RIP Gal...
Songs I don't get tired of hearing...
Mr. Tambourine Man, originally written and performed by Bob Dylan in 1965, it was covered by The Byrds.Songs I don't get tired of hearing...
Originally written and performed by Pete Seeger, The BYRDS version was more dynamic that Pete changed and plays it in their style!The Byrds — Turn! Turn! Turn!
Raise your hand if you wanted glasses like Roger McGuinn...
Jury selection...
In the mean time, he violated his gag order a few times.
I can understand why the judge is allowing this...
A night or two in jail would only delay the case.
RE: JAPAN POPULATION DECLINE
The reason poorer countries have large families is because they believe more children equals more chance to get work hence more family income,This is often perpetuated by religion who see it as a way of increasing their congregation and thereby increasing their income.
A vicious circle.
RE: Jury selection...
I am surprised that they managed to come up with the amount of jurors so quickly...but naturally they are going to sift through endless trails to ensure no juror has engaged in any negative media posting regarding Trump...I can imagine Trump will pull a tantrum and accuse the trial being rigged...RE: Soaring gas prices
Some people use hon or love as a term without any meaning, it’s a cultural thing. But I agree it should not be used on an international website.I find the constant Trump posts making him out as the next messiah hilarious and proves how easy it is to mislead the simple minded.
RE: UK SMOKING BAN
Sunak is either very brave or very stupid if he thinks banning smoking will help the conservatives win the upcoming election.Banning anything has never worked out well for any government.
Until worldwide tobacco production is stopped, people will always find a way to get their cancer sticks.
Hemp is far safer, but that is harder to tax at this time.
RE: Soaring gas prices
Riz...Any male who addresses a female as Hun or Love when you do not know her well is creepy...
I am getting a bit tired of the same old rhetoric that keeps on being perpetuated...
RE: Jury selection...
I read that the defense council are trawling through pages of media accounts to see if any prospective juror has ever posted anything derogatory regarding Trump.At least the Defense Council is earning their exorbitant salaries.
I guess our Scandinavian friend will say it’s fake news. (It’s not).
RE: Soaring gas prices
Oh, so now anyone who posts actual proven facts is a shit-stirrer. Your comments are priceless. Thank you for the laughs.Jury selection...
I was out on appointments today and didn't book a flight to NY... even if it was to witness the action.All 12 jurors have been selected including one alternate.
My chances have dropped to 0.001% chance.
I'll probably do better with a few lottery tickets.
The current jackpot is $178,000,000.
Jury selection...
Yes, that would be really difficult to find a NewYorker who doesn't know Trump in one way or another.
RE: Soaring gas prices
I don't know what you have in mind Daffy, but I see you are a pot strirer more than anything else. What do you look like anyway? Are you a child, an adult..? and what are you doing here at Shwans blog, what is your message. Is it that the Biden adm is a bunch of heroes maybe.Can you lay out for us what is the main difference between the former administration and this one so that folk can understand what to vote for. Are you an american, and why did you move abroad.
Ah and please put up a photo now love.
RE: Soaring gas prices
Nice back peddling...RE: Soaring gas prices
Adressing one person of the lot of you always makes it too personal,so - instead in general:
I think what made the prices go up was a combo of covid and Putins invasion of Ukraine.
Then it's up to each and everyone if they will believe DT would/could have
handeled that combo any different than the sitting adm. I know what I feel on that.
Thanks for the blog Shawn.
RE: Soaring gas prices
I'm fully aware of the facts of support for gas and electricity from the Government Merlot but my point in all of this was that the U.S. president has no control over gasolene prices. FACT.I don't resent being told anything if it's true and I am unaware, that's called positive information. What I object to is anyone believing that Trump actually reduced fuel prices and hoping I'll believe it.
Did you read this article.?
What about from a legacy perspective? Can presidents say that they reduced gas prices over their term in office? Nope. Every president since 2000 has left office with gas prices higher than they took office (using EIA numbers):
Bill Clinton left office with gas prices 39 cents higher ($1.06 on Jan. 25, 1993; $1.47 on Jan. 22, 2001).
George W. Bush also left office with gas prices 39 cents higher ($1.47 on Jan. 22, 2001; $1.84 on Jan. 26, 2009).
Barack Obama left office with gas prices 49 cents higher ($1.84 on Jan. 26, 2009; $2.33 on Jan. 23, 2017)
Donald Trump was a relative success story, with prices climbing a mere 6 cents during his time in office ($2.33 on Jan. 23, 2017; $2.39 on Jan. 25, 2021).
So it seems Trump didn't reduce prices they just didn't rise that high.
RE: Soaring gas prices
Fuel is petrol and diesel.I added in the info on electricity as further evidence that the government HAS control on costs and benefits.
Hope this clarifies things for you.
It seems that people here actually resent hearing facts.
It's just information, not intended to put anybody down so relax.
RE: Soaring gas prices
I just let them keep on cycling Daphne and throw the odd spanner in the works in case they get a puncture.
RE: Soaring gas prices
I thought this blog was about petrol and diesel not gas and electricity supplies.dunno:RE: Soaring gas prices
The government here reduced its tax take on fuel two years ago. It's going back up now in stages because the price went down.They also gave us lump sums to offset the cost of electricity. 2x300 euro each year I think.
RE: Soaring gas prices
I find this too funny...Who is paying the Scandinavian troll to peddle this shit?...
RE: JAPAN POPULATION DECLINE
This appears to be one of the first world countries but that's just economics, in reality there are a lot of poor families. The government has just doubled the number of primary schools getting free school dinners and is urging the remainder to take up the offer because teachers have been witnessing children arriving in school hungry.RE: JAPAN POPULATION DECLINE
There is always a come back answer from you...I guess that's why your here on a singles site...Exhausting...omg...

