FL School Shooting - Valentines - Sackcloth and Ashes - Mardi Gras !!!
Verily, come quickly, shalom, teach us how to prepare 
for a gift that compels us with justice to care. Our 
spirits are restless till sin and war cease as the reign 
of love is God's peace. Beloved Paul writes to us and 
Corinth; charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity 
envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed 
up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her 
own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil ... 
Maranatha !

'Multiple fatalities': At least 14 victims in south Florida high school shooting; suspect in custody
w vid by Christal Hayes - USA TODAY -  #stonemanshooting  https://twitter.com/browardsheriff 
Numerous people are dead and injured after a mass shooting at a south Florida high school Wednesday, officials said. The Broward County Sheriff's Office said there are at least 14 victims but did not say how many of those were injured or killed. The gunman was taken into custody nearly two hours after the shooting was reported, authorities said. The shooting happened about 2 p.m. at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., which is about 30 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale, according to the Coral Springs Police Department. Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie said "multiple fatalities" have been reported. "It's a horrific situation. It's just a horrible day for us," he said. "...This is a day we prayed would never happen in our county." He said every high school in the county has a police presence, adding there are typically two officers at every school. Margate Fire Chief Dan Booker told the Miami Herald that the shooting was a mass casualty incident. He said more than 20 were hurt, although he could not confirm exactly how many have been injured or how many were shot. [...]

Our infrastructure is broken
Years of inaction have allowed American infrastructure to degrade into a state of disrepair. With yesterday’s release of President Donald J. Trump’s Legislative Outline for Rebuilding Infrastructure in America, the Administration is committed to reversing this sad course.
Here are the facts:
    One out of every five miles of highway pavement in the United States is in poor condition.
    More than 50,000 American bridges are rated as “structurally deficient.”
    Commute times have increased every year since 2009—and more than 40 percent of urban interstate miles are congested.
    Nearly 40 percent of Americans living in rural areas lack sufficient broadband access.
    Lengthy reviews hold up infrastructure projects for years.
    The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that failing to meet our infrastructure needs will cost us $4 trillion in GDP and 2.5 million jobs by 2025. [...]

An American budget
Yesterday, White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney released the Fiscal Year 2019 Budget for the U.S. Government: “Efficient, Effective, Accountable: An American Budget.” “As a nation, we face difficult times—challenged by a crumbling infrastructure, growing deficits, rogue nations, and irresponsible Washington spending,” Director Mulvaney said. “Through this budget proposal, it is clear that the President and this Administration are determined to reverse these trends.”
Seven things to know about the President’s budget:
    It provides for a robust and rebuilt national defense.
    It promotes a healthy American economy.
    It curbs wasteful Washington spending.
    It supports the President’s innovative infrastructure initiative.
    It secures our porous southern border and strengthens enforcement of immigration law.
    It keeps our commitment to improving veterans’ health.
    It combats the opioids epidemic.

Watch: Let the Games begin
Vice President Mike Pence arrived in South Korea last week with Second Lady Karen Pence to lead the American Olympic Delegation for the 2018 Winter Games. He attended the Opening Ceremony in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Friday. The Vice President met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in ahead of the Games, discussing how the United States and our global allies will continue to intensify a maximum pressure campaign on North Korea until it abandons its nuclear and ballistic missile programs once and for all. “We will protect our peoples. We will defend our freedom. And together, we will forge a future of security, prosperity, and peace for both of our nations for generations to come,” the Vice President said.

“Trump is a Dictator!” — Liberal Hysteria Reaches a New Level

We’d like to remind everyone who takes this meme seriously to consider the following: how frequently do they publicly criticize or even outright slander the president on social media — or perhaps even in public spaces in the real world? How often has a secret police force shown up to squash dissent, as has been commonplace in authoritarian dictatorships like Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany? [...]

What's in Trump's 2019 budget proposal? Funding for wall, infrastructure and fighting opioid abuse
w vid by Gregory Korte - USA TODAY 

WASHINGTON —  A $4.4 trillion budget proposal President Trump sent to Congress Monday would provide a big boost in military spending and new funding for infrastructure, a border wall and opioid treatment. But it does so at the expense of budget deficits for as far as the eye can see — $984 billion next year, with deficits continuing throughout the 10-year budget window. In all, the budget adds more than $7 trillion in new debt by the end of the decade. [...]

