Source: NYT (gift article)

James Dobson, the evangelical Christian broadcaster who waged war on homosexuality and championed “family values” in a long crusade that made him one of the nation’s most influential leaders of the religious right, died on Thursday at his home in Colorado Springs. He was 89.

He sure was. He and Rushdooney - an awful duo of ChristoFascist evil.

In the real world, I doubt that as many as 30% of Evangelicals have heard of Rousas Rushdoony, very possibly less than 20%. In ProgLand his influence was close to that of Billy Graham.

That s.o.b. has been part of the ChristoFascist movement for decades.

I hope he enjoys his time in hell.

Finally. This awful homophobe made the world a significantly worse place by his living in it. His brand of hate was tremendously influential in the modern Republican Party. Future Americans should look at Dobson with contempt and disgust, much like the racist scum of our collective past and of the Trump administration today.

(There's a lot more at the link . . . and it gets much better.!

71 replies, at this point in time. This also, at this time, seems to be DU's lone thread about Dobson's death.

Meanwhile in that real world, National-Guard-aided police in DC have swept several hundred criminals off DC streets ... thousands or tens of thousands of criminal illegals have been deported, hundreds of thousands (more than a million?) of illegals have self-deported, and illegals found crossing into the US have been zero, for several months.
...

Holy bleep, did I under-estimate! From https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/08/21/under-trump-deportations-are-up-and-net-migration-turns-negative-n3806025:

Until June, deportations had lagged behind immigration arrests and detentions. By the first week of August, deportations reached nearly 1,500 people per day, according to the latest data, a pace not seen since the Obama administration.
...
At least 180,000 people have been deported by ICE under Mr. Trump so far. At the current higher pace, the agency is on track to deport more than 400,000 people in his first year in office, well more than the 271,000 people ICE removed in the year ending last September but still short of the administration’s stated goal of one million deportations a year...
...
Meanwhile, the collective impact of increased deportations and a push for self-deportation is that the immigrant population in the US has dropped. In fact, net migration is now negative. President Trump had already celebrated the net negative migration milestone earlier this month.
...
There may have been some premature celebration here but it now appears Trump was right. More people are leaving than arriving according to an analysis of census data by Pew Research.

Quote
For the first time in decades, more immigrants are leaving the United States than arriving, a new study finds, an early indication that President Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda is leading people to depart — whether through deportation or by choice.

An analysis of new census data released on Thursday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center found that between January and June, the foreign-born population in the United States — both lawful and unlawful residents — declined by nearly 1.5 million. In June, the country was home to 51.9 million immigrants, down from 53.3 million six months earlier...

Call it Karmatic Kickback! While CORRUPT Letitia James is now facing federal criminal charges of mortgage fraud, President Donald Trump had the absurd $500 million civil fraud penalty tossed out by the New York Appeals Court in the case that James had been pursuing like a rabid dog. Yes, yet another BEAUTIFUL example of the hunter becoming the hunted. Now looking forward to a very steeep fraud PENALTY to be applied to James to drain her of the MILLIONS that she illegally obtained for herself over the years.

Alberta’s Surprising Debt to Quebec

https://pjmedia.com/david-solway-2/2025/08/21/albertas-surprising-debt-to-quebec-n4942908

Quote
There is considerable friction, if not outright hostility, between Alberta and Quebec, flowing mainly from the prairie province to the perpetual Gallic parvenu. They are two resource-producing economies: electric power in Quebec and hydrocarbon energy in Alberta. The difference is that Quebec profits freely from sales to the Northeast American market, whereas Alberta is hamstrung by pro-Green legislation emanating from Ottawa against gas and oil extraction and delivery.

A second difference is that Quebec, falsely designated a “have-not” province, profits to the tune of $13.6 billion annually from equalization transfers disbursed by the Federal government from provincial coffers. Quebec’s fiscal capacity is claimed to be lower than average, an assessment that seems drastically excessive. Of course, Alberta, a “have” jurisdiction, pays almost the total amount while receiving far less in return from the central government. “Alberta continues to pay the freight for confederation through equalization and in return Liberal politicians score votes in Eastern Canada by talking down the only part of the country that really still works,” writes the Western Standard. This is a major cause, one of many, increasingly agitating secessionist fervor in Wild Rose Country.

As the Fraser Institute reports, “from 2007 to 2022 (the latest period of available data), Albertans contributed $244.6 billion more in taxes and other payments to the federal government than they received in federal spending—more than five times as much as British Columbians or Ontarians.” Why a wealthy, if under-accounted, province like Quebec should benefit from a parasitic relationship with Alberta may seem unclear—except that the Federal government spuriously entitles a cranky and fractious Quebec for the unadmitted but obvious purpose of keeping it in Canada.

Remember that 2 Senators per state US Constitutional provision that Progs hate? Here's how W'pedia describes the seats assignment in Canada's Senate:

Quote
The principle underlying the Senate's composition is equality amongst Canada's geographic regions (called Divisions in the Constitution): 24 for Ontario, 24 for Quebec, 24 for the Maritimes (10 for Nova Scotia, 10 for New Brunswick, and four for Prince Edward Island), and 24 for the Western provinces (six each for Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Alberta).

Quebec having 4X the Senate members as Alberta makes it easier for Quebec to suppress Alberta's oil & gas industry while milking a fraudulent subsidy from Alberta. This is an example of the oppression and exploitation the USC designed the Senate to hinder.

I may add stories in this thread later today instead of overloading the Chatbox.
