"We do know that there is a miscommunication in this situation. We don't know the exact cause. We have narrowed it down to one of two things." Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran
Quote II
"I really believe folks are tired of it. They’re tired of the hours and hours and hours of time that has been spent on it, they’re tired of the millions of dollars that have been spent on it, and they want to move forward,"Rep. Jeff Van Drew (DR-NJ)

How does the Pope square Matthew 28:19 & Mark 16:15 to his thoughts on evangelism?
The Pope's lengthy answer, reprinted in full at the bottom of this article, contained numerous notable remarks illustrating the Pope's views on evangelism, including: [Speaking of having Jewish and Muslim friends]: "We are all the same, all children of God." "It didn't occur to me, and it doesn't have to be like, saying to a boy or a girl: 'You are Jewish, you are Muslim: come, be converted!'" "We are not in the times of the crusades." "In front of an unbeliever the last thing I have to do is try to convince him. Never." "But listen: Never, never bring the gospel by proselytizing." "If someone says they are a disciple of Jesus and comes to you with proselytism, they are not a disciple of Jesus." "The Church does not grow by proselytism."
Don't believe in Grinch or Scrooge? Let me present you, drum roll please, Brody Middle School principal Thomas Hoffman.
Thanks to the Social Justice Grinch, a class of middle school students from Iowa almost missed out on a pizza party they’d worked hard to earn. The story begins at Brody Middle School in Des Moines, where teacher Amy Benjamin recently pledged to reward her students for their good behavior by hosting an in-class pizza party for them. There’s nothing unusual about that, right? It’s long been a tradition to reward students with pizza parties. Come the day of the pizza party, Benjamin ordered the pizza, paid for it and signed the receipt. But before she could share the pizza with her students, something foul happened. In a Facebook post published Thursday afternoon, not too long after this happened, one of the students’ parents, Neil Erickson, explained everything:
My son attends Brody Middle School here in Des Moines. His class earned a pizza party that I believe the teacher paid for. He has been excited for this for days…telling me about it and how they earned it. Well today was the day. The pizzas were delivered to the class…the teacher paid and signed the receipt. Principal walks into the classroom and says “I never approve pizza parties” or something to that affect. He took the pizzas from the kids and let them sit in the office for the teacher to pick up after school.
Now my son and his classmates lost the party they worked hard to earn and the pizza I'm sure is wasted now…and the teacher was left in tears. I just cant believe it! UPDATE: The pizzas were not taken for staff to eat...they were boxed back up to rot so the teacher can take them home at the end of the day. He wrote that before the pizza party could even begin, Brody Middle School principal Thomas Hoffman stormed into the classroom and seized the pizzas like a grinch. Like the Social Justice Grinch, to be more exact.
I think if the teacher had been Andrew Benjamin instead of Amy Benjamin the SJW misogynist Hoffman would have backed off. When so many teachers are concerned about their paycheck and pension plans Ms Benjamin displayed that she cared about her students. I hope that the adults in this particular school system relieves a certain principal of his duties, permanently.
I'm confused. Are you?
A transgender woman facing disciplinary action over a T-shirt stating that she is still biologically a man has been accused of “hate speech”. Debbie Hayton, a physics teacher in the Midlands, lives as a transgender women after changing her gender from male to female in 2012. But unlike many people in the trans-community, she does not believe her sex can be changed and is vocal about the fact that she will always biologically remain a man.
So he's a pretend chick with a dick and hateful?
The Nanny State, Alive and well under President Trump.
By signing the $738 billion Defense Spending Bill, on Friday, President Donald Trump has raised the legal age for smoking to 21 nationwide — news that went largely unnoticed. The new rules include cigarettes and e-cigarettes. The smoking age hike had bipartisan support in the Senate, and was co-authored by Democrats Brian Schatz and Dick Durbin, and Republicans Mitt Romney and Todd Young, CNN reported. Now that Trump’s signature is on the bill, the Food and Drug Administration has 180 days to update its regulations — and the new age requirement will go into effect 90 days later, ABC News reported.
Let me get this straight, an 18 year old can vote, join the military, die for our country, buy legal marijuana, marry. But by God he/she/it can't have a cigarette. SMH
While we are on the subject of the Nanny State, Government officials want to ban Ham Radio.
HAM Radio has been around since the very beginning of radio, back in the 1890s. A loose-knit, but globe-spanning group, they are brought together by their common love for what they do. They are not a club, but comprise many clubs together. While mostly ignored and left to their devices, HAM Radio operators provide several essential services, such as providing military personnel in hazardous duty postings overseas a means of talking to their families. When other communications fail, it is the HAM Radio operators who provide emergency communications to the nations. Yet HAM Radio may be in trouble. It appears that there are those in government service who don’t like the idea of a group of people who can do things the government can’t do for themselves; and HAM Radio operators have a long history of doing just that. When Admiral Byrd led his expedition to the South Pole, the Navy couldn’t maintain contact with him. But a HAM Radio operator by the name of Collins could, leading that HAM to create the Collins Radio Company to build his equipment and sell it to the Navy.

