<span style="color: #005300; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">First, find below my thoughts on "objective journalism". </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Second, some links to articles about the history of American journalism that no one alive today knows anything about because it happened before they were born. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Last, I offer the most horrific fake news ever, the story of Walter Duranty's cover-up of Stalin's Ukrainian genocide, which won the bastard the Pulitzer Prize.</span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;">The conceit of modern journalists
and scholars is that in the olden days newspeople were partisan and
biased, skewing their writing to advance their political agenda or that of their employers. Then,
the 20th century arrived, and magically, so did "objective
journalism" which was the rule until Rash Dimbulb and Fox News
appeared and started spewing right-wing "propaganda" while
calling it news. And that made the <i><b>lumpenproletariat</b></i> vote for Orange
Clump.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000;">What miracle occurred in the early 20th
century to change partisan yellow journalism into a crusading force
for truth, justice, light, and niceness?</span></div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Nothing.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #005300;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Not a single, solitary thing.</span></div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000;">There was no change whatsoever.
"Objective journalism" was invented to protect journalists
from anyone who dared question their fairness and objectivity. Anyone
who did so was shouted down as a crank or an un-American fascist.
"How dare you question the integrity if the Press, sir? We are
the defenders of freedom. We are the First Amendment incarnate!"</span></div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Today, the progeny and heirs of
this 20th century fairy tale fear they have lost control of the
"narrative" and with it, the <i><b>lumpenproletariat</b></i>. (Defined as
anyone too stupid and/or evil to agree with them.) These citizens don't like where the fairy tale peddlers are leading them and therefore choose to listen to sources <i>they</i> like. <i><b>Same as it ever was.</b></i> In other words,
there is now an "anti-Establishment press" press.</span></div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Make no mistake, kiddies, the media is
an Establishment in and of itself. It has a philosophy, an ideology,
and interests it promotes and defends at all costs. These can be
summed up in one word - power. Grasping it, consolidating it, getting
more of it, and destroying any person or institution that threatens
it's power are the priorities of any Establishment or elite.</span></div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000;">If you believe the fairy tale (or lie,
or, dare I type it, fake news) of the creation of "objective
journalism" out of the morass that was 18th and 19th century partisan
journalism, you are most likely someone who supports the
Establishment media and it's political and social agenda. Of course,
such a person would also vehemently deny their biases and constantly
repeat the fairy tale verbatim.</span></div>
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000;">I am posting this in the (probably)
vain hope that some folks may ask themselves if it is possible they
too suffer from "confirmation bias".</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">AT LONG LAST a Pulitzer Prize committee is looking into the possibility that the Pulitzer</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">awarded to Walter Duranty, the New York Times Moscow correspondent whose dispatches</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">covered up Stalin's infamies, might be revoked. </span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In order to assist in their researches, I am downloading here some of the lies contained in those dispatches, lies which the New York Times has never repudiated with the same splash as it accorded Jayson Blair's comparatively trivial lies:</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">"There is no famine or actual starvation nor is there likely to be."</span><br />

<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">--New York Times, August 23, 1933</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"Enemies and foreign critics can say what they please.</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">Weaklings and despondents at home may groan under the burden, but the youth</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">and strength of the Russian people is essentially at one with the Kremlin's program,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">--New York Times, December 9, 1932, page 6</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">

<div class="_e4b">

<span style="font-size: large;">"There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation but there is widespread</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">mortality from diseases due to malnutrition."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">--New York Times, March 31, 1933, page 13</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would like to add another Duranty quote, not in his dispatches, which is reported</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">in a memoir by Zara Witkin, a Los Angeles architect, who lived in the Soviet Union</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">during the 1930s. ("An American Engineer in Stalin's Russia: The Memoirs of Zara Witkin,</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">1932-1934," University of California Press ). The memoirist describes an evening</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">during which the Moscow correspondents were discussing how to get out the story about</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">the Stalin-made Russian famine. To get around the censorship, the UP's Eugene Lyons was</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">telephoning the dire news of the famine to his New York office but the was ordered to stop</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">because it was antagonizing the Kremlin. Ralph Barnes, the New York Herald Tribune reporter,</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">turned to Duranty and asked him what he was going to write. Duranty replied:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing. What are a few million dead Russians in a situation like this? Quite unimportant.</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is just an incident in the sweeping historical changes here. I think the entire matter is exaggerated.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And this was at a time when peasants in Ukraine were dying of starvation at the rate of 25,000 a day.</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In his masterwork about Stalin's imposed famine on Ukraine, "Harvest of Sorrow," Robert Conquest</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">has written:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As one of the best known correspondents in the world for one of the best known newspapers in</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">the world, Mr. Duranty's denial that there was a famine was accepted as gospel. Thus Mr. Duranty </span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">gulled not only the readers of the New York Times but because of the newspaper's prestige,</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">he influenced the thinking of countless thousands of other readers about the character of Josef Stalin</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">and the Soviet regime. And he certainly influenced the newly-elected President Roosevelt to</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">recognize the Soviet Union.</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What is so awful about Duranty is that Times top brass suspected that Duranty was writing Stalinist</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">propaganda, but did nothing. In her exposé "Stalin's Apologist: Walter Duranty, the New York</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">Times's man in Moscow," S.J. Taylor makes it clear that Carr Van Anda, the managing editor, </span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">Frederick T. Birchall, an assistant managing editor, and Edwin L. James, the later managing editor,</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">were troubled with Duranty's Moscow reporting but did nothing about it. Birchall recommended</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">that Duranty be replaced but, says Taylor, "the recommendation fell by the wayside."</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="_e4b">
<span style="font-size: large;">When Duranty of his own volition decided to become a special correspondent on a retainer basis</span></div>
<div class="_e4b">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A Lehigh University faculty member, who is a prominent media figure and seen as a leader of the racial equality movement, has resigned amid an investigation that eventually found “sufficient cause” of sexual misconduct, according to a university email from the provost’s office.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The faculty member was identified as James Braxton Peterson, in the email to faculty and staff sent Tuesday. Peterson, a popular professor, <span style="color: #990000;">(But not with the ladies, of course. - F.G.)</span> is a regular contributor on MSNBC discussing issues such as <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/weekends-with-alex-witt/watch/nra-casts-blame-for-gun-violence-on-elites-and-television-1065621059578" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">gun violence</span></a>, President Donald Trump’s administration and <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/gen-john-kelly-s-credibility-takes-a-hit-1078297155983" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">racial equality</span></a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">All that being said, Pope Francis seems ill-equipped for the task of defending the Faith. Pray that God the Holy Ghost will strengthen him so he may successfully wage the never-ending war.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><span style="font-size: large;">Pope Francis accused victims of Chile’s most notorious pedophile of slander Thursday, an astonishing end to a visit meant to help heal the wounds of a sex abuse scandal that has cost the Catholic Church its credibility in the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Francis said that until he sees proof that Bishop Juan Barros was complicit in covering up the sex crimes of the Rev. Fernando Karadima, such accusations against Barros are “all calumny.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The pope’s remarks drew shock from Chileans and immediate rebuke from victims and their advocates. They noted the accusers were deemed credible enough by the Vatican that it sentenced Karadima to a lifetime of “penance and prayer” for his crimes in 2011. A Chilean judge also found the victims to be credible, saying that while she had to drop criminal charges against Karadima because too much time had passed, proof of his crimes wasn’t lacking.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“As if I could have taken a selfie or a photo while Karadima abused me and others and Juan Barros stood by watching it all,” tweeted Barros’ most vocal accuser, Juan Carlos Cruz. “These people are truly crazy, and the pontiff talks about atonement to the victims. Nothing has changed, and his plea for forgiveness is empty.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The Karadima scandal dominated Francis’ visit to Chile and the overall issue of sex abuse and church cover-up was likely to factor into his three-day trip to Peru that began late Thursday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Karadima’s victims reported to church authorities as early as 2002 that he would kiss and fondle them in the swank Santiago parish he ran, but officials refused to believe them. Only when the victims went public with their accusations in 2010 did the Vatican launch an investigation that led to Karadima being removed from ministry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The emeritus archbishop of Santiago subsequently apologized for having refused to believe the victims from the start.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Francis reopened the wounds of the scandal in 2015 when he named Barros, a protege of Karadima, as bishop of the southern diocese of Osorno. Karadima’s victims say Barros knew of the abuse, having seen it, but did nothing. Barros has denied the allegations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />His appointment outraged Chileans, badly divided the Osorno diocese and further undermined the church’s already shaky credibility in the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Francis had sought to heal the wounds by meeting this week with abuse victims and begging forgiveness for the crimes of church pastors. But on Thursday, he struck a defiant tone when asked by a Chilean journalist about Barros.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“The day they bring me proof against Bishop Barros, I’ll speak,” Francis said. “There is not one shred of proof against him. It’s all calumny. Is that clear?”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Francis had defended the appointment before, calling the Osorno controversy “stupid” and the result of a campaign mounted by leftists. But The Associated Press reported last week that the Vatican was so worried about the fallout from the Karadima affair that it was prepared in 2014 to ask Barros and two other Karadima-trained bishops to resign and go on a yearlong sabbatical.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />According to a Jan. 31, 2015, letter obtained by AP from Francis to the executive committee of the Chilean bishops’ conference, the plan fell apart and Barros was sent to Osorno.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Juan Carlos Claret, spokesman for a group of Osorno lay Catholics who have mounted a three-year campaign against Barros, questioned why Francis was now accusing the victims of slandering Barros when the Vatican was so convinced of their claims that it planned to remove him in 2014.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“Isn’t the pastoral problem that we’re living (in Osorno) enough to get rid of him?” Claret asked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The reference was to the fact that — guilty or not — Barros has been unable to do his job because so many Osorno Catholics and priests don’t recognize him as their bishop. They staged an unprecedented protest during his 2015 installation ceremony and have protested his presence ever since.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Anne Barrett Doyle, of the online database BishopAccountability.org, said it was “sad and wrong” for the pope to discredit the victims since “the burden of proof here rests with the church, not the victims — and especially not with victims whose veracity has already been affirmed.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“He has just turned back the clock to the darkest days of this crisis,” she said in a statement. “Who knows how many victims now will decide to stay hidden, for fear they will not be believed?”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Indeed, Catholic officials for years accused victims of slandering and attacking the church with their claims. But up until Francis’ words Thursday, many in the church and Vatican had come to reluctantly acknowledge that victims usually told the truth and that the church for decades had wrongly sought to protect its own.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />German Silva, a political scientist at Santiago’s Universidad Mayor, said the pope’s comments were a “tremendous error” that will reverberate in Chile and beyond.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Patricio Navia, political science professor at Diego Portales University in Santiago, said Francis had gone much further than Chilean bishops in acknowledging the sexual abuse scandal, which many Chileans appreciated.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“Then right before leaving, Francis turns around and says: ‘By the way, I don’t think Barros is guilty. Show me some proof,’” Navia said, adding that the comment will probably erase any good will the pope had won over the issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Navia said the Karadima scandal had radically changed how Chileans view the church.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">People are sinners. We are always looking for excuses to justify our sins.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />“In the typical Chilean family, parents (now) think twice before sending their kids to Catholic school because you never know what is going to happen,” Navia said.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">You'd be wrong.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A social media campaign calling for a boycott of Saturday’s Women’s March on Philadelphia is quickly spreading. Its rationale? The march organizers’ perceived collaboration with police.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">I know this demonstration should be called <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>BabyDeath 2018</i></b></span>, but free speech is important so real men can know which females to avoid like the clap.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“The Women’s March of Philadelphia thinks it’s OK to collaborate with the police department to set up security checkpoints and conduct random searches on march attendees, ostensibly stopping and frisking them, putting those already targeted by law enforcement at an even greater risk,” reads a message that started spreading on Facebook Wednesday. “Forget that. Don’t attend the Women’s March.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />People sharing the message on social media are asking friends to share it further. While it’s unclear who started the campaign, its message gained steam after it was shared by activists with large social media followings, including George Ciccariello-Maher, an outspoken ex-Drexel University professor known for his controversial tweets, who has more than 6,000 people following him on Facebook.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Johanna James, a black woman and an organizer with a local group that advocates for people of color, transgender women and other marginalized groups, attended last year’s Women’s March on Philadelphia, but won’t be going Saturday because of the police presence, which she said invites “trauma on our already traumatized people.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #005300; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Sweetie, men can't get pregnant. That is why <i>they</i> invented contraception and abortion, so they can fuck women with impunity, and then <i>fuck them over</i> with impunity. (I'm not afraid of losing my Man Card for divulging that. Sadly, women are almost as stupid and evil as men nowadays and stubbornly refuse to <i><b>get it</b></i>.)</span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“One of the biggest antagonizers of the black community, specifically, is the police,” said James, a co-organizer with the Womanist Working Collective. “Inviting them into that space ultimately means you’re not taking our feelings concerning them into any sort of consideration.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Other organizations have said they’re no longer supporting the event, including the Philadelphia-based Women’s Medical Fund, a nonprofit that aims to expand abortion access for low-income people. Executive director Elicia Gonzales said staff members decided Friday they would not be part of the demonstration after hearing from people in communities they serve who were “saying that they didn’t feel welcomed or reflected by the march.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“We didn’t take this decision lightly and really thought about all the ramifications of both walking and not walking,” she said, “but we stand by our decision.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The boycott campaign began after Women’s March organizers indicated on the event’s Facebook page that attendees will be subject to search by police.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“Due to the projected size and scope of the 2018 Women’s March on Philadelphia on January 20th, 2018, the City will be implementing some additional security measures in order to ensure the safety of all in attendance,” according to the Facebook page. The organizers listed prohibited items, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">including weapons, fireworks, drones and “illegal or illicit substances of any kind.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Organizers are expecting more than 50,000 people to march on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway on the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />In response to questions about the boycott campaign, Philly Women Rally, the committee behind the Women’s March, released a statement Thursday morning directing all inquiries regarding safety and security to the city. The statement did not directly address the boycott campaign.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“The City of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Police Department are committed to facilitating and protecting the First Amendment rights of all citizens, regardless of race, cultural background, age, gender identity and sexual orientation,” city spokeswoman Ajeenah Amir said in a statement. “For the safety of all in attendance, event-goers can expect to encounter security protocols similar to those in place at other large-scale outdoor events, concerts, festivals, etc. In no way will the Philadelphia Police Department, or any other city agency, limit the ability of attendees to lawfully and peacefully participate in this event.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Deputy Police Commissioner Dennis Wilson said rumors that police would be “stopping and frisking” attendees were not accurate, adding: “We’re not infringing on anyone’s First Amendment rights in any way.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The protocols are not dissimilar to those in place during the NFL draft in April. When the city played host to the draft, police set up a secure perimeter around the event and established multiple security checkpoints.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />City officials say they have been working with Philly Women Rally to establish safety protocols. The event is being evaluated based on its location, projected attendance, timing, traffic hazards and potential threats of violence or terrorism.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Gwen Snyder, a longtime Philadelphia activist and organizer who is white, said she attended last year’s Women’s March on Philadelphia, but won’t be attending Saturday, citing “distrust in some communities of color around police presence in general.” She said that of dozens of protests she’s organized over the last two decades — including a 6,000-person “Tax March” last April — she’s never worked with police to set up security checkpoints.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“I think it sets a dangerous precedent,” Snyder, 32, said. “Today it might be they’re searching folks for knives and spray paint. But if they’re doing that, it’s just as likely it becomes the norm for protesters to be searched.”</span><br />

