On Laughter & Nods

 These are the two from Powerline's The Week in Pictures Frauds All the Way Down Edition, that prompted a smile and a nod of recognition and awareness regarding the way things were and are:

On Court Gesturing & Crisis Clowning

 

On The Burglar & The Puppeteers

 

On Turned & Loose Screws

 

On Whata You In For & How Much You Got?

 

On Trophies & Broomsticks

 

On Going Down & Dropping Anchor

 

On Clowns to the Left & Party Boats

 

On Magical Moments & Monkey Business

 

On Either/Or Clashes & Con Jobs

 

With this to go along with that, from a post by Cynical Publius on X: 

"Well it looks like the Pope’s interference in American politics is still top of the news cycle, so I want to repeat something.

The Democrat/Media Complex deliberately set this up so faithful Catholics would be forced to choose: Trump or your faith?

That’s a false dichotomy.  The Pope is speaking on politics, offering his opinion only and he is not speaking ex cathedra.  

You are not obligated to agree with the Pope in these matters where he speaks as an ordinary human.

If you are a Catholic, you can still support Trump, and disagree with what the Pope is saying about the Iran War and American politics, and still remain true to your Catholic faith.

Please do not fall for the either/or con job."
