Facebook and Twitter refused to print Russian disinformation during 2020 campaign and now wonder if they went too far.
False. The article states:
Zuckerberg said he regretted the decision, as did Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter at the time. Despite claims that the laptop’s contents were forged, the Washington Post confirmed that at least some of the emails on the laptop were authentic. The New York Times authenticated emails from the laptop — many of which were cited in the original New York Post reporting from October 2020 — that prosecutors have examined as part of the Justice Department’s probe into whether the president’s son violated the law on a range of issues, including money laundering, tax-related offenses, and foreign lobbying registration.
Social media companies censored truth in favor of the Biden Campaign at the behest of the U.S. Government.
I'll once again quote the former president of the ACLU:
“If a foreign authoritarian government sent these messages,” noted Nadine Strossen, the former president of the American Civil Liberties Union, “there is no doubt we would call it censorship.”
The ACLU is one of the nation's largest democrat social justice organizations. And a former president blatantly stated America did things that dictatorships do.

Personally, until about 2019 I had a fervent patriotic passion in the present tense for my country. Even though we've had some horrifying leadership in the past, America was still a beacon of freedom.
I say "was" because, even though we are still freer than many other countries, our elections are rigged, our speech is censored, the literally locked down the country for almost two years. They prosecuted people opening their churches. They fired people for not taking a highly experimental vaccine that now is shown to cause heart problems in a large percentage of individuals and has had more side effects than all other vaccines combined, they label people enemies of the state for being patriotic, and the people, oh my gosh the people, almost everyone is so hateful, bigoted, narcissistic, and delusional now.
There's no tolerance in America anymore. There's no freedom. We are raiding lawyer's houses of political opponents. The government is telling Facebook what is fact and fiction, and Facebook is censoring it regardless of if the government is telling the truth. There's political prisoners rotting in a nondescript building with an indefinite trial date. We are launching investigations into political opponents based on dubious intelligence.
This isn't nearly the land of freedom it once was. But what really irks me about it is the amount of people who are completely ambivalent to all of this, and the number of people who believe it isn't even happening.

The FBI and DOJ never said Trump wasn’t involved. But they are investigating Trump and are very interested in the 1/6 Select Committee’s report.

Are any of those people the FBI?
Because Politicians will say anything, but they are not the branch of government that is trained, vetted, and trusted with investigating all threats foreign and domestic. The FBI, which is, has not found any evidence that the horrific attack on our nation's capitol was caused by, or even linked to, former President Donald J. Trump. More than 800 arrests, 40 counts of seditious conspiracy, and not a single person has said they were connected to Trump. Not a single electronic communication has given any sort of indication that former President Trump was involved with January 6th.
The Justice Department and the FBI both disagree with the January 6th commission's baseless accusations. Now, the question for you is, are you going to declare the FBI and Department of Justice are illegitimate institutions and continue to spread disinformation about a former duly-elected official and promote baseless conspiracy theories?
Because, as it stands right now, you are spreading disinformation and promoting baseless conspiracy theories about a horrific attack on our nation's capitol, making a mockery out of the democratic process by asserting the FBI and DOJ are not doing their jobs, and asserting, without evidence, that a former duly-elected official of the United States committed treason, when not even the FBI or DOJ are claiming he was involved.

these are biblical verses and written in opposition to the laws of the Totah
No. They are verses written in opposition to Judaizers who were erroneously teaching Christians that all of the Old Testament laws are still binding even though Jesus instituted the new covenant outlined in the Prophets.

