Far be it from me to presume the perogatives of God. I got enough to be concerned with on my own plate.

Very much out of the bible.

I do know there's a school of christian thought that most people don't know about. IMO it offers the clearest insight into what's going on in this world. I allude to it from time to time hoping that would pique someone's interest. The all might God knows the beginning from the end. He never does anything without telling the prophets,or a true prophet. So there is prophetic insight out there. I am not that prophet but I know some of it.

That's for God to decide.

American justice is only so effective. The ultimate judgement is the one that really matters.

Race and politics are closely related. They are like 1st cousins. A lot of blood has been shed by black people in their efforts to secure the right to vote. Besides, I'll say it again, and again and again President Obama is out of office. He got paid for a speaking engagement. Live with it. Bush "read my lips" got paid. Clinton got paid. Trump made 1.5 million for a speech once. Obama get $400k and all of a sudden it's a big deal. Politics u say? Yeah the politics of skin color. That is the only difference that matters. That is why you and people like you and so obsessed with president 44 after he has left office. I mean someone from Lumberton or Evadale tell me what is and what isn't a race issue. Come on man. Sell that to the marines, they might buy it.

Getting so called 'called out' and trying pass a law revoking his pension are two different things.

Obama must of said something against wall street. I wasn't paying attention. Now he makes $ 400k for a speech, and many on the right are in an uproar about it. Teflon coated Trump railed again Hillary having wall street connections. And how he was going to 'drain the swamp' of of fat cat insiders. Then he turns around and fills his cabinet with the same type of people. I don't get it. I mean people, like you, rail against Obama, call him a hypocrite. Meanwhile Trump is one of the most mis guided hypocrites of all time . and You don't see it, or you refuse to see it. Amazing.

"Self righteous christian" is just a hackneyed phrase which lies around and is a convenient club to whack someone over the head with. I bring up religion because it offers the best insights, the only insights as to how to solve the world's problems. People don't want a christian solution. Or they want Christ to solve their problems on their terms. That's not going to happen.

Racism is not going anywhere, unfortunately. It didn't start with President Obama, it didn't end when he finished his second term. What we have now is more people, like yourself, who stick their heads in the sand and pretend it is not there. As long as there is a devil, there will be racism, and sexism, and the haves vs. the have nots, etc., and on and on.

Paraphrasing the good Pastor's sermon today: quit worrying about Trump, and Obama. Only Jesus' soon return can help this world. I find it amazing how much people are obsessed with Obama. He's out of office. Move on.

I my mind I was winning. It is politics no doubt. The topic of ex Presidents is political. Those guys have been paid hefty sums for speeches for a long time. Now that the first and only black prez is getting paid six figures all of a sudden it's an issue. Come on man. Anybody with an open mind, a rare thing in this forum, can see that.

If it walks, talks, quacks, and acts like a duck it's a duck. Only we're not talking about ducks we're discussing racism. Dismiss as a 'card' or whatever, it is what it is.

Trump spent his whole campaign talking about 'draining the swamp' and reeling in Wall Street. Then he turns around and appoints billion dollar wall street insiders on his cabinet. You conveniently ignore all that and focus on dems.

Bush I and II got six figures for speeches. Reagan made $1.08 million one year alone for speeches. Bill Clinton made a lot of money giving speeches also. Which leads me to believe President is being singled out because of the color of his skin.

Just because your team has the ability to beat a district opponent by 50 pts or more, there is not reason to harp on it. That's childish and immature. I saw that a few times this past season. I spoke on how it may cause problems and it did. Just the same, I love this forum. Folks get carried away sometimes but overall it keeps me informed. As many know I am a big time, long time Silsbee Tiger basketball fan. I only read about the football team, but I very seldom see a game in person. Whereas I try to attend 5 or 6 Tiger basketball games a year, which is not easy to do living in Houston. Speaking of Houston, I have wondered to myself as to why don't they have or start a forum like this in Houston? I quickly came to the conclusion that would not be a good idea. Still, I am glad there is this forum. Let's keep things in perspective folks, and be mindful and respectful of others.

We live in the digital age no doubt, but political preference is more analog than anything. It is not like you pull the switch and the impulse is no 0 you're right and 1 you're left. Having said that you just can't execute these prisoners for crimes that don't merit that. That would be barbaric. If you deport them back to their home country, maybe they continue serving their sentence, and maybe they don't. So fed prison is the best place for them. That's the price you pay for being a top rate first world country.

Un may not be able to launch a missile, but he does have who knows how much conventional artillery trained on Seoul. He also has a million man army. Once scenario suggests that when his vast army storms into S Korea and gets a look at a real modern society, they will all instantly desert. Prez Trump maybe on to something. Idk.

I'm not sure if he is bluffing. I do know if he does go to war he will be throwing Seoul Korea, Japan and the whole world's economy under the bus. If we go to war with N Korea and the latter manages to drop a bomb on Seoul or on the country of Japan the whole world's economy will collapse. It will very much be felt here in this country. It could also escalate into an all out nuclear night mare.

The current and future king of the world is the Pope.

I don't watch sports programming as much as I used to. I can't remember the last time I sat down and paid attention to sports center on ESPN. I watch snippets of Texans highlights, or Rockets, or Astros, from time to time. Otherwise I catch a 30 for 30 when I can. I didn't even know ESPN was considered liberal until someone mentioned it.

I really do not think there is a military or political solution to problems like North Korea, or Iran. Whether they get the money or not, Iran is close allies to Russia and Russia under Putin is crazy. Life on this planet is very fragile these days. Personally I think the only real solution is the fact that Jesus Christ is coming back. More on that another time. That's how I really feel. There was a small plane crash last Tuesday. The pilot had engine problems after leaving Conroe heading to College Station. Long story short the plane crash landed and ended up up side down in a small pond, just North of Huntsville. I knew that guy. I can't lie & say we were ace buddies but I knew him. We served as deacons together at the same church. His name: Kermit Faulkner. He was a very dynamic person: he was an electrical engineer / computer engineer. He flew planes on the side. He flew small planes, jets. He recently got ratings to fly helicopters. Not only that he rode a Harley Motorcyle. He played the sax at church, and he wasn't bad at that either. Nice looking guy, charismatic good christian. Now he's gone. I don't question God about things like that, but wow. How does this all tie together? It does to me. Life is relatively short. We all need to get to know the Lord.

The USA is spoken of in bible prophecy. I wish I could break that down. I am no expert, but I now a little about the subject. So, if America has a note worthy place in prophecy perhaps it is because we over come N Korea. If the Trump administration somehow disarms the North Korean issue, and that's a big if, his administration will be revered to say the least.

Just my opinion You don't have to care about it. The feeling is mutual to be honest about it.

The US has been on shaky ground in Iran way before President Obama got out of college. The US backed up the dictator the Shah so that big oil could pump the oil fields there so folks in the usa could continue to drive their big cars and later SUVs. I'm sure the CIA was in there working their magic to keep that whole thing going. That scenario goes back decades, back to the 50s. Your blame it all on Obama rant is old and worn out.
