POLITICAL: Did NY Democrats just tank Biden’s nomination?

Published on by reinkefjLeave a comment

From the Catholic perspective, Cuomo represents another pro-choice Catholic politician who has tangled with bishops, not unlike Biden. If New York’s governor ends up with the nomination, it would put a spotlight back on the Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who has faced calls in the past to formally sanction Cuomo for his aggressively pro-abortion action in the governor’s mansion. But whether Biden secures the nomination, or Cuomo becomes a convention spoiler, bishops this autumn will face the challenge of a candidate who flaunts his Catholicism while flouting Catholic teaching on abortion.

The “mainstream media” is ignoring Biden’s dementia, sexual harassment allegation, and his lifetime lack of achievement.  Never mind the Ukraine and other scandals.

I don’t understand how anyone can support him?

And the “Catholic” bishops kowtowing  to the CINO politicians make me wonder if the FIX is in (i.e., the politicians get a pass so does the Church for the pedophilia scandal)?

TECHNOLOGY: Blur’s “Masked Cards”

Published on by reinkefjLeave a comment

What are Masked Cards?

Masked Cards are unique, disposable, private credit cards created in the amount you specify. They are real MasterCards that function like a pre-paid gift card that you create on the fly as you shop. Use Masked Cards whenever you’re uncomfortable giving out your real card information.

​I’m trialing this as a way to keep autorenewals from autorenewing.  For a 100+$ per year, it MIGHT be an effective solution.
So for stuff I am keeping forever, I’ll just give them my permanent card.  For stuff that I am not (i.e., websites; domain names; software subscriptions), I’ll use a masked card.  Since there is a small handling charge due to card processing fees, I’ll have to run two distinct lists (i.e., stuff on the permanent card and one for the masked cards).
SO I’ll report back how it worked out.
YMMV
Of course, I’m interested in any feedback you have abut this.
