When I first heard the term "anti-hero," it referred to Clint Eastwood's spaghetti Western role as "The Man with no Name." The classic 20th-century notion of the anti-hero was a protagonist who lacks traditional heroic qualities like cheerfulness, idealism, or respect for authority, but still fights for a cause we generally approve of, often using violent or morally ambiguous means. The 20th century anti-hero was someone who is rough, cynical, often violent, and may lack charm or idealism, but still fights for justice (in his own way), opposes clear villains, and ultimately restores some moral order. The Man with No Name and Paul Kersey ("Death Wish") are two examples. John Wayne is an example who was a conventional hero in some moves (like "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"), but was a 20th century anti-hero in "The Shootist."

But I detect the definition of "anti-hero" has changed in this century. Characters I'd call "villains" are called "anti-heroes" today. They don't fight for justice or restore moral order. They essentially just fight for themselves. These characters may be charismatic, but they break moral laws routinely, they often do more harm than good, and they aren’t put on a redemption arc. Examples of this new kind of anti-hero include Tony Soprano ("The Sopranos"), Walter White ("Breaking Bad"), Tommy Shelby ("Peaky Blinders") and Riri Williams ("Ironheart").

From the traditional viewpoint, the only difference between the modern anti-hero and a villain is that the modern anti-hero is the central character, and the narrative is told from that perspective. I've seen debates in which people argue that this modern anti-hero should, in fact, be regarded as a true hero who is merely misunderstood or has been mistreated by the society of the story.

I think this shift from the classic hero to the modern anti-hero (like Walter White or Tony Soprano) says a lot about how society views itself.

A lot of Democrats are puzzled as to why their approval rating is down in the polls.

Unfortunately they cannot be criminally charged, but they can be fined $500 a day. It should come out of their own pockets.

PSALM 23: "A verse-by-verse understanding" (part 6)

VS 6: "GOODNESS AND GRACE WILL PURSUE ME EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE, AND I WILL LIVE IN THE HOUSE OF ADONAI FOR YEARS TO COME" CJSB
(Complete Jewish Study Bible)

"SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF YHVH FOREVER" KJV
(King James Version)

As we come to the end of this Psalm, composed by King David, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We see the emphasis on "goodness and grace"
"Chesed" (covenant grace) and all that is "good" following us and being a part of our lives. Even though there are valleys and dark times in our lives, there will always be times of "goodness and grace". Grace is something that is given to us that we don't deserve. We deserve "Hell" and be separated from God because of our sin. But the "grace of God" is salvation through Jesus Christ, "Yeshua HaMashiach." This is the "goodness" that God has given us. In Hebrew, it is simply the word "Tov" (meaning "good"). Therefore, the Hebrew reads, "good and grace." When we navigate the "valleys of dark shadows and impending death," we can think of "goodness and grace."

We will live in the "House of Adonai" forever. That is the maximum expression of "goodness and grace." When all is said and done on Earth. When our bones creak, and the skin wrinkles, and when the hearts beat their final beats, we will leave behind this world and be ushered into the World to Come. We will pass over into future eternity, where time has no essence, sort of speaking. The New Jerusalem, the Kingdom of God will be our future home. and someday, it will come down to sit on a "New Earth". God's House is our house. We are sons and daughters of the Most High God "YHVH" and as sons and daughters, we receive the inheritance of our "Heavenly Father." So, I think we can put up with all the "stuff" that goes on in this world. When we get "down and out," just think of God's "good and grace" that will follow us here and into the hereafter.

Thank you for reading. I hope you have a better understanding of Psalm 23 now.

“Following the compelling case outlined by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, which exposed clear and blatant weaponization by corrupt intelligence officials acting at the behest of the Democrat Party and likely former President Obama, the Administration remains committed to conducting a thorough investigation,” said White House spokesman Harrison Fields.
“This effort aims to provide the American people with the truth about the extent to which former government officials worked to sabotage the Trump administration and undermine the will of the American people in a clear attempt to subvert our Constitutional Republic.”

This is the correct path, it's time to put everything out into the open.

In context, this is speaking of God’s judgments against his people Israel, of the Old Covenant, for all their wickedness whereby they had forsaken the Lord and they had offered sacrifices to other gods, and they had worshiped the works of their own hands. But translated to today, this could well be speaking of the adulterous and idolatrous church who have rebelled against the Lord, and against the teachings of the Scriptures, and who have become like the world in order to attract the people of world to their gatherings.

