Not as simple as it sounds, though
NAB, Paul, Romans,
10:9 for if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
But he really means you have to accept the emerging Christian version of the entirety of Jewish sacred history that he and the others are preaching.
But you absolutely don't have to be a Jew.
10:12, For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, enriching all who call upon him.
13 For (Joel 3:5) "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Feed those rumors
Turns out she had been walking around for days, knowing she had pneumonia.
This is not no big deal.
Pneumonia involves destruction of lung tissue that never recovers.
Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia Friday, her doctor said on Sunday, hours after the Democratic presidential nominee abruptly left a 9/11 memorial after feeling “overheated.”
In a statement released by the Clinton campaign, Dr. Lisa Bardack said Clinton had been prescribed antibiotics and advised to rest Friday and modify her schedule.
Clinton “has been experiencing a cough related to allergies,” Burdack said, and she was diagnosed with pneumonia Friday “during follow-up evaluation of her prolonged cough.”

Liars, all
Former EPA head admits she was wrong to tell New Yorkers post-9/11 air was safe
She lied then and she's lying now.
Ever seen U-571?

Why do they market that?
A McDonald's medium mocha frappe (16 ozs) is 540 calories, some 71 grams of sugar and 22 grams of fat.
Why would you even sell that?
Substitute Splenda for sugar and use low fat milk or creamer and you can get it down to 50 or so calories with almost no sugar.
Why the hell not?
The goddam thing will give you type 2 diabetes if you haven't already got it, if you consume one a day over a year or so.
Are they f-ing crazy?
Update, 9/10/16.
Used a Hershey's recipe found online to make the wife a 12 oz mocha frappe for about 50 calories from 4 packets of Splenda on top of the fat free half and half and cocoa powder.
I thought it was tasty.
More to the point, so did the wife.

Saudi Arabia Uncovered
On Netflix, rather a surprise in view of the liberals' commitment to hiding the truth behind the smokescreen of PC propaganda about "Islamophobia."
Islam is an ideology of bloody conquest whose Mein Kampf is the Koran, just a Geert Wilders says.
As the anti-communists of the Cold War were right about the nature of Communism but wrong about what to do about it, so too are today's European and American anti-Islamists right about Islam but wrong about the riposte.
The sexual revolution is a success in America not because Americans in the pews have bought theological liberalism - modernisn, for Catholics - but because so many of them don't want the teachings of Christianity, especially its moral teachings, written into law.
In like manner, the aim, in coping with Islam, should not be converting the denominations, clergy, or believers to liberalism but getting as many as possible of the Muslim masses to be bad Muslims, as so many Americans are bad Christians.
Of course, Christians from the days of Peter and Paul denied Gentiles needed to observe the Law of Moses in their households or personal ways, and the Law of Moses was never intended to be the law of each and every nation.
As for the Kingdom of God, Christians believe divine rulership over all mankind will be established by Jesus himself when he comes again, and not before and not by anyone else.
Separation of Church and State goes deep in Christian history and theology.
In the case of Islam, the exact opposite is true.
Shariah and Islam are to the Muslim polities what the Pentateuch, the Law of Moses, was to ancient Israel.
A much tougher nut to crack.
The advance of Trumpery in Europe
Hollande sets out stall for French elections with attack on identity politics
His casual anti-Americanism is annoying, but Sarko and Le Pen are no better and wrong on the two questions.
The Burkini ban is absurd and internment in camps of people who might become Jihaders is a bad idea.
Limiting or even shutting off Muslim immigration is another matter.
No, thank you
Upon receipt of the first payment of his allowance from his aunt, Marius returns it with a note not to send more.
She does not tell Gillenormand.
She continues to send, and Marius continues to return, the allowance.
