The same arguments being used to shut down the Satanic Temple, “too disturbing,” “not appropriate,” and “offensive to children,” are the same ones that will be used one day to shut you down.
Do you believe marriage is between a man and a woman? That could be labeled disturbing.
Do you read the Bible in public? Someone might find that offensive.
You wear a crucifix, pray in a school lunchroom, or talk about creation? One day, that’ll be the excuse. “Not appropriate for children.”
We’re building the tools of censorship. And we’re handing them to people who think tolerance ends when their feelings get hurt.
Today, it’s Baphomet. Tomorrow, it’s Bethlehem.
If you’re cheering this, you're building your own cell.
The Capitol Isn’t a Church
The Iowa State Capitol doesn’t belong to the governor. Or the majority. It belongs to us, all of us.
If Christians can set up a nativity scene, then other groups can set up something, too, even if it’s ridiculous, even if it’s grotesque. Even if you think it’s morally bankrupt.
That’s the price of liberty.
It’s uncomfortable. //
This Isn’t Complicated
Let them put up their damn statue.
If it bothers you, look away.
Or pray harder.
Or put up a bigger, better display of your own.
Don’t ask the state to silence them for you.
Because that’s not liberty, that’s cowardice.
And deep down, I think we know that. We just don’t want to admit the uncomfortable truth:
We’re the ones failing the test.
Not them. //
The Constitution was never about safety.
It was about risk. Risking offense. Risking speech. Risking freedom.
Everybody counts.
Or nobody does. //

There are incompatible religious organizations as well as ideologies. Not all can be reconciled enough to live in the same community. Some even go to the extent to kill those they cannot convert - and that is part of their religion, in some it is a requirement. The point is not all can be peacefully brought together, not all can live side by side. Do we, in the name of "liberty" allow the extermination of one group from another to satisfy liberty? I suggest that there are limits to liberty for it to exist at all. The generalization, for liberty to exist it must exist for all, is an axiom that sounds good but it denies reality in that many religions or ideologies do not allow freedom for those not part of their religious order or community. For this axiom to be true it must by definition violate those religious precepts, liberty for all denies liberty for some, which make the statement nonsense, which invalidates the whole.

An Article V convention is the fast way to neuter the Constitution. Conservatives have done so well managing to get good people into Congress, they would get just the right people into the Article V convention?
The Constitution came out of a similar convention to "fix" the Articles of Confederation, but we had extraordinary men then. We don't have them now, we would end up without a Constitution, without a Bill of Rights, no 2A protection, no 1A protection for either speech or religion, and we would have something about 900 pages long that only lawyers could understand, instead of a 6 page document that every school child can understand.
An Article V convention is the "easy" way, and we conservatives have been trying for the easy way for at least four generations.
The only way this gets fixed is by hard work and dedication for decades. The problem is not what's not in the Constitution, it's what is or is not in the hearts of the people. Change the hearts of the people and you will change the culture and then it will be easy to get the needed changes in the Constitution.
There is only way way to change the hearts of people, and that is at the cross.
When the feds served a criminal warrant on a business in L.A.'s garment district, however, they weren't there to arrest illegal aliens; they were after a business owner who allegedly hadn't paid millions of dollars in taxes and tariffs and was part of an investigation into possible drug cartel activity.
Border Czar Tom Homan told L.A. radio host John Kobylt that the bust was over a "criminal conspiracy investigation involving money laundering, tax evasion, and customs fraud where one of the companies didn't declare over $80 million in criminal imports and failed to pay $17 million in taxes and tariffs." He told the KFI host that, "It was a criminal investigation and while we served a criminal warrant, we arrested about 40 illegal aliens." //
The U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill Essayli, told Kobylt that because they had a criminal warrant to search the premises, they're allowed to question and detain everyone. And they did. //
If what the feds say is true, then Gov. Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the entire leftist industrial complex, which is supported by U.S. tax dollars, as I reported in Who's Paying for the Violent L.A. Protests Against ICE? You Are, are supporting riots while castigating the feds going after the illegal drug cartels.
Using an SD card on the moto g7 play
Your phone supports an optional microSD card up to 512 GB.
The type to buy depends on how you'll format the card:
Portable storage (can use card in different devices): A Class 2, 4, or 6 card is sufficient.
Internal storage (card used only by phone): Use a high speed card such as UHS-1 type for best performance. Class 2, 4, or 6 cards are slower than your phone’s internal storage, so using them for internal storage would slow your phone's performance.

I want to use a live USB iso of FreeBSD to mount my actual system ans change a config file.
My problem is, I can't mount it because I get an error thay says that the filesystem is "read only" (reffing to the ISO filesystem).
Is there another way to do it? Can I make the filesystem read-write?

Create a mount point under /tmp/, mount the file system there. /tmp is a tmpfs and rw.
How to fix high CPU usage while there is nothing in the Task Manager? //
To use Windows Defender, follow these simple steps:
- Press the Windows Key+I to open “Settings”.
- Select Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
- Click “Run a new advanced scan”. In earlier versions, click “Advanced scan”.
- Select “Windows Defender Offline scan”.
- Click the “Scan now” button. This restarts your PC and the scanning process begins. (It’s important to save and close all your work before proceeding).
If this doesn’t resolve the high CPU usage on your computer, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Check if the WMI is hogging your CPU
The WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), also known as the WMI Provider Host process or WmiPrvSE.exe, is a Windows service that helps to monitor various systems on a network. Since it handles a large number of systems, it’s not uncommon for the WMI to run out of control and cause abnormal CPU usage.
Something broke. The VPS would not boot:
ZFS: out of temporary buffer spaceSo this sounds like a missing step in the automated upgrade flow. Normally, using new features in zpool is deferred until you choose to upgrade the pool after the reboot, so you get to see the warnings. At a guess (because I'm on FreeBSD 11.4 still), the OpenZFS migration forces the issue to do the zpool upgrade early and they missed the gpart requirement. //
boot from the current rescue disk
bring ifaces up
scp a current/13 zfsbootcode file
install that
//
gpart bootcode -p /root/Downloads/gptzfsboot -i<gpart index of freebsd-boot> <block device>
with that just use the correct path from gptzfsboot
or just dd if=/root/Downloads/gptzfsboot of=/dev/vtbd0p1 if you are brave

🚨NEW — LA Mayor Karen Bass DOUBLES DOWN on calling riots "peaceful" & blaming ICE raids for violence.
"If immigration raids had not happened here, we would not have the disorder..."
"It is peaceful now, but we do not know where and when the next raids will be!"

They really need to point out that the raids started as the execution of a warrant for the business owners. They only apprehended the illegals after they found them there. She looks very foolish pretending this all started because of ICE. //

Money laundering operation was the intent on Friday, not illegals. Tells you everything you need to know about B-ass and LA.
When push came to shove, Thunberg ran away back to Europe instead of standing against what she falsely claims is a "genocide." She's not a revolutionary. She's just an attention-seeking fraud who wants to post selfies and get on television while not paying any cost for her radical activism. We've seen that dynamic play out many times, where Thunberg is "arrested" and released within hours. She's cosplaying.
The other part of this is that Israel was going to make her watch video of the October 7th attacks while in detention. Instead of facing the reality of what her Hamas buddies did, which just might push back on her narrative, she chose to flee at the first chance. That speaks to her complete lack of morality and authenticity. Even if one truly disagrees with how Israel is battling Hamas in Gaza, her complete obfuscation of Palestinian atrocities is the tell that Thunberg has no deep-seated belief about any of this.

system: FreeBSD v13.0-p7
reason: the bootloader is broken (e.g. after update)
solution: reinstall the bootloader(s) to your boot disk(s)
- Boot from recent FreeBSD image
- find out the devicenames and boot partition number from your boot-disks
gpart show
(the partition named “freebsd-boot” is the boot partition on every disk) - reinstall the pMBR and GPT ZFS bootloader (for every booting disk)
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i <boot-partition-number> <devicename>
(e.g.gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0)
(e.g.gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada1) - reboot

A Chinese researcher allegedly tried to smuggle biological materials into the US from Wuhan and lied to the feds about the secretive scheme.
Chengxuan Han was arrested Sunday after landing at the Detroit Metropolitan airport on a flight from Shanghai, according to charging documents. She was charged with smuggling goods into the US and making false statements.
Han is the third Chinese scientist to be charged with smuggling illegal biological materials into Michigan in recent weeks.
According to author Peter Schweizer, the ICE operation where Huerta inserted himself to obstruct had less to do with illegal workers and more to do with money laundering. So, why did Huerta know to go there on that day, and toward what end? //
It seems bigger corruption is being exposed, and neither Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass nor Gov. Gavin Newsom want this to happen. They are flat-out refusing to cooperate with ICE and allow them to conduct their investigations and removal operations.

"Selfie yacht"
The idea behind this color revolution – it is organized and planned, not spontaneous or genuine – is to intimidate normal people into submitting and embracing the politicians associated with its goals in the hopes that it will stop. This is the work of the Democrat Party; the rioters are its useful idiots, acting to support the party’s goals while its maintaining deniability. But this scheme only succeeds if the target is feckless and weak, which such targets usually are. Trump isn’t. He’s going to win this because he understands this fight better than his enemies. The chaos is an illusion; his strength is reality.
Remember, this is not a kinetic operation. A kinetic operation achieves its goal by the violence itself. Kinetic operations destroy enemy personnel, reduce enemy combat power, or conquer territory through physical destruction. But this is an information operation. It accomplishes its mission by influencing the population. The violence itself is not an end, but a means; the goal is to compel people to submit by convincing them to accept the narrative.
And the narrative here is that Los Angeles is in complete chaos as a result of Donald Trump attempting to enforce federal law, so to stop the violence, Donald Trump must be compelled to cease enforcing federal law. This, of course, would be a devastating neutering of Trump while strengthening the Democrats. They want to make Trump look weak and convince America to submit to their intimidation. But this plot only works if we accept the illusion they are presenting.
Remember, it’s an information operation. None of what you see on the regime media is real. Oh, they are burning a few cars and screaming and yelling and running around waving flags of garbage countries, but what does any of that actually do? Nothing. They can’t make anyone do anything. They are not eliminating any federal law-enforcement capabilities. They are not significantly hindering federal law enforcement operations. They are not holding significant territory over time. They’re simply acting out in front of the cameras to try to convince you that Trump is powerless. //
The impact on the daily life of 99% of people in Los Angeles is exactly zero. There are approximately 20 million people here. Maybe 5,000 have anything to do with this nonsense.
Again, it’s all an illusion designed to frighten and confuse you. That’s what an information operation does. It creates a narrative in people’s brains to achieve an effect it can’t achieve by force. These mobs don’t have the capacity to do much of anything except block some freeways and set a few cars on fire. If the cops and the Guard decided to get kinetic, they’d be wiped out faster than they could chant, “No justice, no arrrggggghhhh.”. //
Trump is handling this just right. The battle isn’t on the streets of Los Angeles. The battle is in the hearts and minds of normal Americans. When normal Americans see burning and looting by degenerates, they are naturally frightened and appalled. What the leftists want to do, what the purpose of their information operation is, is to convince normal people that they have no choice but to submit because no one can protect them. Trump breaks that paradigm by providing an alternative – he will protect them, and therefore normal citizens don’t have to submit to the intimidation. All you need is someone willing to stand up to these dirtbags and it completely disrupts their info op.
