Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen

Thanks for the response.

Senate Republican Ron Johnson: ‘We can’t afford’ $2,000 tariff checks​

“Look, we can’t afford it. I wish we were in a position to return the American public their money, but we’re not,” Johnson told Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo.

“We’ll have at least a $2 trillion deficit this year,” Johnson warned, comparing the staggering national deficit projected for 2025 to smaller deficits under former President Obama and during Trump’s first term.

And what has been the trend in each of the polls.

Polls are mostly about trends, changes from one point in time to another, rather than anything approaching absolutes.

Nice! The old format brings back a lot of memories!

I lost someone young too though with far different complications than what you have. I can say too that while it has lasting affects, the problem with my relationships has not been any sort of promise, but rather the idea of other women not measuring up.
While your promise is noble, I think you should void it. Why? because there is no marriage in heaven. I imagine the woman who died would want you to have a chance. I would confess that promise as a sin, and try to move on giving yourself at least the option for marriage. It seems likely you are hardwired for marriage, so trying to short circuit that now is going to result in some pain for you. In your confession, I would tell God too that you are sorry you made that promise too if you did not consult with Him. Chalk it up to trying to do the right thing, that ended up in tragedy, but please don't carry that tragedy much further. Honor her life by remembering her and learning to grow in Christ with all that God can bless you with including a wife and family.
As to comparisons of her to other women, you will be able to overcome that. You have to see your role and any future woman you date from God's perspective, not yours. I will say too that God is very compassionate when you lose someone close like that. He will certainly try to bless you out of that loss when the time is right. Am alternative that helped me too was to consider foreign women.
I am certain the whole ordeal is like a test to you, with all kinds of emotions and thoughts. Rather than having even a hint of blaming God, which you may or may not be doing, you have to dig deep and let the relationship serve to inspire you to do even greater things for God. That death in my life inspired me to become a Christian, to this day, decades later, it continues to help me care more about others. I pray her death will be a positive catalyst for you too in every way, including marriage if you find the right person. God bless.

What happened?

The White House won't say — but a spokesperson insisted the president personally crafted the lettering.

'He is very involved in these beautification projects… [President Trump] is making the White House beautiful and giving it the glory it deserves,' the spokesperson said, adding that only those suffering from 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' would object.

The truth of GOD can only be known by the elected saints of GOD. The carnal world will call GODS truth foolishness. We can know even the deep things of GOD. By the way, the holy spirit is the FATHER. The FATHER is holy and is spirit and as Jesus said is the only true GOD. HE is the GOD and FATHER of Jesus and through Jesus our GOD too. These are hard things , impossible things for the world to comprehend.

There is more the one suspicious contract. Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts

Church employee in Texas allegedly posed as ICE agent to extort woman​

Donald Doolittle, 58, a safety director at the Gateway Community church in Webster, south-east of Houston, has been charged with impersonating a public servant.

According to police, Doolittle booked and received a massage from a woman operating out of a north-west Houston office building.

Police said Doolittle then pulled out an ID card labelled “ICE”, identified himself as an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent, and asked to see the woman’s identification. She showed him her temporary visa but Doolittle allegedly then demanded money.

“He demanded she Zelle him $500 or he would take her away and she would never see her family or children again,” a magistrate said during a court hearing on Saturday.

“The document required more careful consideration and refinement, but above all it should have been prepared by persons competent in the field.”​

ROME, 21 November 2025—One of Church’s leading authorities on Mariology has sharply criticized Mater Populi Fidelis, saying the document reveals the theological and methodological incompetence of those who produced it.

In a recent interview with Swiss media (RSI), Father Salvatore Maria Perrella, OSM, former Professor of Dogmatics and Mariology at the Pontifical Theological Faculty Marianum and twice its Dean, said the new doctrinal Note on the Marian titles “Co-redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces,” issued by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith under Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, should have been more carefully considered and refined. He emphasized that, above all, “it should have been prepared by persons competent in the field.”

The respected Italian Mariologist argues that the Note draws excessively on Pope Francis, whose perspective dominates the text in a way he finds unbalanced and lacking depth. He suggests the result is a document that falls short of the competence, thoroughness, and historical grounding normally expected from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.

The articles say, "plus statutory interest and other additions to tax accruing thereafter.."
I'm not certain exactly what that means but it appears some interest is being applied but I don't see a specific mention concerning the penalties that should also be applicable.

I was thinking, scientists say psychics breaks down when a star implodes. Everything`s limited to the speed of light, except when a star is imploding, dying, it can expand as fast as it wants to, they say.

Does that mean you can find a dying star, and then ride the wave when it implodes to travel faster than the speed of light? Is that the only way do it also?

Aficionados of sacred vestments and other objects of liturgical art are reasonably familiar with the fact that if you proceed into the subterranean levels of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome (accessed through the baptistery and ultimately through the adjacent gift shop for those who are not familiar with how to access it) one can find numerous objects of liturgical art that are worthy of your attention.

The lower museum -- which is free to access incidentally -- contains some of the most important vestments on display in the collection, including vestments worn by St. Pius V, St. Charles Borromeo and the Barberini pope, Urban VIII. (Regrettably, photographs of the vestments found in particular section are notoriously difficult to get good photographs of due to the poor nature of the lighting as well as the highly reflective glass.) This lower museum also contains various other impressive objects of liturgical art, including altar candlesticks and crosses, reliquaries and so on. Here is a small taste of some of what you can find in the lower treasury museum.
