I get the argument Tillis advances about how he's somehow been somehow effective in achieving ... well, you can read his side of it at time.com which is actually a pretty interesting take. Mine, however, differs. Given that Tillis is not running again and this is his last year in the Senate, why not apply some serious accelerant to that wee tinder fire you keep barely alive in a corner? Light it up, get things going, make a good goddamn difference. Is that too much to ask?*

My personal thanks ClownShack for his excellent contributions to this thread.

Thank you.

HL Mencken wrote about the tribal ancestors of these folk in his razor sharp reporting from Dayton, TN, back in 1925 during the Scopes "Monkey" Trial (see, for example, www.famous-trials.com). A few potholes may have been filled during the interim, new paint sloshed on the courthouse, but Mencken, risen today from the ashes, would find himself in familiar territory.

"Two things happened as a result of these shootings. First, ICE has likely been given additional training and the anti-ICE protestors don't appear to be so forcefully aggressive interfering with ICE agents.

"That's my opinion."

Some hide their crosses': Jerusalem nun attack highlights Israel's growing anti-Christian problem
www.france24.com

GOP senator blasts Hegseth for 'careless decision' on troop posture
thehill.com

... Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) offered harsh criticism for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday over reported changes at the Pentagon, including a shift in U.S. military posture around the globe and the exits of multiple senior military officers in recent months.

"The careless decision to reduce our force posture in Europe, along with moves by Pete Hegseth and his political henchmen to force out some of our finest general officers is amateur hour at best and deadly at worst," Tillis wrote on the social platform X. ...

Advocates of church-state separation say the event blurs government and religion.

"It is a fusion not only of church and state, but also of our federal government with Christian nationalism," said Gaylor, whose organization advocates for the separation of church and state.

Some critics have pointed to the absence of religious groups such as mainline Protestant churches including Lutherans, Methodists and Episcopalians. Also not represented are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Orthodox Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism.

More than a quarter of all U.S. adults identify as religiously unaffiliated, according to figures from the Pew Research Center. About 23% and 19% identify as evangelical Protestant and Catholic, respectively, and about 11% identify as mainline Protestant. ...
