  1. One to watch, she's on fire. She's not kidding about syphillis, either. Real trouble looming with that one. With access to healthcare an issue, specifically for women, and furthermore lack of access to OB/GYN care it's happening while there is a shortage of treatment medications (the FDA is allowing importation of meds from overseas to alleviate this). There is only one drug that can safely treat in utero IIRC. Guys, do your part: wear a condom. Oral contraceptives are only one factor that play into sexual health and reproduction.
  2. Here's a little more about this case: https://okcfox.com/news/local/blackwell-police-arrest-pastor-wife-on-child-abuse-kidnapping-charges-8-children-beaten-with-wooden-board-locked-in-room-no-food-keith-holt-candy-holt-pastor-house-of-prayer-church-blackwell The church had a facebook post saying that Holt was not the senior pastor (they did not comment to the reporter for the article) but they also did not say if he or his wife were employed by the church in any capacity.
  3. Fuentes has been a white supremacist since high school. Most of them flame out like Richard Spencer did because American society was hell to the naw on fascism and overt racism. But now with a platform and a mic, Nick is gloating at his good fortune to be a bellwether for authoritarianism.
  4. What is the deal with Idaho? It's so pretty there....but they've got some really really odd people.
  5. I noticed this, and it got lost in the shuffle a page back I think but the DPS has been arresting, detaining, and charging migrants with criminal trespass. I do not know if that began with the takeover of Shelby Park or further details, however. Prior to the governor's maneuver, there were the various usual actions taken by BP. People may have forgotten that the US has reverted to Title 8 for immigration processing (see below) now that the pandemic is over. The Coast Guard essentially does the same with migrants that arrive in Florida via watercraft (IIRC) if the watercraft cannot be turned away safely. Just because a migrant is received by the BP at river's edge does not mean that the migrant will remain in the US. Title 8: Individuals who unlawfully cross the U.S. Southwest border: will generally be processed under Title 8 expedited removal authorities in a matter of days will be barred from reentry to the United States for at least five years if ordered removed; and would be presumed ineligible for asylum under the proposed Circumvention of Lawful Pathways regulation, absent an applicable exception.
  6. Aw fuck it. As @royiv pointed out several pages back, this thread has turned to shit so another derail matters not. Here goes... When you posted the first of your ~20 responses in this thread, I read the screenshot (The Right Scoop) along with the National Review article and refrained from comment. I had seen the earlier tweets and had commented on a previous page that this initial border action by the governor seemed like a performative stunt more than a willingness to work alongside others to assist various agencies with immigration. That is with the complete understanding that agencies often don't play nicely with each other. Egos. However, you went on to post the court summary ( @TwiceHorn or any of the other legal types know what it's called) and so I read that and then posted a response, pointing out one or two items that were omitted from the media. This was followed with some back and forth between posters, comments regarding tax liability as it relates to immigration, more back and forth about which political parties bear more responsibility for reform, more back and forth including the word "slimy" being used in reference to CR demeanor, more stupid shit and finally this last piece. I will point out, that at no time did I ever call you a name or state that your intelligence is lacking. I did, upon reading the dig about wanting to ruffle feathers, remark on the disingenuous nature of your initial post. Which leads me to this point. Despite no name calling nor neg reps given, at no time did you ever engage with me when I addressed your comment with civility and a statement of fact as elicited by the information YOU provided. YOU are not required to respond to posters who insult you, name call you, and lord knows, I have enough people on here that I ignore w/o using the feature but you chose to do so with them. I essentially gave you an out and you ignored it because actually discussing this issue sans emotion did not seem to interest you all that much. Despite imagining my own children being torn from my arms and swept under the current to die, I was willing and wondering if you were going to discuss to what end Abbott's decision was supposed to be. I find it almost but not quite amusing that a (stereotypical) male response to place women in a catch 22 is to call them "too emotional" to be rational but call them frigid and cold-hearted when they posit thoughts with little emotion. So if you were accusing CR posters of being emotional, well, look in the mirror. I do, however, possess a pitchfork but it is relegated to the garden shed where garden tools such as it should be. This thread is the zero sum game microcosm of the zero sum game being played and it would be nice, for once, if players would consider trying the non-zero-sum, aka positive-sum/win-win game but I am not optimistic. Sucks to our ass-mar. Lord Of The Flies it is then.
  7. Man, I don't know. It's a long way from persuading the nation's police forces not to kill minorities to forgoing lower taxes to have resources that help urban families with addictions and mental illness. I do actually know this. But I like to repeat it sometimes. /s
  8. Amy Coney Barrett is 51 years old and Brett and Neil not much older. So much fun to come let me tell you.
  9. Maybe add Fetterman to that list and make sure he understands to invade Johnson's personal space bubble while they're all talking.
  10. Huh, how about that. Kinda like a buncha 60+ year old white guys telling a woman how her ectopic pregnancy is no big deal or if she clinches her thighs together she can repress her menstrual blood and other nonsense they haven't the slightest clue upon.
  11. Welcome to my life, good sir. Have a seat, would you like the abridged version?
  12. Eighteen days in and WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! The Cloak Room Is Not So Bad thread is eyeballing its counterpart:
  13. I don't know but probably. I'm waiting for the library's copy.
  14. One of my kids is near Bridger-Teton (Wyoming/Idaho) and said that's also been an issue there.
  15. Our country does need more labor if employer and industry groups are lobbying legislatures to lower certain requirements for minors to assume dangerous jobs/work longer hours on school days. The "cheap" is something that is tossed around a lot but I believe (opinion!) that discussion is incredibly nuanced and not for this specific thread.
  16. I figured the publisher requirement was about $$. A religious or politically connected publisher given a heads-up could have materials set to go and force the other big houses to follow suit. Texas book sales are big money in education and the rest of the nation follows to some degree.
  17. I *loved that song. Have you read her book published last year?
  18. Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 (1953) 61 years ago George Orwell, 1984 (1949) 75 years ago Sinclair Lewis, It Can't Happen Here (1935) 89 years ago
  19. Taylor Swift's impact on a potential KC Chief's playoff win is NOT trivial. (Not to mention, the League ought to be thanking her because she's brought more eyeballs to their product by a demo that spends $$).
  20. Reporter James Bickerson (Newsweek) has been reporting from Eagle Pass and he had a short item about the Texas State Police have been arresting migrants (charging with criminal trespass) and detaining them. Someone who follows immigration law closely please chime in--wasn't this an issue before--by charging with a state offense it creates a migrant with a criminal record and therefore cause for inadmissibility to this country in the future? (Source for original article here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/greg-abbott-defies-joe-biden-as-texas-begins-arresting-migrants/ar-AA1nbeZV) Also: Texas DPS spokesperson's twitter account confirms with statement and video of arrests and detention. $$ flowing back into their pockets after they got their budget cut by $160 million...
  21. Under. 2.15" I almost went with 1.25" but it's warmer so may pull a little more moisture out.
  22. Doesn't surprise me. He sunk a lot of money into his pride and now he's going to rationalize and justify it. We all do that in varying degrees. SEE: Texas A&M University--- Football Coaches, Years 22018-2023)
  23. Ohhhhhh. It is all beginning to make sense with this "pod" reveal... How it's started: How it ends: "Proctors" coming soon to a neighborhood near you! /s
