The United States is assembling the greatest armada of modern warfare in or near the Persian Gulf. The reason for this, is to attempt to have Iran negotiate honestly with the U.S. on several issues or, suffer the consequences. Depending on who you listen to or read, there are people on both sides of this possible step to a war. I’m concerned more at the politicians in Washington that, when asked about the possibility of some sort of strike on Iran, grin at the possiblity.

As an outsider, it’s interesting to sit back and watch the total meltdown of conservatives online and of course, in the news. The left wing news just loves all the controversy that is happening on the rightt. In fact, they seem to be driving it more than attempting to explain what is going on,

When I became an atheist, to be honest, I really didn’t know any other non-believers. Or so I thought. As a few years went by, I discovered, even in my little town, that I was not completely alone in my disbelief. The difference was I was not afraid to talk about being an atheist to those believers, anxious to be the one to have me come back to Jesus.

The Second Coming of Christ. So they are eager to support whatever government exists in that small strip of land. For Christians ///9most) the ownership of the land is clear: just read the Old Testament scriptures. God gave this land to the Hebrews, the descendants of Abraham, end of story. No debate or argument allowed. Well, except the same scriptures show that there were other people that lived in that land before the now Jewish people and those people were driven away by the ancestors of these same people, according to their own sacred scriptures.

It’s amazing for me to see, on X, the reaction of many to Tucker Carlson’s interview with Israel Ambassador, Mike Huckabee. Most (99% or maybe 99.8%) are hateful takes on Carlson , referring to him as an antisemite, Jew hater, and more that are believe it or not, mpre hateful than these. I watched the interview not looking at it as a debate as it appears many here have.It was more of a discussion with both making good points. depending on the topic, but overall, when I see people remark as if it were a competiton of some sort, I see a failure in what I think they lost in the video.
