The old Democrat is coming out in Trump. Vance wouldn't have touched this (marijuana) with a ten foot pole.

I find this ironic. One accusation against Biden was that a stimulus program that he supported caused inflation. Now Trump wants to do it.

I find it hypocritical. In reality, our week economy needs stimulus ever since 2008. COVID unemployment and now growing AI unemployment, and the country's unemployment has been trending upward since 2023, might require some form of UBS, or the economy implode.

Is that why you don't like Bernie and his crowd? Because they don't like liberal Democrats?

Not familiar with that much of their album material,

They had a some big hits in the 1980s. Eg. You're the Inspiration, Hard to say I'm sorry, Will you still love me.

Thoughts on the band?

Hendrix said Terry Kath is one of the best guitarist he has seen.

I could never applaud their insubordination, it's a terrible, terrible mindset to have.

They were not insubordinate. Look at the current situation.

Prosecutor: Based on my experience, we will not be able to secure a conviction. That is the standard for bringing a case. Therefore I'm not pursuing this case.

Trump: I don't care about your standards! You're fired!

MAGA loyalist: Grand jury, grand jury, give us an indictment, do!

Grand jury: Nope.

I am not sure what you mean "neither do you". Neither do I show how the ancients gained their knowledge. My point was not how exactly the ancients gained their knowledge.

But that because we don't know and because it may have been gained in a different and alternative way to the way in which material science demands it (is the very dogmatic epistemics being pushed over ancients and alternative knowledge) that material sciences demand. Which dismisses the possibility of advanced and alternative knowledge before its investigated.

This is a metaphysical belief and not science. If it was the truth that we do not know how the ancients gained their knowledge. Then people should be saying "we don't know", "it could be there is advanced alternative knowledge because we don't know"

Therefore material scientists would have to admit that the possibility of alternative advanced knowledge is real. They may have gained their knowledge by means of some other paradigm worldview that material sciences cannot know themselves.

So its more about the epistemic and metaphysical neutrality and non bias towards any specific way of knowing that is the point and issue. If as material and atheistic naturalists using material processes of sciences to dismiss all other ways of knowling as unreal. Then thats dogma and imposing an epistemic rule of how we should know reality over all others.

So really as I am open to all ways of knowing this is really the only reasonable position to take. You can demand all the peer review science you want but this is never going to verify that there is not alternative and advanced knowledge and that throughout our history this knowledge was present.

We've been through all of this before. Yes, it's possible that Egyptians used some alternative technologies not learned in the usual way by trial and error. So what? All you are really trying to prove is that scientists are really atheists in drag because they don't buy in to your weird take on Christian theology. Nobody cares any more.

Hey everyone! It has been a long time since I posted here...to be honest I'm not sure where this post would "fit" into a listed category.

-My wife and I were married October of 2022 after dating for 5 years. 6 months into the marriage my wife left to stay at her parents abruptly - in that time the Bible became weaponized against me about the "roles of the husband", and it wasn't until January of this year I found out that she had cheated during that time.

-Now, on the flip side...earlier this year I sinned and had an affair with another woman. It was during this time when my wife came clean about her affair and even stated "she did not have to come clean if I didn't do what I did."

-November 7 of this year my wife left again to stay at her parents. In this time recently she has spewed nothing but lies about me to everyone she knows.

- December 17 my wife agreed to come home as long as her "list" of items she requested be completed. This was deleting social media, cutting off all friendships, turning on cameras around the house, and reading the bible and taking charge with bible studies for the family.

I have to add that there are MANY more complexities involved here. The birth of our son after she returned home (which was brought into question from her infidelity, and I even felt entrapped with). The complete character change of my wife who has become vindictive, condescending, and manipulative. The needed psychiatric and mental help needed for my wife (self mutilation, possible bipolar issues). The hardness against her parents. The distrust and hardness for her because of her job as a Paramedic. The lack of trust on BOTH sides for us in literally anything...the list goes on.
We have gone to 3 marriage counselors, our pastor, and even a christian friend who went through a similar situation with his wife. My faith itself has been split because the churches here (South Carolina) believe that the husband is responsible for his wife's shortcomings to the point of her even cheating. This has caused me so much mental and physical anguish because I feel as if I'm being 100% blamed for all of her issues.

I will be honest I have consulted with an attorney already - and I stopped myself from filing because I still do have a faint hope. I am to the point I can't imagine a future anymore with her. I can't even see past 1 week...

Where do I go from here? Am I just staying because this is the "normal" that I have become used to? I have been praying every day, reading the Bible and asking God to give me some type of guidance. Is his guidance telling me to continue with a divorce? According to the churches here, Divorce is NOT an option and should not even be considered.

Just like in Jesus' day when He came to Israel. The people would not believe the scriptures that spoke about Jesus and His coming, that Jesus was who He said He was. They instead looked to the ruling authorities to tell them what to believe.
Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”

Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

So today people of christianity will not look to the scriptures to tell them about God's creation. But instead they look to science and sadly they try to make The Bible line up with science.

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan found guilty of felony obstruction

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of a felony count of obstructing federal agents seeking to make an immigration arrest outside her courtroom, a precedent-setting case that has been closely watched nationally and drawn passionate protests.

A jury of seven men and five women deliberated more than six hours before delivering a split verdict. They found the judge not guilty on a lesser misdemeanor charge of concealing a wanted person.

Whether white people are advantaged depends on location, the specific individuals involved, and what you mean by institutionally. In the US and many other places, people are treated equally under the law regardless of race. In practice, however, minorities may face cultural disadvantages. I'd argue that the problems are more cultural than institutional, but the situation is complex.

For instance, black people are sometimes pulled over for being black. When that happens, it's wrong. The "institution" explicitly states that skin color should not matter, but personal and cultural biases among police officers can sometimes lead to more black people being pulled over. Again, depending on the individuals involved.

Unprecedented errors are eroding the credibility of Trump's Justice Department

Early in the year, the talk in the threads went something like this:

Me: He's firing experienced and competent people and replacing them with people whose only qualifications are loyalty to Trump!

Them: Why shouldn't the government be entirely composed of people who share his vision?

Now we see.

Yes, the freedom and liberty side lost.

They are not. This problems in Llano County really got started when the County Commissioners dissolved the previous board and appointed a new one made up of the pecksniffs.

In December 2021, the Llano County Commissioners Court, an elected governing body of the county, voted to close the library for three days to check the shelves for "inappropriate" books, however "inappropriate" was not defined, court documents show.

The Commissioners Court also voted to suspend access to the library's online resources and dissolve the existing library advisory board, according to court documents.

Instead, a new advisory board was created and members of the community group that advocated for the book removals were appointed to it, according to the court order.

Book ban battle threatens Texas library system's fate

Book bans in Llano County, Texas prompted a lawsuit that forced books back on the shelf. Local officials are considering closing the library system's doors.

Correct. They are voted on by people who don't then have to approve of every decision the board makes. "We, the people" haven't abandoned their right to chose books for the library, merely delegated it.

Sure, just look around for nations using the name of Christ to justify conquest and exploitation. A Christian nation based on the Gospel rather than "biblical values" would have to call itself something else.

That applies to someone who agrees that an atrocity took place and is supporting it. It does not apply to someone who does not at this time accept that interpretation of events.

How about we wait until it's been proven in a court of law that immoral conduct, murder and war crimes took place. That is after all what our law and justice system demands.

OK, and then you can call the verdict "lawfare" and denounce it as a left-wing plot.

President Trump Touts Massive First Year Wins in Primetime Address

I believe the Democrats will try and damage the economy by shutting down the government again.

....na, Trump doesn't need any assistance from the Democrats to damage the economy and tax American businesses and consumers. He still believes tariffs are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

"Much of this success has been accomplished by tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs, which for many decades have been used successfully by other countries against us, but not anymore."

....and where can I sign up to be paid to take a drug?

"I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations, which were taken advantage of our country for many decades to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as 400, 500 and even 600 percent."
