That was me, who put that there, Hagar, laughing at you, not with you, in case you were 'valuing my opinion'. Just a hate-filled, wrong perspective, in my opinion, after making a wrong comment that President Obama wasn't a Christian, which he is. 

Well thank you Barry.  It’s nice to know I give you a little comic relief.   Here’s another meme which I find humorous.  Perhaps you will too.

Nah, he didn't say it, but it IS true, so I just went with the normal approach from the 'conservatives' on here and pretended it was so to fit my own logic. 

So Abe got it right , then.......:rofl:

Anyway, the vast majority of memes we post are making fun of you libtards heroes, NOT fake quotes.......

So hard to choose this, but these don't seem like 'Never Trumpers' or 'RINOS' to me, but then some of you are so far right and taken a blood oath to live as a Trumpite forever, that you may condemn them, too. Evangelicals not happy about this, either, except for those toadies Falwell, Jr and FBC Dallas' Jeffress.

Donald Trump allies turn on president over 'betrayal' of Kurdish allies in Syria

Donald Trump's allies have turned on the president after he took the decision to green-light an offensive by Turkish on its Kurdish allies in Syria.

President Trump apparently made the decision without consultation from his own advisers or intelligence services, who warned that it could prove to be one of the most reckless decisions of his presidency.

Mr Trump appeared focused on making good on his political pledges to bring home American troops from “ridiculous endless wars”, even at the risk of sending a troubling signal to American allies abroad.

Key Republican leaders in Congress appeared taken aback by the move, which they called a “betrayal” that could stain the US’s name.

"I want to make sure we keep our word for those who fight with us and help us," Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader, said, adding that, "If you make a commitment and somebody is fighting with you. America should keep their word."

Mr Trump defended his decision in a series of breathless tweets, writing: “I was elected on getting out of these ridiculous endless wars, where our great Military functions as a policing operation to the benefit of people who don’t even like the USA (sic).”

Senator Lindsey Graham, a top Republican ally of Mr Trump, said Congress could impose economic sanctions on Turkey and threaten its Nato membership if Ankara invaded Syria.

Mr Graham also said that Mr Trump's moves were a "disaster in the making" that would empower Isil in Syria.

The warning was echoed by the US’s partners on the ground, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which claimed yesterday their ability to contain thousands of prisoners in their detention had become severely compromised.

"We were doing our best to provide the best kind of security... but with the Turkish invasion we are forced to pull out some of our troops from the prisons and from the camps to the border to protect our people," Mustafa Bali, spokesman for the Kurdish-led SDF said.

"The Islamic State will benefit from the security vacuum that will follow, and will strengthen and regroup itself," he said, adding that it would undo years of work defeating the jihadists.

The SDF has been holding some 10,000 male Isil suspects, including an estimated 10 Britons, in prisons across north-eastern Syria, many of which fall inside Turkey’s proposed 18-mile deep, 300-mile-long buffer zone. This does not include the more than 70,000 women and children held in detention camps would could also be at risk.

The White House statement announcing the news was released shortly after a phone call between Mr Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday night.

Mr Erdogan had reportedly assured the US president that Ankara would take over the detention of Isil militants captured by the SDF. He said in a brief statement to press on Monday that he thought the numbers of Isil prisoners had been exaggerated but Turkey was ready to “remove them swiftly”, without elaborating.

Mr Trump has repeatedly asked countries working with the US-led coalition against Isil to repatriate their citizens, even threatening on numerous occasions to release them. However, the UK, France, Germany, and other allies have so far refused. 

“The United States will not hold them for what could be many years and great cost to the United States taxpayer,” a White House statement released on Sunday said. “Turkey will now be responsible for all ISIS fighters in the area captured over the past two years in the wake of the defeat of the territorial “Caliphate” by the United States.”

Coalition sources said the chance of a smooth handover from Kurdish to Turkish control was “virtually impossible”, leaving the prospect of prisoners breaking free in the chaos. 

Western diplomats told the Telegraph they too were surprised by Mr Trump’s statement, saying they had not been told in advance. They said European governments were rethinking their strategy on suspects being held in Syria.

Mr Trump’s decision to pull back from Syria was criticised by Brett McGurk, the former special presidential envoy for the global coalition to defeat Isil who quit in December over differences of opinion with the president on post-Isil US strategy.

