And the Harris spin machine churns on.
She owns a gun. OBVIOUSLY that makes her pro-Second Amendment, right?
And if someone breaks into her house, they’re going to get shot. That’s what she told Oprah. But you can bet SHE won’t be the one doing the shooting; her Secret Service detail will take care of that for her.
And assertions that she will fight to confiscate firearms is a lie - her words.
Hmm….
Trump has done it again:
“Miriam, I watched (Sheldon Adelson, her late husband) sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian, it’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version. It’s actually much better, because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor – that’s soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead. She gets it and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal.”
This man, both as president and former president, continually denigrates the service and sacrifice of our service members, both past and current.
This latest remark should anger every person who ever wore the uniform of our country. It should anger every mother, father, brother, sister, wife, husband, son or daughter, or any other family member who made that service possible.
It should anger every person in law enforcement, past or present, who ever wore the other uniforms of our country to see a current/former Commander in Chief denigrate the service and sacrifice of our brothers and sisters in military service.
While it is true that many deserving people have received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for significant contributions to our country, it is also true that many more of them received the medal in return for personal favors and contributions given to the president himself.
The Medal of Honor recognizes those who gave, or were willing to give, what Pres. Abraham Lincoln characterized as “…the last full measure of devotion…” It recognizes gallantry, valor, action, and blood shed above and beyond the call of duty. It is an honor earned, not given. For this reason, it will ALWAYS be superior to the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Gen 1:27: “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
Gen 5:1-2: “On the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them “mankind” on the day when they were created.”
God Himself created humans in His image. He identifies Himself as Father(masculine); He defines mother (feminine) as the complimentary opposite of that. He created male; He created female as the opposite and complimentary sex/gender.
God further applied this distinction to the animal world:
Gen 6:19: “And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.”
Gen 7:2-3: “You shall take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and his female; and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and his female; also of the birds of the sky, seven pairs, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth.”
Gender isn’t some fluid mental/psychological construct that can change with our every whim, it is hardwired, encoded in our dna as it was created to be.
For those who don’t recognize the Biblical narrative as authoritative, I will put it a little differently, using a phrase that’s all the rage these days: it’s the science. Your gender is encoded in your dna - it doesn’t change. If you are XX (female), you will always be XX. If you are XY (male), you will always be XY. That’s the science. It doesn’t change because you disagree with it. Surgeries and hormones do nothing to change this basic scientific fact.
Theology and science are on the same page with this; they agree. Gender and biological sex are the same identity.
Enough is enough.
It has become glaringly obvious that Judge Cannon defends, not the Constitution, but the man who appointed her, Donald Trump. She has done everything possible to derail the prosecution of the former president. The examples of judicial misconduct have been excoriated by judicial experts across the nation.
Judge Cannon has already accomplished her evident goal: assuring that Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted on federal charges before running for president again. If any respect for the judiciary is to be retained, she must be impeached, disbarred, and prosecuted. She is a disgrace to her robes.
A war has been raging for years in our society regarding homosexuality in all of its forms. We are assured by apologists that it is normal, that people are born that way.
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that this is so. People are born homosexual. Consider, in terms of evolutionary biology, what this means.
The basic tenet of evolutionary biology is natural selection, the so-called survival of the fittest. The only genetic mutations that are supposed to survive are those that contribute to the propagation and survival of the human species. Homosexuality in all of its forms does neither. The lack of desire for the opposite sex goes directly against both the propagation and survival of the human species. Without some form of outside intervention, homosexuals cannot reproduce on their own; it is a physical impossibility.
No, if it’s about the science, natural selection and survival of the fittest, then only one conclusion is possible: nature has selected the genetic lines of homosexuals to be culled from the human herd, for elimination from the gene pool.
So if your argument is that homosexuality in all its forms is scientifically based, you might want to rethink that argument.
"Folks, folks, folks, she shouldn't be allowed to run. If she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and, ultimately, a criminal trial. It would grind government to a halt. Her current scandals and controversies will continue throughout her presidency and will make it virtually impossible for her to govern and lead our country,” Donald Trump, 2016 Reno Rally, referring to Hillary Clinton.
While I still believe she should have been prosecuted for mishandling classified documents, the FBI disagreed.
Nevertheless, Trump has now been indicted on THIRTY FIVE felony charges. According to HIS OWN WORDS, he should drop his candidacy immediately to avoid a potential Constitutional crisis.
So here’s the problem with that: Trump wins either way.
If he remains unpardoned, he is a martyr to the maga cause.
If he is pardoned, it will appear he forced NY to overturn the conviction that, according to him, should never have happened in the first place and (because this is why democrats now want him pardoned) legitimizes the threat of violence as a political tool in the US.
Not only must this conviction be allowed to stand, Trump must also be brought to account for such threats, and any violence arising as a result of his threats must be dealt with decisively. This passive aggressive behavior must be ended.
That’s the headline of an article appearing on Yahoo News today. A “trans” (biological male) runner in Oregon won a race, became the high school “female” state champion, and was booed for doing so.
I posted the following on yahoo news in response to the article three times - and it was summarily deleted all three times for violating community guidelines even though I used no derogatory language or employed no personal attacks - unlike many of the other postings that were allowed to remain. As I observed in my appeal, I guess they are threatened by objective reasoning:
It’s the science, remember? That’s the answer that trumps all others - until it gets in the way of the agenda.
The science says that “trans” runner’s chromosomes make him male. That’s the science.
He can take all the estrogen and testosterone blockers he wants; it doesn’t change what he is at the genetic level.
He can mutilate his body to make him appear female; it doesn’t change what he is at the genetic level.
He can believe all day long that he is really a female; it doesn’t change what he is at the genetic level.
A psychiatrist can “affirm “ his feelings all day long; it doesn’t change what he is at the genetic level.
At the end of the day, that science doesn’t change and it doesn’t care about political agendas. His chromosomes make him a male, and that’s the end of it.
In 2021, Gentex, “a technology company and long-time supplier of electro-optical products for the global automotive, aerospace and fire protection industries,” implemented exclusive Spanish language only production lines “to provide expanded employment opportunities for West Michigan’s growing Hispanic community… over 230 Spanish-speaking employees work on various production lines throughout the company.”
Regardless of the nobility of the intent, this constitutes blatant discrimination in hiring and promotion in violation of existing Equal Employment Opportunity laws. Exclusive Spanish language only lines means speakers of other languages, regardless of how well qualified they might be, are excluded from employment opportunities that have, by definition, been reserved exclusively for Spanish speakers.
They say wrong is wrong, regardless of intent.
This is wrong. And likely illegal.
I posted the following in response to a number of news reports appearing in Yahoo. It quotes from those reports, yet my postings were rejected because the quotes I used to make a point, which were acceptable if used by “journalists,” were considered to be offensive and violations of community standards when ***I*** re-quoted them.
And Yahoo has the temerity to claim they don’t censor.
“Zionists don’t deserve to live.”
“Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”
“I don’t fight to injure or for there to be a winner or a loser, I fight to kill.”
If a person uttering these words had been considered a white supremacist, they would have already hauled him off in cuffs and charged him. But since he is “just a protester” taking over a college campus and forcing many operations to cease, a pro forma apology and no hate crime prosecution is acceptable. After all, he’s just exercising his free speech. Move on, nothing to see here. No, that isn’t a double standard you think you see.
And, oh yeah, shutting down university operations is the university’s fault, not the insurgents who chose to take over the campus.
Yes, this is an insurgency. Treat it like one.
