Oh no! Muslims!

So… there was this man, his name is Jake Lang, and he led some march in Dearborn MI, called it Crusaders March for Jesus, but he is also against Muslims. I heard him in a video where he went on a rant inside the church, holding a cross, going off about Muslims, “invading” the US, as well as said things that were not accurate, and then proceeded to do the same thing in this city. Why was he even there? Why were all those people there? He uses Jesus’ name, BUT I was grieved. And in my praying, I don’t know why, but Matthew 19:13-15 came to mind. I think maybe bc no one thinks about the kids in all this, but also the last verse Jesus laid hands on them and walked away. What if this man had gone up there and brought food and water, offered blessings, prayer, TO the Muslims, instead of coming purely to try to get them angry? This is not the Jesus way!
It is pro American not to try to run off these Muslims. It is pro American not to keep Muslims from running for office. It is pro American to support their religious rights. So why is the presence of Muslims living in this country being seen as Anti American?

How do you fit on at your church?

I am Independent, left leaning socially and right leaning morally, and I just don’t know how to fit in with my church that seems to mostly be republicans, pro life, against gay marriage, pro Israel, scared of Muslims, scared of social reform, and ignorant of immigration. I am not one to sit in an echo chamber so I end up seeing both sides of an argument many times and make my position based on this. What this means is I’m often vocal about certain injustices that many in my church don’t realize are. My husband and I will be leading a home group. I waited a long time to be friends with people from my church on social media bc I am outspoken about things. I’m still a very nice person and don’t make face to face interactions political but when it comes to people being mistreated, I speak up. I feel like this becomes a hindrance to close relationships in my church which is sad, but I won’t pretend. What about you? It seems like for many the Republican Party is the party Christians gravitate to but if you don’t, how do you handle it?

The Wrong Kind of American

The interesting story of just one of many true patriots that have been driven out of public service.

When a country begins tormenting those who seek to serve its interests, it is no surprise or tragedy when it falls.

What should the government do about the healthcare crisis?

There’s been a lot of talk about Medicare for all in the US lately. And while I too love the idea, I have to wonder how feasible it is to do in a country of this size. It’s easy to say we need it. We do. It’s harder to make it happen.
Could another solution be the government regulates healthcare industry so they can’t be gouging people and each other the way they have? Bring the pricing back down to something more affordable. I’m sure Obamacare and the subsidies helped create this mess as well. I don’t see a lot of talk about how subsidies can actually increase prices.
What other solution is there? It is entirely greed that these private insurance companies brag about their profit while using AI to deny the insured.
My son was paying $600 per month for his wife, along with a $3,500 yearly deductible. So when she finally needed to go see a doctor, she couldn’t get the help she needed, bc the breathing test was going to be $800. That’s outrageous and it’s an outrage.

In all 50 states, it's murder if a preemie is deliberately killed by a doctor, but a protected "right" if that exact same late-term child is killed before being born.

First off, a late-term child can be born. So, late-term abortion is unnecessary. Yet late-term abortion is legal in all states (and DC).

In these states, there are no restrictions on late-term abortions, well into viability: Alaska, Colorado, District of Columbia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont. Again, they can be killed for any reason, or no reason.

These states allow late-term abortion if the mother's life is threatened: Idaho, Michigan, Rhode Island.

These states allow abortion if the mother's health (not life) is threatened, even if it's not her "physical" health. In that case, mental health has been used as an excuse for abortion: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Virginia, and Washington

Other states allow it if her physical health is threatened, even if it doesn't threaten her life. So, even if her life is not in danger, the child can still be killed: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Added up, that is 51. So, all states, plus Washington DC.

Also, Arkansas and Utah allow to kill the late-term (viable) children of rape or incest victims. And other states have laws allowing late-term abortion for fetal abnormalities.

Even our strictest states have made late-term abortion legal. That's how far we've gone in legalizing abortion. We are not even close to banning abortion in this country.

(This post relies heavily on a report by World Population Review.)

MAGA: The American Antichrist

https://theamericanantichrist.com

It is my assertion that MAGA represents the current GOP manifestation of an antichristian pattern that traces its history from Satan’s Fall as depicted from the Church Fathers understanding, to Jesus’ crucifixion, through theological justification for slavery, up to this current iteration of the apotheosis of the narcissistic ego. This pattern which the book calls The American Antichrist, is a diagnosable disease defined by the letters of John, Augustine’s superbia, and cognitive neuroscience as a direct inversion of Christ’s teachings point for point in a demonstrably visual way. Christism becomes the term that describes an Antichrist movement that inverts Jesus’s doctrine in full, point for point in a full eclipse subverting every value Christ professed while leveraging the language of Christ.

Live updates: Trump threatens to bomb US ally Oman as Iran agreement expires

>“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Trey Yingst.

>Trump’s comments come as the 60-day window for peace talks between the US and Iran, agreed to in June, closed Monday without any concrete plans announced for the war to end. Meanwhile, Iran said Monday that its talks with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz are complex but continuing.

>This isn’t the first time Trump has threatened Oman, which is a US ally. At a Cabinet meeting in May, the president said: “Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow ‘em up.”

Will he do so? To me, it's doubtful. But what a state we're in where this is just your average Monday with the President threatening to bomb another country.

Trump's Statement on North Korea

"Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, “No thanks!” Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

How can a parent be pro-abortion?

