Someone said they are sustainable for viruses.
The COVID-19 outbreak is giving new meaning to those “sustainable” shopping bags that politicians and environmentalists have been so eager to impose on the public. These reusable tote bags can sustain the COVID-19 and flu viruses—and spread the viruses throughout the store.
This can’t be. The best and the brightest recommended this.
ROME – Just a day after Cardinal Angelo De Donatis announced the unprecedented decision to close all the churches in the Diocese of Rome to stop the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19, Papal Almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski has done exactly the opposite: The Polish cardinal opened his titular church, Santa Maria Immacolata in Rome’s Esquiline neighborhood.
“It is the act of disobedience, yes, I myself put the Blessed Sacrament out and opened my church,” Krajewski told Crux.
“It did not happen under fascism, it did not happen under the Russian or Soviet rule in Poland – the churches were not closed,” he said, adding that “this is an act that should bring courage to other priests.”
It worked:
Later in the day the Rome diocese rolled back its order to close churches.
Trump took it two years ago, aced it. So what’s the problem?
As if one needs to ask.
You want a problem, however? Why did Forbes ax the piece?
My rule is that when you hire for any reason other than competence, you are asking for trouble.
Said the voter ought to “step outside” to settle the issue.
As “Joe Biden” and “senility” become twins in voters’ minds, like macaroni and cheese, Biden got into a verbal brawl with a Michigan autoworker, telling the younger man he was “full of s—” and threatening to “go outside” and settle their differences on the Second Amendment.
Nothing to see here: Dem congresswoman says he was just having “a human moment.”
Telling worried handler to “shush,” Biden took his humanity further and called the man “a horse’s ass.”
Sharpening his debating skills.
Spirited exchange, end of campaign vs. incivility, because the main Dem said it, so what?

White males need not apply . . .
Hillary Clinton spent the entire 2016 campaign expecting victory and she appeared to feel entitled to the presidency. “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?” she infamously asked in September 2016. If there’s anything one should take away from her defeat it is to not be overconfident. Her overconfidence …
You look around, stuff turns up, this time about Oak Park days.
Dominus Vobiscum: Notes from a massgoer's underground
The liturgy under discussion is spelled out, encapsulated, here, in passages from “The Priority of Religion and Adoration over Communion,” by Peter Kwasniewski:
Whenever the Mass is celebrated more like a meal, versus populum [facing the people], without silence, without serious elevations and double genuflections, with a memorial acclamation breaking in on our acts of adoring faith, and an overall informal ars celebrandi [mode of celebrating], such things undermine the aforementioned Tridentine [16th-century Council of Trent] dogmas and weaken the sensus fidelium [what people believe].
In such circumstances, it is not surprising that holy communion becomes the high point of the service, indeed the only point; and if one does not receive, one is “left out.” Why go to Mass otherwise?
On the other hand:
But if the focus is the priestly offering of the holy sacrifice as an act of the virtue of religion – giving to…

Dominus Vobiscum: Notes from a massgoer's underground
Should we fit worship to the worshipers? (Bunch of worshipers coming, what do we have for them? Something special, please.)
Or worshipers to the worship? (Solid stuff here, take it or leave it, trust us, you will not regret it, even in this life.)
Consider the first. It’s the Protestant way and successful to a degree, here and there, now and then. And it’s better than flip-floppy nothing.
But for the really serious, you’ve gotta have more. You gotta have substance, not tailored to these and those, who in the grand scheme of things are here today, gone tomorrow. (Even the cleanest-living leave sooner or later.)
Give me men to match those mountains, said Sam Walter Foss, “Poet, Librarian and Friend to Man,” in 1894.
Give us worshipers to match this worship. Ask them, Are you up to the challenge? Can you stand the truth of the matter?

Wow. Demagoguery 101, compliments of the minority leader.
“You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!”
Leaving us wondering, what does he have in mind?
