    I cannot bring myself to trust

    Hello again! Good afternoon — I pray this finds you well. Please forgive the delay in replying. On my phone, I’m slower at formatting complete responses, and I also like to make sure I’m addressing at least the more pressing points raised. I’d hoped to post something helpful earlier while you...

    I cannot bring myself to trust

    Good morning, brother! Your persistence in seeking Christ through daily Bible reading, Dr. Jeremiah’s study notes, church, and online Bible study (post #23) is a beautiful testimony of the Spirit’s work in you (Philippians 2:13). Your breakthrough with Romans 4:25 is precious—Christ’s death...

    ICE Arrests 11 Iranian Nationals Amid Sleeper Cell Threat

    Our system isn’t perfect, but it's the best and most fair the world has ever seen. To claim it’s fundamentally unfair is to misunderstand what true unfairness looks like. We don’t release everyone just because there's a chance someone might be misunderstood. No—what we do is allow the system to...

    ICE Arrests 11 Iranian Nationals Amid Sleeper Cell Threat

    We should try and avoid looking at our neighbors with too much suspicion though. There's a lot of Iranian dissidents here too. We should allow the government to simply do their job. While there's a lot of fear right now, we don't need to allow that to change who we are as a people. That's...

    Iran Erupts: Crowds Burn US Flags and Swear to Ayatollah

    Not if he's just protesting. But when Hamas - an international terrorist organization -- calls him up and starts coordinating his protest activities to better align with their religious goals which are at enmity with American national security interest - even sign carrying takes on new meaning...

    What exactly do you think trump means by MIGA

    Theres a difference between reacting to that information as if we have the same situation and president today, and knowing these things happened in the past so being a little more cautious as a result. With a large and vocal part of the country wanting our president dead, jailed, impeached or...

    Iran Erupts: Crowds Burn US Flags and Swear to Ayatollah

    Yes. Foreign agents here to spread terrorist propaganda on college campuses is a danger to our national interest. It's not some American kid simply expressing an unpopular opinion. It's an enemy foreign agent propagandizing our children on US soil and attempting to influence our foreign policy...

    Iran Erupts: Crowds Burn US Flags and Swear to Ayatollah

    Gaza has been more than reasonable and Iran isn't Gaza, Iran isn't using human shields in front of their military sites. I at least give them that. They are bad, but at least aren't using their children for human shields and propaganda.

    What exactly do you think trump means by MIGA

    What response, Iran is now in the middle of a civil war, on top of the war with Israel. (There's on the ground fighting now in both the north and the south in Iran, between the Iranians and the regime as far as I can tell,). Khamenei's office has made no public statements in 24 hours now, and...

    What exactly do you think trump means by MIGA

    What does Saddam have to do with the topic? Sinxe the days of Saddam Hussein the United States has a completely different President, a mostly different Congress, a very different intelligence community (see the closing of USAID) and even a military that likewise, is not exactly the same. I'm...

    What exactly do you think trump means by MIGA

    We have radar and eyes on the sites, no boots. I believe eyes on the site showing what appears to be destruction is certainly more than we had in Iraq. US had planes physically fly over the sites, drop bombs, then we assessed damage. Real time. I believe that amount of fire power should be...

    What exactly do you think trump means by MIGA

    To make sure a tyrannical hyper-religious terrorist regime doesn't acquire nuclear weapons. Outside of that nothing that I know of. Getting Iran and Israel to peace would be nice. That circumstances has provided opportunity for the Iranian people is tangential, but I would imagine opportunity...

    What exactly do you think trump means by MIGA

    I'm not figuring on liberating anyone. We aren't in the business of regime change. If the Iranians want a different future they have to take it themselves, meaning they do have to want it.

    What exactly do you think trump means by MIGA

    Most of the leaders are recently deceased, the Iranian military are defecting to the prince and Khamenei has cancer and won't come out of his bunker and last I heard didn't even have medication. If Iranians are going to get their freedom back exactly right now is the window of opportunity they...

    Iran Erupts: Crowds Burn US Flags and Swear to Ayatollah

    There was something about the death of the family of 4 that seems to have set Israel off. And in the world of film we saw footage. They retaliated. I don't like that they did, they should have waited and not reacted and seen what Khamenei did next. But because I disagree with the reaction...

    Trump says Israel, Iran agree to 'Complete and Total CEASEFIRE': Live updates

    We didn't bomb Irans nuclear facilities to assist with the current Israel/Iran conflict, though it would have been a cool bonus, but only to remove their nuclear weapons capabilities. We were specific in that.

    What exactly do you think trump means by MIGA

    Make Iran great again. Which means for the Iranian people to refocus on what is good for the Iranian people writ large, and do that governmentally. It's what MAGA means, replacing the A with an I for the different country. It will look different for each people, because each people are...

    Trump says Israel, Iran agree to 'Complete and Total CEASEFIRE': Live updates

    I'm sorry I have retracted my posts your correct. War is still on, any ceasefire is fully collapsed. I probably shouldn't talk before coffee. I apologize.

    Iran Erupts: Crowds Burn US Flags and Swear to Ayatollah

    Yeah I'm just seeing that. Apparently Iran broke the deal and Israel is back to bombing Tehran. Sigh. I don't know why we can't just have peace. One would think just living would be cool, and letting ones neighbors do so too. It's just not complicated.

    Trump says Israel, Iran agree to 'Complete and Total CEASEFIRE': Live updates

    They had 12 hours to cease any ongoing operations that were already ongoing. After the 12 hours is up, see if they stop... We were allowing for some things that couldn't be stopped prior to the windows closing due to disruptions in communication etc.
