Perhaps you’ve read about the famous Christmas truce of 1914.[1] As WWI was getting underway, Allied and German soldiers, much to the horror of their commanders, decided during Christmas that they preferred celebrating peace on earth to killing one another.    

Christmas 2024, on the other hand, saw a war break out. Not a shooting war of the sort raging in Europe in 1914, but a war of ideas. This time, the battlefield wasn’t France. It was X. And the opposing forces weren’t the British and German armies but was more of a civil war, pitting Trump supporters against other Trump supporters on immigration.   

Immigration is a big topic. The Christmas immigration war of 2024 was focused on one aspect of the subject: the H-1B visa. More to the point, the focus was on the incoming Trump administration’s desire to remove the country cap that currently limits the number of H-1B visas issued to a particular country. India was the focus of this battle, as the bulk of H-1B visas are issued to Indian tech workers. Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others argued that more H-1B visas would help America “win.” Others were upset, seeing the proposed increase in H-1B visas as opposed to Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda.

Did Jesuit Pope Francis order “Jesuit” Joe Biden to commute the death sentences of federal death row inmates?

While you won’t find any public order – although you will find a public prayer as discussed below – from the Papal Antichrist to Joe Biden demanding the President commute the death sentences of the 40 federal death row inmates, consider the following events and decide for yourself if this is what happened.

According to this post from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) website dated 12/20/2024,[1] Pope Francis and Joe Biden spoke by phone on 12/19/2024. The USCCB article quotes a statement from the White House[2] that same day that reads, “President Biden also graciously accepted His Holiness Pope Francis’ invitation to visit the Vatican next month.”

My Comments: Is Antichrist going bankrupt? We can always hope so. According to the link below, donations are down, and the Vatican’s pension is majorly in the hole. Things are looking kinda bleak for the seven-headed beast, but something tells me he’ll probably manage to find a way to keep on keeping on.

A bit of history…Many people don’t know this, but Antichrist was financially on the ropes in the early 16th century. Things got so bad that Church-State had to suspend construction of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome for lack of funds. The report is that weeds were springing up out of the unfinished columns. Definitely not a good look. Bad curb appeal.

This prompted Rome to send out its indulgence salesman extraordinaire, Johannes Tetzel. And it was Tetzel’s hawking indulgences that got a certain Augustinian monk fired up enough to post 95 theses on a church door in Wittenberg. Funny to think that the Lord used the Vatican’s wobbly finances to kick off the Protestant Reformation.

In case you’re wondering, indulgences are still a thing with the Vatican. In fact, as the article below notes, “Pilgrims, lured by the promise of indulgences and spiritual renewal, are anticipated to inject much-needed revenue into the Vatican’s coffers.”

Maybe Antichrist has a 21st-century version of Johannes Tetzel waiting to hawk those indulgences.

Maybe it’s time for another Augustinian monk to do his thing.

Antichrist never stops his irredentist immigration war and America, so American Christians ought never to stop exposing it.

It’s always tempting to suppose that we can defeat Antichrist – by “Antichrist,” I mean the Pope of Rome, currently Jorge Bergoglio, dba Francis I – with one sermon, blog post, or presidential election. But if the Protestant Reformation couldn’t finish him off for good, there’s no reason to suppose that going to the polls in November and voting for the candidate who promised to end Jesuit Joe Biden’s illegal alien assault on America will finish him off for good, either.

As a friend likes to say, we’re pretty much stuck with Antichrist until the Lord returns. He’s right. And I don’t say that to come off as a downer but because I believe that’s what the Bible teaches.

Here are a few stories that show Antichrist is alive and well and determined to continue its irredentist immigration war on the United States.

“Catholic Charities servicing refugees at accelerated rate” is a story Carolyn sent me from a local TV station in Amarillo, TX. One notable line from this piece is, “The new [Trump administration] policy could make the reunification process go from monthslong to a yearslong process.” This is a lie. Families can be reunified immediately by those illegally residing in the United States returning to their families in their countries of origin. This they can do at any time. When Rome or those sympathetic to Rome talk about “reunification of families,” they mean bringing in more welfare migrants and forcing Americans to pick up the tab.

