Based on Bronze Age campfire stories.

Hi Doc Sarvis:

I finished reading Virginia Roberts Giuffre's book Nobody's Girl; hope you can borrow it from your library.

That book should have taken me two to three days to read, but I had to put it down after every chapter, so it took me almost ten days.

That poor girl never had a chance in life.

BTW: Republican Mike Huckabee may not be alone in his Bronze Age campfire sentiments about Israeli expansion.

This is a bipartisan Congressional junket to Israel circa 2019: www.youtube.com

Well, whether there is a Creator God or not, as people like neuroscientist Andrew Huberman and many others now think that there is...

... Huckabee and most other of these MAGA white nationalist faux Christians are just flat wrong about Christian theology.

Even a knowledgeable Jew will tell you that after the Messiah has come, all the lands are Holy, not just Israel.

They just happened to miss the part where he was already here.

And the aforementioned fake Christisns are the ones who, according to scripture, fall away from the Church and towards the Antichrist... as we have seen with Trump, which is one of the dozens of ways which describe that person.

You get the idea that a Sunni NATO is coming. Already Turkey and Egypt are cozying up to one another. Algeria, Syria and many of the eastern African and gulf states will soon jump aboard. Eventually, Morocco and the UAE will flip. Jordan will be the last.

Cuckabibi loves to let Israel screw the country the cuck is supposed to be putting first.

People, this isn't about a religion.

If that were true Gaza would be rebuilt as an enormous synagogged landscape.

Casinos and resorts are undoubtedly similar enough to Israeli.

Huckabee knows this.

There's just something about people that are looking forward to The Apocalypse because they think it validates their faith/delusion that makes me think they don't belong anywhere near power or influence in the real world.
