You still don't get the plagiarism thing, do you?

"There is a clear public interest in limiting the damage done to children by an ideological mania and superstitious moral panic that says our children are somehow born into the wrong bodies" is a direct quote from the National Review and should be credited. 

On the other hand, nobody here thinks you write well enough to come up with such wording.
Did you understand the sentence you quoted?
  I understand it just fine and would be happy to discuss it with an individual smart enough to write it.  Not somebody dumb enough to steal it.
I suggest you figure out a way save yourself undue stress and angst.
I am not changing my posting habits.

That you're a thief causes me no stress nor angst.  Just don't expect me to debate with you over your purloined goods.

No loss. Your idea of debating is changing the subject of a debate to irrelevance.
That is what Nihilists always attempt.

We can take that as racist red copping to his endless thieving.

I think the case is closed now, though the dirty culprit is unlikely to reform his pitiful disgraceful ways.

I'm happy to debate an issue with somebody smart enough to do more than cut and paste it.  You're not that person.

Any debating you would be tantamount to enabling your thievery.   I simply won't do that.

Your utter lack of self knowledge is truly stunning.

For some reason I always heard that third line as "Where Mobius still runs crack", which I had a hard time orienting to.

Another day, another tornado bringing death and destruction to Texas.
Trouble with being President for only 4 year terms...you never get time to actually do anything much.
Even if a President tried to implement a scheme to stop loss of life in tornadoes, by the time anything was discussed the 4 years would be up an the President maybe not President anymore.

"Trump's wall" is a perfect example.

And for those who have not seen it, for a 72 year old movie Ace in the Hole is a depressingly relevant and continuingly insightful movie. Billy Wilder was and remains the greatest screenwriter of all time, and my favorite director.

I think Chuck Tatem did his usual good job covering the Titan submarine incident. Pity he was too busy covering the tragic deaths of five rich people to bother with the deaths of 300 impoverished Pakistanis. But then, they were just deportees.

What the attraction is to spend all that money to see a wrecked ship
on the bottom of the ocean is completely beyond me.  And the tragic lose
of life, what a horrible waste.
I have no doubt this will not put an end to these deep-water sight-seeing
trips.  No more than the joy-rides into space.  Space rescues is no doubt
a coming attractions and a thrilling way for billionaires to spend their money.
Yeah that adventure Queen Isabella financed was a bust?
