Columbine Archbishop Charles Chaput Still Speaks the NRA/GOP Party Line on Guns and Violence





I may consider myself as a Progressive but people like Charlie Chaput, current seat holder, seat warmer, at the Cathedral over in Logan Circle but I am not a "godless progressive" as so many of Charlie's supporting crowd would label me. I care more about people than gun sales. 

Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Denver, including Columbine Colorado, at the time of that massacre of innocent American life in 1999, is still in his "moral" comfort zone stating with such Trump like PRIDE and total lack of Christian empathy that: 

"only a fool can believe that 'gun control' will solve the problem of mass violence"

The so-called "moral agents with twisted hearts" as Charlie polly parrots to gun supporters of gun violence are meal ticket for life religious parasites like Charlie Chaput. 

My sympathies to the Catholics in Philly stuck with this moral numbnut.

May the terrorist victims in El Paso and Dayton try to rest in peace.

Whitewashed Sepulchres - Mike Pence and Donald Trump on Empty Condolences of El Paso and Dayton Mass Murders Fueled by White House Racist Hate





"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! 

For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness (corruption)."


~~ Matthew 23:27 (New American Standard translation 1977)

Ciudadanos mexicanos asesinados en ataque terrorista de odio en El Paso -- Mexican Citizens Slaughtered in El Paso Hate Terror Attack




I see on CNN that the Mexican Government has identified the names of six Mexican nationals murdered in Walmart in El Paso by a domestic terrorist. When I lived in Tucson AZ we were aware how strong a part of the local economy the day trippers from Mexico were at Costco and Sam's Club buying mostly bulk items that would be used in restaurants and factories on the other side of the southern border. American goods were cheaper and more readily available to this foreign entrepreneurs. I have to wonder how Trump's and the GOP's wall of hate will keep Mexican capital out of these border cities now for fear for their lives while evil old white men circle jerk around about how awful all non-white people are to our glorious decaying infrastructure of America. How soon before the layoffs in El Paso and Tuscon and San Diego to the minimum wage jobs at stores like Warmart and Costco and the other businesses that feed their families on Mexican Pesos that will no longer be so willingly traded in MAGA AFU America?
Que nuestros hermanos y hermanas mexicanos muertos en El Paso intenten descansar en paz y perdonarnos también si pueden un poco de nuestro odio.

Homocide, Mass Murder, Terrorism, Genocide ? by Twitter ? in El Paso Texas


Time Magazine


I had occasion at my job in investment banking setting up trust accounts etc, to see death certificates of victims of the mass act of terrorism at the World Trade Center on 911. 

The New York City standardized death certificate has about 40 boxes to check off to aid in data complying in the Big Apple. The death certs of 911 only two boxes checked as cause of death:   -

X- "Homocide"  and   -X- "At Work".

Cause of death mass shooting in Walmart in El Paso Texas, largest mass shooting of Hispanics in American History to date:

Concentration Camps Are a Good Thing - Episode Five - HBO - Years and Years - "Erstwhile"






Years and Years: Season 1, Episode 5 – Recap, Review (with Spoilers)




Fast forward to episode five, where Prime Minister Viv Rooks (Emma Thompson the actress) has a dozen oligarchs or corporations make bids on the five "Alternatives" ("Erstwhiles") - to privatize them, black hole sites of secret concentration camps for refugees and the homeless in a Brexit Britain that cannot deal with asylum seekers or the poor and homeless of Britain. These dozen of so business men at "Checkers" the Prime Minister's weekend home, get a brief lecture from PM Viv about how ugly the word "camp" is or concentrating things like people in them. She then lectures the businessmen who only want the land under them and surrounding these camps for profit and development, she lectures them on how when the British invented concentration camps in the second Boer War, then General Kitchner allowed no aid to the inhabitants in these camps. Natural selection takes over in the form of starvation, disease, crime and exposure to the elements and the camps will maintain the balance, same numbers if maintained this way as a clue as to how best profit from buying these sites from His Majesty's Government. One could almost imagine one being in present as a fly on the current White House walls as Steven Miller lectures Donald Trump on natural selection running our own concentrations camps on and near our southern borders. Etc. Just some lite HBO summer entertainment. Yeah right.

Protecting the Betsy Ross Brand - 2019





The Donald and his crowd are trying to protect the 19th Century Centennial Meme Brand of Betsy Ross who may or may not have sewn a "first" American flag in the middle of the chaos of Philadelphia in the Revolutionary War years, where British Crown inbred military mismanagement along with a little help or push from the froggy French, that gave, by default Independence  to thirteen ragtag back water colonies on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. 

