  • How To Interpret the Bible

    Prophecy Questions Blog ^ | March 18, 2024 | Charles Meek
    Some things Christians believe are curious to me. For example, many conservative evangelical Christians, the group which I generally consider myself to be a part, proudly say, “We take the Bible literally.” Indeed, they use this statement as a test for orthodoxy. Well, here are few questions I’d like to ask them: • When Jesus said that He is the vine (John 15:5), did He mean that He is a plant? • Is God literally a rock (2 Samuel 22:3; Psalm 18:2, etc.)? • Should we literally hate our mother and father so that we can be Jesus’ disciple (Luke...

  • Germany explores the revival of compulsory military service

    03/07/2024 10:31:53 AM PST · by davikkm · 31 replies
    Get ready for a potential seismic shift in Germany’s military landscape! According to reports from Der Spiegel, Boris Pistorius, the head of the German Defense Ministry, is mulling over a proposal to reinstate compulsory military service. The move, if implemented, would mark a significant departure from Germany’s decision to suspend conscription back in 2011, opting for a professional military force.

    Short List of Dispensational Beliefs 1. Dispensationalists believe in a literal 1,000-year period―the millennium―in which Christ has returned and rules the world in a utopian political kingdom from Jerusalem (Revelation 20). This, despite Revelation 20 being the most symbolic chapter in the most symbolic book of the Bible. And this, despite Jesus’ teaching that his kingdom is a spiritual one, not a physical one (John 18:36). 2. Prior to the millennium there will be a period of worldwide unrest called the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21). They think it will last seven years, despite no single verse in the Bible speaking...
  • Pentagon is sending aid to Ukraine without Congress approval?

    03/01/2024 1:18:25 PM PST · by davikkm · 23 replies
    The Pentagon is considering a controversial move—sending military aid to Ukraine without waiting for Congress to give the nod. Reports suggest they have $4 billion set aside for Ukraine, and they might use it directly from their reserves. Here’s the catch: If they spend this money, Congress might not pay them back. This has raised eyebrows because usually, Congress needs to approve such decisions. The Pentagon seems hesitant to spend this money without a guarantee of getting it back from Congress. It’s led to speculation that they might just decide to send the aid on their own, bypassing the regular...
  • Birthrates Continues Free Fall Collapse Despite Hundreds of Billions in Incentives

    03/01/2024 10:23:59 AM PST · by davikkm · 12 replies
    This stands true for basically every industrialized/”liberal” country, and by liberal I mean so-called democracy. That’s because there is no way to incentivize women to have kids. The Guardian: South Korea’s demographic crisis has deepened with the release of data showing its birthrate – already the world’s lowest – fell to a new record low in 2023, despite billions of dollars in government schemes designed to persuade families to have more children. Reports that South Korea’s population had shrunk for the fourth straight year came soon after neighbouring Japan reported a record decline in its population last year, along with...
  • Do I want Trump to exact revenge? Damn right I do

    Donald Trump has all but secured the Republican nomination for President of the United States, defeating Nikki Haley handily in South Carolina. The left wing media continues to furiously pump out highly negative articles as that eventuality approaches. A significant part of that effort involves the "threat" of Trump seeking revenge. Alexander Vindman, who stabbed Trump in the back, says his wife is saving money in case they need to flee the US. Stephanie Grisham says she's "terrified." Mark Zaid, lawyer to other Trump back-stabbers, said“I know of many prominent ‘never Trump’ advocates, including many Republicans, who are considering their...

    On this date in 1601, Queen Elizabeth’s last great favorite became the last man beheaded in the Tower of London. Vain and dashing Robert Devereux rolled into the royal court in 1584 around age 19 and immediately established himself as the new favorite of the monarch, 30-some years his senior. They spent long walks and late nights in enchanted private company, and Devereux “commeth not to his owne lodginge tyll the birdes singe in the morninge.” Ye olde walke of shayme. In becoming the (presumed) lover* of the aging Virgin Queen, the Earl of Essex was only following the family**...

    Who are the 10% of people who believe the Ukraine can win a war with Russia? I guess we should be celebrating – two years ago, a majority thought this was a reasonable proposition. It was always very incredible to me. I kept saying “bro, have you seen a map? Russia is like, a lot bigger than the Ukraine.”

    On or about this day in 1629, one John Dean, described in court documents as “an infant between eight and nine years,” was hanged in Abingdon, England for setting fire to two barns in the nearby town of Windsor. According to Historia placitorum corone: The history of the pleas of the crown, Volume 1 by William Axton Stokes and Edward Ingersoll, this juvenile felon was indicted, arraigned and found guilty all on the same day, February 23, “and was hanged accordingly.” The actual date of his execution is not known, but it can’t have been long afterward. The wheels of...

