Someone who didn’t eat the Mona Lisa.

People don’t revere the framers, they treat our founding mythos similarly to religion. They embrace what they like and what reinforces their beliefs while ignoring things that they find inconvenient. Primarily they ignore that very little was universally agreed upon by our framers and that the Constitution is the result of significant compromise. When someone says, “The framers believed…” they are almost always wrong and actually only framing what they believe in a way that they think gives it more credibility.

I bet if we could see the itemized list of charges it would include a previous balance and delinquency fees. Either that or he’s doing some serious hydroponics.

$100k is about the average household income in the US, the average single income is about $67k. So about a year and a half of the average wage. And median income is much lower (median household income is about $44k) indicating that high income households have a much larger effect on the average than low income households so the average middle class individual income should also be much lower than the average individual income.

If I were in the friend’s position I doubt I would have gotten a close enough look to differentiate. The autopsy said the victim had “multiple chop wounds” including to the skull so it was probably a machete or ax attack. With lots of long deep wounds and blood there wasn’t much chance he was alive when the friend found him so it’s plausible that the friend didn’t actually go into the campsite, just saw the blood and assumed it was a bear because what other animal could do that much damage.

They pulled a Nixon!

William Clifford might call it a problem of credulity and he might even have an idea about one of it’s root causes.

The Satanic Temple supports it’s trans members using the same basis as it’s stance on abortion. There are 7 fundamental tenets of Satanism. The third states that “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.” and the fifth is “Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.” Based on these tenets it is the religious stance of TST that trans individuals have a fundamental religious right to decide what happens to their body and a religious obligation to reject unscientific claims and “treatments” with regard to their gender identity.

The effort is underway. Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic is a Satanic abortion clinic in New Mexico that offers teleheath consultations and medication abortion through the mail.

There are lots of special considerations for a legal standpoint concerning Native Americans because technically they compromise several semi-sovereign nations within the US’s borders. Some of the treaties the US signed with them during westward expansion are still enforceable.

The people who most benefit from DNA ancestry are people who want to know where they came from but documentation is scarce or non-existent. In the US that group is primarily composed of the descendents of slaves. It can also help people descendent of native groups who only know that they are from some native people of North America identity a particular tribe.

I’m going to try to explain the revocation of power of attorney from the sovcit point of view, keep it mind that none of this is how anything actually works and that it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

There are two different entities at play. First is the strawman that the government created when they generated the birth certificate. The strawman was sold to foreign investors as collateral for loans and the cash used for that collateral was placed into a Treasury account in the strawman’s name. The second is the natural person who the strawman represents. By filing the correct paperwork to declare that the natural person does not consent to the sale of their strawman and does not wish to contract with the government the natural person can separate themselves from the government no longer being a citizen or subject of the government but a sovereign unto themselves. When the natural person becomes sovereign they gain control of the strawman and, by acting on behalf of the strawman, can access the money in the Treasury account. To be able to contract on behalf of the strawman and use the Treasury account they grant themselves power of attorney over the strawman. When they buy the car they do so on behalf of the strawman and contract for the loan using that POA. After attempting to pay using the money from the Treasury account one step that they can take when that payment isn’t accepted is to, again acting on behalf of the strawman, revoke their own power of attorney for that particular transaction. By revoking their right to contract on behalf of the strawman they believe that they are invalidating the loan contract and, because the loan contract is with a different company and separate from the purchase agreement they believe that invalidating the loan contract does not invalidate the purchase agreement so their strawman gets to keep the car.

The A-10 is vulnerable to AA and to fighters, that’s why establishing F-16 patrols first is important. I’d also prefer that the A-10s either be escorted by or fly in mixed formations with Ukraine’s Soviet era fighters.

Once they use those F-16s to establish air dominance someone needs to give them a few A-10s to help them speed up retaking their territory.

Yes, I edited my comment to fix the spelling. Thanks for letting me know about the error.

The DNA match that the author claims is very suspect. Here is a good article about why. The bullet points are:

Shawl: There was no contemporary documentation that the shawl was recovered from the crime scene

There was no contemporary documentation that the Inspector that supposedly took the shawl and gifted it to his wife was at the crime scene

The shawl was silk and had an expensive design making it unlikely that Eddowes would have owned it

DNA: The DNA collected and compared was mitochondrial DNA which is far less unique than nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA is generally considered exclusory rather than inclusory

The shawl was not kept free from contamination, descendents of both the identified victim and the identified suspect are known to have handled the shawl prior to testing

On top of the problematic DNA match from his last book the author is now layering on conspiracy theories concerning Freemasons and antisemitism for his new book to draw even more questionable conclusions.

Edited to fix link and spelling

If you’re interested in the worst of it you should look up firebombing and why it was so effective against Japan.

In American politics the “love it or leave it” trope you are using is undeniably right-wing rhetoric. It was first popularized in that form by McCarthy and Nixon as a response to civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protests. It has since been used by Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump primary in response to either protests or immigrants that they believe have not sufficiently assimilated into American culture. It’s also probably the most unAmerican trope currently used in American political discourse. Protest and criticism of government is fundamental to America’s history and identity and is covered by 3 of the freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment.

There should be outrage if everyone walks away from this without any real consequences, there was significant negligence and disregard for safety on the movie set and it resulted in a death. This conviction should be overturned anyway. There isn’t even the illusion of fairness or justice when the state is allowed to hide and even destroy evidence as they have in this case. For the state to strip rights and freedoms from a person it is incumbent upon the state to prove that the person has committed the crimes of which they have been accused and to do so in a fair and open process.

I’d suspect the nationality of the individual may play a role.

I’m not convinced. Kevorkian was acquitted 3 times and had one mistrial for basically the exact same thing back in the 90s and US opinion has continued to soften on assisted suicide since then. It’s legal in 10 states. Kevorkian was eventually convicted of 2nd degree murder but that was after he pushed the button for a patient and represented himself in court. Maybe Swiss officials are giving it undue scrutiny because she was American but I doubt that American officials are pushing for this to get any special attention.
