We will all answer for what we say and what we believe. This girl has added to her judgment.
If one takes this patronizing argument at face value, one must also accept that gun buyers, too, are at risk of making impulsive decisions they might regret—hurting other people. But there is an important difference between these two categories of ostensibly regrettable decisions: Only one brings harm to others. One decision leads to the termination of one’s own pregnancy, and the other to the murder of breathing, life-living, outside-the-womb human beings.
There are few clearer statements of a society’s values than this: We place more trust in the self-knowledge and decision-making skills of a would-be mass murderer than we do in a pregnant woman. To put it another way, in Georgia, it is easier for a man to gain the capacity to maim and kill other people’s bodies than for a woman to obtain medical care for her own.
On Wednesday, Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds said that Long “gave no indicators that this was racially motivated.” Instead, law enforcement officials said, Long claims he is addicted to sex, and the spas were a “temptation he wanted to eliminate.” This attempt to disentangle race from sex and gender, and racism from misogyny, is wrongheaded and futile. The fact that Long targeted Asian-owned spas, and that the majority of his victims were Asian women, is no coincidence; the “temptation” he cites—and his decision to visit violence upon the particular people and places he blamed for it—didn’t come from nowhere. However Long explains himself, the devaluing and hypersexualization of Asian women and their labor are essential context for his crimes.
She has no idea what the motivation was for the shooting. She’s just making that up, and she’s paid to be offended.
On the other hand, by treating the unborn as not worthy of life and not even created and designed by God, she may as well throw children into the fire for Molech.

Judge Silberman wrote a dissent challenging not only how the majority applied New York Times Co. v. Sullivan to the case before it but also challenging the entirety of the Supreme Court decision. It’s this last aspect that makes Silberman’s dissent noteworthy.
Silberman points out that “Justice Thomas has already persuasively demonstrated that New York Times was a policy-driven decision masquerading as constitutional law. *** As with the rest of the opinion, the actual malice requirement was simply cut from whole cloth.”
Although Silberman acknowledges the difficulty inherently in overruling “landmark” cases, he has come to see the 57-year-old New York Times opinion as “a threat to American Democracy. It must go.” And then Silberman goes into overdrive defending the Constitution.
He makes plain his disdain for Justice Kennedy’s contention that “criticism of the Court is tantamount to an attack on the Constitution.” Instead, “I readily admit that I have little regard for holdings of the Court that dress up policymaking in constitutional garb.” It’s that kind of dissimulation that is “the real attack on the Constitution.” Indeed, “[t]he notion that the Court should somehow act in a policy role as a Council of Revision is illegitimate.”
I have only one correction I would make. I don’t have “little regard” for such legal antics. I have no regard for it.
So just to make clear, I consider all such decisions to be illegitimate, judges and justices who do that sort of thing to be usurpers, impostors and tyrants, and all of their decisions illegitimate – even those decisions which benefit me. I don’t need them or want them. To me they are all clowns and carnival barkers, pretending authority and wisdom, and when God sits in the heavens and mocks them, I follow suit here on earth.
Is that clear enough for you, Mr. Kennedy?
Over the weekend we linked a hysterical piece opposing open carry in S.C. He recapitulates his points and gets even more hysterical.
“This is sending a message that these legislators and myself stand with the citizens of South Carolina to protect our constitutional freedoms,” Cox said this week.
Double hogwash. Citizens currently can legally purchase guns. Not having open carry does not impinge on their freedoms. Rather, they just have to follow reasonable rules — just as they do if they want to drive cars or live in a civilized society.
We might be tempted to explain that driving cars isn’t mentioned in the constitution, or to correct his wording (“impinged” isn’t the right choice of wording).
That would miss the point. Rules are all “reasonable” if he agrees with them. Even the act of living requires his rules.
He is a controller. He is god.
South Carolina has their collectivists too.
What South Carolina legislators do not need to do is to expand the pervasiveness of guns. Already on the books are processes and procedures for citizens who want to be armed to get concealed weapons permits if they want more security.