TRUTH COPS
Leaked Documents Outline DHS’s Plans to Police Disinformation
By Ken Klippenstein, Lee Fang
The Intercept
...In retrospect, the New York Post reporting on the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop ahead of the 2020 election provides an elucidating case study of how this works in an increasingly partisan environment.
Much of the public ignored the reporting or assumed it was false, as over 50 former intelligence officials charged that the laptop story was a creation of a “Russian disinformation” campaign. The mainstream media was primed by allegations of election interference in 2016 — and, to be sure, Trump did attempt to use the laptop to disrupt the Biden campaign. Twitter ended up banning links to the New York Post’s report on the contents of the laptop during the crucial weeks leading up to the election. Facebook also throttled users’ ability to view the story.
In recent months, a clearer picture of the government’s influence has emerged.
In an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast in August, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Facebook had limited sharing of the New York Post’s reporting after a conversation with the FBI. “The background here is that the FBI came to us — some folks on our team — and was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election,’” Zuckerberg told Rogan. The FBI told them, Zuckerberg said, that “‘We have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump.’” When the Post’s story came out in October 2020, Facebook thought it “fit that pattern” the FBI had told them to look out for.
Zuckerberg said he regretted the decision, as did Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter at the time. Despite claims that the laptop’s contents were forged, the Washington Post confirmed that at least some of the emails on the laptop were authentic. The New York Times authenticated emails from the laptop — many of which were cited in the original New York Post reporting from October 2020 — that prosecutors have examined as part of the Justice Department’s probe into whether the president’s son violated the law on a range of issues, including money laundering, tax-related offenses, and foreign lobbying registration.
Documents filed in federal court as part of a lawsuit by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana add a layer of new detail to Zuckerberg’s anecdote, revealing that officials leading the push to expand the government’s reach into disinformation also played a quiet role in shaping the decisions of social media giants around the New York Post story.
According to records filed in federal court, two previously unnamed FBI agents — Elvis Chan, an FBI special agent in the San Francisco field office, and Dehmlow, the section chief of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force — were involved in high-level communications that allegedly “led to Facebook’s suppression” of the Post’s reporting.
The Hunter Biden laptop story was only the most high-profile example of law enforcement agencies pressuring technology firms. In many cases, the Facebook and Twitter accounts flagged by DHS or its partners as dangerous forms of disinformation or potential foreign influence were clearly parody accounts or accounts with virtually no followers or influence
In May, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt took the lead in filing a lawsuit to combat what he views as sweeping efforts by the Biden administration to pressure social media companies to moderate certain forms of content appearing on their platforms.
The suit alleges governmentwide efforts to censor certain stories, especially ones related to the pandemic. It also names multiple agencies across the government that have participated in efforts to monitor speech and “open collusion” between the administration and social media companies. It identifies, for example, emails between officials from the National Institutes of Health, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Zuckerberg at the beginning of the pandemic, and reveals ongoing discussions between senior Biden administration officials with Meta executives on developing content moderation policies on a range of issues, including issues related to elections and vaccines.
Attorneys for the Biden administration have responded in court by claiming that the plaintiffs lack standing and that social media firms pursued content moderation policies on their own volition, without any “coercive” influence from the government. On October 21, the judge presiding over the case granted the attorneys general permission to depose Fauci, CISA officials, and communication specialists from the White House.
While the lawsuit has a definite partisan slant, pointing the finger at the Biden administration for allegedly seeking to control private speech, many of the subpoenas request information that spans into the Trump era and provides a window into the absurdity of the ongoing effort.
“There is growing evidence that the legislative and executive branch officials are using social media companies to engage in censorship by surrogate,” said Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University, who has written about the lawsuit. “It is axiomatic that the government cannot do indirectly what it is prohibited from doing directly. If government officials are directing or facilitating such censorship, it raises serious First Amendment questions.”
During the 2020 election, the Department of Homeland Security, in an email to an official at Twitter, forwarded information about a potential threat to critical U.S. infrastructure, citing FBI warnings, in this case about an account that could imperil election system integrity.
The Twitter user in question had 56 followers, along with a bio that read “dm us your weed store locations (hoes be mad, but this is a parody account),” under a banner image of Blucifer, the 32-foot-tall demonic horse sculpture featured at the entrance of the Denver International Airport.
“We are not sure if there’s any action that can be taken, but we wanted to flag them for consideration,” wrote a state official on the email thread, forwarding on other examples of accounts that could be confused with official government entities. The Twitter representative responded: “We will escalate. Thank you.”
Each email in the chain carried a disclaimer that the agency “neither has nor seeks the ability to remove or edit what information is made available on social media platforms.”
That tagline, however, concerns free speech advocates, who note that the agency is attempting to make an end run around the First Amendment by exerting continual pressure on private sector social media firms. “When the government suggests things, it’s not too hard to pull off the velvet glove, and you get the mail fist,” said Adam Candeub, a professor of law at Michigan State University. “And I would consider such actions, especially when it’s bureaucratized, as essentially state action and government collusion with the platforms.”
“If a foreign authoritarian government sent these messages,” noted Nadine Strossen, the former president of the American Civil Liberties Union, “there is no doubt we would call it censorship.”

