North Carolina State Senator Bishop compared himself to Oskar Schindler in his efforts to block the use of bathrooms by trans folks.

'World Should Know,' Migrant Tells U.S. Congress of Toddler's Death

I watched Yazmin Juarez speak to Congress, and I wept.

Yazmin came here for the American Dream for her and her daughter, and instead was treated totally shamefully.

We have plenty of room, in Detroit, as well as in Gary, Indiana, and other places, including in Nevada, there is no need to house the people in detention camps nor to cage children. We can bus the people to Detroit and we can set them free, no problem.

And what is amazing, is that Yazmin still wants to live in the USA. Even after what happened.

We are better than this people, we do not need to cage children, nor hold people in detention centers.

Our Statue of Liberty needs to stand for what we are all about, not a wall. No wall.

Let them in. That is what the American Dream is all about.

Salute,

Tony V.

Megan Rapinoe: 'You can't win a championship without gays'

#####

Really?
Wouldn't bet your house on it.

[bambu.]

So, what the hell did fat Serena do now?

Every year its something with this chick.

Yeah, she just keeps winning...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bFVcMenS5E

She allegedly smashed her racquet into a practice court and damaged the surface, got fined $10,000.

Alleged anger, petulance...all bad.

Don't want the racquets?
Give them to the poor.

Seems to be getting 'old and cranky'.
Better "sweet Serena" reappears...the People loved her much better.

Fuck you and the rest of the racist tone police.

$10K fine? Yeah, give her a minute to look in the bottom of her tennis bag.

Y’all wanna give her the “Angry Black Woman” tag? Fine.

She’s earned the right to say fuck all of you.

https://www.vox.com/2015/3/11/8189679/serena-williams-indian-wells-racism

She hasn't earned the right to damage Wimbledon tennis courts [or American ones for that matter.]

Accidentally most likely, but still allegedly damaged the surface.
$10,000 is probably the cost of fixing it.

She should be saying, as she hands over the money, "I'm sorry about that, I was caught up in the moment of a wayward shot".
What about respecting the game of tennis and the Club that is providing the courts?

Matters not skin color, gender, celebrity status...no one is bigger than the game.
There are rules and standards to be adhered to.

The ice is melting faster than expected.

Not good.

Why don't you wait until you hear what the Number 1 radio host has to say before you opine.

No need to wait;

No 1 radio host says that; "The climate is always changing". "[Man made] Climate change/global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind". "First they called it global warming, then when it was pointed out that the globe heats and cools all by itself...they switched to calling it climate change".

[kiidcarter8]

heh

Have you proved Serena is fat yet, KC?   Kid has the kind of lofty goals that make for a memorable life!

Just gave you a pic.

Serena loses mixed doubles third round.  Now can concentrate on her younger, more grounded singles opponents.

Really?
Wouldn't bet your house on it.

How would you avoid having them, oh discriminatory one?

Going to ask them their orientation before they join the team? Going to snoop around their private lives to check on them?!

I'd love to know.

You keep relying on him, Bambi-ignorance. You should invest in low lying seafront property, given your confidence!

Say what you like...the powers that be seem to have had enough of it all...and not before time;

Damaged courts, bad behaviour, abuse of officials, tanking etc.

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/tennis/tomic-stripped-of-wimbledon-first-round-prizemoney-20190704-p524ah.html

London: Tennis great Mats Wilander has urged Bernard Tomic to rediscover his love for tennis after the Australian's troubled career took another turn for the worse.

Tomic was stripped of his prizemoney for not meeting the "professional standard" expected in his first-round loss at Wimbledon.

If I were running the show I would select the best players.
There could come the day that they are not among the best players and don't deserve selection on merit.
What would you like..."gay quotas"?

Can you get any less clueful?!

If they select the best players, some of them are overwhelmingly likely to be gay.

Not because of quotas, but because of the combination of odds plus the change in the odds based on who goes into women's football.

In rugby, the chance of having no lesbians on our women's team are even lower.

Deal with it.
