  1. Jews also are having a field day in the Court. Before this latest tenure there were only five Jewish judges in history and with Breyer, Kagan and Bader Ginzburg there were three at the same time. Dare I say the liberal Protestants got so carried away with all the equality talk they completely missed how Catholics & Jews have dominated the Supreme Court in XXI century I'm pretty sure Sotomayor's gender and ethnicity was more important than her religion. And Trump follows the same path now, with Coney Barrett he picks a woman and that silences like half of the liberals who want women empowerement on the spot.
  2. Yeah but since when religious freedom equals to democracy of the religion itself? If you want to force a religious choice just because it should be balanced (like 3 Catholics, 3 Muslims & 3 Jews) then its no longer a freedom of religion to begin with. Democracy wants to control so many choices by default it actually destroys the freedom of choice its supposed to protect. Rejecting a judge because he displays the wrong faith and "we have too many Catholics" on the Court doesn't sound too democratic at all. The biggest myth for me is why there were no Asian-Americans every appointed to the Court. Probably USA is scared of having a Chinese mole there or the anti-Japanese bias is bigger than the anti-Catholic bias.
  3. My impression is that in the Anglo-Saxon world Catholics get viewed as "conservative" or "bigoted" all the time tbh. That's the stereotype and Catholicism is viewed as more religious extreme than Islam. Olympian1010 posted this tweet to clearly indicate that having 6 Catholics on the Supreme Court would be a bad thing (since he never posts anything positive about conservatives), I imagine having 6 Muslim judges would be a sign of religious tolerance though
  4. This is some old stereotype about Catholics in USA, like it's 16th century or something. I mean Sonia Sotomayor is a Catholic too and she's considered one of the most liberals on the Court?
  5. Going back to Andreea Mitu I mentioned, she made 32 ITF finals of various sort - 15 of them in Romania You have to take advantage of the schedule and ITF points system. However ITF realizes how big the travel issues are for these second-tier players. There are tournaments played in Cairo and Sharm-El-Sheikh virtually all year. And countries like Italy, Spain or Turkey are doing the same. Hell, even Poland stages these ITFs with Czechs and Russians playing here all the time. Jelena Ostapenko lost to Oceane Dodin in the Zawada 25k final only 2,5 years before winning Roland Garros

  7. Is Zarazua based in USA? As a clay speciallist it's gonna be very tough for her to crack Top 100 playing these clay ITFs in South America tbh. This is why some equally second-tier clay experts from Czech Republic, Italy or Spain have an easier path to Top 100. Someone like Andreea Mitu cracked Top 70 winning a bunch of clay 25k & 10k all over Europe back in the day
  8. D.Binder has three crash DNFs in five races here Lowes has stopped crashing this season save for the banzai move in Styria so he might yet spoil your bingo
  9. Bendsneyder was 14th on the grid here last year so above average for NTS. Catalunya is usually a crash-fest for bikes due to these sweeping bends that take away the grip so let's see if BB picks up a rare point just by staying upright. I wouldn't rule this out tbh.
  10. Olga Vilukhina is reinstated as the 2014 Olympic Games silver medallist in the sprint. Likewise Olga Zaitseva and Yana Romanova's results have been reinstated. However the relay & mixed relay DQ have been upheld Zaitseva's life-time ban is also lifted. https://www.bbc.com/sport/winter-sports/54286190
  11. I didn't say SDS should have replaced either Calderon or Floersch in that car since obviously it wasn't a Porsche. But in the Pro-Am days it doesn't take much to put these usless ride buyers out there and nobody has an issue with it while you seem to dismiss Simona as backmarker who can't do better than Danica frickin' Patrick.
