- Infidel753, a nearly always astute internet presence, has severe medical problems, and feels “alienated from the American liberal internet” over gun control and other issues. He announces that he will no longer be with us, at least for a while. Our loss.

Elvis has left the building.

- Jerry Wolfe at Dog Bless Us One And All cannot resist his addiction to ClintonHate. Bill Clinton’s dumb-as-a-head-of-lettuce visit with Loretta Lynch is not enough opportunity. Not only is Jerry certain about improper process-tampering, but now the life of the Attorney General is in danger.

- In The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser, Melody begins with the apparent contradiction between God’s omniscience and human free will, writing about the curious Christian resistance to curiosity.
Her starting point reminds me of the late Isaac Bashevis Singer, who summed up the argument, “We have to believe in free will. We’ve got no choice.”
I sometimes have to struggle with impatience at the occasional Christian embrace of incurious certainty. I have for years carried with me this, from Jesuit philosopher Thomas Merton. It helps me maintain.
- Flags are at half-staff by Presidential order for five officers murdered by sniper during a peaceful protest in Texas. Officers had been posing with protesters moments before shots were fired.
Additional prayers in Missouri for a police officer shot from behind during what ought to have been a routine traffic stop in Ballwin, here in St. Louis County.
