RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

Read it.

That is what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is. The Holy Spirits job is to lead and direct us to and through Jesus. Fact is, there is only one way to God and that's through Jesus. The Holy Spirit is who leads us to him and without his leading we can't even come to Christ. Denying him is blasphemy.

Like you are not expecting what Trump will do for the USA. For, to. Perspective, not fact.

Or do live an enlightened life only in the now.

You: "I do hate what Trump will do to the USA..."

What if he does good things for America? Does that matter to you? Or are you just here to try to influence Americans on how YOU feel we should behave? Do you tell Americans to their faces what you tell us here? Somehow I doubt that....

Since the war began, the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute.

President Joe Biden’s biggest request in the package is more than $61 billion for Ukraine. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. has unleashed an arsenal worth $44 billion in security assistance, according to figures provided by the State Department.

After destroying our oil energy Biden lifts sanctions on Dictator Maduro.
The U.S. moves follow months of negotiations in which Washington had pressed Caracas for concrete actions toward democratic elections in return for lifting some - but not all - of the tough sanctions imposed under former U.S. President Donald Trump.

It also represents a significant step in the increased engagement of President Joe Biden's administration with Maduro on issues ranging from energy to migration, a shift from Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign against the socialist government.

Venezuela ruling party official Jorge Rodriguez, who leads the government's negotiating team at talks with the opposition, said on state television later on Wednesday that the sanctions relief affected all oil activities.

Barrasso: China Benefits from Biden’s War on American Energy
“I come to the floor today to talk about the Biden administration's war on American energy.

“Time and again, Joe Biden's energy policies have hurt America and have helped China. On Joe Biden's first day in office, he shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline, and I think he did it for spite.

“It would have brought 800,000 barrels of oil to this country every single day.

“Joe Biden then stopped all new energy leases on federal land, and in Wyoming we have a lot of federal land.

“He did it in a way that was blatantly illegal. A federal judge actually ordered Joe Biden to follow the law, to sell energy leases. Follow the law.

“Joe Biden also raised taxes on natural gas by billions of dollars. He raised taxes on coal by $1 billion as well.

“As a nation today, we are still producing about 2 million barrels of oil less than was projected we would be producing every day, a number of years ago, before the pandemic.

You don't have to preach to me, Terry, I've been studying the Bible a long time.

Shabbat shalom!

You define hate, you rarely say anything without bringing Trump into the conversation in a "negative" way. You sound old, bitter and ugly and need to point the finger at someone for your misable life.

microphor Loc: Home is TN

Listen, we don't want a country like yours. Your opinion has no weight here. Why the hell aren't you fighting for your rights in Canada, afraid they'll take your paycheck?

Kind of like Liberals from Canuckistan.

EmilyD

People who have the need to insist that their hate is not hateful make me wonder what they think hate really is.

microphor Loc: Home is TN

People who deny it cannot change because we cannot change what we do not acknowledge

Terry Fishgrab

Same applies to you. You were the one that decided to correct me. What comes are goes around.

EmilyD

My guess is that people like Rascal Riley think "hateful" has to be certain words...they don't realize that "hateful" can also mean ideas. RascalRiley's "ideas" on how he thinks Americans should be ... and how we should NOT be ... are not only out of touch with how things work here, they are just plain rude. You don't go on a forum in another country and trash the people who live there and expect to be thanked for it! Even anti-Trump people should ignore him for thinking he knows better than those of us who live, work and worship here!

Have you ever watched a movie about a beautiful person with a picture in the attic that reflected their true nature?

I once listened to a sermon where the preacher said something about our lives, words, and actions as a picture of faith presented to others who might only see that as our witness for Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit.

My father was such a person. He never shared his faith by word while he was living. He lived a Christian life of faith. If the church doors were open, he and his family were there. Since our funds were low, we did the tasks others didn't want to do, such as cleaning, etc..

His home was open to family members who needed a place to sleep. One might say, "he'd give you the shirt off his back if you needed one." If he had something you needed and he could share, he did. Prayer and reading the Bible were part of our daily home activities.

He was disabled most of my childhood; however, he was always a loving, Christian father. He requested the pastor share the redemption message at his funeral. We sang my dad's favorite hymns.

Dad would now be a Christian conservative you despise. His faith made him one. He was never online, was barely literate, except in the Bible, and he sacrificed his youth to help his family by quitting school and working the farm at the tender age of nine so they could eat. He was that kid walking behind a mule with a one-furrow plow blade.

At the age of 33, Dad was finally granted his disability. He was told he had three years to live. He fought daily to live, raise his children, and see his grandchildren live to adulthood. He was a painfilled, racked, disabled individual during his life. I never heard him complain until he was in the hospital near his end, sweating bullets just trying to breathe. he told me, "It hurts too much to stay." He passed to glory at 70; God was in control throughout his life.

His picture in the attic has to be stunning!
