When my kids were little, our homeschool group met for a few hours on Fridays for some enrichment classes. Before the noon classes we would all gather in one room to pray the Angelus. It was really nice to see all the little kids and moms holding babies all praying together. Those were fun days.

State Rep. Jim Lower (LOW'-ur) announced Monday he's running for the western Michigan seat. The announcement came two days after Amash sent a series of tweets faulting Trump and Attorney General William Barr over special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
The 30-year-old Lower, of Greenville, says he made the announcement earlier than planned after Amash attacked Trump.

Serious question - aren't most funeral receptions kind of spur-of-the-moment? Around here it's usually less than a week between the death and the funeral, unless there are extenuating circumstances. My MIL died on a Thursday night, the wake was Sunday evening and the funeral was Monday morning.
Or are these more of the memorial service type that you have to plan?

The transactions, some of which involved Mr. Trump's now-defunct foundation, set off alerts in a computer system designed to detect illicit activity, according to five current and former bank employees. Compliance staff members who then reviewed the transactions prepared so-called suspicious activity reports that they believed should be sent to a unit of the Treasury Department that polices financial crimes.
But executives at Deutsche Bank, which has lent billions of dollars to the Trump and Kushner companies, rejected their employees' advice. The reports were never filed with the government.

A Hidden Life is about the Austrian conscientious objector during World War II, Franz Jagerstatter. He refused to fight for Nazis, essentially. Critics keep falling over themselves into saying that it's just like evangelicals supporting Trump, and the real conscientious objectors like Franz are those who don't support him.
Of course, the film was made throughout 2016. And, his last few movies were a rejection of modern worldviews (especially Song to Song, which felt like a direct refutation of the sexual revolution), and he's never made a topical film before. But yeah, it's all about Trump.

"The Thin Red Line" is such an example. Too many people see Nolte's character as a ruthless striver in the Scientology church, struggling bitterly for the approval of his John Travolta commander/auditor. Captain Staros is a pre-clear suppressive who can't master himself enough to move up the Bridge to Freedom towards Operating Thetan.

Yeah, they should just be selling their endorsement for the major offices. Even running a presidential candidate is the height of folly, unless, I guess, your intent is to empower the statists, which is not beyond my imagining.

Instead of running in 2016 like the true bannermen of the Constitution, they ran as Democrats, but more stoned.
The former had more appeal to Republicans who were turned off by Trump's unpredictability.

Going in to 2016, I thought it was the libertarians best chance at making some huge gains, maybe even winning the WH. But they decided to shoot themselves in the foot and be complete fucktards.

===========
It shouldn't have been about actually winning the White House, but about getting 5% of the "popular vote" which then turns on federal funding of the campaign for the next cycle.
They should have reached out to Republicans, pointing out Trump's uncertain political history as an indicator that he wasn't going to govern conservatively, and then been the alternative. Instead, they got overridden by "Republicans are icky", which has been 50% of their party platform for decades.
Idiots.

I disagree with most of you about Romney, and think he has a whole lot in common with SCoaMF; namely, that neither of them ever wanted to actually work for anything, they want to be anointed and handed power and wealth on a gilded platter. (both grew up very entitled)
Romney may not like Trump, and he may launch a few verbal barbs here and there, but he'll never actually do shit about it. That would be too much work, and Romney doesn't do that.

I disagree strongly with what I call Libertarian Internationalism. Our focus needs to be on delivering the goods for US Citizens first. The rest of the world largely doesn't share our values, or our ideas about liberty, and importing droves of third world peasants does little or nothing to improve the third world, while packing the US with people who will vote for third world ideas as soon as they are given the chance.
In opening the border to people without a taste for liberty, you doom liberty.

The funny thing about that link about Amash, is that the dude linking the property purchases doesn't realize that 'assessed value' in Michigan is approximately 50% of market value. So, the properties are not 'underwater' as he claims.
Still, I didn't know his family had such tight connections to China.

America could absorb any amount of immigrants, if they were people who were moving here because they loved liberty (or the idea of it), and wanted to alloy their current identity with American culture, to assimilate as all of our forefathers did.

Nah, I don't think Biden would pick Buttigieg.
Intersectional nonsense is stupid, but institutional Democrats really do believe it, especially if the top of the ticket is a white dude. I doubt it'll be anyone currently running for president, but it will at least be a woman, if not a woman of color.

Zelenskiy, who won 73% of the vote last month in his landslide victory, slammed parliament as a hotbed of self-enrichment, and promised to stop the war in the east against Russian-backed separatists.
After he was sworn in but before he moved to dissolve parliament, Zelenskiy asked the Supreme Rada to adopt a bill against illegal enrichment and support his motions to fire the countrys defense minister, the head of the Ukrainian Security Service and the Prosecutor General.
Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak promptly published his letter of resignation on Facebook.

We've been shipping ore containing rare earth minerals from California to China for processing and sorting. Keep in mind the U.S. is the biggest consumer of rare earth minerals. China now dominates that field and has the only plant in the world.
The tariffs will increase the cost of shipping to China and the foreseeable future creates trade uncertainty.
So now a U.S. and Australian Company joint venture will be building a plant in Hondo, Texas creating U.S. jobs and decreasing costs all the way across the supply chain.
This is what winning for our country looks like. Bonus, nobody's son got a $3 million dollar bribe or billion dollar contract!

If the media were a bit more coordinated and long term thinking, I believe that they could pull this off. Back someone like Gabbard. But, they want their intersectional progressive win more than anything else.

It was Hunger Game of Thrones. Ended just like Mockingjay, except Katniss was not punished for killing her mad queen. (Though Jon is not rally punished, gets to go back up north with free folk and a pup that love him.)
The fans that thought they would get a Disney ending for Dany and are petitioning a rewritten season are temper tantrum-ing in vain. GRRM was never gonna write that for you, sweeties. It is known. And I think he will still die before it is finished.
The ending has some lame parts, but it fits with what we saw all the way back in season 1. Terribly rushed writing, but the character arcs do make sense.

He's a Targaryan. He had ridden one of the dragons (I assume the other), so there's some level of a personal connection. Also, dragons are talked about like they have high intelligence, so even the dragon may have seen that killing Dany was the right thing to do.

Considering how much being dominated is fetish material for women in romance novels and other erotic literature, this probably has implications. It would also explain their fondness for importing Muslims.

It felt more in character for Jon to refuse to do it and then offer himself up to Arya. She takes his face and kills Dany.
But Jon had his arc. He was lawful neutral (I think), like his erstwhile papa Ned. In the end, he made the decision that Ned would never have done, which was stab Dany in the heart.
I think it worked quite well.

They guy who commissioned the painting never came to pick it up. The painter added a steeple and changed the name from "Praying for the crop" to "Angelus." Prayer for the departed. You're sort of expected to hear the bells of the distant church.
The painting is known for driving the prices of Barbizon paintings in the 1800's.
