Book Review: The Great Adventure Bible 📚
December 31,2022It took much longer than it should have, but I finally read God’s book. Using the _Bible in a Year_ podcast, I methodically worked my way through the entire Bible. The great thing about the reading plan that I chose is that it focused on a narrative, rather than attempting to read the Bible from cover to cover.
I followed the stories, characters, and threads as they weaved through the books and finally, today, I finished.
Would I recommend: YES

The Trump Tax Return Precedent - WSJ Opinion
Mr. Trump appears to have hired legions of lawyers to exploit every possible loophole in the tax code. If Congress doesn’t like that, it can rewrite and simplify the code. But that would strip the Members of their power to do favors for, well, real-estate investors and other campaign contributors.

Trump Thanks Dems For Releasing Best, Most Beautiful Tax Returns Ever - Babylon Bee
“Nobody takes more withholdings than me! Everyone says so. Big, beautiful withholdings - no one else is smart enough. Lots of losers can’t figure out how to pay less taxes, but I’m really good at it. Maybe the best.”

December 26,2022Silent Night - Catholic Husband
A silent night, a holy night, in a cave in a rural town, an anonymous family witnessed the singular event that changed all of human history. In those ordinary moments, they thought not of the challenges ahead, but of the peace and quiet joy of the night.

The House Pretends to Call in Sick - WSJ Opinion
Members sign a letter, available on the House clerk’s website, that says they are “unable to physically attend proceedings in the House Chamber due to the ongoing public health emergency,” and designate a colleague to cast their vote. But no one even bothers anymore to fake a cough or pretend the absence has anything to do with Covid-19. Mrs. Pelosi told a CNN reporter on Friday that the mass sick day is “related to the weather more than anything else.”
More than half voted by proxy on the omnibus.
