Post Moderate looniness here

I'm asking here, because there could be looniness on either side depending on the facts, but can anyone say what actually happened in Tennessee? The media basically says they were expelled for no reason other than protesting for gun control. Surely there was more to it, right? Politicians from both sides protest and rally all the time. Does anyone know what made this different?

Three very progressive representatives broke chamber rules by using a bullhorn to lead people in the gallery as the house tried to carry on business. These reps were trying to get arrested, but the Speaker refused to give them a platform.

Nothing reported by the national media has been accurate. They even keep reporting there were 7 victims. Yes, they count the murderer as a victim.
 
Is it loving for Christians to use transgender pronouns? | Not the Bee

The spirit of the age inverts the Scriptural teaching that God is love. Scripture affirms that God is the definition of love; therefore, whatever matches the characteristics of God is loving, and whatever contrasts with His character is not.

But in defiance of the truth, the world offers its deceitful twist, and preaches that "love is God." In other words, humans decide how to define love and then they worship it. If the God of the Bible questions or contradicts man's definition of love, He is rejected as unworthy of worship. It's just more manmade idolatry.

@Garmel , finally the search might be over. She's an outspoken lover of Jesus, but I think the Jesus she loves has a surname and wears a sombrero.

Article doesn’t really say what she does online - posing nude and stuff or doing the big nasty with nasty freaks?
 
Interesting article..... Should really read the whole thing.......

An angry and intolerant younger generation is destroying American democracy (msn.com)

According to a 45,000-participant College Plus survey on respect, tolerance and open-mindedness on American campuses – the largest ever conducted – an appalling 62 per cent of students said it’s “at least sometimes acceptable” to shout down a speaker, and one in five students said that using violence to stop a campus speech is “sometimes acceptable.”

Yes, and God. From Genesis chapter 2 (NIV).

21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
 
Is this looniness or a great bill?
"LAS, TX, May 9, 2023 — The Texas House passed HB 3297, which would eliminate vehicle inspections! This is an out-of-date program that is just one more property tax Texans are forced to pay. Enough is enough.

We must support HB 3297 in the Texas Senate so Texans can finally experience a little liberty with our vehicles.

Huffines Liberty Foundation President, former State Senator Don Huffines, issued the following statement:

"I am quite familiar with the car business and trust me when I tell you: vehicle inspections are a scam. You are being ripped off. Texas is the only Republican state to still have this policy."
 
Well if Anyone would know if it is a scam it would be a Huffines. His Grandfather started dealerships here.His brother has 8 dealerships and multiple locations around the Metroplex

In general, I like the idea of a check on automobiles for safety. Is it that the current testing doesn't do that or that it shouldn't cost what it does (something like $80)?

SC dropped it years ago.
 
I agree it's mostly a scam. But, as I'm sure HIC can tell you also if you don't have any inspections people at the lower end of the income scale will driving around in cars that are not only dangerous themselves but others. I nearly got killed by someone who had a non-functioning left blinker.

Maybe the solution is every 2 or 3 years. There's not enough cops to enforce dangerous speeders much less a bad blinker.
 
I've known some who bypass inspections by checking the box at registration that the vehicle is out of State. They send the sticker and advise the Registrant to have an inspection upon return.

I have also known of some registering in Counties that don't require emissions testing...

The Miata has a cat delete that goes unnoticed because it sits so low and bolted in with flanges like a cat...
 
My dad used to get tires from a friend to put on his old station wagon in order to pass tread depth back when they checked tread wear. Sneaky my Dad was.

She's 22. Is she willing to pay for the reduction or is it she wants the gov to do the reduction for free?

She wants it for free. That's the arrangement with the National Health Service. You pay them in taxes, and they cover your medical needs.

She could go private and pay for it out of pocket, but presumably, she (like most Brits) doesn't have the cash. Personally, I have private health insurance, so I usually go private (mainly to avoid ridiculous waiting lists and bullcrap), but most aren't in my position.

$80 is closer to annual registration on newer vehicles.

Inspection is less than ten bucks...
