Today, Saturday is one week out from the death of my mother (14 Feb). I’ll say a “7th Day” Requiem for her at 1700 EDT. Please unite in prayers.

    Prayers ascending at 1700 EDT, Fr. Z. Requiescat in pace.

    On the chess problem — mate in four:
    1. Rxh5+ Kg8 (only move)
    2. Qh3! g6xRh5 (any other move, and 3. Rh8+ is mate)
    3. Qf3+ Kg8, Kh8 or Kh7 (doesn’t matter)
    4. Qf7++ mate.

    I love how they set up a sedia for him at the radio station.

    As a teenager living in Boston one of my hobbies was shortwave listening and I would sometimes pick up Vatican Radio. Their broadcast always started with “Laudetur Jesu Christe – Praised be Jesus Christ”. That was a fun hobby. The Internet has pretty much decimated shortwave broadcasting as a medium now.

    What is the source for “Wall Street Apes” voting data?

  6. acardnal says:

    The video appearing in the Wall Street Apes Tweet shows Lou Dobbs as the interviewer of former Rep. Gaetz. Dobbs left Fox News/Business in February of 2021. These are old allegations and hearsay not proven facts.

    3) Qg3+,…
    4) Qg7++
