It would seem some are expecting that during Trump's second term, the recreational use of marijuana may be legalized. This could be huge for companies like the one highlighted in the article. Thoughts? https://www.google.com/finance/quote/TLRY:NASDAQ?authuser=0&rapt=AEjHL4Ps66xwgtono0IRLcp-r5xlaMssKOAxjtY3nQ94Wne4WBlohfD66Wrq5dQtapJgPSVHTWBHRsg0LeMcbxMYuOnl_8xYvnXKeylzTkCXH3YZH3eB1to

Most of what is written about Jesus in the Bible concerns His ministry, which means most of what happened before then is completely unknown to us and quite possibly irrelevant. However, since he worked as a carpenter with his earthly father, I imagine he may have handled currency at some point. During His ministry, though, I don't think there was much need for Him to personally handle money as He always had followers who would handle that.

I could also see Trump restart the Keystone Pipeline that Biden mothballed four years ago.

Tariffs are a way to force companies that have moved out of the US to move back, just like what happened under Trump's first administration. He put tariffs in place and eliminated a lot of unnecessary red tape for companies to do business within the US. He is putting this country first again.

I have heard that as well. If that were to come true they would have to eliminate more than 7.5 billion people. What do you think would happen to everything from the local to the global economies? At this point, it would be devastating. That is to say I wouldn't think there isn't someone who may want to try, or at least work toward that goal, but I doubt they could do something to kill off that many people that wouldn't irreparably damage the planet. Anything at that scale would be insane and something I don't think God would allow.

Prior to the election, we were closer to a major war, but now that Trump is President-elect, that whole thing has been easing. As for the end times, an argument can be made that we have been in the end times since Jesus ascended into heaven. Realistically, it would be foolish for any rich person to wish for another global war, especially one that would end in the wholesale slaughter of billions of people. There is no money in it. Even if a small percentage of people survived what would be left in the way of wealth? During a post-apocalyptic world, the physically and mentally strong will be the most powerful. Money will mean nothing, but resources will be the currency that everyone will use. One major indicator that we would be headed to a major war is many, if not all, of the richest people, would be pulling out of the stock market, at least selling the stocks of companies that will not matter and will ultimately fold up and disappear during such a conflict. Greed can be a powerful thing. It can make people do stupid things, but it will also make people who have a lot want to hold on to what they have and a major war would be a threat to that. I foresee many of the wars that are currently going on will either quiet down or end altogether while Trump is in office.

I will expect that to end now that Trump is going to be President. At least for the years he will be in office. Who knows what will happen in four years.

How about never? Never is a good time to allow transgender surgeries.

It means he will redo what was undone by the Biden administration and now that we have a Republican majority in both the Senate and the House he will be able to get even more done. Personally, I am hoping he dives into the corruption in many of the ABC organizations in our government and starts to clean house.

"Las Vegas oddsmaker predicts election winner"
Knotical replied to WilliamL's topic in U.S. Politics
That is because most of the pollsters are biased and are conflating their candidate's likelihood of winning in order to affect the public into thinking there is no point in voting against the pollsters are saying is going to win. Going forward, the public will no longer listen to polls or the legacy media. The tide is turning, and people are tuning into podcasts to get more informed information from people who are not in the pocket of those who are trying to control these elections. -
It has become clear, at least to me and some others, that Kamala never really wanted to be president. She never provided information of any real substance during any of the interviews that she gave and just continually bad-mouthed Trump at her rallies (which were not as heavily attended as Trump's). She basically looked like someone who worked in middle management that someone higher wanted to promote but she was never prepared for the job and was afraid she may actually get it. The democratic party and its supporters certainly did their darndest to push her into that position. There is a stat floating around that the dems paid over $1 billion where the Trump campaign only paid somewhere around $400 million. With all things considered this has to be one of the biggest failures that the Democratic party has experienced in history.

Nah, we homeschool. Oklahoma's homeschooling laws are not as friendly as Texas.

Kind of bitter-sweet results where I am. While I am glad Trump has been all but confirmed as the winner as president, by city just elected to replace most, if not all, the conservatives on our city council with liberals, along with the mayor. We were recently declared a sanctuary city for the unborn, and our mayor had instituted a ban on biological males from entering female restrooms. I am expecting all of that, and more to be undone very soon.

Here is one site where you can watch the results: https://www.270towin.com/2024-election-results-live/president/ Interestingly they have already called Florida for Trump.

I voted earlier this week. People need to turn off the legacy media and just watch the interviews these two are giving. I will take Trump's honest and open discourse over Harris' ongoing word salads eight days a week.

I think we already saw quite a bit of the winnowing since covid.

In many ways when it comes to recusing someone for not contributing it is usually something that is rather informal, and not something, at least at first, would lead to excluding an individual from the group. It is the duty of the leaders to be involved in recusing others. This would pretty much be a very elementary stage of what we would call censuring or putting someone under discipline in order to correct them.
-
With how things are structured there will always be a winner, whether legitimate or not. In order for this to change there would have to be some sort of massive upheaval where the most powerful group (physically not monetarily) would take over and install a leader of their own choosing.
-
I think the passage eludes to why someone would be excluded, not making a contribution(labor and toil) thus being able to avail themselves of what has been offered(bread).
-
Right, though all of that pretty much happens at the same time. Quickening, repentance, regeneration, justification, conversion, and then the beginning of sanctification.
-
This is why it is best to vote in person, if at all possible. Many districts here in Texas have early voting, which makes it much more convenient to avoid these kinds of problems.

The elect are those who were chosen to follow Jesus Christ and were given saving faith upon conversion.
