545 votes • Final resultsWhen you hand out punishment based on emotion, that's not empathy. That's not justice. That's vengeance. And my Bible says that we are to stay out of the vengeance business.
My heart breaks for those murdered children. But they won't be brought back by vengeance.
You idiots don’t get to preach about “empathy” anymore. Empathy should have had you screaming for justice for the three children Clancy strangled. But you didn’t care about those kids. You have no empathy. And definitely don’t pretend to give a shit about domestic violence. You already chose to overlook one of the most barbaric cases of domestic violence we’ve ever seen. Best thing you can do now is shut your mouth and go away. None of you have any credibility.

Rest in peace, Dolly Parton. A once-in-a-generation talent, a fierce advocate for literacy through her Imagination Library, and a rare example of someone who built an empire through hard work and generosity without losing her kindness. She took it upon herself to help kids learn to read. Her non-profit has given away over 332,000,000 free books to kids. Her legacy of self-reliance, voluntary charity, and spreading joy will outlast us all.
On his show today, @EWErickson said (regarding Flock) that "if you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear." He should know better. He should know that many people who have done nothing wrong have been done wrong by government, and admitting it isn't even partisan.
I mean, even leaving aside the growing number of cases of police officers abusing the system. Innocent people have been hurt even by cops who thought they were going after criminals, because they are relying on a flawed system.

This absolute abuse of privacy needs to stop.
Time and time again police are showing why they can't be trusted with this.
Deflock Georgia and Deflock the nation.

As we celebrate our nation's independence this weekend, it is worth remembering that this revolution wasn't fought only to free ourselves from Great Britain, but it was a revolution to proclaim that this nation in a new world would be one rooted in the principles of liberty and equality under the law. That all people are created equal and should therefore be treated as such before the government. And that government should be restrained from invading the peaceful lives of individuals.
I pause here to say that I recognize how imperfect that application of liberty was in our founding. Slavery and the lack of agency and freedom for women are areas of imperfect liberty made better through the struggle and suffering and diligence of untold millions.
But as we celebrate our nation's independence, we celebrate moving away from titles of nobility granted by blood and instead founded a nation that looks to merit and hard work as designations of nobility. That anyone, from anywhere, can come to this land and make themselves better through their hard work is the true sign of American greatness. It is the true genius of our founder's design for a nation.
As we gather round with familiy and friends for BBQ and fireworks, think about the incredible courage of those who fought to free our nation from the notions of an old world to make a bright new one founded in liberty. Think about the millions who followed to make this a more perfect union. And think about the work that is still unfinished to fulfill the promise of our declaration of independence.
I am a proud American, and a constant skeptic of our government.
Just as the founders intended.
Happy Independence Day weekend.
Peace, Love, and Liberty,
Chase

"A serious liberty movement has to be able to say two things at the same time: the government should not censor bigots, and we do not have to build a home for bigots.
That is not hypocrisy. That is basic self-respect."
Amen!

The statement of one ofour eyewitnesses, in her own words:
“I personally witnessed the entire situation. Multiple men AND women were egging him on, recording and DEFENDING his actions. The hotel staff, who also witnessed the entire thing, gave their statements to police which added to the validity of the arrest. I saw her with some papers in her hand, I'm assuming those are the magazines in question. I heard her say "I thought they were free?" (And they've been free all convention so it was probably a fair assumption). They then continued yelling at her "thief" and other shit I couldn't comprehend. All of a sudden, the dude wound up and open palm slapped her so hard people came running from inside other rooms because they heard it. I immediately jumped to action and yelled/asked him why the fuck he'd hit a woman? The people around started MAKING EXCUSES saying "she stole our property". The woman was sobbing and holding her face, and said "I thought they were free" again. I yelled "idgaf what she stole, that's not fucking proportional and what a pussy ass bitch move to hit a small woman". I made sure to turn my attention to the women recording and condoning his actions and asked what the fuck is wrong with them, pick me ass bitches. I'm so fucking done with feeling unsafe as a woman in this party because people refuse to stand up, even when they witness a completely unnecessary assault. Idgaf who hit who or whose side they're on. Wrong is fucking wrong. Anyone making excuses for this or claiming this was ok or proportional to whatever she was accused of is fucking gross”

But even in the United States, there are two issues — and only two — that have always endangered the public peace.
What are these two issues? They are slavery and tariffs. These are the only two issues where, contrary to the general spirit of the republic of the United States, law has assumed the character of a plunderer.
Slavery is a violation, by law, of liberty. The protective tariff is a violation, by law, of property.
It is a most remarkable fact that this double legal crime — a sorrowful inheritance from the Old World — should be the only issue which can, and perhaps will, lead to the ruin of the Union. It is indeed impossible to imagine, at the very heart of a society, a more astounding fact than this: The law has come to be an instrument of injustice. And if this fact brings terrible consequences to the United States — where the proper purpose of the law has been perverted only in the instances of slavery and tariffs — what must be the consequences in Europe, where the perversion of the law is a principle; a system?

so let's get this straight
the RINOs are the ones who want the government to follow the Constitution, and the real Republicans are the ones who think we shouldn't be a Republic any more?
An analogy on an aspect of the Immigration issue that I don't think enough people consider. Please feel free to share. Or if you disagree, please give me your best debate.

