🚨 JUST NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio drops a massive warning to the WHOLE WORLD
"You better have more than strongly worded STATEMENTS!"
"Are you gonna normalize a country claiming to control an international water? Then that precedent will be repeated a DOZEN OTHER PLACES."
"Iran now claims that they own, that they have a right to control an international waterway. They claim that they have a right to control it."
"What is the world going to do about that? Is the world going to accept that Iran now controls an international waterway? Because if the world is prepared to accept that, then be ready!"
"Because there's like 10 other countries that are going to start doing the same thing in their international waterways or in international waterways near their countries."

Let’s have some fun !!
Springboks fans, if Rassie Erasmus decided to step away tomorrow, who’s your first call to take over the Springboks ?
*You can pick any current coach in the world, doesn’t matter who they’re coaching right now. 👀

@FrontRowGrunt McCloskey sensational but JGP edged MOTM. Shades of Fourie DuPreez rugby brain.

@divinethree333 @drdylangriswold I have absolute faith in Batman and Superman.

You’re right….true faith doesnt need scientific proof. Growing in relationship with God thru a surrender life of faith, love, abandonment to His providence and witnessing His hand in our lives is the deepest proof of all. Thats the heart of it.
No one here is saying science is required for belief. What draws me to the Shroud is how its details (the precise wounds matching the Gospels, the inexplicable image formation that baffles experts) can serve as an extraordinary signpost further evidence of the Resurrection for those open to it. Its simply a fascinating relic…nothing more.
Its like God leaving a tangible echo of the greatest miracle inviting even more people to surrender their lives to Jesus, the very source and meaning of eternal life (John 17:3).
Faith comes first but sometimes these signs help awaken or strengthen it. Either way….the call is the same: come follow Him fully, be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit and make disciples. Blessings to you.

The Shroud of Turin is the single most fascinating and perplexing artifact ever discovered baffling scientists, historians and believers for centuries.
Scientific analysis confirms the body image was not formed by paint, dye, ink, pigments or any artistic medium….no brush strokes, no directionality, no binders. The coloration results from a precise chemical alteration of the linen fibers themselves.
The image is extraordinarily superficial, affecting only the topmost microfibrils of the threads… we’re talking about a depth of a few hundred “nanometers”.
To put that in perspective a single human hair is 80,000 nanometers thick….the image on the Shroud is thinner than a soap bubble. The image resides solely on the outermost surface layer with no penetration into the cloth as would occur with liquids or pigments.
This superficiality combined with the images lack of distortion, its photographic negative quality and its embedded 3D information points to a rapid intense burst of energy….most plausibly in the form of vacuum ultraviolet radiation or similar electromagnetic phenomena.
Italian researchers at ENEA have shown that replicating even key aspects of the image requires an immense flash of energy. Estimates range from billions to as high as 34 trillion watts delivered in an incredibly brief pulse…..on the order of 1/40th of a billionth of a second. Any slower or less controlled release would scorch or incinerate the delicate linen instead of delicately discoloring it.
No known natural process or current human technology can fully account for such a precise, non-destructive encoding of a full-body image originating from within the wrapped form.
What kind of event could generate a sudden intense burst of radiant energy from a lifeless body…..without causing heat damage, scorching or any detectable residue…..while imprinting the cloth in this extraordinary way?
The only logical explanation that unites the forensic evidence—wounds precisely matching Roman scourging, crucifixion (wrist and foot nailing) a side spear wound and a crown of thorns….with this otherwise inexplicable image formation process is the Resurrection itself.
At the moment Christ rose a divine burst of light…..the radiant glory of His glorified body (brighter than the sun) imprinted the cloth as He passed thru the linen leaving a photographic negative that has baffled science for over two millennia.
In layman terms, the Shroud of Turin is quite possibly the first selfie ever taken capturing the moment of resurrection in real time. #JesusIsKing #JesusIsLord

@divinethree333 Oh dear. That is a very illogical conclusion.

@Retief_Dan @hershybru @ricsalizzo Undoubtedly the best schoolboy flyhalf I have ever seen. Couldn’t realistically play both cricket and rugby after school but I would wager my house that he would have been a Springbok.
English

Wonderful memories. I was part of it. Herschelle @hershybru coolly dropped a goal from the halfway line with almost the first ball that came his way. Laurie Mains was so astounded by his talent he tried to get him to move to NZ! Best schoolboy flyhalf I saw. @ricsalizzo
Derek Alberts@derekalberts1
Incredible footage of a young Herschelle Gibbs @hershybru training with the All Blacks in 1992.

@ingagefacts Delighted to read that you were born with a brain. What happened to it afterwards?

@DrNeilStone @IanJaeger29 So they can easily treat their parasitic worms. 🤣

Had a good few South Africans ask if my new book is available down there.
These guys have it in stock in SA 👇👇👇👇

Yesterday I did a bit of an experiment to see what got more engagement. Factual posts from a professional aviator or total nonsense to farm engagement. The latter obviously won by a factor of 20x and the outrage by so many and personal insults and attacks were astonishing. Despite the obvious #gotcha most didn’t care and just wanted to be angry. This is what is wrong with social media IMHO. But I’m not here for clicks… just a bit of light hearted fun.
And to those who questioned my professionalism… read the post… it’s obviously done to get the outrage you deftly gave. 🙄

A special variant of the C-130, the helicopter recovery variant. Seen here towing a chinook which is lifting a F-16. Pretty cool stuff. 🙌🏻 #Gotcha
