re: 85% of Americans support VOTER ID so why won't the extremely popular SAVE ACT pass?
Posted by cssamerican on 1/17/26 at 7:19 am to Deplorableinohio
The filibuster rule doesn’t make sense because we already have safeguards in place, the House, the presidency, and the Supreme Court. If voters choose to let one party control both branches of government, both parts of Congress, and the laws they pass are deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court, then they should be allowed to govern. Otherwise, we’ll never be able to make real changes.

Children with down syndrome become adults with Down syndrome though… the joy eventually goes
I have a 48-year-old brother with Down syndrome, and his life has been a blessing for our family. I am convinced that his presence is what helped my dad survive the loss of my mom.
My dad is in his eighties now. My brother handles the yard work and the physical tasks around the house, while my dad does the cooking.
My brother’s Down syndrome is fairly severe. His speech can be hard to understand, and there are certain things he simply cannot do safely, like cooking on the stove. But he is an undeniable joy to be around. He makes me laugh, he laughs easily himself, and in many ways he is still the same kid he was when we were young. In other ways, he feels like an old man, probably from living with my dad and picking up his habits.
No parent wants a child with a disability, as their dreams and aspirations are so deeply intertwined with their children’s futures. Yet having been around people with special needs my entire life, even those whose lives were tragically short, I have witnessed time and again the profound, positive impact they have on everyone around them, even amidst inevitable hardships.
I cannot fathom convincing anyone to murder their own child, it’s likely the most unchristian act imaginable. As a man, I was raised to defend those who cannot defend themselves and to care for the weak. Matthew 25:40: And the King will answer them, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”

Don’t act like 1 million apiece wouldn’t buy enough votes. I’m confident I could swing every election in the United States by offering the citizens 1 million apiece or whatever outcome I want..
Greenland
Posted by cssamerican on 1/15/26 at 5:58 am
Couldn’t we just offer a million dollars to every citizen of Greenland if they vote to leave Denmark and join the United States?
That would just cost us 57 Billion. That seems like a deal, and at that point what would Denmark do, we are just giving the people what they want. :Dunno:

re: You don't need breakfast, America
Posted by cssamerican on 1/11/26 at 11:46 am to ClientNumber9
I haven’t eaten cereal in over a decade. I usually skip breakfast, but if I do eat it it’s just a couple eggs. Lunch is usually light and meant to be convenient, usually can fish, sardines, mackerel, salmon, or tuna. The big meal is dinner, and that’s usually to be social. Everyone thinks I’m thin, but in reality I’m about 10lbs overweight, as a society we eat too much and very few aren’t overweight.
re: For Anybody Here Who Thinks the ICE Agent Acted Wrongly, Tell Me What He Should've Done
Posted by cssamerican on 1/9/26 at 9:31 pm to djsdawg
The situation appears to be a series of events that unfortunately aligned in the worst possible way. For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, the officer was moving around the vehicle and ended up in front of it just as other officers approached and grabbed the car door. Another person was yelling at her to drive, and the officer in front of the car likely reacted the way he did because he had previously been struck by a vehicle.
Sometimes multiple unlikely factors happen all at once, creating an unusual and chaotic situation like this. It’s likely she did not intentionally try to run over an officer, while the officer believed she was in that moment. Everything unfolded very quickly. I think the officer made a poor, but understandable, decision, but it does appear to have been a legally justified decision.
Let this be a reminder that sometimes bad things happen, and putting yourself in chaotic situations only increases the risk of a bad outcome. So, don’t go participate in intentional altercations with police, all it does is increase your chances of being a statistic.

Posted by cssamerican on 1/9/26 at 6:13 am to Penrod
The officers’ approach and actions during the shooting don’t look good, and I have serious doubts that this was a clean shot. I’d like to see the bodycam footage and have all the facts before drawing conclusions. Right now, the lack of empathy afterward is concerning, and anyone rushing to defend it as completely justified should pause and let the process play out. To me this isn’t so clean cut regardless of what side you come down on with the information we currently have..

