POPSMedia Ignoring Veterans Call For Impeachment
... the veterans put it quite succinctly— We CALL upon every member of federal, state and local government, legislative, judicial, law enforcement and military, who have taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitutional Republic from all enemies, foreign and domestic, to act upon those oaths for the stated purpose of restoring the Constitutional Republic. We CALL upon ALL veterans and veteran organizations in America, who still believe in their oath to protect and defend, to unite with us at once - in this Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic.

POPSSr. Jacinta hopes to evangelize 'pagan' Britain “We are certainly heckled more in Britain, than in the U.S., and laughed at on the street,” said the head of St. Clare's convent, who spent her years of formation in New York before returning to her native country. “It's not that unusual to be laughed at, out loud.

And they unfortunately experience us as threatening.” “We just smile at them, love them, and pray for them. And we hope that we can enter into some kind of dialogue with them, to show them that actually we're really concerned about them and can offer them something.”
