“We don’t believe in killing innocents,” Ramadan Abedi said before he was detained in Tripoli. It's hard to be sure what this means. Maybe to Ramadan Abedi "innocents" actually means what most of us take it to mean. However, to many, many people throughout history who had the authority and means to rain down mass death and destruction on whole populations, there is no such thing as a truly "innocent." Even killing an infant can be justified to a warped way of thinking if considering them as merely future adversaries to be slain at any time with no mercy.

“We cannot have any unity as long as there are those who truly believe that they are sole possessors of the Truth -- and that includes the Catholic hierarchy.” Part 1. It is unbelievable, anyone who thinks that they are sole possessors of the Truth! Anyone who thinks that do not know neither God nor themselves. We humans don’t possess the capabilities to know God in his entirety. What we know about God maybe truth but never the entire truth. God's spirit is immanent in all living for God's spirit is the sole spirit and life energy in this universe. He is drawing all living to himself by His Spirit presence according to what each is capable to respond. It is not the aim of each religion to sacrifice half of differences to become one religion. Each religion must be true to their spiritual heritage, for that is the source of their power and gift to the world. We need to find a way to share each others true spiritual heritage to enriched by the other religion.

“Two months later President Obama took part in a Georgetown University panel, a “Poverty Summit,” in which he and other speakers invoked the “least of these” term to argue that government had an obligation to care for the poor.” Jesus spoke to His Apostles, Disciples, and Faithful (whether they worked in government or not.) He did not express or say in any of the passages that government (i.e. Rome, Pontius Pilate, Herod, etc.) were obligated to take care of the poor. He told the Church to do so. In fact, most/majority of Saints did this, not government. Pressing further, the danger of government welfare is that the government changes all the time. Whether the persons in the State are Libertarian, Conservative, Republican, Democratic, Socialist, Communist, or Fascist leaning – the government will change welfare (i.e. social services assisting the poor.) And hence the poor will always be vulnerable to that assistance. Charity must be resilient, independent, stable, and diverse sources.

“This move toward ecclesial democracy…” and then, “…may be an excellent time to discern anew where the restless and generative Holy Spirit may be leading us on this and related matters.” The Holy Spirit is consistent with the Father and the Son. In the Council of Nicean Profession we make at Mass, “the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son. And with the Father and the Son, is worshipped and glorified. He Who has spoken through the Prophets.” When Judas Iscariot had rendered to the sad and terrible state of killing himself – seeing no mercy for his sins and transgressions – that opened the first Apostolic office (i.e. Bishopric) for a successor: Acts 6:1-7. Thus, not a mere ecclesial democracy. And since God, the Third Person filled these men with prayer and the laying on of hands, a Consistent Tradition had been elevated/held by the Church for every successor. The Holy Spirit would not lead anyone astray from that time and long honored Tradition.

They almost certainly will; after all, they deliberately subjected 100,000 Sephardic JEWISH children to radiation poisoning in 1950 just to see what it would do–the ~94,000 who survived are dying from leukemia and cancer today. Anyone who thinks the Israelis will refrain from precipitating a nuclear holocaust, or that Hillary will hesitate to enable them to do so for one second is deluding him/herself.

“The vast majority of our officers are honest, hardworking and committed to public service. The few who are not must answer for their actions.” Com'on Carey. We not interested here in your first statement. Public servants are paid by the public and expected to do exactly that, in the MINIMUM. Yeah, yean. Policemen get our "thank you for your service" and "you one hero", but what we're really interested in having you elaborate is not about the first statement. We like you tell us ALL about the second statement. The stupid, crooked, corrupt, or lazy cop is like the cockroach in the stew.....one is one too many. Tell us public what we really need to know.

“The time has come to restart this top-down inquiry and to rebuild it from the ground up,” says the letter. “Prime Minister Trudeau, it is time for you to come alongside families of [missing and murdered women, girls and two-spirited people], restart this inquiry and create space for an Indigenous, trauma-informed process that honours all our relations.” Sounds like a WLU grad wrote that.

