I was fascinated by Miriam Makeba’s voice when I was a child, so much that I begged my mom to buy the Pata Pata album.
Here’s The Click Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-4U2hfMpnk
When in Africa last fall (Tanzania) we met with some Hadza people. They speak a click language. One of the folks we met, Kwaleche, tried to teach us some of their language, specifically the names of animals they hunt. I could make the sounds but not while saying the word. Like this Zulu the Hadza use clicks and pops, but also a back of the throat guttural sound. Kwaleche and his fellows had a very hearty laugh at our failure. We did too.
White smoke at the Vatican.
That was fast.
I’m a silent observer on a traditionalist email list, so I will know something about what that cohort think about the new pope by this evening.
I don’t recall a marching band being part of this event before. But perhaps I didn’t watch it live before.
Ed Martin’s been withdrawn from the DC DA posting, will go to main DOJ and a new DC attorney appointment will be made shortly. Hopefully Tillis gets the boot from North Carolinians.
Damian Thompson (@holysmoke) says conservatives are very afraid it’s Parolin.
Prevost. I don’t know more about him. American-born, has been bishop in Peru. Parolin was the conservatives’ worst nightmare, so possibly some relief in those quarters.
Didn’t see that coming.
My husband is grumbling that the new pope is probably a Bears fan. 🙂
He’s a dual US/Peru citizen, since he served in Peru for many years. Gave his initial speech in fluent Italian and fluent Spanish. Chicago native, undergrad degree from Villanova. Augustinian, not Jesuit.
Excluding the Jordan backed Bulls legendary run back in the 90s obviously, has any of Chicago’s professional sports teams enjoyed a good period since the Bears won the Superbowl back in… was it 86?
A comment at Legal Insurrection says that since Prevost was a Cardinal, he is surely not a Cubs fan.
If Laura Loomer’s report on Prevost is accurate, my “Kill The Commie Pope” T-shirtbwill not go into retirement:
“He is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis.
Just another Marxist puppet in the Vatican.”
Meet the New Boss — same as the old boss!
At least the LatAm cabal of corruption Ruling the Vatican, as Archbishop Vigiano tells us, will see hegemony as Catholic finances continue to tailspin downslide.
So, what do we know about our new American pope, Robert Prevost? He’s a Marxist, just like our last Pope? Why am I not surprised. Why is the Catholic church insistent on committing suicide?
John Roberts “The judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president,”
What an arrogant ass.
First, not a co-equal branch in any sense of the word.
Second, the authority claimed is self declared and nowhere in the constitution.
Roberts always had a way with—non-sensical—words…
Anyway, the new Pope will no doubt be an excellent complement to those other “through a glass darkly” horsemen: rogue members of the American Judiciary, the EU, Starmer’s UK (or what’s left of it), the UN, the WEF/WTF…and China.
File under: Hit ‘im high, hit ‘im low.
Prevost does appear to be a liberal. I’ll wait for some more considered opinions rather than accept Laura Loomer’s.
We dont call him ‘dread pirate roberts’ for nothing, sigh but not surprising
From his public statements he seems less focused on the Word and more on temporal matters, the fashionable viewpoints to the world
Even Fox News reporters can’t get religious history straight. They say this about the new pope:
Leo would go on to be elected twice as leader of the Augustinian religious order, a 13th century order founded by St. Augustine.
Not even close. It was founded on the writings of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, North Africa, who died in AD 430.
Usually Instapundit is very trustworthy. But that particular story is fake; see this.
From Chicago?
Oh, THAT Chicago…

I would hope that Instapundit publicly retracts. In any event she should sue…in which case Trump would likely respect her a whole lot more….
Pravda facts is no indicator of veracity ‘you can keep your doctor and your plan’ was something they said totes was true
miguel cervantes:
This isn’t true. It was originally from a satire site and there’s zero evidence for it. It’s not just Politifact saying it’s untrue.
You may have noticed that I fall for very few hoaxes here. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible that I could fall for one. But it does mean I generally do my homework.
I stand corrected i judge politifacts very much as a source of disiformation, in general
Stephen Green, at Instapundit, merely reposted something. The guy who made the original post may be in trouble. But the Instapundit site should put up a correction quickly.

Southsider, so Sox for sure.
They could certainly use some divine influence.
CBS is hitting American-born hard:
