Saturdays proceed to move amend than the residue of the week. Yea, fifty-fifty for this no-longer-working-for-wages Long Island resident. In component that’s because I no longer receive got to cram all my non-work errands into Sat in addition to Sunday. In fifty-fifty greater mensurate it’s because Beth in addition to I volition move together. But delight don’t enjoin her that; she thinks I married her for her cooking, in addition to I’d similar to maintain the fiction a piece longer. Anyway, hither are a few squibs no 1 of which appears to require a full-length essay.
1. “To protect him from repercussion.”
Many persons conceal their identities when they write for the Web. I empathise the impulse fifty-fifty if I don’t concur with it, but when a Catholic priest feels that need, y'all know something’s rotten inward Denmark:
From the 2nd that the Roman Church, in addition to to a sure as shooting extent the Byzantine Church, took on the bureaucracy of the Roman Empire equally a model for its working structures, in that location was a foothold for the Devil. In the hands of a Gregory the Great it was safe, but when popes, cardinals, in addition to bishops became worldly in addition to ambitious in addition to thus in that location was to a greater extent than than a whiff of danger, in that location were darkness in addition to a terrible thing. What was this terrible thing? It was nix to a greater extent than in addition to nix less than the re-crucifying of Christ, non yesteryear out in addition to out sinners such equally gangsters, murderers, in addition to heartless dictators, but yesteryear Popes, bishops, in addition to cardinals, in addition to yesteryear far, far equally good many priests infatuated with ambition, wealth, power, in addition to sensuality.We must reverberate profoundly on the fact that the non bad St. John Chrysostom in addition to the utterly gentle Robert Bellarmine idea that most bishops buy the farm to Hell. We priests are inward no amend state, equally witnessed yesteryear that other non bad saint, Alphonsus Liguori, who said that most priests buy the farm to Hell. Today the non bad temptation alongside Catholics, in addition to the mainstream Protestant churches, is the First Temptation of Christ; namely, to plough stones into bread. As long equally nosotros are involved solely inward the social Gospel, in addition to thus that is all that is needed. This Utopian trend Christianity best incarnated inward Liberation Theology is precisely what Christ speaks against, when Satan tempts Him to assuage his hunger yesteryear turning stones into bread. We must inward our materialistic historic catamenia reverberate on Christ’s response to Satan, “Man shall non alive yesteryear breadstuff alone, but yesteryear every discussion that proceeds from the oral fissure of God” (Matthew 4: 4). When nosotros buy the farm engrossed on feeding in addition to vesture the World’s population in addition to getting everyone jobs, noble equally this endeavour is, it is non enough. There is only 1 thing that is enough, in addition to that is that nosotros give ourselves totally in addition to utterly to God, holding nix back. However, because nosotros are human most of us neglect miserably, in addition to earlier long in that location are programmes position into identify that are anything but Christian.
God does non enquire us to move successful, he asks us to move faithful.
The article is somewhat discursive, all the same it pierces similar Christ’s crown of thorns. Please, Christians of every denomination, read it all.
2. While we’re on subjects of involvement to Christians...
The Left hates nix to a greater extent than than Christianity. Christianity gives the prevarication to every final 1 of the Left’s claims in addition to representations. When nosotros are baptized, component of what nosotros swear to renounce are “all of Satan’s empty promises.” Smart Christians volition regime annotation the similarity betwixt those promises in addition to those of the political Left.
Therefore, it comes equally no surprise that a Christian doing Christian operate should elicit the Left’s fury:
Kathy Griffin is triggered 1 time once to a greater extent than yesteryear a proficient human being feeding the homeless. It is something Justice Brett Kavanaugh has done for years. Griffin on the other mitt is a mindless, potty-mouthed, unfunny hateful girl.TMZ speaks the truth virtually him feeding the homeless in addition to she goes off the rails. She called him 1 of “Trump’s monsters.”
Why practise the media proceed to pay attending to this bitter, graceless woman? Oh, excuse me: because they’re the media. I forgot for a moment. Never mind!
