The bottomless Pinocchio is for Harry Mudd, Cardinal Burke and Trump. Anyone who believes their own propaganda.

The Puerto Rican Authority was flawed from the start
 The President should have picked all members st the recommendation of the Delegate and the Governor. It does not help that the Governor is an idiot.

Racism and classism are part of the reactionary tool kit. To them it is a feature, not a flaw.

Both Santa and the fence show how conservatives, especially those who came of age in the fifties, want their world tied up with a bow. They can't help themselves.

Liberalism is all things to all people, although at heart it is humanism that animates liberalism. It is a polite form of radicalism, which has existed as long as hominids left the trees, if not earlier. It is fegianve of authority. Indeed, without radicals there would be no need for reactionary authority or tradition as its champion.

As for Commonweal, it takes deep dives into issues, like Rachel Maddow does. The Church needs that.

The Curry story is important because it shows that talented athletes get inferior education if they play well.

The world's poor by the shore need inland shelter and the means to evacuate worldwide. Those who serve the rich will follow them inland. To get the rich to move or to advocate for doing something about warming simply end flood insurance for beach properties. Of course the real issue for the working class is that the rich have the money to stop this from happening until it is too late.

The great thing about the video is that Jesus is wearing Franciscan robes under his white garment.
