I had the distinct pleasure in 2024 hearing: The keynote speaker at the 38th Annual Joint Service Academy Military Ball (also called the Joint Service Academy Military Ball for the Texas Gulf Coast) in 2024 was NASA astronaut Victor J. Glover. Event Details Date: December 26, 2024 (held annually on this date) Location: Moody Gardens Conference Center, Galveston, Texas Schedule highlights: Dinner at 7:00 PM; Glover spoke at 8:00 PM, followed by dancing at 9:00 PM Audience: Cadets, midshipmen, and attendees from U.S. service academies (West Point, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, etc.), with a focus on the Texas Gulf Coast region This matches the event you attended. Victor Glover (U.S. Navy captain and NASA astronaut) was explicitly listed as the speaker on the official event page hosted by myUSNA.com.46 Glover is the same Black astronaut who later became the pilot of NASA’s Artemis II mission (the first crewed Artemis flight, which orbited the Moon in 2026). He was already a prominent …More
So shocking how they persecuted this man who exposed Planned Parenthood and their sales of body parts, and continued to support Planned. Also what courage from David Dalleiden.
The American flag on the astronauts’ spacesuits (or flight suits) in that photo isn’t “the wrong way”—it’s intentionally oriented according to long-standing U.S. Flag Code and military uniform regulations. This applies to spacecraft, aircraft, and service members’ insignia. Why It Looks “Backwards” The key rule: The flag must always appear as if it’s flying forward in the direction of motion, with the stars (union/canton) leading the way—like it’s streaming proudly ahead, never retreating. When the flag patch is on the left shoulder (as seen on most U.S. astronauts here), the stars are positioned toward the front of the body. From the viewer’s perspective, this can make the stripes seem reversed compared to a standard wall-hung flag (where stars are on the left). This is the same reason you see “reversed” flags on military uniforms (especially right sleeves), vehicles, or even the Space Shuttle: the wearer’s forward movement determines the orientation. It’s a symbol of …More
I had Grok break down Trump’s EO, and there were some interesting points: 1) This EO includes the involvement of DHS creating state citizenship lists for every state. DHS’s role in election security is expanding. 2) Mail-in ballots are being reformed, with “unique intelligent mail barcodes”, and these ballots can only be mailed to citizens on the state citizenship lists created by DHS and SSA. 3) The order also directs the AG to prioritize investigations and prosecutions of election-related crimes, particularly related to distributing/collecting illegal ballots to/from non-citizens. In conclusion, Trump is using DHS to secure elections via managing the voter rolls and preventing mail-in ballot fraud, while the DOJ has been instructed to prosecute any attempts to cheat. This is what the Dems have been worried about the entire time. This is why they have been refusing to fund DHS and throwing a fit about ICE. It was always about election security. BioClandestine
I found this one of the clearest summaries of what took place concerning election integrity. It’s not an option, not a choice but rather a decision to save the republic and by extension other peoples. It is my opinion that the Church is directly impacted as well.
ad hominem on Dershowitz (“lied to Trump about Iran’s nuclear arsenal… on the Epstein team”): This dodges the substance entirely. • Dershowitz on Trump impeachment: Yes, he served on Trump’s 2020 Senate defense team as a constitutional scholar arguing the charges didn’t meet “high crimes and misdemeanors.” That’s legal advocacy, not evidence of dishonesty on Iran. • Epstein connection: Dershowitz represented Epstein in the 2008 plea deal (as did many lawyers). He has denied wrongdoing, faced accusations he vigorously contested, and later distanced himself. Epstein was a criminal whose victims deserve justice, but this doesn’t invalidate Dershowitz’s decades of arguments on Israel, civil liberties, or Iran policy. Guilt by past association is a lazy fallacy—evaluate the nuclear threat on merits, not biography. • “Lied about Iran’s nuclear arsenal”: Iran’s program is real and advanced. Pre-2026 strikes, Iran had enriched uranium to near-weapons grade (~60%+), stockpiles …More
The Jesus Method is simple. When speaking with others about the faith, ask a thoughtful question instead of making a statement. A question invites pause, reflection, and honest consideration, while we quietly pray for the Holy Spirit to guide them toward the truth.
March 15, 2026 Msgr. Charles Pope No Comments One of the bigger mistakes one can make is to read Scripture as a spectator, treating it as merely a collection of stories and events that took place thousands of years ago. While these are historical accounts, they are much more than that. Truth be told, these ancient stories are our stories. We are in the narrative. We are Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Deborah, Jeremiah, Ruth, Peter, Paul, Magdalene, Mother Mary, and, if we are prepared to accept it, Jesus. We cannot simply read about what others said or did. For what Peter and Magdalene and others did, we do. Peter denied and ran; so do we. Magdalene loved and never gave up; so should we. Magdalene had a sinful past and a promising future; so do we. Peter was passionate and had a temper; so do we. But Peter also loved the Lord and ultimately gave his life for the Him; so can we. Jesus suffered and died but rose again and ascended to glory; so have we and so will we. The Scriptures are our own …
