Welp, there’s no doubt whose baby television this is. I’m enamored of the lilac.

Live what you believe. Down to your baby television case. Perhaps… most especially? 😉

Now that we have the ladies on-side and on-the-march, here is a piece by a reader that I thoroughly recommend on dressing well:

Counter-Revolt HARDER… Why Dressing Like a Real Man is Easier (and Way Cooler) than You Realize

One distinction I would like to make: when I envision gentlemen being well-dressed again, I am NOT talking about the gay-dandy look with bright, feminine colors, and especially NOT ridiculously cut trousers, pencil thin with inseams five inches too high. I’m talking about masculine suits – waistcoat, high waist trousers, full-cut leg, inseam that breaks and rests atop the top of the shoe, and the only possible bright color being the tie and/or pocket square. Perhaps a VERY subtle pin striped or checked fabric. Masculine.

This post has been a long time coming, and I have zero excuse for the delay.

I was alerted to the existence of an amazing company in October ARSH 2019 that makes semi-custom dresses – semi-bespoke is really the word – for very little money, and with excellent quality and labor practices. The company is out of India and is called eShakti.com , and many of you ladies might already be aware of them through weddings, etc.

I cannot say enough about this company. You set up a profile and enter over two dozen sartorial measurements. Their computers then form a custom pattern for you – semi-bespoke – and then you choose from their 1000+ dress patterns. But wait. It gets better. Every dress on their website can be modified. Usually 8+ necklines, 8+ sleeve lengths, and 8+ hem lengths. And you can SEE on the “virtual model” what each modification looks like. As of a month or so ago, they have now added a feature whereby if you find a dress pattern that really works for you, you can choose the fabric from their entire selection of the same fabric type.

This is the benefit of being totally “on demand”, driven by a database. The computers tell the fabric mill what to cut, and the machines how to cut and stitch it. It’s an absolutely brilliant business model, and has totally changed my sartorial life. Buying clothes used to be almost impossible- IMMODEST, too short, bad fit, ugly, etc. But now, I open my closet and it’s a genuine pleasure to pick which dress I’m wearing today.

After the War, something like this MUST be started in North America.

I get stopped and complimented every single day. Every day, and I live in a pretty “fashionable” place, or at least where there are “fashion people” slithering around. 🤢 And I’m low-key setting the tone. Folks, the counter-Revolution has to begin somewhere. Brushfires of… fashion? Why not?

So here is a photo essay of me today. My huge project this summer is wearing white wrist gloves – as all ladies did until ARSH 1965 or so.

The more I see fat, naked slobs walking around and rolling into shops and restaurants in slovenly garments that I literally would not sleep in, the harder I COUNTER-REVOLT. Hence the white summer gloves.

Ann, today, a Tuesday in June:

Navy blue with white polka-dot zip-front, ruched-waist, cap sleeve, mid-calf full skirted dress. I optioned for the neckline to be 2″ higher. This dress cost me $55, including the $10 semi-bespoke customization fee. I’m not kidding.

I have red espadrilles, which are very sharp with the blue, but today I’m wearing white.

Matching blue and white straw hat with wide brim. I bought this hat eight years ago for $15.

Finally, yes, white viscose gloves. Cheap ($15 per pair), and they can be washed frequently. I bought three pair right away so I can always have a clean pair. I actually recommend viscose and not cotton for the ease of care. Glove etiquette says a lady shakes hands WITH, but ALWAYS removes to eat or drink. Keep gloves on in church except to get Holy Water at the stoop upon entering and exiting. I do have to remove at least my right glove by necessity when using DivinumOfficium.com as my missal/breviary in order to use the touchscreen. I had to look glove etiquette up, because I had no idea, given my age. I was born in ’76 and thus missed the glove culture.

Folks, I dress like this EVERY DAY.

