  1. Why are they gathering thought they came here to work and go to school. Lazy bums, get back to school and work quit congregating. You think this is a Catholic Church or something! /s
  2. Trump ended DACA true but that is only part of the story. Please tell all of the story if you are going to post. Trump gave Congress 6 months to fix DACA and codify it into law. We had a former President enact immigration to which Trump was vilified for. (recall the so-called travel ban) Now people want to say he cannot cancel this particular EO. Complete horse manure. A future President can rescind any EO they wish. Congress can block any EO put forth by the President. I will never be sorry for wanting legal immigration instead of someone promoting it is okay to enter and reside long-term in this country illegally on the path to citizenship. Constitutional rights only apply to citizens of the USA and I hope he stops anchor babies as well. People like to espouse Europe as the moral high ground but didn't Merkel in the not too distant past say it was a mistake to take in all the refugees which 90% of them are not. No to amnesty.
  3. Per the IMF website, dated June 5, 2017: The Iraqi authorities and the IMF mission have reached agreement on a supplementary budget for 2017, objectives for the 2018 budget, and strengthened procedures to keep expenditure under control The SBA aims to restore fiscal and external balance and to improve public financial management while protecting social spending. This budget is nothing more than compliance with the IMF. There has never nor will there ever be a stated rate for the dinar in the budget. Except where noted this adds to the budget passed in 2016 for the year 2017.
  4. One thing that you doth forget is the period in which the translation into English occurred (see what I did there!). At the time the head of a Noble family was called Lord and the wife was called Lady. This stuck when referring to nobility and greater persons. Even sometimes when speaking to a King they were addressed as Lord. However, the Bible in all actuality is unclear in the hierarchical nature to which Jesus is and through time this confusion has caused great controversy. Even the Holy Mother Mary is called/referred to her title as Lady. While her heirarchical structure within the Bible is not as confusing, as parents of Nobles were also referred the same title passed down to their children. The Egg Theory as to the Holy Trinity being one in the same does not hold water nor does the male being Father/Son theory when it comes down to it. As Botz pointed out many passages point to Jesus and God being to separate entities. However, the ones he did not point out were those in which Jesus prays and is asked who he is praying to. His reply is always his Father. Second Jesus himself said he would be at the right hand of his father. These passages themselves lend to the confusion is Jesus and God one in the same. Now some will argue that Jesus spoke in parables when he taught. Yes, the keyword here is "taught". As there is a passage when Jesus tells his disciples to sell their cloaks and buy a sword. This is the literal word of Jesus and no parable has been associated with this passage in the Garden at a time when Jesus was not teaching either informally or formally. While there are Codices in various libraries in the Middle East, the Dead Sea scrolls have been controversial in some ways and very few have even heard of the controversies that have arisen from them as more scrolls have been recovered from that time period. Other books have come to light like the Book of Judas and the Book of Mariam also shed controversy on the image of Jesus. From all of the books we have been able to clearly ascertain, Jesus was a man in the first century. He inspired the world and was able to perform miracles of the Church. What no one knows with 100% certainty given the verses as anecdotal evidence, Jesus is or was a God while he walked the Earth in the form of a man. This is where faith comes into play. Faith or the belief that Jesus was God in human form is not wrong nor is the belief given the verses Jesus was the Son of God but not God himself is also correct. The only way to verify whether or not Jesus was God in the flesh is witness with our own eyes. However, this is only possible when we are removed from our flesh and our conscious/spirit travels to Heaven and meet him or them. I know there is a place we call Heaven and a Hell and I will leave it at that. When the evidence is put forth in an objective manner the evidence holds true for both sides which is why Faith is needed to answer the question. You either believe or you do not Jesus is God in this circumstance.
  5. How many Jubilee years are there? Can any year be a Jubilee year? Can we have 15 years in a row be a Jubilee year? Inquiring minds wants to know what constitutes a Jubilee year!
  6. Passing the HCL would nationalize all oil companies under Iraq. No more SUMO because then it will be SUMO wrestling with Iraq.
  7. A failed prediction is what this was being called? It was more like taking advantage of people and their faith. I am all for people having faith but when they are being exploited, to which this tripe was, it's not even remotely considered faith nor prediction. Those who have faith may it never waiver in your heart and mind. Unless you know people on here and especially when you look at their history of posting, someone says that the true God told them in a dream that something will happen on a certain day and it's not backed by evidence as ascribed to what constitutes a miracle by the Vatican then it is all BS. Now if someone wants to know true prophetic vision beyond the Bible, research the three children who saw the vision of the Holy Mother and how the Vatican reacted to a true miracle. A hint the last of the three prophecies was only revealed to the Pope and the Pope took it to his grave. Christians need to stand up for their faith.
  8. I have been watching this tripe for awhile now. These people who have been spouting off that god or whatever is talking to them (in a dream) are pure BS artists and people ate it up. Had I spoken up I am sure people would have defended them instead like Job I have patience and just bought time. I for one believe these few were here to stir up trouble deliberately and they did just exactly that. When you are emotionally tied to investment things like this happen. People will be people.
