General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn...It has become very clear that the majority of Americans are not happy with the war with Iran and it is also clear the @POTUS is searching for an exit strategy to extricate ourselves from this war. How should we exit? The United States can easily exit its direct military involvement in this conflict by treating any drawdown as a deliberate, conditions-based success rather than a retreat. This is not wishful thinking...

@POTUS
is searching for an exit strategy to extricate ourselves from this war. How should we exit? The United States can easily exit its direct military involvement in this conflict by treating any drawdown as a deliberate, conditions-based success rather than a retreat. This is not wishful thinking. This idea aligns with how great powers have historically managed limited wars when core objectives are met or costs outweigh benefits. The key is timing, sequencing, and maintaining deterrence during any drawdown so adversaries (ie., Iran & its proxies) see it as strength, and not a weakness.
@realDonaldTrump
has made it clear that we are not in an open-ended war. The U.S. & Israeli strikes on Iran targeted nuclear sites, missile infrastructure, and leadership targets, including killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei. We accomplished our stated objectives. The rapid (tactical) degradation of Iranian capabilities caused severe damage but also caused an immediate (and somewhat unexpected) retaliation from Iran. Despite Iran paying a heavy price in infrastructure destruction, international isolation, and economic disruption, the regime has sustained control over their country. And unlike Afghanistan & Iraq, regime was never a stated objective. This is not a Vietnam (helicopters out of Saigon) or Afghanistan (truck bomb at Abbey Gate) type scenario. There are no large U.S. combat formations trapped in endless occupation. Our exit is logistically straightforward. 1. Wind down the blockade. 2. Reduce carrier presence. 3. Shift advisory/support roles to partners who have a greater need for regional security and access. 4. Assess the factions remaining inside Iran and whether they require assistance and how that assistance can be delivered. So what? Adversaries test resolve while allies watch for abandonment. These dynamics must be understood. What next and are their viable paths? 1.  Declare mission accomplished on core objectives and negotiate a favorable armistice. Keep the current talks going and bring in other participants as needed. 2.  Maintain a light footprint in the region and hand off the “peace dividend” and reconstruction to multilateral forums (ie., the Gaza Board of Peace). 3.  State that America is conducting a strategic reset and reprioritizing global demands (this is necessary anyway, does not mean defeat and could simply be stated by announcing a pivot). America doesn’t need the quagmire that the Middle East has been any longer. The real political losers were those that got us into AFG & Iraq in the first place. The U.S. is making a strategic calculation here to continue peace efforts but resetting for future opportunities and challenges. Are there Risks? 1. Iran will attempt to exploit as their win and our loss. To deter this, America must demonstrate that deterrence in the future is about capability and will (which Americans have in abundance if our vital interests are at risk) and not permanent presence. 2. Allied perception will cause uncertainty. The Israeli government and Gulf states will worry about abandonment. Simply reassure them w/ continuation of both security guarantees and arms flows tied to their own restraint. 3. On the domestic front, the NEOCON hawks will cry in their soup, while America First voices will cheer Trump’s deal making success. These are just some initial thoughts. Great powers throughout history involved in previous campaigns have exited limited wars when gains begin to diminish. A path clearly exists. Execution now depends on clear communications from the Trump administration that strength enabled America’s exit. God Bless our Troops and God Bless America🙏🏼🇺🇸

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia and for the restoration of the Church.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Has the Trad Media fallen into a COVID-like mass formation with Leo XVI? While it's humorous to see the former anti-Francis Trad pundits suddenly acting like teen age girls infatuated with Leo, it could lead to a Trojan Horse effect


It appears that a group of Bishops or Cardinals needs to give Leo XIV Dubia questions on if he still supports "Invalid and Sacrilegious" Confession

Francis Notes:

l– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:


“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”

“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

Could Francis be an Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?

Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...

A Hour which will Live in Infamy: 10:01pm November 3, 2020

10:01pm November 3, 2020, a hour which will live in infamy, the United States of America presidential electoral integrity was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the Democrat Machine and some corrupt collaborators within the Republican Party. It will be recorded that "under the pretense of COVID, executive branch officials across a number of key battleground states violated election procedures passed by the legislative branches of those states in a number of ways that opened up the process to fraud on a massive scale, never before seen in the history of this country" which makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks before. During the time before and after the attack the Democrat Machine and its corrupt collaborators in the Media have deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.  The attack on United States has caused severe damage to the Ameri...

If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?

Did Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) say that Francis is a heretic ?   On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Ratzinge r (and future Pope Benedict) , head of the Congregation for the Faith, said that the endorsement of  " homosex civil unions" was against Catholic teaching, that is heterodoxy : "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimatization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil... The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions ." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons," June 3, 2003) Gloria.tv reported: " Francis made on October 21 his latest declaration in sup...
