I haven’t been to church in weeks. Months. This is unusual, because I like going to church, singing, seeing people. My reasons are very trivial: I am responsible for the church website and it needs to be updated, but to do that I need to sit at my desk rather than recline on the couch or in bed. And I don’t want to dig into my photos, revamp stuff, and create a tutorial for how to update the church website for interested persons who don’t know anything about WordPress. At least, not right now. And I don’t want to be…

They’re both “wrong ‘uns.” TOKYO — North Korea launched a ballistic missile Tuesday morning that flew over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, public broadcaster NHK reported. The government issued an alert for residents in some prefectures to take cover.

Remember the family victimized when the local KKK burned a cross on their lawn, but they won a lawsuit? President Reagan dropped by to visit them. Funny thing, they never did collect on the settlement. The leader of the local KKK disappeared. Many years later, he turned up as a Catholic priest, and NO ONE wants to talk about him. Not his diocese, not his former diocese, not current and former parishioners, no one. The Washington Post did find a few people willing to talk about him, like old schoolmates who were shocked by his transformation from racist skinhead to…

If this had gone through last summer, would it have been a deal breaker for the Trumpist base? Probably not. Make Moscow Great Again! Nevertheless, the details of the deal, which have not previously been disclosed, provide evidence that Trump’s business was actively pursuing significant commercial interests in Russia at the same time he was campaigning to be president — and in a position to determine U.S.-Russia relations. The new details from the emails, which are scheduled to be turned over to congressional investigators soon, also point to the likelihood of additional contacts between Russia-connected individuals and Trump associates during…
