Julia Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.

That bill 89 is pure communism. The state owns everything even the children you produce. People are just used to produce kids for the state to brainwash.

When people have their freedom removed by communist or masonic governments, it won't be long before God takes action to inspire the people to take back the freedom He gave them in choosing right and wrong. Otherwise what is the point of having a lifetime on earth to make the choices and choose whether we want to serve God, or the devil in the form of an atheistic government. Thus leading to eternal destruction or eternal salvation.

This is truly spiritual warfare to the nth degree.

Ps 68: Let God arise and his enemies be scattered! May those who hate him flee before him!

The day has arrived where we are to be called to be like Simon and carry Our Lord's Cross.

1Peter 4:16 Yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

Could have placed this link in the Trump thread/s but perhaps it's a "sign" of the times where the conservative opposition is calling a spade a spade and have enough. Surprised though that these two didn't have the audience mob them and abuse them as in the former Trump rallies:

When I heard the news yesterday how Amazon took over Whole Foods which in turn caused the other "smaller" food providers to tank I thought about how more and more smaller businesses are being overtaken by just the few. Not good to have our food supply to quietly be taken over by the few. If there's a future problem with transportation or restrictions of just what and to whom the food supply is delivered the decisions will be made by those few who control the power, the supply and the $$$!

Just make sure your next door neighbor isn't a lib with a sign in their yard saying "hate has no place in this house"....and they're running out of food themselves! Bye bye home grown food since libs have an established habit now of justifying all kinds of law breaking and abuse of others!

Mario, your quote from Psalm 68 we have been saying for several weeks now doing Father Heilman's 54 day novena for President Trump. We say Saint Parick's Lorica prayer inserting President Trump's name all the way through and then we say the Chaplet of the Holy Face which says this quote from Psalm 68 at least 33 times.

It's beginning to appear that the collision of the USN Destroyer and Container Ship may well have been a ramming attack by unknown ... but easily imagined ... agents. I'm an AF Type and ignorant of most things USN .... but ... Heads are going to roll over this. The whole Battle Group should have gone to Battle Stations when the merchant ship went dark & with that erratic maneuvering I read about last night! Just another sad SIGN that the USA Military is worn, tired & lacking in training/battle readiness................ and our enemies Know-It.

I have been saying this too Patty. I love that psalm but I can almost feel spiritual sparks flying from the Lorica. I hope lots of people are doing this with Fr Hellman. There is such a tide of evil rising against the Pres of the US. Unprecedented.

My husband and I thought this "accident" looked odd also. I would guess that it was sudden and unexpected (geez, that sounds familiar and was quite on accident), they probably pass these cargo ships all of the time. I hope that a full investigation is done and they determine what really happened.

Looks like the exterior cladding used just last year to make the building look good was clearly flamable. Now whether some people wanted this building gone since it housed lower wage earners falls into conspiracy territory but you never know......

Scary. Is the Mail the only source of this story? There are videos on YouTube featuring João Scognamiglio Clá Dias but I couldn't find any from this year. I clicked on one of them but it doesn't have English subtitles.

Yes it was probably this.

Things are dangerous in England. The poor become poorer and the rich very much richer by the day. The place is like a tinder box, ready to explode. In the hospital were I work we not had a pay rise for 7 years and are asked to do more and more work. People grow more and more angry

I wasn't even aware of this practice until I received an Oregon Right to Life newsletter and read this story.

Mild Stroke Leads to Mother’s Forced Death by Starvation and Dehydration
I watched an old woman die of hunger and thirst. She had Alzheimer’s. This old woman was child-like, trusting, vulnerable, with a child’s delight at treats of chocolate and ice cream, and a child’s fear and frustration when tired or ill.

I watched her die for six days and nights. I watched her suffer, and I listened to the medical practitioners, to a son who legally decided her fate, and to an eldest daughter who advised him and told me that the old woman, my mother, was “comfortable,” except when she was “in distress,” at which times the nurses medicated her to make her “comfortable” again.

