‼️ LA Mayoral Race STOLEN?
In one late ballot drop, Pratt received zero votes out of twenty-four thousand.
He had been polling near thirty percent.
The chance of that exact result is extremely low.

It is criminal that our government enabled a bat virus to infect and spread between humans. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a bigger betrayal of our species.
It is equally troubling that the mad scientists who did this then gaslit all the people of the world about it, including those who CORRECTLY interpreted the evidence.
Then, of course, the very same monsters amped up fear of the Covid frankenvirus and steered the panicked public away from safe medicines, and toward an obviously dangerous gene-therapy which they falsely called a vaccine in order to lure us into acceptance.
These are among the greatest crimes EVER committed against humanity. We now have persuasive evidence of everything I have said above.
If we don't correct the record and hold the perpetrators to account, this pattern will happen again, and again, and again--shortening our life expectancy, and degrading our quality of life each time that it does.
This is our Nuremberg moment. We can not simply move on from this ghastly chapter of history. We must finish it.

"I studied the Koran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large, there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad."

Leftoids say nothing about the separation of mosque and state.
They only freak out about the separation of church and state because it's always been about driving Christianity out of society.
A federal judge has been reprimanded for engaging in repeated sexual encounters during office hours in chambers with a police officer. The judge then lied and attacked the whistleblower. However, the judge will continue to pass judgments on others... https://t.co/GtREcVrDyn

Solitude
1. A man who has no love for solitude does not love God. It can easily happen that worldly objects dazzle the mind and enchant the heart, so that anyone who is greatly occupied with them does not see or experience God in any way. A man who talks a lot with other men rarely speaks with God. God's voice is heard in silence and in solitude, and we must listen for it if we wish to have any ease of conversation with Him. It is fatal to allow ourselves to be deafened by the noise of the world and never to listen for the voice of God which speaks within us.
Only those who have been called to a higher vocation can live in a cloister, but a little solitude is necessary for everybody from time to time. It may be a course in the Spiritual Exercises, or a monthly day of recollection, or a quarter of an hour spent every day in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. In these moments of detachment from the world and of intimacy with God, we can enjoy conditions far above any which can be found on earth. Such moments can be the beginning of a new life. The Holy Spirit incites us through the prophet Osee to find these necessary intervals for silence and prayer: “I will allure her and will lead her into the wilderness: and I will speak to her heart.” (Osee 2:14) Jesus set the standard for us when He spent forty days alone in the desert, fasting and praying. Even though the Apostles were engaged in public missionary activity, He was anxious that they should retire from it for a while in order to refresh themselves spiritually. “Come apart into a desert place,” He said, “and rest a while.” (Mark 6:31) St. Bernard wrote that silence and peace far away from the noise of the world helped the soul to meditate on God and on spiritual matters. (Epist. 73) “Solitude is Heaven to me,” (Epist. 4 ad Rust.) said St. Jerome. The Blessed Virgin also took refuge from distraction and loved the solitude of her home in Nazareth, where the Angel first announced to her that she was to be the Mother of God.
2. A little solitude is necessary for everyone, but “it is dangerous to concentrate our attention too much on ourselves if, having discovered our own weakness we do not raise our thoughts towards God to implore His mercy.” (P. Cordovani, Breviario Spir., P. 14) It is disastrous if solitude leads to laziness or to futile mental rambling. Solitude should be active and fervent. It should be an ascent towards God. It should help us to form the habit of continual conversation with God so that nothing can break our union with Him. A man who only prays when he is on his knees prays very little. The Gospel says that we ought always to pray. Solitude of the heart enables us to obey this precept. “Of what use is the solitude of the body,” asks St. Gregory the Great, “without the solitude of the heart?” (Lib. XXX Mor., cap. 12)
If we wish to have this spiritual solitude which will keep us close to God, our hearts must be detached from worldly affairs. “If a glass vase is filled with earth,” writes St. Alphonsus, “the light of the sun cannot penetrate it. Similarly, the divine light cannot penetrate a heart which is preoccupied with the love of pleasure and of honours.” (Al Divino Servizio, III, 2)
Let us love solitude, then. Let us look for it whenever it is possible, but above all let us keep our hearts free from earthly attachments and united to God.
3. Mary, my beloved Mother, you found in spiritual solitude a true detachment from created things and a loving intimacy with God. Grant that I may not be led astray by the attractions of this world, but may focus my thoughts and affections on Heaven and on Him Who is the final end of my life and will one day be my everlasting happiness. Amen. (Antonio Cardinal Bacci)
Mary, Help of Christians, is a beloved title of the Blessed Virgin Mary, expressing her role as a powerful intercessor and protector of the faithful in times of peril. The devotion draws from the earliest centuries of Christianity, when believers turned to Mary as a maternal advocate close to her Son, Jesus Christ. Church Fathers such as Saint John Chrysostom in the fourth century referred to her using terms that evoke help or aid, rooting the title in the ancient recognition of her compassionate presence in the life of the Church.
The title gained particular prominence in moments of historical crisis. In 1571, as the Ottoman Empire threatened to overrun Christian Europe, Pope Saint Pius V urged the faithful to pray the Rosary and seek Mary's intercession. The decisive victory of the Christian fleet at the Battle of Lepanto was attributed to her aid, leading the Pope to add the invocation "Help of Christians" to the Litany of Loreto. Centuries later, during the Napoleonic era, Pope Pius VII endured years of imprisonment. His release and return to Rome on May 24, 1814, prompted him to establish the universal feast of Mary, Help of Christians on that date as an act of thanksgiving.
In the nineteenth century, Saint John Bosco became one of the title's most ardent promoters. He experienced visions of Mary under this invocation and made her the principal patroness of the Salesian Family, which he founded to serve the young and the poor. Through the Salesians, the devotion spread globally, emphasizing Mary's ongoing maternal care for the Church and her children amid trials.
Today, Mary, Help of Christians, remains a beacon of hope. Her feast on May 24 invites believers to trust in her intercession, recalling that just as she stood by the early Christians and aided them in great dangers, she continues to guide and protect the faithful in every age. The title encapsulates a profound truth of Catholic piety: Mary, as the Mother of God and our spiritual mother, stands ready to help all who call upon her with confidence.
