Judeo morality focuses on obedience to Yahweh to avoid Yahweh’s wrath and the certain death that follows Christian morality centers love of the Father (who is clearly NOT Yahweh) for the promise of eternal life. Judeo-Christian morality is an impossible contradiction.

On September 1, 1918, Terry Turner played his final (1,619th) game in a Cleveland uniform, a franchise record that has lasted 107+ years. 🗓️ 39,298 days later, that record has been matched by José Ramírez & should be broken in a matter of hours. #GuardsBall | @CleGuardians

@PattiFunnie @michaeldweiss Service members knowing they won’t be abandoned is priceless

@michaeldweiss Biden left behind $85 billion in military equipment to the Taliban and over 100 military K9s he left abandoned at Kabul airport during his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and also killed 13 soldiers. Sooooo this op was well worth the $300 million

Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official: "The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds. "One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2

@McClint57188728 @SteveLovesAmmo In case any stragglers return lol

@SteveLovesAmmo I don't think the seven dust was necessary.

This might be one of the most American things I’ve seen. Blasting a hornets nest with a backhoe-mounted black powder cannon.

@outtt168672 @BWLH_ The well regulated militia was supposed to provide a parallel governance infrastructure so that people could start new systems without descending into chaos. We also have a federation where states could remain the same even while the federation is altered.

@BWLH_ The problem is we have no parallel infrastructure to replace the old. If things do go tumbling down what are we going leverage against the old?

It's time Weimar America dies. Seriously. We all know it. Many of us were born into this horror. We tried to ignore it by living in the decline of our inheritance. Thinking we could outlast the decadence. We can't, nor should we tolerate decline another moment.

@DefiantLs Dude was cool but then he went overboard on the port side.

Jesse Ventura: "I’m still not over January 6th. That was treason. All of the people should have been arrested and put in prison all the way to Trump because he and Giuliani and all of them orchestrated the whole thing."

@RealFreedomTalk @barnes_law So Blanche did for Schiff essentially what Bondi did for Swalwell

I can confirm this. I have recordings.

@StefanMolyneux And what “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means.

NOW they know EXACTLY what gender means...

Subject to jurisdiction for 14A purposes is like the country you would play for in the Olympics.

@JacobsFieldRBW I’m calling it now. All the way.

PROVE ME WRONG: The future has never been brighter for the Guardians. -Rotation best since 2018 -Great rotation depth in Espino, Stephen, and Allen -Loads of high-ceiling pitching talent in the low minors -Best group of hitting prospects since the 90s -Bullpen solid as usual

@ProfanePatriot @NickRogersBTL It’s aimed at getting CO FFLs to quit.

@NickRogersBTL It's not about the money, it's about inconveniencing law abiding gun owners in every single way possible until they just give up.

Colorado introduced a 6.5% "sin tax" on guns and ammo to raise money. What did this do? Well, I just bought a rifle in another state (yes, with a 3-day wait, after background check still) but I only had to pay 7.25% sales tax instead of the 16% I would have paid here with sales & sin tax. Way to go #Colorado, you really didn't think this through when you argued for this as a means to raise money.

@adamscochran @Volck76 That’s not the only way. See Declaration of Independence, Jefferson, T., 1776

Doesn’t matter if you think it’s outdated. Court cases and executive orders don’t change that. The ONLY way to update the constitution is by constitutional amendment. If enough people agree with you on an updated rule, then it changes. You don’t get to change the constitution just because you don’t think it makes sense.

Because we hold ourselves to a higher standard than China. It’s called the constitution.

@gearboxphilly @HansMahncke were not expected to participate in militia or jury service.

@JAndrewLauer @HansMahncke "indians not taxed"

Justice Thomas was the only one who asked the obvious question: what is the common thread among the recognized exceptions to the 14th Amendment, namely diplomats, enemy forces, and Native Americans? The respondent’s lawyer offered this word-salad answer: “So, as I just said, all of the exceptions involve situations where that U.S.-born child is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States because that extraterritoriality, the fiction of extraterritoriality, the interaction of another sovereign between the United States’ jurisdiction and that person applies to the child as well as to the parent.” What she seems to be getting at is that these categories involve some form of competing sovereign allegiance, even when the person is physically present in the United States. That may make sense for diplomats and enemy combatants, but it becomes far more muddled with respect to Native Americans, over whom the U.S. government did exercise jurisdiction. At best, it was a mixed and evolving situation. And that is precisely the point. There are modern analogues that fit this framework at least as well, if not better. For example, Chinese citizens are subject to legal obligations to the Chinese state, including intelligence cooperation, regardless of where they are in China or anywhere else. Other countries such as South Korea, Singapore, Greece, and Iran maintain strict extraterritorial conscription laws, meaning their citizens remain legally bound to serve even if they were born and live in the United States. If anything, those cases are cleaner examples of ongoing sovereign obligation than the historical status of Native Americans, who were physically present within the United States and still not fully covered at the time. Unfortunately, none of this was seriously explored during oral argument.

