Was this whole thing a Secretary Hegseth effort to let a Christian Nationalist or white supremacist church creeper in an ecumenical setting, thinking the smell would not be detected?

Indeed he/she does!
Of course, I have no way of knowing who initiated this re-write of policy, but it smells like the current Secretary of Defense may have let a white supremacist leaning, Christian Nationalist church creeper.. that did not go undetected.

Is it possible current American oil billionaires have not reviewed the unsteady history traversed by previous oil magnates & their companies in Venezuela or does the lure of short-term $ overpower good sense? Where does Rubio fit in the oil reasoning (he, being "architect" of T's V policies?

Yes. I see that in re-read. Also note that my thought on classification of low-status group beliefs as perhaps not fair is "perhaps not fair" in that they acknowledge some of those beliefs may be "experience" based.

It helps for the unskilled (me) to read and read again.

Pew Research Center revises report about 'racial conspiracy theories' after backlash
Critics said the report’s initial title referring to “racial conspiracy theories” implied that Black Americans’ distrust of U.S. institutions is irrational and without historical context.

While taking a break from reading this, I'll note my first stop & think moments were - "...By focusing on politics and science, we argue that conspiracy theories do more harm than good." My thought: That seems an argument of the very obvious .. considering the powerful & instant modes of ..

Good grief. Even Ron DeSantis and Lindsey Graham would know this, ...though a question comes to mind. Would either of them "express concern".

How frequently we read of such horrible things happening to, usually though not always, to little girls ... in churches or perpetrated by someone affiliated with a church. So, we must/should ask; What the hell is the problem with churches? We know the answer, don't we?

Men.

That's $1238 per person of the 21 million people now receiving subsidies for ACA coverage.

$103 per month.

He's a doctor. Educated, but not of common sense? Or, is he just selling a GOP narrative?

It is total crap. Touting honest history, morals, Judeo-Christian foundations of country, transparency (Accusing our schools of hiding what children are being taught), character & public virtue... in the era of Donald Trump! Full info on signatory Scott Yenor should be placed in S/Brd. member hands.

The image is of Musk, but let us never forget good Catholic Marco Rubio's part in this humanitarian tragedy. He has actually lectured and written using parts of The Catholic Social Doctrine as reasoning for his stated position at the time.

Yes there is. It's called a flip flam.

We will be satisfied when men who preyed upon coerced female children &/or "young women", made available to them by Epstein/accomplices/facilitators, are in the nearest dungeon; Never to see the light of day again. Think! What did the sick bastards have frightened children (girls) do for them?

Problem: He is in control. As his social media call for EF release states, "...the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to..."
"can" - giving HIS permission
"legally entitled to" - his controlled DOJ will decide what House is entitled to, thus he controls that too.

Do house lawyers have a plan when DOJ reveals a just opened investigation, thus requiring withholding release of all or select files.

The President's s/m call for release ..
"...the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to..."

He's controlling what's released!

Is it really hypocrisy, or is it a reveal that our highbrow educated governor and his law writing friends in the FL legislature are just not as bright as they think they are?
