The Ruling on Catholic High School Teacher’s Firing
Recently, a significant ruling was made by one of the most liberal appellate courts in the country regarding the firing of a Catholic high school teacher for marrying another man. This decision has sparked discussions and debates among various advocacy groups, particularly those advocating for conservative and religious beliefs.
The Court’s Decision
The ruling, issued by three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, stands out as an unusual one. It is worth noting that this same court has recently made headlines for its support of transgender rights through two major rulings. Despite differing ideological backgrounds, a Biden appointee and a Reagan appointee came together to caution against the implications of a Clinton appointee’s perspective on the case.
Implications and Concerns
The judges’ warning highlighted the potential risks faced by hundreds of thousands of individuals if similar decisions were to be made based on factors such as sex, race, or age. This raises important questions about the balance between religious freedom and anti-discrimination laws in the workplace.

Trump: Porn star Stormy Daniels in court: “Didn’t want the sex”

Trump is accused of trying to influence the 2016 US election with a hush money payment to a porn actress. Now she is testifying.
In the trial against Donald Trump, an important witness was called to the stand on Tuesday afternoon German time: the porn actress Stephanie Clifford, alias “Stormy Daniels”, who received hush money from the former US President.
According to the Washington Post, Clifford testified in Manhattan court that she did not want sex with Donald Trump. She added that Trump didn’t wear a condom, but she didn’t resist either. The sex didn’t last long, Clifford said. “My hands were shaking so much, I had a hard time putting my clothes on,” she told the court.
“I immediately laughed at him”
Clifford and Trump first met in 2006. After an employee convinced the porn actress to accept Trump’s invitation to meet, she went to his hotel room. According to the Washington Post, Clifford testified in court that she found him there in silk or satin pajamas. “I laughed at him,” Clifford said. Trump then immediately changed his clothes.
In addition, Trump was arrogant at the meeting and repeatedly tried to outdo the porn actress. At some point she asked him if he was “always so unfriendly” – and hit Trump on the butt with a magazine with his likeness on it. The mood then improved, Clifford said in court.
The conversation also briefly turned to Melania Trump, whom Trump had married the year before. But he said that she shouldn’t worry about this: “We don’t even sleep in the same bed anymore.”
“I think I fainted”
After the two had a drink together, Clifford briefly said goodbye to go to the bathroom. When she returned, Trump was lying on the bed – only in a T-shirt and underwear, said Clifford. She then wanted to leave, but Trump blocked her way to the door – the next thing she would remember was that she was in bed with Trump.
“I think I fainted,” Clifford said. She couldn’t remember lying down with him. “I no longer had my clothes or shoes on.”
“I was ashamed”
Trump then suggested doing the whole thing again. According to Clifford, he is said to have said, “We were great together.” “I was ashamed that I didn’t stop it and didn’t say no,” she told jurors.
That was when he first suggested that she appear on his show “The Apprentice.” However, Clifford didn’t think that was possible because of her job. “Never would NBC let a porn actress appear on television,” Clifford said, adding that Trump “doesn’t have that much power.” Trump tried to flatter her by comparing her to his daughter Ivanka: “She’s smart and blonde and pretty.”
In the following months, Trump is said to have called Clifford almost weekly. She maintained contact with him in the hope of appearing on Trump’s show “The Apprentice.” Over a year later and after several more meetings, Trump allegedly called her and told her that she couldn’t come on the show. She then ignored Trump’s calls, Clifford said.
During Clifford’s statement, Trump is said to have repeatedly muttered “bullshit” loudly and shook his head vehemently. Trump’s lawyer was then taken aside by the judge. He asked him to make it clear to his client that he should stop because this could be seen as an attempt to intimidate the witness and the jury.
