The Morning Rant
It is now a requirement of Obamacare that every Catholic institution larger than a single church — and even including some single churches — must pay for contraceptives, sterilization, and morning-after abortifacients for its employees. Each of these is directly contrary to the Catholic faith. But the Obama administration does not care. They have said, in effect, Do what we tell you — or else.I remember giving a Nelson laugh to the RCC when this first happenened. I said, what did you stupid idiots think was going to happen when gave your approval to the government running the country's health care? Also, they're real soft on illegal immigration and have no problem with inviting in millions of unvetted, undocumented, unassimilable "refugees" from any country in the world who can manage to make it here, in the name of compassion. In other words, like any liberal, they're extremely generous with other people's money. Oh, and I almost forgot the death penalty. Technically, Catholic theology allows it, but the conditions they place on its use are so strict that they might as well be against it in principle. And didn't Pope Francis recently issue a statement saying that the death penalty is immoral under any circumstances? Anyway... I don't know how much of this, or if any of it, influences Ms. Barrett's legal and constitutional thinking. I do know that Neil Gorsuch "surprised friend and foe alike" when he sided with the liberal wing of SCOTUS in a recent decision making sexual orientation a protected class according to federal law. They arrived at this decision by expanding the definition of "sex" as it appears in the relevant civil rights statute. And I thought Gorsuch was supposed to be an originalist. Not this time. He just pissed all over the original definition of the word in order to get where he wanted to go. Gorsuch supposedly attends an Episcopalian church that is very liberal on social issues. I'm worried about what will happen when, say, a case involving some aspect of Trump's immigration policy comes before SCOTUS. Barrett clerked for Antonin Scalia. He was also a Roman Catholic, but he never "grew in office". I hope his influence on her proves to be the stronger. Oh, and one more thing: this latest 'bombshell' story about Trump's taxes is going to be like Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault.

1) The Dems know that trashing ACB will not be good for them, and will refrain, or
2) The Dems know that trashing ACB will not be good for them, but they lack the discipline and morals to refrain.
I think a third scenario is in play. This is really a fight for the Democratic Party and who will lead it after the 2020 defeat. The young lunatics want to burn it all down, and don't much care whether their approach makes any sense. The older hands, e.g. Pelosi and Schumer, know this is stupid, but fear appearing to acquiesce without putting up a desperate fight. They figure, probably correctly, that if they don't fight, the Dem base will conclude that they're useless, and they might as well throw in with the lunatics. Thus, the old hands will accept a temporary seppuku, so as to live and fight another day.
There is no down side here for us.

@alexthechick
So. I finally read the NYT Trump tax story because I wanted to see what line was being reported for taxes owed and I came across this about the $750 in 2016 and 2017. Per the NYT own story, Trump actually paid to the US Treasury $1 million in 2016 and $4.2 million in 2017.

The anomalies part isn't correct, I think. But the "different era" part matters. There are virtually no "young" lawyers or judges who are going to be conservative on social issues at this point. Conservatives lost the culture war. So much so that the burning political issues at this point are how much we will disadvantage actual women to accommodate trannies. Don't look to the judiciary to reverse those results.

It angers us that Barr can't do anything about this - but I thin is is now painfully obvious to everyone that FBI Director Wray is an active and willing part of the Deep State Conspiracy against Trump. He's on tap to be fired or resign on November 4th, but he can still do a lot of damage before then.

1) such a nasty woman
2) you support partial birth abortion, which is a horrible procedure
He said those to her face, for millions of undecided voters who heard it for the first time-- having been only allowed to hear how wonderful and moderate she was.
The best part about that is, the Democrats still don't know how devastating that was ...
While they all claimed she won the debates ...
Say, didn't the democrats just make abortion an election issue...

The RCC, commie pope notwithstanding, is still firmly pro-life, from conception to natural death, so much so that it states an official position against the death penalty.
Abortion loving legislators do get denied communion from time to time, that's a decision of the celebrant at hand.

