We mentioned a week or so back that he wants to spend twenty million buckarinos on attacking and unseating &#8211; Democrats?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A Democratic National Committee panel voted to void its election of David Hogg as vice chair of the Democratic Party on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The initial vote comes after mounting internal criticism of Hogg, though party officials say the vote was based on a procedural challenge made in February claiming Hogg and another official were improperly elected. The DNC will vote later this year on whether to remove Hogg.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/democratic-national-committee-panel-voids-104855828.html\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, procedural grounds.

Not something I really know about or have seen any tangible evidence to support (I refuse to watch it, like most) but in general the far left tend to dilute their religion with liberalisms like abortion, gay rights, trannies, etc.<\/p>\n<p>But as you may have noticed, we recently lost the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis. He was pretty much adored by the left as a liberal Jesuit, and the inbound Poe Leo XIV has occasionally not been terribly supportive of the LGBTQWERTY folks.\u00a0 Apostasy! Sin! Heresy! Not against the Church, maybe , but against the liberal canon that All Queers Are Good &#8211;\u00a0 definitely suspect, and possibly ready for a rainbow Inquisition.\u00a0 Enter Sonny Hostin\u00a0 of The View:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After Pope Leo was announced on Thursday, Hostin said she was &#8220;concerned&#8221; about the LGBTQ community based on a statement he made in 2012 as a bishop where he described how pop culture had fostered &#8220;sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel,&#8221; including the &#8220;homosexual lifestyle&#8221; and &#8220;alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hostin had previously expressed concerns about the new pontiff on Friday after his comments referencing the &#8220;homosexual lifestyle&#8221; resurfaced. On Monday, she spoke more optimistically about Pope Leo after learning his maternal grandparents were described as &#8220;people of color&#8221; on documents, with his grandfather\u2019s original birthplace listed as Haiti.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As it turns out, our new American pope has Haitian and Black roots! So, we actually have a Black pope, apparently. It&#8217;s a chef&#8217;s kiss for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And it&#8217;s good to have a Black pope,&#8221; Hostin chimed in.<\/p>\n<p>She again touted that he is a &#8220;Black pope&#8221; when other co-hosts shared their excitement about Pope Leo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Has she LOOKED at him?<\/p>\n<p>Lady, (and I use the term advisedly) he&#8217;s somewhat paler than Gary Busey&#8230; only way he is a Black Pope is if you use the negative of his photo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Always entertaining, aren&#8217;t they?
