A new startup called Bark'N'Borrow connects people who want to hang out with a dog -- temporary. Maybe take one for a walk or keep it overnight.

Also, what a great way to get your pet sexually abused or sacrificed in some Rubioesque Santeria cult.

But that's still compensated eminent domain. The "public use" in this case being rather flimsy, hence the lawsuit.
But,
if the government grabbing stuff is the issue, it would seem
uncompensated situations like bond cram downs and outright property
gnofing without reasonable judicial restraint in property forfeiture
cases would be the place to draw the line in the sand.
But again, not my battle.
Posted by: Laurie David's Cervix at January 19, 2016 10:59 AM (kdS6q)
If
you look at some of the takings they have done on Long Island you would
not call it "compensated". In one case I saw they paid a guy $20,000
for a one acre lot with 150 foot of water frontage. Of course he sued.
In
Kelo they took the property to give it to someone else who was a crony.
And then it was never used. It was outright theft and blatantly
unconstitutional,

What folks don't realize... is that the Revolutionary Guard, which is the guys who actually captured our Sailors, are hard liners, and barely in control...
I could easily see Kerry calling Iran saying "hey, great photo op, will really help quiet down internal politics and make it easier to give you your money.... help out a bro their Ayatollah'...
Then Ayatollah Assaholea calls the Guard to go 'help' as they are the closest.... but the Guard are true believers.... and do the videos, take the SIM cards (which would have tracking info on it)... and we suddenly have videos of US Servicemen and WOMEN on their Knees...
So friendly stupid photo op, turns into Propaganda...

I recently watched 'Mexico's Secret Drug War' which is a British made documentary on operation Fast & Furious. The whistleblowers and retired agents of FBI, ATF, and the main gun dealer in AZ talk about the operation and the corruption and lies coming out of this administration about what was really going on.
The gun dealer who thought that he was helping his country by fighting against the drug cartels put it this way -
"I learned quickly that there is a big difference between serving your country or serving your government. I would gladly die to serve my country - I wouldn't walk across the street for my government."

I would deem that when you pay someone $20,000 for land that you are taking and it is really worth multiple millions it is uncompensated. And if I am not mistaken the judge agreed and stuck the government with paying what the real estate estimates said it was worth.
And as I said, KELO undermined private property which is the keystone to freedom. We lost the US that day they ruled.

No, not really, There's a whole contingent of lefties that identify with the evangelical church that have been causing for trouble for a few decades. A lot of them come out of the Quakers/Friends section and push a heavy pacifist line, which means anti-military.
Jim Wallis, Ron Sider, and Tony Campolo are three names that come to mind. But my knowledge is somewhat dated, so I don't think I know who the major players are in the lefty evangelical world these days.

I've wondered from time to time if the old Puritan and Temperence movement type Christianity wasn't a sort of proto-Leftism. Kinda like when all of their dreams of being able to dictate to normal people based on regular morality were dashed, they turned to Marx and the oppositional anti-morality of the modern Left.

He wore a green aviation type of uniform that did not match any of the Type III uniforms worn by the other sailors. There was an ID patch his left side and no rank insignia. He had a tattoo on his right arm that appeared to be a dagger. He appeared older than the others and didn't interact like the others.
He did not smile and laugh like the other sailors did. He was not in the photos where the other sailors were captured on their knees.
I'm curious if he was actually a part of the CORIVRON I crew? DIA? Or perhaps he was not captured with the CORIVRON crew, but was previously captured by the Iranians and covertly returned to the U.S. with the others?

Late 19th and early 20th century socialist activism came largely from these sort of churches; the social gospel. They were the ones that pushed for welfare, social security, shorter work week, minimum wage, ban on alcohol, etc. It was all based on enforcing morality using government power with a few Bible verses thrown in to justify it.

I tend to think dying will probably be a lot like being born: a big shock, lots of pain and confusion, followed by a big bright light...something along those lines. St. Paul wrote, '...We shall be changed.' What that means exactly, I don't know. I do know God loves us, and love is stronger than death.

Subject to the standing issue, this is an easy case to affirm. For DAPA, Obama didn't issue an executive order or even an executive action. He had the head of DHS issue a memorandum that created an entire new regulatory regime. Put aside that this new regime is in conflict with existing law. Jeh Johnson's doing this didn't comply with the Administrative Procedure Act. It's clearly wrong.
As to standing, if 26 states don't have standing here then no one does.

My denomination, the Christian Reformed Church, is doing the same thing. Every organization that does not constantly and consciously work to avoid going leftward, eventually will. The sin of mankind corrupts all we do. Basically, the most enthusiastic and loudest, rudest, and most insistent lefties end up taking over position after position and arguing from emotion and good will rather than truth and reality, until their opponents die or give up.
Eventually, even though the church I attend is very faithful, I'll have to leave the denomination if it keeps along the path is is on now: being led by culture rather than being salt and light.

Oyez. Going all Book-thready here, but it's covered neatly in "The Feminization of American Culture," Ann Douglas.

