I’ve had a couple patients sell their land to them. They said the financial offers were absolutely insane.

my in-laws in West Texas have a farm that has been in the family for 100+ years and my 79 YO FIL still runs cattle out there. 400 acres.

They've held off when they had offers of 500, 1000, and 1500 an acre. Now he's hearing that some of the data center people are starting to offer north of 10k for water rights and power easements.

even though we all hate the idea, none of us are moving out there to take over the farm, and he'd rather be able to sell it and absorb as much of the tax burden himself and pass the money on to his kids and grandkids without us having to mess with it.

i thought he'd hold on, but in reality, nobody else is and why be the last person that held out when the getting is good.

:dunno:

I'd argue 90s to 2014 or so.

I'll also say that from 2005 on, half of the Heisman winners definitely or were adjacent to cheating/paying players.

:lol:


Meant with no offense to Bama's dynasty, but the sport got a bit more boring around then. I like the parity more now, but it's just mercenary ball at this point which ruins it a bit. I like that we've had multiple champs in recent years, but it's all just who paid for a large roster now.


Also of note when I was researching the above statment about paid players... I had no idea that Jim Tressel was the Lt Governor of Ohio. :lol:

I think young Christians see the fruit of dispensationalism, they see that its rotten, and they are tired of older Christians gaslighting them into believing its good fruit.

Young white Christians are told that its the Christians of modernity(and all the degeneracy that came with it) that got it right. The Christians of yesteryear(that built the most beautiful cities, art, infrastructure...western civilization) got it wrong for segregating Jews and/or kicking them out of their country. You see we are the good Christians, the 1900 years before us...they were bad

I asked both my dad and FIL about this over Christmas. Both Deacons in the SBTC.

They both had the same answer of referring back to Genesis 15 and 16. Neither conversations were combative, but they were entirely ignorant of Romans 11-13, and surprisingly ignorant of the current state of Israel. Neither of them knew about anything after the Balfour Declaration and neither of them knew how rampant abortion and LGBT stuff was.

Don't fault either man, but there are a million things they could convince me of, but I was entirely unconvinced by either of their arguments, and honestly surprised that their opinions of Israel didn't go past the Old Testament. I wasn't as well researched as Tucker on this about citizenship requirements, but know a whole lot of the geopolitical history due to Martyr Made and reading things (pro and anti-Zionist) since 10/7/23.

There is something about people 60+ that are convinced aligning with a secular nation that mocks their Savior morally and religiously earns them brownie points with God, but it's lost on people younger than that.

My son came home from a Christian university and I had made a joke about Nicholas Fuentes to which he made a "the joos" joke.

I asked him about it and he went through a list of immoral things committed and pushed upon the American people by secular Jews (that I already knew about) by naming names in the LGBT movement, rampant immigration, porn, abortion, usury, etc.

I'm not anti-Israel. I am more pro-Israel than I am any other nation in the Middle East, but I can still recognize that they are the least awful country in a pile of awful countries.

This is my only miss of his IMHO. I liked Arthur OK.

RocknRolla, Sherlock Holmes, Wrath of Man, Operation Fortune, Gentlemen, Covenant, Aladdin, Man from UNCLE, with 2 small misses is a good run.

Texan that lives 30 miles from him. There is nothing conservative about him.

He fakes the Christian thing because he went to a Presbyterian Seminary, but is pro trans, gay, and abortion. Absolutely none of his messaging involves repenting and believing in Christ. I may have missed something, but i haven't seen anything proving otherwise.

agreed. he's not entirely wrong on a lot of points, but man some dumb ways to say things. :lol:

I actually feel blessed to have both in the same era that didn’t step on each other.

Different takes but both very well done and stand on their own.
