God Bless America, Land that I love, with her imperfections....Stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from above, please never forsake her....From the mountains to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, she is and ever will be vast and unsurpassed in her grandeur.... God always bless America, through the turbulence....Our Home Sweet Home.
Many of us have been following the letters, reports and announcements of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó since 1918 when he released the famous letter placing much of the blame for sexual abuse coverups at the hands of high level clergy, including Pope Francis. He continues to be a devoted shepherd of the Faith, encouraging his flock to seek truth where darkness prevails in matters of lies and misinformation promulgated throughout the Covid-19 lockdowns and in an experimental vaccine program that is less than transparent and is in conflict with teachings of the Church, yet is promoted by the pope. Archbishop Viganó tells us the pope is "...... the primary sponsor of the vaccines, who has not hesitated to define them as "a moral duty.......".
If you are questioning or in doubt of information or the intentional censoring of information concerning the vaccines then you will want to register for this summit and listen to an amazing line up of speakers, including Archbishop Viganó, Dr. Pam Popper, Robert Kennedy Jr., Bishop Athanasius Schneider and many others.

Rush was larger than life! The sound of his voice was energizing, commanding, full of life and always upbeat! His broadcast theme was uniquely bold, most fitting for his nature and phenomenal talent!
I started listening to Rush in 1988, the year my third and last child was born. My daughter was a "Rush Baby". I would listen to Rush and she'd be in her baby swing.I was an avid listener of talk radio for a few years by then. I had been working on my Masters Degree at the time and during my commute I would catch up on the local and national news of the day. The late 80's, early 90's and early 2000's were plagued with their own set of social, economic and foreign policy problems and talk radio provided a venue for news, analysis and dialogue.
Some of the well known radio hosts of that time were; Bob Grant, Curtiss Sliwa, Geraldo Rivera, Ron Kuby. Less known were Mike Gallagher, Steve Malzburg and others. Talk radio was fast becoming a preferred medium for 24/7 news, commentary and provocative conversation. I was the perfect demographic to receive information this way and listened every opportunity I had. Being a mother with 3 young children, attending school, commuting at least 2 days a week and maintaining a household, I could have my news on the go in the car and at home.
I guess you could call me a news junkie. I wanted to be informed on all main events, topics and persons making the news as well as analysis and commentary from the greatest minds of our time! Rush Limbaugh was that mind for our time. He was the "voice of reason". He voiced our thoughts, elevated our concerns and expressed our sentiments with candor and love. He was true to himself, unyielding in his beliefs and not the least bit apologetic or pampering to his detractors. I and millions of others loved him for that. His words reflected his love of country and in a roundabout way his love for his audience. You might say he was a lot like President Trump in that way. I saw many similarities to President Trump.
He was of the same generation as Donald Trump, both products of the greatest generation and beneficiaries of American ingenuity, productivity and prosperity. They embodied the values passed down through the generations that promoted individualism, hard work, responsibility and love of God and Country. They worked tirelessly at developing the skills and expertise that brought them extraordinary success in their fields and propelled them to the pinnacle of success, Rush to "King" of Talk Radio and Donald Trump to the highest office in the land, President of the United States of America!
It's no coincidence that Rush rose to prominence when he did. His voice was a clarion call to those in congress to stand their ground in support of preserving American values and culture. Counter culture was gaining a strong hold in the late 80's. The Clinton years gave rise to sexual promiscuity as displayed in the White House, the nuclear family was under assault, schools were becoming indoctrination centers promoting socialism undermining parents' control and the list goes on. Rush was there challenging these forces for 30 plus years carrying the banner for America, its timeless principles and exceptionalism.
The breakdown of American culture was underway and intentionally accelerated during the 8 years of the Obama administration. Patriots responded to the threats and violations of our freedoms, giving rise to the Tea Party movement. Rush of course, a patriot, supported the movement, encouraging citizen action and promoting the Tea Party's objectives. We could always count on Rush for wisdom, honest advice and encouragement in the face of ridicule and opposition. There were others who used their influence to advance liberty, but none could compete with the intensity and longevity of Rush Limbaugh!