Democrats and their Oprah moment - John Kass - Chicago Tribune</b></a></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #000023; font-size: large;">President Oprah Winfrey.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000023; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000023; font-size: large;"><br />Aha.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000035; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;">In ancient times, that’s what you may have said — if you were still alive — after being struck in the forehead by one of Zeus’ thunderbolts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />But now it’s what the Democratic Party is saying after they’ve had their Oprah “aha” moment.<br />
<br />
Because after her presidential-ish speech at the Golden Globe Awards the other night — and please don’t play the fool and pretend it wasn’t a presidential-ish speech because it was — everything becomes clear.<br />
<br />And there is nothing, really, that the Democratic Party can do about it.<br />
<br />All Oprah needs to do is reach out her hand for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, as if it were a warm piece of White House pie.<br />
<br />It’s on her plate. It’s done.<br />
<br />Because if she is denied her pie — as reportedly happened during an awkward visit to the Obama White House — we may witness a disaster.<br />
<br />Oprah Winfrey is an expert when it comes to celebrity and marketing. And she’s an artistic genius when it comes to public feelings and public emoting.<br />
<br />So when she delivered that speech at the Golden Globes, so folksy, so stirring that Hollywood actors cried real tears and political journalists felt the tingles run down their legs once again, you knew it was her moment.<br />
<br />“For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men,” Winfrey said to the crowd on national TV. “But their time is up. Their time is up.”<br />
<br />I’m not making light of her speech. It was a serious talk in prime time to a friendly audience, about racism and sexism and the sins of the past and her hope for the future. It was remarkable.<br />
<br />It was a speech of a smart woman testing the presidential waters.<br />
<br />But what’s even more remarkable than the speech is what bloomed afterward. The Democratic Media Complex is in love again. <br />
<br />
They’ve been out in the cold so long, desperate to belong, and now they have their champion. It’s a beautiful thing, really.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">WARNING! HERE COMES KASS SWALLOWING THE PARTY LINE AND THEN VOMITING IT ONTO YOUR SCREEN.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />President Donald Trump became president by bashing down the establishment gates. But the Democratic Media Complex, which at its core is establishmentarian, loathed him for it.<br />
<br />Trump threatened their seats at the banquet, their position as guardians of empire, but Oprah?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Pity. The rest of this makes sense. I guess he doesn't want to get audited by the IRS.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />Oprah is their moveable feast. And they will open the gates wide for her.<br />
<br />NBC, obsequious as ever, did so by endorsing an Oprah presidential run on its verified Twitter account. “Nothing but respect for OUR future president,” it said.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Then NBC realized that an endorsement, even before Oprah asked for it, might suggest media bias. So NBC deleted the tweet, though obviously the love still throbs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Actress Meryl Streep is the grande dame of Hollywood now. She loves Oprah.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Yes, Streep also once idolized sex harasser/assaulter and producer Harvey Weinstein, or at least she thought so highly of him that she once publicly declared he was “God.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />But Streep loves Oprah now.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />“I want her to run for president,” Streep said.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Streep was clearly overwhelmed, as were many in the audience, wearing black, condemning men like Weinstein. And those photos of Oprah hugging Weinstein that circulated immediately afterward?</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Or the fact that Hollywood is full of hypocrites who knew about Weinstein for years and said nothing and did nothing even while lecturing America about its lack of moral courage?</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Don’t be such a hater. All such hate will be washed away in the waters of Oprah. She will heal them, she will cleanse them, and they will love for it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Oprah is intrigued about the possibility of running for president, says her longtime friend Gayle King. She’d do it if the people want her to, said longtime partner Stedman Graham.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Even President Donald Trump once thought she’d make a great running mate, though now he says he can beat her. Don’t be so sure.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />I’m sure it drives other Democrats crazy — the way Trump drove the establishment Republicans crazy — but that’s just the way the celebrity cookie crumbles.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />The Democratic Party was once about ideas, about sound economic policy (even tax cuts) and anti-communism and the working man.<br />But conservative Democrats have been purged. The party now offers a leftist diet of open borders, social justice warriors and virulent anti-Trumpism.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />It relies less on policy than on feelings and emotion. And all of it is set upon the party foundation of racial and gender identity politics.<br />Oprah is African-American. She’s a woman. She was raised a poor girl in Milwaukee and she made her own way and spent decades telling Americans about their feelings and emotions and made billions of dollars.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />So who would take her down? Who would dare mock her? Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren and even creepy touchy-feely former Vice President Joe Biden wouldn’t dare.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />And Kirsten Gillibrand, for whom Al Franken was subjected to ritual sacrifice on the altar of her presidential ambitions?<br />No way, Kirsten. Too bad, Al.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Andrew Cuomo? He can cry.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />So to help soothe their sad feelings, I’ve come up with a new cocktail in honor of Oprah’s ascendancy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />You can call it Cuomo Tears on the Rocks or Kirsten’s Sobs. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;">Sanders Shrieks, Warren’s War Cry on Ice or Biden’s Fingertips on Your Wife’s Neck.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />Or a Chilly Gillibrand with a Franken Swizzle.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />It is a drink of equal parts bitters and broken dreams, shaken, not stirred.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />They’ll smile and gulp it down and announce it’s the tastiest thing they’ve ever tried, if Oprah serves it to them. And they’ll say:</span><br />
<span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"><br />“Please, Oprah, may I have another?”</span><span style="color: #000053; font-size: large;"></span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><span style="font-size: large;">DOVER, YORK COUNTY, Pa. -- Police in York County arrest a girls' basketball coach on charges of institutional sexual assault, as well as unlawful contact and communication with a minor for sexual offenses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Both charges are third degree felonies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Dover Area High School's girls' junior varsity team is up against Northeastern High School Wednesday night, but they are without their coach.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The Dover Area School District recently suspended 23-year-old girls' JV basketball coach Aignee Freeland.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Now, she's been arrested on charges related to an alleged sexual relationship with one of her players, a 16-year-old girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />York County Children's Advocacy Center executive director Deb Harrison is familiar with helping families through cases like this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />"These things always occur in a culture of secrecy, and teenagers are already secretive from their parents. So, really encouraging parents to find ways to be parents," Harrison said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />"Often the temptation with teenagers is we want to be their best friend, and encouraging parents to to step forward, and say 'I'm the parent here, and I need to see your phone, I need to know who you're texting, I need to know who you're in communication with,'" Harrison added.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Court documents state that Northern York County Regional Police received reports of a relationship between the coach and the student.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />A police investigation found 18 video calls made, received or missed on the victim's phone on two dates in late December.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />"The coach should be able to communicate with parents about what's going on. There shouldn't be a need to text a child," Harrison said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Court documents state the victim told investigators that she and the coach first chatted through social media, then through phone calls or text.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The victim also stated that she would meet with her coach at various locations after practice, sit in her car and talk, and that coach Freeland would touch her sexually, all over her body.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Police said both coach Freeland and the victim knew this could get Freeland in trouble, and that they agreed to keep their relationship a secret.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Whether their alleged relationship was consensual, Freeland now faces third degree felony charges for contact with a minor, and institutional sexual assault.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />"It has to do with being in a position where you are in some sense, a position of power over a child. As a coach you may see yourself as their friend, but you are their coach. You are in a position where you can make decisions that impact that child," Harrison said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"In terms of culpability and responsibility, we would again, point to that adult, that's the difference, it's an adult and a child, so we would really look to that and say this is an inappropriate relationship," Harrison added.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Harrison recommends parents should ask about their child's school's communication policy between students and coaches.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Some coaches may or may not be completely clear on that policy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />"They need to understand the ethics of their role. They need to understand that they're in a leadership position, and the organization that they're connected to should be ensuring that rules and understanding is in place," Harrison said</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Meanwhile, Dover Area High School administrators say they are cooperating with police during the investigation, and offering counseling to students.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Facing an explosive crisis, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is considering allowing international food donations to enter his country, but wants the opposition to recognize the legitimacy of the controversial National Constituent Assembly (NCA).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Maduro also wants to control the distribution of the food donations — so far denied entry by the government despite growing food shortages and looting — according to sources close to the situation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The proposal has been under consideration during negotiations between the government and opposition this week in the Dominican Republic, said three sources. Two of the sources are diplomats who have been briefed on the conversations, and the third is an opposition official. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The sources agreed that the arrival of humanitarian aid and the legitimacy of the NCA are two of the key issues under negotiation behind closed doors. Also on the agenda are the U.S. sanctions on the Maduro government and early presidential elections.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But the legitimacy of the Constituent Assembly would be difficult for the opposition to accept. The umbrella Democratic Unity Roundtable — known as MUD — has repeatedly called it a fraud organized by Maduro to seize total and unchallenged control of the nation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<div adtype="default" articleid="194269574" atf="n" audience="all" class="ad-widget" data-ad-policy="onPageLoad" defaultsize="Extra-Small" extra-small="300x250" id="mn-gpt-5" large="None" medium="None" pkg="c" small="None" style="display: none;">