It's a shame that people get caught up in worldly concerns swirling about the RCC. Staying away from the sacraments on that basis alone kind of ignores the entire purpose of the RCC. It wasn't intended to be an issues advocacy organization.

First time I saw her, she was stunning. It was the Spanish version of the movie they remade with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. Open Your Eyes, which I think is the English translation of the Spanish title, and they changed it for the American version.
Confused?
Well, I think they gave her the unenviable task of being Tom's beard for a while. That was not nice.
And... picture number 3? That looks a lot more recent than the others, and as is not often the case for celebrities, she's still stunningly gorgeous, even now at age whatever.

The Bail Project seems to be an organization where BLM, Antifa and really big funders intersect - Soros, Gates, Branson, @Jack and more. We're talking 10's-100's of millions in funding that at least anecdotally (Louisville uhaul) indicates it's being used to fund the riots. Not bail them out, but funding the activities that get them arrested AND THEN bailing them out. Nice cover.
That's huge.

With that said, there are beacons of light. Franciscan University and other truly conservative Catholic universities get it. They stand up, they show up, and they will fight.
There are priests too who get it. Not as many as we would like, but they are there. I'm fortunate to have a priest like this assigned to a nearby parish.
For those who consider themselves former Catholics, or just gave up, I would offer you this: Come back. The church is a human run institution, but the faith is not. Don't want to financially support a parish, bishop, diocese? That is fine. That isn't what our faith is. It is bigger and more beautiful. Consider coming home, we await your return with joy. And perhaps together us like minded can influence change.

There are tensions between New Testament theology and the successful governance and administration of a nation-state. Love your enemies, judge not lest ye be judged, we rejoice in our sufferings, etc. I'm not knocking NT, but its focus is on the individual's quest for afterlife, not on how you run a world-power state to survive on a globe filled with lethal enemies.
I'm fine with ACB. Picking SC judges is a crapshoot anyway. As long as she's not a crazy leftist and not a penumbra seeker, I got other things to worry about.

I think - seriously - it's because there's now way too much money involved and up for grabs, maybe a billion dollars at this point. They want to make the case that even if Biden and BLM fall apart, they get to hang onto it.
The good thing, from our point of view, is that these people being who they are, that Billion will probably turn into no more than a couple of million actually spent on The Cause.

But she also points out something we have been saying here for a long time now...the point of getting access to Trumps tax returns was not to try and trip him up on something...I think everyone knows he has an army of accountants and the returns are correct.
The real goal was getting the names of people with whom he does business.

Yeah, I had a lot of time to think.
We really started noticing crap polls in 2012. We could tell something was hinky with them, and a lot of us (myself included) tried to see if there was a way to make sense of the mess we were being offered.
As we went into the election, Obama was ahead in the polls by a few points, about the same as Hillary was ahead. But the campaigns didn't think so. I remember the Monday before the election, Obama looked like his dog died, while Romney was bubbling with energy. I am still certain that the campaign internals were showing that Obama was going to lose.
Obviously, he didn't. So why would the internals be wrong?
TJM keeps talking about the 2018 turnout models, and there is something to this, although I'm not sure how that assumptions are being used right now. But in 2012 I think that both campaign polling operations did not factor in the complete screw up of the GOP GOTV operation on election day. I think it is a pretty reasonable assumption that Romney's fuckup that day cost him 2-4 points in vote differential. Enough to lose key states like Florida. Recall that some polling firms stopped polling Florida at all, they were confident Romney would win the state.
So then we get to 2016, and this time the polls were definitely wrong, the fact that we have President Trump is testament to how bad they were. But what swung it for Trump was unexpected turn out for Trump in rural/red areas of swing states. North Florida and Central PA were a source of votes that no one expected, especially the polls which are certainly getting their information by respondents in urban and suburban areas, I suspect.
Even in 2018 the polls weren't all that right. They said the house would go Dem, but they also said that DeSantis and Scott would lose in Florida.
So here we are in 2020. Are the polling firms accounting for rural/red turnout in this election? I doubt it, they haven't changed their methodologies. They aren't giving any consideration for boat parades, car parades, sized of rallies during a pandemic, parades up Rodeo Drive in blue Beverly Hills.
This campaign very likely will be determined by turnout. And the GOP has been on the ground doing voter contact for months now, while the Dems have been hiding in their houses.
We will see if it works, but I firmly believe that the only way Biden can win is if Trump voters don't show up at the polls. He has given no reason for GOP or Ind voters to switch to him from Trump.

