    54 diplomats in Tehran in 1979 and 241 U.S. military personnel in Beirut in 1983 might have a different view on the topic.

    Trump targets Iran's Supreme Leader in first wave of joint attack with Israel as Tehran strikes back at US bases across region and at Tel Aviv

    That's right, folks... Iran will never ever use its nuclear weapons against the nation it has called the "Great Satan" for nearly 50 years. Because Nick Fuenteth thays tho.

    Secret Service kills Man at Trump’s Residence

    No, but EOs are supposed to be directives to the Executive Branch from its chief executive, setting internal policy or organization, and so forth; or exercising his constitutionally granted powers, such as, say, directing emergency responses or diplomatic affairs. Trump's use of executive...

    Eigtheen Years

    Only 18 years, huh? ;) I showed up in the summer of 1998, when I was researching KJV-onlyism and wanted to know who this Jack Hyles person was. The forum was still called the Jack Hyles Forum at the time and resided at jackhyles dot net. 28 years; has it been that long? *sob* That means...

    Chrysler and Daimler-Benz didn't merge until the late 1990s. On the other hand, Daisy's signature vehicle for most of the show was a Jeep, and Chrysler didn't buy out AMC until after the Dukes went off the air.

    What books, if any are you reading, or have you read in the past year

    I'll get there in a few months or a year. I've got about a year's worth of books listed that I want to read, and it includes selections not only from Faulkner, but Hemingway and Steinbeck as well as more commercial stuff like Tom Clancy and Patrick O'Brian. And when I read through an author's...

    Things once considered Sin and may still be.

    Maybe Doug Phillips and Bill Gothard should have paid more attention to the things the Bible calls sin, particularly the sexual kind, before exercising their creativity to invent more. I become half-convinced that there's a form of legalism that keeps its focus on trivial "sins" specifically to...

    That's the part I meant, yeah. I don't think you can attribute that shadow to lighting. He's unshaven.

    Soldiers' Pay was meh. His first novel, not one of his best. No As I Lay Dying, anyway.
