Yes.  My grandfather from East Texas called the KKK people: "No account inbred white trash".  He was not given to strong statements as a general rule, he made an exception for those people.  

Except for the higher echelons...the membership dues paid by the rank and filers made a lot of higher ups very rich.

Just like modern trade unions or any other organization beset by Pournelles iron law of bureaucracy. You can even see it in the NRA.

Should have sent those 14 year old boys from Plano, Texas* to the world cup and told them announce their new gender identity.

*In 2017 an under 15 year old boys soccer team famously, or infamously, beat the USA Women's National Soccer team 5-2.  BTW, the Green Haired Megan Rapinoe was part of that losing effort as well.

Not happy that they lost, but the way they lost?  Priceless!

I was delighted that they lost.  This team was the definition of hubris and basically gave zero reason to cheer for them.  Hell, even after the loss the goalie stated "we lost the World Cup by a millimeter."  No... you all lost in the round of 16 by a millimeter.  There was nothing from any of their performances to give the impression they had a chance to win it all.  Sweden looked dead, like they had no legs (I saw one of Sweden's earlier games and they looked far better in that one), and they still had to go to PKs against them.  Then to completely whiff on 3 of them!  Afterwards I googled how often men completely miss or hit the bars on a PK.  Found a site tracking data for an English league going back 15 years.  Those men missed 7% of the time.  The women here missed... 3 out of 7?  This after making such a big deal about equal pay?  Give me a break.

The discussion on reddit afterwards was illuminating.  Other countries have caught up in investment with their female players.  Going forward... there's little reason to think the women's team won't mirror our men's team - lucky to make the rough of 16... if that.

It's surprising in this day and age of controversy drawing page hits and views (ie, revenue) that more folks aren't willing to step up and push back against the equal pay nonsense.  If women wanted to make the money of men they could in the men's leagues... but the basic realities of human anatomy combined with what sports are the most popular in the world means they basically have no chance.  On top of that there's also the fact the discussion of gender pay gaps is far more nuanced today than it was a few decades ago... but many still cling to the talking points of a few decades ago as if they haven't changed.  They have.  It's a discussion worth having (because the shifts have led to some unforeseen consequences in other areas of life) but like a lot of things in the spotlight these days they're not talking about it honestly.

The New York Times collaborated with the New York State government to produce its now-infamous series of stories targeting Orthodox Jewish schools, according to over 800 pages of emails obtained by Breitbart News.

The Times’ Eliza Shapiro — self-described “serious reporter who doesn’t pull punches” — is seen in the massive volume of communications, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, discussing with the New York State Education Department how “we” can craft comment for the first story launching the Times’ series of articles targeting yeshivas, and giving the government almost a full business-week longer than the schools to comment. Emails also show she worked with the government to direct blame for the Times’ allegations, and coordinated timing on publishing with a vote to regulate the religious schools.

The Times’ first story that launched the anti-religious crusade, published in September, alleges Hasidic students “[know] nothing” and grow up “barely [able] to support their own families.” The story was revealed by Breitbart to have been carefully curated by omitting relevant information, shunning sources directly involved with the schools, and declining to publish pertinent on-the-record statements — producing a weapon used by secular political interest groups to attack the Orthodox Jewish community’s most sacred institutions.

 

Is anyone surprised?

Archbishop Chaput already wrote of his experiences with Dem operatives:

Back in 2008, in the weeks leading up to the Obama-McCain presidential election, two young men visited me in Denver.  They were from Catholics United, a group describing itself as committed to social justice issues.  They voiced great concern at the manipulative skill of Catholic agents for the Republican Party.  And they hoped my brother bishops and I would resist identifying the Church with single-issue and partisan (read: abortion) politics.

It was an interesting experience.  Both men were obvious flacks for the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party — creatures of a political machine, not men of the Church; less concerned with Catholic teaching than with its influence.  And presumably (for them) bishops were dumb enough to be used as tools, or at least prevented from helping the other side.  Yet these two young men not only equaled but surpassed their Republican cousins in the talents of servile partisan hustling.  Thanks to their work, and activists like them, American Catholics helped to elect an administration that has been the most stubbornly unfriendly to religious believers, institutions, concerns and liberty in generations.

It's worse than that. The whole world is now in the beginning of the book of Revelation.
