JD Vance Drops Odd Comments About Pagans at Brothels Discarding ‘Baby Skeletons’ at March For Life
I read an article some time ago about classic archaeology, of all things. And one particular piece of information has haunted me: that one of the telltale signs of an ancient brothel in the pagan world was that you’d always find a large number of baby skeletons nearby — a lot of baby skeletons; and those bones predominantly belonged to boys because, unlike little girls, those boys would be of no use to the future adults who were running those brothels.
Now, this is shocking to us because we grew up in a Christian culture and were formed by religious values. Even those of us who aren’t particularly faithful, it’s a shocking thing to hear. But we remember that in the ancient pagan world, discarding children was routine.
From the skeletons in brothels to the child sacrifice of the Mayans, the mark of barbarism is that we treat babies like inconveniences to be discarded rather than the blessings to cherish that they are.
Bessent: "It's a tragedy when anyone dies, but the situation on the ground there is being stirred up by Gov. Walz. I was out there 2 weeks ago. Gov. Walz declined to provide a security detail for me to go into the Minnesota Capitol. So he's fomenting chaos … there are a lot of paid agitators"

Craven Assholes:
Exclusive: In secret recordings, Cruz trashes Trump tariffs, Vance
Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican eyeing a 2028 White House run, torched Vice President Vance and ridiculed President Trump‘s tariff policy during private meetings with donors, according to recordings obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: Cruz’s rebukes, during two meetings last year, are some of the harshest criticisms of Trump and Vance by a fellow Republican since they took office a year ago.
- The recordings — nearly 10 minutes in total — provide an unvarnished look at how Cruz is positioning himself as a traditional free trade, pro-interventionist Republican ahead of a possible 2028 primary campaign against the less hawkish Vance.
“F— you, Ted,” Trump apparently responded, Cruz could be heard telling donors in the audio recording.
