The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

President Donald Trump may be many things, some of which I would prefer he isn't, but treasonous is not one of them. It is childish and offensive in the extreme for the braying asses of the NeverTrump world to throw that accusation around as if it meant something other than a simple insult. But it is a powerful insult, and one that is noticed by many as being ridiculous on its face. If someone were to call me a traitor, I would contemplate a physical response, because as a loyal American there is nothing worse one can be accused of. The silent majority in this country will undoubtedly remain peaceful, at least without further inflammatory behavior and actions from the elites, but they will remember, and they will vote. They will compare the casual accusation of treason from the chattering classes to their neighbor who just got a job, and their bonuses at work, and their first hint in a decade that maybe, just maybe, we have a president who will defend our borders and look out for us before "them" on the world stage.

Am I pleased with the way the President conducted himself yesterday? No, I would have preferred a more aggressive stance against Russian provocations. Am I sublimating that desire and supporting him even more forcefully because of the hysterical and insulting reaction from the lunatics who support the deep state's drive to destroy Trump? You bet!

Here is a slightly different take on the press conference, from a man whose opinion deserves to be taken seriously...almost as seriously as does Anderson Vanderbilt.
Diplomacy 101 Versus Politics Writ Small

The high professional quality of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's performance at their Monday press conference in Helsinki contrasts sharply with the obloquy by which the bipartisan U.S. ruling class showcases its willful incompetence.
Though I voted for Trump, I've never been a fan of his and I am not one now. But, having taught diplomacy for many years, I would choose the Trump-Putin press conference as an exemplar of how these things should be done. Both spoke with the frankness and specificity of serious business. This performance rates an A+.

Angelo Codevilla has been around for a very long time, and knows a bit about geopolitical intrigue. I used to read him in Commentary before that once-great magazine lost its way, and while he is too much of a believer in realpolitik for my taste, his take was always interesting. I think he is too sanguine about Trump's performance, but the underlying message that he sees is interesting.

But let us look at reality. Trump gave Poland anti-missile technology a few months ago. That is a concrete message to the Russian bear, and it dwarfs any parsing of syntax at a press conference by 20-something journalism majors. I hope that the President continues to support freedom in Eastern Europe, and continues to push back against Russian expansion in the Middle East. If he does that, I will cheerfully tolerate conciliatory press conferences every now and then.

These options are no longer available for vast majority of people. It is immoral for society to demand work for subsistence and then turn around and deny them employment. A living wage job is an absolute human right. #JG

Maybe I am too dogmatic and rigid in my thinking, but I have never understood what the hell these commies are saying. How can a living wage be a human right? The wage must be paid by someone else, who will be coerced into paying that wage. So how can the human right of one person come at the expense of another?

As an aside, I wonder how this < iBoston accent>retard< /Boston accent> defines morality, because I would bet that his concept of morality is a sort of free-floating, whatever-feels-good type of morality, unlinked to any higher power or objective measure.

34 Donald Trump causes outrage by insisting that NATO countries live up to their defense obligations - to protect them against Russian invasion or attack.

---------------

Donald Trump causes outrage because he was too friendly in his talk with the Russian president.

So which is it? Is Donald Trump too friendly with Russia or is he too harsh? Or is it that there will be outrage just because Donald Trump is president.*

Four Democratic-led northeastern states sued the Trump administration to invalidate the new $10,000 cap on the federal tax deduction for state and local taxes.

The tax law resulted from a "hyper-partisan and rushed process" that will disproportionately harm taxpayers in the four states, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood said in a statement.

There are no Russian "provocations", at least no more than American "provocations" against every country on the planet. It is our ignorance as Americans and our reliance on the American and allied medias that informs us as to what we believe. As Goebbels noted, "in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily". There is so much disinformation and deception going on that truth is ignored and lies are enshrined in the narrative.

67 audit the FBI.

Every federal agency should be audited. But, then they'd have to be accountable. I think it was 60 Minutes that showed where each agency was storing furniture and equipment that they couldn't use but needed to spend every cent of their budget so it wouldn't be cut. Too bad they weren't forward thinking enough to upgrade their computer systems back then instead. Now, supposedly, they don't have the funds to do so, which leaves them susceptible to cyber attack just to maintain these legacy systems.

2a. Many see this as a feature rather than a bug, especially the media.
2b. Most are opposed to the dishonesty of the media, and their opposition to Trump.
3. While many may revel in the media's poo flinging regarding the Trump/Putin press conference, most are repulsed by it.

