My First Podcast
Well I spent a lot of time this morning making my first podcast of my book. My first pass, I thought I was recording with my good microphone and then realized I had recorded the whole installment with the computer mice because it was unplugged! Well, I rerecorded it and felt much better. I am doing this live and only making minor edits as I go. I want it to have the real sense that I am speaking to my listeners.
I hope you enjoy it! Please us the link below to listen.

What are these things?
What are these things?
Yellow and white
They make light glimmer
Bring out the bright
Of what is in sight
There are metals
Of all sorts
But in comparison
To this group
It is no sport
Others don’t have that shine
Others can’t bring the time
That makes the good
Sweet as the finest Wine
A special night
A gift at dinner
A pearl wrapped
In any will be a winner
A painting
Of the finest sort
Is that much greater
When it’s framed
In the precious drawn from ore
Glory of God
The world wants to extol
It’s got to be Silver
Platinum or Gold
From the ancient world
To modern times
These illustrious metals
Bring out the rhymes
The precious coins of
Rome, Egypt and Greece
Empires of Spain
And Great Britain
Not the least
Tell the stories of Love and War
Sometimes peace
All wrapped up in the Golden Fleece
The rapper wears
A rather large one
Round his neck
A sister prays a golden rosary
At a sick man’s
Death bed
Many more uses
You can see
But the most precious
That shines like the sun
Eternally done
Is the one that makes
You and me, we
The precious metal
Pulled, Shaped
And twisting
Going round a finger
Always existing
But the tragedy lies
In that Humans
Do not see
The greatest Gift of all
Is actually free
Love is the thing
We should all be expounding
If we all share the gold
The world would be astounding
As happiness would reign from shore to shore
The precious metals
Hence be a symbol of Love
Like a rose petal
A seed of friendship forevermore

The Book is Finally out
Dear Friends,
I know I have been missing in action. I apologize for that but hopefully, I can now progress to blogging once again. Most importantly the book I was writing is completed. Below is the cover. If you click on it you can read more about it on Amazon.
The Democrats Abandon Catholics
The Democrats Abandon Catholics
If you value religious education or life’s sanctity, you’re not welcome in the party.
By Cardinal Timothy Dolan
Last Saturday’s feast of St. Patrick, the patron saint of our cathedral and archdiocese, reminded me of Archbishop John Hughes. As the first archbishop of New York (1842-64), “Dagger John” displayed dramatic reverence for the dignity of Irish immigrants. Thousands arrived daily in New York—penniless, starving and sometimes ill—only to be met with hostility, bigotry and injustice.
An immigrant himself, Hughes prophetically and vigorously defended their dignity. Because the schools at the time were hostile to these immigrants, he initiated Catholic schools to provide children with a good education sensitive to their religion and to prepare them as responsible, patriotic citizens. The schools worked. Many remain open to this day, their mission unchanged.
The second event was the recent funeral of a great African-American woman, Dolores Grier. A convert to Catholicism, she was named vice chancellor of the archdiocese three decades ago by Cardinal John O’Connor; she was the first layperson and first woman to hold the prestigious position. Grier was passionate about civil rights, especially the right to life of babies in the womb. She never missed an opportunity to defend, lovingly but forcefully, their right to life.
The values Archbishop Hughes and Dolores Grier cherished—the dignity and sanctity of human life, the importance of Catholic schools, the defense of a baby’s civil rights—were, and still are, widely embraced by Catholics. This often led Catholics to become loyal Democrats. I remember my own grandmother whispering to me, “We Catholics don’t trust those Republicans.”
Such is no longer the case, a cause of sadness to many Catholics, me included. The two causes so vigorously promoted by Hughes and Grier—the needs of poor and middle-class children in Catholic schools, and the right to life of the baby in the womb—largely have been rejected by the party of our youth. An esteemed pro-life Democrat in Illinois, Rep. Dan Lipinski, effectively was blacklisted by his own party. Last year, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez insisted that pro-life candidates have no place in the modern Democratic Party.
It is particularly chilly for us here in the state Hughes and Grier proudly called their earthly home. In recent years, some Democrats in the New York state Assembly repeatedly blocked education tax credit legislation, which would have helped middle-class and low-income families make the choice to select Catholic or other nonpublic schools for their children. Opposing the bill reduces the ability of fine Catholic schools across the state to continue their mission of serving the poor, many of them immigrants.
More sobering, what is already the most radical abortion license in the country may soon be even more morbidly expanded. For instance, under the proposed Reproductive Health Act, doctors would not be required to care for a baby who survives an abortion. The newborn simply would be allowed to die without any legal implications. And abortions would be legal up to the moment of birth.
