@Lonewolf6622 @RandPaul I see, can't think of anything original so why not toss in a nonsensical meme.

Flock cameras do not invade the privacy of people. When you are driving on public streets your car color and license plates are no different that your photograph - they are out in public and therefore NOT PRIVATE.
Say a criminal steals your car - your daughter was kidnapped in the car when they took it.
Police officer would receive a BOLO (be on the lookout) for the color of car, the model of car and the license plates. Patrol units would have to hit the streets and only by random circumstance might they cross paths with the car.

With Flock cameras, the instant the information of the BOLO is entered into the system the police now have every intersection with continuous eyes looking for that car and plate. Within ten minutes of the BOLO entered into the system and sent out, a Flock camera detects the car and send the data to the police. Every unit looking for that car and your daughter can istantly move in to capture the bad guy, save your daughter and return the car.

Think it's hypothetical? Watch Sheriff Grady, yes, THE Sheriff Grady of YouTube and Florida fame talk about how fast they were able to stop MANY human trafficking victims and their captors using Flock cameras. It takes minutes where it used to take days to track down these bad people from our streets.

... and no 4th Amendment violations took place. Everything the Flock camera captured is already in public view.

Communism: where everyone is equal… equally miserable, equally hungry, and equally forbidden to leave.

Getting power to run the farms AND run the AC to keep the stacks chilled would be a major disadvantage of putting those server farms in such an arid environment.

Being just inches away from a foreign nation, damage to burglarize the buildings from the foreign side would be hard to stop. Repair and security would have to multiply just to protect the delicate tech inside the server farms/data centers.
Due to how remote their location, booster stations along the "wire" would have to be built just to ensure enough power was continually flowing TO the centers and increased line strength to protect the data leaving those centers.
It wouldn't be practical OR cost effective.

@PixelPuzzljq Really? "Usury"
It is a noun that means the illegal or unfair practice of lending money at very high rates of interest.

I am Christian. I do not hate immigrants. I strongly dislike criminals.
There are immigrants and there are illegal aliens - they are not one in the same.
One group honors the authority of the government, the other breaks the laws of the government.
I do not appreciate people who break the laws of the land. A true, honest Christian obeys the laws set forth by the government

Do you want to quote the Bible? Romans 13:1-7

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.

For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."

If you are going to pick and choose which of God's word you are going to use for your social experiment in order to justify whatever cause you are supportive of, you can't take one or two verses and say "SEE! YOUR Bible says THIS! You bad Christian!"

For even Satan knows every word in the Bible and he trembles in fear, knowing only those he can get to turn from the saving Grace of Jesus Christ are the ones he can pull into Sheol with him and the eternal lake of fire he, too will be cast.
Satan's only goal is to bring as many of God's followers with him when the final, eternal judgement is cast - and those without the blood of Christ upon them will be cast into the lake of fire along with Satan.
So he will cherry-pick scripture, put it on a t-shirt or a poster board to lead astray God's faithful (he is only concerned with leading Christians astray, for non-Christians are already in his back pocket - the devil needs to do no work on them, he already has them).

No leader, no person in authority is placed in the position of authority without the approval of God. Be they a good or evil ruler, THAT is on them, but when you read God's word, it is clear - OBEY God's word and therefore do not break laws your governing rulers have set.

I love immigrants who obey the law and immigrate to my country and assimilate to the customs of our country. The others? They are criminals who need to do the right thing. Surrender and repent. Then they can add their names to the queue and enter this country legally in the manner in which the laws ascribe.
I love my neighbors enough to want them to come here legally - by coming here legally and abiding by our laws, they are going to live a better life and will not be risking the wrath of the government should they be found here illegally. JUST AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THEY WILL.

I was raised during the Cold War. I remember my teachers teaching me the slogan, "K^ll a Commie for your Mommy".
Now let me make this absolutely clear. I only repeated what I had been taught back in the 70s for my views toward Communism. To fight Communism is the only reason I learned the Russian language in high school and then enlisted into the US Army back in the 1980s as a Military Intelligence Interrogator, 97E/L

Communism has no place in the United States. But even though I made the statement about the slogan I learned young, in absolutely no way am I calling for harm to come to any person simply for their viewpoints.

AOC should be prayed for, to have her embrace the love and compassion of Jesus Christ, to give up the hate she holds in her heart toward people like myself who are white, Conservative, straight men who love Jesus.
I will rejoice when her political career experiment fails, but I reiterate this point: I never want physical harm to befall her or any politician here in the US.

@TeamYouTube ... there is an AI channel that posts HFY sci-fi stories and the channel is "Tony Locke HFY Stories".
I know you've come down hard on these types of channels, but this one has narration that sounds just like my dad when he used to read me bedtime stories when he returned from the Vietnam War.
The stories actually are unique compared to other HFY channels and they are pretty good quality, too.
I thoroughly enjoy listening to these stories and I actually get a bit down when each hour-long on average story ends, I just want more.

