Historic, when peace treaties have been made against warring Nations generally whosoever the president of the US is is behind it and they all receive thanks and praise from various countries. They just don't brag and boast about it.

Treaties and Agreements | The American Presidency Project

www.presidency.ucsb.edu

These other US Presidents don't objectify female Prime Ministers of other nations, they bother to learn whether someone is a "President' or a "Prime Minister", they seem to have genuinely happy people on the stage with them - not people going stone-faced with embarrassment, and most of all - they don't toot their own trumpet as the biggest peace deal that "some say in 3000 years, some say in 500 - who knows?" because they're an insecure little man-baby with Narcissistic Personality Disorder that constantly seeks Narcissistic Supply to prop up all their bluster with applause from the crowd to utterly absurd and mystifying self-congratulations.

I'm not even sure Trump is in the Oval Office for all the Bitcoin (and other) deals he's scamming the nation with.

I think he's just there for the Supply.
He needs to congratulate himself so much he just. Can't. Stop. SPEAKING!

well the most well known is Yousef Awyan. Born and raised and still lived only a few hundred meters from the Sphinx. A stone mason by trade who makes pretty good vases in the traditional ways. But uses an angle grinder lol. His father Abd’El Hakim Awyan,is a well know Egyptologist and keeper of Egyptian heritage.

Yousef shakes his head in amazement at how the ancients could have achieved these works. But he also defends that the Egyptians did have advanced knowledge we don't understand. All Egyptians do. All ancient cultures believe their ancestors held great knowledge that was lost. Why deny them.

Yousef the expert on ancient Egyptian stonework techniques is the equivalent of Philomena Cunk's mate Paul on quantum physics.

The truth can be aggravating, yes indeed the Democrats once again voted no.

They are abundantly demonstrating their only concern is their partisan agenda.

There are exactly two people who can summon the House into session. Neither of them is in the Senate and neither of them is a Democrat. Johnson is choosing to connect this to the funding impasse, but that's strictly his decision and is not impacted by anything that happens in the Senate.

Erm... not sure what to say here.

pours forth Pandora's box onto the table

My name is Christian. I am 28 years old. I am a sort of Prodigal Son to the faith. Used to believe. Fell deep into the darkest ruts of sin. Am slowly climbing out of the grave with the Lord's help. Still very much struggle with matters of the flesh. Often feel discouraged. Definitely need prayers on that front. Struggle with the bizarre temptation to seek out worldly intellectualism to puff up my big brain pride as well. Ew. Ugh. So many words and philosophies. Circular. Back to where they started. I need Godly wisdom.

Also... hello everyone!

Welcome!

It's just as clean as the exact same one was passed in March - when Schumer supported it.

Yes, in exchange for promises that they would then negotiate for Democratic priorities. Promises that were promptly ignored.

Are they aware you have one? Don’t assume you’ll never get noticed. What’s your focus? My digital presence is a springboard for physical products. I’m sharing about myself and infusing elements of my beliefs in my countenance and perspective. But it isn’t a religious platform nor is the market I’m dealing with. I can still be a light nonetheless and that’s the point.

I'm basically invisible, so no. My blog has 1 loyal reader and the most read post got 19 distinct visitors. My focus is on apologetics, metatheology, and what it's like to believe in God and be diagnosed with bipolar 1 and ADHD and how they interplay to give me a unique perspective. It would take a miracle for me to get noticed, either good or bad. To tie this into the topic at hand, some of what I write might be offensive to dominionists and hard core fundamentalists.

10/19 on 1 Samuel 18
Saul turns on David b/c David is better then him in battle & is a good musician.
Envy robs us of joy: we become critical of us & others. B/c of what we don't have others do. Envy is all over the OT. It destroys us & others. It does not make us feel good. It often comes from insecurity & fear. We all have it.
God's holy jealousy is good. We have that too when we want to bring God glory
The Bible says God gives an evil spirit to Saul. He is leaving Saul in the disobedience Saul repeatedly wanted - he is giving Saul what Saul wants - & he is also taking his favor of Saul being king away.
Only Jesus does not have envy like all the kings before him. He has the holy jealousy that helps us & brings him glory. He takes our envy & turns it to his holy jealousy.

