I wish to remind all the faithful of the Diocese of Palm Beach that the Catholic Church does not endorse or support any political candidate or political party. The Catholic Church remains a nonpartisan community of faith, whose sacred mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in full communion with our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, and the College of Bishops. While the Church upholds its responsibility to proclaim moral principles and promote the dignity of every human person, it does not engage in partisan political activity. Any action or statement by a member of the Church that may be perceived as an endorsement of a political candidate or party must not be construed as representing the official position of the Catholic Church or the Diocese of Palm Beach. Such actions, when undertaken in the name of the Church, even in the form of “prayers” or “blessings”, are contrary to its nonpartisan mission and should be regarded solely as expressions of individual political preference.

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV. thelettersfromleo.com/p/heri…

COTA is planning to build a second, smaller race track nearby to accommodate smaller events (such as car club visits and track days) in the near future. Story on that, plus the new clubhouse and gondolas you've seen this weekend, for @TheAthletic ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/7721839…

Even before Rick Jackson disrupted Georgia’s political landscape by announcing his surprise candidacy for governor, he was best known by the shorthand “healthcare executive.” But that description of the billionaire barely scratches the surface. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/her…

So about the egret… we were at ~9,500 in the eye and the pilot spots this egret. It’s not so close we are gonna hit it but it does go right in front of us at a slightly lower altitude. I’m busy with the radar and don’t have time to grab my camera but I did have the GoPro Max going. It’s not great footage but you can see the white speck going from right to left. I tell the weather officer he has gotta put it in the VDM for reasons… sure enough ten minutes later there are posts about it here on X.

Flying from Mississippi to Hawaii yesterday it was mostly clear until we got about 300 miles out from the islands. Scattered clouds became a layer at 22k feet that we skimmed across the top of. Checking satellite imagery it turned out to be an extended band from Hurricane Nolo. After crossing through that there were just smaller puffy clouds that looked interesting as we landed as the sun was setting in Kauai. Time lapse below:

Surprise, surprise: The man running to be “Trump’s favorite governor” refuses to stand up against the president’s harmful policies. Slick Rick will always bend the knee to Trump — no matter how much his policies hurt Georgians. #gapol
"I am not going to be blaming the federal government for everything," Jackson said of the impacts of the Iran War and tariffs on Georgia's ag industry. "I can't control what the federal government does, but what I can do is control whatever we can to make it better." #gapol
