It’s that sweet spot of the year: when you can drop the Zyrtec but can hold off on the zinc and lysine for a couple more weeks

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

You can never appease a tyrant, but you CAN make fun of them.

So in a way, canning Kimmel was something of an β€œown goal.” And it’s not going to stop anything.

Jesters were protected, similar to heralds, who were inviolate.

Re Kimmel etc:
These late night shows, and particularly their hosts, are the modern day jesters. Most people just think jesters were entertainers, but their real job was calling out what was really happening: who was scheming, who was skimming, whatever- so the ruler would have accurate info.

Kash and Company β€œcaught the man?” Come on. The family gave him the guy, gift-wrapped.

Yes. A wise Franciscan (Richard Rohr) often says, β€œIf you don’t transform your pain, you will transmit it.”

And another thing: y’all know about the 10 Commandments, but go back to the garden of Eden and you see that God told Adam and Eve to TEND THE GARDEN. Sort of the very first Commandment. I’m gonna say that means the planet, yeah, so, don’t s*** where you eat. IYKYK.

I really don’t get the super-rich crowd’s denial of global warming. They know it’s real. Do they really think they can live in their fortresses forever? When there are NO crops, NO escape from the heat; I could go on but y’all get it….

THE DECLARATION OF RESISTANCE July 4, 2025

β€œWhen in the course of human events, a government abandons its duty and weaponizes its power against the people it was meant to serve, it becomes the right, and the obligation, of the people to resist.”

And I doubt the Pipe would exclude women, clergy or not, from the great company of all
Believers. It’s about the WORKS.