112 My perception is the left has been trying to provoke Russia into war ever since Trump won the election. They are criticizing Trump for not challenging Russia to a war at the press conference or at least insulting Putin as another provocation.

They want war with Russia to embarrass Trump and to bolster their claims that Republicans are the war-mongers.

I want to know what the asshats who want to abolish the second amendment think will happen if their wish comes true. If you can't stop human trafficking and drug smuggling, what do they thin will happen if guns are banned? Creating a black market for weapons is the best way to turn this country into Mexico.

124 So how can the human right of one person come at the expense of another?"

Leftists are too dense to realize that this argument has been going on for well over 100 years now, and they keep losing it.

It's the issue of Negative Rights vs "Positive" Rights. Our Constitution is the best model in existence of a document that embraces the doctrine of "Negative RIghts" - it contains an enumerated list of actions which the Government MAY NOT do with respect to a citizen. They may not restrict your speech, or your religion, they may not deny you a fair trial, etc., etc. The doctrine of Negative Rights is an old and deeply conservative view of Government's role.

So-called "Positive Rights", on the other hand, have long been a deeply held goal of the leftists, and were pushed hard while FDR was in office. These would be that you have a RIGHT to a house, you have a RIGHT to a job, you have a RIGHT to healthcare. And Government's function is to use any and all powers to provide you with these things. This is always an invitation to a grand increase in the scale and power of Government, which is why leftists love this idea so.

Taking this back to the days of the Founders, and the ideas they held when the Constitution was written, our founding documents are based on the concept of "Natural Law". Under "Natural Law", the rights that any man (or woman) has are those that he has at the moment of this birth - you have the right to your life, you have the right to speak and be heard, you are born with the right to your own freedom. (hence the perpetual conflict between "natural law" and the concept of Slavery) The Concept of Natural Law is where we derive the concept that just as we can not be forced into servitude of another, neither may we force others into servitude for ourselves. It was a novel concept when it first arose, an it is still a revolutionary idea today.

162 If there was any actual evidence that Russia "hacked" the DNC server, the Dem Party would have allowed it to be analyzed long ago. There's only one reason you hide evidence from law enforcement, and it's always the same old thing no matter what level of criminality is involved - the Evidence you try to hide holds the proof that you're lying about what actually went on.

The Dem's actions alone tell me that they know their story is completely bullshit.

169 NorthernLurker. I know a couple of people who get benefit from CBD oil. But for back spasms I think I'd go with heat first instead of a topical medical marijuana.

Heat can be from a liniment type thing like IcyHot, or absorbine gel (thats the horse one) or the chemical hot packs. There is a product called Pain Wizard that is a good combo of menthol, and capsaicin for heat and some topical anti-inflammatories. My dad uses it for his knees and I will use it if I over did on weeding or something and put my back into spasm mode.

172 "How can a living wage be a human right? The wage must be paid by someone
else, who will be coerced into paying that wage. So how can the human
right of one person come at the expense of another?"
I mocked their logic yesterday, with that woman that didn't want to work at all, she thought it was a right to have free stuff ... manna from heaven, God makes it, no labor needed.

The living wage is dumb, but there is a point in the equation where people become subjects of totalitarian regimes. Our bill of rights mostly laid out our liberties, but our laws had to adjust to mafias and special interests, so we got RICO to break up racketeering, where certain groups prefer their own, but other groups are outlawed from preferring their own.

Perhaps free trade and open borders come under this rubric of the American "right to work" as opposed to having our government give "equal rights" to enemies. Conglomerates bought our government and craft carve-outs and laws that were not in Americans' interest, but that mostly snuffs out competition and normal wage competition (as we see with illegals suppressing wages, or H1-Bs where Americans are forced to train cheap labor from India).

Americans (middle class hardest hit) have the right to expect their government to protect their wages ... and that will indeed come at the "expense" of foreigners seeking to "invade" our markets. "Free Trade" said nope, only bottom line matters, and the CoCs still run the show (mostly).

That always works! That's SMART diplomacy!

Trump called Mexicans rapists and murderers ... he was talking about illegals. "not sending their best". Same story when he was deporting MS-13 and the left coordinated the narrative, their outrage histrionics were turned to eleventy ... off they go.

