Perhaps five Percent of America watched by Gene Chapman

Image
  Perhaps five Percent of America Watched by Gene Chapman Jim Jordan’s Congressional oversight committee held a hearing, allowing three of the courageous fired whistleblowers to testify to the world today, 5/18/2023.       The massive democrat/media disinformation for the last six years was as plain as the nose on your face, and perhaps five percent of America was watching. Only Newsmax and C-Span3 carried it, with a missing Fox. The LEFT can’t afford to have you see it, but the more voters who do, the better America’s chances for survival. Joe Stalin encouraged voting, but to be safe, he counted the vote also. Garret O’Boyle was an FBI agent receiving the highest annual reviews, until he and his family were sent halfway across America, only to be fired the first day he reported for duty. He had questioned FBI leadership at his previous station, and that was not allowed. He was left homeless with a courageous wife, and four girls from six years to two weeks old, ...

May 29, 2023: Prayerfully Patriotic on Memorial Day

Image
  “Prayer for Those Who Have Fallen in Battle”  “All Powerful God, We honor today those men and women— Our sons and daughters, Husbands and wives, Fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers— Who have laid down their life for their country. Whether weary or emboldened, quiet or defiant, Vulnerable or ready when You called them home, Their sacrifice is too humbling for words except these uttered in prayer. Loving Lord, bless them forever in Your eternal peace… Cherish their spirit, honor their commitment, send them our love, and will never forget the service that they gave.”

It’s not rocket science!

  Personal reflection:  America Magazine is published by  The Society of Jesus commonly known as the  Jesuits . God’s Truth is simple. Evil isn’t complicated! June 16 is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and this is the day the evil one and all his minions chose to publicly mock the Catholic Faith in the city originally named  El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reyna de los Angeles, The City of Our Lady Queen of the Angels. It's really not that complicated, it's really quite simple. If a Catholic doesn't get it, it's not that he's conflicted or that it's complicated;  it's that he's compromised and committed to the evil one.   We are called to HONOR: Virtues not vices Piety not pryde Saintliness not sinfulness Decency not  decadency Purity not perversion Moral values not mob violence Righteous femininity not radical feminism Righteous masculinity not radical misogyny Our Infinite Redeemer not the idolatrous rein-bow

In 2023 Censorship is freedom of speech

Image
  Personal reflection: The satire of the past is taken seriously in the present. The satire of today is taken seriously tomorrow.  Moderators seek out "coded" language throughout the internet to justify their decision to ban those who disagree with them from communicating through digital devices.   Moderator says: “The sky is blue”, must be banned. This is code, meaning that those living in the red states want the asteroids falling from the sky to fall upon and destroy all the blue states.    Moderator says, The movie "It’s a Wonderful Life!" must be wiped out. This is code, meaning that those who call themselves pro-life are really anti-abortionists. They want only a wonderful life for themselves because they want the worst kind of life for those who are for reproductive rights.   Moderator says, “2+2=4” must be totally filtered out. This is code, meaning that there are rigid, hard-fast rules that are called facts.  But we know better that everything ...

Truth-tellers verses Liars

  Personal reflection: Truth-tellers have nothing to fear. Liars are fearful of everyone and everything.

Definitely not a Divine Decision

Image
  Personal reflection: You may say that your decision is not going against the Pope; but it definitely is going against God. You may say that the Vatican has no problem with your decision, but God definitely does have a problem with this decision. He said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” – Matthew 19: 4 - 6

Incongruent Image and Mixed-up Message

Image
“Advent: The National Life Monument,” is a larger-than-life bronze statue by Canadian Catholic artist Timothy Paul Schmalz which depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary pregnant with an unborn baby Jesus and is located  on the campus of The Catholic University of America’s Theological College in Washington, DC. Personal reflection:   Why is Baby Jesus in what looks like a cold, sterile, stainless steel operating-room basin?   Where’s Mother Mary's warm, welcoming womb, the umbilical cord, the life-giving, nurturing connection between Mother and Child?   Where is the halo on Mother Mary and on Baby Jesus?   The statue seems to conjure an image and message of an abhorrent abortion and is not at all an image and message of pro-life that it purports to be!

A Nation of economic Illiterates by Gene Chapman

Image
A Nation of economic Illiterates I have lost my second computer in a modern world that could never mesh with my simple, near goose quill, raising in the cotton fields and cattle pastures of my Beulah youth.  After spending nearly two thousand dollars, my last column just magically disappeared. I pray for a successful ending for this one. America is a nation of dull normal economic illiteracy, infected with class- warfare despising the rich, screaming fair share taxes for all.  They would never believe the top 1 percent pay 40 percent of all taxes in some way. Sure, they avoid taxes, being smart buying equally for sell legislatures for IRS rules paying less. But the truth is, the lower the taxes for the rich, the higher the living standers for the masses, with the rich investing in new industries creating new jobs opportunities rather than fleeing or buying tax shelters. Remember the corporate trillions coming home to America from the world when Trump made our corporate tax...

Praying a novena is a great way to ask God for a specific need by Ascension Press

Image
Lift up special intentions with novenas. We all have intentions that we hold deeply in the silence of our hearts . Whether these intentions are for ourselves or those we love, they are places in our lives where we deeply desire God's presence. Since the time of the apostles, Catholics have lifted these intentions to the altar of the Lord by praying novenas . A special type of 9-day prayer for a specific intention, novenas are a great way to be intentional in prayer for a specific need. After praying a novena,  many Catholics report an answer to their prayer , even if not in the way they expected. 20 novenas help Catholics “pray without ceasing.” Novenas have been with the Church from her earliest days as a way for Catholics to grow closer to Christ and connect with their faith in a more meaningful way. Prayed for 9 consecutive days, normally for a specific intention, this form of prayer is a great way to become more persistent in prayer and to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonian...
