Gilbert Keith Chesterton vs Clintons
We already know that the Clinton Foundation is supportive of Malthusianism and GKC certainly wasn't.
Does this reflect an even older quarrel?
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was named for St. Gilbert of Sempringham, who was, of course, from Sempringham.*
This is the seal of Sempringham. It features St. Gilbert.
Gilbert was born at Sempringham, near Bourne in Lincolnshire, the son of Jocelin, an Anglo-Norman lord of the manor, and an unnamed Anglo-Saxon mother. He had a brother, Roger, and a sister, Agnes.
Unusually for that period, his father actively prevented his son from becoming a knight, instead sending him to France, probably the University of Paris but possibly under Anselm of Laon, to study theology. Some physical deformity may have made him unfit for military service, making an ecclesiastical career the best option. When he returned in 1120 he became a clerk in the household of Robert Bloet, Bishop of Lincoln, started a school for boys and girls (the existing primary school at Pointon is still named after him) and was ordained by Robert's successor, Alexander.[4] Offered the archdeaconry of Lincoln, he refused, saying that he knew no surer way to perdition.
Now, that's the connection between St. Gilbert, whose unwillingness to become a higher clergy member was noted by Gilbert Keith Chesterton, and Sempringham.
Where do the Clinton's come in?
At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Sempringham Priory** came to the Clintons***, who demolished it and reused the stone to build their residence on the site. Today little remains of priory or residence.
Which Barons might be distant relatives to Bill Clinton's stepfather, whose name he bears./HGL

Answering Maxine Harrison on the Timeline
Is the Church pressuring women to marry too young? Why we need to rethink the timeline
By Maxine Harrison | 6 August 2026
https://www.womanalive.co.uk/opinion/-is-the-church-pressuring-women-to-marry-too-young-why-we-need-to-rethink-the-timeline/21954.article
Historically, women have often married at a younger age, but this has frequently been shaped by patriarchal systems and economic or social necessity rather than, I believe, God’s best. God’s design for marriage is rooted in love, mutual commitment and glorifying him through that partnership. Although we now live in an era where many women marry later in life, the pressure for women to marry by a certain age - especially within some church communities - still exists.
God's design for marriage is rooted in fertility.
And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth
[Genesis 1:27-28]
And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man 24 Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh
[Genesis 2:23-24]
But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder
[Mark 10:6-9]
Jesus in the passage (which incidentally features Young Earth Creationism, even to the exclusion of Gap Theory and Day-Age Theory, let alone Evolutionism) is summarising God's design by intentionally conflating two Bible quotes from Genesis 1 and 2. The first of these actually features fertility.
Maxine Harrison is a paragraph or two later featuring two women who divorced, one of whom married at 25 and the other at 26.
The one who married at 25 seems to have had a child with her husband only at 29. I didn't get around to see the other's pregnancy story or otherwise.
The thing is, getting children becomes harder for a woman if she waits to 30. Not just fertility problems, but also more painful childbirths. And this can lead to conflict, if one (as reasonably) isn't willing to use contraceptives. Late marriages and first childbirths lead to fewer children and sometimes less stable marriages.
Meanwhile, both of the influencers seem to have believed divorce was an actual option. That's not what Jesus said in Mark.
In her YouTube series, Chanel bravely shares the domestic abuse she experienced and admits she married too quickly.
Let's be clear, "too quickly" does not equal "too early". As in "too early in life" ... it may have been too early in the relationship, though.

St. Cajetan
7.VIII.2026
Neapoli, in Campania, sancti Cajetani Thienaei Confessoris, Clericorum Regularium Fundatoris, qui, singulari in Deum fiducia, pristinam Apostolicam vivendi formam suis colendam tradidit, et, miraculis clarus, a Clemente Papa Decimo inter Sanctos relatus est.
PS, she also said:
Some concerns about women marrying later undoubtedly come from a place of genuine care, particularly regarding fertility and the biological realities of having children. But today there are more options available, like adoption and egg freezing.
Well, that's fairly marginal compared to the loss, and egg freezing is on top of that illicit.
Adoption should be an option for few who have genuinely tried to get children./HGL

On a Youtube Comment, someone asked what I answer here (see link)
Weaker Vessel and Stronger Vessel
Problem: if Jesus should be fully human and sinless, He needed a sinless human parent, but if so, why didn't Mary need sinless parents?
Solution: Jesus needed more assurance as the "stronger vessel"./HGL
Les Quatre Coins de la Terre / The Four Corners of Land
For English speakers: After these things, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that they should not blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor on any tree [Apocalypse (Revelation) 7:1], this involves a wooden translation. In idiomatic English, the usual word for dry land masses as opposed to sea(s) is "land" rather than "earth".

