Still awaiting flowers, teddy bears, and votive candles.
Pilgrimages led by Doctor Jill Biden to be announced soon.
At Least She didn’t Address Them “Your People.”
Honing patronization to a fine art.
Compounding Doctor Jill’s error, the faux pas occurred at an event patronizingly titled LatinX for IncluXion (isn’t that clever?). If the White House staffer who put this thing together had done even two minutes research, Xe would have learned a great many Latin Americans find the neologism “LatinX” repulsive, just as they would Doctor Jill’s proclaiming the breakfast taco one of the things that makes Hispanics great. We may assume should Doctor Jill ever address an NAACP convention, she’ll credit black Americans’ greatness to ham hocks and chitlins.
Is it any wonder Latin Americans are fleeing the Democrat party in droves?
Catholic Church Torched, Tabernacle Desecrated, Stations of the Cross Torn Down in Bethesda, Maryland.
More “mostly peaceful” demonstrations by the left. Pastor suspects abortion activists.
Nothing new, here: vandalizing Catholic churches was a routine tactic of intimidation by the all-Democrat Klu Klux Klan in its campaign against mongrel races, including Catholics.
Democrats today might issue half-hearted condemnations and rationalizations of acts like these, as well disavow past connections with the Klan. Perhaps so, but should the perpetrators be caught, they ought to be polled their party affiliation. When it is inevitably determined there is not a single Republican among them, Democrat party leaders should then be asked why that is so.
Shockingly, a Few Years Ago this was Considered Unnecessary.
The Church of England plumbs new depths, but diving will continue until it hits bottom or attendance hits zero, whichever comes first.
In a written reply to a question submitted to General Synod, a senior Bishop said that although the meaning of the word woman was previously “thought to be self-evident”, “additional care” was now needed.
The question was posed as institutions grapple with the ongoing debate surrounding trans rights and what defines “a woman”.

Those few remaining faithful in the C of E must await with bated breath the outcome of such a vital and critical soteriological debate.
–With thanks to William Tighe.
UPDATE: The C of E’s Eldest Daughter (sort of), The Episcopal Church, follows suit in spectacular fashion at its 80th General Convention. Why, the C of E may find in its race to the bottom ECUSA is already there to greet them. Those Americans! Always having to be bigger and better in everything.
A mere soupçon of what the Episcopalians just served up:
Resolved, that the 80th General Convention understands that the protection of religious liberty extends to all Episcopalians who may need or desire to access, to utilize, to aid others in the procurement of, or to offer abortion services.
And your Tatler’s favorite:
The Episcopal House of Deputies condemns Crisis Pregnancy Centers.
Resolved, the House of Bishops concurring, That the 80th General Convention denounces the work of Crisis Pregnancy Centers, also known as Pregnancy Resource Centers.
The Deity, if there is one, forbid those people, all NOKD, to encourage others of their kind to produce even more of them. None will ever become Episcopalians, so can we please just get rid of ’em?
Noted with Satisfaction: “Who’d have ever guessed that a scheming mediocrity with zero executive experience would be so bad at this job?”
Oh Dear, Engrish Can Get You into Trouble.
Note the “finishes” specification.
D’ye suppose our Chinese friends meant dull? Or perhaps matte? The Free Dictionary provides a clue.
[French, curdled milk, matte, from feminine of obsolete mat, compact, from Old French, dull, from Latin mattus, stupefied; see mat2.]
This Should Keep the Lawyers Busy.
Twitter’s chairman to Musk: See you in court.
As a young attorney friend said to your Tatler years ago: “Billable hours are sweeter than flowers.”
Quarterly returns of these partnerships should prove most impressive and provide years and years of nice steady income.
Two Can Play This Game.
Waaaa! Twump shthowe our shwogan!
The excellent blogger at For What It’s Worth reports wailing and gnashing of the teeth at National Public Radio over the loss of the classic feminist marching cry, “My body, My Choice.” Apparently it was appropriated (a leftie euphemism for “stealing,” but only when they’re doing it) by protestors opposed to mandatory vaccination, most of whom happen to be Trump supporters.
The delicious irony of this is when the COVID vaccines were first introduced in 2020, when Trump was still president, the left was generally opposed to taking them–because Trump, of course. Later, when Sleepy Joe assumed office, the left changed its mind about vaccines when realizing they could be politicized by making them mandatory. As the saying goes, attributed to many, “liberals don’t care what you do as long as it’s compulsory.”
Meanwhile, “My Body, My Choice,” lying fallow at the time, was taken up by opponents of mandatory vaccination, an action apparently only discovered, and to their dismay, by militant feminists during the current brouhaha over the Supreme Court’s cashiering of Roe v. Wade.
So now, if you please, it’s “Reproductive Justice,” which does the job we suppose, but doesn’t quite trip off the tongue like “My Body My Choice,” does it? Too bad, infanticidists, you should have copyrighted it.
Satan Holds a Press Conference.
He promises a comeback, a promise we may be sure will be kept.
Despite a crushing defeat recently over Roe v. Wade, Satan accepts the loss gracefully and credits his team for a fantastic effort. He singles out for special praise team members Nancy Pelosi, Planned Parenthood and Moloch.
With thanks to GWR.
With Disaster Staring Them in the Face (as it were) this Fall, Democrats Finally Field a Serious Candidate.
At least she has an Ivy League diploma (sort of–from Brown), which she is happy to tell you about when asked or not asked.
The woman smiling at you above is Ms Tiara Mack and she is running for Rhode Island State Senate, District 10. As a representative in the Rhode Island House, she has sponsored a sex education bill which
“shall be appropriate for students of all races, genders, sexual orientations, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and shall affirmatively recognize pleasure based sexual relations, different sexual orientations and be inclusive of same-sex relationships in discussions and examples. In addition, comprehensive course instruction shall include gender, gender expression, gender identity, and the harm of negative gender stereotypes.”
So far the bill has gone nowhere, but give it time; Rhode Island is as looney left as neighboring Massachusetts and Connecticut. Pay attention therefore to Ms Mack (in verbal media, if you prefer) for she is going places, certainly at least to Rhode Island’s Senate, as she is running unopposed.
THE TAOS TATLER.
