I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.
So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.
As a liberal who has lost all faith in the current iteration of the left, I have a few thoughts:
1. Describing all of the rioters in England as far right racists, or racist adjacent, is a way to discredit the legit concerns of the populace. He later goes on to describe this technique without realizing he just did the same thing. This is pretty elitist. I followed the riots pretty closely, and yes, some were racist, but they all had legitimate concerns that were being ignored. Ergo, mass riots.
2.…
I followed the riots pretty closely, living where they happened. I am desperate to know how looting shoe shops and bakeries is going to address any of this, let alone setting fire to hotels endangering the lives not only of the asylum seekers but also the staff. Particularly just over a month after an election when these people were heard, they just didn’t have the political weight to Result in any significant representation at a national level. If we are now arguing that losing an election mea…
Hey now! Just want to draw awareness that this type of criticism was off limits in the United States during approved riots of 2020.
It is fair criticism that only one side (however unmeritorious) has institutions fall down heavily upon it when behaving in the same way, while the other side gets puff pieces in the media and "scientists" write papers in peer-reviewed journals about how the applicable riots are net-on-net good due to the policies the rioters are advocating for.
So what. Even if you take it as given some level hypocrisy here in the coverage of the events by the mainstream media (which of course never includes the massive right wing media sphere for some reason), which fair enough there is argument to be made there, but it doesn't do anything to respond to the fact this riots were entirely an inappropriate reaction to a lot of false narratives in UK. It is worth highlighting the hypocrisy here in the desire to engage right wing apologetics while maximizing your rhetoric against left wing riots. This is empty what about isms. It should be easy to condemn this behavior on both sides and it does say something that you're compelled to engage in this what about ism when it comes to someone condemning right wing riots. It is like when right wing partisans want to bring 2020 riots every time someone tries to pin them down January 6th. Granted that is much less appropriate comparisons because two events have obviously important differences. Regardless it is bs rhetorical tactic.
