NOT.

It's like this...

Ok, an armored ride, not what the army would call a combat vehicle, but resistant to small arms fire. There are a number of state and federal agencies that run around doing secret squirrel stuff.

The anti-anti-war song? The 'let's beat up the hippies' song. If you have actual nostalgia for that thing, we sure were on opposite sides of the cultural divide back in those days....

I can easily imagine the Israelis seeking arms sales to us, as part of the back-and-forth of our extensive support and arms dealing with them. But doesn't seem important to me.

Ran across this today. Article in New Yorker's Intelligencer (not paywalled for now) gives good analysis of Trump confounding a friendly interviewer's attemp to make him sound good. But this bit caught my eye:

H.H.: No jokes at all. Do you intend to rule as an authoritarian or a dictator?

D.T.: Not at all. No, I’m going to rule as somebody that’s very popular with the people. And the reason I have a 50-point or 60-point lead — I saw one today, I have a 60-point lead, but the reason is because I had four great years.

There's several points of stupid in that, but one word jumps out for me--that word 'rule.' Kings rule. Emperors rule. Presidents of democracies don't rule. But dictators do.

All I can do is marvel at their proficiency. My theory / belief, that the world rulers are actually decedents of Magog rather than Judah is not meant to be derogatory. I'm just, figuratively speaking, taking my hat off and bowing.

It's impressive. Not a darn thing I can do about it. Somebody is going to buy Donald Trump, once he has no more money.

Is there any significant difference? Magog - Judah.

LOL.

I hated being isolated in the country as a kid, despised country music, and I was forced to listen grain market prices on the AM radio everyday.

Actually, Merle was a city boy who despised ignorant country people.

But if we want to kick off a war, we need propaganda like this.

Biblical blood lines mean nothing since the salvation of Christ was extended to the Gentiles.

Prophecy of future events, however, remains intact. I'll bump to the Gog and Magog thread to delve a little further into this.

Why Worry?

In life, there are really only two things to worry about. Either you are well, or you are sick.

If you are well, there's nothing to worry about.

If you are sick, there are two things to worry about. Either you get better, or you die.

If you get better, there's nothing to worry about.

If you die, there are two things to worry about. Going to Heaven, or going to Hell.

If you go to Heaven, there's nothing to worry about.

If you go to Hell, you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends that you won't have time to worry…so why worry?

Very old saying I borrowed.....


What always gets me about Religion and some. If they are truly believers then ones death should not fear. Yet if there is unsureness and doubt questioning causing fear that this is all there is. Then can see why they will be so anxious and upset.
