However, sometimes committees work *against* the clear will of the messengers, or ignore the work of another committee (even one appointed by Bart).
And sometimes it takes floor action by messengers to convince an Executive Committee to change its policy.

Stop the “Texas election was stolen” bit. The election will be certified by the Republican Abbott hand picked to be Secretary of State, under the oversight of the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton. There will be no intervention by the U.S. Attorney General appointed by President Trump.
When the dying cult starts drinking the kool-aid, there are two types of 3rd-tier leaders:
1) The ones who drink the kool-aid first.
2) The ones who shoot everyone who won't drink, then try to save their own lives.
Pop quiz: Which one attended/attends a seminary whose founder was a white supremacist slaveholder? 🤔
"Abortion is so back, baby!"
How ironic. That "baby" at the end reminds us how their celebration is really a bloodthirsty threat.

Talarico: "treat politics like a sacrament" 👀
Grade-A CN at first blush.
But stick around for his final comment, which sounds more like Pantheistic Nationalism:
"To me, an incarnational politics would take seriously that idea that every person is God."
Some very preliminary signs that last night's biggest winner might be the actual mission of the Church.
Well-intentioned, but simplistic.
This logic will eventually say we should vote for the candidate who wants unlimited access to abortions, over the one who wants tax $ to pay for them all.
At some point, you should say no to both options. Decide now where to draw your line.
Great to see Senator Gramm still active on public policy, interested in the next generation, sharp as a tack at 84.

I can't trust a political philosophy that says, "Elected officials need to make the will of Christ supreme in society... Also, it's really important to vote for the guy who disregarded the will of Christ in his own marriage."

While decrying the rot in our age's public discourse, CT's editors themselves have slouched toward it.
CT editors (Nov. 6, 1970): “It is always wrong to gossip about things we know to be untrue. This is lying. It is equally wrong to gossip about things of which we are not certain. This is pawning the truth. And it is also wrong to spread damaging information that we know to be true, unless there are compelling reasons for doing so.”

Texas is the fastest team to go from AP #1 to unranked since last season’s Texas team.
It's almost like Jesus knew something.
"If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." ~John 15:19
