RE: How Trump is following Hitlers playbook
Trump is an autocrat wannabe.
THE NEXT JAMES BOND?
Critics choice of the best Bond film is, Goldfinger, containing Bonds famous request, "A Martini. Shaken not stirred."THE DULCE AIR BASE
GermanspitzThanks for info. Something strange just happened. I turned on the TV, and a programme appeared showing the Dulce base. It was a UFO hunter episode. What a strange thing to happen. Maybe I'm psychic.
RE: UK & USA ELECTIONS THIS YEAR. UKRAINE?
Not just Ukraine but the U.S. and the U.K.
UK & USA ELECTIONS THIS YEAR. UKRAINE?
It looks like Putin is trying to show that Ukraine had something to do with the Moscow terrorist attack by stating that those captured were heading for Ukraine. It would suit his agenda to stir up anti Ukraine feelings amongst the Russian population.FLAGS.
Do flags signify ownership? Are they provocative? Whenever there is conflict, there is a flag. Even on the moon a flag is placed. Does that make a statement. This is ours.We are conquerors. We are the best. Our country is the greatest.Would it be better to stop flying flags?
RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
DaphneHow can wearing a head covering be man made and religious? Which one is it? If the woman accepts the religious belief, then she wears a hair covering and accepts the reason behind it, which is to not be appealing to men. Then she applies make up to make herself as attractive as possible. A contradiction, yes?
What's the point of going to a hair salon and then covering your hair up?
RE: RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING
Daphne... yes, he needs a different lens. Just as those, primarily women, enslaved by ridiculous religious restrictions, this woman was not allowed to be herself. Finding a man is not the answer, she must first find herself..We freed a slave from a Russian village and took her to the city.
You can see her self confidence increase as she's trying on clothes. She had really opened up by the time they got to doing hair and makeup. She really does look beautiful and elegant after her transformation..
RE: The USA bannana republic.
I have no doubt that some politicians cheat and lie but Trump takes the so called proverbial cake...
A man with no scruples that is willing to sell everyone out for his own gain...I wonder what all his 'friends' think of him as they rot in prison meanwhile he is free to do more damage...
I see Biden as a lesser threat and has no problems with working with the opposition and he appears sane despite some backtalk about his mental fitness regarding his age...
Trump (it appears) is just batshit crazy and it will be hard for his supporters to pretend everything is fine regarding his current state of mind...that is just my opinion and will wait and see what transpires next...
Take note...Melania has already secured new financial conditions regarding her prenuptial agreement including her son's financial trust...where is Ivanka...not involved with his campaign and trying to steer clear of his many litigations while Trump's sons seem to be cannon fodder...
Not one his billionaire friends are willing to aid in his financial snafus probably due to his history of non-payment not to mention his inability to stop twitter blabbing in regards to having money to pay but does not want to despite his lawyer trying to show his inability to pay...a slap in the face to his legal team...Does America need this soap opera to continue?...

]It's going to teach us the kind of questions that we need to ask if we're going to seriously study scripture and we're going to learn how to navigate through a difficult text. You know, when you join a sports team as a kid, all everybody wants to do is just play right. You join the basketball team. All you want to do is play basketball. You join the soccer team. All you want to do is play soccer. Nobody wants to go over the mechanics of how to take a shot.Nobody wants to get in a line. And the coach says, OK, now put your arm at a 90 degree angle, put your respect, get three fingers spread on the ball.
Nobody wants to do that. Nobody wants to learn the principles behind a three man weave this one to play.
But we all understand that that sort of stuff is foundational to becoming an effective player. Similarly, you can have fun studying the Bible from scratch. You can pick it up, you can read it, and you'll be blessed, you will grow in your relationship with the Lord. Absolutely. But if you want to study the scripture at a deeper level than you're going to need to wrestle with some of the types of issues that we're going to look at today.
So let's start by talking about a few key principles for studying scripture. These are not exhaustive. They're just a few that are going to help us with this and many other texts. Firstly, as you study the Bible, you're going to encounter.
