News Weakly - 2/1/2025

NIMBY
What a bizarre story! So, Trump starts deporting illegal immigrants back to their home countries ("repatriation"). You know, "NIMBY" -- Not In My Back Yard. Columbia refuses to accept them. So Trump retaliates with a 25% tariff increase on Columbian goods. And Columbia says, "Oh, wait, we have a failure to communicate. We thought NIMBY meant 'Now In My Back Yard.' By all means, bring them. In fact, we'll fly them ourselves." Or ... something like that.

A Different Authority
Quakers are suing the government because the latest ICE policy won't let them shelter illegal aliens in their churches. Now, I find this odd, given Rom 13:1 and 1 Peter 2:13-14. But, I suppose, these Quakers may not care what God says on the matter. Maybe they are their own authority. "Bible? We don't need no stinkin' Bible."

It Figures
After the catastrophic fire losses in southern California, they're considering letting people sue the oil and gas companies for damages. It was, after all, climate change that caused it ... right? Climate change is only caused by oil and gas companies ... right? And, of course, California's bad management had nothing to do with it ... right? California has always been a trendsetter ... especially in our burgeoning national insanity.

You Keep Using That Word
In the infinite wisdom of the nation of New Zealand, they have granted personhood ... to a mountain. So, a human being in the womb is not a person, but a piece of rock is. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Your Best Source for Fake News
I really enjoy the picture of Adam in the Garden of Eden wearing a t-shirt that says, "There is only one gender." That one went quite well with the report that the number of genders has hit a 10 year low. I'm afraid the Bee is too close to accurate when it tells of the preliminary report that the latest airline crash was the fault of the political party you don't like.

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.