My claim is that you have blatantly misrepresented what the FBI found and said
Show me a single instance where the FBI said Trump is behind January 6th. You won't find one because it is a conspiracy theory being peddled by the Democrat Party based on disinformation.
The FBI did not even investigate whether Trump colluded with Russia because collusion isn’t a legal term. The legal term relevant here is conspiracy, which would require Trump and the Russians to explicitly coordinate with each other. No one is even accusing him of that.
Conspiracy is to collude with someone. It is the same thing. Look up the definitions of the two. It's easy to do:
Conspiracy: In criminal law. A combination or confederacy between two or more persons formed for the purpose of committing, by their joint efforts, some unlawful or criminal act, or some act which is innocent in itself, but becomes unlawful when done by the concerted action of the conspirators, or for the purpose of using criminal or unlawful means to the commission of an act not in itself unlawful.
Now for collusion:
secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose
They literally both mean to make an agreement to cooperate for something. Therefore, investigating conspiracy is investigating collusion. They are the same thing.
Moreover, Mueller blatantly stated there was no evidence of conspiracy:
So stop spreading disinformation about a former duly-elected public official. There was no collusion. Muller found nothing. If the FBI found nothing, then it absolved him of the crime.
They had nothing to prosecute because nothing was there.
The investigation is still ongoing.
And 800 arrests later with 40 charged for conspiracy, they have not been able to establish a link to President Trump:
After all this indictment and interviewing and more there is still no evidence it was Trump behind it. This isn't even me or the DOJ saying this, it is also the mainstream media:
Stop spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories. Not even the DOJ agrees with you.

When faced with biblical facts they don't like this is a normal reaction of Christians and I wouldn't expect anything less.
The problem is that your facts are of the alternative variety. It is abundantly obvious from the usage of standard exegetical methods of interpretation that your opinion on Paul is completely wrong.
Paul literally called all Scripture God-breathed in the Greek. This includes the Torah. He literally stated it is to be used in all aspects of Christian living and doctrine. It is apparent that Paul did not think such a book is shit to anyone who is honest and seeking to do more than peddle disinformation and conspiracy theories about Christianity.
By calling this covenant “new,”he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. <<, This is Paul in action and taking it upon himself to do away with the old and ushering in his new religion and calling the old "shit"> Philippians 3:8 KJV
It amazes me, how, 2000 years later, the same lies continue to surface about Paul.
Let's use proper exegetical methods of interpretation used by scholars for a minute and leave playground hermeneutics where it belongs, among children.
For starters, the Scriptures ALWAYS mentioned the two covenants. Paul is not invalidating the Law. In Hebrews (assuming it is a speech by him) he is simply explaining what the Jews had known until they decided to revise history after Jesus came: that the old covenant is invalid when the Messiah arrives. He is NOT saying the scriptures are invalid. He is saying the very same thing that God told the people of Israel in Jeremiah 31, which he quotes verbatim following that reference you made (remember context):
31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” - NASB95
From this it is abundantly clear that God Himself abolished the old covenant when he died and rose again. This was always the plan.
But NONE of this says the Scriptures are abolished. The Scriptures are NOT the covenant. The COVENANT is outlined WITHIN SCRIPTURE.
Just look at what God, Himself stated: "I will write my law on their hearts."
Paul never invalidates the Law. But he does repeat God's own statements that the Old Covenant is repealed. That is what he means. With a New Covenant comes new laws, and there were honestly only revisions on the cleanliness laws and the ritual laws/observations of the seasons.
The parallels to the covenant in Deuteronomy 30-31 is apparent. A circumcision of the heart, a covenant to all people both far and near, a promise of restoration, and prophetic utterances about future events. The new covenant is now in standing, and the old covenant is repealed. This is what God requires, so we must obey it.

Just went into great detail explaining how you cannot apply the same standards of a court room to a general conversation about whether Trump is guilty.
Ah. So we need special rules for people we don't like. Got it.
He has not been absolved from Russia-gate. I literally just explained this to you in the post you were responding to. Is there any reason you chose to ignore it while recycling the same tired talking points?
The FBI disagrees.
He was also not absolved from January 6th.
The FBI disagrees.
All you do is lie and pretend things that happened didn’t and that things which were said weren’t. Your refusal to look reality in its face and deal with it for what it is makes clear why you believe the things you do.
Where is my lie? Did the FBI not declare there was no evidence Trump colluded with Russia? Did the FBI not declare there was no evidence Trump and his officials were behind January 6th? Where is the lie?
Right now you are claiming that the FBI is likely engaging in disinformation and lying to the general public about a former President. You are claiming, without evidence, that the FBI conducted a faulty investigation.
The only lies are coming from you, who is spreading conspiracy theories and disinformation about a former duly-elected President of the United States.
The FBI has absolved Trump of every major wrong the Democrat party and the media erroneously reported about him. They even had to dispell the myth that Trump was selling secrets and had nuclear codes.
Stop peddling disinformation and conspiracy theories about a former President of the United States.
The facts are there is no evidence Trump was behind January 6th and no evidence he colluded with Russia and no evidence he was selling secrets or kept documents for a nefarious purpose. The FBI blatantly stated this. They investigated the same things the J6 Democrats are investigating. They also interviewed and took the communications of all the 540+ people arrested. They found nothing.
The trials are based on an inaccurate conclusion of events. If the FBI thought differently they wouldn't have concluded there was no evidence.

