    Today I am going to force my mother to accept me as her Sabbath goy. No, Mom, if you want me to do something, it’s going to be on my timetable, not yours. “Fine I’ll do it myself Monday.” You just said you couldn’t. “I’ll find a way.”

    Yeah, no.

      On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him. But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” And he got up and came forward. And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” After looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so; and his hand was restored.

      Tell her the pharisees weren’t the good guys in that passage…

    Why it matters: The shootings have deeply unnerved members of Congress, who feel that any one of them could be the subject of an unanticipated attack — particularly at home in their districts and while in transit.

    Golly. And why in the world have things gotten to this point?

      They could have Maxine Waters defend them.

      Size of security detail should be inversely proportional to the number of times “threat to our democracy” or “literally Hitler” has passed their lips. You wanted civil unrest, you can live with it.

    “Though I identified as press and had my badges / credentials displayed, an officer still shot me with a rubber bullet,” Schaffer reported. “Another shot a tear gas can at me. They are targeting press.”

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/gateway-pundit-journalist-shot-rubber-bullet-tear-gas/

    Photographer from the NYPost got hit with a rubber bullet last week, and even got a picture of it mid flight.

    But I doubt they are targeting press.

    • R.J.

      Last time that happened, the press was actively participating in a riot.

      • Common Tater

        They are both from right-leaning outlets.

      • R C Dean

        Part of the lefty riot playbook is to put some of their on-the-street shotcallers in “Press” costumes. All part of their strategy to provoke a response and then weaponize it via the captive media. “OMG, the cops are targetting the press” – straight out of the playbook.

        Of course, the police have no way of knowing if any given person in the crowd of rioters is an actual member of the press or a cosplaying rioter.

    • Grummun

      How hard is it to print up some fake press credentials?

      Regardless, I’m guessing the po-po didn’t have an implicit exemption for the press in mind when they said “disperse, now.”

    • Jarflax

      The first amendment guarantees that the Government won’t shut down your press or censor your reports. It doesn’t protect you from getting hurt if you stand in the middle of a riot the police are fighting.

    The struggle for privacy

    n 2009, former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt asserted, ‘If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place’. It was the kind of sinister, technocratic remark that neatly captures our age – an age in which privacy is treated less as a right than as a cause for suspicion.
     
    It’s the mindset that sociologist Tiffany Jenkins takes aim at in her superb new book, Strangers and Intimates: The Rise and Fall of Private Life – a bold and necessary intervention in an era in which the private self is being actively dismantled.
     
    Strangers and Intimates is not a work of nostalgia, harking back to some golden age of private life. Instead, it traces the historical roots of our current malaise with forensic precision and admirable clarity. Jenkins shows that the distinction between public and private life is not a given, but a hard-won achievement. Born out of the Protestant Reformation and further developed during the Enlightenment, the private sphere was once a refuge from the public world, a space in which to think and reflect freely. A space in which one developed one’s autonomy. That space, Jenkins argues, is now vanishing before our eyes – and we’re no longer even sure what we’ve lost.

    Thank you!

    Can’t we have some fiscal discipline around here?

    After his speech, Trump was presented with a traditionally folded American flag — a gift usually reserved for the family members of fallen soldiers.

    Since the parade was announced, there has been sharp criticism, particularly from Democratic lawmakers who call the showcase self-indulgent and a misuse of public funds.

    A gift reserved for the families of fallen soldiers; or possibly the Commander-in-Chief?

    What’s forty or fifty million bucks in the grand scheme of things? If we can’t wipe out the debt with a single stroke, why bother?

  12. The Late P Brooks

  13. The Late P Brooks

    Other critics have said it’s a display of military force typically associated with autocratic governments in places like Russia or North Korea.

    “It’s a vulgar display,” Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California said during a news conference on Friday. “It’s the kind of thing you see Kim Jong Un, you see Putin, you see with dictators around the world that are weak.”

    All the really cool kids just find a pile of dead bodies to stand on, and pluck at the heartstrings of the rubes while pretending to care.

    ““Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” a senior ICE official put out to other authorities, the New York Times reported.

    Deport them all. And I’m gonna side with lefties and say go after the employers knowingly hiring and employing illegals. Or knowingly whitewashing through subcontractors.

