The above principle is a simple one, yet it’s the basis for all criminal law. In turn, criminal law is the basis for Common Law, the legal system for English-speaking peoples and much of the rest of the world. The idea is a simple one: If party A aggresses against party B, party B is entitled under the law to restitution or compensation to be paid by party A to party B. Click for Full Text!

Since 19 June, polls have consistently placed support for the right- populist party Alternative für Deutschland at 20% or higher, making them the second most popular party in Germany – slightly ahead of government- leading SPD, and behind the CDU/CSU. Last week, Thomas Haldenwang, the head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), gave a state media interview in which he accused the party yet again of harbouring “a significant number of people … who repeatedly spread hatred and agitation against minorities.” Despite serious questions about whether Haldenwang’s repeated slander is even legal, spokesmen for all the major parties ...

One day, Mike Royko was all done. Mike Royko was on the second page of The Chicago Tribune. Boy did he write some good politics. He cut down the Daleys in his writing like nobody’s business. He played softball — 16 inch, like a true Chicagoan. 16 inch is the kind of softball you can play with no mitt on one hand and a can of Old Style beer in the other hand. The ball is soft. The home runs are fun. The thing just lobs off the bat through the air. Click for Full Text!
The Fed Will Never Hit Its Inflation Target

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for July came out last week. Even though the headline number ticked up slightly compared to June, most mainstream analysts took it as a sign that the Federal Reserve made more progress in its inflation fight. In fact, most mainstream pundits seem convinced that the Fed is on the verge of winning that fight and pushing CPI back to its 2% target. In his podcast, Peter said they are wrong. Investors much-anticipated the July CPI report – not so much because they are worried about inflation, but because they are worried about high interest rates. Click for Full Text!

A Ukrainian official said Wednesday that Kyiv has given up hope that it will be able to use US-made F-16 fighter jets this year as the training process is facing delays. “It’s already obvious we won’t be able to defend Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets during this autumn and winter,” Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat said. “We had big hopes for this plane, that it will become part of air defense, able to protect us from Russia’s missiles and drones terrorism.” Click for Full Text!

Most people are familiar with the Constitution’s preamble. A lot of people were required to memorize it in school. But while the preamble is arguably the best-known part of the Constitution, it is the least important. Like so many other parts of the constitution, many people today believe that the preamble authorizes all kinds of federal power it never authorized in the first place. Click for Full Text!

The Journal cited an unnamed senior US official based in Washington.

Monetary Inflation Won't Create Economic Growth

When it comes to matters of money and banking, all practical political issues ultimately hinge on one central question: can one improve or deteriorate the state of an economy by increasing or decreasing the quantity of money?1 Aristotle said that money was no part of the wealth of a nation because it was simply a medium of exchange in inter-regional trade, and the authority of his opinion thoroughly marked medieval thought on money. Scholastic scholars therefore spent no time enquiring about the benefits that changes of the money supply could have for the economy. The relevant issue in their eyes was the legitimacy of debasements, because they saw that this was an important issue of ...
A Convention Wrap-Up (Part 2)

In the midst of the elections and the resolutions happening on the convention floor, one problematic refrain was heard over and over again. And no. I’m not talking about “Point of order!” “Microphone 5, what rule have we broken?” The repeated refrain was the basis of nearly every argument made by those in opposition to the resolutions concerning Concordia Texas. It was made by those in support of adding even more routes to pastoral training (which is heading toward wanting Synod to allow pastors to “self-ordain” their own men). The refrain was the argument used by the divisive, sectarian group “Lutherans for Racial Justice” who oppose condemning ...

From his second-floor office overlooking the harbor in Norwalk, Connecticut, Bob Kunkel can see Long Island looming over the horizon to the south. It's only about 10 miles away, straight across the blue waters of the Long Island Sound. But shipping anything from Connecticut to Long Island—or back again—likely means loading a truck, sending it down Interstate 95 toward New York City, passing through some of the most congested highways in the whole country, and eventually meandering toward the final destination.

Breaking! Judge Finds Hillsong Founder Brian Houston NOT GUILTY of Concealing Sex Abuse
Post Date: 2023-08-17 02:43:07 by Charles_Byrd

Former Global Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church, Brian Houston, was found not guilty of covering up sexual abuses committed by his late father over 30 years ago, with Magistrate Gareth Christofi handing down the decision in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court early Thursday morning. Houston, 69, was a child when his pedophile father, Pastor Frank Houston, molested Brett Sengstock in the 1970s. Houston found out about it in 1999, five years before his father’s death, but kept the matter under wraps instead of turning to the authorities or the police, citing the victim’s alleged wish for confidentiality. For his efforts, Houston was charged with concealing a serious indictable ...

Pastor, evangelist, and Leg-Lengthener Extrordinare Todd White continues to offer his own novel interpretations of the bible, claiming that God ‘knowing’ us is like having ‘intercourse with us, which is his desire. For a brief time, many had thought the notorious heretic had repudiated his false beliefs after delivering an emotional sermon where he admitted he was not preaching the full gospel– leaving people to wonder if he’d been saved. We put on our discernment caps and explained this is how we would know he was repentant. Sadly, the next week he demonstrated that he was not. Click for Full Text!