But is that good enough? Apparently not. Hours after the Atlanta slaughter, South Carolina House members threw caution to the wind and passed a bill that will thrust handguns into the open.
S.C. Rep. Phillip Lowe, R-Florence, actually had the gall to say on the House floor this week that open carry was needed because of South Carolina’s heat. Opening his jacket at the podium, he said when someone with a concealed weapons permit was carrying a gun they would violate the permit if they took off the jacket because it was hot … and that’s why open carry was needed.
Really? Was he serious? In my book, if you have a concealed permit and you want to carry, you should put up with a little sweat as the price to pay to feel safe. Guns that are out in the open are much more dangerous than one locked away at home.
And right there in the final paragraph he explains his psychological problem, the one that really requires professional help to ameliorate.
First he explains that he understands that people carry concealed weapons. Then he contrasts that with weapons remaining and locked away at home. You see, to him, if he can’t see it, it doesn’t exist.
This is a mental dysfunction, and he understands that it is, but in order to help himself, he’s willing to sacrifice your liberties. He refers to “my book.” That’s his book of rules for everyone.
And you know what I’ve observed about people who have rules for everybody else. The desire to control others is the signal pathology of the wicked.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that a Washington school district can ban a former coach from praying on the field after football games.
Joseph Kennedy, the school’s former football coach, sued the Bremerton School District after alleging his rights were violated when the district banned him from praying in the middle of the football field after games ended, according to the court’s ruling.
“Kennedy’s attempt to draw nationwide attention to his challenge to the District showed that he was not engaging in private prayer,” the three-judge panel ruled. “Instead, he was engaging in the public speech of an overtly religious nature while performing his job duties.”
Next up, hatred for the traditional family.
A New York City judge has removed a 6-year-old girl from her mother because she did not wear a mask while dropping her off outside of the school.
In a shocking and egregious move, the court also told Dr. Epstein that in order to get short supervised visits with her child — she will have to wear a mask inside her own home.
Those who hate God pay with their souls. And systems of government that hate God pay with the collapse of society.
The 10 Most Powerful Handguns in the World.
The .44 magnum is a sensible buy in my opinion in spite of the stiff recoil. One can shoot .44 special with it, and then .44 magnum if the need arises.
But I don’t think I want to shoot most of these handguns.
The South Carolina House gave key approval Wednesday to a bill allowing people to carry guns without concealing them.
Legislators voted 82-33 in favor of the so-called open-carry bill after more than six hours of debate, with some Democrats joining Republicans. The legislation would allow people who already have a concealed-weapons permit to keep those guns visible in public.
The state is just one of five without open carry, joining atypical partners such as California, Florida, Illinois and New York.

“This bill brings us in line with the vast majority of the country,” said lead bill sponsor Rep. Bobby Cox, a Republican from Greenville.
Some of the debate was clownish.
Gilliard says a Black person won’t be able to open carry as freely as white people because of racial profiling. Fellow Democrats agreed with the point.
Freshman Rep. Jermaine Johnson, D-Richland, said as a 6-foot, 7-inch tall, 285-pound Black man, having a gun on his side would make him a target.
“Think about me and my family. I’m tired of going home and telling them to have to talk to my children about what they can and can’t do as a black person,” he said. “I am scared for my children’s lives.”
The bill doesn’t force people to open carry, it only allows it. If you’re concerned, then don’t do it. Your objections have nothing at all to do with open carry. Spend your time trying to reign in law enforcement. I’ll be right there with you.
Now, it’s time to start on the South Carolina senators, who, I predict, won’t be as enthusiastic as the House. They’ll gesticulate, hem and haw, vacillate, supply unctuous commentary and prose, and in the end, if South Carolinians don’t move on them, let this die on the floor of the senate with words like, “It’s complicated, we need to study this some more, we ran out of time doing the business of the people,” and such claptrap.
It is common knowledge on the internet, that (( )) is a synonym for Jewish, yes, so lets dispense with the nonsense and speak plainly, shall we?
