Nancy Pelosi Denied Communion in Catholic Church in San Francisco
So the church is getting a bit weary of very public Catholics who are also very public about their pro-choice devotion. This is a big problem here in Delaware, although the lily-livered Delaware Diocese does nothing about it.
President Biden, even as a VP and Delaware's Senator, loves to gadabout on Ash Wednesday and show his loyal Catholic ashes to all the world. Not that there's anything wrong with that but Catholics are very pro-life, everyone knows that. Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden are very vocal by their very public political stance on the matter about being pro-choice.
The church has the right to deny sacraments to those supposed to be Catholic yet espousing and preaching public stances that are against the Catholic church beliefs.
Oddly, it would seem that the San Francisco Catholic Diocese has more courage to stick to the rules than the Delaware Diocese.
And some might say this is not a good public act by the Catholic church and I ponder that myself. God can take care of them when they stand at the Golden Gate for Judgment.
But if you've got rules, either adhere to them or get rid of them.
Nancy was a perfect Catholic school student, I remember her well. She wore perfectly pleated school uniforms to attend St. Leo's church in Baltimore's Little Italy. I went with my father to work on updating her house. Her father (and later, her brother) was Mayor of Baltimore
Was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, shared a cigarette at the Delaware State Fair with Beau Biden and was childhood acquaintance of Nancy Pelosi.
Good anecdotes but not anything I'm especially proud of .

Mike Pence says he will consider run against Trump for President.
Mike Pence says he will consider run against Trump for President.
KENNESAW, Ga. – Former Vice President Mike Pence served notice Monday that he may seek the White House himself in 2024 – regardless of whether Donald Trump himself runs again.
“We’ll go where we’re called,” Pence told The New York Times in an interview published Monday.
This is pure gossip but it makes me smile all to hell.
Does Mike Pence think he has one bit of a shot to beat Trump? I would vote for most any Democrat you could name before I'd vote for Pence.
Pence betrayed Trump and the entire GOP base and for that, by me, he will never be forgiven.

Mass Shooting of School Children in Texas
Salvador Ramos
------------------------------------------------------------------
How the Uvalde shooting unfolded
On Tuesday morning, Ramos shot his 66-year-old grandmother in the head at their residence, and she was able to run across the street and call police, Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said. She was taken to the hospital via helicopter and is still in critical condition, he said.
Ramos drove about 2 miles to Robb Elementary in his grandmother's truck crashing the vehicle outside the school, McCraw said. He exits the vehicle with a backpack and rifle, authorities said.
----------------------------------------------------------
As I am typing this, on 5/26/22, the story of this horrible and incredibly sad event is still being investigated. But I wanted to get the event documented on this week but more questions will be answered in later columns.
The shooter was a nut job who shot his grandmother in the face then somehow got into a locked classroom at a Texas elementary school and methodically shot and killed 19 4th graders and 2 teachers.
The background of how this all came down is very confusing. Our magnificent media didn't do their jobs and soon the American public was hearing about phantom cops who turned up first then turned invisible and never existed.
But this country is shocked, saddened and very confused.
And yet Biden already wants to take away guns from innocent gun owners. Tomorrow he will be blaming Putin.

TIME FOR A SMILE
Review "The Good Dish"
ABC-Weekdays, at 10 am.
The Good Dish: With Daphne Oz, Gail Simmons, Jamika Pessoa, Simple shortcuts, everyday recipes and trends that will make life easier, ...
We do this review in honor of Daphne Oz's father, Mehmet Oz. He is, as of this writing, in the lead for the Penna. GOP nomination for senator. By PA standards as I am to understand, recounts are required for victories under a certain percentage. So Dr. Oz will have to endure a vote recount but I really think he will win.
As for the show that replaced the Dr. Oz show at the time and the channel above, let us discuss.
The show features three women who seem to make a great team. Let us not fool ourselves, Daphne Oz the boss of the show, generally doing the longer narratives and author of her own cookbook.
The Good Dish also features celebrities who come on and do their own cooking. It is intriguing to watch Kristen Chenowith make an omelet. She might even sing a tune.
I do enjoy cooking shows and this is one of the best. Sometimes they make easy dinner meals, sometimes holiday meals, sometimes some outdoor cooking.
This cooking show is not so difficult to follow the recipe I might add. It features normal, every day family type meals. Written recipes are available on the show's web site.
