Pope Francis: Wrong Again
On October 11, 2017, Pope Francis said the Catechism of the Catholic Church should be revised to reflect his opinion that capital punishment is contrary to the Gospel.
He’s wrong. The teaching of the Church on the permissibly of capital punishment has stood for 20 centuries and it’s taken from Divine Revelation, which means it is infallible, and not subject to change, not even by a pope.

Late Night Hosts So Disgusted by Harvey Weinstein Scandal They Refuse to Even Mention His Name
From The Babylon Bee.
U.S.—Since the shocking revelation last week of Hollywood boss Harvey Weinstein’s decades-long reign of habitual sexual harassment and assault on coworkers and associates, during which he allegedly paid off at least eight women to keep quiet about the abuse, a source close to the nation’s most popular late night hosts revealed that they are all so disgusted by Weinstein’s harmful and deviant actions that they refuse to even mention his name.
“Even though they lampooned people like Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly after similar allegations, what Weinstein has done is so grotesque and at odds with their values that they won’t so much as utter his name on their shows,” the source with direct access to Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and James Corden said, adding that it is “utterly detestable” to them that one of the most powerful men in Hollywood used his immense wealth and influence to shame and silence his victims for three decades.
“Some of them tried to practice pieces on this scandal in their show rehearsals, and it was just too much for them. They ended up either too physically ill to continue, or in a puddle of tears out of grief for the many victims of this monster,” he also revealed.
The anonymous source also added that Weinstein’s vocal support of myriad liberal causes, his unabashed support of feminism, and his participation in activities such as women’s marches, only made the scandal that much more horrendous—until it was more than the popular TV personalities could bear.
“They’re just hoping their silence shames him,” he added.

There is a gubenatorial contest in less than a month in Ting’s home state of Virginia. Apparently that vicious punk Terry McAuliffe must be term limited. I can’t see any of these rodents giving up power for any other reason.
New Polls Show Ralph Northam Leads Virginia Gubernatorial Race But Ed Gillespie Within Striking Distance
With barely a month to go before Virginians choose their next governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general, all three Democratic candidates maintain statistically significant leads over their Republican rivals, according to a Wason Center survey of likely voters. At the top of the ticket, current Democratic Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam leads former Republican National Committee Chair Ed Gillespie, 49% to 42%, with Libertarian Cliff Hyra taking 3% of the vote and another 6% still undecided.

Trump is overwriting Obama’s unlawful green schemes
EVEN THOUGH SCOTUS RULED AGAINST HIM TIME AND AGAIN, THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. COMPANIES SPENT BILLIONS TO RETROFIT THEIR FACILITIES TO CONFORM WITH THE ILLEGAL REGULATIONS. DEMOCRATS SAY THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO UNDO THE CHANGES BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE MORE COST INVOLVED.
In his impatience with Congress and his administrative imperiousness, Obama dispensed with all that. What he imposed unilaterally is subject to unilateral reversal.
The rollback will encounter its own regulatory and legal obstacles but can be achieved more readily than if Obama had been able to (or bothered to) write a swath of his legacy into law.

Feinstein’s Reelection Bid Faces Opposition From the Left

At least one liberal journalist, Markos Moulitsas, founder of the progressive Daily Kos and co-founder of Vox Media, reached out directly to De León, an outspoken opponent of President Donald Trump who is pushing a sanctuary state law in California, offering to work together to beat “the most pro-Trump Blue-state Dem in the country [Feinstein].”
Obama’s Chicago Presidential Library Taking Criticism for Having No Records for Scholars to View
THERE IS A REASON WHY HE HAD ALL HIS RECORDS SEALED BY COURT ORDER BEFORE HE STARTED HIS POLITICAL ACT. PEOPLE WOULD REALIZE HE WAS GIVEN A PASS SOLELY BECAUSE OF HIS RACE. HE WAS FAR TOO LAZY TO APPLY HIMSELF, THAT WAS FOR OTHER, LESS GIFTED PEOPLE TO DO.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the Obama library seems more like a playland than a presidential archive. The facility will house “a children’s play garden, sledding hill, green spaces for picnics and outdoor gatherings, basketball courts and even a recording studio,” the paper reported.
But now the winning school, the University of Chicago, is wondering if all they will really get is an overgrown community center.
“This is going to be completely different,” Foundation CEO David Simas said at a recent event. “What the president and first lady said … is they simply did not want a museum that served as a mausoleum, as a way to look back.”
Indeed, James “Skip” Rutherford, the current dean of the William J. Clinton School of Public Service, insisted that the paper records aren’t really that important.

REPORT: NFL Players Are Now ‘Scared’ To Take a Knee, ‘People Have to Feed They Family’
“FEED THEY FAMILY”… THAT’S A DIRECT QUOTE. I USE STREET SLANG ON OCCASION TO MOCK THE CULTURE
According to The Root, who spoke with multiple NFL players on background, teams have ordered players to stand for the anthem. Players who wish to protest do so at their own career peril. The report indicates that many players are “scared” to protest, especially if they are not starters, “People have to feed they family,” the one member of the coaching staff says.

University of Oregon Students Shut Down Speech by University President
“Nothing about us without us!”
University of Oregon President Michael Schill was supposed to deliver a speech last week about a $50 million dollar gift to the school. Before he could even take the stage, the event was taken over by student protesters.
The protesters claimed they weren’t part of any single cause but chanted “Nothing about us without us” implying that they demanded to be part of any decisions made by the school.

Shorter Harvey Weinstein: ‘I’m a Liberal, Maybe Gimme a Pass?’
This is grotesquely brazen. Because it’s so transparently obvious what Harvey Weinstein is saying here: “Guys, I’m a liberal, I’m going to go after the NRA, I’m going to make a movie that’s about how terrible Trump is, I’m giving money to liberal causes, whaddaya say about maybe giving me a pass here, huh?”
I would be flabbergasted by the brazenness of it all if I hadn’t just read several thousand words about him trying to get well-known actresses to give him rubdowns in the nude or trying to get a pass from grabbing the breasts of models and writing it off as, hey, just part of my job. What a remarkable scumbag. What a disgusting ploy.

Hypocrisy on Parade
Early this morning a friend who is in a private Facebook group with us was talking about the Vice President attending the NFL game in Indianapolis yesterday, since he is the former governor of that state and was there for the dedication of the statue of NFL great Peyton Manning. Before the national anthem, in an obvious ‘in your face,’ twenty of those overpaid neanderthals took the now-familiar knee. Pence walked out before the game started.
Some troll on FB piped in, whining about how much taxpayer money it cost for him to attend the game and pull this ‘publicity stunt.’ Never one to deprive myself of an emotional outlet, I let him have it about why liberals are suddenly concerned with the cost of anything and advised him that Trump was president and suggested he get over it. He angrily sent me a request to IM him, obviously so he could spit more of the all too familiar venom they’re known for when they have no facts. I declined, since I could have just as intelligent conversation with a potholder without the profanity.
Pence Leaves Colts Game In Disgust After 49ers Kneel During National Anthem

Reporters are attacking Vice President Mike Pence for walking out on the Indianapolis Colts-San Francisco 49ers NFL game Sunday afternoon after nearly two dozen visiting 49ers took a knee in protest during the playing of the National Anthem. Pence’s principled stand was called a stunt and mocked as ‘wag the flag’ by reporters.

Left-stream media predictably put on an all-out blitz against the VP.

Bowe Bergdahl to Plead Guilty to Desertion, Misbehavior Before the Enemy to Avoid Trial
I HEAR FORT LEAVENWORTH IS LOVELY THIS TIME OF YEAR
The decision [to plead guilty] by the 31-year-old Idaho native leaves open whether he will return to captivity for years — this time in a U.S. prison — or receive a lesser sentence that reflects the time the Taliban held him under brutal conditions. He says he had been caged, kept in darkness, beaten and chained to a bed.
Bergdahl is now facing up to five years on the desertion charge and life behind bars for misbehavior before the enemy.

It’s a New York thing! SNL creator Lorne Michaels reveals the show gave Harvey Weinstein a pass because the shamed movie mogul is from his city (but so is Trump)
Lorne Michaels was filmed leaving SNL’s after-party in New York at about 4am
•When he was asked why the show avoided the Weinstein controversy, he smiled and responded: ‘It’s a New York thing’
•The show had earlier been criticized for not mentioning the sexual harassment allegations leveled against Weinstein this week
•An audience member has since revealed the cast did try out a Weinstein joke during a dress rehearsal but it was cut before it went to air
•The joke apparently got a big reaction from the audience
•SNL regularly pokes fun of President Donald Trump who hails from New York
•Social media users were quick to slam the show’s hypocrisy in not going after one of Hollywood’s biggest players following the allegations
‘Why didn’t big mouth Michael Che say anything about Harvey Weinstein on SNL ‘Weekend Update’? He’s got so much opinion about everything else,’ Pastor Darrell Scott tweeted.
Another person tweeted: ‘That is why the political left is OK w/ abandoning but the celebrity left (SNL late night hosts) isn’t.’

