You've asked that a number of times before, and as has been posted in reply by others, we do not know. But to put it more precisely, we are not given to know for certain. Not in this life. Divine revelation/scripture is what we all would go by when seeking an answer, but that is God's...

Yes. It was painful. But it's not just the gaffes; it's the whole presentation.

Margaret, I agree with the advice for you to lay off your heavy-handed evangelizing, since it appears to be mainly confrontational. As others here observed, some of what has alarmed you MAY be considered hostile towards the true God, yes, but not all of what has offended you. I would not...

As you said..."dropped." These two words are referring to the same thing. Reportedly, it was Trump himself who wanted the platform to focus on the many policies that so sharply differentiate his intentions from Biden's policies. And also that it all be put in unmistakable terms. That's...

Probably a 2 or 3. When I was younger, I could be made irate by a reckless driver, but now I'm more concerned to just stay safe. I'll look for some place to turn off and let whatever it is go on its way.

A negotiated settlement in which Ukraine cedes most of the land currently occupied by the Russians might be possible, except that Ukraine appears determined not to go for that. It would mean a loss of critical land and resources to an aggressor nation, although it would mean the survival of...

Yes. Dropped. I didn't think there was any question about that. So then, the question is about the effects. As I said, to describe this more timely and concise platform as a "significant move to the left" seems to me to be an exaggeration, as is "very much to eliminate the fiscal and social...

All things considered, I still feel that it's a mistake to label the following statement, which is taken from the platform, as something that would "move the official Party Platform significantly to the left." "To make clear our commitment, we offer to the American people the 2024 GOP Platform...

So, Tim Scott or Ben Carson Maybe Marco Rubio or Gov. Glenn Youngkin, but definitely not Burgum or J.D. Vance Rubio, Vance, or Byron Donalds That would be Ramaswamy, but he's not thought to be on the short list of possible VPs Rubio

In his case, though, we have four years of a Trump administration to look at before deciding what to believe about the candidates promises. How do you rate such developments during Trump's first four years in the presidency with keeping us out of war, restraining Iran and North Korea...

Probably so, but the new date for the Democrat nominating "convention," which is slated to take place only a few days after the Republicans wrap up, will be a fairly lackluster event since it will take place online, not in person, and will have as its main purpose to nominate Biden and end the...

Yes, but those principles have not been renounced. The platform, a temporary thing always, merely omits mention of them--as you noted. Moreover, the values of the majority of Republicans haven't softened recently, platform or no platform. It's the stance of the candidate that wins over voters...

Does the new platform, which has been praised for its simplicity, endorse any of the above acts or issues? That is to say, does it actually advocate deficit spending and a steadily mounting national debt, and keeping taxes high, and does it assert that unborn children have no right to life? I...

He doesn't have to announce before the Convention, that's true; but since 1980 there's been only one time that the ultimate Presidential nominee of either party didn't announce his choice of VP prior to the Convention. (That's not counting re-election campaigns in which the President and...

Observers seem to think that what you described was a good decision. While the Democrats are in turmoil, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to take the media's attention off from all of that and move it to something else. What's more, if it's true that Trump has always had his choice of VP in...

Hello, Bethlehem! We're pleased that you are here.

LOL. Yes, I hear you! I mentioned what I did for two reasons-- First, I thought that was an interesting piece of information--the states that were ranked as least likely to have catastrophic events like hurricanes, droughts, and so on. Second, in your post you included a number of different...

Sort of like asking "What's your favorite Keanu Reeves movie?" isn't it? 😏

For what it's worth, I read somewhere that North Dakota and Michigan are the two states that suffer the fewest natural disasters such as California and Florida have experienced in recent years. And I think the cost of living in both of them beats many other parts of the country. However, winter...

Two things: That guy said a great upheaval would occur, but he didn't--I don't think--call it the final Judgment Day that the Bible speaks of. It sounded like he was just using the word in order to say that the great calamity would come as part of God's judgment upon our society. Then again...
