“The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural cure for suffering, but a supernatural use for it.'“

Tomorrow, instead of the usual interview, I’ll be sharing a meditation on the suffering and death of Our Lord—featuring the profound insights of St. Thomas Aquinas. It’s Holy Week, and I hope this helps you draw closer to Christ.
They knew that Rumeysa Ozturk had done nothing wrong. They sent masked men to grab and detain her anyway.
They knew Abrego Garcia had a protection order from deportation. They sent him to a foreign jail anyway.
They know the Supreme Court has told them that Abrego Garcia must be returned. They don’t care.
There is no debate any more. This president is a direct threat to the Constitution of the United States.

With Holy Week approaching, I was thinking of sharing a short daily meditation from St. Thomas Aquinas. Nothing from me—just his wisdom—but I’d do my best to walk you through it and help you understand it. Would that interest you?

He fled violent gangs in El Salvador that were threatening him and his family.
A U.S. court protected him from deportation. He got a work permit, a job, a wife, and three kids. No criminal record. Then ICE deported him anyway—by "mistake"—and dumped him into a Salvadoran prison built to house the very gangs he ran from.
No trial. No heari…

A few final reflections for Holy Week, steeped in the mystical tradition of our faith.
Descend Into Hell with Christ.
TOTAL CON/SCAM OF THE CLIMATE WORSHIPERS.
MERELY CONTROL OF PROTEIN FROM ANIMALS DESIGNED TO EAT VEGETATION AND FERTILIZE THE SOIL AS WELL AS TO PACK IT TO KEEP IT SAFE FROM VARIOUS WEED INFESTATION TO LOOSEN PLAINS SOILS PROMOTING WIND EROSION MAKING ALL A DUST-BOWL AS IN THE U.S. DURING THE DEPRESSION YEARS.
ALL ABOUT PERSONAL GAIN BY THE SOCIOPATHIC PARASITIC PREDATORS WHO IMPLEMENTED 'POPULATION CONTROL' VIA STARVATION, EXPOSURE, RAPE, TORTURE AND MURDER OF 'THE PEOPLE' THEY VIEWED THEIR HUMAN HERD BACK IN THE TIMES OF THE WANNA-BE GOD-KINGS AND THEIR PEERAGE...WHO STILL VIEW PEOPLE THEIR HUMAN HERD.
Doing all possible to murder 'The Constitution of the United States' where they lost their Absolute Power and suffered humiliation and terror after 'The People' rising began to murder them.
