On the First Amendment

By -
A California city has fined a couple for holding a "religious service" (in reality, a Bible study) in their house.


For the record, let me quote the First Amendment to the US Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Pretty sure this falls under making "no law ... prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Though I am sure some slimeball attorney will argue that the word "free" had no monetary meaning in the Constitution.

Suggestions for Women 1

Found on social media.  And, for the record, in case Blogger inexplicably removes this photo, as they have done so many times in the past, here is the transcript of the meme: "Two things that black women need to lose in order to attract quality marriage-minded men: - Lose the weight.  &  - Lose the attitude Black women are disproportionately obese and are known for being attitudinal & difficult. The good news is that these are fixable problems." Of note: these things are certainly true of other women of all races, particularly Western women. However, the meme correctly points out that black women have these problems disproportionately. For example, of white women, the only ones that exhibit these choices on a mass scale are Liberal women. Conservative women tend to avoid these choices more often.  What say you? Yes, I know you can think of an exception. Once more, I'll remind you of two facts: 1. The exception proves the rule.  2. If you hear a generaliz...

 Found online: "OK, we've tried women's suffrage and discovered their primary political concern is killing their own babies. Can we finally call this experiment failed and move on?" - Matthew Cochra Here is a graphic, showing that the top priority for young men is being able to get a job to support a family. The most important issue for young women is to be able to kill their baby.  These women kill millions of their babies every year out of convenience. It is, to them, and alternate form of birth control. They hide behind the lie that abortion must be protected for women who were raped, yet this almost never happens in reality - about once every two years in Tennessee per the numbers.

Seen on X, from Richard Cooper - here, pasted text in case Blogger inexplicably deletes the image as they have done so many times in the past: "In the not so distant past, she was wifey material if she was: A virgin Tattoo free  Had good family  Feminine  Under 25  Religious  Had homemaking skills  Agreeable  Could cook & clean  Wanted his children  Most brides today are none of those things." Here we will give an example of what most modern women are like in italics below Cooper's list of marriageable qualities.  Marriageable qualities vs. Reality: A virgin Been with 100+ men (whatever number they tell you, multiply it by 9, at the least.)  Tattoo free  Many tattoos.  Had good family  Comes from single mother only home where the mother did not allow the father into the children's lives.  Feminine  Feminist Under 25  Over 30, with declining fertility.  Religious  "Spiritual" (meaning wil...
