It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Her Majesty The Queen this afternoon. She was the epitome of duty, service, and her reign is one of history's great landmarks. She was upheld to her own vow to the end - to her people, her faith, and family.

I greatly admired Her Majesty for many years and I feel honoured to have shared correspondence with her for over 30 years. She has been "Gloriana" to many of us for so long, selfless and with a unique wisdom. There will never be another like her again.

I join in the prolific prayers of thanksgiving for the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and wish the grace and peace of God to her family. May they be comforted in the life they shared with her as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

May the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,
Requistat in Pace.

God Save the King !!

Peace be with you all...
Today I was asked by a good friend, whom we have not seen each other in 10 years, "Wow, are you a Democrat?" Thus, my answer:
Not exactly... I am an intelligent independent thinker who sees s**t as s**t and Shinola as Shinola, I'm not fooled by bulls**t rhetoric, ignorance of truth and facts, obvious fascism, misogyny, murder, and tyranny under the guise of "America First'!
I will not allow lesser people lacking in morals, dignity, and deniers of the simple truth and trying to steal the freedoms and assurances, UNDER LAW, guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America!
I am a proud Veteran of the United States Army, XVIII Airborne, Army Medical Department. I swore in January 1980, that "I WILL support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
To date, I have NOT been relieved of that Oath in any form, and I and my fellow Veterans are still under that Oath!
Unfortunately, those who have had their reality warped by the wicked, foolish, and ignorant. Trumpian ass-lickers and his sycophants that have been legally proven to have attempted to subvert the democratic process which is enshrined in our government, and institute a fascist dictatorship ruled by pathetic excuses for human beings. May not remember their obligations as members of the greatest military force the world has ever known and have cast their lots with nothing but assorted versions of f***s in human appearance.
"A" (female friend), when they come after you for having a va**na, and telling you what you can and cannot do as a free human being, I will always stand with you and anyone in need against such evil and ignorance.
My father fought in WWII. His generation killed fascists; they didn't elect them to office! Neither will I or anyone I call friend!
I hope this clarifies things.

Peace be with you...

Please forgive my recent lack of postings. This is due to some medical issues which I am going through. I will be fine, just having to “jump through the hoops”.

I want to thank all those from the Philippines who have commented and liked my page. Having lived in Manila and Quezon City, I have an affection for the Philippine people and their plight of bad government after the presidency of Benigno Aquino III. Then cruelty of the Marcos dictatorship and their theft of the Philippines people’s wealth. The family was excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church, yet the Philippine people obviously have not learned from their mistaken belief in a better nation by allowing these people to return to power in the country.

Duterte was a petty murderous dictator, the Philippines’ version of Donald Trump and Hi**er. He openly murdered the people of the Philippines and exploited the law of his nation. He was also excommunicated. He supported the Iglesia ni Christo, a widely known cult formed by a family who seeks wealth and power. The Iglesia ni Christo is NOT a Christian community, but a satanic cult being used to exploit their followers through theft, intimidation, and other crimes. Other Catholic bishops, like myself, have condemned this organization and declared it a cult with false non-Christian worship and doctrine.

The injustices carried out by the Marcos family and the Duterte regime I consider as crimes against the humanity of the Philippine people. The billions stolen from the Filipino people is not only a scandal but also demonstrates the power of celebrity being incorporated in the realm of global politics and human rights issues. If you do not think it is true, then look at the hundreds of children searching the landfill in Manilla or the thousands of cardboard shanties that line the roads and highways of the country. Being made to stay poor by a few pathetic people is a crime, a travesty, and is fascism.

I hereby make a direct appeal to the Filipino people to be more informed and to put the welfare of their children before those who wish to exploit you. Do not allow yourselves to be charmed by the purported aspirations they state, it’s all a lie.

Trust in God and the mercy of Christ! Pray for the end of dictators and scam artists all over the world. Until then, you will never escape the poverty, the exploitation, and deaths of the innocents accused under falsehood. Be assured I will always stand by those who are exploited, maltreated, and the families of those killed by evil men.

Let us pray,
Almighty God, we ask that you save the people of the Philippines from the ambitions of evil people who wish to economically, spiritually, and morally for their own narcissistic egos and desire for wealth by any means necessary. Fill the Filippino hearts with hope and defiance against the roots and participants of murder, exploitation, and corruption. May the Blessed Mother of Jesus, plead before Our Saviour of their needs. My those who have died by the hands of these dictators and thugs, rest in peace.

