Your word is true & trustworthy... forever fixed in heaven--Psalm 119:86,89. Not to be unfriendly but a follow isn't an offer of friendship. No DMs. #NeverForgetJan6
#LatestBlogPost Even in the Old Testament, brotherkeeping was not limited to relatives. New Testament passages apply brotherliness to nonChristian neighbors and countrymen. The demands of brotherliness towards the unsaved are urgent and demanding. what-is-mankind.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

"Whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also." Is this a one-off in Jesus' repertoire? An outlier? Or does it fit the larger context of His teaching, His ministry, and the word of God? what-is-mankind.blogspot.com/2025/07/jesu...

Jesus was numbered among the vilest transgressors, died with and for them. He went to the cross in exchange for a murderer named Barabbas. He later felt the blows that Paul--a violent aggressor--inflicted on His followers... and yet He saved him! what-is-mankind.blogspot.com/2025/04/paul...

Psalm 8's “What is man?” is followed by Ps 9’s desperate pleas: “do not let man prevail” and “let the nations know that they are but men.” Ps 10 longs for a day when “man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.” What’s going on? what-is-mankind.blogspot.com/2025/03/pro-...

NEW: DOGE put a not-so-secret CIA training facility up for sale, apparently in error.
"Obviously, someone did no research about the long and well-documented history of this property," says the chairman of the local county board of supervisors.

A Sensitive Complex Housing a CIA Facility Was on GSA's List of US Properties for Sale
Plans to redevelop a Northern Virginia warehouse site have long been complicated by the area’s worst-kept secret—the presence of a CIA facility. The GSA put the site up for sale anyway.

This is what I've observed too, with my own little eyes
President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Idea for Dems & Independents: Put Trump's name on any legislation you really really want passed... the Donald Trump Immigration Reform Package, the Trump Infrastructure Bill, the Trump Support for Ukraine Act.... Seriously, who cares who gets the credit? (Trump does, but the rest of us don't)

Somehow, in their zeal to conserve other things, some conservatives forgot they need to conserve the law/Constitution. They abandoned the idea that ends do not justify the means. They are not committed to doing the right thing in the right way

Is government too big & should we cut spending? Yes. Always.
Should we defy the Constitution & break the law to cut spending? No. Never.
We are a nation of laws. What Musk/Trump are doing is against both the law AND the Constitution.

This is true. It's because he makes everything about himself, and he is not inspiring, has no comfort to give. Sad... and I do not say that ironically
a very key thing about Donald Trump is that he cannot perform the symbolic roles of the presidency even a little bit.

When God commanded Israel to clear the Promised Land of the nations who lived there, was that murder? Was it unjust killing, inconsistent with the Bible’s teaching on the sanctity of human life? Did His commands violate the very pro-life ethic that He had so carefully developed in the law?
