Fearful US Grants China an Oil Waiver
Submitted by Steve Brown… Florida Senator Marco Rubio posted a typical whining comment on June 28th, “The Administration stopped issuing sanctions waivers for Iranian oil exports in May, yet China just received massive oil cargo from Iran. The tanker Saline, capable of carrying 1 million barrels, docked in Jianzhou bay on June 20.” To illustrate… The post Fearful US Grants China an Oil Waiver appeared first on The Duran.

Sorry Marines, The Coast Guard Has Better Sniper Teams

The P320: Sig Sauer's Answer to the Glock's Gun Dominance
*Gun News Daily* *Security, * Is it enough? *The huge difference between the Sig P320 and the Glock 19, though, is the modularity of the Sig. “Modularity” is one of those words that is in vogue at the moment, and for the majority of manufacturers and guns it seems to mean almost nothing, being just a fancy word to sell more pistols.* One of the most common questions we get asked here at GND is whether you should buy a Glock 19 or a Sig P320. Both are great guns, of course, as proven by their loyal followings, but there seems to be no real consensus on which is the best. In some... more »

The real saving grace in all this is that all that data is useless unless you have pliant human assets. That is a really tall order.

The Religion of Jesus
Humans create religions. Masters share. Jesus was a great living master who plausibly triggered the events leading to the resurrection in order to trigger the whole Jesus movement. Thus the correct role of the churches is to share his words and allow those to do their duty. Everything else is noise. Those words or the WORD have now penetrated everywhere. GOD is TAO. The WORD shows us what is good. GOD asks what is good. Jesus did one other thing. He was able to fully tap the INNER SUN and bring healing to thousands as a matter of course during his ministry. This was ... more »
Dems Are Planning to Steal the 2020 Election
