The big thieves hang the little ones--Czech proverb
Dinner at Lidia's with the Clarksons and the McGraws. The meal was good. While I think Trump a 'no philosophy zone,' Clarkson thinks he has a real vision and plan; he thinks his tariffs, for example, are not protectionist but methods to change government philosophies, like embargoes. He described Trump as "Psychologically bulletproof!"From Maureen Dowd's column, the very thing we were saying last night: "The progressives are the modern Puritans. The Massachusetts Bay Colony is alive and well on the Potomac and Twitter." Beeldenstorm.
Attorney General William Barr has ordered that the federal death penalty be reinstated; the last execution in the federal system came in 2003.
The Pirates are picked as having a 5% chance of the Playoffs. But they are ahead of 10 others.
E-cigarettes allow users to ingest more nicotine than they would using traditional cigarettes. Addiction treatment specialists say that some teenagers who use e-cigarettes show signs of nicotine toxicity and respiratory problems. Doctors note that teenagers use e-cigarettes at faster rates than traditional cigarettes, and experts worry they make teenagers more vulnerable to other kinds of substance abuse.
Three large asteroids buzzed planet Earth on Wednesday, one coming even closer to us than the moon. That one, called 2019 OD, is 393 feet across at its widest, and it zoomed by at 42,926 miles per hour. None of the three was considered a threat, per NASA.
"... libertarian radicalism sought to carefully establish the rules of permissible conduct in such a way as to allow the competitive forces of the free market to do their progressive work. The evolution of the economy would be driven by the principles of natural law. Social progress was to be the indirect consequence of the competitive engagement of human minds with one another, not the direct result of the conscious planning of any single organization of minds. It was to be a society where no person was to coercively rule over another but where each one was to be persuasively influenced by others."--Lavoie
Paris hit 108.6 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday, the hottest temperature ever recorded there, breaking a record of 104.7 degrees set in 1947. Record highs were also set in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing to African Americans citizenship and all its privileges, was officially adopted into the U.S. Constitution.
Paternoster
In today's gospel, Christ teaches the apostles how to pray, specifically The Paternoster, The Our Father. God as a "Father" was a significant change in the personification of God who was usually described as a destroyer, fire and flood. Here the revolution is complete with God answering sincerity and persistence.

Church of the Pater Noster, Jerusalem
Ancient documents speak of a cave on the Mt. of Olives near the outskirts of Jerusalem that is associated with the teachings of Jesus.
In the early fourth century, St. Helen visited the Holy Land, and, with the help of the local community, identified this cave as an important place where Jesus gathered his followers. She led the building of a large church here; its sanctuary covered this cave.
Persians destroyed the church in 614, but the location was remembered as the place where Jesus taught the Our Father to his followers. Crusaders built a place of prayer here in 1106, and records from that time indicate that the oratory displayed inscriptions of the Lord’s Prayer in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
In 1872, a Carmelite monastery was built here that preserved and restored the foundations of Helen’s church. The image above shows those open walls and a doorway. Today, the site displays in tile wall hangings the Our Father prayer in more than 100 languages, such as Tagalog, Aramaic, Lakota Sioux, and Hebrew.
