White House Aide Sues Politico for Defamation, Citing Story Written by "Fusion Nat" Bertrand
A White House official on Monday sued Politico and one of its reporters over stories and tweets that he says falsely accuse him of “lying, deceit and unethical conduct.” Kash Patel, the National Security Council's senior counterterrorism director, is seeking more than $25 million in damages in the suit filed in Virginia.... The lawsuit also names Natasha Bertrand, a Politico reporter and MSNBC contributor, as well as Politico owner Robert Allbritton. ... While Politico is the nominal target of the suit, it represents an aggressive attempt by a presidential aide to put Adam Schiff's handling of the impeachment inquiry itself on trial. Describing the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee as "a demagogue with an axe to grind against the president," Patel portrays Schiff as running roughshod over rules and interviewing witnesses "to create click-bait headlines and soundbites to feed to his co-conspirators and media sympathizers."It's time to open up the libel laws, as a prescient man once said.

Yup, and hopefully it gets lots of attention. But those who say it will go nowhere are correct, as with any of the other lawsuits against mainstream media organizations.
They're the secular priesthood, and as with medieval Europe, the Courts won't touch them, instead letting the Church administer its own justice, as they recently did with the not-a-leaker.

(3) don't mind the mind-numbing traffic - and pack something good to listen to
You might propose a different day then Monday's though as that's a heavy traffic day - are Friday's an option since a lesser number of folks are driving in that day?

I don't think they even know what they're trying to say anymore. The president is allowed to pressure foreigners, biden is not above the law, and reducing corruption is a clear exercise of his power and not some idiotic idea of purely personal political gain.

It's about David French, and how he is oddly more consistent than other Never Trumpers. Like, say, Nichols and Kristol, he is one who regards Trump's actions was wrong per se, no matter how well they fit with what he himself had supported. My realization comes from his move to early Calvinism, which he had declared several years before Trump.
Now, in the 16th and 17th C, the more extreme Calvinists took the doctrine of the Fall further than others. They held (and this is arguably essential to Calvinism) that the actions of the Reprobates are, all of them, wholly sinful. Only the deeds of the Elect can be called good. Thus, say, Mother Teresa (obviously unregenerate) did things which were just as sinful as the deeds of Jeffrey Epstein. There is no difference.
Apply this to politics, and Trump, and the way it works is clear. I really should have seen this 3 years ago.

- protect Biden(s) - he is only staying in as a shield, narcissism and money
- distraction from everything while wearing people down into brainwashing
- and the Democrat party NOT getting anything done
Every single time they shout "Trump should testify" is when he responds with one great thing he has accomplished, and why won't the Democrats sign the bill for thousands of jobs for American. Every single time. Use it to prove how the Democrats are hiding and defying Americans - keeping them from jobs and national security every single day while wasting $billions of their tax dollars, hard earned tax dollars.

"I know that God's been calling me for a long time and the devil's been distracting me for a long time. Jesus has won the victory. I told you about my arrogance and cockiness already. Now the greatest artist that God has ever created is now working for him," West declared.

Goofball - take their offer, and seek other employment like your life depends on it at the same time.
Jobs are like women - if you got one, two more are looking. If you got none, you'll have to go ugly early.
If you find a job you want in four weeks, you walk out on these peeps anyway. This is not hard.

Completely OT, but I need some work advice (real advice, not "slap a hot iron to it). Friday is supposed to be my lat day at my job. They're relocating to North Jersey, a good 2+ hour commute, which is just not doable for me. But they made an offer to me to work from home 4 days a week and come up to the new office just on Mondays until February. But if I take it, I would have to not look for other work until that's done. Should I take the offer? And they need to know today.

What CFA is likely to find is that they've made a huge mistake.
I don't know, but I bet a good bit of their recent popularity was based on people who appreciated their standard for traditional ways of life, and many of those people will not be nearly as motivated to shop there, now.

