Not even close. He even fails at that lol.

Shockwaves from the former administration that haven't quelled in the eight months of the current administration. The old adage, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Authoritarian socialist systems call that "the dictatorship of the proletariat." Authoritarian capitalist systems call it "the social commodification of labor." It amounts to much the same thing either way, A period of discipline and austerity for the working class until we vanquish the enemies who keep us from ascending to the broad, sunny uplands of prosperity.

The big whopping deal in this case is that the President took the initiative because the governor wouldn't.

Isn’t that the governor’s call to make?

It's just the National Guard, not Gestapo Nazi storm troopers et al.

No that would be ICE using the gestapo tactics. The NG has mostly just been standing around doing nothing.

The hyperbole being cranked out is most certainly conspiracy grade material.

Only second to the hand waving and gaslighting we’re seeing.

What James is saying there is that true faith is always accompanied by action/works (when possible - can be exceptions like the thief on the cross). If you have true faith in Christ as your Lord and Savior, you're not just going to sit around and never serve Him. Faith involves being surrendered to Christ and being willing to obey Him and serve Him. If someone says they believe, but do nothing to show that and back it up, then their faith is dead, as James said. It isn't that the works save us, it's that the works are the evidence that our faith is genuine. Paul taught that God has good works prepared for those who become saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-10), so if someone isn't doing any good works, then that would be evidence that they aren't really saved and their faith isn't genuine.

And who was James writing to. , and does Mean any thing , Yes it does and read James 1:1 !!

Took another look... wow....
In another newly uncovered 2018 Facebook post, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) endorsed a conspiracy theory that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was videotaped murdering a child during a satanic ritual and then ordered a hit on a police officer to cover it up. She also liked a meme claiming that some of her now-Democratic congressional colleagues have used the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for human trafficking, pedophilia, and organ harvesting.

Greene is a former right-wing commentator who is now a Republican member of Congress. She has received heavy criticism for her recently uncovered endorsements of the conspiracy theories that the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, were staged false flags. Greene is also a QAnon and 9/11 conspiracy theorist who has promoted anti-Muslim attacks and a conspiracy theory that Jewish people are trying to take over Europe through immigration.

Greene is also a backer of the violent and absurd “Frazzledrip” conspiracy theory, which is linked to QAnon and Pizzagate

Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed a deranged conspiracy theory about Democrats and satanic child murder

So many people spend such a large amount of bandwidth denigrating the Democrats

I'm pointing out that Democrats misled their voters about what happened in the 2016 election (in a thread where we're discussing what happened in the 2016 election).

Bradskii said:
and supporting everything that Trump does,

Please find a single post where I've supported ANYTHING Trump has done.

Bradskii said:
excusing his all-to-obvious faults,

That's amusing. Trump was the catalyst for why I changed my voter registration from Republican to Independent. I no longer felt like the Republicans (and Trump in specific) were representative of my ideals and values.

Bradskii said:
handwaving away his monstrously ridiculous statements

Trump says some wildly stupid things on the daily. You'll get no argument from me there.

Bradskii said:
and rejecting any attacks on his credibility, his character, his misogyny, his lies etc and then, when they've spent all this time supporting Trump and cheer leading the GOP, they say 'What me? A supporter? Heaven forbid!'

I'm not sure who you're talking about, or where this has happened to you "a lot", but you're clearly not referring to me.

Bradskii said:
When you're ensconced in the GOP camp, waving the GOP flag and throwing rocks at the opposition then you will be treated as a supporter of said group.

Or, perhaps you can't fathom someone being equally fed up with both Democrats and Republicans.

Of course, I've already told you all of this before. But since the only arrow in your quiver seems to be whataboutisms, you just don't know how to engage with me since I am equally disgusted by Republicans and Democrats. When you say, "What about the 2020 election?!" and I say, "Yes, that was an appalling display of idiocy", you just don't know what to say next.

What's not to like about adultery, celebrating Pope Francis' death, and Jewish Space Lasers? That's pretty interesting, even for a member of Congress.

You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

This is really simple. When a person believes in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life. God knows at the very moment of belief, the person has believed in Jesus, God does not need a person to go out and do works So God can say hey this person really believed.

But there is more to the life of a born again child of God than just believing in Jesus. There is fellowship with other believers and the doing the works God has for believers to do while living on earth. So at the judgment seat of The Messiah for believers concerning rewards, they will have a good judgment.

It is also.
So the person who has believed in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life. Can show other believers they have believed in Jesus for Eternal Life by works they may do.

Basically it is a witness to other believers that they are also believers.

Now sadly in this current time period, so many has gotten away from belief in Jesus for Eternal Life. So you really can not tell who is a believer by their works and who has not believed in Jesus.
So many focus on a worked based approach to receiving eternal life, who knows who has believed in Jesus and who has not, but instead are believing in their works.

And you did not give a verse and OR. what the CONTEXT IS. and to who. it was WRITTEN TO ?

Just read James 1:1 and all will see that it was written to the 12 TRIBES scattered ABROAD. ,meaning Israel !!

You do know that he fired the commissioner for labour statistics because he didn't like the employment figures? Orwell is spinning in his grave.

Trump fires Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner Erika McEntarfer after disappointing July jobs report, claiming the 73,000 job gain figure was rigged against Republicans.

Thank you for that but I thought that we were talking about the Abode of the dead?

And I. believe that Luke 22:22-31 is a better look at the HELL ?

# 1. The rich man SOUL. is in. Hell

# 2 His body is a Grave

# 3 His spirit goes back to God that gave it to, Ecc 12:7

# 4 All that died when to HELL .

# 1 And in 1 Cor 5: 1: 5 a believer. was. not judgedb

# 2 AND Paul turn that person over to Satan for the death of the flesh. , becasue , the assembly. would not judge

# 3 That person body is in the Grave ,

# 4 verse 5 That the spirit may be saved for the DAY. of the Lord ,

Your thoughts as to where his soul and spirits went ?

The posse comitatus act of 1878. That gave me a chuckle.

I'm sure you'll giggle your butt off if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act of 1807.
Both laws are on the books.

Uh oh, the courts are after Trump.

The courts are determining what's legal and illegal under current law, no matter when it was written.

What makes you think that I "won" in 2016? You must suffer from short-term memory loss, because I am certain that I've explained to you on more than one occasion that I am a registered independent and I've NEVER voted for Trump in any election.
