Here is the indulgence calendar for June
Remember indulgences can only be earned for yourself or the dead so folks like the management of the Dodgers, you’ll just have to do regular prayers for them.
Here is the blank, fill in your own names version.
Update: Speaking of the Dodgers and Prayers:
A quick reminder, a game vs the Angels means seeing Ohtani, the biggest draw in baseball
There are a lot of people making a lot of noise on the debt ceiling deal that was worked out between the House Leadership and the President, including a lot of conservatives who are savaging McCarthy who has done a pretty good job as speaker for making the deal.
Before everyone gets their knickers in an uproar let’s face reality.
That means the GOP has at best only 1/3 the leverage on any deal and thus if you’re going to make a deal the amount of what you want that you are going to get is going to be accordingly smaller than you want.
If the GOP finds this unacceptable the best solution is as follows:
When that happens you will have all the leverage and that’s when we’ll see who really believes in fiscal responsibility and who only believes in it when they can’t do much about it.
For now elections, even stolen ones, have consequences so if you want to put the house in order, let’s start by willing some election so you can exercise the power needed to make the changes necessary instead of whining about having to make a deal when you aren’t likely to get a better alternative passed.
And let’s note something, what is the incentive for this administration to give a better deal?
They can count on the media to push their narrative blaming us for the punitive measures they take on the debt and you can be sure they’re take ones that cause the maximum pain to voters in order to sell their message.
“But DaTechGuy”, you say, “the informed voter won’t fall for this.” Let me remind you the majority of voters don’t pay attention, they only know when a service they need is gone.
This deal is a win, it’s not a 7th game of the world series win or even a win that clinches a playoff spot. It’s analogous to a win on a rainy may day in front of 5,000 fans early in the season that nobody cares much about because everyone is paying attention to the NFL draft or the Stanley Cup or the NBA playoffs.
Let’s take the minor win and not shoot ourselves in the foot while working to win the election to actually get the power to do what needs to be done.
A lot of attention is being given to this speech at the CUNY graduation
You have an ultra left student, in an ultra left university, in an ultra left city where the ultra left hates the country, the police and Jews.
Furthermore the left has been telling you that this is who they are for the last decade or more, loudly by both words and by actions, many of them violent.
Why would you expect anything other than what you got?
By all mean be outraged at this speech and the person who delivered it, but you have no business being surprised.
I’ll give the last word to Byron York
Our winner, Rolling Stone:
Not the bee is having fun with it but the reason why they don’t get the joke at Rolling Stone is that their target audience does not consist of the normal.
