When the Dem in Mississippi (yes that's Mississippi)WINS he will be the 1st black senator since 1881 elected in that place/ Talk about unheard of blowout in mid terms Back to 1974 AND the Nixon blowout. Corruption was the most voted against scenario(55%) in the midterms, this is deemed the most corrupt administration in history by far. People said enough. Pay for play pardons, crypto, quid pro quo ,jets, grift and on and on. And the DOJ is right in the mix, AT a personal trump lawyer, ,cant make this up.. Last one to come ALASKA
Just came back from a talk by Liz Oyer, the former US Pardon Attorney. Her anti-Trump bias was pretty clear, but as a Harvard lawyer, she wouldn't go beyond the bounds of reason. She criticized Biden for avoiding pardons as politically hot, until of course he needed to pardon Hunter, his brother, Fauci, et al. As a career DOJ-er, her main criticism of all administrations is that they didn't show enough deference to the career DOJ-ers in the pardon shop. She talked about some ways to 'reform' the pardon process but kept returning to the concept that you really can't put conditions on the president's pardon power.
She never did mention that one of the reasons for pardon 'abuse' is because of lawfare. She may just not be able to see outside her silo, or she may be trapped in the 'our stuff isn't lawfare - it's just the law!' thing.
Oyer did say something interesting: she said it's no good to return the DOJ to pre-Trump form, because that DOJ failed. She did not elaborate. CC, JSM

Read today that a poll found that 43% of Gen Z think Sharia law is fine. I wonder how many are also women, feminists, gays, dog lovers and enjoy bacon. Also 43% of Gen Z can't make change for a dollar, tell time, or find North America on a map, but they voted in mass this time.

It's interesting that Scott Bessent went on Fox and predicted (before the election) that Iran would fold in two weeks. That was clearly wrong. I have no doubt Trump pressured him to say something. I might be imagining it, but it sounds to me like Bessent's voice is under a little stress.
Nobody can predict the future, only God. I doubt very much Bessent would not have made that prediction unless Trump had asked him to.

Part of the horizontal stabilizer belong to N722BD has been found four mile from the crash site in West Palm Beach, which confirms the video evidence showing a severally damaged empennage just before impact with the ground.
@Quaestor,, the question is whether the loss of the left elevator caused the fatal dive, or whether the the speed of the dive caused the elevator to snap off. The dive is supposed to have begun about 10 miles horizontally and almost 7 vertically from the impact crater and so inding part of the elevator 3.7 miles ftom the creator eggesrs thar the dive probably caused the elevator to break off.
The NTSB announced that it has discovered that the same aircraft had flown into severe turbulence before, and now they have to determine whether the incidence was reported, as required, so that an. FAA inspector could determine whether it was fit to fly or had sustained structural damage and sported needed repair and recertification. This opens the possibility that the Learjet had been weakened by the previous turbulence, was not properly inspected because the incident had not been reported, and the turbulence encountered due to the pilot’s decision to risk flying between thunderstorms instead of a wide detour around them, caused a structural failure.
So I'm in a big house, owned by Dr. Satan, very wealthy man, very smart. We're having an exclusive party. And I noticed a naked man run across the front yard.
"Excuse me, Dr. Satan," I said. "I don't mean to interrupt. You appear to have a naked man, I think they call him a streaker, you have one streaker in your yard."
"That's impossible," Dr.Satan said. He was a very smug man. I did not like him.
"I tell you, I saw a naked man running across your yard."
"I have the best security team in the world. They were trained at the IDF, all right? Murderers and rapists, okay?"
"Murderers and rapists," I repeated. "You have criminals in charge of your security?"
"Fucking right I do," Dr. Satan said. "Now, what do you want to bet that you will never find a naked man on my property?"
"One million dollars," I said.
"Excuse me?" Dr. Satan said.
"What?"" I asked.
"It sounded like you said you wanted to bet a million dollars."
"No, no, no, no."
"That's what I thought," Dr. Satan said.
"I want to bet a billion dollars."
Dr. Satan gave us all an exquisite shudder. He was ugly. I do not think he realized how ugly he was. He was physically repulsive. But every time he looked in a mirror, all he saw was a beautiful man. Dr. Satan looked at me. He looked around the room. He looked at me again. "You know I do not have a billion dollars. So I cannot bet a billion dollars. I would take your wager, sir."
"You misunderstand," I said. "I am betting a billion dollars. That's not your bet. You are wagering something else."
"What?" Dr. Satan asked. He licked his lips. He was so eager to hear my request.
"You bet your soul."
"I bet my soul?" Dr. Satan laughed. It was a horrible gay cackle. I like the gays, but his voice kind of freaked me out. "Yes!" he screamed. "YES YES YES!"
"It's a bet," I said.
"You dumb fucker!" Dr. Satan screamed. "I have the best killers in the world. Killers and rapists trained at the IDF. That's the Israeli Defense Force, motherfucker."
"Okay," I said.
"Jews!" Dr. Satan screamed. "Where the fuck are my Jews?"
"Yes sir!" all the Jews screamed. There were six of them.
"You do not have enough Jews," I said.
"Six Jews is plenty!" Dr. Satan said. "You will never see that naked man again. Jews. Go search the grounds for a naked man. And if he's dead, bring his corpse to me. And he better not be alive. I mean, you're not going to find him alive. But you better find a dead man. A naked dead man. Got it."
"Yes sir!" the Jews all shouted in unison. And they ran out of the room.
"You don't have enough Jews," I said again. "You will never find him."
"I have plenty of Jews," Dr. Satan said. "Four Jews would be enough."
"Twenty Jews would not be enough," I said. "And you only have six."
"Motherfucker," Dr. Satan said. "Pardon my French. His hands were shaking. "Are you saying we cannot find a dead naked man?"
"Exactly," I said.
"Fuck you," Dr. Satan said. He ran out of the room.
I sat down in a chair. The chitchat in the party resumed. All the beautiful people were having so much fun. A waiter came up to me. "Might I get you a champagne, sir?"
"No," I said. "Do you have an American beer, known as Pabst Blue Ribbon?"
"Of course," the waiter said.
"Is it cold?"
"It's very cold," the waiter said. "We are not some dumb European party where the beer is warm."
"Bring ma a PBR," I said. "Like the sociopath from that movie."
"Yes sir," the waiter said. And he went off to fetch my exquisite drink.
I'd like to help with a Faith Forum talk on the subject of abortion. Conception or Birth.
Many states allow abortion all the way up until birth. Other states outlaw all abortions. (North Carolina is a purple state, so we pick a point in the middle).
When Roe v. Wade was overruled, it pushed abortion into the public square. Now we have to vote on it. How should we vote? How should we think about this issue?
My position: Outlaw all abortions. Babies are a child of God. Babies belong to God, not us. We have to respect God's children. Emergency contraception is a blessing for rape victims. Emergency contraception is birth control. It's not an abortion. It's not not an atrocity. It's not a homicide. If anybody feels secret guilt about your abortion, beg for forgiveness from God. And you will be forgiven, and your sins will be wiped clean. That is the promise of Christ.
Adam Golding for TDSB WARD 7 @adamgolding Russell Brand’s ex-girlfriend Samantha Pressdee has fiercely spoken out against the verdict. She stated the following: "A wife is without her husband. Three children are without their Dad. Yet everyone thinks the real victim in this is a drunk groupie who was cheating on her boyfriend. Someone who has anonymity for life and will probably get a financial payout. “If this drunk groupie thought he was a predator, why would she stand by and watch him sleep with 1000s more women? Didn't she care about those women? "It's not true that women in the comedy industry warned each other about Russell. No one warned me, and it could not have been more obvious that I was connected to him. Just because I am a woman doesn't mean I should 'believe all women'. "I would be more likely to believe women who report criminals to the POLICE. Not the media, decades later. I believe in the right to a fair trial. Convince me it was fair!" She also slammed Georgina Bailey who claimed to be Brand’s ex-lover and had urged him to “tell the truth.” "She was a groupie too,” Samantha revealed. “The kind of women throwing themselves at Brand back then often sold kiss-and-tell [stories] that were mostly made up. "Russell paid for Georgina to go to rehab. Ballie has made a career out of sleeping with him. She's not his ex-girlfriend. At the time, she was in a burlesque troupe called 'The Satanic Sluts'." At the moment, we are being led to believe that Russell Brand is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. There is no evidence - only the word of one woman and more words from people who don’t like him. Now we have other words from someone who knew him that say the opposite of what the establishment and media are saying. I also found Reform MP Sarah Pochin’s comments on TalkTV disgraceful. In the clip, she spoke about Brand as if he was 100% guilty, spoke in a rather venomous way about him saying she hoped he would go away for a long long time, and spoke about the accusers as if they are bastions of truth even though there is no way she could possibly know that. This is trial by media. Trial by hearsay. Trial by dislike of one person. But trial by truth? No. Russell Brand faces serious danger in prison and was forbidden from saying goodbye to his kids. No mercy is being shown to him. I see only venom and hate. Yet I have seen Brand speak repeatedly about his faith for years, urging millions of people to find their own. The entire thing feels off and rancid. The more this case goes on and the more that is revealed by people like his ex-girlfriend, the more it becomes clear that something very wrong has happened here and we are in the midst of watching something very evil taking place. #RussellBrand

One of the most true comments made on Jonathan Turleys blog...
Lorenzo Verde says:November 9, 2026 at 8:41 PM Democrats were a different party 80+ years ago. Today every Republican would vote for the policies of JFK, every Democrat would call him a Nazi.
"On Friday, when an armed-to-the-teeth Venezuelan migrant was arrested near the White House saying he’d been “hearing voices telling him to kill President Trump,” my first thought was: “Were those voices on MS-NOW, Bluesky, or on Jennifer Welch’s podcast?”"
Religious people are more likely to use nukes than atheists. That's because religious people believe in an afterlife. Atheists do not. Atheists are terrified of nukes and death. Religious people are not. We don't like death, but we know it's coming. And we got a chapter 2.
Islam is scary because they get a reward for killing. Christians are promised zero rewards for killing.
When I was a kid in law school, and I gave my theory that abortion kills a baby. My buddy was like, "Doesn't that obligate you to kill the killer?" I was like, "oh shit, a moral quandary." I was kinda speechless. "I don't like that," I said. "I don't like it either," he said.
A couple of decades later, I found Christ, and everything clarified. Now, if I had that conversation? "Aren't you obligated to kill the doctor and save the babies?" And my response is, "Why? Jesus didn't kill anybody. So I have no obligation to kill anybody. I can denounce the violence without murdering the people who commit it." That's why we call ourselves "pro-life" and mock the media, who are not allowed to say those words.
There’s also the libertarian principle that just because something is wrong to do, it doesn’t necessarily follow that you need to outlaw it.
Or rephrased in Althouse-ese, better than nothing is a high standard. You have to work to convince me that passing a law is better than the state doing nothing. CC, JSM
Another true story. I'm in the Christ Church parking lot. And this liberal Christian -- we're Episcopalians so I'm surrounded by liberal Christians -- comes up to me and says, "Hey Taylor." And I say, "Hey." And he puts his arm around me and holds me. Like a hug in the Christ Church parking lot.
And in my brain I'm going, "I'll bet this looks gay as shit." And I'm not saying anything. And he's not saying anything. My church performs gay weddings. So I'm going, bite down on your homophobia, you dumb son of a bitch". And I don't know what he's thinking. I don't have the ESP. Even my gaydar is broken and in the shop. I literally thought he was gay for about a year. And then I was like, "oh shit, he's just a nice heterosexual man trying to be a nice Christiian." Glad I kept my mouth shut on that one. I apologize if this post is a little messed up. Satan has hidden my glasses and I have to squint.
One time I asked out a homeless girl. In my brain I was going, "Maybe she cleans up nice." You always wonder about giving. money to the homeless, because they use it for drugs. I give money to the homeless anyway. What am I going to do with that $5 that's so important? Even if the homeless uses my $5 to buy drugs, that's not on me. He did that shit. I did the good deed! My Scottish ancestors and I feel like most of us are trying to keep our money and not give it away like Jesus commanded.
Anyway, you can always buy them dinner if you are worried about the homeless using your money for evil. So I was like, "you want to have dinner?" Normally the homeless are super grateful, and they accept anything. And they almost always respond with a "God bless you." Somehow the homeless seem to feel that it's religious people helping homeless. Liberals are like, "Let's call them unhoused. We fixed the problem!"
Anyway, this damn homeless girl did not accept right away. She was like, "Can you come back and pick me at 2:00?" I cannot believe this shit. Apparently I've spiked her confidence so high, she's back to playing feminine tricks, like she was doing in the pre-homeless days. I'm like, whatever. "Okay, I'll se you at 2."
I actually return at 2. And she is out on the street, with a homeless man standing right next to her. They are begging together. I'm like, "I cannot believe she used me to light a fire under her boyfriend's ass." If I was a more advanced Christian, I would have gone over there and played along with her little game. But at the time, I didn't want to get sucked into a homeless romantic triangle.
Hope you can read this all right my squint power is fading.
A homeless woman saved my life on Christmas Eve. Another true story. Some nice Christian put tenderloin on the buffet table. They just bought a whole tenderloin. Most of the homeless food is basic. Christ Church has a Room at the Inn program where we provide shelter for the homeless. And we like to have a couple of non-homeless people hang around and babysit. Anyway, I could not believe that the homeless were not scarfing down on the tenderloin. Nobody was touching it! So I grabbed a whole bunch of steak and sat down. And I'm stuffing my face. I'm eating super fast. It's amazing! Like a free $60 dinner. And I'm eating, and eating, and eating.
And then a piece of steak lodges in my throat. It is lodged. I cannot breathe. I cannot talk. I am choking.
This homeless lady notices me. "Are you choking?" she asked. I nod my head. I'm starting to black out. I don't know what happened next. I don't know if she gave me the Heimlich or just whacked me on the back. And the steak pops out. And I thank her for saving my life.
Later, I ask the group if anybody wants to go the Christmas Eve service. And two of them do. Everybody is in a suit, of course, except for us. All three of us are dressed like bums. And Chip, our head priest, he notices us and brings the Communion cup over to us, special, without saying anything. I thought that was pretty cool.
I am thrilled that my dog food supplier Chewy withdrew their sponsorship from Jennifer Welch’s podcast. But I have to ask how did they become a sponsor in the first place? Didn’t Chewy see the evil oozing out of every pore of her anorexic body.
Humperdink, I hadn’t heard of Jennifer Welch before so I watched this interview with Katie Couric. I didn’t agree with everything she said and some of her criticisms struck me as exaggerated or overly partisan. But describing her as having “evil oozing out of every pore” seems unfair. You and Welch probably see politics and faith quite differently but that kind of disagreement doesn’t make either person evil.
Digging up an assassinated by your side man, so you can do it again and laughing your asses off about it IS EVIL. So much for being a peaceful warrior. Your side wants us dead. THAT is EVIL.
It's more than "wants," Wendybar, is it not? They halfway missed with the Congressional Republicans, although Steve Scalise is still fighting the aftereffects of his injuries and emergency treatment.
They missed with the President, although just barely. Then Charlie Kirk, they didn't miss. And what is the tally for how many citizens and police officers they have killed in their street riots?
The Left is fighting the civil war. The Right is writing articles and comments about it, like this one. Not an equal effort. Not a winning strategy.
"An assassination attempt against U.S. President Donald Trump took place on April 25, 2026, during the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C."
Humperdink, thanks for pointing me to that later controversy. I wasn't aware of it when I watched the Couric interview. Laughing at a joke about Charlie Kirk's murder was awful and I can understand why it angered you. What stood out to me in the interview was Welch talking about growing up in a secular, non-Republican home in a very conservative part of Oklahoma, where her family's values were often challenged. I found that really interesting, even if I didn't agree with everything she said. I understand why she subsequently apologized and announced a donation to a gun-violence prevention organization. I still think describing her as having "evil oozing out of every pore" goes too far.
The 'okay with killing your political rivals' set is ENTIRELY made up of 'evil oozing out of every pore' people, not just the ones on TeeVee. Happy to clarify that for you.
Walter and Sweetie, I completely agree that laughing at a joke about Kirk’s murder was out of line and I can understand why someone might see Welch’s choice of charity as another political statement. Still, I think there’s a real difference between laughing at a cruel joke and actually supporting violence against political opponents. Condemning the first doesn’t entitle us to assume the second.
“Still, I think there’s a real difference between laughing at a cruel joke and actually supporting violence against political opponents. Condemning the first doesn’t entitle us to assume the second.”
What a load of BS. All one has to do is watch a few episodes of that podcast and you’ll see this shitbird who would pass for Wayland Flowers’ “Madame” puppet in action. There’s plenty of examples of vile behavior and diatribes.

"You dumb fucker!" Dr. Satan screamed. "I have the best killers in the world. Killers and rapists trained at the IDF. That's the Israeli Defense Force, motherfucker."
"Okay," I said.
"Jews!" Dr. Satan screamed. "Where the fuck are my Jews?"
"Yes sir!" all the Jews screamed. There were six of them.
"You do not have enough Jews," I said.
"Six Jews is plenty!" Dr. Satan said. "You will never see that naked man again. Jews. Go search the grounds for a naked man. And if he's dead, bring his corpse to me. And he better not be alive. I mean, you're not going to find him alive. But you better find a dead man. A naked dead man. Got it."
"Yes sir!" the Jews all shouted in unison. And they ran out of the room.
"You don't have enough Jews," I said again. "You will never find him."
"I have plenty of Jews," Dr. Satan said. "Four Jews would be enough."
"Twenty Jews would not be enough," I said. "And you only have six."
"Motherfucker," Dr. Satan said. "Pardon my French. His hands were shaking. "Are you saying we cannot find a dead naked man?"
"Exactly," I said.
"Fuck you," Dr. Satan said. He ran out of the room.
I sat down in a chair. The chitchat in the party resumed. All the beautiful people were having so much fun. A waiter came up to me. "Might I get you a champagne, sir?"
"No," I said. "Do you have an American beer, known as Pabst Blue Ribbon?"
"Of course," the waiter said.
"Is it cold?"
"It's very cold," the waiter said. "We are not some dumb European party where the beer is warm."
"Bring ma a PBR," I said. "Like the sociopath from that movie."
"Yes sir," the waiter said. And he went off to fetch my exquisite drink.
Note for my priest.
I'd like to help with a Faith Forum talk on the subject of abortion. Conception or Birth.
Many states allow abortion all the way up until birth. Other states outlaw all abortions. (North Carolina is a purple state, so we pick a point in the middle).
When Roe v. Wade was overruled, it pushed abortion into the public square. Now we have to vote on it. How should we vote? How should we think about this issue?
My position: Outlaw all abortions. Babies are a child of God. Babies belong to God, not us. We have to respect God's children. Emergency contraception is a blessing for rape victims. Emergency contraception is birth control. It's not an abortion. It's not not an atrocity. It's not a homicide. If anybody feels secret guilt about your abortion, beg for forgiveness from God. And you will be forgiven, and your sins will be wiped clean. That is the promise of Christ.

