Dear Miss Barnhardt,

The article about Mr. Butker was excellent, as usual, and I thank you for it. Just one tiny point with which I would disagree. With all due respect to St. Catherine of Siena’s remarkable example of “going out of lane”, I would offer St. Joan as an even better example. A small, illiterate, untrained teenage virgin girl given full command of a nation’s army? It doesn’t get more “out of the lane” than that.

May God keep you in His grace,

Mr. T

If you haven’t watched KC Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker’s commencement speech delivered at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas yet, you should. It’s an absolute tour de force. Butker fears NO ONE, and I say that not because he went after the cult of sodomy, or the recent so-called Antisemitism laws. I say that because he went after something that is controversial even within the Trad Catholic Community: “Natural” family planning, aka “Catholic Birth Control.” Like I said, the guy is an absolute unit.

A key theme is Butker’s speech is “staying in one’s lane” in the sense of living out one’s vocation or station in life, fulfilling one’s own responsibilities, and not incurring into “lanes” that aren’t yours.

I hear this, and broadly agree. HOWEVER, I would hope that Mr. Butker also consider that Our Lord does sometimes call people “out of their lane”, and asks them to do unexpected and occasionally even great things. If St. Peter and St. Andrew had “stayed in their lane” as fishermen, and likewise with the other Apostles, and they humbly declined to go conquer Rome and spread the Gospel to the corners of the earth because such an undertaking was “out of their lane”… well. I don’t need to say how catastrophic that would have been.

The same goes for such giants as St. Catherine of Siena, perhaps the best example of a person “not staying in her lane” – to put it mildly.

God works in mysterious ways. He does WHAT He wants, WHEN He wants, WHERE He wants, HOW He wants, WITH WHOM He wants. He pulls people out of their lanes quite a bit, and uses the seemingly “unqualified”, and CERTAINLY “uncredentialed” precisely in order to prove a point and manifest His omnipotence and goodness. And so, here we sit today in May of ARSH 2024, and the placekicker of the KC Chiefs is THE current voice and de facto leader of the Remnant Church Militant.

We are in a war, and all of the Flag Officers are either: Dead, Traitors, Cowards, AWOL, injured or imprisoned. So what happens? You just keep working down the chain of command. If the General is out, then it falls to a Colonel. If there’s no Colonel, then to a Major. If no Major, then to a Captain. If there be no Captains, then to a Lieutenant. If there are no Lieutenants, then to a Sergeant Major. If no Sergeant Major, then to a Sergeant. If no Sergeants, then to a Corporal. If no Corporals, then to a Private. When a situation is so dire that you get down to the level of a Private having to step into a leadership position, natural leaders within a squad EMERGE. Or, it could be said that God “raises men up.”

Mr. Butker is wealthy from his lastest 5 year, eight-figure compensation package with the Chiefs, AND he is already a diversified entrepreneur. If the NFL cuts him tomorrow, which is possible given the media uproar, and the frothing, spittle-flicked nutty that the Uber-promiscuous autotuned pop tart cult leader, Taylor Swift’s minions are throwing, Mr. Butker will probably chuckle and shake the dust from his sandals. All the more reason for him to consider the very clear fact that he is now, already very much one of, if not THE most forward leader of the resistance to Clown World, aka the cult of Antichrist.

Sometimes, some people are called by God out of their lane. Heck, some people are called to drive on the shoulder. A few people are called to leave the road entirely and drive cross-country.

The answer lies in the words of Our Lady at the wedding of Cana: DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU.

“Hard Truths About Combat Tactics”
originally penned and posted in September, ARSH 2011

I have received emails from very well-meaning guys and had conversations with various law enforcement and military fellows about civilian combat tactics, both in a general context AND as they apply to me directly given my situation. While I always appreciate expert advice and soak it up as much as I can, I have been struck by one commonality that I have heard and vigorously disagree with. I have been told over and over again that the first thing one must do when a close-quarter combat theater unfolds is to seek cover.

