@jaytedder @Wvv_70 @jmt5050 @KurtSchlichter Yes, I'm certain the unprincipled Trump loyalists Alito & Thomas will agree with you. But no one else will. In what way does it mean under the jurisdiction?

@JosephOnions @Wvv_70 @jmt5050 @KurtSchlichter If the parents owe loyalty to another country, meaning they are citizens of another country, they are not under the jurisdiction of the US. They are just visiting. Yes, they must obey our laws while here, but they are not under our jurisdiction the way the amendment means.

You guys understand we’re going to lose the birthright citizenship case, right? Before you completely freak out, the traditional understanding of the 14th Amendment, which we are seeking to change, is not an insane reading of it. Nor are our arguments insane like the left has been same. That’s baloney to just shut us up. Neither side is frivolous. It’s a tough call legally and objectively speaking. But when we lose it, and I think we will, don’t freak out that this is some sort of conspiracy. It’s a hard legal decision. Sadly, we have three judges who aren’t even going to try to examine the question and will always vote for what leftists want. But the rest of the court has to make a tough legal call. I think our reading is the correct one. For various reasons, I think they’re going to rule against us. Don’t freak out when they do. It’s not an utterly irrational ruling like so many of the district court opinions we’ve seen.

@jaytedder @Wvv_70 @jmt5050 @KurtSchlichter It's a bad rule, but it says what it says. It's wild that so-called conservatives have now forgetten that words have meaning. Scalia is rolling in his grave.

@JosephOnions @Wvv_70 @jmt5050 @KurtSchlichter Is there another country where they can vote and be drafted into their military? If you go to Japan, you are subject to their laws. You cannot vote in their elections. If you have a baby there, it will not be a Japanese citizen. This isn't that hard.

@nevnev60 @StrayedWest @andr3w31a561 What number were you okay with?

@StrayedWest @andr3w31a561 40k now? Thought it was 30k? Or was it 50k?

In 2026, saying you’re going to bomb a country of 90 million people and one of the oldest civilizations in the world “back to the stone age, where they belong” is truly fucking vile.

@jaytedder @Wvv_70 @jmt5050 @KurtSchlichter Those are two out of the ordinary examples. Are they subject to every other law? Required to pay taxes? It's a bad outcome, but every conservative should be calling for clear reading of the text.

@Wvv_70 @jmt5050 @KurtSchlichter Can you be drafted into our military? Can you legally vote in our elections? Take your own advice.

@pacopaquero @MonkeyPresson @nntaleb You're concerned that Israel is killing civilians in Iran?

@JosephOnions @MonkeyPresson @nntaleb Sometimes they do. But not always. And not in Iran. And the only reason they do notices is because of international public opinion. Given how radical they are now, if we didn't have the internet, they would do the same thing they did at Deir Yassin or Tantura in April 1948.

Their business model is bombing everyone, especially civilians, and are surprised that once in a while they get bombed. They naturally believe that they are the exception, but they also believe that others ALSO believe that they are the exception.

@Martina @strxwmxn You might consider why the good people of Lebanon are so supportive of Israel's action here?

@strxwmxn Southern part of Lebanon cannot be a buffer zone. Just how big a zone does one need? Those drones can hit from anywhere…as we are seeing now. Bombing civilian houses is surely not a solution

Hmm. Just for the record- I am not anti Israel or anti anything Jewish. I call out criminal behavior , regardless of who is doing it. And these days Bibi is very busy doing criminal stuff

@pacopaquero @MonkeyPresson @nntaleb I don't find it merciful at all, it's extremely brutal. I'm trying to get you to make the honest statement, a truth you seem unable to agree to: IDF did or did not give advance notice so civilians wouldn't get killed when their homes were bombed?

@JosephOnions @MonkeyPresson @nntaleb If you destroy my home and my future, am I supposed to thank you for not killing me before taking my land? I hope you never have to experience that. I'm sure you wouldn't find it so merciful if you lived through it yourself.

@pacopaquero @MonkeyPresson @nntaleb This is great progress, and a fair question you ask. Do we agree that IDF intentionally avoided killing civilians by giving advance notice before bombing neighborhoods?

@JosephOnions @MonkeyPresson @nntaleb You're missing the point. So if you inform people (including those "terrorists" you're confronting), and then destroy their homes is not a big crime according to you? What's the purpose? You didn't kill your enemy, and have destroyed the future for hundred of innocent people.

@pacopaquero @MonkeyPresson @nntaleb You're conflating property with civilian lives, on purpose. Before neighborhoods were destroyed, IDF informed the people living there that they'd be bombing. If IDF intended to kill civilians indiscriminately, why the advance evacuation notices?

@MonkeyPresson @nntaleb Yes, erasing entire neighborhoods and leaving millions of people without a home to return to is caring a lot about civilians.

@tolstoybb 0 regard for 45,000 Iranian people murdered by their government a few months ago? Any thought as to what they may have done with a nuclear weapon? Thankfully the most incompetent and unethical administration in our history is much more competent and ethical than you are.

