I'm really tired of rich white male victimhood.

Sick to death of it, in fact.

7. Sorry
Should have said parents. Had an old ex boyfriend and his mother thought he could do no wrong. He disrespected her and eventually me. His father wasn’t around much and didn’t have a lot to do with his upbringing. Oh and they were in no way rich.

Catholics in the Crosshairs

But the fact is that the Democratic Party and the left have been at war with Catholics for a number of reasons, mostly having to do with gender ideology and especially abortion.

The FBI famously worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center to label conservative Catholics "domestic extremists," and federal prosecutors imposed outrageously long and disproportionate sentences (twice what they imposed on liberals violating the same laws), and prosecuted cases that they knew were losers just to impose a "process" punishment on pro-lifers.

The FBI and Biden administration insisted there was no bias. It's just that nobody is above the law, and how could anybody think that Joe Biden, a performative Catholic, could be anything but utterly fair?

WASHINGTON — Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration discussed their desire to target Catholic nuns, text messages shared with The Daily Wire show.

Communications obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) show Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston texting one another in February 2021 as they scoured media coverage of January 6. The texts specifically reference a New York Times photo of religious sisters who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally, wearing traditional habits and veils, as well as big Trump scarves around their necks.

“I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them,” Gaston wrote to Cooney.

“I’m with you,” responded Cooney. “Although I’d like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.”

“Hahaha,” his fellow DOJ prosecutor responded.

The Justice Department provided the communications to Grassley as part of his investigation into Arctic Frost, an FBI investigation into Republicans and conservatives. Both Cooney and Gaston went on to serve as top deputies to Special Counsel Jack Smith throughout his Arctic Frost investigation. They now head “Gaston & Cooney PLLC,” and Cooney is running for Congress in Virginia.

The idea that Catholics who pray their rosary multiple times a day and who attend daily mass are a threat to the country is simply absurd. But they vote and advocate against Dems' sacred cows.

Oregon Forced to Clean Almost 20% of its Voters Off the Rolls Because They Are Ineligible

Do you ever wonder why so many Blue states refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government?

After all, there is a federal law that requires certain measures to ensure ballot integrity, passed in the wake of the 2000 Florida debacle. It requires, among other things, that states clean their voter rolls of ineligible voters.

But these states refuse to do that, and they refuse to show that they aren't breaking federal law.
...
Judicial Watch, an invaluable conservative organization, sued the State of Oregon for its practice of mailing ballots to its "eligible voters" without ensuring that the voters were, indeed, eligible. Rather than face the lawsuit and the inevitable discovery proving their intention to cheat, the state settled it, agreeing to clean 800,000 ineligible voters off its rolls.

800,000. In a state of 4.3 million people, with only 3.4 million registered voters. That's about one out of four voters on the rolls. And those are only the ones we know about.

Those 800K ineligibles are a wide open gate for election manipulation.

What is it with the majority of people who dye their hair weird colors? I have a friend who does that but she's not a wacko like The Wicked Witch of Congress. There has to be something in the dye they're using that's soaking into what brain cells they have left and turning them loony.

They'll be hard pressed to identify a liberal who has been assassinated by a conservative. However, I can think of plenty of conservatives and liberals whom liberals have killed or attempted to kill.

That was my thought, what democrat was assassinated 3 months ago?

EXCLUSIVE: In Cities Across America, Homeless Services Are Doled Out Based on Race and Sexual Identity

https://freebeacon.com/america/exclusive-in-cities-across-america-homeless-services-are-doled-out-based-on-race-and-sexual-identity/

The homelessness crisis in Multnomah County, Oregon, is among the worst in the country. Home to deep-blue Portland, where the deaths of homeless people quadrupled between 2019 and 2023, according to data from the county health department, Multnomah has a per-capita homeless rate of 1.3 percent, and some shelters are closing due to budget problems.

