That's one hell of a question BillJohnson.

A distinction without a difference

Anyone have any info on Gracie?

Yeah what she said. Where are you Gracie?? Come out wherever you are.

The simplest, truest, most obvious thing about Donald Trump is that he is insane.
He's not insane, he's only doing what 50% of the nation hired him to do.
You wont see anything other than a progressive/leftist point of view as being sane.

Only 22 percent of the total population voted for Trump. Not even a quarter of the population. Me thinks basic maths is hard for you.

Anyone is one medical bill away from homelessness. Don',t think it can't happen to you Boaz. Homeless people come from all walks of life. No socioeconomic class is immune from homelessness. Just FYI.

I don't see Jeff on here oddly enough.

I FINALLY picked a winner. I'm not a bears fan either but I wanted them to win over the other team. Just like the Hoosiers.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Indiana won.

Freakin' Mendoza is amazing!
Last game he threw the ball like a Pro, this week he's toughing it out (so far).
The Refs are helping Indie at all.

I can't watch the game so I will have to defer to you Corky. I'm not an Indiana fan. I'm just rooting for them to win because they are Midwest. Just FYI.

Churches have a long history as sanctuaries, evolving from ancient Greco-Roman temples to medieval havens for criminals and the persecuted, formalized under Roman law, and later becoming key sites for the U.S. Sanctuary Movement in the 1980s for Central American refugees, continuing a tradition of offering refuge from violence and unjust persecution, though the practice remains debated today.
Ancient & Medieval Roots
Greco-Roman Origins: Before Christianity, temples in Greek and Roman societies offered protection to fugitives.
Roman Empire: Emperor Theodosius I (late 4th century) incorporated this concept into Roman law, making churches legally protected spaces for asylum from secular justice and violence.
Medieval Practice: For centuries in Europe, churches sheltered people fleeing violence, feuds, and even the law; fugitives could claim sanctuary for a limited time, often requiring exile afterward.
Modern Revival (U.S.)
Underground Railroad: Churches served as crucial stops for escaped enslaved people in the U.S..
Vietnam War Era: Churches became sanctuaries for draft resisters, like those opposing the Vietnam War, creating a "sanctuary for the conscientious".
Central American Refugees: Starting in the 1980s, the Sanctuary Movement began in Tucson, Arizona, with churches sheltering refugees fleeing violence in El Salvador and Guatemala, challenging U.S. asylum denials.
Contemporary Context
Immigration: Today, churches continue to offer sanctuary to undocumented immigrants, a practice controversial due to potential conflicts with immigration laws, though the government historically avoided raids in "sensitive locations" like churches.
Focus on Innocence: Modern sanctuary differs from medieval times, focusing on protecting the innocent fleeing persecution, not harboring criminals.

What channel is the game on??

Truth,
"Bill will you condemn the Piggy administration for authorizing ice raids in churches?"
If they are using the church to hide, it's a different situation.

Churches are supposed to be sanctuary for the oppressed. My God how far you've gotten in Trump's cult.

The MAGATS on this site are completely silent on this topic because of Trump's lawlessness and corruption.

Hahahaha ---- you. I thought they would win. Lord was I ever wrong.

C mon Bears beat the Rams.

. The left despises the 1st and 2nd amendments. I'd hardly classify that as believing in the Bill of Rights. The left also despises the restrictions the Constitution laces 9n the federal government when Democrats are in power.
On topic, the thread author points out yet another way the MSM (NYT in particular) report on stories. They are hyper critical of any perceived malfeasance on the right and treat malfeasance on the left with absolute kid gloves.
The thread author highlights the differences in coverage between the 2020 riots and J6.
NYT did produce an article highlighting the fraudulent Somali daycare centers in MN. I've only seen that one article, maybe they provided additional coverage and I missed it but I don't think that is the case. Abu Graihb was certainly a very newsworthy story. NYT? 39 front page articles about it. It made the Bush administration look bad so it was screamed from the rooftops every day for a month. That was roughly 20 years ago. They've grown ever more biased since then and it tracks with the continued decline in trust of the MSM.

Go get bent.

You can dress Trump with gold and the best threads in the world and he will still look cheap. Just sayin

You act like that means anything. 18 people have more plonks than LGH and of those 18, only one (effeteposer) isn't right of center.

Have you heard from Rightocenter lately??

Half of the voters did, moron. People who didn't can be other STFU or they can muster up the gumption to start voting going forward. Do you need me to mail you a copy of Schoolhouse Rocks so you can learn basic civics? Maybe while you are waiting to blow the next trucker at Flying J.

Only 22 percent of the population voted for Trump. Most of America didn't vote for either candidate. Just FYI.

Laura,
Put the blame where it belongs.
The people who encouraged illegals to cross the border thinking they would get free benefits for life.
Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-01-15 11:13 PM | Reply

We all do including Trump, When this country demands lower prices for goods and services we all welcome them to cross the border. As a matter of fact. We advertise that we are open to them.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"[12]
