As I was reading through Project 2025, I was struck by how familiar some of it seemed. I did my own digging and found some ties to traditional Catholicism (as opposed to modern day Catholics,, who pick and choose). Further digging turned up just how Catholic our Supreme Court is. All of the Conservative justices are active Catholics or were raised Catholic, one liberal justice is Catholic. I am not a practicing Catholic, I have no ill will towards the Church, I just don't think those teachings, should influence our government. less

First, the two seats next to the door plug that blew out on the Alaska Airlines plane were unoccupied at a time when most planes are jam packed. Second, an iPhone fell 16,000 feet from that plane and the screen remained intact. Need more proof?

He even went further and said that “Jesus and God would declare him a winner now”. He also said “I think if you had a real election and Jesus came down and God came down and said - I’m gonna be the scorekeeper here. I think we’d win in California, I think we’d win in Illinois, and I think we’d win in New York.”
I think if God and Jesus kept score and told Trump he lost Trump wouldn’t except it. And then he would start bad mouthing Jesus and God and call them the radical deranged left and point to Jesus and say – you’re corrupt it’s no wonder why Judas turned you in. Cheers!

It doesn’t really look like we’ve been having world peace for the last 123 years.I see two obvious questions right away. First, I have absolutely no idea how people even get that out of the Bible. I’ve read it and I would never come up with that in a million years.Second, if it’s true, what happened on 1 December 1900 at 14:40 GMT? How did we miss Judgement Day?If you project back the dates of the events in the Bible, the first day of Creation would have been 20 October 4101 BCE at 16:00 GMT. One year is 365 days, 5 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds so when I add those two together, I get 1 December 1900 at 14:40 GMT. less
