October ONT

October! October means Halloween. Halloween means costumes, and I have to say, I like this kid's style:

PUCK!

October also means hockey is back! The NHL season opened last night, with the Golden Knights avenging their playoff collapse to the Sharks. St. Louis started its cup defense on the wrong foot by losing in OT to the Craps, and the AHL affiliate up north in oil town surprising got the better of the Vancouver Canucks. All that is prologue, however, and the real action starts tonight at 9ET with the mighty Flames in Denver to meet the Avs. GFG!

Speaking of title defense, this is awfully sweet.

Blues surprise super fan Laila Anderson with hand-delivered Stanley Cup championship ring

A sick little girl whose determination and support inspired an unlikely group of hockey players to hoist Lord Stanley's cup last year got a little surprise from the team this week.

Wherefore By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

-Matthew 28 19-20

For those of you that don't know the story, Dallas police officer Amber Guyger shot and killed Botham Jean last year when she mistakenly went into his apartment and thought he was an intruder. This week she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime. The victim's brother was allowed to give a victim impact statement, and in this most trying circumstance, the glory of Christ shone through him like a beacon. This man is walking the walk:

Hero

As long as we're quoting the bible, might as well visit the gospel of John:

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

-John 15:13

15-year-old dies protecting little sister during burglary, police say

Kyhler, when the moment came, you were not found wanting. She's safe, you can rest in peace.

The Ugly American

Please America, take Meghan Markle back

No, what Meghan has done is drag with her, across the Atlantic, a garbage truck full of the most emetic US wokeness and deposited it on our front lawns. She has brought with her the infantile identity politics of Hollywood and US campuses, with all its non sequiturs, its bizarre obsessions, its mutual contradictions and its self-evident hypocrisies.

Yesterday, the president made what has to be one of his greatest troll tweets of all time:

Wait, what's that you say? You can't see anything? Well, that's because the video featured an (altered) 10 second clip from a Nickleback video. Nickleback complained about it and Twitter removed it for “copyright violations”. This proves two things:

#1 The president has somehow made Nickleback relevant again, which I would have bet would never have happened in a million years, and

#2 Of course this strategy worked, and nobody could remember seeing the video an of course nobody retweeted it. LOL, J/K! You'd think these jackasses would be familiar with the Streisand effect. Here's an example:

I read somewhere that someone once postulated that the internet reacts to censorship as damage and attempts to route around it. I think this is true.