I’m sorry, but that is wrong. And yes, I realize that I am directly contradicting the near-unanimous advice of men who have training and experience that I lack. I realize that, but I still must disagree. If I EVER encounter a gunman or gunmen situation as we saw yesterday* in Norway, or as in the Giffords shooter in Arizona, or as in musloid Mumbai-syle attacks I will NOT seek cover. The “seek cover” tactic completely hems YOU in and basically demands that the gunman move into a position such that YOU have a shot on him, but he doesn’t have a shot on you. Guys, that’s never going to happen.  And it is completely chickens***.

Any adult, male or female, with any degree of physical capability, regardless of armament, upon seeing a shooter should immediately RUN AT THE S.O.B. as hard and as fast as possible. If you have a gun, you draw it and start shooting as soon as you can. If you have a knife, draw it and brandish it and then go for the face and neck as soon as you are in range. If you are unarmed you can still tackle him and beat him into submission or death, if necessary, or gouge his eyes out (ladies).

At this point, most everyone in this culture would say, “That’s crazy! I’m not doing that! I’d just get shot!”

Um, yeah. I know.

When crazed gunmen start shooting in public places, people tend to get killed. But there are two variables that can be modified: WHO gets killed and HOW MANY people get killed. I remember hearing Dennis Miller speak very poignantly about the Virginia Tech massacre shortly after it happened in 2007. One of the dead was an elderly professor, Dr. Liviu Librescu, who was a Holocaust survivor. When the gunman appeared at his classroom door, Dr. Librescu ran straight toward him and forced the classroom door shut and held it shut while the shooter tried to force entrance. This bought time for the students to escape through the window. The gunman eventually killed Dr. Librescu by shooting him through the door. All but one of Dr. Librescu’s students escaped. The point Dennis Miller made was that Dr. Librescu, when he saw the evil standing in the door – which he had seen before six decades earlier and thus recognized – didn’t run AWAY from the evil, he ran STRAIGHT AT IT.

Our culture with its new god of “self esteem” has destroyed the average person’s sense of courage and self-sacrifice. There is no virility, and certainly no potency.  While our fighting men in the military still have plenty of bravery, their pants-pissing, self-esteem candy@$$ generals refuse to let anyone fight because “someone might get hurt”. And so, our soldiers have to sit and watch as the enemy moves free and uncontested, and then our boys get killed as a result of that enemy freedom of movement. We should be bumrushing the S.O.B.’s with everything we have, from nukes to bayonets, if needed. Speaking of bayonets, did you know that the U.S. military has removed bayonet training from basic training? Apparently it was too aggressive, or some bee-ess like that. Nevermind that a bayonet charge is still an incredibly effective tactic which was last used by a squad of Brits in Iraq who were ambushed, pinned down and outnumbered 5:1. They fixed bayonets, charged, killed 35 of the 100 Iraqi rebels, and sent the remainder running with the contents of their bowels evacuated. The Brits suffered three very minor wounds. If they had used contemporary Western sissy self-esteem “I might get hurt” combat tactics, they would have been shot dead to the last man.

This is also what happened at Columbine High School. The SWAT Team sat outside the school while the killers roamed free because the SWAT Team was trained to not engage if they could potentially get killed. So, they sat and waited for Harris or Klebold to step in front of a window and give them a clean, “safe” shot or some such. The only reason Columbine ended was because the two shooters shot themselves. They were granted 100% situational control to the very end by the SWAT Team.

In Norway*, even if there were two gunmen (they’re still not sure), the gunmen were outnumbered something like 200:1. The adults and older boys (I think it was a group of teenagers) could have rushed the gunmen. Would people have been killed? Absolutely – but not the 85 that were killed. A gunman can’t kill everyone if being rushed by dozens of people. Numbers WILL break through.

And here’s the tough part for most people. Let’s say that I rush a gunman. In the time it takes the gunman to see me rushing him, aim, fire and drop me, other people have advanced four or five steps closer to him. Each person he has to kill buys the other people four or five steps. This is war, writ small. What do you think D-Day was? Eisenhower knew that the Nazi machine gunners would mow down thousands of troops – but both Eisenhower and the soldiers themselves knew that the Nazis couldn’t kill all of them. Zero casualties was never the objective. The objective was victory, and those two things are NOT the same, and sometimes they are exact opposites. If you want zero casualties, surrender.

