Uhuh- there are too many of us who refuse to go along, and they can’t get rid of that many people before hell happens-we are on the way to being two countries-maybe more-unless something really good happens in November...
Thank you!

He can hang it on the wall in his kitchen, next to his commie propaganda.
Winston Wept.
Give Obama time to catch up, we have the midterms coming up and he will need to lie to have any hope of passing more of his leftist crap.
Freaky. They present many errors in Catholic teaching, but even the Lutherans are making fun of him. Sad state of affairs.
Did you read the ny times piece I linked this AM?

Chicken Corn Chowder in the crockpot. Biscuits, too. And Peanut Blossoms just out of the oven. Smells good here.
Does sound good. We have flash floods here I keep getting alerts on my phone. The one way into our neighborhood is actually closed. And I’ve gotten two emergency alerts on my phone about flooding.
I’m grilling chicken leg quarters, and I’ve got the rest of the baby greens and fresh raw zucchini for veggies-and my compadre gave me a bottle of Shiraz for helping him collect over-90 day balances from 2 customers without losing them. I’ll probably just save that for a special occasion, if I ever come across one...
Stay dry and safe-I wish we would get some decent rain, but it floods at more than one drop of rain here, too.

While I am concerned with PopeF’s foibles, I am sure God has a firm hand on His church. We have had bad, if not evil, popes before and most likely will again.
Viatical mental illness (either the 1st step or confirmation):

oh, boy.........someone is going to reeducation camp, and I am betting it’s not the haphazard shep.
it’s too little too late. I don’t watch much FOXNews anymore. Not much means I don’t ever turn it on. If I do it lasts till the first pundit idiot says something that annoys me. two minutes has been the rule for months now.
