Depending upon where one looks, Trumps MSM approval rating is 36-39%. Other sources find his approval rating up to 59%. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/25/president-trumps-approval-rating-rises-57-percent/ "Things appear very promising for the new White House: A new Rasmussen Reports survey released Thursday says President Trump has a 59 percent job approval rating among likely voters. In separate findings, the pollster also isolated key passages in Mr. Trump’s inaugural speech and asked respondents if they agreed with the ideas he presented. Voters like Mr. Trump’s populist standing: 72 percent agreed with his statement that “For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.” 17 percent disagreed, 11 percent were not sure. A majority of the respondents — 52 percent — also agreed with this statement: “From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward, it’s going to be only America first.” Thirty-seven percent disagreed, 11 percent were undecided. In addition, Rasmussen also reveals that 54 percent of voters favor a proposal that would cut spending up to 10 percent and cut staffing up to 20 percent. in some federal government agencies. Twenty-seven percent oppose such cuts, while 19 percent are undecided."
Thank you ETA. I hope people don't let this one slip by without noticing it. Are we paying attention people? They are growing half pig/half human babies now to abort for their organs. The evil that is going on here is unthinkable. It mocks God. His creation. Life. Motherhood. Fatherhood. Then ends in a ghastly inhuman operation to kill the creature and take it's organs for others to use. It reduces people to mere material to buy and sell and destroy at whim. This is absolutely MONSTROUS!

Imagine waiting for hours, in stifling heat, for the possibility of Mass and the Eucharist January 29, 2017 By Colleen Duggan Recently, I found myself at my in-laws’ dining room table having dinner with two African priests, Father Augustine and Father Jean, both of whom are fluent in at least five languages and studying for Master’s degrees in prestigious Catholic programs in the United States. After just a semester in America, these two priests have a sense of the spiritual poverty we experience here, and over glasses of wine and juicy steaks, they were quick to explain the differences they observe in the U.S. compared to Africa. “In my country,” Father Augustine said, “Christianity is still new and when people convert, they are on fire for the faith, but there are not enough priests to cover the large territories. We cannot get Christ to the many people who need him.” He told us this story: “One day I was bringing communion to a rural area in Africa. I borrowed the rectory’s only car and after driving several hours, I came to a road that was flooded with water, with no way to cross. The people I intended to visit that day had not been to Mass in over one month. They had been without Christ in the Eucharist for over a month! I had to get to them; I could not leave them without Jesus. I couldn’t disappoint them.” Father sat quietly in his car for a few minutes, wondering what to do. Crossing the road was physically impossible but leaving the people without the Eucharist was also impossible. On the side of the road, he noticed a man working. Father Gus got out of his car and explained the situation to the stranger. Father asked the man if he could borrow a bike he noticed that was sitting against a tree. The worker agreed so Father went back to his car, collected his Mass kit, and strapped what he needed onto the bike. Then, using a stranger’s bike, he rode in the stifling heat for several hours more to get to the people. When he arrived, he was thirsty, soaked with sweat, and covered in thick sheets of dust. He was also hours late for Mass. “But the people,” he said, “just sat there in the church waiting for me. They were not angry, they were not impatient I was late. They wanted Christ in the Eucharist and they knew I would bring Him to them. They were happy to wait until I arrived.” Father Gus and Father Jean had other stories to tell — tales of overcoming ridiculous obstacles in order to bring Jesus in the Eucharist to the spiritually hungry. After one evening with these priests, I realized that compared to them, I expend very little effort bringing Jesus Christ to anyone. I get frustrated and give up quickly when my attempts to pray with my own children are met with discord and protests. I often allow my vanity or pride to keep me from sharing my faith with others who don’t think the same way I do. I talk myself out of saying the blessing in front of people because I don’t want to make any of us uncomfortable! I don’t always clarify inaccurate statements people make about the Catholic Church and her teachings. Father Gus and Father Jean ride bikes across the African wilderness to bring people Jesus. Do my acquaintances even know I’m a Catholic? But the most poignant questions their testimony prompted me to ask myself included: would I wait for over an hour in an empty church to receive Christ like those committed African converts? Is my entire day, week, or month focused on the moment when I can receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ? Is the Eucharist the focal point of all my thoughts, the summit of all my actions? How many times do I—the spoiled American I am—complain when I don’t receive the Eucharist or the sacrament of Confession in the manner I desire? The evening I spent with Father Gus and Father Jean will stay with me for a long time. While our time together consisted mainly of stories they told about teaching Catholicism in their home country, those two holy priests also managed to bring Christ to a suburban dinner table in America and they shared Him with a group of people also in desperate need. - See more at: http://aleteia.org/2017/01/29/imagi...-mass-and-the-eucharist/#sthash.aTmC2HHp.dpuf
Thank you so much for posting this story. There's been a question about Africa in my heart for some time. I think I have found some of the answers to it here. So, once again, thank you.
Where was the USCCB during the past EIGHT YEARS of Obama & Democrats (& EU) Blatantly & Obviously ignoring Christian Genocide and depopulation in the Middle East and only allowing a tiny % of Christian Refugees to enter? ..... Eh!!?? Why do US/EU/Canadian godless Left/Liberals, after near 50 Years of Islamic Terrorism, defend/embrace Islam?? .............. and why do so much of the Catholic Hierarchy support covertly/overtly that Left Agenda be it Islamic Invasion, Gay "Rights" and even abortion! The below article talks about $80 Million Federal funneled into USCCB "Migration" Projects. Ya accept the King's Shilling and Ya dance to the King's tune! There is a reason for Global Chaos in 2017.

