This Newsmax host compares the ordination of a PC(USA) pastor to a Universal Life Church online ordination.

PC(USA) ordination requires a three-year masters of divinity, passing an ordination exam, and a host of presbytery requirements.

The Presbyterian tradition is older than the U.S.

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

Just went to check the Tigers score, assuming the game would be over by now, only to find that they’re tied in the 12th inning. Come on, kids, you can do this!

Nah, I mean, I get the impulse to make it the bar! But every experience is different, so your reaction to it might be different than the jaw thing. Doesn’t mean one is more painful than the other, just that there is variety!

Also, I don’t see peacemaking in her work, but to be fair, the Nobel Peace Prize is often awarded aspirationally—to encourage further peace efforts. And again, to be fair, she doesn’t seem to be disappearing or killing people *cough*Obama and Kissinger*cough*

Still, I worry.

While I admire María Corina Machado’s dedication to bringing down Maduro and transitioning Venezuela to democracy, I’m pretty skeptical of her. She‘s endorsed by Rubio, is a fan of Trump, greatly admires Thatcher, wants to privatize Venezuela’s oil industry, and has
boycotted entire elections.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

If you have a Nordstrom nearby, go to them and get measured! It’s totally worth it, and I’m not just saying that because I used to be a fitter. You can undress to your comfort level, have someone come with you, and get it done in 2 minutes or less. You don’t even have to buy anything.

Well, I already know I’m going to Hell. Might as well be a legionnaire of the Antichrist too, I guess.

An image of multibillionaire Peter Thiel holding a microphone. The text reads, “Exclusive: Tech billionaire Peter Thiel warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of AI are ‘legionnaires of the Antichrist’ in private lectures that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.”

My boss tried to convince me that whether or not you agree with him, he’s very articulate and makes his points well, and I was like.
