Glad you are safely back home.

Leftists Don’t Care About Mixing Politics And Religion So Long As It’s Their Politics In Charge
Leftist media want the Catholic Church to push their agenda. But when it enforces doctrine on abortion or sexuality, the church must stay out of politics!
Hypocrites in the corporate media love using the Catholic Church to push their politics, especially when it involves “devout Catholic” Joe Biden. But the minute the church’s stand on clear doctrine threatens leftist dogma, as the annual spring meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) did, you can expect a media crusade.
The USCCB voted last week to create guidelines on the meaning of the Eucharist (also called Holy Communion) and, as an extension of those guidelines, to communicate if and when politicians who support abortion should be excluded from participation in the Eucharist. As The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson has noted, this is not a difficult theological question for the Catholic hierarchy to answer. Canon law, statements by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and comments from senior Catholic cardinals like Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) and Francis Arinze make the answer clear.
Yet to hear leftist corporate media tell the story, you’d think a vindictive, right-wing faction is cynically politicizing the Eucharist to destroy the reputation of President Joe Biden, whom the media love to characterize as a “devout Catholic” who frequently attends Mass, cites scripture in his speeches, and carries rosary beads. The bishops, they say, are unjustly vilifying St. Joseph of Scranton!
“In Rift With Biden, a Dramatic Show of Force by a Conservative Catholic Movement,” blared a New York Times report, which pitted “liberal” Catholics like Pope Francis and Joe Biden against “conservative” Catholics like Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone of San Francisco and Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas.
After Biden called his clash with the bishops a “private matter,” CNN contributor Father Edward Beck used the same phrase to describe Biden’s reception of the Eucharist, while praising Biden for his public Catholic observances.
The Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty warned forbidding access to the Eucharist over abortion would threaten the separation of church and state. She also slammed it as hypocritical, since the church is not considering discipline for politicians who aren’t in lockstep with Catholic teaching on other issues like immigration, poverty, and the environment.
Who is really being hypocritical here? As The Daily Caller’s Mary Margaret Olohan put it, “the media only tolerates their own version of Catholicism.” Corporate media love to exploit the Catholic Church and its teaching to serve their ideological agenda, but when the church seeks to exert itself in any matter incommensurate with Democrat talking points, that same corporate media accuses it of suddenly engaging in reckless “politicization” of its religious identity.

So sad. I can’t watch.
“The Dems learned that they could interfere with religion. They stopped people from going to church, didn’t they? That just emboldened them and now they are doing the next Step. They’ll take away religion one step at a time just like they’re trying to do with guns.”
Good point. Biden says “Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government.”
“If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.”
Hope your eye gets better fast. My back is much better but still not completely healed.
How’s Roy?
Pathetic!!!!
What the heck is he saying?
Needs translation!!!
This is exactly why peeps took to twitter and said bypass the speech Biden, just let us read it off the teleprompter.

The Left’s Next Move Is Even Worse than H.R. 1
This week, the Democrats’ bill to federalize our elections, S.1, failed in the U.S. Senate. Thanks to the filibuster, the bill fell short of its needed sixty-vote threshold.
The filibuster stopped a partisan power grab that was designed to protect the Democrats’ majority. S.1 was a radical bill that would have made our elections less secure, and made it easier to commit voter fraud. It even would have even banned popular voter ID laws.
We should all be thankful for Sen. Joe Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema for resisting calls from the radical left to eliminate the filibuster. Without them, we would be having a federal takeover of our elections now.
The filibuster was designed to build consensus among the states. The states would have lost power under S.1, and it was important for any fundamental restructuring of American elections had broad consensus. The filibuster worked the way it was supposed to.
Yet Americans should not let their guard down following the defeat of S.1. The Left is already pushing an even worse bill, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
Do not let the bill’s name fool you. It is not a civil rights bill. It is an attempt to strip states of their powers to govern and run their own elections.
If you opposed S.1, then you should oppose The John Lewis Voting Rights Act. It is still a massive federal takeover of elections. It would put ideologically radical bureaucrats at the Department of Justice in charge of every single detail of our elections.
These far-left bureaucrats would have to approve every change in our elections. From large changes such as mandating voter ID to small changes from moving at the time county election offices are open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:35 a.m.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Act removes power from the people and gives it to the Washington swamp.

Let me think, what is more powerful, nuclear weapons or God?
Prayer, the access to the power of the Almighty.
AND NOW... THE REST OF THE STORY
Corduroy did okay! It was kind of cute actually, hubby was telling me all the things that Roy ate while I was gone. So he was keeping track even if he was pretending like he didn’t care. And now Roy is still out, hanging out in the living room. So he must be feeling okay. I was asking vets how do I know if he’s in pain or not since cat tent tend to hide it. And they said if he is out and about with us and he is probably feeling okay. That he would be hiding and sitting sort of hunched up if he was hurting.
And he’s still eating okay since I got home. Knock on wood! Thanks for asking.
I can’t believe he admitted that they’re looking ahead to that. To the time when they have to kill some of their own citizens. Nuclear weapons, that’s pretty extreme. They’re bound to get a lot of their own that way.

If anyone knows how to get a hold of Santa, this is what I want. I’m always so incredibly comfortable in the Marriott beds. Seems like the one in Boston is really similar to the one in Nashville. I think I need to call and find out which mattress type matches what they use in the hotels. And all the other stuff.
Hes not the first one to make that threat.
That time Eric Swalwell threatened to go nuclear on gun owners. Literally
That is just so sad...
It almost made me cry!
Very poignant!
Truly one of your best, Vlad!
I think spending that much money on it would cause me to lie awake at night! LOL
I’m off to the Doctors for a follow
up to that unresponsive episode I had Friday before last.
Please say a little prayer for me?
Later!
*evil grin*
Note to self: Buy more popcorn!
