“For too long, the government has diverted hardworking Americans’ tax dollars to incentivize illegal immigration,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said
That said, you should ENJOY the freedom of others to believe whatever they wish, because THAT is what justifies your own.
Hint: I will not be telling Grok to act as Torba suggests.
For one thing, I use Grok to challenge my debating skills without cheating, so I can practice my counter-arguments when I disagree with the consensus view (which is what Grok will present to you, by default, because of the way the technology works.)
And I'm neutral overall on the whole Israel-Palestinian slow-war: Neither side has "clean hands."
Given the recent SCOTUS ruling on nation-wide injunctions, and the fact that only Congress has the power of the purse, this judge is going to "find out," now that he's "fecked around."
Worse, a Federal District Court in Boston has no jurisdiction over any claim that the Federal government owes anyone any money. The only Federal Court that has jurisdiction (as the court of first instance) would be the Court of Federal Claims, which is in Washington, D.C.
Firstly, I'll note that Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 grants Congress the sole power to “declare War,” but the Constitution does not define “war” or specify if all hostile, aggressive or violent military actions qualify as acts requiring pre-approval by Congress.
Historical precedent shows that Presidents have authorized military strikes without congressional declaration, such as Jefferson’s 1801 Barbary War actions and Reagan’s 1986 Libya strike—among many others.
FTA: Assassination suspect Vance Boelter wrote a letter in which he blamed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for the murderous rampage Boelter committed, according to sources.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation have confirmed to Alpha News that Boelter’s so-called confession letter was intended for Kash Patel, the director of the FBI.
The handwritten letter was discovered by law enforcement inside the Buick that Boelter purchased just hours after he shot Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and then shot and killed Minnesota legislator and Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark.
I blame the left in general. Same as in the summer of 2020. [Yes, I know that not all of them support what's happening—and are probably afraid to say so publicly]
However, it's best to not let skepticism become a self-fulfilling prophecy, such as by using to justify doing nothing and/or failing to be supportive. Other the other, being mindless cheerleaders is also the wrong path.
I've got news for you: In a war, both sides attack each other. You're essentially arguing that the United States were the bad guys in World War II, because they were attacking Germany "ALL THE TIME."
Note: I am NOT claiming that the US is righteous, whether at all, or even just sometimes. The point is that your arguments for attempting to claim that the US--and only the US--are ever the bad guys (or are the only bad guys in this specific case) don't support any such thesis.
If you reframe your thesis as "the US is not necessarily telling the truth, or the whole truth, in this matter," THEN we can talk.
@mk Yes, the US is no different than any other major power throughout history in that regard. Monopoly providers of justice and security tend to be like that for a reason. That's a universal principle that is far from unique to the US--it applies just as much to Iran, the CCP, Russia, etc.
