It reminds of Frau Totenkinder from Fables. She's a witch who gets her power by murdering babies. She claims she can get power by taking a bit of blood from every baby born in Fabletown. However, one character discovers this is a lie and implies she's really getting her power by funding abortion clinics. He says, "How much power does one person need?"

Last time this came up, I did a little back of the envelope math. Their demands would require black Americans be given more than the entire wealth of the world.

The Break with Michelle Wolf is the worst offender. She says that abortion should be as easy as streaming a movie and that abortion clinics should be proud of what they do. She then goes on to have a salute to abortion with a marching band.

Yes, the famous Laconic phrase.

Philip II of Macedonia: "Should I come to Sparta as friend or foe?"

The Ephors of Sparta: "Neither."

Philip II of Macedonia: "If I invade Laconia, I shall turn you out."

The Ephors of Sparta: "If."

I don't know about that. If you were head of the DNC and wanted to make abortion the issue du jour,, here's the points to make:

  • Now that abortion is a state issue, the need to elect anti-life state representatives and governors is more important than ever. If you want your state to repeal/block abortion restriction laws, you need to go to the polls.

  • If the balance of congress was more in the Democrat's favor, conservative justices who would overturn Roe vs Wade would never have gotten appointed. You need to vote so the future court will reverse this decision.

  • If the Democrat's gain control of congress, the supreme court could be expanded. The balance of power would be in Democrat hands.

I don't know, I think these were done by two different people with different opinions. Look at Hawaii. Why would the person remove his top 2 Hawaii beaches from the list, move Poipu Beach from #16 to #1, and introduce Carlsmith Beach?

From what I recall, they believe culture only develops from struggles with oppression. To them, there's no such thing as French or German culture, just a pale imitation of one.

In one of Aydin Paladin's video (I think it's this one, but I don't want to spend 90 minutes rewatching it), she cites a different study. They follow up with minors who believed themselves to be trans and received no intervention when they were 18. 99% of them no longer believed they were trans.

I was curious about what it comes to:

326.69 million Americans x 12.4% black x $151 million = $6.2 quadrillion

Based on what I found online, this is nearly 15 times the total wealth of the entire world.

Russia's kept in a weakened position. If they take Ukraine, they have the Carpathian Mountains as a natural barrier to invasion, have uncontested access to sea trade year-round through Crimea, further secure several natural gas pipelines, and gain access to new sources of oil/natural gas.

His cereal was part of his ideology too. He was part of a group that believed that food that was too flavorful caused people to sin, so he created bland, wholesome Corn Flakes. If he ever knew about Frosted Flakes, he'd probably have a heart attack. Sylvester Graham's teachings inspired the graham cracker for the same reason. However, the modern ones have been improved with honey and cinnamon.

The divide between right and left more or less coincides with rural and urban. There's basically 0% chance this sort of thing isn't happening in the 3rd largest city in the country.
