I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over and through me.

@Illogical_USA Powers That Be.
Because most of this goes way higher than our own government.
They're using Hisler's playbook to deport people they don't like and start a most uncivil war among the rest, imo.

If you're allowing the PTB to divide us by hating on another faith (pick one)because of some rage bait BS, then I no longer consider you a person I want to see on here, and I will block you into the next century.
I don't care if we follow each other, you're gone.

@MageeAry You know, I've never been to a city council meeting.

As a side note:
I wish they were this vociferous over the environment (and human) destroying data centers.

This is a nationally coordinated hate campaign to deprive people of their 1A right to worship.
Every 🧕 convert=smaller congregations/fewer tithes.
They could buy the land themselves and put a ⛪️on it, but they couldn't fill it.
CAIR should find funders/sue them into BK.

Arguments about noise and traffic gave way to concerns about the proposed mosque polluting future generations and Sharia law inhabiting the historic agricultural neighborhoods. https://t.co/CUnEnI461J

@raefejenkins Maybe it was the angle, but it looked to me like she moved into that woman to create the incident.
But of course that would only happen in an authoritarian society...
That kind of lawfare could NEVER happen here.

@Christians_era The(Rothschild led)Balfour declaration's fuzzy wording on repatriating the Arabs to Jordan virtually guaranteed eternal ME wars.
Which was probably the goal, instead of creating a Jewish State.
Question:
If Jesus preached peace, then why has our nation been at war for 250 years?

[Sloane @OC_Expat]

@Phyllis94584953 Kind of difficult considering the guy she covers uses the very different power dynamic to create a hostile work environment.
FWIW, the word you're looking for is 'sexual harassment.'
You'd think he'd learn after all the lawsuits.
She should add to those as he leaves office.

@CharliK3700 @Sassafrass_84 Funny, I wear my Magen David everywhere. I was frum/covered my head with a tichel for years.
Still do on Shabbos.
Never had a problem with Muslims.
Some 'Christians'...yes.
And definitely more than a few of my fellow Jews who are embarrassed by my 'shtetl' look.
But ok.

@KosherChutzpah I'm a Jew and enough of a Zionist to have received a few threats on here and I need to say:
My Republic is bankrupt and is selling US assets/cutting back on our own needs.
We don't have the $$$ to waste our forces/funds in a regional conflict.
For an emergency, maybe.
I'm sorry.

Not a decision I would make, but judging a couple for feeling forced to make this tragic choice instead of actually helping to improve social support/safety nets for parents who choose life doesn't feel very Christ-like ( or pro Life)to me.

[Jesse Ridgway @McJuggerNuggets]

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.

The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.

I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.

She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.

Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.

When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.

Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):

50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.

I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.

The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.

We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.

This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.

You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.

To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.

As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.

It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.

Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

[Fr. Joseph Krupp @Joeinblack]

“Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength”

Jesus identifies this as the first of all commandments.
Stop right now and pray. Ask God to tell you how He wants you to show your love for Him today.
Be it a prayer, an action, a sacrifice…there is a way He wants you to show Him your love.
How will you love God today?

@ABQJournal I guess I missed that part in the Bible where Jesus tells His followers to hate their neighbors and drive them from their land...
🤔

[Sloane @OC_Expat]

@NancyMace Has anyone noticed how governments historically do the 'foreign menace' con when they've gone off the rails of Democracy and have nothing to trade for their citizens' votes?
🤪
Usually happens just before they follow an unstable leader into some form of Authoritarianism.

[Sloane @OC_Expat]

@FoxNews Sad we must pass laws to reinforce the Constitution. Maybe if he stopped insulting everyone who disagrees with his increasingly volatile behavior, he might actually be able to get Congressional approval for this mess.
Now, up his meds and bring our troops home.
Good Talk

@RepLuna Congresswoman, we've all seen the vid.
You deliberately turned into her so she would bump you in some way.
I don't love Code Pink, but I like your setting up, then slandering another woman to be Federally charged even less.
Now STHeckU and get back to work.
And shame on you!

[Sloane @OC_Expat]

How would this Administration even know?
They've been using the US Constitution as toilet paper since they took office this time.
Someone should tell them that SCOTUS decides what's constitutional, not a bloviating psychopath and his mentally unstable henchmen.

[The Middle East @A_M_R_M1]

ABC News, citing a White House official:

The War Powers Resolution passed by the House of Representatives is unconstitutional.
