Deplorable Like Me
Some days, the clouds part, the light pours down from Heaven, and the angels sing. These days occur only rarely, and arrive unbidden, unexpected, and OS receives each one with renewed gratitude.
Such has been this weekend, when Miss Hillary announced that she considers OS, and millions like him, deplorable.
It's flattering, really, to think that Herself took the time and energy to deliver such a compliment. Just to be reassured that OS's lifelong embrace of faith, tradition, family, heterosexual normalcy, monogamous marriage between one man and one woman, capitalism, literacy, the rule of law under the Constitution, the use of English for the conducting of the business of the culture, religious tolerance, defined borders and sane immigration policy...the list extends on and on...is the peculiar target of her disdain. It's reassuring to have someone of The Great And Good lend her endorsement.
Let's not forget that detail about the need to point out, gently of course, that Islam and Christianity make diametrically opposed claims about the ultimate nature of deity. They can't both be correct.
And OS has yet to see a Methodist walk into a nightclub, theatre, bar, coffee shop or church and murder multitudes of innocents for the cause of John Wesley.
She finds these beliefs, and those who espouse them--deplorable.
OS gladly accepts the label, pleads guilty as charged, considering the source of the accusation.
Now on to November, and the opportunity to respond at the ballot box to Herself, and all her minions, from local dog-catcher to Senator. As one of her comrades-in-arms has declared, "Never let an opportunity go to waste.'
OS agrees. Now THAT truly would be ...deplorable.

Trump is finding his voice, and has found some good speechwriters.
Here is hoping he stays on point.

Jesse Shares Comforting Words of John Henry Newman
As always, Jesse speaks cogently to a confusing time.
"God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission -- I may never know it in this life but I shall be told it in the next.
I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught.
I shall do good, I shall do His work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments.
Therefore I will trust Him. Whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him.
He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about.
He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me -- still He knows what He is about.
We are slow to master the great truth that even now Christ is, as it were, walking among us, and by His hand, or eye, or voice, bidding us to follow Him. We do not understand that His call is a thing that takes place now. We think it took place in the Apostles' days, but we do not believe in it; we do not look for it in our own case.
Let us feel what we really are--sinners attempting great things. Let us simply obey God's will, whatever may come. He can turn all things to our eternal good. Easter day is preceded by the forty days of Lent, to show us that they only who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
The more we do, the more shall we trust in Christ; and that surely is no morose doctrine, that leads us to soothe our selfish restlessness, and forget our fears, in the vision of the Incarnate Son of God.
May the Lord support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done.
Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.”
John Henry Newman

Historic Milestones for Hillary Clinton 26 July 2016, Goal Achieved and Bodies Left In Her Wake
Well, ya'll, Miss Hillary has gone and dunnit. She shattered that Glass Ceiling, leaving a trail of ruined careers, outright lies, scandals and chaos in her wake. A typical Clinton day at the office. Folks often joke amongst themselves about ambitious types who 'leave a trail of bodies' in their wake.
However, when it comes to the Clintons, it's not a joke. There is a literal trail of bodies, over 3,000 this year alone, left in the wake of Miss Hillary's and Massah Obama's Adventures in Overthrow in Libya and Syria.
Here's the quote, in case the link goes away:
'
More than 3,000 migrants and refugees have died while trying to cross the Mediterranean this year, while nearly 250,000 have made the journey to Europe, the International Organisation for Migration has said.
The new toll was reached following the discovery of 39 bodies washed up on the coast of Libya, bringing the current number of casualties among people attempting to cross the Mediterranean to 3,034 so far in 2016, the organisation said on Tuesday.
The IOM said the 2016 death toll among refugees and migrants trying to reach Europe was "significantly higher compared to last year as of end of July 2015 when 1,917 had lost their lives at sea".
Last time OS checked, the IOM was not a part of the 'Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy' the Clintons trot out when uncomfortable torrents of facts disturb The Narrative...
Oh joy, just imagine what the world looks like when Miss Hillary is Commander in Chief. With Bill as her First Spousal Unit (so many interns, so little time...), and all the Obama hangers-on hanging on.
It's great to be Hillary. It sucks to be Libyan.

Marathon Pundit: Chiraq: 2 teens shot, 1 fatally, in drive-by 1/2 m...
Marathon Pundit: Chiraq: 2 teens shot, 1 fatally, in drive-by 1/2 m...: Obama mansion in 2008 President Obama and his family won't be returning to Chicago after his term expires for at least a year.
This latest shooting, which claimed the life of one (presumably black) teenager, and wounded another, occurred about one-half mile from the Chicago home of The Wan, the Winner Of The Nobel Peace Prize, The Community Organizer In Chief, our very own Prezzzzzident Obama.
One would think Himself would be eager to return home, to spread his classic magic of peace and love back in his own 'hood, no? After all, since draconian gun laws, like those in Chicago, ensure the safety of the streets, Himself would ergo be residing in the safest of neighborhoods.
