But-but-but- she's the richest professional wrestling promoter in the history of the world! What's more authentic than professional wrestling? And who could be more qualified to oversee the education of our youth?

This is the second such incident in a week or so. Long-distance flights often operate at altitudes where the temperature is below zero. News reports should mention that.

It will still be too little, too late. Jack Smith rolled over and surrendered after the election. Instead of moving to dismiss the January 6th case, he should have asked the judge to keep it open on the docket until Trump is no longer president.

In Milwaukee, we're getting a new archbishop - Auxiliary Bishop Jeffrey Grob from Chicago. I guess it takes 5 guys to replace him.

As a quibbling accountant who used to understand spreadsheets, I only see 3 generations of ancestors. Where’s your Dutch side? In NY and PA? And Bavaria? You must be corrupted with Catholic genes after all.
Almost all my ancestors immigrated here 4 generations back. Except the French-350 years ago.

They should be looking for candidates with different backgrounds. There are too many bishops who have never worked as the pastor of a parish. They have worked their way up as canon lawyers or professors. Promising young priests go to post-grad studies and do that kind of work. And become bishops.
