I wish one of the big mutual fund firms would create some sort of anti-Krugman investment fund. I'd be retired by now.

Eh, just as it's very hard to generate extra profit above market average in the long run (lucky streaks end), it's equally hard to be consistently more stupid than the market average. Otherwise the mutuals would hire idiots and use them as negative predictors to beat the market performance consistently.

This sordid case has brought to the fore of the culture war the terms "grooming" and "groomer" to describe efforts to sexualize children. The controversy around them stems from the fact that they cut to an uncomfortable truth: those championing the latest sexual revolution often have sexual improprieties they project onto others, as was the case with Bunag, whose social media posts display outspoken opposition to the use of the word "groomer."

This story began last year with a different investigation. Federal agents received a tip about a teacher, Andrew Wolf of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, a private school in Philadelphia, who had allegedly uploaded child pornography.

When I think of 'grooming' I think more of the decades long and probably ongoing scandal of how Pakistani Immigrants sexually exploit and abuse poor, underclass wymmyns and get away with it 'cuz the 'plods' and their overlords are  'afearing' the tarnish of bigotry or islamophobia.

Thompson or Thomas? 
 

Do you understand why? Do you have a single bloody clue what the Due process rights are vs how they are held in Obergfell, etc as a twist of their meaning? 
 

They are also bad law predicated on rights that the left can find under a rock but which was never a right with which the courts could find substantiated in early legal writing. Scalia asked the question when was the right for men to marry me originally spoken about? 
 

There's a strongly nuanced point about the Privileges and Immunities clause but thats yet to be taken up seriously by any court. Its mostly an artifact of the legal scholars. This takes some serious thinking and understanding which most folks who 'want abortion because FOOTSTOMP!' Cannot be expected to understand. 

Milo, I have to ask, how can you find an unlimited right thats not codified or spoken about in foundational documents like the federalist papers but not find any defense of one that is articulated in the Bill of Rights?

Getting a 12 year old to strip and dance in drag pretty well falls into grooming. Having performers doing same with a neon sign that says 'its not going to lick its self' with a bunch of elementary school kids as audience does too. 
 

This is the same as would having a hypothetical 'Ron Jeremy Story time' in his 'movie costume' if it was 12 yo girls. IE not bloody appropriate.

If those decisons were based on the same flawed reasoning as Roe v Wade, then yes, they're liable to be tossed back to the states for action too.  A few might restrict gay marriage.  Most probably won't.  I see no realistic prospect of any states rstricting contraception for consenting adults or inter-racial marriage.  None.

I do note that the last time gay rights came before the court in 2020, a six-three majority supported protefction of LGBT people's employment rights.  Since then, a liberal Democrat has been replaced by a conservative Republican which at worst would have meant a Five to four decison favouring gay rights.

[rmgill]

I am not sure how one obtains standing to sue over gay marriage however. Standing to 'petition for cert' is a key thing with such challenges. 
 

Here's the kicker/punchline. What will likely force that is a conflict that the left pushes when the force a catholic church (or similar) to host a gay wedding that conflicts with the church's teachings. Any such case will likely be a result of the left's own overreach.

The extent to which the Government should be involved in marriage at all is with regards to stamping power of attorney. The rest is none of their business.

Correct. But they've gone farther than that. 

Remember the mandated gay wedding cake?

Judge rules Jewish university isn't a 'religious corporation,' must recognize LGBT club

The Jewish Yeshiva University in New York City is not a "religious corporation" and must recognize an LGBT club as the city's anti-discrimination law demands, a state judge has ruled.

New York Supreme Court First Judicial District Judge Lynn Kotler directed the university in an order last Tuesday to give the school's Pride Alliance "full equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, and privileges afforded to all other student groups at Yeshiva University."

In 2020, seven LGBT student activists and allies filed a lawsuit with the New York City Commission on Human Rights, claiming the university founded in 1886 discriminated by not recognizing the gay pride group.

In the ruling, Kotler said YU is chartered not as a religious organization but is considered an "educational corporation," and it is, therefore, subject to New York City Human Rights Law.

"The record shows that the purpose students attend Yeshiva is to obtain an education, not for religious worship or some other function which is religious at its core," Kotler wrote. "Thus, religion is necessarily secondary to education at Yeshiva."

The order also said that YU and its president, Ari Berman, be "permanently restrained from continuing their refusal to officially recognize the YU Pride Alliance as a student organization because of the members' sexual orientation or gender and/or YU Pride Alliance's status, mission, and/or activities on behalf of LGBTQ students."

Jewish Queer Youth, which represents the interests of gay Orthodox Jews, praised the decision as "a victory for human dignity, mental health and safety on campus."

Kinda off topic but only a bit:

That halfsie singer from one direction (Zayn?) Got in trouble with the law here in the states for slappin' around his baby momma and shoving HER mom. I wonder if it's because he was raised in an environment where you can slap around "white whores" without consequence.

Perhaps, but  that happens at all levels of society, so it's  more likely he's just an asshole.

Several of the threats posted on Twitter have been taken down; some have not. The Center Square obtained screen shots of the ones listed below; there are others.

One person tweeted, “I’m going to assassinate supreme court justice Clarence Thomas.”

Another tweeted, “Today is a great day to assassinate Clarence Thomas.”

Still another wrote, “Someone assassinate Clarence Thomas already ffs.”

Glasgow writer, Neil Mackay, with a blue check mark, tweeted, “If I was a woman in America I’d burn the Supreme Court to the ground.”

Andrew Tarantola, a senior reporter for Endgadget, also called for violence, writing, “Burn down the Supreme Court.”

Chairman of Maricopa County Young Republicans Luke Mosiman posted video of abortion activists handing out the personal address of Justice Thomas in Washington, D.C., with the intent to threaten him. In response, Mosiman said, “I hope you all get arrested tonight.”

 

I kinda knew it already, but the complete loss of rationality by libs concerning Thomas reinforced my opinion that their hate for Thomas comes from Thomas having a superior intellect and serious backbone. Imagine the cognitive dissonance experienced by folks who have a prejudiced and condescending attitude towards blacks, yet keep getting curbstomped by his analytical powers and self-assuredness.

 

[MiloMorai]

There was NO attempt on his life.

Since then, individuals on social media have called for Thomas to be assassinated. This comes after one California man who attempted to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh was arrested and charged.

Yet.  As you noted, there's already been one attempt on a Supreme Court Justice's life.

Probably nothing new for Thomas, though.  Unlike the Harvard grads from upper income families benefitting from Afirmative Action now, he grew up in a time and place where underclass Black kids who had ideas above their station like him got lynched.

Nicholas John Roske, 26, of Simi Valley, California, remained in custody after his arraignment on one count of attempting to assassinate a Supreme Court justice.

A grand jury in Greenbelt, Maryland, indicted Roske on the charge last week. The charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