That as colonies, the stamp tax btw in a decade would have put together a data base or defacto American Doomsday Book for George III to raise our taxes through the roof to match our real wealth of lumber, fish, wheat, coal etc, hidden behind homespun clothing and feigned humble Puritan and Quaker social masks.  That real great wealth that in the end made possible and in fact paid for an American Revolution against the superpower of Britain btw.

As a child to me and others, the Betsy Ross House in the waterfront slums of Philly was a school bus stop, trip to run up and down a house of two fused together Trinity style houses with winding staircases in the corners of the room. That the usual PC painting of Betsy Ross shows Washington and his entourage of sycophant toadies in a room bigger than her alleged real house on Arch street. It was an in and out 45 minute school trip topped off with buying 10 cent flag pencils and 50 cent Declarations of Independence printed on parchment paper. Next stop Independence Hall to touch the Liberty Bell.

Back to Betsy Griscom Ross Ashburn Claypoole, who outlived or wore out three husbands, who ran an upholstery shop. She was into stuffed chairs and the occasional flag contract for the "Pennsylvania Navy". But she was white in terms of forming the meme and a 1876 Centennial tourist trap her grandson invented as "her" house on Arch Street. This it became starting in the Centennial Year and forward. And she was a WASP by injection, her first marriage to Mr. Ross, COE, being cause to having her expelled from her local Quaker congregation and connections etc. 

So I doubt that as a single mother on her own a lot of her life and running an upholstery business to survive, she was too poor and too Quaker in roots to have owned any slaves, and this is what this moron PC junkie and warrior Kaepernick and Nike are doing to her myth and her so called meme flag in the last week. 

Happy America's Birthday btw.

Remember when Trump Fakerism started with Obama Birtherism (Racism)


Birther Fraud Lady – Who is this undocumented Person?





Well I see this thing on MSNBC. MSNBC shows the one reeler and passes it off as journalism without the who, what, where, when, why of the old classic journalism.

Joe the Plumber’s Mom gets up at a town hall meeting of Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware and waives her invalid hospital issued birth certificate and then begins to rant about how Barack Obama is not a citizen of the USA but rather Kenya – (the GOP and the new racism).


MSNBC shows this amusing little tidbit and is starting to practice third rate journalism on the way to the fourth and fifth levels of Murdockian half truths and lies like on Fox News and the fat drug addict on radio.





I too was undocumented some few years back when I tried to exchange my Pennsylvania license for a New York State license having moving back here. In order to register my car, I needed a valid driver’s license. In order to have a valid driver’s license I needed a state issued, embossed with a raised seal, birth certificate.

I have had a New York State driver’s license on and off for thirty years depending on when I was a resident there. My old driver’s license and its same driver license number for thirty years could not be reissued without a valid state issued birth certificate to prove my place and date of birth and my citizenship.

My hospital issued birth certificate was now considered invalid. It had been valid forty years ago to get my original passport. But then and there and with all the bullshit Homeland Security rules and regulations – I was undocumented in my native land - temporarily a man without a country.

I had let my passport lapse for too many years. It was no longer valid as ID or proof of American citizenship. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and a deadline to register my car before I would break the law on that count for not having a valid car registration.

Finally and reluctantly I went on line and ordered a Pennsylvania issued certificate to save some time. It still took a couple of weeks to get it. LOL

So when I see Joe the Plumber’s Mom on You Tube shouting about the undocumented state of Obama’s black butt, I know that this broad has never left this country or the house she has lived in for decades. One day she will try to get a passport or move in with the kids across the stateline and not be able to transfer her driver’s license – BECAUSE she is an undocumented person, with a phony hospital issued birth certificate, living in our great and safe and no longer totally free land.

While we are at - have any of you “Birthers” seen Jesus’s birth certificate lately?

Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Convent and School - 836 N. Broad Street





1938


Ran into the closing article of the closing of the oldest RC Afro-American Parish in Philly at 12th and Lombard.

Saint Peter Claver Church

Saying Goodbye to Philadelphia's first black Catholic church

Which got me onto an old mental data bank search on my memory to identify a RC Catholic school where I tutored some students in the late 1960s.

This is one of those memory things I have been meaning to research for some time. Problem was the starting point and a bunch of strung together bits and pieces of memory. Of memories from high school and a semester of going to some poor parish in North Philly to tutor a child for an hour or so on a Thursday with his reading.