In our culture, not only has the notion of self-sacrifice unto death been completely lost, but people have been taught that they are personally “God’s gift to the world” and that their life is the single most important thing that there is, ever has been and ever will be. People have such an inflated sense of their own importance that they simply cannot fathom that perhaps their ultimate “purpose” on this earth might be to buy 2.3 seconds of time so that someone else can advance on a gunman, ultimately saving numerous lives. This ties directly to the fact that pretty much no one believes in the first paragraph of the Catechism: Q: Why do I exist? A: I exist to know, love and serve God in this world, and BE HAPPY WITH HIM FOREVER IN THE NEXT.

What people fail to understand is that the life of freedom and decadent prosperity that they now enjoy was bought and paid for by millions of men who ran into gunfire, bayonets, canon fire and swords over the centuries so that the cause of righteousness could advance. Do you like being a free person who can sit and read whatever you want on this thing called the internet? (For now…) Are you glad that you are Christian and not musloid? Thank the long dead and individually forgotten men who fought at Vienna, Lepanto and Tours. If it weren’t for them, you either wouldn’t exist, or you would exist and be a musloid. They died not just for their immediate families, but also for YOU. I’m sure many an evening campfire throughout the centuries heard soldiers ask the question, “I wonder what the world will be like in the year 2000?” Our lives are the answer to their question, and sadly we have almost completely pissed all of it away.

The problem today is that people are so monstrously narcissistic that they are incapable of viewing themselves as anything other than the sole beneficiary and culmination of history, when in fact we are all just bricks in the road of time that stretches on in front of us. Everyone has been taught that every single person is born for earthly glory, fame and riches, and anything that falls short of that just CAN’T be right and certainly can’t be God’s will. I have had, on more than one occasion, Christian people say to me with a completely straight face, “What purpose can a person serve and what good can they do if they’re dead?”

Oh, none. There is no example of death serving a greater purpose. Especially in Christianity.  Not-a-one.  Sigh.

“The power of Peter’s keys does not extend to the point that the Supreme Pontiff can declare ‘not sin’ what is sin, or ‘sin’ that which is not sin. In fact, this would be to call evil good, and good evil, something that always has been and will be very far from the one who is the Head of the Church, the pillar and foundation of truth.”

(see Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, lib IV chapter VI)

Antipope Bergoglio has done nothing but spew satanic inversion of the One True Faith since day one of his usurpatious Antipapacy. Therefore, OBVIOUSLY, the events surrounding and immediately preceding his usurpation of the Petrine See demand rigorous investigation. With even the most cursory and glancing investigation of the events and words of Pope Benedict cross-checked against Canon Law, it is glaringly obvious that Pope Benedict never validly resigned. The fact that Bergoglio is obviously not Catholic, but beyond that is clearly on a mission to utterly destroy the Church Militant and replace it with a satanic Freemasonic sodomitical Antichurch, points backward to the fact that Pope Benedict’s attempt to partially quit was completely invalid.

Bergoglio isn’t an Antipope because he is a luciferian heretic – he is an Antipope because Pope Benedict never legally resigned.As St. Bellarmine says, Bergoglio “always has been and will be very far from the one who is the Head of the Church.”

Today is the 107th anniversary first apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, and the feast of St. Robert Bellarmine.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for the Petrine See, needlessly vacant these 498 days and counting, and for Holy Mother Church in terrifyingly visible eclipse, outside of which there is no salvation.

St. Robert Bellarmine, pray for the Petrine See, needlessly vacant these 498 days and counting, and for Holy Mother Church in terrifyingly visible eclipse, outside of which there is no salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us, and on your Holy Catholic Church in terrifyingly visible eclipse, outside of which there is no salvation.

He thinks that when the Chinese buy US paper, that we are loaning money to them. So, in his mind, all of the trillions in US bonds is money OWED to the U.S. Treasury. Not the other way around. He’s retarded. Straight up. And running the global economy.

But do currency-issuing governments really ‘borrow’ their own currencies?

So, I think I’ll start issuing bonds. Y’all can BUY bonds from me for, say, $100 per, you send me the money, and then YOU will owe ME the face value at maturity. And I guess the benefit you will get from this is that I won’t have the B.I.A. (Barnhardt Intelligence Agency, based out of Vangley, Lirginia) overthrow your government, and I’ll supply your oligarchs with child sex slaves? Sound about right?

Is it time for a Barnhardt Axiom #5?

“Retards are running the world.”

The prose is inelegant, but so is the underlying truth. For midwits to be running the world would be a massive step up. (Cough, Trump, cough.)

This HAS to be the most bizarre topical mashup in the history of rhetoric. Buckle up, Buttercups.

So I’m watching a fascinating music theory channel the other evening, and a new video drops declaring The Lennon Sisters (from The Lawrence Welk Show) to be the best youth vocal group in history. Well, I’ve been saying this for a while in this very space! But what stopped me in my tracks was the fact that the person saying this is a long-haired rock guitarist wearing an AC/DC t-shirt. It was just such a gratifying moment, because it proved that Truth is Truth, and if you just have integrity and hold to your position which you KNOW to be true, the Truth WILL out eventually.  And now young electric guitarists are saying publicly, with no shame or embarrassment, what would have been absolutely UNTHINKABLE not too terribly long ago: that a squeaky clean group of four devout Catholic sisters who became famous for singing on THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW… THE. LAWRENCE. WELK. SHOW… are the best secular youth vocal group in history.

Even if you aren’t a musical person, these music theory videos are absolutely fascinating, and the ability to isolate and graph vocals to visualize pitch and vibrato is riveting. The rocker dude also makes the point that families, in particular siblings, clearly have a huge advantage in vocal harmonizing. I think The Everly Brothers are the quintessential example of this, with The Statler Brothers and, of course, The Beach Boys right there too.

And it tickles me to no end that he uses as his example performance, “Swinging on a Star”.

Now, in a similar vein, all kinds of people are suddenly crawling out of the woodwork and publicly declaring that the Death Injections are poisonous (AstraZeneca has pulled their poison globally, admitting it causes blood clots), AND that Ivermectin was safe and effective all along, and that “Joe Rogan was right.” I’m cynical enough to STILL not trust any of these people, but it is another example of just holding fast to the objective, observable truth and having HOPE and FAITH that the Truth WILL out. Because it always, always will, because the Truth is a Person – Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Triune Godhead. Every knee WILL bow, and every tongue WILL confess, eventually.

“To the countries, physicians, & pharmacists who prescribed ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine…you were right.” – Dr. Gortler

And so now, as I said to a member of the Catholic Media earlier today, I am completely, totally confident that this dynamic of “the Truth outing” WILL occur with regards to the Bergoglian Antipapacy. It’s all obvious. The dataset is right there, clear as the Lennon Sisters’ harmonies, observable, visible and documented as the efficacy and safety of Ivermectin. In fact, more so. FAR more so. And that’s what so many still refuse to admit: HOW VISIBLY OBVIOUS the Bergoglian Antipapacy is.

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever, that one day we’ll all wake up, and all of a sudden all kinds of people are going to be saying publicly, “Bergoglio is an Antipope. Benedict never validly resigned.” And it will be just that fast – like Andrew Cuomo singing the praises of Ivermectin and admitting that he takes it prophylactically just a few days ago.

I’m occasionally asked if I worry about being wrong about Bergoglio being an Antipope, and Pope Benedict’s resignation being invalid. The answer is a resounding NO. I harbor as much doubt about that as I do about the sum of 1 and 1 being 2. And that is no exaggeration. The Bergoglian Antipapacy and the antecedent invalidity of Pope Benedict’s attempted partial resignation is as obvious as adding one and one to get two. It is observable, obvious, objective TRUTH. I have ZERO doubt that it will be acknowledged and proclaimed openly, eventually. The Fruit of the Second Glorious Mystery, the Ascension of the Lord, is HOPE. The Fruit of the Fourth Sorrowful Mystery, The Carrying of The Cross to Calvary, is PATIENCE and PERSEVERANCE.