Scripture that you cannot understand at first reading or find offensive, can you say amen to that, that it just happens, right? It happens.
And when it does, I want to encourage you to do this as a habit.
I have a journal, a spiritual journal of some kind. Write down the verses in question, write down the date, write down your issues and your questions and your concerns, and then pray about it.
Pray about it. Ask the Lord to lead you to an answer, then read some good Bible commentaries, listen to some different preachers, preach on that text.
And you know what? God will lead you to an answer. It may be days, it may take decades, but I can promise you he will be faithful to give you peace about the issue one way or another. And when you find that peace, when you find that answer, you'll be able to go back in that journal and write the date that the issue became settled for you.
And you will be so blessed as over time you build this journal that tracks God's faithfulness in answering your questions about scripture.
Now, why don't we just give up when we encounter something in scripture that we don't fully understand? Because there's more than enough that we do understand, and the part that we do understand clearly reveals to us a loving and good heavenly father. And so where we don't yet understand. We have faith in the goodness of God.
That one day we will we fill that gap between the question and the answer with faith, because we know enough, we know the character of our heavenly father, let me tell you something about the truth.
The truth can handle your questions. Do you know that the truth can handle your questions when something is genuinely true, it can hold up to scrutiny. And this is why it's so dangerous that as a culture, we're starting to exhibit this belief that conversation and questions should just be shut down and questioning should be forbidden when it comes to certain topics. This is true. We've established it. No more questions. Let me say it again.
The truth never needs to be protected from questions because it has nothing to fear from questions. Listen, we don't need to ban people from suggesting that the earth is flat. We need to do a better job of sharing why it is that we really, really sure that the earth is round, that's what we need to do.
The solution is not shutting down questions. The solution is providing better, clearer answers and evidence. It's laziness or at worst, cowardice to just say, no, we're shutting down the questions.

Introduction to the Book of the CovenantDate:10/11/20
Series: Exodu...Passage: Exodus 20:22-23:19
Speaker: Jeff Thompson
As we prepare to study a section of Exodus known as "The Book of the Covenant", Pastor Jeff shares challenges raised by scholars and walks us through some key concepts to keep in mind when studying Scripture.
And we're going to be getting into a very different kind of message today, we're getting into a section of scripture that has a lot of unique challenges. And so I have to spend a whole message getting you ready for that section of scripture. This is going to be a little bit like a seminary class, but it's going to be an opportunity to learn some valuable principles about how we approach studying the Bible. If you love the Bible or if you're new to the Bible, whatever it is, I'm probably going to say something that's going to make you feel uncomfortable today.
OK, don't cancel me before the message is over, OK? Don't get up in a grand show of disgust at my heresy. Wait and see where it's going. That's just a general good rule when you hear me teach. If you think I'm being heretical, just give me five minutes.
I'll bring it back. I'll get you back. So I just want to give you that heads up. The Book of the Covenant is the term used by scholars to refer to the section of scripture between Exodus, Chapter 20, verse 22, through Exodus, Chapter 23, verse 19.
And the term comes from Exodus 24 seven, which is on your outlines where we are told that Moses took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people.
This section of scripture describes civil wars that were followed by the Israelites in order that they might fulfill their covenant with the Lord, wherein they would be his people and he would be their God. In Chapter 19, we read about how the Israelites reached Mount Sinai and God spoke to Moses. The Lord revealed to him the offer of this covenant with Israel. And here's what happened in Exodus 19, also on your outlines. So Moses came and called for the elders of the people and laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him.
Then all the people answered together and said all that the Lord has spoken, we will do. That was part of the Covenant agreement. The official covenant ceremony is going to come up later, but that's the gist of it. They understood that part of being God's people would include living as God's people. Crazy thought, right? If you're going to call yourself the people of Iowa, you actually have to live in a way that reflects the fact that you're the people of Iowa.
A very obvious point, but one that to this day, a lot of people find very offensive. What do you mean?
