Now that is a W. I think several of my LGBT friends will like the decision.
As a gay man, I've very happy that same-sex marriage's legal in their country. People of the same sex deserve to love each other. More power to the community.

I am a part of the Christian right. Being gay is a part of who you are and any discrimination is unacceptable. I'm not like my fellow right wing Christians who condemn it. Those people are discriminatory idiots. And that goes against the Bible teaching to love thy neighbor.

Corruption investigators and prosecutors raid the central Seoul residence of recently impeached President of South Korea Yoon Suk Yeol to arrest him for refusing to show to three court summons. The raid is unsuccessful due to the Presidential Security Service blocking further entrance, leading to a multi-hour standoff.

Welp... no arrest today.

President Joe Biden formally blocked a proposed $14.9 billion takeover of U.S. Steel by a Japanese company, the White House announced Friday.

“It is my solemn responsibility as President to ensure that, now and long into the future, America has a strong domestically owned and operated steel industry that can continue to power our national sources of strength at home and abroad; and it is a fulfillment of that responsibility to block foreign ownership of this vital American company,” Biden said in a statement announcing the move.

Biden has long opposed the sale to Japan’s Nippon Steel, and the choice to block the deal rested solely in his hands after the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States did not reach a conclusion in its report last week.

Then why vote for someone who clearly wants to take those rights away?

Three of Mike Johnson’s fellow Republicans voted against their party’s nominee to lead the House, despite an endorsement from President-elect Donald J. Trump. Two changed their votes after a delay on the House floor, securing his victory.

So why identify with "the Christian Right" when right-wing Christians are in direct opposition to Jesus's words about greed, judging others, etc? Why vote for a guy who couldn't possibly be any further away from what Jesus preached?

President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced on 34 counts of falsifying business records ahead of his swearing-in on Jan. 20, a judge ruled Friday.

The decision to schedule the sentencing Jan. 10 almost certainly means Trump will be the first felon to serve as a U.S. president.

New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan wrote in his ruling that he does not intend to sentence Trump to jail.

A new low in mainstream media's post-Trump meltdown
And here's what Ann Telnaes wrote about it:

Interesting read for sure.

The Green Beret who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel this week in Las Vegas and took his own life had written that he wanted to send a “wake-up call” to the country, the authorities said on Friday.

In notes recovered by investigators from one of his phones and made public on Friday, the soldier, Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger, praised President-elect Donald J. Trump and wrote that “our soldiers are done fighting wars without end states or clear objectives.”

On New Year’s Day, he pulled the Tesla, which was packed with explosives, into the driveway of the hotel and fatally shot himself before the vehicle went up in flames, injuring seven bystanders and stirring alarm far beyond Las Vegas.

They say it's not capitalism but it sure does seem to have the same problem as Western European capitalism. Workers with all the qualifications but no jobs to go into

Vogue editor Dame Anna Wintour, U2 frontman Bono and billionaire George Soros are among those who have received America's highest civilian honour from outgoing President Joe Biden.

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined actors Denzel Washington and Michael J Fox as they also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a White House ceremony.

Nineteen people received the honour this year, spanning the worlds of culture, politics and activism.

The White House said the recipients had been chosen because are they are "good people who have made extraordinary contributions to their country and the world".
