“La mère de Jésus est dans l’émerveillement et le silence de la joie, aux pieds de l’enfant de Noël. Elle est dans le silence du consentement, celui que résume cette phrase e exceptionnelle : «Je suis la servante du Seigneur, qu’il m’advienne selon ta parole»” #LaForceDuSilence pic.twitter.com/pyX7RY2dmF

Okay, I suppose. If you insist:
“The Mother of Jesus is lost in wonder and the silence of joy at the feet of the Child on Christmas. She remains in the silence of consent, the kind that is summed up in this remarkable sentence : «I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word»” pic.twitter.com/NMG3JIJeHu

Garbage take. Alabama could play Iowa 100 times and never lose, much less by 30+ points. Those Big 10 rankings are bogus. Put those teams in the SEC West and watch them fail. https://t.co/rUzgvRgs93

If you wake up in the morning lost in an ominous pit of despair over a tax reform bill, the tax reform bill isn’t the problem

Don’t forget the FCC is voting later this month to kill important rules that keep the internet free and open to all Americans. We must actively work to stop them from ending #NetNeutrality.

I love all these liberal theologians who think the Bible is clear on tax policy, but not on marriage, transgenderism, homosexuality, or abortion.

Maybe if we actually had federalism, we’d all feel less compelled to inflict the worst people from our states on each other.

The president is upset that the case his coalition repeatedly misrepresented was decided based on what happened rather than the false narrative they spread to gin up xenophobia for political advantage. https://t.co/rqb5E6pt94

Baby Boomers: “The Church needs to listen to the young people!”
Young people: “We want tradition, chant, incense, orthodox preaching, & sound doctrine.”
Boomers: “You hear that!? They want guitar masses!”

I would a thousand times rather have dinner with secular liberals of a certain temperament than with a group of religious conservatives who agreed with me about most things, but who have no sense of humor or irony.