Just because I call myself a Christian, I have to live a certain way. That's crazy. Is it? Is it, though? So write this down. The purpose of the Book of the Covenant was to help Israel apply the values of the Ten Commandments to everyday life.
Its purpose was to help Israel apply the values of the Ten Commandments to everyday life. That's the idea. The Ten Commandments speak to every area of life through the values behind them that can be translated to every area of life. Now, I need to let you know that among biblical scholars, the Book of the Covenant is highly controversial and debated for several reasons that I'm going to get into in a minute. And the reason we're going to spend some time talking about this stuff is, again, it's going to teach us some principles about how to study the Bible.
RE: Shopping in the dark ages.
Always enjoy your blogs Orzz, you sound like you come from a very nice stable family.Were you an only child? Lucky you, but you probably wished for brothers and sisters.
I was the oldest of 6 and wished I was an only child. That is how life goes.
Yes the good old days, except for medicine I miss some of those old days......
RE: Rico is not a crime
And seriously, this time I have to ask you are you playing dumb?You do know the discussion between the witness and AOC was about whether Hunter and his dad had done something illegal yes?
And she went techncal as an attempted deflection
in the most silly way- leaving a few jaws dropped.
RE: Rico is not a crime
No it's about the big buy.
RE: Rico is not a crime
Actually, this blog is about RICO.The title says "Rico is not a crime". No mention of Biden or Trump.
One Belt and Road Initiative growing stronger
Australia while Malcolm Turnbull was PM.
Australian Air-force bombed Syrian forces, they killed 60 out right and seriously wounded 110 others, so i dunno who to believe, previously it became clear US arms (John McClain images prove) were been channeled to ISI in Syria, and Syrian Oil was (is) been stolen by Saudi, Israel and America, so I've masked Arab comments in QR, which you can scan if you want
RE: Where is Kate Middleton
Apparently I did in post 52. My bad.
RE: FLAGS.
How many flags are on the Moon now and how does one mark its territory in space?RE: Where is Kate Middleton
I was not the first to break the news ,so I didn't own it.I made a separate blog so that those who wanted to see the video such as mermaidhair could watch it.
I'm not making an issue out of this you are ,and where did I say anything about you being offended.? If others post comments that annoy you that's not my problem. Take issue with them not me.
RE: FLAGS.
It is a way to establish territory.Humans have always had the need to declare MINE! Rally round the flag and all that. People are followers. Follow the leader. Follow that rag. Now there are more and more who don't. And in one way, that is good. Do not follow blindly.I have no interest in flags. Just symbols that show off claims.
What would humans do without ceremonies? How could they show off achievements? Between holidays and day of, people would have no excuse to party. Pomp and circumstance to prove you count more than others. BAH!
RE: Where is Kate Middleton
Well CelticWitch64. Me thinks one can both be disappointed about the royal familystendencies (as you were at the start of this blog) and still feel sorry for Kate when the truth comes out.
One does not exclude the other.
So of that reason I'm out.
Wait.. I mean.. of that reason I support you!
Where is Kate Middleton
And I second you on that Orz
Where is Kate Middleton
why don't you tell the truth and shame the devil, Spitz...you not only wanted to break the news, but you wanted to own it yourself, as well.
Had another person not of mentioned/uploaded the link here, I would not of either, there was no NEED to.
I'm not sure why you think I should feel offended?
but I assure you I'm not, having said that I am a little pissed off why you keep focusing more on the title of my blog, more so then what I've said to you in other comments.
But do you know what
forget about replying to that... your answer is not so important to me.
Apologies, if my lack of care, offends you
RE: Where is Kate Middleton
Princess Catherine..the world at her feet. Beauty, a husband who loves her, family, wealth and the future to be Queen. And the same unfair blow as any gutter snipe..cancer.A note to those who believe wealth and power matter. I have a saying..rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief. You get the same six feet of dirt in your face.
I hope she makes it through. I hope to live to see her become Queen and the family grow up and grow old in love and comfort.
Where is Kate Middleton
you're first comment to me and you do so with an insult
right or wrong, my guess is its not your first time on the blogs.
