    The Muslims who are entering public office here in America align themselves with the radical Left. Strange, if they're truly anti-abortion and homosexual marriage. The radical Leftist who just became my governor is Latina.

    I honestly don't think it has anything to do with being white or not. It's satan, influencing individual people and entire nations. Freemasonry is one of his bigger tools, but he has corrupted nearly everything everywhere.

    The reason is because faithful practicing Catholics became lukewarm and worldly. This is our punishment, and the whole world gets worse and worse because we Catholics STILL haven't rejected the world and devoted ourselves 100% to Christ. If we did, our convents and monasteries would fill up, non-Catholics would flock in greater and greater numbers to the Church, our clergy would be strengthened in their faith, and the Church would transform the world.

    Thankfully Mary is doing a lot of heavy-lifting in these last several decades, or we would have all perished already.

    Quite a number of Indian people and their young children at Sunday Mass in our local church too. When I visited Knock in July there was a big group of Indian people there also. In the early afternoon they were having a Mass in the Apparition chapel, with three Indian priests concelebrating.
    I spoke to a young couple earlier that day and the wife was a doctor in one of the hospitals in Dublin.

    How do you even know that these people you heard on the radio aren't actors. And/Or are selected to portray a certain image to the Irish people?

    I have seen a lot of Irish that seem to have gone mad when I lived there. You know what I am talking about. If I selectively recorded only them and played it back to people in the US what image would it send.

    The media have an interest in displaying Americans as stupid people to Europeans and you bought into it hook, line and sinker.

    The worst part is that you get mad at some Americans for falling for propaganda when you just did it yourself.

    I’m not saying the Muslims are good. But, are they as bad as the radical Left? I think that when their numbers grow, they will ditch the radical Left, many of whose policies they despise. In the meantime, Christians need to forget about feeling sorry for themselves and try to convert the Muslims, which is already beginning to happen. There is a far greater chance of converting them than there is of the satanic Left.

    Notwithstanding that, most of the immigrants to the US are from a Christian background, even predominantly a Catholic one. This might be an opportunity for the US. But the present AIPAC-dominated uniparty system needs to go. Maybe, the new people will be the lever for that.

    I’d ask you to reconsider that comment, please, because the logic of it is so paranoid we might all consider abandoning communication with one another. Alternatively, you consider that politics in the United States is really the healthy example we should all be following.

    Most of the Irish have gone mad. I fail to see why the United States might not be even partially vulnerable to this fate, or are they all beyond criticism?

    I'm paranoid? You actually think Trump is going to launch a nuclear weapon. Believing warnings from Tucker Carlson who has a litany of failed predictions. Who has vague sources.

    Also, have you been awake the last 10 years? The media lies about everything. Remember covid?

    And please tell me where I said anything about US politics being healthy or being beyond criticism. I am talking about propaganda which you fell for and continue to fall for.

    No. I’m not well-travelled, at all. I probably have more reliable information about your country from the posters on here who hail from your country, including yourself, than from any other source.

    Of course, the US is a very major topic on the world’s media and on an immense number of blogs and websites.

    It has been proposed that I am the gullible victim of propaganda that is emanating from media sources, at least.

    Perhaps, this is true and I have been greatly deceived and the United States is a perfectly ordered society.

    If this is the case, I certainly apologise and limit my future comments to my own quite wonderful country.

    Why did the republicans get a mighty wipe out.

    No new wars: epic fail

    Release the files: epic fail

    Drain the swamp: actual swamp monsters

    Lower cost of living: yikes

    America first: well that didn't work out

    Etc etc etc.
    And no it is not the case that the sitting party gets wiped out at midterm the stats do not back this up .

    I just wish you could meet some of the people here, especially the ones still voting for conservatives, still believing that our country can turn back to God. My voting place was a little Christian church. As I was standing in line to vote, I saw banners quoting the Bible, asking people to turn back to God. I observed elderly country folk, faithfully turning up to try to help their country year after year after year. It's all they know how to do...to vote for conservatives that say they'll fight for God and family. What else can they do? Who should they have voted for instead? They don't know the freemasons have infiltrated everything...and honestly, I don't think they even really need to know. They're doing what they believe they're supposed to do, they're trying to follow God, save traditional values, and keep the crazy people from taking over their state.

    The fact is, we're up against so much evil, that people don't really know what to do. And I don't think we can stop it at this point. I think that God's secondary Will wills this, to purge and purify the world. We are on our way to that, almost at breakneck speed now. I think the best thing we can do is get our souls in order and help those in our immediate circle to do so, because it is beyond our power to get our countries in order. The countries of the world are all falling, even Poland, except for the very very few that are experiencing terrible persecution.

    I’ve been thinking a lot about all the conversations here today, and I appreciate everyone’s thoughts. I think there’s truth in much of what has been said, even when we see things differently.

    I don’t see America quite as negatively as some here do. Yes, we’ve made lots of mistakes and messed up plenty of things. There are certainly many concerns about where we’re headed. But I’m not sure there’s ever been a human government or society that hasn’t done the same. Perhaps some have done better than others, even today. But none are perfect. How could they be when they’re made up of imperfect human beings like me?

    I’m disappointed in our political leaders, particularly Trump, and I worry about what comes next. But after thinking about everything today, I wonder if I’m allowing myself to get too caught up in things that are ultimately passing away.

    It brings me back to the conversation earlier about Noah’s Ark. I keep thinking about that moment when the Ark first began to move. Everything Noah knew was changing. He couldn’t stop the rain or control where the boat was going. All he could do was trust God.

    And I wonder if that’s what I need to learn to do more of myself?

    I suppose we really can say the best is yet to come. But not because of another election, another president, or some political movement.

    It’s because there’s a Kingdom waiting for us. And it’s not an earthly one.

    I need to think about that for a moment. I have a King who loves me so much that He came into this world, suffered, and died for His own servants including this one. What earthly king would ever do that?

    And what does He ask of me? Really, it’s so simple. The Shema. Love God with all my heart, all my soul, and all my strength. And love my neighbor as myself.

    Imagine if I actually did that. How different would this world be? How much peace might we have?

    I think the peace we’re all looking for has to begin in our own hearts. But even that isn’t something I can do on my own.

    And that’s where I have to be honest. I fail at this all the time. I get angry. I judge people. I put my trust in things and people who eventually disappoint me. I certainly did plenty of that today!

    But I know I want to love God and my neighbor the way He’s asking me to. I just can’t seem to do it very well on my own. I need His grace.

    Maybe that’s what God has been trying to show me through all these conversations today? I know its what he showed me after my accident

    The world is going to keep changing. Politicians and governments will come and go. And eventually all of this will pass away.

    But I know God’s Kingdom won’t.

    So, my prayer is that I, Alyce, our children, grandchildren, and everyone we love will be part of it. And if I actually live the Shema, then I also pray for my "enemies" to be in that kingdom too.

    I need to spend more time worrying about than who’s in the White House!

    I apologise if I haven’t made a distinction between political America and the people of America. Obviously, there are very, very many fine people there, but there are some who blindly accept what the political class tell them and they must bear some degree of responsibility for this. Although the report has been questioned here, I don’t find it unbelievable that a voter was under the mistaken impression that Iran was the aggressor. On the other hand, the massive defeat that the Republicans have suffered is a consequence of most Trump supporters knowing lucidly of his failures and broken promises. Unfortunately, the alternative is the Democrats. Not to mention that there are also very many Americans who support their antiChristian policies.

    The jury still seems to be out on Poland. Please God, Tusk may not succeed.

    Our Lady reminds me of an eagle flying high above us in heaven and taking a birds eye view of us here down below. Her words are like the music of heaven. A prophetic eagle very like St John in Scripture. Queen of Prophets. Perhaps the reason she was sent so strongly in our days was that heaven knew the Prophetic voice in our days, that which would come from Rome and our Bishops has been failing and would eventually cease altogether. Why is this? Because so many of the voices we here are no longer Prophetic but speak to us n the exact same voice as the World. Why is this? Because we have forgotten to pray.

    In order to fly like a Prophetic Eagle and read the Signs of the time we too must pray the rosary with Mary. To see things with the eyes of God as Mary does:

    Psalm 91: On Eagles Wings

    You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
    Who abide in His shadow for life
    Say to the Lord
    “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!”

    And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings
    Bear you on the breath of dawn
    Make you to shine like the sun
    And hold you in the palm of His hand.

    The snare of the fowler will never capture you
    And famine will bring you no fear
    Under His wings your refuge
    His faithfulness your shield.

    You need not fear the terror of the night
    Nor the arrow that flies by day
    Though thousands fall about you
    Near you it shall not come.

    For to His angels He’s given a command
    To guard you in all of your ways
    Upon their hands they will bear you up
    Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

    There will always be an uninformed or misinformed electorate in every election. There are always going to be one offs promoted as if they are the norm. I see it all the time.

    However, the people you are referring to didn't even factor into the war or midterm results. Because Americans ultimately voted against the war in the midterms and the war was started after the Presidential election.

    Americans are by far the most politically charged people on the planet. Over all they are extremely informed in domestic matters.

    I had the privilege of opening and closing Adoration yesterday.

    Jesus was still there in the Monstrance, shining forth in the Glory of His Humility. Faithful Catholics knelt in worship. And as far as I know, the earth still rotated on its axis. :)

    No one and nothing can usurp His Rule or ultimate Triumph.


    Laudetur Iesus Christus! Praised be Jesus Christ!

    Semper laudetur! Always be praised!

    In saecula saeculorum! Amen! Forever and ever! Amen!

    Nunc et in aeternum! Amen! Now and in eternity! Amen!
