CNN: Racist texts referring to ‘picking cotton’ sent to Black people across US after election

I've been so self-absorbed the past few days, I missed this till now. It really shouldn't be a surprise though. As the young lady in the segment says, whatever group or groups are responsible for this hate speech terror attack were clearly primed to go as soon as the race was called for Trump. It's almost as if they knew he was going to win. Hmmm... Now I wonder how that could be. :P


Be careful with your comparisons

Passing Dad's television (showing Fox News) just now, I caught a single phrase:


"the greatest political comeback since Richard Nixon"


I admit it. That made me smirk.


Greatest comeback since Nixon, eh? Well now, you might want to be careful comparing your boy to Tricky Dick. If you'll recall, that second term he won in a massive landslide didn't work out so well for him. Just something to think about.

"Rational and humane?" What planet is this man living on? There will be nothing humane about the second Trump administration. There'll be precious little rationality either.

SHOCKING UPDATE ON TRUMP

Kamala Lost, What's Next?

On Abortion Bans

 Any law that makes miscarriage a death sentence is a bad law, both poorly written and immoral. An abortion ban must be written in close consultation with obstetricians to be sure, for instence, that routine, life-saving procedures such as DNC that have nothing to do with abortion are not criminalized.


Rather than being rare, Miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) is quite common. If current, poorly designed abortion bans remain on the books, the spectrum of women of childbearing age - from teens to late forties - will be decimated, leaving millions of motherless children. Such an outcome cannot be healthy for society as a whole. And it is most assuredly not pro-life.

Trump Won

 Donald Trump has won the electoral college, and he looks set to win the popular vote as well. God help us all!

Daily Godcast Evening Prayer All Souls Day

American CATHOLICS will be SENT to JAIL If this HAPPENS !


Oh dear. Harris has run such a brilliant campaign that for her to be so ham handed here is very upsetting. When asked about a possible compromise, to my way of thinking she should have said:

"By law, all American hospitals must provide emergency care. If that care includes an emergency abortion, even Catholic hospitals are obliged to perform that operation. However, no religiously affiliated hospital is obliged to provide elective abortions."

She's always touting her willingness to compromise, and this seems to me a simple, logical solution to the problem that should be acceptable to most people on both sides. But, she didn't say that, and you can see the hostility of the men in the video. I'm afraid her obdurance may cost her votes.

Recommended Book of the Week: The Magician's Nephew

As those who frequent this blog probably know, I'm a voracious reader, including of children's and YA books. So, to inaugurate my Recommended Book of the Week feature, I've chosen a long-time favorite.

The Magician's Nephew
Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer are perfectly ordinary children in Victorian London. But, when they accidentally walk into the study cum labratory of Digory's Uncle Andrew, they begin a series of adventures that prove to be anything but ordinary.
