  1. Apparently, you don't understand that being in the national guard is not a full-time job. The national guard is a state militia. Members of the national guard typically hold full-time jobs elsewhere.
  2. Right. Trump reproached the Fed for being too tight in its monetary policy. Whatever the justification for Trump's position, tight monetary policy is anti-inflationary.
  3. Not that the nationality of someone who posts here is relevant can we be sure that you're from the USA?https://www.google.com/search?q=jurist&oq=jurist&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDQ3MDhqMGo0qAIBsAIB&client=ms-android-samsu &ie=UTF-8 North American a lawyer or a judge. https://www.google.com/search?q=jurist&oq=jurist&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDQ3MDhqMGo0qAIBsAIB&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
  4. You know who another church hater and Leninist was? James Madison, also known as the Father of the Constitution. He opposed having chaplains in Congress and in the armed services. And you think the reason that in the body of the Constitution there is no mention of God or any other divine power is because Madison and his peers forgot?
  5. This is one time an IMO will not protect you from the facts. Harris was also the attorney general of California and a U.S. Senator. Do you believe that those 2 offices are filled by civil servants?
  6. Southern Democrats. And one of the Republican Senators who voted against the Civil Rights Act was Barry Goldwater, who became the Republican nominee for President in 1964. With the exception of Texas, he carried the entire South which was formerly solid for Democrats. Hmmm... I wonder why...
  7. Which is also what is needed to get a driver's license. So I guess that they make you get it again even though it was necessary to get the driver's license?
  8. If you have a Thai driver's license, and, of course, a passport, is that sufficient documentation to buy a motorbike in Thailand?
  9. Actually, I got my history from David Kertzer, the distinguished historian, had you cared to check. "David Israel Kertzer (born February 20, 1948) is an American anthropologist, historian, and academic, specializing in the political, demographic, and religious history of Italy. He is the Paul Dupee, Jr. University Professor of Social Science, Professor of Anthropology, and Professor of Italian Studies at Brown University. His book The Pope and Mussolini: The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe (2014)[1] won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_I._Kertzer And not even the Church denies its long history of anti-Semitism. Does Vatican 2 ring any bells for you? And I should have noted that your comment about Nazism's virulent atheism, is just wrong. The Nazis reached agreements with the Catholic Church via a concordat and with Protestant denominations as well. They were allowed to continue to function. Even if the Nazis were atheists, they made no effort to abolish the practice of Christianity in Germany and elsewhere. Hardly the mark of virulent or even militant atheism. That might better apply to the Communist regimes in Russia and China.
  10. If the Thais are building this, why is it that 2 out of the three trapped workers were Chinese and the other was Burmese?
  11. And it closed for the day below $20 Trump Media stock falls below $20 per share, a first since company went public https://www.google.com/search?q=djt+stock+price&oq=djt&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggAEEUYOzIGCAAQRRg7MgYIARBFGDsyBggCEEUYOTIGCAMQRRhAMgYIBBBFGDsyBggFEEUYPDIGCAYQRRg8MgYIBxBFGDzSAQgyMDg1ajBqN6gCCLACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/28/djt-trump-media-stock-falls-below-20-per-share-for-first-time.html
  12. Why would Smith have to bring the indictment now? Hmmm...that's a tough one. Just maybe, just possibly because of this: Court sets Aug. 27 deadline for brief appealing Trump classified docs dismissal Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Trump's classified documents case last week. https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-sets-aug-27-deadline-brief-appealing-trump/story?id=112270892
  13. If by that cryptic comment you mean that it's impossible to prove an absolute negative (well, in anything except math) you have a point. Otherwise, you've got nothing.
  14. If you meant Nazism, why didn't you say so? It's debatable whether Nazism was atheistic. https://www.abc.net.au/religion/hitlers-faith-the-debate-over-nazism-and-religion/10100614 And its anti-semitism didn't come from nowhere. But rather from almost 2000 years of virulent anti-semitism fostered by the Church. Hitler's racial anti-semitism also didn't come out of nowhere. Catholic political parties in the 19th century were virulently anti-semitic not just on religious grounds but racial ones. What follows is from the Historian David Kertzer: "From the very first months in which modern anti-Semitism took shape, the Roman Catholic Church was a major contributor, both directly and indirectly, to its development and its spread. Nor was it simply a matter of the more secular purveyors of anti-Semitism using the old church-linked images of Jews—Favret-Saada alludes to the Nazis’ abundant use of ritual murder imagery, imagery employed just as prominently in the Italian Fascist regime’s major anti-Semitic publication, La difesa della razza. The fact is that, in the wake of the granting of equal rights to Western Europe’s Jews—a nineteenth-century development fiercely opposed by the Catholic Church—the church repeatedly tried to spread the alarm against a rapacious Jewish people bent on reducing all Christians to their slaves. Catholics were warned to beware of their Jewish neighbors, deemed members of a secret world conspiracy responsible not only for capitalism but also for communism." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4800995/
  15. Well I do feel sorry for them. I remember one elderly gentleman who doubled down during the first collapse and claimed that Trump must have some super clever plan that he's waiting to spring on the world.
  16. It's up to you to prove that a link explaining that Biden had exceeded his power has some sort of relevance to the Court deciding the issue on Constitutional grounds.
  17. Rational because China is rich enough and powerful enough to do it? What has rationality got to do with this?
  18. Please. China claims it owns everything within the nine-dash line, which encompasses about 90% of the South China Sea. No other country is making a claim that is anywhere close to that.
  19. Irrelevant. You claimed that the court ruled against Biden on Constitutional grounds. That was the claim I was addressing.
  20. Extraconstitutional? What does that even mean? Do you understand that very few cases decided by the Supreme court actually invoke Constitutional principles? Usually justices search for narrower grounds. Anyway, you claimed that the Justices disqualified Biden's program on Constitutional grounds. Yet you have offered no evidence to support that claim. You've got nothing.
  21. The point of that joke, was, of course, that you're tarring Kamala Harris with Marxism because her Daddy was a Marxist. Literally speaking, the child is not the father to the man. But I figured how else could anyone construe Harris to be a Marxist just because her Daddy was except by taking that proverb literally.
  22. I guess you're a subscriber to the Rumsfeld rule: "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." I think we all know what that led to. Someone here made a claim that something occurred. It's up to them to back it up: From the landing page of the World News Forum "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source." https://aseannow.com/forum/158-world-news/
  23. What is stupid is claiming that" There is a correlation between virulent atheism and paganism to antisemitism."
