Catholic Church To Consider Electing Pope Who's A Catholic This Time


А вы как думаете - опять комуняку-буденовца выберут или на этот раз кого-то менее продвинутого? Это, конечно, совсем не мой цирк и не мои мавпы, но всё-таки любопытно.

1. This alien-like field of mirrors in the desert was once the future of solar energy. It’s closing after just 11 years
"the technology proved finnicky and never quite worked as well as intended, said Jenny Chase, a solar analyst at BloombergNEF."
It worked well enough to get 1.6Bn of taxpayer money though.

2. EPA Chief Sounds Alarm On Rogue Climate Group Launching Sulfur Dioxide Balloons To Geo-Engineer Earth
The guy behind this also finances "Just stop oil" wackos.

3. A Biden Administration Secret Report Designated Gun Ownership as Fuel for Domestic Terrorism
Yes, everyone who wants to own a gun is a terrorist in making for Dems.

Who let the DOGE out

4. David Hogg’s gun control group had a drastic collapse in donations via ActBlue immediately following Trump’s closure of USAID. As a result, March for Our Lives has had to layoff almost all of its staff.
Funny how that works - supposedly widely popular NGO is completely broke as soon as government funding is cut off.

5. More than 21,000 IRS agents have reportedly accepted the Trump administration’s recent offer to resign. -NYT

6. Trump admin ends $12.6 Million in NIH grants to UW-Madison, including projects on 'gender identity'

А что, так можно было?!

11. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Orlando Ortega-Lopez, alleged to have ties to the Tren de Aragua gang, at the home of New Mexico State Judge Jose 'Joel' Cano.
Интересные у судей-демократов друзья, а?

12. Kilmar Abrego Garcia twice accused of domestic violence
Это тот самый примерный семьянин, необходимость пребывания которого в США провозглашает вся демпартия.

13. Let's tell YET ANOTHER story about Kilmar Abrego-Garcia and his alleged membership in MS-13 - and his lawyer playing fast and loose with the facts.

14. Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, has strategically censored her partner’s left hand in the photo she uploaded on her TikTok to promote her GoFundMe.
Spoiler: there are MS-13 tattoos on his left hand.

15. Van Hollen confirms taxpayers paid for him to fly to El Salvador and sip margaritas with a deported illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member
Of course we did.

Нас бережёт

16. US Naval Academy: "a white applicant with a 5% chance of admission would have a 50% chance if evaluated as Black, and more than 70% of Black admits would not have been admitted under a race-neutral system"
That's a definition of a racist system.

Oh fuck. Is this a Russian op or someone in Ukraine is really so dumb?

20. Lefty Hero Luigi Mangione Charged With a Crime That Makes Him Eligible for the Death Penalty
I'm opposed to death penalty on ideological grounds, but if there was ever a case with a strong argument for it, it's this one. We know he did the murder, we know it was premeditated and deliberate, there's no doubt of anything here.

Trans-Qaeda

21. A federal judge just ruled that two fathers can't wear pink wristbands that say "XX" to silently protest male inclusion in women's sports The judge said the female chromosomes, XX, are a "demeaning and harassing assertion".
Freedom of speech only applies to one party. And it's not yours.

State-sponsored propaganda still going strong in Europe.

Dozens of swastikas

26. Police: Che-Loving Arsonist Targeted Shapiro Over 'Palestine'
Демократы вырастили эту плесень, и теперь она их же атакует.

27. Harvard Law Publishes Fond Reminiscence From Student Facing Criminal Charges for Assaulting Jewish Classmate
Harvard is not the national center of academic antisemitism.

28. If you have fallen for the PR blitz surrounding Mohsen Mahdawi, the Palestinian student who loves peace and Jewish people, then sit down and hold onto something.
Completely unexpectedly, this guy is actually a liar, a terrorist supporter and a promoter of the genocide of the Jews.