The Ghost of Candidates Past
Speaking of candidates..............
Instead of naming your vehicle Brad, Maybe you should name it Rosenberg, after the famed spies.
We're at a turning point for driving surveillance: In the 2020 model year, most new cars sold in the United States will come with built-in Internet connections, including 100 percent of Fords, GMs and BMWs and all but one model Toyota and Volkswagen. (This independent cellular service is often included free, or sold as an add-on.) Cars are becoming smartphones on wheels, sending and receiving data from apps, insurance firms and pretty much wherever their makers want. Some brands even reserve the right to use the data to track you down if you don't pay your bills. When I buy a car, I assume the data I produce is owned by me - or at least is controlled by me. Many automakers do not. They act like how and where we drive, also known as telematics, isn't personal information. Cars now run on the new oil: your data. It is fundamental to a future of transportation where vehicles drive themselves and we hop into whatever one is going our way. Data isn't the enemy. Connected cars already do good things like improve safety and send you service alerts that are much more helpful than a check-engine light in the dash.
Let nobody tell you that the second decade of the 21st century has been a bad time. We are living through the greatest improvement in human living standards in history. Extreme poverty has fallen below 10 percent of the world’s population for the first time. It was 60 percent when I was born. Global inequality has been plunging as Africa and Asia experience faster economic growth than Europe and North America; child mortality has fallen to record low levels; famine virtually went extinct; malaria, polio and heart disease are all in decline. Little of this made the news, because good news is no news. But I’ve been watching it all closely. Ever since I wrote The Rational Optimist in 2010, I’ve been faced with ‘what about…’ questions: what about the great recession, the euro crisis, Syria, Ukraine, Donald Trump? How can I possibly say that things are getting better, given all that? The answer is: because bad things happen while the world still gets better. Yet get better it does, and it has done so over the course of this decade at a rate that has astonished even starry-eyed me.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot: Shooting that injured 13 at memorial party in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood 'an act of cowardice’ The violence began about 12:40 a.m. at a house party in the 5700 block of South May Street commemorating the birthday of a man who died in a previous shooting. Someone at the party opened fire, sending 13 people to area hospitals, according to Chicago police. The injured ranged in age from 16 to 48, and a 16-year-old boy was one of those in critical condition, though it was later improved to “serious,” said Fred Waller, who heads the patrol division for Chicago police.
Always and I mean always celebrate the Sammich Artist. Genius Award Winner.
AVONDALE, Ariz. — Police arrested a woman after she allegedly tried to light her boyfriend on fire because he would not celebrate with her after she got hired at a Subway restaurant, according to court documents. Kathy Jones, 46, now faces charges of aggravated assault and criminal damage. According to the police report, Jones told officers she had two Smirnoff Ice alcoholic beverages and two "strong" mixed drinks that contained rum that night.
Here, have my seat. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
Jack and his family purchased seats In our upper class cabin for a flight home from New York, but when he got onboard, Jack went and found violet in economy and swapped seats with her. He then sat on the row of seats directly next to the economy toilets and never made a peep or asked for anything the rest of the flight. No fuss, no attention, literally did it out of the kindness of his own heart, no one asked him too.

The excellent Second City Cop blog had some pungent comments about this (the shooting took place in Englewood, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago):
why is there a party for a dead guy, who was shot and killed when he attempted to carjack a Concealed Carry Permit holder while he was already in another stolen car?

And a shout out to aldercreature Coleman who actually said on camera that this isn't "representative" of Englewood. We don't know where you've been lately aldercreature, but this is EXACTLY representative of Englewood for our lifetimes, and we're nearing the half-century mark.

