My view is that laws are arbitrary, that whoever is in involved in lawmaking is being arbitrary, whether the law is narrow in scope, meaning describing specific actions one might engage in, or an overarching law (one that is intended to be absolute) like 'obey the law'.
Agree?

New York Democrats have declared WAR ON THE AMISH. Thanks to their unconstitutional attack on religion, they're now able to fine EACH unvaccinated Amish child $2,000 EVERY SINGLE DAY.
⠀
The $118,000 bill is one day, not the cap. Three one-room schools alone already owe that much for 59 children, at $2,000 each.
⠀
Health Commissioner Mary Bassett imposed it on December 15, 2022. She called the sum conservative because it assumed only one day out of compliance.
⠀
Dygert Road was billed $52,000 for 26 children. Pleasant View was billed $46,000 for 23.
⠀
Shady Lane was billed $20,000 for 10.
⠀
Footnote 9 of the Second Circuit opinion records the state's view. Each day an unvaccinated student attends is a fresh violation and a fresh $2,000 fine.
⠀
Another day for those 59 children is another $118,000. A 180-day year at that rate is about $21 million, and the families say they cannot pay the first bill.
⠀
Joseph Miller, Jonas Smucker, and Ezra Wengerd run the schools. The schools sit in Clymer and Heuvelton, plus the Canajoharie settlement, and take no public money.
⠀
They had a religious exemption for decades. On June 13, 2019, Democrats repealed it after measles spread through Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Rockland County.
⠀
Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill. Governor Kathy Hochul left it in force.
⠀
A parent may not excuse a child for faith.
⠀
Senator James Skoufis said the exemption was made up and fake. Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz called it utter garbage.
⠀
Counsel Aaron Siri told the New York Post the families can pay only if the state takes their land. Some in the community have talked of leaving the state.
⠀
The case is Miller versus McDonald. The Second Circuit ruled against them on June 30 in 2026.
⠀
A Supreme Court petition was due around September 28.
Make sure EVERYONE sees this. If WE don't stand up for these incredible men and women - WHO WILL?!?!?!
⠀
Where is the “my body my choice crowd now”?

RFK Jr. says pro-vaccine researchers found girls given the DTP shot were 10 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE over the next three months than unvaccinated children.
The girls weren’t dying of diphtheria, tetanus, or whooping cough. However, they were dying of sepsis, respiratory problems, and common infections.
So on paper, it “worked.” Then a pro-vaccine Danish team looked closer and reached an unexpected conclusion: the shot was killing MORE children than it saved.
Girls dying at ten times the rate of the unvaccinated, and the media ignored it. This should be front page news.

American an European friends,
I’m so ashamed, but you need to see what France has become.
Don’t make the same mistakes we did.
The only peaceful solution is to send them back to their countries of origin they love so much.
We cannot coexist. It will be them, or us.

The Amish in New York are facing massive fines over Democrats vaccine mandates. Amish families will likely have to flee the state after losing the religious exemption they’ve had for decades
Amish private schools are being hit with crushing fines for not having students vaccinated
The fines are roughly $2,000 per noncompliant children, multiplied by the number of school days
3 small schools were sited, of the 59 children already cited, one more day of attendance brought the total fines to $118,000, they say they can’t pay it
New York Democrats position is that every day an unvaccinated child attends school there will be a fresh violation worth up to $2,000

Claudia Bismark was a beloved artist who lived in Fells Point for more than 35 years.
She was 76.
On Tuesday she went to breakfast with her husband.
Charging documents say a man sat in the back of the deli and watched her husband pay in cash.
When they left, he went out the back door and followed them.
A few blocks later he came up from behind, knocked them both to the ground, and took a wallet with $150 in it.
Claudia died Thursday.
Her husband, Wade, was left with a concussion and facial injuries.
The man charged is Montray McCray, 32.
Prosecutors cited at least 5 prior convictions, and local reports list:
* Guns
* Drugs
* Theft
* Evading arrest
* Violating a protective order
* Retaliating against a witness
* Court documents also list him as a lifetime registered sex offender.
A lengthy criminal record.
A lifetime sex-offender registration.
And he was still free to walk into a market, pick out 2 victims over breakfast, chase them down and kill one of them.
For $150.
The judge held him without bail this time, and homicide charges are expected.
A woman paid with her life.
For $150.
Her neighbors are the ones who helped identify him.
Meanwhile, I couldn't find a word of national coverage.
Only local Baltimore news has covered it.
Baltimore, the least you owe Claudia is to make sure he never walks free again.

Have you noticed the Cornell rape allegations have created far more outrage among women than the 250,000 British girls raped by Muslims
I wonder why that is?

5 girls in Pennsylvania accused a boy they did not like of these horrible sex crimes. After they told other people about their scam, their Snap posts were shared with the school and police and the girls admitted it was all a lie.
The boys lawyer and parents took a plea deal in the first case and did not seem to believe their own son.
The girls were never charged with a crime, and the civil suit was dismissed last year.
This is how our system treats men, and even boys. They can be convicted on words alone.