Russell Brand’s ex-girlfriend Samantha Pressdee has fiercely spoken out against the verdict.
She stated the following:
"A wife is without her husband. Three children are without their Dad. Yet everyone thinks the real victim in this is a drunk groupie who was cheating on her boyfriend. Someone who has anonymity for life and will probably get a financial payout.
“If this drunk groupie thought he was a predator, why would she stand by and watch him sleep with 1000s more women? Didn't she care about those women?
"It's not true that women in the comedy industry warned each other about Russell. No one warned me, and it could not have been more obvious that I was connected to him. Just because I am a woman doesn't mean I should 'believe all women'.
"I would be more likely to believe women who report criminals to the POLICE. Not the media, decades later. I believe in the right to a fair trial. Convince me it was fair!"
She also slammed Georgina Bailey who claimed to be Brand’s ex-lover and had urged him to “tell the truth.”
"She was a groupie too,” Samantha revealed. “The kind of women throwing themselves at Brand back then often sold kiss-and-tell [stories] that were mostly made up.
"Russell paid for Georgina to go to rehab. Ballie has made a career out of sleeping with him. She's not his ex-girlfriend. At the time, she was in a burlesque troupe called 'The Satanic Sluts'."
At the moment, we are being led to believe that Russell Brand is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. There is no evidence - only the word of one woman and more words from people who don’t like him.
Now we have other words from someone who knew him that say the opposite of what the establishment and media are saying.
I also found Reform MP Sarah Pochin’s comments on TalkTV disgraceful. In the clip, she spoke about Brand as if he was 100% guilty, spoke in a rather venomous way about him saying she hoped he would go away for a long long time, and spoke about the accusers as if they are bastions of truth even though there is no way she could possibly know that.
This is trial by media. Trial by hearsay. Trial by dislike of one person. But trial by truth? No. Russell Brand faces serious danger in prison and was forbidden from saying goodbye to his kids. No mercy is being shown to him. I see only venom and hate. Yet I have seen Brand speak repeatedly about his faith for years, urging millions of people to find their own. The entire thing feels off and rancid. The more this case goes on and the more that is revealed by people like his ex-girlfriend, the more it becomes clear that something very wrong has happened here and we are in the midst of watching something very evil taking place.