There’s literally no other reason to fight this war other than for Israel

@dvassallo What was the error?

Just did a dry run of my 2024 taxes with both Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4, providing the same docs and info I had given my accountant last year. Opus missed a few things, and thought I had underpaid by $25K. GPT matched exactly what the accountant produced, and even found an error!

@NrsngHomePndmic @ilan_wurman You're holding Coleman to an evidence-based analysis. But Joe Kent openly speculates that maybe Israel actually did try to kill Trump, with no evidence at all. If only the former is a concern and the latter isn't, your brain is broken (as you'll reveal further in reply).

“Insinuation is 100 percent’ is not an evidence based analysis. Joe Kent says at least three times in the interview with Tucker that he doesn’t blame Israel and that he has no proof that it is Israel. What he DOES say is as the Director of National Counterterrorism he was not able to follow leads he thought he should be able to follow. Coleman in response; “What I'm saying is anyone who says something as insanely illogical as Israel tried to get Trump killed, clearly there is something going on, making that person irrational, right?”…..”“I'll double check it and if I'm wrong, I'll cut it out.” I dont think Coleman is ‘“an evidence-based person”, I think he is a scumbag with an agenda.

Watch this episode. The whole two hours. Every minute is worth it. Coleman was excellent. He was very respectful, focused on data and argument, and didn’t resort to accusations of anti-semitism. The more he pushed Glenn, the more Glenn moderated and nuanced his positions in ways he rarely does when it’s a rah-rah interview with those who already agree with him. And Coleman was excellent at demonstrating that whenever Glenn thinks “Israel” or the “Israel lobby” is behind something, there is almost always a more simple and parsimonious explanation. Glenn also represented his views well and respectfully. They both modelled civil discourse at its best. Bravo.

@Gordon91918009 @thackerpd You wrote earlier that the one thing that broke your trust in the public health establishment was the statement about the vaccine's 95% effectiveness. But that 95% effectiveness was true, wasn't it?

@JosephOnions @thackerpd I understand your point, Joseph. My take is a little different: Two shots, a month apart, was an abominable idea, especially for young men. This will never be done again ,as everyone knows this injured people's hearts. The other result was 2-4 months of pretty good immunity......

If you lived through all those years or lies and then still ask, "Why has trust decreased?" I'm guessing you believe we weren't lied to.

@KweenInYellow @sawaya_nicolas I mean, you just got caught in a lie didn't you? Off by an order or magnitude. Maybe correct yourself before you go on sympathizing with terrorists? Are you aware if the good people of Lebanon support this?

@sawaya_nicolas Oh okay false alarm then I'm sure everything is going to turn out just fine. 👍

Israel has now seized a larger percentage of Lebanon's total landmass than Russia has taken from Ukraine since its 2022 invasion. The latter was immediately met with international uproar and unprecedented multi-sectoral sanctions while the former is barely even mentioned.

@Gordon91918009 @thackerpd Pretty much everything about the pandemic is disputed, except this one point. The vaccines actually were that effective against the original Wuhan strain & alpha. This changed with delta & omicron - it's very confusing to people who wish to be confused by it.

@JosephOnions @thackerpd Right Joe! Of course! But all of the subsequent boosters tailored to protect against the later variants also carried studies showing how well they worked. All of the boosted people also caught all those variants! You sold the mandates on the basis that vax would stop transmission

@Gordon91918009 @thackerpd There were so many lies, but this was the one clear truth - strange to point to this. The vaccine was that good and effective against the then-prevailing strain, and so many people (like you, but also scientists) failed to understand or predict viral mutation.

@thackerpd 95% effective against symptomatic infection!!!!!!

@JohnWri39288874 @mattwridley @Noahpinion Why the quotes around leak?

@mattwridley @Noahpinion Hi Matt, I’m an emergency physician. I wonder why you thought the lab leak theory was initially wrong? At the time of the outbreak there was a lot of information available, much of which subsequently disappeared. The lab ‘leak’ was by far the most likely explanation.

Please, @Noahpinion, do take a look at my lecture at NIH last week to understand why I changed my mind from thinking the lab leak theory was almost certainly false to thinking it was almost certainly true. videocast.nih.gov/watch/244438a5…

@RachLANY @DrCHuber @stkirsch This genius didn't attend medical school, of course.

@DrCHuber @stkirsch out of curiosity, what did you do your residency in? And are you board-certified?

Shingles vaccine transiently increases your risk of shingles by 11X in adults 65 and over. You knew that, right? An 11x INCREASE. Did your doctor warn you?

@DrCHuber @stkirsch I had no idea the Special Olympics had a medical school.

@stkirsch Since medical school, I've warned every patient who raised the subject about the negative efficacy of this absurd, toxic, utterly useless vaccine. But 11x exceeds even what I had known from previously available data.

@emre_mayo @politicalmath I think China likely knew almost immediately what happened. I think US probably still isn't 100% sure today.

I genuinely cannot believe we are still doing this. The last time I argued against the wet market theory of Covid origin, I was told that it was conclusive but there was no new info that we didn't have in 2021 x.com/agraybee/statu…