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Accepting the Constituent Assembly means surrendering the country. It is legitimizing the regime’s staying in power and driving the final nail into the casket of freedom in Venezuela,” said Diego Arias, a former Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations who lives in New York.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado agreed. “Any decision taken in the Dominican Republic to accept [the NCA] or even ignore it would be absolutely unacceptable to us,” she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Constituent Assembly is a fraudulent entity that could reverse any government decisions, including any agreement reached in the Dominican Republic, Machado added, by phone from Venezuela.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That’s why any agreement reached by the negotiators must start with the dismantling of the NCA, so that the final terms can be accepted by the Venezuelan people, Machado said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Maduro government disagrees, according to the sources.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The government would be willing to allow the entry of humanitarian aid from the World Food Program, a branch of the United Nations, in exchange for the opposition’s promise to stop challenging the NCA’s legitimacy, the sources said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The government also would be willing to allow the opposition to appoint two members to the five-member National Electoral Council, according to the sources. The opposition now holds only one seat on the council.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="ad visible-xs">
<div adtype="default" articleid="194269574" atf="n" audience="all" class="ad-widget" data-ad-policy="onPageLoad" defaultsize="Extra-Small" extra-small="300x250" id="mn-gpt-7" large="None" medium="None" pkg="f" small="None" style="display: none;">
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hoping to sweeten the deal, the government also has offered to release some political prisoners and agree to legally register some political parties previously abolished.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Opening the way for the food assistance might be initially portrayed as a victory for the opposition, whose popularity has been pummeled by its agreement to negotiate with the unpopular government.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But the arrival of the humanitarian aid would also resolve a serious problem for the government, which has been roundly criticized for economic policies that sparked the unprecedented food shortages.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Did you know Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia?</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Right now, Maduro is desperate because of the food situation. The country is burning up with looting, and he understands that the situation could spin out of control,” said Esteban Gerbasi, a Miami political consultant.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But allowing the government to control the distribution of the food would clearly be very risky for the Venezuelans’ efforts to return to a democratic system of government.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“If they get control of the food and recognition of the NCA, they would go on to control everything. That would be very grave. With those two things, Maduro will be in a position to control the Venezuelan people,” said Gerbasi.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Government and opposition delegates met again Thursday in the Dominican Republic for a third round of negotiations amid a crisis marked by looting of supermarkets and thefts from delivery trucks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Helping with the talks are former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and the foreign ministers of Chile and Mexico, invited by the opposition, and Bolivia, Nicaragua and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, invited by the Maduro government.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">If SNL had any balls (or they weren't commies too) Spurlick's blog post would make a classic skit.</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Super Size Me” director Morgan Spurlock has stepped down from Warrior Poets, the New York-based production company he founded in 2004. The announcement came on Thursday, a day after he shared a confessional blog post admitting to his long history of sexual harassment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Harassment? Says you. He sounds like a rapist to me. Or as the late Huge Hefner might call him, a "playboy".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />“On behalf of Warrior Poets, <b><span style="color: #990000;">(Hee-hee! "His gun's a pen.")</span></b> we as partners have always supported our company and its endeavors. As of today, Morgan Spurlock will be stepping down effective immediately,” a spokeswoman for the company told The Washington Post in a statement on Thursday. No further explanation was offered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Spurlock, who wrote that he “built a career on finding the truth,” <span style="color: #990000;">(<i>Oh, Margaret!</i>)</span> shared the detailed account of his misconduct stretching back to his college days in a post that he tweeted on Wednesday night with the note, “I am Part of the Problem.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The message came just months after he sold his documentary “Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!” to YouTube Red for $3.5 million, according to Deadline. Spurlock also has a forthcoming docu-series titled “Cultureshock” on A&E, set to premiere in 2018.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“As I sit around watching hero after hero, <span style="color: #990000;">(Who, asshole? <i>Franken? Conyers? Clinton? Roy Moore?</i> What a fuckhead.)</span> man after man, <span style="color: #990000;">(Ha! Your definition of "man" leaves quite a bit to be desired.)</span> fall at the realization of their past indiscretions, I don’t sit by and wonder ‘who will be next?’ ” he began. “I wonder, ‘when will they come for me?’ ”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">He heard the fascist left's Black Mariah driving down his street and confessed like a Menshevik at a Stalinist show trial.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />In the blog post, he chronicled his multiple infidelities, verbal sexual harassment in the workplace, battle with depression and decades-long struggle with alcohol abuse.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Booze and sadness makes him hurt girls. I see a future in Country music ahead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“I can’t blindly act as though I didn’t somehow play a part in this,” Spurlock wrote about the sexual harassment epidemic in Hollywood. “Over my life, there have been many instances that parallel what we see every day in the news.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />To support this statement, he offered several examples of his sexual misconduct throughout the post, always punctuating the harrowing stories with a variation on the phrase “I am part of the problem.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The first instance he divulged took place in college, when he had a one-night sexual encounter with a girl that he thought was consensual but she later referred to as “rape.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />After a night of drinking, the two went back to his room and “began fooling around,” but she pushed him off her. Still clothed, the two laid in bed for a while laughing and joking. Before long they were “fooling around” again, though this time they took off their clothes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The girl, whom Spurlock didn’t name, said she didn’t want to have sex, but they eventually did anyway. During intercourse, the girl began crying. The two stopped having sex, and Spurlock tried comforting her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“I thought I was doing ok, I believed she was feeling better. She believed she was raped,” Spurlock wrote, adding, “That’s why I’m part of the problem.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Actually Morgan, your giant penis was too much for her. It isn't your fault.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />Spurlock next recounted the behavior that led to him settling a sexual harassment allegation with a former female assistant.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />He would often yell at her from across the office, using diminutive nicknames like “hot pants” and “sex pants,” which he thought were funny but later realized had “completely demeaned and belittled her to a place of non-existence.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />When his assistant quit, she told Spurlock that he had to pay her to remain silent about his consistent verbal sexual harassment, the director wrote.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“I paid for peace of mind. I paid for her silence and cooperation. Most of all, I paid so I could remain who I was,” Spurlock wrote.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">A rich, lying, fascist douche-bag. Congrats. You'll always be that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />Spurlock then wrote that he has “been unfaithful to every wife and girlfriend” he’s ever had, adding that his hatred of this behavior “didn’t make me stop.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">That's how playboys find new girlfriends, right? Hello? Hasn't anybody heard of the Fuck-U-All Revolution? You know, girls want it just like guys so it's ok to fuck 'em like blow-up dolls and then throw them away. Anybody?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Musing on what spurred this pattern of infidelity, Spurlock wrote that he was sexually abused “as a boy and as a young man in my teens.” He told only his first wife about the abuse, “for fear of being seen as weak or less than a man.” He also wrote that he suffered from depression and has used alcohol to cope with the mental illness since he was 13 years old and that he hasn’t been “sober for more than a week in 30 years.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Oh. Drunk, sad, abused, AND crazy. That and the fact he supports Planned Babykilling makes everything good.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />Calling himself “someone who consistently hurts those closest to me,” he wrote that “I have helped create a world of disrespect through my own actions.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />He concluded the post by promising to “do better,” to “be better.” To begin, he wrote, “I’m going to be more honest with you and myself.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Do the world a favor. </span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;"><b>SHUT UP, GO HOME, AND JERK OFF INTO YOUR PILES OF ILL-GOTTEN MONEY, YOU PRICK.</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The post received mixed reactions, because, as Andrea Mandell wrote in USA Today, “His motive remains unclear: Is Spurlock purely trying to take responsibility for his actions? Get ahead of new allegations? Preserve his reputation as a documentarian? Reassure investors, like those at CBS and A&E?”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />One Twitter user said it is “brave to come forward.” Another thanked him for his “honestly and bravery.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Many didn’t feel like he deserved any praise, however.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“Morgan Spurlock is not brave, he’s trying to get ahead of the story and give you a reason so when you hear about how garbage he is, you think of the reason,” comedian Peter Coffin wrote on Twitter.<br />One user called him “opportunistic.” Another said that despite his post, “he’s still bad and I want him to go away.”</span><br />

