    Good Guy with a Gun Prevents Teen from Returning Malfunctioning Airsoft Pistol to Sporting Goods Store

    I looked the story up but it lacks lots of details. So better to wait for all the evidence as to the "returning the gun story" and the potential criminal history of the three juveniles. Why would anyone return a gun and not place it in a bag? No doubt the shooting is not justified, but a 2...

    RNC makes plans for trump to accept nomination from prison

    Sure they would ramp up security for Trump, the Secret Service already has plans for that. But if Trump goes to jail he should get no special treatment. Perhaps he can call the convention collect if it is the right time for a phone call and the number is one of the fifteen on his list. Note he...

    Good Reasons to Trust a Courtroom, Over a Scientific Laboratory

    Too bad the article does not discuss lying witnesses, unethical lawyers, evidence that is forbidden to be introduced, judges bias in all the decision-making and juries that are quite fickle. Also, in science testing is reproduced by others to verify findings. To do that in a courtroom you would...

    Rep. Paul Gosar introduces legislation creating $500 Trump bill

    I guess if I had to choose a moral President with bad policies versus a immoral President with good policies, I might choose the latter. Sadly, there are few moral Presidents with good policies. Truman perhaps the closest in the last 100 years though some would disagree since he dropped the atom...

    Fasting & Feeling Pointless.

    I pray you do find balance. God leads with peace and fasting can become like a "work" that you have to use to earn God's love. Sensitive people can especially feel like they have not done enough but in reality, the work is done, we just rest and through God's grace we can learn to serve where...

    Rep. Paul Gosar introduces legislation creating $500 Trump bill

    We do need a 500 dollar bill (a thousand too) since it might take one to buy a tank of gas. As to the penny it is a waste of money to even coin. I good law would make pennies owed at checkout go straight to Social Security.

    MTG Introduced Amendment to Defund NATO; 46 House Republicans vote for it

    Even those nations that only give 1% of their budget to a common cause is better than nothing. Many are doing great to ramp up their spending. Ditching NATO, Ukraine or Israel, would be terrible policies. I do thank God for Speaker Johnson. Greene is almost as bad as members of the "squad."...

    Republicans Need to DITCH tTheir Conspiracy Theories

    I travel a lot and look at visas sometimes. The Bahamas, and other island nations are attractive. Brazil also is easy for a time, I think one year with an extension. The problem is getting income unless you can work online, are rich, or retired. If Trump is elected, it seems OK to me unless he...

    Republicans Need to DITCH tTheir Conspiracy Theories

    I'd give it 50/50 for the next year. It has been escalating on four fronts. Israel, Ukraine, are already hot, Philippines and Taiwan both getting closer. Ukraine neighbors too are tense. What is to stop the progression?

    Republicans Need to DITCH tTheir Conspiracy Theories

    Seems rather harsh on Trump. In my thinking only Truman and JFK were pretty honest. The rest have scandals of one sort or another. Clinton had the most, but since they were mostly personal he did still make a good President. I would just say that the U.S. Constitution will hold the line for...

    Fasting & Feeling Pointless.

    You might read Kenneth Hagin's "commonsense guide to fasting" You can find a free pdf for it, though some sites charge. He suggests that there are very few times when one goes over 3 days as three are few examples of this in the bible. On the more extreme side though Pastor Culberson of...

    When Trump appeals, why should he win?

    True, but a prosecutor that is creative and fabricates charges in complicated ways and gets it overturned on appeal is equally "normal."

    A better and updated SCOTUS

    Yews, but even if they decide to hear one case nd rule a certain way. What prevents the second panel from hearing a similar case a year later and all of a sudden you have a divided Supreme Court. Suppose panel A decides to limit gun rights in year one a decision that is 4 and 3? In year 2, The...

    When Trump appeals, why should he win?

    Yes, thanks for letting me clarify. I cite two cases that Trump lost both with very unique characteristics. The largest civil one (so far) and the criminal one where he was convicted.

    What about this Peace Plan?

    They could try but it seems unlikely since both are escalating tensions between each other. It seems like we are on the edge of WWIII though I hope I am wrong.