The “big tent” of the Democratic Party now seems a pup tent. Annafi Wahed, a former staffer to Hillary Clinton, recently wrote in this newspaper about her experience attending the Conservative Political Action Conference. She complimented the conservative attendees, pointing out that most made her feel welcome at their meeting. They listened attentively to her views—a courtesy, she had to admit, that would not be given to them at a meeting of political liberals.
I’m a pastor, not a politician, and I’ve certainly had spats and disappointments with politicians from both of America’s leading parties. But it saddens me, and weakens the democracy millions of Americans cherish, when the party that once embraced Catholics now slams the door on us.
To Archbishop Hughes, Dolores Grier, and Grandma Dolan, I’m sorry to have to write this. But not as sad as you are to know it is true.
Cardinal Dolan is archbishop of New York.

Rocket Man -The Song
(Sung to Elton John’s Rocket Man)
We packed the missiles tonight
Zero hour nine AM
And I’m gonna be out of my mind by then
I miss my bro’ I crushed his life
It’s lonely in this place
I’m such a timeless plight
And I think it’s gonna be a short short time
‘Till my intel brings me round again to find
I’m not the man that will hold the phone
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man waiting to light the fuse and burn your homes
Pyongyang ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, my hearts cold as hell
And cross me once, I’ll execute them all anyway if you did
And all this nonsense I don’t understand
It’s just my job seven days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it’s gonna be a short short time
‘Till my intel brings me round again to find
I’m not the man that will hold the phone
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man waiting to light the fuse and burn your homes
And I think it’s gonna be a short short time
And I think it’s gonna be a short short time
And I think it’s gonna be a short short time
And I think it’s gonna be a short short time
The Rocket Man
The Rocket Man
There is a place called North Korea
That likes to make people fear
But Donald the man,
put on the slam
Without shedding a tear
Soneto de la Noche
I came across this poem set to music and it made me cry. It is so beautiful. The way the poet expresses his love on the thoughts of his passing to his wife moves the heart. The 
way it is set to choral music by Morten Lauridsen just moves me to tears. It is an incredible and beautiful work of art. I suggest you find it and listen while you read the lyrics.
The title below links to YouTube. The English translation is below the original.
Cuando yo muera quiero tus manos en mis ojos:
quiero la luz y el trigo de tus manos amadas
pasar una vez más sobre mí su frescura:
sentir la suavidad que cambió mi destino.
Quiero que vivas mientras yo, dormido, te espero,
quiero que tus oídos sigan oyendo el viento,
que huelas el aroma del mar que amamos juntos
y que sigas pisando la arena que pisamos.
Quiero que lo que amo siga vivo
y a ti te amé y canté sobre todas las cosas,
por eso sigue tú floreciendo, florida,
para que alcances todo lo que mi amor te ordena,
para que se pasee mi sombra por tu pelo,
para que así conozcan la razón de mi canto.
When I die I want your hands on my eyes:
I want the light and the wheat of your beloved hands
to pass their freshness over me one more time
to feel the smoothness that changed my destiny.
I want you to live while I wait for you, asleep,
I want for your ears to go on hearing the wind,
for you to smell the sea that we loved together
and for you to go on walking the sand where we walked.
I want for what I love to go on living
and as for you I loved you and sang you above everything,
for that, go on flowering, flowery one,
so that you reach all that my love orders for you,
so that my shadow passes through your hair,
so that they know by this the reason for my song.
Translation by Nicholas Lauridsen
One Issue Voter
Recently a friend of mine who I consider to be intelligent, though he is quite closed-minded and marches to the party drum, said to me “you can’t be a one policy voter”. He, of course, must be ignorant of what abortion actually is and has not looked into all the facts. Why is this? Because people, in general, are always so quick to go along with what the majority who agrees with their own mindset think. Even to the point of participating in heinous crimes.
Automatically people will reject this notion. But history proves it out again and again. All for what is some sort of economic reform that will benefit the masses they murder people in the tens of millions. Just look at the deaths of the millions in Nazi Germany where 20 million people predominately Jewish followed by practicing Catholics, Protestants, other minorities were terminated. Or look to the Soviet Union where under Stalin over 20 million were murdered. In China, under Mao Zedong, over 40 million were exterminated because they did not tow the party line. How did they achieve this?
The achieving it was simple. All the leaders had to do was to get everyone to believe something that is not true. Sadly, if you repeat a lie long and loud enough many undiscerning people accept it as truth. The goal is to make the soldier or citizen believe they are not killing a human being who has the same rights as they do. But to make them believe they are killing something else. Some type of vermin. The Jews were targeted as an inferior race and something other than human beings. The Nazis called the Jews “rats”.