<br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Donald Trump sailed past a raft of allegations of sexual misconduct in last year’s presidential election.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Now the national #MeToo spotlight is turning back to Trump and his past conduct. Several of his accusers are urging Congress to investigate his behavior, and a number of Democratic lawmakers are demanding his resignation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />With each day seeming to bring new headlines that force men from positions of power, the movement to expose sexual harassment has forced an unwelcome conversation on the White House. In a heated exchange with reporters in the White House briefing room on Monday, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders steadfastly dismissed accusations against the Republican president and suggested the issue had already been litigated in Trump’s favor on Election Day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />But to Trump’s accusers, the rising #MeToo movement is an occasion to ensure he is at last held accountable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“It was heartbreaking last year. We’re private citizens and for us to put ourselves out there to try and show America who this man is and how he views women, and for them to say, ‘Eh, we don’t care,’ it hurt,” Samantha Holvey said Monday. The former beauty queen claimed that Trump ogled her and other Miss America pageant contestants in their dressing room in 2006.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“Let’s try round two,” she said. “The environment’s different. Let’s try again.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Holvey was one of four women to make her case against Trump on Monday, both in an NBC interview and then in a news conference. Rachel Crooks, a former Trump Tower receptionist who said the celebrity businessman kissed her on the mouth in 2006 without consent, called for Congress to “put aside party affiliations and investigate Trump’s history of sexual misconduct.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“If they were willing to investigate Sen. Franken, it’s only fair that they do the same for Trump,” Crooks said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Franken, the Democratic senator from Minnesota, announced last week that he would resign amid an ethics probe into accusations that he sexually harassed several women. Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich., and Trent Franks, R-Ariz., also resigned after misconduct accusations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />But a Capitol Hill investigation into Trump’s conduct appears unlikely. The Senate and House Ethics Committees investigate members of Congress, not presidents, and Republican-led committees are not apt to investigate Trump on sexual misconduct unless there is some sort of connection to the ongoing Russia probe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Congress shouldn’t investigate the allegations against Trump.<br />“I don’t think there’s any forum for us to do that,” he said. “Just think about how that could be abused.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Nonetheless, several Democratic senators have seized the moment and called for Trump to step down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“President Trump should resign,” New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand told CNN on Monday. “These allegations are credible; they are numerous. I’ve heard these women’s testimony, and many of them are heartbreaking.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley have also called on Trump to resign.<br />White House aides have warily watched the movement sweep Capitol Hill, opting to repeat rote denials about allegations against the president. The president’s advisers were stunned Sunday when one of the highest-ranking women in the Trump administration broke with the White House line and said the accusers’ voices “should be heard.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“They should be heard, and they should be dealt with,” Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said in a CBS interview. “And I think we heard from them before the election. And I think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Haley’s comments infuriated the president, according to two people who are familiar with his views but who spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. Trump has grown increasingly angry in recent days that the accusations against him have resurfaced, telling associates that the charges are false and drawing parallels to the accusations facing Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Sixteen women have come forward with a range of accusations against Trump, many after the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape last October in which Trump was caught on an open microphone bragging about groping women. One woman, Summer Zevos, a contestant on Trump’s reality show, “The Apprentice,” sued, contending that Trump’s denials of her accusations amount to false and defamatory statements.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Jessica Leeds, who appeared at Monday’s news conference, recalled sitting on an airplane next to Trump in the 1970s when he began to fondle her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“All of a sudden, he’s all over me. Kissing and groping, groping and kissing,” she said. “Nothing was said. It was just this silent groping going on.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Trump denied the allegations during the campaign, and Sanders did the same Monday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“Look, as the president said himself, he thinks it’s a good thing that women are coming forward, but he also feels strongly that a mere allegation shouldn’t determine the course,” Sanders said. “And again, the American people knew this and voted for the president. And we feel like we’re ready to move forward in that process.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Sanders declined to say whether she believed the accusers or if she herself had been the victim of harassment. She grew impatient with the repeated questions and pledged to provide a list of eyewitnesses whose accounts exonerated the president.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The White House did not provide the list by late Monday.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #000017; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #000023; font-size: large;">In one of the most vivid accounts yet of Harvey Weinstein's alleged abuse and harassment, Salma Hayek says the disgraced movie mogul turned the making of her 2002 passion project, the Frida Kahlo biopic "Frida," into a nightmare after the actress refused Weinstein's relentless advances.</span></div>
<span style="color: #000023; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #000023; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #000023; font-size: large;">"For years, he was my monster," Hayek wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday by The New York Times.</span></div>
<span style="color: #000023; font-size: large;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her refusals — of massages, showers and sex — enraged him, she wrote. "I don't think he hated anything more than the word 'no,'" wrote Hayek.</div>
<div>
<br />
Hayek, who regularly starred in films released by Weinstein's Miramax in the 1990s, credited Weinstein with helping her start her career. But she said that the movie mogul would turn up at her door "at all hours of the night, hotel after hotel, location after location."</div>
<div>
<br />
When Hayek brought "Frida," which she was producing, to Miramax to distribute, Weinstein made outrageous demands as payback. Hayek said he insisted on rewrites, more financing and, most heinously to her, a sex scene with full frontal nudity. He even threatened to kill her, she said.</div>
<div>
<br />
In order to finish what was a labor of love for Hayek, she agreed. But she said she had a nervous breakdown while shooting the scene. "My body wouldn't stop crying and convulsing," wrote Hayek.</div>
<div>
<br />
"It was not because I would be naked with another woman," she wrote. "It was because I would be naked with her for Harvey Weinstein."</div>
<div>
<br />
Even still, Weinstein initially refused to give the movie a theatrical release. He eventually relented after pressure from director Julie Taymor and Hayek. It went on to gross $56.3 million worldwide and land six Oscar nominations, winning two.</div>
<div>
<br />
In a statement through a spokesperson Wednesday, Weinstein denied Hayek's depiction of their relationship and said the battles on "Frida" were "creative friction."</div>
<div>
<br />
"All of the sexual allegations as portrayed by Salma are not accurate and others who witnessed the events have a different account of what transpired," said the statement.</div>
<div>
<br />
"Mr. Weinstein does not recall pressuring Salma to do a gratuitous sex scene with a female costar and he was not there for the filming," read the statement. "However, that was part of the story, as Frida Kahlo was bisexual and the more significant sex scene in the movie was choreographed by Ms. Hayek with Geoffrey Rush."<br />
Dozens of women have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, and numerous women have said he raped them. Weinstein, who is currently under investigation for sexual assault in four cities, has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex.</div>
<div>
<br />
"Why do so many of us, as female artists, have to go to war to tell our stories when we have so much to offer? Why do we have to fight tooth and nail to maintain our dignity?" concluded Hayek in her op-ed. "I think it is because we, as women, have been devalued artistically to an indecent state, to the point where the film industry stopped making an effort to find out what female audiences wanted to see and what stories we wanted to tell."</div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky lawmaker’s resume included enough material for an award-winning memoir: He was a peacekeeper at the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles, a White House chaplain to three presidents and a 9/11 first responder who gave last rites <span style="color: #990000;">(<i>WTF?</i>)</span> to hundreds of people at Ground Zero.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">What exactly are last rites for heretics? I know what the Catholic rites are. I have a strong feeling that Mr. Johnson is full of regrets (to say the least) now that he knows The Truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />But Republican Dan Johnson’s carefully crafted history crumbled this week following an extensively reported story from the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting. The story tore down his claims and portrayed him as a con man whose deceptions propped up his ministry of a church of outcasts in Louisville and hid a sinister secret: a sexual assault allegation from a 17-year-old girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Johnson denied it all, declaring his innocence from the pulpit of the church where he was the self-appointed “pope.”<span style="color: #990000;"> (He kept moving his reservation in Hell to lower and lower circles.)</span> By Wednesday night, he was dead, his body found on the side of a secluded road with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Rock bottom. Let us hope he was insane as well, for the sake of his immortal soul.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />The death of the 57-year-old jolted Republican leaders, who were already struggling with a sexual harassment scandal that toppled the state’s first GOP House speaker in nearly 100 years plus three other Republican committee chairmen. Most in the party had already turned their back on Johnson, calling for his resignation following the sexual assault allegation and his history of posting racist photos on Facebook that depicted President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as monkeys.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />By Thursday, many were offering messages of sympathy while acknowledging Johnson’s complex life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“He was passionate about others, I saw it often yet he needed help himself,” GOP state Rep. Jim DuPlessis, who sat beside Johnson on the House floor, posted on Twitter.