I got that as a Christmas gift from my mom some years back. I promptly burned it when she left. I knew better than to give them that data.

Christians get arrested in Dearborn (copied from Grok; but I live in Michigan and remember this happening): Arrests were made in Dearborn, Michigan, for distributing Christian materials (such as copies of the Gospel of John) in the city’s predominantly Muslim Arab American community, particularly during the annual Arab International Festival. This incident occurred on June 18, 2010, and involved members of the Christian apologetics group Acts 17 Apologetics engaging in peaceful evangelism on public sidewalks near the event, which draws hundreds of thousands of attendees from Dearborn’s large Muslim population (estimated at over 30% of the city’s residents at the time). Key Details of the Incident • Individuals Arrested: Four Christian evangelists—David Wood, Nabeel Qureshi (co-founders of Acts 17 Apologetics), Paul Rezkalla, and Negeen Mayel—were detained by Dearborn police. They had been handing out literature and discussing their faith with festival attendees for about three to five minutes when officers intervened. • Charges: The group was charged with misdemeanor “breach of the peace” (Wood, Qureshi, Rezkalla, and Mayel) and an additional charge of “failure to obey a police order” against Mayel. Police cited concerns over potential crowd disruption, though video footage showed the interactions as calm and non-confrontational. Officers also confiscated the group’s video cameras, which captured the arrests. • Context: The arrests happened amid heightened tensions at the festival, a public street event celebrating Arab heritage in Dearborn (home to North America’s largest mosque and a significant Lebanese, Yemeni, and Iraqi Muslim diaspora). Festival rules required religious groups to distribute materials only from paid booths inside the event boundaries, but the evangelists were on public sidewalks outside those areas. Critics, including the Thomas More Law Center (which represented the group), argued this violated First Amendment rights to free speech and religion, accusing authorities of yielding to Sharia-influenced pressures from the Muslim-majority crowd (some onlookers reportedly cheered the arrests with cries of “Allahu Akbar”). Legal Outcome • Criminal Trial: In September 2010, after a five-day trial in Dearborn’s 19th District Court, a jury of six local residents (including Muslim jurors) acquitted all four on all charges, finding no evidence of disorderly conduct. • Civil Lawsuit: The evangelists sued the City of Dearborn, Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Police Chief Ronald Haddad, 17 officers, and American Arab Chamber of Commerce executives for civil rights violations. In May 2013, the city settled for an undisclosed amount (reportedly around $300,000 in some accounts), issued a public apology posted on its website for three years, and removed derogatory statements about the Christians. The apology stated: “The City of Dearborn regrets and apologizes for the decisions to arrest and prosecute David Wood, Nabeel Qureshi, and Paul Rezkalla and the hardship caused to everyone involved.”

Until, one day, the Constitution no longer does. With enough time, those against our nation will continue to infiltrate local and state governments, exceedingly moving into the national ranks. This will allow for the rewriting of the Constitution as we know it. See, Minnesota, Michigan, NY for examples. How quickly we've moved on from "Never Forget", to look who's running for mayor in NYC.

For the most part, I agree. But there are those outliers...No Name, Dan Crenshaw, John Kerry. I'm sure there are more and these are the exception for awfulness.

Doesn't Islam qualify as a "nation"? I def agree with your perspective.

I had to open your post to reveal which alchey you were referencing. There are so many to choose from. Even the "smug" description didn't narrow it down...much.

I believe they have to have 101 House members for a quorum, the Republicans have 88. 51 Dems ran away to blue states. It's either their law or the rules that were passed.

I for one am tired of 30%+ of our yearly income going to taxes (Fed/State/SS/Medicare), especially the last two since we likely won't see it. Then all you hear is that if you just worked more, and spent less you'd be able to retire decently. I've worked more and was punished by owing even more in taxes. Then to see how the government spent it, all while telling us we didn't pay enough. I do hope this happens.

And those that don't own property, imo. Those that live off the taxpayer, not meaning seniors, will always vote for more taxes to support their lifestyle and want to keep those that do in power.

Honest question, my husband and I were talking about the passports last night. Do they NEED a passport if they're flying on a private jet going to a friendly nation or a "friends" island? I don't know how this works. I would only think that they don't fly like the rest of us pleebs.

Amazingly, my Marine veteran can't get a DoD contractor position, because he doesn't have 2 years experience. He worked s different MOS, before transitioning to CyberSec. But these POS communist thieves can get government jobs all day long. We need H1Bs....reeee🥴

Honest question here, is it solely that Indians are lower paid? Or could it be multi-faceted. Could it be lower pay, +++ the fact that they will be more compliant and go along with these tech giants wrong doing, that an American might not put up with. Shadow banning, spying, etc.??

When do the liberal Dems and protesters arrive at Alligator Alcatraz? When they do, will it be televised for free or is it a pay per view deal?

Is there a way to validate if you may be susceptible to this or something like it? Like checking the batch number? Not my family, but my son's fiance got the shot before they were together and now it's become a "thing".

Help/guidance is greatly appreciated.

Crowder raised this point, showed the interview with the Process Server (??), that Trump was the only one that complied with the subpoena.

Neighbor got in a car accident a couple of years ago and hurt his back. Hasn't worked since and trying for SSDI. In the ~8 years that they've lived here, neighbor has worked 2.5/8. On Medicaid, Food Stamps, full gambit. What a racket.
