Item 32- I nominate Pete Rose to accept MLB’s apology on behalf of Willie Mays.

Why not make Pete Rose Baseball Commissioner? There were so many "Bet MGM" commercials during the Diamondbacks/Phillies game yesterday that I joined Gamblers Anonymus in the seventh inning.

#3 about Fr Reidy. Reading the sour po-faced comments to the announcement in the Registry makes me sigh. The many agitated and self-righteous remarks by presumed Catholics against a brilliant and faithful cleric bringing his rare talents to the Supreme Court makes me weary. This is a brilliant man with God given exceptional skills in law scholarship and teaching. I wonder how those against him serving as clerk to Kavanaugh live their own faith. I want happy faithful Christians living the Gospel through their public lives, not people apologizing for their talents and inviting drag men into their sanctuaries in order to fill the pews.

Now I’m envisioning Fr. Reidy completing his clerkship and then Pres. Trump nominating him for the next vacancy on the Sup. Ct.

Yes! What a happy vision. And we would never have known about this man without Fr Don’s weekly summary.

Very true! On further reflection I recalled that some years ago the Vatican prohibited priests running for elective office, but I don’t know if that included appointed judgeships. So my vision will have to be paused pending further developments. 😉

Slow down; how about some DEI? 6 or the 9 Justices are already Catholics, and another one used to be.

Item #5. When are these candy-assed No Oil buffoons going to go right to the source and start vandalizing mosques? After all, those big oil producing countries in the Middle East are all Muslim countries. (Rhetorical question - we all know that they don’t have the cojones to get in Islam’s face.)

Item 4: You wonder why New York is such a shit hole. Why waste time going after people that are actually guilty when you can spend your money going after somebody who is innocent. One realizes that when you have Alvin, you have nothing to Bragg about.

My own addition to this week's highlights: Pedo Joe, aka FJB taking refuge at Camp David for 7 days to prepare for next week's debate - the actual preparation is to perfect his chemical cocktail so he can fool the masses and appear to be a sentient being for 90 minutes

I just got an offer from Starlink to buy a Starlink mini to use away from home. I so want one but have no use for it. I am a Starlink subscriber so I think the offer is legit and unrelated. (It gives me the excuse to casually mention that I am a Starlink user, don’t worry I’m not a vegan and I don’t do CrossFit) if Don was a Starlink user he could get one for his convertible.

Now that it has laser interlinks between satellites, all that SkyNet is missing is sharks or perhaps killer humanoid robots that talk like the Arnoldator. Speaking of Arnold, it is sad to see how far he has fallen. Looks like he's been to Eppstein's Blackmail Island a few times given the company he's keeping now.

This gives an opportunity to mention that my step-son works for delivery by drone company that has technology that could easily be repurposed by Skynet. The FAA is giving him the greatest challenge right now.

#1: I can't help but wonder if that's because the Democrat party in WV doesn't have to matter, anymore - the state's Republican party welcomed Jim Justice with open arms - is the party organization really necessary when their candidates can just become RINOs?

#4: Of course, he did.

#7: Indeed - they are made for each other.

#8: Helen "H.R. Pufnstuff" Thomas

#9: He should have stuck with being half of Tenacious D.

#14: My former home city is lost. It is dead.

#15: When Harvard's endowment has been drawn down and it is no longer a haven for leftists having been abandoned by its faculty and leaving only administrators to manage the vacant buildings - then, I'll rejoice!

#18: Not at all.

#19: "Which is the real reason Corporate America hates it. There is too much news floating around that corporations and the government cannot control."

Truth.

#20: Brother Don, you must be the only person remaining who reads National Review.

#22: "Our government gets dumber by the day."

By the day?!?! By the hour.

#25: President Trump ought to declare open season on every illegal alien - and Mayorkas ought to be hanged.

#26: Next, he should disappear completely.

#28: "The future chief justice of the Supreme Court..."

We can only hope.

#32: The commissioner's office of any given professional sports league must be reserved for the incompetent who can't cut it in congress.

Mays deserved so much better - as does Pete Rose.

It's a five-way tie.

Thank you, Brother Don - your writing had kept me from crying, yet another week.

To "advance the cause" so to speak?

That's why I don't believe any Democrat or lefty media outlet when they claim to be worried about a Biden loss/Trump win. They already know the voting machines and millions of extra printed ballots will pull Biden's sorry corpse over the finish line.

Read “The Big Story” in this edition of The Scroll, about the Dominion machine manipulations of the Puerto Rican elections.

They literally just alter the votes to the desired outcome.

What’s been done about these machines since 2020? Zero, zip, nada.

Item 8: I think Helen Thomas convinced me the DC and big city media was actually driving the news, not just reporting it. They evolved into a sort of quasi political party of liberal elites who, for the right money, would promote the coming of the Fourth Reich as a good thing for America. What I have always found repulsive of this group and their wannabes’s rookies and sycophants is that they never ever question the results of their ideology and its policies. No critiques, no analysis, nothing, they just move on as if their initiatives always result in positive outcomes. That is the definition of true arrogance. Helen Thomas was not a reporter or journalist, she was more like a queen bee spawning more who wanted to be just like her. Some may see her as a ground-breaking female in a profession dominated by men. I saw her as part of the growing takeover of elites.
