with drunkenness and gluttony as if with chains, he had made it useless and dead."

It's kind of funny how Hayek's (mostly correct) argument against central planning because concentrating that much economic power in one place inevitably lead to totalitarian behavior is also a pretty strong argument against like, extreme concentrations of wealth and market power

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt collaborates with ICE. Sheriffs escorted and protected ICE in this action.
A judge has ordered the release of an 18-year-old who was detained by federal agents in a chaotic scene inside the Hennepin County Government Center last week.

This is also just the result of not knowing trans people. A lot of us are always exploring our own gender. I know several trans people who transitioned post transition. A friend of mine came out as a trans girl in middle school and recame out as a demiguy a couple years ago as a mid 20s adult.
Pure moral panic. How, precisely, would a child who experiments with a different haircut or pronouns get “locked in” to a trans identity?
The parents who had no problem letting her identify as trans suddenly restrict her from identifying as cis? It makes no sense.

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

So don't take on a Lenten task that's so unbearable that you can't actually accomplish it and end up feeling bad about it and giving up. Sure, Lent is about recognizing that we are sinners in need of forgiveness. Failing can sometimes help us realize that.

Fasting is great. But how does that practice bring you closer in love to God and your neighbor? Consider every time you feel a hunger pang that that is your trigger to pray for your hungry neighbor and/or donate to a food charity.

This is the role the BORTAC agents under Bovino played.
They're the ones who killed Alex Pretti.
I watched them escalate and brutalize people responding to a federal-agent-caused car crash because we were yelling at the agents for arresting teenagers.

Homan on Minnesota: "There will be a small force, a security force, that will respond when our agents are out and get surrounded by agitators. They will remain for a short period of time to make sure the coordination, the agreements we have with local and state law enforcement stay in place."

ICE kidnapped a neighbor in Phillips today along with others in MN. They are still the same rogue, abhorrent, & illegitimate organization meant to terrorize & separate families.