Trump was nuanced, he met privately and said there are good arguments why the (biggest part of) the problem was not Russia. Putin confirmed with "what was in the emails (devastating to Hillary) was not fabricated", AND Putin offered up that bit about the $400M Hillary took.

If you truly understand the nature of society and its relationship with the legal system, you would understand both the concepts of jury nullification and vigilante acts. I know people condemn vigilantes, but how many vigilante acts have actually been a mistake, meaning an injustice was done due to faulty understanding? Now, compare that with how many were justified. It's like posing about how "lynching" is wrong. Why? Look at the total numbers of lynchings over the first 150 years of this nation. Not even 4,000 and a third of those were for White people. I assure you, while it may seem cruel, so is hanging someone with the blessing of the State. And, let's be honest: you would not have the stupidity of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Detroit, Baltimore, etc., etc., if society engaged in ex parte justice.

263 Here's the hard truth:

EVERY SINGLE NATION IN THE WORLD that has the capability to "meddle" in U.S. politics does so.

Every. Single. One.

Why? Because we're the top-dog nation, and because our system of government makes it easier for meddlers to attempt to meddle. (Interesting to contemplate which side of American politics is hell-bent on making meddling easier, and which tries to preserve what defenses American society has to that meddling, but I digress...)

The U.K. meddles constantly, mainly via the propaganda machine called the BBC.

The Chinese meddle by buying up companies and real estate, and by rampant industrial espionage.

Russians meddle by doing what Russians do really, really well: disinformation and subversion.

The rest of the Euros (Germany, France et al) meddle by pushing scams like "climate" and most egregiously "globalism."

They constantly berate Trump when he is on foreign soil, and set up a press conference (Rosie) right after Trump meets the Queen, right when he is meeting Putin ... sedition from within.

Trump was nuanced, but our war is against those that supported Obama in "fundamental transformation", on the way to their "new world order". So while the left calls for war with Russia in the face of Trump the POTUS ... just who is really committing "treason".

Clearly the left's criminals, from deep inside our own government, have waged the coup. Trump cleared things up ... he is the executive, and the subversives inside our government will be dealt with, not allowed to start their own WAR (beyond what war they are already waging).

Mukasey added: "There are some 30,000 emails that Mrs. Clinton did not turn over, on the claim that they were personal and involved such trivia as yoga routines and Chelsea's wedding. If they instead contained damaging information -- say, regarding Clinton Foundation fundraising -- the new president would have taken office in the shadow of a sword dangling from a string held by the Russians."

Given the fact that you don't know what his intention was, you have limited knowledge to form your opinions with. I have seen more than once that what was considered a blunder by Trump turned out to be another win. You notice that both CNN and Fox commentators are pontificating that this was a total disaster for the entire history of mankind, don't you? Why so much invective? Like they say, the closer he gets to the target, the more they scream.

Perhaps the intelligence agencies shouldn't be conspiring to disenfranchise half the country, either.

It's not just an attack on Donald Trump - it's an attack on the voter.

Don't ever forget that.

And I agree with the judge. What the hell was he supposed to have done? Be openly antagonistic? Call Putin a cocksucking liar? What?

I don't get all the hubbub over this at all. It was a fucking press conference. A Q&A session.

The president made a simple statement: Putin firmly denied the allegations. What was Putin supposed to have done? Admit culpability in every bit of wrongdoing in history? To what end?

The real outrage is the fact that the Democrats and Hillary Clinton were called out by both Trump and Putin. That's what has the chattering classes all exercised.

And guess what? Even if Russia did hack the DNC (which there is no evidence they did - the server was never examined by the FBI and other experts have stated such speedy downloads couldn't have been done remotely) who the hell cares what happens to the DNC? I sure as hell don't. It's the epicenter of every bit of filth, discord and rot in Western Civilization. To hell with them.

350 With respect to Vigilante Justice, including lynching - the reason it is vital for the State to provide an effective and impartial Justice System (one of it's two most important reasons for existence, the other being mutual defense) is that an impartial system which is accepted as legitimate and effective does away with the need and desire for private justice, that which is carried out by private parties.

If a society does not have the former, it will always have the latter. That's how people are. Private "justice" has a huge cost, and is a huge risk, because while it may seem acceptable when it is carried out against a universally hated criminal, it can easily devolve into Vendetta, of the kind that Sicily was famous for. One family takes down an enemy who has wronged them, his family takes out someone in return, and so on forever.