Now Stalin called them traitors. No trial was set to see if this were true. No just reasoning imposed to protect the masses. The Soviet Government were the only ones who determined who were Human beings with the right to live. There were no just laws that the west and formerly Russia inherited from Christian moral teachings. All moral norms were thrown out and murders became a normal day to day event justified as the execution of traitors.
Mao Zedong set himself apart and considered himself as a prophet of sorts. Any who did not follow his lead were “enemies of the people”. It was easy to convince the populist that anyone who opposed his teaching was out to hurt the “people”. Without any justice, a cleansing of the society for the good of only a certain group of people was justified. I don’t know about you but if a regime kills 40 million of its own people I would say they are the enemy of the people.
But Evil does not change but constantly plays the same ploy all over the world. In 1994 Rwanda experience a racial genocide not unlike that of the Jews but it was quicker and more vicious. The Hutus blamed the competing peoples of their land the Tutsis for the murder of their leaders. Without trial or proof of any kind, they waged an organized genocide killing 800,000 Tutsi people in four short months. The propaganda encouraging the murder of the innocents was simply prosecuted by calling them something other than humans, they called them “cockroaches”.
Lies no matter how small are evil. But some lies are worse than others. The most heinous and the one swallowed by the globalist because they want to laud their power over all peoples is the denial of human rights. The denial of human rights comes in many stages but the cruelest of all is the destruction of innocent life. But our global society is doing just that. Even worse, the targeted groups are the weakest among us, the minorities, poor and ignorant.
Under the guise of social justice, which is a lie, abortion has been termed a reproductive right. The term itself is a lie because abortion is only about ending human reproduction. The Illuminati like it because it is one way to reduce the poverty problem. Just kill the children before they are born is their solution.
The primary lie told by those that promote abortion is that the child inside the womb is nothing but a clump of cells. Sadly, people are ready to believe whatever they are told when it lets them off from their responsibility to care for a human life, if they deem themselves unprepared. There is even a professor who believes that a parent should be allowed to kill a born infant. I like his position. Why do I like his position? At the least, he is honest. He knows there is no difference between killing the child in the womb or out of the womb. In either case, you are killing a human being.
Some people argue about when life begins. Well, it’s obvious it begins when a sperm and embryo form a unique DNA at conception. But others will say that it is not human yet. Of course, this is ridiculous. If I plant a seed for corn, yes it is not fully corn yet, but it is corn nonetheless. The seed meets water in a fertile environment corn begins to grow. That is corn. Hence the same is true with a human. The baby begins at conception. But just like corn may fail so too may a human fail after conception. That does not take away that it was human. Just like the corn we should do everything within possibility to ensure its growth. We want a good crop of corn just like we want the birth of human babies.
Abortion is argued as a woman’s right because the baby resides in her body. The truth of the matter is the responsibility falls on both male and female that engaged in the sexual act to own up to their responsibility to bring this life into the world. Sadly, it has become the contraception of last resort, and babies are killed because of irresponsible sexual encounters.
One of the consequences of the abortion rights is the enabling of human trafficking and forced prostitution. The abortion industry allows women to be treated as cattle. Once pregnant their offspring are easily disposed of under the norms enabling cruel traffickers and pimps to maintain control of women.
I have to get back to my real point. Babies are being allowed to be murdered when they are called a fetus. They are even being allowed to be aborted when they are called babies under late term abortion. Simply because if we can’t see the horror, we are led to believe it is not horrible.
Planned Parenthood and Mary Stokes take public money for the slaughter of innocents. They sell the body parts of late-term infants for big money. This is a horror that less than 100 years ago would have shocked and scared any sane human being. But the lie that is it’s not human life has become widespread. I challenge all believers in abortion rights to watch videos of the procedure at every stage.
This is like the murder of innocents in the revolutions and wars. Until the truth comes out people will just go along with the propaganda. If we continue down this path, governments will be the arbiters of Human Life. They will do away with the primary and most important point that an individual’s rights outweigh the rights of the masses.
Mobs are easily formed whipped up into chaos and criminality as history attests. An individual’s right to life should be protected at all stages and governments should not legalize the intentional destruction of human life. Because when murder is legalized there is no end to the destruction of life and liberty of the individual in the name of the so-called “leaders of the people”.
My final statement, I could write a book about this topic, is simple. I cannot and will not ever vote for a politician that is pro-abortion. Pro-abortion is the first step to the end of the individual’s rights and liberty. Because there is nothing more precious in this world than a human life and when human life is reduced to a commodity as many of our society’s leaders so wish to do then we all become easily expendable without due process.
This is the reason I am a one issue voter. I can be swayed on positions of economic or political systems but not on the issue of the right to life.
Addendum: The media and powers don’t want this known. Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election because of the pro-life vote.
