Will you allow that an interest in history is permissible? Politics is current history, that’s all, or history in the making. 
All human governments will drop the ball & usually it is a bowling ball. As people ponder the vulnerability of their right and left toes, thus defines their politics.
What is important for the Christian is to avoid taking sides. It is not necessary to be ignorant of it.

Everyone here is wrong. It was a letter from a small child at our Kingdom Hall that did the trick:

It’s possible.
Why doesn’t JWI stay in his ivory egghead tower? He has caused the unthinkable to happen...that my nemesis should become a bastion of truth.

Is there anything to the rumor that Phillip Morris is the brother of Anthony Morris?
I find that “coincidence” VEERRRRYYYY suspicious

Look, I am in no mood for this. I just drove seven times around the mall of Jericho. Furious, I let loose with a mighty horn blast. I still hadn’t found a parking spot.

Evidence is accumulating that much havoc in children’s development is wrought by chemical contamination. I suspect it is a great factor with gender-bending, as well, and maybe also with homosexuality taking the world by storm.

It is a witticism I have not heard and long ago I might have run with it. These days I hold back. If one succumbs to be “born that way” mantra...and given its new universality...how could one not?...it’s a jab that seems unfair.
For ones of such leanings in the Christian congregation, they must be prepared to swim, not into the shore, nor away from it, but parallel to it, likely for a long long time in hopes that their orientation will readjust. It is a test of faith...denying the very real testimony of their own bodies...that few are called upon to face.

Romans 1:26-27 is not considered prophetic, but to me it is the most prophetic verse of all. Nobody but nobody of my time would have ever foreseen it. A small minority, yes, that has always been...but to go mainstream? Never. 

Several members of the UN are dyslexic, so it is not off-topic to publicize the new 2019 UN Dyslexic Fight Slogan:
”Dyslexics of the world: UNTIE!!!”

Okay, I shouldn’t get into this. I really shouldn’t. I really really shouldn’t. But..   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-posts-video-of-himself-singing-green-acres-theme-song-ahead-of-farm-bill-signing   I’m sorry, but I like it. If only this fellow was not so bashful...   Probably I over-analyzed this, but...   1) Hootersville is to NYC as Washington is to Manhattan. (It works if you are ridiculing ‘the swamp’)   2) Melania, like Lisa, did not want to leave her home.   3) As much as politicians like to carry on about the dignity they think they are owed, the people governed rarely think that the job done is so laudable that they should not take their dose of ridicule instead. And there are few things I relish more than puncturing the assumed dignity of pompous ones.   Whether this is a good idea or not, I’ve not the foggiest clue. But the sense of unabashed humor displayed absolutely cracks me up. It is the kind of thing that I might do if I was but bright enough to think of it.   Incidentally, it took a very long time for me to realize that the occasion was his signing a farm bill, because no comments I read on Twitter made any mention of that. They all advanced, in the strongest possible terms, their authors contempt for what an embarrassment he was. None of them recognized the context. They all took it for pure unexpected idiocy coming straight out of left field, with no connection to anything.   And I’m sure it doesn’t hurt to add that I absolutely loved the Green Acres show— probably THAT is what prompts my writing—for the coordinated lunacy on display, all directed at Oliver, as though it was he that was crazy & not the other way around. I mean, whenever some absolutely loopy thing happened, only he was flummoxed. To everyone else it was the most natural thing in the world.

However, he doesn’t stop there. The concierge then offers to put Cohen’s “Gio” in touch with a lawyer who can help to “silence the boy.”
The last thing Baron Cohen asks for is help securing a date for the night:
The segment bothered Cohen and his production team so much that they turned the footage over to the FBI. However, according to Cohen, the FBI wasn’t interested in pursuing the tip.
WOW!!!

Let’s please the Librarian, the old bat, by starting a new thread for a new topic, which may not go anywhere, especially since it is just a request for comment from people who may not be interested enough to give one.
But it strikes me as something that @Space Merchant would be competent to speak to, maybe also @Arauna since they both have commented on the sordid machinations in high places:

To the irreligious, there is no appreciable difference between religions. It is rather like someone saying all orientals or all blacks look alike.

Leave me your address. I’ll look you up.