@Stephen
being a devout Jew and abiding by the laws of God for all his years were a complete waste of time...the word to describe the Torah is a "polite way for offensive things which people, when bitterly cursing in anger, naturally refer to.
I take issue with you claiming a Benjaminite and fellow Jewish person is calling the Torah "excrement." Especially since he goes to great lengths to quote from it, tells his student Timothy to make sure it is read in the synagogues, and expresses a deep love for it and it being the reason the Jewish people are specially blessed by God.
As the prophets make clear, there is an old and new covenant. Paul was expressing contempt with still following the old covenant when it is no longer in effect.
True Judaism follows the new covenant, since the messiah prophesied in Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 came and died and rose again in AD 0, 2022 years ago.

Philippians 3:8 is a reference to Paul's zealousness as a Pharisee. He upholds the value of the law in Romans, 2 Timothy 3:16, and other places. In fact, in Acts, the Berean Jews were called "noble" for investigating the Old Testament to see if the Apostles were saying the truth.
Romans 3:1-4:
Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2 Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3 What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written,“That You may be justified in Your words,And prevail when You are judged.” - NASB95
In this passage, Paul says the Jewish people were greatly blessed because they were entrusted with the oracles of God. This is complete respect for the Torah and all the other Old Testament books.
But he further explains later in the chapter:
31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. - NASB95
So Paul clearly had deep respect for the law.
But in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 he goes further snd blatantly states that it is directly from the mouth of God and is profitable for all aspects of Christian living:
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for [b]training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. NASB95
So it is apparent Paul was not calling the scriptures "shit" by any means. Paul has deep respect for the Scriptures, as evinced from his own writings.
The context for the passage you recite is:
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision; 3 for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, 4 although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; 11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. (NASB95)
From the context it is apparent the things he is counting as loss are his accomplishments in Judaism as a zealot and his personal following of the Law. He states "for whom I have suffered the loss of all things," e.g. his status and prominence as a zealot in Judaism. Those things he therefore counts as shit (yes. I realize there are translation wars over how that word is supposed to be translated in the Greek. I believe it is a curse word, but many scholars do not) in relation to knowing Jesus personally.
The axiom is not whether the law is shit, but rather, between personal righteousness and righteousness from God. While Paul was murdering Christians, nobody found blame in him before the Law. But as he states, real righteousness comes from faith in God.
It is for this reason that Paul also calls himself "the chief of sinners" in other passages, e.g.:
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. 16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. - 1 Timothy 1:12-17 NASB95
We see here Paul stating that his persecution of the church was outright wrong and he blasphemed on top of that! So the parallel between this and Romans is that Paul is showing that you can do as best as you can, and check as many boxes as possible, but it doesn't matter because we are all sinners. We all fall short. Even those of us who work really hard at trying to follow all the commands and excel in them in the eyes of others, we still cannot make it in on our own merit.
So this is why it is counted as shit to Paul, because it is ultimately not enough to he saved. And that is why faith in God is the only way to forgiveness.

Even the FBI didn't find anything on him. On anything. He's been absolved from January 6th, from Russiagate, the only thing they have him on is failure to pay taxes. They also found nothing at Mar-a-lago.
So unless something new happens, he is innocent until proven guilty. That's how our legal and government system works. He has been investigated three times now for crimes equaling betraying your country, and all three times he has been cleared. What is your justification for believing that it is not bullshit?

Identifying as another gender is totally fine, as long as it was their own idea. Keeping it secret from parents is a safety measure.
Honestly, Identifying as transgender is temporary in 90%+ of cases. Puberty almost always straightens them out.
Keeping it a secret is not normal or ethical. It is manipulative and implies that all parents are psychopathic, trans-phobic bigots. It also is telling parents and their children they don't have a right to their own kid, but rather the government owns their kid and simply rents them back to their parents like a pimp.
"You can't hurt the child. Only I can hurt the child." Typical pimp mentality.

