Deterrence through the justice of God

Original Article

Posted By: minuteman, 6/4/2022 7:38:06 AM

As we deal with the aftermath of the tragic school shooting in Texas, we also face predictable and insensitively timed cries for gun control. I’ve always been surprised and bothered that Conservatives don’t respond with their own policy suggestions. In the face of such wickedness, when our laws seem to fail at deterring crime, we must ask what needs to change and return to the source of our principles: God’s justice. How does God command we deal with murderers? The death penalty is actually the second command God gives humanity in the Bible.  CORRECTION*

We have a long way to go when those we have elected can't even bear to put violent felons in jail for longer than an overnight stay and a free breakfast. The death penalty is not a bad thing.

Liberals are calling for more laws when, in fact, the horrible tragedy in Houston reflects what is wrong with our laws. There isn't anything wrong with our laws; what is wrong is they are not enforced. Corrupt prosecutors, plea bargaining, defense lawyers etc. add to the problem. . .

Wow, I live in Huntsville, Alabama and was not familiar with this website or newspaper or column or whatever. I’m glad I found it because now I can start following it.

Last week, the Alabama Democratic Party (ADP) announced the forthcoming departure of executive director Wade Perry, who is reportedly taking a job outside of politics he said he "couldn't pass up." Perry's last day is Tuesday, but before his departure, he let it be known to the world that he thinks highly of Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Katie Britt.

The primary function of any school is to focus on the academic growth of students. This is where it starts and where it should end. Marxist-Liberal Democrats have taken control of public schools and teach children lies about their bodies and their rights — to children as young as kindergarten. Having been given over to their reprobate mind, Marxist-Liberal Democrats have schemed a well-orchestrated plan to further their degenerate thinking by pushing conversations about transgenderism upon five-year-old children.  CORRECTION*

The Katie Britt campaign for Senate announced on Wednesday that Britt will not be participating in any of the planned debates ahead of the Republican primary runoff for U.S. Senate. Her opponent, Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL05), accused Britt of hypocritically flip-flopping on her previous debate pledge...Mike Durant, who at one time was the leader in the polls in this race, also refused to debate and was denounced by Britt for his decision. Now Durant is out, and Britt is the frontrunner and has adopted the same anti-debate stance.

Mike Durant has backed away from saying he would support Mo Brooks in the Alabama Republican Senate primary runoff, saying Thursday he would not be voting in the June 21 runoff. Durant, a one-time frontrunner in the race, finished third in the primary behind Katie Britt and U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks. Durant, sensing he would not make the runoff, said on the eve of the primary that he would support Brooks in the expected runoff. “I’m not going to vote,” Durant said in an interview with 1819 News.

Tim James wants folks to know he doesn’t care much for LGBTQ acceptance, which the Republican candidate for governor says is putting Alabama children in the “crosshairs of hell.” “I will show these people and what they’re doing to these little ones no mercy,” James said in a recent speech to the North Shelby County Republican Women. Of particular interest to James, and the biggest target of his ire, is the Magic City Acceptance Academy, which he calls “vile” and “evil.”

Donald Trump said he didn’t say it. Mo Brooks said again that he did. The former president disputed he told the Huntsville congressman he wanted him to work to remove President Joe Biden from office, according to an interview Trump gave to The Washington Post. Such action, Brooks said Trump believed, would facilitate Trump returning to the White House. “I didn’t ask him to do it,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday with The Post. “He’s in no position to do it. I certainly didn’t ask him to do it.”

Newly released video from the West Terrace tunnel of the U.S. Capitol provides more details on the collapse, beating, and death of Rosanne Boyland on Jan. 6, 2021. A three-hour video unsealed in late December in a Jan. 6 federal criminal case shows the 34-year-old President Donald Trump supporter entered the tunnel, was pushed back out, fell, and was struck by police before her lifeless body was dragged into the Capitol. Boyland’s sister and a New York attorney question the District of Columbia medical examiner’s finding that Boyland died of an overdose of a prescription medication she took for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The U.S. Constitution is the sacred text of American government and civic life. But it’s time to face facts: The document, written in 1787, isn’t working. The signs are all around us. Just 38 percent of Americans in a recent Gallup poll expressed either a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the presidency, down from 48 percent in 2001. Congress, never high in the public’s estimation to begin with, fell from 26 percent to a mere 12 percent. The Supreme Court has also taken a hit, down from 50 percent to 36 percent during the same period.

If it weren't for compounding interest, Cheryl — who requested her last name be withheld for privacy concerns — thinks President Joe Biden's plans to forgive $10,000 in student debt for federal borrowers might have made a difference for her. But with $303,000 in federal student debt — and an additional $20,000 in private student loans — the president's plan just isn't enough. "It is not even a drop in the bucket," Cheryl, 53, told Insider.

As the nation looks for ways to cut fossil fuel emissions to meet ambitious carbon reduction goals, natural gas, that common household fuel staple loved by cooks, is feeling the heat. So far, 77 cities and towns and Washington state have banned or discouraged new natural gas hookups. Los Angeles became the latest to join the list when its City Council voted last week to rewrite building codes requiring new homes and buildings achieve zero-carbon emissions – effectively eliminating future natural gas lines. Climate change experts say the shift is a necessary part of the nation's energy transformation. About half of

This ethnicity month and that skin color month, then you have a different month for various types of music created by people who happen to have a preferred ethnicity or politically useful skin color. The Democrat Party spends so much time insisting on our differences that even people who used to enjoy this garbage are having enough of it.

Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Friday blasted President Joe Biden and his administration for having created the record-high inflation and gas prices across the United States. Jordan told Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Company” that he was not as surprised as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she was that inflation followed the “crazy” spending, paying people not to work and doing away with energy independence. He suggested it was “intentional” by the White House. “As you know and your viewers know, inflation is the worst tax possible on American families,” Jordan lamented. “So, this is real. I think there are like eight states where it’s already over $5 a gallon.

In Milwaukee, the Brewers baseball team is getting into the spirit of the season by hosting Pride Night next Wednesday at their ballpark, a place whose name has taken on a new irony: American Family Field. The family fun Wednesday will include at least four drag queens, and hey, if they already strut their stuff on a routine basis in public libraries and elementary schools (and even Taco Bell), featuring them at baseball games at this late date just shows how hidebound and conservative the Grand Old Game is.

Elon Musk has questioned why billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's client list has not been released by the 'leaking' Justice Department.Musk, 50, shared a meme of 'things I'll never see in my life,' showing pictures of a dragon, a dinosaur, a unicorn, and text reading 'The Epstein/Maxwell client list.''Only thing more remarkable than DOJ not leaking the list is that no one in the media cares. Doesn't that seem odd?' Musk tweeted. 'Sometimes I think my list of enemies is too short, so.'The Justice Department came under scrutiny after it was revealed it conducted several leaks and borderline aggressive investigations on reporters and adversaries of then-President Trump.
