A very good boy may have just earned his place in the church choir. During Mass at The Grotto’s annual Blessing of the Animals on Sept. 20, one husky couldn’t resist joining in when the music began. In a now-viral video filmed by attendee Blanca Gallardo, the pup lets out a series of enthusiastic howls as a priest sings — prompting the priest to walk over and hold a microphone near the furry vocalist. The moment has become an internet hit, with the Instagram Reel drawing 7.1 million views and 741,000 likes. The husky’s owner and identity were not initially known, though Gallardo said she attended the blessing with her own dog, Phoebe. The clip’s comments quickly turned the impromptu duet into a heavenly punchline. One viewer, @kindsi, wrote: “The priest sang, ‘all creatures of our God and King, lift up your voice and let us sing’ and the husky said ‘HaleAWOOOOOyah!’” Honestly, the dog was just following directions. The Blessing of the Animals took place at 3:30 p.m. in The Grotto Plaza. The annual event welcomes people and pets of all faiths and celebrates the “joy, beauty, love, fidelity, encouragement and comfort” that animal companions bring into people’s lives. And if this dog had anything to say about it, that comfort apparently comes with a powerful set of lungs. Today, on the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, it seems only right that one enthusiastic husky reminded everyone at Mass that all creatures are invited to lift up their voices, even if that voice is an awe-inspiring “awoooo.” Read more at Churchpop.com! ✍🏻 Claudette Jerez 📹: IG @divine_phoebe

This beautiful deaf dog waited years for a forever home… Watch till the end

Reporter: "What do you say to those who are struggling to afford gas, groceries, diesel?" Trump: You're losers. It's the greatest. If you're struggling in this economy, you're a loser. There's your midterm messaging from the GOP

The police responded to a bank alarm and discovered the "thief" was a cat trapped inside the branch.

Trump‘s need to constantly touch Xi shows he is subservient and appears to be proud of the fact.

The Republican Party is decadent and depraved

Well waddya know! You CAN host a fancy White House state-dinner for a large number of people...... .......without needing a fucking ballroom.

Back home in Dublin… No better way to spend our 50th anniversary than with the beautiful souls of Grafton Street last night 🇮🇪

Hey MAGA friends- you know how they groom you to fear & despise the words "Muslim" "Socialist" and "Communist?" Guess who your Grand Venereal Wizard was adoring at the beginning and end of this week.

HMMMMM I THOUGHT COMMUNISM WAS PURE EVIL 🙄

Sen. BOOKER: Could Flock be used to track and ultimately prosecute women who are accessing reproductive care? Privacy expert: That is completely correct. The AI will find Planned Parenthood clinics. They will look for patterns—who went to a doctor and then to a drugstore.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski at the UN Security Council: 🗣 "To the representatives of the Russian Federation, I have this to say: You have been trying to conquer Donbas for over twelve years and Kyiv for over four. You have been stopped by heroic Ukraine, a country with one-tenth of Russia's GDP. But Poland has almost half of your GDP. Europe has 10 times your GDP. NATO has 25 times your GDP. You can still kill a lot of people, but you cannot win. You can stop this imperial war of choice at any time. Don't endanger Europe and the world any further. Stop destroying Russia's future. Sergey, I know you're listening. Tell your boss: 'enough is enough.' Thank you."

Here’s something revealing I found while investigating the Office of the Attending Physician. Congress created this operation in 1928 after medical emergencies, initially requesting one Navy physician to be available during House sessions. Today, it has grown to nearly 50 people with 24-hour availability, and Admiral Brian Monahan himself testified that OAP “principally provides primary care.” Primary care. The House’s FY2027 proposal would provide nearly $5.5 million for this office. So why are taxpayers spending millions to provide Congress with around-the-clock primary care when Members already have health insurance and access to Walter Reed? And why are active-duty Navy medical personnel being used to provide it? That’s what I’m investigating.

Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon says the DOJ is close to enlisting 1,000 federal election monitors to observe the upcoming midterms. But in a recent interview, Dhillon called the federal officials “observers” instead of “monitors.” Here’s why the distinction is important: demdock.com/4romNad

At the same Dallas speech excerpted here, Vance named two women, one born in Somalia, as the face of Medicaid fraud, a 46 million dollar case. He did not mention Lawrence Duran, who ran a 205 million dollar Medicare fraud scheme, the largest of its kind at the time, and was sentenced to 50 years. Trump commuted that sentence, wiping out the 87 million dollars in restitution Duran had been ordered to repay. He also did not mention Robert Harshbarger, husband of sitting Republican Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger, pardoned last November after pleading guilty to distributing unapproved Chinese kidney dialysis drugs as FDA approved medication. Independent estimates put the total restitution and penalties wiped out by Trump's healthcare fraud pardons somewhere between one and two billion dollars, money owed to Medicare, Medicaid, and the patients those programs cover that nobody is getting back. Vance picked the immigrant for the speech and skipped the numbers that actually move.
