When “science” becomes canonized as sacred & hallowed, questioning becomes heresy and damned. However, science is questioning. That is what propels and underpins all of scientific discovery and thought. The alternative is a dark age of political posturing.

Well would you look at that.
Arab Muslim Israelis, in Israel, lining up… TO VOTE.
It’s actually really funny, because do you know where Arab Muslims DO NOT get to vote? Samaria and Judea, or Gaza. The Palestinian Authority cancelled the election, again. 20 years now there have been none.
Because “apartheid” in Israel of course 🙄
One day, in the very distant future, the entire world will realize how they have been duped by the lies of these Arab propagandists and their western supporters.

Bibi Netanyahu is a hero. He understood what many Israelis failed to understand when they were about to commit suicide by giving the Palestinians a state.
He is a warrior who saved Israel many times, helped build the Israeli economy into the powerhouse it is today, and helped save the region from the axis of evil.
He speaks the only language this region understands.
It is better for Israel, and for the world, to keep Bibi as the prime minister of Israel.
In the Bible, there is a distinct conceptual and linguistic difference between an "elder" and a "priest."
The two roles come from entirely different words, histories, and functions in the biblical text. While the Old Testament heavily features a formal sacrificial priesthood, the New Testament shifts toward a structure led by local elders, viewing all believers as part of a spiritual priesthood.
1. Elder (Zaqen / Presbyteros)
The concept of an elder is rooted in governance, wisdom, and community leadership.
• Old Testament (Zaqen): Literally meaning "bearded" or "aged," elders were the tribal and civic leaders of Israel. They sat at the city gates, acted as judges, made political decisions, and represented the people (e.g., Exodus 3:16, Ruth 4:1). They were not religious ministers and did not offer sacrifices.
• New Testament (Presbyteros): The early Christian church adopted this model. Elders were mature spiritual leaders appointed to oversee, protect, and teach local congregations (e.g., Titus 1:5, 1 Peter 5:1-2). The New Testament uses the word elder interchangeably with overseer (bishop/episkopos) and pastor (shepherd/poimen).
2. Priest (Kohen / Hiereus)
The concept of a priest is rooted in mediation, sacrifice, and ritual purity.
• Old Testament (Kohen): Priests had to come strictly from the tribe of Levi and the lineage of Aaron. Their primary job was to act as mediators between a holy God and sinful humanity. They guarded the Tabernacle/Temple, offered animal sacrifices for sin, and managed the ritual purity of the nation (e.g., Leviticus 1-7).
• New Testament (Hiereus): The New Testament never uses the word hiereus (sacrificial priest) to describe an individual leader or office in the local Christian church. Instead, the New Testament applies this word in two specific ways:
1. Jesus Christ: He is described as the ultimate, final High Priest who offered Himself as a single, perfect sacrifice to end all animal sacrifices (Hebrews 4:14-16, 10:11-14).
2. All Believers: Because of Jesus, the entire church body is called a "royal priesthood" (hierateuma), meaning every individual Christian now has direct access to God without needing a human mediator (1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 1:6).
Strictly speaking within the text of the Greek New Testament, no—the word "elder" (presbyteros) does not mean a sacrificial "priest" (hiereus).
However, there is a massive linguistic paradox here because the modern English word "priest" actually evolved directly from the Greek word for elder!
The text breaks down across linguistic, etymological, and theological lines:
1. In the Original Greek Text (The Words Used)
The New Testament maintains a strict boundary between two completely different Greek words:
• Hiereus (Priest): This is the word used for a temple minister who offers blood sacrifices and mediates between God and man. The New Testament uses it for Jewish priests, pagan priests, Jesus Christ, and the collective body of believers. It is never used to describe a local Christian church leader.
• Presbyteros (Elder): This word literally means "older man" or "senior". It is used for the community leaders and pastors appointed to shepherd local congregations (e.g., Acts 20:17, Titus 1:5).
Because the text never uses hiereus for a church leader, standard Bible translations strictly translate presbyteros as "elder" or "presbyter".
2. The Linguistic Evolution (How "Elder" became "Priest")
Even though the words are completely different in the Greek text, they collided over centuries of English language history:
Etymologically, the word "priest" is just a shortened, localized contraction of the word "presbyter" (elder). When early English Christians spoke of a "priest," they literally meant a presbyteros.