29. At Harvard-Hosted 'Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon,' Law Students Target the Pages of Firms That Criticized School's Response to Anti-Semitism
They won't fight antisemitism, but they sure will spend a lot of time smearing those who point that out.

Civility and decency

31. Taylor Lorenz on Luigi Mangioni: "Here’s this man who, who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart — he’s a person that seems like a morally good man, which is hard to find."
The left thinks murdering people they don't like is "morally good". Always did, in fact.

32. The comments on Karmelo Anthony’s fundraiser are truly horrifying. They make it very clear that these people don’t care whether he has a valid self-defense claim or not. They see Metcalf’s murder as an act of racial vengeance.

33. Austin Metcalf's family was swatted overnight.
It takes very special kind of people to attack a family of a murdered child. Unfortunately, the Left has a lot of such people.

34. Washington State professor arrested for assaulting student wearing MAGA hat
Academic freedom means freedom of violence against people who do not conform. Or at least woke academics think so. He's a commie, so it's natural for him to use political violence.

36. Georgia man charged with threatening to kill Tulsi Gabbard, her family

37. Minnesota government fiscal policy analyst busted for causing $20,000 total in damages to multiple Teslas.

Лучшие люди города

38. Karmelo Anthony’s family raised nearly $500k for legal defense and are now moving into a massive new home.
What did he do to deserve all this? Well, he murdered a person. Now he's free (at least until the court hearings day) and half a million richer. Crime does pay sometimes.

39. Karmelo Anthony's reps call police on Austin Metcalf's father for attending press conference after his boy was stabbed to death
Что такое сверхнаглость.

40. Bernie Sanders, AOC fly $15,000-an-hour private jet around western US to 'fight oligarchy'
Интересно, кто оплачивает эту турпоездку. Подозреваю, что как обычно, каким-то образом налогоплательщики.

41. Drummer for the band "New Pornographers" was arrested for, you guessed it, child pornography
Well, it's not like they were hiding it.

42. By her own admission, Stacey Abrams has made a number of "personal financial missteps” in her career. Despite a history marked by bill collectors, tax liens, and ethics investigations, the Georgia politician and Democratic Party activist has managed to amass a small fortune – while working most of her career in the not-for-profit sector.
Spoiler: it's all (formerly) your money, takes from you by taxes and sent to Leftist operatives for all kinds of make-believe projects.

43. Former Rep. Barbara Lee, who called for a $50-an-hour minimum wage for California when running for the Senate last year, has been elected mayor of the city of Oakland, California.
Добрые люди Окланда, видимо, заслуживают такой судьбы. Предыдущая мэрша сейчас под судом за взятки, кстати.

Беспристрастная пресса

44. From Trees to White Women, Everything Is Racist in These PBS Documentaries

45. CBS Host Apologizes for Saying ‘Mankind’: ‘I’m Sorry. I'm Sorry’

As usual, they lied.

47. Former NYT opinion editor James Bennet tearfully apologized to Sarah Palin during testimony yesterday, admitting he "blew it" with a 2017 editorial falsely linking her PAC to a 2011 Arizona shooting.
Took him only 8 years to fess up.

48. PBS Hires Trump-Linked Lobbying Firm Amid GOP Threats To Scrap Budget
Когда речь идёт о миллионах бабла, можно и к трампистам на поклон.

49. Washington Post Gives Mahmoud Khalil an Op-Ed Because OF COURSE, They Did
Mahmoud condemns America and is very upset about not being able to stay in this racist undemocratic country that violates his rights.

Европейские ценности

50. Spanish patriot Isabel Peralta was sentenced to a year in prison for statements such as: "This is not migration, it is an invasion. Spain is Christian, not Muslim!"

51. Montreal Police Arrest Journalist at Pro-Hamas Protest Mob Cheers Amid Assault on Independent Reporter Natasha Graham
When a mob marches through Montreal in support of genocide of the Jews, the police of course arrests those reporting on it.