His legacy will be a constant reminder of the strength of conservative thought, the power of individualism and man's desire to remain free, unlimited and bold in his quest for achievement as intended by our Creator!
Rush will live on in the hearts and souls of us who love him! He will be missed dearly and loved forever!!
There are so many wonderful memories of Rush's broadcasts but I was moved as Rush was when he listened to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" on April 16, 2008 at a ceremony welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the White House. I want to share it with you. It was played again March 4, 2021 by guest host, Ken Matthews. I believe it captures the essence of Rush!
Here are Rush's words describing his emotion upon hearing this famous hymn honoring God and Country.
Ladies and gentlemen, before we get into the political news of the day, I want to play for you something that happened this morning on the White House lawn: The largest welcoming ceremony ever in the history of the White House for Pope Benedict XVI. We have audio sound bites of the president’s greeting to the pope and the pope’s response.
I saw something that genuinely moved me. I was sitting here staring at this and listening to this, and I was just blown away by it. Two things happened. The event and the music itself moved me like I haven’t been moved in quite a while, and the setting where it took place and the reason that it was happening. I mean, I’m sitting here thinking, divine intervention today at the White House
The Battle Hymn of the Republic was sung by the U.S. Army Chorus, and you have to hear this, particularly if you haven’t had a chance to have your TV on today or your radio, and you didn’t hear this. You have to hear it and you have to imagine a crystal-blue sky, a crisp day in Washington, the pope and the president on the reviewing stand with others, the camera occasionally focusing on the U.S. Army Chorus.
You realize, this is at the White House, and a song written in tribute to God is being played at the White House. In this country there has been such an effort — and it has been way too successful — to remove God from anything public. Not only was God present, but the largest White House welcoming ceremony ever participated in a ceremony thanking God and respecting God and offering up a tribute to God, and you just have to hear this. It runs about 4:47. It’s infectious, so well done. The U.S. Army Chorus, The Battle Hymn of the Republic
Please listen and enjoy as Rush would have wanted you to.

In the wake of the storming of the Capitol, many are blaming President Trump for the violence. Of course, he never instructed anyone to engage in violence. Nevertheless, his critics argue that he stoked people's passions, which he did, and can therefore be held accountable.
If this is the standard—inflammatory rhetoric—then Trump's critics are at best ethically compromised. Consider the following remarks, made by the kind of people who are now hammering the president.
"I need you to get out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face." Presidential candidate Barack Obama, 2008
"When they go low, we kick 'em. That's what this new Democratic Party is about." Former Attorney General Eric Holder, 2018
"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that [Trump] Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere." Rep. Maxine Waters, 2018
"Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople." Sen. Cory Booker, 2020
"People will do what they do." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi commenting on violent protesters, 2020
"You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives, and unfortunately there is plenty to go around." Rep. Ayanna Pressley, 2020
"They're [left-wing protesters] not gonna stop before Election Day in November and they're not gonna stop after Election Day. And that should be—everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not gonna let up and they should not. And we should not." Sen. Kamala Harris, 2020
"And please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful." CNN host Chris Cuomo, 2020
"When you see a nation, an entire nation, simultaneously grappling with an extraordinary crisis seeded in 400 years of American racism, I'm sorry, that is not the same question as the understandably aggrieved store owner or the devout religious person who wants to go back to services." New York City Mayor Bill de Blasiojustifying illegal street protests that violated social distancing norms while he restricted church services, 2020
"I can't imagine what it would look like if we said to people, 'Actually, you have to stay in. You have to ignore systemic racism—I'm sorry, just ignore it. Stay in.'" New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy justifying illegal street protests that violated social distancing norms while restricting church services, 2020
"As public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital to the national public health and to the threatened health specifically of black people in the United States." Twelve-hundred health and medical colleaguesjustifying illegal street protests that violated social distancing norms, 2020
"Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence." Nikole Hannah-Jones, New York Times journalist, 2020
"We don't have to finger-wag at protesters about property. That can be rebuilt." David Remnick, New Yorker journalist
"The notion that nonviolence is tactically more effective...has not only been proven wrong over the past week by sheer numbers; it cannot be historically supported." R.H. Lossin, Ph.D., The Nation magazine, 2020
"A siege [of the White House] only works if it is sustained. We witnessed this—the multiplying power of a strategic occupation—nine years ago. You dig in, hold your ground, and the tension accumulates, amplifies, goes global." Adbusters, the group that started Occupy Wall Street, 2020
Many more examples could be given. In fairness, these comments, while incendiary, are not direct calls for violence. But it is also true that nothing Trump said was a direct call for violence either.
