In honor of our fallen...

We remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to their nation...

The American military is the greatest force for good the world has known. Honoring the fallen this #MemorialDay.


ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.

Levin's new book is here!

It's finally here! Driving into work this morning, I caught The Great One joining Chris Salcedo to discuss his new book, Unfreedom of the Press, already the #1 best seller on Amazon...


From five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, FOX News star, and radio host Mark R. Levin comes a groundbreaking and enlightening book that shows how the great tradition of the American free press has degenerated into a standardless profession that has squandered the faith and trust of the American public, not through actions of government officials, but through its own abandonment of reportorial integrity and objective journalism.

Unfreedom of the Press is not just another book about the press. Levin shows how those entrusted with news reporting today are destroying freedom of the press from within: “not government oppression or suppression,” he writes, but self-censorship, group-think, bias by omission, and passing off opinion, propaganda, pseudo-events, and outright lies as news.

With the depth of historical background for which his books are renowned, Levin takes the reader on a journey through the early American patriot press, which proudly promoted the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, followed by the early decades of the Republic during which newspapers around the young country were open and transparent about their fierce allegiance to one political party or the other.

It was only at the start of the Progressive Era and the twentieth century that the supposed “objectivity of the press” first surfaced, leaving us where we are today: with a partisan party-press overwhelmingly aligned with a political ideology but hypocritically engaged in a massive untruth as to its real nature.


The biased media is not the free press. It's up to us, the citizenry, to reclaim this freedom. We are our generation's pamphleteers!

The political whims of then and now...

Considering either of my previous posts, whether we're talking the illegality of inhabitance or the illusion of impeachment, it's quite comical to turn the history pages back ever so slightly to find the opposition on the complete opposite end of the debate not so long ago...

Before, Democrats once opposed illegal immigration...



...they were also staunch opponents of impeachment!



Politically expedient MUCH?! Certainly so. But moreover, disingenuous, deceitful and dishonest...their press included.

As many internecine problems plague Republicans, they still pale in comparison to the political whims of an amorphous party that constantly seeks to tear down and change America into something less than greatness.

Amash a mess

The days of the NeverTrump'ing should've long expired, along with the liberal desperation clinging to the Mueller Report, but I guess no one told Justin Amash, another useful RINO idiot for the media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) to use to no end. I won't bother you with his lengthy twitter tirade, but here's the sample that kicked it off...
Even though he's the first Repub outta the gate to call for impeachment, Amash is just another grandstander who's eyeballing the Oval Office, and certainly would like to see an implausible impeachment before immigration reform cuts off the deep state's illegal alien spigot, of which he's a supporter (to the point of allowing non-citizens to vote!).

Well, Amash couldn't even muster Mittens to jump on that bandwagon. But the President is a big boy, and handled it as usual...
McCarthy also gave similar GOP response, also alluding to Amash's libertarian sights. He might as well, because his odds of being reelected to the House are shot with a primary challenge coming less than 48 hours after opening his mouth.
Michigan state Rep. Jim Lower made his intentions known Monday morning, announcing that instead of seeking a third term in the state legislature, he will run against Amash for their party’s nomination for the 2020 election. Amash has served as the representative for Michigan’s Third District since 2011.

“Congressman Justin Amash tweets yesterday calling for President Trump’s impeachment show how out of touch he is with the truth and how out of touch he is with people he represents,” Lower said...

Amash has done great damage to his chances for reelection and there are no doubt many in his district quite disappointed in him. GOP Chariwoman Ronna McDaniel points out that Amash’s district strongly supports Trump.
As one of my buddies pointed out, no one who has a shred of integrity can take Amash seriously...
How is it that he can look past all the spying on and lying about the Trump campaign, which began before he was even elected? The Obama administration and the Democrat Party willfully and unlawfully used the DoJ under AG Lynch, the FBI under Comey, the NIA under Clapper, and likely the CIA under Brennan to spy, undermine and defame a private American citizen who happened to be up for a presidential election. They colluded with foreign parties, deceived the FISA court, unlawfully leaked information to the media, lied under oath to Congress, failed to follow government policies and procedures, and improperly used government offices in a conspiratorial and nefarious operation to illegally influence and later endeavor to undermine a U.S. election. These deep state actors have committed multiple crimes in bad faith against the Constitution in what can be described as a silent coup against a legitimate and duly-elected President.
But, no, let's overlook ALL of that to target one of own who happens to be the President?! You not only have to question this guy's motivation, but there's a concurrent observation to note: This is the kind of crap that continues to illustrate the internecine struggle that handicaps the Republican Party every time, handing power back to an even more corruptible bunch among Dems.

