@Handre The other “trick” is the spending gets attached to the fiscal-year budget started under the outgoing administration. That way you can blame the ‘other guys’ for the added deficit and debt and take credit for not spending as much in your first budget.
@AaronBMacLean@GeoffWawro@schoolofwarpod Only one Republican participated in the filibuster, while another five joined in opposing the bill on final vote. Given the tone of this book I trust this easily checked error is the exception rather than the rule. Thank you.
@AaronBMacLean@GeoffWawro@schoolofwarpod The Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed the Senate on a 73-to-27 vote. The Democratic supermajority in the Senate split their vote 46 (69%) for and 21 (31%) against. The Republicans, on the other hand, split their vote 27 for (82%) and 6 against (18%).
@AaronBMacLean@GeoffWawro@schoolofwarpod Just started the book because it was featured on the School of War podcast. Was really troubled by the claim that the 1964 Civil Rights Act filibuster was led “by Republicans and Southern Democrats.” This claim is false.
@sola_chad And after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger blazes against you and your two friends!* You have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job.
Job 42:7
@sola_chad For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil. 2 Cor. 5:10
@sola_chad After much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them, “My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. Act 15:7
@sola_chad Because there arose no little dissension and debate by Paul and Barnabas with them, it was decided that Paul, Barnabas, and some of the others should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and presbyters about this question. Acts 15:2
@sola_chad And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18
@sola_chad And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.
The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
Luke: 1:46-49

@johnkonrad Padre Pio once said he was praying for his grandfather, who had died years earlier, to have a good death. God is outside time and space. Praying for your friend to have a good death, regardless of circumstances, will be heard by God. Ask for Padre Pio’s intercession. God bless
@FatherChrisVor1 AMEN! Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy Mercy. Amen
I never knew the truth about Mao's Cultural Revolution and The Great Famine until I came to the U.S. I was lied to for the 24 years living in China.
I personally know how the centralized education and state-controlled media works to control the minds of the people.
I have been educating the youth about horrors of communism with the other survivors, but we are against a giant propaganda machine to promote government is the solution to everything.
We must abolish Federal Dept. of Education and stop funding media companies.