Left-wing commentators and activists (pretty much the same these days) have no moral authority to lecture the rest of us about violence committed by right-wing protesters. They nurtured a climate of violence over the past year by giving Antifa and Black Lives Matter their blessings.
If they were principled, they would do as the Catholic League does and condemn violent protesters regardless of their cause. But they are not.

TRUTH or CONSEQUENCE
cont'd.
I posted an article yesterday that shows the knee jerk reaction of some so called news sites to run with an incomplete version of facts to muddy the waters in order to advance a narrative that suits their agenda. As one would expect in any big story, reports, pictures and newsworthy information are being uncovered rapidly. Good reporting is gathering it all, verifying sources, sticking to facts, eliminating none and avoiding conjecture. In the article sited in my previous post, the writer disqualifies the existence of facts that were already reported by January 7th, that a" far-left Antifa/BLM activist.... had "been identified as one of the people who allegedly was part of the siege of the Capitol building....."(100percentfedup.com) Zerohedge.com reported on Jan.7 that there were multiple reports that Antifa activists were brought in by bus. "In fact, one patriot actually recorded video of the Antifa buses......." (zerohedge.com) but is no longer available on twitter. According to zerohedge.com another activist (image provided) was positively identified as a member of Philly Antifa.
If you read theVox.com article sited previously you will see these discoveries were left out of their report to set a narrative that Paul Gosar, other republicans and Trump supporters were advancing a conspiracy theory alleging antifa's involvement in the Capitol riots. We know from a subsequent report by thespectator.info that a BLM/antifa member was seen storming the Capitol.
The facts continue to come out and will for a long time. The facts hopefully will reveal what transpired and the perpetrators. My experience and first hand knowledge of freedom loving, patriotic Americans is not what took place at the Capitol on Wed., Jan 6. There were infiltrators, troublemakers who's mission was to create unrest. In my estimation, they were successful at infiltrating, flaming the fire of anger and inspiring some to follow (maybe 1%)which can occur organically in large groups. Unfortunately there are followers in every group. I marched numerous times with tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of patriots between 2009 and 2012 and there was never an act of violence directed at individuals, government buildings or monuments!
The next post, an article by Bill Donahue of the Catholic League gives an account of incendiary language that provokes confrontation by many on the left that has been ignored or not reported by the mainstream media.

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCE
From time to time I will be posting articles written by various authors to provide chronological perspective. It is important to understand the language and images as they were chronologically written in order to grasp the mainstream media's 4 year pre-election narrative that was injected with post-election propaganda creating a narrative on steroids. This narrative is prepared, written, perpetuated and approved by network moguls, played nightly on their networks, spread widely by the censorship of Big Tech, delivered most times by Democrats/socialists and sometimes, more times than we want to believe by duplicitous Republicans (to correct error) who abandon ship when the going gets tough. As reported in a previous Vox.com article dated Jan.7, 2021 Kelly Loeffler did exactly that when she withdrew her objection in a floor speech on Jan. 6, 2021.
The far right is falsely blaming antifa for the pro-Trump insurrection on Capitol Hill
Conspiracy theories alleging antifa involvement spread quickly in the riot’s aftermath.
