I don’t get how some think billionaires and corporations buying favor with the president is better than splitting the cost of the renovations across 150 million taxpayers.

I think Elon helped pay to elect the guy - he should pay for the "Wannabe a Russian Dictator Ballroom" as a bill for getting to play DOGE master for a few months.

I don't think you can distinguish purely by orthography, Philokalia and Philocalia are both trying to represent the same Greek word.

You already had it.

Why? King isn’t automatically a bad thing. I doubt Charles takes any offense to the title. We just don’t want any kings here.

I think calling Trump a King should be edited into the list then. It's an unpleasant label of the president.

There is no path for Trump to be president if he is the VP. He is not eligible to be the VP.

Yeah and can you even imagine Trump being second in command to anyone? He wouldn’t allow it for one second.

Of course. No Republican is to blame for the dysfunction of Congress even though both houses are currently run by republicans and we have a republican president who hails himself as a great deal maker who can get things done.

The only problem is the American people don’t believe this and are blaming the party in charge of our federal government and that’s what MTG is trying to get across but anyone daring to speak against the GOP narrative that this is solely and entirely the fault of the democrats must obviously be incorrect.

Even if the proposed amendment gets through Congress, there's no way enough states possibly get onside in time enough to allow him to run again. It's a moot point.

The 12th Amendment is the one that set up the current electoral college with separate EC votes for Pres and VP. Prior to that the VP was the runner up in the "vote for two" tally of the votes of the electors for president. Since in the old system the VP was the presidential "runner-up" all valid votes would have to be cast for *president*. With this amendment, they kept it explicit that the VP must be eligible to be elected president. The "VP trick" is facially invalid. Donald Trump is ineligible to be VP.

A defining feature of Communism is ownership and control of all businesses.
I contend that oil subsidies are questionable. So is Trump's insistence that Intel give the government a 10% stake.

I would, but i would also keep the time that the clocks will soon change to.

Exodus 35:3

Exodus 16:29

Click to expand...

In the very beginning of the Holy Scriptures, God, in His eternal Mercy, showed us how the deceiver deceives His people.

1. He professes to know God.

2. He quotes "some" of God's Word to promote the Philosophy that couldn't stand if more of God's Word was considered.

He said, "And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And sure enough, in Gen. 2: 15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "saying", Of every tree of the garden "thou mayest freely eat":

Now if a person carefully selected this one verse, and used it to promote a teaching that couldn't stand if more of the Words of God were considered, they could and have been deceived in this way.

This has been repeated over and over and over through out the entire Bible, and Jesus even pointed it out about the mainstream preachers of HIS Time.

So because even a nobody like me has studied the Scriptures, I know that these verses you separated from the entire bible, to promote the teaching that God's Sabbath Commandment forbids a person to light a lamp, or start a fire on a cold day, or take a walk in fellowship with God on His Holy sabbaths and pick a blackberry is not inline with God's Teaching, in my view, even though there are "Many" who come in Christ's Name that promote just that. I think that if you were to study yourself with the purpose of SEEKING God's Truth regarding the Sabbath, you would find as I did, that God's Sabbath has a purpose, but it isn't to freeze your family or lock them up in tent or house, or starve them.

My hope is that you might do the study.

In a heated call, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene chastises Republicans over their shutdown strategy

In a heated call, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene chastises Republicans over their shutdown strategy

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ripped into the shutdown strategy of her fellow Republicans and White House staff during a heated conference call on Tuesday.

www.aol.com

On Tuesday, Greene accused her party of letting the country down, according to a Republican source who was on the conference call. Greene later confirmed the comments herself, even adding more detail, in the latest sign of a rift between her and her party.

Greene has long been one of President Donald Trump's most vocal backers, but in recent weeks, she's bucked her party on a number of high-profile issues, including the administration’s strikes on Iran, the conflict in Gaza and its handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Not long after Tuesday's call ended, the Georgia Republican began posting on X and confirming reports that she had reamed out her party leadership and expressed frustration with the White House's political team.

"I said I have no respect for the House not being in session passing our bills and the President’s executive orders. And I demanded to know from Speaker Johnson what the Republican plan for healthcare is," she wrote.


Greene also argued that Republicans' shutdown strategy has angered the American people and hurt Trump’s popularity, according to the source on the call.

Representative Greene is incorrect.

The title is insulting. The implication is insulting.
And using an article that refers to the Babylon Bee as authoritative - sad.

Glamorous looks are often expensive.
