What idea, doctrine, or theology did Joseph Smith produce with zero precedent anywhere before Joseph Smith?

Our military installations have been turned into gun-free zones—leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed. That ends today.

I just watched a debate between Jeff Durbin and Dr James White against Kwaku. Kwaku gave the best debate performance I’ve ever seen from an LDS position. He not only defends, but goes on the offense. Durbin and White crash out so hard, it was hard not to laugh. Huge Kwaku W.

Justice Alito: Would you agree citizenship test in 14th Amendment is same as test in 1866 Civil Rights Act? Respondents: Words are obviously different. What Wong Kim Ark and debates tell us is that Congress was trying to do same thing with both. They wanted to encompass Common Law exception and Indian exception. Alito: Do they mean the same thing? Respondents: Framers were trying to do the same thing with the language in both. Alito: 1866 is more straightforward. "Not subject to any foreign power" is pretty straightforward. So if a boy is born here to an Iranian father who has entered illegally. That boy is automatically an Iranian national at birth. He has a duty to provide military service to Iranian government. Is he not subject to any foreign power? Respondents: No, what framers meant was referring to ambassador exception. If it meant not subject "of" foreign power, than lawful permanent residents -- Alito: Ordinary meaning would certainly encompass that boy, wouldn't it? Respondents: Shift to language of 14th Amendment clears up ambiguity. Alito: What I said of boy born to Iranian father is true to children born to nationals of other countries -- Russian parents, etc. Sure seems like that makes them subject to a foreign power. Respondents: That would've meant children of Irish, Italian, other immigrants -- which Wong Kim Ark and Framers allude to -- wouldn't count either. No foreign nationals' children would get citizenship. Alito: Difference is children could be naturalized when parents were naturalized in those cases.

Justice KBJ: "If I steal a wallet in Japan, I am subject to Japanese laws….. in a sense, it's allegiance." Her case for birthright citizenship:

The grooming gangs scandal is one of the darkest moments in our country’s history - where the most vulnerable were abused and exploited by evil child rapists. The independent national Inquiry will now begin its work to uncover how these crimes were allowed to happen and root out failure wherever it occurred. The Inquiry will be laser‑focused on grooming gangs and will explicitly examine the role of ethnicity, religion and culture - including how institutions responded. There will be no hiding place for the predatory monsters who committed these vile crimes.
