Forget it, he’s rolling.
Pete Hegseth Calls On The American People To Pray To Jesus Christ In U.S. Schools
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called on every American “who wants peace through strength” to pray for U.S. troops in the nation’s schools and churches “in the name of Jesus Christ.”
“I say the same to every American who wants peace through strength, may Almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight. And again, to the American people, please pray for them, every day, on bended knee, with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ,” he said.
Separation of Church and State? What’s that?
Their solution’s to let Jesus take the wheel, maybe.
“Peace Through Strength™!*”
*Peace Through Strength™ only works if God allows it. Do not use Peace Through Strength™ if you have recently sinned, sinned in the past without repenting, or are planning to sin in the future. Do not use Peace Through Strength™ against an opponent with a more power god, deity, great spirit, or near-infinitely powerful alien masquerading as a god. Peace Through Strength™ may cause severe economic dislocations if used for prolonged periods. Peace Through Strength™ should not be used by the very young, very old, women, the disabled, and/or the intelligent. Peace Through Strength™ should not be used as a permanent substitute for a rational international geopolitical policy. Ask your dictator if Peace Through Strength™ is right for you!
Admittedly, a dead guy could do a better job than them.
I wonder who WILL intervene in oil futures markets?
The U.S. may soon remove sanctions on Iranian oil stranded on tankers at sea, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday as Washington seeks to curb prices soaring over Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
He said the Treasury would “absolutely not” try to intervene in oil futures markets.
Wasn’t that what got Colin Kaepernick in trouble?
It all so confusing, when or when not to bend the knee.
We’re overly dependent on motor vehicles.
Also, many men regard their vehicle as an extension of their penis and are concerned more with size than practicality and thus get pathetic mileage.
It’s not confusing at all. Here’s the math.
White = kneeling good.
Black = kneeling bad.
Pathetic mileage for the vehicle or the penis?
Many of us are in locations with no public transport options.
I can manage rising gas and food prices because I live alone and my transportation needs are minimal.
That’s not the case for everyone.
Difficult times ahead and not much we can do about it.
There is no way to predict how things will change for all of us.
It’s exasperating.
I don’t think it is quite that black & white.
But wait! They’ve found a solution to the Strait straitjacket!
That’s frikkin brilliant.
Holy WTF, Batman! (The bolding is mine.)
I’m now wondering how soon it’s going to be before he says something so outrageous to an actual leader of a country that said leader responds by punching him.
Yes!
Much the same for me (we have a tiny bit of public transport options), but at work I see many, if not most, of my customers struggling.
Recently retired, so same here. I drive maybe 50 miles a week. We recently went solar and have electric bikes too. We’ll be OK.
But I used to drive at least 50 miles a day. That would start to get expensive.
Late response, but while my flaccid penis size does not correlate to my fellow countrymen, there is not actually much variation when erect.
I do drive a large double-cab truck, I have a stupidly long beard, and short hair. I am in every way a proto-redneck, albeit in the “not very concerned about public shows of their masculinity” subgenre.
I bought it because I have two young children, and had two dogs, and a road trip with both dogs and children in the same enclosed space would have become noisy and smelly…
In the US, it’s just a general thing, too, even for those without a penis.
Suburban housewives drive monstrosities that are primarily used to transport 1-2 kids and some groceries. The minivans of the past (though some still exist) have been replaced with SUVs of various stripes, from crossovers to 3 row monstrosities that can potentially seat an entire soccer team. And fuel efficient, they ain’t. Even the hybrid versions consume ridiculous volumes of gasoline.
I have a Chevy Equinox I would have preferred a Trax, but none were available on the enormous used car lot we bought from. It has a 14 gallon tank and gets alright milage. I had to let my beloved Kia Soul go because her motor and transmission were going. I needed something to haul a walker and Hubster and junk around in. A sedan is difficult for him as they are too close to the ground. He struggles to get in or out of them. The Kia was perfect for him the Equinox a tad tall, but we went with what they had that fit what I wanted: Remote start, all wheel drive (Michigan and the Kia did poorly in snow), heated seats, not black, white, beige, or grey. None were deal breakers, but that’s what I preferred.
We now have to drive 18 miles one way to therapy twice a week for at least 10 weeks. There is no such thing as mass transit to these small Michigan towns. And the public transit in our town is a joke. So I’m stuck for at least 10 weeks. Oh, and while he was in the hospital I drove at least 30 miles one way almost every day for a month. Ouch. Decent mass and/or public transport would be great, but I really don’t see it coming in my life time.