H7, Good to know there is another Don Camillo fan here, but I would have expected nothing less!
Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar knows that EDKH
Don Camillo secrets himself in a Communist tour of the Soviet Union. He and Peppone are told by an expatriate about the nearby location of a mass grave of massacred Italian prisoners.
"Breaking into a run they came soon enough to the ditch and the great hedge. Don Camillo saw that the water in the ditch was thick ice. He dropped onto it and continued on his way towards the great oak, which seemed to reach through the intricacy of its bare branches up to the sky.
"Coming to the foot of the tree they climbed up the side of the ditch through an opening in the hedge into a large field with green shoots of corn. They were loath to contemplate the image of hopeless misery that lay before them.
"Don Camillo shook himself and, turning to the trunk of the big oak tree, removed with a trembling hand some of the great strands of ivy that covered it.
"When he found what he was looking for - etched into the bark was a cross and a date, 27.XII.1941, and a short word, 'Italia' - he gently replaced the tendrils of ivy.
"Peppone, who had removed his cap, stood contemplating the cornfield, thinking back to those rustic crosses which would have been placed there in remembrance and were now gone, and of the crumbling bones of his people buried now in the cold ground. And the wind-chill penetrated his heart.
"'Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetuus luceat eis...'
"Peppone came to and turning saw that at the foot of the oak tree, under the rude cross that Stephan had carved on it, Don Camillo was celebrating the Mass for the Dead.
"'Deus, cuius miseratione animae fidelium requiescunt: famulis et famulabus tuis, et omnibus hic et ubiqe in Christo quiescentibus, da propitius veniam peccatorum; ut a cunctis reatibus absoluti, tecum sine fine laetentur. Per eumdem Dominum...'
"The wind blew across the great desolate plain, and the tender seedlings of wheat throbbed with life.
"'My son, where are you?'
"Peppone remembered the despairing cry of the headline of a melancholy magazine story he had once seen...
"'Where are you, my son?'"
It's always dusty in the room when I read this.

The problem isn't anything specific Trump's done. It's a simple social fact: If Trump wins in 2020, the country will be ripped apart. If Trump loses, that's unlikely to happen.
Yep, because the Left is insane, and has lost their minds, we should give the 2020 election to them, out of fear of what they'll do if they lose. If Trump supporters lose, they'll be reasonable, you see.
My initial response is: "that's what we have the National Guard and the Army for".
But then Kaus (who lives in Los Angeles), brings out the Big Threat:
You can take to the bank a secession movement in one-party California.
I think Kaus might be astonished to see how much bipartisan support there is for California succession - imagine how the political map of the United States would change without California (particularly since campaign contributions from California would then be illegal).
Of course, we'd want to keep the red parts of California (about half the state, geographically), as well as enough of the coast to retain Camp Pendelton and the Navy base at San Diego.
But even if you are a hard core Trump voter, you have to think about it, if you're a patriot. Do you want your country ripped apart?
FU, Mickey. If your argument is that the Right should cede the election because the Right isn't violent and irrational enough, well, that can be changed.
If Los Angeles burns down in response to Trump getting reelected, that's kind of your problem, isn't it? Not a lot of Trump voters in LA.

Just like Trump's Ukraine call. Ignore the liars, read the transcript.
Though the Pope is rambling, he is aware of Election, in principle, but is unfamiliar with the Reformed Protestant Doctrines of Grace which fully describes Election.
What I believe the Pope is saying, is that you can't coerce people into saving faith. The Evangelicals (mostly the American Religion) who push the heresy of Free Will, believe that people can be emotionally manipulated into making a Choice for Christ. The Pope doesn't buy that at all - good for him.
This explains the proselytizing statement. Too many people think that the word means sharing your faith. Others view it as the crazy guy on the street corner with a full size wooden cross on his shoulder yelling at passers by that they will burn in Hell for their unrepentant sins. I'm guessing that the Pope believes that proselytizing is a form of sincere badgering of people to take on your faith.
How one squares this with The Great Commission is to understand that one is expected to proclaim the Good News. It is entirely possible to work the Gospel into a conversation; the Pope appears to be cautioning people into not harassing those who are not interested. In deed, our LORD told the disciples to "knock the dust off of their sandals" and to proceed to the next town if those who were given the Good News didn't care to hear it.
Since Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, the necessary first step is to actually proclaim the Word of God. The Pope is a bit more low key in this regard and says live your life a certain way so that others will question and give you opportunity to tell them.
The Billy Sunday/Charles Finney crowd says, emulate the world and entertain them with modified secular music, happy-happy sanguine pep-talks, and shower them with social programs. Somehow through this noise they are supposed to make the correct Free Will Choice.
The Reformers envisioned, proclaim the Gospel, let the Paraclete transform the heart and regenerate the spirit and draw the person to salvation (provided that they are of the Elect). Since Reformers don't know of the unregenerate who is the Elect and who are predestined to reprobation, just wisely proclaim the Good News.
Again, the Pope doesn't seem to understand regeneration, sanctification and justification (this is typical of Roman Catholics so he is playing to type). This also explains why Rome believes in faith plus works plus The Church.
Since The Church, Holy Tradition and works are such large functions of Roman salvation, it is easy to see how these same categories of elements, common to other monotheistic faiths, are separate vectors to heaven.
Mother Theresa also died and is burning in Hell now because she rejected the exclusive claims of Christianity in that salvation is in the authority of Scripture alone, saved through faith alone, by God's Grace alone through His Son's work alone, for the glory of God alone.

