The new indictment will go to trial next year. The judge will likely rule that it meets requirements of SCOTUS, although a challenge of this will keep Trump in race, which will kill the GOP.
If GOP wins White House but not Congress, Harris can declare Vance will be acting President pending 14th Amendment. There is no conflict of interest because outcome has no effect on her.
DOJ cannot drop the case without District Court permission. Rule 48A is clear on this. This and incarceration options, in case of contempt or incompetence to stand trial need to be revealed regardless of election calendar need to be revealed. Withholding these options to keep Trump in a race he will lose is election interference; although letting Trump keep going is in interest of Democrats - who may lose to Nikki with coattails.
Trump will lose Texas. Ask Rove. Nikki voters will go for Kamala or Chase, not stay home. Current RCP average includes conservative polls designed to be biased. Ignore them. The only untruth at DNC was that this will be close.
There will be a deal. No trial. The only question is when.
The Bible: History or Fiction? The Discovery That's Shaking Foundations!...
Let's look at a few possibilities, which come courtesy of my studies at YouTube Theological University.
Original sin is not biologically inherited. Rather, it is renewed whenever someone dwells on whether other people are committing good or evil, rather than forgiving wrongs as Jesus directs.
Eden was found in a Kurdish refugee camp near Mount Ararat. Before the change in wind patterns which came with the Black Sea flooding, the site was the perfect paradise for hunter-gatherers who had to move down river to what is now Iraq, and then began the practice of farming - which we know started there. Hominids existed for millions of years, but by the time farming began, all other species had gone extinct.
The Canaanite and Sumeric pantheons are similar. The Phoenicians brought the pantheon from Tyre to where Carthage was, from which it went to Greece and then Rome. YHWH replaced Baal as the storm/war god and then YHWH and El were combined into the One God. Baal/El became Kronos and YHWH became Zeus. Those who think that Christianity is based on the Roman gods have it backwards. Hercules as a takeoff on the promised Messiah, not the other way around.
Horeb was the mountain of God, not Mt. Sainai. It was a small band who constructed pillars there and they likely fled the part of Egypt that was Canaan. The God-King of Salem was overthrown in the Bronze Age collapse, which allowed the northern kingdom to evolve. A Temple was found in the North in what is now part of Syria. Maybe this was the real thing - where those who were at Horeb constructed it.
The Bronze Age collapse pretty much maps onto the time of the Judges. Evidence suggests that there was never a unified kingdom, with Judah gaining the stragglers who were not taken by the Assyrians - never to return.
Some Roma scholars believe that the former captives moved east rather than west and became the Roma (who were converted by St. Thomas in India). They make this link because Roma religious custom is much closer to Israelite practice than Hindu practice. Centuries later, probably to escape Islam, migrations began to Europe. The Sinti and Manouches are generally light skinned, having intermarried with Germans, Ashkenazi Jews and Franks. Later waves are darker, including the two Calle peoples in Spain and Italy. The Kalderash are the darkest.
While David and Solomon are considered to be legendary, later kings in Israel and Judah have been identified in archeology. The question of whether God punished these nations because of their injustice to the poor, the widow and the orphan or whether these nations picked an awful place to put a country. When you locate at the spot where three continents meet, expect visitors.
Before the Exile, the Judeans still worshiped the old pantheon. There was no Torah. This was consolidated in Babylon as a way to hold the people in captivity together. When they returned in 538 BCE, Judaism was born. After 70 AD, Judaism left in the Diaspora. The entire existence of the Jewish Nation in Palestine was 607 years. Palestine became Christian with Rome - although St. Philip converted the Samaritans before then.
The Gospel of Luke says that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah. Jesus confirms this when coming down from Mt. Tabor after the Transfiguration.
James Tabor thinks that Paul wrote the Gospel of Mark. Q fleshed it out with the sayings of Jesus. Because most people were literate in the Jewish community - and we know several of the Apostles were, the fact that someone probably wrote these things down as they happened is not far fetched.
The ban on divorce had as much to do with putting your spouse away to "marry up" based on family pressure. It is ironic that Catholics would essentially interfere with gay marriages at their hospitals when Jesus said that families need to respect the marriages of their children, rather than trying to "save them" by having them renounce the relationship that led to estrangement from the family of origin.
YHWH is That which Is. In Essence, the Father is Being Itself. The Son is both Jesus and the Word by which the Universe was created. The Spirit is both Love and breath. The Spirit would have been known to Jesus as the feminine aspect of YHWH. Jesus had two mommies.
Those who do not believe in a transcendent God still believe in Being (the Universe), the Word (Physics) and Spirit (Love and Breath). One conception is as good as the other. For the Godhead to be perfect, it must be absolutely humble, meaning that it is comfortable and happy with Itself and cannot be made unhappy by creation.
