I’m love this, especially if there are a bunch of incentives for D-line performance, recruiting, and if we win.
The issue with this approach, is that at work, we have a Enterprise ChatGPT account, so all other AI is blocked, meaning that when Google gives me AI results on a topic, all I see is an error.
The polymarkets site have odds on what the emergency will be that causes them to evacuate the poll watchers so that midnight vote counting can happen.
It will be beautiful if he mentions that Paxton proposes naming a highway after him once elected and that pushed him to an endorsement.

It is probably pretty hard to succeed when you are actively addicted to meth. I’m not sure a new set of chompers is going to be enough to send meth addicts flying up the corporate ladder.



You are missing the point. Imagine if you will, millions of people unable to be documented because they live in the streets, all receiving expensive dental care so they can be successful. Now imagine how many "dental offices" could pop up to utilize that funding without anyone being able to really follow up on how much actual dental work takes place, or where the money actually goes.

Now image how good you will feel when you see a meth head with great teeth, smiling at your family while crapping on the sidewalk.

It is a classic Democrat program.

I thought everyone already knew this, Tesla was AC power in opposition to Edison wanting to be able to sell everyone a DC generator to light their homes.

It’s why Edison created the electric chair to scare people about AC power.

Cornyn introduces legislation to rename US Highway 287 as Interstate 47 in honor of Trump


To be fair to Corny, being a Rino for 3.5 years and then doing a couple PR stunts like this has been enough to get him re-elected in the past. I'm hoping my fellow Texans don't fall for it this time, this guy is an establishment piece of crap and should have been gone years ago.

Where are these lower property taxes occurring?

I know Texas has it


Where in TX? I am in Montgomery County and even though they increased the homestead exemption, with the higher values my taxes still went up this year.
Thanks, I am always looking to learn and grow from different opinions.

I don’t think Heiser’s approach is “let ANE myths decide what the Bible means.” On his big pillars like Psalm 82 and Deut 32, he’s basically saying: start with what the Hebrew text is actually doing, and then check it against the Bible’s own patterns. With Deut 32, a lot of the debate is even about which wording is original in the manuscripts (“sons of God” vs. “sons of Israel”), not “what did pagans think.” And with Psalm 82, he’s reading it alongside other Bible passages that talk about God’s heavenly court/council (like Psalm 89), not just importing ideas from outside.


That said, I do think some of the pushback I have seen is fair once you get into his more “connected universe” stuff like Bashan/Hermon references, lots of Genesis 6/Watchers connections. I’m grateful for what he brought back into view, but I’m also comfortable holding some of those bigger linkages a bit looser than he sometimes did.

quote:

What he did, in practice, was interpret the Bible according to other writings, like the Book of Enoch, and used ANE myths to shed light on biblical interpretation.


I have read a lot of his work and listened to his podcasts, so I'm interested to understand where Heiser lets Enoch override the Hebrew/Greek text instead of using it as background information. Is there a commentary or information you can point me to?
quote:

As someone who was deep into that stuff over a decade ago, I have to say that Heiser's hermeneutic was non-biblical. He interpreted the Bible according to ancient near eastern religions and worldviews, rather than interpreting the Bible according to the Bible.


Not to derail the thread, but Heiser’s premise is that the Bible has to be read in the context that produced it (ancient Near East / Mediterranean). He wasn’t using pagan religion as authority, he was using ANE material as historical background so we don’t project modern meanings into ancient texts. He even says all other contexts (including later denominational traditions) are “foreign” and must be made subordinate to the Bible’s own context.

In his own “laws for Bible study,” his first principles are:

“There is no substitute for close attention to the biblical text.”
Pay attention to original languages / don’t rely on one English translation.
Look for patterns and networks in the text.
The NT’s use of the OT matters for how prophecy and interpretation work.

Pratt doesn't really have any policy ideas of his own.


I would argue this is still better than the Democrats policies. Doing nothing is better than actively destroying.
quote:

It literally mentions angels procreating with human women in Genesis 6!


Some of y’all need to go read the work Michael Heiser has done of angels and demons, and his reversing Hermon book.

He explains where the term Angel comes from and why we should understand that it is a job description that an Elohim has and not a descriptor for an entity.

Also he does a great job of explaining the sons of god information.

Hungary can be the first member of a new alliance we create to replace NATO.

I had AI help with some potential names for the organization, and I think these have potential.
1st pass:
USDADDY — United States Defense Alliance Directing Dependent Yurope
NATBRO — North Atlantic Treaty Broganzation
GUNCLE — Grand Unified North-Atlantic Coalition Led by Europe’s Uncle
FREEDOMMAXX — Federated Response Entity for European Defense, Order, and Military Axis Xtreme
EAGLEDADDY — Expeditionary Atlantic Guard Led Entirely by Daddy
BUFFPATRIOT — Burden-Undoing Federal Force for Pan-Atlantic Treaty Response and Intervention Operations Team
OILTO — Organization for Intervention, Logistics, and Transatlantic Oversight
RAHHO — Rapid Atlantic Hegemony and Homeland Oversight
MURICATO — Mutual Unified Response and Intervention Coalition for Atlantic Treaty Oversight
DADTO — Defense Alliance Directed Totally by America

I said to make it more believable and got these:
CUSTODIAN — Collective Union for Security, Treaty Oversight, Deterrence, and Intervention Across Nations
STEWARD — Strategic Treaty for European War-readiness, Assurance, Response, and Deterrence
USAFE — Unified Security Alliance for Europe
AIDEN — Atlantic Integrated Defense and Enforcement Network
GUARD — General Union for Atlantic Response and Deterrence
SHIELD — Security Harmonization Initiative for European and Atlantic Layered Defense
PACTUS — Pan-Atlantic Collective Treaty for Unified Security
STABLE — Strategic Treaty Alliance for Burden-sharing and European Logistics
ANCHOR — Atlantic Network for Collective Homeland and Overseas Response
PILLAR — Partnership for Integrated Logistics, Leadership, and Atlantic Response
FORGE — Framework for Overseas Response, Governance, and European security
STEAD — Strategic Treaty for European Assurance and Deterrence
PRIDE — Partnership for Regional Intervention, Defense, and Enforcement

It makes sense that the pedophiles in Hollywood and DC are upset about Trump, so this shouldn’t be that surprising.

I have fiber at the main house, but they wouldn’t run it to the house on the back end of the property. AT&T Air is good enough to stream video on a couple devices at the same time, but not nearly as fast as fiber.

I have it set up with a mesh WiFi 6 deco system and it works fine.
The ceiling for return on our investment is much higher in South America than it is in Europe, we should focus on building up our neighbors instead of Europe, and then they will want to stay in their own countries.
I'm in Texas, and I know plenty of Indians and work with a few, and they are very nice and hard workers. I'd trade them for the muzzies every day.
