Texas’s Efforts to Deny That Islam Is Even a Religion Will Jeopardize All Faiths

by Asma Uddin
“The Texas campaign is not simply discrimination against Muslims; more fundamentally, it is a demonstration of a mechanism that, once normalized, threatens the religious liberty of every American. Put simply: Once Texan officials or any other anti-Muslim agitator hands government a power liberal constitutionalism was built to deny—the power to decide which religion counts as ‘religion’—that power can be used against Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion.” (09/02/26)

Iranian missiles, drones strike Kuwait

“Iran fired at Kuwait Thursday, continuing its retaliation for U.S. bombardments earlier in the week. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to unite Israel’s right wing before elections this October. … Sirens sounded in Kuwait early Thursday, where air defenses intercepted missile and drone attacks during a ‘blatant Iranian aggression,’ the country’s Ministry of Defense said on X. It came after U.S. allies Bahrain and Jordan said their air defense systems intercepted several Iranian air attacks Wednesday.” (09/03/26)
Tyranny by Technicality: The Supreme Court Will Not Save Our Republic

by John & Nisha Whitehead
“For years, we have been warning that the U.S. Supreme Court would not save us from the American police state. That warning has not grown less urgent. It has simply become more complicated. The danger today is not merely that courts will favor order and procedure over freedom. It is that by the time justice makes an appearance, it will arrive so narrowly, so procedurally and so late that the government will already have prevailed. …The building is already gone. The troops are already deployed. The surveillance system is already operating. The people are already detained. The agency is already dismantled. The data is already collected. The war is already underway. And whatever constitutional principle eventually emerges from the litigation arrives too late to undo the damage.” (09/02/26)

US House rejects GOP constitutional amendment to limit SCOTUS to nine justices
Source: CBS News
“A Republican-proposed constitutional amendment to limit the Supreme Court to nine justices failed in the House on Wednesday, coming up well short of the two-thirds majority support needed for adoption. The House voted 212 to 206 on a joint resolution to approve the amendment, which was proposed by GOP Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona. The amendment would require that ‘the Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine justices consisting of one chief justice and eight associate justices.’ … Amending the Constitution requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate and then ratification by three-fourths of the states. It’s the latest vote this week that Republicans are using to target the positions of the Democratic Socialists of America as several candidates who embrace its positions are poised to become members of Congress next year. On Tuesday, the House adopted a resolution condemning socialism ‘in all its forms.'” (09/03/26)

The Definition of Insanity

by Ron Paul
“Albert Einstein is credited with saying, ‘the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’ Whether he actually said it or not, the definition stands. This definition also very well describes the Trump Administration’s war with Iran. According to media reports, President Trump was cajoled by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that this would be an ‘easy war,’ like Venezuela. Just assassinate the Iranian leadership, he promised, and the regime change would bring in a pro-America regime in Iran. The CIA disagreed with the assessment, but Trump went with Netanyahu and the rest is history.” (09/02/26)

Putin floats “chance” at peace with Ukraine as NATO chief warns Russia is becoming “increasingly reckless”
Source: CNBC
“Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested Thursday that there is a ‘chance’ at ‘peace’ with Ukraine, but said Kyiv’s warnings to airlines to avoid Russian airspace amounted to ‘state terrorism.’ ‘Ultimately…the problem must be resolved by the countries involved in the conflict – Russia and Ukraine,’ he said in translated remarks at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, a city in Eastern Russia. ‘Is there a chance [at peace]? In my view, yes, there is.’ It comes after NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Wednesday said Russia is becoming ‘increasingly reckless,’ citing missiles and drones crossing Europe’s eastern flank, and an alleged Russian hybrid attack at Germany’s Leipzig airport last month.” (09/03/26)

“I don’t want or need to be governed, but I still want a few of the things people claim government does or provides. The difference is, I want these things provided voluntarily, without taxation or other forms of coercion. If something isn’t essential enough for people to chip in and fund, it needs to go away. Forever, or until enough people decide to pay for it without being forced.” (09/02/26)