In all seriousness, my top choice for a Supreme Court Justice is Don Willett, a conservative baptist, ex Texas Supreme Court Justice, current sitting justice on the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. (nominated by Trump in 2017)
I don't know how much of a southern accent he has, he was raised in a small one stop light town not far from Dallas. Not an ivy-leaguer, he's a brilliant jurist and used to write very funny tweets. (He got off twitter when he recieved his Federal Appointment)
And yes, the biggest knock on him is that people in both parties in New England, New York, and the left coast would go crazy if he was appointed. Think they're mad about a Roman Catholic? Just watch how nuts they would go after a conservative baptist.

This may be an anomaly, but we no longer invite Catholic Charities from Fort Worth. There were alot of complaints about their mission and goals going against church teaching. They are truly CINO, catholic in name only. Last time they came they sent an espiscopalian to talk to us about how they help find living wage employment for refugees. Their definition of a living wage was 50K and over per year. I think that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and there were a lot of complaints about that. Heck the teachers at our church school only make 60K.

Those of us that are Catholic know that the Church has been infiltrated by the leftist marxists to a wide degree and in positions of power just like most influential organizations.

The former vice president and 2020 presidential contender and his wife Jill Biden reported about $10 million in income in 2017 from a pair of S-corporations, CelticCapri and Giacoppa. The two entities were paid for the couple's book deals and speaking gigs.
The S-corps reported another $3.2 million in income in 2018.
While both S-corps generated a lot of income, they paid out modest salaries in comparison.
In 2017, the two companies paid the couple a combined $245,833 in wages. This increased to $500,000 in 2018.
That mean any amounts the Bidens received as a distribution wasn't subject to the 15.3% combined Social Security and Medicare tax.

But if the President has decided not to fire Wray for the next 5 weeks for political reasons, there's not much that Barr can actually do about it.

Well, that's because elections were almost entirely decided by how much the local parties in each state organized. It also helped that some states didn't even do popular votes. Also that travel was damn near impossible to do quickly.
So, local organization was still the most important thing, and presidential candidate showing up to localities helps those local organizations tremendously. You may get a few dozen people out to meet your local congressman for a town hall, but you can get hundreds or even thousands for the president.
Biden's simply giving up that tool in favor of texting.

Overturning Chevron is the closest thing, I think, to a silver bullet for the administrative state.
The administrative state is one of the main central hubs of progressive power in America, and if they suddenly can't make up their own rules anymore unmoored from legislation, a single opinion repealing decades of regulation and tens of thousands of pages in the federal rule book, then yes, the Left will have experienced a body blow it won't be able to come back from for a very long time.

It's a mistake to automatically think Joe is going to blunder his way through tomorrow night. He'll quite likely sound fine. It will be a relatively short amount of time, and he's being conditioned (and medicated) to make it through that time of day. I don't expect him to be a jibberish, incoherent mess. Trump needs to make him defend his 40-year sh*tty record, and his family's obvious corruption.

An honest foreign policy with respect to Central America - one which our culture is no longer capable of - would recognize that the most Moral and Enlightened thing we could do was to mount an Expeditionary Force, take two weeks and knock over their shithole governments, and then executing all the former Regime Goons plus the Narco's and their allies. THEN decent, responsible non-criminal governments could be set up that would make those decent places to live. THAT is what would be best for the people there, and would also be a pretty good outcome for us, too.

