Another slip-up in the Vatican.

Oops. From the Tablet: ROME (CNS) — A “breakdown in communication” led to permission being given to a group of Anglican clergy to celebrate the Eucharist in Rome’s Basilica of St. John Lateran, said Auxiliary Bishop Guerino Di Tora of Rome, vicar for the basilica’s chapter.

Aw, c’mon, she crossed the finish line first, didn’t she?

Mere quibbling, if you ask me.. Top ultra-marathon runner Joasia Zakrzewski has been disqualified from a recent race after using a car to travel during a portion of the route.

No longer hiding it.

Why bother? The progressives have progressed so far in their usurpation of the Federal Government these past few years there is no need anymore for them to even superficially pretend even handedness in their one-sided administration of “justice.” Nowadays, when a humanoid such as the one described below commits an unspeakable act, the only penaltyContinue reading “No longer hiding it.”

The emergence of a secret police.

A corrupt and out of control federal agency. Your Tatler happened to watch a superb performance from 2018 of Puccini’s Tosca last night, via the Metropolitan Opera’s Met on Demand.