RFK's visit to Appalachia, 50 years later: How Kennedy country became Trump country

The implications were not lost on Peter Edelman, a Kennedy aide. “I was certain that these people would be Democrats their whole lives,’’ he recalls, “and their children’s lives.’’ But no. Beginning in 2004, the six counties Kennedy visited began to shift Republican in presidential races. And in 2016, Donald Trump carried each with 70% to 80% of the vote. What was Kennedy country is Trump country. Children of Kennedy Democrats are Trump Republicans. And for those inspired by RFK in 1968, what should be a happy anniversary is instead an occasion to puzzle a drastic reversal of political fortune. [...]

Israel police recommend corruption charges against Netanyahu
by Josef Federman - Associated Press 

JERUSALEM –  Israeli police have recommended that Benjamin Netanyahu be indicted on bribery and breach of trust charges in two corruption cases, a development that deals an embarrassing blow to the embattled prime minister and is likely to fuel calls for him to resign. He accused police of being on a witch hunt and vowed to remain in office and even seek re-election. [...]

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — South Korea is footing the bill for hundreds of members of North Korea’s delegation to the Winter Olympics.

The Left's Strange Obsession with Kim Jon-Un's Sister Yo
CNN’s headline rang out loud and clear: North Korea dictator Kim Jong-Un’s sister Yo was stealing the show at this year’s Winter Olympics. They spent a fair amount of time worshipping the despotic regime’s cheerleading squad — which was little more than a collection of women performing synchronized clapping. Make no mistake — there is nothing redeemable about North Korea or the people that govern it. The country’s citizens are walled in, routinely starved, and sent to literal death camps the minute they are found to be diverging from whatever the state has planned for them. Then again, when you put it this way, the left’s complicit support of the country almost makes sense [...]

FL School Shooting - Valentines - Sackcloth and Ashes - Mardi Gras !!!



First of all, there was more than one Saint Valentine. There were three.
Who was Saint Valentine—and why was he beheaded? 
by Paul Ratner

Who was St. Valentine and why does he somehow bless the hearts of lovers in the middle of February? One can imagine some combination of a cherubic Cupid and a saintly old man with a nice smile fulfilling that role. The truth is, of course, more complicated. First of all, there was not just one Saint Valentine. And the one we most commonly associate with the holiday was a martyr who happened to be beheaded on February 14th in a story that is hardly romantic. ... How did we go from Christian martyrs to Hallmark cards? When Pope Gelasius I dedicated February 14th to the saint and martyr Valentine, he chose that date to replace the traditional Roman feast Lupercalia, a pagan festival popular at the time. [...]

Why Ash Wednesday? Why Ashes?
by Andrea Phillips

... the liturgical feast of Ash Wednesday and the custom of ashes has a rich history, deep meaning and rich symbolism.The custom initiated back in the early Middle Ages when repentant public sinners submitted to forty days of penance. Ash Wednesday is the first day of the season of Lent symbolic of the forty days Our Lord fasted in the desert. Occuring forty six days before Easter, it is consequently moveable-as early as Februay 4 and as late as March 10. The Catholic Church is replete with sacramentals, holy objects, words and rituals that we can see, touch and hear to help convey to our spirit an attitude of openess to Grace. Sacramentals are specially potent when well explained to children who are so visual and touch oriented. They are a powerful means to convey the unseen mysteries of our Faith to their young minds. [...]

What Is Ash Wednesday?
The Origins of the First Day of Lent - Also Known As Ash Wednesday

... The solemn proceedings that occur on Ash Wednesday bring the focus back to the sacrifice of Christ and the mission of the Church. The observance most likely comes from the biblical Day of Atonement. In Leviticus 16, the Lord establishes an annual day of repentance for the Israelites as a lasting ordinance for all their generations. Since the blood of Jesus represents atonement, the heart of Ash Wednesday is a humbling of oneself through fasting and prayer. ... This ceremony originated around the eighth century and extends back to the custom during biblical times of people humbling themselves with sackcloth and ashes. The prophet Daniel speaks of seeking the Lord for the release of his people from Babylonian exile with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes (Daniel 9:3). Jonah 3:6 states: "When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust." [...]