Jesus used humor. Sadly, the condemnation of pederasty which came when he had the little children come to him has been placed in the Sermon on the Mount, where it does not belong, and is followed by the gouging of eyes and the cutting off of hands. Jesus was actually making fun of the obsession with sin.
One of the sayings of Jesus was that he (and he and the Father are One) is gentle and humble of heart, whose yoke is easy and his burden light. When he talks of the Father being perfect, he is speaking about perfection in Love, not avoidance of evil. Again, we make up evil. When we make moral pronouncements which are not based in what makes people happy in this life, we are doing evil - taking yet another bite of the Tree of Knowledge.
If you combine the Synoptic Gospels and John and address the question of whether Jesus sinned when he drank from the vinegar and hyssop soaked sponge - which John says he did - then salvation had to have been when Jesus called out to the Father in anguish - and that this was the completion of his divine vision quest into the broken heart of man - with that quest coming to a head when he essentially told Mary that he was dead - and told John to care for his grandmother - thus abandoning the Messianic quest. The promise that Jesus would not drink until the coming of the kingdom shows that it was the heartbreak, not the death of Jesus, that brought salvation.
The first ending of Mark was probably the most accurate, with Jesus meeting the disciples in Galilee when they went fishing. Any other encounters follow that one. James and Joses (Jesus' brothers) likely did see him in traveling to Emmaus sometime after Peter and his crew (Andrew, James and John - sons of Salome and Zebedee). Pentecost is too convenient to have occurred, as the original feast celebrates the giving of the Old Law.
The existence of Hell was a product of leakage from Zoroastrianism. The Jewish afterlife was sleep in Sheol, which the Temple Priesthood/Sadducees still held to. Jesus was in the Pharisee party as a Rabbi who likely went to Yeshiva with his cousin John, so he preached Resurrection. Since he also taught that John the Baptist had been previously incarnate, there was no need to open Heaven, as it had never closed as the original sin is to not forgive.
The Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man probably was a jibe at his brother in law, who he had raised from the dead, by calling him a poor beggar. The point of the story is not the existence of Hell, it was that if Moses and the Prophets were not enough to teach justice for the poor, someone rising from the dead would not have an effect. That person rising from the dead was Jesus.
Joseph of Arimathea (a relative of Mary and John the Baptist) likely took Jesus body to a tomb on his property after the end of the Sabbath at sundown on Saturday, where it rotted with the bones placed in an osury, along with those of his family, including his mother. In the 1980s, there was a collapse of that tomb and it was excavated.
The bones are now in storage at Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Would the fact that the bones exist (and that Jesus would not want them venerated), shake your faith or your proof?
The answer on Hawai'i is for Berkeley and U Hawaii to insist that native Hawaiians have the same access to education and an equal child tax credits as anyone else in the states - or higher for all residents to meet their costs.
The answer to colonialism is to start with cooperative socialism. To get there, start with ESOPs and make them more socialistic - electing leaders who first have to bid down CEO pay in an open auction, then have worker owners making decisions (one worker, one vote - but preferred shares to reward longevity) on offering housing to lower wage employees, building housing for tenure employees (and equalizing pay), providing education, finance, having the cooperative make decisions explicitly that they now don't make collectively - so workers control the means of production, consumption, finance, retirement and human services and expand to offer their supply chains internationally the same deal - so that everyone gets the same standard of living (adjusted to the economy but buying the same things) as their American counterparts. In other words, kill capitalism by doing what Marx and Lenin did not do - ask the questions employees need to face to make decisions rather than throwing them in the deep end and watching them drown - which is what happened in Russia and led to incomplete socialism in the Nordic countries.
Back to Hawaii - work toward equal economics for those who were colonized. Provide the education - paying them to take it - no debt.
Require that Scientists learn the local religion and help practice it on the Mountain. Build spiritual centers on top of the world and accept a shorter work day if those activities last into the night. SHARE THE LOVE OF ASTRONOMY WITH THEM! They will appreciate it! Make them part of your universe by joining their spirituality!.
My family converted at every point, starting from being Egyptians during the Bronze Age to being Hebrews (both kingdoms - one going to Assyria and then India, then Saxony and the other going to Babylon and coming back Jewish then being taken in slavery to Rome, etc.
Those who were not taken to Rome eventually were converted to Christianity, then to Islam. The North African Phoenicians founded Carthage and their Semitic religion informed Greece and Rome. El became Baal, became Cronos became Saturn and YHWH became Zeus. Those who think Rome created Christianity had it backwards. Canaanite religion created Greco Roman religion. BTW, Dr. Fatima and one of my exes, who is Sephardic, could pass for Stacey when younger. Evolution has not had time to catch up.
Those who escaped slavery (and the Samaritans did so by being converted by the Apostle Philip) were all Christianized by Rome - including the North Africans who were conquered by Rome earlier. Then the Arabs conquered the Middle East and North Africa and the majority became Muslim, although not all..