Of course, we can’t overlook the term “refugees” either. What Catholic Charities calls “refugee resettlement” is simply their euphemism for illegal alien resettlement. And even if they are not illegal aliens and actually are refugees, contrary to Antichrist’s evil and incompetent economic and political thought, they have zero claim on the property of the American people.  

Here’s another piece to remind you just how much America’s Roman Catholic bishops hate the American people. “California bishops write letter of support for migrants amid mass deportation fears.”

Timed to coincide with the feast of “Our Lady of Guadalupe” on December 12, the bishop’s statement is titled “Am I Not Here, I Who Am Your Mother?” which are the words the demon impersonating the biblical Mary supposedly said to Juan Diego when it appeared to him in 1531.

It’s not often appreciated the extent to which Antichrist invokes the words or images of its demon goddess of Guadalupe to justify its immigration invasion of the United States. But once you begin to see it, as the saying goes, you can’t unsee it.

In their letter, the California bishops decry the “fear” that exists among “so many we shepherd in our dioceses” due to big, bad Donald Trump’s threats of mass deportations. Question, if the Roman Catholic bishops are harboring so many individuals they admit to knowing are illegal aliens, does this not make them guilty of aiding and abetting the crime of illegal immigration? Doing so is a violation of U.S. law. The Trump administration should arrest those bishops for their illicit activities and deport them back to their daddy in the Vatican.

It’s remarkable how openly and brazenly the Catholic bishops talk about their contempt for American law. In an article titled “Archbishop Lori says church will continue to minister to migrants, listen to the people,”

After saying, in effect, that the Church-State will continue with its illicit aid to illegal aliens, the lying Archbishop laughably goes on to say, “We certainly do not encourage illegal immigration.”

Apparently, the Archbishop doesn’t believe bearing false witness is a sin.

Dogs bark, and ducks quack. It is their nature to do so; expecting them to do otherwise is foolish. So it is with Antichrist. He and his lying henchmen in Catholic Charities and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will continue to lie and steal and subvert, for it is their nature to do so. They can do no other. Christians must realize this and never let up exposing their evil, just as our Reformation forefathers did.

Trump to end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens on day one.

Some of the best news on the immigration front I’ve ever heard is Donald Trump’s promise to sign an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens on day one of his term in office. Trump called the practice “ridiculous,” which indeed it is.

Of course, the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State, its frontmen, and other groups with a vested interest in committing treason against the United States of America will howl and scream and beat their breasts in opposition. Expect serious pushback from them, as all these evildoers know full well how important awarding citizenship to the children of illegal aliens born on American soil is to their treasonous, irredentist immigration assault on America.

Trump vows to end birthright citizenship and pardon US Capitol rioters” by Jude Sheerin, BBC News, 12/09/2024, accessed 12/10/2024.

Last week, we examined some of Donald Trump’s cabinet picks and found that many of them are actually more MIGA (Make Israel Great Again) than MAGA (Make America Great Again). Unfortunately, that trend has continued and requires further commentary.

Donald Trump shocked Washington by announcing Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz as his pick to be the next Attorney General (AG). As you may know, Gaetz withdrew himself from consideration for the AG role, and in his place, Trump nominated former Florida AG Pam Bondi.

Donald Trump introduced MAGA to American voters during the 2016 presidential campaign. MAGA (Make America Great Again) was a shorthand for Trump’s America First political platform of lower taxes, less government regulation, border control, ending foreign wars, and re-industrialization.

MAGA was back again in 2024, and, once again, the message of America First proved popular with voters. The name “America First” dates to the 1930s and 1940s, when concerned American patriots wanted to keep America out of the brewing wars in Europe and Asia. Perhaps the best-known spokesman of this movement was the famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, who has been described as “a leading voice of opposition to U.S. involvement in World War II.”[1] The America First Committee’s influence came to an end with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.[2]

The Lord was merciful to America last week.

He could have given us the Monstrous Regiment, but he didn’t. He could have given us a president who was in part responsible for releasing a millions-strong welfare migrant horde on our nation, but he didn’t. He could have given us a president who has openly attacked our First Amendment right to free speech, but he didn’t.

In short, America, much like Donald Trump in Butler, PA, dodged a bullet last week. As the psalmist says, “He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.”
