@mdg650hawk.bsky.social it's almost a certainty they'll try to close the borders @ some point. But I urgently need a serious estimate of how soon anybody thinks that will happen. Do you have a guess?

The average American, when the top 1% is filtered out, makes $35,000 a year. Not as a bonus, just as their entire salary.

Either way; these misguided people suck. Paul's writings (which forbid many things the Christ was silent on), suck. And the depth of anti-christlikeness the church has become, sucks. I became a kinder, more loving & more accepting person when I left the church.

That 1 verse says, "God as destined some to accept Salvation & some not to."

The NLB, which had 90 biblical scholars working on it says,
"God offers salvation to every1 through Christ, but he knows all along who will accept it & who won't."

Entirely different idea from the first translation.

And that whole predestination thing is based on ONE verse of scripture in Paul's writings. Which I discount Paul because he never was in the presence of Christ and also because modern churches treat his teachings as if they were as important as those of Christ.
The Christ was silent on many things.

Ex-vangelical here.
The churches I was in believed that we were to evangelize, because those who didn't accept the sacrifice of Christ would be damned to an eternity in Hell, but as long as they drew breath, they were human and eligible for salvation.

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

The Griffin List A list of 60,273 North Carolina voters – these are registered voters who showed ID to early vote in the November 2024 election – whose votes Jefferson Griffin wants to not be counted. ...

Gonna try to post this link every day until the North Carolina State Supreme Court election is resolved.

We need to make sure every North Carolina voter on 'The Griffin List' is made aware that the NC GOP is trying to throw out their legally-cast ballot.

1) The US Constitution grants the tariff power to Congress. Although the Supreme Court has held that Congress has wide latitude to delegate tariff authority to the President, Congress is ultimately responsible for determining what tariff authorities

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Travon Free (@Travon

If your response to yesterday’s millions of people marching is that they were all paid operatives…you’re desperate, deluded, and scared.

And lying.

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

🚨 Hey, North Carolina!

Please search this list to see if you - or others you know - have been singled out by Jefferson Griffin.

If you're one of the 60,000+ voters on this list, please TAKE ACTION. Call your county BOE ASAP! Then tell Griffin to shove it! #RiggsWon

I've heard a lot of Ds give Rs the pass for not criticizing or commenting 'publicly' on the disasters of the admin. I wish they wouldn't. I wish they'd take the Booker tack and start asking people to line up, not by Right or Left...but by Right or Wrong.
