Here is a report, just received from Menagerie:

“He’s out! In recovery, heart rhythm appears to be normal. All reports were positive during surgery. The hole was very large. Alex and David will get to be with him within the hour.
All prayers answered. Much gratitude!”

You may have noticed my mention of the verse in Corinthians – faith, hope, love – and how it has surfaced in my thoughts and memories in my comments these last few days.  This photo is from the chapel here at the children’s hospital at Vanderbilt.  I sought it out to say my rosary, and this message was here for me.

I believe this is the Q&A that has created a stir:

Over a month ago (August 19th) we shared:
It is critical to remember.

The professional power brokers who make up the RNC/GOPe “establishment” would rather see Hillary Clinton win an election, allowing them to remain in their power position, than to lose their place at the trough via a “conservative” or “outsider” who would take the executive branch and possibly remove their power.

According to MediaIte Glenn Beck is promising to bring Mid-East refugees into the US illegally.   Citing a Daily Caller interview with Beck -who was overwhelmed with emotion, and began crying- Beck is asking his followers to send him $10 million.  With the money Beck is promising to smuggle the refugees into the U.S…..

[*Note To Self* David Barton heads Ted Cruz Super-Pac, and Beck’s Mercury One Charity… nudge, nudge…]
(Via MediaIte) […]  Beck said that he had asked his audience to raise $10 million before Christmas to help take in Christian Syrian refugees. “Stop asking for permission!” he said. “Stop thinking we need permission… We will vet them ourselves. I have former CIA people that are going over and they’re vetting everybody right now. We can save more people by Christmas than Oscar Schindler saved, okay?”
Beck said if the State Department refused them entry he’d find them a way in the country, even if he was thrown in jail. “I know some bridges over a river in Texas that doesn’t seem to matter… I will so gladly grace a jail for a justice cause of saving people’s lives.” (more…)

I don’t seem to remember during the “Unaccompanied Alien Children” humanitarian crisis of 2014, any EU nation offering to take in thousands of South American “refugees” – or offer assistance…. 

Just sayin’

 

Will this finally be the tipping point where people recognize that Glenn Beck is an unstable, self-centered nutter?  Too soon to tell.  It will be interesting to see how his partner Dana Loesch responds/aligns on this.
Last year it was the insufferable “Soccer Ball and Teddy Bear Tour” for illegal aliens.  In February of this year he stated he swore off the Republican party forever and would never return.  Now Beck mounts a full-throated attack against Sarah Palin…..  As previously stated, the Donald Trump campaign is putting a spotlight on the festering underbelly of corporatist political media.  Beck being a big part of that.
(Via Washington Examiner) Glenn Beck ripped former Alaska governor Sarah Palin as a “clown” on his radio program Thursday, one day after sharing a stage with her at an anti-Iran deal rally in Washington, D.C.  (MediaIte Link)

“I didn’t listen to her speech. Yeah, I’m going to say it,” Mr. Beck said. “I don’t care what Sarah Palin says any more. Sarah Palin has become a clown. I’m embarrassed that I was once for Sarah Palin. Honestly, I’m embarrassed.” (more…)

Hired by election and fully supported by her community, county clerk Kim Davis is handcuffed and jailed by a U.S. Marshall and federal judge.  Note that Davis is afforded no religious accommodation by the same federal government which mandates -by law- religious accommodation within the private sector for all employees.
And the social justice warrior crowd is gleeful…..

(Via Washington Examiner) In a bow to the huge U.S. Hispanic population and the Catholic Church’s advocacy of immigration, Pope Francis plans to give his Washington mass Sept. 23 in Spanish, according to Cardinal Donald William Wuerl.
“The mass is going to be in Spanish,” Wuerl said Wednesday while previewing the pope’s trip to reporters.
“It’s a recognition of how large the Hispanic population in the United States is,” said Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington. “And he’s coming as the first pope from the New World and the predominant language in this hemisphere is Spanish,” added Wuerl of the Argentine-born pope. (more…)

The GOPe Road Map is contingent upon all 10 candidates that are part of Team Jeb remaining in the race until various points within the primary.   Nine of the candidates are party insiders recruited to act as early primary state splitters (Gilmore -VA, Pataki -NY, Graham -SC, Perry -TX, Kasich -OH, Rubio -FL, Huckabee -AR, Fiorina and Christie).

This allows the Road Map to succeed with 15 to 20% support for Jeb – depending on primary state location.  However, when the plan was constructed it’s obvious they never anticipated a Donald Trump candidacy.
The original plan was created to defeat Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Scott Walker (Donald Trump was never factored into the strategy).  Current polling shows their strategy would be factually successful were it not for Donald Trump. (more…)

Remarkable and uplifting story of how a 13-year-old boy scout helped his Father survive three days in the wilderness and hiked out to get help.
Weighing in at 90lbs and carrying a 40lb backpack, 13-year-old Charlie Finlayson not only had the presence of mind to stabilize his seriously injured dad – he also knew exactly how to survive.

IDAHO – […]  The 52-year-old mountaineer and his son were camped at Ship Island Lake in the Bighorn Crags of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness northwest of Challis. On Aug. 17, the two were scouting a climbing route when a boulder rolled off the mountainside. They hadn’t started climbing and don’t know what dislodged the big rock.

“Dumb luck. It didn’t come off too far above me, so it wasn’t rolling too fast,” Finlayson said.

But the refrigerator-size boulder knocked him off the ledge, and he tumbled 20 to 30 feet down the mountain. (more…)
