Some things are within our power, while others are not. Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office, and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing. The things that are within our power are by nature free, and immune to hindrance and obstruction, while those that are not within our power are weak, slavish, subject to hindrance, and not our own. Remember, then, that if you regard that which is by nature slavish as being free, and that which is not your own as being your own, you’ll have cause to lament, you’ll have a troubled mind, and you’ll find fault with both gods and human beings; but if you regard only that which is your own as being your own, and that which isn’t your own as not being your own (as is indeed the case), no one will ever be able to coerce you, no one will hinder you, you’ll find fault with no one, you’ll accuse no one, you’ll do nothing whatever against your will, you’ll have no enemy, and no one will ever harm you because no harm can affect you.

Since you’re aiming, then, at such great things, remember that you’ll have to exert no small effort to attain them, and that you’ll have to renounce some things altogether, while postponing others for the present. But if you want to have both these things and public office and riches too, you’ll quite possibly not even gain the latter because you’re aiming at the former too, and you’ll certainly fail to get the former, through which alone happiness and freedom can be secured.

Practise, then, from the very beginning to say to every disagreeable impression, ‘You’re an impression and not at all what you appear to be.’ Then examine it and test it by these rules that you possess, and first and foremost by this one, whether the impression relates to those things that are within our power, or those that aren’t within our power; and if it relates to anything that isn’t within our power, be ready to reply, ‘That’s nothing to me.’

-Epictetus, Handbook, I

Remember that desire promises the attaining of what you desire, and aversion the avoiding of what you want to avoid, and that he who falls into desire is unfortunate, while he who falls into what he wants to avoid suffers misfortune. If you seek to avoid, then, only what is contrary to nature among those things that are within your own power, you’ll never fall into anything that you want to avoid; but if you attempt to avoid illness, or death, or poverty, you’ll suffer misfortune. Remove your aversion, then, from everything that is not within our power, and transfer it to what is contrary to nature among those things that are within our power. For the present, however, suppress your desires entirely; for if you desire any of the things that are not within our power, you’re bound to be unfortunate, while those that are within our power, which it would be right for you to desire, aren’t yet within your reach. But use only your motives to act or not to act, and even those lightly, with reservations and without straining.

- Ibid, II

It isn’t the things themselves that disturb people, but the judgements that they form about them. Death, for instance, is nothing terrible, or else it would have seemed so to Socrates too; no, it is in the judgement that death is terrible that the terror lies. So accordingly, whenever we’re impeded, disturbed, or distressed, we should never blame anyone else, but only ourselves, that is to say, our judgements. It is the act of an ill-educated person to cast blame on others when things are going badly for him; one who has taken the first step towards becoming properly educated casts blame on himself; while one who is fully educated casts blame neither on another nor on himself.

- Ibid, V

Don’t seek that all that comes about should come about as you wish, but wish that everything that comes about should come about just as it does, and then you’ll have a calm and happy life.

- Ibid, VIII

Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.

This may be a helpful listen (There are two other parts to the audio). The spirit of "Revolution" has long been deconstructing the world, in that sense what was portrayed of late at the Olympic opening is not all that shocking. Not because it is not blasphemous, it is, but because it is indeed part of the continuous and evolving deconstruction that the spirit of revolution is working in the world. It is ever seeking to establish a "new" religious consciousness in people. Imagery plays a very big role in that. It is helpful to have some understanding and be aware. Yet, let us never forget that Christ Jesus conquers. The spirit of the age is working for this fading age, and ends in slavery. The Kingdom of Christ Jesus is eternal and everlasting and truly free. Let us never forget where our citizenship is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXe2x9r9Yyc

Claims like this are apparently going around in online conservative circles right now. The argument being made here is that Biden can't be president because he was sworn in before noon, which purportedly violates the 20th amendment.

Here's the important bit:

The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January ... and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

This is a very silly way to look at things.

Firstly, the 20th amendment says when the current president's term ends. It says nothing about how this relates to being sworn in; it does not say or imply that the president elect must be sworn in after the other's term has ended.

Furthermore, article 2 states that a president must be sworn in before they can be considered president. Given this, it actually makes logistical sense to try to get it done before noon. Why? If it happens later, then there's a gap where nobody is president, which seems good to avoid when possible.

Lastly-- -- -- the Constitution is a piece of paper, man. It doesn't actually do or guarantee anything. You don't actually have a right to speech or to bear arms or any of that stuff because the Constitution says so; if those in power decided "no more guns," that would be that, and no amount of complaining about the constitutionality of it would affect anything.

Politics makes people say things like this. Don't do politics.
