- intellectual arguments don't sell in the public marketplace.

The current public marketplace in this country has been intentionally dumbed down and underpaid so as to make them pliable rwing voters.

Wright and John Lennox sell 100,000s of thousands of books around the world, though; Wright's New Testament translation is highly regarded:

And atheists (and agnostics) have likable intellectuals like Alex O'Conner (More Alex O'Conner on yt), who are unlike the former Edgy Atheists that teed off intellectual atheists like Brian Appleyard:

Wright is significant in this country, beyond his scholarship world wide, in that he has introduced modern American Protestants to some lost concepts, including that the Rapture isn't what most rwingers think it is; an old book and movie called Left Behind.

And that, among other things, a 'soul' going to 'Heaven' at death is Plato, not Jesus, who taught New Creation, ie; Heaven on Earth.

These are disturbing concepts for White Nationalist Evangels.

@#17 ... Once Republicans used socialist as a perjorative ...

Then there is Pres Trump who seems to be using his occupancy powers of the Oval officeto advance his family's business interests.


Trump Organization eyes multi-billion-dollar projects in Vietnam amid tariff risks (May 2025)

... Trump Org, partner plan up to four Vietnam golf, hotel projects. First $1.5 bln project to break ground in May, spokesman says. Second project could be announced by year's end, spokesman says. Hanoi has big trade surplus, vowed measures to avoid US duties.

The Trump Organization and its partner in Vietnam are working on multiple investments worth billions of dollars in golf courses, hotels and real estate projects in the Southeast Asian country, a spokesman for the consortium told Reuters.

The plans by the family business of U.S. President Donald Trump are proceeding amid risks of U.S. tariffs on Vietnam, which has one of the world's largest trade surpluses with Washington and last year exported goods worth 30% of its GDP to the United States ...



One of the decision was based upon a technicality in the wording of the law.

Supreme Court opens door for Trump to restart border turnback policy
courthousenews.com

... According to the conservative majority, the proposition "in" means within the limits, bounds or area of. Therefore, Alito said, a person arrives in a geographic location only when he enters it. ...

It seems the Trump admin interpretation of the wording of the law is that, if the Trump admin prevents an asylum seeker from crossing the border, then that asylum seeker does not fulfill the wording of the law that the asylum seeker has to be "in" the Country.

And the conservative majority of SCOTUS agreed.


I'm sorry to read that Red Light Robot.
UNICEF issued a report which I'm sure you saw in one of my OPs that the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) are specifically targeting Palestinian children, like serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
The trolls will now bleat that you -- like me -- are suffering from "Gaza Obsession Syndrome" or "West Bank Derangement Syndrome," which is the new tactic to secure a Democratic AIPAC vote on progressive websites.
On conservative websites, the pro-Israel trolls disparage Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, and MTG to secure the Republican AIPAC vote. These four are slimed as antisemites and AIPAC money knocked Congress Thomas Massie out in the primary several weeks ago.
AIPAC and Israel have both political parties covered pretty well.
So, I guess you are a "Muslim lover" and I am a "Jew hater," or vice versa, when being a humanitarian is above religion.
And if the Israelis are so innocent, noble, and "just" in their pursuits, why do they need to employ 40,000 online trolls targeting Americans 24/7 with PSYOP like A. Fiend, CutiePie, "R2D2," or a few other suspects on drudge.com?

The Israeli first action is white phosphorus on children - mainly schools where they are concentrated.

The second action are attacks against policing - mainly those responding to the first strike - they want to terrorize civilians.

In this manner Israeli attempt depopulating.

I believe the years of "rocketeers" were Israeli or operating on their behalf, not Palestinians.

The nuns who snuck footage out of Gaza shown hours and hours of circuitous rubble paths through multiple checkpoints where you are never assured to reach your destination, all the while just in sight is a massive wall surrounding Gaza armed with turrets. Emergency services included.

I can't recall anyone on this site believing any of that data, and yes, some projected ridicule and claimed "antisemitism".

October 7th was planned, funded and executed by Netanyahu.

Palestine has been annexed and de-populated since the first uprising against the British occupation.

Trolls are not brave, but they are perhaps learning their ignorance is acquiescence to racist butchers.


In 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower saw the M65 "Atomic Annie" artillery system at his inaugural parade, but he did not witness the above test explosion.

The US Army deployed approximately 20 M65 systems in Europe and South Korea which were constantly moved around to avoid enemy detection until this "prestige weapon" was retired in 1963.

This is personally very emotionally difficult testimony.

Around the 16 minute mark is a perfect description of Israeli.

A 14 year old in Al Farah refugee camp in West Bank was shot leaving his home to go play.

He was left to bleed out in front of his mother.

The Israeli not only shot at his mother, but also EMT's.

One of the ghouls dropped a rock next to his dying body to frame him as a "stone thrower".

He was only a few months younger than I was when I lost my family, and similarly the authorities just watched and laughed.

snip ... (from the Amazon.com site):

Raised in the evangelical world, Rihanna grew up believing that voting Republican wasn't a preference; it was a responsibility.

Then came 2016.

When Donald J. Trump was elected, many questioned how Christians could support someone who didn't exactly mirror the image of Jesus. Inside the culture, though, the answer seemed obvious ... until it didn't.

So I set out to find the truth.

This book takes a deep, chapter-by-chapter dive through the entire Bible"yes, every single chapter"to uncover the undeniable, crystal-clear, absolutely not-forced-at-all evidence that Donald Trump is God's chosen one.

Backed by years of ministry training and careful biblical interpretation, no verse is taken out of context, stretched beyond recognition, or used in a way it was never intended.*

After reviewing everything Scripture has to offer ...

...you'll find exactly what you'd expect.

snip ...

Rihanna Teixeira, like so many Americans, found herself with some credit card debt that proved difficult to conquer. She cast about for various ways to raise money, and eventually connected the fact that (1) she grew up in an evangelical household with the fact that (2) evangelicals love Donald Trump. So, she decided to write a book.

The book, which you can find for sale here, is entitled Scriptural Evidence That Trump Is Set Apart by God: Biblical Proof that Trump Will Save America.

We were only able to review the sample of the book that is available online, so it's probably best to share a few reviews from people who have been able to read the whole thing:
