From the POV of Protestants: Catholics = christian pretenders that worship a man (pope), pray to men (saints) and revere objects (Mary statues, rosaries, etc) Real christians would only pray to God/Jesus/Holy Spirit, never hold up men in veneration and only revere The Word
j a r e d@beatsenplace

@TokenOfTheMonth Catholics aren’t Christians?

@avidseries Clear cut and grading is essential if you want flat, straight roads. Side walks, stable foundations in your development. The best look is one of intentionality, which requires trees of the same size, species, uniformly spaced and time to grow.

"A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent." How much money do builders save on costs by removing all the trees from a lot prior to construction? "Roughly $5,000 per lot." Vast swaths of residential America are bleak because of the selfishness, shortsightedness and greed of builders and developers. Personally, I can't live in a house in which there are no visual points of interest outside it that can be enjoyed through its windows. Views of trees, hills and mountains, maybe a skyline or compelling urban panorama — any of these will greatly increase the enjoyment of a home and improve the mental health of its occupants.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

@aakashgupta The owner could also plant a tree when they buy the house though. Why would it be the developers responsibility to plant trees? Some people don’t want trees. Clearly b/c they never bought them.

I am trying to keep a level head about this, but there really is no way to read these events, even as charitably as possible, other than very misaligned objectives between Trump and the Israelis, where he wants to limit the damage done to the oil and gas infrastructure of Iran to prevent reprisals against the Gulf States and have leverage; whereas the Israelis have every incentive to escalate further. Just as in the initial attack, there is one country that has ultimate decision-making power and it is not the United States. Even if I were supportive of this conflict, it would give me pause that they can escalate and there is apparently nothing we can do about it.
Annmarie Hordern@annmarie

WSJ: Arab governments were furious about Israel’s attack and the U.S. failure to head it off, officials said. They had aggressively lobbied the Trump administration to stop U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and now feel a target has been put on their backs, they said… America’s Arab allies are now fuming that they don’t seem to have any influence with the Trump administration despite heavy investments of time and money.

This reminds of the Israeli air strike on Doha last year. The Israelis said Trump approved it, but after it happened, Trump claimed he didn't and said he was very upset that it happened. Who do you believe?
Barak Ravid@BarakRavid

Contrary to Trump’s statements, senior Israeli and U.S. officials said that the United States had prior knowledge of the Israeli strike and even approved it in an attempt to pressure Iran. After the Iranians retaliated against Qatar’s gas fields, Trump is now changing course

When someone gives you 16 opaque justifications for doing something instead of one transparent one, they know they have a weak case.
Karoline Leavitt@PressSec

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

The right wing has not yet learned how to be anti-occupation. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. The right wing is not going to be the Zionist golem that it was in the last century. We are going to be at the center of that. It's a huge transformation for right wing to make. It is now going into a anti-occupation mode, and we will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, the right wing will not survive.

Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi claims Israel may be behind attacks on civilian sites in Arab countries to damage relations with Tehran, in an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. In a separate quote by Fars News, he alleges the U.S. created a drone similar to Iran’s and is using it to strike targets in Arab states.

NEWS: The man who rammed his explosives-laden truck into a Michigan synagogue today was named Ayman Ghazaleh, according to a source familiar with the situation. Ghazaleh posted photos overnight of his family members, including young children, who were killed in a recent Israeli attack on the town of Mashghara, Lebanon. This is a developing story.
