spoke about the importance of peace, adding that all men and women to truly be brothers and sisters: "Despite our differences, despite our different religions and beliefs, we are all brothers and sisters, and I hope to play a part in promoting peace and unity throughout the world." Speaking to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the country’s diplomatic corps, Leo XIV praised Turkey’s historic role as a bridge between East and West, at the crossroads of religions and cultures. He quoted his predecessor, Pope Francis, as saying that the wars ravaging the world today amount to a "third world war fought piecemeal". "We are now experiencing a phase marked by a heightened level of global conflict," he said. "We must not give in to this! The future of humanity is at stake." Regarding Christians in Turkey, who form only a small minority following the murderous expulsions of the early 20…More
“ Despite our differences, despite our different religions and beliefs, we are all brothers and sisters”. There is no way to reconcile that with Islamic doctrine, or with the Koran. L14 is merely showing that he is - or his advisers are - ignorant of Islam. He and they have no right be so ignorant. He has no right to pontificate on matters he knows nothing of.
Mark 16:15-16 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
This is evil and satanic. I felt a disturbance in the force with this, I can feel in my psyche they have already done this, centralized patient records and data; and it is like a feeling of psychospiritual intrusion, like invasion of the body snatchers. Who might decide who is worth preserving and who is worth targeting for extermination with a centralized system with You Know Who has the backdoor key of entry.. just saying, This feels satanic.
