Trump Says He Plans to Deliver State of the Union Address Next Week in House Chamber

Can’t keep a good man down.

Hope you can make it, he tells Nancy P.

“I look forward to seeing you on the evening [of] January 29th in the Chamber of the House of Representatives,” Mr. Trump wrote in letter to Mrs. Pelosi. “It would be so very sad for our Country if the State of the Union were not delivered on time, on schedule, and very importantly, on location!”

Vatican in 2003 about Communion in hand . . .

Dominus Vobiscum: Notes from a massgoer's underground

. . . where permitted but some prefer on tongue, then what?

Of course, says Congreg. of Divine Worship in February.

Moreover,

. . . let all remember that the time-honored tradition is to receive the host on the tongue. The celebrant priest, if there is a present danger of sacrilege, should not give the faithful communion in the hand, and he should make them aware of the reason for way of proceeding. [Emphasis added]

Note the concern. Note also that this is the Vatican before Francis.

Nathan Phillips did not serve in Viet Nam, we know that, but did we know he made that claim?

At an annual Native American memorial ceremony at Arlington Cemetery in 2008:

In tears, Phillips explained that he had literally dropped off his wife at the emergency room days before the ceremony. He had expressed to her that he wanted to stay with her, be she told him to go and conduct the ceremony.

Which he had convened for 15 years and where he was highly respected.

Phillips also described coming back to the U.S. as a veteran of the Vietnam era. “People called me a baby killer and a hippie girl spit on me.”

Not so, according to published post-Covington-students correction.

The entire crowd was moved by the events and words spoken. Phillips then led the gathering in the lighting and partaking of the sacred pipe.

But what if they had known he had not served?
