Senator Lindsey Graham has announced that he’s ready to ‘go to war’ for Chick-Fil-A.

Nice to see how he prioritizes his responsibilities.

Like a weed.

At least on an intellectual level.

On creativity and spelling the weed has the edge....

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

2 California Men Have Been Charged With Plotting To Bomb A Democratic Party Building

https://www.npr.org/2021/07/16/101684481...c-building

Quote:Two California men who were angry about former President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss have been indicted on charges they plotted to firebomb the Democratic Party's headquarters in Sacramento.

The defendants, 45-year-old Ian Rogers and 37-year-old Jarrod Copeland, are both facing one count of conspiracy to destroy a building by fire or explosives. Rogers has also been charged with firearms and explosives offenses, while Copeland is facing an additional obstruction of justice charge.

Prosecutors say the two men were upset about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and wanted to jump-start a "movement" to overthrow the government. They hoped to recruit others to their cause and even reached out to the Proud Boys to try to rally support.

Or maybe blame the insurrectionist movement that the majority of the Republican Party agrees with.

China gamed the system when becoming part of the PISA group in two ways 1) instead of being a representative mix of child abilities China's testees all come from elite schools, and 2) the Chinese education system get the PISA tests ahead of time and tailor the classes taking it to getting good results.

Outside of a few schools for the sons and (massively fewer) daughters of the elite, Chinese eductaion is just awful.
