Minnesota heads back into lockdown.

In the inscrutable wisdom of our gubernatorial chancellor, it has been determined that we the people mustn't celebrate Thanksgiving this year with more than ten members of our family.

This measure will not only keep us safe, of course, but will also provide us with a welcome opportunity to prove both compliance and party loyalty.

It will also provide greater opportunity for the Health Gestapo to work out some of the kinks in their contact tracing surveillance network before Field Marshal Biden takes command.

This new order is very much in compliance, by the way, with the directives of Central High Command, which has already called for home invasions for the purposes of removing family members who may be feeling a bit under the weather:

I don't know about you, but I feel much safer now!

Never mind that here in Minnesota more of our family members are dying from gunshots than from COVID, the main thing to keep in mind is that the Party has our backs.

I can't wait to see how the governor "reimagines" enforcement of his new lockdown orders after the wardens of our democracy have defunded our police. After the Great Reset, nothing will be impossible here in the New Order.

One small quibble, if I may: If the lockdown measures didn't vanquish the "invisible enemy of the Fatherland" the first time around, why will they do so now? Back in the halcyon days of the Old Normal, doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results, was a widely accepted definition of insanity.

But that was then, I suppose. Now we're in a New and Glorious Normal, where looking for logic is proof of the white privilege we all need to check at the door.

Speaking of übermenches, NYC's Mayor de Blasio has decided to save a few more lives than he already has by cracking down on folks planning holiday gatherings: 

The holidays we associate with travel and the holidays we associate with big indoor gatherings, big meals together – that, unfortunately, this year can’t be the case,” de Blasio said in a Monday press conference.

It seems the election fraud is in danger of eclipsing the COVID crisis. The country briefly encountered a real problem and, at least for a week or so, everybody forgot about the COVID "casedemic". Can't let that continue! 

So just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas, the lockdown is on. After all, it's so much safer to stay out in the streets, break a few windows and chuck bricks at whatever cops are left out there than risk associating with dangerous family members who don't care about Grandma.

No doubt some enemies of the people would prefer to take their chances with COVID rather than languish in Gulag Stay Safe.  But, when you think about it....well, what right do we have to think when supermen like Tim Walz are out there every day doing our thinking for us?  

Covid über alles, baby, über alles in der Welt.

Although the presidential campaign was long and all-consuming, the nation remains at a crossroads.  While 2020 has been a tumultuous year with zealous partisanship driving both sides of the political spectrum, it came as no revelation that Election Day would not see a clear winner. 

This most contentious of presidential elections and its ensuing legal challenges will test the foundation of our American constitutional republic to its core.

Once again, Donald Trump outperformed the pollsters’ predictions of a Biden landslide, making them appear more like partisan hacks than political scientists. 

Almighty and Eternal God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords: graciously turn your gaze to us who invoke You with confidence.

Bless us, citizens of the United States of America; grant peace and prosperity to our Nation; illuminate those who govern us so that they may commit themselves to the common good, in respect for Your holy Law.

Protect those who, defending the inviolable principles of the Natural Law and Your Commandments, must face the repeated assaults of the Enemy of the human race.

Keep in the hearts of Your children courage for the truth, love for virtue and perseverance in the midst of trials.

Make our families grow in the example that Our Lord has given us, together with His Most Holy Mother and Saint Joseph in the home of Nazareth; give to our fathers and mothers the gift of Strength, to educate wisely the children with which you have blessed them.

Give courage to those who, in spiritual combat, fight the good fight as soldiers of Christ against the furious forces of the children of darkness.

Keep each one of us, O Lord, in your Most Sacred Heart, and above all him whom Your Providence has placed at the head of our Nation.

Bless the President of the United States of America, so that aware of his responsibility and his duties, he may be a knight of justice, a defender of the oppressed, a firm bulwark against Your enemies, and a proud supporter of the children of light.

Place the United States of America and the whole world under the mantle of the Queen of Victories, our Unconquered Leader in battle, the Immaculate Conception. It is thanks to her, and through your Mercy, that the hymn of praise rises to you, O Lord, from the children whom you have redeemed in the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Editor's Note: Shout out to Kate, the vocalist and writer of this powerful new song.

I would encourage you to pay close attention to these very profound lyrics.

Kate tells us she has been sharing Remnant TV videos for a long time, and we're happy to return the favor.

Let's help her get this video out far and wide. MJM

A music video exposing the roots of the radical Left, posted to Facebook last week, is going viral. Titled “Why I’m Walking Away,” the video tells the story of socialist infiltration in the United States, drawing parallels between historical and modern events, and interweaving personal testimony with powerful imagery.

From early feminist and civil rights marches, to the tearing down of statues and burning of buildings, to the erosion of free speech, the video and song paint a sobering yet empathetic picture of the impact of Marxist ideologies, juxtaposed against scenes of hope, unity, and patriotism.

There are some Americans who have received numerous ballots in the mail over the past month that you’d think they were already deceased.  Who among us has not read or heard about mail-in voting shenanigans occurring throughout our fruited plain? 

