Well, the Supreme Court has done it again. They have outlawed a scholarship student from pursuing a degree in divinity.

Now, how long can a Nation survive when the Supreme Courts keep separating our Nation from God?

I say, not long. Our Nation is headed down the tubes at an ever increasing rate.

Huh. No, the Supreme Court indicated that states may choose to restrict tax-funded scholarships to students that are pursuing degrees other than divinity. The program in question was specifically designed to train clergy.

How long can a board survive when the trolls are out in force?

The country is going south rapidly because the administration in the White House is busy destroying civil liberties, privacy, and the separation of church and state while a spineless congress whimpers and begs to be his doormat.

The boy has since gone to Law school. Personally, I think there are too many lawyers and I don't want my government's money going to fund their education.

As for there being trolls out in force, it's because the stinking goats keep crossing our bridge.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