  12. That's why I said about the wording used. El Tabakh is Egyptian but simply doesn't represent Egypt anymore.
  13. Well, very crucial wording about "representing" Egypt because Heidi El Tabakh did it a lot sooner already
  14. Patrick had her moments? Please... that's PR crap for ignorants. Motegi win was all down to cars around her saving fuel. Plus she burned all the IndyCar bridges after she jumped for NASCAR money. She was a total wash & a publicity stunt in NASCAR, she achieved 7 Top 10s in 191 races, her replacement Aric Almirola needed 16 races to match that total Tatiana Calderon hasn't showed much in ladder series in Europe and Floersch got more publicity due to her Macau crash more than anything. Simona de Silvestro doesn't have the PR stunt and has hang it out against the toughest without the lucky breaks. HVM was a low-tier team and the Lotus engine foray was a total disaster. But she had a 2nd place on merit in Houston. I'm not saying she would be ultra successful at Le Mans but she's way more accomplished than Calderon and Floersch will ever be IMO. In my 30 years of watching motor sports two women have shown the mettle to mix it with the big boys, Ellen Lohr and Simona de Silvestro. Everyone else is 2nd tier allthough I didn't see enough of Christina Nielsen to have a full opinion on her (btw, Nielsen was also missing at Le Mans, I suppose the fire at Daytona 24h literally burned down her season too?).
  15. Guess the word "peaceful protests" won't be much used anymore. Unless of course BLM lobbyists support shooting police officers out of pure anger and call that peaceful?
  16. That costs money. And how do you want to push on with that when BLM lobbyists advocate to take the money away from police? Less money but hey, let's buy cameras for everyone That's zero economical logic. Again, the main knock on police is they use guns when their adversaries use knifes, tasers or bottles - so they have unfair weapon advantage. Here is a guy who actually fires at the police from a handgun and it's still not enough to give the cops a pass. That's insane. Taylor's BF made a fatal mistake, he started firing when his GF was unarmed and there's nobody else to blame but him, period. That's my final post on the matter and I'm happy the US law system agrees with me and no murder charges will be pressed.
  17. The price of electricity will probably go up 90% if not 900% in a corresponding move
  18. Why didn't Porsche enter Simona de Silvestro? She's the fastest and most reliable female driver of the past decade plus, way above the overrated Danica Patrick or the W Series graduates. Meanwhile Zach Veach is out at the #26 Andretti Autosport entry (poor results and crash repair bill stacking up). If Sergio Perez can't hook up at Haas in F1 there's a solid IndyCar opening for 2021 right here. We know Andretti is more than comfortable fielding internantional drivers. Something for @mrv86 to watch out
  19. The fault lies with her boyfriend. If he thought he's the only one having a gun in this situation he made a fatal mistake. There's nobody else to blame but him. Of course they cops fired back when someone fired at them first. What are they supposed to do? Get shot dead so BLM lobbyists could celebrate? This is a classic-case of self-defense. No wonder no murder charges are being pressed because the boyfriend voided them by firing that first shot. Simple case for any beginner attorney tbh.
  20. Actually less. He's a businessman first and foremost and he doesn't hide it. The Kennedys, Clintons and all other political families are supposedly "servants of the nation" yet they got filthy rich doing this service. A fucking postman is a servant of the nation too and he's a beggar compared to these political bozos.
  21. Taylor's boyfriend admitted to firing the first shot. That's the end of the story. Even BLM lobbyists can't spin this around, when you fire the first shot you are NOT the victim, period.
  22. I'm giving you hard numbers. You can't argue the maths. And I'm not trying to convince the convinced. US society turned down the Clinton charm in 2016 without my influence
  23. Yup and that's #1 reason I don't believe social inequality will ever be fixed. That wealth gap will only grow. And this is the USA chart from 1989-2013. The spike starts in 1996 so I suppose this is the effect of Clinton's 1996 Welfare Reform Act? But this actually widened the gap as the rich got richer more then the poor There's politics and there's reality. 2008 was of course the global crisis which stopped the growth for a while.
  24. Of course they are. The 2,000+ world billionaires own more than the rest 4,6 BILLION people combined! Forbes ranks Trump as 700th something so he's in this club and doing very well. World Economic Forum says so and you're gonna question them? https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/worlds-billionaires-have-more-wealth-46-billion-people As for Trump running USA as his own company I told you the federal system makes it very possible and he takes advantage of it. He's not tied to any party groups or lobbyists so he can put his ego in front of everything else like he's done his entire life. Bankrupt 7 times? Who cares? You voted him for President and Hilary Clinton wasted 20+ years of holding onto Bill's coat-tails for this clown to smoke her in the elections