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Johnson’s wife, Rebecca Johnson, said her husband was the victim of a “high-tech lynching” and announced she would run to replace him in the Legislature.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Actually, madam, it was a gunshot wound to the head, complicated by a false religion that offers no hope to sinners.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Elected in 2016, he was part of a wave of Republican victories that gave the GOP a majority in the Kentucky House for the first time in nearly 100 years. But before that, he was the pastor of Heart of Fire Church in Louisville, which prided itself on welcoming “real people.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“It was a biker church, so there was lots of leather jackets, lots of long hair and people that if you ran into them on the street, you might have a different first impression,” said David Adams, a political operative who worked with Johnson on his campaign.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />On the church’s website, Johnson claimed to have healed sick people during a visit to South America in 1991, including the incredible story of raising a woman from the dead. The miracles were detailed in a letter from David Fischer, pastor of a church in California. Fischer told the investigative reporting center that he did not witness those events and could not point the agency to anyone who had.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Shame, shame, shame.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />On his financial disclosure forms, Johnson listed his only source of income as workers compensation from the state of New York. He said that money was from injuries he sustained while working as a chaplain immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York City. But the reporting center, after a seven-month effort, could find no evidence that Johnson was in New York that day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />In a Facebook message posted hours before his death, Johnson hinted that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder relating to what he witnessed in New York, details that he shared with friends through the years, including Republican state Sen. Dan Seum.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“He struggled with that. I know he did. The fact it was so horrific that he was involved in praying over these people,” Seum said. “I believed him. I had no reason not to.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The sexual assault allegation came from Maranda Richmond, a former member of Johnson’s church. Richmond told the reporting center she was spending the night at Johnson’s house on New Year’s Eve 2012 when she awoke several hours after midnight to find Johnson standing over her. She said he stuck his tongue in her mouth and put his hands down her pants and into her vagina. She said she begged him to stop and eventually he did.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The Associated Press does not generally identify victims who report sexual assault but is doing so because Richmond has gone public with her story.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Richmond’s public comments match what she told police two years ago, according to police documents obtained by the reporting center. In 2013, police investigated the matter, including a secretly recorded phone call between Johnson and Richmond’s father. But a detective later closed the case, saying Richmond refused to cooperate. Richmond denied that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />As a result of the center’s reporting, the Louisville Metro Police Department re-opened its investigation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Johnson held a news conference Tuesday at his church, denying the allegations with his wife by his side. He said he would not resign, calling the accusations part of a strategy to attack conservative Republicans nationwide. He saved his criticism for the media, saying he did not “want to blast this girl. I have compassion for .. I’m very sorrowful she is in this dark place in her life.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Well, if the Orange Stain can call <i><b>itself</b></i> "conservative" I guess <i><b>any thing</b></i> can.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />The reporting center interviewed people who were at the Rodney King riots and spoke with an expert on religious faith and the presidency. All of them said Johnson’s claims were false.<br />He insisted it was all true.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“This whole piece was so outrageous. It was as though I had never lived or never done anything I had ever done,” he told reporters.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />At the end of the news conference, a reporter asked if he had ever raised anyone from the dead. Johnson stopped, turned to face the journalist and said, “God has,” before walking out of the pulpit for the final time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">That was one bold blasphemer.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No king but Caesar</span> <br />
<br />
By Cal Thomas <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> In September 1862, a group of Chicago ministers sent a “<a class="external" href="https://quod.lib.umich.edu/l/lincoln/lincoln5/1:933?rgn=div1;sort=occur;subview=detail;type=simple;view=fulltext;q1=September+13%2C+1862" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">memorial</a>” (or long letter) to President Abraham Lincoln in which they made a theological argument for the elimination of slavery. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Lincoln had also heard from Southern clergy who used the same scriptures to justify slavery’s preservation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> In response, Lincoln wrote the Chicago group with words that today’s Christians might consider when it comes to matters involving sexual harassment and the setting aside of moral and biblical principles to achieve temporary political goals. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> “I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other class is mistaken in the belief, and perhaps in some respects both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me; for, unless I am more deceived in myself than I often am, it is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in this matter. And if I can learn what it is I will do it! These are not, however, the days of miracles, and I suppose it will be granted that I am not to expect a direct revelation. I must study the plain physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible and learn what appears to be wise and right. The subject is difficult, and good men do not agree.” </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Lincoln eventually made the right decision that culminated in The Emancipation Proclamation. The divided nation shed much blood over slavery, and the fallout from that war continues today in racial conflict. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have listened to arguments on both sides of the sexual harassment issue by “good men” (and women). There are those who believe allegations of sexual harassment of teens and young women by Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore are sufficient to deny him a seat in the Senate. Others say that maintaining a 52-seat Republican majority is critical to advancing President Trump’s agenda, which includes seating more conservative judges on federal benches. This, they say, supersedes what Moore may or may not have done 40 years ago. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> By cleaning house (and the Senate) of their own bad boys, many Democrats think they will gain a previously hidden moral authority to win back the House and impeach President Trump for his alleged past (and they believe more recent) misdeeds. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The Democrats’ agenda might be true, but for evangelical Christians should either argument matter more than the King and Kingdom they are supposed to serve? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Some biblical wisdom might be instructive. In the Old Testament, Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of soup. He later regretted his decision, but at the time he was hungry and said his birthright meant little to him. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> In the ultimate church-state moment where the crowd was forced to choose between demanding that Pilate give the order to crucify Jesus of Nazareth, or let Him go, there was this sobering exchange: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Pilate: “Shall I crucify your king?” </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The chief priests: “We have no king but Caesar.” (<a class="external" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+19%3A15-19&version=NIV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">John 19:15</a>) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> As then, today’s “chief priests” and church members are being asked to make a choice. One choice might give short-term satisfaction, as Esau experienced with his temporarily filled stomach, but it leads to a loss of credibility in the eyes of the world. It demonstrates that for Christians attaining earthly and temporal power is paramount. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Another verse that might help evangelicals: “Choose this day whom you will serve.” (<a class="external" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua+24%3A15&version=NIV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joshua 24:15</a>). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a class="external" href="https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=hA0sWt7ABqLn_QbFmY-wBA&q=Bob+Dyland+and+you%27ve+got+to+serve+somebody&oq=Bob+Dyland+and+you%27ve+got+to+serve+somebody&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i22i10i30k1l5.2421.12270.0.12655.45.41.1.3.3.0.105.3078.38j3.41.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.44.3013...0j46j0i131k1j0i46k1j0i10k1j0i22i30k1j33i160k1j33i21k1j33i22i29i30k1.0.cUwai07NOdw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bob Dylan</a> contemporized it this way: “Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.” </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> It’s time to choose.</span> <br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Kiddies, let me cut through all the crap from both groups of fascists, left and right.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">1) The Orange Genius made <i><b>Senator</b></i> (hint, hint) Sessions AG while playing politics. (payback for Sessions being the first big-name pol to endorse <b><i>it</i></b>.) Hubris, as always with this clown, was also a factor</span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">(believing <b><i>it</i></b> is a political genius and nobody <i><b>it</b></i> backs could lose in a state <b><i>it</i></b> won by landslide)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">2) Mo Brooks was the Real Conservative in the primary. Clump, the Clumpskyites, McConnell, and The Establishfucks whacked him in favor of the Repansycan Establishfuck Luther Stranglove (though his love is not as strange as ol' Roy Moore's) and Alabamians said NO and picked Moore, a vile heretic who has been wrapping himself in The Ten Commandments for decades while ignoring most of them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">3) Then there is the <b>NAPZI Party's</b> favorite trans gal, <span style="color: blue;">@</span><a class="ProfileHeaderCard-nameLink u-textInheritColor js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/GermaineGreerIn">GermaineGreerInDrag</a>. This dumb cow charged all over Alabama, spreading methane and her faux-populism, which is nothing more than a power-mad ego trip from an ignorant nobody trapped in a donated armadillo penis.</span><br />
<span style="color: #005300; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">P.S. God bless the 22,000 Alabamians who wrote in "NONE OF THE ABOVE MOTHERFUCKERS", giving a giant Bronx (Birmingham?) cheer to the Repansycan right-fascist sex pervert and the Democrass left-fascist baby-eater.</span><br />

