My wife and I went to bed before 10 p.m. last night and slept wonderfully, our faith in God to save this nation not diminished by the evil cloud overshadowing us. Excuse us, Kamala, WE'RE SPEAKING. WE ARE SPEAKING! Trump's election overnight was a fulfillment of the passage,: Psalms 30:4-5:4 Sing praise to the Lord, you His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.We have had all of you,...

Eric Adams will be heading to the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago despite not being offered a coveted speaker spot — a humiliating snub for the Dem mayor of the nation’s largest city, political insiders said. The Windy City cold shoulder awaiting Adams — who will visit the DNC Wednesday and Thursday — is Democratic pooh-bahs’ revenge for the mayor bucking President Biden on the migrant crisis, as well as potential concern over a federal corruption probe swirling around City Hall, sources said. “This is a snub. This is a slap in the face,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a Dem...

Pro-Palestinian protesters repeatedly disrupted Vice President Kamala Harris at a Michigan rally on Thursday with chants about “genocide,” causing Harris to appear to lose her temper. “We believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now,” Harris said in a first rebuke. As the chants continued, Harris appeared to grow frustrated with members of the radical left, a flank with which her policies most identify. “You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” she said with an angry face, staring down the protestors while waving her arm: Temper, temper! pic.twitter.com/5qV9TNIAti...

Trans influencer and biological male Dylan Mulvaney appears to be trying to cash in on his newfound infamy after sparking a national Bud Light boycott this summer by soliciting speaking gigs on college campuses. “Booking speaking opportunities for the upcoming 23/24 school year and would love to come visit,” Mulvaney told his 1.8 million followers in an Instagram Story on Wednesday, according to a report by the New York Post. The trans influencer also included an email address “for serious inquiries,” before signing off with “love ya!” Notably, the Creative Arts Agency’s (CAA) talent agency lists Mulvaney on its website...

Gisele Fetterman, wife of Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetteman, said that her advice to married women communicating with their husbands is to "ignore him when he’s speaking." "You just have to be really confident in your truth," she said of dealing with people who disagree with you, and offered similar advice to married women. "Then you just, like, ignore him when he’s speaking." Gisele Fetterman spoke to the Los Angeles Blade in December, but the former Pennsylvania second lady's comments resurfaced on social media this week.

They spent four years working together in the White House, but former Vice President Mike Pence tells Fox News it’s been months since he and former President Donald Trump have chatted. Pence has been in a precarious position among many in the GOP base since the storming of the U.S. Capitol last January by right wing extremists aiming to disrupt congressional certification of now President Biden’s Electoral College victory over Trump. Some members of the violent mob that breached the Capitol were chanting "hang Mike Pence."

Mildred, the church gossip and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members did not approve of her extra-curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing! Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just...

Never have we been so connected and informed. We have at our fingertips a world of knowledge covering every possible field. We can easily communicate with others all over the world at little cost. We should have advanced immensely in speaking with others. Everything should be in place for long stimulating conversations about every possible topic. Or so it would seem. However, we are not talking to others. Worse yet, it appears many people don’t even know how to speak to one another. We are all wired up and have nothing to say. Many have lost the art of conversation....

Bite Your Tongue! A Reflection on Common Sins of Speech Msgr. Charles Pope • October 8, 2017 • The Office of Readings this week features passages from the pastoral guide of St. Gregory the Great. In the opening line, Gregory reminds us: “A spiritual guide should be silent when discretion requires and speak when words are of service.”This is not easy. Indeed, self-mastery in speech is among the rarer gifts and usually comes later in life!Some of the most common sins we commit are related to speech: gossip, idle chatter, lies, exaggerations, harsh attacks, and uncharitable remarks. With our...

Former President Barack Obama received a $400,000 speaking fee for an appearance at an A&E Network event on Thursday. The news came amid controversy over Obama accepting a fee of the same size to appear at a Wall Street firm's conference. The "History Makers lunch" was hosted by A&E's history channel and attended by representatives of A&E advertisers, the New York Post reported. Those in attendance included Harvey Weinstein, Anna Wintour, Bob Sauerberg, Janice Min, and Penske Media CEO Jay Penske. Obama received a standing ovation on entering the room. The former president's appearance featured a 90 minute interview with...

There was a Defense Department Briefing at The Pentagon today, where Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Gen. Martin Dempsey answered questions. Carter has a SERIOUS "Uhhhh-uhhh uhhhh-uhhhhh" speech disorder. What a moron. Did 0dungo appoint him because he is an embarrassment? Couldn't 0dungo find someone who could talk in the public arena without saying "uhhhh-uhhh uhhh-uhhhh" every other word? UHHH-UHHHHHHH UHH-UHHHHHH PATHETIC!!!!

US President Barack Obama said on Monday that the bond between the US and Israel is unbreakable, despite tensions over differences in opinion with regard to efforts to seal a landmark atomic deal with Iran. In an interview with Reuters at the White House, Obama said that a rift over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned speech to Congress opposing the Iran deal on Tuesday was a distraction that would not be "permanently destructive" to US-Israeli ties. But he said there was a "substantial disagreement" between his administration and the Israeli government over how to achieve their shared goal of...

Members of the Obama administration continue to be confronted by President Obama’s statement to a group of illegal immigrant protesters in Chicago that he had taken action to “change the law” on immigration. “Did the president misspeak in a moment of passion to try to calm the crowd? Or do you fundamentally believe that he has taken action to change the law?” asked CBS reporter Major Garrett during the White House Press Briefing. White House press secretary Josh Earnest explained that Obama was “speaking colloquially” when he made his remarks. Earnest reaffirmed the White House position that it was the

First men became enamoured with grooming regimes, but now it seems the metrosexual man has started talking in a more feminine way too. A new study has revealed that modern men are starting to ‘uptalk’ by rising in pitch at the ends of sentences. The speech pattern is associated with young women from southern California, notably Clueless lead character Cher Horowitz, but is now common amongst younger people.

Sara Palin is a gifted politician. Her love of country is as clear as a winter's day. She could be a good president, maybe even a great one, depending on circumstances. She has all the attributes of a leader: she's personally charming, down-to-earth, she's attractive, but her writing drives me crazy! Every sentence she composes or utters in real-time is a convoluted mess of subordinate clauses. Every idea introduced gives way to a meandering aside, a parenthetical more

Barack Obama's oratory skills may have helped him win the White House in 2008, but his speaking prowess could be a liability in this year's presidential election, says Sam Leith, author of Words Like Loaded Pistols: Rhetoric From Aristotle to Obama. Rhetoric is central to democracy, says Leith. "You win elections by talking to people, by trying to persuade them, not only on what you're going to do, but that you're trustworthy." And, he says, Obama talked his way into the Oval Office with "amazing speeches" that invoked Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., and he even beat out...
