The master was known to cultivate a loose attachment to the truth. After all, it was important that he be believed, not because he told the truth, but because he was the master. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

From an early age the master had been gifted with knowledge of all the best words. In time he learned how to assemble them into sentences and even paragraphs. And, if he needed to give a speech or write a book, he knew how to hire the best authors. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The master boasted of many difficult-to-confirm honors—such as Master of the Year in the new US state of Michigan, that his volume of limericks was shortlisted for the Pushkin Award, or that he held a record for eating the most hard boiled eggs in a sitting. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Today the master proclaimed that chestnuts were the enemy of mankind. Tomorrow it might be rubber balls. One of the advantages of being master was that whatever displeased him must also displease everyone else on the estate. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

No date set for that yet. What was announced was the approval of a second miracle that will pave the way to his canonization. The decree has not yet been officially approved but will presumably follow.

With news that the way has been cleared for the canonization of Charles de Foucauld, I thought back to the book that #DorothyDay gave me 40 yrs ago on the occasion of my being received in the Catholic Church in the chapel of the Little Brothers. Inside, an inscribed photo.

A miracle has been credited to Charles to Foucauld, clearing the way to his canonization. Here is an article I wrote for his beatification. Evangelism of Presence americamagazine.org/issue/55…

The master had his overseer conduct a survey of the peasants to asses their enthusiasm for his leadership and life on the estate. The results were middling, but special bonus points were awarded to those who marked the box for “Greatest Master Ever.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump
Joe Biden’s handling of the H1N1 Swine Flu was a complete and total disaster. Even polls on the matter were terrible!

If you ever wondered what inspired Marx and Engels to write The Communist Manifesto.

Here is a new GOP survey which calls for revenge against Trumps’s enemies (and the American way of life).

As the papers rarely published the master’s letters none but his servants benefited from his thoughts on rogue prosecutors, corpulent celebrities, and his own greatness. Some day an invention would allow him to share his unfiltered thoughts with the world. #TolstoysTalesofTrump.
A lot of interest in this story about Psycho Joe Scarborough. So a young marathon runner just happened to faint in his office, hit her head on his desk, & die? I would think there is a lot more to this story than that? An affair? What about the so-called investigator? Read story!

5th anniversary of Pope Francis' "Laudato Si'," a visionary encyclical that attuned Catholic social teaching to the crisis facing our common home. Now in an election year, is there any sign that US Catholic bishops believe this teaching should inform or guide Catholic voters?
