All along they must have been saying "No one is a bug the law." Whatever that means.
Because after the Hunter Biden pardon, they couldn't possibly have been saying:
"No one is above the law."

A feature of PTSD is the anger. It is also a feature of schizophrenia.
I wonder if they are different forms of the same disease.

The biggest failing of Christian Doctrine is not promoting Christ's teaching, "Any man can do what I have done." It does away with a need for a lot of Church. The Church founders were institutionalists.

Any man can do what I have done. My basic method follows.
Shut up, listen, and pay attention. There may be some redundancy involved.
If you are quiet enough and listening, you will start getting messages. Paying attention includes doing what you are told.

Being angry activates the body's fight or flight system. You get an adrenal rush. I have often thought that being angry all the time from abused child PTSD might be a cause of the diabetes "epidemic" we are having. It turns out there is some evidence for that.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Incidence of Type-2 Diabetes: A Prospective Twin Study
Growing evidence has linked posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes, but most previous studies were cross-sectional. We examined the association between PTSD and incidence of diabetes in a prospective study of middle-aged male twins from the Vietnam Era Twin Registry. Lifetime PTSD was diagnosed at baseline with the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) according to DSM-III-R criteria. Subthreshold PTSD was defined by meeting some, but not all, criteria for PTSD. A total of 4,340 respondents without self-reported diabetes at baseline were included. Of these, 658 reported a new diagnosis of treated diabetes over a median of 19.4 years of follow-up. At baseline, twins with PTSD showed more behavioral and metabolic risk factors such as overweight and hypertension. The age-adjusted cumulative incidence of diabetes was significantly higher in twins with PTSD (18.9%) than those without PTSD (14.4%), [odds ratio (OR)=1.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.8], and intermediate in those with subthreshold PTSD (16.4%) (OR=1.2, 95% CI 0.9-1.5, p for trend=0.03). Adjustment for military, lifestyle and metabolic factors diminished the association. No significant association was found comparing twin pairs discordant for PTSD. In conclusion, PTSD was prospectively associated with a 40% increased risk of new-onset type-2 diabetes which was partially explained by a cluster of metabolic and behavioral risk factors known to influence insulin resistance. Shared biological or behavioral precursors which occur within families may lead to both PTSD and insulin resistance/diabetes. Thus, PTSD could be a marker of neuroendocrine and metabolic dysregulation which may lead to type-2 diabetes.
First let us identify some of the genes involved. From the Wiki.
Many genes impact the limbic-frontal neurocircuitry as a result of its complexity. The main effect of the D2A1 allele of the dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) gene has a strong association with the diagnosis of PTSD. The D2A1 allele has also shown a significant association to PTSD in those having engaged in harmful drinking. In addition, a polymorphism in the dopamine transporter SLC6A3 gene has a significant association with chronic PTSD.
Numerous studies indicated that the prevalence of certain alleles of the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) vary across different ethnic groups. Under adverse environmental conditions, these alleles can increase the risk of developing psychiatric symptoms. Thus, we hypothesized that the prevalence of the DRD2 gene Taq IA allele may serve to explain the horrific behaviours practiced by the Nazi regime. Hitler’s ‘Brain Washing’ methods goaded his followers to carry out genocide at a time when carriers of the DRD2TaqIA allele (the so called ‘aggressive--genotype’) were significantly higher among the Aryan Germans compared to resident German Jews. It would be of interest, to genotype the Jewish Holocaust survivors, to determine whether those with the Taq AI allele survived in greater numbers. The hypothesis being that, greater survival may result in enhanced frequency of not only the DRD2AI allele but other reward gene polymorphisms among survivors. Understanding the molecular genetics of any population in terms of reward dependence and subsequent behaviours will be most beneficial in future human interaction whether negative (war) or positive (peace) in nature.
No one dares say it out loud.
It does not mean we should let them all out at once. Or at all (except when they finish their sentences). It means we can deal with root causes.
If we do good we can empty the prisons over time.

I used to have a pinball/juke box route as a kid. I started at 15 and did it for 3 summers working for Joe Rothkup and Bob his tech guy. Late 50s. Fixed the machines. Collected the money. Paid the establishments. Got real good at the silver ball. When I worked at Seeburg as a contractor years later computerizing their juke boxes they had a Williams (coulda been a Gottlieb) in the break room. I mostly beat their best guy. We liked each other but he was always irked when he lost. Love this song.

