Was going to mention…in one of the most Christian big cities in the US a few churches have set up ‘drive thru’ stations for receiving ashes. As many agencies and businesses are closed on Shrove Monday and Sin Tuesday, being off for long services or lines in church is a no-go with a lot of bosses. The hierarchy of each church involved have…to use and expression…blessed the practice as it’s the receipt of the ashes that’s important and not the location.
Local news is treating the practice as a circus, trying to make it look as if there’s something perfunctory and comical about it. They don’t come right out and attack it, just the way they present the activity. Part of their anti-religion agenda, problem with religious-based violence is religion – no religion, no violence.
I slso note that you do not see any on-camera news persons with ashes any more.

Thing is, you got folks who want to receive ashes but their work – for whatever reason(s) – precludes that. We had flex time so folks could use thst to quickly scoot thru but some folks who had set schedules as they manned a phone could use their lunch time to drive through. I thought it a smart move by tne churches.

Ben Franklin noted in one of his autobiographies that no Jews would work on Saturday, and no Christians would work on Sunday, so the entire week-end was worthless for conducting business.
And that is why we have week-ends off. Not because it was given, but because it was taken.
The same was true of Christmas and Easter vacation.
But we have lost all that, because we don’t take it.
Few businesses close on Sunday, and it’s now called year end shutdown and spring break, and spring break doesn’t necessarily coincide with Easter.
Now Catholics are surrendering Ash Wednesday.

Ash Wednesday is not a day of obligation in the Church. To my knowledge it has never been, although most practicing Catholics make a serious effort to go get those ashes! For some reason it never feels the same to me if I start Lent without going to mass on Ash Wednesday.

1634: The first tavern in Boston opens (Samuel Cole)
1812: US passes first foreign aid legislation, for victims of a Venezuelan earthquake
1815: US declares war on Algiers for taking prisoners and demanding tribute.
1842: Massachusetts restricts factory workers under the age of twelve to a ten-hour workday, a forward looking but an unenforceable law.
1845: Florida is admitted to the Union as the twenty-seventh state
1855: At the suggestion of Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, Congress appropriates $30,000 to import Egyptian camels for service in the Southwest. Davis’ plan is to fight Indians by mounting howitzers on the camels’ humps, but the project fails for lack of experienced camelteers.
1873: US Congress & government retroactively raise their own salaries
1871: The Indian Appropriation Act nullifies all treaties with the tribes and makes Indians wards of the federal government.
1931: “Star Spangled Banner” officially becomes US national anthem by congressional resolution

Obama wasn’t allowed to do that by ValJar and his other handlers. Because Obama was never in charge of even his own life. Sad!

A couple of things. First, did ValJar prevent him, or did O simply not do it? On Twitter President Trump is instantly connected with people who voted for him or want to know what he’s doing, etc. Did O’s handler’s prevent him, or did O not opt to do it because he was better then the “little people”?
Second, i don’t think he’s depressed. he may be, but I’m leaning towards him being angry. The problem with him being angry is that there’s no telling what he might do because of it.

Barack was a marionette, his whole life, up to and including his two terms.
Of his own volition, he was only ever allowed to golf, to vacation, and to play “Brewster’s Trillions” Every other thing he did or said in 8 years, except off-mic, he was told to do or say. Every other place he went, he was told to do so. Unless it was another round of golf, or another spendy vacay, or another attempt at emulating Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.

Thoughts on Associated Press ‘fact checking’
http://romesentinel.com/editorials/thoughts-on-associated-press-fact-checking/QBqqca!uZXIZZVbEhz486oZxKAuRw/
Examples:
The Associated Press in a self-described “fact check” examined President Donald Trump’s claims from his Congressional address.
The Associated Press would serve readers better if it stopped ankle-biting and, instead, refined readers’ understanding of key problems faced by our country. [Hint: even the New York Times, no friend to Trump, supported the accuracy of most of Trump’s claims.]
TRUMP: “According to the National Academy of Sciences, our current immigration system costs America’s taxpayers many billions of dollars a year.”
AP “FACTS”: That’s not exactly what that report says. It says immigrants “contribute to government finances by paying taxes and add expenditures by consuming public services.” — But Trump says exactly what the report says about first generation immigrants.
TRUMP: “We’ve saved taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars by bringing down the price” of the F-35 jet fighter.
AP “FACTS”: The cost savings he persists in bragging about were secured in full or large part before he became president. — But after Trump had been elected and tweeted about overruns
TRUMP: “Since my election, [many companies] have announced that they will invest billions of dollars in the United States and will create tens of thousands of new American jobs.”
AP “FACTS”: Trump is taking credit for corporate jobs decisions that largely predate his election. — But, the announcements were made after Trump’s election.
AP “FACTS”: The best measure of whether more jobs are actually being created is the monthly employment report issued by the Labor Department . . . on March 10. — But that is different than what Trump claimed.

