Spotlight (2016)

*** begin quote ***

The true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.

*** end quote ***

It was a shocking movie. I knew about the scandal and some of how Cardinal Law escaped justice. I never anticipated the “6% of all”, “thousands of victims”, and all the deaths and disabilities. It’s a must watch for any Catholic. And, the institutional Church has a lot of explaining and atoning to do.

NEWJERSEY: 7 NJ counties run Nursing Homes?

Friday, June 2, 2017

BEHIND THE WSJ PAYWALL 

Should Nursing Homes Be a Government Service?

*** begin quote ***

NANTUCKET, Mass.—The 11,000 year-round residents of this summer colony off Cape Cod are confronting an emotional question: whether the island is a place where they can grow old.

*** and ***

Nantucket now joins cities and towns from New Jersey to Tennessee in wondering whether nursing homes are an essential municipal service like fire, sewers and schools.

*** and ***

Financial pressures led New Jersey counties to sell their nursing homes to private companies, a move that saved some facilities, according to John Donnadio, executive director of the New Jersey Association of Counties. Only seven New Jersey counties still run nursing homes, down from 14 about five years ago, and “that number is going to drop more,” he said.

Who knew?

Why?

The Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy. 

I don’t understand why it’s in 5?

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: FDR knew about the Shoah

Thursday, June 1, 2017

On June 1st, 1942, seven months after the extermination of prisoners began, the Warsaw underground newspaper, the Liberty Brigade, made the public announcement of the gassing of tens of thousands of Jews at Chelmno, a Nazi-operated death camp in Poland. The story came from a young man, Emanuel Ringelblum, who had escaped the Chelmno death camp after being forced to bury bodies as they were thrown out of the gas vans. The West now knew the horrific truth about the slaughter of Jews.

So don’t believe any Gooferment propaganda that FDR didn’t know!

So why didn’t we bomb the railways?

And, why didn’t we catch all the Nazis?

Argh!
