Q. What is it to embrace Christ? A. It is, like Simeon, to clasp him in the arms of faith, with complacency and delight; Luke 2:28. Q. Where is it that faith embraces him? A. In the promises of the gospel, Heb. 11:13 — Fisher's Catechism 31.9-10

The perfect ending for Justin Verlander. His daughter runs out to the mound and he walks off with his family. Feels like a movie.

Justin Verlander’s final career start ended with his daughter running out to meet him on the mound. What a moment in Detroit. 🥹

Maryland football closed as just 1.5-point underdogs. They lost by 51. The 49.5-point swing against the spread is one of the largest in the history of organized football. A defeat of almost incomprehensible proportions.

Final | Maryland 3 UCLA 54 Completely demoralizing loss for Maryland. It couldn't come at a worse time for Locksley and the Terps. Maryland gave up 475 yards and looked defeated by halfway through the second quarter. Lots of questions about where this team goes from here.

Taylor was also one of the most conservative Dems in the House in those days, and more conservative than many GOP Reps. He was socially conservative and a foreign policy hawk. He became a Republican in 2014.

After Bart Stupak compromised on Obamacare, many pro-life Dems backed the bill. The backlash in 2010 was immense. Oberstar and Taylor (who voted against Ocare) both lost. Stupak retired. By 2015, only 12 of the 64 Ds who backed the original Stupak amendment remained in Congress

I see very few political signs in front of houses near where I live in deep blue eastern Douglas County, Georgia. Back when Douglas was in the late David Scott's district, I'd see a bunch of signs for him. No Ossoff or KLB signs. I've seen a couple of Jackson signs, though.

Not buying it. He’s dictatorial commie scum.
Only time Xi smiled and had any life in his eyes was when he saw the constitution. Same look when he saw the Golden Gate Bridge.

📡 On September 25, 2001, XM Satellite Radio launched commercial service in Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego, becoming the first commercial satellite radio service in the U.S. XM had originally planned to launch on September 12, but postponed the rollout following the September 11 attacks. The service debuted with 100 channels of digital music, news, sports and talk

“Should the gov’t be able to take control of productive property, own major industries, decide where your money gets invested and tell you where you can work?” Then see if 43% still say yes. These socialism surveys’ toplines spread far and wide & influence DC punditry, but seldom does anyone look under the hood. Levin is right about the larger problem with this poll. Gallup doesn’t ask whether ppl support socialism as a system. It asks whether they have “positive/negative image” of the word socialism. No definition given. Gallup has itself said this question measures reactions to the word and that it does not establish what respondents actually mean by socialism. Gallup’s own research found only 17% of Americans defined socialism in the traditional sense of gov ownership or control of biz & economy. More associated it with equality, welfare, social services. Measuring whether ppl like a word whose meaning has become almost meaningless tells us very little about whether they support the system the word originally described.
GALLUP screaming headline that over 40% of Americans support socialism -- first time ever!  I believe this is entirely misleading. Well, the link is below.  I read it top to bottom.  So, let me ask a question that has not been asked about this: how do we know Gallup polled only Americans, and by that I mean American citizens?  What does Gallup mean by Americans?  I'm thinking there are an awful lot of people in our country (America) who are from the Third World or socialist regimes, some here legally and others illegally.  So, were those questions asked if there were actually Americans -- that is, American citizens?  Otherwise, the impression Gallup is leaving is that more actual Americans support socialism than a true sampling would find.  And we've had a record number of migrants pour into our country under Biden and the Democrats before President Trump put an end to it. news.gallup.com/poll/714653/… Here's Gallup's description of how it samples the population.  No reference to immigration status or citizenship. news.gallup.com/file/poll/71…

A quick correction - Mswati is 33, not 37. He takes about one new wife every year. And by “takes,” I mean TAKES. A teenage girl often disappears from school, with her parents and peers not figuring out where she has gone until she re-emerges betrothed to the King. A better life? Perhaps. But a non-consensual one.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson says that the Taliban has invited him to Afghanistan to discuss peace with the United States. The American government says that they will not stand in his way if he chooses to go.

Agree or disagree as you may with Dubya but I feel like he was fairly consistent with his comms and effort to explain the aims of the military actions he oversaw. Again, plenty of mistakes made. But you can’t say he didn’t try to persuade his countrymen on policy.
It is political malpractice on a war crimes level to be 7 months into a war without the POTUS clearly and consistently reminding Americans why we fight. I want to pull my hair out each time I see people here complaining about the price or flow of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz.

Primary elections are about you as a partisan picking the best standard bearer for the party heading into the general. General elections are about you as a citizen selecting who has earned your trust, if anyone.

Why are pro-Trump people fighting over whether to vote for Vivek in Ohio? I thought the standard argument was "the beliefs/character/morality of our candidate don't matter; all that matters is whether he's better than the other candidate"?
