America was founded largely by Protestants escaping religious persecution from both the Church of England and the Catholic Church.
This is why America has such a Puritan/Quaker backdrop with early legal systems (1600s) reflecting many of these characteristics.
The freedom of religion marked in the first Amendment stems from this distinct drive of religious refugees coming over to North America so they could practice freely.
In similar fashion, Jews came to Israel to build a refuge after facing mass perseuction across Europe from expulsions, to pogroms, to the Holocaust.
Both groups uniquely threw off the British colonial empire to establish a new government that would offer greater liberty and protection from persecution.
This is the real reason why there are so many parallels with America and Israel and why there has been a cultural alliance.
The people who are most likely to decry this are Catholics, Muslims, and atheist leftists (who just hate anything that involves what they call "capitalist colonial imperialism by white supremacy").
And that's because these particular histories are in conflict with their religious/political vision.
Catholics want a strong Vatican with a Catholic order for the world.
Muslims want a global Islamic caliphate under Sharia.
Atheist leftists want global democratic socialism or communism.
And the libertarians who just want peace by property rights through a classical liberal order are often stuck dealing with these ideological fights that distract from the root: people must adopt voluntaryist ethics and free market capitalism if they want true peace and prosperity.
Javier Milei is showing the world how it is done.
More people need to pay attention and follow that lead.
.@ChadBianco will always have my support as long as he stays principled to protecting people and protecting our liberties and rights. He is a great Sheriff for Riverside County!
Restore our 2nd Amendment rights for Californians!
@RepThomasMassie Orange County is actually really decent compared to the rest of California, especially Los Angeles County!
No taxation without representation!
Taxation is theft!
I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race.
This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office.
I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.
The attempted assassin was a California liberal who bought firearms not banned there, or anywhere else for that matter.
He went through every one of your laws in your “#1 for gun safety” state without issue. He then broke every law in the Capitol in his attempt.
Nothing you advocate stopped this. They all failed.
Everything we advocate did.
Are you finally ready to admit you just want a total ban on civilian gun ownership?
President Trump says he is willing to give up his liberties for safety, even though FISA was weaponized against him by “bad people.”
“I’m willing to give up my security for the military.” -DJT
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
-Benjamin Franklin
The suspect bought his firearms (legally, it seems) in California, your favorite state.
Again, if you want to call for a full gun ban, just come out and say it you cowards.
Though when it comes to assassins, even that doesn't work, as the Shinzo Abe assassination proved.
This guy traveled cross country on a train to carry this out, and didn't reconsider. No gun laws would have stopped him.
So as his bluesky posts indicate, pretty standard leftwing views, mainstream even (Dem politicians say similar about Trump), except that he actually acted on them.
Like it or not, he has a point about the security, and that needs to be addressed.
Also, what's with him "exempting" Kash Patel? Wonder if he threw that in just to troll.
Because He rose from the dead.
His rising from the dead fulfills Scriptural prophecies that were written centuries earlier.
The fulfillment of those prophecies proves that the Bible is true.
Those prophecies say that He will be God and Savior, and that through Him we have eternal life if we believe in Him, repent to Him, and surrender our lives to Him.
So believe, repent and surrender, Adam. I sincerely pray you do. God Bless.
My CEO has a lot battle scars.
After selling PayPal to eBay, he netted $180 million and then bet it ALL.
1/ $100 million into SpaceX
2/ $70 million into Tesla
Then 2008 hit him hard. Three rockets blew up. Tesla was bleeding $ millions every month in the financial crisis. He was getting divorced and basically broke and in debt.
He woke up the Sunday before Christmas thinking he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown…
“…it seemed pretty dark.”
But the fourth Falcon rocket finally made it to orbit, which if it wasn’t successful, SpaceX would go bankrupt. Soon after, NASA called with a $1.6 billion contract. Elon couldn’t even hold the phone… just a simple “I love you guys!” And Tesla investors closed a round on Christmas Eve.
He got SpaceX and Tesla out of hell by the skin of their teeth.
Those battle scars built the future we’re living in today.
This is a reminder to NEVER give up.
