A different color today
Apparently, most of the “Trumpettes” have never finished high school, or they would have read John Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath,” where Californians blocked our border to keep out the desperate migrant families fleeing the Dust Bowl. The same meanness is rationalized, onlyl people have a different color today, but it’s still meanness. Sad.

No voter fraud just election fraud
How many times does it need to be stated that all studies over the past 30+ years have shown that voter fraud has NOT affected the outcome of any election? None of the states have reported any fraud worth noting.
The worst problem recently is the election fraud perpetrated by Republicans in North Carolina. There was no voter fraud, just election fraud. And, not only will there be another general election, there will be another primary because the Republican running in the general will not run and may even end up in jail.
Do we all remember the voter fraud commission enacted by our President? Run by the VP Mike Pence and Kris Kobach? One of the democratic participants finally, through a judge’s order, got access to the reports being created and directly afterward the commission was disbanded. The democrat recently wrote an opinion piece in the Washington Post. It is worth the read.
Now we have a letter written by Darryl Smith. Would Mr. Smith point to an election that was affected by voter fraud? Please? One comment that worries me is the contention that he was required to be able to read and understand the issues. Does Mr. Smith realize this
tactic was used by the southern states, during the Jim Crow period, to disenfranchise the blacks? Even when the black person was able to demonstrate the abilities they were marked as unable to. I suppose I should tell Mr. Smith that he is no longer allowed to vote because I
think he does not understand the issues. There is no requirement in the US Constitution requiring the ability to read or understand, and who would be the one to determine if you had the right to vote? Really, Mr. Smith, if there is actually a voter fraud problem, show us and we will get on it right away.

Only a nut case would keep $77,000 in cash in his home and $18,000 cash in his car.
I want to thank Bishop Vasa of the Santa Rosa Diocese for his letter informing people of each church in the Santa Rosa
Diocese of Father Oscar’s car accident and the finding of money bags of $18,000 cash in Father Oscar’s car and $77,000 in his home.
The newspaper North Coast Catholic also includes his request that people contact him about sexual abuse they have experienced in the Catholic Church. He states the Catholic Church is looking for transparency in these matters.
My priest loaned me the letter by Bishop Vasa, and I heard my priest read it three times to the three congregations I play music for every week end in St Joseph’s Parish in Lake County.
Having read the letter quickly, I still have questions and so do the people I have spoken with.
A friend who knows Father Oscar described how the people in her church knelt and prayed the rosary for Father Oscar, who according to the letter is now in the hospital recovering from serious injuries, one of which is a broken hip.
This friend is asking in her heart if we will ever learn the complete story, since Bishop Vasa wrote, I believe, there will be no criminal charges against Father Oscar.
Another woman expressed her belief that only a nut case would keep $77,000 in cash in his home and $18,000 cash in his car.
Did this accident happen by chance? We would never have learned about these money bags if the accident had not happened?
I believe each one of us has a story to tell. Will we ever know the complete truth about Father Oscar? How did the priests who have been found guilty of Pedophilia get that way in the first place? Were they raised in the Church also?
God grant that we all take a look at ourselves and pray for Justice, Truth, and Love in our own lives, in our government, in our Churches and in our World.

Crisis at the border: detention camps same as under President Obama
Once again the miss informed Democrat socialist Mr. Hui needs to get his head out of the sand and be reminded that the illegal alien detention camps on our border are operating exactly the same as under Obama. males and women/girls are separated by chain-link walls for a reason. Or would you prefer illegal alien females being sexually assaulted? Maybe Mr. Hui and other Democrat Socialists would prefer we put them all up in for star hotels. Our country is trillions in debt and we don’t have all the money or resources to take all the people of the world. Wake up. Mr. Hui please supply documentation that supports your claims that the overcrowding is so bad that illegal aliens are standing on top of toilets to breathe or other of your claims. (more fake news, otherwise) I guess Mr. Hui missed the report of a group of Latin clergy members visiting these so-called concentration camps and found nothing negative to report. if any died it was most likely from the conditions of traveling miles to our border. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez votes against sending any money to resolve the crisis at the border yet travels down there and mouths claims about the alleged poor conditions. Drinking out of toilets, get real. with limits of space, toilets at these facilities are combined with sinks on top of them. this is where these false claims came about. duh.
