@patrickfinley So on third and 12?

NFL teams can now attempt an onside kick at any point during the game.

@PON__AOI__ He was passive though, which is the problem with many men. He chose to not do the right thing, which would be to free an innocent man. Adam’s original sin was standing by passively while Eve ate the apple. Thank you Lord for your grace when I am passive.

勉強会での疑問なんですけど ポンテオピラトって、処刑する意思は無くてなんならイエスを解放したかった。 だから手を洗って潔白を示したと習ったんですけど、 じゃあ使徒信条で｢ポンテオピラトの元で苦しみを受け｣って、ポンテオピラト可哀想じゃないですか！？ 実際苦しませたくなかったのに。😗

@Devon_Eriksen_ I like the concept of being prepared for possibilities, not probabilities.

Okay, time to explain guns to our new friends. Every day, when I leave the house, I attach a holstered handgun to my belt, under my shirt or coat. I would no more leave the house without a gun than I would walk around outdoors without shoes. Is it because I "need" a gun? No. I live in rural Tennessee, which is state in the American south. It's very safe here. The dangerous parts of America are big cities where the local government is leftist, and they shelter illegal migrant from the third world, and won't send violent criminals to prison. Places like Chicago and New York City. Yet, any time I leave the house, I put on a gun, knowing that I will probably never have to use it, and if I do, it will probably be on an aggressive stray dog, not a human. So why do I do it? Why do many other people who live around me do it? Why do we do this so much that carrying a gun is considered totally normal? If someone spotted it, it would not even arouse a comment, much less any fear. In fact, it is legal to carry a gun openly here, without covering it up. Covering it up is just considered polite. So.... why? Well, try thinking of an English nobleman, during the reign of Elizabeth the First. When he dressed to go ride to court, he would hang a slender fencing sword, called a rapier or smallsword, from his belt. He didn't expect to be attacked. He didn't even expect to fight a duel. And if he was challenged to a duel, he wouldn't need his sword right then. He would meet his challenger later at an agreed-upon place and time. No, he wore his sword because it was an expression of who he was. He was a gentleman, a person of status, with the legal privilege of carrying a sword. By carrying a sword, he asserted his rights and prerogatives as a nobleman. In Japan, you had the same sort of thing happening. The samurai, members of the bushi class, wore the two swords not because they expected to be attacked at any moment, but because the two swords were an essential part of who he was. So, in these two cases, weapons were carried by noblemen as an assertion of status. They had the right to do so, and they did so in order to assert, exercise, and retain the right. Americans carry guns because every American citizen is a nobleman. When we fought the British for our independence, that war began on April 19th, 1775, when British troops, fearing American rebelliousness, marched out from Boston to confiscate guns from people living in the surrounding countryside. Our ancestors did not submit to this. We shot them instead, and they fled back to Boston with their tails between their legs, to cower under the cover of the guns from the warship HMS Sommerset. Thus began several years of war. And when we won that war, we made a country where no government, and no man, would ever be allowed to disarm the people. No agent of the government may say to us, "I may have a gun, and you may not." Because to say that is to say "I am a nobleman, and you are a peasant. I am a master, and you are a slave." We are not peasants here. We are all noblemen. That is the most basic principle of what it means to be an American. I can be impoverished, so I can to be so poor that I live in a van down by the river. But however reduced my circumstances, as an American, I still have the rights and freedoms of a nobleman, of a daimyo, because that is the basic founding idea of the nation we forged on that day. If you come to America to visit, if you walk among us, you will pass many people carrying guns. You will not notice this. You will not see them. You will witness no violence. Everything will be normal. But the guns will be there. Because that is who we are. We don't carry guns to be violent. We don't wish to be rude, or to intimidate people. We keep our guns covered up. But they are the deepest, most essential part of what it means to be American.

@Hokuto_Ide Praying for you to continue to share the light into the darkness.

@GamewithDave Worms, Half-life, and Command and Conquer

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@MJTruthUltra @WesleyLHuff

I’m sorry.. but Paula White has got to go. She is exactly what gives Christian’s a bad name. If I were a lost soul looking for answers, seeking God, and she is who I discovered, I would run far away very fast. With that said, who SHOULD be President Trump’s WH Spiritual Advisor? rumble.com/v7736ek-pastor…

@WendyRogersAZ @SenToddYoung

Step right up. 1) Mike Lee 2) Tommy Tuberville 3) John Kennedy 4) Rick Scott 5) Marsha Blackburn

The Senate just completed a pro forma session No attempt was made to pass DHS funding by unanimous consent The Senate must convene now

@BearsShowYo @CALEBcsw Stop calling players demons.

He’s only 23? Oh nah bro he’s gonna be a demon.

We must not reward Senate Democrats—who have exploited the Zombie Filibuster™️ to shut down DHS, perpetuate Biden-era deficits, and prevent us from passing the SAVE America Act—with a two-week vacation Who’s with me?

@AdrianneCurry Move the Bears to Indiana!

Chicago is a 3rd world sithole. Chicagoans pretend its safe & gaslight anyone who points out the chaos...instead of demanding regime change and enforcement of law

@reddit_lies Do it!

This is reasonable tbh.

@CalvinGoneEat @bearszn @jjones9 Why didn’t he have a problem with it then? , seems like he rescinded any claim, but now all of the sudden, he wants to claim it’s his.

@PeterADeYoung @bearszn @jjones9 George Gervin was the ice man well before this movie came out

NBA Hall of Famer George Gervin is attempting to stop Bears QB Caleb Williams from trademarking “Iceman”, per @jjones9 “I’ve got nothing but respect for [Williams]. He’s already proved greatness and his potential upside is great. Like an ‘Iceman.’ But that name is taken….All I’m saying is: young fella, we’ve already got one ‘Iceman.’” - via @Suntimes

Please share if you agree that the Senate should not recess until it has (1) fully funded DHS, and (2) passed the SAVE America Act

@gofishh77 They need to get Keanu Reeves on the way

Note to self: when you see a bus that is flashing a sign call 911, call police it is a warning sign tripped inside by the driver. So do it!

@LeaderJohnThune No recess! Senator Todd Young already knows my thoughts in replacing you if this doesn’t get through.

Every senator will soon be on the record with an up-or-down vote so the American people can know exactly where they stand on voter ID. I don’t know how Democrats will be able to explain being against commonsense voter ID requirements, but I can’t wait to hear them try.

🚨 BREAKING: Senator Daines just said that the Senate has decided to DEFY Trump’s request to skip Easter recess to ensure the SAVE America Act gets to his desk: “This is going to continue after we get back after the Easter break. WHY ARE WE TAKING F*CKING BREAKS? @LeaderJohnThune If the GOP doesn’t buckle down and get this on Trump’s desk, America is GONE. These people need to remember that a VAST MAJORITY of Americans who wholeheartedly support COMMON SENSE measures like this. Either get it passed, or Democrats will destroy ANY semblance of America as we knew it the moment they steal back power. It’s time for them to GROW A SPINE!

@kraigbowers34 Why is there no discussion of Indiana? Purdue will certainly stake a claim to this fight.

To be fair, the battle of best yields of corn per acre is only a battle between Iowa and Illinois. Nebraska is pretty comfortably in 3rd and with higher inputs than some states below them due to irrigation needs.

@paul_jkrause Man in the High Castle was so good. Another Phillip K Dick.

What is the best sci-fi novel you've read? There are many good ones. Great ones. Not just because he recently passed away, but Hyperion by Dan Simmons has to be up there for everyone who has read it...
