Russia, blowing up the Irony Klaxon again:
“The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to missile and bomb attacks, whatever the arguments it may be presented with, flagrantly violates international law.”

Yeah, I love my grandma’s cooking, but all her recipe books were from Southern loving in like the 70’s and 80’s, and it did NOT have the heat. But she too was originally from Southern IL. And we grew up in Texas.

This is when the Midwest discovered “Tex-Mex” and that even /it/ was too spicy.

What led you to go with the Chevy version versus the Prologue/ZDX. I love Hondas, so I’m trying to talk myself out of the prologue from my next vehicle.

Is the Equinox built on the same platform as the Honda Prologue?

Many times, you are just allowing the company to claim a bigger portion of their income was given went to non-profit activities, reducing their tax burden without them actually doing anything extra.

Don’t forget to replace your timing belt every 100k! Don’t want that thing to snap and ruin your valves. While they are in there, you might as well have replace the water pump, since it involves a lot of the same process.

I think the important thing is that only a few people have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Yes, I should have caveated that. The only way that a nuclear power can achieve victory is by not launching first. We could literally do anything we wanted as a nuclear power because no one wants to be the one to launch first. If you are 1st, you lose any standing as a rational actor.

While I cherish the lives of the Iranian people who opposed their government, I hope that the head is completely severed from the body, and that true freedom would rise up on its place. But you are right.

Seppuku?

For whether they were naturalized or not. Amalek was destroyed because they did not care for their distant cousins while they wandered the desert. What do we think our end will be if we don’t care for those trying to make a better life in America?

When Jesus speaks to it, it is about caring for the strangers among us, wherever we are, because we might be strangers at some point too, and it’s a loving thing to do. Even in respect to the Jewish nation, the command to care for the stranger in the land was most important, over any consideration

Almost all of the speaking that Scripture does on the topic of immigration is in relation to the establishment of the Jewish state. There might be a caveat when it comes to obeying the rulers that are placed over you, but even that is more about Christian testimony.

Only every pilot ever. Air transportation is not something you want in the hands of every Joe Schmoe. AI is probably worse at it.

There’s a whole database of us certificate holders, searchable by last name or certificate number. The fact that it took this long for anyone to do the research is ridiculous.

I’m just cynical enough to say that they are lulling us in to being confident they can be defeated, only to then ramp things up and go full on 1933 Germany.

Ben, I have only read chapter 8, so I look forward to reading the preceding chapters. But Dan is giving me extremely creepy vibes. He’s very smooth. You’ve done a really good job capturing the ick.

However, will ever really know if Bibi’s claims re: Iran’s nuclear bomb progress have even a glint of truth? Not at all likely. Not for a long time.
Will we ever know if the Trump admin tacitly gave its approval even as it publicly claims it knew but didn’t approve? Nope.

For certain events, this may/may not be true. For instance, will we learn what happened to the Air India airplane that crashed? It is very likely we will, as air carriers and Boeing have an overwhelming interest in getting the 787 fleet back in the air ASAP.
