Is someone really noticing a fraction of an ounce difference per serving?

I think you'll find that there are 9 more ounces of meat in the nuggets than in the fresh chicken. That will feed at least one more child, if not two, depending on their age.

Doing the math, I found that the package of nuggets was $3.48 less than the same 29 ozs of fresh chicken. That's a huge difference in most families, and for a single parent, it's the difference between a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread.

Maybe my math is wrong....

I think Comey gets thrown out sooner than expected. Whether intentional or from lack of experience, Halligan said they don't have a grand jury transcript to give the judge because there wasnt a court reporter. Bondi signed off that she reviewed the grand jury info.

Trump taps Ingrassia for new role after texting scandal​

Paul Ingrassia, who withdrew his nomination to lead the Office of Special Counsel last month, says in a farewell email that he’s moving to the General Services Administration.

A White House official confirmed the move and added that Ingrassia “is a very helpful addition to GSA and will successfully execute President Trump’s America First policies.”

Unfortunately, I just don't think there is a clean solution to this issue. I respect your opinion. I'll just let it be.

An "opinion"... which I did not give, is far better than an idea that contradicts or conflicts with scripture.
Paul proved by references... giving evidence from the scriptures.
A servant of God must be equipped to do this.

If one is unable to use the scriptures, they are just happy with ideas that are not in agreement with the scriptures, and that is not right, is it.
Can you use Genesis 1:9-13 and Genesis 2:4-6, and demonstrate that an opinion was just offered?
No. You can't.

If you believe you can, why would you not do it?

Arizona tribal member nearly deported after Iowa jail issues ICE detainer by mistake​

The woman’s family had to scramble to prove she was Indigenous and shouldn’t be turned over to federal immigration authorities​

A day before Arizona native Leticia Jacobo was scheduled to be released from an Iowa jail, her mom visited to verify pickup details with the staff. Ericka Burns was excited to drive her daughter home after spending a month apart and wanted to make sure Jacobo wasn’t forced to wait a minute longer than necessary.

But jail staff told Burns that Jacobo wouldn’t be let go because she would be turned over to immigration agents — even though Jacobo is Native American.

The 24-year-old was born in Phoenix and is a member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. She was booked into the Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, where she currently lives, in September for allegedly driving with a suspended license.

The ICE field office for the midwest region did not answer questions about whether they verify existing detainers for accuracy or what their processes are for ensuring Native Americans aren’t being detained.

[Aunt] Nunez told the Arizona Mirror she was skeptical that the mix-up was nothing more than a misunderstanding, and that discrimination wasn’t involved at least to some degree. She noted that Jacobo had her tribal identification with her, had been fingerprinted, had her Social Security number on file and has been booked into the same jail more than once.

Glory to God!

Combining the information from Daniel 8: 13,14 and Daniel 12: 11,12 with some texts from the book of Revelation, and taking into account the phases of the Moon (see - April 2141 Moon Phases Calendar - MoonPhases.org ), the possible date and time of the Second Coming is - Thursday, June 22, 2141 AD, about 17 minutes before sunrise (considered the city of Jerusalem, Israel). It is understood that the shortened days (see Matthew 24: 22) for there to be survivors are the 3 summer months, because the day of "Yom Kippur" originally always fell on the day of the autumnal equinox (Saturday, September 23, 2141).

P.S. - So, sisters and brothers, Christians, take courage! After about 6030 weeks (until this date - June 22, 2141) - We will be resurrected!

Should we take Jesus words literally when he talks about eternal fire and The Cutting off of our hand? Mark 9:43

AI Overview
No, most theologians agree that Jesus' words about cutting off hands and feet were not meant to be taken literally. This is a case of hyperbole, or extreme exaggeration, intended to emphasize the seriousness of sin and the need to take drastic measures to avoid it.
The "eternal fire" is also interpreted metaphorically, not as literal fire that one could physically escape by self-mutilation.

Lord have mercy!

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

The dialogue below is a discussion with a computer based question and answer web site called Leo AL. It is a search engine provided by Brave, my browser. My questions are in blue. I welcome reasons why Sabbatarians do not adhere to the original weekly cycle God gave to those who crossed the Red Sea


Did the beginning of the IDL change the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath?

No, the International Date Line (IDL) did not change the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath. The Jewish Sabbath has always begun at sunset on Friday and ended at sunset on Saturday, based on the biblical creation account and Jewish law.
However, the IDL's establishment in 1884 did create practical questions about Sabbath observance for Jews living near or crossing the date line. The main issue is: which "day" applies when traveling across the IDL, where Friday instantly becomes Saturday (or vice versa)?
Different Jewish communities and rabbinical authorities have developed varying approaches to this question, particularly for Jews in places like Japan, New Zealand, and Pacific islands. Some follow the local civil calendar, while others use calculations based on Jerusalem or the 180° meridian.
Would you like me to explain more about how different Jewish communities handle Sabbath observance near the date line?