Yesterday at Mass the visiting priest used his homily to conflate Friday's actions by President Trump as not in keeping with Jesus' teaching in the beatitudes. He lumped this together with the March for Life (not really mentioning the evils of abortion per se, but our need to care for everyone -- especially those who are already here) and the fact that Friday was Holocaust Remembrance Day. He put forth the usual social justice talking points and one or two brave souls walked out. But, overwhelmingly, the audience was supportive (Ugh!). Not surprising because I live in the People's Republic of Masschusetts but I was stunned when many clapped and even stood afterwards. Sickening. When people reveal their leanings publically I am still surprised. I just can't understand the mentality. Feel as though I am surrounded by the pod people. I sat through Mass but finally pulled myself out of the pew when the cantor launched into an impromptu singing of 'Let there be peace on earth.' Maybe a little late, but I had had enough and walked out with my two sons (who were aware of the tension but not really sure why). In my mind, I rehearsed going up to the priest and asking when he was going to expound on the Church's teaching regarding gay marriage but I thought better of it. I had to teach CCD right after and took the opportunity to expunge any social justice teachings from the lesson. I taught the rosary and about the really presence. The anger, hostility and blindness that surrounds me is becoming overwhelming.
Quebec Mosque Attack ............... RIP Victims! Alternate News is "leaking" that the killers are Muslim. If so we have Muslim on Muslim Terror ... just like they have in the Middle East!

I'm sure that you have already seen the Michael Voris interview with Bishop Gracida about the state of the USCCB. It's very revealing.
Cathy, That would be so difficult to sit through. I would probably start crying in the middle of it! It does seem like the divide between the two sides is getting worse. Our priest added to the prayers of the faithful that there would be an end to all discrimination everywhere, which I took to mean that he was talking about the order on immigration. So many people just blindly believe what the media tells them.....including everyone I am surrounded by. It is frightening.
I really don't understand all this hatred against Trump. OK so he wasn't the candidate most of us wanted ..BUT... do these knee-jerk haters really prefer Mrs Clinton? A woman who has screaming fits when the cameras have stopped rolling. Whose staff are bullied and harangued and whose security detail dread being assigned her? I guess they do. I'm so sick of asking people over here in the UK why they would have preferred Hillary. Trump is very much disliked over here, people aren't well educated about American politics and they just repeat what the lackey media are telling them. As Heidi says, it's frightening. Our society is wallowing in its own filth and thinks it is clover. Cathy, it's probably just as well you held your tongue. If you're teaching CCD you might have found yourself not teaching it much longer.

If true, as related in this article, this is the worst I've seen on this subject....to kill in order to be rid of the "problem".

Discrimination is an intellectual gift. Trump is attempting to discriminate between people who are genuinely seeking refugee status and those who are potential or actual jihadists. If offered the choice of a glass of water or a glass of sulphuric acid, will one not discriminate between the two? To pray for an end to all discrimination everywhere, a concept nowhere mentioned in the Gospels, is to pray that all become fools. I do think that people are, slowly, beginning to see through the lies of the media. However, due to the effects of group-think, this phenomenon happens more slowly where there are higher concentrations of liberals.
In France, candidate Fillon appears to be in yet deeper doodoo, with reports of payments to his children and a police raid on his parliamentary office. The way may be opening for Marine Le Pen, particularly if Fillon is replaced by a lukewarm Conservative candidate, and Fillon supporters defect to Le Pen.
