I can't believe a jury in Texas of all places went along with that madness.

I can't confirm, but I read elsewhere that the father was asking for sole custody of the child. That may have been a bridge too far for the jury.

But who knows. We're in clown world now.

Neo, return of the vast right wing conspiracy? How like Hollywood, no imagination these days.

[Tom R]

I think he considers the prog leadership (at least the respectable ones who wear suits, not the dirty rabble who don't know which fork to use with their salad course) to be his peers, and his friends

Unless the large majority of JOM posters and Trump supporters are horribly misinformed on the true nature of the Progressive movement, what you described is still an act of treachery on Romney's part.

Progressivism is a Marxist based ideology that is incompatible with the Constitution. Any GOP Establishment member who considers Progressive Democrats a peer or friend is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and should be held accountable for their actions.

[sbwaters]

Treachery. I like that word better than treason.

[James D.]

Tom R, I agree with you 100% on that.

And, yes, I think treachery is an excellent word to describe Mitt. It's about the kindest one I can think of, actually.

Porch, I never heard of a jury deciding a child custody case at all. Is that just a Texas thing, or does it happen elsewhere?

I had a two hour dinner with Bill Taylor when I was in Kiev last month. What an impressive man - a true patriot who didn’t have to come out of retirement to accept this difficult assignment. But he did, because he loves his country.

Porch, I never heard of a jury deciding a child custody case at all. Is that just a Texas thing, or does it happen elsewhere?

I haven't either. Usually in family court it's just a judge. But from the LifeSiteNews article:

Dr. Georgulas, who brought the lawsuit, was asking Mr. Younger’s possession schedule be altered to decrease overnight stays and to force his visits with the boys to be supervised. Dr. Georgulas brought the original modification suit to the court and did not request a jury trial. Mr. Younger, in his counter-petition, asked for a jury trial. Since Mr. Younger requested the jury trial, the jury ruled on his specific request for Sole Managing Conservatorship and the judge ruled on all other aspects of the petition as brought by Dr. Georgulas.

What a mess. This poor kid and his dad.

Apparently there are twin boys. How long before the other twin gets transitioned too? BTW they were from a donor egg so they aren't even the mother's bio kids.

Worth reading the whole article: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-jury-rules-against-dad-trying-to-save-his-7-year-old-from-gender-transition

[James D.]

AS far as I'm concerned, this whole transgender madness is the work of the devil.

I can't think of another explanation that makes sense.

henry,

I have 2 grandchildren who got full scholarships courtesy of Governor Mitch Daniels' Hoosier Scholars program. They worked their tails off to get good grades, took extra courses in high school so they would do better on their SAT and ACT tests, got in no trouble for discipline or with the law, and went to school with NO STUDENT LOANS. They got in under their own power, on merit.

You cannot imagine how angry seeing that makes me, much the same as when Brooke Shields went to one of the ivies.

I like the "confiscate their endowments" idea I saw a day or two ago, because the universities are as guilty as the movie stars.

Why aren't the people who TOOK the bribes being charged?

I realize that big Hollywood names get more clicks/viewers in the news, and also that the arrogance and entitlement of Loughlin et al is galling.

But the bribe-takers are far more harmful, and far more guilty, from where I sit, yet they seem to be skating by with no punishment.

[matt - deplore me if you must]

Spent 30 minutes being interviewed by Dr. Drew on the radio this afternoon on the subject of mental health. He's a smart guy and we didn't agree on everything, but we agree on a lot.

Mental health is becoming a major issue, it would seem, for the national media. Here in Greater LA we are at the epicenter of the problems

Stu’s thread’s actually been cycling around the intertubes for quite awhile, MM. First time I’ve seen it sourced to Poland, I’ll admit.

Might be true, might not, but it needs salt.

[MissMarple2]

One thing I learned from that thread of Stu's is that the panic in DC comes from the Deep State creeps suddenly realizing that President Trump, a street fighter, said "F that shit" and started his OWN investigations, separate from the Deep State apparatchiks.

I hope that I win the contest for the dinner in Chicago with the President. I will invite Melinda as my guest and will carry all of your messages to the President.

[MissMarple2]

Melinda,

Well rats! I had hoped that it was new information.

I will say that some of it rings true to me, particularly about Cofer Black.

On the other hand, documentation would be helpful.

Everyone expected the IG report to break last week because that is what Maria Bartiromo reported. If that was an intended deception by Team Trump to get the Democrats to prematurely show their hand then that is more proof he has this rollout all planned out.
