THE CURIOUS TALES: Researchers have found a child’s living cells inside mothers in their 90s, from pregnancies six decades old. The child left the womb. The cells didn’t. And they don’t just sit there. They migrate toward damage. Women with heart injuries show fetal cells concentrated at the wound site. Women with thyroid disease show their children’s cells inside the affected tissue.

The science of fetal microchimerism should have broken the internet by now. It hasn’t. When I read about a research I was so curious to know what’s actually happening. Fetal cells — carrying the child’s own DNA — cross into the mother’s bloodstream during pregnancy and never fully leave. They embed into her organs. Her heart muscle. Her brain tissue. Researchers have found a child’s living cells inside mothers in their 90s, from pregnancies six decades old. The child left the womb. The cells didn’t. And they don’t just sit there. They migrate toward damage. Women with heart injuries show fetal cells concentrated at the wound site. Women with thyroid disease show their children’s cells inside the affected tissue. The body that built the child gets tended to, in return, by the child’s own cells. Nobody designed this consciously. Evolution quietly built a repair system out of the mother-child bond itself. The brain side of this is equally staggering. Pregnancy triggers gray matter reorganization — a structural rewiring that sharpens threat detection, deepens empathy, fundamentally alters how a mother processes the world. These changes persist for years after birth. Possibly permanently. A mother’s nervous system doesn’t return to its factory settings. It was updated by the experience of carrying another person, and that update sticks. The part worth sitting with longest — women who experienced pregnancy loss carry fetal cells too. The cellular merging doesn’t require a birth. It doesn’t require years of raising someone. Those cells remain regardless of what happened after. A mother grieving a child she never brought home is grieving someone biologically still present inside her. The world consistently underestimates that grief. The science says we have no business doing that. Mothers always knew the connection didn’t end at birth.

Turns out it doesn’t end at the cellular level either. 

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS: The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens.

In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years. 1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state. 2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state. 3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens.

However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity". 

So, too, should we charge a reasonable penalty for illegal immigrants, but one that doesn't require them to return to their home country.

This is obviously an insane take.  Just apply this to your own home.  If someone breaks into your home, can you remove them?  Should you remove them?  Do you have the authority?  Is it right to remove them, or do you just say, "Well, all right, you broke in.  Pay me a small fee and you can stay." Well that applies for National home too. 

There are 8 billion people on the planet there's only 300 million Americans if we allow anyone to come in who wants to come in to sack and loot and pirate are resources and then stay America has been obliterated as a coherent Society.

I want to go back to the quote he's chose, Leviticus, 19:34 because he uses a very specific term, sojourn.  This was also used by the way by the men who drafted and debated and ratified the 14th Amendment Birthright citizenship clause in the Constitution.  And they talked about sojourners, travelers, transient visitors, as not being subject to the exclusive political jurisdiction of the US, and therefore not qualifying for Birthright citizenship.  It's a very important term because a Sojourner is someone who's lawfully present they're lawfully transiting through your country for a brief period of time with the intent and expectation of returning to their home nation when they're travels are done they're not permanent residents they're not trying to become citizens as this account notes love the stranger is the wrong emphasis.  It's a Sojourner and by the way as a Sojourner a requirement of being a lawful Traveler is that you're not an outlaw you're not a lawless Traveler when you're in our national home you're required to obey all the laws the natives have to obey.  You don't get to come here and violate the laws and qualify as a lawfully present Sojourner then you're just an invader as this account notes a Sojourner doesn't get the special privilege of staying and ignoring the laws stay and obey the law or be ejected in the 14th Amendment debate Congress explicitly relied on scripture, Leviticus 18:26-30.  

Let's look at some of these other tabs.  Another portion of Leviticus, a requirement for the Sojourner to be treated like ourselves.  But you shall keep my statutes in my rules and do none of these Abominations of your own culture either the native or The Stranger sojourns among you bless the land vomit you out when you make it unclean for everyone who does any of these Abominations from among their people.

J. MICHAEL WALLER: As much as 90% of Iran’s oil experts went to 🇨🇳. The ChiComs bought the sanctioned oil at a steep discount. Loss of that discounted oil, on top of the loss of Venezuela’s discounted oil, will place massive internal pressures on the Chinese Communist Party.

Peter St Onge writes, 

Apparently China buys "over 90%" of Iran's oil exports. China was buying nearly 70% of Venezuela's.

Neither were being paid in dollars.
