    Trump floats stripping Rosie O’Donnell of US citizenship: ‘She is a Threat to Humanity’

    Haven't been able to determine it. Came across too may opinion pieces and possibly AI generated articles. If she prefers Ireland and wants to be a citizen there, that's her business.

    Trump floats stripping Rosie O’Donnell of US citizenship: ‘She is a Threat to Humanity’

    The principle of "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" tends to be forgotten" by both sides. And yes, if O'Donnell loses her citizenship (unlikely) for political reasons, it will be applied to conservatives after liberals regain political power.

    If this is from the WH twitter account, I suspect Trump is trolling again.

    Trump floats stripping Rosie O’Donnell of US citizenship: ‘She is a Threat to Humanity’

    Let's assume he is. Big problem: Youi can't arbitrarily revoke someone's US citizenship. Found this in a quick search: Can Your U.S. Citizenship Be Revoked? Ms. O'Donnell was born a US citizen, so she is cannot be denaturalized. She is currently a resident of Ireland. To the best of my...

    EU's anti-Christian report is sign of slide into 'godlessness,' politician warns

    Oh? Conservative politically or conservative theologically? A theologically liberal Christian can be politically conservative, and a theologically conservative Christian and be politically liberal. The problem with this thread is that if we dare to go into detail why certain things indicate an...

    FEMA missed major flood risk at Christian Camp Mystic, analysis claims to show

    The flood of a local river I'm familiar with, not the Guadalupe River. Used that to gauge the accuracy of the local flood maps.

    FEMA missed major flood risk at Christian Camp Mystic, analysis claims to show

    First, there's no indication that it's "climate change" related. The problem is the lack of a long baseline here in the US. For the US. 250 years is a long time. For Europe, that's practically yesterday. Consistent weather records in the US are a surprisingly recent thing, only going back to the...

    EU's anti-Christian report is sign of slide into 'godlessness,' politician warns

    I know that those who oppose Christianity do not first go: "I say there, old chap: What do you think of the Nicene Creed? Don't want to make a mistake, you know." Uh-uh.

    EU's anti-Christian report is sign of slide into 'godlessness,' politician warns

    Canada is Canada. It's shocking to some, but it's not a colder version of the US. They chose not to join in the American Revolution; saw US action on their soil in that war and the War of 1812; and, per Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story, both countries had at one point made contingency plans...

    EU's anti-Christian report is sign of slide into 'godlessness,' politician warns

    ? Someone doesn't need to trash the Nicene Creed to be anti-Christian. Odd are those who have physically attacked Christians in various countries this year didn't first give them a questionnaire on doctrine.

    FEMA missed major flood risk at Christian Camp Mystic, analysis claims to show

    Ironically, I'm not a huge fan of FEMA due to how it's structured, but fair is fair: I don't see blaming them for something they had no control over. If the maps are off, then yes. But building in a known flood zone isn't FEMA's fault.

    FEMA missed major flood risk at Christian Camp Mystic, analysis claims to show

    True. For the flood I remembered that I used to check the flood map for that area was a few feet short of the highest recorded flood for that location. In that instance there was a reference. Interestingly, it was also an instance of two 100 year floods occurring in less than a century, but...

    FEMA missed major flood risk at Christian Camp Mystic, analysis claims to show

    Floodplains are a bit of a misnomer since it's in a small valley-like terrain. Contour lines there are at 20 foot intervals. Not the greatest interval distance in the US, but more than the flatland 10 foot interval. (the steeper the terrain, the greater the interval, to prevent having so many...

    FEMA missed major flood risk at Christian Camp Mystic, analysis claims to show

    Flood maps are by terrain, not buildings. Have used flood maps before at work. But don't take my word for it. First go here: Flood Maps Then look up a flood map. Which map doesn't matter, as long as it's a place subject to flooding. These things are interactive now, but notice something right...

    Church discipline no longer practiced in most Protestant churches: Survey

    When I was a young, the original records of our church surfaces. I remember being at the house of some friends of my parents as they read them. I don't recall how far back they went. The congregation dated to the early 1800. What I recall was the term "run off" used for some members. Later...

    US revokes terror label for Syria’s HTS after it toppled Assad; Christian group decries 'injustice'

    It's ironic: Islamic terrorists hate the US, and yet the US has indirectly helped them by creating conditions where they can rise to power. Also ironically, my suspicion is that dropping the terrorist label from HTS was done with the goal of stabilization. Some things Trump said during the...

    The last I looked terror groups aren't friends of Israel, either.

    'Grounding' exposed: Former psychic calls trend spiritually dangerous, scientifically baseless

    The moment Christians move from discussions of the physical realm to the spiritual, extreme caution is required. Not all spirits are of God, nor do all spiritual practices honor God. A good example of this is the song My Sweet Lord, which had Christians singing along until they realized the song...

    'Grounding' exposed: Former psychic calls trend spiritually dangerous, scientifically baseless

    When someone says “grounding” to me, I think of electrical connections. I had to look it up. My opinion? “Ah, no.” First, let’s talk about electric currents in the earth. As with most things, it gets complicated. First in mind are stray currents. Stray currents are man-made and a result of...