Anyone contemplating Peace in Ukraine must take into account Putin's plan for a Soviet Reunion..
Russian President Vladimir Putin has never hidden his nostalgia for the days of the Soviet Union. He worked as a spy at the KGB, lamented the end of communism, restored lyrics chosen by former Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin to the Russian national anthem, and marshaled Soviet-style military parades in Moscow. He's even restarted a national fitness program founded by Stalin.
The program, which began in the 1930s, would "pay homage to our national historical traditions," Putin said in March.
His most direct praise of the old Soviet Union came in 2005, when he shocked the west in a speech to the Russian people. He told them that the end of the USSR was essentially a mistake.
Israpundit has the news: Jewish delegates at the DNC have to meet in hiding
Peloni: The fact that any American Jew would submit to such requirements as meeting in secret to demonstrate their affiliation with an organization, whose brute squads are the cause for them to have to hide in the first place, demonstrates a serious pathology of the mind. This example of Stockholm Syndrome is very sad, very troubling, and yet, very revealing. I hope that the majority of American Jews take the fact of this matter to heart, and realize that the Democratic party, which they seem to believe defines them, has no interest in providing them with safety, liberty, nor equality, all of which are the basis for which govt is intended to exist, and for ALL Americans.
“After 50 years fighting antisemitism in America, I could not have imagined a time -Jews would have to meet in secret locations in Chicago at DNC,” former ADL leader Abe Foxman tweeted.
It’s almost impossible to find a “pro-Palestinian” rally that isn’t drenched in antisemitic rhetoric, anti-Jewish venom, or stereotypical tropes. They chant “from the river to the sea”, which means the complete annihilation of the Jewish state. They have called on Hamas and Hezbollah to inflict more death and destruction on Jews living in Israel. They have called for violence against Jews in the diaspora. These rallies clearly reveal a veiled antisemitism under the guise of being "pro-Palestine."
Victor Davis Hanson is discussing Trump's media strategy. He thinks Trump is being out played. I'm not seeing it that way.
Victor does not understand the current media environment. Trump's is not a conventional media strategy. The Ds depend on the Big Five. Trump is going with hundreds of little guys. Given the five are bleeding to death - he is the future. The word on Kamala/Walz is getting out. Not in ads but in commentary videos. He has hundreds of voices. Benny Johnson talked of meetings with Trump. No one is covering this aspect.

Make it make sense?
"Make" and "sense" only have "e" in common. So you can't make "sense" out of "make".
And you can't make "sense" out of "it" at all.

"Potential for Abuse" is one of the ways drugs are categorized for legal purposes. The underlying assumption is that drugs cause addiction depending on their "abuse potential". This is not medically possible. Let me explain:
American Medical Schools teach addiction is a symptom of PTSD. Dr. Lonny Shavelson in his book "Heroin" said that 70% of female heroin addicts had been sexually abused in childhood.
Drugs fill receptors. What empties receptors (injury, PTSD) causes a desire for drugs. Drugs CAN'T cause addiction. Pass it on. (The DEA is currently selling 'Habituation" as 'addiction'. They are different. Detox fixes Habituation. It does not fix addiction.)
More simply: People in chronic pain chronically take pain relievers. Hard to believe, isn't it?
The drugs used depend on the level of pain, not the 'abuse potential'. There are more details on drugs and addiction at "Better Proof - The Government Is Lying About DRUGS".
Receptor theory is over 100 years old. I knew enough about endorphin receptors 50 years ago to write what I have currently written on the subject of receptors and 'addiction', had I just given it some thought.
The current method of classifying drugs "of abuse" for purposes of law is incorrect. Since drugs don't cause 'addiction' (pain does) drugs can't have an addiction potential. Or given the laws currently in effect the number is zero for ALL drugs.

It is why Blacks are flocking to Trump. The Lawfare they are victims of is Nixon's War On Blacks - the Nixon Drug War. It is one of the last vestiges of systemic racism still functioning.
"Look, we understood we couldn't make it illegal to be young or poor or black in the United States, but we could criminalize their common pleasure. We understood that drugs were not the health problem we were making them out to be, but it was such a perfect issue...that we couldn't resist it."- John Ehrlichman, White House counsel to President Nixon on the rationale of the War on Drugs.
"[Nixon] emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks" Haldeman, his Chief of Staff wrote, "The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to."- http://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/18/us/haldeman-diary-shows-nixon-was-wary-of-blacks-and-jews.html
