Drivers' licenses can be taken away from irresponsible drivers.
Leviticus 19:33-34 If you have resident aliens in your country, you will not molest them. You will treat resident aliens as though they were native-born and love them as yourself -- for you yourselves were once aliens in Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.

The Dems need a new leader. Wussy common ground politeness is not the way to take down a white supremacist dictator. While Jeffries is hand wringing and asking MAGA to play nice, people are dying. I for one am tired of it. We need real leaders in charge not politicians.

He needs to stop conning people into thinking executive orders are laws. They apply ONLY to agencies under the control of the Executive Branch. His scrawl only keeps the Treasury Dept and such from flag burning. Unlikely to happen but this admin constantly surprises me.

I'm in the camp that believes these school shooters should not be publically named or their photos released. It turns them into heroes for other sadistic nutters. They should be completely ignored and forgotten. Bury them at the crossroads. The only important people are the victims and survivors.

I did a quick- not a deep inquiry- of divorce rates in the US. Evidently Protestants have a 51% divorce rate. The next highest are Catholics at 19%. This tallies with my personal experience living in the Bible belt. I've met evangelicals who brag about having 5 or 6 marriages. Family values!
