Former Washington state Rep. and far-right Republican Matt Shea, who was found by a House-commissioned investigation to have planned and participated in domestic terrorism, is in Poland with more than 60 Ukrainian children.

Shea said he is trying to facilitate their adoption in America, but international agencies say, with the chaos and confusion of war, now is not an appropriate time for international adoptions from Ukraine, The Seattle Times reported.

Shea has said his group helped rescue 62 children and two caregivers from an orphanage in Ukraine’s southeastern city of Mariupol, which is under heavy attack by Russian forces.

Shea’s presence, and the lack of information surrounding the American group he’s with, has raised concerns among leaders of the Polish town Kazimierz Dolny.

“I asked him (Shea) many times, ‘What are you going to do with these children?’ and he told me that it’s not my business,’” Weronika Ziarnicka, an aide to the town’s mayor, said.

Shea did not respond to comment requests.

Speaking on a Polish television show, Shea said he was working with Texas group Loving Families and Homes for Orphans.

The group registered with the Texas secretary of state in 2018. No such group is registered as an adoption agency with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services and it’s not registered with the organization that oversees American agencies involved in international adoption.

Kazimierz Dolny Mayor Artur Pomianowski said the case is being investigated.

Turning point? Not sure what you are talking about, unless it is sarcasm. I spent formative years in Montgomery AL while Wallace was governor. Probably then, when I was 7 years old? Since then, I have spent a lot of time in the South, with every class of people. I know the score.

Too many American voters feel their era of racial hegemony is coming to an end; and blacks, latinos, women and gays will get the representation that’s due them at the polls. This terrifies them, and the commercial/ownership class is manipulating these people to get what THEY want; corporate dominance in the economy, low taxes, low wages and relief from regulations that protect workers, consumers and the environment.

The GOP sees the Democrats are the constituency that supports these goals, so they must be stopped at all costs, no matter what they support. No matter what the Democrats propose, the GOP MUST oppose it. It really is that simple. Republicans only have one agenda, they must attack whatever the Democrats favor, even if it is policies that were identified with Republican ideology until only recently.. They no longer oppose Democratic policies, they oppose the culture of inclusion and tolerance that is anathema to them. The GOP has become an alliance of convenience between the bigots, the Bubbas, the Biblebangers and the bosses.

It really is that simple.
