I think we are going to see all kinds of below-the-belt maneuvering, even more than we have already seen, by the Republicans because they realize they are a minority and can only retain power by suppressing the vote of younger voters of all genders, and people of color.

Republican attorney, Cleta Mitchell, urged fellow GOP members to join together in an effort to “limit voting on college campuses, same-day voter registration and automatic mailing of ballots to registered voters,” The Washington Post reports.
Mitchell encouraged a room of conservatives to unify under enforcing these restrictive voting measures in a presentation titled “A Level Playing Field for 2024,” during a recent Republican National Committee donor meeting in Nashville.
Executive Director of America Family Voices, Lauren Widsor, tweeted, “EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Trump coup attorney Cleta Mitchell wants to ‘combat’ voting on college campuses, citing North Carolina and Wisconsin, and says that when Republicans win the state Senate in Virginia, they can eliminate 45 days of early voting and same day voter registration.”
According to The Washington Post, which obtained audio from the attorney’s presentation, the lawyer’s report “focused on campus voting in five states — Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Virginia and Wisconsin — all of which are home to enormous public universities with large in-state student populations.”
The worldwide effect of the Roman Catholic Church’s sexual dysfunction, and what it has cost them, you would think would have prompted a reassessment of their celibacy rule. That failure is having geopolitical effects as this article lays out.
Catholic Church decline in Latin America: The Catholic Church has been a major part of Latin America culture for centuries, with a significant percentage of the global Catholic population residing in the region. However, the Church’s influence has been waning in recent decades due to a series of sex abuse scandals and subsequent cover-ups. The scandals have rocked the Church’s reputation, leading to a decline in the number of people identifying as Catholic in the region.
Let’s explore the decline of Catholicism and Catholic Church in Latin America.
The Catholic Church has been an important part of Latin American culture for centuries, with more than 40 percent of the global Catholic population residing in the region. However, the hold of the Vatican over the continent has been slowly and inexorably sliding over the past few decades. Until the 1960s, 90 percent of Latin Americans identified as Catholics. But by 2017, only 59 percent identified as such, and the trend is downwards.
In countries like Chile, trust in the Catholic Church has […]

Speaking as a step-father for my late wife’s adopted daughter from her earlier marriage all I can say is I wish the people of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District would wake up to what this vulgar coarse woman is doing to degrade their wellbeing. They could do America a favor and vote her out of office in the 2024 election. If you know someone in that district you might talk to them.
MAGAt Republican Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says that women who are stepmothers are not real mothers, because they are not a child’s “biological” parent.
The Georgia Republican delivered that claim during a congressional hearing on Wednesday to a woman who happens to be the head of the nation’s second-largest teachers’ union, and who also happens to be a lesbian: Randi Weingarten.
“Miss Weingarten,” Rep. Greene asked, “Are you a mother?”
“I am a mother by marriage,” Weingarten replied. “And my wife is here with me. So I’m really glad that she’s here.”
“By marriage,” Greene noted. “I see.”
During her allotted five minutes of questioning, Greene spent nearly the entire time not asking questions, but attacking Weingarten over a wide range of topics. Among them, Weingarten tweeting she supported Twitter suspending Greene for spreading COVID misinformation, which Greene tried to imply meant Weingarten did not support the First Amendment. She also railed against the teachers’ union chief for submitting a plan to the CDC on how […]
This is what the peer-reviewed paper published in JAMA Internal Medicine has to say based on the peer-reviewed facts: “The US perennially has a far higher poverty rate than peer-rich democracies.1 This high poverty rate in the US presents an enormous challenge to population health given that considerable research demonstrates that being in poverty is bad for one’s health.2 Despite valuable contributions of prior research on income and mortality, the quantity of mortality associated with poverty in the US remains unknown. In this cohort study, we estimated the association between poverty and mortality and quantified the proportion and number of deaths associated with poverty.”
When you hear, as you do constantly, politicians and television commentators say that America is the richest country in the world, what you should hear is that a small group of Americans are obscenely rich and that 37.9 million Americans are living in poverty, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and that the Republicans in the House today passed a bill that will dramatically increase poverty in the United States. Or to make it even simpler, vote Republican to increase poverty and make the lives of millions of Americans more miserable and the people in Red states will be particularly affected.
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Poverty kills more Americans than obesity, diabetes, and murders, making it the nation’s fourth leading cause of death, according to a new analysis. A researcher from the University of California-Riverside reports that the only things that kill more people are heart disease, cancer, and smoking.
According to the findings, not earning enough money to meet basic needs contributed to around 183,000 deaths in the United States in 2019 alone. An international team working on this project are now dubbing poverty the “silent killer.”
This is a conservative estimate, scientists note, since the data focused on those over 15 years of age and was collected just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic — which caused spikes in deaths as well as an economic upheaval worldwide.
The researchers defined poverty as earning less than 50 percent of the median U.S. income. Suicides, firearms, homicides, and obesity, diabetes, and drug overdoses, were all less lethal than poverty, according to the study. Impoverished people have roughly the same survival […]
Thanks to the sexual obsessions of the MAGAt Republicans, and their incredible nastiness about a minority group, this is how the United State Is viewed In Great Britain, published in a newspaper read around the world. It sounds like the Taliban.

Republican lawmakers in Florida have sparked outrage after passing a bill that LGBTQ advocates say will strip trans children from their parents’ custody.
SB254 — which one former lawmaker has called “fascist” legislation — would allow the state to rip children from their parents when they are “at risk” or “subjected” to gender-affirming health care. The bill is written so that even a child of Floridian parents living out of state could trigger the law.
“I can’t believe I’m writing this,” Carlos Guillermo Smith, a former House lawmaker, and the state’s first Latino LGTBQ representative, wrote on Twitter last month. “This is fascist.”
Kara Gross, the legislative director and senior policy counsel of the ACLU in Florida, called the state’s assault on trans existence “shameful.”
“It is shameful that our Florida Legislature continues to pass dangerous bills designed to silence, harm, and erase trans people in Florida,” she said in […]
