One hundred and ten years ago, in the trenches of France, British and German troops heard “Silent Night” being sung. It’s not sure which side sang first or heard it first, but a miracle happened: The Tommies and the Jerries cautiously came out of their trenches and exchanged boisterous Christmas greetings. For many who follow […]

Uneasy is the Head that Wears the Crown
The title for this post comes from Shakespeare’s Henry IV: Part II (Act 3, scene 1). Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude; And in the calmest and most stillest night, With all appliances and means to boot, Deny it to a king? Then, happy […]
The True Pastor of His Flock
I’m speaking of the man pictured to the left, Bishop Ephraim Maalouli of Aleppo. According to Fr Emmanuel Lemelson’s Twitter feed, Syrian jihadists (re: CIA/Mossad cutouts) are threatening to behead His Grace. https://x.com/Lemelson/status/1863722356213973173 “He reportedly responded by courageously saying he was not afraid and would not leave Aleppo or abandon the city’s Christians.” I anxiously […]
A Cautionary Word about the Broligarchy

Really? I Don’t Need any more Reasons to Vote for Trump!
OK, so let me get this straight: I don’t believe in killing babies (before or after birth), I don’t believe in castrating little boys or cutting off the breasts of teenage girls, I don’t want any more wasteful wars, I don’t want strangers crossing our borders and raping our women, I don’t want to see […]
Unia, Ukraine and the Phanar: The Cat’s out of the Bag
According to our friends at orthochristian, the Ecumenical Patriarchate working in tandem with the Globalists, decided several years ago to use the Ukraine as a “testing ground” (as it were) for unification with Rome. The following is a report presented at the conference, “The Influence of the Constantinople Patriarchate on the Fate of Orthodoxy in […]