The President can't even acknowledge the death of another person without making it all about himself, and referring to himself in the third person.
Now that sounds to me like a real Derangement Syndrome.

Meet Jaicobi Freeman and Kaliyah Chism, loving parents to their three beautiful children.
In April 2024, their oldest son, Kylen, was voluntarily taken to the hospital after concerns about a possible leg injury arose during a routine diaper change.
Like many parents caught in Georgia's family policing system that You Are The Power advocates for, Jaicobi and Kaliyah’s story begins at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). It continues with the involvement of a Child Abuse Pediatrician (CAP) and the premature diagnosis of non-accidental trauma or abuse.
At CHOA, Kylen had X-rays that showed a possible leg injury and multiple rib fractures at different healing stages. According to a 2023 NCBI report, asymptomatic infant rib fractures are mostly unrelated to abuse and shouldn't be used to diagnose child abuse. Yet, repeatedly, through flawed circular reasoning and without considering all relevant facts, medical records, and family medical history, that is exactly what CAPs at CHOA do. Jaicobi and Kaliyah were accused of abusing Kylen, which led to involvement with the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS).
The couple raised their concern with the CAP, who noted that Kylen had several abnormal lab results, including an extremely low Vitamin D level. However, the CAP dismissed these findings as unrelated to the fractures. Instead of addressing Jaicobi and Kaliyah’s worries about their son's health—such as the possible connection between Kaliyah’s low Vitamin D and her son’s poor bone health-Kylen was diagnosed with non-accidental trauma or abuse. This CAP is part of a team of doctors at CHOA known for falsely accusing innocent families across Georgia, causing unnecessary harm to the very children they were supposed to protect.
While the parents were with their son, DFCS was removing their daughter, Kamyrn, from her maternal grandmother’s care. Jaicobi and Kaliyah were escorted out of CHOA; both children were taken into state custody, awaiting foster care placement.
Soon after sharing their story on their personal social media accounts, Jaicobi and Kaliyah were arrested and charged with multiple felonies. They received a bond, but it came with strict conditions that banned them from seeing their children and having contact with any child under 16. The parents were even prohibited from receiving medical updates about Kylen and Kamyrn, potentially violating their parental rights.
Recently, Kaliyah gave birth and transferred guardianship of the baby to her mother to keep him out of Georgia’s foster care system. Kylen and Kamyrn remain in state custody with strangers, separated from their baby brother, even though the CAP testified at a court proceeding that Kylen’s bones were not optimal, an opinion supported by two independent defense expert witnesses.
Jaicobi and Kaliyah need our help. There is a link in the next thread that explains how.

1/ A repatriated Korean worker from the Hyundai-LG battery factory secretly wrote a detention diary about their 7-day experience in ICE custody in Georgia. The worker says ICE officers mocked them with words like as "North Korea" and "Rocket Man" despite holding a business visa.
As the pastor who married my wife and I used to say, whenever I point a finger at someone else, I'm pointing three back at myself.
If you say "the left needs to quit condoning violence," you need to also condemn those you agree with politically who use violent rhetoric
If you say "the right needs to quit condoning violence," you also need to condemn those you agree with politically who use violent rhetoric
Tend your own garden first.
That being said
Any Libertarian who condones the use of violence for political change I fully oppose, and they are in direct contradiction to the aims and principles of the Libertarian Party.
Here's a fact, the biggest purveyor of political violence has been the government itself, who bombs people around the world and supports others doing the same. Who violates our privacy here at home and uses mass media to distract and divide us.
The rhetoric and, more importantly, the actions of the government have been far worse in size and scope than any pundit or commentator.
This is regardless of the party in the White House, btw.

This Sunday, I am keeping in mind that the salvation afforded to me is also afforded to those I don't agree with and that all of us are imperfect beings.
No one will always say the right thing, do the right thing, or act the right way. No one will ever be flawless.
It's those imperfections that actually unite us as a family of humanity. All of us are brothers and sisters who, at one time or another, will need to ask for forgiveness or forgive another.
So, while we all live different lives, have different passions and priorities, the one thing we all have in common is that we won't always have the right answer.
Have a little grace with one another. See if you can't find common ground. See if there aren't ways to find a greater understanding of those with whom you disagree.
A world of deliberate love and extended hands is better than one where we insist upon division and silo ourselves away.
Today, I'm going to pray that we all recognize our imperfect nature and, in doing so, find the capacity to forgive others as we wish to be forgiven. – at Atlanta, GA
