"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," Pope Leo said. "And someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."
Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life'
Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Sam Wyche did not like Jerry Glanville.

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

The fact people care about a "client list" from Jeffrey Epstein rather than restitution for his victims shows conspiracy theorists never about justice for these girls. They cared about weaponizing his horrific actions to "expose" their enemies.

If you’re spending one fucking second wringing your hands about Joe Biden’s age while a new set of arsonists are burning the entire nation down, please go touch all the grass
CNN commentator Van Jones tells Jake Tapper that Democrats will face long-term political consequences for what he called a “massive cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his final year in office." Translation: Van has to help CNN's Jake Tapper sell books. www.mediaite.com/tv/crime-aga...
‘Crime Against This Republic!’ CNN’s Van Jones Torches Dems for Biden ‘Cover-Up’
Jake Tapper followed up by referencing an interview on The View in which Biden insisted he would have won re-election had he stayed in the race.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.
