Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

The statement claims that they’ve been deployed to protect ICE and federal property.

Big Game Hunter

A man dressed in a safari outfit including a pith helmet, monocle, and a big fluffy mustache, sits in a fluffy chair holding a glass of liquor on top of a rug that looks distinctly like Tigger from Disney's Winnie The Pooh's flayed skin. Further, behind him are mounted heads that look remarkably like Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear, and Mickey Mouse. The man opines "there is just such an exquisite thrill in the hunt- Even though they are such simple, oblivious creatures, God's innocents, it is a primal battle of wits. The really clever ones say things like 'No! Please! I'm not really Mickey, this is a costume. I'm just a guy in a suit. Someone call park security-' but I know their tricks. Oh no no, you shan't be dropping an anvil on MY head."

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

1) I very highly recommend to everyone this bombshell of a book by British investigative journalist Gareth Gore on Opus Dei. Reality is far more sordid than any goofy Dan Brown novel.

2) TIL when Paul VI repeatedly refused to see and oblige Escrivá, he explored moving "the Work" to Greek Orthodoxy

the specific language of “break bread with” and “visit him in prison” is so striking to me, used in condemnation this way

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 7d

DHS includes a bunch of false and defamatory statements in their tweet about Kilmar Abrego Garcia as they prepare to send him to Uganda.

DHS: With today's ruling, Kilmar Abrego Garcia's final order of removal stands.
This MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, domestic abuser, and child predator will never be loose on American streets.
His lawyers tried to fight his removal from the U.S. but one thing is certain, this Salvadoran man is not going to be able to remain in our country. He will never be allowed to prey on innocent Americans again.
Never forget the Democrats flew to a foreign land on the US taxpayer's dime to break bread with this terrorist gang member and visit him in prison. While they continue to fight for criminal illegal aliens, we will continue to put the safety of the American people FIRST.

The Mammonite Catholics of the Napa Institute are delivering the biggest howlers since the late Michael Novak declared that the entity most resembling the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53 today in its unfair vilification is "the modern American business corporation"

Profit, Christian Charity, and Economic Justice

Have you wondered if Jesus wants us to seek profit? If He does, what kind of profit would be good for the world?

area dort unaware of the fact that the founders didn't *want* soldiers in the streets

I never thought I’d live to see the day when some Americans would recoil at the sight of Soldiers guarding them.

All seemed to be well when the National Guard was in bareknuckle brawls during GWOT though.

Do you know how weird it was for us on active duty seeing them there? With us? Fighting?

I always wondered how we got to that point. Where the Guard of a state was fighting off ambushes in some foreign land.

Now they get to guard their own neighbors. Their own countrymen.

But those same Americans would shed a tear seeing those Guardsmen come home in caskets from a war nobody cared about.

Further proof that for some Americans and the media, they only love Soldiers when they’re dead.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
