Official transcript from the US Senate on May 30, 1866. Senator Jacob Howard, who introduced the 14th Amendment:
"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens...”
SCOTUS got this ruling 100% wrong. A total travesty.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court - led by Chief Justice Roberts - failed the American people, the Constitution, and the rule of law today - not to mention endangering the national security of the United Statres. The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in no way stands for the proposition that we must permit a dangerous cottage industry of traveling to our soil to manufacture United States citizenship. That's insane. The Court today should have said so explicitly and ended this damaging exploitation of our laws. Congress must now immediately do at least two things it should have done long ago. First, define the phrase ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ very specifically to make clear that citizenship is tied to the citizenship of the parent, not the soil. Second, completely restrict funding from DHS or any other agency or state that provides documentation and status to anyone not subject to the ‘jurisdiction thereof.’ In other words, Congress must act immediately and must not hide behind the fiction that it must amend the Constitution to fix this abuse of our laws. To do otherwise would be an abject failure of the United States Congress.
@sgruber91@CWforA At best it's because it is ONLY about saving lives to them, NOT about Confessing sin and Repenting from the Evil in our hearts and society. But wait, that also saves lives, and eventually would save more, not just Physically but Spiritually
Jesus identified himself as Jew in the strongest possible ways.
Not only calling himself a Jew in John 4 with the woman at the well but in coming through Mary the descendent of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah, and focusing his earthly ministry exclusively on Jews, choosing 12 Jewish apostles and saying “salvation is from the Jews.”
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
— John 4:22
@SteveDeaceShow All those nations!
HOW MUCH LAND did this center require?
Or did each nation only possess a couple acres of land each, and RIGHT NEXT to each other!?
If the Pope is so concerned with Europe accepting Third World migrants, he should just turn the Vatican into a transit nation. Let him transform St. Peter's Square into a giant tent city and model what he wants the rest of the West to endure.
The story in the Bible that rattled me before I converted to Christianity from Islam:
The two thieves crucified next to Jesus. I never knew about them. Bro. They’re the whole Gospel in one scene.
Two men. Same sin. Same cross. Same dying breath. Same distance from Jesus — mere feet away on either side.
One mocks Him. One turns to Him and says, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And Jesus tells the second man: “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” Luke 23:43.
That man did ZERO good works. He couldn’t. His hands were nailed down. He never prayed five times. Never fasted. Never gave to the poor. Never got baptized. He had nothing to offer but a dying glance toward Jesus.
And Jesus saved him... on the spot.
In Islam, that man was doomed. No time to balance the scale. No deeds to weigh. Game over. A horrible life with a horrible punishment ahead.
I wonder if that would be me…
Yet in the Gospel, that man was in paradise the same day — because salvation was never about his works. It was about WHO he turned to in his last moment.
Two criminals. Same cross. One simple difference: which one turned to Jesus.
That’s why the Gospel is offensive.
And Jesus asks everyone: who do you say I am?
@SteveDeaceShow I wasn't sure if I should just continue laughing at @DeaceOnline and @SteveDeaceShow, or start praying for poor pregnant @Anastasia_Hibbs so that she doesn't break into tears.
Then when it was over the thought came to my head, "Now there's some Iowa nice for ya."
That’s Tennessee and Indiana now who have officially declared June as nuclear family month. If you’re a red state governor and you’re not doing this, why not? Do it now. It is time to go on offense.
You can't get into the military with asthma. The last thing the military needs is people with a severe mental delusion that is "treated" with costly hormone treatments and surgeries that in many case make them actively less capable of being a soldier.
Utter insanity, and in need of a SCOTUS reversal.

Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom.
