Officially, no; in reality, yes.

Yes, you can say that if you are a true believer and follow Christ's teachings that you will tithe whether you get to claim that on your taxes or not. However, sadly that's not the reality of the world.

Actually, around only 10% of tax fillers utilize today with Trump’s increase in the standard deduction.

So, while the largest givers likely can still deduct their charitable contributions, the vast majority of people cannot…and there doesn’t seem to be a clear church deficit today based on my personal experience.

He didn't create this problem. Iran did.

Iran did, along with Carter. And, no president since then had the balls to address it until now.

I hope Trump does not lose Congress because of this war; however, he has to be congratuated that he had the backbone to do something no other president would even though they all knew it was necessary due to politics.

Yes, I agree. I am continually amazed by the number of people that fall for the Israeli propaganda that calls the Muslims awful and the Israelis always righteous and pure; or in this case, just some bad judgement.

Do you even have any clue how ridiculous you and the Israelis sound?

---

No, in general and as a group, society, and religion, "the Muslims [are] awful."

However, very, very few would say that "the Israelis [are] always righteous and pure"; however, statisically speaking, I would come down on Israel side nine of of ten times.

I may be wrong, but I will be shocked if these folks burn their own neighborhoods, unlike our rioters in the US. Of course, the difference is one is acting because they have a vested interest in their country and their homes while the others are acting as if they were raised with no self-respect...

Is that 1st or 2nd degree?

If I read correctly, TX does not have that distinction.

It was a time when there was a total power vacuum, the army was defeated and people were confused and hungry. Communism's history of failure had not yet been written into history.

If I have it correctly based on the book, "Wilson's War," the US was paying Russia to keep their military on the front lines during WWI at that time to keep the Axis tied up. While all of their military-aged young men were off fighting, the left took control.

Yahoo News - AP

I read this to see if the article meant their home or used "home" as a reference to America. Shockingly, it turns out they moved back to their Latin American home of origin.

More than half of the 15 Latin Americans deported in April to Congo under the Trump administration's widely criticized crackdown on migrants have returned to their countries of origin, the Congolese government and one of their lawyers said Friday.

U.S. immigration judges have ruled they were likely to face persecution back home.

Congo is one of at least eight African nations with which the U.S. has struck third-country deportation deals.

Under a series of often-secret agreements, the Trump administration has deported thousands of people to nearly two dozen countries that are not their own, advocates say. Immigration lawyers said the administration uses deportations to third countries as a legal loophole to indirectly force asylum seekers back to their home countries.

Here is the funny part. The conclusion from the article is...

The lawyer said the migrants had been granted protections against removal to their home country by U.S. federal courts, which ruled they were likely to face persecution if they returned.

"The fact that they chose to return there anyway raises serious concerns that they likely felt backed into a corner because no viable alternative was presented to them," David said.

The writer of the article missed the obvious conclusion: that the excuse of not wanting to back to their home country as it being dangerous was a lie in order to try to stay in the US with our "generous" tax payers providing most of their needs.

Thank you for providing the video even if I wasn't listening.
