In an attempted public relations stunt, Ukrainian soldiers were captured in an attempt to raise the flag over some abandoned buildings in the strategic city of Konstantinovka. The Ukrainian soldiers were captured by the Russian military and forced to drop their flags and raise the flag of the Russian Federation. The failed PR stunt comes at a time when Ukraine is trying to save face after a recent shakeup in its military leadership. Ukraine's Attempted PR Stunt Ends in Embarrassment --- I watch this sort of thing nearly every day. But this was too funny to pass up without posting it.

The third incredible thing: Whilst it is inconceivable that a Pope should vote for the election of a usurper, it is just as inconceivable that the cardinals should follow his disastrous example; yet this is precisely what happened in October 1958. And this extraordinary event took place during the conclave²: the 50 cardinals, together with the Pope, did not hesitate to sell the Church to its enemies. Not one of them raised his voice to denounce this crime before the Christian people, for whilst there were debates—and indeed there were—they took place only behind closed doors and no one knew of them, save that unmistakable outward signs gave cause to suspect as much on the morning of 27 October. It may be said that whilst the new Pontiff played the part of Judas, the cardinals played the part of traitors, for they knew full well that the Pope was already among them despite his forced and therefore invalid resignation.

A patriotic bishop unilaterally selected by a communist regime is no problem whatsoever for the Holy See. Traditionalists are. Pope Leo approves without a word. The stones are crying out . It's a strange world. Poor Jesus; one crucifixion obviously isn't enough for some.
Leo XIV Promoted This Hopping, Dancing Bishop in Mexico: In January 2026, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Trinidad Antonio Márquez Guerrero, 60, as auxiliary bishop of San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico. He was consecrated a bishop on May 8. On Sunday, July 19, he celebrated a Eucharist during the diocesan Youth Day in the bullring in Yahualica, attended by some 1,300 young people. Still wearing his mitre and liturgical vestments, he started hopping and dancing around like an overexcited young person.
Y luego nos preguntamos por qué algunos católicos se van con los lefebvristas...

The post is 19 hours old. Scott Ritter discusses Iran's new ballistic missile and the massive destruction of Patriot batteries, air defenses, radars, and billions in military hardware as the blown open cover up of US troops casualties sends Trump scrambling toward all out war. --- Trump had to admit he had to sign the MOU. We are running out of gas and fuel. But also for the US and Israel to restock. But it takes up to three years to make one patriotic missile. So what is going on? --- Scott Ritter: Iran DESTROYS F-15 Hanger Base, 100 US Troops LOST as Trump PANICS
On 'Star Wars Day' here's Klaus Wunderlich playing a version of the Star Wars theme like you've never heard. I'll give Klaus this: he knows how to handle his organ.
