With the confirmation hearing for Coney Barrett, the GOP has tried to claim the Democrats are making an issue of her Catholic faith.
But the Democrats have nominated Catholics to run for President: Al Smith, JFK, John Kerry, and Biden.
Of course, the GOP has nominated Catholics for the White House, too. Like… Um…
Well maybe they can pick one for 2024.

Serena may have lost to Simona Halep in yesterday’s Wimbledon Singles final, but she’s probably the best female tennis player at the moment.
Yet a you.gov survey in Great Britain found one in eight men think they could take a point from Serena.
The only way I could take a point from Serena would be if she double faulted.

If you’re wondering if Law & Order: SVU will do an episode about the Jeffrey Epstein case, they did it back in 2011.
That said, the episode didn’t include any mention of the sweetheart deal Epstein got from then federal prosecutor Alex Acosta, so don’t be surprised if the writers are pounding that episode out now.
I helped my son move this weekend. After it was over, I did the online check-in for a returned U-haul truck. The last requirement is to send U-haul a picture of the truck to show I had left it off at the right place.
Good thing I bought the extra insurance.
I posted this to Facebook the other day.

I found a copy of a letter from my Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather, Jedidiah Smirk, who served in the Revolutionary War under General Washington.
My dearest Martha,
The war has been especially difficult so far. The Redcoats fight fiercely, but General Washington is a clever man, and we’ve eluded capture by General Howe, even as the British secured a foothold in Brooklyn.
Yesterday our men were able to capture LaGuardia. It was a terrible battle, but the redcoats were hindered. Because of delays at TSA checkpoints, the British were unable to bring in reserves as we broke the main redcoat line near baggage claim in terminal “D.”
I’m sure this isn’t the last of it. Washington wants to hold the airport, but even if the British drive us off, the good general has a network of spies from among the Hare Krishnas who populate the main concourse.
Kiss the children for me.
Your loving husband,
Jed.
After talking about capturing airports, he refers to the rockets red glare at Fort McHenry and the Star Spangled Banner.
Sorry, but that was the War of 1812.
