Well, Friends. I am leaving Twitter tomorrow morning. I am not sure what social media I will be using, but I am getting too much unwanted stuff on this app. Best wishes and blessings to all.
BREAKING: Morgan Stanley is now crediting 'Bidenomics' for an unexpectedly high growth in GDP and an 'economic surge'.
Morgan Stanley now says that they are making a “sizable upward revision” to the US GDP estimates for this year, crediting Biden's 2021 infrastructure bill.
The bank says that they are revising the GDP figures for the first half of this year by nearly 400% from 0.5% growth to 1.9% growth.
They have also raised their GDP outlook for the fourth quarter of this year and next year.
With inflation plunging and the jobs market still hot, I'm curious how one can continue to attack Biden's economic policies when the numbers continue to improve following the COVID mess.
If you thought Reaganomics was good, then how can you claim that Bidenomics is bad?
What am I missing?
In Michigan, I’m always going to fight for students to learn, and teachers to teach, America’s full and true history. I’m grateful to @KamalaHarris for standing up against bigotry.
That is leadership.
Odesa’s main Orthodox cathedral. Established in 1794, destroyed by Stalin in 1936, rebuilt under an independent Ukraine and destroyed again by Putin in 2023. One of several historical parts of central Odesa, a UNESCO world heritage site, hit by Russian missiles strikes today.
@notcapnamerica Saving people in danger, to my knowledge, is never against the Roman Catholic faith, regardless of who the person is or what one thinks of them. So there is no way that acting in such a scene could be “against his faith.” What a wretched way to misuse his faith.
@Jolz_Aust How about your denomination respect your own rules. Your canon law allows for non-Catholics to receive is situations of significant pastoral need. Despite this, I, an ordained Christian priest, could not receive Holy Communion at my own sister’s funeral. Respect goes both ways.

@RabbiHarvey I’m sorry you have encountered so much Christian Supremacy & antisemitism. Christianity is not supposed to be about power & dominance. Sadly, we Christians get this wrong all the time, currently & historically. Arrogance & cruelty towards Jews is not Christ-like & entirely wrong.
@RabbiHarvey in no way needs my support or affirmation. You should listen to what he says because of his knowledge and insight. It is also the case that I, a Christian priest, strongly agree with him on this point based on my studies of this topic.
@Towler@WilliamClouston Oh spare me the cranky old man schtick! The idea that she should wear long sleeves participates in the same tired old sexism which says that women should cover themselves either to make men comfortable or help them avoid temptation. Guess what, her ministry is not all about you.
@TheOldFaith@jenlalonde@StyliteLight @drew_deacon @SpiritUnbounded Famously, Peter Abelard wrote a letter to Heloise’s bishop because the bishop wanted to take away her ordination to the diaconate. If there were no ordained women, why do these letter exist? You all are misinformed or lying when you try to claim that women were never ordained.
@TheOldFaith@jenlalonde@StyliteLight @drew_deacon @SpiritUnbounded People need to learn true history, not all this revisionist crap. When western Christians of the Middle Ages decided to reject married male clergy and female clergy, we actually have letter from bishops complaining about women clergy being part of their dioceses.
