If one person believes Clancy is guilty of murder in the 1st degree beyond a reasonable doubt, then that person should not be pressured into changing that belief or be removed because of it. That’s the WHOLE POINT of a jury trial.

@Ryan_Parkerrr I’d show my ID and proceed to vote. It’s not that deep.

@KennedyNation Absolutely horrible response. Shameful.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Upset with the SCOTUS decision today?

Call your senator at [phone] and tell them to support my Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship. We must protect the integrity of American citizenship.

You cannot claim that you’re aborting your Down syndrome child because you don’t want him to “suffer.” First of all, killing a child so they don’t suffer is psychopath serial killer logic. You’re on the same moral plane as Andrea Yates. Second, children with Down syndrome are famously some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet in your life. They are not in fact living in a state of perpetual torment. So what’s really happening is that you’re killing your child so that YOU won’t suffer the inconvenience of caring for him. This is about freeing yourself of your own perceived suffering. If you’re going to be a child killing sociopath, at least be honest about it.

@itsmorganariel What on earth? She’s a widow, whose husband was brutally murdered. Try again.

I can imagine this being sung as I’m saying goodbye to my loved ones and God is tuning my ears to the music of home.

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.

The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.

The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.

The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.

The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.

The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.

The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.

Now it is today.

Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.

He is confident.

He has always been confident.

The confidence has never been the problem.

The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

@ThrillaRilla369 Prayer isn’t about “working” or even particular outcomes. It’s direct communion with our Holy creator. If our prayers are aligned with His will and purposes, then we may indeed see evidence of what we pray for on this side of heaven.

@ABmrJutt This “take” is demonic. I pray for your soul and those who agree with you.

@LqLana All three of these people support the murder of unborn children through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason. They’ve publicly said so. Please do not conflate obligatory church attendance with a moral compass.

@stephenasmith Pat Summit is the GOAT and it isn’t close.

The Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t say what the far left wishes it said

Didn’t mean that then

Still doesn’t mean that today