Democrats were a different party 80+ years ago. Today every Republican would vote for the policies of JFK, every Democrat would call him a Nazi.
"On Friday, when an armed-to-the-teeth Venezuelan migrant was arrested near the White House saying he’d been “hearing voices telling him to kill President Trump,” my first thought was: “Were those voices on MS-NOW, Bluesky, or on Jennifer Welch’s podcast?”"

Religious people are more likely to use nukes than atheists. That's because religious people believe in an afterlife. Atheists do not. Atheists are terrified of nukes and death. Religious people are not. We don't like death, but we know it's coming. And we got a chapter 2.
Islam is scary because they get a reward for killing. Christians are promised zero rewards for killing.
When I was a kid in law school, and I gave my theory that abortion kills a baby. My buddy was like, "Doesn't that obligate you to kill the killer?" I was like, "oh shit, a moral quandary." I was kinda speechless. "I don't like that," I said. "I don't like it either," he said.
A couple of decades later, I found Christ, and everything clarified. Now, if I had that conversation? "Aren't you obligated to kill the doctor and save the babies?" And my response is, "Why? Jesus didn't kill anybody. So I have no obligation to kill anybody. I can denounce the violence without murdering the people who commit it." That's why we call ourselves "pro-life" and mock the media, who are not allowed to say those words.
There’s also the libertarian principle that just because something is wrong to do, it doesn’t necessarily follow that you need to outlaw it.
Or rephrased in Althouse-ese, better than nothing is a high standard. You have to work to convince me that passing a law is better than the state doing nothing. CC, JSM
Another true story. I'm in the Christ Church parking lot. And this liberal Christian -- we're Episcopalians so I'm surrounded by liberal Christians -- comes up to me and says, "Hey Taylor." And I say, "Hey." And he puts his arm around me and holds me. Like a hug in the Christ Church parking lot.
And in my brain I'm going, "I'll bet this looks gay as shit." And I'm not saying anything. And he's not saying anything. My church performs gay weddings. So I'm going, bite down on your homophobia, you dumb son of a bitch". And I don't know what he's thinking. I don't have the ESP. Even my gaydar is broken and in the shop. I literally thought he was gay for about a year. And then I was like, "oh shit, he's just a nice heterosexual man trying to be a nice Christiian." Glad I kept my mouth shut on that one. I apologize if this post is a little messed up. Satan has hidden my glasses and I have to squint.

One time I asked out a homeless girl. In my brain I was going, "Maybe she cleans up nice." You always wonder about giving. money to the homeless, because they use it for drugs. I give money to the homeless anyway. What am I going to do with that $5 that's so important? Even if the homeless uses my $5 to buy drugs, that's not on me. He did that shit. I did the good deed! My Scottish ancestors and I feel like most of us are trying to keep our money and not give it away like Jesus commanded.
Anyway, you can always buy them dinner if you are worried about the homeless using your money for evil. So I was like, "you want to have dinner?" Normally the homeless are super grateful, and they accept anything. And they almost always respond with a "God bless you." Somehow the homeless seem to feel that it's religious people helping homeless. Liberals are like, "Let's call them unhoused. We fixed the problem!"
Anyway, this damn homeless girl did not accept right away. She was like, "Can you come back and pick me at 2:00?" I cannot believe this shit. Apparently I've spiked her confidence so high, she's back to playing feminine tricks, like she was doing in the pre-homeless days. I'm like, whatever. "Okay, I'll se you at 2."
I actually return at 2. And she is out on the street, with a homeless man standing right next to her. They are begging together. I'm like, "I cannot believe she used me to light a fire under her boyfriend's ass." If I was a more advanced Christian, I would have gone over there and played along with her little game. But at the time, I didn't want to get sucked into a homeless romantic triangle.
Hope you can read this all right my squint power is fading.
You can buy Chick Fil A, gift certificates and keep them in your car. I used to do that.
A homeless woman saved my life on Christmas Eve. Another true story. Some nice Christian put tenderloin on the buffet table. They just bought a whole tenderloin. Most of the homeless food is basic. Christ Church has a Room at the Inn program where we provide shelter for the homeless. And we like to have a couple of non-homeless people hang around and babysit. Anyway, I could not believe that the homeless were not scarfing down on the tenderloin. Nobody was touching it! So I grabbed a whole bunch of steak and sat down. And I'm stuffing my face. I'm eating super fast. It's amazing! Like a free $60 dinner. And I'm eating, and eating, and eating.
And then a piece of steak lodges in my throat. It is lodged. I cannot breathe. I cannot talk. I am choking.
This homeless lady notices me. "Are you choking?" she asked. I nod my head. I'm starting to black out. I don't know what happened next. I don't know if she gave me the Heimlich or just whacked me on the back. And the steak pops out. And I thank her for saving my life.
Later, I ask the group if anybody wants to go the Christmas Eve service. And two of them do. Everybody is in a suit, of course, except for us. All three of us are dressed like bums. And Chip, our head priest, he notices us and brings the Communion cup over to us, special, without saying anything. I thought that was pretty cool.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Pain in the Arse) says impeachment is merely firing someone … from the guy who was fired by his R voters.
Massie is effectively advocating that protecting Americans, our homeland and our overseas sites is impeachable. He’s a sick man.
Interesting revelation from AI: “Dave Chappelle has said he converted to Islam as a teenager, though he generally keeps his faith private.”
Charlie Kirk was a hard core Christian.
I am thrilled that my dog food supplier Chewy withdrew their sponsorship from Jennifer Welch’s podcast. But I have to ask how did they become a sponsor in the first place? Didn’t Chewy see the evil oozing out of every pore of her anorexic body.

