re: violence. You certainly don’t need a religion to get behind it…

…although the cultures in Mesoamerica were the past masters.
I’ve always wondered why the Blue Mob has such a thing for the Crusaders. It was a pretty minor set of events, the Crusader States held a pretty small sliver of land, not such a big deal. OTOH, the Moslems came out of the desert swinging, wiped out a number of cultures through the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa, Spain, but since they are a protected class now, we just get to hear ‘CRUSADERS!’. Heck, you’d think that someone whose ancestral country was run by the Ottomans for 400 years would know better.
The lesson here more involves the crazy attitude of the Blue Mob than it does history. How can you hope to build a nation of people who look after each other when so many people hate their own culture?

What is your specific view on the matter or do you believe the moment of conception is the sacred moment and any interruption after that qualifies as killing a baby?

Here’s the biggest news of the day:
Senate rebuffs Trump with vote cutting off U.S. support in Yemen
Several Republicans joined Democrats to build a bipartisan majority for the measure.
“The Senate on Wednesday gave President Donald Trump’s foreign policy yet another vote of no-confidence, approving a resolution to cut off U.S. support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen’s bloody civil war.
Seven Republicans joined all members of the Democratic Caucus in backing the bill, which senators viewed as an opportunity not only toreassert Congress’ authority to declare war, but to rebuke the Trump administration over its posture toward Saudi Arabia in the aftermath of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“I think Republicans are just growing thin with Trump’s foreign policy, and they are more willing now to break with him now because they see his foreign policy getting more bizarre as time goes on,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a chief sponsor of the Yemen War Powers resolution, said in an interview.
The White House has dispatched top Pentagon and State Department officials to Capitol Hill to convince lawmakers that the U.S. should remain involved in the conflict — but to no avail, as the War Powers measure will soon reach the president’s desk. Trump has already threatened to veto it.”

Proof the fix was in, its always the footnotes that trip you up!
An internal chart prepared by federal investigators working on the so-called “Midyear Exam” probe into Hillary Clinton’s emails, exclusively reviewed by Fox News, contained the words “NOTE: DOJ not willing to charge this” next to a key statute on the mishandling of classified information. The notation appeared to contradict former FBI Director James Comey’s repeated claims that his team made its decision that Clinton should not face criminal charges independently.
Fox News has confirmed the chart served as a critical tip that provided the basis for Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe’s explosive questioning of former FBI lawyer Lisa Page last year, in which Page agreed with Ratcliffe’s characterization that the DOJ had told the FBI that “you’re not going to charge gross negligence.” A transcript of Page’s remarks was published Tuesday as part of a major document release by the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins.

A little bed time snack for the pony tail of ignorance –
A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday, 11–6, to allow Ohio to end taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood because the organization performs abortions.
Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit wrote Ohio’s law to defund the abortion vendor does “not violate a woman’s right to obtain an abortion,” that the state “has no obligation to pay for a woman’s abortion,” and that the law doesn’t impose “undue burden” on a woman’s access to an abortion.
“Private organizations do not have a constitutional right to obtain governmental funding to support their activities,” the judge continued. “The State also may choose not to subsidize constitutionally protected activities.”

Legalizing abortion and paying for it are separate issues. Best to understand that when discussing this issue. Most such discussions about supporting or opposing abortion go off the rails when someone is accused of opposing abortion only when he’s just against paying for someone else’s abortion. We’re not going to do that here are we?

“Here’s my position

That postion is NOT the new Deemoccratic position. The new Democrat Party position is abortion up to the day of birth. The wild cheering and celebrating of that position erupted from New York to the West Coast as the revelers declared victory..
. Of course, different states have different laws, but the National Democrat Party position and push is for the above stated timeline.
Ironically, any threat to the health of the mother can be accurately detected by the 2nd trimester and C-sections make late term abortions obsolete. Once the infant is born, the prefeerrred method of execution is exposure, i.e., let the baby outside of the womb die of neglect. Exposure is an more palatable word than suffocating orther methods.
The Aztecs would take babies and put them on hillsides to die of exposure.
On a quasi-related topic, it is interesting to note than every know civilization that practiced child sacrifice came to an abrupt and bloooly end by the sword of merciless invaders….or simply ceased to exist for unknown reasons.

Not peaceful after all, just one center had this –
Authorities in a district of rural Germany covered up a long list list of asylum seeker crimes including rape, assault, and child sex abuse so as not to “stir up prejudice”, it has been alleged.
Internal police figures revealed 117 criminal offences took place at refugee housing in Boostedt, northern Germany, during the last three months, and that third world migrants housed in other accommodation in the municipality were listed as suspects in a further 23 crimes.
But officers neglected to announce the incidents after orders from the Interior Ministry instructed police that “active” notifications from the force’s press office on potential migrant involvement in crimes would be “irresponsible”, and likely to “stir up prejudice”, local media reports.

