I know I have set an impossible bar for you to clear to back up your assertion that there is a historical basis for making Christianity mandatory in this country in direct opposition to the Establishment Clause. But Mr Paxton, that is what you must do to prove that the millions of children in your public schools who are not Christians should be forced to pretend that are.
Oh, he almost certainly knows that. He ALSO knows which side of the bread the butter goes, and in this case, it's the side with the Christian voters he wants to cootchie-coo.
Well, that's this week. When our Lord & Savior Dumbold J. Trump gets through gelding the Constitution we will have a new set of rules that will make America great again. Just you wait and see.
I'm pretty sure "the virtues and values that built this country" include thou shalt covet thy neighbor's house, wife, maidservant, manservant, ox, ass, and everything is that is thy neighbors'. I mean, that's capitalism right there.
On top of which, Paxton himself obviously thought it was a fine and good thing to covet his neighbors' wife.
Be careful around Paxton, though. He made an amicus curae brief in the famous Van Orden v Perry case in 2005, wherein the Supreme Court validated the placing of a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol. So, he's not as much of a legal push-over.

Which will have as little effect on Kenny as posting the 10Cs on classroom walls will have on children.
Maybe that's projection on my part but I grew up with the Ten Commandments posted all around me and I noticed something. The adults seemed to ignore all of them. They paid lip service but there was still killing, stealing, coveting, extramarital affairs, working on Sunday, etc. Everybody violated at least one or two. My conclusion, if adults didn't take them seriously then I needn't bother either.
A slight swerve, the Minister of Health in the UK has said, "So I would just say to people watching, donโt pay any attention whatsoever to what Donald Trump says about medicine. In fact, donโt even take my word for it, as a politician โ listen to British doctors, British scientists, the NHS".
Keep calling me woke, you Nazi monsters. You are telling me loud and clear how you are far to the wrong side of history. I often worried that I was not 'woke' enough but these Christian Nationalists show me that I am far more moral than they can ever be. Did I equate morality with 'woke'? Yep, and I'll wear woke as a badge of honor for the rest of my days.
As a parent, I think it is truly important to display the ten commandments in the classroom. If they don't post a piece of paper with fine print on a wall that my daughter only occasionally looks at, how else will she know that she isn't supposed to murder anyone? Last week the wind blew down the "Don't Pillage" banner, and before I knew it she rounded up about twenty if her friends and sacked the next town over. They burnt down the Old Navy store and salted the earth. So as a parent I am most deeply concerned.
The Boss turns 76 today. Happy Birthday to Bruce Springsteen. May he continue being a thorn in the side of Trump (or maybe a bunch of bone spurs in Trump's feet).
The people hell-bent on posting the Ten Commandments in the public schools cannot show even one objective benefit to it. They are the same people who would go out of their tiny little minds at the mere suggestion any religion other than their own be represented in the classrooms. It is NEVER the job of our secular government to backstop Christianity or any other religion, and the public schools are sub-divisions of government.
Me neither, I check sometime after 2 or 3 pm, depending on wich month we're in. We have something we call summertime clock in Norway. Don't ask me about it.
Exactly my approach. Hemant usually publishes around 9:02 or 9:03, and here I am at my desk, repainting the tab every so often until the new piece shows up.

Personally, I think this is the wrong way around. One should assume that everything he says is false, and only report on the bits that actually correspond to the facts.
Briefly, he wined that the UN isn't helping him to implement his foreign policy, he pushed to get the hostages back from Gaza, but said nothing about the humanitarian crisis there.
He threatened powerful tariffs on Russia (again, though we know it will be another TACO).
He said immigration into Europe was part of the globalist migration agenda and that "your countries are going to hell". He also apparently under the impression that London either is or is going to be under Sharia law (he really hates the mayor, who is a liberal Muslim).
There was a tirade against "windmills", and a claim that climate change was the greatest con job in history.
Itโs too disheartening to get into in any detail. He had a 15 minute time slot; he rambled for an hour. He harangued. He whined that no one was helping him broker peace deals.
* Post them in Aramaic and read them right to left
* Post an English translation of those commandments and watch as people scratch their heads over how to Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread, The Festival of Weeks and the Festival of the Ingathering (and wait until they see that last commandent about not boiling a kid goat in its mother's milk).
Guess what? Every single commandment of the real Ten Commandment violates the Constitution.
โFrom the beginning, the Ten Commandments have been irrevocably intertwined with Americaโs legal, moral, and historical heritage,โ said Attorney General Paxton."

From the beginning (of western European expansion), Texas was part of Mexico. Catholic, ya evangelical chumps. Saying the rosary is more historically Texan than the SBC.

One would thought that someone who graduated in law would know that.
Oh, he almost certainly knows that. He ALSO knows which side of the bread the butter goes, and in this case, it's the side with the Christian voters he wants to cootchie-coo.
Paxton is a corrupt ideologue and fanatic. He will go wherever the dollars and power are.
As a Christian, Paxton makes a compelling case for atheism.
They are pretty lax at Cracker Jack U.
He has a law degree? Is this another JD Vance moment.
So did Roy Cohn, and he was even more evil than Paxton.
Even nuttier: Trump has a degree in economics!
That's a tall order considering eight of the Commandments would be unconstitutional if anyone tried writing them into law.
Well, that's this week. When our Lord & Savior Dumbold J. Trump gets through gelding the Constitution we will have a new set of rules that will make America great again. Just you wait and see.
They'll be ready in two weeks.

OK--but proper translation: slaves, not maid- and manservants. Fuck the 13th Amendment.

You even asked nicely.
I propose a law that says the First Amendment and Article VI be posted in Paxton's office.
Which will have as little effect on Kenny as posting the 10Cs on classroom walls will have on children.

Every Christian pastor works on Sunday. If they can't keep the commandments, why should we?
Technically, the sabbath is Saturday.
Sort of. Friday evening to Saturday evening. ๐
Says who? I know about all of the diligence applied to this idea, but who says so. Rascal doesn't.
In Judaism, the Shabbat/Sabbath (the Jewish day of rest) is from sundown on Friday evening to nightfall on Saturday.
(Hey, I don't makes da rulez, I just prints 'em) ๐
If you go to quartier du Temple, Paris, a Friday at 3:30 pm you can tell the shops owned by Jews from those that aren't.
Actually, now that you mention it, they seem to view it as a "to-do"list.
Who are you going to listen to -- judges or Christian nationalist serial adulterer Ken Paxton?
Paxton is corrupt and evil. Perfect fit for the NatCs.
"Who are you going to listen to"

Why is your daughter in school???
I would keep her at home, but I am afraid.
You just have to get rid of any sharp and breakable objects, and to chain her at night and every time you leave the house.
Shopping her around.
I hope they sack the Goodwill store next time just for ironic effect.
Adultery is nonexistent in kindergarten classes that post the 10Cs. Clearly, it works.
I'm pretty sure murder is exceedingly rare as well. At least among the students.

I'm a bit confused, maybe you fine people can help me.

An article that fact checks his claims - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/23/trump-un-speech-fact-check-claims
Personally, I think this is the wrong way around. One should assume that everything he says is false, and only report on the bits that actually correspond to the facts.
That would leave nothing to write about.
His name, while what pass as his brain conserve a semblant of normalcy.
Over 30,000 documented lies during his first term.
It would be a far shorter list.
Yes, you are correct. If his mouth is flapping, he is lying.

Put up the 10 C? Sure. But do it right.
