Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
Sounds about right considering Walkers’ insider pedigree. Scott Walker was single most disappointing candidate in the past decade. He won his elections, and was defended against all recall efforts, with the Tea Party on point. However, he reversed his alignment and became BIG GOPe after his re-election bid. Walker is very close pals with Paul Ryan and Reince Preibus now.
WISCONSIN – If the Republican Party finds itself with an open convention in July, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker believes the nominee may not be Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or John Kasich.
“I think if it’s an open convention, it’s very likely it would be someone who’s not currently running,” Walker told reporters Thursday. “I mean, who knows. The one thing I qualify — it’s like the qualifications you see on those ads you see for car dealerships. I think any of us who comment on this election have to qualify that almost every prediction’s been off, so it’s hard to predict anything.” (more…)
Oh dear, the National Enquirer has come out with a story claiming evidence of multiple sexual trysts by presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz.
Worse yet for the Cruz camp, the framework within the article is structurally very concerning:
The National Enquirer is indeed a tabloid – and as such there are various grains of salt that should be applied when reviewing anything they present.
However, that said, they have been unfortunately accurate for more than a few presidential hopefuls: Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson and John Edwards to name a few of the more infamous examples.
Don’t WAIT – Monday March 28th is the deadline for eligible Pennsylvania residents to change their political party affiliation or register to vote in the primary election April 26.
Pennsylvania has a closed primary, meaning voters must register as a Democrat or Republican to cast a vote in the presidential primary contest, an election that typically increases voter turnout. If you are an independent in Pennsylvania, and you wish to vote in the republican presidential primary, you must change your party affiliation BEFORE MONDAY.
Independents and other non-partisan registered voters will only be able to vote for or against two proposed amendments to the state constitution. One amendment seeks to extend the mandatory retirement age for judges from 70 to 75; the other would abolish the Philadelphia Traffic Court. (more…)
In the wake of the terror attacks in Brussels, U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump talks to Piers Morgan for Good Morning Britain. The subject of the Brussels terrorist attacks was a key element to the discussion topic. The interview is below in two segments:
Part I
At the end of the liturgy on Holy Thursday evening, in every Catholic Church around the world, the Blessed Sacrament is removed to the altar of repose, the altar is stripped, the church is bare, empty. Tomb-like. It is a striking and heartbreaking tradition, and I make sure to attend each year, to allow my heart to break, my tears to fall, my spirit to be clouded in gloom and dread, preparing for Good Friday, and Christ’s passion.
My purpose in sharing this video is to encourage those of you who let Easter sneak up on you, without much thought beforehand, to find your own ways to open your heart and experience the pain of Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Perhaps dedicate an hour to prayer and scripture. Go to a church and wait with Jesus during the hours of 12 to 3. Give alms. Go to a Good Friday service. Fast. Cut off the phones, televisions, computers.
Observing these two solemn days of the Christian calendar will make your Easter more meaningful, and enrich your faith.
Please feel free to share your church and family’s way of observing the coming of our Lord’s Passion and Death.

Look at this picture carefully.
It’s actually a cropped screen-grab from a republican political ad that first ran in December 2013 when no-one was paying attention to 2016 presidential politics.
Throughout the early spring of 2014 the party ad popped up on various conservative sites and was widely distributed when few were paying attention.
We copied and saved the image, along with a host of other images and research data links, because that picture’s appearance coincided with our initial research into the GOPe roadmap to nominate Jeb Bush.
It was from these initial discoveries, and quietly tracking the various leadership members within the professional republican party and GOPe apparatus in Washington DC, that eventually led us to share the outline of the nomination path they were constructing. Eventually, that became The GOPe Roadmap. (more…)