  9. 2 Peter 2King James Version (KJV) 2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
  10. Please reread Teneab's post. I merely expanded on his exactly statement which isn't quite exact but more of an approximation. It clearly states "exactly" 2 months. It's not "exactly" 2 months, it's 2 months and 1 day according to calendar math. If you are going to use the word "exactly" then mean 60 days otherwise leave out the word exactly when working with banks and calendars. Anything else is an approximation. Tell the bank you mean exactly 2 months and try to sneak in an extra day for your interest on a CD. Won't happen. I bet you think a week is exactly from saturday to saturday too. A week is from Saturday to friday. When dealing with finances your concept of a month (same day next month) is different from the bank's concept of a month (30 days). And no when the bank deals with a month with less than 30 days in it, it is not the same day the next month unless specified. When banks first started to add interest in computers, computers were exact meaning that when doing division or multiplication, the computer would compute more than two places for currency. Now this is not a problem for you or me as we would round accordingly. The programmers saw this and instead of rounding they truncated after the 2nd decimal to the right. They stuck the remaining amount into a separate account. Well these partial pennies didn't seem like a big deal at the time. However with the numerous transactions and over a period of time they added up to hundreds of thousands of dollars and were well on their way to a million dollars all from not being exact. The bank found out after the fact and now banks all over the world go by exact figures, so when dealing with a month it is 30 days. When dealing with a week it's 7 days. When dealing with interest it's rounded to the nearest cent. Approximations aren't done when it comes to currency and they aren't done when it comes to the calendar. Even when the bank specifies your interest rate for credit cards as well as investments it does so in exact days. Ask a banker and they will tell you some cycles have 29 days and others have 30 days. Ask your interest for the next billing cycle and they will tell it depends on how many days are in the cycle. Interest is calculated accordingly. When dealing with exact days on a calendar and finances, a month is 30 days no matter how many days are in the month. By the way the programmers that did the above went to jail for robbing the bank.
  11. Doing the math it is actually 61 days and not "exactly" 2 months. "Exactly" 2 months would make it August 28, 2017 (60 days) not August 29. Therefore 2 months exactly from June 29th is today. Don't forget July has 31 days accounting for the less one day.
  12. Iraq | Credit Rating Standard & Poor's credit rating for Iraq stands at B- with stable outlook. Moody's credit rating for Iraq was last set at Caa1 with stable outlook. Fitch's credit rating for Iraq was last reported at B- with stable outlook. In general, a credit rating is used by sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and other investors to gauge the credit worthiness of Iraq thus having a big impact on the country's borrowing costs. This page includes the government debt credit rating for Iraq as reported by major credit rating agencies.

Unlike the ratings provided by the major credit agencies, our index is numerical because we believe it is easier to understand and more insightful when comparing multiple countries. Arguably, our ratings are less likely to be manipulated because they are unsolicited and we are not paid in any way to provide countries with a rating. Technically, our ratings are based on a forward looking macro economic model which takes into account several leading economic indicators, financial markets and very little discretion.

  13. In 2009 and his first year in office, the former POSTUS 0bummer, held his first rally on July 22, 2009. This rally was quoted by CNN as the "campaigner in chief" hits the campaign trail. Thus giving former POSTUS obummer a one month and three day lead on Trump as campaign rallies go.
  14. Is Common Sense a cat with 9 lives? He was ruled dead as a door knob the day Clinton started dumbing down the masses
  15. Be breighve and stop clucking and start mooving them then.
  16. I see a few of those who have no longer become independent news. Drudge is pseudo-campaigning against Trump now. So they wouldn't be independent and have joined rank in file with LSM. Few more like that. Some sites are riddled with ads it's cumbersome just to get through an article. For example, The Blaze. It takes 15 minutes to load a page on the Blaze website whose owner is Glen Beck. Dana Loesch also works for the Blaze. Both involved in the farce when the never trumpers got together and signed the petition during the campaign. Dana Loesch's shrill and whining is plain ridiculous on her daily talk show. Friday she was doing sound effects with her mouth. She stands for gun rights and has a hot bod but that is as much I will give to her. She is too commercialized at this point.
  17. Preemie born in Mexico and held ‘hostage’ by hospital finally makes it home to Indiana MARTINSVILLE, Ind. – A newborn preemie who was being held “hostage” by a Cancun hospital was finally released and arrived at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis Thursday. "It’s been awful," Beckham's aunt Amanda Smith told FOX59 in an exclusive interview shortly after Beckham arrived. "I mean, it’s been a roller coaster. It’s been from, you’re at rock bottom, we thought we were getting somewhere, we’re back down, we thought we were getting somewhere." The nightmare started for Martinsville couple Michaela Smith and Larry Ralph Jr. shortly after their first child was born. Michaela gave birth to Beckham 12 weeks early while they were on vacation in Mexico. He weighed just two pounds, eight ounces. Shortly after his birth, the family says the hospital demanded they pay $13,000 for Beckham’s first day of care and various other fees. "It wasn’t so much the quality of care as it was the staff and the outrageous demands of the hospital," said another aunt, Becca Ewert. "When it comes to the nurses and doctors, he was literally saying, they were going over and beyond. They did everything they could. He could tell they cared about the baby." But the family says the hospital administration told them Beckham couldn’t leave until they paid the entire bill up front. The total kept changing but was last pegged at $30,000, just two hours after the family was told it would be $27,000. They decided to call Greenwood city councilor Ezra Hill, who in turn reached out to Representative Trey Hollingsworth's staff for help. "Our family is going to be forever indebted to them," said Ewert. "From the second we got a phone call to them, they never, ever stopped. It’s way more than a job to them." Ewert and Smith say they were still receiving phone calls from Hollingsworth's staff well into the night and early morning hours trying to make sure Plan A and Plan B were still intact. As the family waited for Beckham's arrival at Riley Hospital for Children, Hollingsworth and the key staff who worked 24/7 to resolve the issue joined them. Senator Donnelly's office stated they reached out to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico on Thursday. Fortunately, Thursday afternoon, the hospital released the family with a reduced negotiated bill and they boarded a medical jet to head back to the United States. That jet cost the family $30,800 up front to transport Beckham all the way back to Indiana. The family says every dollar spent was worth it to end a potentially life-and-death situation. "It’s family," said Ewert. "There’s nothing more important than that. There isn’t." No thanks.
  18. Wow just 10% now? It used to be much higher for both. Are they still illegally entrapping people?
