Here's an interesting tidbit, something I did not know. Seems Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, is banned from receiving communion in the Catholic church.
Per my church bulletin this week:
"Senator Durbin was among 14 Catholic members of the U.S. Senate who voted against the Pain-Capable Unborn Children's Act last month."

The Facebook Discussion:
Mark Zuckerberg is due to testify before congress tomorrow and for the life of me I don't know what this is all about.
Of course Facebook reveals our spending habits, the sites we visit, the stuff we order.
It's when this outfit starts selling our data to political firms that it gets a bit much.
We'll be listening to the testimony one way or the other.

The International Criminal Court at The Hague may prosecute Israel over the deaths of Arab rioters who clashed with IDF forces on the Gaza-Israel frontier over the past week and a half, a top ICC official warned Sunday.
Chief Prosecutor for the ICC Fatou Bensouda issued a statement Sunday demanding an end to the use of violence on the border between Israel and Gaza, and suggested that both Israel and the Hamas terror organization could be held responsible for the deaths of some 30 Arab rioters and terrorists killed since activists launched six weeks of violent protests on the frontier on March 30th.

Yes I am paying attention to the invasion of President Trump's attorney and I am incensed, like most of America.
Soon it will be all of us.
Soon the FBI will take over, the federal police force, the police state.

As I write I watch Mark Zuckerberg testifying before congress.
He looks like he's 12 years old.
Keeping eagle eye upon.

If this country has learned nothing in this first year of Donald Trump's presidency, it's that the FBI is corrupt and really, really bad.
How well I remember the Hatfill guy, accused for years by dumb bell Mueller, THEY EVEN DRAINED HIS BACKYARD POND!
Only Hatfill didn't send out packets of anthrax and Whitey Bulger was having people murdered while he was an FBI informant and with killer Mueller's full knowledge.
Folks, we have a federal police force and you haven't learned that now, learn it soon.
And here I type this on Facebook.
They already cut me off once.
Cause people that talk bad about the lovely, lovely, sweet, fair and kind-hearted Robert Mueller….bad things happen to them.

So I watched Mike Pompeo's testimony before the intelligence committee in congress.
I was quite impressed.
First, once upon a time he said, somewhere, that he thought that marriage between same sexes is an abomination.
Well a lot of people believe that.
Another browbeating senator asked Pompeo is the thought same-sex couples in the State department were abominations.
"I treat everyone who works for me, no matter their sexual orientation, with respect and dignity.
They were trying to get the guy.
Jerks.

Comey's book a laughing stock.
"Comey: Getting wedgies as a kid in N.J. prepared me for Trump "

Decades before former FBI Director James Comey says he faced the mob boss-like tactics of President Trump, the fired lawman got an early lesson in bullies growing up in Allendale, he writes.
In Comey's book, "A Higher Loyalty," the 1978 Northern Highlands Regional High School graduate describes suffering through body-shaming, wedgies and getting shoved into lockers, according to the Washington Post, which obtained an advance copy of the already best-seller.
Comey, who says Trump demanded a loyalty pledge, links lessons from his upbringing in Bergen County to his public clash with the president. Trump ultimately canned Comey amid the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
"Surviving a bully requires constant learning and adaptation. Which is why bullies are so powerful, because it's so much easier to be a follower, to go with the crowd, to just blend in," Comey writes.
The future FBI chief faced other traumatic experiences growing up in a leafy section of Bergen County. At 15, Comey was held captive by a gun-toting assailant dubbed the "Ramsey Rapist."