Humperdink, I hadn’t heard of Jennifer Welch before so I watched this interview with Katie Couric. I didn’t agree with everything she said and some of her criticisms struck me as exaggerated or overly partisan. But describing her as having “evil oozing out of every pore” seems unfair. You and Welch probably see politics and faith quite differently but that kind of disagreement doesn’t make either person evil.

Digging up an assassinated by your side man, so you can do it again and laughing your asses off about it IS EVIL. So much for being a peaceful warrior. Your side wants us dead. THAT is EVIL.

It's more than "wants," Wendybar, is it not? They halfway missed with the Congressional Republicans, although Steve Scalise is still fighting the aftereffects of his injuries and emergency treatment.
They missed with the President, although just barely. Then Charlie Kirk, they didn't miss. And what is the tally for how many citizens and police officers they have killed in their street riots?
The Left is fighting the civil war. The Right is writing articles and comments about it, like this one. Not an equal effort. Not a winning strategy.
@ Peaceful warrior. I presume you heard her insincere apology which immediately went to “I’m the victim here!”.

You overlooked last(?) one:
"An assassination attempt against U.S. President Donald Trump took place on April 25, 2026, during the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C."
Humperdink, thanks for pointing me to that later controversy. I wasn't aware of it when I watched the Couric interview. Laughing at a joke about Charlie Kirk's murder was awful and I can understand why it angered you. What stood out to me in the interview was Welch talking about growing up in a secular, non-Republican home in a very conservative part of Oklahoma, where her family's values were often challenged. I found that really interesting, even if I didn't agree with everything she said. I understand why she subsequently apologized and announced a donation to a gun-violence prevention organization. I still think describing her as having "evil oozing out of every pore" goes too far.
" I understand why she subsequently apologized and announced a donation to a gun-violence prevention organization."
In honor of Charlie....
The 'okay with killing your political rivals' set is ENTIRELY made up of 'evil oozing out of every pore' people, not just the ones on TeeVee. Happy to clarify that for you.
Walter and Sweetie, I completely agree that laughing at a joke about Kirk’s murder was out of line and I can understand why someone might see Welch’s choice of charity as another political statement. Still, I think there’s a real difference between laughing at a cruel joke and actually supporting violence against political opponents. Condemning the first doesn’t entitle us to assume the second.
Wendybar
I just assume that any leftist I come across is going to default to violence. It's safer that way.
“Still, I think there’s a real difference between laughing at a cruel joke and actually supporting violence against political opponents. Condemning the first doesn’t entitle us to assume the second.”
What a load of BS. All one has to do is watch a few episodes of that podcast and you’ll see this shitbird who would pass for Wayland Flowers’ “Madame” puppet in action. There’s plenty of examples of vile behavior and diatribes.
‘ One time I asked out a homeless girl. In my brain I was going, "Maybe she cleans up nice”.’