I watched the old woman develop ulcerations inside her mouth as she became more and more dehydrated; the caregivers assured me these were not painful. I listened to her breathing become more and more labored as her lungs became congested from the morphine administered every two to four hours, and later every hour. This is what morphine does, you see. It relieves pain, but its cumulative effect is that eventually it shuts down the respiratory system.

No one explained why the old woman was given morphine in the first place, since she was conscious and trying to speak. It is normal that a mild stroke causes temporary inability to swallow, slurred speech, and a severe headache, but all of these are often reversed when the stroke victim is treated and the treatment includes nourishment and water.

The explanation for not giving nourishment and water — a feeding tube and IV (intravenous) — is that these were “extraordinary measures” for keeping someone alive.

I watched the old woman day and night for six days. The first night, after the first shot of morphine, her mouth hung open and her tongue started to roll and flutter. At the same time, her jaw trembled continuously. This went on all night and into the early hours of the morning. Her mouth never closed again, except to clamp tightly on wet cloths placed on her lips. Her eyes were partially closed, but they moved back and forth, back and forth, becoming small slits after seven or eight hours, not closing fully until that long first night was over. She opened her eyes only once after that, when the nurse was late with the morphine, on the third, or maybe fourth, day.

The old woman started to moan. Not moaning, said the nurses and the old woman’s eldest daughter. Just air escaping from the lungs. Not moaning at all. The old woman’s eyes started to open, and the air escaping from the lungs sounded exactly like a moan of agony, as the old woman’s face twisted in horrible contortions.

I screamed, “Her eyes are opening. Oh, God. Oh, God!” Even as the morphine, quickly injected by a disconcerted nurse, caused the old woman’s eyes to close and her face to relax. I doubted its efficacy. I thought back to the night before when I, in tears at the old woman’s slow dying, had been confronted by a delegation of four of the nursing staff, each of them in turn trying to convince me that the old woman was not suffering in any way at all. The morphine, they said, takes away all pain.

But, I answered them, she can feel. She’s squeezing my hand and, if I try to take my hand out of hers, she squeezed tighter and, when I hold a little piece of gauze to her lips, she tries to suck the water out of it. She’s thirsty! This is a horror, this is a cruelty. No, they said. She’s not thirsty. It’s just reflex. But, I tell them, I watched her clamp her lips on the gauze so tightly that I had to pull to get it out of her mouth.

She reacts when you touch her feet, her legs, and her hair. If she can feel that, she can feel thirst, I plead with them. It’s not the same, they tell me. She’s not in pain. I look at her. But what if you’re wrong? I say. What if you’re wrong? They stand there, saying nothing. Then, one looks at the old woman and says we’d better turn her now. She and another care worker go about the business of re-positioning the old woman, to keep her “comfortable” and the other two leave.

The nights and days went in and out of focus. I sat in a chair at the side of the old woman’s bed, one hand grasped tightly by her hand. I slept an hour or two, here and there, waking always with a start. “I’m here,” I murmured, so the old woman would know I was keeping the promise I made to her on the first night, after her son and eldest daughter left to get some food, drink, and rest. I promised her then, “I will not leave here until you do.”

The old woman was fading by the fourth day. Her eldest daughter had been visiting for an hour or so each day, usually mid-morning. This daughter, a former hospital worker, lightly stroked her mother’s face and hair and timed the length of her mother’s “breath apnea,” the length of time her mother stopped breathing. She announced the number of seconds and then counted the number of breaths between each stopped breath. Seven breaths, she said. Eleven breaths.

Sometimes she described the progress of her mother’s death. She’s probably down to about 60 pounds now, she pronounced. Sometimes — I’m not sure when I first noticed it — the nurses asked us to leave while they attended to the old woman. Other times they didn’t. Once, perhaps on the fourth day, I told them I didn’t have to leave. I had watched them turn her and I had seen her tiny naked body as they gently washed her. I didn’t even flinch anymore when they injected the syringe of morphine.

