Good bye 2020, Hello 2021! by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

This past year has just ended, out with the old, in with the new.  The year 2020 will go into the archive folder, forever stored in the memory card of the gray matter of our mind, as memories of long ago. Some memories fade and some memories flourish; they’re all there and they have the potential to be retrieved at some point in our life-history. Each day holds a blank screen in front of us, and each one of us has the ability to make it be filled with a life well lived. We pause and give wonder, what 2021 has in store, no one knows, all we can do is hope and pray for the upcoming New Year. It’s remarkable to note that the New Year of January 1 comes after Christmas Day of December 25, a week, seven days from one celebration to the next.   This upcoming year has 12 months, 52 weeks, 366 days, 8,784 hours, 527,040 minutes, 31,622,400 seconds. And how many more seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years will there be for us. That’s a very well kept secret that no one

Do the Chinese Communist really own Dominion voting machines?  The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) records indicate they purchased part ownership in 2014 for $200 million.  Did they purchase full ownership for $400 million in 2020?  Is it true that 3 of the 4 Board members are from the Chinese Communist Party?  Internet expert audit in Georgia shows tabulation machines were sending results to China?  Why did every swing State in question use Dominion systems?  Did Dominion really pay $100 million to Georgia Republicans to purchase Dominion voting machines just before the 2020 election?  Did Trump lose the election with unobserved mail-in voter fraud coupled with Dominion counting?  Did they really do a forensic audit of a Michigan machine finding a 68 percent error rate?    Why are the powers that be refusing to allow, at any cost, a full exploration of Dominion voting machines in desperation? Why have no State or Federal Court demanded a public hearing of suspicious

What Happened To Football? – by David Nacey

“Lombardi: A certain magic still lingers in the very name.  It speaks of duels in the snow and cold November mud.” – John Facenda, NFL Films   Legends of sport, like war heroes, or the protagonists of comic book stories, have an ability to fill our imaginations with wonder and awe. Superheroes are fantasy, though.  War heroes are ordinary men driven by circumstance to extraordinary feats of courage where life, country, and honor are at stake.   Legendary sports heroes, however, are not ordinary.  Most sporting legends are born, not made, with exceptional size, strength, dexterity, sensory acuity, an innate sense of positioning themselves, the courage to seize advantage of every opportunity of the moment, as well as other, more intangible qualities that are impossible to teach someone.  That talent has to be nurtured in youth, maintained and further developed during a professional career.   I used to make fun of people, especially other men, who told me they didn’t watch pro

The Final Confrontation by Cami Murphy

Dear brothers and sisters,   I had a fire in my heart to write this on this feast of the Holy Innocents, which is so special to me. I pray that God give you the graces He has in mind for each of you as His daughter or son.   Blessings,   Cami little handmaid     The Final Confrontation   Today, Monday, December 28, 2020, is the feast of the Holy Innocents; the little boys who were martyred when Herod had his soldiers kill them in his evil pursuit to kill the Messiah, whom he feared would overthrow him.   Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the Child and His Mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the Child, to destroy Him...Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the Wise Men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region, who were two years old or under, according to the time which he h

Have the American Oligarchs Won? by Gene Chapman

Image
  They have the money.  They have the Democrat Party.  They have China. They have the RINO”s.  They have Political Correctness. They have the dissemination of the news. They are globalist on the same page with George Soros.   They are secularist, believing they are god with the right to control the ignoble proletariat kooks still believing America is great as founded in freedom under God as a Constitutional Republic.    They control the institutions of public information. They make criminals of God fearing patriots and saints of Mafia sociopathic liars.  They treat ANTIFA/BLM stabbings and killings of freedom lovers with indifference, while quiet about leftist foot soldiers on the road to changing America, not hoping too.  The media sycophant’s call them peaceful protesters as they burn, loot, and kill, painting the patriots loving America with the audacity to stand against them as the aggressors.     The four patriots stabbed at the Stop the Steal Washington Ra

