Going to try and do a daily deep thought through movie reference.

Today, day one, fight club.

I remember this line from the first time I saw the movie.

A question everyone should ask daily at every point of their lives.

Canada home invasion update

This is BEYOND outrageous!

The suspect who has been identified in the home invasion and shooting in Toronto Canada was apparently SHOT in the altercation by one of the other suspects.

He showed up at the hospital WITH A GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE SHOULDER.

And even worse: THE POLICE SHOWED UP AND ENCOUNTERED HIM AT THE HOSPITAL.

He was somehow DISCHARGED and is now on the run.

Listen to this answer from the queen of DEI herself, Kristy Smith.

If this doesn’t get your blood boiling, nothing will.

How are Toronto police not guilty of aiding and abetting a fugitive?

Kristy Smith also needs to be FIRED.

This is an absolute outrage.

Weekly recap

I mentioned it on one of the streams this week, but we lost one of our chicks. Lucky. The first one that we helped out of the shell.

Totally cute. Pure golden fluff. we don’t really know what happened. we noticed he was acting a little lazy/falling asleep. Then he just fell asleep. Everyone kind of blames themselves… was the temperature right? Did we take him out of the incubator too early?

my operating theory is that if the chick was developmentally compromise, it might not have been metabolizing food properly… Converting air to oxygen properly…

Ethan was understandably upset. It’s the weird thing: had it died in the egg, like the last one, we would’ve been less upset. But there is a connection that comes through life. Especially life that we assisted - if only temporarily.

The other chicks are doing great. The two that are now almost 2 months old are awesome. Very social with us. Winston does not like them. or, I should say, would like to eat them. 😂

Midterms coming. Contemplating my purpose in ...

Orson Welles - War Of The Worlds - Radio Broadcast 1938 - Complete Broadcast.

The War of the Worlds was an episode of the American radio drama anthology series Mercury Theatre on the Air. It was performed as a Halloween episode of the series on October 30, 1938 and aired over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network. Directed and narrated by Orson Welles, the episode was an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds.

The first two thirds of the 60-minute broadcast were presented as a series of simulated "news bulletins", which suggested to many listeners that an actual alien invasion by Martians was currently in progress. Compounding the issue was the fact that the Mercury Theatre on the Air was a 'sustaining show' (it ran without commercial breaks), thus adding to the program's quality of realism. Although there were sensationalist accounts in the press about a supposed panic in response to the broadcast, the precise extent of listener response has been ...

IV. CLOSING ARGUMENT: Classes in the Constitution — Presidential & Vice Presidential Replacements
 
  • Section 4 of Article II the Constitution provides the President “shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The House gets to be the sole judge of what constitutes a "high crime and misdemeanor" for impeachment while the Senate gets to be the sole judge of what facts constitute "a high crime and misdemeanor." 
  • Clause 5 of Section 2 of Article I vests the power of Impeachment solely to the House of Representatives. Given no specific requirement as to support to impeach, the majority vote default rule presides historically.
  • Clause 6 of Section 3 of Article I vests the power to try impeachments solely in the Senate, requiring "Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present." This means Senators who absent themselves from the Chamber may be excluded potentially from the baseline required to reach two-thirds. 
  • Clause 6 of Section 1 of Article II provides that the Vice President obtains the powers of the President — “all executive powers of the federal government — “in case of” either “removal, death, resignation or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said Office.”
  • In the instance both are removed, resigned, die, or are unable to discharge the duties, then Congress may legislate what Officer shall then act as President. The Presidential Succession Act of 1947 provides that the Speaker of the House becomes the officer who becomes President in case of Presidential and Vice Presidential absence, followed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and then the cabinet in priority of when that cabinet office was first established. In that last instance, the Secretary of State is first, the Secretary of Treasury second, and the Secretary of Defense third.
  • The Twenthy Fifth Amednment slightly amends that process, still proving the succession protocols. In the case of removal, or death or resignation, “the Vice President shall become President.” Replacement of the Vice President requires Presidential nomination and “confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”

IV. CLOSING ARGUMENT: Classes in the Constitution, Reminders from our Founding Fathers on Foreign Entanglements
 
Two founding documents of the founding generation’s approach to foreign entanglments consist of President Washington’s Farewell Address and John Quincy Adams July 4th speech to the House of Representatives in 1821. 
 
Cousin Adams address “on foreign policy” summarized America’s approach to foreign conflicts, by starting with America’s founding rejection of the politics of imperial empire, denouncing Britian’s “portentious system of despotism” with “oppressions of power” governed bby an appetite for “conquest” against the “claims of right” of self-governance. In such an imperial worldview “man had no rights”, where “neither the body nore the soul of the individual was his own” subjecting the people to the “impentarable gloom of this intellectual darkness, and the deep degradation of this servitude” which defined the “British nation” under its imperial mask. These imperial ambitions inflected “the delusions of all Europe” degrading the societies occupied by an intellectually and morally robust people. It was in rejection of these very ideas of empire and presumptions of imperial rule that guided the American revolution. 
 
This animating spirit requires America “respect the indpendence of other nations”, must “abstain from interference in the concerns of others, even when the conflict has been for principes to which America clings.” America “well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrictation, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which the assume the colors and usrup the standard of freedom” changing her “from liberty to force” creating the hated British “Imperial Diadem, flashing in falkse and tarnished lustre the murky radiance of dominion and power” to become the “distatress of the world” and no longer “the ruler of her own Revolutartionary spirit.” 
 
America is “the champion and vindicator only of her own”, a perfect articulation of America First.  That is why America “does not go aborad searching for monsters to destroy.” America’s “glory is not dominion, but liberty.” 
 
Washington warned in his founding Farewell Address: “the nation which indulges towards another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to it animosity or to its affection.” Washington discouraged any political connections beyond economic trade with nations of the world due to the likely subsuming of a foreign nation’s cause as our own, their antipathies or adversaries as our own, substituting a foreign nation for our own in decision making. Thus the “true policy” of our founders was “to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” 
 
These principles — avoiding the trap of imperial logic, respecting each nation’s own sovereign path, and escaping the entanglements of foreign conflicts — animated the founders. Only when we abandon these precepts and principles do we lose our way. The first promoters of America First were our founders themselves.
