Now when the radical priest come to get me released We was all on the cover of Newsweek PAUL SIMON, ME AND JULIA Let’s start with a different Pope. Let’s start with the Pope who came of age in Poland while it was enslaved for decades under the Soviet Union after WWII. He’s the Pope who went home after the Sistine Chapel routine to accept the adoration of literally millions of his countrymen. He’s the Pope who helped bring down the tyranny of the Soviets who knew all about military power but nothing about the spiritual kind.

"Francis likes the Vatican?" I read he doesn't live there, but dwells outside Vatican City in some low rent apartment. I also read he is trying to restructure a Christianity without Jesus.

How I miss Saint John Paul II!!! On New Year’s Day 2001 I was fortunate to attend mass said by him in St. Peter’s Square and receive the Eucharist which had been consecrated by him. As far as I’m concerned, he is still my Pope.

Please don t worry quite that much. The Holy Father's in isolation from the rest of the hierarchy are not ever taken as infallible. Even with the rest of the hierarchy, only if they concern matters of faith and morals affecting the entire Church. And that has happened only twice, two issues of Mary the Mother of God, neither of which would interest you. He is just a fellow saying what he thinks. There are indeed a billion or two people including me wh will give him loving and respectful attention. But the Popes wander all over hte map on science and politics, and loving and respctful attention will not carry him over the line where he differs with us. Do not worry quite so much.

My mother was a devout Catholic. A few years after he became Pope I said something rather disparaging about him and she was mad and told me not to say things like that about him. A year before my mom died, he did something stupid and my mom said...'what is wrong with that man?' So even a lot of devout Catholics realize there is something not very Catholic or even Christian about him.

FTA - "Pope Francis is known for what he doesn’t like. He doesn’t like Israel. He doesn’t like Ukraine. He doesn’t like America. He doesn’t like Europe. He doesn’t like the best tool in history for alleviating material suffering – capitalism. However, he does like food. He likes to lecture people about their morals. Like all Argentinians, he likes inflation. He likes Karl Marx. But (or is it “therefore”?) he likes the most lavish palace in all of Christendom, the Vatican." Well, good for you, Pope Frank. But no, not willing to give Pope Frank his due. My parents and grandparents were raised in the Catholic Church. But my folks, after they were married, they shifted to the Lutheran Church. I never knew why. So, I was raised in the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. Interestingly, during my 7th and 8th grade confirmation, tolerance for other faiths was taught because others believe, too, that they are the chosen ones. Unfortunately, Pope Frank missed out. I want to think that his eventual successor will restore the Catholic Church for what it is and should be. For for this household, Lutherans forever. And hoping that the Missouri Synod gets it act together, too, someday.

Bravo! If Church going Catholics would stop giving money, maybe the cardinals would wake up next time. For me? I don't give a carp.

Is Caitlin better than Michael? 9 replies

Michael Jordan was arguably the best one-on-one player in history. He was cat-like in his quickness and leaping ability. Mortals can touch the rim. Michael could jump so high his eyes were even with the rim. I suspect he could snatch a dime off the top of the backboard and leave two nickels behind. All that made him nearly unstoppable. And, though often overshadowed by his offensive prowess, those same abilities – along with unrelenting hustle – also made him one of the great defensive players of the game. When your guy is scoring 35 and holding the opponent he’s guarding to 12, you have an unfair advantage.

Remember the wedding website case that came out of Colorado and went all the way to the Supreme Court? It’s finally over, and it ended beautifully. Bigly beautifully. I’ll let the district court describe the facts: “Plaintiff Lorie Smith . . . offers a variety of creative services, including website design, to the public. Ms. Smith intends to expand the scope of [her] services to include the design, creation, and publication of wedding websites. However, [Smith] will decline any request to design, create, or promote content that promotes any conception of marriage other than marriage between one man and one woman.
Paul Krugman is angry at farmers 21 replies

Former Enron advisor and current New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is angry at farmers. What’s earned his wrath is that they vote for Donald Trump. He says they vote for Trump because they’re afflicted with “white rural rage.” Let’s examine the components of Krugman’s catchy phrase “white rural rage.” As for rural, it is certainly true that Trump does better in rural areas than in, say, downtown Chicago or Baltimore. Then again, everybody does better – wherever they are – than they would in the toilets of downtown Chicago or Baltimore.
Biden’s pandering to a few terrorist

In 2020, about five and a half people voted in Michigan. Biden won by about 155,000 votes. Of those five and a half million who voted in Michigan, about 145,000 were Muslim. About 100,000 of them voted for Biden. Those 100,000 Michigan Muslims are now making a stink. They’re unhappy that Biden is permitting Israel to finish the war that Palestinian terrorists started on October 7. They demand that Biden pressure Israel into a cease fire that would leave the terrorists free to murder, rape, behead, burn alive, and terrorize another day – and another year and another decade.
Is capitalizing “Black” the ultimate condescension? 10 replies
Posted by Big Bopper 3/19/2024 8:52:07 PM Post Reply
I capitalize the word “Black” when referring to Black people. Many of my tribe object to that, since I don’t capitalize “white.” Those objections were expressed by readers most recently in reaction to my latest column. Here are my reasons for using “Black” to refer to Blacks, in reverse order of importance. First, the AP Style Manual calls for “Black” to be capitalized. That Manual is not the Bible, but it’s a highly recognized authority in what used to be called journalism. Relax. As I stated, my reasons are presented here in reverse order of importance. The AP Style Manual is the least important one.