“The thing that I’m concerned about is that he won’t get the message,” Jones said. I'm sorry but, what message? This is not sarcasm or a disguised insult. I have no idea what was being protested. Stop the war on women? President Trump has been President for 7 days. What war on women did he start. LGBT? The man worked in Hollywood. What has he done, actually done, to harm the LGBT community more than people calling us queers, which this article includes as an identifier for us. Minorities? I have never heard our new President speak one word against our citizens of any race. “I am here because I want to show that I’m not afraid,” said Sunya Moss... a United States citizen. What should she have to fear, she is a citizen. One of us. Honestly, all I have gotten out of this is "We are angry". So is the rest of America, that is why we rejected those who have been running things and went with something different. How is everything suddenly his fault? Mob. Roar. OK, so?

“The real problem is the head clown in the white house has told the immigration and border people they are free to be as abusive as they choose.” Where “abusive” means simply enforcing existing laws. “So you have the prospect that a student would make the trip and not be allowed back in the country.” An illegal alien is quite aware of their status, therefore when there’s a trip that requires crossing the border, such students will know they don’t qualify and won’t register for the trip. Moot point. No need for your tears, Mike. Regardless, even if an illegal alien gets deported, fine by me. They don’t belong in this country.

“The protective major media phalanx around Hillary certainly extends to her health issues, which only the Drudge Report has had the courage to flag. In assessing possible future occupants of the White House, the public has an inalienable right to know. I was incredulous at the passive gullibility of the media, including the New York Times, last July, when a woman internist, identified as Hillary’s doctor, released a summary letter about her health that was lacking in the specifics one would normally expect in medical records. Does anyone really think that world-renowned Hillary, whose main residence for years has been in Washington and not Chappaqua, has as her primary physician an obscure young internist in Mount Kisco, New York?

“The poetry of history lies in the quasi-miraculous fact that once, on this earth, once, on this familiar spot of ground, walked other men and women, as actual as we are today, thinking their own thoughts, swayed by their own passions, but now all gone, one generation vanishing into another, gone as utterly as we ourselves shall shortly be gone, like ghosts at cockcrow.” ― G.

“The plea agreement that we negotiated for her at least gets her out of prison while she is still a woman with a life in front of her.

“The people of this country elected Donald Trump,” Gardner said to an eruption of anger, adding that he believes Trump is fit for office." Gardner blew it. Even before the election, members of his own party knew tRump was unfit for office and asked him to step down, following the P-grabbing comments about women. Of course, that was only when the Rs still feared losing the election. Since then, they have recklessly embraced him, against their own better judgment, as a desperate effort to pass their bad agenda. Cory, the people did NOT elect this man to be President. He lost the popular vote by over 3 million. The Electoral College "elected" him. He won by a fluke in the system and by a tiny percentage of fools in a couple of states who fell for his con. Mostly angry white men. Must wonder what they saw in this guy. Maybe they were latent racists and misogynists, too. The EC failed at its core purpose: it was meant to prevent someone unqualified like tRump, not merely rubber stamp it.

“The people coming now irregularly will still have to go through all the proper processes.” Mr Trudeau said A person coming across the border on a unicycle is doing so irregularly....a person coming across the border at a non-designated border crossing without approved entry or immigration documentation is coming illegally ....it's not actually that hard a word to say, but it frames the argument more clearly and perhaps that's the problem for Mr Trudeau who recently sent out the invitations but apparently forgot the request for RSVPs. as for urging people who are coming across illegally to respect the law, which of course if they were to do, it would place them at a disadvantage....I don't really know what to say about that appeal from our Prime Minister...but I'm sure it will work out.

We need to open up wages so that employers will start to compete for employees. They're probably a lot of qualified English-speaking employees. It's just that employers want them to also speak Japanese or Chinese.

“The location of this attack was no accident,” Ms. May said, adding that the terrorist chose to strike at the heart of the country’s symbol of democracy and freedom. And it just happened to be where the decision was made to keep troops in the Middle East, killing Muslims. The same decision was made in Canada, namely strike back at the source of the decision to attack Muslim countries. I can imagine the frustrations of those who had co-religionists being attacked. I know I was disappointed when Canada joined the worlds bully in attacking Afghanistan, I thought it was appalling. And I had no connection with them other than that they were humans. What does Canada have to do to have Canadians rebel against its politicians! Few seem to realize that if a country has been abusing other countries for, in Britain's case for more than a century, that there will be blow back! So I believe that democracy and freedom had nothing to do with the attack in London. It was retaliation.
