@CVernonSmith @diegrueneKatze The bigots you hate are the ones who built your precious post-1965 global order. Literally. They died for it after they were lied to about what they were fighting for. Sorry I'm not as reprehensible as you are.

I confess: the mainstreaming of hate aimed at people who adopt children of another race, by so-called "Christians," has had a radicalizing effect on me. Anyone who tolerates people who do this, let alone actively participate in it, is not fit for a pulpit, nor to govern. Period.

The compassion of this woman is well suited for the vocation of motherhood. But this is not who you want determining whether birthright citizenship should be legal. A woman as a mother is a precious gift, but a woman as a civil magistrate is the death of the nation.

There is a lot of analysis about how the Iran War is not in America's interest. But this commentary is dead wrong. Defeating the Iranian regime is directly within core US interests. They've been fighting us for 47 years; it's time we fight back. My latest for @ProvMagazine:

Today the regime in Iran executed Amirhossein Hatami— he was just 18 years old. To every privileged Westerner chanting “hands off Iran” while waving the flag of his executioners: this is what you represent—dead Iranians.

The gallows are prepared tonight for a Son of Iran. Vahid Bani Amerian faces imminent execution. Break the silence before the dawn takes him. Be his voice. #Vahid_Bani_Amerian

Unfortunately, no one dedicated to the rule of law should have any interest in serving as Attorney General in this Administration.

Rahm Emanuel — Obama’s Chief of Staff, Clinton’s political director — just said it. “We lost the plot.” Emanuel: 50% of American kids aren’t reading at grade level. Reading and math scores at a 30-year low. The Democratic Party’s response was bathroom access and trans athletes in women’s sports. He called it “insane” and “baffling” — Democrats undermining Title IX, one of their own greatest legislative achievements, to champion trans athletes in women’s sports. This isn’t a Republican saying it. This is the man who ran two Democratic White Houses.

ZELENSKYY to BBC: We went through difficult relations with Iran. We did nothing to them. They shot down our plane, killed our passengers and crew, didn’t admit it, and didn’t let experts in. Then the full-scale war started. They handed Shahed drones to Russians to kill our civilians. I asked them to stop. They promised there would be only one batch. They lied and kept supplying weapons. That’s why I consider them accomplices of Russia.

@CVernonSmith That's the fun part about the Bible. We can accuse each other of not having a clue, because we can each find scripture that backs up our argument. But the Bible totally ❤️ slavery. I've quoted half a dozen examples in the new testament. The Hebrew Bible is 👌 super pro slavery

@BillyJoere @SophiaTesfaye @GigaTJefferson Immigration has, on the whole, been good for the US. That is as close as you can get to a stone-cold fact on a topic like this. Yes, some have been bad, and our immigration policy has serious problems on several levels. None apply to ABC's children.

@SirDenzington @KaiserLoengramm That wasn't the position of American conservatives for generations. That you are adopting the leftist position, that is a gross distortion of the US Constitution, is not my problem.

@ashwindollar @cluckerbuck1 I'd be shocked if it were even 1%. But it's a very loud and increasingly influential minority. It'll get worse over time if not confronted.
