“.. Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.)”

Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.

If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.

Good golly.
A ‘minced oath’ is a euphemistic expression formed by deliberately misspelling, mispronouncing, or replacing a part of a profanity.
Many minced oaths avoid taking the Lord’s name in vain.
For example, ‘gee whiz’ is mostly a minced oath for ‘Jesus.’