"Donald Trump is not a Commander-in-Chief. He makes impulsive decisions with no knowledge or deliberation," Mr McGurk tweeted. "He sends military personnel into harm’s way with no backing. He blusters and then leaves our allies exposed when adversaries call his bluff or he confronts a hard phone call."

The US had for months been working with Turkey to try to create a “safe zone” along its border with northern Syria between the Turkish military and Kurdish forces which Ankara sees as terrorists.

Turkey has repeatedly criticised its slow implementation and threatened a unilateral assault, but until now the US had refused to stand aside.

"The Kurds fought with us, but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so. They have been fighting Turkey for decades," Mr Trump said in a series of irate tweets.

"Turkey, Europe, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Russia and the Kurds will now have to figure the situation out."

 

Analysts said on Monday that the US's Kurdish had been left feeling abandoned.

“For some time there is a belief in Washington that President Trump and the conventional US are two separate things. Perception is that he makes decisions without consulting his own government, advisers. Kurds and people on the ground  they have been surprised by the decision," Mutlu Civiroglu, Washington-based Kurdish Affairs analyst, told the Telegraph.

"Kurds are worried, disappointed. They put a lot of trust in the US, which is the only reason they went ahead with the security mechanism put forward by the US and they expect America to stand with them.”

So a right wing conspiracy theorist, who has theories that can be found anywhere and that can be seen coming a hundred miles away, thinks he has more right to be on a site because he is a 'free thinker' and because he supports the mighty Teneha Tigers? Sounds like someone is particularly feeling blue himself today. There, there...it will be alright. The sun will come out tomorrow, Toto.

When the laws of man run counter to God's Word, Christians follow God not man.....

Acts 5:29 English Standard Version (ESV)

29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

 

ALL of humanity will fall on their knees before God on the last day....it is unfortunate that for the vast majority....this will be too late...... YOU will fall on your knees before God eventually...... hopefully you come to believe and obey HIM, rather than place your faith in men......

While you are throwing out these "all men are doomed" verses, isn't it true to your faith in christianity, that all one has to do is repent in their heart, no matter how vile the crime and that jesus would forgive them and they could go to heaven. 

So technically, a person could have an abortion, a person could follow the laws of man, but in the end, all that person has to do is repent and truly ask for forgiveness and it will be given. I am pretty sure that is how I have read the christian bible. But please help me if that is NOT true.

That's the error that most teach.....JESUS taught that first we must hear and believe the good news that God came to live among us as one of us and died as the sacrifice for our sins.....Knowing this and believing this, we must then repent of our past sins, make a public confession of our faith in Him as the Son of God, be immersed in water to have our past sins washed away, and live faithfully unto death....anyone neglecting any part of what GOD commanded is not a Christian according to the New Testament, no matter what they call themselves......(Scripture available upon request)......

 

A person committing the murder of an innocent unborn would be committing a deliberate and willful sin......

Hebrews 10:26-27 English Standard Version (ESV)

26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.

Air pollution linked to hair loss

Air pollution can cause hair loss, new research has indicated.

 

The groundbreaking study was funded by bosses at South Korean cosmetics company Coreana Cosmetics and is said to be the first to find a link between airborne pollutants and loss of hair.

 

Researchers tested the effect of dust and fuel particles on human scalp cells and found that exposure to common pollutants reduced the levels of four proteins responsible for hair growth and hair retention.

It also suggested that those living in those living in cities are at greater risk of going bald due to the increase of airborne particles.

Experts exposed human follicle cells to different concentrations of fine dust particles and tiny diesel particles, and found decreased levels of beta-catenin, a protein involved in hair growth and the process of generation of follicles.

Three other proteins responsible for hair growth and retention - cyclin D1, cyclin E and CDK2 - were also affected.

However, lead researcher Hyuk Chul Kwok noted that further investigation was needed to support the results.

"It is possible to hypothesise that at certain levels of exposure this could lead to baldness, but further population-based research needs to be undertaken to confirm this," he suggested. "When the cells on the human scalp were exposed to common air pollutants created from burning fossil fuels, the proteins in the cells that are responsible for hair growth and hair retention were significantly reduced."

The results were revealed at the 28th European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Congress in Madrid, Spain.
