@travis4nh Even their rhetoric is offensive. “Stealing” doctors? They are free women and men, not slaves or property of some foreign government. They can’t be “stolen.” They have a right to use their talents wherever will have them.

don't try to make me turn on foreign docs because "the foreigners need them more".
I don't care what foreigners need or want, and I'm never going to be against buying Saudi oil or SA gold bc they should get to keep it.

The IMGs don't want to stay in rural areas and that isn't the answer to the physician shortage in rural areas. Why is it acceptable for the US to steal physicians from foreign countries that desperately need them?

I would argue with that. Stalin was a competent communist, Gorbachev an incompetent one. In my book, the former is worse.

@ingelramdecoucy @Kristoph_Vals @TheEconomist I see your Economist and raise you a The New Republic. I paid for that for years, back before they disappeared.

@Kristoph_Vals @TheEconomist I paid money to subscribe to them at one time

A month of bombing Iran has achieved nothing. Will Donald Trump escalate, or talk? For now, at least, the advantage lies with the Islamic Republic. Register for free to learn why econ.st/4bPYtXk

@CliffordDMay That seems odd, doesn’t it? Congress limits the use of appropriated funds prospectively all the time. And if by some executive privilege, Congress can’t limit funds prospectively, it is not obvious why the same doesn’t apply retrospectively.
English
There's no "War Powers Act."
There is a War Powers Resolution. Presidents of both parties have declined to agree that it' is binding because it seeks to unconstitutionally restricts executive authority and it infringes on their constitutional powers as commander-in-chief.
Courts have treated this as a "political question."
Congress can, of course, cut off funding once troops are deployed.

@teambetaonfire @DrCalumMiller And the US as well. The difference is that in the US it is still legal to disagree with that.

@DrCalumMiller Sexual orientation has been a protected category in virtually all of Europe for decades, just like sex or race. It's not just Finland, or Germany, or the U.K... 🙄
English
Europe is officially totalitarian.
The SUPREME COURT of Finland has CONVICTED Paivi Rasanen of a crime against humanity for a 20+ year old church pamphlet which opposed gay marriage.
At the time gay marriage was not even legal in Finland!
The state of Finland is evil.
ADF International@ADFIntl
🚨BREAKING: Päivi Räsänen unanimously acquitted for her Bible tweet, but convicted of “hate speech” for a 20+ year-old church pamphlet The conviction is under the “war crimes and crimes against humanity” section of Finland’s criminal code, alongside Bishop Juhana Pohjola.

@valtteri459 @DrCalumMiller I am an atheist and against insulting homosexuals. But I am even more in favor of free speech and thought, even for people who disagree with us.

@DrCalumMiller Says the one defending a literal Christian fundamentalist cheering the bombing of innocent Palestinians and mistreatment of minorities, especially of the sexual kind.

@DStrungk And as a practical matter, if you are willing to fight, e.g., for Poland, you’ll end up fighting on the same side as all of Europe. Might as well formalize what is an inevitable alliance anyway and get *something* out of them.
English
@DStrungk Yes, deplorable things happen in Europe. But when the chips are down and only arms speak, they are still the most valuable allies we have. That is why I remain pro-NATO. And perhaps you’d reconsider when you see who else is on the anti-NATO side?
English
Time to end NATO. I won't support risking one Canadian soldier for western Europe.
America too. Time to leave.

@physicsgeek @davidharsanyi You have the right idea, but got the nomenclature the wrong way around. The Tet offensive was a NVA/VC initiative. It failed militarily but became a political victory for their side thanks to the efforts of Cronkite et al.
English
They're trying to Tet Offensive the Iran war. For those who don't remember, the Tet Offensive was a military success but Walter Cronkite came on the air and declared it to be a disaster and everyone just believed him.
Noah Rothman@NoahCRothman
The verdict from some quarters is in: The war is “quickly becoming a disaster.” The sooner Washington acknowledges its defeat, the better... That dour outlook seems wholly divorced from an objective appraisal of the war in its fourth week.
English
@benlandautaylor So how do you explain the, I’d say, generally positive consequences of the Glorious Revolution of 1688? Before 1792, it was not crazy to expect good things to come from “revolutions.”
English
The reason the American Revolution had results so different from every other revolution is that, properly speaking, the "American Revolution" wasn’t a revolution at all, it was a provincial rebellion. That is, it wasn’t a centralizing cadre dissolving and replacing the social order by means of violence directed from the core, it was a province breaking its allegiance to the capital while leaving the existing social structures basically intact.
English
The 92nd St Y is canceling this long-planned event because of the 4yo tweet where I criticized Biden for picking a justice based on race/sex. So (1) they don’t understand the issue, (2) they didn’t do due diligence, and (3) they still kowtow to woke. For shame.

