“Atomic Blonde” may not have a totally coherent plot at its core, but the movie is basically entertaining.

Based on a graphic novel entitled “The Coldest City”, the film wants to be a cult classic, an effort that fails. Instead it offers a kickass MI-6 spy named Lorraine Broughton, played by Charlize Theron, who gets to wear great outfits, smoke like a chimney, and take down a lot of bad guys.

The framework of the film is Lorraine, reporting to her “superiors” (played by Toby Jones, John Goodman and James Faulkner) the story of what went wrong.

I would like to commend the county council for tabling the resolution on determining the Sheriff’s responsibilities.

While I don’t mind having a Sheriff, I don’t think he should have any policing powers. It doesn’t make any sense to transfer any policing powers from a professional police force to a patronage politician. If you want to see what that looks like, take a look at former Sheriff Tommy Rodella down in Rio Arriba county.

He was convicted of pulling a gun on a citizen during a traffic stop. He’s now serving

As you know, we lost 19-year-old Trevor Matuszak last Sunday to a tragic accident. Some found a bit of comfort in the homily (sermon) at his funeral Mass, so it is offered here:

To all of you friends and family of Trevor know our heartfelt condolences are with you as you endure this sorrow of his very untimely death. Trevor having died by a tragic accident reminds us that we never know our time upon this earth, or when we go to God.

We’ve seen this often with recent unexpected deaths in our parish, and now … Trevor … a life barely Read More

Christian perfection is that love of God and our neighbour, which implies deliverance from all sin. – John Wesley

Christian perfection is simply the love of God and neighbor that proceeds from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This consuming love is the true evidence of sanctification, or baptism by the Holy Spirit. God’s will for us is not that we would be content with being saved from the fires of hell, but includes sanctifying us entirely so that we can properly receive His love and respond accordingly.

To Govern Is To Apportion Subsidies

Do you favor government subsidies? Does the political party you support favor or oppose subsidies? Now cover a subsidy in different packaging: try the name “handout,” then try “incentive.” See how different the subsidy looks.

Lumping together the styles of regard, a large fraction of politics amounts to wrangles to get or prevent government subsidies for this interest or that one. And

Today’s digital age comes with many opportunities never before seen or imagined. One can connect with friends and family across the world, have instantaneous access to a plethora of knowledge, and complete all shopping from the convenience of a handheld device.

Unfortunately, these modern conveniences can render users into victims of scams, thievery, and hackings without users even leaving their house or physically interacting with their perpetrator.

Gone are the days when a thief has to make a slit in your coin purse as you walk down the street