Men who dont have sex with more than 1 woman in their life have lowest risk of all STDs.
I agree with this. But it isn't an either/or thing. That same person, if he is uncircumcised, will still have a higher chance of getting HIV than a person who is circumcised.
The medical science doesn't change because you're a science denier.
Amount of STDs only increase when men and women become whores!!!!
This isn't completely true. While many STDs do primarily transmit via sex, there are many, such as herpes, clamydia and AIDS, can be transferred nonsexually.
Simply sharing a vape or needle with someone can give you AIDS or herpes or many other STDs. That isn't sexual transmission at all.
As per Heathline:
Bloodborne infections, such as hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can be transmitted through nonsexual contact with infected body fluids, such as blood....STDs can also be transmitted through nonsexual contact with body fluids, such as saliva, vaginal fluids, male ejaculation, blood, and more. Mothers can pass some STDs to their babies during pregnancy, labor, and breastfeeding....Hepatitis A (HAV) is passed through the oral-fecal (poop) route. For example, someone can transmit HAV if they do not wash their hands before preparing food or drinks.You can also get HAV by sharing food with someone, especially if their blood gets into a sore or cut in your mouth. The blood in their mouth could come from a sore or bleeding gums. While contracting HAV this way is rare, it’s best not to share food with others.
Mayo Clinic also concurs:
Sometimes these infections can be transmitted nonsexually, such as from mothers to their infants during pregnancy or childbirth, or through blood transfusions or shared needles.
So, while STDs are most commonly spread via sexual intercourse, there are many that are spread in a variety of different ways other than sex. Such as through sharing vapes or needles or through blood transfusions, or from a mother to her child.
I am literally feeding you facts bit by bit in hope that your retarded brain can understand how HIV is transmitted among population.
Apparently not because, like, you're wrong lol. You can get HIV from sharing needles, from a blood transfusion, or from a person's blood splattering into an open wound or being accidentally ingested.

I agree with you that there are people who identify as a different biological sex than they were born with, and people who have same-sex attraction, but there is also a real movement to propagandize transgenderism by the Pritzker family.
They are the ones who are trying to push children into transgenderism through using untested pseudoscientific dogma as the standard of care for children who struggle with gender dysphoria.
FWIW, if an adult wants to become transgender, that is their choice. I disagree with such a decision, but I still think it is their choice to do so.
But pushing it into kids, giving them medication, and keeping it a secret from their parents? That is fucking dispicable. A 6-year-old doesn't know enough to give informed consent on such things, let alone a school counselor telling them to do it instead of seek therapy. That is horrifically unethical and a violation of the Socratic Oath.

That book was written by humans.
Except for all those pesky prophecies that happened precisely as they were written hundreds and even thousands of years earlier.
Not even Nostradamus claimed he was that good. In fact, Nostradamus specifically stated he wrote vague prophecies on purpose so they could he proven right.
On the contrary the Bible makes very specific prophecies about future events when the prophecies were written and gets them 100% correct. They name people, groups, and more and get it spot on. That isn't random guesswork, that is inspired text.
How could the writer of Psalm 22 have known about crucifixion and dividing lots of clothing:
16For dogs have surrounded me;
A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.
17I can count all my bones.
They look, they stare at me;
18They divide my garments among them,
And for my clothing they cast lots.
According to the witness testimonies of Jesus's death, he was beaten beyond recognition, they pierced his hands and feet, and they cast lots for his clothes.
The only way this prophecy could have come true is if it was an actual writing of a future event.

Circumcision might have various health benefits. Circumcised males have easier hygiene, as it is simpler to wash the penis, but boys with uncircumcised penises can be taught to wash under the foreskin. Circumcision also lowers the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially in the first year of life.Once they mature into adult males, circumcised males may have a lower risk of contracting some sexually transmitted diseases. Circumcision doesn't affect fertility. It also is not thought to enhance or lessen sexual pleasure for men or their partners.
Circumcision is simply healthier.

Attempted coups are not "claiming election integrity is important."
There you go again claiming, without evidence, that January 6th was an attempted coup.
Stop spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories about the events of the 2020 election already. Or at least buy a tinfoil hat.
Taking your two twenty something sons up to the Capitol to beat up some cops and lynch the Vice President because you're mad about who won is not "claiming election integrity is important"
I don't know where you got all that from her unverified social media post.
Moreover, the entering of the Capitol Building was planned as a psyop. You can hear a guy yelling at people with a megaphone telling people to enter the capitol building:
This video shows capitol police waving people in:
And an FBI agent said in a sworn affidavit that BLM rioters were fomenting hatred and causing a disturbance at the capitol during the largely peaceful protest:
And police officers reported that at least 2 known members of the ANTIFA terrorist organization posed as Trump supporters:
This is John Sullivan, talking to protesters about "burning this shit down" at the Utah Capitol:
John Sullivan was at the Capitol riot. He was caught pretending to be a conservative Trump supporter:
Moreover, according to the New York Times, the activists and provocateurs were already breaking down the barriers before Trump even finished speaking:
But the real creme de la creme of this entire thing is that twitter posts, facebook groups, and metro police text messages prove that the ANTIFA terrorist organization and Black Lives Matter marxist paramilitary group planned the whole thing:

Nope it isnt at all healthier or better.
For starters, circumcision protects against HIV infection and spreading:
Moreover, the foreskin of the penis is notoriously difficult to clean and harbors a wealth of bacteria that are easily neutralized by removal of the foreskin:
And according to the American Academy of Pediatrics:
Specific benefits from male circumcision were identified for the prevention of urinary tract infections, acquisition of HIV, transmission of some sexually transmitted infections, and penile cancer.
In general circumcision is just healthier. There is a reason God mandated it in ancient times, when the knowledge of medical treatment was significantly different than it is today. It is simply less deadly to be foreskin free. This is a fact.
But transgender mutilation, on the other hand, comes with a whole host of medical problems, as the American College of Pediatricians states:
There is no evidence that children are born “transgender.” Instead, children who have a strong desire to be the opposite sex, or the belief that they are the opposite sex suffer from a treatable psychological condition called Gender Identity Disorder (GID).Children and adults with GID experience higher rates of psychological distress. However, when the impact of hormone therapy (HT) and sexual reassignment surgery (SRS) was studied among adults, the individuals continued to suffer with the same pre-treatment mental health disorders. Consequently, Johns Hopkins University shut down its premier program. When asked about HT and SRS in children Dr. Paul McHugh, professor of psychiatry at John’s Hopkins remarked, “This is child abuse. It’s like performing liposuction on an anorexic child.”
Moreover, researchers studying the effects of transgender hormonal therapy on women found, according to NBC News that:
Transgender women on hormone therapy may be at a higher risk for cardiovascular problems, such as stroke, blood clots and heart attack, researchers reported Monday.
So aside from the false equivalency between circumcision and gender therapy, the health benefits of circumcision are clearly documented in contrast to the dangerous health effects of gender therapy.

So I must be circumcised as a baby so women wont blame me for giving them STDs?
I don't know where I said that. Because, you know... I didn't.

@RationalMadman
Yeah. Because removing A foreskin, which is known to harbor harmful bacteria if not cleaned properly and is responsible for spreading STDs to women, is the same thing as turning your penis inside out, shoving it into a freshly-made hole in your body, chopping off your balls, putting on a dress, and then taking estrogen to feel "normal."

No it doesn't. It cited the AJC and explained what the other side stated:
Fulton County representative Regina Waller said two poll workers were “relieved of their duties due to questionable social media posts,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Waller did not name names or provide details confirming that Kronen was the dismissed worker she was referencing.
But even moreso, it is a screenshot of the post and not the post itself. It could be a fake for all we know.
Moreover, who is to say she wouldn't take her post seriously? Wouldn't someone who claims election integrity is important be someone who would uphold the integrity of an election?
I know someone who volunteered in their district in part because of the 2020 election and the fraud.

Georgia GOP Poll Worker and Her Son Allegedly Kicked out of Polling Location After They Look Up Her Social Media
By: Jack Davis
The Western Journal
One unabashedly conservative Georgian’s exercise of her freedom of speech appears to have been too much to take for the Fulton County Board of elections.
Laura Kronen of Johns Creek fired off irate Twitter messages saying that she and her son were bounced from their poll worker jobs because of her social media posts.
Fulton County representative Regina Waller said two poll workers were “relieved of their duties due to questionable social media posts,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Waller did not name names or provide details confirming that Kronen was the dismissed worker she was referencing.
Based on Kronen’s description of the alleged violating tweet, it appears she was referencing the following tweet:
Fulton County representative Jessica Corbitt-Dominguez framed the issue differently than did Kronen.
She said a poll worker raised concerns on Monday over “comments made by another poll worker during a virtual poll worker event Sunday and on social media.”
The secretary of state’s office also had some issues on Tuesday, resulting in the two poll workers being dismissed.
In a video of a confrontation between Seth Weathers, a former state coordinator for former President Donald Trump who has been calling attention to Kronen’s plight, and authorities, one of the men summoned to escort Kronen can be heard saying, “they do not want a disturbance.”.
The original tweets and more are available in the original article:

I only need one every 6 months.
Apparently men's hair grows, on average, 1/3 inch a week. I don't know how this is possible. Mine grows, like, an inch every two months. I can normally go 3-4 months without a haircut. But usually 4 months is pushing it.

But let's also not forget that the "Democracy Democrats" raise dead people to vote (and win) elections, and allow candidates who are controlled by the mob to run for office.
And let's also not forget that the "Democracy Democrats" magically added absentee 400,000 ballots in Pennsylvania the night of the election and elected hyper-partison wack jobs who have known ties to the WEF's young global leaders to head up their election government departments.
Both sides are guilty of fraud and election rigging.