How ironic. All these girls walking around almost nekkid, or in uber-expensive designer trash (but I repeat myself), and it’s the 45-year old slightly-squishy woman rocking it like it’s ARSH 1951 in a $55 dress that everyone notices. Gentlemen chastely and respectfully appreciate, ladies appreciate and inquire. Children smile and stare. And I smile back. Occasionally I wink. 😉

The ultimate counter-revolt is being yourself, that is, being who God made you according to your true state in life, including dignity, and beauty. God did not make you a gutter slag or a fat pajama-wearing slob. Dressing with dignity and beauty (in both the feminine and masculine senses) is a sign of SELF-respect, and more importantly a sign of fundamental respect FOR OTHERS, including total strangers (Second Joyful Mystery of the Rosary – the Visitation; Fruit of the Mystery: Love of Neighbor, Fraternal Charity).

Even though I am nearly alone for now in my aesthetic, remember, beauty and fraternal charity are OBJECTIVE STANDARDS, and therefore I am the normal one, and the rest of society, naked or in pajamas, no matter their relative numbers… they are objectively ABNORMAL. They are not intrinsically inferior-quite the opposite is the entire point! Let us help our fellow men and women reclaim NORMALCY and their own inherent dignity by our good example, and by always radiating the joy that comes with the frequenting of the Sacraments.

I would point out that the priestly cassock is just about the sharpest masculine form of dress, and that real nuns literally wear wedding dresses and wedding veils every day of their lives. Why should we seculars not emulate this standard? Ugliness is NOT humility. Quite the opposite. Humility is knowing and acknowledging both what you are not (!!), but also what you ARE. Acknowledge your dignity as a rational intellect created in the image and likeness of God, and redeemed by His Most Precious Blood. Respect yourself and respect others. Get dressed. And I mean DRESSED. Every single day.

UPDATE: How could I have neglected to mention the impetus for married ladies to dress well… your husbands!!! Make them proud. Never take them for granted. Including around the house. Sweatpants have caused more divorces and male online self-abuse situations than any of us can imagine. Get up and get dressed, wives. You don’t have to be perfect – it’s the EFFORT. The charity is in the EFFORT.

I hope this helps.

Tucker Carlson and Johns Hopkins’ Dr. @MartyMakary discuss fetal pain during abortion:

“Somewhere between 15 and 20 weeks babies will actually resist the instruments of abortion.” pic.twitter.com/jWBYBB6CZQ

— Scott Morefield (@SKMorefield) June 25, 2022

I have a few problems with this clip that recently aired on “Tucker Carlson Tonight”.

First, the suggestion that a fetus feels pain from 15-20 weeks is demonstrably false. In 1984, former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson, then a pro-life convert, sought to show the world the brutality of abortion by airing actual video footage of a 12-week, ultrasound-guided abortion. In the video (which can be viewed here), the unborn child is clearly seen opening its mouth to scream, and recoiling from the abortionist’s instruments. My graduate school training in anesthesia taught that pain pathways as well as EEG brain waves were present in children as early as 9 weeks’ gestation, and probably sooner. So I take issue with the physician on Carlson’s show – his technical info isn’t exactly accurate.

And second: what is the point of this interview? Is the point to assert that murder is okay as long as it’s painless for the victim? Because if that’s the argument being made here, then I assure you the pro-aborts will push back with early-term “pain free” abortions using things like RU486, otherwise known as the abortion pill. And there are already abortionists out there touting their digoxin abortion methods, which involve injecting an unborn child with high-dose digoxin to stop the heart. The baby dies before the dismembering begins. These are sold to mothers as “painless”.

Out of charity, I will assume Tucker is airing this interview to offer some perspective on the brutality of abortion and the humanity of the unborn, who have been so thoroughly dehumanized for the last several decades. Most militant pro-abortionists do not care about the pain felt by unborn children. But, I do think there is a younger generation out there who truly are so intellectually lazy that they haven’t realized exactly what an abortion entails. Or they think of the fetus as some magical sleeping baby that neither perceives nor feels anything until it takes its first breath. So I’ll give Tucker credit for trying to start that conversation.

However, as pro-lifers, we must be vigilant not to fall into these arguments. Arbitrary conditions on abortion, such as “is the fetus feeling pain” or “is there a heartbeat” are logical fallacies – avoid these traps. In a conversation I had with Dr. Beep earlier today, he pointed out that sedating people to death is also “painless”, just like two-to-the-back-of-the-head of your political enemy. These atrocities are still murder regardless of how pain-free they may be for the victims.

