It sure feels like a change is in the air, but I’m not expecting a MOAB anytime soon.
More evidence of (possible) change:
ROME—Pope Francis on Friday capped a year of sex-abuse scandals in the Catholic Church by vowing to “do all that is necessary” to punish abusers for their “abominations” and urging the guilty to turn themselves in.
“To those who abuse minors, I would say this: convert and hand yourself over to human justice, and prepare for divine justice,” the pope told Vatican officials.

The strikeout on the arabic stamp is so that you can’t copy it and use it. If you look online or elsewhere at USPS stamp pictures they ALL have that.
Kay Ludlow said:
As someone with widespread USPS experience, let me ease your mind. In postal ads, even on their own website, they draw a line through all the stamps, a simpler version of the multi-line cancellation marks, to cover enough of the stamp to ‘cancel’ it. That ensures no unscrupulous person can take the image, copy it, and print it on “stamp-like material’ to use in the mail. That action would be counterfeiting, and is a federal crime.
As far as the issue of Religious stamps, at least they are still making Madonna and Child stamps, along with the secular Christmas stamps
I hope this eases your mind somewhat.

I thank both of you greatly. I think the dime finally dropped. The mechanism in my mental dime drop apparatus must need some DW40.
If I understand what you are saying, the STAMPS themselves are without the cross through so I can’t go just print them out on a wonderful multi color printer from their online display.
Fair enough.
But my question still lingers.... even online - to prevent counterfeit - couldn’t they do a strike through to something else? It really disturbed me to see that word “Forever” struck through. I wouldn’t want “USA” struck through either.
We have been taught over the past year, as I know all are aware, that symbolism matters.
Thanks again to you both and to our other faithful FReeQs who tried to calm me down on this.
Thank you for posting that. Wictor is extremely knowledgeable about warfare and the Middle East, and is, imho genius level with great intuition.
I totally agree with what you posted. Mattis didn’t really slow move the trannycrap, it was done in such a way to avoid lawsuits and freakouts, imho.
Maybe she wants face-to-face tech support for her server.
I thought I heard on TV this AM that the Senate had voted to suspend the rules. That’s another parliamentary way around the filibuster/cloture rule maybe?
I understand why the Senate is reluctant to change the 60 vote rule. It truly is better to have more than a bare majority agree to things, when trying to manage the herding of cats.
But the turtle needs to do whatever it takes to deliver.
I’m a nonviolent person, madam. :-D
If it was Bush they would be screaming to get out. I thought the dems didn’t like war.

Sorry, I am not really on board with the bash Mattis crowd. It seems to me that he acquitted himself well with respect to military engagements-I felt that he was respectful to everyone.
Mattis kicked ISIS’ raggedy ass.

Thanks to both of you. I LIKED Mattis. Did a good job. JMHO
Oh sure turn yourselves in, the Pope AND Bishops KNOW damn good and well who these priests BUT the Pope says turn yourselves in, LOL, LOL!!!! I am catholic and this Pope is a disgrace!!!!
>?>Was just wondering why Hillary keeps going to India...
Or maybe she’s just collecting a lot of money from a lot of rich Indians.
Search warrants happening now at the National Science Institute...
“U.S. Homeland Security tells FOX 17 that their agents are at the scene serving federal search warrants as part of an ongoing criminal probe. The warrants are sealed in federal court.”

Thanks, Cats PJs - it IS an interesting story, but so often with tweets, I feel as though I ‘m coming in to the middle of a movie and am missing foundational pieces!
Or coming in late to lunch with the girls and they are in the flow of a conversation that you are having difficulty following - they are using pronouns and references which have already been defined and so you nod and smile and hope to gosh the sandwiches come soon! LOL!
That’s a boom.
re: junk
Identity theives.
I don’t believe either one of them is who they say they are.
Just a couple of queer spooks.
Totally agree. And when he had policy differences with the CiC, he did the right thing: resigned, with class.
THAT is the way it's done, instead of the usual Swamp method, backbiting and sneering and sabotaging.
Rumors are, he's thinking of running for President. Politically, he's more in line with GOP moderates, so it would be very hard for him to win the nomination of either party. Probably beltway BS.
I’ve thought about the money angle, and the Clintons are grifters. So could be true.
Q implied she went to NZ to access email and intelligence without records of her access.
Since she lost her clearance, I don’t think she has been back there.
But she keeps going to India.
Medical treatment?
Adrenochrome?
Child trafficking?
Money?
What you are describing is.....
THE BT-1000
Listen, and understand.
That BT-100 is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
What a remark. Hadn’t heard of that one, yet. Bergoglio can be cute like that, at times. He’s perhaps feeling the heat— maybe.
Words are for scrambling eggs with him, unfortunately, but we look forward to seeing his immediate repentance and validating of those words, in real time. (Starting the clock.. tick, tick, tick... ) Thanks, Melian.
How many were $17
Metrobank to TEXOKIE
President Trump needs to sit the Cabinet down like “Dave” did in the movie to save funding for homeless children. Each Cabinet member gave up some funding to achieve the greater good. $5B is nothing in a budget of $1.4Trillion. Cut back on UN Donations-there is an easy $2.0B there.

That really was an archetypal scene, wasn’t it? I love that movie! Perhaps that is exactly what DJT has been doing!

Oh I do like the way you think!

I hope you read that in Donald Trump’s voice.

LOL!
*texokie, in her best DJT voice reads the following:*
AHEM
Oh, I do like the way you think!