For Democrats there are no wrong addresses, only misplaced and uncounted ballots.  Covering elections years ago, the standard refrain throughout the Pennsylvania Coal Region was the Democrats always had a 500-vote advantage before the polls ever opened their doors.

A journeyman is defined as someone who is reliable, not outstanding, but more of a placeholder than anything else. 

In today’s politically charged universe, who does that remind you of?   

There is no greater representative of the entrenched, bureaucratic, political class better known as the “D.C. Swamp” than Joe Biden and his nearly half-century membership highlights it.  Biden will serve his most crucial role as the placeholder for Kamala Harris, if the presidential election goes as predicted for Democrats. Provided you are unfamiliar with what the 25th Amendment of the Constitution entails, it won’t be long until you are.   

Robert Gates, who served as defense secretary when Biden was vice president would later write that Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” 

When asked what he plans to do about dementia, Biden pledged to increase their foreign aid and accept all their immigrants. 

Biden presides over a Democrat party that coddles extremists and ignores riotous violence.  Biden’s campaign slogan of “Build Back Better” is more suited as “Build back Bitter.”  

If Democrats did not have double standards, they would have no standards at all. Turn off the rhetoric and study what they actually do.  For instance, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, over the preceding decade the Biden’s gave an average of $369 per year to charities.  Biden is all about using your money, not his. 

Biden’s mantra about saving the “soul of America,” is bizarre coming from a man who responds to political incentives quicker than Pontius Pilate.  Biden wears the Catholic badge as he does his mask when campaigning from his basement.  Biden should wear two masks – one for each face. 

His “devout” Catholicism is derisive and a sham. 

Biden is the most radically pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ, “Catholic” candidate ever to headline a national ticket.  Biden embraces sodomy as “marriage” and has even presided over one. 

Biden’s self-serving flip on the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal tax dollars from paying for abortions, speaks to his character that only distances himself from the truths of Catholicism, particularly that every life is sacred from conception to natural death.

He is certainly catholic with a small “c” when it comes to abortion, and his pro-abort running mate Kamala Harris, when she was California attorney general, played a key role in defending Planned Parenthood over its sale of aborted baby parts in violation of federal law.  A Biden administration would not only codify abortion into federal law but make the taxpayer foot the bill.  They would also force the Little Sisters of the Poor to fund abortion and contraception.   

In Catholic circles, Biden is what you would call a “cafeteria Catholic” – someone who adheres to whatever Church dogma suits them.  Cafeteria Catholics are legion and heretics, too. 

If Catholicism were a crime, would there be enough evidence to convict? 

Testimony points to a Biden acquittal. 

Ever since Judas betrayed Our Lord, you can trace all major crises to the silence of Christian clergy and by doing so they surrender their moral authority.  For Biden and any Catholic reading this, it was at the Council of Trent where St. Pope Pius V prophetically said, “All the evils of the world are due to lukewarm Catholics.”  

Where are the Fulton Sheen archbishops of today?  If you need more convincing, run an internet search for the homilies of Father Altman and Meeks. 

Economist and scholar, Thomas Sowell summed the 2020 election in these words: “If the election goes to Biden, there’s a good chance that the Democrats will then control the two branches of Congress and the White House, and considering the kinds of things that they’re proposing, that could well be the point of no return for this country.”   

As we head into the election’s home stretch, one must never underestimate the percolating sensation of the “shy voter.”  Given all the political animosity that is anti-Trump, the “shy voter” is one who considers it taboo to declare openly that they would vote for Trump.  They could very well be the 2020 version of the Silent Majority. 

Much can occur during the last weeks of any election year, let alone the most conspicuous presidential election in more than a century. 

Doubtful? 

In 2016, Hillary Clinton was leading by nearly seven points at this juncture. 

History can be a resounding echo.

(JH) What is your opinon on Fratelli Tutti, particularly its silence regarding abortion, especially in light of what the encyclical defines as the “biggest concerns” for politicans?

(+CMV) Fratelli Tutti, in speaking about the concerns which should motivate the actions of politicians, mentions the “phenomenon of social and economic exclusion, with its baneful consequences: human trafficking, the marketing of human organs and tissues, the sexual exploitation of boys and girls, slave labor, including prostitution, the drug and weapons trade, terrorism and international organized crime.”^[1] These are all plagues that need to be denounced, but which I believe are already recognized as such by many people. The focal point, which is much more important from the moral aspect, but not mentioned in the Encyclical, is abortion, which is tragically claimed today as a right.^[2]

This deafening silence concerning the most odious crime in the eyes of God – because it is committed upon an innocent and defenseless child depriving it of life – betrays the twisted vision of this ideological manifesto that is in the service of the New World Order. Its slanted vision lays in psychologically prostrated submission to the requests of mainstream thought, while looking at the teachings of the Gospel with the myopic and embarrassed view of those who consider it unthinkable and outdated.

Watch Below (Michael's appearance begins at minute 2:30)

Bishops working on racism, illegal immigration rights and climate change have no time for leadership such as reported below. Four Madison County Pastors are responsible for backing down Northam. At least the ecclesial dystopia at weekday Mass is over (assuming Bishop Burbidge passes this authority to his pastors.)
