Are the claims of “blocking the site” by European Parliament overblown, then? Could an average Frenchman easily access the supposedly blocked site?
Is it just people in France who can’t view the twitter files webpage? From what the X post was implying, the European Parliament was censoring it, and isn’t Finland subject to that?
The whole Macron situation makes hiring a pornstar as your hooker, paying her hush money through your attorney, then 8 years later somehow being convicted of 34 felonies for bookkeeping errors related to it seem downright normal.
What really seems to set our Constitution apart is, in my opinion, directly connected to the idea that our rights come from God, Jesus, The Creator, or any other potential synonym, even if you are a hard atheist.
This idea is actually reflected in the federal government’s structure, where it is extremely difficult to change the core ideas of The Bill of Rights, and they are enshrined to a degree that sets the USA apart from Canada or anywhere in Europe.
Maine’s Constitution is similarly stubborn, which is why we have experienced most of the woke lefts’ public policy wish list here, but not gun control. Maine’s Constitution also references God in the first paragraph.
Maine’s Constitution doesn’t leave any wiggle room for a muskets or militia argument when it comes to gun control, which is why we still have constitutional carry and almost none of the ridiculous gun laws featured in other states that use the public education system to indoctrinate children into transgenderism.
Like I said it mostly comes down to a semantic argument , if they were truly god given and unalienable, every country would have the same ones which we clearly do not. Lest we mix the two topics you’re never supposed to talk about and this spins off into a religious thread too I’ll make that my thought on it and give you the final word if you so choose.
Everyone has the same inalienable rights, it’s just that some governments use a variety of legal frameworks to deny them, including American governments at times.
My argument is actually secular. It doesn’t matter what you or I believe. The people who laid down the unique legal framework of the USA believed that our human rights came from the Christian conception of God.
Muslims have a similar theological basis for their legal system, but with many notable differences in the resulting legal framework.
I’d like to keep riffing on this idea a bit more, even though I don’t know how to riff on any musical instrument except the kazoo. I’m the guy who just pressed the saxophone keys during band recital and then went on to have the bongo drums taken away from him in a hippie drum circle several years later.
I go on and on about Democratic Socialism because I think it is the right term to describe the ideology of Democrats in 2025, plus a lot of them self-identify as such.
Setting aside the entire insane policy platform of Democratic Socialism for a minute, I think we’re actually in a conflict that’s even more fundamental than an ideological battle. Regardless of what you believe the word “spiritual” to mean, it seems to me that the political battle of 2025 is, at its core, a spiritual conflict. Maybe it always has been.
When China rises to be the next global superpower, we can forget about all this nonsense about human rights though. They will give us new definitions to follow.
JD Vance is being very clear in his communication regarding the obliteration of the alleged drug smuggling boat.
In 2025, I see fentanyl traffickers as hostile terrorists waging chemical warfare on our population. This ain’t Cheech and Chong smuggling bricks of weed. It is long past time we begin disincentivizing fentanyl with violence.
Can anyone in here honestly say that if Biden or Obama had started sending the military exclusively into “red cities” and saying they’re about to find out why it’s called the department of WAR that you all would be okay with it ?
“Sanctuary” cities that give aid and comfort to illegals. Gangbangers, murders, rapists, all who stormed our borders due to the policy blunders of your two favorite points of reference.
If they were under the same conditions as " blue cities"…i.e. inmates running the asylums, no law and order and the nothing is being done to protect the citizens by the local governments…absolutely I would I be ok with it