The Pope, if ever a Christian, which I doubt, is now a servant of Darkness and probably spends most of his nights licking Satan's taint clean, when he isn't buggering babies. And animals. And baby animals.
He literally espouses Satan's Gospel in his every word and deed.

I also think he overestimates the extent to which the country will be "ripped apart" - if Antifa chooses to burn down all the blue central cities in the United States, as the cops stand aside, that isn't going to affect a very large part of the US.

(really)
as some of you will revall, i have GI issues that can leave me in a position where i need a facility NOW, to delay, no way to wait, NOW.
as such, i carry empty wine boxes in the crew cab part of my truck, and use them when Mother Nature is being demanding.
that way i can take care of business, then take the leftovers with me to dispose of properly, because, while i may be shitting in public (as discretely as possible) i am not a Fing vagrant.
the used box rides in the load bed until i either get home, or see a suitable dumpster somewhere.
i had one in the back of the trunk from about noon on, stopping at the VA, Home Despot, Trader Joes and Vons before getting home and starting dinner.
went out to get the last items from the cab, and went to toss the box.
some genius stole it.
so Merry Christmas you would be Grinch: you got Scrooged!
and yes, now i AM in the Christmas spirit, which is a rare thing.

Kaus I think massively overestimates the amount of disruption that will occur - when the Antifa guy got killed in a drunken argument in Portland, about fifty masked people showed up for his memorial service. The hard-core part of Antifa is rather small.
Besides, Trump's been President for four years - nobody has been thrown into a camp, people don't fear the 3 AM knock on the door, etc. From the standpoint of the average person, Trump's major effect is that the economy's improved.
The idea that a significant part of the American populace will explode in violent rage if Trump gets four more years seems overstated - look how anemic the response to the impeachment hearings has been.
Yeah, I'm going to stay out of downtown Portland on Election Day and the day following, but that doesn't mean that the foundations of the Republic are trembling.

You can take to the bank a secession movement in one-party California.
I believe President Trump would love to be in a foreign trade situation with the nation of California. For example, he could impose killer tariffs on California produce and cut a deal with Mexico for replacements for some or most of it. And the price of Colorado river water and electricity from the US might get awfully high for California.

Then why did Rome torture and kill so many people of the Reformation? I don't get the Blue on Blue attacks.
If it wasn't for the crowd supporting Martin Luther, Rome would have gladly martyred him.
Furthermore, Rome and the Reformation are wildly different in doctrine and light years apart in practice. This isn't the forum for a food-fight on the particulars, its been going on for centuries and both sides are still standing. My point is simply, that in the Venn Diagram of faith, relatively little overlaps in terms of doctrine and practice.
Jesus is God, Virgin birth, Death and Resurrection - and that is about it.
The Pope rejects Christian claims to exclusivity, that is we have not only this Pope, but many Popes who hold the position that Sincerity in whatever faith you have is salvific. In other words, the official position of Rome is that there is such a thing as Christ-less Salvation, or that you don't need a saving faith in Jesus Christ in order to inherit the blessings of Heaven - just be sincere in your faith system.
I'm not sure what the threshold for sufficient sincerity is, but for those atheists whose god is the State, if they are sincere enough in their secular religion, they will be sharing quarters with Christians in God's Heaven.
That view is so estranged from orthodoxy that it would be a mockery to call that Christianity.

