Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
Trump is not the leader of the free world. Neither is he viewed by world leaders as weak. I haven't seen stats on how world leaders view Biden's weakness Grace, especially vs Trump's - perhaps you could share them. I did see a recent Pew Report that says that 53% of the international community have...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
Both Biden and Trump will be lame ducks if they win this November. Neither one will be running again in 2028 because whoever wins will be in their 2nd term. I'm sure this is true for Biden - but, based on what I've seen, I'm not convinced that Trump will ever willingly leave office. There have been...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
Some are able to remain spry and sharp to their end. Some i’ve had the honor of knowing. Some start losing their faculties young. i had the pain of experiencing. Science is working on it. No quick+final answers to it, not yet. No matter how wanted. I think this is a good point. On the face of it, b...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
It should be noted. Chaos might be a concern. But the main rationale for the ruling is not the consequences but derived powers. Federal offices are not subject to the whim of state officials. Only Congress can determine qualifications. In some ways, the most important thing is that the supreme Cour...

Re: Gaza's Irrational Hatred
Back to my OP - the irrationality here (beyond garden-variety hatred - if there is such a thing) has to do with what appears to be a supercharged enmity between Palestinians and Israelis right now - a hatred that is doubtless the result of 75+ years of offense heaped upon offense between these two g...

Re: Gaza's Irrational Hatred
Why doesn’t Egypt open its gate and allow aid in and civilians out? I have wondered that many times. That is the most obvious immediate solution - and could be supported and funded by a consortium of Arab and Western countries. However, my guess is that Egype can't see how to stably absorb an influ...

Re: Have you had a COVID-19 vaccination?
I'm generally appreciative of the benefits of modern medicine - vaccines included.

Gaza's Irrational Hatred
At every level of human interaction, when people hate enough they become irrational. The hatred between most (not all) Israelis and Palestinians has been festering for generations and it is now spilling forth before the eyes of a disbelieving world in an unteathered violent frenzy. This is something...

Re: Nonviolence?
Maybe the counter questions are also helpful: 1) How do we follow Christ's instruction to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, yet at the same time do violence to them? 2) How do we obediently "turn the other cheek" and refrain from repaying evil for evil, yet harm or kill...