The AG doesn't have as much actual power as we like to think he has. He cannot order Wray to take certain actions; he can advise that the President fire Wray if Wray won't do what he's told. But if the President has decided not to fire Wray for the next 5 weeks for political reasons, there's not much that Barr can actually do about it.
We're at a point where we're not going to get much good out of either the DOJ or the FBI until everyone who was hired before 2016 is run out of the organization. They are all corrupt.

American Catholicism has shown some resistance to this pope ... hopefully Amy is willing to separate her legal decisions completely from the dictates of commie Francis, while retaining her "Biblical heritage" judgement.

Court Justice is Don Willett, a conservative baptist, ex Texas Supreme
Court Justice, current sitting justice on the 5th Circuit Court of
Appeals. (nominated by Trump in 2017)
I don't know how much of a southern accent he has, he was raised in a
small one stop light town not far from Dallas. Not an ivy-leaguer,
he's a brilliant jurist and used to write very funny tweets. (He got
off twitter when he recieved his Federal Appointment)
And yes, the biggest knock on him is that people in both parties in
New England, New York, and the left coast would go crazy if he was
appointed. Think they're mad about a Roman Catholic? Just watch how

Pope Franky is a problem. Franky and his likeminded cardinals/bishops/religious are THE problem. Hopefully he's an anomaly which will be rectified in the not too distant future. I can see another schism if not.From my observations, the RCC has always been a blue collar religion anyways. This would explain the large number of democrats in the church. For some, they realize the Democrat party of old is not what exists today. Others went willingly to the hard left with them. Then there are those of us who are conservative, pro-life, etc. While this can explain the reluctance of the clergy to tow a hard line on issues, it is still inexcusable.

I find it amusing to look back on her statement last year, "I'm going to be on the Court for 5 more years!"
It reminded me of the actor, stuck up the tree in "The 7th Seal" when Death is chopping down the tree he's in. "But I've got engagements booked!!!" Death looks up and just says "Canceled... on account of Death." "Aren't there exceptions???" " Not for You."

Oh, I know it is the case. I even looked into it after the election because I was so stunned by the results.
I could buy Obama winning, but winning Florida was just unbelievable to me.
The fraud in Florida came from two counties, St. Lucia and Miami-Dade. In Miami-Dade their vote total was lower than in 2008 and 50K GOP votes disappeared from the 2008 results.
After that year, Florida severely tightened up voting procedures, and they are even tighter this year. Palm Beach County has already been put on notice that they will have state auditors watching them on election day after their mess in 2018.

Agree he's smarter than that. He'll mention it at the beginning, and then people can watch the real-time effects of the drugs. Joe will be all chatty, blinking faster than a hummingbird's heart and then start his inevitable crash 40 minutes in.
I wonder if they're going to take an intermission break halfway through? I've been guessing Joe's in hiding mostly so he can be dosed to the max for Tuesday.
Of course, EMT's rushing in and hauling Joe off on a stretcher after the 10 minutes of defibrillation fun would be a nice way to wrap the first debate.

In the history of Catholicism, a Pope has only spoken ex cathedra twice. Both times it had to do with Mary, the Mother of God.
This is not a worry you should have.

"Our revolution is by the ruling class -- a revolution from above. Crushing
obstacles to its growing oligarchic rule is the proximate purpose."
"Control F" brings up 75 uses of "ruling class" in the article. BigMoney is indeed engineering the warfare at every level, covertly via various "cutouts" like BLM or corporate heads. Soros is the most obvious, but only one head of the hydra.

The pastor of my church that I grew up in, that my family attended
regularly and gave a lot of money to, refused to baptise my child
because my husband was in the military.+++
Unconscionable! I cannot believe this man can even think of himself as a priest. I'm guessing he was ordained in the late 1960s or 70s. So sorry for your experience, it truly grieves me.

