I miss Dim-Sum off of Airline Hwy.

I guess it’s no different than being fascinated by history…I ain’t going to Egypt with a shovel, but I enjoy reading about it and making my on conclusions.

Not really…Everyone is guessing or has faith in sone idea. The same scientific consensus you’ve so sure about today will likely have a different consensus in a century or so. Your faith just happens to be in a more recent idea. Know one really KNOWS.

It’s gonna be really difficult to humanely kill all the crawfish in three sacks :lol:

A government can wreck an economy in months, but fixing it takes years. Unfortunately, we never give any policy that kind of time. Election cycles and voter mood swings guarantee that whatever starts under one administration gets reversed by the next.

So even if Trump’s policies work, we’ll only ever see the opening act before he loses the House, gets buried in investigations, and the media cycle takes over. Then a Democrat wins, reverses everything by executive order, gets two years before Congress flips, and nothing sticks. Rinse and repeat.

At this point it barely matters who’s right. We are not running economic policy, we’re running a loop.

The real issue is not whether intervention is ever justified but how high the bar should be. I think that bar has been too low for a long time, which has pulled us into conflicts we did not need to be in and could not really control. That does not mean intervention is never right. There are situations where a country is clearly expanding, conquering others, and becoming a threat that will be much harder to deal with later. In those cases, acting earlier, carefully, and with clear limits can make more sense than waiting until the costs are higher and the options are worse.

That is also why anything beyond very specific and limited actions, like targeting terrorist networks, should require a formal declaration of war. If we are committing the country to sustained military action, there should be a clear decision, defined objectives, and public accountability. Without that, intervention becomes too easy, too open ended, and disconnected from its real costs.

He is another place holder in a long line, eventually lighting has to strike and we actually get a reform Governor who will actually turn this state around.

Yet his business partners are Christian, his network is full of Christians who push Christian values. :dunno:

It works Scripturally. I don’t know enough to speak on etymological reasoning.

Even if Jesus were understood in Nazirite terms, that would not affect his ethnic identity, he would still be Jewish by descent, including Davidic lineage as traditionally claimed.

The point I’m making is that ethnically Jesus was Jewish. However, the religion practiced during the Second Temple period is not the same as what modern Jews practice today. After the destruction of the Temple, that religious tradition diverged among Jews at the time. One stream followed the Pharisaic tradition, which eventually developed into Rabbinic Judaism. This included the introduction of new interpretive frameworks such as the Mishnah, Midrash, and later rabbinic authorities, along with changes in religious requirements, resulting in a tradition that is meaningfully distinct from Temple Judaism.

Another stream followed “the Way,” which later became known as Christianity. From this perspective, Christianity represents the continuation of Temple-period Judaism, whereas Rabbinic Judaism can be understood as a divergent religious development, comparable, in structural terms, to how Islam relates to earlier biblical traditions.

For these reasons, the Christian community is not theologically bound to the Jewish community as it exists today. Christianity does not derive from Rabbinic Judaism; rather, both traditions emerged from the same Second Temple context and developed along separate trajectories after the destruction of the Temple. Any modern alignment between Christians and the State of Israel is therefore not a matter of religious obligation or doctrinal continuity, but largely a political and historical response. In particular, the rise and actions of Islam, along with the legacy of Nazi atrocities and the moral reckoning following World War II, have shaped Western Christian sympathies. When Christians take a political stance, it is often because one side appears more culturally or morally aligned with their values, not because Christianity is dependent on, or subordinate to, modern Judaism.

I’m attempting to make headless hog head cheese today. It’s my 1st attempt so it will probably be a disaster :lol:
