April 20, 2026 Late Saturday evening, Josh Dawsey and Annie Linskey of the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump was so unstable and angry after learning on April 3 that Iranians had shot down an American jet that...

Very helpful. Non-violent sabotage...

Is a repost the same as taking a screenshot? No, I don't think so either.

Black graphic with a portrait of James Pilkington (1520–1576) beside a quote from Exposition Upon the Prophet Aggeus: “Salomon saith, ‘He that hideth up his corn shall be cursed among the people, but blessing shall be on them that sell it.’ God grant the richer sort pitiful hearts to open their barns and purse to the relief of the poor, that they may escape God’s plague and man’s curse!“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pilkington on Proverbs 11:26: hoarders get cursed, sellers get blessed. Not collectivism—private property stays intact. Cornering markets during famine simply attracts God’s plague and popular fury. Blaming the hungry for coveting is the modern substitute. #puritan #proverbs #bible

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

I'm surprised that he ever considered otherwise.

Pope Leo XIV channels Cardinal Bernardin's teachings to stand against Iran war Watching the pope rebuke President Donald Trump over the war, a reader recalls lessons about Bernardin. Also, expand mail-in ballot drop-off sites, and "Me Too" hits home for Latinas.

This CTU student has said it better than I have said it.

"What we are watching is not a personal feud between a pope from Chicago and a president from Queens. It is a collision between two answers to the same question: What does power owe to human life?"

The Petulant Peril froths again.

NASA just dropped the closest image ever taken of Jupiter...

This will be the one organised by Franklin Graham? Where Franklin will be reading Trump and the assemblage Luke 10 - about the Good Samaritan.

Ha! As if they'll be able to hear what's being said. The hero is a foreigner, and the abandoners of the abused man are his own nation...

And get him to stop taking our country's name in vain.

Also, no tariffs on our penguins!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

China Lifts Green Push With Plan to Double Clean Energy by 2035 China will seek to double its supply of non-fossil fuel energy by 2035, in a plan that analysts see as a boost to Beijing’s green targets.

If you are worried that China is beating us, then take a look at this. China is investing heavily in renewable energy. The USA is fighting all forms of green energy.

Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and diversifying our energy sources could help us get ahead.

It could prevent wars over oil.

Perhaps the enablers are feeling the net closing on them, and are quite aware that the Peril will ensure he is the last rat off the ship - after selling all the pardons he can.

Witness breathtaking drone footage capturing the fiery heart of a volcanic eruption. A new era of vulcanology is here, revealing nature's power like never before.

Psalm 50:8 (RSV) "I will accept no bull from your house."

And a propos 1 Cor 15:51, we were at a John Wimber conference (in Canberra, I think), way back (1980's). He spoke about some Vineyard sessions to do with toilet training - and they joked about that as their key verse!

Also- it's not one book. It's at least 66

I wonder if Franklin has trial-read Luke 10 to the Petulant Peril. May even preach the passage to him. (Maybe point out that the hero is the Samaritan, not the robbers who beat up an innocent man.)
But, yeah, sure. Shoeboxes for the kids.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

And an abuser generally. There's a shudder, the times when he says things like "You can be very nice to me. I wouldn't want to be nasty to you, but I can. Very, very nasty. So, just be nice.

They make me shudder anyway.

I WILL ACCEPT NO BULL FROM YOUR HOUSE.

Yikes. First rule of a good campaign, have logistics sorted. Patton had a bloke called Marshall. Logistics sorted. Trump? Hahahahahaha! P'rhap he had a feeling?

And while on the topic; release the (unredacted) Epstein files.

Yes, that's the one. Go for the gold. 25th is OK, but Article 2 is tops.

Seems very wise decision on Mrs Kirk's part. I wouldn't trust Jaydie up close either.

Just mind your own business, Petulant Peril. Keep your eyes on Iran: and Netanyahu.

Releasing ALL of the Epstein Files would stop this madness. I want to see every name. Don't care who's in them.
Just release them now.

Yep. Obviously the best time to er, improve, the functioning of the basement is to get in as workers with the construction Mob.

So, Franklin,
Did you look at the sun, the figures therein, the robes, the aura?

I thought not.

Did you look TO the Son before you posted that?

I thought not.

Corrupt, yes. Deranged, beyond doubt. Remove.

Now, THAT'S a surprise! (As Iago said, in Aladdin)