Hilarious – from Paul (who claims he’s not into killing babies) – “After that there needs to be evidence of severe danger to the woman’s child…”
And before that the child gets 86’d without qualms from Paul.
It gets better – “or do you believe the moment of conception is the sacred moment…”
Why do you keep dragging religious terms into the discussion Paul? Is science too difficult for you?
The moment of conception is the forming of the double helix – the completion of all of the information of your being. After that you’re just a constantly transforming glob of cells until you die.
If you claim you’re not into killing babies then you must know the exact second each and every human life becomes a baby. We await your expertise.

But multiple social media users have called out Ocasio-Cortez, noting that the PAC has nothing to do with the groups that lodged the complaints against her.
She then issued something of a correction, claiming it was “Rather same guy who operated at the org,” but the Daily Caller noted her secondary remark also was false.
Former Right to Rise operative Luke Thompson, whom the congresswoman was referencing, was neither mentioned in the complaint against the Republican group nor is he filing ethics complaints against her.
Ocasio-Cortez’s posts came in the wake of multiple ethics complaints that allege impropriety by her.

Fun read
And let me tell ya, every time one of these newly minted Democratic “stars” opens their mouth, the same thought goes through my mind: Thank God for Trump. Trump is my last line of defense. Trump is the only thing that stands between me and these hallucinogenic socialist nut jobs. Trump is what’s keeping chaos and left-wing insanity at bay.
But today, every single Democrat I can name is working overtime to make damn certain that I will pull the lever for Trump again, and with both hands this time. Trump need not worry about locking down my vote––the Democrats are doing all the heavy lifting.
Every time the Democrats and their media allies peddle yet another “end of the Trump presidency bombshell,” I laugh hysterically. If I laughed any harder, people would think I was having an epileptic seizure.

BillT quoting PaulE: ““Here’s my position I believe in a woman’s right to choose up to 12 weeks.”
That position is NOT the new Democratic position.”
I’d pay a pretty sum to see Paul write an editorial for The Union making that case. Of course, the important part is that they don’t have a right to choose at 12 weeks and a day.
Given Blue Mob craziness, they’d be picketing KVMR and some promoted concert or another in a New York minute.
Personally, I think there’s some age after conception where abortion should be allowed with increasing restrictions, although I don’t know enough about human development to pick the age. A more interesting case is how much in the way of state funding should be spent on profoundly disabled or sick children after birth.
Good for Paul for expressing a view that differs from his people, although I doubt he expresses it outside of this hallowed domain.

Super Zip Codes and education feudalism
The legal way to go about these things, of course, is to put up a campus building with your family name on it. Illegal new money bribery aside, the justifications for propping up universities, which often act as little more than elite sorting mechanisms as well as left-wing indoctrination centers, are growing thin.
The federal government spends $75 billion a year on higher education. Taxpayers also hold the ultimate dance card for the $1.5 trillion in outstanding student loan debt, much of which will likely not be fully repaid. For public universities, state-level funds also play a large role.
For their massive investment, Americans enjoy the fruits of their left-wing radicalism incubators in the form of a generation that views socialism as better than capitalism, free speech as dangerous, and America as irredeemably racist, sexist, and bigoted. And don’t forget the brilliant academic research co-authored by felines we all underwrite.
This is the new feudalism. Universities appeal to the public purse on the basis that they form better workers and citizens, and take the best from all walks of life on a meritocratic basis for the study of higher things. The reality they offer is a laughable shadow of that promise, and not just because Hollywood actresses apparently bribe smart kids to take the ACT in place of their children.
The bribery case making headlines yesterday just might be the least fraudulent thing about higher education.

Prohibition, suffrage, good intentions, and abortion. Also, not included in the link, is my new favorite buzz is “our new moral Puritans”. Rather like that.. The New Puritans.
“When women got the vote, one of the first items they wanted solved was the problem of alcoholism. Ken Burns’ excellent PBS documentary on Prohibition highlights the devastation, moral degradation, and deep suffering alcoholism (especially that of men) had on women and children of that time. Millions were made on the daily inebriation of men while children starved and wives were driven to insanity or prostitution. The solution seemed very simple: outlaw liquor.
Women got the vote in 1919 and within a year Prohibition was achieved. Thus began what was probably one of the best–intentioned, worst ideas in the history of the United States. A whole underground mobster culture was empowered by supplying the country with bootleg. And even though Prohibition is gone, the negative effects of it (a greatly enriched mob) are still with us to this day.
What are the lessons of history here? One is that good intentions do not preclude negative outcomes. Beware unintended consequences, and when legislating for the common good, we should always be mindful of human nature.”
https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/article/new-moralism-female-leaders
“The public statements of many early champions of women’s rights in the U.S. make clear their opposition. Elizabeth Cady Stanton referred to abortion as “infanticide” and wrote that “when we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.” Victoria Woodhull, the first female candidate for president, wrote: “Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child, nor think of murdering one before its birth.” And Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a medical degree in the U.S., wrote: “The gross perversion and destruction of motherhood by the abortionist filled me with indignation, and awakened active antagonism.”