- Are there any facts between "CNN says Justice Department officials have discussed " and "Biden to appoint" or is all that in-between just happening in your imagination?
I thought CNN was a factual news outlet for you. Is it a partisan rag now that it is revealing the totalitarianism of the Biden Administration?
It's more than just discussions. This is actually being seriously considered by Biden. This only happens in countries like Venezuela. Not in Republics and Democracies.

According to CNN:
As Donald Trump inches closer to launching another presidential run after the midterm election, Justice Department officials have discussed whether a Trump candidacy would create the need for a special counsel to oversee two sprawling federal investigations related to the former president, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.The Justice Department is also staffing up its investigations with experienced prosecutors so it’s ready for any decisions after the midterms, including the potential unprecedented move of indicting a former president. Top aides to Trump have been eyeing the third week of November as an ideal launch point for his campaign, with two sources telling CNN on Friday morning that the team has specifically discussed November 14.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/03/politics/doj-trump-investigation-expansion-special-counsel/index.html
Special investigations into political opponents? Indicting the opposition? This isn't democracy. This is tyranny. Biden is officially a dictator.

Owens is far to the right of any other elected official in the city
Except here is her response to Ballotpedia's candidate survey indicating a strong democrat streak:
I believe I can do more at the State level. Our children can be more advanced in language and literary skills by improving our education system. Health Equity for efficient healthcare for all by building partnerships, better policies, and programming. A plan of action to keep our top resource, our water, clean by less dumping and more advanced infrastructure. I want our state to have more economic stability by creating strong Michigan-based products and businesses.
Source:
Health equity through government policies? That isn't republican or conservative at all.
She also wants to use the Michigan government to control the winners and losers in Michigan's economy. Funding businesses and using the government as a capital investor is not a conservative value at all.
She has also received money from a PAC that donated to other Democrat candidates:
She also attended a Louis Farrakhan speech in February of 2020. Conservatives hate that guy, but many leftists who are anti-LGBT gravitate to him.
She also didn't meet with Trump, and she went in her capacity as Mayor of Michigan to curry pro-Michigan policies from the administration:
In her early days as mayor, Owens visited the White House with a group of fellow local elected officials. There, she met Vice President Mike Pence.“I wasn’t able to meet the president of the United States [Donald Trump], but I was still able to meet the vice president,” Owens said with a glowing smile.
Source:
In this interview with WXYZ she stated she wants the schools to become college extensions and wants businesses to have partnerships:
Once again these are not remotely close to conservative values. Conservative values are not sending your kids off to a small college in elementary and high school, especially since colleges are propaganda factories to most conservatives.
She isn't really conservative at all. It doesn't matter what she's done previously. She admitted herself that she is not Conservative and she ran as a Democrat on purpose. Adding the censorship she is doing, that is the nail in the coffin. Conservatives generally are not for silencing others' free speech.

I disagree. Conservative means something totally different depending on the location.
For instance, in America there are actually two different types of Conservatives, and they are constantly at war with each other ideologically.
There's the George Washingtons of the country's founding who were less concerned about freedom, rights, and limited government and more concerned with making Christianity the public and private religion and practice of every citizen and creating a strong federalized government that legislates morality, (See Washington's Circular to the State Governments) and then there were the Thomas Jeffersons and James Madisons who were concerned with defending individual liberty and natural rights. (See Madison's remonstrance of a state religion and Jefferson's writings on Virginia).
Today, these groups would roughly coincide with the Paleoconservatives and the Libertarians. Both are at war with each other for control of conservatism and call the other one a traitor to the founding of the nation.
But in Britain, the a true conservative party would be advocating for the throne and a monarchy. Edmund Burke, although considered an English Conservative because he basically wrote the english common law commentaries that are still cited to this day, but he actually was against the idea of a lot of what Paleoconservatives support here in America who use him to claim legitimacy to their movement.
But I digress. The point is Conservative is a rather useless term that changes meaning with the times. True conservatism in Europe would be people who advocate for a monarchy and a centralized rule of power and a Christian social framework. True liberals in Europe are the Classical Liberals who oppose all of that. But in 21st century Europe they have flipped sides. Now the "conservatives" want a small, elected government and don't want the government to legislate morality and the liberals want the massive government and a single leader.

I mean, does anyone remember Our Principles PAC and the reason for the founding of The Lincoln Project and The Bulwark? They were all started by the establishment wing of the Republican Party and all were rabidly anti-Trump. In fact, Our Principles PAC and The Bulwark were literally started by establishment Republican strategists, media celebrities, and/or Congressmen to foment hatred and bad public opinion on President Trump.
See:
The Republican Party base, on the other hand, is tired of the establishment. They voted for Trump precisely because he spoke to their values. The GOP establishment didn't like him then, and they don't like him now. Nothing's changed.