I find it really sad and disgusting. Giving birth to a child is probably the happiest they ever been, changing there life forever. How can someone look back on that and go o ya people should be able to kill there unborn babies. Or think if I was very poor I wouldn't have gave birth to my kid and not think grateful they didn't after? It just doesn't make any sense, its so horrible.

  3. Reasonable path to citizenship for hard working, non criminal immigrants

  4. Strict separation of church and state

Trump's Great Escape- a tale of two planes

I don't expect this will become a weekly feature, but it is the second week in a row we've gotten a grimly hilarious story from the Trump administration.

Remember that old Simpsons episode where Lisa is chosen by the government to escape a dying earth, and the official informs her that she can only bring one parent along and has to choose which one? The official expects it will be a difficult choice, but Lisa quickly selects her mom before the official even completes his sentence.

Well, something similar happened on Trump's return from a NATO summit in Turkey. On the day he was scheduled to leave, Israel passed along a warning that Iran was targeting Trump's plane in an assassination attempt. To protect Trump, his security detail had him seen entering Air Force One, and then smuggled him and a few select individuals out to a different plane which he used to slink back to the States. Air Force One meanwhile took off as if everything was normal, with the vast majority of those on board none the wiser to the threat. It wasn't until a month later that reporting by the New York Times revealed the switcheroo and that the passengers had served as unknowing decoys to any Iranian threat- they could of course have easily held AFO on the ground until the president was clear. This caused many who were unwittingly and unwillingly conscripted into the line of fire to complain; it is widely speculated that this revealed threat to her life strongly influenced Kayleigh McEnany's sudden decision to step down.

But I'm not here to talk about any of that. To me it's much more interesting, and of course much funnier, to examine who got to travel with Mr. Trump on the safe plane, and who got stuck playing bait. You see, there was limited space on the catering truck used to exfiltrate Mr. Trump, so he could only select a few individuals to go with him. So what luminaries made the cut? Two names stood out that you might have heard of. The first is Dan Scavino, whose only discernable talent is that he made a good impression on Mr. Trump while serving as his golf caddie, and subsequently used that connection to rise up the ranks at Mar-a-Lago and eventually the White House. He now holds the ultra-important job of manager of POTUS's social media accounts. The second is Natalie Harp, who is better known in politics as the "human printer". She earned the sobriquet because her entire job, as far as anyone can tell, is to carry a portable printer wherever the president goes, which she uses to print out news stories, social media posts, etc. favorable to Mr. Trump for him to read whenever the poor, embattled president needs his spirits lifted- the president famously prefers physical over digital media, as those in charge of the President's Daily Brief quickly discovered. So yup, Team Trump decided that the most critical people to save included Trump's caddie and his personal hype (wo)man, as opposed to say, Secretary of State Marco Rubio or Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who were stuck riding Air Force One.

American intelligence agencies have since been unable to corroborate the threat to Trump and judged the warning as "low confidence", so I guess we can all thank Bibi for a glimpse into who Trump truly values in his inner circle.

Coda with actual politics: you might also vaguely recall that the president already had to switch planes once on that trip, since the golden plane given to him by the Qataris did not carry the full suite of countermeasures featured on regular Air Force One. This is despite us, the taxpayer, spending almost a billion dollars renovating the plane. Oh, and did I mention that this plane, which again our taxes spent nearly a billion dollars renovating, will be kept by Trump when he leaves office? AND let us not forget that when reporters revealed that the golden plane couldn't make the grade, DoJ decided an appropriate response was to subpoena bunch of reporters because it made them look bad, which they then had to drop when a judge questioned their validity. Awesome.

Is Donald Trump's birth during a Lunar Eclipse a bad sign for Israel?

Donald Trump was born June 14, 1946 during a lunar eclipse/Blood Moon that could be seen rising on the horizon from Jerusalem, aka God's appointed holy land stated throughout the Bible. This happened (700) days before Israel was reborn as a nation in 1948 after nearly 2000 years. More detailed information with birth certificate and Astronomy software. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb615pYqZLY

Eclipsed at birth: Donald Trump was born on Total Lunar Eclipse. Will Blood Moon affect his fortunes and future? (wionews.com)

Lunar Eclipse Considered a Bad Sign

  • A Blessing for a Lunar or Solar Eclipse? - Chabad.org “There are special blessings that we make whenever we witness particularly wondrous natural phenomena. Eclipses, however, are not listed among the wonders for which we make a blessing. The Talmud tells us that a solar eclipse is a bad omen for the entire world, which runs according to the solar calendar, and a lunar eclipse is considered a bad sign for the Jewish nation, who calculate the duration of months according to the cycles of the moon.”
  • End time Astronomical Signs | Astronomy in the Bible | Facts about Israel "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;" Luke 21:25 "The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.” Acts 2:20.

Solar eclipses surround Donald Trump's presidency

  • Jonah & the Eclipse of Ancient Nineveh | My WordPress (epicarchaeology.org) "Over 2700 years ago another eclipse appeared over the skies of ancient Assyria, and it may have played a key role in the ancient city of Nineveh’s turn to God in repentance. If the historical and astronomical calculations are correct, it means that the eclipse occurred when Assyria was in a time of national upheaval and internal turmoil.” "In addition [to being in political upheaval], plague and famine struck repeatedly until the empire was left impoverished and in total disorder."
  • What is the significance of the city of Nineveh in the Bible? (GotQuestions.org) "Nineveh is well-known as the place where the prophet Jonah was sent by God to preach: "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me."(Jonah 1:2)"
