But I think few recall the former Notre Dame president’s pivotal role in giving every Catholic politician the ‘spiritual right’ to support abortion in all its ghastly forms. DLH
Article by William Dodd at American Thinker, (excerpt)
“In 1984, Father Hesburgh invited Governor Mario Cuomo of New York to speak at Notre Dame on the difficulties that elected Catholic politicians have in reconciling the obligations of their faith regarding abortion with their obligations to their constituencies.
“On September 13, 1984, Cuomo delivered “Religious Belief and Public Morality: A Catholic Governor’s Perspective” at Notre Dame’s Washington Hall. Some saw the Cuomo speech as an orchestrated Hesburgh-Cuomo rebuttal to comments made by Archbishop John O’Connor, the new archbishop of New York and a staunch defender of unborn life. Earlier in 1984 O’Connor, on a televised news conference, had stated that he did not believe that a Catholic in good conscience could vote for a political candidate who approves of abortion. He further stated that he would not rule out excommunicating Governor Cuomo for his support of abortion rights.
“Cuomo’s speech at Notre Dame stifled the debate. It was a brilliant move, a well staged home run for the abortion cause. With delivery from the platform of one of the Church’s most influential universities and tacit approval by the renowned Father Hesburgh, the speech received extensive media coverage. “Father Ted” likely knew that it would be a watershed event, and it was. In effect, without Church authority, the speech “sanctioned” the Catholic body politic’s relaxation of its opposition to abortion.” . . .
The public response to the passage of the New York RHA from some quarters has been disgust, from others shock and surprise. Surprise? The seed for this horrendous legislation was sown decades ago. We know its lineage. Its grandfather’s name is Mario, and its father’s name is Andrew. It has uncles named John D., Theodore, Barack, and John I. and has countless cousins in the party of Democrats.
Public reception of the RHA has been less than favorable — so much so that the act itself may help bring an end to our country’s deviant reliance on abortion to solve social problems and to celebrations of its enabling laws. Like the laws passed following the Dred Scott decision doubling down on slavery, pro-abortion legislation of the past four decades may someday be found to be the worst ever written in our country’s history.
So has the abortion party now “jumped the shark” with outright advocacy of a right to kill babies even after birth? The grisly logic of what Roe v Wade and Doe V Bolton always entailed — ownership of another human being and the right to kill it for any reason as if it were property (Dred Scott) is maybe becoming more evident. Or can the abortion party continue to depend on obfuscation and indifference and cover-up by the media? We have seen no evidence they won’t be able to depend on their Democrat-first clergymen and bishops in the Roman Catholic Church led by Pope Francis. Think otherwise . . . then where is the outrage from the pulpits and diocesan organs of the Church?

(Never mind President Bush’s) Inauguration Day promise of “Hire American”.
George W. Bush Center Slams Trump’s Plan to Boost Jobs for U.S. Graduates
President George W. Bush’s presidential center and other business groups are denouncing a pending regulation by President Donald Trump that would open tens of thousands of U.S. jobs to young American graduates.
Trump’s reform will hurt “employers that have benefited … for the last few years,” complained Laura Collins, the director of the economic growth program at the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Trump’s pending regulation reportedly would end the policy of giving bonus work permits to wives of foreign workers who have H-1B visas, and would, therefore, shift jobs and salaries from foreign temporary workers to American graduates.
. . .
The federal policy of using legal and illegal migration to boost economic growth shifts enormous wealth from young employees towards older investors by flooding the market with cheap white-collar and blue-collar foreign labor.
That annual inflow of roughly one million legal immigrants — as well as the population of two million visa workers and eight million working illegal immigrants — spikes profits and Wall Street values by shrinking salaries for 150 million blue-collar and white-collar employees, especially the wages earned by the four million young Americans who join the labor force each year.
The federal government’s cheap labor policy widens wealth gaps, reduces high tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans, including many who are now struggling with fentanyl addictions.
Immigration also steers investment and wealth away from towns in Heartland states because coastal investors can more easily hire and supervise the large immigrant populations who prefer to live in coastal cities. In turn, that coastal investment flow drives up coastal real estate prices and pushes poor Americans, including Latinos and blacks, out of prosperous cities such as Berkeley and Oakland.
THE RESPONSE TO THAT ONE IS EASY:“If and when President Trump runs for Speaker of the House, he will release his tax returns. DLH

Pelosi’s Chief of Staff: Speaker Will Release Tax Returns ‘If and When She Runs for President’
(CNSNews.com) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “will gladly release her tax returns if and when she runs for president,” said her Chief of Staff Drew Hammill, apparently indicating that, in Pelosi’s current position as speaker, she will not release her tax returns.