The Justices of the Supreme Court make their living with words. They read them, they write them, they speak them, they listen to them, and they rule with them. We currently have a Justice who uses words very poorly. At her confirmation hearing before the Senate, Justice Jackson was asked to give a definition of “woman.” That’s a legitimate question, since many legal matters depend on whether a given person is a woman or a man. Her answer was: “I can’t. Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”

A persistent myth is that, for the same job, women in America are paid only 84 cents for every dollar that men are paid. I explain below, first, why that myth is false and, second, why it’s dangerous. There are the several reasons why it’s false. The figures use a category of “full time work” for their comparisons. That’s defined as any work over 35 hours per week. That means a man working 55 hours a week is compared to a woman working 36. So, a man making, say, $30/hour for those 55 hours for a total of $1650/week is deemed to be making $210 more

This week was the ridiculous annual spectacle where the president is supposed to tell us the state of our so-called union, as if we don’t already know. That’s a particularly appropriate topic for the current president who was elected on the promise that he would be a “uniter, not divider” who would bring normalcy and decency back to the office. A few seconds into it, he was implying that the people who currently disfavor his re-election, a cohort comprising over half the country – and especially his “predecessor” whose name must not be spoken – were in league with Vladimir Putin.

When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing. They then become capable of believing in anything. ÉMILE CAMMAERTS Or maybe they believe he’s a warlock. Unless he has undergone that “gender affirmation” mutilation that they promote for other people’s children. Which I doubt. The ancient notion of witchcraft was an understandable aspect of the pre-Enlightenment inability to understand the connections between natural causes and effects, together with the absence of a scientific method of data-gathering and experimentation to discover those connections.

The cabal that calls itself the Democratic Party of Colorado nearly pulled a coup last fall. Unburdened by any inconvenient process that might have been due, a Democrat state judge decided that Donald Trump was an insurrectionist. Therefore, under a clause of the 14th Amendment designed to prevent former Confederates from running for federal office, Trump was ineligible to run for president. Never mind that Trump had never been convicted or even charged with the crime of insurrection.
My apology to President Trump 9 replies

I voted for Donald Trump twice. But I’ve never used the words “altruistic” or “generous” to describe him. In fact, whenever my support for Trump came up, I always hastened to add, a little sanctimoniously, that I don’t like the man personally. I might be changing my mind. Here’s why. Trump didn’t need to go into politics. He’s a billionaire. He had everything a man could want, including a gorgeous ex-model for a wife. (Money is a more potent aphrodisiac than power. Sorry, Henry Kissinger – you’d have known that if only you’d had money.)

The commander of a US Navy warship is apparently a not-so-sharpshooter. A commanding officer of the USS John S. McCain, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, was mocked online after he was photographed holding an assault weapon with its scope mounted backward as he took aim at a target known as a “killer tomato.” Cmdr. Cameron Yaste “observes the live-fire exercise event. The ship is in U.S. 7th Fleet conducting routine operations,” read a caption posted by Defense Visual Information Distribution Service alongside an image of him holding up the weapon with the Trijicon VCOG scope installed backward while pointed at a large target balloon.

Non-profit theater companies across the country would receive a $5 billion taxpayer-funded bailout under a new plan being promoted by a group of Democrats in the Senate. The proposed bailout comes as prominent stages are facing unprecedented financial crises following their embrace of woke identity politics, which has alienated audiences and donors. Among the companies poised to receive the new federal dollars would be New York’s Public Theater, which staged the gruesome stabbing death of President Donald Trump in its infamous 2017 production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.

Conservative criminal defense attorney and columnist Marina Medvin called it a "devastating Hostage negotiations update" because that's exactly what it is. In the ongoing negotiations between Israel and the Hamas terror organization, Hamas officials now say that "they wouldn’t commit to releasing 40 living hostages but could commit to 40 hostages total, dead or alive." Medvin added, "Israeli military did not comment on estimates of how many hostages may remain alive." "Instead, the militant group has been unable to confirm that it has enough civilian hostages to fulfill its end of the deal in the initial phase of the proposed plan," according to the Wall Street Journal.

Joe Biden's former Chief of Staff and one of his longest-running confidants was caught on a leaked recording ranting against the president's current communications strategy. It represented the latest sign that Democrats are panicking over the prospect of Donald Trump emerging victorious after November's election. Ronald Klain, who served as Chief of Staff for both Biden's vice presidency and presidency, was unknowingly recorded at a private event in which he launched into an obscenity-filled critique of the current president. Specifically, he claimed that Biden was too focused on mundane "accomplishments" and not on what Americans actually care about.

Disney is arguing it had a First Amendment right to fire 'Mandalorian' actress Gina Carano after she posted tweets that were out-of-step with the trans-rights movement, and an image the company claims was controversial as it pertained to the Holocaust. Carano sued the House of Mouse in February claiming the company broke the law then it retaliated against her for expressing personal political beliefs. Attorneys for the mega-entertainment brand filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss the suit, arguing the company has a 'constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano's speech.'
