The Hall of Fire

In response to that news and to statements from French President Emmanuel Macron, some people have noted that the Mississippi law struck down yesterday was less restrictive of abortion than French law. That's true! The irony here is very deep. Had the recently proposed bill on abortion been as sens...

No, I don't plan to address those or any issues. My plan is to stay out of discussions. In this case, the urge to counter incorrect (as I saw them) statements overcame my better intentions.

This is not about "life", this is about enforcing gender roles in the service of theocracy. I've observed in recent years and can say without hyperbole that, in my view, the Left have no understanding of the Right; the above is a prime example. I don't doubt that this is what it looks lik...

A position with minority support imposed on the entire population against their will be a rapist appointed to the court by a president who attempted a violent coup That isn't accurate. It was actually Roe that imposed a position on the entire population. This returns the question to the states, whe...

To be clear, I did not understand that my request would mean altering the history of the board (which I would not want, either).

I'm not going to remove you from the membership. You are, of course, welcome to stay away, but I would prefer that you continue to post, if you can do so respectfully. There was nothing disrespectful about my post. Please honor my request to be removed from membership. It was my choice to join, it ...

Voronwë, I've checked the control panel and can't find a way to de-member myself. Could you please remove me from membership? Thanks.

I'm telling you to stop using insulting language. Period. There is nothing insulting about 'global elite.' global 1 a : of, relating to, or involving the entire world elite 1 d : a group of persons who by virtue of position or education exercise much power or influence in a society According to Cha...

So, you are banning the term 'global elite,' or what, exactly?

I wouldn't dream of modifying my use of words based on what someone tells me other people say. I know what I mean by the words I use, and I have stated what I mean as clearly as I am able, and that is an end of the matter to me.

It does not mean Jews. We had a discussion of this a short time ago, somewhere; Túrin succinctly characterized what is understood by the phrase, and anyone who is sincerely interested in understanding what is meant by this can take the time to scroll through some threads.

If there is one thing everyone should understand at this point, it's that the nation is divided. One half of the country sees things differently than the other half sees them. How you view the election and the lawsuits from your global elitist perspective (or however you would prefer to characterize...

Do the publications questioning the lack of a concession not understand that there are recounts and court cases pending, and that it would make no sense for Trump to concede before these recounts and court cases reach their conclusions? Did Al Gore concede before his recount in a single state was co...

"Polling is difficult and imperfect, which is evidence that mainstream media outlets are dishonest and biased" is certainly a very post-Trump way of viewing the world. Polling aside, there is, imo, no question that the media is biased. And yes, the degree to which it has abandoned even a ...

Logically speaking, the mainstream media narrative being pushed now is probably just as accurate as the polling narrative they pushed for months, considering that the underlying bias is the same.

Incidentally, Philadelphia did *not* halt counting overnight. They have live webcams of their poll workers to prove it. The whole accusation is just the usual social media bullshit. My post about vote-counting being stopped was based in part on a post by Voronwë which mentioned counting being stopp...

I'd imagine the reaction amongst some might sound similar to this: All of the swing states have Republican Governors and Secretaries of State, who will control the voting processes in those states. Eighty percent of votes will be cast on electronic voting machines that are owned by Republican-leani...

It's really not suspicious at all. We were repeatedly told in advance that the vote would not be all counted tonight. And I think that as a general matter, boards of election in urban areas are underfunded and understaffed compared to other districts. And yet I can just imagine the reaction if thre...

It's tremendously upsetting and suspicious that they are stopping the vote count in these vital areas where the process is controlled by Democrats and Trump is leading. Normally vote counting would continue long into the night. I've just heard a report that poll workers are walking out of a building...