And this could well be speaking to the servants of the Lord today, who speak his truths from the Scriptures, and not the lies which are spreading so rapidly. For I believe the Lord is calling his servants, witnesses, and messengers to speak boldly to the people the truth of the message of the gospel of our salvation and to refute the lies of the enemy which are leading so many people to follow a false god and a false christ and a false gospel patterned after the desires of human flesh and not after God’s holiness.

And we must be bold (still loving) and determined (committed) to speak the truth and to refute the lies, even at the cost of being hated, rejected, falsely accused, disdained, mistreated, ignored, cast away, persecuted, abandoned, and ridiculed for teaching the truth of God’s word, including even being threatened with death if we do not stop speaking the truth of God’s word. I personally was threatened with death twice for speaking the truth of what the Scriptures teach about the Jewish nation which rejects Jesus Christ.

Since the lies are what are so popularized today among so many people who profess faith in Jesus Christ, and since the truth is largely what is being cast aside and rebuked and trashed, if we are the people of God who are spreading the truth of God’s word, we are also going to be trashed, rebuked, cast aside, and treated like we are the enemy by people who deny the truth of the Scriptures in favor of a half-truth twisted and distorted false version of the gospel which pacifies human flesh and will not put sin to death.

So, this is not an assignment of God for the faint-hearted, the vulnerable, the weak, and the easily persuaded. We must be like Isaiah who have “set our face like flint” (Isaiah 50:7) with unwavering resolve, determination, and steadfast commitment to obey the Lord and to speak the truth of God’s word even in the face of all opposition and even threats against our lives. We must be so committed to the truth, and to speaking the truth, that we will be willing to have the whole world hate and reject us, if it comes to that.

Why? Because we love God, we believe God, and we believe the Word of God. And we care about the souls of other humans, but not just their souls, but we care about them as people, and we want to see them come to know God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – in all his fulness, and in all his truth and righteousness, and to be set free from their slavery to sin so that they can now serve the Lord with their lives in walks of surrender to the will of God, in walks of obedience to his commands, for the salvation of lives.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Should I Not Preach Jesus

Based off 1 Corinthians 9:16-10:13

Woe to me should I not preach Jesus.
I’m compelled to preach the full gospel.
I make myself a slave to ev’ryone
To win their hearts to Christ.
All this I do for my Lord Jesus,
And for the sake of His Name;
Do it for the sake of His gospel,
So that I, its blessings gain.

Scripture notates the sins of others;
Written down for us as examples
To keep us from setting our hearts
On evil as did those of old.
Do not worship other gods of man;
Do not give your hearts to them;
Not partake in immorality.
Do not test your Lord and King.

So, be careful if you think you are
Standing firm in your faith in Jesus.
God has given his word to warn us,
So through faith we will not fall.
No temptation has o’ertaken you
Except what is commonplace.
God is faithful to not let you be
Tempted past what you can bear.
He gives the way of escape.

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

In a previous thread of mine (More Proof of a Post-Tribulation Rapture [Post #1]) I not only demonstrated how the seventh trumpet and bowl are concurrent events, but I also used that information to prove that the rapture of believers takes place at the end of The Great Tribulation--when Jesus returns! While it was helpful in piecing together some of the order of end-time events, I figured this connection wouldn't be complete unless I also demonstrated that the previous six trumpets and bowls are connected concurrently, as well.

With the previous thread having our baseline logic for connecting the seventh trumpet and bowl, it makes sense then that we should examine their previous counterparts with an open mind that they, too, may also be concurrent! It helps to view these visions side-by-side while examining their text, so below I created a table doing just that. Additionally, to make things easier, I even included some highlights for emphasis on important areas.

Here, we'll see that the red text shows us how these visions are connected, while the blue text highlights areas that seem contradictory.



Understandably, most people separate these judgements as being unrelated to one another due to the details highlighted in blue. But what if the blue text has a different purpose than just highlighting details that seem contradictory to each other when these visions are cross-analyzed?

If you look back at the fifth judgment in the series, we learn that when we line these visions up sequentially, the details of one are there to compliment the other. Which, in turn, creates a fuller picture to demonstrate what's happening. With this in mind, it would make sense then to determine that the reason why there is a difference of accounts between these visions is because it's there to emphasize a difference of perspective! This is the only logical reason as to why these visions would be concurrent yet expound on contrasting details.

