Is it impertinent to ask what rights they do not have? Apparently the right to assemble is secure. Also, free speech? Freedom of relgion? Freedom of association? What rights exactly are they denied?

The right to be in your face about their lifestyle choice. That's the one they crave.

We've lived in both DuPage County and in the St. Louis metro area. This (except for the city of Aurora) was unimaginable when we were there 30 years ago.
But so glad there is some official excuse to shoot people (by the way, where are all the gun control people?????)

Also, the pictures I saw showed only two "sisters" on the field. I thought this was supposed to be a big group with chapters around the country.
Seems like they mainly exist as a newsroom construct.

They are an org that has multiple chapters. Our fave fabulous baggage handler, Sam Brinton, is a member of the DC chapter.

If I was on the Dodgers ground crew, the entire area that those two dudes walked would be drenched in Holy Water. I might consider asking for a visit of the Diocesan exorcist.

I'm not saying they don't exist, just saying that like ghey / trans "percentage of population" in general, their numbers are vastly inflated by the lamestream media.

The fact that the Dodgers organization did this is pathetic enough, but anybody with a brain noticed it was done well enough before the game started, so of course there will be few people in the stands (and no players in the dugout).

#7 oh - absolutely. However the Satanists are having some success in back filling those inflated numbers with their indoctrination centers. Kind of a "fake it til ya make it" strategy.

Numbers attending supplied by the home team are always suspect. They do not mean the numbers in the stands, rather it indicates the number who bought tickets both past and present.
[Townhall] After many years of working in the policy world, I have concluded that politics is at most 10% about making the world better and safer. The rest is at least 45% theater and 45% catering to special interest groups. Further evidence for my assessment comes from the recent grandstanding in the U.S. Senate on rail safety.
One reason why so much of what comes out of Congress is useless, if not straight-up destructive, boils down to incentives. Politicians need something they can brag about when they seek reelection or election to higher office. Meanwhile, legislators are constantly surrounded by special interests who plead for government-granted privileges such as subsidies, loan guarantees, tariffs, or regulations cleverly designed to hamstring competitors. Politicians rarely hear from the victims of their policies. Few voters can trace the origin of the higher prices they pay and the lower living standards they suffer.
Enter the Rail Safety Act, a joint product of Sens. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio. This bill, introduced in early May, is touted as a legislative response to the February freight train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. What the bill does have is an awful lot in it for unions to like. For instance, it would freeze train crew sizes (the opposite of efficiency and something unions were demanding long before the derailment) and require more inspections that can only be performed by, you guessed it, union workers.
These regulations might appeal to some people, but let's not pretend they will make the railroad industry more effective. Instead, they would make freight more expensive, potentially pushing more of it toward trucking (a dirty and more dangerous mode of transport). More frustrating is that none of these measures would prevent what is the leading cause of derailment in the United States -- namely, human error.
The solution to human error is more automation rather than more people.

critical point: "20 heavily armed IRS agents from multiple states in our region served a warrant before his business opened. They took dozens of boxes full of 4473s — more than a decade’s worth. This is extremely concerning because it seemingly exceeds the search warrant which limited the scope of the search to financial records.
These aren’t financial records, they’re records of lawful firearm purchases. What the hell does the IRS need with 4473s?
[Red State] NBC broke a fascinating story about Joe Biden and China, according to their sources. This raises all kinds of questions, including about who is in charge at the White House.
Joe Biden wanted to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the days after the U.S. military shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina — even saying publicly that he expected to do so — but his top national security advisers talked him out of it, according to two senior administration officials and one former senior U.S. official familiar with the discussions.
Biden believed his relationship with Xi could help tamp down the newly escalated tensions with Beijing if he had the opportunity to speak directly and smooth things over, the officials said. But the president’s advisers made the case to him that it was not the right time for a leader-to-leader conversation, the officials said. Instead, Biden’s advisers told him, the best course of action was to begin outreach to Beijing with lower or midlevel officials, and work the way up to the top, according to the officials.
The first question I have is who spied on who here? It’s the Chinese who spied on us and have been making all kinds of aggressive moves. Yet Biden acts like we’re the ones in the wrong here. Like he has to go "smooth things over" (in the words of the officials) and kowtow to the Chinese.
As I reported at the time, Biden said the U.S. wasn’t "looking for conflict". But that’s the exact time you’re supposed to make a strong face to the Chinese, not act like everything is normal when they’ve made some pretty offensive and aggressive moves toward us. This is the height of weakness from Biden, and it’s a big loss of face to the Chinese. No wonder they think they can run right over him. He also said the relationship hadn’t taken a "big hit" and he knew that because he spoke to them.

If Andy Warhol was living he could do a screen print of Biden’s face in a similar way to what Andy did with Marilyn Monroe. It would be the old geezer Joe picture, the one where he is looking up in a confused way like a bald eagle chick that got no chunk of raccoon roadkill and instead got sprayed in the eyes with Raid. Picture that version of Joe repeated in about 64 frames at two different angles and we have Diptyque of Dipstick.

China celebrates its cultural superiority as it helped promote the ideas of the American left to denegrate our own culture, and "...bring an end to the “victory culture” that had been the narrative of American history from its colonial founding through World War II. The undeniable success of the United States in becoming the lead nation in the lead civilization of the modern era must be discredited and overturned because it is not based on leftist ideas."
[BLAZE] White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called herself a "historic figure," who "cannot fail" in recent interviews with correspondents assigned to cover the White House. Talking Mop says..
This week, Jean-Pierre gave an interview to theGrio — a self-described media network "focused on the African American community" and to amplify "black culture."
Gerren Keith Gaynor — a White House Correspondent for theGrio — interviewed Jean-Pierre for an article on the site titled: "Karine Jean-Pierre talks having ’swag’ and the hardest job in the White House."
Jean-Pierre told Gaynor, "Ron Klain, the former chief of staff, used to say to me, 'You have the hardest job in this building.'" She added, "It is not for everyone." "You make Jen Psaki look competent. That's saying something!"
Gaynor wrote, "Speaking for the president sometimes includes defending him and his record when challenged by the press or others. Though it’s a position one could easily find daunting, Jean-Pierre acknowledged that her confidence, or as theGrio puts it, her 'swag' in the role has grown over time."

Everyone participates in history to some small extent. House Press Secretaries are on the apparatchik level with respect to creating history. A baseball equivalent would be a utility infielder on the AAA roster. Press Secretaries might appear in a video about a historical event not because they are making history themselves but because they belch out historical statements in an atmosphere of chaos as presidencies have bad stuff happen. KJP thinks that she is a historical figure due to her identity, but her biography will reside in the 40% off pile in Barnes and Nobles until they pulp the majority of the printing. She will appear in plenty of historical video, though, as a kind of a flailing chia pet of incompetent damage control while the Biden regime unravels in slow motion like the wreck of Steve Austin’s space vehicle.

Some journalist might track down Baghdad Bob for a curiosity piece like the magazine article of the Hillbilly that took hostages at the golf club to try to get Ronald Reagan to talk to him. At best, KJP has a future like the Thamesmen after her obligatory cable news show fails.

[Courageous Discourse] On Friday June 9, 2023, I returned to the Pennsylvania Senate on request by former military officer and American hero, Senator Doug Mastriano (R-33). The session was co-chaired by Senator Cris Dush (R-25). Co-presenters included Steve Kirsch, Founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, and attorney Tom Renz. I organized my comments along the lines of this outline:
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
