Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2018-094: Headlines: Trump Hits a Home Run for Justice

I almost had a shouting spell when I saw the headline on the Powerline post.  Trump has pardoned Scooter Libby.  It is about time.  Two presidents too late, but at last justice is done.

The Powerline post has some spin to it.  Though generally conservative the site is not a fan of Donald Trump, so they of course had to downplay his motives and second guess his goals.
“As if to drive home his point, Trump made no serious attempt to address Libby’s case. He said, in essence, that he doesn’t know Libby, but heard he got a raw deal. Normally, this isn’t the stuff of pardons.”
So once again Trump does what is right but the established sources don’t want to give him credit.

I checked quickly my list of news outlets and only found, Washington Free Beacon, which gave this any notice.  Maybe it is too early in the news cycle.  Actually, I don’t think the media wants the public to know that Trump has once again stood up for the little guy.

      Maybe if Libby claimed to be a trany it would help.

      Grace and peace
