My heart goes out to that woman who has two of her beautiful daughters in prison. I don't know how she is still standing. I'd probably have had a heart attack if I was in her situation. Human suffering is human suffering. End the embargo and sanctions against Cuba and bring in diplomats to work on fair trade, travel and human rights.

Actually Jesus referred to it as a den of thieves I believe. They were selling at a huge profit animals that people could purchase for sacrifice and the money changers were also making unfair exchanges. But yes, it was within the temple and Jesus wasn't pleased. I believe this is a much different situation as these places are places of worship and fellowship, but not actually considered Holy ground like the Temple was. In addition, many churches that were established after Christs sacrifice, Christian churches, were often in peoples homes. Not established buildings. We, as Christians are now the Temple where the Holy Spirit of God dwells.

I was thinking the same thing.

Old growth trees should be left alone. Preserving land and protecting our environment should be first priority, not greed, land grabs, asserting authority and harming not only our brothers and sisters in the process, but our children and children's children. Gender is more fluid than most of us were taught and indoctrinated into. It only benefits those who want patriarchy to continue. It diminishes those who are two spirited or gender non-conforming. My prayer is that nature will become our priority and that people will not only be accepted but embraced for who we are. Unique and wonderful.

@thedebatehitman Very good references. Wasn't there tent makers and so forth. My point is that buildings are just buildings, we are the church, the bride of Christ and temples of the Holy Spirit.

Yeah, he creeped me out big time. I also have to wonder who's red stilletos are on the desk behind him.

This is what upset me when my son came out as gay. I was afraid someone would hurt him because of his sexual identity. He's the nicest, funniest and gifted person and I'm very proud of him. I was just so afraid for him and still am. I don't think he has ever really understood that.

Yeah, that gave me a laugh as well.

I started watching this video with a negative attitude, I confess. But the more I listened and learned, my attitude changed. Thank you for educating the public on the reality of this situation. The number of accidental deaths alone was an eye opener.

I see madness happening in so many countries right now. I can watch a YouTube video, but for millions of people, many of them children this nightmare is real life. The international community needs to stop turning a blind eye and come up with solutions for these humanitarian crises. God have mercy on us if we don't.

Interestingly, science aligns exactly with scripture. In addition, red meat production has not only changed to increase, but consumption has also increased. Science, medicine now know that consuming too much red meat is linked to the increased risk of colon cancer.

Wowza! In the interview that was cut short by that awful man who has been stealing from the locals and threatening anyone who would speak out against him. He started right into gaslighting the interviewer and when she wasn't having it, he pulled in his back-up team to create a distrubance putting them in a situation of stress and danger as he stood there grinning. What an absolutely evil and wicked man. He was and is able to Gaslight the farmers he's been duping out of their harvest and their part in the profits. But wasn't ready to deal with anyone with experience and education enough to know or see who he really is and the mind games he is playing with them. His accent gives him away. He's not a local, but a strong man sent in for the benefit of those who wanted to and have exploited this natural resource. Even at the end at the headquarters of the worse offending company, they sent in a big gun, big man, to intimidate two tiny young women and their colleagues. Have nothing to hide? Then why are they hiding? In addition, the government and ISIS are giving full backing to the exploitation for their cut of the profit and are protecting those who are exploiting the farmers, not protecting the farmers and businessmen of the region from being backmaled, murdered, threatened or even raped by criminal organizations and companies in the US. Very eye opening.

The system is prisons for profit. None violent offenders are just a commodity. The illness is our society that too many are drugging themselves to deal with. "Where there is no vision, the people perish". When mininum wage hasn't risen in 14 years and was also way below any standard of living before that. Opportunities out of reach or unavailable to too many in our population. What goals can one set to achieve in a society where prosperity and on the job satisfaction is only granted to the few? Many jobs with little or no benefits, treating their workers like cogs in a wheel, easily replaced who see no gains themselves when the companies they are working for are seeing record profits? You ask me what dreams, hopes and excitement for the future too many don't have. That can often lead to checking out or getting into drugs and the sales of them. Yet the well connected get theirs without a problem. But instead of fixing this bottom line issues in our society, let's build more prisons for profit for investors and the greedy as children are living on the streets and mothers are incarcerated.

Probably fantasizing about microchipping people as he strokes the red stiletto's on the shelf behind him. He creeped the F out of me.

This is very saddening. In the US many people with severe mental illnesses are living on the streets. At least that Mother at the end is providing food and shelter for her son. The UN needs to put more pressure on Saudi Arabia to part with the great wealth it has to help with the humanitarian crisis we are seeing around the globe.