Education, hunger, and homelessness.
Now the left has nothing to bitch about.
Posted by: rickb223 at November 18, 2019 02:13 PM (pGfNT)
That's silly. They have nothing to do with education, and they've been addressing hunger six days a week now.
And "homelessness" is bullshit. The vagrants aren't living rough because they don't have a home; they're doing so because they're drug addicts and/or mentally ill. Conflating that with lack of a home is rubbish.

targeted. They will continue to be targeted until they no longer exist.
And this whole discussion is stupid because believing any MSM piece on
CFA is frought with peril. Wait until more facts come out.
Good advice.
IIRC, the Chik-fil-A founders donated *personal* money to a charity that promotes marriage, as in: let's save this institution from divorce, etc. Not specifically anti-gay, just traditional marriage focused.
That this has been twisted into something else entirely is ugly, and a demonstration of the worst elements of Lefty activism: they want their 2 minutes of hate in order to unify their troops, and they're happy to make sh#t up and keep it going for years and years simply because f#ck you, pay me.

Yes, I know something about traditional Christian doctrines.
I was just replying about a comment above-not from you that- Osteen never ,mentions God or Jesus in his sermons which I would find rather odd given the fact that the website-and yes it's Osteen's church sounds Evangelical.
And I'm not a big fan of Joel who sounds like a name it and claim it preacher, but if he helps leads people to a deeper relationship with Jesus that is not necessarily a bad thing.

As much as I despise the prosperity gospel, there are at least verses that kinda sorta sound like what they are preaching if you rip them from context and sorta sex them up.
Like I said, I'm not an expert on Joel. I just know that at one point he denied a literal hell i.e. there is no eternal damnation, in which case Jesus suffered and died so some early adopters can enter heaven on opening day.
I have also heard that he has actually fixed some of his more egregious heretical positions.

The freedom never intended to elevate a group of people owning one, or writing stuff for those who did, to extra status.
The whole idea was to let you post your bills in public without getting raided. You could still get shunned, denied service, fought with, and all the rest. But not raided by the authorities.

Kim dresses...so the family fighting might be coming from within his own
house too, lol. Considering Kim released a perfume bottle within the
last year or two that was her 3D scanned body, complete with boobs and
butt, there might be a LOT of fighting.
Though I know she supports his religious journey and joins in his bible study groups.

That's encouraging.
I hope Kanye sticks with it. He may not. He's new at this, and should not be considered the spokesman for Christianity, though the MSM will do this and then smear him if/when he missteps, finds a new obsession, whatever. I like that for now, he is inspiring some people to reconsider Christianity, and that they can pursue this regardless of where Kanye ends up.
He is open about his mental health struggles, and, well, Kim and the rest of her family are like aliens to me with what behavior they think is appropriate (but you have to give 'em credit for knowing how to generate business). Whatever.

you just described 9 out of 10 of the pastors at mainstream congregations in the US.
I remember one church I visited long ago, heard a sermon by a man who went on to become a senior Methodist Bishop. He was supposedly a very nice man, but members of his church described his sermons as "long strings of completely unconnected anecdotes". He would stand up and ramble for about 15 minutes, and then sit down. That's all you ever got from him.

Lots of the comments on the Youtube posts of his songs say things like: "I haven't stepped into a church for years. Because of the new Kanye album I went last Sunday." Modern media is all about pulling people away from faith. Whatever his actual motivations, if Kanye's music can bring a younger generation back to the faith their parents abandoned, bless.

Small steps. He's slightly better than nothing. I've listened to him a few times to see what's up, back when he came on after Fox News Sunday when that was remotely tolerable. He didn't actually say anything wrong, he just didn't say anything with any real value. Sorta like watching Hallmark Christmas movies to learn about the Incarnation. Harmless and clean but devoid of content.

They seem to be separating out Father as sole Creator, which is not a correct view of the Trinity. They could be modalists and write a statement like that.

He says a lot more than that. Also this is a bit complicated, because we do have the book of Proverbs, which portrays wisdom as the path to prosperity.
On the other hand, "Blessed are the poor," and "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to get into heaven."

You want to show me that religion is some kind of global force for good ?
Then shut down Joel Olstein. He's a fucking huckster. A carnival barker. I wouldn't let him in my house.
That he incorporated religion in his particular con, and who are inclined to let him run it, tells me things.
I'm a lapsed Catholic. OTOH, I can not control anyone but myself, I have no authority to shut down Joel Osteen (don't know much about him) or The Red Pope (who I hate). I don't know of any secular authorities I'd trust with that particular authority.
And Mr. Libertarian, the idea doesn't strike me as very... Libertarian.