Augustine and Thomas Aquinas had it figured out.
Give it a few millennia and it is hardly recognizable.
I can't say that the aftermath of the Reformation was a rousing success, leaving out the Anabaptists who trace their denominational lineage to John the Baptist, the mainline Protestant denominations all have their offshoots that are fully apostate (PC-USA, ELCA, etc.), and the non-denominationals with the snake-handling and Pet-a-Palooza public pet baptisms come to mind as a mockery and embarrassment to the faith.
I don't want people to think that Denominations determine one's Election - they clearly don't. Are there saved Roman Catholics? Yes. Does Roman Catholicism save you? Absolutely not.
Substitute "Roman Catholic" with any denomination and the answers are still the same.

"By their fruits you shall know them."
If a person preaches and believes a faith system that is alien to orthodoxy, can they still be saved?
My guess is no. To say that there is no level of apostasy, heresy or blasphemy to deny faith, is to say that faith is purely post-modern.
My take of the Scripture is that the Bible is a closed book to those who have not been regenerated and enlightened by the Paraclete. (1 Corinthians 2:14) The Paraclete is an equal member of the Trinity.
Now why would God enlighten those He has chosen for salvation with lies and gross distortions?
Because to say that Mother Theresa is in heaven given her rejection of the most fundamental doctrine of Scripture - that Jesus Christ is the only way - is to say that God lies about Himself and rewards those who perpetuate the lies.
And to say that it doesn't matter what you believe, then the Pope must truly be correct and salvation is merely being sincere, and the entirety of Scripture is lies and irrelevant.

And my advice is, by all means, disembark PRE-LAX or Union Station.
There's also Union Station which is still beautiful and interesting, but in an IMHO horrible area of LA (near Boyle Heights).
Fullerton is generally nice. If possible, you might also consider disembarking at the Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs station, which isn't far from Orange County. It's close to both the law firm and the mental hospital where I used to work. :-)

But in this excerpt of his recent interaction, Frankie is spot-on in terms of articulating Rome's position on salvation and on witnessing.
It goes a very long way into understanding Rome's lengthy history of syncretizing Christianity with other religions such where Caribbean Catholicism includes voodoo and shamanism. Central American Catholicism worships Mary and assigns to her many attributes of deity. The list goes on.
Compromise seems to be a regular feature, and it can be explained easily by recognizing that Rome views sincerity far more than doctrinal purity.
The Pope says so in this article, and empiricism clearly confirms it as an integral part of Rome's faith system.
I'm not looking for a holy war, just stating the obvious that orthodoxy and Rome are light years apart on most issues.

OK... the boy knows I have a Jewish phobia about bills being paid on time.
So he decided to practical-joke me by saying that he found an eviction notice on the door days ago, and hid it from me.
It only held up for like two minutes, because once I demanded to see it, he couldn't produce it, and admitted the whole thing was a fabrication.
But, now I have to prank him back. In about two weeks, once he's forgotten about it, I'ma hit him where it hurts.
He loves his electronics. So, when he comes from home from school, the TVs, stereo, video games, assorted valuables, and handheld devices will all be missing, because we've been "robbed."
Sadly, this will also freak out out his angelic, innocent little sister, but I have to do it.

It's ok. Folks who live here usually wear hiking boots or heavy shoes downtown. Plus you need the traction if you hit a turd on the sidewalk under the piles of wet leaves.
You get used to it.

The problem is that sometimes people need to be shown by forcible argument that faith is a viable option. Otherwise "The City of God" is moot.
So for me it's a matter of--don't misread the situation.
But I'm not sure that's what the Pope means.
I would have to hear him comment on Augustine to understand him.

Let me throw out a counter argument.
Culturally big breasts were a thing into the 90s. The women everyone wanted to be with were Pam Anderson and Jenna Jameson. Then culture started to get into androgyny and trannysim and our female stars now tend to have more boyish figures - look at Emma Watson, Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift..
Richer people follow culture changes a lot more closely then poorer people do...

Dude, I had some dedicated JWs in my town. They would come by every week for a couple months, because I could talk about the Old Testament, and they were INTO that, and I was polite to them. Eventually, they figured out that I was a Torah-believing Jew, and never, ever going to convert.
Never came back after that.
Had a similar thing happen with Mormons, but they gave up sooner.

