    Why Everyone Needs An AR-15

    OTOH, you do see/hear broad support of increased safety measures to prevent injuries and death(s). Licensing (with a written and road test prior) is a requirement, as is registration with an annual renewal. At the minimum there's liability insurance. I'd be agreeable to implementing some of...

    Biden - It's not Easter! It's Transgender Day!

    That's correct it doesn't. Nor does Easter have anything to do with March 31st. Was Easter March 31st last year? How about the year prior or the year prior to that? You do understand how the Roman Catholic Church sets the celebration of Easter, yes, no, maybe? That day was also set aside on...

    What are your thoughts on Trump: 2016 versus today? Poll

    In 2016 I considered Trump to be an immoral, unethical businessman who had proven he was unfit for office with his repeated immoralities, bankruptcies and fraud. Given everything that has transpired since he was elected then subsequently voted out of office; there is only one word that comes to...

    Donald Trumps new add.......Not bad!

    IMHO, It plays like a parody of a movie trailer on Saturday Night Live. It would be mildly humerous as satire. That some would take it seriously is disturbing.

    California’s $20 fast food minimum wage balloons menu prices — with some chains increasing costs by nearly $2

    That makes no sense. A corporation shifting their labor costs to the taxpayers does not constitute the corporation "living beyond their means". Particularly true when the example indicates an increase in profit in excess of a billion. Try again, addressing the question asked instead of changing...

    California’s $20 fast food minimum wage balloons menu prices — with some chains increasing costs by nearly $2

    Perhaps that's the case. My take is the rhetoric more closely resembles that of corporatocracy. It's not anti-government in as much as for whom government represents.

    California’s $20 fast food minimum wage balloons menu prices — with some chains increasing costs by nearly $2

    You first called a minimum wage law designed to keep full time workers off of public assistance programs "legalized theft" then later revised to "extortion." 70 percent of adult SNAP recipients are full-time workers. When a company pay scale is so low that their workers must depend on public...

    California’s $20 fast food minimum wage balloons menu prices — with some chains increasing costs by nearly $2

    Out of curiosity; what term would you apply to a company with earnings of $14.563 Billion (2023) shifting labor costs onto taxpayers?

    California’s $20 fast food minimum wage balloons menu prices — with some chains increasing costs by nearly $2

    The national average salary in the U.S. in Q4 of 2023 was $59,384 That'd make it $19.13 an hour. If the original federal minimum wage had kept pace with inflation, it'd be in the $17-20 range today. ".. no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers...

    It's also the response in the Litanies after each petition.

    On "Christian" Rock (With Dio)??

    I tend to agree with Fr Damick, the Christian counter-culture idea seemed to b more prevelant in the 80s, early 90s. I recall Christian business guides and music comparison charts (if you like mainstream-x then listen to CCM-y) etc but then again - I've been removed from it for several years now.

    The Harrowing of Hell

    A thought; The Psalmist said, "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there."

    On "Christian" Rock (With Dio)??

    Your post starts with a glaring error that could offer a small bit of clarity on some of your post; Kerry Livgren was NOT the lead singer in Kansas. To my knowledge, he's not a singer. That explains why Seeds of Change utilized several guest singers, including Dio. I don't agree that there's...

    The supremacy of the popes (of Rome).

    This much is true. The Bishop of Rome is the head of the Patrichate in Rome and leader of the Latin Church. Most, perhaps not all, would agree with that. Suggesting it goes further is where you run afoul with history, Ecclesiology and into objection(s).

    Taking stock

    I have no grand words of wisdom. I'll just say, I will remember you in my prayers. Lord have mercy.
