That's right; you read that correctly. Anthony Scaramucci, hired on July 21 to be the communications director of the White House, has been fired by the star of The Apprentice, Donald Trump. It seems that newly hired White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly, retired Marine Corps general and former Homeland Security secretary, was not amenable to working with someone who reminds everyone of a mob godfather apprenctice! It has been an interesting week for Scaramucci, as his wife filed for divorce for on July 27.
Donald Trump has decided to publicly insult the LGBT community; specifically, those who serve in all branches of the military. He announced a ban on transgender people serving, even after supporting gay marriage, over the years. So why the sudden shift? Has the Donald taken his "strong Christian" stance to Kansas, and joined one of the Christian congregations there, such as New Hope Baptist Church in Seneca, Kansas, led by Reverend Curtis Knapp, or perhaps Westboro Baptist Church?
In other news, Donald Trump donated $130,000 to Faith Among Nations, a shell corporation created by the late Rev. Fred Phelps, of Westboro Baptist Church, suspected of quietly funneling money into the church to pay church salaries.
Here it is, Moonlight; the song I told you about a couple of days ago. Today, another young person told me that she had "always been told" that it is unlawful to protest war in America! I asked her who told her that, and she couldn't tell me. The lack of knowledge about our Constitution is becoming a bigger danger that any of the things we protest.
Come see Peter and the Star Catcher in Waterville, Kansas, at the Opera House on Friday, July 21 and Saturday, July 22 at 7:30 PM and Sunday, July 23 at 2:00 PM
How come Hobby Lobby, a self identified "Christian" company, is dealing in stolen art and artifacts? Why are they conducting business with known terrorists, and buying goods from them? Did Jesus tell Christians that it is alright to grab up the treasures of war torn countries, such as Iraq and Syria, and grab items that belong in national museums, for everyone to see? And why do Christians think that it is okay to financially assist terrorists in any way?
I've been following the situation with your son for over a year now. I just want to say that I wish him well, and if he recovers, I will be very happy for him. No question about that. I have some reservations about you, though. You do remember when you badmouthed me behind my back, because you don't like my religion, don't you? I didn't have any use for your born-again church, and I told my children that if, while pretending to teach classes, you continued to mention your silly take on Christianity, they didn't have to listen to you. I'm sure you remember. Even after you quit teaching because no one else liked your approach, either, you still, despite being holier than everyone else, never bothered to teach your children to obey the laws of the land. That brings me to my big question for you: when are you going to get on Facebook and admit to the world that your son's injuries in his car accident were not really the result of failure to use a seat belt, but failure to remain sober while driving? I know alcohol was involved, because I asked the sheriff of the county where your son's vehicle flipped over. How come you have accepted monetary donations without straight-up honesty about it? I am not a Christian, and not terribly religious at all, but I know enough about the new testament to tell you that lying and fraud are wrong. Possibly even more wrong, from a moral standpoint, than teaching your children that the laws of the land do not apply to them. Just tell the truth.
Oh, by the way; "the devil" is not responsible for what happened to your son when he drove drunk last May. Your son is responsible for it. And so are you, indirectly. If you had not chosen to send your children to school where virtually all of the children drink alcoholic beverages, with the approval of teachers, despite the laws against it, your son would probably have never been where he was that night, and if your son had chosen to be "different" enough to abide by the laws of the state and the laws of the land, despite the majority of the student body of his school, the whole thing would never have happened. The youth pastor of your church has been made aware of this, so unless you want to acknowledge that the devil is in the details and tell the truth, you should leave the devil out of it.
Haha! This is too funny! Donald Trump should just resign......before the impeachment proceedings begin! Of course, whether he resigns or not, all investigations into his criminal conduct, before and after the 2016 election, will continue!
We got Gandolf in 2013. He was already an older cat; he had been used as a "stud" for creating Ragdoll kittens. His breeders had decided to have him euthanized, in favor of getting new breeding stock. They took him to the local vet, and paid the fee to put him down. Instead of euthanizing him, the vet let us adopt him. He was every bit as playful as a kitten, but did not climb curtains and was already litter box trained. He was a wonderful pet in every way. This afternoon, he died of old age. We will miss him terribly.
Haha! Early last month, a peacock, actually, a peahen, went shopping in a California liquor store. When she couldn't make up her mind about her selection, and had no ID to prove she was over twenty-one, she was urged to leave, but flew onto a shelf, instead. When Animal Control came, she proceeded to knock down over five hundred dollars in wine and champagne. The manager said he wasn't aware of the peacock until a customer asked him what a bird was doing in the store!
