ALERT: Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz
“Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed and threatened to fire at any ship passing through it. The narrow waterway is a vital chokepoint for global oil and gas, but also for other commodities such as fertiliser. FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer speaks with Noam Raydan, a maritime risk expert at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, about the potential impact of the Strait's closure and how Iran could further escalate the situation.”
Watch video…
Iran shuts down the Strait of Hormuz. What more could it do?

This is why kids are shooting up with fentanyl.
This is why we should be concerned about the future, this is why we must prepare.
There are no longer common values of decency.
We are being psy-opped into an Alice in Wonderland topsy-turvy world.
Children must be given norms of behavior and heroes they can believe in (let’s start with Christ).
I remember a time when it wasn’t a complete clown world, there was at least a veneer, a vestige, of decency and sanity.
I remember looking up to President Reagan.
We need to stop supporting people just because they throw us a few crumbs.
Like Leonard Cohen said, “Things are gonna slide in all directions, Won’t be nothin you can measure anymore, The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it’s overturned the order of the soul.”
Also like Leonard Cohen said, “Ring the bells that still can ring.” (It is implicit in this line that soon they will ring no more, if we are silent, this echoes the writings of Fr. Alfred Delp as well.)
Thought for the Day
“So, good luck Big Apple as you await the luscious caramel coating of Woke-socialism to be laid on you.”
The Jubilee Year: There's Still Time!
Every 25 years, Holy Church celebrates a “Jubilee Year” of special graces. This year’s theme is “Pilgrims of Hope.” A pilgrimage is one way to obtain the plenary indulgence of this Jubilee Year. The Year began Christmas Eve 2024, and ends formally in Rome on the feast of Epiphany, January 6th, 2026. However, it ends locally, outside of Rome, on the feast of the Holy Family, December 28th, 2025. The Year began with the opening of the Holy Door at Saint Peter’s Basilica and will close in the same way. There are several Holy Doors involved in the Jubilees, which represent a spiritual passage.
This means we still have about 4 months left! If you have not participated, there are still several things you can do to obtain the plenary indulgence or simply to be a part of this Jubilee Year with its unique privileges. My family and I will be going to Rome soon to perform the pilgrimage there. So many from all over the world have gone to Rome this year and what great blessings have been obtained! If you cannot travel, check with your diocese to see what activities are being done there or what their stipulations/holy sites are on the plenary.
Jubilee volunteers will be continued to be needed throughout the world.
From EWTN, here is general info, a travel app, the Papal Bull Jubilee Year document and the Jubilee prayer…

Here is everything you need to know about obtaining the Jubilee Plenary Indulgence…
Decree on the Granting of Indulgence During the Ordinary Jubilee Year 2025
Excerpt:
“All the faithful, who are truly repentant and free from any affection for sin…who are moved by a spirit of charity and who, during the Holy Year, purified through the sacrament of penance and refreshed by Holy Communion, pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff, will be able to obtain from the treasury of the Church a plenary indulgence, with remission and forgiveness of all their sins, which can be applied in suffrage to the souls in Purgatory in the following ways…”
This document goes on to explain all the stipulations, including the 3 ways to obtain the plenary: 1) Pilgrimage to Rome, the Holy Land or other sites 2) Pious visits to sacred places 3) Works of mercy and penance.

“Douglas Macgregor is a decorated combat veteran, an author of five books, a PhD, and a defense and foreign policy consultant.” (From his website. He also has a YouTube channel.)
Judge Andrew Napolitano, who should need no introduction, interviews Colonel Douglas Macgregor on geopolitics today. Macgregor has recently caught my attention as a sophisticated, objective and experienced voice on geopolitics. He spells out the predicament that currently faces the USA. Will we change course or face the consequences of stubbornness?
Catholic Land Movement Summer Events
[Edited since posting.]
There are 2 upcoming events, one in New York and one in Indiana. I’m a member and attended my first conference last year. The topics were very interesting, including general gardening/farming, advanced water infrastructure and the philosophy and history of agrarianism. They had vendors, great food and spiritual activities on beautiful grounds. Also, lots of children!
“The Catholic Land Movement exists to facilitate the rural resettlement of Catholics onto productive property which they own.”
