Any time I see a double standard, I look for the reasons.

When the USA, under Clinton, bombed Serbia, and 25000-30000 civilians died and infrastructure was destroyed, no protests.

ISIS (Da’esh) murders, rapes, enslaves Yazidi peoples in Syria and Iraq, no protests.

Syria, murders thousands of dissenters, no protests.

They should be jailed, and those they caused inconvenience and delays and missed appointments, missed work, and missed airplane flights, should sue the organizations that organized these protests.

Some of you might remember the film “Zelig”. Zelig is a 1983 American satirical comedy film written as a documentary, featuring a man named Leonard Zelig,

@anjewla90 @LauraLoomer @AndrewHGiuliani I remember Crackhead Barney and her friends going to lots of NYC protests and causing trouble.

Since Monday the 15th is tax day in the USA.….

I’VE FOUND THAT TWO TYPES TAXATION TEND TO BE PROBLEMATIC. One is taxation which is excessive and confiscatory.
1) The other is taxation where those taxed cannot see any benefit for them.

Two examples come to mind, one of which some people might dispute.

The first is in the Torah. The Second is the rebellion that initiated the American Revolution.

Just as it is the law in every other country in the world that I know of.

I am going to state this as clear as possible. Trying to understand Torah, trying to interpret Torah, through the lens of any other language, through translations, and

Circumcision.

@RNCResearch It is not illegal to own a cannon either although I see no reason to want to.

In the US, the ownership and possession of muzzle-loading black powder cannons are not regulated by federal controls because they are not legally considered firearms under 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(3)