Well he's dead now. I hope for all of Haiti to have safety, peace, prosperity and a stable government that will not support gangs, violence and kidnapping. Your women and children deserve a future that gives them hope.

I couldn't get through this. The Russian war criminal was infuriating me. Acting like she's some kind of a hero for "saving children" from Russian bombs. Even the way she talked about the teenager she "rescued" creeped me out and held major predator vibes. At the beginning with Putin looking at photos of children screamed human trafficking of children. I hope Putin's days are limited, these war criminals are tried and convicted and in the end, those who took part of destroying what were once vibrant, growing and beautiful cities in Ukraine are cast into the Lake of Fire in outer darkness where their shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth forever.

Did you see the red stilettos on the shelf behind him? Yeah, he's straight up creepy. I wouldn't want him tracking me on his cell phone.

Putin's war must end. There will be no victory here for him. Only death and destruction. The cup that he has mixed for the Ukrainian people, he will drink of himself.

I know gold is used for many things other than jewelry and that people have to make a living somehow. I'm just not going to purchase another piece of gold jewelry until they can make it safe to mine for people and the environment.

The rhetoric from the extreme right is getting old, overused and worn out. They haven't had an original thought or argument for years and it shows. Even though many people who have stood by trump through thick and thin will never admit that they are wrong, that he lost and he should face consequences. That is most likely a personality trait that they display in all areas of their lives. Just like trump never taking responsibility for anything or admitting that he's ever made a mistake in his life, they are of the same mindset. Those who are sensible and secure enough have walked away, some have run away in favor of our democracy over party and certainly over one awful man.

The mad red hatters and Q crazies are blaming space lasers for the wild fires out west. They don't want to hear about climate change or dry conditions. This was just a few days ago that one of them was on a rant about it.

The freezing cold conditions and sleep depravation is a form of torture. It is also used in American jails and that is before anyone has their day in court. There are a number of countries between Guatemala and the US where this woman could find a safe place to live, find employment and she already knows the language. No, I'm not anti-immigration. The better solution is for our southern neighbors to find ways to improve their economies, stability and have working, not corrupt governments.

The last guy you interviewed here is a total tool. Probably beats his wife if he even has one.

How does it align? The exact order of creation in scripture also aligns with what is found the the strata. Science and scripture are not opposed. Even after the flood stating that man's days would be 120 years is now proven, baring illness, accidents and environmental toxins, a human being is capable of living exactly 120 years. Just saying.

Child sexual predators will put themselves in places and situations to gain access to children. Churches, youth ministries, boy and girl scout leaaders, youth sports, even school crossing guards are very desirable for these monsters. Even registered sex offenders manage to fly under the radar in order to be involved with children in these settings. Background checks need to be done, but churches act like anyone so wonderful and great with children and so "Christian" must be just fine. The checks are not done. This is one situation that occured at this one camp. It's not even the tip of the iceberg. I don't feel that child sexual predators can be rehabilitated. From what I've learned they have oftentimes become even more dangerous. Murdering their victims to protect themselves from future arrests. Unfortunately too many non-violent offenders, drug users, may get longer sentences than someone who molests or rapes a child. There is something terribly wrong with that. Our prisons for profits in the US are booming business, yet these monsters can be in and out in short order. I saw first hand when a registered sex offender moved into an apartment complex that I lived at. In no time flat he was very involved in a local church and appeared to be voluteering as a crossing guard. The police came by on Halloween to make sure he wasn't passing out candy. He wasn't home, but upon his return approached a neighbor and I who were outside giddy as a school boy and proceeded to tell us that he had just been to the church's childrens Halloween party and how adorable all the children were. I wan't to either murder him or throw up or both. I did report this to the police the next time I saw an officer in our complex and the police did nothing. He should have been picked up and put back in jail with the keys thrown away immediately. My only solution to this problem is to never trust anyone with your children. Never let them out of your sight and make sure you talk to them openly from a very young age about inappropriate touching by anyone.

So much nicer than what he did to his victims. No excuse. So glad that taxpayers are no longer spending 70 thousand dollars a year or more to keep this murderer, career criminal alive.

Legalize.

I have total respect for responsible pet owners. What I have no respect for is cat hoarders. Both of the people who are feeding feral cats are also feeding ones that have not been fixed. They will breed and their will be more. I'm sure some of these high population areas smell horrid and many of these animals have and are spreading worms and other diseases.