    On this date in 1942, 200-plus Australian and Dutch prisoners captured after the Battle of Ambon earlier that same year were summarily executed near Laha Airfield on present-day Maluku, Indonesia. It was the last and the largest of a series of POW executions in the days following the February 3 conclusion of the battle; collectively, they’re known as the Laha Massacre.* The individual incidents, timelines, and body counts of the several incidents are reported with a good deal of variance and conflation in the sites describing these horrible days, but the evening of February 20 as the consummating atrocity appears...

  • Avdiivka, The Most Heavily Fortified City On The Entire Planet, Has Officially Fallen to the Russians.

    02/17/2024 7:36:36 PM PST · by davikkm · 42 replies
    Avdeevka…. From where the Ukrainian Army has shelled the rebel civilians of Donetsk City for TEN YEARS, has fallen to the Russians after ten years, with many reports of the Ukrainian forces in an absolute rout. There are going to be lots of tactical, strategic, and political implications from this that we will see over the next days and weeks. There are reportedly few Ukrainian defenses behind Avdeevka, the Ukrainians put all their eggs into one basket, counting on the deep Soviet-era nuclear bunker system, and defenses built since the end of the civil war to make it impregnable.
  • Why It's Important for Americans to Understand Mexico

    Border Hawk Blog ^ | Feb. 15th, 2024 | Allan Wall
    Mexico is our next-door neighbor but it seems many Americans are not well-informed about it. Wrong and outdated impressions of Mexico affect our policymakers as well. This is particularly true regarding border and immigration policy. Americans think of Mexico as a poor country. And it is, compared to the United States. But Mexico is wealthier and has a higher standard of living than most countries in Latin America and Africa. There are, of course, many poor Mexicans. But doesn’t Mexico itself, with all its wealth, have a responsibility to help its own poor people? In the U.S., any meddling perpetrated...

    On this date in 1673, Indians named Kaelkompte and Keketamape were sentenced to hanging and gibbeting for the murder of an English soldier near Albany, New York. (The date this sentence was executed, if it was not immediate, has been lost to history.) This place had been known as Beverwijck up until a few years prior, when the English gave it its new and still-current christening* after taking it away New Netherland during the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The transition of its legal organs was a more gradual process — with a long survival of Dutch practices upon which the English...

    Today a law was passed in France qualifying any opposition to mRNA-LNP injections as a “sectarian aberration”. It carries a penalty of up to 3 years’ imprisonment and 45,000 euros. “It will not tolerate any criticism of the therapeutic treatments which will be recommended or made obligatory by the state. Any person who dares to openly criticize these therapies will be liable to fines and imprisonment.”
  • Estonia Says Russia to Fight West Within a Decade Unless Deterred by a Counter Build-Up of Armed Forces

    Why would Russia want to attack the West? What purpose could it serve? The only explanation is comic book evil. That is the logic of the entire American Empire: everything is a comic book. If they even art doing a troop buildup – and they’re not – they would be doing it defensively because NATO is constantly issuing all these threats. The head of NATO recently announced he is planning a decades-long war with Russia.
  • Scarborough Blames Trump For Election Loss In Santos District That Biden Won Easily

    "A district the Republicans should have won." That's how, on today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough described yesterday's special election in New York's 3rd district, won by the Democrat, Tom Suozzi, who represented the district from 2017 to 2023, and so was the virtual incumbent in the race. He won the district in 2018 by 59-41 percent, and in 2020 by 56-43. The election was held to fill the seat vacated by serial fabulist Republican George Santos, only the third person since the Civil War to be expelled from the House. There was surely significant voter sentiment wanting to punish Santos...
  • Surging wealth inequality deepens, alarming rise in credit card and auto debt observed.

    02/13/2024 4:52:54 PM PST · by davikkm · 22 replies
    In the aftermath of the pandemic, wealth inequality in the United States has intensified, according to reports from the New York Fed and Reuters. This outcome aligns with expectations, given the surge in financial assets that largely exclude those with minimal net worth. Individuals without exposure to these assets rely solely on earnings growth to accumulate wealth, further widening the economic gap. A concerning trend accompanies this disparity. Credit card debt witnessed a significant uptick, surging by 14.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023, as reported by CNBC. This increase places additional financial strain on individuals grappling with a lack...