Even worse are in areas that have bitter tribal and religious divisions, and in those places vigiliantism descends into the type of constant guerilla war of group vs group such as we see today in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and most of Africa. It is the gateway to chaos and death of society itself.

When we attempt to stop vigilantism, THIS is the door we are trying to close. But, there must be a strong, effective, and feared state sponsored system of Justice, or else this other path is the one any society will go down.

358 124 So how can the human right of one person come at the expense of another?"

Leftists are too dense to realize that this argument has been going on for well over 100 years now, and they keep losing it.

It's the issue of Negative Rights vs "Positive" Rights. Our Constitution is the best model in existence of a document that embraces the doctrine of "Negative RIghts" - it contains an enumerated list of actions which the Government MAY NOT do with respect to a citizen. They may not restrict your speech, or your religion, they may not deny you a fair trial, etc., etc. The doctrine of Negative Rights is an old and deeply conservative view of Government's role.

So-called "Positive Rights", on the other hand, have long been a deeply held goal of the leftists, and were pushed hard while FDR was in office. These would be that you have a RIGHT to a house, you have a RIGHT to a job, you have a RIGHT to healthcare. And Government's function is to use any and all powers to provide you with these things. This is always an invitation to a grand increase in the scale and power of Government, which is why leftists love this idea so.

Taking this back to the days of the Founders, and the ideas they held when the Constitution was written, our founding documents are based on the concept of "Natural Law". Under "Natural Law", the rights that any man (or woman) has are those that he has at the moment of this birth - you have the right to your life, you have the right to speak and be heard, you are born with the right to your own freedom (hence the perpetual conflict between "natural law" and the concept of Slavery). The Concept of Natural Law is where we derive the concept that just as we can not be forced into servitude of another, neither may we force others into servitude for ourselves. It was a novel concept when it first arose, an it is still a revolutionary idea today.

I've been critical of Trump, particularly on his Syria intervention stuff, but the constant fake news on him has built up a reflex loyalty to him.

It's funny how the Dims are always telling us that taxes are too low, and the rich don't pay enough taxes, and all that other bullshit.

Then, when they get what they said they wanted and their taxes actually go up, they raise holy hell and sue to try and get the tax hike invalidated.

Nancy Pelosi has been screaming for years that rich people (like her) don't pay enough taxes and get too many "loopholes" and tax breaks, but as soon as the SALT taxes were capped at $10,000, Pelosi pre-paid her CA property taxes so that she could claim all of them as a deduction on her current taxes. This is a woman who has a net worth (thanks to her years of corruption) of tens of millions of dollars (or more), but she wasn't going to pay more taxes if there was any way she could avoid it.

398 I've been critical of Trump, particularly on his Syria intervention stuff, but the constant fake news on him has built up a reflex loyalty to him. Because more than 99% of the time that reflex is correct and it's easier to save thinking power for more important things than considering every piece of drivel the cuck-crew crawls out since it's almost always wrong.
Posted by: Nationalist Pikachu at July 17, 2018 12:06 PM (H0bCE)

...

For me, it's not reflex loyalty to Trump. It's just reflex disbelief in the MSM.

They think we're in a tight defensive circle around Trump with our heads in the sand.

The reality is that the MSM itself, in having destroyed its own credibility, has rendered Trump immune to any accusation.

What credible source is left to accuse Trump? Even if he actually does something, what news source could bring it forth in a way that the half of the country that voted for Trump would even consider it on the merits?

There was a plan. There was input, from many quarters. There were points of disagreement, and they covered in the press conference that those do indeed exist. They may never be reconciled. Kiev's problems are self inflicted and not as important to the US as the ME, Like the Norks, like trade, like counterterrorism. FSB's elimination of ex-soldiers who turn is well known. Will they stop ? Most likely not. London should have hidden them better.

457 362 That sidebar thing... yes, some Nazis were obsessed with the occult, Goebbels in particular (he was literally creating a new state religion with a special castle where rituals would be carried out in special chambers, etc). Hitler was fascinated in some of that stuff."

What I found most enlightening about that article was the end, where the author observed that Nazism was a Political Religion. That explains both its most bizarre aspects and the absolute fanaticism which it inspired.

We are now fighting another powerful Political Religion - Modern Leftism. It has much in common with the last version, which explains why it is so pernicious. If you understand that the extreme hatred against Trump exists because he commits Public Heresy against this new religion every single day, it becomes easy to understand.

