[On 11 September 2001 radical Islam carried out its most devastating attack on those they identify as infidels and kafirs, their name for the rest of us on this globe.  On this day of remembrance it is incumbent on us in the west to reflect on the state of Islam, and especially its quiet ongoing conquest of Europe, whose belated recognition of and opposition to what's happening is deemed racist by the Left.  Lest we forget, Europe is just the warm-up, with the battle cry 'Death to America!', an Islamic America is their main objective.  gjr]

    Right Dougy, Trump killed’m. He personally held their heads under water. Of course you hold the PR government blameless. They have no responsibility in this. It was all Trump’s fault.
    I see you did’t read above, or even got the facts. Our aid was far and above any other disaster. And just like Paul, you don’t want to hear that.
    Attribute those deaths to Trump’s handling of the situation. Dare ya’ smart ass.Show us hard facts. Not Dougy TROLL shit.
    Funny, You bitch about Trump not bringing up the mess ups that did happen.

    Just saw the video of Kavanaugh regarding what Paul Emery says he said. Yes he said to the panel what the plaintiffs said. And Paul Emery is once again lying through his teeth. That is the last creds you have with me. Kavanaugh was speaking what the suit said. It was not his words. And you knew it when you lied about it here. Shame on you and I suggest you take some journalistic ethics classes before coming back here. What a louse.
    Kamala Harris doctored the video. She leaves off the first two word he said. He said “they said”. Now we see what a liar Harris and what the country would get with her. Lying liberals. Disgusting. And here is the Politifacts transcript so Paul can go screw himself and his media pals.
    “Harris cut an important second out of the clip — the attribution. Kavanaugh said, “They said filling out the form would make them complicit in the provision of the abortion-inducing drugs that they were, as a religious matter, objecting to.”

    I do believe you guys are pissing in the wind with PaulE. Being a progressive is never having to say you’re sorry – part of the benefits.
    I take progressives’ comments here as statements of their beliefs engraved in granite. There is no argument with them to be had for profit; your performance here is for those readers still able to integrate new information into what they know and believe. It’s only for that reason that these exchanges are useful, and they are only useful when you reply with reason, logic, and verifiable facts. The more you use ad hominems, the more you weaken your case in the eyes of the undecided. Let them do the name calling and reap those ‘benefits’.

    Thanks Dr. Rebate. And I was going to say:
    1) all the pissing in the wind still does not change the fact that Harris lied by doctoring the video.
    2) the reason PR is suddenly so important to the unhinged is they are trying to tie it with Florence and are wishing something very horrid happens so they can blame it on Trump. Natural disasters are a golden opportunity to bash Trump.
    3) It’s Trump’s fault that the millions of water bottles delivered to the government of PR sat there because the government of PR was too lazy or too inept to pass the water out to the needy in their midst.
    4) None of his would have happened if Trump did not start the process to get us out of the Paris Accords, a several year process. If Trump did not diss the Paris Climate Money Grab, Florence would never had formed n the Atlantic in the first place.
    5) Point one is not up for debate. Harris is a lying sack of shit.

    The case involved involved a group called “Priests for Life” who believed that use of contraceptives contraception is indeed the same as an abortion in a case Kavenaugh presidedover . Judge Kavenbaugh ruled in favor of the group and admitted to it in the third day of his testimony..

    George, you are correct as we see Paul Emery still lying about Kavanaugh in the above post. The reason he gets name called is it is a return the favor move. We are all sorts of things to liberals, like EVIL, so they feel they can lie and cheat and we are EVIL. I for one am sick of them and Paul Emery is a fine example of lying liberals. I get it that you want the readers to see what loons they are but sometimes they really get on a roll and need some backhands.

    The reaction to this study has grabbed my interest. Yes, it’s just one study and the author says more studies are needed. But, the very idea of young people being influenced by their peers (and social media in today’s world) is nothing new. Heck, We already knew that teens’ friends have more influence over our teens by the time they are 13-14 years old than their parents do…years ago. Ain’t no secret.
    “This makes it obvious why transgender activists do not want this information public. It suggests many gender dysphoric young people hit a rough patch in life (or several), have poor or immature coping skills, and got the message from peers, online, or both that transgenderism was a handy, simple explanation for their feelings that also offered instant social acceptance and attention.”

