The Republican Platform: Keeping First Things First!

I think this is the best article yet re the upcoming election and how one should vote. There really is only one choice. 

Donald Trump and the Sovereign Rights of God

Barbara Farrah summarizes some of the positions already presented over the last few days, but she also points to Kennedy Hall's view which goes beyond politics.

Farrah's summary of the situation adds another thoughtful perspective to your discernment. Here's just a bit of what she writes:

What We Can Learn From the Hummingbird Wars!

I have a hummingbird feeder hanging near my office window, a source of much amusement. One little female has delegated to herself the role of sentry. She feeds and then sits on the tippytop of the pole holding the feeder. From there she dive bombs other hummingbirds (mostly other females) to keep them from feeding. Occasionally, a ruby-throated male drops in for a drink, but most of boys apparently have already begun migrating. The females usually remain a bit longer, so the war is usually among the girls. Seems like a lot of wasted energy for nothing but territorial rivalry.

Can a Catholic Vote for the "Lesser of Two Evils"?: Roberto de Mattei Weighs In on U.S. Election

Catholics and the U.S. Presidential Elections: Donald Trump clearly is the choice from a Catholic perspective - by Roberto de Mattei

There is a Catholic doctrine of the lesser evil that can be summarized in these terms: 


1. One can never positively and directly commit even the slightest evil; 

 

2. to avoid a greater evil, one may tolerate a lesser evil committed by others, provided one does not approve of it as such and remembers the existence of a greater good to strive for. 


This doctrine is fundamental for orientation in a confused age in which the notion of the principle has been lost: “Bonum ex integra causa, malum ex quocumque defectu”(St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae I-IIae, q. 18, a. 4 ad 3).

Will Our Interference in Ukraine and Elsewhere Bring World War III to Our Shores?

Since Ukraine invaded the Kursk region of Russia earlier this month, the drive-by media has cheered and advanced the on-going myth that Ukraine is winning the war. Any success up to now, of course, is because of the support of the West with billions of dollars and military equipment poured into a notoriously corrupt country with absolutely no accountability. How much of the contents of American taxpayers' raided wallets ended up in offshore accounts? Nobody knows! And the Biden/Harris administration doesn't seem to care. But that doesn't keep stupid politicians like Lindsey Graham from joining the Democrat war machine and demanding more and more and more. Graham acts like a ten-year-old playing cops and robbers. I used to respect him; but he's just a political hack who looks like a member of the Keystone Cops waving his gun and then shooting himself in the foot. As for the Democrats in general, represented by demented Biden, they oppose each escalation until they say yes. They pose a serious danger to every American. God help us if Harris wins.

Bob Marshall Writes "Trump: The lesser of two evils, still an obligatory choice."

Yesterday I posted a link to Edward Feser's article about the election and the dilemma it poses for social conservatives. Today, I offer Bob Marshall's thoughtful perspective. Bob was a Virginia state delegate for many years, often described as the "conscience of the Virginia General Assembly". He was ousted by a transexual who campaigned with ads putting on his dressup makeup to masquerade as a woman. Certainly doesn't say much for the intelligence of the voters in Bob's district.

Our Salvation is Not in Politics! Trump is not our Savior.

Hugging the flag is no guarantee you won't betray your base.
Hold politicians accountable, including former President Trump.

Salvation is not in politics and Trump is no Savior of the Republic. He is certainly not in the same diabolical class as the Marxist duo of Harris and Walz. Nevertheless, he has already betrayed his pro-life base and apparently motivated J.D. Vance, a Catholic, to join him in embracing the intrinsic evil of IVF. How many babies are living now in freezer orphanages abandoned and forgotten?

Get Ready for the Death of Free Speech if Harris/Walz are Elected!

Harris/Walz, the most extreme ticket in U.S. history a clear and present danger to free speech!

Over and over again we've seen the Marxist left label a factual report as a hoax or a conspiracy theory or disinformation. Then of course, we find out it was all true all along and the disinformation was, in fact, a conspiracy coming from the Democrats enabled by their flying monkeys in the media.  All those "fact checkers?" They wouldn't know a fact from a flatworm. And now we know that those so-called "conspiracy theories" were true. When Democrats make a statement, you'd be wise to believe the opposite which is probably closer to the truth.

Sunday Meditation: Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus Christ to Fight Our Cultural Insanity!

God's Providence is impeccable! A two-year-old study of the Shroud of Turin recently published by the Daily Express presents us with the Holy Face of Christ. Using the negative image from the Shroud, the scientists have given us a recreation of the Holy Face of Jesus. Not only does the image reflect numerous icon images created throughout the centuries, but he looks almost identical to previous images from the Shroud circulating for years.

Michelle Obama Speech Part 2: Selling "the same old con."

Is history repeating itself in Chicago? Harris/Walz are leftist extremists!
Where will they take the country if they no longer need to pretend to be moderates?

Part 1 here

The second half of Michelle's propaganda speech transitioned into "the same old con" the Democrats have been spouting since Trump steamrolled over them in 2016.

Hypocrisy on Steroids: Michelle Obama's Speech at the DNC (Part 1)

I watched Michelle Obama's speech out of curiosity well aware that "curiosity killed the cat." If one could die from an overdose of hypocrisy, I'd be dead now. The hypocrisy meter began rising from the first minute into her speech when when Michelle described the magic spreading across "this country we love."

Really? She loves our country? 

I have no doubt the Obamas love the power and wealth they've harvested from the taxpayers, but the country? From sea to shining sea with all those fly-over deplorables in middle America?

Remember when Michelle said this:
