It's now past 100 days.  And, oh how "wonderful" we all must feel.  Judges are reversing Trump  at breakneck speed. But have no fear.  Trump is ignoring them.  And a certain judge is jailed (with ridiculous trumped-up charges).  Canada, Greenland, and Panama are in Trump's trigger.  We transgender folks are in Trump's trigger also.  And immigrants?  Bye, see ya later (or not!).  Even citizens are not safe.  And the Dow Jones?  Can you sing free fallin'?  You wanna see a movie, just to relax?  If it's produced anywhere outside the United States, you'll pay a 100 percent tax!!!


And Trump blames Joe Biden???

But you CAN do something.   Hands Off is a great place  to start. Indivisible  is another great place.  If  you want to get to a really adventurous trek, start your own protest!  It doesn't matter if you're  from Scott TownshipConynghamFallston , Tamaqua   or Cornplanter Township in  Pennsylvania -  or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!

ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air.  Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure BS. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him. 

By the way, if you're free, Ed broadcasts live on 1) most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm, and 2) most Wednesday afternoons at 12:00 pm, and 3) Monday afternoon also at 12:00 (Eastern time). (other time zones will vary)  (APPROXIMATE) If you click on in the times indicated. you'll see a little circular bloggette in the upper corner indicating "Church Without Walls - live" and today's date.  Click in this area, and with luck, you'll be in!  The correct address will be:

Leo XIV (Robert Prevost)

 


Leo XIV (earlier, Robert Prevost)

Well.

After Pope Francis was laid to rest, over a billion Catholics - and just as many interested non-Catholics - were buzzing about, wondering who the next Pope would be.

Who would have guessed that his childhood would be spent in Dolton, Illinois???

Well... the cardinals did have some idea.  When Donald Trump was elected to the presidency in 2024, his was a presidency by fiat.  No matter how people grumbled, (and believe me, I did) our voices were those in the wilderness.  

Then came Leo XIV.

Before Leo, JD Vance (Trump's veep) was arguably the boss of bosses.  Well, not any more.  He isn't even a part-time mail room boy any more.  When Leo talks, Catholics listen.  Especially when he was born in Chi-town!

It's only a day now. We have yet to see.  But whether you're a practicing Catholic or a popcorn-eating observer, this could be very  interesting. 😄
