You made my point for me. I’m smart enough to know his incoherent ramblings won’t turn into anything in the real world. And that certainly qualifies as an incoherent ramble.


Plenty of people who worked with him don't trust him either. And none are Democrats.

Blood test for Alzheimer's.

How long before this test will part of a physical exam for middle aged or elderly patients? How long before reporters start asking about the results of this test for political candidates?

The same-sex marriage issue is close to the abortion issue, with exceptions such as, a person's premeditated death doesn't occur.

Both have the affect of lowering reproduction rates, in which countries need to survive.

They also have the effect of turning a country to conservatism, because of the albeit slower removal of genes from the gene pool.


Again, regulating a person's will, will never work.

It has to be learned, sadly, usually the hard way, then taught.

But while we still have some freedoms, because the USSC has not been "officially" overtaken yet (by the Communists), this issue is likely to be handed over to the States also.

Kim Davis files brief in effort to potentially overturn Obergefell ruling on homosexual ‘marriage’

Jul 29, 2024

A team of conservative attorneys is making another attempt to force the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its 2015 decision to force same-sex “marriage” on the country, starting with a brief to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of former Rowan County, Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis.

After the Supreme Court’s controversial Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that forced all 50 states to recognize unions between members of the same sex as marriages, Davis declared that she would cease issuing marriage licenses, arguing that her required signature on the documents would constitute a personal endorsement of homosexual unions that violated her Christian beliefs.

Her resistance to the new normal has persisted for years despite public pressure from lawsuits, judges, and politicians alike. Last year, she was ordered to pay $100,000 to a same-sex couple to whom she refused to issue a marriage license on top of damages awarded to other plaintiffs. The nonprofit Liberty Counsel vowed to appeal on her behalf.

This May, Liberty Counsel filed its notice of appeal with the Sixth Circuit, arguing Davis was not liable for damages to anyone and touting the case’s “potential to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges and extend the same religious freedom protections beyond Kentucky to the entire nation,” calling the move the beginning of a “march to the Supreme Court.”

On July 29, Liberty Counsel shared that it had filed the brief itself the previous Monday, a move that had caught the indignant notice of far-left publications such as Jezebel and LGBTQ Nation, and which the group said U.S. Vice President and presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris has begun incorporating into her speeches.

“The uproar since then has been staggering,” Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver said. “Once again, our offices are being flooded with hateful threats. And my wife, Anita, president of Liberty Counsel Ministries, has received a direct threat. But we will not falter!”

“Our argument is straightforward: Obergefell should be overturned for the same reasons articulated by the Court in the Dobbs decision that overturned abortion,” Staver contended. “As with Roe v. Wade, the activist High Court at the time was wrong when Roe was decided and it is wrong today because it was based entirely on the ‘legal fiction’ of ‘substantive’ due process, which lacks any basis in the Constitution.”

As a practical matter, overturning Obergefell would not change the status quo for marriage. Ever since President Joe Biden signed the so-called Respect for Marriage Act in December 2023, federal law codifies Obergefell’s denial of states’ ability to recognize only male-female unions as marriage. But reversing the 2015 precedent would clear the way for states to set their own marriage laws again if the RMA is ever repealed.

My problem is that I will forget to take the test, probably the first sign that I am losing my memory.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Now insane Joe is threatening Speaker Johnson.

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

Jul 29, 2024

President Biden was just asked on the tarmac about Speaker Johnson calling his Supreme Court reform “dead on arrival.” “That’s what he is,” Biden said. Asked for clarification, a reporter shouted, “That he is?” Biden responded: “He is. Dead on arrival.”

I haven't seen one of these before.

Fake?

Jul 27, 2024

A fireball crossed the skies over Budapest during an event.

This type of phenomenon has been portrayed several times in the past.

Could it be some kind of omen?

We know that at some point after that something went wrong for them.

It will be a natural or unnatural phenomenon?

Remember that soldier that ran over the demilitarized zone in N. Korea who wasn't even worth their normal propaganda it seems. They probably researched him, and said, nope, throw this one back.

Satanists have been volunteering as counselors in Florida public schools after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a law pressing for more religion in education.

Members of the Satanic Temple stated that they are ready to act as volunteer chaplains under state law HB 931, which had taken effect earlier this month, opening campuses to more “counseling and support to students” from outside organizations.


Even though the law leaves the implementation of chaplain programs to different school districts and only needs schools to list a volunteer’s religion, “if any,” DeSantis made it clear that it intends to restore the tenets of Christianity to public education.

Without the bill, DeSantis declared during its signing in April at a Catholic household, people are “basically saying that God has no place [on campus].”

“That’s wrong,” he added.

The Satanists view the law, which comes during a vigorous drive into education by the religious right nationally, as an opportunity. If Christian chaplains are allowed access to students, often at very vulnerable and impressionable stages of their lives, then so are they, they argue.

If I was a student in any FLA school I wouldn't let ANY of these religious volunteer counselors anywhere near me. I;d tell them to go prostyletize to someone else, if they know what's good for them...