Had a guy at work yesterday, a potential problem child who came close to being ejected, who was talking to somebody on his ear loop thingie and to me at the same time. I ignored him every time he directed words at me. Finally he got exasperated and said 'did you hear me?' I said nothing. He quit yapping and asked me 'did you hear me? I said 'oh, I figured you were talking to that other person, not me.' I really get tired of explaining the concept of 'good manners' to people.

You're right there. And to totally steal a quote, "We must redefine Progress to mean that just because we can do a thing, it doesn't mean we must do that thing." (Federation President, ST6) Okay, so I'm a Star Trek nerd. But I think there's a certain truth in there. We have to challenge their narratives about what progress is, and do more to offer our vision of what a better society is and how to get there more than we do.
Added to its list of betrayals and failures, the Establishment has failed to project a coherent vision. There hasn't been a real opposition since Reagan. These people stand for nothing.

George Bernard Shaw was an asshole. He pretended to be a friend to Gene Tunney, World Heavyweight Champ in the Twenties, so that he could potentially use Tunney as a character study for one of his plays. Tunney thought of Shaw as a father figure, and was flattered the famous playwright would take him seriously.
Truth is, Shaw didn't. Shaw was just curious in a kind of cold, scientific way howa working classkid of a longshoreman like Tunney could make himself a millionaire with only an eighth grade education and his.fists.

Remember that according to Christ, a prayer in a closet is more his style than praying in the street to show off your piety. You don't need a formal denomination, as long as you read the book and believe.
I gave up searching for one after not being able to find anything that particularly appealed to me in my locality, but I don't think that's made me a raging heretic. The Church isn't a building, it's every Christian everywhere, whether you kneel, sit, or jump and sing.

She may be less relevant than her hey day, but I think she has one of the few endorsements that matter.
Posted by: SH at January 19, 2016 12:04 PM (gmeXX)
Me, too. I never thought she was perfect or above criticism, but she was a breath of fresh air after an entire lifetime of having female politicians like Hillary Clinton pushed on me as the ultimate representative of women. She is a woman who has embraced and enjoyed being a woman, not a harpy intent on being a better man than male politicians. She is a happy, normal person who is comfortable in her own skin. The anti-Hillary if there ever was one.

Looks to be a lose-lose to me. The SCOTASS already declared barky's first "Executive law" order for illegals to be illegal and for him to stop and all he did was ramp it up. And nothing happened to him. SO I can't see how any other decisions coming out of the SCOTASS can have any good effect.
Further, knowing this, the SCOTASS is more than likely to decide in Barky's favor so as to not embarrass themselves with him spitting in their face, again.

Although if she does I'd like to hear Max Rockatansky's take on what liberal policies she'll be spearheading and where exactly he expects her to headfake and doublecross the conservatives who voted for her. Hah!

Nope... her campaign slogan would be 'I tried to tell you so!'

Steel cased ammo could peen that rim down and cause some issues by restricting the chamber.
Also, you really did want to use the half- or full-moon clips because if the fired cases expanded like they were supposed to you wound up having to poke the brass out with a stick.

I think "The Canadian" argument against Cruz only works for people who have never been in the military.
When I was in, I knew plenty of guys (and a couple of gals), who had gotten married to a foreign national while they were overseas, and who had a baby while serving overseas.
So, you're going to tell people who served their country in the military,
that their kid can't be president because the kiddo happened to be born while they were serving overseas?
Nope, not gonna happen
FYNQ.
I'm sure that's why they started the one parent rule in the first place.
So as not to decitizenize the children of soldiers.
Not Cruz' case but the principle is the same legally.

If there's one thing good Trump has done during this election is to show that one doesn't need to fear the MFM. They can be taken to task easily if one stands their ground.

I don't see it, adds nothing really to the ticket, if anything it's the super-safe play, that doesn't strike me like Trump unless Cruz wants it and has delegates Trump needs when the dust is all settled.

Ghost,
Daniel Defense and Bravo Company basic models can be had for right under 1000..... both produce OUTSTANDING weapons.
Check out AR15.com and go to the Equipment Exchange...
Lots of quality to be had, at reasonable prices if you are slightly patient and diligent.
You can always buy an upper and lower separately.....getting more bang for your buck.

Now that you mention it, I realize that I haven't read Dorothy Sayer's religious writings. I've read ( and adored) her Lord Peter Whimsey series of mysteries, but I haven't read her serious works. I believe she left off writing fiction because she felt a greater calling.

No -- don't think so. The "natural born citizen" issue is constitutional. Issues of military dependency, and other citizenship matters, are an issue of statue law.
Congress could pass a law tomorrow saying foreign born military dependents aren't citizens and that's that.

If Sarah endorses Trump, I guess that means she's all-in on single-payer, socialized medicine.Who knew?
Ironically, Palin's endorsement of Cruz that was one of the factors that put him over the top in the Senate race. That she would possibly endorse Trump over Cruz--especially given Trump's past uber-liberal positions--is something of a mystery.What would bePalin's rationale for such an endorsement choice?

Maybe Trump asked.
Cruz, on the other hand, may have some Ace-like advisors whispering in his ear that her Alaskan snowbilly accent will embarrass the campaign somehow.
They've probably got Mike Castle on speed dial.
