@kurt13warner @smokenasty47 Haha, I think he meant bad luck 😀.

@smokenasty47 Huh??

More to my point about PRODUCTION vs POTENTIAL: I sat on BENCH at a SMALL school for 4 yrs —> played 1 yr and was Player of Year in Conf Got cut by GB after getting 0 snaps in game —> worked in a grocery store —> signed in Arena Football League Played 3 yrs in AFL, top QB in league & played in Arena Bowl 2x… Went to NFLEurope was top QB statically that season… Signed with Rams & sat bench all year in 98… When slated to be starter after Trent got hurt the whole world said the Rams are finished, no way this small school, stock boy, arena football, backup QB can play… bc they failed to see the production EVERY time I played! They were looking at all the wrong things, when I had played, I played well and that carried over to NFL as you would expect… follow the production 1st!

@kurt13warner Well said, Kurt. Thanks for the great reminder!

@megbasham @MikeCosper @DavidAFrench Itchy ears.

First @MikeCosper and CT ignored Talarico’s heresies and lauded him as a refreshing Christian voice on the political scene. Then @DavidAFrench hailed his Christian decency. Now we have the Holy Post suggesting we can’t say it’s heretical to say Jesus supports gay sex and abortion. Y’all see what’s happening here?

@ANIOBINNA @theamerican2006 @Variety They would have to sign off on their likeness being used which would presumably require contract negotiations where they would make their payment demands.

@theamerican2006 @Variety They may not be paid the same amount if AI will do bulk of the job. In this case, they may not be unemployed but underemployed.

FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave." Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.” “He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1PI

@LandCruiser_73 @Alexoo4 @SarahHuckabee Bingo! Irony is totally lost on these people. Don't waste your time.

@Alexoo4 @SarahHuckabee So the ones who kick ppl out are "hateful". This restaurant is doomed now. They'll get a temporary bump from the lefty's but a conservative will never go again. Stupid to run off anyone supporting your business

Last week I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the State Police Executive Protection Detail and said my presence made their employees feel threatened and told us to leave. Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant didn’t meet that standard, my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansans up, not tearing others down.

@adamcarolla Classic response of the guilty. Attack the one exposing the fraud and wrongdoing.

This is exactly how a corrupt governor responds when someone starts exposing fraud.

@clayandbuck @ClayTravis @RandPaul @BuckSexton So having Sean O'Brien sitting directly behind Sen Mullins at the hearing isn't a good enough example of reconciliation for Rand? I guess he wants a heartfelt apology and then he will vote no!

.@RandPaul confirms to @ClayTravis and @BuckSexton he's a no vote on Markwayne Mullin to lead ICE and CBP: "I'm concerned about anger issues. I think they need a better role model."

@WesternLensman Isn't having the labor union chief, Sean O'Brien sitting right behind Sen. Mullin a strong indication of contrition on the part of the Senator? 🤔

After spending his time in the hearing airing a personal beef, Rand Paul says he’s a “no” on Mullin to head DHS: "I think there are anger issues."

@mistressyuna @forjam64 @BillMelugin_ @FoxNews @grok As a Democrat? 😀

@forjam64 @BillMelugin_ @FoxNews @grok Ambition to run for President in 2028.

NEW: Per source familiar, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blocked Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) from introducing Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) at his confirmation hearing this morning. Britt & Mullin are good friends and Britt is the Chair of DHS appropriations in the Senate. She was planning to introduce him, but @FoxNews is told Paul, the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, wouldn't allow it.

@NePlus4aiv @greg_price11 @RonColeman Twain borrowed that from Proverbs 26:4. A good lesson for us all indeed.

@greg_price11 @RonColeman

Raskin: "Thomas Paine was an undocumented immigrant." Jordan: "How was he an illegal immigrant? He was born in the UK and came to America, then a British colony." Raskin: "I didn't say he was an illegal immigrant. He was an undocumented immigrant."

@Protestia The millstone will be heavy.

Episcopal pastor says Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well were FLIRTING, because Jesus' use of the term 'Living Water' is actually a double entendre and a 'first century euphemism for 'SEMEN.'

@SullyCNBC Shouldn't they fear losing their lives? Dead men have no power nor the ability to enjoy their money. 🤔

National Leadership is decimated. Intelligence sources tell me they are worried about control over these IRCG bosses who fear losing their power and money.

@HiThere144 @Mericamemed Now I'm really hungry 😀

@Mericamemed Just take a brioche burger bun, garlic butter toast it, and the layers go: 1. bacon and onion 2. burger seasoned with garlic, paprika, salt, pepper 3. shredded cheddar cheese with mayo binder, melted. Same thing, but better.

How high do you have to be to come up with this?

