Coburn: Government ‘Stole’ From Social Security Its so sad. Social security is always a hot topic these days, speaking about how it is broken, how it can not do what it was meant to do. The thing is our presidents, congressmen, have robbed it. And in doing so have robbed from every American. Social Security would be in great shape, every America could look forward to have it in their future, plus the elderly in the past, and future, could have lived better, and none of the would have to go with out their needs. Yet many professing Christians still put their faith in elected officials that have proven they cannot be trusted and none will be held accountable while they …

Clinton: No interest in job if Obama wins in 2012 40 mins ago WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday she does not want to stay in her job if President Barack Obama wins a second term in 2012. The nation's top diplomat also firmly said she neither has plans to mount another White House bid nor interest in other posts, such as vice president or defense secretary. Clinton, visiting Cairo, was asked whether she would stay on in a second Obama term. She also was asked if she would like the jobs of president, vice president or defense secretary. She offered single word responses to each: "No." Speculation about Clinton's future is always …

Obama ducks transparency award, but reason isn't clear WASHINGTON -- A coalition of open-government groups will present President Barack Obama a "sunshine" award for taking important steps toward openness and transparency in government, even though some of them are voicing concerns about gaps between his rhetoric on these issues and his administration's actions. Obama was to receive the award Wednesday in an Oval Office meeting with five open-government advocates, until the White House scrapped the presentation at the last minute. The explanation why wasn't entirely transparent. Unbelievable reward for this man.

Was Huckabee's week a stumble or a ploy? Associated Press Andrew Demillo, Associated Press – 2 hrs 37 mins ago LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Were Mike Huckabee's recent gaffes enough to doom any presidential ambitions he still harbors? A calculated play for the Republican Party's base? Somewhere in between? The former Arkansas governor, who won the Iowa caucuses in 2008 and is considering another White House run, had to walk back two widely reported comments he made in radio interviews last week during a national tour to promote his latest book. First he referred to President Barack Obama's boyhood in Kenya. It was a mistake; a spokesman said Huckabee should have said Indone…

Newt Gingrich Cheated on His Wives for America Newt Says: "I found that I felt compelled to seek God’s forgiveness. Not God’s understanding, but God’s forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts hope there’s a forgiving God. There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate."

Illinois abolishes death penalty, clears death row By CHRISTOPHER WILLS, Associated Press Christopher Wills, Associated Press – 1 hr 9 mins ago SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – For a mother who lost her son to violence, Illinois' decision to abolish the death penalty is a betrayal. But to a father who lost two daughters and a grandson, it's simply the Christian thing to do. And to a man who was sentenced to die for a crime he didn't commit, it's a civilized step that may inspire other states to halt executions. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn's signature on legislation getting rid of the death penalty provoked an extraordinary array of emotions Wednesday — almost all of them intense. …

replenish (v.) mid-14c., replenishen, "provide" with food or drink, also riches, beauty, etc., from Old French repleniss-, extended present-participle stem of replenir "to fill up," from re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix based on the notion of "fill repeatedly," thus "fill completely" (see re-), + -plenir, from Latin plenus "full" (from PIE root *pele- (1) "to fill"). Specifically as "to fill up again, restore to a former amount or condition" by 1610s. Related: Replenished; replenishing; replenishment. And here's the link to the prefix "re" https://www.etymonline.com/word/re- I'm not convinced either way. Evil did exist before man sinned, otherwise God would not have "known good and evil" and the serpent would not have been an evil entity to have tempted Eve. And "death" was a known concept, otherwise the serpent and Eve would not have discussed it. The Bible says that death passed upon Adam and Eve.. I don't recall reading where it says that animals had not yet died. I'm just curious as to what happened to all them "dinosaurs". Except for crocodilians, they were completely annihilated long ago and I don't believe any of them were on the ark, no matter what Kent Hovind says. -

Yes, I love listening to Bruce. He brought real truth to what it means to be an actual Christian. I really appreciated how he pointed out Platonic and Socrates world views in Christian religion. He's a real life-giver.
