    Is it that hard to move across the state line if you want to **** your cousin? It is legal in most states. Even legal to marry them in about half the states. One would hope that isn't a large base in Kentucky

    Legally and biologically there is a huge difference b/t First Cousins and Third Cousins.

    One is Incest (and all that that entails) and the other is genetically nothing (but still weird as hell)

    In looking up the laws elsewhere, I found out NC only bans marriage between double first cousins. :confused:

    I think JJ's message here is that we all should just stay home and **** our cousins.

    They are not serious about passing meaningful legislation as they would rather listen to their puppet master and do his bidding.

    Johnson appears to be trying to walk a fine line of appeasing Trump and the extremists in his party while not allowing the government to collapse.

    How can JD Vance let real (and I mean REAL) Christians be prosecuted like this? Just unacceptable prosecution discretion.

    Ohio pastor criminally charged for opening his church to the unhoused (jsonline.com)

    As folks freeze to death in Milwaukee, Ohio pastor charged for offering shelter | Opinion
    In some ways, Avell was trying to prevent what happened in Milwaukee – people dying on the street in the cold
    [​IMG]James E. Causey
    Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

    Whose responsibility is it to protect the unhoused when it’s freezing outside?

    The city? The state? Homeless shelters? The church?

    Hold that thought for a minute.

    Winter is officially here with back-breaking, heavy, wet snow and a surge of arctic air. Temps in Milwaukee are not expected to rise to the low double-digits until Wednesday. Some people are still without power from last week's snowstorm

    The unhoused become more vulnerable when wind chills are in the single digits. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday it was investigating three possible hypothermia deaths, including:

    • A 64-year-old man was pronounced dead at 1:40 p.m. Friday near South 5th Street and West Layton Avenue under a bridge.
    • A 69-year-old man was pronounced dead at 1:25 p.m. Saturday near North 35th and West Hadley streets after being found in a vehicle that he used for shelter.
    • A 40-year-old man was pronounced dead at 9:56 a.m. Monday near West Woolworth Avenue and North Sherman Boulevard.
    I’ve always wondered why more churches don’t open doors to the unhoused to sleep or warm up when the weather gets dangerously cold. It's the God-like thing to do, right?

    With wind chill plunging:It's hard not to see cruelty in GOP homeless bill

    Maybe more don't because of cases like the Ohio pastor, who opened his church doors because the homeless shelters were packed, only to be issued 18 zoning law violations related to keeping his church open to people who needed a warm place to sleep.

    As wind chills fall, his call is to worship God and care for others
    Chris Avell, pastor of Dad's Place in Bryan, Ohio, was arraigned in court last Thursday because he kept his church open 24/7 to provide warmth to the unhoused.

    Ohio law prohibits residential use in first-floor buildings in a business district. Since the church is zoned as a Central Business, the building is restricted from allowing people to eat or sleep on the property.

    “This is how I worship my God, and I just want to be able to worship my God,” Avell said.

    According to the city, Avell was sent a letter on Nov. 3 informing him the homeless were prohibited from sleeping at the church overnight. Avell ignored the letter, and during a New Year’s Eve service, police arrived and issued violations.

    “Many of these people have been rejected by their families and cast aside by their communities. So, if the church isn’t willing to lay down its life for them, then who will? This is what we’re called to do,” Avell said in a Fox News interview.

    Jeremy Dys, Avell’s attorney, called the city’s actions “unconscionable.”

    “The city would rather kick these folks to the curb in the cold outdoor months of December and early January than allow the church to remain open 24/7 to those who need it the most,” Dys said.

    In some ways, Avell was trying to prevent what happened in Milwaukee – people dying on the street in the cold.

    Homeless shelters fill up this time of the year as people seek refuge from the bitter cold. While shelters do their best to ensure no one ends up in the cold, people often get frustrated and tough it out on the street.

    Avell saw a problem. He addressed the issue by helping 100 people and is now facing criminal charges.

    Does this sound right to anyone?
