  1. Getting Interesting....... US Senators introduced a bipartisan resolution declaring Russia's use of nuclear weapons or destruction of the occupied Zaporizhia Nuclear Powerplant in Ukraine to be an attack on NATO requiring the invocation of NATO Article 5 = NATO attack on the Russians.
  2. Who retails this?
  3. To underline your point: once Rome officially became "Christian", the human sacrifices in the arenas switched from Christians to pagans and watched with the same gusto.
  4. Actually, the biggest supplier of take-out pizza in North America is....drumroll please.....Costco. Can't beat it for calories per dollar but the quality.....ick.
  5. The right wing, led by Faux, is so desperately bereft of substance to manufacture rage about that they are seizing on anything, no matter how moronic, to try to create furore.
  6. Even before Yeshua died, there was friction among His followers. Some believed that they should completely secede from the traditional Jewish faith and practices but others believed that they ought to be just another sect of Judaism, following of circumcision diet and other rules. After His crucifixion, there came open hostilities and a schism. Such is humankind.
  7. James Cameron speaks about the loss of the Titan submersible: https://9gag.com/gag/ap9YQon https://www.alternet.org/Bank/titan-sub/
  8. Conservatives Are Now Blaming The Titanic Sub Tragedy On 'Wokeness' On Sunday, the submersible Titan went missing far off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, in the North Atlantic ocean. The tourist expedition, led by OceanGate, a company that runs submersible trips for tourism and exploration, was supposed to take five men to view the shipwreck of the Titanic, nearly 13,000 feet below sea level. A search for the sub, which included OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush onboard, is now over after debris from the vessel was located following an apparent “catastrophic implosion,” the U.S. Coast Guard said Thursday. As the U.S. and Canadian governments shelled out funds in the rescue and recovery effort, the media reported on a series of safety concerns that most likely led to the sub going missing. But conservatives had another theory. Could the sub have disappeared because OceanGate’s CEO went “woke”? Wokeness has become a new boogeyman for the right, and no one is safe — even in a case like this, with five people believed to have lost their lives in the deep sea. Being woke once meant being aware of social injustices, but conservatives have appropriated it to refer to anything that they disagree with or that has a hint of liberalism. It’s often used as a not-very-subtle replacement for racial slurs. On Wednesday afternoon, Fox News’ Jesse Watters suggested on the network’s show “The Five” that the men may have perished in the sub because Rush was too woke. “There’s been lawsuits, there’s been accusations about slashing regulations. He’s quoted as saying he didn’t hire a bunch of 50-year-old white guys with military experience because he didn’t want his vessels to be not inspirational for a younger generation,” Watters said, referring to the OceanGate CEO previously stating that he didn’t want to hire older white men.
  9. That is the most disheartening part of this debacle.
  10. This is not a spanking- its a complete beatdown.
  11. Well, insult now added to injury.
  12. Holm has been th e best defender.
  13. This is very hard to watch without retching.
  14. Reminds me of the loss to Montreal last year. Nothing is working
  15. The whole team is out of sync.
  16. Lions already in 3-point range. Rubbing salt into the open wound,
  17. GAWD!!! Can't stop any goddam pass.
  18. You could see this coming last week, but Jeez...
  19. Written tongue in cheek, no doubt.
  20. Racists and the wilfully ignorant.
  21. Again, we come to the point where some "Christians" choose to believe that their interpretations of the Bible or even doctrine not part of Christian tradition entitles then to superiority over unbelievers. Yeshua, who is commonly called Jesus is recorded as saying that His greatest teaching was that we should love one another as He loved us.
