  How they behave often comes down to individuals and the attitudes in the local congregation.

  Sounds like she has some hard-core relatives, so they may put pressure on her to only associate with other believers.

  The Stupidity Of The Biden Administration Knows No Bounds

  so picture this, you are suddenly withdrawing troops after 2 decades in a country and, well, its all gone to shit.. how do you ensure that your vulnerable citizens and allies can get out when the airport is surrounded and no one can get through?.

  option 1: it's a trick question surely?

  you don't get yourself into this mess in the first place - you withdraw the citizens first, not last, duh!.

  So the latest snafu, that even CNN appear to have picked up on, is that the Biden administration, who couldn't foresee the Taliban takeover of Kabul with 20 years notice somehow managed to identify the suicide bomb maker and drone-strike his house within 24 hours of the attack.

  Hmmn?

  Really?

  One minute the intelligence is so piss-poor they can't see the bleedin' obvious as tens of thousands of armed militants advance, or realize what would happen if the withdraw troops and abandon an airbase prior to extracting civilians, and the next they can suddenly use telepathy to identify people at the drop of a hat?

  Or could they?

  Of course they just launched a drone strike against any house, it didn't matter which, simply to distract from the bad news for Biden. But it turned out to be a house with women and kids in and they blew a half-dozen toddlers to kingdom come, the youngest being a 2 year old girl, all so Biden could try to save face on TV and look like he's "doing something" and "in command".

  What an evil incompetent asswipe. Hope he falls head first down the steps of Airforce 1 and breaks his dumb racist corrupt neck live on TV.

  Dump the body in a ditch, it's all he deserves.

  great news.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58309254.

  pfizer's two-dose covid-19 vaccine has received full approval from the us food and drug administration (fda) - the first jab to be licensed in the nation.. .

  the vaccine had initially been given emergency use authorisation.

  All drugs on the market have been thoroughly tested and are totally safe. That's why drugs are never withdrawn and there are never any warnings on the label or disclaimers on the adverts that it "may cause loss of scalp or penis".

  As for mandating vaccinations or banning unvaccinated people from places. Both of these are and should remain illegal unless there is definite risk such as people working with sick people who do not themselves have the option of being vaccinated for medical reasons.

  Trying to force people to be vaccinated will not make people want to be vaccinated, in fact the opposite would likely occur. I am vaccinated, but if the government was going to force me I would refuse and kill anyone who tried to make me.

  Part of this is due to lack of trust ("why are they trying to force me?") and part is due to realizing that it is a slippery slope when it comes to valuable freedoms.

  We are in this mess because of government lies. They don't get to now take away more freedoms to cover up their previous balls-ups.

  At a simple level - how are unvaccinated people putting vaccinated people at risk, if vaccines work so well?

  Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

  sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

  they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

  although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

  I wonder who ...

  It's one of the "zealous democrat" types, a true believer of their righteous cause (whatever the evidence), who will not bear to hear blasphemy against their chosen messiah.

  Just going off their other posts and votes ...

  Maybe I should show the names of who liked / disliked thing, like facebook?

  Ultimate Axion: you don't get to do the propagandizing bit twice. This was all Biden's doing. It's completely on him.

  It's nothing at all to do with whether you withdraw troops or not, it's the manner that you do it. Biden mis-managed that all on his own.

  He probably thought it was planning a trip to the ice-cream store, so he made it "right away, this afternoon!"

  Three and a half more years of Biden ...

  how is the biden administration doing so far?.

  biden reversed trump's plans for the border wall, and now america has thousands of illegal immigrants entering from mexico.. strangely, biden didn't reverse trump's plans for withdrawal from afghanistan, and instead pressed ahead with his own brand of lunacy, literally running away from afghanistan and abandoning its people to the taliban.. what is it with biden?

  is he senile or just incompetent?

  yeah, the number of people who need to be offed before you get to someone vaguely competent is scary.

  Truth is, all US Administrations from Bush to Biden have been dismal failures in Afghanistan for the simple reason they have not addressed the fundamental reason the Afghan Army proved so useless – corruption!

  I notice you used a headline with "Trump" in it in a typical but lame attempt to try to give the impression that Trump caused this, yet Trump did a phenomenal job on foreign policy. Seriously, what he did in his term was above reproach - all you can think of is fake news that never happened.

  This was all on Biden.

  They withdrew and gave away their heavily defended, easy-to-secure Bagram airbase and "kept" the domestic airport that is slap bang in the middle of Kabul, easier to surround and difficult to secure.

  It's just blithering idiocy. You don't even have to have military experience to know it was profoundly dumb to the point that no one would chose that ... only an idiot would command it.