According to Marketwatch:
When it comes to longer-dated yields, midterm elections could “provide a potential catalyst … if the Republicans win decisive control of both the House and Senate as some polls and betting markets are suggesting,” Wilson wrote.
Mike Wilson works for Morgan Stanley as their Chief Investment Officer. According to him, if Republicans win the midterms it will boost the stock market. So since Republicans are winning, the stock market is rising.

Now, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that defends free speech, filed a federal lawsuit accusing Owens of “abuse of authority.”
Video shows Owens repeatedly interrupting and silencing constituents at the podium expressing support for Councilman Harvey Curley, who has been involved in an ongoing dispute with Owens.

- You are just repeating yourself and obviously dissembling.
- No honest person would fail to admit that Kimmett is not an objective observer here.
- I already demonstrated that Kimmett failed to report that Sheller is both top GOP and the Election administrator who fired Zheng. No honest report would fail to disclose that conflict of interest and there is zero possibillity that Kimmett was not aware of that conflict of interest.
- The objective, conservative Indianapolis Star did report the essential conflict that the GOP and KImmett covered up.
- I do not assert that Zheng is innocent. You are the only one deceptively asserting facts that you do not know to be true here.
- The GOP's guilt in manufacturing election fake news is manifest, whatever the truth turn out to be here.
1. I am stating facts. Facts that you are working very hard to steer the conversation away from. Why are you so scared to engage with the facts? The real question here is why you are attempting to defraud a whistleblower who defended innocent children from a school system that was engaging in teaching disturbingly racist propaganda?
2. No honest person would peddle conspiracy theories and defraud election officials without evidence.
3. Kimmett states:
A Democrat poll worker, James Zheng, was ejected from a Carmel, Indiana, polling location Thursday evening following complaints of electioneering and election interference, election administrator Beth Sheller told Chalkboard Review. Sheller said that voters and volunteers who identified this individual directly interfered with the voting process.Zheng was accused by local voters of telling black voters “…not to vote for the racist candidates outside” indicating a group of pro-parent candidates (beyond the electioneering boundary) running for school board in the Carmel-Clay school district, Sheller said. Two of the voters complained about this act of electioneering to the pro-parent school board volunteer Rhonda Kuchik outside, who told Chalkboard Review she then reported this to the local inspector.According to a press release by the Hamilton County GOP and confirmed by the election administrator, James was told by the inspector not to return Friday or Monday to the early voting center set up at Mercy Road in Carmel. In a later November 6 statement released on social media, Zheng denied these allegations.
He then shows the press release from the GOP chairman.
4. Now you are asserting, without evidence, that the GOP and Chalkboard Review are engaging in a comspiracy to cover up a conspiracy. Where does it end with you and your conspiracy theories?
5. Here you are asserting, without evidence, that he is innocent:
I tend to believe Zheng because he is willing to name names and give specifics and because he went to the press first and filed a complaint with the state first.
6. Now you are asserting, without evidence, that the entire Republican Party is engaging in a conspiracy to lie to the general public and foment distrust in the electoral process. Is everything Republicans do some sort of conspiracy to you?

@oromagi
admit that Kimmett has political skin in the game and is not a nonpartisan oberver/reporter of facts here, ortell another lie.
Ah, yes. Framing the question to suit your end goals using an irrelevant either/or fallacy. Another classic propaganda technique used to steer conversations against the real issues and toward the propagandist's aims.
Kimmit was a brave whistleblower who uncovered a conspiracy to brainwash children with racist propaganda and lie to their parents about it. This is admirable, courageous, and patriotic behavior. Anyone who fights racism and uncovers conspiracies to manipulate children is good people.
In this article, He posted the DNC, GOP, and Zheng's statements, demonstrating first-rate reporting ability and skill. Posting sources from all sides of the issue is the pinnacle of balanced reporting. To assert this brave whistleblower who presented a balanced coverage of events is a "hack" is to assert that good journalistic ethics do not matter to news reporting. Do you believe there should be no ethics in journalism?
Moreover, to assert, without evidence, that the GOP is engaging in a conspiracy to defraud the election is uncalled for, hypocritical, and demonstratively predatory language.
There is no reason to assert that Zheng is innocent and the GOP guilty when the Democrats are in the midst of losing the House and possibly the Senate, giving the DNC clear motive to engage in ballot rigging and other efforts to defraud the 2022 election.

@oromagi
Why risk criminal behavior if there's not possible benefit?
You'll have to ask Zheng.
Why do keep asking questions I have already answered?
Because you didn't answer them. You engaged in loaded language and assailed the GOP with a cherry-picked opinion of events.
To assert, without evidence, that the GOP engaged in a conspiracy to commit election interference makes you a conspiracy theorist.
