The Iranians aren't going to kill Trump, no matter what they say. Trump gave Iran the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is waiting to see whatvTrump gives them next.

During the Progressive Era, Progressives dominated all 3 branches of government. Upton Sinclair wrote a book about meat packing and months later Congress passed food safety laws. The Republican Party was the Left. I think a lot of elderly people need to retire first.

There were coral reefs in the time of the dinosaurs. In the Cretaceous period atmospheric CO2 was 3000 ppm (we are currently at 415 ppm) and ocean temperatures were 90°F, so coral can survive a lot of global warming.

People recognize, likely unconsciously, that they depend upon society to live. But 'society' is intangible, so culture takes its place. Questioning the culture thus threatens to destroy society.

Trump has been propped up by legacy media, owned by billionaires. The only people who believe the media lies are in the US. The US empire, OTOH, relies upon the cooperation of the rest of the world, which Trump has alienated. So another example of how Trump destroys what he touches.

The US government did in fact work with religious institutions to run various social programs, including residential schools for aboriginal peoples, which count as crimes against humanity. It was forced Christianization.

The US was founded as a slave nation, against the will of the majority (who were not allowed to vote). So there has been a long struggle to legitimize the US government in many ways; one has been to emphasize religious heritage.

Exactly. The reason Christian Zionists support Israel is that they imagine all of the Jews will be moved there and given 1 last chance to convert to Christianity, or go to Hell for eternity.

As PM Carney explained in Davos, the rules-based order was always a fiction. I would be more impressed if AOC did a critical assessment of China's approach, and how the US would fit into such an international system. We need to look forward, not backwards.

The closest Johnson can get is Leviticus's "Love your neighbor", but that follows the account of the mythical invasion of Canaan by the Israelites. Myth means "widely believed and meaningful". Santa Claus is mythical in the US.

In Acts 15 one of the rules for gentiles is that they not eat 'strangled' animals. This is an attempt to hide the original Jewish prohibition to not eat carrion, meaning non-kosher, meat.

The great fire of Rome, which Nero blamed on the Christians, happened in the summer of 64 CE. Peter was executed by Nero the following October. Why was Peter in Rome, when he was immediately arrested? Did he leave Jerusalem before Jacob was martyred? Is that why Jacob was martyred?

klbruenn.bsky.social @klbruenn.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

There are indications that the Acts of the Apostles was significantly edited before being published. The received text ends up being about Paul. But the original ending was likely the martyrdom of Jacob (James) in 62 CE.

klbruenn.bsky.social @klbruenn.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

An independent contemporary named Clement gives the facts about Peter. He came to Rome, was arrested, tried and executed. It was a very short career for the first Pope. Clement was the third Pope, if you count Peter as first, but he wrote about Peter before becoming Pope.

klbruenn.bsky.social @klbruenn.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

The Acts of the Apostles was finished around 200 CE. You can't believe anything it says about Peter. A New Testament scholar named Robert Eisenman explains why in James the Brother of Jesus. Basically, Peter is used to advocate for abandoning Torah Observance.

klbruenn.bsky.social @klbruenn.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Regarding the original Gospel of Matthew, antisemitic Christian fathers cited bits of it when they argued against it. So we know it existed, and the Church didn't maintain it. Pappas mentions both original Matthew and Mark, which was the sayings of Peter. We've lost original Mark, too. Suspicious.

klbruenn.bsky.social @klbruenn.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

You are right, the text doesn't represent the historical Jesus. As far as we can tell, he thought he was a prophet, and the Messiah, and (an avatar of?) the Son of Man (see the book of Enoch). His mission was to rewrite the Torah. He was crucified with Zealot resistors, so anti-Roman.

100

klbruenn.bsky.social @klbruenn.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Yes, the Gospels were compiled from materials written by a lot of different people after his execution. See Matthew 25:31-46 for something completely different from Christianity. The original Gospel of Matthew was lost. It was written in Hebrew and was a collection of Jesus's sayings.

klbruenn.bsky.social @klbruenn.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

BTW, there was no Christian text like the Torah when Jesus was alive, unless you count the Torah. The Bible got started around 150 CE and finished around 400 CE. The earliest Christians were Ebionite Jews, and they were concerned that the Torah wasn't properly observed due to mistranslations.

000

klbruenn.bsky.social @klbruenn.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Jesus actually defined righteousness in Jewish terms in Matthew 25. Belief is not on the list. What constitutes Christianity today was developed more than a century later. The modern 'belief' was a mistranslation of 'faith' (loyalty) that happened in the Reformation.

If you review the run up to the War of Rebellion, you see that the slave owners were doing everything to fight Abolition. They controlled the President, the Congress and SCOTUS. The response was Beecher Bibles and Bleeding Kansas. Finally Harper's Ferry.

I believe the reason wolves displace coyotes is that both species eat lots of mice and other rodents, so wolves reduce a major part of the coyote food supply.

I have read that when wolves are introduced into an area, the pronghorn population goes up because pronghorns are too small for wolves to chase, but wolves displace coyotes, who do prey upon pronghorns. The pronghorn might see the wolf as a big coyote.
