There's no reaching across the aisle anymore. That time is long gone. Treat these people with the complete lack of respect and decorum they deserve. Believe them when they continually keep telling you who they are.

YOU MUST PARTICIPATE, COMRADE!

 

 

Idrissa Gueye is a Senegalese footballer who plays for his country and for the French side Paris Saint-Germain.

 

On Sunday 15th May, Paris Saint-Germain played Montpellier. On that day, players in the French Ligue 1 were meant to wear football jerseys with the numbers in LGBT rainbow colours in order to commemorate the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. Unexpectedly, Mr Gueye did not play in that match. So far as I can find out with my limited ability to search news reports in French, he has not said why he sat out the match, but it is widely believed that it was because he felt that it would be incompatible with his religious beliefs to wear a shirt in Pride colours. He is a practising Muslim.

 

This is the really sinister–one might say Stalinist–part:

 

Via Paul Embery, I found this quotation from a letter that the FFF (Fédération Française de Football / French Football Federation) sent to Mr Gueye on May 17th:

There are two possibilities, either these allegations are unfounded and we invite you to speak out without delay to silence these rumours. For example, we invite you to accompany your message by a photo of yourself wearing said shirt.

 

Or the rumours are true. In this case we invite you to realise the impact of your act, and the grave error committed. The fight against discrimination towards different minorities, whoever they might be, is a vital fight for all times. Whether it’s skin colour, religion, sexual orientation, or any other difference, all discrimination is based on the same principle which is rejection of the other because they are different from the majority.

 

By refusing to take part in this collective operation, you are effectively validating discriminatory behaviour, and rejection of the other, and not just against the LGBTQI+ community. The impact of football on society and the capacity for footballers to be a role model for those who admire them gives us all a particular responsibility.

 

 

For the Left, it is not enough that fellow leftists show solidarity in the cause du jour. All must be forced to participate. No one can sit on the sidelines. Why? Because holdouts might stimulate questions from those who wonder whether the Left’s causes are really righteous. That can’t be permitted. Unanimity is required.

 

Ms. Solent writes:

One does not have to share Mr Gueye’s religious beliefs, or his (probable) opinions on LGBT issues, to see something sinister in this demand that he make a display of loyalty to prove his “innocence” of a charge that he did not participate in what is effectively the visual equivalent of compelled speech.

A decision bigger than guns and abortion looms

by Don Surber

 

 

The press has focused on the Dobbs case because the Supreme Court will use it to sweep Roe v. Wade into the dustbin of history. The ruling will bring a lot of emotion from both sides, as 49 years of prayer finally are answered. Likewise, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen will get a lot of attention because the association likely will succeed in ending New York's draconian restrictions on carrying a pistol to protect oneself.

 

(snip)

 

The Supreme Court case that matters the most this year is West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency.

The real impact of this has nothing at all to do with CO2 or global warming.

 

It has the potential to fundamentally change how our government operates.

 

Right now congress passes law that simply command some unelected bureaucracy to draft regulations to address problem X. The bureaucracy than decides what rules it wants, how to apply them, how to punish those who question them and reserve to themselves the ability to change the rules, write nee rules, expand their oversight, reinterpret the original law however they like and far too often to simply invent new law to allow them to take up even more power.

 

All with little or no congressional or voter influenced oversight.

 

This case might force these unelected and unregulated agencies actually get congressional approval before they can implement these rules.

 

Thats a huge win for all of us.

 

Congress has foisted off the actual work of rule making to unelected toadies for far too long. Make them do their jobs, and more importantly, make them responsible for the consequences of those rules.

WATCH: 'Marxist-Leninist' revolutionaries forecast 'bloodshed' at pro-abortion protest

 

Syracuse University students held a pro-abortion protest last month that advocated for socialism and abolishing the Supreme Court.

What I love most about this debate is the talking point about how we can't allow nine unelected judges comprising SCOTUS to take away rights while failing to comprehend that it was a ruling by a different group of nine unelected judges comprising SCOTUS that provided those rights in the first place.  So objecting to the judicial process seems a hypocritical and perhaps clueless.
