I'm the cold one and have learned to take an extra blanket to bed. My spouse, the warm one, gets to control the thermostat. I can always throw on an extra blanket, but when it's sweltering and all coverings are thrown aside, it's hard to sleep.

My first problem is that the GOP wants to have people's private vital information freely given to them and that people would be required to comply. Tying that information to activities of consenting adults will be misused. Blue noses can't keep their noses in their own business, and the possibility for graft and blackmail is immense.

When did the GOP start to care about children, anyway?

I recently subscribed to Ground News, a news aggregator site that rates news sources to left, leans left, center, leans right, and right.
It also rates their outlets to being partially accurate or highly accurate. GN also report and who owns the outlets, to give a window to biases by owners.

My personal bias is to being factually accurate and honest, far more than the red/blue/green divides.

Sadly, discourse is such that being accurate is a right filter, leaving far fewer right outlets that can be trusted. For example, I have found that RT is more often correct than some of these outlets. Why? If RT propagandists throw in truthful news, they gain credibility, which buoys their credibility for when they break to full propaganda.
In a same vein, 60+ lawsuits were foisted in the last election over fake votes, with every single one thrown out by not having any evidence to support their accusations. But I still hear someone BSing those lies. But whadaboutism accusing Biden is still innuendo, without proof, and most importantly, does not excuse others to be free to break laws.
If Joe Biden took money from foreign interests, for himself, via Hunter, he would deserve prosecution, too.

Finding any balance that to a so-called center is still half crazy, which is not good enough.

Fox News was sued and famously paid 3/4 of a billion dollars to pay damages for their lies, and more lawsuits are coming. Pulitzer prize winning magazines and newspapers deserve greater weight for truthfulness, while I would argue, Fox News and RT should be banned. They simply cannot be trusted.

If you apply physics/math knowledge, you can understand why these 5-inch guns are more deadly. Higher velocity, longer range and more accurate are what makes these a better fit for modern warfare. Relatively speaking, these smaller ships can be produced and deployed faster. Although the costs seem high, they are comparatively cheap.

As for inches, it's not a d*** contest.

Then, there was the Middle Eastern prince, who's father, the king, was funding chairs and paying for a major expansion of the college. We will leave it with his having a different set of relaxed rules guiding him. The king was generous when his son did well in his classes.

MTG may have made the difference in the US agreeing to pay the deficit interest on their bills. I am waiting for their (FC) next attack on children in school to be over rainbow colors in boxes of crayons.

I looked up https://ground.news on your suggestion and immediately signed up. This is the site that I have wanted to find for years. Thanks

"I'd imagine the Court really doesn't want to get into the business of deciding what a legitimate religion is".

Given the make-up of SCOTUS, a legitimate state religion IS their bias. Overturning Roe is an example of ruling for their religious bias.

SCOTUS is not held to any ethical standards and have appointments that last for life. The conservative court has gone off the rails on their latest rulings, arguably making discrimination legal, even on protected groups. This upends decades of protections for vulnerable groups that were targeted by fascist groups.
While Roberts is whining about criticism on what his court has done, the main topic of criticism is newsworthy in that it has real consequences.
The same groups that lean toward authoritarianism, also lean toward Putin being allowed to take Ukraine. This fight spills over to the rest of the world.
