What little I did do would take longer to explain than it did to accomplish. But there is s-l-o-w progress going on. Trnette was visiting family today -actually for the holiday weekend. I&#8217;m not totally sure which family &#8211; she has some on both coasts &#8211; but my guess would be southern California as that&#8217;s where her Mom lives.

I don&#8217;t know why so many people, including even some black people, seem to think that black people as a group are not very bright. I would bet there are some white spoiled brats running around who are dumber than some black youths who grew up with leaded water.<\/p>\n<p>This is <a href=\"https:\/\/crooksandliars.com\/2024\/07\/maga-archbishop-vigano-excommunicated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">serious good news<\/a> to me. The Catholic Church in the United States is about as polarized theologically as the country is politically. Possibly this will send a dignal to the other bishops in the MAGA camp (such as Cordiloene in San Francisco &#8211; and isn&#8217;t that a mob name?), and failing that, maybe they will follow Vigano into excommunication.
