I’m glad she’s keeping this up. It was one of the few initiatives of the previous administration that I genuinely admired.

Clergy and Lay Scholars Issue Filial Correction of Pope Francis
A group of clergy and lay scholars from around the world have taken the very rare step of presenting Pope Francis with a formal filial correction, accusing him of upholding seven heretical positions about “marriage, the moral life, and the reception of the sacraments” which, they say, has “caused these heretical opinions to spread in the Catholic Church.”
The signatories stress they are not accusing the Pope of formal heresy (when a person departs from the faith by doubting or denying some revealed truth with a full choice of the will), and are making “no judgment about Pope Francis’s culpability in propagating the seven heresies” as it is “not their task to judge about whether the sin of heresy has been committed.”
The 25 page letter was delivered to the Holy Father at his Santa Marta residence on Aug. 11. This is the first filial correction of a reigning Pontiff since Pope John XXII was admonished in 1333 for teaching that the souls in heaven wouldn’t see God completely until after the Last Judgment, a heresy he recanted on his deathbed.
Pope Francis has so far not responded.

MSM mum about Democrat corruption trial
After obsessing for months on the nothingburger Russia story, the news networks have again showed their absurdly biased faces in their treatment of the corruption trial of Democrat Senator Bob Menendez.
“For contrast, on just one day (September 18), CNN spent more than 45 minutes analyzing former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s 60-second appearance at the Emmy Awards ceremony the night before. And that total doesn’t include all of CNN’s coverage of the Emmys, just the portions specifically about Spicer.”

It is easier to smash than to build
I just finished reading Trial Run by Dick Francis. Written in 1978, it was largely set in Moscow, which I visited in 1972. I was there in early spring, the protagonist in late autumn, so the weather was somewhat different. But I found a lot of it felt the same as what I remember … a grim, gray city filled with unfriendly, unhappy people. Like the protagonist, I was giddy at returning to my home where, with all its faults, I could go where I chose, speak my mind freely, and smile at people.
These paragraphs from the very end of the book speak to me from across the decades. Terrorism was new back then. It isn’t now. Yet Francis captured its spirit so accurately.
“I looked across for the last time at the naked hate-filled faces of international terrorism, and thought about alienation and the destructive steps which led there.
“The intensifying to anger of the national scorn of youth for the mess their elders had made of the world. The desire to punish violently the objects of scorn. The death of love for parents. The permanent sneer for all forms of authority. The frustration of not being able to scourge the despised majority. And after that, the deeper, malignant distortions. . . . The self-delusion that one’s feelings of inadequacy were the fault of society, and that it was necessary to destroy society in order to feel adequate. The infliction of pain and fear, to feed the hungry ego. The total surrender of reason to raw emotion, in the illusion of being moved by a sort of divine rage. The choice of an unattainable end, so that the violent means could go on and on. The addictive orgasm of the act of laying waste.”
“‘What are you thinking?’ the Major General said.
“‘That they are self-indulgent.’ I turned away from them with a sense of release. ‘It is easier to smash than to build.'”

Facts and the Liberal Agenda
“President Trump’s total vindication over his wiretap claim reminds me of one of the most important things I have discovered over the past couple of years: If the national media loses its ever-loving mind and launches a campaign to brand Trump a liar, that can mean only one thing — that Trump is not only telling the truth, he is telling a Big Truth, an inconvenient truth, a truth the MSM does not want the American people to hear.” – Nick Nolte
- In February 2017, The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, McClatchy, NBC News, ABC News, the BBC, CBS News, and the Associated Press all gleefully trumpeted the news that the Obama administration had used the mighty powers of the federal government to spy on Team Trump, including outright “wiretaps.”
- In March 2017, Trump said the same thing, at which point the Left Stream Media embarked on a six month lying spree, during which they ignored that their own reporting ever existed. They even went so far as to attack media outlets like Breitbart that continued to tell the truth about Obama’s abuse of power.
“In a coordinated campaign, almost every media outlet in the country, almost every Big Shot reporter in America, purposely and with the intent to deceive, looked you dead in the eye and LIED to you; repeatedly gaslighted, swindled, conned, and hustled you. Oh, and so did the media’s chief bootlickers — those pathetic, cowardly, lying liars in the #NeverTrump crowd.” – Nick Nolte

Worth watching
“It’s immoral to act if it’s not going to make a difference and it is going to hurt poor people.” I wish Pope Francis would listen to this guy!

Multiculturalism is crap
We all know this is true, including those who defend multiculturalism, all the while CONDEMNING Western Civilization! After all, if ALL cultures are EQUAL, then that should include OURS. Dinesh D’Souza talks about why our values are worth defending not merely because they are ours, but because they are good.