Immigration policy progress?

Perhaps. On Thursday, President Trump unveiled plans to transform America’s immigration system, focusing on high-skilled workers...merit-based, like every other country! Novel idea...
And Friday morning, he also addressed the illegal spillover that we're already dealing with, acknowledging that some Democrats are finally understanding there’s a national emergency at our border and the ball's in their court, as well as plainly stating that the illegals who are here need not get too comfortable...
Welcoming news considering the latest atrocity to hit our shores in the form of serial killing thanks to the continued advocacy of open border lawlessness (I mention this primarily because I just discovered yesterday that one of the victims was the mother of a fellow parishioner!). Such a horrifying and preventable act is so avoidable, if only our cowardly politicians had the political will to finally end this. We certainly don't need to import more criminal madness.

A National Day of Prayer

Today marks America's annual National Day of Prayer, and as such, with all the noise that we face these days, here are some very helpful prayers to offer up to the Almighty on behalf of what I pray remains a grateful nation...


For Our Country.

ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer for The President of the United States, and all in Civil Authority.

ALMIGHTY God, whose kingdom is everlasting and power infinite; Have mercy upon this whole land; and so rule the hearts of thy servants THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, The Governor of this State, and all others in authority, that they, knowing whose ministers they are, may above all things seek thy honour and glory; and that we and all the People, duly considering whose authority they bear, may faithfully and obediently honour them, according to thy blessed Word and ordinance; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

A Prayer for Congress.

MOST gracious God, we humbly beseech thee, as for the people of these United States in general, so especially for their Senate and Representatives in Congress assembled; that thou wouldest be pleased to direct and prosper all their consultations, to the advancement of thy glory, the good of thy Church, the safety, honour, and welfare of thy people; that all things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavours, upon the best and surest foundations, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, may be establish among us for all generations. These and all other necessaries, for them, for us, and thy whole Church, we humbly beg in the Name and mediation of Jesus Christ, our most blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.

For a State Legislature.

O GOD, the fountain of wisdom, whose statutes are good and gracious and whose law is truth; We beseech thee so to guide and bless the Legislature of this State, that it may ordain for our governance only such things as please thee, to the glory of thy Name and the welfare of the people; through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

For Courts of Justice.

ALMIGHTY God, who sittest in the throne judging right; We humbly beseech thee to bless the courts of justice and the magistrates in all this land; and give unto them the spirit of wisdom and understanding, that they may discern the truth and impartially administer the law in the fear of thee alone; through him who shall come to be our judge, thy Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

For the Army.

O LORD God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the soldiers of our country; Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For the Navy.

O ETERNAL Lord God, who alone spreadest out the heavens, and rulest the raging of the sea; Vouchsafe to take into thy almighty and most gracious protection our country’s Navy, and all who serve therein. Preserve them from the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of the enemy; that they may be a safeguard unto the United States of America, and a security for such as pass on the seas upon their lawful occasions; that the inhabitants of our land may in peace and quietness serve thee our God, to the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Schools, Colleges. and Universities.

ALMIGHTY God, we beseech thee, with thy gracious favour, to behold our universities, colleges, and schools, that knowledge may be increased among us, and all good learning flourish and abound; bless all who teach and all who learn; and grant that in humility of heart they may ever look unto thee, who art the fountain of all wisdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For the Church.

O GRACIOUS Father, we humbly beseech thee for thy holy Catholic Church; that thou wouldst be pleased to fill it with all truth, in all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in anything it is amiss, reform it. Where it is right, establish it; where it is in want, provide for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of him who died and rose again, and ever liveth to make intercession for us, Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

For the Unity of God’s People.

O GOD, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Saviour, the Prince of Peace; Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly, union and concord: that as there is but one Body and one Spirit, and one hope of our calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

...Thank You, LORD.
