“I extend the word Israel to all the people of God, according to this meaning,— ‘When the Gentiles shall come in, the Jews also shall return from their defection to the obedience of faith; and thus shall be completed the salvation of the whole Israel of God, which must be gathered from both; and yet in such a way that the Jews shall obtain the first place, being as it were the first-born in God’s family.’” — Calvin’s commentary on Romans 11:26, section 6 of chapter 15 in volume 15 of his New Testament Commentary
It’s not just the dispensationalists. 👀
R.C. Sproul: “I take a classic premillennial view on Romans 11, following Edwards, Calvin, and Hodge, and all the rest, and it talks about a future conversion of ethnic Israel, and I believe that.”
Everything old is new again.
“For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.”
- 2 Corinthians 11:4 (ESV)
Christians have not recently been adept political thinkers. So, 2 things on this…
1) We should respect Mormons enough to be honest with them that, by their own self-identification, they are “not creedal Christians” (what Mormons THEMSELVES will say, bc they understand they disagree with many/most of the core doctrines of Christianity that are expressed in the earliest creeds)
2) Christians need to develop the ability to understand there are two overlapping but distinct realms: the church and the state (Jesus, 1 Peter, Augustine)
Therefore, there will be some people that are on a DIFFERENT TEAM spiritually (not Christians), but on the SAME TEAM culturally (aligned in almost all political / cultural goals).
If you don’t understand this, you will oppose people you should befriend in the political/cultural realm, and you will befriend people you should differentiate from in the church/spiritual realm.
@joelpollak@DonnaDavisHNL Article 4, Section 4 assign a controller and put the entire state into receivership.
The federal government has a constitutional duty to guarantee the citizens of California a republican form of government.
Because it was all backed by the government. The risk to the banks was literally zero. If an indian went belly up on their mortgage and fled back to india, it was our tax dollars that paid for it.
82 years ago, on the beaches of Normandy, brave British and Allied forces changed the course of history forever.
We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those courageous men and women.
Our debt to them can never be repaid.
Rodney King, OJ, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Karmelo Anthony. My entire life I have watched black activists rally around the most dysfunctional, degenerate, morally repugnant parasites imaginable. Celebrating and defending the absolute worst of the worst. People who contribute nothing to society. When’s the last time an actual virtuous and heroic black man won popular support in his own community? It seems that kind of black man is more likely to be shunned than celebrated.
@CynicalPublius How dare this dirty rotten scoundrel invoke the sacrifice of this generation of courageous men. He has crapped on everything they held dear. 👇

INDIA JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT LIST OF WHAT THEY WERE SELLING TO GET INTO AMERICAN WORKPLACES
Not vague fraud. Not "some bad actors." NAMED CREDENTIALS. SPECIFIC INSTITUTIONS. Field by field.
🇮🇳 Medicine — fake medical degrees sold to applicants seeking hospital jobs in the US, UK, France, and Canada
🇮🇳 Nursing — counterfeit nursing certificates with fake seals, fake holograms, fake registrar signatures
🇮🇳 Engineering — forged engineering credentials specifically engineered to pass employer verification
🇮🇳 One institution — 36,025 fake degrees sold while awarding only 5,455 real ones
🇮🇳 Price per fake credential — as little as $1,400
🇮🇳 Total seized — 100,000+ counterfeit certificates from 22 universities
🇮🇳 Suspects arrested — 11, across multiple Indian states
🇮🇳 Estimated fakes still in circulation — 1,000,000
🇮🇳 H-1B approvals going to Indian nationals — 71% of all approvals in FY2024
🇮🇳 H-1B holders who ended up in junior or entry-level positions — 83% during Biden's term
💀 11 arrests
💀 22 universities implicated
💀 ZERO of the credentials targeted military bases or government facilities
💀 100% civilian workforce infiltration — hospitals, engineering firms, tech companies
Every credential on this list was designed to place someone in a job that requires skills they never actually proved they had. Not contractors. WORKERS IN AMERICAN WORKPLACES.
Ken Paxton's investigation is still running. These are the credentials it was built to find.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨
Listen very carefully to one of Rush Limbaugh’s last callers literally crying because our worthless Republican elected leaders won’t do anything for us. “It’s better to have an enemy in front of you than a ‘friend’ who’s behind you that’s just going to stab you in the back.” I remember this call and felt his emotion then and feel it even more so now.
NEVER TIP THE CASHIER. Am I the only one stunned to constantly see prompts to tip 20% in order for the cashier to hand me a coffee or whatever? This is socialist madness. DO NOT go along with it. Starbucks et al. must repent!

Getting rid of the H-1B visa should be the end goal. But that will require a lot of changes in the senate that unfortunately will take time.
What we can do right now to solve 99.9% of the issue is just put india on the banned countries list and end OPT.
Both of those Trump could do today with the stroke of a pen. We need people to put pressure on Trump to act now. In a few years it will be too late.