3. Nov six is looking pretty damned good.
Here’s Mike Hendrix’s accept on it:
As I ever say, there’s only 1 poll that matters; it happens on election day. But later on the Kavanaugh debacle; the endless parade of sad, demented twerps intent on chopping their dicks off in addition to a whole menagerie of other hostile freaks; the off-putting, man-hating bull daggers sneering in addition to cursing at normals; the sniffing, supercilious disdain for the people who maintain this dry ground running; spoiled-brat footballers pissing over the flag in addition to the anthem; the tearing assaults yesteryear AntiFa, the Democrat-Socialists novel paramilitary wing inward identify of the KKK—well, it seems obvious plenty to me that the momentum is NOT running their way. Then y'all throw things similar this into the mix:Obama inward June 2016 told his fans, “When somebody says similar the someone y'all simply mentioned who I’m non going to advertise for, that he’s going to choose all these jobs back. Well how precisely are y'all going to practise that? What are y'all going to do? There’s no reply to it.”
President Trump simply answered.
“Job gains for the manufacturing manufacture inward the final 12 months are the most since 1995,” CNBC reported.
What did y'all expect?
Donald Trump is a capitalist who knows business. He gets things done.
Obama is a community organizer. He hangs curtains.Yeah, I believe I’ll stick with my prediction: a shellacking of HISTORIC proportions this November, in addition to an fifty-fifty worse 1 inward 2020. That’s assuming there’s anyone left willing to run nether the ragged, sagging Democrat-Socialist touchstone yesteryear then.
But don’t neglect to vote. “If it’s non close, they can’t cheat.” – Hugh Hewitt.
4. They’re learning!
President Trump in addition to Justice Kavanaugh Mike Hendrix’s accept on it:
As I ever say, there’s only 1 poll that matters; it happens on election day. But later on the Kavanaugh debacle; the endless parade of sad, demented twerps intent on chopping their dicks off in addition to a whole menagerie of other hostile freaks; the off-putting, man-hating bull daggers sneering in addition to cursing at normals; the sniffing, supercilious disdain for the people who maintain this dry ground running; spoiled-brat footballers pissing over the flag in addition to the anthem; the tearing assaults yesteryear AntiFa, the Democrat-Socialists novel paramilitary wing inward identify of the KKK—well, it seems obvious plenty to me that the momentum is NOT running their way. Then y'all throw now in addition to and thus he manages to connect:[T]here was prove that unopen to of the civilization state of war issues the Democrats are relying on may non move thus win-win. Yes, a focus on sexual assail in addition to harassment inward the workplace in addition to elsewhere is of import inward its ain correct — in addition to it strongly resonates with suburban women who may create upward one's hear the midterms. But it tin also energize conservative in addition to moderate women inward defence of what they encounter equally threats to their ain husbands in addition to sons; it tin farther alienate to a greater extent than traditional working-class men from the Democrats; in addition to it could cement a worrying shift alongside immature white men toward the GOP since 2016.To which Glenn Reynolds deposeth in addition to sayeth:
Yeah, weird how when y'all constantly onset in addition to denigrate a grouping of people, they starting fourth dimension voting for the other side.Yeah, a existent head-scratcher, there.
7. I’d suggest taking them at their word.
They’ve tried it before, remember? Why non take a 2nd swing at it?
Liberals are thus accustomed to getting their agency that they cannot command themselves. They fearfulness an era is coming to an end, in addition to they desire to forestall this. So earlier the newly reinforced, John Roberts-led courtroom has heard a illustration or issued a unmarried ruling, they are already doing everything inward their ability to delegitimize the establishment they 1 time looked upon equally almost God....The Democrats who caused in addition to position on the entire Kavanaugh farce are already promising to abuse their ability further, if the voters volition only give to a greater extent than of it to them. They are promising a scurrilous impeachment of Kavanaugh, in addition to also to Mike Hendrix’s accept on it:
As I ever say, there’s only 1 poll that matters; it happens on election day. But later on the Kavanaugh debacle; the endless parade of sad, demented twerps intent on chopping their dicks off in addition to a whole menagerie of other hostile freaks; the off-putting, man-hating bull daggers sneering in addition to cursing at normals; the sniffing, supercilious disdain for the people who maintain this dry ground running; spoiled-brat footballers pissing over the flag in addition to the anthem; the tearing assaults yesteryear AntiFa, the Democrat-Socialists novel paramilitary wing inward identify of the KKK—well, it seems obvious plenty to me that the momentum is NOT running their way. Then y'all throw pack the Supreme Court if given the chance. Why? Because they are angry, in addition to they don’t abide by the rules in addition to norms of government, in addition to they are non mature or clever plenty to hold off to divulge this until they receive got power.I can’t intend of a amend argue to plough every elected Democrat out of federal office. Surely the urgency is plain, particularly equally regards the Senate.