I had a JW come to my door every month or two. I was always nice. I never took him up on his invitations to go to his church, but he kept coming back. We'd chat cordially, he'd give me his pamphlets, I'd thank him and throw them out after he left. He was a decent enough guy.

Conversely. There is a large, semi-mega-church along Interstate 45, about 35 miles North of Galveston. Went to a Christmas Eve service there, 'cause the 90 minute drive to 2nd Baptist West Campus was just toooo much that year.
Walked out halfway through the "service".

I think it's just because people HATE being bothered at home, on their small amount of free-time.
But Democrat operatives in Colorado are much, much worse than any JW. JWs a welcome relief compared to the canvassers.
I had one WALK INTO MY FUCKING HOME a couple years ago. I heard him approach before he knocked and, receiving no response, WALKED INTO MY FUCKING HOME, so I was standing by the pistol, and explained to him that the only reason he was still drawing air was that I'd seen his gay little campaign gear through the peephole, and knew he was a simple idiot, and not a criminal.
I also called and wrote to the campaign, and explained that recruiting braindead potheads with no idea about property rights was unwise.

Very seldom that one must needs edit the tale from an interplanetary gawd, but I'll write it off to data-scrambling due to impending supernovas.
Too, it would be epic to have their reaction to the "Kneel Before Zod!" line recorded on the "Ring" doorbell app.
/2nd break.
Used to get a lot of local black folks from a Missionary Baptist Church making the rounds.
Turns out that this neighborhood of 33 homes, USED to be the site of a run-down tenement slum of collapsing "temporary" apartments, built in the '40s to accommodate Galveston Shipyard workers in the War Effort, then.
New homes here, built in '07 and '08. The place has, shall we say..changed? Just a bit. Just a wee bit.
But those people at my door were treated with all the same respect and courtesy as the JWs and others who knock doors.
Except for the "electricity" sales people. I'll query them as to sine wave or square wave sales offerings, and they look at me like a three eyed catfish.
And I can make it even worse, from there.

Ha! Reminds me of years ago, a window salesman pitched my Dad, told him about the savings on heat the new windows would bring. Dad said, "I won't see any savings." Salesman said, "You'll save so much per month! Guaranteed!!"
Dad said, "I'll accept that number. Your windows cost this much, and my house has ten of them. So my total cost is x. That's 300 times my monthly savings. My break-even point is 25 years out. I'm 70 years old. I won't see any savings."

First year I was selling roofing, I knocked on doors after a local hailstorm or other weather event.
By time I'd been in the business 18 months, I never knocked on a door, again.
Credibility, incredible referrals and a gold-plated track record with a BBB Pinnacle Award company ensured my phone never stopped ringing.
Canvassers work hard, and courtesy is a given.
I don't give them much more than 20 seconds of said courtesy, though.
My responses are polite, explanatory and complete. It is up to them to grasp those three things in that first twenty seconds.
And my phraseology is such, that their training to discover the "false objection" and etc., is completely akilter.
I am inside their OODA loop from the first "Hello."
But I'll still offer 'em a bottle of cold water on a hot summer's day.

I never thought of salesmen as "canvassers," though I suppose they are.
Here, it's always roofing guys, because of our hail. Occasionally, it's window salesmen.
When I think of canvassers, it's political guys, and they are ALWAYS Democrats. Never, ever, have I seen a Republican one. That might explain why this place is Calirado now.

But often, a job of great value and future growth.
First motorcycle insurance I'd ever bought was from an Allstate booth, inside the Sears Department Store at Ingraham Park Mall, San Antonio, TX.
Stayed with that same Agent, through a couple of successive bikes and cars.
By that time, he had his own storefront agency on the North West side of town.
When I bought my first house, it was literally just down the street from his Agency. And he wrote the policy for that one, too.
We can make fun and mockery of outside sales reps and their canvassers. I've been both. So I don't mind making *some* fun of my former profession.
They're not saints, but they're sure as hell not demons.
Think about that the next time you're bothered by their efforts.
Perspective?
They're not on the corner with carboard sign.
And it takes just a bit of guts to press those doorbells, knowing that the odds are against you on an aggregate basis.
But you're not gambling the odds. You're betting on the 2% who defy the odds.

