    2. Thanks for heads up, Timothy, so we know to amp up our prayers and penance. May St. Michael aid them to ‘…not go gentle into that good night, — rage, rage against the dying of the light. ‘

  7. Well one hour ago CA says no more worship indoors. No indoor worship for First Day of Advent.

    Strict stay at home orders in effect and curfew from 10pm to 5am.

    Demonic overreach once again. And our Bishops will fold.

    3. The Archbishop sent word out that he’s not happy about continued overreach when it comes to worship since barbers, nail salons, etc stay open with modifications. He will be discussing next steps with brother Bishops and lawyers to see what remedy they have.

      My suggestion: don’t close, period

  9. Happy, Blessed, Holy Advent to everyone! This Advent seems so significant. (I can’t find the words to explain it, but this is in my head: “the King of Glory Comes….”)
    Fr Heilman continues the good fight: FB jail, Jericho marches in Madison, homilies that are a call to action, etc. Here is a novena that starts tomorrow: https://usgraceforce.com/st-maximilian-kolbes-nine-day-preparation-for-total-consecration/
    He writes:
    The day on which all “state recounts and court contests over presidential election results must be completed” is on Dec. 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I believe this is providential, and provides an even greater reason for deploying the “St. Maximillian Kolbe Strategy.” If this emboldened Leftist/Communist/Fascist Cabal steals the Presidency, we are, very likely, looking at generations of oppression and persecution.
    The prayers for this novena are here: https://usgraceforce.com/st-maximillian-kolbe-nine-day-preparation-for-total-consecration/
    I know that, especially at this time of year, so much gets in the way of prayer (and that includes the temptations not to pray). I know this for myself, right now. Please, consider the need at this crucial time and plead to the Immaculata for our Country. God bless everyone here.

    1. Sorry, there should have been a line space before “the prayers for this novena…” since my poor thoughts begin with those words. 🙂

  10. Here’s an interesting article that echoes just about what Charlie told us the day after the election.

    Las Vegas Oddsmakers
    are never wrong!
    By: Wayne Allyn Root
    November 27, 2020

    I’ve been a Las Vegas odds maker and sports gaming expert for four decades- long before I became known as a nationally syndicated conservative talk show host. I understand odds and gambling in a way that no other conservative media personality, host, or politician in this country could.

    And I can tell you something is very wrong with this presidential election. It reminds me of a fixed football game. Remember the famous fixed 1978 game between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants quarterback handed the ball off. The running back didn’t want it. It fell on the ground. Herm Edwards of the Eagles picked it up and ran it into the end zone with seconds left for a last second victory. Every bettor in the world knows that game was fixed. It doesn’t matter if you can prove it. We all know.

    Gamblers also feel the same way about this presidential election. This presidential election is rancid. It feels as fixed as that Giants-Eagles NFL football game. Let me give you the details of this election- from a gambler’s perspective.

    Trump entered the night a 2 to 1 underdog. As soon as the polls started to close and the picture became clear, Trump’s odds quickly moved to even money. Then Trump became the slight favorite. Then a moderate favorite. Then a 2-to-1 favorite. Then 3 to 1. 4 to 1. 5 to 1. 6 to 1. 7 to 1. Finally, Trump moved to 8 to 1 favorite.

    What does all this mean? Bettors putting their money on the line during Election Night have always proven to be deadly accurate. Smart bettors can clearly see what direction a race is taking. Bettors around the world clearly saw what I saw, when they stared at the electoral map- Trump was headed for an electoral landslide.But something wasn’t quite right. Fox News wouldn’t call Florida for Trump- even though he was ahead by a mile. They wouldn’t call Ohio- even though Trump was ahead by a mile, They wouldn’t call Texas- even though Trump was ahead by a mile. I sat there screaming at my television.

    More strange calls. Fox News had called Virginia for Biden at the start of the night- with Trump well ahead in Virginia. Trump would remain ahead in Virginia for three long hours after Fox awarded the electoral votes to Biden. Why would they do that? What was the rush? It made no sense.

    Biden was awarded Virginia with Trump ahead. But Trump was ahead by a mile in Florida, Ohio and Texas, yet Fox News refused to award him the electoral votes. I knew at that moment, something was wrong.
    Something smelled fishy. Something was rotten in the DC Swamp. Bettors witnessed Trump dominating. He clearly won not only those key states of Florida, Ohio and Texas, but Trump also enjoyed large leads in the entire Midwest- Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa. It was all but over. Trump had an electoral landslide. Hence the massive 8 to 1 odds in favor of Trump.

    And then it happened. It was the most bizarre call in Election Night history. Fox News called Arizona for Biden. Why? It wasn’t even close to over. There was no reason on earth to make that call. Arizona is STILL not over 8 days later. CNN still hasn’t awarded Arizona. ABC pulled it back from Biden only 24 hours ago.