Chapter 3Preaching of John the Baptist
Baptism of Jesus
John the Baptist was a prophet foretold by Isaiah. John prophesied about the Messiah coming after him. He prepared the people with Baptism of water and repentance, but He also speaks of something more, Baptism of Fire from the Holy Spirit, which some today refer to as Confirmation.
There is some question as to why Jesus was baptized? He was the son of God, without sin, so He did not need it for repentance or to clear any original sin for Himself. But in doing so, He fortified what John the Baptist was preaching, that we all need repentance and Baptism.
Baptism of Jesus
If Jesus was Baptized, and God is pleased with Jesus, His son, then there is no question we need to be Baptized too.
This passage gives us a moment to see the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, all acting as one. The Word ‘Trinity’ is not in the Bible, yet the concept is. God in three person is shown to us in the Baptism of Jesus.
We may also be reminded of the beginning of Genesis, where God says, let ‘us’ make man in ‘our’ image. This plural usage in Genesis makes sense when we understand the Trinity of 1 God in 3 persons.

[b]Chapter 2Visit of the Magi
Flight to Egypt
Massacre of the Infants
Return from Egypt
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the location foretold by the prophet Isaiah. When the Magi came to Jerusalem inquiring about a newborn king of the Jews, King Herod became troubled and found out the Messiah would come from Bethlehem.
Herod’s secret plan was to send the Magi to Bethlehem and once they found Jesus, Herod could come to kill him. The Lord was aware of Herod’s thoughts and warned Joseph in a dream to escape from Egypt.
The Magi worshiped Jesus and were also warned by the Lord in a dream and did not return to Herod.
When Herod learned that the Magi were gone, he had all the male children under 2 years of age killed. Theses children are the first Christian martyrs, now in heaven, given a day of remembrance each year as the Holy Innocents.
The slaughter of the children in Bethlehem can be compared to the slaughter of the male children in Egypt. Moses, the future deliverer of the Israelites, escaped. Jesus the deliverer of us all, escaped.
The Holy Family’s flight to Egypt can be compared to Israel fleeing to Egypt to avoid death.
RE: Soaring gas prices
No president has control of oil prices, aha... but does hehave a say in ordering pipelines blown up?
Does he have a say in foreign policies including wars?
Does he have a say in how to handle national crises like Covid?
Does he and his government have a say in what countries to put sanctions on?
Does he and his gov have a say in what national energy politics should be on
What about green power and investments vs more traditional energy sources?
Is the present adm for or against fracking?
Basically are you a 100% sure "no president has control of oil prices" whatsoever?
These things are not intertwined?

Bible Summary MatthewWritten by Ken Searle in Bible Books
Matthew
Chapter 1
Genealogy of Jesus
Birth of Jesus
The Gospel of Matthew opens with a list of people’s names, the genealogy of Jesus. Don’t skip it. Matthew is proving to the people of his time (the Jews) that Jesus is the Read thMessiah, who must come from the line of David, the line of Judah, the line of Abraham. If he does not, a responsible Jew would ignore the claim.
Matthew proves Jesus’ ancestry in the line of David and gets their attention.
Read through it to see if you recognize any of the names. If you are reading through the 14 books of the narrative approach, you may recognize some that you have been reading about. It is alright if you don’t recognize them all. Over time more names may look familiar.
Matthew then speaks about Jesus, who is born from a woman and the Holy Spirit, not from Mary and Joseph, It is a true miracle from God.
The birth of Jesus fulfills Gen 3:15 where God promised there would be a battle between the Devil and the woman & her offspring. Mary is the woman and Jesus is the offspring who will ultimately crush the head of the devil; sin and death.
Matthew is only concerned with the Virgin birth of Jesus at this time, explaining there was no possibility that Jesus was conceived by Joseph or any other man.
The genealogy is real people in history that God made a promise with and His promise is about to be fulfilled in Jesus the Messiah.
Emmanuel. God with US
RE: Jury selection...
We eventually got rif of the jury system here,it was found they be too dumb ...
RE: Jury selection...
Chat...I think it would be difficult to find a jury that has not heard, seen or read anything about Trump and others affiliated with him...
So it might be a tad bit difficult accomplishing the task of selecting people who are impartial...
I can imagine how hard it would be to endure the endless hours of listening to testimony/arguments and trying to stay awake...
I hear that someone tried to subpoena Stormy regarding the documentary that just came out...lol...
I thought Trix were for kids...
RE: Soaring gas prices
I want to add that I’m not even in San Francisco or Los Angeles. So I imagine it’s even higher in those cities. Yikes!