Why are you incapable of answering the question? You can't call someone a drug smuggler if they haven't been convicted of it. Your little so-called article doesn't change that fact.

For example, I can call Trump a fraud and a rapist, because he's been convicted of those crimes.

Foreign cartels (known for smuggling drugs, weapons, human and sex trafficking) are killing American citizens and attacking our national guard and ICE agents in the United States.

This is being coordinated by foreign adversaries located in South America known as cartels.

It changed the game. They changed the rules, they changed what they were (simple criminals not hurting anyone) to foreign terrorists at war with the United States.

This is my opinion.

Welcome to the site. I’ll tag our resident philosopher so he can chime in. @2PhiloVoid is well informed.

Maybe you can channel your intellectual hunger towards more profitable pursuits. Curriculums are really popular and if you aren’t familiar with the trend you can reference my post.

What's on your mind? Friendship Court edition.

Regular family time? Eating dinner together? No, sorry, that's not the answer. I've already given a hint somewhere in this subforum.

Bully evangelism? Gosh. That’s part of the reason I don’t make christian content. I don’t have the temperament for the extremes. Sometimes I peek on X and shake my head.

Yeah, that's understandable. I don't mind taking the risk, because I doubt I'll get any attention for my blog. Though I do keep my head down in church because of it.

Current intelligence is, as always, classified. The decisions are left up to the president and are reviewed by the oversight committees in Congress.

Given that the USA let the Ecuador citizen go back home, there must be a lack of intel on who is in the boats? If he were a narco-terrorist why let him go?

I suspect this has a lot to do with Kirk and how he interacted with students which has some asking the question. There’s a difference between doing that with someone familiar who respects you or your position and a stranger. His ‘results’ may compel some to adopt a similar approach which may be inappropriate. Have you seen this thread?

Is being a jerk a good evangelism strategy?

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, there’s been a massive surge of his followers who have a newfound curiosity in what he was most passionate about — his faith in Jesus Christ. But I’ve been dismayed that at such a pivotal moment, with so many searching for answers, there are a...

Possibly, and I agree. And yeah, I saw that thread and posted in it twice. It inspired me to write an article for my blog about bully evangelism.

Not necessarily. These trug cartels have been designated as terrorist organizations. Because we are technically fighting a global war on terrorism, these drug traffickers are legally enemy combatants. No different than US troops engaging the enemy on a battlefield. Would you expect Ukranians to capture a Russian convoy bringing ammunition to the front line and give them a trial, or would you expect them to send an artillery? I understand there has been a lot of political spin, but as long as enemy targets have been confirmed and are not on US soil, the president has the authority to use lethal force.

No one familiar with the laws of war accepts that interpretation.

...so there are people who want to see the faction that supported those things, have to face some of those consequences from their own playbook. As sort of "social retributive justice" of sorts.

You might enjoy this and while not exactly the topic is still the topic in general. I think there's some of what you said but there's actual principal too. There really are, in my opinion, things that are bridges too far.

Yes, what we surround ourselves with and what we feed ourselves with has a lot to do with our thought process.

One of my favorite verses in the Bible

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

We’re really going backwards and comments like these shouldn’t be required. Why would someone try to minister through offense for a religion that prizes love? Who’d want to provoke a stranger in this climate with everything taking place? You may get more than you bargained for.

~bella

Yeah, though there can be a time when offending someone serves a pastoral purpose. Possibly to shock someone who is prideful, such as how Jesus called the pharisees "sons of the devil' and "sons of vipers" because of their religious chauvenism and their failure to attend to the basic duties that they were put into their offices to do like ensuring that the vulnerable members of society received care.

Okay, I can accept that surveillance showed that they were drug smugglers. Then arrest and prosecute, either in the USA or back in their home country. Surely everyone is entitled to a trial.
