Speaker Johnson eyes funding Ukraine aid with seized Russian assets, calls it ‘pure poetry’
|
| |
Washington Times ^
| November 11, 2023 | Alex Miller
Speaker Mike Johnson said that he would like to use billions in seized Russian assets to pay for President Biden’s Ukraine aid request. Mr.
Johnson’s pitch comes as the top House Republican already diverted from Mr. Biden’s $106 billion request by splitting Israel aid from the larger package that included aid spending for the Jewish state, Ukraine, Taiwan and spending on the U.S.-Mexico border to bolster the president’s catch and release policies. House Republicans have increasingly shifted their stance on providing more aid to Ukraine, arguing that no more taxpayer dollars should flow to the war-beleaguered country until the Biden...

Audrey Hale’s manifesto reads like Karl Marx’s poetry

American Thinker ^
| 7 Nov, 2023 | Olivia Murray
While reading the pages which came from the Nashville shooter’s writings, it occurred to me: I’ve seen this before. Yesterday,
Steven Crowder’s media outlet published three pages of school shooter Audrey Hale’s manifesto, confirmed by Nashville’s Chief of Police, and my colleague Andrea Widburg wrote a great blog on a very obvious motivation behind the girl’s murderous rampage: the well-known leftist mantra of “white privilege.” I’d like to add to Andrea’s work, and highlight another angle: the chip on Hale’s shoulder, one which is eerily evocative to that of another notorious figure. What do we know about Hale? Indisputably, she...

[Catholic Caucus] A Rocky Beginning for Tucho Fernandez: Erotic Poetry, "Youth Ministry," and Covering Up for PredatorsThe appointment of Tucho Fernandez as Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has met with disapproval across the Catholic world-- even from unlikely sources.The problems began with the resurfacing of Fernandez's 1995
book, "Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing." The book includes sexually graphic, vulgar and disturbing poems written by Fernandez interspersed with insipid attempts at theological insight. Written when Fernandez was a parish priest, this is a book that should have raised alarm bells at the...

[Catholic Caucus] Poetry inspired by the Synod on Synodality: "Our monotonous talk"Synod.va asked for people to compose poetry inspired by the synodal process. The
following, with apologies to and admiration for T.S. Eliot, was submitted by James Baresel, author of many excellent articles on the traditional Mass. -- PAKWe are the hollow synodWe are the bloated synodWalking togetherHeads filled with straw.Our monotonous talk, whenWe gather togetherIs loud and meaninglessLike Bernard HäringOr when women are wearingPriestly vestments.Religion without morals, without divine judgement,An almost spent force, Modernism in motion.Saints of past agesWho crossed into heavenThink of us as lostCruel souls and asThe...

Georgia, Arkansas Revive Old-School Teaching Method: Poetry Recitation. Here’s Why That’s a Good Thing.
|

Daily Signal ^
| 5/5/23 | Rachel Alexander Cambre
n his rousing keynote address at The Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary gala last month, then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson offered an unexpected piece of advice: “Don’t throw away your hard-copy books.” Unlike
digitized books, films, and albums that can be canceled, rewritten, or vanished altogether, physical copies are “the enduring repository that cannot be disappeared.” With their resurrection of poetry recitation requirements, educators in Georgia and Arkansas are protecting that repository in more ways than one, steeping students in a reality they can affirm, trust, and love. Both states’ departments of education recently proposed revised K-12 English language arts standards...

Relevant poetry from an unlikely source.

I'm playing through Fallout 76 (I highly recommend this game for people who enjoy this particular hobby), and I found this poem on a terminal within the game. I
found it frighteningly accurate to what's happening today. We toiled in their fields, They let us starve.We filled their coffers with gold, They filled our lungs with sludge.We broke our backs, They broke our hearts.We told them of our pain, They hooked us on their painkillers.We voted, They stole our elections.We asked for fair wages, They bled us dry.We demanded safe work spaces, They took our jobs away.We wanted a normal...

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was an Iranian physicist and nuclear scientist who Israeli operatives assassinated in that country in November of last year. The
New York Times has a lengthy story about how the Israelis took him out remotely with an “A.I.-assisted, remote-controlled killing machine.” Basically, the New York Times reports that it was a “remote-controlled machine gun” that killed Fakhrizadeh as he drove with his wife to a vacation house in an area near the Caspian Sea in Iran. New York Times World promoted the story about the Iranian nuke scientist who “craved small domestic pleasures” this way: NOT the Babylon...

Morning Joe Slobbers Over Biden Trip: Greatest of Century, Poetry In His Prose

| Mark Finkelstein
Even for a bunch of Biden lovers, sycophancy this extreme should have been embarrassing. Thursday's
Morning Joe absolutely slobbered over Biden's just-concluded trip. Joe Scarborough hailed it as a triumph, saying: "I can't think of a more successful diplomatic trip in the 21st century than this one."Yeah, other than the absence of any tangible achievements, it was awesome! Biden adviser/speechwriter Jon Meacham then took the obsequiousness to absurd heights, claiming with a straight face: "My insight, watching the press conference yesterday was, there was a kind of poetry in his prose."Get the rest of the story and view the video...

Editor's note: To learn more about the book and film visit www.marxinhell.comGiven the murderous 20th century would Dante (1265-1321) have cast Karl Marx into one of his rings of fire Marx (1818–1883), who quoted Dante’s line Segui Il Tuo Corso, and, as some scholars claim, shaped his Das Kapital to the contours
of the great poet's Inferno. Author William Clare Roberts, in his book Marx’s Inferno says of Das Kapital, “I treat it as a work of political theory. Its tropes, metaphors, allusions and citations are approached as signs to be interpreted, as the linguistic traces of intuitions that can...

Almost 200 years ago, on 23 February 1821, the English poet John Keats died of tuberculosis in Rome at the age of 25. “I
shall soon be laid in the quiet grave – thank God for the quiet grave,” he told his friend Joseph Severn, in whose arms he died. “I can feel the cold earth upon me – the daisies growing over me – O for this quiet – it will be my first.” Keats gave instructions for his headstone to be engraved with the words “here lies one whose name was writ in water”, and visitors to Rome’s...