We have to give her a suppository, they said. A suppository? Why? For anxiety, they said. Anxiety. So that she would appear to die with dignity. The morphine was no longer enough. This courageous old woman, who could face, who had faced, unimaginable hardships with nothing but her faith and her dignity, she could teach you about dignity, I thought to myself.

On the fifth day, the eldest daughter visited twice. On her second visit, several staff members entered the room with her. They were all talking loudly, about nothing in particular, except for one care worker, fond of the old woman, who walked over to the bed and called the old woman’s name loudly enough to interrupt the others’ light conversation. She examined the old woman’s hands, lifted the sheet covering her and looked at her legs and feet. She called the old woman’s name again, and the care worker’s face showed alarm.

How long has it been? She asked. She’s not even mottling! (Mottling is the term given to describe the blackening of the feet and hands as the body, dehydrating, tries to preserve the vital organs by stopping the flow of blood to the limbs.) You know, continued the care worker, I don’t think it’s her time. It’s been, what, five days? If she had been ready to go, she’d have gone in 24 hours. The room went quiet. The care worker and I looked at each other. You’re right, I said. The eldest daughter and one of the nurses began to tell her she was wrong, and a nurse hustled her out of the room.

By the sixth night I was not sure I could go on. I slept for an hour or so every four or five hours. I still sat in the chair by her bed, but now I slept with head on the bed, near her stomach. The old woman’s breathing was labored, her will to live defying the system and the foolish young doctor who, on that first night, gave her 24 hours to live, as though he were God Himself.

My heart was breaking for her. I could do nothing to save her, could do nothing but suffer with her. I cried much of the time, but softly, so she would not know. I didn’t want to add to her agony. I had been there six days. She could no longer hold my hand, so I slipped my hand gently under hers. I felt an anguish so profound that I began to wonder if I could survive it.

In a split second, the frown that had creased the line between her brows was smoothed away. Her head rested gently to one side. Two care workers entered the room. I saw them in my peripheral vision, but I kept my gaze on the old woman. We’re just going to turn her, one of the workers said. No, I said, my mother is dying. One of them left to get a nurse, and then the old woman — my dear mother, my little, child-like, beautiful mother — died.

I put my arms around her, kissed her poor, closed eyes and her now relaxed mouth, and held her limp, tiny body, no more struggling for breath. I watched an old woman die of hunger and thirst. I watched her die for six days and nights. I watched her suffer, and struggle, and hold onto life.

She had not always found life easy, but she had always found it worthwhile. She was 94 years old. She had been born and had lived all her life in Canada. She had worked hard all her life, married, raised three children, voted, paid taxes, saved enough money to buy her own home, obeyed the laws, donated to charity, done volunteer work, paid her bills, and given much love and brought much joy to many, many people in her 94 years.

In return, in the spring of 2009, her son and her eldest daughter, with the permission and assistance of the law, because this old woman had had a mild stroke, refused her food and water. She could not swallow, so she would have needed the food and water administered artificially.

That was published by Human Life Alliance. They were the parent group for the Pro-Life Healthcare Alliance, of which I was chairman for two years. They are a good pro life group, one of the few dedicated to fighting euthanasia and assisted suicide, if anyone is loooking for a worthy pro life group to support.

The Mail is one of the few believable papers out there. Therefore the story can't be dismissed out of hand.

While we are all naturally wary of the liberal extreme of the Church, the extreme Jansenist right is also likely to be very vulnerable to the workings of the devil.

Pope Francis himself, from the beginning, showed us the way to deal with him. He asked us, if I recall correctly, to say three Hail Mary's a day for him.

May we all remain safely in the arms of Jesus and Mary.

It is similar in my hospital. Because of Obamacare, the hospital is losing money and so we are having to take more patients per nurse.
