I would ask if the Vatican would step in, but aren't they pro-gay and trans now too? I remember something about them deciding to allow gay Priests and such.

Not at all. If you were in a place where known mobsters were and there was a raid I would expect you would be picked up too and detained until it was determi ed you were not part of the mob.

If I were detained for a reasonable amount of time I'd feel fine. Weeks is not reasonable. By law a person can be detained up to a couple of days without charges. I do expect ICE to prioritize those who claim citizenship and make them the FIRST people to be cleared. If they Don't do that then I think they are wrong.


I meant more broadly speaking. People in sanctuary cities have absolutely invited illegals to come. And Democrats through Biden allowed them to come in essence inviting them. Cause thats how it works.

Nah I don’t believe that someone can be detained for days without being charged and arranged. If I remember correctly, and this may be incorrect, last I heard it was like 13 hours but that was a long time ago and is probably different depending on where you’re at.

In the end, it is less expensive to hire robots for lots and lots of jobs, and to use computers to do lots of others.

There is very low unemployment now, especially since so many youth choose staying home over jobs they don't like.

In future, we will need to come to terms with high unemployment and need to find solutions.

If/when this goes to court, I'm assuming that the legal angle that ICE is going to use is that by DR Hortons having a business license, that's an implied consent provision for administrative inspections for compliance and enforcement. (since consent of the business owner is also a mechanism that grants them access to enter a "private" worksite)

There's also the "pain view/public view doctrine"...where if a law enforcement officer is able to see a criminal activity taking place inside a private property from a public vantage point, they're allowed to enter. -- For example, if a cop is walking a beat, and sees crime being committed from the side walk, they don't need a warrant to enter the store and make arrests.


But I'm guessing the legal approach they're going to use is the former. As that's the same type of provision that allows for things like, say, a health inspector from the FDA to come into a restaurant or food plant for a surprise inspection, and shut it down and issue citations on the spot without a judicial warrant.

Yeah or for OSHA to come into job sites to make sure they are complying with regulations.

Asking just for my information: What is the Catholic policy in cases like this, where a married gay person joins the church? Are they required to get a civil divorce? Do they continue to be (civilly) married but now live celibately together? Some third option?

(I understand that the Catholic church will not recognize the marriage as valid, but I'm not sure what their policy is toward the existing civil union.)

The author of Wicked, Gregory Maguire, is also legally married to a man, has adopted children, and a practicing Catholic who faithfully attends Mass. Just an interesting fact.

Hmmm.......in the Catholic Faith that *I* know, one cannot be permitted to receive the Sacraments unless they turn away from open sin.

Something is amiss here.

I know nothing about these things but I would have thought the clue was in the name - satellite TV, cable TV.
They are not the same.

A conservative magazine at Harvard University was suspended by its board of directors Sunday amid scrutiny over an article published in September that closely resembled the rhetoric of Adolf Hitler.

In its September print issue, the Harvard Salient published an article by student David F.X. Army that read “Germany belongs to the Germans, France to the French, Britain to the British, America to the Americans,” echoing the words Hitler used in a January 1939 speech to the Reichstag in which he forecasted that another world war would lead to the annihilation of Jews.

The Harvard Salient piece also argued that “Islam et al. has absolutely no place in Western Europe,” and called for a return to values “rooted in blood, soil, language, and love of one’s own.” (The phrase “blood and soil” also echoes a Nazi idea that the inherent features of a people are its land and race.)

The school’s mainstream student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, published three opinionpieces criticizing the rhetoric used in the Salient piece, to which [Salient's editor in chief] Rodgers published his own article last week lamenting that “ordinary conservative thought is one headline away from criminality.”

Click to expand...

In a statement to the school’s newspaper, the Salient’s editor-in-chief, Richard Y. Rodgers, claimed that Army “did not intentionally quote Adolf Hitler, nor did any member of our editorial staff recognize the resemblance prior to publication.”

Rodgers continued, “The article was a meditation on how nations and cultures preserve coherence in an age of rootless cosmopolitanism and global homogenization. To confuse a defense of belonging for a manifesto on exclusion is a fault of the reader, not the writer.”
The print edition of the article was placed in undergraduate dormitories last month. Harvard installed Salient distribution boxes in dorms in February after the publication, which is independent from the university, complained that students could not easily access its work.
The uproar comes as politicians and other public figures on the right have faced allegations that their rhetoric echoes that of the Nazis. It also comes as Harvard and other universities face pressure from the Trump administration to show that they are not clamping down on conservative voices.

If the words were from a quote by Hitler, what do you do with this?
“Germany belongs to the Germans, France to the French, Britain to the British, America to the Americans,”

Was Hitler being deceptive? He certainly did not believe that.

If the writer of the article believed those words, when is he leaving?
When are you all packing up.
I'm 34 percent indiginous american. Can I stay?

The accusation is stupid and duplicitous. Words twisted to stir the anger and anxiety in underdeveloped adolecent hearts.

Gentiles came to a point, after being invited to rejoin their lost House headed by Jewish Christians (the original Christians), and applied church appropriation, a makeover, then rejection of the founders, much in the way colonization did to indigenous peoples. It's the human way, not God's. Of course, the Jews also rejected the original Jewish Christians so they got it from all sides. Even today all seek to serve self rather than God's plan.

They can join but if they refuse to live chastely they cannot receive communion. I’m not sure about the legal union.

ETA: just quickly researched it… they are not required to dissolve the legal union. Just to live chastely. The reason being is the Church does not recognize same sex marriage.
