All reports from the time describe her as practically white in appearance, with most saying she could have easily passed as white. She was like a quadroon or whiter.

Still very serious doubts surround these 200+ year old salacious allegations. We’ll likely never know the truth.

fricking clown media still reporting it as a "she".

AP article I just read refers to that sick monster as ‘her” and “she” throughout. Not one mention of the fact that it was a dude pretending to be a girl. fricking disgusting.

They’re gonna run out of old movies and TV shows to remake with black, female. gay, and other minority leads soon.

well my original guess was because he's white but he was at Istrouma and very involved in the black community so that wouldn't make sens

That doesn’t matter. He’s still white, and (registered) Republican.

The dude bent over backwards to appeal to black and democrat voters. Just look at the people he surrounded himself with. Lots of black and old guard BR democrats. All in the spirit of ‘working together’ and ‘crossing party lines’. That shite doesn’t work with black libs. It’s party and race first. They cannot allow a white repub to claim any success (real or perceived) under their watch.

Facts. Unfortunately, bad kids with zero home training and no respect for adults or authority get thrown in with ‘special ed’

This will backfire just like the body cams. I’m all in favor of the cameras, but it’s not going to work out like some people think it will.

Some kids simply should not be in school with regular kids.

Lowest crime rate in years. Safer than ever. That’s what we hear every day, even when they’re reporting on another shooting, robbery, or murder.

This is the kind of romantic quirkiness that attracts all of those carpetbagging, pit bull fostering, pink haired, hipster white kids to the charming little neighborhood known as the bywater.

I remember when JBE pitched himself as a ‘moderate’. Then he showed his true colors.

Give her time. She’s surrounded by all of the usual, old guard, hard left. Yes, she looks great in comparison to the blatant grifter Teedy, but never forget that she’s a liberal Democrat first, and it won’t take long before she has to prove herself to her people. It probably won’t take long, either, considering what’s going on at the national level. She will have to ‘pick a side’, and it won’t be the one that republicans are on.

Don’t forget “far right’.

Funny how you never hear the term ‘far left’ used in the media. Only ‘center left’ at worst, even for avowed socialists/communists.

Over 80% are Latino, and that equals high diversity? I guess diversity just means having less white people. We know that is what they have always meant by diversity, just surprised they are outright saying it.

Exactly. ‘Diverse’ means ‘not-white’. Doesn’t matter what race or ethnicity. Just not white. One of the the many distortions and whole cloth created new terns now recognized as part of the the English language. It’s disgusting.

That covers probably 85% of them.

There’s a reason Trump is attempting to rule by executive order. He’s never had the support of his own party, in this or the previous term, despite majorities in house and senate both times. They’re just waiting him out like last time, and they’re ashamed he got elected. It’s pathetic.

First game, tips for ticket buying

Posted by Nature Boy on 12/4/25 at 2:50 pm

I have zero interest in the NBA, but I was considering taking my nephew who loves it as a Christmas gift. I looked at Ticketmaster and if you go by their site all the decent to good Pels seats are sold out or only available using the ‘resale’ option, and the prices are astronomical.

All I hear is how they suck and the attendance is low, so what gives on the ticket situation? Any tips for landing higher end seats on a one off? Not picky on the opponent. I’ve gotta be missing something. TIA

Therein lies the problem.

There’s a reason this entire term (just like the last one) is almost 100% executive orders.

Our so called Republican House and Senate are not interested in passing (or repealing) any laws. Never have been.