I'm not sure that that isn't part of the goal. Prisons for profit and hospitals for profit has turned into big business. I'm sure the buying, housing (orphanages) and selling of babies would be a lucrative business as well. It has happened before in the United States. Pretty sure the so called far right wants it to happen again. With all the high and mighty talk, they still vote against anything that would actually help poor families and single mothers. Many states are acting like they own women and girls by preventing them to travel to another state to terminate a pregnancy. And the talk of restricting contraception is terrifying. The Supremely corrupt court has been overreaching now that it has such a majority vote of so called conservatives. It's not only upsetting, it's rather frightening. They've taken up the cruelty where trump left off and continue to divide our already very wounded nation.

In many states they do, at least for the prison population.

Not sure if it's going on everywhere, but these prisons for profit are exactly that. It's a money making industry and every person they get their hands on are a commodity. Once you're in the system, even when you do all of your time, being put on probation after your release is another trap to get you back. You can be taken back by doing things that other people are allowed to do. Like drink alcohol or if you miss a piss test, miss a meeting with your probation officer or are even late to a meeting. I'm sure there is more. I know this as I watched a friend's life completely destroyed by the system. A vietnam veteran who got caught smoking pot in a state where it is now legal. Unfortunately for my friend he passed away before the law changed. In addition, many southern states have insanely long sentences for first offenders of non-violent crimes. Prision rules can change on a dime and are also sometimes just a set-up for failure. Not to mention the dynamics or dangers of people who are in total control who abuse their power to abuse, torment, taunt and take advantage of whoever they may decide to target for whatever reason. Just as we are seeing here, these are sham parole hearings. They have absolutely no intention of granting parole and sit there in their high places looking down on their fellow human beings they see beneath them and shatter their hopes like it's nothing. The people on the board in this case apparently like their jobs, the pay, the job security and are allowed/required to disreguard the guidelines.

I once read, "What men are afraid of they either try to kill or control". This was in reference to how some men treat women. We see too much of it and just why they actually fear us is a question asked for good reason. In some circumstances because they can't control themselves, they try to control everyone around them and the smaller and weaker are their chosen targets. But what of the rest? Does not the Book of Proverbs refer to wisdom in the feminine? Is insecurity at play here, not enough, so they feel better about themselves if they have someone or many others to look down upon? When we feel we are enough there is no need to feel superior or above anyone. What was lost in the Garden wasn't clothing that they were suddenly missing, it was the divine within them that had to go after the fall. Even a mere breath of the Power of God who is all Holy was suddenly missing and they knew they were not enough at that moment. We are no longer seperated from the Almighty through the blood of the Lamb of God whom the Father sent and the Son sent the Holy Spirit to once again dwell within us after He departed, risen from flesh to His eternal Glory, to walk amongst them for some days, yet they didn't recognize Him in His divine body, less the scars where He'd been pierced. Not orphans, we are enough, cleaned vessels that the breath of God Above can once again dwell in. You have but to ask. Then you will be enough.

That man said he isn't one to judge character when given a verbal assurance that rent control wouldn't be challenged. And yet, he had just judged the character of the woman who was walking her dog off leash. I think what he meant to say is, "I don't judge the character of the rich and powerful even when there has been example after example of bad faith deals they've made. But for the poor, well, I can judge them all day, they are nothing in my book and should lose their homes".

Insurance companies decide to underpay or not pay for medical care as their profits sky rocket. Medicare is a joke that's not funny. Premiums go up every year and yet they keep refusing to pay providers or dramatically underpay what is owed. Private insurance, same thing. In too many cases insurance companies, not doctors are making medical decisions for patients. There needs to be reforms, more oversight and less profit for the middle man, insurance companies, in order to keep hospitals solvent.

This is one of the most disturbing things that I have ever heard about. We're only seeing just a fraction of the evil in this world. God sees it all. How long? How long will He withhold His wrath and the punishment for the wicked? The Lake of fire in outer darkness where there shall be weeping and knashing of teeth forever.

Yep, probation is just another way to get you back in the system again. Prisons for profit love it.

What men are afraid of, they either try to kill or control. The fear of women in many nations is obvious. It's unfortunate to see the one woman in a position of high power, using her position of influence to sit and gaslight the interviewer to her face. She's obviously had training in this form of manipulation. Apparently she doesn't realize that the manipulation tactics she is using, such as gaslighting is a form of sorcery or witchcraft. Pretty sure that is an offense of Islam, far worse than wearing clothing incorrectly.
