The guy (gal?) asked a hostile question and got a hostile answer.
My question: Why should a public figure turn the other cheek when it’s a fight he is in? Answer: He shouldn’t.
Sic transit nice guy with sign on back saying “kick me.” Looking pained, you know. No, no, no.
Will the 13th Triple Crown go down in history as a tarnished trophy? It’s hard not to wonder in light of the performance by Justify’s stablemate, Restoring Hope. The question is being nursed by one of the owners of Vino Rosso, Mike Repole, who marked the way Restoring Hope was rushed to the head of the pack and then cut in to pin Bravazo on the rail and block him through much of the race.
The controversy surfaced in a scoop by the New York Post. No one seems to be disputing that Justify is a historic steed. Yet many, including us, had a weather eye out for Bravazo, who, in the Preakness, was accelerating on Justify at the end and would have nosed him had he had a few more yards. In the Belmont, he was right up with Justify almost from the moment they burst from the gate.

If it’s not one thing, it’s the other.
You know how Communion in the hand was accomplished. You know how the use of “altar girls” was achieved.
Libs intentionally violate the law until the law is changed. That’s what happened. Moreover, even the restraints and caveats in the modified laws were ignored.
Libs do whatever the hell they want, while – channeling their inner Alinsky – point their fingers at the slightest deviation of law by more conservative Catholics.
Meanwhile, heap coals on their head, as Paul recommended.

Robert De Niro had a few choice words for President Donald Trump while the legendary actor was on stage at Sunday’s Tony Awards to introduce Bruce Springsteen’s musical performance.
“I’m going to say one thing, F— Trump,” De Niro said while pumping his fists in the air. “It’s no longer down with Trump. It’s f— Trump.”
The political sentiment earned De Niro a standing ovation from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall, while CBS scrambled to bleep the audio on the live telecast.

It often happens, at least to me, that when Pope Francis starts swinging pejorative labels around like so many clubs, it’s hard to know just whom he means to lather.
That said, when Pope Francis uttered the epithet about Self-Absorbed Promethean Neo-Pelagians, I knew right away that that meant catholic libs.
Some years later, he is talking again about “Pelagians” and about new “Gnostics”, though not in the ancient and technical sense of the terms.
At The Catholic Thing, Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap. – bane of libs – has set his pen to electronic page to [in]scribe a comment about whom the Pope is really labeling.
Actually, he finds that Fr. Weinandy has solved it, namely whom Francis is talking about when he swings his pejorative labels.
Be careful with this. It has some nicely argued explanations. Read carefully. (Beware also Fr. Z’s witticisms. Dangerous man.)
