Rush Limbaugh - announces he has lung cancer

Rush Limbaugh Tells Listeners He Has Advanced Lung Cancer

Limbaugh told his audience of about 27 million that he is currently experiencing “zero symptoms” but was suffering from shortness of breath last month, when he realized something was amiss.

The 69-year-old political commentator, who pioneered conservative talk radio in the late 1980s, added that he has a “deeply personal relationship with God that I do not proselytize about, but I do, and I have been working that relationship tremendously.”

Big day for Democrats: Iowa caucuses - Sanders will win (my opinion)

He's better organized, and his backers are relentless supporters & true believers (like Trump's in 2016). He will go on to be the Democrat nominee against Trump. I've been saying this for a year. We'll see if I'm right.

 

"Dems Who Ran Sham Impeachment Hearings Shocked As Republicans Run Sham Impeachment Trial"

Democratic leaders in the House called on their Republican colleagues in the Senate to run a fair and thorough impeachment trial instead of a farce as they did when they held impeachment hearings.

"We demand Republicans take this seriously and not make this into a circus as we did," Pelosi said sternly. "I would hope the Senate would carry out their solemn duty and not make this a big charade, you know, as we did in the House."

She then handed out big, commemorative foam fingers reading "IMPEACH 45."

Other Democrats echoed Pelosi's sentiments, with Adam Schiff saying, "Any impeachment trial that does not immediately railroad the president out of office despite the lack of any impeachable crimes is clearly a sham."

"How did I do?" he asked, concerned his performance wasn't up to snuff. "Can we do another take? I didn't really feel it that time. Let's try it again and I'll really sell it this time." He tried another take, but in a minor wardrobe malfunction, his eye popped out of its socket.

Ocasio-Cortez could not be reached for comment as she had somehow tied herself up with her own shoelaces (because she is dumb).

Missed the halftime show? Here's 40 seconds of it.

Nigel Farage: The moment he realized Brexit had to happen

A short video. Nigel Farage was a prime mover in getting the United Kingdom to exit the European Union. Many people think that without his leadership it never would have happened. He was a member of the European Parliament from 1999 onward, so had a ringside seat at what was going on.

 

I'm a fifteen year member of this fan club

It used to be called the Ratzinger Fan Club. When he became Pope Benedict the name was changed to The Pope Benedict XVI Fan Club. 

But the web address has remained-

http://www.ratzingerfanclub.com/

And it has lots of great stuff if you are interested in one of the finest minds of the Catholic Church - certainly in the last 100 years. I've read a number of his books and the several full length book interviews he's given over the past almost 40 years.

 

Welcome to the Pope Benedict XVI Fan Club! - Formerly known as the Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club (founded in 2001) we are an online archive of news, articles and commentary for Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.

Within this website you can read his biography, learn more about the resignation of Pope Benedict as leader of the Catholic Church on February 28, 2013, and the legacy he will leave behind.

More importantly, we encourage you to explore his vast collection of addresses and writings available online, both during his pontificate (2005-2013) and as Prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (1981-2005) in service to Pope John Paul II.
