Arguing theology with the literal pope is quite the choice
Acyn@Acyn
.@PabloReports: Pope Leo has cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo using Scripture? Johnson: So you want me to give you a theological dissertation? Borders and walls are biblical—from the Old Testament to the New. God has allowed us to set up our civil societies and have separate nations. Immigration is not something that’s frowned upon in Scripture. In fact, it’s welcomed. We are to welcome the sojourner and love our neighbor as ourselves. But what’s also important in the Bible is that assimilation is expected, anticipated, and proper. When someone comes into your country, comes into your nation, they do not have the right to change its laws or its society. They’re expected to assimilate. We haven’t had a lot of that going on. When people cite passages from the Old Testament—saying you’re supposed to take care of the sojourner and the neighbor, treat them as yourself, welcome them in—yes, but that is an admonition to individuals, not to civil authorities. Civil authorities are given authority under Scripture to maintain order. Romans 12—if you want to do this—Romans 13 says that civil authorities are God’s agents of wrath to bring punishment upon the wrongdoer. And it says if you do right, you have no fear of the civil authorities.

I just think unless you’re an ELITE play caller you shouldn’t be calling plays as a head coach
Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdate
#Titans HC Robert Saleh says he will call plays in Tennessee, which he didn't do with the #Jets: "When I didn't call plays, I felt like I was the timeout and red flag guy. I had the greatest seat in the house as a fan."

Anyway I don't expect to change anyone's mind. I just want to be on record somewhere saying that killing this woman — and then claiming to be the real victim, with the militarized might of the federal government behind you — is one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen.

This shouldn’t be a philosophical debate. It’s a misunderstanding of how infectious disease works.
Vaccines aren’t perfect. The measles vaccine is 97% effective with two doses, not 100%, so some vaccinated people remain vulnerable. More importantly, some people can’t be vaccinated at all: infants under 12 months, immunocompromised patients, people with anaphylactic reactions to vaccine components. They depend on the rest of us not spreading a highly contagious virus to them.
Measles has an R0 of 12-18, meaning each infected person spreads it to 12-18 others in an unvaccinated population. The virus can linger in the air for two hours after an infected person leaves a room. At that level of contagion, you need 92-95% vaccine coverage to stop community transmission. When coverage drops, outbreaks happen, and the people who pay the price are often those who had no choice in the matter.
“My body, my choice” makes sense for decisions that affect only your body. Transmissible disease isn’t that. Your choice not to vaccinate can put a 6-month-old in the hospital or kill an immunocompromised kid who couldn’t get the shot.
The question isn’t “why does it matter if I take it.” The question is whether your comfort with risk should override someone else’s right not to get infected by you.
Joe Rogan Podcast News@joeroganhq
Tucker Carlson: "If the vaccine is effective and you take it, then why does it matter if I take it?" Cheryl Hines: "It doesn’t make any sense." Tucker: "So ‘my body, my choice’ was not a real thing, it turned out... It’s your body, my choice."

Honestly amazing how every illegal immigrant is simultaneously a destitute ward of the state AND fully approved for 30 year mortgages and soaking up all the quarter million dollar housing stock.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