And just like the Nazi's, they're trying to create a religion which denies there is any God. I think I see why it can't last long, and never does.

What credible source is left to accuse Trump? Even if he actually does something, what news source could bring it forth in a way that the half of the country that voted for Trump would even consider it on the merits?

464 We are now fighting another powerful Political Religion - Modern Leftism. It has much in common with the last version, which explains why it is so pernicious. If you understand that the extreme hatred against Trump exists because he commits Public Heresy against this new religion every single day, it becomes easy to understand.

And just like the Nazi's, they're trying to create a religion which denies there is any God. I think I see why it can't last long, and never does.

I thought it was kind of amusing when Putin refused to take the indictment papers out of Wallace's hands and told him to set it on the table.

Was wondering how many times Putin has ordered somebody killed by having them handle some innocuous item that had been coated with a lethal poison. He wasn't going to take any chances . . . .

Amen. What Codevilla could have added was that Trump also put pressure on Putin when Trump challenged our putative NATO allies to pony up on their promise to put 2% of their GDP into defense spending by 2020. And Trump raked Merkel over the coals for Germany's multi-billion dollar gas-oil pipeline deal with Russia. That's language the Kremlin clearly understands.

God has the ultimate "big picture". He knows the things to influence to get the greatest result. This is cold comfort to those who get a bad time of it in this world, but that's the point of faith--that the next world will more than make up for it. "This, too, shall pass."

As I said, sometimes cold comfort, but leagues better than the alternative.

538 I don't think Trump was God's first choice either.

God's first choice for who should rule the world is... God.

What credible source is left to accuse Trump? Even if he actually does something, what news source could bring it forth in a way that the half of the country that voted for Trump would even consider it on the merits?

This is the flaw with constantly crying wolf, which everyone knows past the sixth grade but apparently these idiots forgot. There were signs last year that a few of them were starting to realize this, but then they freaked out even harder the next week.

Scott Adams pointed out that if it weren't for this hysterical tantrum by the left, the "Walk Away" movement (whatever its significance or size) would probably never have happened. But people get tired of being lied to and get over fearmongering.

548 These options are no longer available for vast majority of people. It is immoral for society to demand work for subsistence and then turn around and deny them employment. A living wage job is an absolute human right.

So a living wage is 100 bucks. John does not work but his wife works. She makes 200 bucks. Is John still owed his 100 bucks? She has a kid and takes off work. Does society now owe John $300? In his spare time (meaning all days) he writes a little book that gets picked up as an Indy movie. John gets $1000. What are his taxes that year? Does he owe his living wage back?

______________________

I'm here to applaud the courage and restraint of that great peacemaker Nelson Mandela, who spent decades in captivity because he refused to disavow the use of violence (like the lovely burning tire necklaces that his dear wife Winnie liked to place around the necks of her enemies, including children, to ensure that they died horrifically painful, prolonged deaths).

See, those mean, evil whiteys who ran South Africa's awful government were willing to release Mandela for decades. But they wanted him to disavow the use of violence by his followers to achieve their political aims. But Mandela always refused to disavow violence, because he knew that it works.

Today, white farmers in South Africa are being murdered and their lands and other property stolen from them, by Nelson's vicious black brothers who knew, as he did, that violence works!

And that's what I'm here to celebrate! I'm a world-class, world-famous statesman who pretends to believe in peace, just like Mandela did! And lefties around the world revere me and ignore my blatant hypocrisy, just like they did for Mandela!

Yeah fundraising and voter confidence is very light in the Dems, they need a new terror every week just to keep their base in line. IF they ever stopped then people might stop to remember how their party spent over a billion dollars with total media support to ram the single most unlikable candidate in human history down their throats over their wishes and lost.

Then they might go so far as to remember the actual content of the Podesta emails, which documented in painful totality the contempt the Dems have for voters, their racism, their corruption, their ownership of a totally biased news media, and so on.

So every week its a new squirrel to the point I think most of these pundits actually have started to believe their own BS.

From the merest mortal to the "Most Highs who rule in the kingdoms of men," we make our choices and play our roles, but mostly we are all only able to look on in awe as we watch the Cosmic Domino Cascade, set up perfectly right in the first place.

609 I think Trump did a perfect job.

I have one simple rule.