Trump is using rhetoric, and, as usual, the AP assumes he is using dialectic.
It’s almost an axiom at this point.
The Left assumes the right is using dialectic. They don’t take Trump, or any real conservative seriously, but they take every single line literally. We, on the other hand, take Trump seriously, but we DON’T take every single line literally, because we understand the difference between rhetoric and dialectic.
The same people, the same Progs, do the same thing with the Bible, and despite the fact that we’re not killing witches, assume that we take every line therein literally, too.

It’s hard to believe that such stupid, stupid people can be so devious.
LikeLike
As long as they have a self-selected, listening, and believing audience the levels of their stupidity and deviousness are side issues.
Successful lawbreakers can be highly successful in their chosen profession. Stupid and devious people can be highly successful in attaining their goals. The reason our nation is on the ropes is because the success rate of lawbreaking, stupid, and devious people has, for decades, be minimized by those who saw through.
Saying what is so (on the part of observers) does not inherently shed much light on the impact of those who are skilled in lying. They have an audience: they have a very large, self-selected audience.
Particularly in the wake of this election there seems to be a tendency on the part of long-frustrated Americans to go to yahooing as in, “We’ve got them on the run! Yea! Take THAT! And THAT!……” The name calling and recommendation of public shootings without due process of law is now coming from so-called conservative commenters who are present on any number of familiar blogs.
I do not find it difficult at all to believe that stupid and devious people are successful. Believe your ‘lying eyes’, Wooly. Just believe your lying eyes. Stop looking for alternative explanations to their decades of success in persuasion and implementation – they are very, very good at what they do. They have both a domestic and international audience approving of and financing what they do. They do not experience much uncertainty.
For one thing, the AP knows full well that their selected audience couldn’t care less about the difference between dialectic and rhetoric – the fact that they don’t is very useful to AP, and will continue to be in the future. The lack of internal thought processes, cause and effect, etc., on the part of most of our citizens will continue be a very useful thing to “the stupid deceivers.” As long as they get their way and retain their influence, they don’t care if they are called names.
I have never assumed that just because Trump was elected, the ship of state would inevitably be righted. The domestic enemy is deeply invested, infesting every part of our national infrastructure, public and private.

The name calling and recommendation of public shootings without due process of law is now coming from so-called conservative commenters who are present on any number of familiar blogs. I haven’t seen much of that in my internet travels.
Stella’s Place is my self-selected audience. And I’m IN the audience. We’re just allowed to shout stuff out to the players whenever!
I agree with every other thing in your comment, which doesn’t surprise me.

The thing is – Trump had the facts correct. The AP didn’t. In these examples we could take every line seriously.

Just gotta say Stella, how much I love the frog pictures this week. I think Wednesday’s pair with bug eyes is my fav. This little guy today…I have to wonder what survival benefit is conferred by the tiger-stripe colors. Perhaps it makes him look poisonous to predators? Can’t be camo…

I never in my entire life thought I would see Establishment Democrats accusing their opponents of “speaking with Russians” and implying that it’s a bad thing to do so.
Never. Wow. Maybe Republicans and Democrats “switched sides” again! You know, like they did, and everyone in college knows, in the 1960s, when Democrats became good people and Republicans magically all became racists! Now Republicans are in cahoots with The Russians! They switched sides! Again! Nope. nope. and nope.
People don’t change. The narrative does, on a whim.

Sometimes I think the Left hates Russia now because Russia switched sides.
Russia is a nationalist government. It puts Russian people first.
Since Beslan, their government has said NO to Islam and invasion.
Russia has embraced orthodox Christianity again.
You can see why the Left, created by the USSR, hates Russia now.

Russia is as diverse as it wants to be.
And Russia has that choice, that national self-determination.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen
