Know the Signs!
The American Catholic "News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
"Alcoholism is a dangerous condition affecting millions across the United States each and every year, from the poorest among us to even very powerful government officials. It’s important to know when you have a problem so you can seek the help you need. Here are nine signs to look for when determining if you are an alcoholic:"
- Your sentences often don’t make sense. – If you find yourself saying things like “the significance of the passage of time” or “space connects us all,” you might want to seek help.
- You sometimes wake up in the morning to find you posted embarrassing videos on the internet. – Drunk-posting is a sign your life is out of control.
- You wake up from alcohol-induced blackouts with fragmented memories of having run for president. – If you’re having vague flashes of Beyonce, Lizzo, and Mark Hamill all endorsing you for president and calling you “brat,” you need help.
- You make poor decisions like picking Tim Walz as your VP. – Alcoholism can inhibit our decision-making, and this can affect our lives and careers in negative ways.
- You find yourself drinking during stressful times such as difficult work days, cabinet meetings, and presidential debates. – Being drunk during big career moments is a sign you are a slave to alcohol.
- Your head hurts a lot in the mornings, as though you just fell out of a coconut tree. – If you find yourself saying, “Doug, get the ibuprofen” every morning, take a good, long look in the mirror.
- You drink in unsafe situations such as while you’re in control of a motor vehicle or while you’re in control of an entire country. – Driving a car, or a country, under the influence is illegal and dangerous.

Remember Hillary saying she was part of the "resistance"? Here is that very same group today.
. . .“But I’ll tell you this, those who come here legally, we want to get them jobs. I have 460,000 open jobs in the state of New York. I want them to get the proper work permits. I want them to keep their temporary protective status, if that’s what they have. I want to make sure that they’re part of contributing to society while they’re here.”
"“That’s separate from people who are criminals. Someone breaks the law, I’ll be the first one to call up ICE and say, ‘Get them out of here.'”
"“There is a difference in categories of individuals. I just had a meeting this morning with my team that’s been studying all the scenarios that could play out over the next few months and what we need to do to prepare. We’ll be announcing more about that. And also making sure that our final requests to the Biden administration are secure. And so that’s something else.”
“Again, I’ll do a report on what we’ve achieved in the next couple of weeks.”
"A reporter asked for clarification, “Just to be clear, are you supportive or not supportive of deporting undocumented immigrants whose only crime is either crossing the border or overstaying?”
" 'If they’re here with legal papers, like they came and they were seeking asylum, like this 224,000 people came to New York, they’re here legally in search of asylum, and that process will play out.”
“ 'But there are other people who commit crimes or are known to be criminals before they arrived here. When those are identified, I’ll be the first one to help get rid of them. I don’t want them here. I don’t want anybody terrorizing my citizens. So that’s the difference.' ”

Don’t Let the Left Do to Pete Hegseth What It Did to Brett Kavanaugh
It’s become a familiar story.
"A man is about to reach an upper echelon of public life when an accusation from his past resurfaces.
"Sometimes it’s a bad joke made in a woman’s presence or a rebuffed advance while the man was in a supervisor role.
"Other times it’s far more serious accusations of assault.
"It’s the Brett Kavanaugh show all over again."
Sharon Stone, Alec Baldwin Embody ‘Out-of-Touch Hollywood Elitism’ at Italian Film Festival
Renowned economist and political commentator Thomas Sowell once asked, “Why do actors — people whose main talent is faking emotions — think that their opinions should be directing the course of political events in the real world? Yet it is a mistake that they have been making as far back as John Wilkes Booth.”
"In Turin, Italy, for the Torino Film Festival, actors Sharon Stone and Alec Baldwin showed us precisely why we hate Hollywood. We’ll start with Stone who blamed President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on “Americans who don’t travel, who 80% don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete.”
"The “Basic Instinct” star spoke at a press event on the sidelines of the festival. She was asked to comment on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women which fell on Monday. Stone, who is clearly still reeling from Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss, responded with a tirade about politics and fascism.
"Sounding quite a bit like Jane Fonda, either by design or for no reason at all, Stone began by saying, “We have to stop and think about who we choose for government. And if, in fact, we are actually choosing our government or if the government is choosing itself.”
You know, Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things. You guys, you understand what happens. You have seen this before.
My country is in the midst of adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naïve and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence.
We haven’t seen this before in our country. So Americans who don’t travel, who 80 percent don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete.
What I can say is that the only way that we can help with these issues, is to help each other.…
"Even by Hollywood’s lofty standards, Stone’s comments—delivered with an air of imperiousness—exhibited an astonishing degree of disdain for her fellow Americans. Unsurprisingly, the backlash was swift and intense."