That means that there is more demand than ever for the county's public housing resources. Multnomah allocates those resources using a points-based system, which refers those with the requisite number of points to public housing. The county considers factors such as how long a person has been homeless, whether he or she is survivor of domestic violence, and, if applicable, the age of his or her children.

It then weighs those factors against some less conventional criteria: whether the person is a minority, a non-native English speaker, or "LGBTQIA2S+."
...
The rubric, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request, is "designed to prioritize … BIPOC households, LGBTQIA2S+, [and] people with disabilities," according to a Frequently Asked Questions pamphlet. It awards 1 point for "interest in LGBTQ services," 2 points for "English as a second language," and another 2 points for "interest in culturally specific services," a catch-all term for Portland's race-based housing programs.
...
The Free Beacon identified five states and dozens of cities that have incorporated racial preferences into their housing programs. The preferences operate through various mechanisms, including grant requirements and funding formulas, and could jeopardize the funding of any publicly financed projects subject to antidiscrimination laws. Several use points-based rubrics similar to Multnomah County's, giving race more weight than poverty or unemployment.

In at least two states, Maryland and Minnesota, race appears to be the single largest factor in allocating certain forms of rent relief.

Who was this Dem "michaelandwicket" claims was assassinated? Melissa Hortman, who was murdered by a nutcase Goobernor Walz had appointed to his Workforce Development Board? Trying to mountainize that mole hill into morally equivalent to 3 or 4 Trump-Haters making assassination attempts doesn't work.

That non-equivalency aside, how many Rs claimed the murder/assassination of Hortman was a staged fake? How many Rs celebrated Hortman's death?

ETA: DU-folk are also guessing that the memester was referring to Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

WRT the  killer, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_shootings_of_Minnesota_legislators#Accused :

Quote
Federal charging documents described Boelter as acting with "the intent to kill, injure, harass, and intimidate Minnesota legislators".[6] His anti-abortion views are a possible motive.[73] Boelter was registered to vote in Oklahoma as a Republican for the 2004 United States presidential election, although on a state document in 2019 he wrote that he had "no party preference".[8] A longtime Sleepy Eye, Minnesota resident who knew Boelter since he was a fourth-grade student in his childhood town in 1976 told reporters he was stunned to learn that Boelter was a suspect in the attacks. He described Boelter as "a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights", and said Boelter was having financial problems and struggling to find work, adding that "he was looking around but immediately gave up and decided to go out in the blaze of glory" and saying that "there was darkness inside of him".[8][74] Boelter's wife told investigators their family "prepared for major or catastrophic incidents" and that, after the shootings, he warned her by text message that "they should prepare for war, they needed to get out of the house and people with guns may be showing up to the house".[75]

IOW, the killer might have voted for Trump, but his motives were likely personal rather than political. Boelter was a bit of a misfit mountebank, a career-hopper who never settled on and succeeded in any.

General Discussion / Re: About those ICC charges against Netanyahu

The trouble isn’t over for Karim Khan. He’s the International Criminal Court prosecutor who requested arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders in 2024, shortly after learning he had been accused of sexual assault. He took leave in May 2025, and this month the court’s governors voted to advance disciplinary proceedings.

This timeline tells a lot about the ICC:

* Khan was accused in 2024;

* Khan took leave in May 2025;

* The ICC voted to "advance disciplinary proceedings" in April 2026.

The accusation against Khan was taken so seriously that it too a year and a half or two years for the ICC to decide to do ....... something.

Haters being what they are, the ICC will be all the more vociferous in their hatred of Israel. Israel probably does not mind that, plus or minus an aircraft carrier or two of uncertain reliability, she may have more active naval ships than the UK or France or Germany.

BrightPath Bridgetown Child Care Center sounds like a preschool, a private business. They probably did not like the idea that a third or half or two thirds or all of their customers and potential customers would not want their children taught by someone that hateful.

IMO, unless parents of that high school's students - or the Trump-Hater goes full-victim - kick up a mega-fuss, that teacher will be back after things calm down a bit.