FOLKS, IT’S OKAY TO BE RIGHT, AND TO BE INTRANSIGENT IN DEFENDING THE TRUTH. ONLY IN THIS CLOWN WORLD OF TOTAL INVERSION IS IT CONSIDERED SOME SORT OF VIRTUE TO BE WRONG AND A SLAVE TO THE ZEITGEIST AND HUMAN RESPECT.

So there you go. AC/DC, The Lennon Sisters, Ivermectin, and the Bergoglian Antipapacy in one rhetorical construct.

As always, I hope this helps.

St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us.

Our Lady of Copacabana, pray for us.

Lord Jesus Christ, Ascended to the Right Hand of The Father, have mercy on us.

HOPE is the Fruit of the Second Glorious Mystery of the Rosary, the Ascension.

I love the account of the Ascension in Mark 16, because it says very bluntly that Our Lord, in His last moments to be with the Apostles corporeally before Ascending to the Right Hand of the Father, basically chewed them out – upbraided is the word used – for their FAITHLESSNESS, their incredulity and hardness of heart.

Yes, despite the fact that the events of the previous three years, while certainly prophesied, were UNPRECEDENTED, and despite the fact that the Apostles were all a bunch of unlettered working men with zero authority within the context of the Old Covenant Levitical paradigm, Our Lord still chewed them out for their failure to “get it”, which was NOT a function of education or even Levitical status, but of FAITH.

And then He ascended before their eyes, and even though Our Lord had just commanded them to go and do what seemed impossible in every sense, to spread the Gospel to the entire world, they were so filled with Hope, that they did it.

Folks, there is ALWAYS hope. There is always a visible path forward. There is always a proverbial “trail of breadcrumbs”, and God is God and CANNOT be hamstrung or out-maneuvered. Ever. And WE are called, just as the Apostles were almost 2000 years ago to go “git ‘er dun”, and we have the selfsame Paraclete (He goes by “Holy Ghost” in many parts) to help us.

Beware ANYONE who preaches a faux gospel of hopelessness. Beware anyone who tries to tell you that “peace of mind” comes from giving up, and that a retreat into adolescent, effeminate, narcissistic “not my problem-ism” is virtuous.

I think I heard something like this at Mass once…

To Thee, O God, my God, I will give praise upon the harp; why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to Him: the salvation of my countenance and my God.

Battle of the Brain damaged stars is just PERFECT for the post-American clown show farce. Let’s get Fetterman in there. He’s sounding more “right wing” than Trump lately. Didn’t have THAT on my bingo card.

How about running RFK Jr.’s Dead Worm/Fetterman as a ticket? “It’s Sundown in ‘Murica”.

I shall send you over to Mr. BigFurHat at our old stomping grounds, iotwReport.com, for full reportage.

Minor Rogation days – praying for our food

Posted by Nurse Claire

According to the traditions of the Church, the three days preceding Ascension Thursday (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday THIS week) are minor rogation days (the major day is April 25 – also the feast of St Mark).   The Church instituted these days of prayer and fasting in order to appease God’s Justice for man’s transgressions, ask protection in calamities, and PRAY FOR A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST.  Given the assaults on our food chain, I want to focus on this opportunity to implore God’s assistance.

I’m sure I don’t need to remind this readership about all the globalist threats to our food supply.  The diabolical practices of Big Food and Big Ag have violated God’s creation; widespread chronic health problems stemming from these grotesque practices could even be considered a chastisement.

Let us pray to appease God’s anger towards these abuses, for His protection against ongoing calamities, and that we receive the blessing of a bountiful (and healthy) harvest….

Minor Rogation days – praying for our food

This is Drudge right now:

So Hose-B in Tejas has pinkeye. Just a standard case of pinkeye. But it’s now “Bird Flu bleeding eyeballs”.

They do this because yes, most people, sadly, and this must be said, are indeed stupid enough to fall for this crap.

Lemme guess: mandatory mRNA injections to ‘prevent’ Bleeding Eyeball Bird AIDS in 3…2…1….

And Athlete’s Foot is now Gangrene.

And dandruff is now “Skin Wasting Syndrome.”

And hangnails are now “spontaneous extra digit eruptions.”

I could do this all day….
