My views are only those that people prior to the French Revolution considered sane and normal.

The Democrats are lurching into open Communism, and Tucker Carlson has decided to lead a charge to help them.

@RoKhanna Your character and values are on the table, and you will be so judged.

Stephen is correct - "Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance."

It’s a sick joke that Tucker poses as a patriot.

The Bible texts reading list in Texas schools -
Grade 1: Noah’s Ark (using a picture-book adaptation by Peter Spier).

Grade 2: David and Goliath (adapted from The Children’s Book of Heroes).

Grade 3: Daniel and the Lion’s Den (materials supplied via the Christian Broadcasting Network).

Grade 4: The Necessity of Humility (Luke 14:7–11, NIrV) – A New Testament passage where Jesus teaches that those who lift themselves up will be humbled.

Grade 5: The Story of Moses (Exodus 3 and Exodus 14, NIrV) – Covering the Burning Bush and the parting of the Red Sea.

Middle School (Grades 6–8)Middle schoolers transition into direct scriptural readings focused on poetry, ethics, and teachings from the Gospels:

Grade 6: Do Not Be Anxious (Matthew 6:25–34, ESV) – Jesus’ teachings from the Sermon on the Mount telling followers to not worry about earthly anxieties.

Grade 7: The Eight Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1–12, KJV) and The Shepherd’s Psalm (Psalm 23, KJV).

Grade 8 & Up: The Parable of the Prodigal Son and extended excerpts from the Book of Job and the Book of Jonah.

High School (Grades 9–12)In high school, the mandated biblical texts are designed to be read alongside classic Western literature to provide "cultural and historical context":

The Creation Narrative: Genesis Chapter 2 (the creation of Adam and Eve) is assigned to be read as a companion text to literary classics.

The Concept of Love: 1 Corinthians 13 ("Love is patient, love is kind...") is integrated into the English curriculum alongside classic novels like Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Excerpts from Wisdom & Prophetic Books: High school students will also be required to read selections from Ecclesiastes 3 ("To everything there is a season...") and the Book of Lamentations.

Here is the SCOTUS opinion today on mail-in voting with Barrett writing the opinion for the majority. Disappointing indeed.

@ReallyOldLife Yep. I don't think Unitarians would like it.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett writes another incomprehensible opinion. Once again she votes with the weak-minded faction.

You must make your choice on election day, she writes. But whenever you make that a registered choice is irrelevant. Apparently the voter has to agency in the matter. I will read her opinion. The susceptibility to fraud seems like it would be a huge issue for SCOTUS.

"The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted in elections even if they are received after Election Day on Monday.

"The court was split 5-4 on the ruling, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett writing the majority opinion. She was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, as well as justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

"Barrett's opinion held that Election Day, in the context of federal law, set a deadline for when voters must make a choice regarding their preferred candidate. Relevant laws, however, impose no standard for when ballots must be received to be considered valid." – Fox News

Most political content on the Internet now is designed to divide people by race, sex, religion, orientation, and nationality in addition to ideology, and because algorithmic targeting is so effective, it’s hard to see anything but a conscious unity movement preventing disaster. -Matt Taibbi

“Complexity does not go viral. Layered ambiguity does not build a following. A tragic conflict between two peoples becomes, in the hands of the platforms, a simple morality play: oppressor and oppressed, colonizer and colonized, villain and victim.”

This is going to end very badly for all concerned.
