The reason for this is not that non-denom churches are doing a better job proclaiming the Gospel. The reason is that non-denom churches are functioning as lemming motels, the last stop people make before they plunge into unbelief.
This will be an unpopular opinion on the Right but I think this is kind of dumb, even as a troll. Lake Ontario was given that name on maps by European explorers long before the Canadian province of Ontario was named. There are several cities in America called Ontario -- at least one of them predating the Canadian province by like 100 years -- because the word originates with native tribes in North America. It's not a Canadian invention. Canadians never uniquely owned the lake or the name. So in effect all you're doing here is actually giving them credit for a thing that wasn't theirs to begin with. Yeah it's funny when Canadians are upset I guess or whatever, but Lake Ontario, the name itself, is *American* history dating back many centuries. Not sure how you own Canada by deleting your own history.
"if Appalachia was a third world nation for white people"
You'd get an economy roughly the size of Spain's, divided among half as many people, giving you a GDP per capita comparable to Finland or Canada.
Finance & manufacturing are the top industries (15.6% & 14.1% of regional GDP, respectively). Note the irrelevance of tourism (3% of GDP) compared to other 'third world nations.'
Appalachistan would have a slightly lower Gini coefficient (less income inequality) than the U.S. as a whole. The unemployment rate is ~4%, comparable to the rest of the U.S. & half of France's.
Counting associates degrees + bachelors, Appalachistan would have a tertiary educational attainment rate of 39%, higher than the EU.
Counting bachelor's degrees only (4 yrs in the U.S. vs. 3 yrs in the EU, so biased toward EU), Appalachistan's educational attainment is comparable to Germany (29% vs 30%).
The Greek philosopher and noted Woke Right Postliberal, Aristotle, opens his book "Politics" with the following line:
"Every state is a community of some kind, and every community is established with a view to some good"
Boomer who inherited an American factory that was integral to the economy of our nation from their parents and outsourced the labor to China in 2002: “Why don’t you just get a job that pays 700k a year by shaking hands like I did when I was your age?”
An idea:
All Carriers named for Revolutionary war battles.
All future Battleships named for States
All future cruisers named for WW2 battles
All future DDGs named for Naval MOH winners
All future FFGs named for Navy Cross recipients.
All boomers named for cities
All attack subs named after fish
Everything else except target tugs named for naval personnel.
Target tugs named after democrats.
Beef prices aren't up becuase of tariffs you moron. They are up because:
1. 4 meatpackers have consolidated the entire industry and are currently under investigation for price fixing.
2. Cattle herds are at record lows because of leftist policy for the past 10 years intentionally trying to destroy the meat industry to prevent climate change.
3. We imported 40 million people in the past 4 years that are all subsudized by the government to buy beef from walmart.
This is all well known and the American left has been public about this for years. A temporary waver of tariffs on foreign beef to bring prices down during midterm elections is not proof that tariffs are bad or that the current situation is caused by tariffs.
Please take note of all the conservative influencers and commentators who are very eager to issue lectures to young right wing men and scold them for their spicy jokes and for the edgy podcasts they listen to, and yet are right now very very hesitant to deliver any rebuke to the legions of radicalized women openly celebrating a mass murderer of children. This tells everything you need to know. And when they pivot back to their breathless, theatrical denunciations of right wing males, be sure to ignore everything they say.
The Trump/Vance administration has done more to deregulate and pull government interference out of the economy than any republican in recent history.
But these losers refuse to admit it because they were never-Trump in 2016, never-Trump in 2020, reluctantly had to support Trump in 2024, and are back to the bit doing never-Vance in 2028.
Thousands of black people rallied around Karmelo Anthony, who stabbed a white kid to death. Now thousands of women are rallying around Lindsay Clancy, who strangled all of her children to death. We have been told for years about the "radicalization" of young white men but it seems that the worst and most psychotic forms of radicalization are happening in pretty much every group but that one.
Yes, you’re in the “woke right” if you want state power. So anyone who has ever voted in any election ever (thus attempting to gain and exercise state power) is woke right. More brilliant analysis from the great Twitter sage.
Ideally, you'd want to an island nation - not too big, but not too small. Surrounded by seas that are cool but don't freeze, with its major cities not too far from the coast. Plus solid bedrock and low seismic risk.
Such a perfect country would obviously go all in on nuclear...
