The issue is who we are talking about as being terrorists. Because pretty much every president has given money to both parties in that struggle for a long time.

Just answer my question

Excellent interview. Mr. Laurie demonstrates very well how to do high-level evangelism (by talking to Peterson) and continues to make the main thing the main thing.

They will be very angry for the next four years.

They should have chose a better candidate, preferably someone who can speak in full sentences.

Kamala always spoke in full sentences, as the sentences she spoke in were full, as full sentences are essential when speaking about full sentences. She will tell you about full sentences, because she knows full sentences are important if you want the sentences to be full.

Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party want to put as many progressive leftist judges into the federal courts as they possibly can. It doesn't matter to the progressive leftist that the majority of the voters in the majority of the states in America have rejected progressive left wing policies. The Democratic Party refuses to acknowledge that facts showing most people in most states have voted against their Progressive left wing agenda.

Considering that the ongoing Laws were mediated by angels - do you think there is any possible credence to the suggestion that Satan could have been involved in this process resulting in the laws being more binding than what was intended ???

well, of course. how many of those are in the 66 books of the bible i don't know.

what i do know is the oral torah and the case history and the "rules"

--are the length of 4 sets of encyclopedias.

So basically, just like Sharia law, but instead of clerics, a bunch of wanna-be actors who think their existence is the result of alien spirits being dropped into a volcano, as told to them by a failed Sci-Fi writer who fancied himself a sea captain.


This is why any request (from any religion, ranging from the well-established/mainstream to the downright comically goofy) to be able to "handle matters internally, in place of the public court system" should always be met with a resounding "Not a chance buddy"

Should leaders who allowed the illegal entry of these innocent children be charged? They were complicit. They knew these children would not be cared for. They knew the probability of this development was high. They should be investigated. Set up the tribunal. Anyone who hid or helped in this illegal activity should be detained and questioned. Where are these children? What did they do with them? We need to know. They need to be found and rescued. Top of the list for the new DOJ. Stop obsessing over Trump and start enforcing the law.
I am not surprised.

Casillas also said Trump could be expected to support policies that restrict abortion funding in other countries.

The Department of Education issued those loans. Biden told the people who had outstanding debt that they didn't have to pay those loans back. The Supreme Court stated that Biden didn't have that authority.

Click to expand...

Actually not true. If you believe this you need to read Biden v. Missouri again. What that case decided was that Biden did not have the authority to forgive student loans using the HEROES Act. In other words, this specific tool was not one that could be used that way.

HarleyER said:

He ignored them and went ahead and erased those loans-funds that we, as taxpayers, will now have to pay to the bank.

Click to expand...

He didn't ignore them though. He listened to them, dropped his attempt to forgive loans through the HEROES Act, and looked for and found some other way to reach his goal. He ended up using more targeted forgiveness using some provisions of the Higher Education Act instead of his earlier blanket approach. It's as if the goal to forgive loans was a room and BIden tried to go through one door and was told he couldn't so he just looked until he found a different door he could use.

HarleyER said:

This was a campaign promise of Biden.

I'm not denying that.

HarleyER said:

I'm not sure why you are trying to say Biden didn't do this.

Click to expand...

I'm not saying Biden didn't implement some student loan forgiveness, I'm just rebutting the implication this was some sort of rouge act instead of Biden using his authority as President as specifically granted by Congress. In other words, if Congress didn't want him to be able to fulfill his promise of meeting this goal, they should have amended the HEA.

Proposal that aims to bring back rule that US bishops lifted in 1966 has a following.

A suggestion by an Eastern Rite bishop that Catholics in the United States once again give up eating meat on Fridays throughout the year has drawn interest from more than a dozen bishops in the country.

Several bishops told the Register they hope the U.S. bishops discuss the idea at their next gathering in June 2025.

But an early canvas suggests a renewed practice, if it occurs, might look different from the Church’s previous rule, which forbade Catholics from eating meat on almost all Fridays of the year under pain of mortal sin. Several bishops told the Register they don’t want to go that route.

I definitely want to see this movie but the term “assassin” as part of his description seems a problem. His support of the plot against Hitler was surely solid but I believe he agonized over what had to be done all the same. Of his writings I have read: The Cost of Discipleship ( which I randomly noticed on a Salvation Army used book rack years ago having never heard of Pastor Bonhoeffer), Letters and Papers from Prison, Life Together & some collected pieces.

The pretty good biography by Eric Metaxis uses the words, “pastor, martyr, prophet, spy” to describe Dietrich Bonhoeffer. These words seem much more accurate, I think.

A parental rights advocacy group is calling for a federal investigation into Boston Public Schools after leaked internal documents show the district organized racially-segregated affinity groups for teachers and parents, which included programs intended for whites only.

Parents Defending Education filed a complaint last week through the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s office in Boston, requesting an investigation to determine whether BPS’ actions violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Boston Public Schools did not immediately respond to The Christian Post’s request for comment.

The mother of Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student murdered by an illegal immigrant earlier this year, wept as she begged the judge to sentence the killer to life in prison, asking that he not receive mercy when he showed none to her daughter or the family he destroyed.

Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to life in prison without parole for Riley’s murder Wednesday.

The verdict by Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard marked the conclusion of a bench trial that began last week.

A federal appeals court has limited the scope of a lower court ruling that prohibited Louisiana from enforcing a new law that requires the placement of Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit issued an order last Friday allowing the law requiring the Decalogue displays to take effect in the school districts that do not have parents challenging the measure. The law is slated to take effect on New Year's Day.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill celebrated the order, saying in a statementshe looks forward to "immediately working with all of our school boards who are not involved in this lawsuit to implement the law soon!”

This law is clearly being targeted at one newly elected representative. Even if you don't think trans people should be able to use the bathroom that identifies with their identity, that should be enough to make this unacceptable.

The fact that such a big deal is being made by the left over this person is what put them in the spotlight. The only reason I know this person exists, as compared to most others in congress, is because of all the FIRST TRANS PERSON IN CONGRESS! hoopla. I don't even know their name or what state/district they represent, I just know THEY'RE TRANS!!!

You can't have it both ways .... at this point in time (unfair to do so) ... like I said ... perhaps they should review their current process ... and if in the future they could all be made public ... or not.

Are you able to recognize that Gaetz's situation is unique compared to other ethics probes?

Tony Campolo, a bestselling author, teacher and evangelist preacher known for championing a movement called “Red Letter Christianity,” has died. He was 89.

Campolo’s death was announced on his Facebook page on Tuesday evening. The message to his friends and followers said the notable preacher “died at his home in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania,” where he was “surrounded by his family and loved ones.”

“His life was a testament to faith, love, and the transformative power of relationships, and his influence will be felt for generations to come,” the announcement added.
