Remember what we talked about the clay and the seal? This is obvious symbolic language. The earth is not made of clay and God did not stamp the earth with a seal. He did not clothed the earth in a garment. The clay symbolism is again seen in Romans 9 where God is symbolically a potter molding his clay to how He wishes.

Please read the Bible identifying symbolic and poetic language as you read. We are here for you if you have questions. We are not going to lead you astray.

Trump just bragged about Walmart’s cheaper Thanksgiving dinner, but here’s what he conveniently left out​

A community note on X pointed out that this year’s meal featured fewer brand-name items and six fewer items overall. The Turkey cost nine cents more [per pound] compared to last year, and 2024 items like a [2 pound Marie Callender's] premade pie, cranberry sauce and onions were dropped entirely.

'Con job!' Trump snaps at reporter over fact check on his big Thanksgiving claim​

"Mr. President, since you brought up the Walmart Thanksgiving meal, and it is cheaper, but it also contains less," the reporter noted.

"Fake news!" Trump bellowed. "NBC, you're fake news! NBC's gone down the tubes along with most of the rest of them."

"So that would mean that the whole series of pricing and costs, you know, the groceries and everything else, it was a con job. It was a con job, affordability, they call it, was a con job by the Democrats."

1Th 2:16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins alway: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

GOD is not too happy with the Judeans.

Isn't he supposed to be more concerned about important issues like drag queens reading to kids and pet-eating Hatians?

I had similar struggles but with my old Navy buddies. Now there's the dynamic of having school age children. I'm about 10 years older than a lot of the parents of my younger daughter. On the occasion I do meet some parents who are about my age I tend to get along better with the mothers than the fathers. Most of the fathers are not very interesting people; all they want to talk about is work, sports, and maybe hunting. Then there's the true disaster situations that I've encountered once or twice where all the purported adults want to talk about is tattoos, weed and getting high.

In the German town of Overath (North Rhine-Westphalia), this year’s Christmas market has been cancelled. The cost of protecting visitors from potential terrorist attacks exceeds the organizer’s budget. The city refuses to cover the expenses. A capitulation to Islamism.

Former first lady Michelle Obama claimed during an interview this week on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" that she feels "lost" in President Donald Trump's America and mourned the loss of the East Wing.

Speaking during the 20-minute interviewon Tuesday that focused primarily on The Look — her new book about the various outfits she wore as first lady — Obama also lamented what she described as the loss of "standards and norms" under Trump's administration.

Contrasting it with the "sadness" and "problems" of the West Wing, where the president and his staff are headquartered, Michelle Obama said the East Wing was comparatively a place "where you felt light" and could find "children" and "puppies."

President Donald Trump has threatened New York City with a loss in federal funds if self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor of the nation’s largest city.

In a statement posted to Truth Social Monday, Trump described Mamdani as a “Communist” and warned that if elected, the mayoral candidate “is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City.” He stressed that “he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE communist promises.”

“He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him?” Trump asked, indicating that he plans to withhold federal funding from the city if Mamdani wins the election. “This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed!”

The state of Wisconsin is attempting to eliminate a tax exemption for religious organizations after it failed at the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year when trying to block a Catholic charity from claiming that tax break.

The Supreme Court in June unanimously ruled that the state violated the First Amendment when it denied a tax exemption to the Diocese of Superior’s Catholic Charities Bureau. The state had argued that the group’s charitable undertakings were not “primarily” religious and thus failed to qualify for the tax break.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court had earlier ruled against the Catholic charity before the U.S. Supreme Court reversed that decision. But in an Oct. 21 press release, the religious liberty legal group Becket said that the state government is now asking the state Supreme Court to “eliminate the exemption entirely.”

“Rather than following the Supreme Court’s ruling, Wisconsin officials are now trying to avoid it by attacking the religious exemption itself,” the group said.

Sometimes it takes a malignant mind to fathom the motivations behind some of the progressive agenda. Catholic Charities is one of the largest charities in the world and support many programs that should make the Democrats in Wisconsin happy, like migrant outreach, day care, help for people with disabilities, and more. With the boom of non-profits that seem more about getting donations than solving social issues, it seems odd that the Wisconsin Supreme Court would vote to deny tax exempt status to an organization of volunteers with one of the lowest administrative fees for support given. This is where the malignant mind is needed. In the priorities of the progressive left, abortion is at the top. So any group that is against abortion and maybe even providing pregnancy outreach help is against the progressive agenda. The far left would rather kill babies in the womb than help alive people who need it.

It is true that many citizens, including affluent New Yorkers, have relocated from New York City for various reasons. However, this migration has not affected the city's GDP growth. Below are statistics detailing New York City's GDP growth since 2000.


The assertion that affluent individuals are leaving New York City and that the city is consequently facing challenges is a political talking point; it does not accurately represent the current situation.

Except for the innocent. He's inventing charges against them because they hurt his ego.

I think Trump put his finger on the problem.
"If you let everyone vote, no republican would ever be elected again."

That's an exaggeration, but there's some truth in it. Without Gerrymandering, republicans would be in a rough place. However, as probison wrote, there's plenty of support among Americans for ending this corrupt practice:

Large majorities of Americans say gerrymandering is a major problem, unfair, and should be illegal ​

Supreme Court has endorsed corruption, but Congress could pass a law prohibiting it.

Important people must earn respect.

His change in tone (going from alarmist-adjacent, to "it'll be fine, let's just take a deep breath") certainly didn't manifest out of thin air.

He put out this memo in the short lead-up to the COP30 summit.

That summit is being hosted in Brazil (a BRICS nation), and it's been speculated for quite some time that the BRICS/BRICS+ nations will be making some moves, and agenda setting and the strategizing of BRICS financing frameworks are supposed to be a huge part of that summit.

When you look at the roster of BRICS/BRICS+ nations...it's the who's who of the "oil rich" and "oil reliant".

For a refresher, the BRICS+ roster includes:
Brazil
Russia
India
China
South Africa
Iran
UAE
Egypt
Saudi Arabia

(goes without saying, eliminating fossil fuels isn't as high on their priority list as it is for western countries)

And the purpose of it was to create an economic alliance and financial power structure to compete as an alternative to "western-dominated" global economics.

Like any businessman, I would imagine Gates is toning down the eco rhetoric a bit into a more "BRICS-friendly" version of messaging in order to make sure he's covered regardless of which side wins. (the same way the tech giants got a lot more friendly with Trump once they realized that there was a solid chance he was going to win 2024)

I imagine he won't be the last high profile person, who was "die hard environmentalist" before, to reign it in a little.

The four dead men included a fisherman, a down-on-his-luck bus driver, a former military cadet and a local crime boss.


The 42-year-old [fisherman] was considered among the peninsula’s best pilots, [and] wanted to save enough money to buy a 75-horsepower boat engine so he could operate his own [fishing] boat and not work for others.

The Bavarian city of Regensburg has withdrawn restrictions banning prayer vigils near an abortion clinic following court rulings that found the buffer zone violated constitutional freedoms, according to a report by CNA Deutsch, CNA’s German-language news partner.

The Bavarian city lifted its 100-meter (328-foot) exclusion zone around abortion facilities on Oct. 24 after suffering setbacks before both the Regensburg Administrative Court and the Bavarian Administrative Court, according to a Nov. 6 press release from the international human rights organization.

The city established the buffer zone in summer 2025, effectively prohibiting prayer vigils held by the group Helpers for God’s Precious Children Germany in the immediate vicinity of the clinics, CNA Deutsch reported Nov. 7.
