The app for independent voices

Someone recently asked me how they could help given my current rough state of mind.

Pray.

Pray that I can secure a few displays for The Project. Because no matter what is going on in my life. Serving the Lord is the best way to help. It allows me to focus on following Christ and I can turn what I’m doing into an active prayer.

Pray that parishes reach out to me about doing displays. This is the major source of my frustration. I’m living in a time where parishes don’t want to make the kind of com…

It’s not just about tariffs. Trump and Republicans are pursuing a coordinated suite of policies designed to cause economic meltdown.

And it’s working.

It is said that Napoleon Bonaparte once threatened a Catholic Cardinal by saying: “Your Eminence, are you not aware that I have the power to destroy the Catholic Church?” To which the cardinal replied: “Your Majesty, we Catholic clergy have done our best to destroy the Church for the last eighteen hundred years. We have not succeeded, and neither will you.”

Whether true or not this anecdote reminds us that Hell has infiltrated the Catholic Church and has never won. Hell was utterly defeated on t…

In your charity, please pray for X, a patient I spent time with recently. A very troubling case. X could especially use the Saint Michael prayer right now.

The Next Pope

JM Kraemer/Lego Church Project

Yesterday I found out that someone I’ve known for nearly forty-five years of my life passed. She had been in ill health for some time and sadly those health issues caught up to her. She is the mother of a friend who is pretty much my little sister to me. Despite the fact that I’m older by only a few weeks.

Bonnie was a force to be reckoned with. She was someone who had strong opinions and didn’t tolerate much bull from anyone. She did what she could to raise her children. Sometimes when I visi…

A Modicum of J6 Justice: Fischer v. United States

James Goodrich

The corrupt power of this justice department can be so overwhelming for the average individual. Most people are completely unaware of what they have done to these J6’rs.

Every time I hear or think of this case and these rulings my mind goes to Mathew Perna who faced these very same increased charges which drove him to commit suicide. His mother wrote in his obituary that Mathew died of a Brocken heart, “the community (which he loved), his country and justice department killed his spirit and his …

I would say pretty well the worst happened in the 2020 election.....we had our fed gov stolen by a banana republic junta that put a slobbering corrupt rotten banana over us. It now comes down to how repairable it is

I was taught NOTHING in public schools, until college, regarding communism. I took a class on the USSR, by a former diplomat (can’t recall his name), in college. This was before the ‘fall’. Although, if Jeffery Sachs is to be believed, it didn’t happen the way 'Night Line' portrayed it. Another class was about how ‘terrorism' was going to be the warfare of the future.
