The word terrorism is being stretched too thin. As one character said in a movie, like butter spread over too much toast. I think it's about time to include violence done by Islamists into our understanding of Islamism. It is no longer generic enough to fall just into the more broad concept of terrorism. On our end, it clarifies what we are fighting against.

TV time.

On second thought, she really missed a question. The lawyer explained that the basic defense was that the babies were not born alive because they were given a drug that would cause "in utero fetal demise." If so, then why stick scissors in their necks and cut their spinal chords when they were ex utero if they were already dead?

For anyone in foreign services it should not be that hard. Simply find them untrustworthy based on performance then pull their security clearances. Take away a prerequisite to the position and eliminate the employee. It's how DoD does it because actually firing an employee is impossible. Making an employee ineligible for the position is rather easy for any position requiring a security clearance.

I would get worked up about it because it's annoying, but Ricochet is worth a little annoyance. I pick the tomatoes off my burgers, so closing a pop-up or two doesn't seem that onerous to me. I'll put up with a lot to be able to read what BrentB67 has to write.

Your stop over at freak day was just prepping you for Seattle.

For me it's all about the music. I'll try to dig up some clever videos though. I think Lindsey Stirling is accomplishing that with her stuff right now.

I've seen several of their videos shot in that room. I just assume it's what's available in their building.

A bit of grand standing for his own bill, but mostly on point.

There's this story.

Look up his interviews with Claire Berlinski...

The uniforms are pretty modest...

This can be a problem in Pentecostal churches as well. Those who aren't "moved by the Spirit" are left as outsiders. The temptation to "fake it till you make it" can be very strong, especially for those who are young temporally or spiritually. As for me, I'll stick with Paul's list of fruits from Galatians 5 if I want to test my faith.
