Jeff Wright,
I am well aware that during wartime the merchant marine were at great risk of death, maim, and injury, but that does not make the merchant marine part of the government. It just means that these are civilians in harm’s way, and their bravery should not be rewarded with restrictions on their speech, religion, or association that the Constitution protects for them.

As with many other aspects of life, government has overstepped its authority and imposes itself in areas that the Constitution forbids it to go.

It could be that since there are military personnel in charge, they have forgotten that they are in charge of civilian trainees, and that they have forgotten their oaths to protect and uphold the Constitution. This is easily done in Obama’s fundamentally transformed America, land of the formerly free.

APPRECIATE A GOOD SQUIRM?

Bill Gates, one of the richest men on the planet: https://youtu.be/Q6DjVqklXIc 59 secs.

The squirm says so much to me.

He regrets having dinner with Epstein.

And what else might he have regrets about regarding Jeoffrey Epstein?

Who if you remember “killed himself” while in prison.

You remember, the closed-circuit security cameras were “malfunctioning” AND the guards who were charged with watching him to make sure he did not kill himself were “asleep” in one of the very highest security federal government run prison facilities ;)

Men hate it, but you usually can never go wrong if you listen to your wife concerning such things.

They force you to defend yourself against their ideology and bog you down in the legal system which they now control:

This is fundamental change, accent on “Mental”.

To quote the DoT website:

” Paths to a Maritime Career – There are many paths to becoming a mariner. For some, it begins at the MARAD-run United States Merchant Marine Academy, one of the service academies. ”

Unless you define the funding of USMA West Point, USNA Annapolis, USAFA Colorado Springs or USCGA New London as “grants” rather than federal government funding of an educational arm of the Armed Services, Kings Point NY is no different than the rest of the academies.

Doubting Thomas: Getting government grants does not make a college a government agency. If so, every university in America would officially be one (though most today try to make believe they are, from a political standpoint).

Also, the MMA is funded by the Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) and in 2023 will get $99.7 million and has received over the last 10 years, on average $83 million per year.

You can decide if the MMA is a part of government. By the way, US DoT provides about $77 million to the six State sponsored merchant maritime academies: California Maritime Academy, Great Lakes Maritime Academy, Maine Maritime Academy, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, SUNY Maritime College, Texas A&M Maritime College.

Antifa Gets Wrecked in Seattle by Counter-Protesters: “Unmask Them All”

The start of a movement?

Edward: You are right! I forgot entirely that this is not a government agency. As absurd as the claim of separation of church and state often is, in this case it is also stupid and groundless.

In times of war, the Merchant Marine can be an auxiliary to the United States Navy, and can be called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel for the military.

Now the Taliban protects the buddhas for China until they can be relocated to start mining activities as an open pit mine that will destroy everything.

Couldn’t find the footage that shows them pushing the plunger that occurred 20 years ago….

Joe; you are right.

Apparently A local small farm got some cheap chicken feed that was laced with round up and it killed his chickens.
The grain was meant to make bread for humans, but it got wet in recent storms and sold it to the farmer.

Have a copy made (put the original in a chapel)
and have the copy in an ordinance range..specifying that if they want it removed..they have to be photographed pushing the plunger in front of a video playing of the Buddha’s destruction…call their bluff.

They blast it…keep the original safe…and when theses worthies get canned for some other stunt…put the original back in a year or two…after the video of them pushing the plunger goes viral.

I would just say that it is of some unknown Jew who was standing on a hidden rock.

Maybe the lefties would be a little more forgiving or understanding if they didn’t think it was Jesus.

When it was found that they could not stop the illicit activity they were offered a chance to leave or they went to quiet closed monasteries as far away from people as possible.

The church understood it was a place of safety for gay people all over Europe in a time that they were threatened by death in the general population.

The Pope acknowledging this openly is nothing more that a way to bring the situation to the attention of the laity so that a little pressure from them might help to clean out the church.
Homosexuals are safe in the modern world now, so the church does not have to protect them.

“Pope Benedict XVI Publishes Posthumous Book, Says Some Seminaries Have Homosexuality, Pornography Problems
Taking aim at the United States seminaries, Benedict wrote that ‘homosexual clubs operate more or less openly’ in the current Church.”

Joe: You sent me an email recently about Quub. It did not arrive as planned. Please send again.

The feed is not the problem – bird flu is. Egg laying hens are being destroyed by the millions to stop a contagion. I’ve seen them wipeout entire farms here in Pennsylvania. Watching a bird die from it is gruesome to watch. Of course, this puts a strain on our food supply and now makes it lucrative for the Mexican cartels to start trading in fowl goods.

Well said! Unfortunate, but well said!

There are other suitable Mariners Chapels in Massachusetts, California and Detroit Michigan but I feat the evil contagion these states are held under.

I served under a Commanding Officer who graduated from USMMA and accepted a Navy commission, he is outraged at the actions of his alma mater.

Come to think of it, I was quoting the former head of DARPA last night about her claim of the vaccines being a moral cause.
Even a Russian orthodox priest who spoke out against lockdowns and vaccinations was just defrocked and sentenced to seven years. Russia is part of this and is doing its part. (Putin is friends and a follower of WEF Schwab…

A local doctor would help parents out, falsifying vaccine cards so their kids can go to college or school. It will cost him everything.

He’s actually a local hero now, knowing what we know now about the shots, he saved lives fulfilling his oath as a doctor, harming no one. Indicted like a war criminal!
(but the opioid/fentanyl pain killer pushers advertise for new victims as their old patients die off)
The death cult movement is taking over. There’s reports of an egg shortage, the chicken feed has been laced with something that’s causing the chickens to stop laying eggs. Our food supply is being contaminated.

Is a Very Jealous Religion….
Ask the 140 million dead listed in the

Black Book of Communism.

I’m not a Christian, but walking on water is pretty cool trick. Where is the offense?