I get the idea of ashes on Ash Wednesday and in scripture but what’s the sackcloth all about?
by Joe Paprocki

While many Christians wear ashes on their foreheads on Ash Wednesday, few, if any, don sackcloth! And yet, the two are often mentioned in the same breath in Scripture (1Mac 3:47; Esther 4:3-4; Is 58:5; Jer 6:26; Dan 9:3; Jon 3:6; Mt 11:21, to name a few). Today, we tend to picture someone wearing sackcloth as someone wearing a burlap bag with holes for the head and arms. In biblical times, however, sackcloth was made from the coarse hair of a black goat. Because it produced some degree of pain or discomfort, it was worn by one who was mourning or as a public sign of repentance, atonement, or submission. Because of this, sackcloth was sometimes worn by the Prophets as an outward sign of their call to repentance. [...]

How Mardi Gras Started: Hard Winters and Charity
However, before it was a day for parties, Mardi Gras started out as a day to help the hungry and the poor. In the past, the last six weeks of winter could be very harsh and food supplies frequently ran short. In Medieval France, Mardi Gras became a traditional day when the poor were allowed to visit their wealthier neighbors and beg for food. In return, they would sing, dance and entertain their hosts. As traditions evolved, the beggars began to wear costumes, hiding their identities and salvaging their pride. They formed parades and a painful begging process evolved into a party. [...]

Tricentennial ... 
New Orleans' food scene celebrates 300 years
w pix by Anne Roderique-Jones - Special to USA TODAY 

Tennessee Williams once said, “America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland.” There’s nothing wrong with Cleveland, of course, but there’s something worth celebrating about New Orleans. In fact, 2018 is the city's tricentennial anniversary, and the local community is celebrating a 300-year history. This month kicks off a year-long party that pays homage to the culture, history, diversity and resilience of the Crescent City. [...]

Made in Louisiana: Flavors of Lafayette and Cajun country

Lafayette, La., in the heart of Cajun country, requires but one contribution from its visitors: a healthy appetite. For this swampy sliver of southern Louisiana is our nation's epicenter of Cajun spice: chicken-and-sausage gumbo, crawfish étouffée and corn maque choux. It's where boudin began, where catfish rule, where King Cake is king. And where nobody rests on their laurels. [...]

Barack Obama’s Presidential Portrait is Borderline Disturbing 

Former President Barack Obama’s official presidential portrait was revealed earlier this week, and we couldn’t be more creeped out. Apparently, Barack and Michelle Obama missed that memo, and ended up looking like posters straight out of an old horror B-movie. Obama’s presidential portrait has been likened to classic tales of terror. Knowing this, we’d like to congratulate the artist here for an accurate representation of the Obama era. Kudos! [...]

During the 20th century the geomagnetic North Pole moved 1100 km, and since 1970 its rate of motion has accelerated from 9 km/year to approximately 52 km/year (2001–2007 average; see also Polar drift). NOAA made some significant and apparently linear changes to the pole location data going back to the years 2001 through 2010. The most noticeable result of the changes that they made was an overall linear slow down of the shift during the past decade, although still at a high rate of speed. They have projected positional data through 2015 and have slowed the pace of movement each subsequent year from 30 miles (2012) to 24 miles (2015).

'Grand Solar Minimum' Goes Mainstream -- Narrative Shift Complete!

As a reminder, this is a new vector to use in approaching people to try to educate them about the Grand Solar Minimum. Here is the exact phrase we've narrowed in on to describe, and although they've said it's a 50-year period of reduced output without speaking to the risks. If we'd spoken to someone about the grand solar minimum before, and now they see it spelled out here, that might help bring it home for them.

New article out from the Weather Channel states that our Earth will undergo a 50 year cool cycle caused by our Sun, and shockingly IPCC scientists are just now understanding the effects of decreased UV on our climate system. BY the way CO2 is plant food and CO2 trails temperature, not leads it. Temperatures rise first, then CO2 follows, not the other way around.
