If your husband struggles with sin, or has some sort comings, you still have to obey him and serve him. He’s the head of household, and that means if he decides to be foolish, it is what it is. So long as he isn’t asking you to sin, which is where the line is drawn.

Our car is in the shop so the only Mass we could get to was a NO Mass. Those are no longer a near occasion of sin for me. They are an actual occasion of sin. First we sang a completely heretical Protestant hymn written by Charles Wesley. Then we had a deacon homily and in 15 minutes he mentioned the following: the Beatles, Bryan Adams. Tina Turner, Taylor Swift and the Swifties, the movie The Notebook, the movie It's a Wonderful Life, Celine Dion, Neil Diamond, Dionne Warwick, and Cupid. I could not make this up if someone fed me drugs and then put a gun to my head.

The cheesecake factory here is in a mall next to a Dave and Busters.

The snootiness towards things like the Cheesecake Factory doesn’t work when their own personal taste consists of this:

The coastal elites hate Americana. We know what they really think, and we know why they are so quickly defending Obama’s snobbery. They might think they are “too good” for the Cheesecake Factory, or find the decor to be tacky, but most regular Americans don’t

"Cheesecake Factory as beloved staple of Middle America that elitists mock at their own peril" is such a great discourse. Wish Obama got out on the trail more often

"Donald Trump has got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." — Barack Obama

If you ever go to Monticello be prepared to listen to the America-despising and Jefferson-hating guides ram the world “enslaved” down your throat 500 times. They are obsessed with slavery, and they want you to be, too. They want you to hate Jefferson. Seriously. They really do. By the time you leave, you’ll forget Thomas Jefferson ever lived there because they want to you think non-stop about slavery. They want your visit to Monticello to be a cosplay of the TV series ROOTS. This is one of the cabins that some of his slaves lived in. I don’t want to make light of slavery - and I’m not. But … The weather in that area is beautiful most of the year. The slaves lived around the gardens with incredible views in every direction. They ate fresh fruit and vegetables and anything else Jefferson ate. For the most part, they lived and worked with no supervision. In fact, many were on another area of the mountain. Many were well-educated and skilled. They could have easily walked off the mountain and toward Pennsylvania. It would have taken about 10-15 days to get there. Who would have stopped hundreds of slaves walking together? Monticello wants you to be horrified by this cabin. Well, the jokes on them, I think. All things considered, being the 1700s and all, these were really nice digs. In fact, plenty of people then and now could only hope to live in a nice cabin like this in a beautiful and peaceful setting. No one wants to be enslaved. I get that. My point is, life at Monticello was not ROOTS. But unfortunately, that’s what the people running the estate want you to believe. It’s part of a plan to destroy American heroes. They want you to be ashamed of the Founding Fathers. Don’t be. They were absolute heroes in every sense of the word. Thomas Jefferson was a hero. It would be great if the people running Monticello treated him as such. It’s too bad it can’t be owned by the U.S. government and operated by the National Park Service. Monticello and Thomas Jefferson deserve that.