Please don't hack this channel up or make them change the format, just let them be as-is.
I'm a YouTube Premium member and I really do appreciate this channel. Being that I am totally disabled from a broken neck, the only real entertainment I can put on and escape into are either movies I buy from YT or from the few HFY channels I subscribe to (with this one, the Tony Locke channel being my absolute favorite).

I know I am a grown, older man, but pretty please with ice cream on top (your pick in flavor) let this channel be as they are, not forced to change.
Pretty please?
I thank you in advance.

"Stop listening to his music?" I don't even know who that is.
Christians, instead of listening to some random musician, pay attention to the word of God - The Book of Romans 13:1-7
"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.
The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.
For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God���s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."

Christians don't push others away, we want to fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ and we want to bring as many people out of their sin-filled lives to live life according to God's plan and His commandments and orders.

If we have a message of God to share, we definitely do not push people away because they don't "approve" of who we voted for or support in political matters.
Politics is of the world. God is of the spirit.
A follower of Christ is not going to push away another believer simply for which "Caesar" they prefer.

Whoever this person is, I assume they are Christian (is he Christian music genre?) If so, he's not setting a good example of the values Jesus taught.
Jesus spoke with a Samaritan woman. She was a social outcast due to her many divorces and living with a man while unmarried, yet He broke Jewish law by speaking to her and SHE became the very first evangelist (not a "righteous" man, a sinning woman was the FIRST person to believe and tell the Good News about Jesus to her people) So much for "Christianity is only about men and keeping women down" - the FIRST evangelist* was a woman Jesus offered eternal life to through His living water!

* Evangelist: a person who shares or preaches the Christian gospel.

If you are interested in reading about Jesus talking to this woman who is fully living in sin, yet He speaks to her without pause or shame, read the New Testament Book of John, chapter 4, verses 4-42
(the longest recorded one-on-one conversation that Jesus has with ANY individual in the Gospels - it is this encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well)

A ... I would support a total ban on using public spaces for Islamic calls to prayer.
They can pray in their mosques if they must, but blocking public ways or forcing their religion into my ears while they are in a public space is not the American Constitutional way.

If they demand a public space provided by taxpayers, they can move to a country that already allows (if not demands) public spaces to be used for such religious purposes.

@Irina_exh 1976 - I would have been 8 years old then, but that looks just like my childhood kitchen of that year.
Her bell bottom jeans and barely nothing top puts this in the mid 70s definitely (based on my memories).

[Johnathan Saegal @JSaegal]

Struggling here ... between #1 and #6 so I would have to go with "Who would I feel most comfortable chatting with in person given nothing but their looks?"
Even that's tough because saying "Hi" and asking her name is often enough to tell you if she's going to waste your time (or I waste her time)...
...
Number 6 ... she looks a lot like a girl in my physics class that was super fun and nerdy to do projects with. I think I'd most likely be able to talk to her without tripping all over my words (keeping it honest).
But that's only based on "she looks like someone I went to uni with and laughed and studied as friends".
Maybe this #6 has a snotty personality.

Because looks fade, they change... number ONE looks like she's enjoying life.
So?
Yeah, I'm choosing Number One. She looks like someone who is pleasant and filled with happiness.

We all could use a bit more happiness in our lives (oh, because I am a "Trumper" you thought I'd only be attracted to a white woman? Sorry, but I have been in relationships with nearly every ethnicity shown and all of them were wonderful women).
58 years old now, that's plenty of time to have figured out who is a decent woman or not.

@OurTownReno Any latest updates? I'm a mile from the last posted evacuation border and suddenly nobody is posting additional updates other than "Zero percent contained".

This says "Made with AI" ... how can we trust information about someone calling for the elimination of a race if you use AI in your post?

I know enough about Hasan to think "If he shocks his dog he probably said that about white people", but the problem in using AI in ANY part of your post is you have to disclose that you used it... now nobody knows what part was made with AI... the image (GIF)? THE WHOLE THING? Is this entire post about Hasan just a deepfake made with AI?

I actually like AI, and I am one of the few who use AI for many things in my life, but I don't post ANYTHING that was made with AI because that creates a shadow of doubt that lingers over any credibility.

I can't trust that you didn't make this entire post from thin air, even that Hasan said anything about the white race. Because you used AI in your post none of it can be trusted.
Sorry.

@RenoPolice Nothing about the Bug Fire near Cold Springs???!!!

[Johnathan Saegal @JSaegal]

I have half a pot of coffee in my tumbler (it keeps it hot for 8 hours). My "gulps" are mouthfuls of coffee and they don't empty the tumbler at all.
I have nerve damage from a broken neck that impacts my sense of touch - including heat, so I have no choice than to cool down the coffee a little - and by no means is it "iced". One ice cube only takes the heat down a bit and the coffee is still hot enough.
As far as the bitterness, it does remove some bitterness and that's why I add those heaping spoonfuls of instant espresso to bump up the harsh bitterness ;)