Communists don’t need tanks anymore.
They need the Supreme Court, the universities, the media, and the bureaucracy.
Brazil just showed the playbook. Lula wins by a hair. Markets crash ~20%. A justice who used to be his lawyer extends voting after the polls close. The institutions stay locked.
Once they sink the claws in, voting them out gets almost impossible.
America is next if we keep pretending this is just normal politics.
Wake up. 🇺🇸
Awesome! Keep up the good work.
Today I walked into the White House. 🇺🇸
My mission to end child transition worldwide has the backing of the most powerful government on earth.
6 years ago this was a solo fight. Hour upon hour spent on the streets of Canada, next to no support, not knowing a soul in this fight, but never discouraged!
I have always known the victories that await.
I have always had faith that others would join the cause and in time we would stop this madness, everywhere.
Well, we are! 👉🏼 billboardchris.com/world-pro…
Much work to be done, but today I'm meeting with leaders at the highest levels of the U.S. government. I've also spoken up for kids at the EU Parliament (twice), the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, and the UN in New York, and been featured (by critics) on the main stage at the World Economic Forum.
I've met with members of Congress, testified before the Florida State legislature, helped ban this in Oklahoma, and sat down with lawmakers in the Canadian Parliament and in legislatures from B.C. to Washington, California, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Scotland, England, Israel, and Australia. In Brussels I met elected representatives from a dozen more European countries.
I've also been to jail 3 times, been arrested 5 times in 4 countries, had more than 300 visits from police, but never been charged with anything. All arrests were either after I was assaulted, or because I simply refused to yield to an angry mob and police who insisted I leave.
The answer to "Will you relinquish your rights to satisfy this violent mob?" will always be NO.
I've been assaulted dozens of times, had my arm broken, been mobbed by hundreds, painted on, spat on, car keyed, tires destroyed, and even had a catalytic converter stolen in Oakland. Note to self: don't stay in a cheap hotel in Oakland.
Hundreds of houses in my neighborhood have received mail from Antifa, trying to destroy my reputation, but all that did was bring in more support. Normal people don't like when kids are being harmed.
I even sued the Australian government when they tried to censor me on X, and won!
Mostly, I've spoken with thousands upon thousands of people on the street, in 14 countries, helping parents protect their kids, and reached millions more online.
We are winning because we tell the truth: that children are beautiful just as they are, no drugs or scalpels needed!
And we are going to stop child transition everywhere, no matter how long it takes.
If you wish to support me in this fight, I greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!

👀 oh yah. If you know what's good for you.
😂 Irish dim wittery.
Irish Army cannot become a tool of Israel?
Buddy, the Irish Army is about 7,800 people with no tanks, no combat aircraft, and a budget that wouldn’t buy the fuel for a week of Merkava operations. You could fit the entire active force into the parking lot of one Israeli base and still have room for the canteen.
Israel isn’t trying to use your army. Your army couldn’t be used for a toothpick. The only thing it might destroy is the idea that Ireland has a serious military.
The word "priest" is a mistranlation of the greek word for "elders". Elders were appointed not a class of priesthood never found, not ordained in the Bible. The Old Testament Israel had an ordained priesthood. The New Testament church not so. Do better think more. It matters not a whit what pagan influenced churches deemed regarding Rome. The lamp had long gone out on heretical churches making such unbiblical prouncements

Shenzhen gold hub sees crowds as spot prices slip below $4,000/oz
Gold prices fell over the weekend, and the Shuibei market — a gold jewelry manufacturing and trading hub in the southern metropolis of Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong Province — saw a surge of visitors. Photos posted by netizens on Chinese social media platforms showed some aisles so crowded that people could barely move.
Netizens flooded the platforms with posts like "There are more people here buying gold than you'd find at a vegetable market," while "booming" and "packed with people" became buzzwords. (Global Times)

This narrative is getting boring. I'm not compromising my values just to keep the NDP out of power.
This is not a binary problem....there is more than one way forward. xitter.cf/BrockWarkentin/status/…

"It's a critical time in history", but not for the reasons he thinks.
Even in defeat he's promoting a failed ideology that got BC to the brink of disaster.
Politicians like him created this crisis, and it's critical that we continue to get rid of these morons.
I'm glad he resigned. Good riddance.
I can’t remember a premier more driven by pure radical ideology and less by what actually works. For years he pushed every failed progressive experiment on British Columbia. The results: tent cities, open drug use, record overdoses, unaffordable housing, rising crime, and capital fleeing. Then he had the arrogance to call a snap election two years early when the Conservatives looked messy, thinking voters would reward the mess he made. They didn’t. The NDP just got a proper shit-kicking and he’s out.
He wasn’t a pragmatist who occasionally went too far. He was the ideology, and it caused nothing but harm. BC is better off without him.

When @realDonaldTrump was elected for his first term, innumerable people including most of my academic colleagues said that the worst realities would befall the United States. None of those things happened. They then said that he would wait until his second term to end democracy, institute martial law, etc. None of those things have happened. Is there a SINGLE honest individual amongst those people who is willing to admit that they were grossly incorrect and hence irrationally unhinged?

Mosques are chapters of a political organization called Islam. Don’t confuse them with churches. Their main function is advancing the political cause of Islam, not worship.
This is horrifying
Abdul El-Sayed is visiting mosques and rallying Muslims to vote for him during Midterms. This is the Islamic Takeover of America
“We have that opportunity, insha'Allah, on November 3rd — You can go in and vote tomorrow. Make sure you, your wife, your husband, if you're a sister in the back, your mother, your father, your children if they're voting age, your neighbors have made a plan to vote on or before November 3rd. I'm gonna say that date one more time. The 3rd day of November.
“We cannot miss the opportunity. Again, we have a responsibility to lift our voices, and we have that opportunity, insha'Allah, on November 3rd. I'm asking you to lift that voice of yours.
Fight for the kind of America you believe in, an America that provides all the basic needs of a dignified life to our own people and does not take it away from other people. JazakAllahu Khairan. Again, my name is Abdul El-Sayed and I'm grateful for your support.”
This should horrify every American. He’s using mosques for his political agenda
Politicians are not supposed to go into places of worship and ask for votes. If the place of workshop allows it, legally they should lose their tax exempt status
Where is the accountability!?
The rule is Internal Revenue Code §501(c)(3), specifically the political campaign prohibition known as the Johnson Amendment
Allowing a candidate to use the organization’s facilities or events to campaign without equal opportunity for other candidates and distributing or publishing materials that favor or oppose candidates results in loss of tax exempt status
Using organizational resources like money, property, staff, lists and more to support or oppose a candidate also results in loss of tax exempt status
Strip this mosque of tax exempt status