There is a problem here of conflating 3 things:
1. The asinine statements of the current Pope. Note that he has not defined anything ex cathedra, IMO because he is not mentally equipped to do so. He's actually vague on specifics, and never answers the dubia asking for clarifications.
2. The USCCB, which is, as it has long been, a collection of assholes. But that is not determinative in Catholicism.
3. The actual teaching of the Church, which is a very different matter. It cannot sway to and fro, but is fixed (Vat I was explicit on this, as has every other council, including Vat II.)
All we have is another era when the Church is in an unhealthy condition. Been there, done that. And the Church, unlike the Anglicanism I left for it, does not have a Brezhnev doctrine, where what the heretics gain, they keep. Unlike almost all the other major denominations I know of, the fight is ongoing.
Specifically, on immigration, the Church does plead for charity and openness, but NOT to the extent of ripping apart the host country. On the DP, it's worth remembering what kind of country the last 3 Popes were raised in. JPII and BXVI were extremely intelligent men, and made it clear that their own opposition was NOT binding on the faithful. Francis (or Liberius II, as I think he should be called) isn't like that. But again, he never quite nails it down, I think for Bidenesque reasons.

The administrative state is one of the main central hubs of
progressive power in America, and if they suddenly can't make up their
own rules anymore unmoored from legislation, a single opinion repealing
decades of regulation and tens of thousands of pages in the federal rule
book, then yes, the Left will have experienced a body blow it won't be
able to come back from for a very long time.
IMO, big bold steps such as that one are what's needed to combat the decades of incremental progressivism that the Left has accomplished (against the Constitution and the will of the people). PDT's recent EO banning CRT is a perfect example of this.
It's why we have elections. To put people in power to protect us from the ravages of progressivism (really, anti-Americanism), which are legion today.

I think he wants to deal with this behind the curtain, issue a stern rebuke, and let it be and not drag it out to the public so we lose respect for the FBI.
Problem is, we already see it cause the curtain has already been pulled back, and his attempts to protect the institution not only ruins any chance of many of us having any respect for it in the future, it also lowers the belief in the system as a whole. And when that happens...
Barr may not be a swamp creature but he respects the area the swamp creatures took over and misses that clearing them out will actually be the only way to save the area. Because without a clearing, the only solution left is burning the whole thing to the ground.

Further supports my point. Tester was the incumbent in that race, as Peters is in Michigan. If the Montana race is evidence of anything at all, it's further evidence of GOP strength not yet reflected in the polling. That makes the Biden-PDJT numbers even harder to take at face value.

I've been saying this for a while, having seen the effects of sundowning and dementia on my mother and the others in her facility.
Somebody here mentioned they might have Joe locked away so they can try to readjust his internal clock, which is possible - I don't know how that would/could work. There just seems to be something magical about the sun going down - these people have no clue what time of day it is to begin with.
I could see Joe, during his crash, start to fumble for words and not be able to answer Trump, who isn't going to let up once he senses Joe's collapse. Joe, not being able to answer anything could very well lose it. In normal debates, I could see him taking a swing at Trump, but I bet this is going to be some weird 20' apart on each side of the stage thing.

OK, thanks. My blurry thinking was it was either outdated or overruled ... but there is a path for the Pope (with advice and consent?) to establish doctrinal interpretations of scripture ... right? My impression is the same group that managed to install Francis while there was still a cogent pope ... is perhaps a more politicized/marginalized group ... performing a sort of Coup.
There is no doubt the old Soviets and modern commies (and others) have attempted to secure influence in the Catholic church ... and they seem to have a victory with Francis.

I absolutely agree. And I think conservative Catholics agree on this as well. The Pope's official teaching on faith and morals is considered infallible (no matter who the Pope is). This one has done nothing official to change that. His opinions on things, however, are completely separate and are just that, opinions. Catholics are under no obligation to agree with him and many don't.

She's probably, i'm guessing a bit more liberal on criminal law type issues, because she doesn't have a prosecutors background. The criminal law, in theory tends to lead to more liberal results that criminal law in practical reality. She's billed as an originalist which is probably more scalia esque than you ever see out of Roberts or even Gorsuch.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. She's as good as your going to get and a lot better than you'd have gotten if Hillary had won.
