As a liberal, I support this.
Some people only care about being rescued from a burning building. I happen to care about something bigger than myself.
I'd rather burn to death knowing my fire department achieved equity than be rescued by one that didn't.
Austin is paying a firm $1.2 million to design its firefighter entrance exam so that black, Hispanics and women score better.
The contract orders the firm to use test sections that "reduce or eliminate disparate impact" on those three groups.
If those groups still score lower, the firm says it will recommend branding and "compensatory adjustments," among other things.
Federal law bans adjusting hiring test scores by race or sex. In 2009 the Supreme Court ruled that New Haven broke civil rights law when it threw out a firefighter exam because too few black candidates passed.
Welp. Power out all around #IndianLake here in Central Ohio. Been out for an hour and a half. No update from @AESOhio on when it may come back on. Using my car to charge phones and laptops. Should have gotten one of those solar generators.

Get well soon, @ChrisMurphyCT. I do not wish any ill will to anyone, and hope he has a full and speedy recovery.

In Dearborn and Minneapolis, mosques can legally blast the adhan over outdoor speakers five times a day. If a Christian church tried to blast a sermon the same way, the lawsuits and “separation of church and state” crowd would arrive immediately. Why is it different?
This man gets it.
Well, another Cardinal has come out with a, shall we say, puzzling take on evangelization.
A few years ago, Cardinal Américo Aguiar, at the time auxiliary bishop of Lisbon, said that he and the other organizers of World Youth Day in his hometown had no interest in converting anyone to Christ.
Now Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algeria has opined that “the Church is not there to convert” and “Christians should approach other religions through fraternity rather than seeking conversions.”
Excuse me, but…what?
Last time I checked, the Founder said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Sure sounds like conversion to me.
When St. Paul came to Corinth or Athens or Thessalonica, his purpose was not to listen or to form a discussion group but rather to declare an unnerving message: the euangelion (glad tidings) that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.
So impassioned is he for this work that he says, “I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:22); and “If I proclaim the gospel, this gives me no ground for boasting, for an obligation is laid on me, and woe to me if I do not proclaim the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16)!
Moreover, the entire thrust of the Second Vatican Council was toward bringing the Light of Christ to the peoples of the world (Lumen Gentium). And this missionary élan has given rise in the last few decades to the idea of a “new evangelization,” which is to say, a fresh declaration of the Lordship of Christ.
Quite obviously, no one thinks that this work of evangelization should be done in a brow-beating, overbearing, or disrespectful manner (proselytization), but for God’s sake, let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If I really thought that the Church does not exist to bring people to Christ, then I would resign and get an honest job.

Two Aggies were going down the highway. They were all hyped up about the game they were going to see. Up ahead, they saw a sign that read "Houston - left." Feeling depressed, they turned their Prius around and went home.

Was just sitting here thinking about stuff. Like: Donald's a duck, Mickey's a mouse and Pluto is a dog. What the hell is Goofy?
Just some serious contemplating going on here. Happy Monday, y'all.

Say her real name: Ilhan Nur Said Elmi
Her name is not Ilhan Omar. She is not an American citizen.
She should not be in Congress.
She should be arrested and deported back to Somalia.

The only world leaders hurting the people in Ukraine are Putin and Zelensky. Nothing happening there is Trump's fault.
Steven Stone retweeted
Putin annexed the Crimea during the Obama administration. He launched the war and won the Donbas during the Biden administration.
American voters VOTED to stop sending aid to Ukraine because we couldn't afford it and its none of our business.
Trump is doing exactly what we elected him to do; DIPLOMACY.
Just because you don't like that we're not sending free money from our treasury doesn't mean he isn't doing his job.
Btw, you don't get to tell AMERICANS what to do with OUR MONEY, Little Miss Europe.
Why don't you mind your own business and do something about all of the Muslim rape gangs in your countries?