Just like a Ashkenazi who eventually became Lutheran and Catholic and are now fairly secular Catholics. Ordain Women!
Palestinians can get their land and their equality, freak out the Zionists and give Bibi fits - and win - by returning to our roots as I am. Learn Hebrew, chant the blessing, go to synagogue, keep the Sabbath as you already did in Palestine in the days of old.
If you cannot beat them - and my family history shows that beating them is impossible - join them.
Doing so will confirm that Bibi wants ethnic cleansing - but this will stop him from getting what he wants. Not accepting mass conversion would look bad, even for Zionists.
24 hours ago, I was watching Dr. Fatima's video on colonialism and astronomy. You can watch it at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7hK5_Rj--8
The next three videos are my contribution.
I am a secular Ashkenazi Catholic. I have not left the Church nor do I deny myself the sacraments just because they tel me not to because I call for the ordination of women and the acceptance of queer theory for priests - both gay and asexual. My people in Iowa are blind to their heritage as Roma on my grandfather's side and Jewish on my grandmother's side. Her name was Fuchs, her mother's name was Lieb. Her mother's name was Daisenberg. The ner in bindner is like the berg. A sure sign of Canaanite heritage. The Sinti and Ashkenazi came by way of India and Rome and intermarried - which is why we are light skinned and blue eyed. It was not until Luther that we became Christian. After the 100 years war, we became Catholic and sometime after 1692, my progenitor left Aach (which had a large Ghetto, so maybe we were from there) and became Catholic Luxembergers.
Prior to going to Rome, we were in Roman Palestine and were Jews. We became Jews in Babylon. YouTube Theological and Anthropological University shows how Judaism evolved from the Canaanite religion and the local kingdoms. The time of the Judges, in my estimation, was the time of the Bronze Age collapse, when Egypt left the homeland - rather than the northern tribes escaping Egypt. Note the ongoing theme. It is continued in part 2 of this series.
As genealogy has shown me the truth, I have embraced my lost Judaism, meaning I identify Shekinah, the female manifestation of the one G_d with the Spirit and have learned the blessing Baruch atah Adonai Elinehu....
Bankrate's list is a bit skewed and the results show it. Their rankings were based on:
Affordability (40%): Analyzes factors such as local and state sales taxes, cost of living and average annual property taxes
Overall wellbeing (25%): Includes factors such as the number of adults over 62 per 100,000 residents and access to food and health care
Quality and cost of health care (20%): Looks at factors such as the cost of health care at the state level and the performance of each state's health system
Weather (10%): Evaluates data on factors such as a state's average annual temperature and average number of tornado strikes, earthquakes and hurricane landfalls
Crime (5%): Examines factors such as the amount of property crimes and violent crimes per 100,000 residents
I did not have visibility into their factor data, so I cannot adjust their rankings for each factor, but I can adjust the weights. My weights seem to be born out by where people actually live. My weights are:
Affordability 30%
Overall well-being 15%
Quality and cost of healthcare 20%
Weather 20%
Crime 15%
This is how the results compare (click on the table for a more readable image):
When you look at the numbers, you may catch the implicit bias in Bankrate's rankings. Just ask yourself, if you were not an upper middle class white person, how would you feel about ranking South Carolina as #4 and Missouri as #5 - or Delaware as #1?!!! More importantly, Bankrate, given their business model, does not factor in such things as affordable housing programs. Maryland does this very well, but their affordability rankings do not seem to take such things into account. At least we agree on Georgia, however.
Kamala Harris is now getting support from Haley voters, sometimes in an organized fashion.
Others may just leave that position blank. I suggest that instead, they vote Libertarian, both for President and Congress. Whatever they do, let us hope that all Republicans punish members who voted to stop the steal on January 7, 2021.
As far as we know, there will be no indictments of membres who met with Trump a week before. Did they coordinate with the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers, or merely organize the votes and try to get Clark appointed as acting-Attorney General. The Ethics Committee needs to look at that issue and consider whether such members who met with the President should be designated as Insurrectionists for the purpose of the 14th Amendment.
Traditional practice is to wait for prosecution and conviction to expel a member who behaves unethically. The House should not wait and if they designate a member as an insurrectionist, the burden should be on the member to get the permission of both houses.
Regardless, they do not deserve reelection.
What will happen if people vote Libertarian instead? They could caucus with the Republicans as if nothing happened. They, and Republicans who are not traitors, could vote together and deny admission to the Freedom Caucus or could encourage the Democrats to split into Social Democrats and (Neo)Liberal Democrats and divide their votes accordingly.
If it is business as usual, especially if the GOP still has a substantial minority or majority, nothing will get done.
People need to vote like they want real government instead. It is up to voters, not members, to make this happen.
