Leftists do little else besides covet, steal, and commit adultery.
Loving your neighbor as yourself means that you also love yourself enough to respect your own needs and property. It doesn’t mean you have to give up what you have to anyone else for the asking. It means you should treat others how you would want to be treated. I don’t want people to be forced to give me their money to support my lazy behavior, so I wouldn’t support a policy that gives them MY money to support their lazy behavior!

The only passage relevant to the discussion is this one:
“Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:27‬ ‭ASV‬‬

Which seems to mean two things: take care of the widows and the orphans, (which our society and many many charities do) and don’t go around believing and acting on all the crap people dream up as some sort of “new morality.”

If you support the separation of children from their families

You mean like when their parents commit criminal acts and go to jail? Or if CPS is called on a family and the kids get taken away until the parents can prove that they aren’t deranged axe murderers? That kind of separation? Happens all the time to Americans. Not even a partisan thing.

Here’s a real example: my sister is divorced from her first husband, and a few years back he made a serious play for full custody. This involved making a call in the evening to CPS to claim that the kids were in danger with my sister and her new husband. Police came to their door and forcibly took the boys, gave them no options, and held the kids in custody for a week before giving them to their dad full time. All based on nothing but a lie. It took almost a year and many thousands in lawyer fees for my sister to navigate the process of getting them back. So there you have it. Child separation happening and society praising it.
Awesome.

I think that Romans 13:8-10 is proof that those whom support tRump's border policies will be going to HELL.

Have you applied this verse to your neighbors? God doesn't care much about your political outlook if you neglect the people you meet everyday.

If you support the separation of children from their families and allow humans to live in inhumane conditions

Your Bonkers Donkey party supports this by encouraging Central and South Americans to sneak into our country by promising them free shit like my dopey Governor in California giving free healthcare to illegals.

Seriously - WTF do you think you are doing with incentives like this?

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you have good intentions and don't want to see children abused by their parents and coyotes - but your party's policies are causing real harm. Not only to the children who are being used by smugglers, but you are doing lasting harm to countries like Guatemala and Honduras where people are just giving up and fleeing instead of trying to fix their homes.

If you support the separation of children from their families and allow humans to live in inhumane conditions while spending $750 per night to house them God will know you are breaking his laws.

The reason children are separated from their parents is because ANTI CHILD TRAFFICKING GROUPS asked for it. This policy dates from before Trump for sure, it might go all the way back to Clinton, I don't recall.

Migrants, with no ID of their own, were claiming "kids" that weren't theirs. No just to get fast-track treatment, but also for purposes of stopping Child/Teen Prostitution.

Sometimes it's not Dady Juan or Tio Tito, but Pimp Pepe pretending he's Tio Pepe, who promised the 14-year old girl a modelling career before taking her to an in-call only place in Los Angeles for other Central American Migrants. Note there are plenty more males than females and this has been the case for decades.

30% of children arriving with migrants subject to a DNA test have NO BLOOD RELATIONSHIP.

Where does the Bible mention the border? OP dodged his own point.

Sad.

Ok, build the wall so we don't have to house them, and they aren't incentivized to come live off our public funds.

If you support open borders God will know you are breaking the law.

Irrelevant wrt enforcement of our laws: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

What does Quran say on the subject? Torah? Avesta?

"And so Mohammed brought all the Jews, Indians, Greek, and Pagans of all kinds into Mecca and Medina and said O Muslims! Give up everything you own to the Kaffirs, in the name of Peace and Love. For Allah is Merciful! Compassionate!" - uh, not in the Quran.

It was in 2012. Where were you?

No, the year is 2024, when our great president is term-limited out of office.

I'd be in favor of indexing capital gains to inflation and then counting long and short-term capital gains as regular income. That would simplify things at least a little bit.

Also, no need to have the $250k/$500k deduction when selling your house. Just index for inflation and many people will find out their house didn't gain in value at all.

Then I better party like it's 1999!

