Free Republic

Here’s a thought. Maybe foreigners shouldn’t have access to our military secrets.

So, it looks like these hundreds of illegals, in addition to entering the country illegally or overstaying their visas, ALSO broke other laws for which they were arrested.

But local authorities also detained them on behalf of ICE. And this is supposedly a violation of their constitutional rights.

And a jury (of their peers I presume) awarded them each a six-figure payout funded by tax payers.

I hope this is appealed and overturned.

America has the most powerful military in the world, but we are not doing so well fighting the enemy within.

Harris would find tic-tac-toe too challenging.

“You think God after Jesus is in the smiting business still? You have some confused and mostly crap theology.”

Maybe it'd be a good idea to base your theology on the Bible.

While we live during a time of God's superabounding grace, those who contemptuously reject His grace will face God's accumulating wrath.

John 3:36 NKJV
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

This is part of the same conversation that contains the most famous verse of the Bible, John 3:16 .

Romans 1:18, 26-27 & 2:4-6 NKJV
The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness...
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due...
who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them...
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds.”

There are Bible passages too numerous to list that describe the coming judgment of God on the world by fire similar to what He did to Sodom and for similar reasons.

Mark 9:12 NKJV
Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?”

Elijah hasn’t come back yet but will before the Day of the Lord.

Many think he is one of the two witnesses in Revelation.

Exactly.

“will guarantee Republicans never win another election”

I’d rather die a slow, toruous death than to be ruled by these fools.

Let’s a have a war then.

“Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. It is elliptical, or slightly oval-shaped. This means there is one point in the orbit where Earth is closest to the Sun, and another where Earth is farthest from the Sun.”

And the Sun is at a foci of this elliptical path. If the Sun was in the center there would be two times the earth is far away and two times it is close each year.

The path is only slightly elliptical, which is another reason it does not cause seasons.

“That’s all that’s required; a budget. We pass a budget and done.”

That’s not how it works.

As I said, Congress must pass and the President must sign either the full set of 12 appropriations bills for the fiscal year or a temporary measure like a continuing resolution (CR). This legislation funds government departments and agencies, which must cease non-essential operations during a lapse in funding.

The 12 annual appropriations bills fund specific areas of the federal government’s discretionary spending and move through Congress via a structured legislative process.

Each of the 12 bills corresponds to a specific area of government funding. These bills for a given fiscal year cover various departments and agencies. Here’s a list:

Without ending the filibuster it will require an unnecessary compromise with Democrats over the budget, and many other issues, like election security and reform, will not get done.

Budget resolutions and recomciliation cannot be filibustered, but appropriations bills can be. To end a government shutdown, Congress must pass and the President must sign either the full set of 12 appropriations bills for the fiscal year or a temporary measure like a continuing resolution (CR). This legislation funds government departments and agencies, which must cease non-essential operations during a lapse in funding.

Since the current filibuster rules are not in the Constitution they can be easily changed, and this makes it a game of musical chairs as to which side of our highly-polarized political environment decides to stop the music and take the remaining chair.

The Democrats and RINO judges are shamelessly weaponizing their positions to do anything and everything to stop the Trump agenda. They are traitors and sellouts. Many needed legislative changes will not happen if they can be filibustered. Not only do we need a budget that does not compromise with Dems on things like providing food and medical care to illegals, but ending the filibuster would allow the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 22 / S. 128) to proceed to a simple majority vote in the Senate. It passed in the House of Representatives in April but is currently pending in the Senate.

Democrats never play politics. They worship it.

Exactly. 100%.

Democrats are shamelessly weaponizing the government. This is the only way to stop them.

The king of New York was elected by the no kings movement.

Well... I’m torn.

It’s still Hillary’s turn to be president.

But I also can’t help wanting to see Kamala on the ticket in 2028.

The hillarity is great enough to justify the existential risk of her possibly winning. And we all have to die of something, right?

“Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”

And since Mary, the mother of Jesus, was born of a woman, this means that, according to Jesus, John the Baptist was greater than Mary. (At least this was the case until the coming of the Holy Spirit, that John foretold.)

Thought I’d point this out relevant to our other conversations about Mary recently.

Just another example of why there is no reasoning with the Democrat party that exists to promote everything evil including the murder of babies, the mutilation of children, every sexual perversion and targeting children with their perversions, the assassination of anyone who disagrees with them, and a total tyranny over the body and mind of every living human.

There will be war. Act accordingly.

On one occassion He told me to do something to protect me.

On another He told me that some people I had not met would ask for me to take them somewhere and that I should do it.

It happened as He told me. Also, these people were not famous at the time but are now. And this is significant for reasons I cannot tell you.

The details are private. But it does not matter for you that God spoke to me. That was for me.

Why should it surprise you that God still speaks? This was common in the Bible.

What is unusual is when He does not speak. You need to find out why this is so foreign to you but common in the Bible.

Your zeal for God is not according to knowledge. You better find out how to hear God’s voice so you do not misrepresent Him and can be certain of the truth about the matters we are debating.

Is there some reason you don’t want to hear God’s voice?

This is how you boil an egg in Coldwater.

“We’re you drinking heavily or on heavy drugs?”

Nope. In time of deep prayer. And His words supernaturally came to pass.

And your mockery is the same type of mockery Peter confronted when the Holy Spirit came in Acts 2.

Acts 2:13-18 NKJV
Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.’ ”

And it shows you know nothing about God’s voice. And that proves you are not His sheep.

John 10:27 NKJV
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

I’m not saying this to insult you. I am trying to wake you up from slumber. Be honest with yourself.

Are you content to live your life and NEVER hear God’s voice?

Doesn’t the fact alarm you that since you don’t hear Jesus’ voice, you are not His sheep?

You don’t need to take my word for anything. Go to God. Fast, Pray. Plead with God to hear from Him. Is there any harm in that?

If God will do this for me, He will do it for you too, because He is no respecter of persons:

Acts 10:34-44 NKJV
Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.”
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.
