    Lewis was himself once an atheist, but became a Christian in his early thirties. He used his great intellectual gifts to become one of the greatest ever apologists for Christianity. Although a Protestant, the great majority of his writings are compatible with Catholism.

    Yes a war going on big time. A recent pride parade in my town and festival to go with it. 300 people showed up. It made me think of the ‘Christmas in July’ events. And Satan says there will be Halloween in June. Because the whole thing reminds me of Halloween where everyone wants to dress up in outlandish attire and be someone they are not. Ghoulish even. Good vs Evil. The end times scenario of the last days. John the Baptist warning us and people are living the hedonistic life style. Hunker down it will get worse, much worse. Bishop Alvarez suffering for us, now Bishop Strickland. Falling like dominoes. Don’t go out without wearing a shield, miraculous medal, cross, scapular. Keep it visible. We are in the battle.

    HMMM, what happened to we have no fear from them for our children?

    Satan's Army is on the March. Time for God's Army to meet them head on.

    Nice to see these groomers finally admit what we feared the last 3 decades. They'll get my kid over my dead body!



    CV NEWS FEED // The first openly “transgender” state legislator, a former New Hampshire state representative, was arrested last week for allegedly distributing child pornography.

    Stacie Marie Laughton, 39, was arrested on June 22 after local police searched his house in Nashua, New Hampshire.

    “[The police] spoke with reporting parties that indicated Laughton distributed sexually explicit images of children,” said the local police department’s public information officer. “Detectives from the special investigations division were assigned to further the investigation. They applied for and were granted a warrant for Laughton’s arrest.”

    Nashua police Sgt. John Cinelli said Laughton “was charged with four counts of disseminating child sex images.”

    Investigators say Laughton was arrested in connection with his former partner, Lindsay Groves. Groves was an employee at the Creative Minds Early Learning Center, a preschool in Massachusetts. Groves was arrested recently for allegedly photographing children in the bathroom of the preschool. Groves is being charged with four counts of possession of child pornography, sexual exploitation of children, and distribution of child pornography.

    Laughton has a history of arrests and legal trouble. Born Barry Charles Laughton, Jr., the former Democratic representative resigned twice from the same position because of arrest scandals.

    In 2012, he became the first openly “transgender” person elected to the state legislature. He was reelected in 2022. Laughton resigned both times after revelations of legal trouble.

    LGBTQ activists and media outlets celebrated Laughton’s election.

    Customers withdraw record amount of savings in May

    Billpayers dipped into bank and savings accounts at a record level in May, prompting warnings from charities about the ongoing high cost of living.

    There was £4.6bn more withdrawn than paid into bank and building society accounts, the Bank of England said.

    That was the highest level seen since comparable records began 26 years ago.

    The rising cost of living, including grocery bills, mortgage payments, and rent, is putting household finances under strain.

    Richard Lane, director of external affairs at debt charity StepChange, said it was vital that people were supported to build up savings to provide resilience against unexpected bills.

    "This is the latest in a long line of warnings that more and more people are struggling to cope with the cost of living," he said.

    "Cost pressures are everywhere and eroding people's financial headroom, leaving them more vulnerable to harmful borrowing and problem debt."

    US Fed steps in to save Silicon Valley Bank deposits – and prevent further withdrawal runs

    he US Treasury Department has intervened to guarantee deposits following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and halt broader bank run jitters.
    Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, Federal Reserve Board chair Jerome Powell, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) chair Martin Gruenberg released a joint statement on Sunday night, US time, amid concerns of contagion spreading on Monday, creating an emergency program to protect all deposits at both California-based SVB and New York’s Signature Bank.

    The intervention extends the existing FDIC scheme, which guarantees the first US$250,000 of deposits. But the problem for startups and investors is that many had millions or tens of millions of dollars deposited with SVB.

    More than 90% of the funds deposited with the 40-year-old bank came from the startup ecosystem. The bank provided banking to around half of all US VC-backed startups, but imploded last week as customers tried to withdraw around US$40 billion in funds – nearly a quarter of the capital in the bank – before state regulators stepped in on Friday to take control. The FDIC is now the receiver of Silicon Valley Bank.

    Concerns that startup founders would be unable to pay staff led to concerns of a dinosaurs-level extinction fears over the weekend amid pleas for the US government to intervene.

    ASX-listed tech companies exposed to the SVB collapse fell in early trade on Monday morning before the US Fed announcement.

    The Federal Reserve intervention also included the crypto-focused Signature Bank, which New York state regulators took control of on Sunday citing concerns about its viability.

    The 25-year Californian bank Silvergate, which has also been crypto-focused in recent years, collapsed last week, but it not part of this bail out.

    “Today we are taking decisive actions to protect the US economy by strengthening public confidence in our banking system,” Yellen, Powell and Gruenberg said in their join statement.

    “This step will ensure that the US banking system continues to perform its vital roles of protecting deposits and providing access to credit to households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth.”

    Depositors will have access to all of their money from Monday, March 13.

    “No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer,” they said.

    It has been so bad in Michigan the whole week. It was supposed to have been cleared out days ago. Seems like no end in sight. I got a pretty bad headache and just overall exhaustion from being out in it.

    I suspect there is more to this than wildfires, frankly. I do not remember anything like this on this scale. Ever.
    Yes, I’m in Maryland, and the smoke is hanging in the air. Our wind will shift out of the south in a few days and there will be some relief. Praying for you and all affected by this.

    In Michigan they are telling people to mask if they go out. The fine particles are very bad for the lungs. My sister lives there. Its brutal. And apparently these Quebec fires Re out of control and may burn right into the winter. Millions of acres destroyed.:eek:

    There close to 500 fires burning out of control in Canada. I have never seen this large of a scale here before.
    At least in magnitude of acres being burned.

    If you look at world wide maps, (rsoe- edits.org), this is happening all over the world. Something serious is causing this, and human action is being wrongfully blamed (climate change.) The sun is behaving strangely: huge flares. The moon is behaving strangely (cartwheeling and going from wax to wane in a way that’s not normal.) News media is selective in what we see.

    I believe what you are saying. It's all very strange. A family member who works in secular media doesn't seem to be aware of what's happening regarding above.
    I think journalists have been taught to only use what they have been told as "true news" sites and everything else is bogus.
