These questions are those that might be asked by leftist Democrats, RINOs and conservative Republicans. [general] Should the original Constitution or any particular amendment be primarily interpreted using the intent of the persons who wrote the Constitution or a particular amendment? Was Thomas Jefferson an extremist? Was James Madison an extremist? Would interpreting the Constitution as Thomas Jefferson would be extremist? Would interpreting the Constitution as James Madison would be extremist?

The president of the United States is not really Donald Trump, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez signaled to California Democrats gathered for a fundraiser last week. “Let’s give it up for the real president of the United States,” Perez said Thursday as he introduced former President Barack Obama, according to Politico. The $2,700-per-plate event in Los Angeles was designed to raise money for the DNC.

Idaho was great! It is so beautiful there the scenery looks like a painting. The people were great. The only people who were rude were from California, Oregon, Washington and Canada. Idaho residents were uncommonly courteous and friendly. My daughter and I were by ourselves but we felt very safe everywhere we went and slept well for being away from home. We actually felt safer in a strange place than we did at home. Never heard one siren in a whole week. We were mostly passing through small towns that had an openly God oriented atmosphere. Lots of pro life...

There's a growing number of people who seem to think the world is, in fact, flat. But it gets better. They also insist that Australia is actually just one big hoax. According to a viral Facebook rant, the entire country (and presumably the 24 million people that live there) is completely FAKE. The idea resurfaced at a recent gathering of so-called Flat Earthers in Birmingham recently where over 200 people came together to confirm to each other that the Earth is nothing more than a giant pancake. The origin of the "fake Australia" post started on Reddit back in 2017...

question #1: should we care about the universe beyond how it affects us as humans? Question #2: the kind of life we are most likely to discover elsewhere is microbial – so how should we view this lifeform? Question #4: is there a duty to protect the environment on other planets? Question #5: what, besides biological contamination, would count as violating such an obligation to treat that planet's environment with respect? Drilling for core samples, perhaps, or leaving instruments behind, or putting tyre tracks in the dirt? Question #6: what about asteroids? Question #7: what considerations might offset arguments in...

He writes the songs that make people run. Some Rite Aid stores in California have taken to blasting Barry Manilow tunes as part of a plan to make loiterers scramble. Employees told the Wall Street Journal that the drugstore chain has been testing the tactic of playing songs by the 75-year-old crooner outside their stores — over and over, loudly — to deter panhandlers and vagrants. But the plan has also left neighbors mystified. “I thought some older man had died and left a Barry’s Most Depressing Hits CD on repeat,” said Lisa Masters, a professional drummer in Long Beach...

Sociology professor Alicia Walker is asking male participants to voluntarily send photos of their anatomy along with measurements – in an aroused and non-aroused state – as part of a research project approved by the Missouri State University Institutional Review Board, The College Fix reported. “The study is examining the importance of men's self-esteem and feelings about their bodies and their experiences in a society that worships size and tells men that they're less than if they don't measure up,” Walker told Fox News. “For the men I've spoken to thus far, that impact has been grave.” Walker clarified that men are not emailing...

His remarks came a week after he condemned the Trump administration’s since-reversed practice of separating children from parents accused of crossing the U.S. border illegally in an interview with The Irish Times.
