The overturn of the reasonable and longstanding Chevron deference does not mean agency interpretations of policy is unconstitutional. It means it becomes open to judicial review. Until this is restored every agency policy decision involving science, medicine, military, education and finance can be overruled by activist judges. -

Tell me, why didn’t you go to the actual source. The Unites States Department of Defense?
Apparently, you did not bother to read the links. All of them in fact direct readers to the DOD directive. It is discussed in historical context and it's purpose and role.
“The provisions in DoDD 5240.01 are not new, and do not authorize the Secretary of Defense to use lethal force against U.S. citizens, contrary to rumors and rhetoric circulating on social media,” Sue Gough, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense, told VERIFY.
"Department of Defense directives are not laws or executive orders – they are policy statements. In other words, these directives can’t make something legal if it isn’t authorized under federal law or by the Constitution." Nunn and Goitein of the Brennan Center for Justice explained.

by Striker injude 1:9 (kjv) yet michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, the lord rebuke thee.. matthew 4:10 (kjv) then saith jesus unto him, get thee hence, satan: for it is written, thou shalt worship the lord thy god, and him only shalt thou serve.
.
.....my understanding is that you all believe jesus is michael the archangel....... the two verses above describe two different personalities..... the archangel in jude rebuked satan in the name of the father, because he knew it was not his place to rebuke him, he knew that he didn't have the authority to do so, that the only person who possesses this authority is god himself.... while jesus, in matthew 4:10, does not need to invoke the name of the father to rebuke satan, because the father and jesus are one, not michael and jesus..... .... because michael the archangel is not jesus christ our savior.....

The book of Job, doesn't know of the name Yahweh, Michael or angels. The sole exception is Job 4:18 where the word 'angels' is likely substituted for 'sons'. It appears in the LXX Greek forms and the MT but unfortunately, we do not have witnesses from Qumran of this verse.

Duran, Any response to my post? The Hebrews text applies the passage addressed to Yahweh to Jesus. Is the author being dishonest with the text or did he genuinely understand Jesus as Yahweh?

For comparison 4Q44 actually reads:
43 Rejoice, heavens, with his people,
and bow down to him, all gods,(divine ones) for he will avenge the blood of his sons.It is often regarded as the volage, the source text, for the LXX. We can see now the LXX insertion of another line referencing angels in an attempt to redefine the 'divine sons' as angels. We can also see in this early 4Q44 form the use of 'sons' rather than "servants' as appears in the MT and SP. This looks back at the line above it. Thereby redefining the sons as humans, Israelites.
IOW there have been multiple attempts to rehabilitate the text. In the end, the edits contributed to a new Christology which ironically almost mirrored the original polytheistic form.
The Samaritan Pentateuch edits evens more aggressively, dropping the whole line:
Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

He's told the press that he has a personal trainer and gets testosterone injections, (aka steroids). This is stupid. Taking testosterone injections /pills without medical necessity increases serious health risks.
Treating normal aging with testosterone therapy is not advisable. If you don't have a medical condition that's contributing to your decline in testosterone levels, your doctor might suggest natural ways to boost testosterone, such as losing weight and increasing muscle mass through resistance exercise.Testosterone therapy: Potential benefits and risks as you age - Mayo Clinic
Testosterone therapy has various risks, including:
- Worsening sleep apnea — a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.
- Causing acne or other skin reactions.
- Stimulating noncancerous growth of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and growth of existing prostate cancer.
- Enlarging breasts.
- Limiting sperm production or causing testicles to shrink.
- Stimulating too much red blood cell production, which contributes to the increased risk of forming a blood clot. A clot could break loose, travel through your bloodstream and lodge in your lungs, blocking blood flow (pulmonary embolism).
Also, some research shows that testosterone therapy can increase your risk of heart disease.

If the people of Wisconsin are paying attention their Democrat Governor has done a tremendous job balancing the budget and even lowering property taxes. Unfortunately, there is so much misinformation and spin I doubt the facts matter to half the population.

Comparing LXX translations (Tigray's, Wever's and Benton') suggests variants in the Greek versions.
Tigray's translation:
"O heavens, rejoice with Him Bow to Him, all sons of the divine. 22 O nations, rejoice with His people And let all angels of the divine strengthen themselves in Him."
Wever's (NETS) translation:
Be glad oh skies with him and let all the divine sons do obeisance to him. Be glad oh nations with his people and let all the angels of God prevail for him.
Now note the changes reflected in Brenton's.
Brenton's translation: Rejoice, ye heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice ye Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him;
I don't wish to spend too much time on this but the writer of Hebrews either only had at his disposal (or chose the reading) that now is reflected in the Brenton translation. All of this betrays the discomfort some had with this section of Deuteronomy. It seems apparent also that 'sons of God' in verse 43 (as well as vs 8) caused discomfort. Various parallel attempts were made to reinterpret the expression as referring to Israelites or angels.