Well he will likely loose the House and will have to deal with being impeached next year, so he needs to get as much as possible done NOW, and I think he realizes this.

The media keeps asking them to rule out military because they know the administration, nor would any administration, will not do that.
It’s a cheap play that we’ve seen a thousand times before.
Framing the situation as a potential 'total loss' creates a sense of urgency. It triggers a bird-in-the-hand mentality, where the certainty of an immediate payout outweighs the uncertain future of holding onto the territory.This is a classic sales/negotiation tactic .

Belief or being convinced that something is true and trusting in that thing that you believe to be true.
Okay, I asked because I don’t think faith is simply believing that something is true. In the Bible, faith is steadfast loyalty and trust in God, even when doubts arise. Scripture shows that questions and struggles don’t disqualify faith as long as our hearts remain committed to Him. Faith is rooted in trusting God Himself, not in being certain about every detail. At least that is how I perceive it, I also think that resolves the whole faith vs works thing. If you are a loyal servant then works will be there as evidence.

The Bible says repeatedly that Christ died once for all and is now seated at the right hand of God (Col. 3:1). He is not subject to being called down and sacrificed again and again by Roman Catholic priests (imagine the audacity). Put your faith in Christ alone, not his imagined presence in a piece of bread.
The Eucharist is the sacred practice Jesus gave us, commanding, “Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19; 1 Cor. 11:24–25). From the earliest days, as reflected in the Didache, believers gathered doing this. In this act, we participate in His life, death, and resurrection, joining with the faithful across time in covenantal communion.
Each celebration is both a memorial and a proclamation: we remember Christ’s sacrifice and affirm that His presence is alive among His people. Through the Eucharist, we are united as one body, called to live in His light and extend His love into the world, carrying forward the covenant He fulfilled for us.
This isn’t just a Catholic thing.

Your synergy is even stronger than you think.
In Scripture, forty is the number of testing and transition, as seen in Israel’s forty years in the wilderness.
In AD 30, Jesus pronounces the verdict in the Olivet Discourse, declaring that this generation would not pass away until the stones of the Temple were thrown down.
From AD 30 to AD 70, that specific generation lives under warning rather than immediate judgment. During this period, Talmudic signs record the lot coming up on the left, the ribbon remaining red, and the lamp failing to stay lit. God is holding the door open for repentance while the signs Jesus described unfold. This is the season of watchfulness and discernment commanded in the Olivet Discourse.
Crucially, Jesus does not tell His followers to defend Jerusalem or remain in it. He commands them that when they see the city surrounded, they are to flee to the mountains and not look back. The early church took this warning literally. Eusebius, in his Ecclesiastical History, records that the Christians in Jerusalem fled to the mountain city of Pella before the siege began, and as a result, no Christians perished in the destruction of the city.
This was not merely an escape from judgment, but an act of divine preservation. By removing the church from Jerusalem before the Temple fell, God ensured the continuity of the faith and freed it from being buried in the ruins of the old system. The church survived, spread, and multiplied precisely because it trusted the words of Christ over the security of the stones.
In AD 70, the generation reached its fortieth year and the Roman siege was executed. The generation passed away exactly as the Temple stones were cast down, just as Jesus said.
The wise virgins represent those Jews who recognized the signs of the times, accepted the Way, and received the Messiah so that Christ lived within them by the Spirit. They understood that God’s presence was no longer bound to the building, and they kept their lamps burning because the oil was within them.
The foolish virgins were not outsiders and they were not uninformed. They were invited and expected entry, yet they failed to carry the oil needed to endure the delay. When the decisive moment came, they were shut out, not because they lacked invitation, but because they lacked the Spirit. For this reason, the bridegroom says he does not know them. The kingdom was entered by those in whom Christ dwelled.
In AD 30, Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, was rejected. Exactly forty years later, in AD 70, the Roman army breached Jerusalem during Passover. The Temple era did not fade gradually. It ended on the precise anniversary of its rejection, confirming that the warning, the delay, and the execution unfolded exactly as the Olivet Discourse foretold.