I'm not repeating what I've already said on this blog nevertheless I stand by my opinion, its mine, which I'm entitled to, even more so now since the seriousness of kate's health was announced... The royals could of, should of protected her privacy better.
The USA bannana republic.
The Dems and libs are determined to stay in power even if they destroy this country. Hand out cash to illegals while citizens in need do without. Arrest a home owner who changes her house locks on a squatter and allow him to stay. Arrest shoplifters and muggers and let them go because they are special since they are an illegal. Allow illegals on line to tell others how to steal cars and homes and get away with it. Take parks and centers away from citizens to cater to illegals.The latest was the rush on the border. I see the guards had every right to open fire. So the next time the Japs invade or Hitler invades, we just say naughty and let them land?
Biden eliminated all controls we had and encouraged this invasion by the rest of the world. Young military age men more than anyone else. The easiest way to take over a country is by infiltrating from behind.
I like the comment I read...4 or 5 hogs can devour a human body in an hour. Perhaps we need to start owning pigs.
The cities are crying they are out of cash to hand out. The Feds should pay. How about we return to the way it was. No papers, load on a military transport and dump back to native country. In need...here is a sandwich and umbrella. Now out of my way. No credit cards, no hotels with room service, no special classes for kids who speak dozens of languages. You get what our poor get from Big Brother. A kick in the butt.
Trump is a jerk. So are 90% of politicians. The difference why we want him is because he doesn't play the DC game.
RE: Where is Kate Middleton
It was needed to allow people to hear for themselves what Kate had to say instead of all the supposition that has been on social media.Let's face it Celtic I only finished what you started , Better to read the truth than some of the crass comments some people posted.
Sorry if it offends you.
Where is Kate Middleton
And yet it is not given.Some around here ought to practice what they preach.
Bringing out another blog designed for more talk .... what are ye like
RE: How to raise $454 Million...
I mentioned before that politicians might use their power to introduce new laws for nefarious reasons.Take Brad Hoylman-Sigal, powerful NY Senator.
Check him out, the following is a synopsis from Wikipedia. Read about his Self Interest and Agenda driven legislation.
Brad Hoylman-Sigal is an American Democratic politician. First elected in 2012, Hoylman-Sigal represents the 47th District in the New York State Senate, covering much of the west side of Manhattan in New York City. He is chairman of the state senate Judiciary Committee.
Hoylman-Sigal was the only openly gay member of the New York State Senate.
After the 2018 midterm elections, Hoylman-Sigal was appointed Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. With a Democratic majority, Hoylman-Sigal passed multiple pieces of legislation including the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (or GENDA), and a ban on so-called 'gay conversion therapy.' Personal to him.
Hoylman-Sigal also sponsored the TRUST Act, which was passed by the state Senate.
The bill would allow certain Congressional committees to perform oversight by reviewing the New York State tax returns of senior government officials.
Members of Congress suggested this could allow Congressional committees to review Donald Trump's tax returns.
City & State, a New York-based political news organization, characterized Hoylman-Sigal as "the person behind state Senate’s progressive bills."
In early 2021, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill, sponsored by Hoylman-Sigal, to repeal New York's ban on Paid Gestational Surrogacy. This was personal for him.
In June 2021, the New York Senate passed the Adult Survivors Act (ASA), which was sponsored by Hoylman-Sigal and Assembly member Linda Rosenthal. The legislation was enacted: It unanimously passed the Senate in April 2022 and was signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul.
The bill established a one-year "lookback period" that allowed adult victims of sex abuse or sex crimes to bring civil lawsuits that were previously barred due to the statute of limitations.
The following week E. G. Carroll filed for damages under this Act.
The DOJ declined to pursue this case so Brad Hoylman-Sigal got to work on ASA.
Under the statute of Limitations legislation and tied to the Constitution, new legislation may not be introduced which would put at peril the rights of someone after the time limit for entering a prosecution has passed.
I thought Trump was going to go this route on the 'ASA case" which would have seen the outcome of that case and the following one reversed. But apparently not.