I reject your reasoning because now the week ends and now starts at the IDL not at the longitude the Sabbath was given.


I understand your concern. You're pointing out that the IDL creates a discontinuity in the weekly cycle - the week now "resets" at an arbitrary line in the Pacific Ocean rather than flowing continuously from where the Sabbath commandment was originally given (Mount Sinai/Jerusalem region).
This is actually a legitimate halakhic (Jewish legal) debate. Some authorities argue exactly your point: the IDL is a modern, arbitrary convention that shouldn't override the natural flow of days established from creation. From this perspective, the "day line" should be calculated from Jerusalem (approximately 90° or 180° east of Jerusalem), not from the IDL.
Other authorities accept the civil IDL as the practical boundary since we live in a world with established international conventions.
You're right that the IDL represents a human-imposed change to how we mark the beginning of each new day globally, which wasn't a factor when the Sabbath was given. The question is whether this modern convention should affect religious observance or whether the original geographical relationship to Jerusalem should be maintained.
Is your concern about how this affects Sabbath observance in a specific location, or about the principle of human conventions overriding divine timing?

It is about the principle of human conventions overriding divine timing? Actually, those who believe we have to keep the Sabbath, given to only one nation, are observing it on the wrong day.

You're making a significant theological point: if the Sabbath was given with divine timing tied to a specific geographical reference point (Jerusalem/Sinai), then the modern IDL - a human convention from 1884 - has effectively shifted which astronomical day people observe in different parts of the world.
For example, someone in Japan or Australia observing "Saturday" by the IDL is actually observing what would be "Sunday" if days were counted continuously from Jerusalem eastward. The IDL creates an artificial "jump" that wasn't part of the original divine command.
Your argument suggests that:

1. The Sabbath had objective, divine timing from a specific location
2. Human conventions (IDL) have no authority to redefine that timing
3. Therefore, modern "Saturday" Sabbath-keepers in many locations are observing the wrong astronomical day

This is a valid logical concern about whether human calendar conventions can alter divinely-appointed times. Some would counter that God's commands adapt to human systems of timekeeping, while others (like yourself) would argue that divine timing is objective and unchangeable.
Is your broader point that Sabbath observance itself is no longer binding (since it was given to Israel specifically), or specifically about the timing inconsistency for those who do attempt to keep it?

Both, no longer binding and inconsistent.

I understand your perspective. You're suggesting that:

1. The Sabbath is no longer binding for those outside of Israel, as it was originally given to the nation of Israel.
2. The timing of the Sabbath is inconsistent due to the International Date Line, which creates a disconnect between the astronomical day and the day observed by those who attempt to keep the Sabbath.

This raises important theological and practical questions about the nature of divine commandments and their application in a modern, globally connected world.
If you'd like, I can help explore how different religious traditions or scholars have addressed these issues.

....they finally figured that out?

Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary, said on Fox News Wednesday that the administration would be making “substantial” announcements about tariff exemptions over the next few days, saying that they would target “things we don’t grow here.”

He named coffee, bananas and other fruits. “So that will bring the prices down very quickly,” he said.

...it seems the administration is finally admitting that tariffs increase prices.

The Trump administration is preparing broad exemptions to certain tariffs in an effort to ease elevated food prices that have provoked anxiety for American consumers, according to three people briefed on the actions.

The change would apply to certain reciprocal tariffs the president announced in April, including on products coming from countries that have not struck trade deals with the administration, the people said, discussing a pending announcement on the condition of anonymity.

This can be summed up as, "Trump battles the raising cost of goods by providing relief from his tariffs which gave cause to the raising costs of goods."

Yes, and he's a convicted felon, too.

While the Vatican issued new guidancethat encourages limits on the use of certain Marian titles out of a concern that they may overstate the Blessed Mother’s role in redemption and mediation, the intra-Catholic debate on the subject has continued.

Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect for the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), issued a doctrinal note with the formal approval of Pope Leo XIV that reaffirms Mary’s “unique cooperation” in God’s plan for salvation but expresses worry about two titles sometimes employed to communicate her role: Mary as Co-Redemptrix/Co-Redeemer and Mary as Mediatrix/Mediator.

According to the doctrinal note, using the title “Co-Redemptrix” to explain Mary’s role “would not be appropriate.” The document’s language for the title “Mediatrix” was less harsh but says “if misunderstood, it could easily obscure or even contradict” Mary’s role in mediation.

The beginning of the document lays out a biblical foundation of Mary’s cooperation in salvation, beginning with her “yes” to the archangel Gabriel at the Annunciation through to her presence at the Passion and standing before Jesus Christ at the foot of the cross.