1) McConnell is absolutely right to insist on the 1998 Clinton rules that were agreed to by 100 to 0 which leaves Schumer with a fistful of penis (being generous here. IRS most likely the size on an acorn)
2) The fact that Palsi is dragging her feet proves she herself knows these phony articles are shit and the excuse for the delay are beyond obvious to normal Americans. Not many people understand the inside baseball excuses she is giving and will see this as a failure.
3) Having rushed articles only to then slam on the breaks proves she either has no intention of transmitting the articles to the Senate or is delaying in hope of something or somebody ANYTHING will suddenly "be found" that Mueller, SDNY, the entire Democrat caucus, the Deep State and the media had missed this whole time. Doubtful to say the least
4) Schumer and Pelosi can demand anything they want. Mitch has already instructed them to shit in their hats and I believe he will stand firm on this.
5) Finally, Trump, his legal team and several key members of Congress know the Dems have nothing left but fishing expeditions. As such, claiming executive privilege at this point only forces the dems to beg a judge to compel any witnesses or docs to be heard/revealed....which do nothing to bolster any of the articles anyway as THERE WAS NO CRIME
The current GFY strategy is a winning one. The onus is on the hapless dems and their tank is dry. The more they flounder around and float monumental stupid Ideas like impeaching a second time or "amending" the first two articles only shows the public their true ugliness.
People are worn down with all of this and want it to stop.

Uh - I didn't achieve that. But I could start again this year. Have 4 cars with lighting working [including the locomotive]. The airport searchlight works. I think the switches only need some new wire and basic soldering to work again. Of course there are several cars without electrified features, they work fine, and are actually in excellent condition.
I think they stopped making the old kind of O-gauge track a few years back, and I don't like the new kind [takes more space].
Anyway, hearing the distinctive hum of that locomotive when the juice goes on, and hearing the cars move down the track [amazing how model trains have a signature sound every bit as distinct as real trains], are a amazing instant trip back to good times as a kid.

The country's chances [of real, substantial improvement, restoration of any sort of civic culture or const. order, that kind of thing], on the other hand, still doubtful. The miseducation of several generations, the collapse of standards, the prosperity etiolating a particularly unimpressive collection of generations. Big, big headwind.
The very continued existence of the Dems - or most of the GOP - pretty much reflect the fundamental rot.

Picture 'bout all of that but with me wearing a loud Aloha shirt and sans cowboy hat.
And the fact that my horsemanship is pretty much of the "pack trail' variety. If you know what that is from Colorado hunts, you're in the groove.
Point being though.
I've been in a Hard Core Texan groove since the late '70s. Aloha shirts and all.
Texans are an accepting bunch, and I feel at home here.
That and the fact that I can put bullets into whatever target is offered, seems to meet with their approval.

Vendette, you cut off my "heh" at the bottom of my post. There was a reason I put it there.
(i.e., feel the needle? )
Tell me about protestants. I grew up Episcopalian (back when that meant something), most of my relatives were Southern Baptist. My Mom liked to tell me how my Dad's parents (who were super-strict Methodists, back in the day) would've disowned my brother and me for converting to Catholicism.
Protestant beliefs are as manifold as protestants themselves, and I love them all. Except for the ones who think they are Jack Chick. Them, I just pray (and ask the saints to intercede) for them!

denominational lineage to John the Baptist, the mainline Protestant
denominations all have their offshoots that are fully apostate (PC-USA,

The snake handling is actually directly biblical (Mark 16:1
. The pet baptism not so much. Regardless, the Pope is wrong about evangelism and about exclusivity. Muslims and Jews are not saved by Jesus own words (No man comes unto the Father but by me). Neither are Hindus and Buddhists or any other belief system. The Bible says it is the duty of Christians to live a life that is an example and to tell people of God's love through Jesus Christ.

Reading the above on how cars spy on you, my 2016 SUV with all the electronic stuff and screen and ... had the battery go bad a year into ownership.
You would think that it would be able to give a message on the screen, the dash, an idiot light that it was going bad?
Nope, the car just acts strangely and the electronics go out and the come back on while driving.
Wife couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. Reading the owners manual gave no info.
I went our to start it the next day, battery was dead.

Unfortunately the letter he was sent by a bureaucrat used inartful language and K6UDA (the Buzzfeed of the ham world) made a video on Youtube that was full of misrepresentations, and announced that CA wanted to 'fire' ham operators from emergency service.
What he DIDN'T mention is that ALL of the repeater operators (at least, the ones who don't have, you know ... permission ... to use the sites) can have those fees waived by documenting they have a bona fide relationship with an official emergency communications organization.