She tied her two young children together in the basement. Then she threw her body on top of them.
A tornado was heading straight for their home.
When it hit, the house collapsed.
Two steel beams crushed Stephanie Decker’s legs. Seven ribs broke. Her legs were almost completely severed.
But underneath her were her two children.
Alive.
Then they realised something horrifying:
Another tornado was coming.
Stephanie couldn’t stand. Couldn’t run. Couldn’t free herself.
So she pulled the blanket over her children, wrapped her arms around them and covered them with her broken body.
Again.
The second tornado passed.
Neither child had even a scratch.
Stephanie survived, but lost both legs.
People called her a hero.
She simply said:
“I call myself a mom.”

This 92 year-old war disabled veteran, survived two world wars, parachuted onto the beaches of France to fight the Nazis, evaded constant enemy machine gun fire, escaped a prison camp or two……
Only in the end to be captured by his own British government .
His crime?
He held a sign up above his wheelchair that Keir Starmer didn’t approve of.

France’s most infamous no-go zone has a far-left Muslim mayor laughing with rioters at a high school being burned down.
France is watching its own collapse.
Outrage in France after Bally Bagayoko, the far-left mayor of the country’s most infamous no-go zone Saint-Denis joined student rioters who were attacking a high school in the area.
He could be seen laughing with them, giving high fives and jumping up and down.
Bagayoko is the mayor of 150 000 people, of which around 90% are immigrants, second-generation migrants and third-generation migrants.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a South Carolina mom ST*BBED her 6-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter ~50 TIMES with a knife and then BEAT THEM WITH A BASEBALL BAT...
...she was ALREADY OUT ON BOND for child endangerment!!!
The boy may lose his ARM.
Her name is Taylor Gosnell. She's 35, from Cowpens, in Spartanburg County.
On February 12th, 2024, she was arrested on two counts of unlawfully placing a child at risk of harm.
A judge set bond at $5,000 per charge, she walked.
That case sat in the system for 31 MONTHS!!!!
No trial.
No resolution.
Last Friday night, deputies say, she picked up a baseball bat and a knife.
Investigators believe the attack happened in the dark, overnight.
Then she LEFT.
Her 3-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son lay injured in that house, for HOURS.
Saturday afternoon the 6-year-old found a way to call his grandmother.
He told her his mom wasn't there, and he and his sister were hungry.
Grandma grabbed Gosnell's ex-boyfriend and drove over.
They found both children covered in BL00D.
Televisions smashed.
Mirrors shattered.
Glass everywhere.
"Between the two children, we're estimating that there were approximately 50 ST*B wounds," said Graham McLellan with the Sheriff's Office.
"Some of the lacerations were so deep they cut to the bone," the Solicitor's Office told the judge.
The little boy took the worst of it.
Prosecutors say he's "facing the possibility of amputation of fingers and possibly an arm."
HE IS 6 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While deputies were still inside, Gosnell pulled up to the house.
She was talking fast.
She told them she was having "visions."
Then she tried to run from the ambulance.
Deputies handcuffed her to the stretcher.
AND IT GETS WORSE.
Both kids are at Prisma Health Children's Hospital in Greenville.
Multiple surgeries are ahead of them... please, PLEASE pray for these two young children today.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

NEW: RFK Jr. says Medicare spending on wound care patches exploded from $200 million in 2019 to $14 billion last year: "It's all stolen."
Bad actors billed Medicare billions by slapping the most expensive skin grafts on elderly and dying patients who didn't need them.
"The doctors who prescribed them would get 6% of the sales cost. And so, they were incentivized to prescribe more expensive products. In Europe, they spend 35 cents a cubic inch. We were spending $135, and that went up to $2,000 a cubic inch."
"So 2019, we were paying $200 million. Last year we spent 14 billion. All stolen. It's all stolen. And we were on track to spend 23 billion this year."
"We put an end to it, and we now have driven that cost down to somewhere around a billion dollars."
In one Arizona case, the owners of two wound care companies pleaded guilty to more than $1.2 billion in fraudulent claims. Medicare paid over $1 million per patient for grafts slapped on elderly patients who didn't need them, many of them dying in hospice.
In June, DOJ charged 11 more defendants over more than $2 billion in allograft claims, including a company accused of issuing sham invoices to inflate what Medicare paid.
It feels like every week I learn a new way people were ripping off taxpayers for billions.

🚨TILLIS: "Are you a conspiracy theorist?"
RFK JR: "That is a pejorative that is applied to me mainly to keep me from asking difficult questions.
I was told that I was a conspiracy theorist for saying that COVID vaccines wouldn't prevent transmission, now they admit it.
I was called a conspiracy theorist because I said red dye causes cancer, now the FDA acknowledges it.
I was called a conspiracy theorist because I said fluoride lowers IQ, now they have published a study showing a inverse correlation.
I can go on for a week."
