I didn’t come with any climate change BS. I shared an article that showed that we are having more intense/larger fires while you are spiking the football. Just good to be aware that it’s actually a pretty significant problem.
LOL. I presented an article discussing proper forestry, which is “conservationism”, a long held believe well before you were born, son. You pissed and moaned about intense fires in your state making some goofy claim I was spiking a football, when in fact, your very liberal state no longer follows best practices of conservationism within it’s vast forests. You might actually want to understand science and what is being presented before you, in fact, attempt to spike the football and then move the goal post. What you did was more like Charlie Brown attempting to kick the football and falling on his butt after Lucy pulled the football.

The Bible is a big book. Smart people aren’t fooled by the socialist mischaracterization of Christ. The story of Ananius and Sapphira in Acts Chapter 5 is in direct contrast to that belief. The Catholic Church essentially ex-communicated Galileo for pushing the idea of heliocentrism. The Church claimed the universe was geocentric based on a lone verse, Psalm 104:5 which reads “He has set the Earth upon its foundations”.

Many “scholars” taught and still teach the Earth was created in 6 literal days, as opposed to understanding the author of Genesis had fewer words available than those of the modern times. Yom has multiple meanings based upon the lack of words. Yom (day) can equal a 24 hour period or it can mean a very long period of time as in the day of the dinosaurs. Using the correct interpretation of “day” here means the Earth was created over 6 very long periods and frankly those very 6 days describe well how the Earth was created and how we got here in an oversimplified, non-scientific way. Scholars didn’t have to misinterpret the Creation story, but they did it anyway for centuries even after discoveries of creatures appearing to be well older than the 6 literal day time script interpretation of the Bible and evidence of happenings on Earth well before any life existed on this planet. Science is not pro or anti-Christian, but “scholars” have discredited themselves time and time again.

The Bible is a roadmap to an individual relationship with the Creator. You can believe what you want, but what you aren’t going to do here is use your religion to burden other people. Your burden is yours, not mine.
Keep believing the goofs in your little bubble.
Don't try to justify taking from the poor by using bizarre interpretations of the Bible.

My Grandfather was a Presbyterian Minister, who would walk deep into the Adirondack forests using the railroad tracks to Minister at logging camps.
He was called "The Sky Pilot" in a book written about his life.

Sunday mornings broke and hungover loggers would tap on his bedroom window, asking for a $ loan.
Instead, he would give them a chit with .25 or .50 cents printed. They had to visit the local diner, for a meal worth what was printed.
Monday he would pay up the chits presented.

Look at the fine loving of his neighbors as himself this left wing judge is doing.


A friend was building a large, 5,000 sq ft Spec house in the woods. He was using copper piping throughout. Copper delivered, stolen that night !
New load delivered next week, second load stolen.

Hires a retired NJSP Trooper, has the Trooper sit on Lazy-boy on back porch. Trooper would practice shooting his 12 Guage off the porch at roving deer !

No more thefts !

Whatever benefits the poor will receive from the tax cuts will be less than the benefits being cut from Medicaid and SNAP.
The illegals are losing benefits along with people who are well able to work.

The tax rates are being maintained as you know, not cut. Since you believe in high tax rates tell your why Hell No we aren’t going to Florida - we are going to Cali. Quit posting like a moron. You don’t get rich by stealing from those who have nothing. Just dumb Jeff

And now that you have found God, isn’t there a saying about teaching a man to fish? Please elaborate for me because I’m not as up on it as you. Lastly, I hope you are donating a size-able chunk of your wealth to the needy since Trump is screwing them.

We have lost the local fish monger here West of West Point.

He or his 70 year old Son would drive to the NYC Fish Market every morning and sell out their store, whatever they brought back in their truck !

He was 92 !

Not sure if it was Wuhan Flu or just retired to play golf ?

I’m not shocked someone quoting biblical scholars supports policies that actually hurt the blessed poor.

I have been a believer for my entire life. The teach a man to fish is not from the Bible, it is a Chinese proverb.

They are maintaining the lower tax rates by cutting programs that help the poor like Medicaid and SNAP.
Please tell me how cutting medical insurance and food assistance for the poor will help them.

UNCOACH'S APOLOGY

I have been waiting to see Uncoach apologize for saying that he liked the Pirro appointment. Also he claimed that her ethics were beyond attack. Now that her emails show that she was attacking Smartmatic and claiming that votes were being flipped to boost Trump and the RNC knowing along with FOX that the allegations were BS. They constantly claimed that Cuba funded the development of the software and Venezuela developed it and some country in Europe were identifying the votes they wanted flipped. Turns out she was sucking up to get a pardon for her tax fraud tax cheat husband. When Trump did not grant the pardon on his first list she went ballistic and said F him I won't do anything for him any more. Then Trump changed his mind and she went back to pushing Trump's lies. Now she has her reward. High ethics Uncoach. This is the most corrupt unethical President and Administration this country has ever seen.

Epstein;

ANOTHER Federal Judge has refused to release Grand Jury minutes in the EpMax case.

That 2 for 2 refusals to release EITHER Federal Grand Jury testimony.

So much for the so-called Legal Beagles here that said GJ testimony was no longer secret.
You’re confused. We all said nothing would come of the Grand Jury testimony.

Great, you admit that they are maintaining, not cutting rates. The rich and really people like you won’t be taxed more. But your opposition says you want most Americans to pay higher taxes

Now, time to admit you want illegals in this country and you also want them to receive government aid since that is who is being cut!

In addition, admit for everyone that you were never a Reagan conservative since Reagan clearly wanted the able bodied to work! (The other group that is being “cut”).

Making the able bodied work will help them with their laziness. Kicking illegals off will help them make the decision to leave the country.

Getting rid of both of these groups will help the truly needy since the illegals and able bodied are really the ones stealing from the poor.

Only 9% of those on Medicaid are impacted by the new work requirements. It is a myth that most people on Medicaid don't work. In addition, they are raising co-pays for certain Medicaid recipients. This is just taking money directly from the pockets of the poor. Also adding more bureaucracy to discourage people from staying on Medicaid.

For SNAP benefits they are raising the working requirement age from 54 to 64. Need to stop those poor older people from getting food assistance.

You don't even know what's in the Trump bill.

You disagree with this?