@zero2give @TrumpGirlLove @HEB Haha, it's a PetSmart!

@TrumpGirlLove I love working dogs (police/military) everywhere, but I hate pet dogs in stores. If it's a pet, leave it at home. Seen a full-size Husky in a shopping cart in Austin, TX. The @HEB employees are too scared to confront willful customers. My complaints were ignored.

Rex served 8½ years in the military, but in retirement, deafness meant he couldn't hear 'out' anymore. At PetSmart, he grabbed a new toy and wouldn't release it for the scan,pure K9 determination! After a bit, he let go, the cashier scanned it, and they popped it right back in his mouth. This is just adorable! 🐕❤️ 🤗🥰🐾🐾🐾

@EricLDaugh "Equity reasons." 🤔

🚨 JUST IN: NYC voters are PANICKING after learning Ugandan Mayor Mamdani scammed them again — he wants to raise the estate tax to 50% at $750,000, NOT $7 million Some DEMOCRATS are now sounding the alarm this is bad for “everybody” COMMUNIST SCAMMER!

Apologies if I misread what you wrote. Based on I how I read what you wrote initially, it looked like you said that the outcome rested with a decision by man that was out of God's control, i.e. man's free will determined his salvation, not God (which is what I meant by saying "whatever man decides). If by what you followed up with in more detail you are saying that God indeed determines the outcome, not that He knows the outcome with His ability to transcend time and space to see the decision men make at some point down the corridor of time, I completely agree with what you have articulated.

It truly puzzles me how anyone could arrive at such an absurd conclusion. It's not what I wrote nor what I believe. God’s will is not 'whatever man decides.' His will to save and to judge logically precedes the human choice. In His sovereignty, He has decreed that He will treat people differently based on their response - a response that He enables in the first place. He controls the outcome on both sides, and what happens is always exactly what He intended from the beginning. This in no way makes Him dependent on man. He obviously possesses the power to deal with us as He pleases. Scripture reveals that it is His counsel to take into account the human response to His calling in the Gospel and to effectuate His will accordingly and unstoppably. To conclude from this that man could somehow supersede or thwart God’s will is an absolute non-sequitur. Please demonstrate how a choice that God specifically wills you to make could possibly supersede His will.

You can’t consistently say “God never fails” and then turn around and make salvation ultimately hinge on the will of man. If the decisive factor is human choice, then God’s purpose in saving can be resisted, overturned, or left waiting on man. That doesn’t sound like the God who works all things according to the counsel of His will, it sounds like a God who hopes. If He intends to save but can be thwarted by man’s decision, then His will is subjected to man’s will, but if salvation flows from His eternal purpose, then no one He sets His love on is lost and no part of redemption hangs by the fragile thread of human ability. A God who truly never fails is a God whose saving purpose actually accomplishes what He intends

@dayjeff @JCRyle Well Judas wasn't a believer so there's that. Parable of the Soils is the more appropriate one to describe Judas.

@JCRyle Matthew 7:21-23 seems to be the most misused and most taken out of context scripture in all of the Bible. The context is false prophets. It is not talking about believers at all.

@ManassehRJones Amen, brother!

Suffering, a guaranteed experience of every son of God. Excluding...none. We live in world which thinks their free will worship of Christ from their Ivory Towers, their Priests wearing Carnival Clown garb, waving of incense, and all the nonsensical rituals of mystical robotic liturgies...is worship. It's a joke! The True Israel of God, the True ecclesia, where the elect sons of God whom the Spirit of Christ dwells in the Temple of their body, who know the Lord Jesus Christ intimately, where we gather together, it is to comfort one another in our suffering. A stark contrast to the faux Christianity witnessed today. It's personal suffering, shared in the Body of Christ, by those God has called out of the world, who cannot step foot in these faux Christian Churches. How many Churches preach.... 2 Corinthians 4:10 KJV Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

@paulcqmusic @megbasham @MikeCosper So Megan is not allowed to ask questions?

@megbasham @MikeCosper You keep defending Trump so maybe sit this one out.

Mark Driscoll, you coward, you refuse interviews from me, block me, and now selectively edit me (I know you didn't do the edit, some poor, terrified intern did it) — point to anything I've ever written or spoken that endorses progressive politics of progressive theology. You won't. Because you can't. Now when you get the courage for it, let's have that 1:1 conversation — on the record. I'll live stream it. Let's go tough guy.

@Son_ImSleep Well, I did run against Willie Gault in the 110 meter hurdles at the Dogwood Relays in 1983. Haha, he beat me 😀.

If anybody who played a D-1 sport follows me. Did you ever play against someone that was so good it made you realize you weren’t making the pro’s