52. At the University of Amsterdam, Jihadists beat students with sticks.
Police stands next to it and ignores it completely.

53. UK: Catherine, the Princess of Wales, is now required to wear an Islamic Hijab and Muslim men are permitted to refuse to shake her hand.
Out of respect, of course.

54. When Maxie Allen complained to his daughter’s primary school about the recruitment process for a new head teacher, he hoped it would result in more openness and transparency. Instead six uniformed officers from Hertfordshire police were sent to arrest Allen and his partner after the school objected to them sending numerous emails and to their criticisms including “disparaging” comments on a parents’ WhatsApp group.
In UK, you criticize the school, you get arrested. Though you can get arrested there for pretty much anything. Except for supporting Jihad and calling for genocide of the Jews, of course.

Международная панорама

55. БАГАЦ вынес временное постановление: Ронен Бар останется на посту главы ШАБАКа
"Демократия" в Израиле - ширма для лохов. На самом деле страной правят адвокаты с БАГАЦем во главе. И расставаться со своей властью не намерены.

56. UK Supreme Court Rules Sex Is Binary
Very unexpected outbreak of sanity

57. Tesla remained far ahead of the competition in Q1 2025, selling 128,100 EVs — more than the next 10 brands combined.

These guys turned to utter shit. Very sad.

59. Google Found GUILTY of Monopolization Again

60. Drew DeVault (CEO of SourceHut, developer of SwayWM) has put out a new article calling for “sabotage” of Tech Companies to “resist” the US government.
There's a lot of nuts in tech.

Старомыслы не нутрят ангсоц

61. CBS News found an archeologist who thinks that child sacrifice is NOT violent.
Bloody, but mostly peaceful child sacrifices.

1. US Peanut Allergy Epidemic Sprang From Experts' Exactly-Wrong Guidance

- 28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits
- 9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits
In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k.

18. The Unbounded Anti-Semitism of the BBC

19. Anti-Israel activists at Princeton University disrupted a speech by former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett, setting off a fire alarm and calling him "a fucking war criminal." The agitators joined a larger group after getting kicked out, where they told Jews to "go back to Europe" and flashed pro-Hamas hand gestures.
Я так понимаю, они все чероки и апачи? Однако как быстро левые решили, что "убирайтесь обратно, откуда приехали" теперь их лозунг! Почти так же быстро, как решили, что рисовать свастики теперь - хорошо.

20. The Council on American Islamic Relations is seeking to block Columbia from turning over records to Congress about the pro-Hamas group Students for Justice in Palestine.

Европейцы испытали титанический батхерт от указания Венса на то, что наши общие ценности теперь кое-где не такие уж и общие.

Вместе с тем, вот например, такая иллюстрация. Вы смотрели фильм Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri? Если нет, то кратко суть дела в том, что мать жертвы преступления, из этого самого Эббинга, устанавливает три билборда, критикующие полицию за бездействие в расследовании дела её дочери. И дальше события развиваются вокруг этого дела - некоторые полицейские пытаются окольными путями надавить на мать, чтобы убрать позорящие их обьявления, другие пытаются расследовать, в общем драма. Но почему-то никому не приходит в голову, что полиция может просто приказать ей убрать эти билборды, а если она не согласится - упечь её в тюрьму.

А вот как просто это решается в Британии: Mother told to delete review into daughter’s death or risk prosecution

Тут никакого фильма не снимешь, всем ясно, кто кому может приказывать. И хотя вышеописаный фильм снят британской компанией, действие его происходит именно в Миссури, а не в Глостершире - думаю, потому что в Глостершире такого произойти уже не может. Не будет никакой драмы, никакого противостояния - будет просто приказ полиции и максимум заметка об этом в местной прессе.

Т.е. не то, чтобы в Америке не было полицейских-самодуров и покушений на свободу слова, коррупции и  заметания следов собственной некомпетентности. Просто это пока что ещё не считается нормой по умолчанию.