Let us stipulate that supremacist movements, whatever their origin, are wrong. Movements which seek to deny others their humanity and turn them into something less than that. Movements which seek to scapegoat and persecute others who have done no wrong. This is true no less of Jewish supremacism than it is of Islamic or national socialist or communist supremacism.
In other words, if there are Jews doing what you accuse them of doing, then they ought to be held to account for it. They ought to be identified and censured in public, in the light of day. If they have committed crimes, they ought to stand before the bar of justice. At the very least, make their acts a part of the public record.
Here’s the thing, though: Vague statements about “The Jews” or using (( )) – do nothing to remedy the problem, if indeed it exists in the first place. All they do is make the accusers look like unhinged nut-jobs. And alienate and make enemies of people – including many Jews – who would otherwise be sympathetic to the cause of preserving what remains of western civilization and the U.S.A.
So rather than rant and rave on the internet to no good purpose, why not supply evidence? Specific names, specific acts of wrong-doing, and so forth? Once you have actionable intelligence, hand it over to the local DA’s office. Then maybe, maybe, if a crime has been committed, you’ll get some sort of action. If that doesn’t work, then maybe the Veritas Project would be interested in your findings.
Oh, and one other thing: It is common practice for the authorities employed by certain agencies and NGOs to plant anti-Semitic material on websites they wish to discredit. The SPLC has been doing it for years, to name one example. The way that little game works is that their operatives plant anti-Semitic or other inappropriate material on the site, and then they can come back and point the finger at the host of the site, accusing them of racism, bigotry, xenophobia, whatever.
The founder of the SPLC, a nasty little piece of work named Morris Dees – a hard-left Jewish lawyer – got to be so toxic that not even the political left could stand him anymore. When he got caught abusing women a few years back, it made firing the guy that much easier.
See? Specific names and actions…. now, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
Or “the tribe,” or “those who must not be named,” wink wink, or whatever.
Frankly, it’s stupid, and I roll my eyes every time I see it. Stop it.
The Turkish Muslims caused the genocide of the Armenian Christians. Hitler went after the Christians before (or at least at the same time) as he went after the Jews. Pol Pot killed everyone who wasn’t favored by him, people who complained about being relegated to state workers, or who had money. The genocide of the CCP is legendary, and Christians still suffer today under the CCP.
Idi Amin went after the Christians with fervor. The Muslims almost decimated the church in Mesopotamia. The current U.S. and various state administrations are okay with the church, as long as the official line is the state line, they observe the new woke ideology, and they don’t meet for worship. We’ve yet to see how far they will take things, but history doesn’t paint a pleasant picture.
And if you think since you may not happen to be a Christian they’ll leave you alone, you’re crazy. You can add to the list the Rwandan genocide, the Venezuelan genocide, the Haiti massacre of 1804, the aggressive and offensive Islamic conquests of Europe (against which the Crusades had to be fought), the Catholic repression of the Protestants leading to the war on the Huguenots, Sherman’s brutality in the South, the Chinese civil war (nearly 12,000,000 dead), and on and on and on we could go.
Any man without God, given the right opportunity, wants to control others. I’ve observed before that the desire to control others is the signal pathology of the wicked. My words were carefully chosen. It is a sure, infallible sign. You can disbelieve in God is that’s your choice. Be a fool if you want to. The fool has said in his heart there is no God.
Whether you believe or not has absolutely nothing to do with His true existence. God doesn’t ask you if He can exist. He demands obedience. Evil exists because of the fall and federal headship of Adam. There have been wars and genocide since the beginning of time, and there will be until the end of time.
Call the problem what it is: rejection of the God of the bible. This has nothing whatsoever to do with race or nationality. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Every man, without God, would enslave you. If it isn’t a Jew, it will be a black, or Muslim, or Caucasian, or Asian.
No man will respect your liberty or right to worship the true God without himself being saved by the true God.
Turn to the living God and understand the true break, the fault line, the fracture, that defines all of history, without a single exception. As I learned from my professor, Dr. C. Gregg Singer, without understanding God and His decrees, you cannot understand history.