(The Catholic Bishops of France have already done so.) May I suggest all these worthy prelates as well as all you good Catholic kiddies take a gander at what one of the Fathers of the Church wrote on this very subject. (It would do all you prods a world of good as well.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Everything Tertullian wrote on this prayer is germane, but I know what attention spans are like these days. The most germane is Capter 8, highlighted below.</span><br />

<h2>
Chapter 1. General Introduction.</h2>
<!--k80=03-8760--> <br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07409a.htm">Spirit of God</a>, and the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09328a.htm">Word of God</a>, and the <!--k36-->Reason<!--k31--> of <!--k39-->God<!--k31-->— Word of <!--k36-->Reason<!--k31-->, and <!--k36-->Reason<!--k31--> and <!--k38-->Spirit<!--k31--> of <!--k38-->Word<!--k31-->— <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08374c.htm">Jesus Christ</a> our <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31-->, namely, who is both the one and the other, <!--k80=03-8761-->— has determined for us, the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05029a.htm">disciples</a> of the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14530a.htm">New Testament</a>, a new <!--k38-->form<!--k31--> of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">prayer</a>; for in this particular also it was needful that new <!--k38-->wine<!--k31--> should be laid up in new skins, and a new breadth be <!--k34-->sewn<!--k31--> to a new garment. <!--k80=03-8762--> Besides, whatever had been in bygone days, has either been quite changed, as <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03777a.htm">circumcision</a>; or else supplemented, as the rest of the <!--k38-->Law<!--k31-->; or else fulfilled, as <!--k36-->Prophecy<!--k31-->; or else perfected, as <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm">faith</a> itself. For the new <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06689a.htm">grace</a> of <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> has renewed all things from carnal unto <!--k38-->spiritual<!--k31-->, by <!--k35-->superinducing<!--k31--> the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06655b.htm">Gospel</a>, the <!--k33-->obliterator of the whole ancient bygone system; in which <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08374c.htm">our Lord Jesus Christ</a> has been approved as the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07409a.htm">Spirit of God</a>, and the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09328a.htm">Word of God</a>, and the <!--k36-->Reason<!--k31--> of <!--k39-->God<!--k31-->: the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07409a.htm">Spirit</a>, by which He was mighty; the <!--k38-->Word<!--k31-->, by which He taught; the <!--k36-->Reason<!--k31-->, by which He came. <!--k80=03-8763--> So the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">prayer</a> composed by <!--k39-->Christ<!--k31--> has been composed of three parts. In speech, <!--k80=03-8764--> by which <em><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">prayer</a></em> is enunciated, in <!--k38-->spirit<!--k31-->, by which alone it prevails, even <!--k38-->John<!--k31--> had taught his <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05029a.htm">disciples</a> to <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">pray</a>, <!--k80=03-8765--> but all <!--k37-->John's<!--k31--> doings were laid as groundwork for <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08374c.htm">Christ</a>, until, when <q>He had increased</q><!--k31-->— just as the same <!--k38-->John<!--k31--> used to <!--k34-->fore-announce<!--k31--> <q>that it was <!--k35-->needful<!--k31--></q> that <q>He should increase and himself <!--k35-->decrease<!--k31--></q> <span class="stiki" id="note038766"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/joh003.htm#verse30">John 3:30</a></span> — the whole work of the forerunner passed over, together with his <!--k38-->spirit<!--k31--> itself, unto the <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31-->. Therefore, after what <!--k38-->form<!--k31--> of words <!--k38-->John<!--k31--> taught to <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">pray</a> is not extant, because earthly things have given place to <!--k38-->heavenly<!--k31-->. <q>He who is from the earth,</q> says <!--k38-->John<!--k31-->, <q>speaks earthly things; and He who is here from the heavens speaks those things which He has seen.</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038767"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/joh003.htm#verse31">John 3:31-32</a></span> And what is the <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31--> <!--k38-->Christ's<!--k31-->— as this method of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">praying</a> is— <em>that</em> is <em>not</em> <!--k38-->heavenly<!--k31-->? And so, <!--k38-->blessed<!--k31--> <em>brethren</em>, let us consider His <!--k38-->heavenly<!--k31--> wisdom: first, touching the <!--k37-->precept<!--k31--> of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">praying</a> secretly, whereby He exacted <!--k38-->man's<!--k31--> <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm">faith</a>, that he should be confident that the sight and hearing of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">Almighty God</a> are present beneath roofs, and extend even into the secret place; and required modesty in <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm">faith</a>, that it should <!--k38-->offer<!--k31--> its <!--k37-->religious<!--k31--> homage to Him alone, whom it <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02408b.htm">believed</a> to see and to hear everywhere. Further, since wisdom succeeded in the following <!--k37-->precept<!--k31-->, let it in like manner appertain unto <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm">faith</a>, and the modesty of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm">faith</a>, that we think not that the <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31--> must be approached with a train of words, who, we are <!--k38-->certain<!--k31-->, takes <!--k35-->unsolicited<!--k31--> foresight for His own. And yet that very <!--k33-->brevity— and let this make for the third grade of wisdom— is supported on the <!--k38-->substance<!--k31--> of a great and <!--k38-->blessed<!--k31--> interpretation, and is as diffuse in meaning as it is compressed in words. For it has embraced not only the special <!--k37-->duties<!--k31--> of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">prayer</a>, be it <!--k37-->veneration<!--k31--> of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a> or <!--k37-->petition<!--k31--> for <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09580c.htm">man</a>, but almost every discourse of the <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31-->, every record of <em>His</em> <!--k36-->Discipline<!--k31-->; so that, in fact, in the <!--k37-->Prayer<!--k31--> is comprised an epitome of the whole <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06655b.htm">Gospel</a>.</span><br />
<h2>
Chapter 2. The First Clause</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">The <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">prayer</a> begins with a testimony to <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>, and with the reward of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm">faith</a>, when we say, <q>Our Father who art in the heavens;</q> for (in so saying), we at once <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">pray</a> to <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>, and commend <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05752c.htm">faith</a>, whose reward this <!--k37-->appellation<!--k31--> is. It is written, <q>To them who <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02408b.htm">believed</a> on Him He gave power to be called sons of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>.</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038768"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/joh001.htm#verse12">John 1:12</a></span> However, our <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31--> very frequently proclaimed <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> as a Father to us; nay, even gave a <!--k37-->precept<!--k31--> <q>that we call no one on earth father, but the Father whom we have in the heavens:</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038769"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/mat023.htm#verse9">Matthew 23:9</a></span> and so, in thus <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">praying</a>, we are likewise <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11181c.htm">obeying</a> the <!--k37-->precept<!--k31-->. <!--k36-->Happy<!--k31--> they who recognize their Father! This is the reproach that is brought against <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08193a.htm">Israel</a>, to which the <!--k38-->Spirit<!--k31--> attests <!--k38-->heaven<!--k31--> and earth, saying, <q>I have begotten sons, and they have not recognized me.</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038770"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/isa001.htm#verse2">Isaiah 1:2</a></span> Moreover, in saying <q>Father,</q> we also call Him <q><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>.</q> That <!--k37-->appellation<!--k31--> is one both of filial <!--k38-->duty<!--k31--> and of power. Again, in the Father the Son is <!--k37-->invoked<!--k31-->; <q>for I,</q> says He, <q>and the Father are One.</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038771"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/joh010.htm#verse30">John 10:30</a></span> Nor is even our mother the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03744a.htm">Church</a> passed by, if, that is, in the Father and the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14142b.htm">Son</a> is recognized the mother, from whom arises the name both of Father and of Son. In one general term, then, or word, we both <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07462a.htm">honour</a> <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>, together with His own, <!--k80=03-8772--> and are mindful of the <!--k37-->precept<!--k31-->, and set a mark on such as have forgotten their Father.</span><br />
<h2>
Chapter 3. The Second Clause</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">The name of <q><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a> the Father</q> had been published to none. Even <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10596a.htm">Moses</a>, who had interrogated Him on that very point, had heard a different name. <span class="stiki" id="note038773"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/exo003.htm#verse13">Exodus 3:13-16</a></span> To us it has been <!--k38-->revealed<!--k31--> in the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14142b.htm">Son</a>, for the Son is now the Father's new name. <q>I have come,</q> says He, <q>in the Father's name;</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038774"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/joh005.htm#verse43">John 5:43</a></span> and again, <q>Father, <!--k37-->glorify<!--k31--> Your name;</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038775"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/joh012.htm#verse28">John 12:28</a></span> and more openly, <q>I have manifested Your name to <!--k39-->men<!--k31-->.</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038776"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/joh017.htm#verse6">John 17:6</a></span> That <em>name</em>, therefore, we <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">pray</a> may <q>be <!--k37-->hallowed<!--k31-->.</q> Not that it is becoming for <!--k39-->men<!--k31--> to <em>wish</em> <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> <em>well</em>, as if there were any other <!--k80=03-8777--> by whom He may be wished well, or as if He would suffer unless we do so wish. <!--k36-->Plainly<!--k31-->, it is universally becoming for <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a> to be <em>blessed</em> <!--k80=03-8778--> in every place and <!--k39-->time<!--k31-->, on account of the <!--k38-->memory<!--k31--> of His benefits ever due from every man. But this <!--k37-->petition<!--k31--> also serves the turn of a <!--k37-->blessing<!--k31-->. Otherwise, when is the name of <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> not <q><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07386a.htm">holy</a>,</q> and <q>hallowed</q> through Himself, seeing that of Himself He sanctifies all others— He to whom that surrounding circle of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01476d.htm">angels</a> cease not to say, <q>Holy, <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07386a.htm">holy</a>, <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07386a.htm">holy</a>?</q> <!--k80=03-8779--> In like wise, therefore, we too, candidates for <!--k33-->angelhood, if we succeed in deserving it, begin even here on earth to learn by heart that strain hereafter to be <!--k38-->raised<!--k31--> unto <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>, and the function of future <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06585a.htm">glory</a>. So far, for the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06585a.htm">glory</a> of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>. On the other hand, for our own <!--k37-->petition<!--k31-->, when we say, <q>Hallowed be Your name,</q> we <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">pray</a> this; that it may be <!--k37-->hallowed<!--k31--> <em>in us</em> who are in Him, as well in all others for whom the <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06689a.htm">grace</a> of <!--k39-->God<!--k31--> is still waiting; <span class="stiki" id="note038780"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/isa030.htm#verse18">Isaiah 30:18</a></span> that we may <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11181c.htm">obey</a> this <!--k37-->precept<!--k31-->, too, in <q><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">praying</a> for all,</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038781"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/1ti002.htm#verse1">1 Timothy 2:1</a></span> even for our personal enemies. <span class="stiki" id="note038782"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/mat005.htm#verse44">Matthew 5:44</a></span> And therefore with <!--k37-->suspended<!--k31--> utterance, not saying, <q>Hallowed be it <em>in us</em>,</q> we say<!--,-->—<q> <em>in all</em>.</q></span><br />

