  1. Stripping an enumerated right, the right to privacy, without an Amendment is the harm patriots ought consider injurious. Get out of here with DACA whinging.
  2. Historically, Christianity has displayed resilience when persecuted. Perhaps that resilience leads to a religion closer to that which Christ espoused. Opprobrium, rather than lions, one can hope. When Christianity is used to oppress, it has jumped the rails, and deserves the public’s enmity. My family’s history was shaped first by Catholic oppression; now evangelical and Protestant oppression are emulating the ills that led to their own genesis.
  3. His social media sites will be put under control of some sort of supervisor, who will then offer an opinion about their future. His debt will not be be discharged, because, as @elfenix noted: “The judge overseeing Jones' bankruptcy has ruled that most of the debt will survive after a liquidation, because it resulted from "willful and malicious" conduct.” https://www.reuters.com/legal/alex-jones-bankruptcy-liquidation-approved-court-2024-06-14/
  4. Seems that these dark forces are most easily identified in corporate greed. Think of Christ in the temple. Certainly not in your neighbor, whom we are to love exactly as we love ourselves. What a neighbor knows is true for themselves is as true as what we know about ourselves. The Torah is the word of God, as are the red letters of the New Testament. The rest is commentary. And God speaks in parables.
  5. This leads to a question I have had since trying to read the stupid things my wife said thread on Lulz. Is that what a poop knife is for?
  6. There’s a surprising number of Surly posters who say they don’t care, but take the time to post anyway.
  7. There are quite a lot of (conflicting) examples of what a sin against the Holy Spirit is, exactly. This makes sense to me: "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" is conscious and hardened opposition to the truth, "because the Spirit is truth" (1 John 5:6). Conscious and hardened resistance to the truth leads man away from humility and repentance, and without repentance, there can be no forgiveness.“
  8. My oyster shucking skills are much improved.
  9. I’ve got a soccer ball!
  10. Was just checking out UK’s favorite fast foods. Nando’s mash up African spicy chicken caught my eye.
  11. Somewhere along Plum Creek. /Buffalo Hump
  12. Well, I wasn’t. My thinking is that POTUS’ wishes take a back seat to Secret Service imperative. Edited to say that is a good thing. Were POTUS able to countermand SS, tfg might have led J6 insurrectionists into the capitol. I assume JFK was the last POTUS to override SS policy. I can agree that having a loaded firearm is a reasonable expectation, while also believing that the SS has last say.
  13. Dude can claim he has served his country, and now chase the private windfall. Somehow, I believe quid pro quo-Ing beats his open market value.
  14. A federal agency tasked with his protection would likely disagree. Suicides account for 56% of deaths related to firearms, while 41% were homicides, and about 1% were preventable/accidental. Ex POTUS has agents to guard against homicide.
  15. Rittenhouse killed a couple of progressives. (See Daniel Perry). Biden is perceived as a progressive. Progressives are a nuisance.
  16. Again I am reminded how blessed I have been. My FIL, may he Rest In Peace, (fuck spellcheck) kept his cognitive dissonance to the need for Ma Bell to connect the rurals. Agreed with him, of course, but couldn’t help him break through to the other side.
  17. If there is a thread that could cancel the enshittification thread, then this is that thread. So, here is where I choose to post the following: One week old, tomorrow. The eldest was conceived in Montana. And she is there right now. Hopeful, I choose to be. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/06/05/extremely-rare-1-in-10-million-wild-white-bison-calf-born-in-yellowstone/
  18. Would you be swayed by the conclusions of a left leaning think tank? I propose the CBO is a more fitting benchmark for discussion of the raising the minimum wage act. Yes, some folks lose jobs, and yes, the deficit climbs. But, the poorest families, overall, do better. IMO, that is the intent of the act. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/55681 A deeper dive into the economic and budgetary dynamics of raising the minimum wage. https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2021-02/56975-Minimum-Wage.pdf
  19. Well, fingers crossed. ”Donanemab, if approved, would compete with Eisai and Biogen's Leqembi. Both drugs are designed to remove toxic beta amyloid plaques from the brains of people with early Alzheimer's disease. The antibody treatments, which succeeded in slowing disease progression in clinical trials, follow three decades of failed attempts to find drugs to fight the fatal, mind-wasting disease.” https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-fda-advisers-review-eli-lilly-alzheimers-drug-2024-06-10/
  20. So, what’s the likelihood three different sharks attacked humans compared to that of one shark attacking three times?
  21. Cabia.org has no reputation, either in support of its credibility or against. Why not find a reputable organization that makes the same claim? Do you think, if the claim you have posted is true, that the free press is actively suppressing the facts?
