Today is All Souls Day

All Souls’ Day is observed annually on November 2. This day is dedicated to the commemoration of all the faithful departed. It follows All Saints’ Day, which is celebrated on November 1.

  • Purpose: The day emphasizes the importance of prayer for the souls of the deceased, helping them attain purification and ultimately enter heaven.
  • Tradition: Many Christians participate in special prayers, attend Mass, and visit cemeteries to honor their loved ones.

According to the internet, soul cakes have a history dating back to the Medieval period, where they were given to children and the poor during the practice of “souling” on Halloween, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day. This tradition involved visiting wealthier families to pray for the souls of the deceased in exchange for these sweet, biscuit-like cakes, which were often marked with a cross to signify they were alms for the needy.

Here are Peter, Paul & Mary singing a very old song about it in 1965:

Lyrics from their version:

[Intro]
Hey ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet shall we be merry
Hey ho, nobody home
(Hey ho, nobody home)
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
(Hey ho, nobody home)
Yet shall we be merry
Hey ho, nobody home
Hey ho, nobody home

A Letter to America, From a Frenchman Who Loves You

Yesterday, the Prime Minister of Poland posted this: “Restoring the rule of law is our duty. After years of PiS-led lawlessness, this is a difficult process, sometimes painful, and it requires decisive action. There is no other way.”

Read it slowly. “There is no other way.” In today’s Europe, that is the sentence a government says right before doing something it could not do through the normal rules.

I’m French. I’m the grandson of a farmer from Brittany. I taught myself to code at twelve, spent a year in Silicon Valley when I was young, and today I build a tech company between Paris and San Francisco. I’m writing to you because I watch what is happening to my continent, and I’m afraid you are about to take the same road.

Let me tell you what “rule of law” means in Europe now.

The Judicial Coup D’etat in Poland

I am not a bona fide political analyst and don’t pretend to be, but I am alarmed by what I see happening in Poland, and I wonder if something like that could happen here in the United States.

It appears that the sovereign state of Poland is under attack by agents of the European Union, who want Poland to give up their national sovereignty, borders and currency to the governance of the EU. Donald Tusk is their agent.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk is a globalist, President Karol Nawrocki is a nationalist. The constitutional judiciary, similar to the United States Supreme Court, has more nationalist judges than globalist judges – including the court president Bogdan Swieczkowski (like the SCOTUS Chief Justice).

Tusk waited until Nawrocki left the country, then, assisted by judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, declared that the court President, Bogdan Swieczkowski was no longer valid and that judge Korwin-Piotrowska was replacing him.

When he was informed of what was happening, President Nawrocki  turned his plane around and returned to Warsaw so that he could stop the judicial overthrow. It is reported that Tusk ordered that Nawrocki’s plane not be allowed to land, but that the pilots ignored the order.

Report from the Washington Examiner:

Polish president scrambles back from overseas trip amid Donald Tusk-led ‘coup d’état’ at police-swarmed Constitutional Tribunal