May God Bless the People of the Philippines.
I impart my blessings to you all, + in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

(If I lose you as a follower or friend, then I am sorry you feel this way. "The truth will stand when the world is on fire!")

Peace be with you all,
For the past two days my heart has physically ached, and not due to my history of cardiac issues. I am beyond mortified, angry, saddened, and embarrassed to be known as a Native Texan at the soul-wrenching events in Uvalde.
There comes a time, regardless of political preferences to say,
"WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF OUR CHILDREN DYING FOR NO REASON! WE HAVE TO SAY NO MORE, DO SOMETHING NOW, FOR US, NOT YOUR POCKETS FOR GUN MONEY!"
The time is now to actually and realistically answer the questions of all parents, "What can I do to keep my child safe"? Let me proffer some advice:
1. Vote every single politician who has taken money from the Gun Lobby in any form, truth denier, charlatan, con-artist, and ultra right-wing Trumpians OUT OF OFFICE!

2. Quit looking to blame others for your choices in the ballot box against the majority wishes of the populace. Your egos are writing checks your asses or wallets can never cash! Those you have hurt with your insane diatribe are coming for payback! (Example: Alex Jones)

3. Evil (which hatred is a form) is learned first at home! Clean up your moral compass so that you don't infect the future of humanity with your lies, ignorance, and bulls**t!

4. I remind you that the words: Please, Thank You, Sir, Mamm, and other good manners NEVER fail in ANY situation. "Manners maketh man."

5. END THE WAR ON WOMEN! This inane male-made argument ended 50 years ago with the "Pill"! Your ingratiating arguments are moot.
I have a question for all the pro-life men, what are going to do when your underage daughter or your mistress gets pregnant? You as****es will ROTC (Run Off to Canada) to "take care your little indiscretion"!

6. FYI, the subject of "Critical Race Theory" was never really discussed outside of the academic realm, usually in 300-400 undergraduate level courses in Sociology, Race Studies, etc.. It certainly is known in these departments at the GRADUATE LEVEL. NOT in public schools, In all truth when the subject started peaking, the only ones discussing it were the MAGA asshats. It was never a "Democrats Issue"!

7. Trump himself and many of his closest ass-lickers and sycophants have publicly acknowledged that he lost the 2020 election!
ITS OVER... FIND ANOTHER ISSUE TO MA******TE YOUR BELEAGUERED EGOS WITH!

8. Since 2016 a deep and darkening psychosis of power hungry despots attempting to seize all they can for themselves, and f**k the rest of the world. (Example) Russia is currently stealing Ukrainian grain to send back to Putin's coffer's, not the Russian people. He can sell that grain to anywhere in Africa, North Korea, or China and make some good bank.) THIS HAS TO STOP NOW!!
In this electoral year, in many places in the world, the electorate has been cajoled into the false promises and personality cults of PROVEN evil people, the Trumpian stooges throughout the United States, Marcos in the Philippines, Orban in Hungary, and the list continues. It is time to discontinue the trend of autocrats, dictators, and true fascists (Yes, Putin, Trump, and all his sycophants, Proud Boys, Televangelists, NRA, Prosperity Gospel, and associates)... NOW!

9. Since the Second World War, countries have enforced the idea of a "Rule of Law"-- assurances of a just, peaceful, and prosperous life for all of humanity. It is time for ALL peoples of EVERY nation to seriously ask their representatives, "What have you done to eliminate our people's fears of true justice, a peaceful land to live and prosper within, and allow the full potential of humanity to come to fruition in harmony and mutual understanding amongst each other?"
Franklin D. Roosevelt ascribed the Four Freedoms, "the freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear". Let us use our individual efforts to make these freedoms an assured reality!

10. Climate Change and Global destruction are REAL!!
It is because of mankind's overuse of the natural resources (greed), deliberate poisoning of the waters and breathing capacity of the planet (water + air = survival), since the Industrial Revolution! Yes MTG, we are all to blame!!

There, I have had my say on the present and persisting issues we as a nation, and as a species face. My heart is still heavy, my conscious is less stressed that I have the ability to share mutual concerns together.

May God in His infinite mercy continue to bless and keep you. +

Let us pray for the victims and their families of the shooting at the 36th. Street Station in Brooklyn.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
+ Amen.

This abomination must come to and end... NOW !!
Continue to pray for the people of Ukraine, especially the children.

When a House of Prayer is a target of aggression, a beautiful place dies from petty evil.
When the target of a soldier is a child, that person has forfeited their souls, and in ways, those of their own children.