@thevivafrei The polygraph makes proving malice impossible.

I don’t usually draw negative inferences from lack of action. But there are exceptions. Anthony Fauci not suing RFK Junior for his book is one. And this is another. To actually send out lawyers letters, and then do nothing… If Baker is right, then Shauni ABSOLUTELY CANNOT sue.

The issue isn’t whether or not the United States has criminal jurisdiction over someone who is broken the law. Of course it does. But that’s different from whether the United States has allegiance based jurisdiction over someone who has not broken the law, but who can nevertheless hypothetically be compelled to serve the sovereign as a militia man or draftee.

@cpucfknight @robbertleusink Probably needs an instapot

@robbertleusink Was talking to Venezuelan coworker about this last week. She didn’t know why it was allowed but that’s what she grew up eating for Lent. Says it is a very rural tradition now and most of her friends in the city had never heard of it. Report is not very good, very chewy.

The Vatican once declared a 150lb rodent to be a fish Venezuelan clergy wrote to Rome in 1784 They were surrounded by capybaras and facing 40 days of Lent Their description: semi-aquatic, webbed feet, tastes like fish Rome had never seen one, but approved it Capybara is still a traditional Good Friday delicacy in Venezuela today The dispensation was never rescinded

@TheJonMurray51 @Will_Tanner_1 Not in a criminal acquittal, because then the right to a jury trial would be meaningless theater

@Will_Tanner_1 Judges are able to override jury verdicts, are they not?

It is now effectively legal for blacks in blue cities to murder whites Why? Because juror ethnic in-group preference amongst non-whites, particularly blacks, means it is essentially impossible to get a jury to agree to hold a black on white crime defendant accountable So some career criminal in a fetid city known for being full of his sort can get away with murdering a cop because an illiterate, third world jury supported what he did

Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn’t just struggle to define what a woman is - she’s also unable to define an American citizen.

@Rebeccaandgus @ForestMommy It’s a victim’s rights amendment situation so dad should have been consulted.

‼️ from a father in Jeffco that attended the Chloe Castro trial. "I was in the Jefferson County Courthouse earlier this afternoon, and the world doesn’t make sense anymore. I watched a school social worker admit to sexual assault of a student and get sentenced to probation with zero prison time. I don’t spend time in court. I’m a transaction guy. People hear “lawyer” and assume I live in a courtroom, but that’s not my world. Maybe in another life I would have been good at it, but not this one. I went today for one reason, to support a local family. For most of the hearing, I was sitting behind a combat veteran, and the whole time I kept thinking he looked like the guy who didn’t belong there. He was tense in a way you can’t fake, the kind of tension you see when everything is on the line and you’re waiting for someone else to decide how your life is about to change. When he finally had a chance to speak, his voice was strong, but it caught in the parts that mattered most. If you didn’t know any better, you’d assume he was the one facing prison. He wasn’t. He was the father of the victim. His son is a special needs middle school student who had been violated by someone inside the school system. The molester was the social worker assigned to that kid, the person responsible for his IEP, someone in a position of direct authority and trust. And there was no real dispute about what happened. The conduct had been admitted, stipulated to, and pled out as Sexual Assault on a Child by One in a Position of Trust, Victim Less Than 15, under C.R.S. 18-3-405.3(1),(2)(a), a Class 3 felony. In open court, across the board, people used the same language, including grooming and sexual conduct that developed over time. The judge himself described the harm as irreparable, so there wasn’t any confusion about the seriousness of it. After the victim statements, I watched one of the most effective courtroom presentations I’ve ever seen. It was controlled, deliberate, and persuasive in a way that stands out, even if you don’t spend your life in courtrooms. It walked through the defendant’s background, the therapy she had gone through since being caught, and why she supposedly didn’t present a meaningful risk going forward. It was the kind of argument that, if you walked in halfway through, you’d assume you were listening to defense counsel doing their job at a very high level. You weren’t. That argument came from Tyra Forbes, the Chief Deputy District Attorney for Jefferson County, the person tasked with handling cases involving vulnerable victims, the one who is supposed to stand in that room and protect that 14-year-old boy. Instead, she stood up and built the strongest case in the room for the 29-year-old who admitted to abusing that position of trust in the most vile and terrible way. Judge Diego Hunt then went through the statutory factors out loud, talking about the seriousness of the harm, the risk to others, and whether imposing probation would depreciate the severity of the conduct or undermine respect for the law. He acknowledged those factors, and he even noted that he has two children in this same school district, saying that cases like this are particularly important to him. And then he imposed probation and zero time in prison. After the hearing, that father wasn’t confused. He understood this might be the outcome. What he couldn’t understand was why the prosecutor stood up and made the case for it. He called her out directly, asking why she would argue for no prison time, why remorse and therapy were being used to justify that result for someone who did this to his son. And instead of engaging, she shut it down and called deputies over. That’s what makes this hit so hard. Not just the slap on the wrist of a sentence, but hearing the prosecutor make that argument and then watching a father get that response when he asked why."
