I have been surprised by the viral response this image has provoked. Some thought it was addressing Trump's border wall. Among those who correctly identified the West Bank Border Wall there were especially heated reactions, many from Israeli Jews.

To try to impeach a leader who restored the economy to its greatest heights, who made the trains run on time, who extended the nation’s influence in Libya and Ethiopia, and restored the ancient glory of Rome, and most importantly has done NOTHING wrong is Poliitical Madness!
To Impeach a President who has proven through results, including producing perhaps the strongest economy in our country’s history, to have one of the most successful presidencies ever, and most importantly, who has done NOTHING wrong, is sheer Political Madness! #2020Election

Blessings on the memory of Sister Mary Christine Athans, who died on December 7. Her book, "In Quest of the Jewish Mary," is a treasure. @OrbisBooks

Feast of St Juan Diego: on Dec 9 1531, on his way to Mass, he encountered a young Indian maiden who identified herself as the Mother of God and instructed him to tell the bishop to build a church on that spot, site of an ancient shrine to the mother goddess.

The bishop ignored him until Juan opened his cape—in which he had gathered roses—only to reveal an image of the Lady, with dark skin, Indian features, and symbols resonant with indigenous culture. So was born the cult of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

In reply to a gospel imposed through Conquest, the church was called to conversion by means of a humble Indian. Called to serve not as the religious arm of colonial oppression but to take root in the poor and become a vehicle for their cultural and spiritual survival.

While the master’s estate was one of the first to install indoor water closets, the lack of running water meant additional work for the servants. The master promised to look very strongly into this. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
"We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers, and other elements of bathrooms," Trump says.
