There is a book out I recommend on this topic by Dr. Paul Thigpen, called "Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith: Are We Alone in the Universe with God and the Angels?"

In short, though, Christ's sacrifice to redeem humanity does not preclude, or prevent other plans for other species.

Some say the government is keeping aliens evidence from the world because it would shatter people's religious faith. If that is true, they are very, very wrong. Thigpen is convinced aliens have visited, but remains open to the possibility he's wrong. Most of the book is spent covering the theology of the matter.

I learned from a very reputable source, that said that Lula got 60 million votes and Bolsonaro got 58, but also that 3 million votes were "thrown out". The source didn't go into detail, other than that Boldonaro is contesting the election, but I don't know how that works in Brazil.

I believe that this is the reason they did it, to prevent a wave of "died suddenly" lawsuits.

The Fifth Circuit held last week that the Consumer Financial Protection Board (CFPB) cannot promulgate or enforce its regulations because, by law, it receives its operating funds each year from the Federal Reserve Board rather than time-limited appropriations statutes.

The Constitution's Appropriations Clause states: "No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law."

So, when they set this piece of shit agency up after 2008, the CFPB got it's money from the Federal Reserve directly. You can think of a million reasons why this might be a problem, even more than the problems of it getting tax dollars directly.

“Each year, the Bureau simply requests an amount “determined by the Director to be reasonably necessary to carry out the” agency’s functions. Id. § 5497(a)(1). The Federal Reserve must then transfer that amount so long as it does not exceed 12% of the Federal Reserve’s “total operating expenses.” [5th Circuit op.]

This is not an “appropriation”, its an “authorization” because it does not designate a specific sum. The Director is making the “appropriation” so its a violation of the Appropriation Clause.

An indictment of Trump on phony charges will come at some point. They can't back off now. If you attack the king, you better kill him.

The DOJ is just deciding on whether to do it before the midterms or after. If they do it before, will it piss off Republicans and make the "red wave" bigger, or will it demoralize them? Will it give Dems something to cheer on and embolden them?

The fact that “election officials” is plural is not lost on me. You can rest assured that the 39th Ward is not the one and only place this happened.

Myers pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election for orchestrating schemes to fraudulently stuff the ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pennsylvania elections.

There was known ballot fraud in Philadelphia in 2014.

There was known ballot fraud in Philadelphia in 2015.

There was known ballot fraud in Philadelphia in 2016.

There was known ballot fraud in Philadelphia in 2017.

There was known ballot fraud in Philadelphia in 2018.

But to suggest that there was ballot fraud in Philadelphia in 2020 is a conspiracy theory.

Even worse, Conservative, Inc. is now seeking to excommunicate any Republican who dares to question the integrity of the 2020 election.

Can anyone point me to a politician in the West, with executive power and not a legislator, who mouths all the usual bromides about support for Israel, but who after getting into power, did absolutely nothing on the issue, or perhaps actively worked against Israel's foreign policy interests?