I'm thrilled to see people checking in once in a while. I didn't expected to see any activity because I've been away from writing for so long. I love to write but have been a little preoccupied the last 4 years with a wonderful diversion, my five grandchildren. I watch three of them two days a week. It is one of the greatest joys of my life. I find it exhilarating and fun and it keeps me young. At the end of the day I know my grandchildren are safe and loved and growing up in an environment rich in values, traditions and faith that is so important in the life of a child. Our culture has to get back to caring for our own children and depending less on day care. We need to promote the family and the impact it has on the health, development and well being of children.
I teach religion to a first grade class and have been doing that and substitute teaching for 20 years. I love teaching but I love my country more. I feel a responsibility to act when my country is in trouble. Our country is in need of every citizen's attention! In the past I used blogging to inform, report and comment on important developments. I intend to provide that insight again. Yesterday was the culmination of weeks of waiting for answers to the unresolved election results. I have been a supporter of President Trump for four years. I believe in his policies and I believe in HIM. I was extremely disappointed that the GOP did not demand the complete hearing he was entitled to.
January 6, 2021, was the worst day in my lifetime since 9/11. The outcome was alarming and devastating......, no...., I'm not referring to the obvious, what main stream media wants you to think about. I'm talking about yesterday's turn of events that prevented a thorough examination of every aspect of each state's election irregularities. It isn't in the best interest of our country to block the collection of information that can provide transparency and restore integrity because a minority of people (at best 1%) breached the capitol which recovered in approximately 4 hours? One can't help but QUESTION the motives of those who would obstruct the completion of this procedure. And question, WE SHOULD and not stop until we get answers and finality to an unprecedented steal involving electronic manipulation, manipulation of state election law and the dereliction of election officials. All this must come to light not later, NOW for the sake of our Republic and to restore integrity to the election process.
So what were the motives of those who wouldn't allow for a complete account of election irregularities on the floor of congress yesterday? And was it a coincidence that the violence broke out just as the first state, Arizona was presenting its objections? I say no, Capitol authorities deemed the Capitol safe and deliberately resumed proceedings quickly so that the images of unrest were fresh in the minds of Congress, creating the perfect scenario for them to be free of ridicule if they reneged on their objections to electoral results and that's exactly what happened. "Originally, about 14 Senate Republicans and roughly 140 House Republicans had planned to vote in favor of the objections, meaning some lawmakers did change their votes after the attack on the Capitol on Wednesday". (Li Zhou, vox.com) In the end 7 senators and 138 congressional representatives voted in favor of objecting certification results and only Arizona and Pennsylvania were permitted to present their objections to the Congress.
The motives to deny evidence of wrongdoing in theNov. 3rd election are; to ensure the elite power structure, hate for Trump and to complete the organized political Coup d'etat underway before Obama left office. The elite power structure consists of Washington Insiders, aka,"the swamp" who are diabolically driven to retain power and who are guided by impulses to eliminate all who threaten their control. This is true for many senators and congressmen, Washington establishment types, many in our intelligence agencies and disturbingly and never heard of in my lifetime, military leaders! The last group is a frightening reminder of how fragile our Republic is.
The senators, congressmen and congresswomen who acted courageously in the face of reprisal from their peers and Washington elites are my heroes! These patriots remained fearless and loyal to our president along with the hundreds of thousands of voters who traveled to Washington that day to support President Trump and the process of providing transparency to election results.

Now this is a mayor! Zdenek Hrib, Pragues mayor, sees China's offer of help as calculating and a predictable move by its leader to elevate its global power. "That's the message the mayor of Prague has for Chinese officials desperate to rebrand Beijing as a global superpower by selling supplies and offering aid to countries around the world struggling to fight coronavirus" said, Bernini Chakraborty. I applaud the mayor for his courage and for governing according to a set of principles and a moral code, something desperately lacking in many large cities across America, like New York and LA. The mayor of Prague is a young, strong leader who presents the skills and perseverance to play a leading role in the Czech Republic some day.