But what perspective would that be, and what about the fact that the trumpets use the term "a third" to describe the effects of the plagues while the bowls describe their effect to the complete/full extent?

The answer to both of these questions can be found in Revelation 12:7–9,4a, which reads:

"Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down — that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him… Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth."

Here, we see that the term “a third” is used to describe the angels who followed Satan and fought against God’s divine will. So, with this in mind, when we see the same terminology used across the trumpets, what we’re being told is that these judgments are only affecting the wicked, while in contrast, God’s people are protected!

With this passage providing both biblical and logical reasoning as to how these visions are sequentially concurrent yet display signs that they're disjoint in nature, we learn that the trumpets show us the end-time plagues (i.e., God's wrath) from the perspective of the righteous, while the bowls show it to us from the perspective of the wicked.

As a result, we also learn that the bowls of God's wrath represent (or depict) God’s judgment on the wicked, while the trumpets represent (or depict) God’s divine protection for His people! Thus, keeping with scripture that states:

"For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Thessalonians 5:9

While I plan on making another thread that details what these plague will look like as they unfold, I'm not sure how long it will take before I will be able to get to that. But, if you're interested to know it right now, you can read about it in my article: The Great Tribulation and The Day of The Lord. Just scroll down to the ascending view of the trumpets and bowls, and you can start reading from there!

Watch the moment that the Cherry Elizabeth Vann, a lesbian, has been named the 15th Archbishop of Wales. She will continue to serve as the bishop of Monmouth, and will be enthroned in Newport Cathedral later this year. | Screengrab/ChurchinWales/Instagram

The Church in Wales has named a new Archbishop who is openly in a same-sex relationship, drawing sharp criticism from the rights group Christian Concern. The appointment has ignited a debate over the Anglican denomination’s commitment to traditional biblical teachings.

The Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann, 66, the bishop of Monmouth, was elected as the 15th archbishop of Wales, becoming the first woman and first lesbian to hold the post. She was chosen by an electoral college composed of clergy and lay members after two days of deliberations at St. Pierre church near Chepstow, accordingto The Telegraph.

Her biography on the Church in Wales' website states that she lives with her civil partner, Wendy, along with their two dogs.

Texas House Republicans unveil new congressional map that looks to pick up five GOP seats​

Extreme partisan gerrymanders not only bake in results, but also result in maps that are deeply unrepresentative. John Adams famously wrote in 1788 that the House of Representatives – and by extension state legislatures – should be a “exact portrait” and “miniature” of the people as a whole. That doesn’t happen when district boundaries are manipulated in this way.

Hi everyone. I'm not a new Christian. I've been a Christian since I was around 8 years old.
Today is my 24th wedding anniversary (25 together). I'm a mom to 3 young men (1in heaven) and Nano to 8 grandchildren with a granddaughter expected this December.
I'm a crafter and go to markets and trade days on the weekend selling the items I make.
I'm also a painter but I haven't painted anything in about a year. I'm severely ADHD and bipolar 2 and it interferes with every single aspect of my life.

Not sure why a market reaction to something gets labelled as a "meme stock rally" when it doesn't follow the pattern "experts" expected it to follow, but then is considered "evidence of a good product offering" when it does...

Even a "meme rally" around a stock gives an insight into where society's heads are at on certain matters.

Donald Trump's CIA Director John Ratcliffe suggested that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other top Obama aides could be hit with perjury charges.
Ratcliffe said that Obama officials involved with the 'Russia hoax' - the debunked narrative that Russia interfered with the 2016 election on behalf of Donald Trump's campaign - could be prosecuted.

'Are those statute of limitations still live?' Fox Business host Bartiromo asked Ratcliffe. 'Tell me if, in fact, we could see a criminal prosecution here.'...

I suppose we have some birdcages here that need lining.

Recently I have been investigating Lutheranism as someone coming out of the RCC and currently attending a Southern Baptist Church. The differences between the RCC and SBC are vast. I believe the Gospel is a simple message of having faith in Christ’s work on the cross to be saved. However, one hang up for me is the purely symbolic view of Baptism and the Eucharist in the SBC. I understand the arguments from both sides but having accepted the RC and, what I think was the Early Church view for so long I feel as though I am missing out in the SBC with their symbolic view and because they only offer Communion once a quarter.