The <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31--> also, when He had wished to demonstrate to us, even in His own flesh, the <!--k35-->flesh's<!--k31--> infirmity, by the reality of suffering, said, <q>Father, remove this Your cup;</q> and remembering Himself, <em>added</em>, <q>save that not my <!--k39-->will<!--k31-->, but Yours be done.</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038789"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/luk022.htm#verse42">Luke 22:42</a></span> Himself <em>was</em> the Will and the Power of the Father: and yet, for the demonstration of the patience which was due, He gave Himself up <em>to</em> the Father's Will.</span><br />

Chapter 6. The Fifth Clause</h2>

But, because that word is admissible in a carnal sense too, it cannot be so used without the <!--k37-->religious<!--k31--> remembrance withal of <!--k38-->spiritual<!--k31--> <!--k36-->Discipline<!--k31-->; for (the <!--k39-->Lord<!--k31-->) commands that <em>bread</em> be <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12345b.htm">prayed</a> for, which is the only <em>food</em> <!--k38-->necessary<!--k31--> for <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05769a.htm">believers</a>; for <q>all other things the nations seek after.</q> <span class="stiki" id="note038802"><a href="http://www.newadvent.org/bible/mat006.htm#verse32">Matthew 6:32</a></span> The like lesson He both inculcates by examples, and repeatedly handles in <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11460a.htm">parables</a>, when He says, <q>Does a father take away <em>bread</em> from his children, and hand it to dogs?</q> <!--k80=03-8803--> and again, <q>Does a father give his son a stone when he asks for <em>bread</em>?</q> <!--k80=03-8804--> For He <em>thus</em> shows what it is that sons expect from their father.

Chapter 7. The Sixth Clause</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was suitable that, after <!--k36-->contemplating<!--k31--> the liberality of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06608a.htm">God</a>, <!--k80=03-8808--> we should likewise address His clemency.

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
By Marc Levy<br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="font-size: large;">HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - An outspoken and conservative Pennsylvania state lawmaker has stirred calls to resign or be demoted after he interrupted a committee meeting to accost his Democratic counterpart for touching his arm and suggest the man might be gay.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Hold it right there, commie pinko <b>Philamortia (or is it Mortadelphia?) Inquirer</b> stooge. You think homosexuality is a good thing, remember? Why would a left-fascist lawmaker be ashamed by a mere insinuation? He (and you) should be giddy to have someone think you are a sodomite. He will get more votes and you will get more readers. Or do you left-fascists secretly <i><b>hate</b></i> those who practice non-Euclidean sex, which is what you accuse your political enemies of doing?</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf on Wednesday called Rep. Daryl Metcalfe's comments offensive and discriminatory, and said it is "part of a disturbing pattern of behavior."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Wolf is a dick.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />Wolf does not think Metcalfe should chair a committee that has authority over legislation to expand gay and transgender rights, his spokesman said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Wolf is a dick.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">House Speaker Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, declined to discuss the issue Wednesday. Turzai, who is running to challenge Wolf's re-election bid next year, declined to discuss the subject Wednesday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The state Democratic Party called for Metcalfe to resign, while a gay and transgender rights group and a health care workers' labor union asked Turzai to strip Metcalfe of his committee chairmanship.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Why? Are leftist homosexuals filled with self-loathing or are they only interested in political power?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Metcalfe, R-Butler, chairs the State Government Committee, and his comments and committee meetings routinely stoke anger from Democrats. Democrats say he regularly shuts down their questions or comments and uses his committee as an ideological weapon. The hostility occasionally spills onto the House floor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">I didn't know this was an editorial.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />In Tuesday's meeting on a bill about landlocked easements and roads, Metcalfe interrupted Democratic Rep. Matt Bradford - seated next to him - after Bradford placed his hand on Metcalfe's forearm while speaking.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />"Representative Bradford, look, I'm a heterosexual, I have a wife, I love my wife, I don't like men, as you might, but stop touching me all the time," Metcalfe said. "It's like, keep your hands to yourself. Like, if you want to touch somebody, you have people on your side of the aisle that might like it, I don't."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A visibly stunned Bradford laughed and said the meeting was "officially off the rails."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />"My intent was just to beg for your permission for about 30 seconds," Bradford said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />"Then beg," Metcalfe responded, "don't touch."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Bradford - who has a wife and four children - later said he had simply sought to stop Metcalfe from interrupting him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">WTF? A guy with a wife and kids can't be a homosexual? What a narrow-minded and provincial attitude. Hey, Levy! The 1950s called and they want their prejudices back!</span><br />

"I have strong views of my own, but I don't think that's an excuse to go into a diatribe. ... It's not isolated, it's not a singular incident, it's not because someone touched his arm."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Metcalfe told The Philadelphia Inquirer that Bradford, for months, has been continually touching him and that he has asked him to stop.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />"If someone touches another person, and they say, 'stop touching me,' and they don't stop, that's serious business," Metcalfe told the Inquirer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Exactly. No means no, right? </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Except when Democrasses see a political cudgel, obviously.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />Metcalfe's committee meetings often erupt in rancor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />In one incident, Metcalfe pressed legislation to make English the official language of Pennsylvania and invited someone he identified as a "white nationalist" to testify in favor of it. He has pressed immigration legislation to stem what he called the "illegal alien invasion" and clashed several times with an openly gay lawmaker.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Bottled up in his committee is legislation banning discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation in employment, housing and public services.</span><br />

