I wouldn’t want to embarrass the many famous and influential people who visit my profile, perhaps even daily, for wisdom, insight, and encouragement.
Wendell Willkie married a cousin of mine. (A closer cousin, of course, to my great-grandfather than to me.)
share a piece of lore that connects you to history.
Two thoughts: (1) There’s no reason for a conservative bishop to keep some modernist around just for the sake of doing it. (2) The Arian crisis amply demonstrated that any number of diocesan bishops might be appalling heretics and vicious in promoting that heresy.
What is being done to Ed Peters, Ralph Martin and Eduardo Echeverria is an outrage. This looks like a "Saturday night massacre" style purge of those faithful to the tradition of the Church.
Lexington has a bunch of these (mostly two stories) in the swanky old money part of town. They blend in beautifully. No one builds them now. They seem like easy slam dunks.
We perfected the small apartment building in a residential neighborhood.. Then we suddenly just stopped building them.
“What Hulk Hogan did”—you mean, provide AJ Daulerio with an opportunity to give perhaps the worst answer that has ever been given in a courtroom?
I'm a totally normal, mild-mannered guy until the moment someone brings up what Hulk Hogan did to Gawker
People are shocked that one of the two biggest figures of the Democrat group-therapy of the first two years of Bush's second term turned out to be a boring scold?
The problem was Colbert and the atmosphere that he created, which was profoundly different to Johnny Carson's. America is a big, interesting place; the Colbert-led Late Show did not understand that. nationalreview.com/2025/07/stephe…
Excuse me, R. Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma because of his extensive experience in the energy sector.
🚨NEW: Ex-Obama Aides Tommy Vietor & Jon Lovett *FIRE BACK* at Hunter Biden for accusing them of profiting off Obama🚨 VIETOR: "You were on the board of Burisma because of who your dad is. And that is what people hate about Washington. And it was part of the problem." LOVETT:…
Stop trying to be a gatekeeper to a political and intellectual tradition in which you just arrived with refugee status. Be grateful or you should think about returning home.
You will not make me care about “The Babylon Bee,” or as your favorite poster (Me) likes to call it, “The Babbling-On Bee,” which many people are saying has not been funny in years. Perhaps it has never been funny.
The pope who finally solves the Breviary Problem will merit the title “The Great” during his lifetime.
I get the sense that the new translation of the LotH will reveal the same thing as the new translation of the Order of Baptism - that the ritual itself, and not the translation, was the problem. But we have neither the courage nor the brainpower to overhaul it.
This wasn’t a good joke. It was a badly timed joke, considering that more people than ever (and at an increasing rate) are watching and rooting for the W. You people would clap like seals at the TV while your house burns down as long as it doing frat boy idpol

The Steve Miller Band has canceled all dates for its 2025 North American tour due to the general trend of climate change-induced weather disasters: "The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you…
"Excuse me. Excuse me. That's not funny, Shane."

For professional reasons, I talk to auctioneers all the time, and the story has been this way for a while. There’s just not much interest in antiques any more.
with the exception of museum quality/rareness, antique prices have fallen off a cliff over the past 10 years. you can decorate your home like a 18th century royal with pieces unthinkable 99% of humans across history, but instead you live amongst minimalist ikea slop
