Things like this are common in the Middle East and Africa.   Muslims killing non-Muslims for whatever reason happen with surprising regularity.   Yet the same people who soil their panties when Israel defends itself against those who call for their extermination, stay strangely silent when it's Muslims killing non-Muslims.  I can't help but wonder what it would take to see students protesting these acts of violence.

I'm no expert, but it seems like letting violent criminals out of the justice system is probably a bad idea.  

 

"The fundamental problem with progressivism—and I say this as someone who was a leftist for my entire life, until maybe five years ago—is that progressives want there to be a different reality than the one that is, and become angered when confronted with reality, and blame."

" Fr. Nix referenced the Red Rose Rescue that he, Fr. Fidelis Moscinski, Will Goodman, and an anonymous fourth protester were arrested for. The four had entered an abortion clinic in Morristown, New Jersey, offering red roses to women in the waiting area."

 

The absolute horror of being offered a red rose.

These numbers probably fluctuate some from year to year, but the reality is the the US can likely outlast both Canada and Mexico in terms of trade.    Worst case for them is that we develop other sources for products and simply move on. Why is no one complaining about the tariffs Canada imposes?

WTH????????????

 One of the big achievements of Trump 1.0 was his nomination of SCOTUS justices.   Yet Amy Coney Barrett just signed on to the ruling that might negatively effect Trump's ability to suspend aid payments.  Why this is especially problematic is that it appears to be a clear violation of the separation of powers doctrine.  The notion that SCOTUS can prevent the Executive branch from engaging in it's lawful, normal conduct is troubling to say the least.   

To be fair Barret wasn't the only one who voted poorly, and Roberts has always leaned to the left more that you'd expect from someone nominated by a republican.  

Fortunately, the ruling might not be as devastating as it seemed and could be worked around by rewriting the EO.

This excerpt from a speech by Ayaan Hirshi Ali  absolutely destroys the unlimited immigration narrative.

It's stories like this that demonstrates that when the DFL wears pink to support "women's rights" they really only mean the right of women to end the lives of their children up to birth and to push their children into irreversible medical procedures that will likely ruin the lives of their children.