And as for the heartbeat argument: life begins at conception. Full stop. The heartbeat laws enacted in several states are nice, but they do not acknowledge nor do they prevent the earliest abortions that are happening every day: abortifacient contraceptive pills, IUDs, and the “morning after” pill.

Let us celebrate the overturning of Roe while still being mindful that a tremendous uphill battle faces us. Our culture is a thoroughly pagan one, so we must articulate carefully that abortion is always wrong no matter the method or circumstances.

This laughably bad piece at the Remnant Newspaper has garnered 100% negative comments so far.

Mike, you need to get out from under Chris Ferrara’s thumb while you still have an audience and a subscriber base. Seriously. The vast majority of Trads in the English-speaking world either know or strongly suspect that Benedict never validly resigned. Because it’s obvious. You’re tinkling into the wind by berating pretty much everyone in your audience for simply acknowledging reality, and actually believing that it’s important, and wanting the situation rectified.

(It was pointed out to me that this is actually mandated in Canon Law itself:

Can. 748 §1. All persons are bound to seek the truth in those things which regard God and His Church and by virtue of divine law are bound by the obligation and possess the right of embracing and observing the truth which they have come to know.”)

For the life of me, I simply cannot comprehend what these “It doesn’t matter who the Vicar of Christ on Earth is, or is not” people can possibly be thinking. Usually I can at least dimly see an opposing position’s rationale – wrong though it may be, I can still see what they’re thinking. With this, I got nothin’. If it makes no difference WHO the Pope is, then what possible purpose can the papacy serve at all? Don’t these people see that they are serving the Freemasonic agenda to a T?

I screen-capped this portion of the comment box on the piece. Very well-said here.

Folks, this could very well spark the beginning of the actual, hot civil war.

Pretty much everyone I know who is a believing Catholic says, at this point: BRING IT.

LET’S. GET. THIS. ON.

Because peaceful coexistence is not possible with these demoniac, sodophilic child killers. Let’s do this.

Today is also the date of the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, who is bumped for the Feast of the Sacred Heart as is only right – “He must increase, I must decrease.”

“Here. Take it.”

Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A few thoughts on the Sacred Heart, and the Law.

A.  A mercy that springs forth from the wild and often detrimental technological progress curve of the past 100 years is the confirmation of all manner of things regarding Our Lord and His Holy Church.  Specifically today I am reminded of the fact that science has now confirmed that in all of the Eucharistic miracles which have been confirmed as genuine and involved a Consecrated Host turning fleshy, the Flesh in every instance, upon testing, is from a human male, blood type AB, and the flesh is ENDOCARDIUM, that is, INTERIOR HEART WALL.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus is not a syrupy platitude. It is a physical reality, and moreover, it is a physical reality present at every valid Mass.  The Eucharist literally, physically IS the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

B.  The Gradual of the Mass for the Feast of The Sacred Heart is from Psalm 24: 8-9

“The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore He will give a Law to sinners in the way. He will guide the mild in judgment: He will teach the meek His ways.”

If you have watched the big Diabolical Narcissism video, you will probably remember the “three rules for things you NEVER say to a DN”. They are:

1.  Never tell a DN that you love them.  This makes you a target for soul murder (that is, scandalize you unto spiritual death and ultimately damnation).
2. Never tell a DN what makes you happy or what you are grateful for.  They will take away these things as part of their campaign to murder your soul.
3. Never tell a DN that they have hurt you.  They will use your confirmation of the success of their tactics to hurt you again, and to hurt you harder the next time.

Now, going back to the Psalm verse above, we are reminded of what The Law – that which Antipope Jorge Bergoglio rails against constantly – actually is. Read this over and over again until you get it:

The Law is God Almighty telling us what actions of ours HURT HIM AND WOUND HIS SACRED HEART.

The Law is God basically pleading with us to PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE NOT do these certain things, because these things break His Heart, and all He wants is to love us and be loved by us. So, in order for the relationship to work, we need to PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE NOT do these specific things, and if we do, we need to stop doing them, repent, confess, and be contrite.