<div class="_AXc">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's amazing how complicated simple principles can become when they're inconvenient to your team.<br />
<br />
On Sunday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi created a mess for herself by insisting on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Rep. John Conyers deserves "due process" in the face of a series of accusations of improper conduct.<br />
<br />
Politically, Pelosi's performance was a gift to her many critics. For liberals who think she's passed her sell-by date as a Democratic leader, her hapless effort will now be Exhibit A in the brief against her, despite her subsequent efforts to clean up the mess.<br />
<br />
For populists on the left and right who think the political establishment is rigged to protect members of the club, Pelosi's effort to protect Conyers — and Sen. Al Franken, who has also been accused of several sexual transgressions — while at the same time insisting that we know all we need to know about President Trump and Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is simply a naked partisan double standard.<br />
<br />
"We are strengthened by due process," Pelosi insists when the topic is Conyers. But Moore is "a child molester."<br />
<br />
This raises the most dismaying gift that Pelosi lobbed to the mob. By circling the wagons around Conyers and Franken (and Bill Clinton to some extent), Pelosi is all but guaranteeing the election of Moore.<br />
<br />
It is difficult to exaggerate the anger among many Republicans who believe that liberals use the rules selectively, shamelessly invoking standards of conduct to delegitimize and destroy their enemies while exempting their own. "Zero tolerance" for thee, "it's complicated" for me.<br />
<br />
It was this belief — hardly unfounded — that let millions of Republicans dismiss allegations of sexual abuse against Trump and now Moore. Every day, conservatives angry at my opposition to Moore tell me "we" can't "unilaterally disarm." If they won't play by the rules, why should we?<br />
<br />
This isn't simply a Beltway game. Pelosi is a passionate supporter of Title IX regulations, which have been used to dismantle due process for sexual assault allegations on college campuses. When Education Secretary Betsy DeVos introduced reforms to Title IX, Pelosi denounced them as "outrageous, immoral attacks on Title IX protections" and a "shocking attack on women." Perhaps college students deserve at least as much due process as congressmen?<br />
But as someone who believes pretty much all the accusers so far, I'm not interested in pecking out another column on partisan hypocrisy. These days, that's the easiest column in the world to write.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
Instead, I'd like to point to a possible way out of this mess.<br />
<br />
The philosopher John Rawls famously offered a thought experiment he called the "original position." Imagine you are in some kind of limbo waiting to be born into our world. Hidden behind what he called a "veil of ignorance," you have no idea what "kind" of person you will be — female, male, gay, straight, sickly, healthy, smart, dumb, rich, poor, black, white, etc. What rules would you want for society?<br />
<br />
The point of this exercise is to make you think about what fairness looks like. If there's a good chance you're going to be born poor, you might see the point of having certain protections for the poor. If there's a 50 percent chance you'll be born a woman, you'll probably reject the model of society found in "The Handmaid's Tale." In short, the veil of ignorance allows us see justice through the lens of self-interest.<br />
<br />
I don't like or agree with everything Rawls and his fans have done with this thought experiment, but the original position is nonetheless a useful way of thinking about society.<br />
<br />
We live in a moment beset by tribalisms, from partisanship to myriad forms of identity politics. All of them work on the assumption that neutral rules are unfair or unjust because my tribe is somehow especially noble or your tribe is especially evil.<br />
<br />
The original position is not as original to Rawls as some believe. In fact, it's embedded in the very idea of classical liberalism, because it presupposes that we should all be equal in the eyes of God and the government, and that therefore the rules of the society should be fair for everybody — and applied to everybody equally. It's a simple principle, but everyone wants to make it complicated these days.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="_AXc">
<span style="font-size: large;">WASHINGTON – As allegations of sexual misconduct against powerful lawmakers roil Congress, House Democrats on Thursday delivered their strongest rebuke yet with calls for Michigan Rep. John Conyers' resignation, while those in the Senate reserved judgment for their embattled colleague, Minnesota Sen. Al Franken.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi characterized the multiple accusations against the 88-year-old Conyers, which included repeated propositions for sex, and retaliation against one former aide who rebuffed his advances, as “serious, disappointing and very credible.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In no uncertain terms, the top Democrat in the House said, “Congressman Conyers should resign,” a call echoed by other Democratic leaders.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Conyers' lawyer, Arnold Reed, swiftly rejected the request as the lawmaker professes his innocence.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Nancy Pelosi did not elect the congressman, and she sure as hell won't be the one to tell the congressman to leave. That decision will be completely up to the congressman,” Reed said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Reed raised the specter of a double standard as House Democrats pressed for Conyers, the longest-serving member of the House and a co-founder of the Congressional Black Caucus, to step aside, while few have called for Franken to relinquish his seat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“At the end of the day, I would suspect that Nancy Pelosi is going to have to explain what is the ... difference between Al Franken and congressman Conyers,” Reed said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Punishment has been swift for titans of entertainment, media and sports, accusations of sexually inappropriate behavior and harassment leading to immediate firings. Not so in Congress, where lawmakers have said ethics panels should have time to investigate and have been reluctant to reverse the will of the voters.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet the clamor was growing, with some House Democrats arguing that if Conyers goes, so should Franken. That demand was made hours after Franken faced a new allegation: An Army veteran accused him of groping her during a USO Christmas tour in the Middle East more than a decade ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Stephanie Kemplin, 41, of Maineville, Ohio, told CNN that Franken had cupped her right breast when she stood next to him for a photo in December 2003. Kemplin, who was deployed to Kuwait at the time, became the fifth woman in two weeks to accuse Franken of sexual misconduct.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Senate Ethics Committee announced on Thursday that it had opened a preliminary investigation into the allegations against Franken, who has apologized and said he welcomes the probe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pelosi's comments came after she faced harsh criticism for calling Conyers an “icon” who has “done a great deal to protect women” during an appearance on “Meet the Press” on Sunday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">By Thursday, the highest-ranking members of the party had upped the ante, from simply backing an ethics investigation and emphasizing the importance of due process for those accused, to calling for Conyers' resignation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Zero tolerance means consequences – for everyone, no matter how great the legacy, it's not license to harass or discriminate,” Pelosi said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a different case of sex and a House member, Rep. Joe Barton, a 17-term Republican from Texas who announced this month he was seeking re-election, decided Thursday that he wouldn't, just a week after a nude photo of him leaked on social media.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Although his House colleagues didn't call for his resignation or suggest he not run again, Barton faced increasing political pressure in his home state to step aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This week, a Republican announced he would run against Barton in next year's primary.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a0dab;">Pelosi suffers face spasms, brain freezes while denouncing Conyers ...</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<h3 class="r">

<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">As the media focus has shifted to the alleged sexual harassers in the Democratic ranks, questions are not going away about Nancy Pelosi's continued bizarre behavior.</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">The House Minority Leader held her weekly press conference, and while the media focused on her call for accused serial harasser John Conyers, they overlooked her frequent flubbed words, brain freezes, and face spasm that occurred seconds into the appearance.</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pelosi began the appearance by walking past a giant sign labeled "GOP tax scam."As she got to the podium, she looked over her left shoulder for the visual, before realizing she had just walked past it.</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">"There it is: the GOP tax scam," she said, her face twitching. </span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seconds later, she called it the "G-O-T" tax scam, before correcting herself.Pelosi misread the sign, saying, "the ACA reform, reform, uh, uh, repeal. Sneaky ACA repeal."</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">She repeated herself several times.She called the tax cut an "attack on the middle class, on Americas jobs - Americans' jobs."</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pelosi slurred "veterans," saying "ever-veterans."</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">After trailing off while talking about an "increase," she said, "So it's not just a crea - increase."</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">While demanding federal funding for her own priorities, Pelosi mistakenly said "wildfail," before correcting herself to say "wildfire."</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">She claimed legislation to protect illegal aliens has "bri-partisan" support.</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pelosi asserted "82 millial" middle class families won't benefit from the plan, before correcting her speech and saying "million."</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">All of this came as she denounced Rep. John Conyers behavior and called for his resignation.</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">After suffering two brain freezes, she made an ironic statement: "How can you judge - judgement be respected if you don't even know what you're talking about?"</span></h3>
<h3 class="r">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's what many Americans must be wondering about Nancy Pelosi these days.</span></h3>

LONDON—Pushed out of power as the damning charges mounted, Alex DeLarge was forced to step down Wednesday as leader of the Droogs amidst allegations of sexual misconduct. “In an unfortunate development, we have been forced to remove Mr. DeLarge from his post due to the startling accusations of sexual impropriety that have come to light,” said Droog member Georgie, explaining that although the group had systems in place to swiftly address such allegations, it clearly did not adequately follow those procedures. “Even though these acts took place decades ago, it does not excuse Alex’s heinous and unforgivable actions. This is not at all what the Droogs stand for.” At press time, DeLarge had offered to undergo two weeks of rigorous aversion therapy to rehabilitate himself.</div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">For several generations we have been
led to believe (admittedly by leftist assholes, for the most part)
that only repressed Christians go around raping and assaulting women
& kids because they believe they think they have the absolute
right to do it...</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #005300; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">And then, suddenly, left-fascist sugar-daddy Harvey Weinstein was fair game. Did the fascist left grow a conscience <i>and</i> a spine simultaneously or are they just pulling a Stalin and eating their own to make way for a new generation of totalitarians? I'm not sure, but if my kids wanted to be actors or an actresses, I'd make sure they knew how to kill to protect themselves. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #005300; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">That's actually good advice for all kiddies of all ages.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Then Kevin Spacey admitted ass-raping a 14 year-old boy...</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Of course, the professional sodomites were horrified - not because one of their own pulled a Sandusky on a little boy ("I'll bet he was sooooo cute!") but because La Spacey ('cuz he might only be a top when it comes to little boys) took the occasion of his kinda sorta confession to proclaim his enthusiasm for non-Euclidean sex.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Of course, all this is speculation, just like the allegations against Roy Moore...</span></div>
