Biden cuts off press questions: ‘I’m really gonna be in trouble’ if I keep answering | Fox News
Like the mean little kid on the Red Skelton radio show of the ’40s, if he did it it, he’d be in for a “whippin'”.
Biden took a few questions from reporters yesterday before abruptly stopping and saying “I’m really gonna be in trouble”
Biden Administration’s Incoherent Focus on Crises | National Review
Give Kerry a chance to do what he does best.
You can tell how much of this is stagecraft requiring the suspension of disbelief. President Biden would have us believe things that are logically incompatible, e.g., (1) that climate change is one of the most important crises facing the human race, and (2) that John Kerry should be entrusted with leading our response to climate change.
John Kerry should not be in charge of climate change — he should be in charge of addressing the national debt, because the only thing in life he ever has had much talent for is marrying money. (Mr. Kerry has married two heiresses; the current Mrs. Kerry has married two senators — these are totally normal people and not weird at all.)
Not off the Democratic bench, no. A first-stringer.

In 2019 we could laugh about it . . .

Dominus Vobiscum: Notes from a massgoer's underground
Argues that Mass is a spiritual event that goes beyond hearing Scripture.
While it is true that part of the Mass is meant to be instructive and intelligible, the overall character of the liturgy is meant to be much more. Instead, what is meant to be the focus is that, in the “liturgy, heaven joins earth, the invisible becomes visible, and the symbolic is the real (sign and reality)” (Mystical Body, Mystical Voice: Encountering Christ in the Words of the Mass, 27). This hidden reality should then be expressed in the language that is used at Mass, for “the language that we use during the liturgy is the Mystical Voice of the Mystical Body, a ‘hymn of praise that is sung through all the ages in the heavenly places’” (Ibid, 29).
Rather than being a mere proclamation of scripture, the liturgy is meant to bring others…
