re: Slidell teen who filmed mom's arrest wins in court, St. Tammany Sheriffs to pay $185k

[quote]$185,000 in damages after finding that a deputy inflicted emotional distress while Johnson attempted to film his mother’s arrest.[/quote]
This is such horseshite and so disgustingly prevalent. If there are real, tangible damages that can be directly tallied, then that's one thing. "Emotiona...

I've been mocked in the past, on this site even, for harping on the fact that our biggest enemy now and into the future is still Marxism. Just because the Soviet state disintegrated doesn't mean Marxist revolutionaries disappeared or surrendered the cause or that their fanaticism and the appeal of t...

John Mearsheimer is not just some "online political commentator." He is a renowned scholar in the field of international relations. I was introduced to his ideas nearly 15 years ago in graduate studies. His philosophy on the way the international realm operates has been consistent and for some reaso...

[quote]We were never allies with Russia. We lent them weaponry, fuel and supplies until we entered the war.[/quote]
This is a very incorrect assessment. The United States under FDR gave the USSR weapons from before we entered the war and all the way throughout the war. We never held back due to c...

So in essence, OP is arguing that the United States has to support Ukraine not because Ukraine itself is essential to our national security or interests, but because we publicly committed to Ukraine's defense aka opened our mouths and now we don't want to lose face. The problem is, Ukraine is still ...

This is a key aspect of great powers offering public backing to smaller states that is overlooked.

It's a bit asinine to act as though the two wars are contextually the same. Personally I'm opposed to U.S. involvement in either but I also won't criticize the Israelis for doing what is in their security interests. They are battling a combination of Palestinian terrorist organizations and a state a...