The bits and pieces have to do with driving with a bunch of fellow high school students under the label of "community service corp" who got convinced into volunteering for the tutoring task in an afternoon Chemistry lecture with Father Reese. Father Reese was also the driver of the one school bus used for the sports teams and going to their events etc. And my Chemistry grades sucked, so I thought it prudent to volunteer for the Chemistry professor's last minute plea to show up at two schools in North Philly for the tutoring programs there.

Freshman Chemistry btw was lab, first period Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays and in the winter the windows were wide open same as the rest of the year to no doubt vent the gases that might build up in a laboratory. And Tuesday and Thursday fifth period after lunch in the Chemistry lecture hall where two freshman Chemistry classes shared one teacher and lecture.

The thing is this, about twenty students packed into this rickety red school bus, the school color, and I remember that it got bought with green stamps in a high school wide drive my older brother got involved with as a student in the same high school. Never been on a school bus and did not realize how shaky and noisy one of these things were along with their tight little seats.

The first ten students got dropped off somewhere along the way, which I do not remember in terms of geography or architecture. The longer ride down Broad Street was a mystery ride to me. Along the way, some kid mentioned that those buildings were Temple University and soon afterward we were in a dark alley of a street one block over west of Broad. Then into some very basic building, the smell of pine oil hitting my nostrils as we entered. It the smell of pine oil that was one of all institutions or schools and was a normal smell to me in such places.

Never saw the front of the school and the thing is that this was a poor parish. One could tell. The school over a basement had four classrooms on two floors above that basement and in retrospect I cannot remember any windows. Light was from florescent lighting above. The four classrooms taught grades 1-8 or maybe 1-6. Which meant that at the very least, two grades shared a classroom which meant a lot of down time for half the class in reading or writing assignments as the other half learned at their level.  Like the old fashioned one room school houses in rural America and colonial America etc.

I had not been able to document my experience back then. In my mind, I thought the school was "Saint James". But in retrospect I think I was talking or assigned to my tasks in the school by a Sister Saint James and or Sister James, an Afro-American nun in her late twenties and or early thirties. That after a semester of tutoring on Thursday afternoon, Sister James I will call her, announced that the school was closing. To which I optimistically asked if they were moving into a new school. To which she said no. The school was closing. I was not too up on social issues. One of the articles on the closing of St. Peter Claver Parish mentions that black Catholic Churches suffered in the wake of the Civil Rights movement, no doubt implying that Black Catholics no longer needed to be segregated per say, whatever.

My memory thing conflicted with the fact that "Sister James" was black. That I knew that the order of nuns Mother Katherine Drexel founded to teach the Native "Indian" and "Colored" population had no, and accepted no applicants from those demographic communities in its early days. This was another factor in trying to piece together where exactly did I tutor in 1967.

I recently finally found an article in the online version (new?) of the Catholic Standard and Times regarding the dedication date of the Annex built for Northeast Catholic High for boys in the 1960s. I still went, with search words like north broad street or black school etc and could find no hits on that site, its existence and sadly no mention of its closing in June 1967.

But after the use of maps and using the Philly History photos of the recycled church at 712 N. Broad Street, first Presbyterian from 1878, Roman Catholic from 1910-1972 and lately Baptist, that the RC church of Our Lady of Blessed Sacrament sent me searching for a school which through the process was four rooms tacked onto the back of an old brownstone mansion (convent) and side yard (school yard?) of the Mission Convent of Mother Drexel's Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament pictured above from a side angle.

Teachings of Jesus and Christianity Under Attack on Trump's Border - Arizona - Scott Daniel Warren - "you gave me shelter when I needed it"


Scott Daniel Warren



Good Samaritan In Tucson Attacked by Federal Government


By Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — A U.S. jury could not reach a verdict Tuesday against a border activist charged with conspiracy to transport and harbor migrants in a trial that humanitarian aid groups said would have wide implications on their work.
Defense attorneys argued that Scott Daniel Warren, a 36-year-old college geography instructor, was simply being kind by providing two migrants with water, food and lodging when he was arrested in early 2018. He faced up to 20 years in prison.
But prosecutors maintained the men were not in distress and Warren conspired to transport and harbor them at a property used for providing aid to migrants in an Arizona town near the U.S.-Mexico border.
The case played out as humanitarian groups say they are coming under increasing scrutiny under President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies.
