Search Results: signs he's over me

Yup this is a real sign in a public Idaho library. If you are under 18 you must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and every time they do they must sign an affidavit.

Approve or disapprove?

I'll leave this here while you contemplate this

Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation on Wednesday requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom in Louisiana, making the state the only one with such a mandate and reigniting the debate over how porous the boundary between church and state should be.

Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom From Religion Foundation, vowed a legal fight against the law they deemed “blatantly unconstitutional.” But it is a battle that proponents are prepared, and in many ways, eager, to take on.

The legislation is part of a broader campaign by conservative Christian groups to amplify public expressions of faith, and provoke lawsuits that could reach the Supreme Court, where they expect a friendlier reception than in years past.

Governor argued that the Ten Commandments contained valuable lessons for students.

“If you want to respect the rule of law,” he said, “you’ve got to start from the original law giver, which was Moses.

It will also include a three-paragraph statement asserting that the Ten Commandments were a “prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries.”

That reflects the contention by supporters that the Ten Commandments are not purely a religious text but also a historical document, arguing that the instructions handed down by God to Moses in the Book of Exodus are a major influence on United States law.

“Given all the junk our children are exposed to in classrooms today, it is imperative that we put the Ten Commandments back in a prominent position,” said State Representative Dodie Horton, the Republican sponsor of the legislation.

The measure allows for “our children to look up and see what God says is right and what he says is wrong,” Ms. Horton told colleagues. “It doesn’t preach a certain religion, but it definitely shows what a moral code we all should live by is.”

First they lost Crimea

Then the bigger scale invasion began

Sometimes I watch Reporting from Ukraine just to see how the territorial map changes over time.

The Russian forces took Bakhmut. Then the tactical Terrikon mountain near Avdiivka. Then Avdiivka itself. Then they spread from Avdiivka until the next line of defense.

Now they're attacking the Kharkiv region, trying to creep in some more.

Historically from what I saw those small creeping territorial changes in other wars (such as the Korean war, Spanish civil war, Israel and Palestine show similar signs) tends to be like a slow acting poison, that'll overtake bigger areas sometime later.

I believe, that Ukraine is losing this war despite it seeming like a stalemate with smaller territorial losses creeping in. But then again, it's the 2. nd most powerful military against the country ranking among the top 20 most powerful military forces. References:
