The Vatican-vetted article, published in the Rome-based Jesuit publication La Civiltà Cattolica, calls out “evangelical fundamentalists” and explicitly mentions President Donald Trump, who identifies as a Presbyterian, and his adviser Steve Bannon, who identifies as Catholic.Pope's Confidantes Pen Blistering Critique Of Steve Bannon's View of Christianity | HuffPost Remarkable stuff..

We need to take them out. They are too stupid.” He had referred to these unnamed “Muslim friends” earlier in his speech: “friendly Muslims — Muslim friends, yes, I do have them from around the world.”Congressman claims ‘radical Islamists’ plan on using transgender U.S. troops as a recruiting tool RE: Interesting July 2017 - Admin - 07-16-2017 Quote:The White House just responded to concerns it would release voters’ sensitive personal information by releasing a bunch of voters’ sensitive personal information. Last month, the White House’s “election integrity” commission sent out requests to every state asking for all voters’ names, party IDs, addresses, and even the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, among other information. The White House then said this information would be made available to the public.The White House just posted the emails of critics — without censoring sensitive personal information - Vox RE: Interesting July 2017 - Admin - 07-17-2017 Deltagate seems much ado about nothing.. Quote:On Saturday, political commentator Ann Coulter launched into an epic multiday Twitter tirade after accusing Delta Air Lines of giving away her seat on a flight that day. In her tweetstorm, Coulter said Delta gave away an extended-legroom economy-class seat, for which she paid $30, to another passenger. (Delta has said it will refund the $30 Coulter spent on her seat upgrade.) This event led Coulter to call Delta the "worst airline in America" followed by pictures of her seatmates and a Delta flight attendant in an attempt to publicly shame them. In other tweets, Coulter complained about everything from the airline's Wi-Fi service to the time she spent carefully selecting her seat. At one point, the political commentator went as far as comparing Delta's staff to the Stasi, East Germany's secret police, and even threatened to call CEO Ed Bastian.Delta strikes back with facts after Ann Coulter goes on Twitter tirade - Business Insider Check the story about the full magnitude of Coulter's rants, pretty amazing..

Quote:Seattle's rich should engage in upper-class "civil disobedience" and refuse to pay their city taxes, Washington state's Republican leaders said. After the city of Seattle passed a new income tax on households earning more than $500,000, the Washington State Republican Party called for taxpayers to "forcefully resist" the tax by refusing pay, file or comply with it. "It deserves nothing less than civil disobedience," the state GOP said in a statement.Rich shouldn't pay their taxes, Washington state GOP says RE: Interesting July 2017 - Admin - 07-26-2017 Never really the smartest guy in the room.. Quote:Secretary of Energy Rick Perry conducted a fake phone call with two Russian pranksters, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. Perry believed he was speaking with the Ukrainian prime minister, but was actually talking to Alexei Stolyarov and Vladimir Kuznetsov, or the “Jerky Boys of Russia.” The Energy department confirmed to the news outlet that the call occurred. “Secretary Perry is the latest target of two Russian pranksters," Shaylyn Hynes, a spokeswoman for the Energy Department, told Bloomberg in an email. "These individuals are known for pranking high-level officials and celebrities, particularly those who are supportive of an agenda that is not in line with their governments. In this case, the energy security of Ukraine.” The two pranksters reportedly presented a new fuel created from manure and alcohol to Perry during the phone call.Perry conducts fake interview with Russian pranksters | TheHill |