I'll bet he makes the government install a taller wall around his mansion. Sort of like Obama did with his mansion in DC.

We should urge congress to write a law explicitly forbidding Al Gore to fly on his private jet.

On a serious note, I think the methane releases could be a major issue. I could certainly see that becoming a runaway feedback loop.

Fortunately, I'm a good swimmer!

Guess the free shit constituency decided to take the message to heart and help themselves to some of that good ole klepto-graft money at the source.

Is this a sad case of 'no honor amongst thieves'?

If I were burglarized, the police would only give me a police report number and tell you to take it up with your insurance company and tell you that it's between you and your insurance company. No investigation or anything. I'm guessing that for Elijah it will work differently..

So what you’re saying is: in Baltimore the only defense against burglary is an armed and hostile homeowner who isn’t afraid to dissolve a few homies in acid?

Hmm, that's funny. In Phoenix we had one of the coolest starts to summer in recent memory. Hardly any days over 100 until July. And our temps have been very average for the desert. Does global warming not apply to deserts, or is there a localized weather pattern that follows me wherever I go, bringing cooler weather and making me long for the South Pacific?

No in Phoenix, the DESERT. Houses haven't melted, pools didn't dry up, we had one of the wettest, coldest springs in recent memory. Global Warming, why do you hate me!?

Poetic Justice.

Ghetto insurance is widely available with just a $250,000 deductible on a $ 50,000 home and a $10,000 lifetime cap

Hey! Watch out for that falling number! Dr. Paul Braig Robers with all due respect sounds like the same type of lying scumbag that said.
If Obama doesn't give Wallstreet and the Banks billions and Trillions of dollars, then we'll a depression. Then framed it after it happened, as gushing how Obama saved us from a great depression.

Funny how all of the Liberals thought Obama was this financial savvy guy, that saved us from the brink of financial ruination.
But never expected him to produce a thriving booming economy for the 7 years after, with that same financial brilliance.
Instead they blamed Bush every time you asked for a pay rise.
"Obama inherited Bush's Economy!" The Idiots said!

How come Trump inherited a disaster financial situations from two disaster Presidents and still turned shit around in less than 1 month?

We're going a new way with this thing, those pickle heads that advised Obama and Bush aren't invited. They said Trump would bankrupt us by now.

I love how it's on some random no name dudes personal blog website, instant credibility.

I mean it's on internet, so must be true.

The UN is the real cause of global warming: global temperature has been rising steadily since the UN's founding; the UN beaureaucrats' flying around the globe and motorcade burning hydrocarbon fuel, and saving people that Darwinism/evolution would have killed off before there had been the UN, are the primary reasons for global warming.

Yes. Or basically just tough shit and deal with it.

You finally found one. However, I agree, this is unacceptable and he should be locked up same as the antifa thugs.

I say we abolish SALT deductions completely.

Agree

we should start including imputed rents as part of taxable income

??? Does that means taxing a person living in a paid off house as though his lack of a mortgage payment is "income?" Insane.

"billions of tons of meltwater streamed into the oceans during July, permanently raising sea levels."

It's kind of surprising that all that melt doesn't cool us off.

Oh well just imagine those Parisian women in their skimpy clothes.

Billions of tons of snow can fall on Greenland in one day. So what?

The alarmists come out of the basements on really hot days. They run the heater in the winter.

I got a tax cut, and i'm definitely not in the 1%.

I think tax cuts created a lot of jobs and economy, it's better when we the people keep our money and spend it efficiently, than let government take it and spend it inefficiently on cronies and sweethearts.

"In cities and towns around the world, record high temperatures outpaced record low temperatures on nearly a 3-to-1 basis during July, underscoring the fact that this crisis is being felt almost everywhere, by almost everyone."

And not a single statewide record was broken.

If planet was warming supposedly, how come it just doesn't stay warm? Seems like it cools down every damn day. So temperature clearly isn't rising.

Swings are unknown as to what and why and how, it's not accurate, so no reasons to worry about made up anti science science that Democrats invented.