“When a human being tells y'all who he is...believe him.” – Maya AngelouThe same goes for a political party.
8. WANT!
The C.S.O. couldn’t resist showing me this article:
Diehard Auburn football game fans Rick in addition to Susan Turner handgrip flavor tickets on the 35-yard delineate at the university’s Jordan-Hare Stadium. But when the Tigers are on the field, the Turners are inward the parking lot.Every abode game, the Birmingham, Ala., duo tailgates from their 45-foot 2016 Tiffin Zephyr, a luxury motorhome. The Zephyr offers an amusement pump in addition to a total kitchen with solid-surface countertops in addition to stainless-steel sink, equally good equally a range, microwave, dishwasher in addition to refrigerator. And dissimilar the stadium, there’s no delineate to role the Zephyr’s bathroom. Most important, electrical hookups in addition to an automatic generator ensure that the motorhome is fully air-conditioned.
“It’s hot inward Alabama inward September,” says Mr. Turner, 64, senior vice president of Greenbrier Rail Services, a companionship that makes freight railcars in addition to equipment....
Recent retirees Doug in addition to Dani Stiebeling establish their happy identify inward Petoskey, Mich. The couple’s total fourth dimension abode is inward Orlando, Fla., but they wanted a summertime finish to escape the Florida heat. In June they paid $250,000 for a 42-foot 2014 Itasca Ellipse, in addition to drove it to Hearthside Grove, a luxury motorhome resort inward Petoskey alone for Class Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 models. Their wooded lot, purchased inward “the $250,000 range” measures one-fifth of an acre in addition to includes a paved driveway with electrical, H2O in addition to sewer hookups. Like many of the lots at Hearthside, the Stiebelings also receive got a 200-square-foot bungalow on their holding where guests tin rest when they visit.
The Stiebelings, along with their Canis familiaris Pumpkin in addition to truthful cat Sammi, brand Hearthside Grove their abode base of operations for much of the season, which runs from mid-May to mid-October. They hitch a machine to the dorsum of their motorhome to role for trips to the grocery store in addition to other errands.
“There is thus much to practise inward northern Michigan,” says Mr. Stiebeling, 65, who retired inward Apr later on a 35-year career selling medical devices in addition to artificial peel to burn downwards centers. “The H2O is thus clean, in addition to there’s trout fishing, golfing, restaurants galore—and non the typical chain restaurants. They’re ma-and-pa places.”...
Spending fourth dimension with his wife, Linda, was 1 of the original reasons Nicholas Grimaldi purchased his 45-foot 2017 Entegra Anthem.
The Grimaldis alive inward Port Jefferson Station, N.Y., in addition to are retired from the family’s canvas in addition to upholstery business. Mr. Grimaldi, 64, also plant for an insurance companionship inward claims, in addition to he had Wi-Fi installed inward his RV thus he could operate piece on the road.
But the existent driver behind the determination to purchase is Linda Grimaldi’s bucket listing of destinations—the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore in addition to Minnesota to encounter the aurora borealis. “Because of my wife’s medical condition, she can’t fly. She has a difficult fourth dimension breathing,” he said. In the RV with portable oxygen, “we tin buy the farm out in addition to non skip a beat.”
Yet Beth wonders why I maintain hollo for her when she’s probable to retire.
That’s all for today and tomorrow, Gentle Reader. Allow me the luxury of a non-digital weekend. I demand to intend difficult virtually the side yesteryear side novel, in addition to in that location hasn’t been much fourth dimension for that lately. Until Monday, move well.
