  1. Check out Realitybites’ entry on the Baylor board’s Juneteenth thread:
  2. Looks like Vigano poked the bear one time too many. Cardinal Burke had better tread lightly: https://www.ncregister.com/cna/vatican-s-ddf-charges-archbishop-vigano-with-canonical-crime-of-schism-rejecting-pope-francis Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò on Thursday claimed that the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has initiated proceedings against him over the alleged crime of schism. Citing a document he published on his website and posted onsocial media, the former papal nuncio to the United States wrote that he was summoned to Rome on June 20 to face an extrajudicial penal process for the charges. “I have been summoned to the Palace of the Holy Office on June 20, in person or represented by a canon lawyer,” the prelate wrote on X. “I assume that the sentence has already been prepared, given that it is an extrajudicial process.” The specific charges outlined against Archbishop Viganò involve making public statements that allegedly deny the fundamental elements necessary to maintain communion with the Catholic Church. This includes denying the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the rightful pontiff and outright rejection of the doctrines established during the Second Vatican Council.
  3. Some are saying they’ve never seen anything like it.
  4. Once Biden is re-elected, Democrats should move Heaven and earth to get the requisite number of states to sign on to the National,Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and then move to expand the SC. Thirteen justices for thirteen circuits. Do it!
  5. I’m sharing:
  6. But then the teacher should be quick to point out the Trump’s was good adultery.
  7. When I challenge them with their attempt to nullify the sovereignty of God by not embracing his freedom to choose whomever he wants in ministry, they get angry. Then I ask how comfortable are they in limiting/restricting/ confining God to just what he chooses to disclose about himself in Scripture, they look confused.
  8. The Beatitudes/Sermon on the Mount too woke?
  9. The economic malaise that has overtaken much of Europe explains the rightward lurch of some democracies that are openly flirting with fascism. There is no such explanation of us. We have the best performing economy in the world. Crazy man Trump shouldn’t be within 20 points of Biden. None of this makes any sense.
  10. And the butter biscuits don’t care as long as they’re getting paid: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/02/michael-cohen-trump-said-black-people-are-too-stupid-to-vote-for-me.html President Donald Trump once said, “Black people are too stupid to vote for me,” and suggested that all countries run by blacks are “s---holes,” Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen says in a new interview. Also in the Vanity Fair sitdown, Cohen recalled Trump saying, “There’s no way I can let this black f-g win,” when referring to a black contestant on the reality show “The Apprentice.” “Only the blacks could live like this,” Trump once allegedly told Cohen when they were driving through a rough neighborhood in Chicago.
  11. John Oliver deconstructs Project 2025. Warning: it’s alarming and depressing: https://x.com/JohnBrynt/status/1802621626783011220
  12. I read that Rikers is still a possibility. Let’s hope so.
  13. House Democrats step up to try to stop Project 2025 plans for a Trump White House A group of House Democrats is warning about the far-right Project 2025 agenda for a second Trump White House: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/group-house-democrats-steps-stop-project-2025-trump-111010305
  14. I can. Three, and they were paid to say that.
  15. It’s a good thing he doesn’t have any real power because he’s the meanest and craziest of all the Magalitia: https://www.yahoo.com/news/bannon-vows-trump-opponents-prosecuted-214550291.html Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, vowed investigations and prosecutions of those who have probed the former president and his political allies, declaring at a conservative gathering Saturday that Inauguration Day in 2025 will be “accountability day.” Pointing to Trump’s recent conviction in New York, Bannon told a crowd at Turning Point Action’s “The People’s Convention” in Detroit, hours before Trump was scheduled to speak, that the former president’s allies are going to “get every single receipt.” “You are going to be investigated, prosecuted and incarcerated,” he said. “This has nothing to do with retribution. It has nothing to do with revenge. Because retribution and revenge might be another order of magnitude. This has to do with justice.”
  16. Sigh…should’ve joined the B1G https://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/politics/you-are-here-because-your-dads-not-queer/113773422/page-2/
  17. The head of security is a former US Marshall . There are at least 6-7 uniformed DPD officers in and around the sanctuary and any number of licensed carriers and plain clothed sitting in the sanctuary. Earlier this year, we hosted UMC missionaries from Tanzania. I picked then up from the hotel, brought them to church and to the reception area. When they saw the uniformed police officers patrolling the area, one man leaned over to me and with a concerned look on his face asked, “are we in danger?” I resisted the temptation to say, hell yeah. You’re in America.
  18. We have him on video. Problem is he may not be the one attending service on this or any other Sunday. We’re used to dealing with threats and crank callers. This latest event makes it more real.
  19. I attended a men’s meeting at church this morning during which a staff member gave a report on the active shooter training held at the church earlier in the week. At the training, one of the pastors noticed an unknown person sitting in the back of the sanctuary, underneath the balcony in what was believed to be an attempt not to draw attention to himself. When the executive pastor approached him and asked if she could be of assistance, he said he was there just to observe what was going on. She alerted on site security who observed the man taking pictures of entry/exit points in two of the main hallways leading to the sanctuary. Security followed him as he hurried to the parking lot, jumped into his car and “sped” off. Senator Warnock is scheduled to preach the Men’s Day observance a week from Sunday. We’re not sure what to make of this, but I’m certain there will be security to back up the senator’s detail. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t somewhat concerned.
  20. Those Gateway churches are little more than MAGA indoctrination camps.
  21. Nope. Buckee’s has an in with the Sec since it is aggy owned.
  22. I see both traditions with magestria and belief in the priesthood of the believer as problematic.
  23. Tell me again why Texas should ever have been removed from preclearance oversight?
