Hope on your list of "hobbies, interests" you add photography. :-) Some of your photo "speak" volumes - the sign of a great intuitive photographer.

Ahhh, high school Latin. Loved it! Still do. :-) Latin has mysterious and delightful ways of saying things which in English, might not be acceptable by many. So ... a bit of Latin (or mock Latin) for the Incumbent in the White House. "Podex Perfectus Es!"

So, DJT, Canadians are 'nasty' are we, DJT? www.youtube.com/shorts/oOGiY... Depends on the meaning of the word.Yes, some times. OTOH, as I understand the meaning of the word, you and your minions, DJT, are always nasty: N — Narcissistic A — Arrogant S — Self-serving T — Threatening Y — Yappy

In Canada, “nasty” is just pride with the gloves off.

25 years ago today, a day known simply as 9-/11. If you don't remember 9/11. If you were a child or not born in 2011. If you don't know the story of Flight 93, check my FB page. May such a terrible event never happen again. Vote as if your life depends on it. Because it might. Never forget 9/11.

Words from a wise man whose wisdom is based on countless generations. Thank you, Bishop Charleston. May your warning be heeded. May people listen. May your wisdom become embedded in the hearts, actions of those with the power to make decisions that could reverse the potential existential threat.

DJT thinks he can name Lake Ontario. Such ignorance! Again!! My heart continues to ache for the people of the US who know exactly the kind of leader DJT is & are now caught in the crosshairs of the fascist agenda of DJT. Don't give way to that fear dear Americans. It's what DJT etc. want.

DJT isn't going to be happy to learn about this work of art, entered into competition at the Sooke Art Show on Vancouver Island (sold for $1800) by Wendy Chartrand .Sounds as if it's going to be the first of a series of manure-media political paintings. cheknews.ca/horse-manure...

Not just "some" but "all"! Why aren't they? Fear of personal reprisal. Fear of losing their job. Fear of ??? No excuse. If they're reporters, then 'report'. If they're journalists, then 'comment'. If they're citizens, then 'speak out'. Do the job! Otherwise they are MAGA collaborators.

So much for adhering to Matt. 6: 5–6 where Jesus tells followers not to pray like hypocrites, warning against Performative Spirituality. "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you"

First was 'reaction', not 'response' and it was 'unconscionable'. Then was 'response' not 'reaction': he has to have a conscience to be able to be unconscionable. He has no conscience - he couldn't care less about what could possibly go wrong as long as those who get the guns praise him - biggly.

Tomorrow is July 4th.“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men <sic> are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” "Unalienable Rights"?? Read the Declaration of Independence. Do you recognize the US today the way it was intended? I don't.

Vance hasn't a clue about the Nicene Creed which is a formal religious creed. Yard-sign slogans function as an informal secular creed. It has neither theological substance nor institutional weight.

Many describe DJT as a narcissist. Greek god Narcissus, known to be cruel to others & vain beyond comparison was brought down by reflecting water! Nemesis, goddess of divine retribution, delivered retribution. Time for Nemesis to enter DJT's life. (Dutch Baroque painting by Godfried Schalcken (1676)

Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) voted to move toward formally excluding women from pastoral leadership. Am in sad solidarity with those who believe they are called to ordained ministry, but will not be allowed, simply because they are women. (The Rev. Dr. June Maffin, Anglican Church of Canada).
