BREAKING: @MSNBC Producer Admits MSNBC Is 'Doing All They Can to Help’ the Harris Campaign

During an undercover date with an OMG journalist, Basel Hamdan (@BaselYHamdan), a writer and producer for MSNBC’s show “Ayman,” (@AymanMSNBC) was asked what the network has done to assist the Kamala Harris campaign. Hamdan revealed on hidden camera that “what her [Harris’s] message of the day is, is their message of the day,” as MSNBC actively pushes Harris’s narrative to help her win. He admitted that MSNBC is doing “all they can to help,” Harris get elected, with the network operating as an extension of the campaign. He went on to say, "MSNBC is indistinguishable from the party," further highlighting their partisan agenda.

In discussing the relationships between the MSNBC hosts and Democratic politicians, Hamdan reveals, ”The anchor and the politician are just in total agreement about everything.” He adds, “If you watch an interview with a Democratic politician, they just finish each other's sentences.”

Hamdan also didn’t shy away from criticizing the network’s audience, stating, “They’ve made their viewers dumber over the years,” and explaining that MSNBC is “too cozy with Democratic politicians.”

Happy Feast of the Archangels!!
Ask your priest to pray the Pray of St. Michael at the end of Mass today!

Read the story behind the St. Michael's Prayer and the conversation Pope Leo XIII overheard between Jesus and Satan:

In 1886 Pope Leo XIII instituted what would later be known as the “Leonine Prayers” after Mass. These prayers include the well-known Prayer to St. Michael. Pope Leo had a profound vision that sparked its creation.

The vision occurred between 1884 and 1886 and took place during the celebration of Mass. Pope Leo had a visible change come over his face during the vision and one claims that his face was “pale and fearful.”

A cardinal at the time who knew the pope’s private secretary explains that “Pope Leo XIII truly had a vision of demonic spirits, who were gathering on the Eternal City (Rome). From that experience … comes the prayer which he wanted the whole Church to recite.”

Pope Leo witnessed a conversation between Jesus and Satan:

Satan says to Jesus: “I can destroy your Church.”

Jesus replies: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”

Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.”

Jesus: “How much time? How much power?

Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”

Jesus: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”

Pope Leo’s vision prompted him to quickly compose the Prayer to St. Michael, and to request its use at the end of Low Masses. The pope lived during particularly turbulent times, and he believed prayer was needed to dispel the darkness that hung over the world. A longer prayer to St. Michael, sometimes known as the exorcism prayer although it was not intended for use in actual exorcism rituals, was approved by the pope 3 years later in two versions, one for clergy and one for lay individual prayer.

St. Michael the Archangel is recorded in the Book of Revelation as, “fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven” (Revelation 12:7-9). Based on this episode in scripture, St. Michael is frequently depicted in art thrusting a lance, spear or sword into Satan, who is often depicted as a serpent or dragon.

Happy Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe!
She is endlessly amazing:
- Not only are people reflected in her eyes, they're distorted perfectly by the curvature of the eye
- Indestructible: survived a bomb untouched
- She changes races!

With Fr. Mark Beard's recent, tragic death, I felt compelled to write about the recent escalation in attacks against our priests in South Louisiana and to ask for your prayers for them on this most fitting of feast days ...

St. John Vianney, pray for us!

[Scott L. Smith, Jr. @scottsmith8100]

Fr. Mark Beard died days ago in tragic car accident. Watch his Last Homily and listen to his prophetic words for his own life and for yours!
St. John Vianney, pray for us!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

[Scott L. Smith, Jr. @scottsmith8100]

Been thinking about this prayer during the #WinterStorm:
"Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight in Bethlehem in PIERCING COLD."
He was "pierced" for our sins in birth & death, and yet Merry Christmas!🌟

Publishers have inadvertently created an awesome opportunity for publishers of classics and normal stories

A great Advent message of hope in this tragedy: Fr. Otis and Ruth Prats of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Covington, LA were recently killed and their bodies burned.

NCR is kind enough to provide us with a do-not-read list of Catholic Books
Note:
- That's National Catholic Reporter @NCRonline
- NOT National Catholic Register @NCRegister, which is (a) awesome and (b) actually Catholic
