Tomorrow, Jan. 20, 2025, America celebrates the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump. It will be a good day for this nation. For whatever faults Donald Trump may have, I think he cares about America and the American people. This one simple fact puts him head and shoulders above nearly every other Western head of state. Indeed, his administration represents a vast improvement over the outgoing Biden Regime headed by a Jesuit agent, who, from the time of his inauguration to the very end of his term in office, never ceased making war on the Constitution and the American people.
The most obvious example of Biden’s hatred of the American people is his allowing 10 + million illegal aliens to flood our nation along with the imposition of all the attendant costs, both monetary and non-monetary, that resulted from this decision.
Joe Biden’s hatred of our constitutionally guaranteed liberties and the property and lives of the American people, though remarkable, is by no means an isolated case in the contemporary West. Of all the oddities of the post-Christian West, the one that stands out in my mind is the degree to which Western governments, almost without exception, clearly despise their own people.

Is Anitchrist Going Bankrupt?

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.
