2018_06 17 Father's Day

JUST A THOUGHT: Despite my having loads of rude stuff in my social media about how much I disliked both the Obamas, I routinely got offers to wish them a happy birthday/anniversary/mother’s-father’s day. I clicked on a couple of them and found they required one pony up the $$ for the privilege of signing the “card.” President Trump’s birthday was last week on Flag Day and today is Father’s Day. Despite having loads of stuff in my social media showing me to be a Trump fan, I haven’t gotten a single thing offering me the opportunity to wish him a happy whatever (while donating to the GOP).

Proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation

The following is my very-much-shortened version of an essay circulating the internet that starts “I was a Catholic once.” I found what I think may be the original net posting: “How Do Catholics Hear The Gospel?” by Gary Michuta (from Hands-On Apologetics, March/Apirl 1997. Copyright Thy Faith, Inc. 1997).

MAGA RULES: With 90% negative media coverage, Trump has still managed to impress the American people. His approval rating just hit 45%. At this point in their administrations, Obama and Reagan were at 44%.

VOTER FRAUD WIN: SCOTUS just ruled that swing state Ohio can purge voters from the state’s registration records if they fail to vote multiple time, then also fail to respond to a written notification. This is a blow to Democrats who rely on messy voter rolls in order for people to vote multiple times.

BLACKS ARE NOTICING: President Trump recently pardoned Alice Johnson, a 63-year-old grandmother and first time offender, who was given a life sentence with no chance of parole over a non-violent drug charge. Trump also issued a pardon posthumously for heavyweight champion boxer, Jack Johnson, who was convicted on an old, racist law called the Mann Act, which banned a black man from transporting a white woman across state lines for “immoral purposes.” Johnson married the woman in question. The key point in both these cases is that the convicted were both African-Americans whose pleas for pardon were REJECTED BY OBAMA … who pardoned more criminals than any president since FDR, including hundreds of drug dealers.
