Over 20 years ago I was on the Campus of Georgetown University in Washington, DC. There was a notice on one of the bulletin boards saying that Basil Pennington, a Catholic Monk at St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, MA, would be speaking that afternoon on the subject of Centering Prayer. I went to the event,

Kennedy drew 60,000 at 3AM in Waterbury; Obama, 150,00 in Denver; Trump 6,200 in Tulsa, including staff, secret service, assorted flunkies, wannabees, and, supernumeraries. That’s about right. The universe is starting to make sense. The Trump Act is getting stale and tired. The “cover story” of shaking things up does’t wash. Deep state, Antifa (anyone

MAMIE TILL SON EMMETT, 14, KILLED, MS 1955 SCHWERNER, GOODMAN, CHANEY, KILLED, MS 1964 GEORGE FLOYD, KILLED, MN 2020 I’d heard the name, Emmett Till decades ago and knew it was associated with something awful. It was probably ten years ago that I saw the photographs of his grotesquely beaten face. If you see those

Anybody who has played or watched sports has heard a coach or or an announcer say “its going to come down to who wants it the most.” Think about the great winners in recent sports history…Brady, Jordan, Tiger. Great ability, sure. But what separated them from the pack was a ferocious determination to prepare harder

I’m not jumping up and down about Biden. He doesn’t do that for many people. I’m not looking to send him a check. I sent a couple to Tulsi, but that’s another story. If Joe was speaking to a group across the street (and mass meetings were allowed) I wouldn’t go. I’m afraid if I

If you’re for Joe, how can you feel optimistic? What has he done that makes you want to say “he’s got this, he’s on top of his game.” Does he speak with passion and conviction that makes you want to send him a check. Has he ever given a speech that brought you to your

From Mike the pillow man, to Barr the jowl man, to the collection of unknowns and lesser knowns spaced out, literally and figuratively, in the White House Press Room it was just a matter of time before Trump would have them stoned on Trumpspeak. We’re talking about playing Three Card Monte in a room with

Has Joe Biden just announced that Kamala Harris will not be his choice for Vice President on the Biden Democratic Ticket and Amy Klobuchar will? I think he has and I think he will. First, Biden said he would pick a woman as his running mate. Second, he said he would nominate an African American woman as his first

After a Day of Impeachment Hearings, Trump looks like he’s winning. Plus, the Conventional Wisdom about you is that you’re a gaffe machine and a “consolation prize” nominee. Do yourself and the Democratic Party a favor and go on FOX in the next few days and subject yourself to everything they’ve got. Suggest you go on

Democrats have a choice. Go big, go bold, hit hard and win. Or, be careful, politically correct, don’t offend anyone and lose. Trump has demonstrated the power of hate and the big lie. It gives the base their sugar high. They’re going to need more, much more. Imagine what Trump will be willing to do in