This leads me to where I am currently, investigating Lutheranism pretty heavily. I agree with almost all of the Lutheran theology I have learned thus far and find it to be most aligned with what I think scripture reveals. Except with regards to free will and predestination. I have always leaned Arminian if I had to put a label on it. From my understanding, Lutherans teach that human beings have nothing to do with their salvation, that God provides this faith to them and they have no choice in it except the ability to reject this faith and walk away. I understand the overall doctrine is considered a paradox. What bugs me and holds me back from going further into Lutheranism, is that when in the New Testament, someone asks what they must do to be saved, such as Acts 16:30-31, the answer is “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” which to me is clearly implying that we have to choose to believe and we have a responsibility to accept or reject the Gospel message. The New Testament seems to time and time again, point to human free will in the process of salvation.

Would it be accurate to say, in Lutheran thought, that God works towards faith in all those who hear the Word preached? Not in a Universalist sense, but that everyone who hears it has the same opportunity to come to faith. Some will come to full faith and be saved by the working of the Holy Spirit, and others will resist God's working in their hearts unto damnation? Such that, when Paul and Silas tell the Jailer, "Believe..." in Acts 16, that God has thus begun working on the jailer's heart so that he will come to faith? And by telling him to Believe, they are admonishing him not to resist the workings of God?

I suppose the question would then be, why would God's working in the hearts of man be effectual for some but not others? Could God not overcome the will of those who resist belief if he wanted to, especially seeing that man is not making the choice here? In my current Arminian understanding, God would not want to force someone to love Him and override the human free decision to do so, what would the Lutheran make of this?

My MIL used to be kind of uncaring. She is a hot and cold kind of person. You can get along with her and then all of a sudden you're treated like you're not family.

I've been put down, yelled at, ignored, interrupted while talking to her like I wasn't even having a conversation with her so that she could start a conversation with someone else when I was talking to her. There was always a comment about my sister having a baby outside of marriage. I ended up only going to her house once a season so I didn't have to have bad experiences with her. Didn't matter how well you got along with her, I have always had to be made felt like something was wrong with me or I wasn't good enough. Until... I got pregnant with twins and gave her grandkids after struggling with infertility.

I had Thanksgiving at my house while pregnant. I was excited despite how bad I felt. I cooked most of the food. She attended along with her daughters who are also rude, but one was really nice at the time. I had something hurdled at me over my sister with babies out of wedlock, yet her daughter was in the next room engaged to a dude she met online and pregnant with some other guy's baby. And she had the audacity to come at me over my sister?

Fast forward, I fell breaking both ankles, losing my ability to walk normally for roughly 7 mo. So, I was on bedrest with the rest of my pregnancy and for some reason, she wanted to help me. I was shocked, but she was literally my only help. She's retired and widowed. She did an ok job too. She stuck by my side and got to know me better. She would barely help me when I was alone and crippled taking care of twins from a wheelchair, but she watched the babies so I could go learn to walk again. That upset her jealous daughters. I was uneasy with it because she acts like she can't do anything. She knows what to do, but won't. It's weird, but nice to have her being a good grandma and being kinder. She also has A-fib, so she will use it as an excuse a lot of times to get out of doing a lot of stuff like walking. She can't walk to their nursery, but she can walk into the post office and she can go to the store and walk up to a buffet and eat with her daughters.

Well, the first birthday rolled around and she went MIA. She barely talked to me for a little over a month so she could get out of their bday party. She blamed it on a colonoscopy, but the birthday was not on that day LOL. She did however, go to her other grandson's bday party, yeah, the one born out of wedlock. She let a few weeks pass afterwards and finally came back around with gifts, etc. She was so rude to me. She seriously went back to how she used to be. Then she started getting nicer and nicer and coming over every week. She was safe and the party was over. This past week she said she didn't feel good that she needed to stay home and I said ok. She is feeling better, but won't carry on a conversation through messaging- just like she did around the time of the party. The only thing I can think of is that the same daughter who was pregnant before is pregnant again and her baby is due soon. I wonder if she is trying to get out of seeing my kids once a week because of the other baby. I would never keep her from her daughter and new grandson. This daughter in particular is really spoiled and held high.

I guess what I am asking for is... should I just cut the grandma time in half? I can't keep doing this I treat you good when I want something or the babies kind of thing. Am I being used for time with my babies? She usually babysits for a few hours on Thursday, but I am thinking of her coming over on Sundays instead so she can also see my husband. Plus, my babies are learning to walk better and better everyday. If she can't get the door for me when I'm locked out or walk to the nursery, then I guess her sitting days are over. She can't get up and walk around with these babies. She let one slip between my couch and ottoman last time she was here and told him she couldn't get him. All she had to do was sit on the ottoman and pick him up and she wouldn't even do that. I guess it's not safe for them anymore. I am a first-time mom and I get it double over here!

