I am still trying to understand how this happened. I guess the Church has always been tormented by departures from the faith; inquisitions, bad popes, heresies, pillaging crusaders, priests blessing bombs with holy water, and this marriage between politics and religion is just par for the course.

60 Minutes ran a piece on this. The eyes of those farmers said more to me than their words. I am so very haunted by them. They need help now!

The Biden administration tried the same tactic. I remember people unhappy with me because I didn't support the claims of that administration either. I am retired and keep track of every dollar I spend. I have the data. The numbers don't lie...for Biden or for Trump.

I cannot wait to see this. I too am wondering how in the heck this could have happened to sane people. The lure of power, fame and fortune is too strong for most to maintain truth, honor and integrity. We are grateful for the few who escaped, like you.

"Frankie, a four-month-old Caribbean Flamingo whom Mr. Woolcock described as 'aloof' and 'quite a character'. Well, of course she went to France! France was made for her and she for France. Bon chance, little one. You made a good choice

It didn't work for Biden/Harris, it won't work for Trump. People may be gullible but when it comes to their wallet, they typically know what is or is not in it.

Georgia is getting one of these too in their GA House District 121. Early voting begins next week with the election scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 9th. Oconee will vote R but I think a chunk of that R will be replaced by D and Clarke will vote D, capturing Dems and Independent votes. Can't wait.

Buddy creeps me out. I am frustrated beyond measure at my fellow Georgians who cover themselves in the Christian Flag but refuse to see who they have gotten in bed with. I pray every night that the scales fall from their eyes. That their childhood bible lessons don't just die on rocky soil.

My mom, a German Catholic immigrant and ultimately naturalized citizen, would say that Thanksgiving wasn’t one of her holidays (she thought it was Protestant). So I do get this. We celebrated but her heart wasn’t in it and she hated turkey.

Our little one sleeping on my legs while I finish a baby blanket for one of the young moms at our Church. He loved this project as the weather just got cold where we are and he stayed warm under the blanket while I worked.

When our son was in the 1st grade his teacher was concerned because he was always off on his own playing by himself. I never saw this as a problem. I thought, "Isn't it great he knows how to keep himself busy and entertained?" Of course, later we saw where this went. He is different yet wonderful!

I didn’t know Thelma was back! I miss her but not enough to go back to X.

It makes me sad that some woman are so insecure in who they are and what they look like that it comes to this. It's kind of that Hollywood thing only in politics. Lord have mercy. Accept who you are and love who you are even if you aren't made perfect. Bigger fish to fry out there.

Seriously...how many millions does one person actually need. I could get by with 12, maybe 15. The rest is just showing off.

Oh my! The folks at Hobby Lobby sure saw him coming! Maria Theresa and my other Habsburg ancestors are rolling over in their graves.

I need to start using this!

Cruelty as the point? It's worse than that, more akin to thuggery. It is applying the exact kind of pressure the Democrats want to resolve - other people's suffering. It is meant for the Democrats to abandon their position on healthcare so that people don't starve. Pure unadulterated thuggery.

As one who has been frustrated many, many times by French strikes, you make an interesting point. The shutdown is being driven by the leading party. We have an expression in the US that captures this moment for our leaders - cutting off your nose to spite your face. They do this to their detriment.
