    Foolish NATO generals want war, not peace

    So being a thug pays off for Putin? You REALLY don't understand the people of that region or know the history. Ukraine territory is actually more to the East of the Black Sea....roughly surrounding it. Deep into what has been recently considered (past 80 years) in Russia. When people...

    Population Decline and Low Birth Rates

    No....that was only true during George W's presidency....it was not been true before and hasn't been true for 16 years. It was only a $600 per child tax credit. Then it went back to a standard deduction for a dependent. (Pathetically small) Even then if the teenager got a job...you lost that...

    Population Decline and Low Birth Rates

    No one should be pressured... Not even suggesting that. Just rewarded...and it's not for the state it's for creating personal families. People aren't breeding stock. But if the government would do a 180⁰ turn of persecuting people for creating families it would be a nice change of pace.

    Do You Believe Unrepentant Sinners in Hell Can be Saved?

    What Universalism teaches (sinners in hell get to repent and access heaven) is a form of gnosticism. It's flat out gnostic teachings. No different from the teaching of how sinners do not have to give up their sin (for some sort of convoluted reasoning) to be counted among the "Christian...

    Foolish NATO generals want war, not peace

    Cash has come From European countries in leu of actual military equipment they didn't have. So they could purchase equipment and pay mercenaries. Ukraine has been extremely transparent with their finances. See? Truth is nuanced....lies don't have any nuances.

    Foolish NATO generals want war, not peace

    Nope....you have been engaging in sophistry. NATO is a DEFENSIVE alliance...no offensive forces exist inside of NATO. There are no offensive weapons or troops. Everything is defensive. (Unlike what the propaganda would like you to believe) All of NATO and Russia, with the US leading the...

    Correct.... So we need to adjust our tax structures and Social security programs. Stop taxing people and corporations into poverty. Restart our manufacturing economy. Increase our energy reserves. The biggest problem is the political infighting and polarization. Currently with the...

    Foolish NATO generals want war, not peace

    Nope... Again with more propaganda!!! It's not billions of dollars as in cash. It's billions of dollars worth of used equipment. Equipment that is being retired and is usually sold to other nations. Or the equipment is gutted, refurbished, and refitted with new hardware. Bradley's are a...

    Population Decline and Low Birth Rates

    When immigrants outnumber the children being born in a nation....the nation will collapse...no longer be the same. The immigrants will be the ones setting the agenda and governance. And when they come from a country that is war torn, impoverished, little economic viability....but want to...

    Population Decline and Low Birth Rates

    People who have lived here for a generation. It can be whatever original race as the USA is a melting pot of people....but they have already lived here and have assimilated to the American lifestyle. They speak, read, write, and function in American English moreso than in another language of...

    Population Decline and Low Birth Rates

    If a Christian couple is hesitant to get married because it's too expensive...they are not going to necessarily have children. Just the way things are. If I thought that I was going to lose half or all of my income to marriage penalty taxes/loss of benefits....I would not be getting married...

    Population Decline and Low Birth Rates

    Because of several things that you are NOT addressing. Legacy descended people tend to understand how to function in a society in ways that are not obvious and how the environment of working and living should be. Something that immigrants do not understand. Immigrants tend to behave in...

    Announcement: Tucker Carlson Interview with Putin THURSDAY....

    Tucker Carlson is an activist...he has an agenda. He is not impartial or unbiased as a reporter. Basically a propagandist masquerading as journalist. Let's look at an interview he did with MacGregor... The results of this interview paled in comparison with what happened with Putin.