    • rhywun

      Lefties are saying go after the employers? That’s strange given how pro-illegal alien they are.

      • Gustave Lytton

        No, they’re still all for it. The employer part is concern trolling + anticapitalist kneejerking.

    • Jarflax

      Can we work out something where we keep Juan the farmhand, and instead deport two or three blue haired college students in his place?

      • Pat

        I might could be persuaded to sponsor a spicy latina or two, to even out the exchange.

    • Common Tater

      If you deport everyone who is technically illegal, not only would there be an unworkable administrative bottleneck (immigration “judges” work for the executive branch), there would be massive social and economic disruption. There is enough chaos already.

      • Pat

        Been hearing that for 20-odd years. The upshot is that if you can’t enforce your laws because some constituency is incapable of functioning without violating them, you don’t actually have any laws, and you need to decide if you want to continue the farce or you don’t.

      • Common Tater

        It’s been way longer than that. Although it’s impossible to be sure, the last number I heard is that perfectly legally, the U.S. can only have around 12,000 immigrants a year. Regardless, the corporate donors who own the legislature want way more than that. So it’s this constant back and forth. Reagan let in a bunch of illegals, Clinton deported a bunch of them, Biden let in a huge number of illegals, and now Trump is trying to kick them out. Although, my favorite “policy” was Obama letting in illegals and deporting them at the same time.

      • Gustave Lytton

        The Reagan amnesty didn’t work.

      • Gustave Lytton

        The Reagan amnesty wasn’t letting people in. It was the utilitarian “we can’t deport them all/it’s too cruel”. And it didn’t work. Illegal entry continued and increased as Mexico went into a basket case.

      • Common Tater

        Reagan increased legal immigration, which also increases illegal immigration.

      • Pat

        the last number I heard is that perfectly legally, the U.S. can only have around 12,000 immigrants a year.

        That’s the number without any special skills-based sponsorship, etc. And doesn’t include family reunification. We do a little over a million legal immigrants a year and presently have a foreign born population that’s higher (though not radically so) than the historical norm.

        If you want to end illegal immigration tomorrow, repeal the entire federal labor code, return the issue to the states, and let employers compete for talent in an environment where there’s no legal advantage or disadvantage for hiring an itinerant Honduran vs. a 16 year old high school kid to pick crops, flip burgers, or change shitty diapers. We want to have it both ways where we have a permanent grey market underclass to dodge around the regulatory conditions we’ve imposed that make it untenable for low margin businesses to operate, but can still pat ourselves on the back for our moral superiority.

    • R C Dean

      JFC. Either deport anyone here illegally, or just give the fuck up on it already.

    “I am completely terrified of what’s going on in our country,” said protester Margo Ross of Watsonville, Calif. “I believe from the beginning it’s been a coup and a fascist overthrow, and I keep thinking, ‘Well, it can’t get worse.’ And then it gets worse and worse.”

    Yup. If not for that stupid 22nd Amendment Obama would still be our supreme lord and master and everything would be perfect.

      It’s the fucking dumbest thing about the anti-Trump movements: The notion that everything was fine before he showed up. No previous president even slightly verged into unconstitutionality or authoritarianism.

    Unspeakable heartless cruelty

    The events that unfolded that Wednesday, and the days that followed, illustrate the human toll of more aggressive methods the Trump administration have taken to detain migrants in the United States — taking into custody those who arrive for routine check-ins, while also conducting workplace raids that have unleashed waves of fear across Southern California and beyond.

    ——-

    Across the nation, demonstrators have taken to the streets, with hundreds of protests on Saturday as part of the “No Kings” movement that organizers said seeks to reject “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.” The tumultuous week also reflects the complicated landscape of immigration in America and controversial enforcement actions that shape public perception.

    “These are tactics that we haven’t seen before on this scale,” said Amada Armenta, UCLA associate professor of urban planning who specializes in immigration enforcement.

    Those poor immigrants were lured here with tales of streets paved with gold and easy living. And now the rug is being pulled out from under them. Maybe if our immigration laws (and enforcement) weren’t such a disaster things might be different.

    It’s sob stories, all the way down.

