One of the best things I’ve seen for a while.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

Thanks, Fr. Z! This is so uplifting that it’ll hang amongst the holy cards on the front of our fridge, which will be a reminder to say extra prayers for you, the Trump family, and for our enemies. Continued love, appreciation, and prayers with God’s most abundant blessings to you!
That cartoon is great.
How do you say ‘yee-haw’ in Latin?
No, they’re called Moving Asters. They are delivering flowers to conclude the Lavender Period of US Politics. (The Eponymous Flower may have had something to do with it.)
Watch out for Mr. Trump’s removal van, it’ll say Moving Asterisks.

I’m not even American and I’m exited about Trumps presidency:)
It just couldn’t get better. We intend on celebrating their walk across the lawn by cracking open a bottle of Bailey’s, tooting a horn, and waving a flag. Eight long years, they cannot end soon enough. Kudos to him for reminding us in the last few weeks just how horrible he is. He’s a small, vindictive, angry man, he reminds me of someone else.
It will be a happy day. God bless the Trump and Pence families, his presidency, and America!
The GOP has said that they will defund the baby parts store Planned Parenthood: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/01/winning-gop-will-defund-planned-parenthood-video/
Where’s that “Messiah” music when you need it?!
Im glad Obama is headed out, but it’s hard to get too excited about Trump.
Rich, we voted for an unknown (partly) quantity vs. a known quantity.
That could only be the one photo we’ve been waiting to see for 8 years. Should have never (not that the alternative in ’08 was necessarily any better, but at least he was a known quantity with a record rather than a cipher with no perceived plan other than selling hope and change) arrived at this point, but, like the presidency of James Buchanan, we somehow made it through.
As we will, for better or worse, make it through the next 4 years. Though, to my mind, the choice this last cycle was crystal clear, regardless of what the Lamestream Media was peddling.
January 20, 2017, 12:01 PM, END OF AN ERROR!
didn’t think the day would ever come did we? At last! Obama leaves in 2 weeks and our PEOTUS Trump is sworn in .That’s the good news. The bad news is that van doesn’t have to far to go.Obama is staying in Washington D.C. It can only mean trouble. Stay alert.