Fair enough.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at November 18, 2019 02:56 PM (AzW6q)
Agreed. Sorry to those who like or support him. But again. As a deeply flawed Christian he makes me cringe. I was not always a Christian nor considered myself one. Hadn't been to church since I walked away from the Catholic church at age 18. Guys like Olsteen were what I thought all Christians were about and was an easy example of why I thought they were all flaming hypocrites. I think hucksters like him do more harm than good.

Interesting.
Here ya go from last Sunday's sermon:
It's easy to go through life letting people and circumstances put names on us, such as average, unqualified, addicted, or poor. Sometimes our own thoughts have named us as unattractive, not talented, not good enough, unworthy. As long as you're wearing these names, believing the lies that people and circumstances have told you, it's going to keep you from your potential. You have to change your name in your mind. Who do you believe you are? How do you see yourself? When God breathed life into you, He named you blessed, prosperous, talented, victorious, one of a kind, a masterpiece. People will call you ordinary, average, nothing special. If you accept that name, you'll become exactly that.
A man was walking past a tattoo shop in Thailand when he noticed that one of the tattoos they offered was "Born to Lose." He asked the owner if anyone ever got that tattoo. The owner nodded and said in broken English, "Before tattooed on body, tattooed on mind." If you accept in your mind the negative names people call you, if you let circumstances name you, you're giving it the right to come to pass. In your mind, is your name born to lose or born to win? Is your name poor, broke, in debt, or is your name prosperous, blessed, more than enough? Is your name sick, tired, can't get well. or is your name healthy, whole, energetic? Have you let life name you addicted, limited, always struggling, or do you go by what God named you - free, victorious, overcomer, well able?
You can't stop people from saying negative things about you. But I've learned you are not who people call you; you are what you answer to. They may call you slow, average, washed up, clumsy. That's okay. Just don't answer to it. Recognize what's happening. They're trying to rename you. When you hear them say you're forgiven, redeemed, and restored, that's when you need to listen. When they say you're unqualified, inexperienced, and less than, say, "Excuse me, did you mean anointed, highly favored, and well able? That's who I am." When thoughts tell you that you're unattractive, or you don't have a good personality, or that nobody wants to be around you, don't give that the time of day. When you hear that you're sharp, fun, well off, and a masterpiece, answer, "Yes, that's my name."
Are you answering to something that you're not? Quit letting those negative thoughts play in your mind. That's not who you are. Keep calling yourself what God calls you. If you do this, strongholds that have held you back will be broken. You're about to step into who you were created to be.
The sermon further followed up with name changes and what they meant from the Bible - Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, Benoni to Benjamin.

Pelicans apparently will use their beaks to cut open their own chests to release blood for their young to drink if there's a severe drought or whatever...
don't know how true that is, but it's the basis of a lot of symbology/iconography.
-----------------
That's a good guess if true. I was wondering if it came from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The pelican that saved them from the ice was killed with a crossbow by the captain.

I grew up Catholic. Left the church as soon as I was 18, it was not for me so no offense to Catholics here. Years later I heard Billy Graham speak and it was one of the catalysts that changed my life. Every priest, pastor etc. is human so none of us will ever agree with every act or word they say. That's OK. But. He walked the walk. Guys like Olsteen are stumbling blocks in my opinion. To each their own so I will leave it there.

Again, strawmen are easy to defeat.
The Pharisees were in conflict with Jesus because they were wrapped around the axle on the rules.
If you think that is what Osteen is about, then you don't know anything about him at all.
We have a world full of really bad people and people want to burn Osteen at the stake.
The irony of that.

Come on. I read the entire thing.
Blacks are promised the same thing in jail by Islamists. Adopt this - and good things will happen.
That's horse shit. Adopt this - and you might make a snack for a lion. All depends on the opinion of the higher ups.
At least those promising a road of Hell on Earth in return for an Eternity of Heaven have an ethos.