    Why would Fox News be in such a rush to call Arizona for Biden? At that moment, Trump’s odds crashed almost instantly from 8 to 1, back down to 2 to 1. That drop set off alarm bells. My friend who is one of the biggest bookmakers in the country called me to say, “Wayne, something is wrong. I’ve never seen a drop like that, let alone a drop that fast. How can Trump go from 8 to 1, to 2 to 1. Someone knows something. We’ve got a problem.”

    It was as if someone had decided in advance to give Arizona to Biden- whether he won it, or not. It was as if the secret code was known to only a few billionaire gamblers, “Fox News awards Arizona to Biden.” Six magic words. Someone was ready for that call. Someone waited until Trump was a prohibitive 8 to 1 favorite, then knew to bet millions of dollars on Biden at the longest odds of the night. Someone knew the fix was in. Someone made a fortune.

    There’s more to the story. First, by awarding both Virginia and Arizona to Biden way too early in the evening and also going super slow awarding states to Trump where he led by a mile, Fox News made sure Biden had the electoral lead all night. That’s another big part of the story. Just like the fake pollsters suppressed Trump voters for months in advance of the election with polls falsely showing Trump losing by a landslide, fake “news desk” employees sure appeared to be suppressing Trump votes on Election Night. And also creating an air of invincibility for Biden. If Biden led in every poll before the election, and led all night in electoral votes, then it wouldn’t look like a fix was in, when Biden suddenly wound up the winner the morning after. Right?

    One more piece of the puzzle. From almost the moment that secret code “Fox News awards Arizona to Biden” was spoken, three key Midwest battleground states with Democrat Governors all decided to stop counting votes for the night, with Trump way ahead. Why? Why all three, at the same time? Like they were coordinated in advance. Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania all mysteriously quit counting around midnight.

    To add to the idea of a fix, these states merely claimed they were stopping counting for the night. After TV cameras and Republican poll watchers were all sent home, these Democrat states all resumed counting, suddenly finding all the ballots they needed to overcome large Trump leads.

    I actually took screen shots before I went to bed. Trump was winning Michigan by over 300,000 votes when they stopped counting. He was up in Wisconsin by over 100,000. In Pennsylvania he was up almost 700,000 votes. But in the wee hours of the morning I took a new screenshot. Suddenly Biden was up by 9,000 in Wisconsin and 30,000 in Michigan. How’d that happen? I thought they stopped counting?

    It all started with that bizarre Arizona call by Fox News.

    Folks, someone knew. The fix was in. A few key people made millions betting on this election. They knew the exact minute to jump in. They knew exactly when a Trump landslide would turn to a Biden victory, with the help of a fake TV network call and fake ballots.

    They knew Arizona was going to be called way too early. They knew that fake Arizona call would trigger vote counting to stop and massive ballot fraud to begin.

    I don’t know what the Supreme Court will decide. But bettors all over the world know in our guts exactly what happened. The fix was in, no different than that famous NY Giants-Philadelphia Eagle fix in 1978 at the Meadowlands.

    Trump was robbed. This election was stolen.

    1. Wow, he sounds like someone who would know from the “inside”! So there’s more than just a fraudulent election; someone made a lot of money and it was planned to a “T”.

      Joyful, that call to prayer has gone around and I have forwarded it to others. Let’s pray many will keep on praying hard! I know I’m just one tiny cog in the wheel, but am trying to do my small part!

      Mother Mary and St. Michael the Archangel, cover Trump, his family, all those trying to expose evil including Sydney P and others; may all the evil thrown at them go back from whence it came!

    2. That’s very interesting, indeed. I hadn’t thought about the gambling angle on election night and the next day. I’d only heard that bookmakers are not yet paying out because the election has not yet been settled.

    OPERATION OVERLORD 2.0

    If God is calling you, I am asking that you add this “Operation Overlord 2.0” to your daily prayers, knowing December 8 could be our “make or break” moment in time. Here’s how it works …

    Starting Monday, November 30, we will enter into the St. Maximillian Kolbe Nine-Day Preparation for Total Consecration
    Be in a State of Grace = Go to Confession
    Add whatever intense fasting, penance and mortification God is calling you to during these nine days. Renew fitness goals
    On December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, we will all make our Marian Consecration (or renew it)
    Dedicate yourself to wear the Miraculous Medal every day (or carry it. The Combat Rosary has the Miraculous Medal)
    We call upon the intercession of the Blessed Mother, St. Michael, St. Maximillian Kolbe, Pope St. John Paul II and Mother Angelica
    PETITION: May truth be revealed, and may America and the Catholic Church become strong in God’s power. – Ephesians 6:10