I demand proof before I pistol-whip the leader of a nuclear nation
at a press conference. I have never strayed from this approach and it
has served me well over the years.

Opinions and conclusions developed by organizations run by such as
Brennan, Comey, Lynch, Lurch and Clapper does not constitute proof for
me, or Pres. Trump either I would guess.

616 The not-so-funny thing is, once they kill all the Boers, they'll immediately start in on the rather large Asian population (Indian/Paki ancestry, for the most part, if memory serves), then the "mixed-race" population, as the Boers used to classify them.

Although it was kind of touched on in the film, a lesser-known fact about Gandhi is that he didn't give a damn about equality or ending racism when he was in South Africa. He just wanted to end oppression of his group, Indians. The guy wasn't some grand leader of peace and equality and ending racism. He was just an Indian chauvanist.

624 He was the leader of a terrorist organization that bombed civilians, shot up cars and schools, and were building up to do even worse. He was jailed for being the boss of these guys. Mandela apparently over time figured out that was not the right approach -- supposedly -- but never abandoned his communist ideology.
______________________

My dear friend Nelson knew that violence was the only way, he just figured out, in his dotage, that it worked better for him to pretend that he believed in nonsense like peaceful non-resistance and the brotherhood of man. I mean, look how well that shit worked for Gandhi!

But as I pointed out above, the government of South Africa offered Mandela full freedom many times over the decades. The government's only condition was that Mandela disavow the use of violence to achieve his political aims. And Mandela always refused. Because he knew, as I do, that violence is the only way to deal with the evil JOOOOOOs and whitey!

This is what annoys me most about Obama. He actually does, honestly, seem to understand the truth and what to do. He does seem to at least at an academic level know right and wrong and how to address it. His campaign in 2008 had lots of great stuff in it (greater transparency, ending lobbyists running things, listening to the people more, honesty in government cutting waste, on and on).

He just doesn't carry any of that out when he has the power to. He does the exact opposite. So he's not just an ideologue or a fool. He knows what is right and true and refuses to do it.

You either have Faith, or you don't.

I don't.

I wish I did, the comfort would be life changing.

But I can't conceive by any rationalization of a God allowing the horrific suffering I endured as a child, let alone that others survived, or didn't, that was far far worse. Enobilization and worthiness sorting by the Cosmic Rake Test?

I can believe in Satan and Hell though. Pretty much everything makes sense if you postulate a truly evil psychopathic power that creates a species with intellect and free will, then allow them to do evil and create unimaginable suffering for your own amusement, and then ensure that it goes on for all eternity... ya, that I can rationalize. Even throwing out the idea of a God and eternal redemtion, just to increase suffering and conflict makes sense.

663 Whenever I find myself questioning God and how things are going, wondering how this can possibly right, I like to recall Job.

God shows up and says not "here's why this happened" or "you have to be patient with me, Job" or "I love you" but... "who exactly do you think you are?"

God is GOD. We're so ingrained with that American egalitarian "nobody is better than me" spirit of independence its very difficult for us to grasp absolute, justified, perfect authority. Either you trust God to know what He is doing with perfect knowledge and understanding... or you don't.

Even if God did owe us any sort of explanation (which is ridiculous), we couldn't comprehend it if he told us. Its like telling a child to obey you just because you say to obey you, because that 2 year old cannot understand the why's and wherefores yet. He's too young, she's too undeveloped, they're not educated and experienced enough to even begin to grasp why yet. They must simply trust that you know what you're doing, and obey.

And that's us, every day, in every circumstance, with God. We're like an amoeba discussing quantum physics with Einstein.

678 California (GW Bush) Judge Stops Family Deportations, Invites ACLU to Aid Asylum Requests

Meh. This is kind of annoying but its actually counterproductive to the judge's wishes. The SCOTUS will throw this out and make it a permanent, absolute ruling rather than something with some ambiguity.

Not that long ago every movie that had a CIA plot line had the CIA at some sort of crypto-fascist group now all of a sudden they're the mostest awesomest Heroes ever to never be questioned.

Yeah HBO ran one of these every few months, alternating with the "military is evil and tries to take over the nation" plots.

679 There is a massive preference cascade that is accelerating which is a holdover from 2016 in the entire world and not just the US. The elites are desperately trying to beat it back. It didn't work in 2016 or 2017 and all they have done is drive it further underground. The more hysteria they exhibit the worse it will be in November but they have no choice at this point.

