Where I live, the school gives you the option to remain, even if you move, so long as you can get yourself there. I thought this would be policy everywhere?

It goes way deeper than this! Cardinal Pell (Australia) was investigating financial abuse at the Vatican when Becciu bribed Australian officials to prosecute Pell for alleged crimes (some say they were trumped up, others disagree). Becciu was trying to get Pell out of the picture so he wouldn’t get caught in his financial crimes. Becciu was using the Vatican bank to launder money for the Italian Mafia who probably had dirt on him. Very bad stuff.

Eventually Pell’s guilt was dropped and he was released from prison and Becciu was arrested, tried, and found guilty.

Edit: Some basic information here, but it always goes deeper.

She has two prior felony drug convictions. She thought those were expunged but they weren’t. So when she indicated otherwise on her paperwork, that triggered an arrest. This probably would have happened under the Biden administration too, but it wouldn’t have made the news.

I’m going to say they probably give marching orders to the dictators of multiple countries.

Can someone clarify, which rights? To use this toilet instead of that toilet?

You can look at this conversation chain. What claims have I made?

Are you making a straw-man or is this something you are witnessing?

I’m sure it’s happened.

And all I am saying is, if we can make it stop, I’ll call that a win, no matter who is the one who stops it.

Stopping these types of evils doesn’t mean we approve evil elsewhere. I am not sure why you don’t understand this.

I think it is word games. What constitutes “Talking about tariffs?” Each side wants the other to appear to be the one that comes to the table first.

Edit: And I was right. Today’s headline: China exempts some goods from US tariffs to limit trade war pain.

AP is neutral enough for you?

In its report, the task force cited incidents where Jewish students had been threatened or shoved, or subjected to blatantly antisemitic symbols like swastikas.

But it also described a broader pattern of Jewish students feeling ostracized from classmates who had once been friends.

Things like this didn’t happen?

Protests are fine but were there not threats and low-grade acts of aggression that targeted Jewish people at some of these campuses?

Threatening someone because they are Jewish is antisemitic, however.

I don’t like a lot of what this administration does but if they uncover and stop one or more malicious people from harming others, I’ll take it. It doesn’t mean I’ll become a political supporter but I’m not going to refuse some good out of spite.

It is illegal to drive without auto insurance. Technically you could do it anyway but a single accident could cost you $70,000 or $80,000 easily. Most reasonable people don’t want that kind of risk.

Do these real men include all the pedophile priests

No.

Doctors who help the less fortunate should be admired but there was a local pediatrician that was arrested for sex crimes against children. Don’t emulate him.

That’s not hard to understand.

Catholics got a lot of predatory priests for a time because it was one of the few professions where you could explaine away why you weren’t interested in adult women. Most abuse was by homosexual men who had an itch for boys. If you look at their share of the population, these men were clearly the primary problem.

They recruited others like them into seminaries and good men were driven away by their behavior.

It took Pope Benedict XVI evicting them from the seminaries to reach an inflection point. But now any pervert can be rather openly perverted and, if they want boys, they’ll be more successful as a teacher, coach, or scout leader.

My local public school has had about a dozen arrests of these men in the past ten years. More are hidden in their ranks because everyone is looking at the priest and nobody is looking at the teachers. The problem didn’t go away, it just adapted to other professions.

The solution to false masculinity is to replace it with real masculinity. Men who speak well of women, who practice custody of the eyes, who willfully suffer for the good of others, and who do hard things. We used to promote examples of such men but that time seems to have passed.

By your source, they resisted 12 years (mostly due to western aid) and then gave-up.

“By the early 1950s, the Soviet forces had eradicated most of the Forest Brother resistance. Intelligence gathered by the Soviet spies in the West and MGB infiltrators within the resistance movement, in combination with large-scale Soviet operations in 1952, managed to end the campaigns against them. Many of the remaining Forest Brothers laid down their weapons when offered an amnesty by the Soviet authorities…”

Now you have to be a troll. First, Russia ruled the Baltics for several generations. Second, it is the most easily conquered NATO territory in Europe today. Many doubt that NATO would respond and Russia would displace native people (who they will forcibly relocate elsewhere) with Russians who will be moved in to Russify the lands.

I’m not a lawyer but the feds claiming it as a federal case because cars could be used in interstate commerce seems lame. Should be a Missouri case, not a federal case.
