Negative coverage? I feel as if they've been all but cheerleading the Iranians.

This reminds me of criticizing Trump for calling the press "the enemy of the people". Well, when the press doesn't act like a free press, but an extension of the political machine, takes it upon themselves to skew public opinion, and gets away with slandering people, what else are they?

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left.

And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing.
...
I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne.

This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports.

But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity.

Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm.

The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue.

As writer Jesús Enrique Rosas points out, Axelrod and Leo are trying to force observant Catholics into choosing, Trump or the Pope. Axelrod and Leo may find observant US Catholics are not blindly lockstep supporters of the Pope in anything/everything he says.

Politics / Why justice keeps failing (SF Bay Area) Asian hate victims

Why justice keeps failing Asian hate victims

History repeats itself. As Garry Tan concluded in his most recent op-ed about why Asian hate so often goes unpunished, it is a cumulative effect of the loudest voices that influence a courtroom, from policy briefs and op-eds to grant-funded studies and legacy media. That voice has been dominated by nonprofits like Stop AAPI Hate, which have collectively received well over $150 million in funding while betraying the very victims they claim to represent and protect. They have aggressively pushed for non-carceral solutions and restorative justice policies in California for perpetrators, in contrast to what victims and their families, like myself, have asked for — greater public safety, real accountability, timely trials, and proportionate sentencing that actually deters crime.

What did Grandpa Vicha’s trial and sentencing tell us? That the going rate for an elderly Asian life in San Francisco has become tragically cheap. That Hanako Abe’s case will likely prove equally disappointing, and perpetrators like Thea Brenda Hopkins will continue to receive drug diversion and leniency.

My family, like so many others, was abandoned by the very criminal justice system that was supposed to advocate for us, when in May 2024, our 14-year-old son was trapped on the Muni 29 bus with dozens of other students. A serial perpetrator launched into a vicious anti-Asian tirade, screaming racial slurs and brandishing a stun-gun. And while we asked regularly about the status of our case, we were ignored and even removed as victims from the case without a single notice. It was only under interim Chief Paul Yep that we finally learned the truth of what was really going on behind the scenes. Our supposed advocate at the hate crime unit was “on leave” when Chief Bill Scott was ousted.

I also learned later why KGO-TV/ABC7 News never ran the hour-long interview they did with our son after my family and two others filed police reports at our home for the Muni 29 attack. It was for the same reason that television news reporter Dion Lim was ousted for her extensive coverage of Asian hate crime victims, including the death of Yanfang Wu. Because the truth was inconvenient.

IMO, racism is afoot, on both sides of the crimes coin. On the obverse side, "too many" of the perps are "Victim Class" and commit an incovenient percentage of crimes. On the reverse side, Asians are second-class minorities, because they inconvenience Victim Ideology. I may be over-simplifying, but if so, there is reality in what I over-simplified.

I’d say part of the reason is because PeaceWave deleted the 2 posts he/she made.

I’m sure pressure was applied to remove both of them, but we’ve captured one for posterity.

Likely true. but damn! If I'm missing information that is true, I want it no matter how bad. If it's specific and verifiable, I'll check and adjust, if needed. Otherwise, I'd be making decisions under the fog of ignorance. it looks like they depend on ignorance over there.

If he seems confident obviously he's panicking. DUH!

I watched the presser this morning. I like how Hegseth addressed the media. Essentially, he got out ahead of them and stated the hatchet job they had been doing. And, there's no doubt the MSM coverage has been biased against our side. (you go NYT about on how we lost this war already) I'm so sorry OGBuzz waa offended. It may be he isn't used to listening to someone with balls.

Peacock Hegseth is so unprofessional and he is panicking.

His manner of speaking, the tough guy rhetoric, constantly quoting from the scriptures, he belongs in a locker room giving a pep talk rather than in the Pentagon press briefing. Now he is accusing the press for negative coverage of a conflict which was unnecessary. Blaming America's allies for not rushing into a conflict they were never consulted on. As Hegseth said this was all Trump's decision, but he and others in the administration didn't have the balls to talk the President off the cliff, a man who's mental acuity is in question. And questioning the loyalty of a free press doesn't change the fact that this conflict was a mistake. Grow up Pete!

Ending Iran's 47-year war-by-proxies against the US will be well worth gas prices having come (past tense, at this point) close to LIEden's highest.

Yes, but was he a trans?

No indicators as to whether he was a candidate for Islam's elite base jumping "team"...

Pretty gutsy (or moley) for hardluck to post that with only 784 DUmp posts.

Now, some 21 or 22 hours after, there have been zero posts after sinkingfeeling's "Wow!" No, "We were wrong," no, "Maybe we should wait to get the full story." Just moving on to the next lie-by-omission or hoax narrative-they-want-to-be-true.
