Those who think the Bible is just a heap of moral platitudes and ancient religious practices are surprised to learn that the Bible does say something about rioting, reveling, and rebellion. Let’s look.
“Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.” (Ro 13:13)
The First Amendment and free speech were once used to produce something good, to make positive changes in the nation. That day seems to have slipped away, along with a lot of other powerful, foundational measures.
One lesson the Bible teaches us is that often, riotous behavior is produced to facilitate something evil. In Christ’s day, they rioted to stop the ministry of the Apostle Paul. They rioted to stop the freeing of Jesus by facilitating the release of Barabbas the thief.

One of the things I hope they can do with AI, is take the old classic Swing recordings and clean them up so they sound like you were listening to it live.
It’s not about the criminals or the immigrants or illegal aliens. It is about Trump is “hitler” and anything he wants is bad therefore they oppose him.
I showed Obama’s immigration speech to my liberal friend. Crickets
To be correct it is the Lakota or Dakota people not Sioux, a derogatory term used by other tribes and copied by the French explorers. The local tribe in the Minneapolis area is the Mdewakanton Dakota People and they are the richest Indian tribe in the country worth billions. The tribe operates a Vegas size casino and resort and has other enterprises in the area and would be far better managers of this state than Walz and his corrupt regime.
Thanks, I knew this. I have the greatest respect for those people and I believe we could learn a lot from them. But thanks for the reminder.