Covid Deaths, US
How Many Americans Have Died of COVID-19?
Ronald Bailey | 3.12.2025 5:15 PM
https://reason.com/2025/03/12/how-many-americans-have-died-of-covid-19/
A February 2024 article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences calculated excess deaths between March 2020 and August 2022, concluding that around 1.2 million Americans had died of COVID-19.
Out of how many total?
Mortality in the United States, 2020
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db427.htm
In 2020, a total of 3,383,729 resident deaths were registered in the United States—528,891 more deaths than in 2019.
Mortality in the United States, 2021
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db456.htm
In 2021, a total of 3,464,231 resident deaths were registered in the United States—80,502 more deaths than in 2020.
Mortality in the United States, 2022
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db492.htm
In 2022, a total of 3,279,857 resident deaths were registered in the United States—184,374 fewer deaths than in 2021.
Sum:
3,383,729 + 3,464,231 + 3,279,857 = 10,127,817
Can we get away the first two months of 2020 and the last four of 2022?
Not the best to use the average, but this is what I find right now:
2022 Average per Month: ~273,321 deaths
10,127,817 - 4*273,321 = 9,034,533
2020 Average per Month, couldn't find any.
9,034,533 - 2/12*3,383,729 = 8,470,578
Ratio: 1,200,000 / 8,470,578 = 14.16668 %, less than 1/7 of those who died.
And please note, some cases can involve selective reporting about what counts as a Covid death.
Bad? Yes. So bad that traumatising and totalitarian measures needed to be imposed? No.

David Daleiden Links Dr. Fauci To Experiments With Aborted Baby ‘Scalps’ On ‘Tucker’

Similarily, all the vaccines I know of, for this disease, not for all, used fetal cells from a human abortion to cultivate the pathogens. Amoebae and bacteria can be cultivated on sugar solution in a petri dish, but virus aren't alive and therefore have to be cultivated in living cells. It could have been some other living cell, but it wasn't, it was from a human fetus./HGL

Before Spain's Invasion, the GOP Gave Morocco $40 MILLION

On the morning of 21 August 1415, King John I of Portugal led his sons and their assembled forces in a surprise assault that would come to be known as the Conquest of Ceuta. ...
During the Union with Spain, which lasted from 1580 to 1640, Ceuta attracted many residents of Spanish origin and became the only city in the Portuguese Empire that sided with Spain when Portugal regained its independence in the Portuguese Restoration War of 1640. ...
On 1 January 1668, King Afonso VI of Portugal recognised the formal allegiance of Ceuta to Spain and ceded Ceuta to King Carlos II of Spain by the Treaty of Lisbon. The city was attacked by Moroccan forces under Moulay Ismail during the Siege of Ceuta (1694–1727).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceuta
What exactly Muslim power was there before the Portuguese? On and off, there had been Muslims powers including territories in Spain. Like long the Caliphate of Córdoba, in Spain.
Starting in 1084, the Almoravid Berbers ruled the region until 1147, when the Almohads conquered the land. Apart from Ibn Hud's rebellion in 1232, they ruled until the Tunisian Hafsids established control. The Hafsids' influence in the west rapidly waned, and Ceuta's inhabitants eventually expelled them in 1249. After this, a period of political instability persisted, under competing interests from the Marinids and Granada as well as autonomous rule under the native Banu al-Azafi. The Fez-based Marinid sultanate finally conquered the region in 1387, with assistance from Aragon.
So, 1387, Ceuta became strictly Moroccan, till ... 1415. 13 + 15 = 28 years./HGL
