Ex-Superman Dean Cain calls on DC Comics to make hero fight for gay rights in Iran, instead of ‘bandwagoning’ on bisexual plot — RT USA News

https://www.rt.com/usa/537354-ex-superman-dean-cain/

… Former Superman actor Dean Cain criticized DC Comics’ decision to make the superhero’s son bisexual in a new story, accusing the

publisher of “bandwagoning” and calling on them to make him fight for gay rights in Iran instead.

“They said it’s a bold new direction. I say they’re bandwagoning,”
declared Cain – who played Superman in the 1993-1997 television show ‘Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman’ – during an appearance on Fox News’ ‘Fox & Friends’ on Tuesday.

Noting that other superheroes and their sidekicks have also been portrayed as gay or bisexual in recent years, the actor argued, “I don’t think
it’s bold or brave or some crazy new direction… If they had done this 20
years ago, perhaps that would have been bold and brave.”

Brave would be having him fighting for the rights of gay people in Iran where they’ll throw you off a building for the offense of being gay.

Cain referenced a recent Superman plot where the superhero helped
stop the deportation of refugees in Metropolis and questioned why DC
Comics doesn’t make Superman “fight the injustices that created the refugees whose deportation he’s protesting.”

“That would be brave. I’d read that,” Cain said.

The actor offered a list of other suggestions, including fighting against government corruption or for the rights of women across the world

“Plenty of things to fight against. Human trafficking. Real actual slavery going on,” he said, adding that he “would read that comic,” before concluding, “This one, I don’t think I’ll be reading. I can just watch CNN or MSNBC to get this information.”

Cain, an outspoken conservative who supported former president Donald Trump, has previously criticized attempts to make Superman more politically
correct.

After the comic book news site Comic Book Resources (CBR) called for a non-white person to be cast as Superman in 2019, Cain –
who is partially of Japanese descent – responded, “You’re about 25 years too late.”

DC Comics announced the move this week, saying in a statement that Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, will come out as bisexual. “Superman’s symbol has always stood for hope, for truth, and for justice,” writer Tom Taylor said in a statement. “Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics.”

Germany: Catholic Bishops Vote To Recognize Homosexual Marriages | VikingLifeBlog

https://vikinglifeblog.wordpress.com/2021/10/07/germany-catholic-bishops-vote-to-recognize-homosexual-marriages/

High-ranking Catholic clergy voted 168 to 28 during a gathering in Frankfurt, Germany to adopt a resolution recognizing homosexual marriage.

This statement is a direct act of insubordination seeking to challenge a Vatican decree signed by Pope Francis that explicitly forbids priests from blessing such pairings as a violation of scriptural tradition.

The German Catholic Church is powerful, corrupt and decadent. A report from 2015 found that the archdiocese of Cologne alone controls almost $4 billion dollars in wealth, making it richer than the Vatican itself. The German Catholic clergy has been prone to scandals, including a bishop who bought a 31 million Euro mansion for himself.

BIDEN’S EMPTY WORDS

I didn’t watch Joe Biden’s statement about the attack on Americans and others at the Kabul airport. Less than a year into his presidency, I’ve reached the point where I can’t stand to watch the guy — this, even though his appearances have been sparse.

This reporton Biden’s comments show them to be lame and stupid. Biden said:

We will not be deterred by terrorists. We will not let them stop our mission. We will continue the evacuation. We will rescue Americans, we will get our Afghan allies, and the mission will go on.

… Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair blasted Joe Biden on his “imbecilic” withdrawal from Afghanistan. Blair called it a “tragic, dangerous and unnecessary” plan.

Joe Biden is leaving the Taliban terrorists with tens of billions in US assets and arms.

Biden also removed US troops before removing up to 40,000 Americans in the country.

And Biden shut down EVERY US military base in the country as his first move.

It should be clear to everyone that Joe Biden is an enemy of the United States.

Biden orders new sanctions against Russian-German pipeline as Merkel meets Putin in Moscow — RT Russia & Former Soviet Union

Comment by tonytran2015: Is this the most urgent move now?

https://www.rt.com/russia/532668-biden-sanctions-nord-stream/

US President Joe Biden is ordering his government to place additional sanctions against Nord Stream 2, even as Russian and German
leaders are meeting in Moscow ahead of the gas pipeline’s completion.

In a letter to Congress sent on Friday, Biden argued that “certain Russian energy pipeline projects” would expand Moscow’s influence over EU energy resources and weaken “Ukraine and Eastern flank NATO and EU countries,” thereby threatening “the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.”

— Steve Herman (@W7VOA) August 20, 2021

To that end, his new executive order “blocks the property and interests in property of foreign persons” who are “engaging
in certain activities or providing certain services to facilitate construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, among others.”

The State Department and Treasury will identify the specific persons and
entities, in line with the Protecting Europe’s Energy Security Act (PEESA) of 2019, Biden said, and sanction them “unless a national interest waiver under section 7503(f) of PEESA has been issued for such persons.”

Putin praises Merkel for improving relations as German leader visits
Moscow for final time as chancellor

The White House made the announcement as German Chancellor Angela
Merkel was meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Nord Stream 2, which is expected to double the volume of Russia’s gas
exports to Germany, was one of the items on their agenda.

The new sanctions apply to the Russian companies Nobility and Constanta, an
insurer involved in the pipeline project, as well as to the supply ship Ostap Sheremeta, Bloomberg
reported, citing State Department sources. The waiver reference
suggests they will not apply to the Nord Stream 2 corporation and its
German chief executive; Biden made the exemption for them in May,
explaining that the pipeline was almost complete and futile efforts to block it weren’t worth endangering the alliance with Berlin.

This means the sanctions will be largely symbolic, as the pipeline is expected to be complete within a week or less. Once operational, it will
allow Russia to significantly increase the amount of natural gas it can
deliver to Germany directly, without depending on Ukraine or Poland for
transit.