    If killing a fetus is the definition of abortion, and a fetus is a critter somewhere between a fertilized ovum and someone whose hair showing in a dilating cervix, then can we not agree that post-coital contraceptives that kill the fetus are indeed performing aborting functions? This notion is totally independent of arguments for or against abortion. All that Kavanaugh did was to render a narrowly construed assessment of a given contraceptive’s function. For that remark progressives now have their undies in a bundle??!

    “Kavanaugh sided with their legal argument in the case, not their views on contraceptives.”
    Exactamundo, my good man. Our host has repeatedly, in his despair, pointed out some Lefties simply cannot wrap their minds around nuances and complexities of issues. To them, it’s all black and white, all or nothing, yes or no. No displaying any critical thinking or appreciation of grey areas.
    For example, the baker in Colorado case. SCOTUS did not decide (or side) with the baker’s arguments concerning his rights to refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple or not. Instead, they sided with his agrument that governmentt (State of Co) displayed hostility and overt bias to the baker in the CO Civil Rights Commission’s hearing into the matter. In effect, SCOTUS “sided”with the baker’s agrument that he did not receive a fair hearing, not whether he has a right to refuse to bake a custom cake.
    Another example was SCOTUS’s ruling on CA’s pregnancy crisis centers. Requiring groups whose goal is to have women continue their pregnancies to be forced by the State to advertise where women can terminate pregnancies placed an undo burden on the crisis pregnancy centers….as the State could do its own advertising where to get an abortion.
    “And even if the state had advanced a concrete justification for the notice requirement, Thomas continued, the requirement still places too much of a burden on the unlicensed centers’ speech. Thomas noted that, as the state had agreed at the oral argument in March, a billboard for an unlicensed center bearing the message “Choose Life” would also have to include a 29-word notice “in as many as 13 different languages.” “In this way,” Thomas suggested, “the unlicensed notice drowns out the facility’s own message,” making it unlikely that an unlicensed center would even try to have “such a billboard in the first place.”
    Again, SCOTUS did not rule on the merits of pro-life verses pro-choice arguments or points of view. SCOTUS sided with the argument that Government put an undo burden of the crisis pregnancy centers’ speech.

    re BT’s 8:53 –
    It is troubling to see information suppressed although that aspect of it is certainly not news. The stories I have read about the ‘rise’ in transgenderism lately caused me to wonder if this wasn’t just the latest fad for many. Mass hysteria is real and can now spread via the electronic village world-wide just as it did in older times among actual villages.
    It is true among many academics and shrinks to now claim your DNA has no hold on your ‘gender identity’. If that fact is true, what else about my physical description can I ‘re-assign’? When the inmates run the asylum, don’t expect much progress with any of the patients’ health.

    It’s the ole “Dare not go there, you Must not go there…or else”, that bothers me. Whether the inquiry is into differences between the two sexes, climate change, or the influence of peers on decisions young people make, it’s all the same. It does not fit the narrative. Shut it down.
    Climate change? No one denies the climate changes. Once went out in the Southwest with a co-worker to meet Mr. Ranger. Mr. Ranger met us at a locked gate and took us into an area closed to the public. I found a small piece of pottery on the ground. Mr. Ranger looked at it and said that is about 800 years old and placed it back on the ground. He got excited when I picked up a piece of pottery that was 1500 years old. He explained that the people of that era were basket weavers. As I surveyed the barren landscape as far as the eye could see, not a tree or a speck of green for countless miles of barren land could be found. Mr. Ranger said at one time this whole region was covered with tall grass (thus the basket weaving) and streams flowed through the area, providing the people and wildlife with plenty of sources of food for their substance and communities. Today we call it “the desert”. Climate changed in 1500 years, 800 years. What does the science say about how much is human caused? If we all lived in caves for the next 200 years and never started even a fire or touched a fossil fuel and shut down everything, would the predicted catastrophes be avoided?
    I remember when one of Reagen’s Cabinet guys said for people to wear hats to avoid the then crisis of the hour….skin cancer…caused from exposure to intense sunlight. Boy, that created a firestorm. Guess folks wanted government to fix it. Hats are good advice today, ridiculed yesterday.
    Dare not go there.

    The Trump administration recently sent a notice to Congress saying it plans to divert $20 million allocated for foreign assistance to help Mexico deport up to 17,000 undocumented immigrants from the country, according to a New York Times report published late Wednesday.
    The money would reportedly help Mexico pay for the plane and bus fares of deportees. Central Americans attempting to flee to the U.S. via Mexico will be the main target of the initiative.