    I thought I will share with you this article a lady from San Antonio who contacted me a while ago published.   She is a Catholic blogger who has written for the archdiocese paper.  She asked me a few questions  and I sent her a few pics and this is what she wrote.   Have a blessed Christmas and a happy new year 2021.  Rosie Aguilar The Hill Country Hermit     Mary, Undoer of Knots - Honored in Del Rio, TX Since 2003     Rosie and Henry Aguilar of Del Rio, TX met with Archbishop Patrick Flores of the Archdiocese of San Antonio in 2003, to request permission to start a devotion to  Mary, Untier/Undoer of Knots  at St. Joseph Church in Del Rio.   Before granting permission, Archbishop Flores first contacted the Archbishop of Buenos Aires (who happened to also be a cardinal) for more information on the devotion.   The Cardinal-Archbishop of Buenos Aires at the time was Jorge Bergoglio - the chief promoter of Mary, Undoer of Knots and the future Pope Francis!      Afte

Live Nativity Scene by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

Image
Estrella Brillante sits despondently on the park bench at The Plazita facing the life-size Christmas Nativity scene. Suddenly she’s aware of the church bells ringing at midnight.  All the churches in town are joyfully announcing the coming of Christ on Christmas Eve. To her utter amazement she sees the Nativity figurines moving. She wipes her eyes thinking that sleep deprivation and not having eaten, have caused her to see things blurry. She slowly gets up, walks closer to the Nativity and realizes those are real people and animals. Mary sweetly and softly says, “Do you want to hold Jesus?” Seeing that Estrella is hesitant and unsure, Mary kindly entreats, “Don’t be afraid! Jesus is real and He loves you!” Cautiously Estrella proceeds to walk to the manger, gently picks up the Baby, tenderly kisses his chubby cheek and returns Him to his Mother. As she is walking away one of the Wise Men speaks to her, “Just like you held Him in your arms now, you can hold Him in your heart forever

Turn to God by Irene Ortiz

  Walk in the path of righteousness, “I am The Potter, you are the clay”.    On December 10, while praying the Rosary, I asked Jesus, “What song will I sing for you today?” I had a song in my hand already to sing to Our Lady of Guadalupe, but another one came to mind “El Alfarero”(The Potter).  I asked Jesus, “Why “El Alfarero”?    And words started coming to my mind: Because, I don’t like the upbringing of families at this present time.    They work, they are tired and always running everywhere.  Grandparents are raising their families.  The children are going astray.    Parents don’t talk to them about me.  They don’t go to church, do not receive the sacraments.  When eating a meal they don’t bless their food.  They don’t even know that I have a home, where I wait daily so they can talk to me, so that I may bless them and forgive them their sins, so that they may receive me in the Eucharist and so that I may abide in their hearts and answer all their needs.    

I Wake up Today in an America I Don’t Know by Gene Chapman

  A hate filled politically correct America, not the old correctable politically incorrect America I so adored.    We have lost our collective mind!  It’s un-American to count how many illegal Americans are voting.  Russians influencing our elections is deplorable, but China working hand in hand with Democrats to steal an election is exactly what the doctor ordered.  It’s cool if Joe Biden blackmails Ukraine for son Hunter’s millions, but impeachable if Trump inquires about it.   People who never attended college should pay off the loans of people who did.  People who have never owned slaves should pay reparations to people who have never been slaves.   Caravans of illegals are now crossing Mexico, some with Covid-19 are now welcomed, (to vote?) but you can’t go back to work or school because of a 3.2 percent chance of the elderly with co-morbidity near natural death could die.  China sent us this malady, but it’s Trump’s fault because our economy was growing too fast with a dange

President Trump’s 2020 Christian Christmas Message by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

  On December 10, 2020 President Trump along with First Lady Melania Trump stood on the White House balcony and delivered their Christmas Message to every family across America. Unfortunately the malicious, maddening media didn’t deem it worthy of their precious time to air it on their broadcasts or platforms.   President Trump’s Christmas Message can be found at:   LifeSiteNews President Trump thanks God for sending His son to redeem the world   DrTaylorMarshall Trump's 2020 Christmas Message: "God sent His Son to Redeem Us   TheRemnantVideo TRUMP HAILS CHRIST THE REDEEMER: Puts Mary Back in Christmas   Take a few minutes to treat yourself to view these excellent videos, John-Henry Westin of LifeSite News whose video is 3:53 minutes, Dr. Taylor Marshall whose video is 6:49 minutes and Michael Matt whose video is 4:22 minutes expertly dissect and expound on how truly President Trump’s speech invokes the Biblical and Gospel Message of the true meaning of Christmas.   These a
