Indeed, you could argue that Jesus» entire life — from being born in a barn in the midst of a genocide, to hanging out with prostitutes and drunks, to healing on the Sabbath and touching the untouchables, to riding into Jerusalem on donkey rather than a war horse, to healing the ear of a Roman soldier
after it had been cut off by Jesus» allies — was a stinging

power.

indictment comes as Republicans were already reeling from the collapse of their
power - sharing agreement with the Independent Democratic Conference and vows by Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio to return the Senate to Democratic control
after the November election.