There are other ways Trump is inadvertently helping China included in the article.

Trump's other trade agreements with our Pacific allies only gets vague promises of investing in the US, but no firm commitments from business come with that.

China is gaining in trade and influence. The US has worked for decades to draw India in the US sphere of influence, but now China is gaining in India.

US allies felt that Trump's manner of handling the trade deals was humiliating. That is going to have a negative effect.

So this guy is reacting to the " End of the World " news every day. I won't like , copy his news , but I will give you just small 5 cents on some Bible texts.



This is the news reaction guy.

Now my take on Bible.



Matthew 24.



Daniel.



Knowledge increase.



I would give you more.

But I feel like Watchman River guy is doing pretty good job, so no need for me to spam his news.

But I kinda feel like he missed this few points so I guess I can post those.

Hello.

I have the sensation the nearer i try and make myself from God, the more isolated i become from men.
Do you think the same, that it's possible it's not a mere sensation, please ?

After all, we live in dechristianised societies.
If societies reject God... This could bring about that, couldn't it ?

Hi Everyone,


I’m coming here because I need some advice. My marriage is in a tough place right now, and I’m scared it’s heading toward divorce. My wife and I have been seeing a counselor (not a Christian counselor), but we’re still so divided on many things.

One of the biggest issues is about having children. When we got married, we both wanted kids, but recently my wife told me she’s not sure she wants them anymore. That was painful for me to hear, but I’m trying to be understanding and compromise.

Another problem is communication. My wife often says that I don’t ask her about her feelings or open up enough. I was raised in a home where we didn’t talk about feelings, while her family has always been very open and emotional. I try hard to communicate better, but it feels like no matter what I do, it’s never enough.

I’ve recently started doing weekly check-ins with my wife where I ask her about how she’s feeling, how things are going with intimacy, and what I can do better. This has helped her feel more heard because I know I’ve struggled with communicating well, especially since I’ve also dealt with a porn addiction for most of my life.


Right now, I’m using Covenant Eyes and really trying to live in the light and stay accountable. But I haven’t been perfect. I messed up recently when Facebook reels showed me some explicit content, and I intentionally watched it, and she found it in my history. She felt completely betrayed, and I understand why. I’ve since deleted Facebook from my phone because that’s always been a weak spot for me. Facebook on my browser has accountability software, so I can browse safely. I made sure to tell her that I know I messed up and that I want to keep healing and fighting for purity.

But when we argue, she brings up all my past mistakes, the porn, my struggles with communication, or that I want someone who’s more intimate but less emotional. It really hurts because it feels like no matter how hard I try now, I’m still just the sum of my past failures in her eyes. I feel like the work I’m doing now doesn’t even get seen sometimes.

I want so badly for things to get better, and I’m trying to take real steps. I just wish she could see that I’m not the same person I was back then.

Recently, we got into a huge argument about politics. She said I don’t care as much as she does, and she wants a partner who shares her level of interest. I tried to explain that while I know it’s important, I just don’t feel as strongly as she does, and I wish that could be respected. But she this as not caring about what matters to her.

Finances are also a point of stress. We have a budget, and I try to explain where we are financially, but sometimes these conversations turn tense. She’s very unhappy in her job and vents about it daily, which adds more strain, and I feel the constant need to try and help her be happy.

Intimacy is another struggle. She’s unhappy with her appearance, so when I don’t initiate sex (and I'm scared too because of her unhappiness), she feels like it confirms her fears of being unattractive.

Another big source of pain for me is faith. In all this I have not been perfect either. I get angry easily because of all these things I feel like I'm juggling, I’ve said hurtful things and cursed when I shouldn’t have. I know that’s not how God wants me to behave, and I pray daily that He changes me.

I’ve asked my wife if we can talk to a pastor for help, but she doesn’t want the church involved. I feel so stuck because when I do try to communicate, it often feels like the blame is turned back on me. She says I should talk more about my feelings, but it’s exhausting for me because I’m already carrying so much at home, I do most of the cooking, cleaning, and caring for our dogs.

Lately, she brings up divorce a lot. She says she feels bad for me, like maybe I’d be happier without her. But I don’t want to give up. I’m scared, and I feel like I can’t talk to my church leadership because she doesn’t want them involved.

