"Lawless federal agents took another life." Fascinating framing from a governor whose own state has not, to my knowledge, sent out a single PSA telling residents the following basic fact: driving a car at a human being is deadly force, Governor. Not an inconvenience. Not a misunderstanding. Deadly force. And when the person standing in front of that car is legally armed, they are permitted — and often will choose — to stop you from killing them. That is not a partisan opinion, that is Physics 101 combined with about two centuries of settled self-defense law, two subjects apparently not covered in the curriculum where you used to teach. Since you and your fellow governors seem allergic to saying this plainly, allow me, in eight languages, so nobody in your press office has an excuse: Spanish: Arrollar a personas con un coche puede matar a alguien y puede considerarse fuerza letal. Si esa persona tiene un arma, debería y a menudo lo hará para evitar que los mates. Chinese: 用汽车碾压人可能会杀死某人，并可能被视为致命武力。如果那个人有枪，他们应该而且经常会阻止你杀死他们。 Tagalog: Ang pagsagasaan ng mga tao gamit ang kotse ay maaaring pumatay ng isang tao at maaaring ituring na puwersang nakamamatay. Kung ang taong iyon ay may baril, dapat at madalas na pipigilan ka niya na patayin sila. Vietnamese: Lái xe cán qua người có thể giết chết ai đó và có thể được coi là vũ lực chí mạng. Nếu người đó có súng, họ nên và thường sẽ ngăn bạn giết họ. Arabic: الاصطدام بالأشخاص باستخدام السيارة يمكن أن يقتل شخصًا ويمكن اعتباره قوة مميتة. إذا كان ذلك الشخص يحمل مسدسًا، فإنه يجب وغالبًا ما سيمنعك من قتله. French: Renverser des gens avec une voiture peut tuer quelqu'un et peut être considéré comme une force mortelle. Si cette personne a une arme à feu, elle devrait et souvent le fera pour vous empêcher de les tuer. Korean: 차로 사람을 치는 것은 누군가를 죽일 수 있으며 치명적인 무력으로 간주될 수 있습니다. 그 사람이 총을 가지고 있다면, 그들은 당신이 그들을 죽이는 것을 막아야 하고 종종 그렇게 할 것입니다. Portuguese: Atropelar pessoas com um carro pode matar alguém e pode ser considerado força letal. Se essa pessoa tiver uma arma, ela deve e muitas vezes vai impedir que você as mate. Now, on the actual facts you conveniently skipped: Lucas Scott, 18, an eyewitness, told the Portland Press Herald he watched the driver "put the car into drive and was trying to hit the ICE officer" before the agent fired. That is not my framing, Governor, that is a bystander's account in your regional paper. Maybe read past the headline next time before you climb on the ledge of moral outrage. For the legal literacy portion of today's lesson: DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989) and Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005) already settled that the government owes no individual an affirmative duty to shield them from harm they deliberately drove themselves into. You can be as horrified as you want, it does not rewrite tort law. I would explain the difference between "lawless" and "lawful self-defense" further, but somewhere out there is a tree tirelessly producing oxygen for you, and you owe it an apology for how it is being spent. And before you lecture the rest of us on "accountability," maybe start by holding a press conference that does not require translation apps to contain a basic truth: don't ram federal agents with your car, and they will not need to shoot you. But what do I know? I am only a medically retired combat medic who has actually treated what a moving vehicle does to a human body, unlike a governor whose closest experience with deadly force is a strongly worded tweet. #MAGA #Veterans #Trump @JoJoFromJerz @atrupar @TheYoungTurks

A long time before God extended redemption to the gentiles (see Acts 10-11) the Church began at Jerusalem and was entirely Jews (see Acts 2). Those Jews were raised in synagogue and knew their Scriptures were authoritative. What the Reformers did in the mid-1500s added nothing at all. It simply corrected the slop taught for centuries by the Roman mother-son cult. The Church began knowing that Scripture was authoritative.

@Acyn @DrBMcDH Every month we spend TWICE the Israel contribution—in SNAP payments, mostly to foreign non-citizen moochers. Israel’s support is worth every cent.

Massie: Well, I’ve got three amendments to zero out funding in the State Department appropriations bill: one to defund Egypt, one to defund Jordan, and one to defund Israel. Those are the top three recipients. Israel is the biggest welfare recipient of the United States, at $3.8 billion a year. Three billion of that is in the State Department bill, and that’s what we’ll have a vote on, hopefully this week. Marjorie Taylor Greene did an amendment very similar to this before she left, and of course I voted for it. I think it will get more votes because public opinion has changed as awareness has increased about how much money we’re spending on Israel and what they’re doing with those bombs and weapons—starting wars with their neighbors, for instance.

America spends $7.8B monthly on SNAP. If ILLEGALS were removed from SNAP the cost would reduce 70%. If all benefits were CUT OFF they would LEAVE. 45% of ALL AFGHANI’s living in America receive FREE FOOD from YOU. Is this your American dream? Cause it sure isn't mine.

Read it again. Such a good reminder.

