Every Society Has A Right To Fix

I've laid out a plan for how we keep people safe here at home, and i've laid out a plan of how we wage war and win by denying isis territory overseas. we must deny them their territory because the territory that they've conquered because hillary clinton and barack obama declared victory in iraq and against every generals advice withdrew all of our troops, leaving a vacuum, weaponry, territory for isis to conquer, that territory, their caliphate, is that from which they draw legitimacy, potency, credibility. we have to deny them that territory.

To be good christians you have to contemplate the suffering humanity of jesus. "how can we bear witness? contemplate jesus. how can we forgive? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we not hate our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we avoid gossiping about our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. there is no other way". these virtues are the those of the father, who forgives us always, and our lady, our mother, shares in these virtues too.

There's a property in panama where trump has collected somewhere around $30 million just from selling his name to this property - it's somewhere between $30 million and $50 million. it would be so easy for a developer to slap on an extra $6 million to a trump licensing deal and have that be a backdoor bribe. who are we to say what that is worth? it's so ephemeral. and this is the appeal of selling something as ephemeral as a brand name, is that it can be inflated beyond all reason.

The comic edge of ghostbusters will always be the same. it's still treating the supernatural with a totally mundane sensibility. in the world of ghostbusting, there are certain givens. you're always going to have some new invented technology, some pseudo-science that sounds right because we drop enough familiar terms from physics and engineering, and pseudo-methodology, something that people will think they may have read something about before.

That the people have an original right to establish, for their future government, such principles as, in their opinion, shall most conduce to their own happiness, is the basis, on which the whole american fabric has been erected.... the principles, therefore, so established, are deemed fundamental. and as the authority, from which they proceed, is supreme ... they are designed to be permanent.... the powers of the legislature are defined, and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken, or forgotten, the constitution is written.
