    Not on the schedule,

    But things just worked out. Got lunch,

  • New Trump Social Media Site To Include Verification Badges For People Who Aren’t Losers And Total Disasters - The Babylon Bee

  • Air Force One Now Equipped With Handicap Parking Pass - The Babylon Bee

    The President slipped because he was hit with a hurricane-force wind burst caused by global warming. There was also some, uh, fried chicken grease left over from the Trump administration that made the steps extra slippery.

  • Russia Confirms They Participated In 2020 Election After Constantly Hearing It Most Important Election Of Lifetime - The Onion

    We were a little skeptical at first, because we remember getting involved in the 2016 election after people were calling that one the most important elections of our lifetimes, and it seems pretty weird that this could be true two elections in a row. But once we heard over and over and over again that this election would be a referendum on the soul of America, and that no one had a right to just sit at home and do nothing, we decided we ought to get involved. If we had to be honest, it was probably the 15,000th email from Nancy Pelosi that finally convinced us.

  • Christian Dutifully Prays For Her Enemies, But If God Wants To Smite Them, That’s Okay Too - The Babylon Bee

    That means when people are unfair to me or say mean things to me online, I need to act with love and grace. Still, if God wants to start smiting those people with, like, thunder or maybe meteors… that’s up to Him. He’s His own boss.

    Solid theology. See a heavy influence from Aquinas.

  • China’s Warning to Biden - WSJ

    Mr. Yang added: “So we believe that it is important for the United States to change its own image and to stop advancing its own democracy in the rest of the world. Many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States.” As we’ve noted, the Chinese like to echo the woke U.S. media critique of America.

    Glad to see WSJ cited the quote to Yang. Otherwise, I might have misattributed it to Brian Stelter or Don Lemon.

    The Family Home - Catholic Husband

    Our connection to the saints, is something exceptional within the theology of Catholicism. These holy men and women were people, just like us. They lived mostly ordinary lives except for their extraordinary virtue. If St. Joseph could attain holiness in the simple act of patching a hole in his home’s wall or addressing a leak from the roof, so can I.