I feel alone and I really don’t know what to do to save this marriage. If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it.

Economist Milton Friedman argued that the massive Welfare Bureaucracy system in place in Canada and the USA was terribly flawed and needed to be replaced.

Dr. Friedman argued that replacing the Welfare System with Unconditional but Taxable Income Supplements would be the way to go because if these income supplements were dependent on somebody simply being a USA citizen or legal resident but have zero connection to their last year's income or last month's income, then very little bureaucracy would be needed.

I believe that women who choose to have an abortion often do so due to economic pressure and the stigma of facing life in our economy as a single mother.

I believe that a high percentage of abortions would probably be prevented in America and Canada set in motion Unconditional but Taxable Basic Minimum Income style Income Supplements.

If you do a search for Dr. Cindy Jacobs "Word for Canada 2018" you will find a message that she gives in which she predicts that the USA and Canadian dollars will go to par value.

My background is a little different than hers and so I have been thinking and thinking and thinking and praying about all of this and now I finally feel ready to present a thesis from logic that the key to addressing many of the problems facing Canada and the USA and all Christians is to take another look at the writings of Economist Milton Friedman and begin to research and pray about the possible ways that taking the USA and Canadian dollars to par value could be a win, win, win, win, win scenario for three hundred and forty million Americans as well as for forty one million Canadians.

I will soon give you a link into the a summary of the book "Capitalism and Freedom" by Economist Milton Friedman that I believe should be researched and certainly prayed about.

x. The Distribution of IncomeFriedman examines the progressive income tax, introduced in order to redistribute income to make things more fair, and finds that, in fact, the rich take advantage of numerous loopholes, nullifying the redistributive effects. It would be far more fair just to have a uniform flat tax with no deductions, which could meet the 1962 tax revenues with a rate only slightly greater than the lowest tax bracket at that time.

xi. Social Welfare MeasuresThough well-intentioned, many social welfare measures don't help the poor as much as some think. Friedman focuses on Social Security as a particularly large and unfair system.

Click to expand...

xii. Alleviation of PovertyFriedman regarded welfare programs as misguided and inefficient. To replace them, he advocates a negative income tax, giving everyone a guaranteed minimum income.

Click to expand...

xiii. ConclusionThe conclusion to the book centers on how, time and time again, government intervention often has an effect opposite of that intended. Most good things in the United States and the world come from the free market, not the government, and they will continue to do so. The government, despite its good intentions, should stay out of areas where it does not need to be.

So many people are fooled by the propaganda put out by jihadists and their supporters. This video puts forth the truth and the Hamas strategy:

Yeonsoo Go, a South Korean student at Purdue University and the daughter of a beloved Episcopal priest in New York, told a friend she was nervous about a visa hearing last week, given the stream of headlines about the Trump administration’s aggressive pursuit of immigration enforcement.

Her fears were realized when she and her mother left her hearing in Manhattan on Thursday to find US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents waiting for her.

Go, 20, was arrested and placed in federal detention nearby, before eventually being moved – like so many recent ICE detainees – to a facility in Louisiana.

Now, church communities in New York and South Korea are condemning her treatment by US immigration authorities and rallying for her release.

[ICE says her R-2 expired 2 years ago.]

But an attorney for the Episcopal Diocese in New York, where Go’s mother serves as a priest, said Go’s current visa doesn’t expire until December, and Thursday’s hearing was part of her application to extend it.

Or is it possible that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was taking advice from somebody so far up in CSIS that he was actually working toward making Joe Biden and Kamala Harris unelectable in 2024?

This seems like a strange theory but if we look back at these past nine years you might tend to become somewhat suspicious of what the very intelligent people in the life of Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were actually attempting to accomplish?

Could the CSIS connected members of the Liberal Party that Prime Minister Justin TRudeau was taking advice from have been out to back up President Trump and get him back into office by 2024 and was their goal to expose corruption in Ottawa as well as in Washington?

Perhaps this discussion would fit better in the "Conspiracy Theories" forum but when we look at this we cannot help but scratch our heads and wonder what in the world is happening.

Is Jesus exposing corruption within the governments of Canada and the USA?

Did Jesus set up the whole past nine years as a warning to all Christians about the future "Mark of the Beast?"

You all know that Adolf Hitler used the Nazi Party to spread rumours that special types of diseases could be spread by Jews and other groups of people that Hitler hated.