Apparently it means that illegal alien families can come here and break our laws, and we not only can't deport them, but we have to provide them with hotel-like accommodations and keep them together in our country, regardless of cost, because they're just so damn special and we have unlimited amounts of money to burn.

The Trump administration needs to take Justice Thomas' hint and start filing appeals arguing that these district court judges simply do not have the constitutional or other authority to make these kind of orders and create new federal immigration policies for the nation. This is beyond ridiculous.

763 739:

"The Trump administration needs to take Justice Thomas' hint and start filing appeals arguing that these district court judges simply do not have the constitutional or other authority to make these kind of orders and create new federal immigration policies for the nation. This is beyond ridiculous."

The problem is the Trump Administration has the Deep State/Obama-Bush DOJ. Of course, a contrary injunction could issue from a Texas district judge (and possibly be just as legally defective, just to shut down the other) but you have to have a US attorney willing to do so.

764 Miracle Whip is a modern plague, like flies or boils. Its a punishment from God upon us.

Remember that "Sandwich spread" Kraft made? Basically miracle whip, with relish in it? *shudders* And Hunt's "Chili sauce" which was very slightly more spicy ketchup.

767 Sling shot??? a little David and Goliath Action?

Possession of slingshot (carried or not) illegal in NJ: 18 months' jail.

Here we go with the long bow vs cross bow debate, in 3...2...1

NJ bow regs are baffling. There is no controlling state law, other than for bow-hunting, which is prohibited within 150 feet of an inhabited building. Many towns, however, have weapon discharge rules of varying severity, which may apply to bows if they're written that way.

And, of course, any other crime committed while carrying a bow (like, say, destruction of property) will get a felony deadly weapon charge tacked on if the police/prosecutors feel like. Which they usually do in the People's Democratic Republic of New Jersey.

768 God shows up and says not "here's why this happened" or "you have to be patient with me, Job" or "I love you" but... "who exactly do you think you are?"

It's also very interesting *what* the Lord asks. It's all mechanical questions? All in what we might generously consider the "realm of Science".

How I read this is that the Lord says to Job: can you understand the basic mechanical workings of what I have created and understand?

This is what I argue to atheists. The creation of this idea that the mechanics of the universe are the basic understanding was first asserted in Judeo-Christianity more 4-5 *thousand* years ago.

Job wanted to know *why* God did what he does--why, as he put it the Lord "smiled at [his] destruction"? The Lord's answer is that Job doesn't even have the tiniest comprehension of what the Lord looks at when he sees the world as it operates.

The Lord never broaches WHY, he just keeps hitting HOW. We don't even know the decisions the Lord has made in Creation, forget knowing WHY he made the decisions if we don't even know WHAT he made.

Cryptically, the Lord throws out one thing from out of the blue. "Job said what was right of me." Muslims interpret this to allow for their capricious Allah. Thus in Islam, Allah approves of Job's comment that Allah smiles at his destruction.

However, as a Christian, I find it more likely that even lacking a cultural conception of afterlife (at that point), and given the much more known grim, gray "Sheol" (mentioned several times in the conversation with the "friends"), Job nonetheless believes that he Lord would gather Job's bones and bring Job back to life--the resurrection of the dead is given as Job's *personal* belief in the Lord as a "Redeemer", about whom Job said "I know my Redeemer lives".

That's the division between Elihu's *naive* trust in God, as Elihu is not confirmed by the Lord, and Job who is confirmed, because Job's long-standing *relational* belief about God's goodness (grace or "charisma")--even in the grim realities and the grim spiritual understanding about Sheol.

Also, the interesting thing is the "redeemer", as in Kinsman Redeemer, who must "walk the land". Job is quizzically, even if not full to his understanding, alluding to the Gospel. (Christian reading). Job believes in the *grace* (or good character) of God, acting through his personal relationship and redemption (Remember Jesus dismisses the "goats" saying "I never knew you"). Thus the Lord can rebuke Bildad and the others, ignore Elihu's doctrinaire adherence, but cannot fail to note that Job--and only Job--spoke what is right about the Lord.

All the players are pretenders to knowledge of sorts. The three patriarchs are the most self-righteous and glib. Elihu by diligently applying the structure of his faith, but dogmatically rebukes everyone. Even Job is wrong in his pretense of having a basis to judge.

The only thing that Job (appears to be) is right in is that he *knows* and trusts in the Lord.