We gave them The House, The Senate and The Presidency And they go on vacation Never forget this Betrayal NO INCUMBENTS THEY ALL HATE US THEY ARE CROOKS AND LIARS

@RadioFreeTom And you’ve never served a day in uniform. Serious scholars of war don’t give a fuck what you think. You’re a partisan joke. And someone I beat the shit out of online because ratioing you is easier than breathing and brings me enjoyment. Hope that helps.

@samash_72 @visegrad24 Yep. I did not make a very smart post. But I’ll leave it up to flaunt my shame.

@NiceNeanderthal @visegrad24 Do you mean $12/gal as post states?

@Kevkevofkevs @visegrad24 But I do understand pronouns! So that was definitely my retard post of the day on several levels . . . . Mea culpa!

@NiceNeanderthal @visegrad24 Dumb Neanderthal pretend not understand metric system. Farm engagement with dumb post. Me understand. But me no respect or enjoy.

@IdiotusGigantus @JDSkorpio_ @SteveLovesAmmo Turns out Skyline started in Price Hill and Gold Star on the East side. I finally discovered them when they set up N. Ky shops. So they were around, but under my radar.

@NiceNeanderthal @JDSkorpio_ @SteveLovesAmmo That seems unlikely. Between Skyline, Dixie, Gold Star, Empress, and all the dozens of places that are not chains; there are about 300 chili parlors in Cincinnati.

Tell me what state/country you live in by only providing a GIF.

@Ariko76 @RitaPanahi @ABC Oops! Thanks for being kind . . .

@NiceNeanderthal @RitaPanahi @ABC Do try to pay a tiny, modicum bit of attention. Look at the logo. Its Australian Broadcast company. And before you declare it, no, they are not affiliated with American Broadcasting company.

ABC claiming it's "climate change" and not Islam or third world cultural practices behind the scourge of child marriage. Reminder: ABC receives more than a billion in taxpayer funds annually.

@Eleven__11XI It’s like casting Sylvester Stallone as Pee-Wee Herman. Hollywood does NOT have to act on all terrible ideas.

This might be the most fascinating movie launch of the decade… The Odyssey is being called one of Christopher Nolan’s best films by many early critics… Yet the trailer has also become one of the most disliked of his career, driven largely by debates over casting and creative choices. Estimates of YouTube dislikes vary because YouTube no longer publishes official dislike counts, and third-party tools only provide approximations. Nolan’s response? “Comes with the territory.” So here’s the question… If critics are praising the movie before release… but the internet has already judged it from the trailer… Who do you trust more? 🎬 The critics who have actually seen the film? 🌍 Or the audience reacting to what they’ve been shown?

@nonregemesse It’s like casting Sylvester Stallone as Pee-Wee Herman. Hollywood does NOT have to act on all terrible ideas.

I’m just not going to the cinema to see a film with bad casting. Am I suppose to go across town and pay money to see Jon Bernthal play an Ancient Greek?

@SamaHoole Another mind-blowing collection of historical facts!

The Corps of Discovery would kill a full-grown buffalo, look it over, and leave the entire carcass where it dropped. Too lean to be worth the carrying. Lewis and Clark crossed a continent on meat, up to nine pounds of it per man per day, and somewhere out on the plains they learned a lesson the modern world has spent a fortune forgetting. Lean meat is barely food, and fat is the whole point. Their journals are thick with it. Animal after animal shot and then dismissed as poor, meager, lean and unfit for use. A Mandan hunting party brought in twenty-one elk in a single day and the explorers noted they were so meager they were scarcely fit to eat. They were hunting for fat. An animal without it was a wasted bullet. The foods they loved tell the same story. Beaver tail, which is very nearly pure fat. The fatty hump and tongue of the buffalo. Elk when it was running with condition. And when the game turned lean and poor, the men turned thin and weak along with it, however much of it they choked down. Then came the crossing of the Bitterroot Mountains, and it very nearly finished them. They came down the western side gaunt and half starved, and the Nez Perce took pity and fed them the local welcome, dried salmon and camas root. A wholesome, plant-heavy spread. Within days the whole party was flat on its back, vomiting and violently ill. "I am very sick today and puke for relief," wrote Clark. What put them back on their feet was the dog. They bought dogs from the villages and ate them, and Lewis, a Virginia gentleman raised to better manners, wrote that he had come to prefer dog to lean venison or elk, that it was a healthy strong diet, and that living on it the men grew more healthy and strong and fleshy than they had been since they left the buffalo country. They got through on close to two hundred dogs, more than all the antelope and sheep and bear and turkey they ate put together. A dog with a bit of fat on it beat the leanest, cleanest venison in the west. They proved it on their own bodies, a thousand miles from the nearest doctor, with nothing to gain by lying about it. Two centuries on, we sell the exact reverse as wisdom. The skinless chicken breast. The egg-white omelette. The lean, the trimmed, the fat cut off and binned as though it were the enemy. We take the very part of the animal those starving men would have killed for, and we throw it in the bin, and we call ourselves the healthy ones. Lewis and Clark would have wept.

The issuer of that vile statement is a man, as anyone with even 1% vision could tell you. Specifically, he’s a man who said he hoped she died handcuffed to a bed and screaming in agony.