    “Losing control of your borders and then expecting impoverished communities to pick up the slack. Imposing mass migration on a public that never asked for it. A multicultural state that sacralises difference over unity, and segregation over integration. A political and media class that has covered up horrific crimes committed by members of certain minority groups, for fear of how those supposedly bigoted whites will react. If you wanted to stir up ethnic conflict, if you wanted to burnish the hateful agendas of the hard right, you’d struggle to find a better playbook than this.”

      On Monday, rioters attacked the homes of the alleged perpetrators, but also those of other, entirely innocent Roma, who now reportedly make up half of Ballymena’s Clonavon Terrace.

      To be fair, hasn’t that been happening to gypsies Romani “Roma peoples” for 1,500 years or so? Everything old is new again.

  20. The Late P Brooks

    In an about-face, the Trump administration ordered ICE to scale back raids and arrests targeting farms, eateries and hotels — industries reliant on immigrant labor, according to an internal email and three officials with knowledge of the guidance cited by The New York Times on Friday. Officers should refrain from arresting “noncriminal collaterals,” or undocumented individuals without criminal records, the guidance said.

    Focus on the criminals and the parasites. What a novel concept.

    • Fourscore

      “Focus on the criminals and the parasites. What a novel concept.”

    • Gustave Lytton

      Illegals who have criminally entered this country, which is almost all except visa overstays, but haven’t been convicted are not “non-criminals”.

      • Common Tater

        Overstaying a visa is also illegal.

        Also, technically, immigration courts don’t have convictions. They aren’t criminal courts.

    • creech

      I’m sure Hitler responded to push back the same way?

  21. The Late P Brooks

    The Trump administration’s immigration policy “affects so many children of immigrants who are growing up with legal status in the United States, or people who have relatives who are undocumented or legal permanent residents. People who are naturalized citizens are worried and afraid,” said Jody Agius Vallejo, a professor of sociology at USC and associate director of the university’s Equity Research Institute. “There is not one person who is not touched by immigration in California and it is why these people are out there on the streets.”

    So many people successfully flying under the radar for so long, until Biden and his pals opened the flood gates and made the whole mess impossible to ignore. If those people want to hate somebody, they should hate Biden.

    • Common Tater

      “they should hate Biden”

      They do, there has been a huge shift among legal immigrants.

    Menace to society

    A former Harvard Medical School professor who claims he was fired for refusing to receive the Covid-19 vaccine was appointed on Wednesday to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s advisory panel for immunization policy.

    ——-

    Kulldorff, who held a faculty position at Harvard and worked as an epidemiologist at Mass General Brigham, argued in an op-ed in the right-wing magazine City Journal last year that the two institutions fired him because he “objected both publicly and privately” to vaccine mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic.

    In October 2020, Kulldorff co-wrote a memorandum which argued that institutional lockdown policies prior to the development of a vaccine would “cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.” His co-authors were Oxford epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta and Stanford professor Jay Bhattacharya, who now serves as the director of the National Institutes of Health.

    The memorandum, which the trio titled “The Great Barrington Declaration,” recommended that all workplaces and schools fully reopen to allow the United States to achieve “herd immunity,” which is when a virus stops circulating because a sufficient number of individuals develop immunity.

    How could a man who believes such dangerous nonsense ever have been employed by Harvard?

    • Sensei

      Tenure before the inmates completely captured the asylum. Refusing the shot gave them the excuse to boot his noncompliant ass.

    The passenger was slurring their words and struggling to stay awake as authorities repeatedly tried to get her to leave the flight, according to police bodycam video.

    The woman claimed she’d had just two shots of booze before admitting she actually downed six glasses of wine while waiting for the delayed flight — as a flight attendant told cops the passenger had also consumed Prosecco and two shots of tequila on board.

    So we’ve identified the individual as a woman, but let’s still use “their” for an individual. Also surprise, Bostonian!

    https://nypost.com/2025/06/14/us-news/drunken-delta-karen-resists-arrest-forces-other-passengers-to-deboard-plane/

  24. The Late P Brooks

    An overwhelming majority of experts disagreed with the trio’s argument, saying that herd immunity could only be achieved with a vaccine, and that revoking immunization mandates and lockdown restrictions would only lead to more deaths.

    They’re experts. You have to do what they tell you.
