The Wolf Of Broad Street

Anytime the government is shutdown (even partially), members of Congress should not get paid. Why should elected officials have the ability to take away the paycheck of their constituents while keeping their own paychecks intact?

Dear Americans, Iran is not your enemy Israel is.

Statue of that famous rescue act

First look at Dwayne Johnson as Maui in the live-action ‘MOANA’ remake.

A married couple revealed their government checks. “$142,000 a year.” From disability. $4,700 a month for her. $7,200 a month for him. What does it say about the system when they’re making more doing nothing than the taxpayers working to fund it.

BREAKING: Trump extends his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by five days.

IRANIAN MEDIA SAYS THERE WAS NO DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTACT WITH TRUMP AND CLAIMS HE WITHDREW AFTER THREATENING TO ATTACK WEST ASIA ENERGY FACILITIES: RTRS

🇮🇷 The "told you so" crowd has it backwards... Every hawk on the internet is pointing at Iran's missile range and multi-country retaliation as vindication. "See? We had to hit them. Look how dangerous they are." That reasoning collapses under its own weight. Iran didn't launch anything until it was attacked. Responding to being bombed is not the same as posing an imminent threat. If self-defense proves you deserved to be attacked, then every country with a military is fair game for preemptive war. Capability without intent is not a threat. Brazil has a military. So does Indonesia. Nobody is suggesting they need to be neutralized. The moment you start treating the mere existence of weapons as justification for striking first, you've created a world where every nation on earth is either attacking or waiting to be attacked...

Simulation theory is like "finding god" for the atheists. The problem and the reason why so many people cringe at the idea of "god" is because popular religion and mass organized religion deconstructed the idea of "God" into a literal cartoon bearded man in the sky that looks like humans and has the same psychology... and treat bible verses as concrete atomized concepts that has no relation to the chapter or to the whole. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps one of the most intelligent men to live, said it best in Summa Theologica. God is the pure spirit with zero body, zero parts, zero location, zero time... almost like a hologram that exists in all space and time at once and nothing at the same time. The essence of existence itself God isn't something human beings can comprehend, just like an amoeba can't comprehend quantum physics. We can't even ask the right questions of reality, and maybe the best we can come up with is "simulation theory"... but even that has a problem of infinite regression of the simulators themselves being simulated themselves and so on. Simpler people think that humans "look like God," but Genesis doesn't say we look like God. It says we were made in HIS image, after HIS likeness. God is the rational soul... specifically ties into our intellect: the power to know, reason, the logos... and will, the power to love and choose freely between good and evil. That's the "image", not something stupid like a mirror selfie, but a real, participatory likeness that's beyond a simple picture. In Christian theology, specifically, this is the idea that god made sub-creators as humans who can ponder creation itself and, in doing so, we humans dimly reflect the ONE who just is existence. This is why Christianity, in its sophisticated form, invites us, humans, towards discovering god's design... and this was precisely why the scientific revolution was born out of the Christian tradition and nowhere else. This is why almost all of the scientists who were godfathers of modern science... Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Boyle, Maxwell... were Christian... and even people like Fermi and Einstein were deeply spiritual in the same tradition, even if they weren't specifically "Christian" . Here, the implication is that the language of mathematics itself is a small fraction of god's design. This is why high-IQ people arrive at the same conclusion as the low-IQ people of the uncaused cause. High IQ people see the beauty in the logos, in reason, the rational order, and in math, and see a fractional glimpse of god's design. Low IQ people accept god as the default of existence because they intuit it without reason. It's the midwits who claim atheism because they can't fathom religious thought to be anything sophisticated... classic Dunning-Kruger effect applied to metaphysics

Collectively as men, we gotta stop hanging around dead beat dads.

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway???

This man could easily be the next voiceover King, like Morgan Freeman, for a new generation “The concept of glory is wasted on the inglorious” 😂🤯
