VIRGINIA MILLANO EVANGELISTA FABRO~RIVERA'S WILD IRISES IN THE TOWN OF RAMAPO, NEW YORK
Dovid Rosenfeld: In fact, the Sages state that we should not stare at a rainbow because it is tantamount to staring at God Himself (Talmud Hagigah 16a).

"I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple" (New International Version, Revelation 21:22 Multilingual).
DAVID HAZONY, ADAM SCOTT BELLOS: Being a Zionist today does not require aliyah. There was a time when it did, when our collective future required a critical mass of Jews moving to the homeland. It isn't the case anymore. What's needed today is not aliyah of the body, but rather – to use a term coined by Rudy Rochman – something else entirely: aliyah of the mind.
MARK LAVIE: Though no one wants to say the words, this is a regional war. On one side are Israel, the Sunni Arab states led by Saudi Arabia, and their allies in the US and Europe. On the other side are Iran, its proxies in the region, and its allies—China, Russia, and even North Korea.
Dovid Rosenfeld: In fact, the Sages state that we should not stare at a rainbow because it is tantamount to staring at God Himself (Talmud Hagigah 16a).
LINDA BORDONI: Lastly, the third attempt, he said, reveals the Devil’s true reasoning: “since the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven means the beginning of his own defeat, the Evil one wants to distract Jesus from accomplishing His mission by presenting Him a Political Messianic perspective.”
God Jesus Christ was conceived by two Persons of God (Ruach Ha'Kodesh: The Holy Spirit and El Elyon: The Most High God) and born of the Virgin Mary: The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you (Luke 1:35).

KITTREDGE CHERRY: Literally meaning “the keepers of the bed,” the eunuchs served and guarded the women in royal palaces and wealthy households. Their employers wanted to be certain that the eunuchs would not get sexually involved with the women they were supposed to protect, so many eunuchs were castrated men, homosexual men, and intersex folk. Many, but not all, were both castrated and homosexual. Eunuchs were trusted officials who often rose to senior posts in government.
REV. ELDER NANCY WILSON: He was a functional, if not physical, eunuch. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ redefined eternal life, dissociating it from the necessity to produce children.
Philip Levine: I didn’t find my voice until I was older. It was good for me to have the time to work at becoming a poet and it would be good for you, too, but by the time I was thirty-five and still didn’t have a book, I’d had enough, and I was in danger of becoming a real asshole.
Michael Cruz Kayne: Lucked out and got the seat in this Whole Foods restaurant where I can gaze up this dead pig’s asshole while I wait! Yum yum!
(((Susan))) [@shoshido]: Dude, we remember how you butchered Yoram Kaniuk’s “Adam Resurrected” to make your crappy movie. You’re not the guy to complain here.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
"The Terror you inspire and the Pride of your Heart has deceived you, O Dwellers in the Clefts of the Rock, who Occupy the Heights of the Hill, who says in his Heart, 'Who will bring me down to Earth?' Though you may rise High like the Eagle and though you set your Nest among the Stars, from there I will bring you down, declares YHVH" (Obadiah 1:3-4 Multilingual, Jeremiah 49:16 Multilingual).
Translation: "The United States of America which is called, according to The Spirit, 'In the Name of Sedom and Egypt,' where also their Lord was crucified" (Apocalypse 11:8 Multilingual).
Timofey Bordachev: In sum, the category of "international order" may soon follow "multipolarity" into conceptual obscurity. It will be talked about, invoked in speeches, and cited in academic papers – but it will no longer describe how the world truly works. We are moving into an age where power is distributed differently, where the mechanisms of control are less formalized, and where legitimacy is negotiated in real time rather than bestowed by inherited institutions.
