If a person laments that they are a victim, in this narcissistic age, it should be a red flag that they are likely a perpetrator - Ginger Coy















What I find interesting about the Newsoms is that they both relentlessly promote liberal/left ideologies that are corrosive to family formation and undermine traditional values. However, at the same time, they've been in a heterosexual marriage for 20+ years and have 4 children together. By those measures, they are more "trad" in terms of their own lifestyle than most Americans are, even a lot of conservatives aren't married with 4 kids. So what that tells me is the Newsoms KNOW that the traditional family model is the best; that's why they chose it when they both could've chosen anything else. But as elites they still promote insidious ideologies that end up harming the ordinary people who listen to them. It's a perfect illustration of "luxury beliefs."



The Vatican (Holy See) itself has not directly paid settlements for clergy sexual abuse—these are handled by local dioceses, archdioceses, and religious orders worldwide. In the U.S. alone (per CARA/Georgetown University data through 2023, plus later reports), Catholic Church entities have spent over $5 billion on related claims, with ~75% going to victims. Global totals are higher but not centrally tracked.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP COULD FLIP HISTORIC FAILURE INTO HISTORIC DEAL Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen outlines the unlikely but possible path to a Middle East reset. If China and the U.S. race to be the region's peacemaker, Trump could reframe a catastrophic defeat as the greatest deal of his presidency, but only if he's willing to share the Middle East rather than dominate it. "What creates peace is a balance of power... the biggest threat to peace after the Cold War was the U.S. itself, no one left to constrain it." The question isn't who wins the Middle East. It's who's willing to share it. @Glenn_Diesen