Kim Jong-un Demands Feces Production To Combat Fertilizer Shortage
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is taking drastic measures to save his country’s economy from going down the toilet.
Amid two years of shrinking economic numbers—largely as a result of a fertilizer shortage that has tanked the agricultural sector—the tyrant is finally taking action in the form of a poop quota, according to Radio Free Asia.
Kim Jong-un, who has led his people to believe that he is too elite to need to urinate or defecate himself, is now demanding 220 pounds of feces from his starving citizenry every single day.
The new rule states that citizens who cannot meet the poop quota can supply 660 pounds of livestock manure or compost instead. Given the sheer impossibility of excreting at such a rate, North Koreans have apparently been turning to manure merchants to obtain their supply.
“The manure merchants are doing really well these days, charging 20 yuan (about $3) per 100kg (220 pounds) of human feces or 300kg (660 pounds) of compost,” an anonymous source told Radio Free Asia. “After Kim Jong Un’s [speech], the entire population has been mobilized to produce manure as the first major task of the year.”
The North Korean dictator declared the new quota in a national address last month, just before President Donald Trump announced another upcoming summit with the dictator.
Can you imagine the play this would get if it were a prominent Republican running for president? Fox report, bold our emphasis.
The father of Sen. Kamala Harris is trying to distance himself from the 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful after she said her pot smoking in college stemmed from her Jamaican heritage.
Harris, D-Calif., told the nationally syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club” earlier this month that she supports marijuana legalization at the federal level, and acknowledged that she’s smoked pot in the past, saying: “I have. And I inhaled. I did inhale.”
The senator re-emphasized her use when asked by the hosts about rumors that she opposes marijuana legalization.
“That’s not true. Look, I joke about it, I have joked about it. Half my family is from Jamaica, are you kidding me?” Harris said, laughing.
Harris’ father, Donald, disapproved of the comments, which he told the Jamaica Global Online constituted “identity politics.”
“My dear departed grandmothers … as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,” he said
Donald Harris continued: “Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”
Good for him. Her dad called it right. Kamala however thinks race relations involves stereotyping people and identity politics.
OBVIOUSLY Jussie needed to do something to impress upon people the danger from Trump deplorables. You can’t just let something like this go!! Besides even if the post mark was not from Covington Kentucky YOU KNOW THAT SCHOOL was behind it
Written in crayon and expertly illustrated by carefully drawn stick figures convinced a number of top media figures that the perpetrator was a 9 year old toxically white person, likely living in Covington, KY.
“No wonder it scared the daylights out of poor Jussie”, said Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.
Lovable “Jussie”… he’s definitely a ‘man of letters’ himself. Always preaching “Stop the Hate” . . . ” Stop the Hate”
Lose the flag Jussie

CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW PATHETIC THIS READS?
HOW MANY CHICAGO POLICE SUSPECTS, DO YOU SUPPOSE RECEIVE THIS KIND OF UNDERSTANDING AND KINDNESS ?:
“(Chicago Police Spokesman) Guglielmi told ABC News police do not know where Smollett is, and “his attorneys have not shared where he is at this point.”
“I know this can be difficult emotionally, and we hope he doesn’t do anything terrible. We want to make this as diplomatic as possible. In the end, this is only a class 4 felony. He will get through this and we want to make it as easy as possible for him to do it. But again, it is about accountability,” Guglielmi told ABC News.”
You ‘spose the FBI would have handled it this way, non-violent related charge or not? Somebody check with Roger Stone.
Interesting, too, is the report on Mr. Smollett’s plight in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal (see below). In a 300 word story, the Journal outlines the episode in some detail, omitting, however, a point that we thought rather pertinent to the story…the “attackers shouting “…this is MAGA country…!” DLH

Jussie Smollett attack: Smollett charged with disorderly conduct for filing false police report, prosecutors say
“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett has been charged with one count of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said Wednesday evening.
Smollett is due in court in Chicago at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said CPD detectives will make contact with Smollett’s legal team to “negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest.”
Smollett is not in custody at this time. Guglielmi told ABC News police are not actively looking for the actor because “this is not a violent crime,” but said “the longer this goes, the more we have to do what we have to do.”
Guglielmi told ABC News police do not know where Smollett is, and “his attorneys have not shared where he is at this point.”
“I know this can be difficult emotionally, and we hope he doesn’t do anything terrible. We want to make this as diplomatic as possible. In the end, this is only a class 4 felony. He will get through this and we want to make it as easy as possible for him to do it. But again, it is about accountability,” Guglielmi told ABC News.
Twentieth Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment said they have no comment at this time.
Guglielmi said CPD detectives presented evidence before a Cook County grand jury Wednesday.
Smollett’s attorneys, Todd Pugh and Victor Henderson, released a statement, saying, “Like any other citizen, Mr. Smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, particularly when there has been an investigation like this one where information, both true and false, has been repeatedly leaked. Given these circumstances, we intend to conduct a thorough investigation and to mount an aggressive defense.”
No we are not a fan of such special tax breaks, nor of Amazon, nor of New York but this Branco cartoon does establish the short-on-math skills of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and where she is coming from. It delightfully introduces us to an appropriate agnomen/sobriquet for the privileged congresswoman from the Bronx Yorktown.
Along with corruptions like Occasional Cortex and “Long on name short on brain cells” Che-O-C is a new favorite of ours.
Of course people who ask how she intends to pay for it are shamed as greedy rich and told to shut up
The ignorant yawn of millennials is how and why she is the new Democrat poster child
By the way, word is she was known as Sandy in high school. Is that cultural appropriation? And about her despising capitalism . . .