@NoahRettberg @FreeManDespair The lieutenant in the German WW1 army who put Hitler in for the Iron Cross for bravery was Jewish.
English
Jewish Germans had the highest rates of volunteering for the German Army in WWI.
100,000 jewish Germans served in WWI, out of a population of merely 500,000, meaning 40% of all male jewish Germans served.
Also one has to understand one context about that picture:
It was taken not in Germany but in Poland, which German had just taken from the Russian Empire.
Russia was an extremely antisemeitic society while German at that time was one of the most philosemitic in Europe.
So theese Jews are not laughing at the German soldier, they are happy about Germany defeating Russia.

@JoanOfArc287 @miles_commodore That isn’t ideal, but much preferable to the father being gone for real. Sadly, the father being actually absent is probably the more common case.
English
@miles_commodore Many times they keep the father. They just don’t marry him and they keep it on the down low that he’s living with them.
English
Black kids born outside of wedlock prior to 1960 was 21 percent.
Today it's over 73 percent.
The biggest reason for this is the Government giving financial incentive to get rid of the fathers.
This has nothing to do with slavery or Jim Crow. It's LBJ and Democrat policies.
English
@avidseries Trump is the fons of this whole malady. Without him Hegseth would be an utter nobody, too insignificant to be seriously offensive.
English
@CathyYoung63 @EggerDC That of course doesn't mean that punishment is vindictive or pointless. The credible fear of punishment is one of the most powerful anti-stimuli which we possess. And for that to be credible, every now and then punishment must be inflicted.
English
@CathyYoung63 @EggerDC A little bit from column A, a little from B. The monster may have always slept in you, but without the right stimulus to awaken it, you might have led a blameless life. And who knows that there isn’t such a stimulus for any of us?
English
I love Allahpundit but I think he's dead wrong on this one. "Removing moral checkpoints and leaving it to individuals to decide for themselves what they're willing to condone" is an extremely reliable way to make people's character worse!
English
@ckieser13 Not only did they respect the common law, it *was* the law of the US and the States at the founding. Cases today still turn on what was the English common law at the founding. See, e.g., 7th amendment jurisprudence.
English
This is 100% not true. The founders and framers had great respect for the English common law and for the most part it was incorporated into the common law of each state at the founding.
Andrew Branca Show@TheBrancaShow
America fought a war to free itself from British law.
English
@mnk68636175 @sonukg4india X0 is correct only in the sense of the limit; direct valuation is indeterminate. X1 is correct either way, of course.
English
@CrownMaybe @RogerSeverino_ Fair point. Incorporation, and even more so its exact mechanism, is debatable. But no stance on it gives you that non-establishment is not incorporated but, e.g., the rest of the first amendment was.
English
@CarlEdman @RogerSeverino_ Without wading into an incorporation debate, I will simply note that the idea that the states were bound by the First Amendment and all of its implications was not one anyone particularly noticed for the first few decades after passage of the Fourteenth.
English
American states had established, official state supported churches until 1833 when Massachusetts amended its constitution. That’s 42 years after the First Amendment was adopted. Wall of separation language didn’t appear in an EC opinion until the 1947 Everson decision authored by one time KKK member Justice Black. His framing expanded on the earlier anti-Catholic Know Nothing / Blaine Amendment tradition and applied it with a vengeance over the next several decades to radically secularize American schools and public life.
How anyone can honestly think that the quintessential left wing, secularist framing of this issue should be the “Number one question” to gate-keep the entire conservative movement is beyond baffling.
Insurrection Barbie@DefiyantlyFree
If we’re going to gatekeep in the conservative movement, the number one question that should be on the questionnaire is do you believe in the separation of church and state? Do you believe in the first amendment? If the answer to that question is no then you’re not a conservative. It’s really that simple all of this other stuff is meant to obfuscate from that one basic question. So at the end of the day that is the line for the gatekeeping, do you believe that everybody in this country should be free to worship according to their faith. If that becomes a radical idea on the conservative right, then we already lost.