Because when we hurt ourselves, it breaks His Heart.

Think about this in terms of relationships between men.  Doesn’t it make sense that if someone – friend, family member, spouse, coworker, even a stranger on the street, is doing something to hurt us, we want to TELL THEM so that they will understand the gravity and consequence of their actions and STOP so that we can continue the relationship in peace, whether that peace is the peace between spouses or the peace between strangers on the street?

But more importantly, any MORALLY SANE PERSON, that is, a person who is NOT a Diabolical Narcissist/Sociopath/Psychopath WANTS TO KNOW if something they are doing is hurting, much less murdering the soul, of another person SO THAT THEY CAN STOP DOING IT. When the person is someone that we love, how much more do we want to tell them, “Please, please, please don’t do X, because you hurt me profoundly when you do X.”

Do not confuse this for the Social Justice Warrior “triggering” and “micro-aggression” nonsense.  The presumption here is normal, human moral sanity. (How sad that I have to even state this….)

Psycho-spiritually sane people do NOT prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.   Diabolical Narcissists do.  Remember, exactly like demons, they invert everything.

So God, knowing everything, and being pure, infinite LOVE, “breaks” the three rules above, and does it knowing exactly what He is in for in doing so. This is why the image of The Sacred Heart is oftentimes Jesus, literally holding his Heart in His hand, offering it to us, showing it to us, completely exposing it to us.  It is total, complete, infinite vulnerability.

“Here. Take it.”

1.  He tells us that He loves us. Over and over and over again. And, He is, without question, the most hated thing in the universe. Men and demons hate God precisely because God loves them.
2. He tells us what pleases Him, what He wants from us, both in terms of worship, and in terms of The Law, namely: Love Him above all else, Love our neighbors for love of Him, and spread the Gospel to all men and nations.
3. He tells us what hurts Him.  These are the “Thou shalt nots”….

Looking at this list, it is no surprise whatsoever that Antipope Bergoglio, the Alpha DN infiltrators, and the massive Beta DN caste, all despise solemn, reverent, God-centered liturgy; they rail against The Law and “Lovers of the Law”; and they rail against proselytization.  Antipope Bergoglio has called proselytization “solemn nonsense”, has told people explicitly NOT to convert and enter the One True Church, and has compared The Great Commission to islamic jihad.  Finally, everything Antipope Bergoglio and his toadies have done to date has had as its goal the disregarding or overriding of The Law.  He is at war with the Rule of Law – GOD’S LAW.  Marriage, confession, reception of Holy Communion, holy orders is coming next, and on and on.

If this does not constitute being at war with God, then I have no idea what does.

And yet, Christ, all-knowing, all-understanding, and pure, infinite love for each and every person, told us exactly how we can hurt Him, because if He didn’t tell us how we can hurt Him, neither would we know, by definition, how to Love Him.

And clearly, to Him it was and is worth it.

This is why The Law and the Sacred Heart of Jesus are inextricably connected. 

Hate one, and you hate the other. Period.

Be assured of my prayers. I hope this helps.

 

These three public social media posts by a neonatologist woman doctor about her proud sacrificing of her children, with one proudly confirmed maimed, are a testament to the evil insanity of the totally mainstream cult of child sacrifice that the former United States and the post-Christian West now is.

It’s going to burn. To the ground. By its own instigation and hand. Expect a combination of nuclear weapons (whether by the hand of “scourging” nations like Russia and China, or false flag self-attacks) but more especially the resulting starvation and disease arising from the cessation of water purification and functioning sewage systems, and the inability to produce and transport food.

Behold, one of the most evil people alive today. And you could be standing in line next to her at the grocery store and never have any idea what she is. When this evil is so normalized, so totally ubiquitous, so pedestrian as to be “invisible” by its sheer quantity in a culture, the culture can only be doomed, whether by its own suicide, or an outside agent acting according to the positive will of God as infinite Justice.

Or we will get what’s coming to us by the direct supernatural intervention of God Himself, which I by no means scoff at the possibility of. “Send Us Thine Asteroid, O Lord… 🎶 “