Let go and let God
Stress is a physiological response to a perceived threat. Three of the most obvious physical responses are commonly known as Freeze, Fight, and Flight.
- Freeze: We become hyper alert to threat indicators, lifting our heads up to look and listen, which involves tightening neck and shoulder muscles.
- Fight: We tighten our hands in preparation for battle.
- Flight: We tighten our feet in preparation for running away.
These stress responses are really important to surviving muggers and bears, etc., and cause no long term damage when the stress is relieved in short order.
This is not true when they become chronic responses to problems that cannot be resolved quickly or through Freezing, Fighting, or Fleeing.
This summer, I’ve been having a lot of trouble with pain and stiffness in my feet. A couple of weeks ago, I remembered that a pain therapist had me roll a golf ball under my bare feet to relieve stress. It undoes the Flight tension.
Like this:
Making “fists with your toes” also undoes the tension in the feet caused by fear, in this case, of flying. It’s bio-feedback on the cheap.
Since I’ve been processing a lot of old fear memories this summer, I ordered a box of used golf balls from Amazon. Now I’ve got one each in two fabric-lined box lids, one here by my office chair and the other out by my spot on the couch. I figure it couldn’t hurt to roll my feet on them a little bit, several times a day, while reciting the surrender prayer.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything. Amen.
Yesterday, the idea of worry balls came into my head and I realized they are relaxing, because they relieve Fight tension in the hands. So I added two more golf balls to my little prayer regimen. They don’t jingle like Chinese meditation balls, but they roll just fine. Good thing I bought a box of a dozen balls! 🙂
Finally, during the night, when my shoulders and neck were hurting, I thought about Freeze stress. Today, I started also pressing a golf ball into the two hot spots I have on each side of my neck and shoulders.
This stuff actually seems to help and it’s dirt cheap, so I thought I’d share in case you, too, are looking for ways to help yourself …

In 1492, Apparently Nothing Happened
There has existed a movement for some time to remove all references to Christopher Columbus, including his statues and the designation of today as Columbus Day, a holiday for federal employees and financial institutions. The snowflakes want to change the name to “Indigenous Peoples Day,” just as they want to refer to Christmas as “winter holiday.”
President Trump Issues “Columbus Day Proclamation” without Obama’s Hand-wringing Apologies
How refeshing is it to have a President who actually works to preserve and honor our History as Americans? Barack Obama worked his entire eight years to denigrate and undermine our common culture and History as Americans. Not Trump. Every Conservative – every American – should support Donald Trump in his desire to preserve our History. Our history and tradition of observing Columbus Day is a good example

The History Behind the Movement to Replace Columbus Day With Indigenous Peoples’ Day
While the Federal Government will close on Oct. 9 for the 80th commemoration of Columbus Day, which was made official by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1937, some U. S. cities will mark the day in a different way, choosing rather to focus on the original inhabitants of the land to which Christopher Columbus sailed.

Italian-Americans fight against movement to abolish Columbus Day
But the gesture to recognize indigenous people rather than the man who opened the Americas to European domination also has prompted howls of outrage from some Italian-Americans, who say eliminating their festival of ethnic pride is culturally insensitive, too.

Columbus, the West, and the Myth of the Noble Savage
For starters, those who were long recognized as American Indians constituted anything but a monolith but, rather, many tribes or nations.
Secondly, American Indians comprised numerous tribes or nations that were continuously at war with one another.
Thirdly, these wars were distinctively bloody and savage.
The Myth of the Noble Savage, a uniquely European fiction that Columbus himself initially endorsed, has long exposed as just that by anthropological and archaeological research.

Religious Liberty Restored!
President Trump has delivered!
The HHS Mandate will no longer be enforced against organizations with a sincerely held religious or moral objection. The exemption must be granted to anyone with a reasonable objection who requests it. The days of pleading for a waiver are over.
What’s more, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a powerful memorandum about religious liberty to all federal agencies and departments. Among other things, it says:
- The freedom of religion is an important, fundamental right, expressly protected by federal law.
- The freedom of religion extends to persons and organizations.
- Government may not officially favor or disfavor particular religious groups.
- Religious employers are entitled to employ only persons whose beliefs and conduct are consistent with the employers’ religious precepts.
- The federal government may not condition federal grants or contracts on the religious organization altering its religious character, beliefs, or activities.
The burden of proof has finally shifted back to the government where it belongs. This is a great leap forward for our First Amendment right to religious freedom.
