    There is a wall around Heaven so do you want to live behind a wall or not? Actually, privately Mexicans would like a wall as AMLO has surprisingly declared war on the cartels and a wall would cut off their access to guns and money.

    I am sure that you and Maxine will impeach Trump for being Republican. Maxine is low IQ.

    I still think that MOX could be a solution (at least dealing with what we already have accumulated). I know it's expensive, but it produces something where as now the expense is wasted on temporary storage solutions that have to be repeated at least every 50 years.

    I think that you have been cooped up in your gated community listening to Soros and eating pancakes with Babs Streisand and you went bonkers from all the syrup, which makes you sound like just another one percenter.

    Where is President Trump being a dictator? Every time he wants to do something he says the Congress needs to pass the particular legislation and he would then sign it into law. He makes policy with the Executive powers that he has under the Constitution. All this is quite unlike the Bamster who said: "If Congress won't act, I will", and who routinely tried to use authority he did not have.

    Solar might be getting cheaper, but it just cannot fulfill the power demands that we need. Face it, here are not many solar powered airliners flying about these days. The only reason the coal companies are declaring bankruptcy is due to the anti-coal policies of your "Dear Leader" Obama. Left alone, the coal companies would still be going strong.

    Wind energy while clean does indeed have effects on the environment. Do you realize that many birds are killed by those huge blades whirling around? Plus they are unsightly, as the Kennedys certainly did not want them offshore near their playground on Cape Cod for that very reason.

    Read some time ago that wind generators in Europe are nearing end of life and they have no idea what to do with all the waste they are going to generate.

    You might be interested in this picture. This is the 170 year old Baptist Church I attended when I lived in NJ. They have installed solar panels. NJ is definitely not as good as Atlanta for solar energy but they proved them in and my current church did not include them as a part of a current building program. FBC-RB Solar Panels.jpg

    America is exporting oil for the first time in 70 years. Saudi Arabia is definitely a place where solar energy makes sence.

    The Bible does not describe exactly what Heaven will be like. It will be more magnificent than we can imagine.

    President Obama exercised the same presidential right that Trump has except Trump has signed far more.

    How many executive orders has President Trump signed?
    Updated Jul 30, 2018; Posted Jul 30, 2018
    President Trump has signed 77 executive orders since taking office in 2017, according to tracking provided by the American Presidency Project.

    Trump signed 63 executive orders from January 2017 through March 20, 2018 and an additional 14 from March 21 through June 20, the tracker shows. The executive orders cover everything from improving mental health treatment for veterans to stopping the practice of separating immigrant parents and children at the U.S. border.

    Executive orders are official legally binding mandates from the president. Executive memoranda are essentially the same, except they do not have an established process on how they are issued. Proclamations are another form of executive action and usually are for ceremonial purposes that don't carry any legal effect.

    As with all presidents, many of the executive actions deal with relatively mundane tasks, such as establishing tasks forces and proclamations that recognize holidays or special events.

    Trump has signed roughly 4.27 executive orders in each month of his presidency through June. His predecessor, Barack Obama, signed 276 executive orders in his eight years in office, or roughly 2.9 per month. George W. Bush signed 291 orders, or slightly more than 3 per month during his two terms in office.

    How many birds are killed by wind turbines versus the air pollution that is getting worse because Republicans are tearing down environmental protection laws?

    I'm still curious. As far as I go....I have two handguns (one semi-automatic and one revolver) for the range, a .22 rifle, a 270 rifle, and two 12 gauge shotguns (looking for a semi-automatic 12 gauge now).

    Do you think that too many? Which ones do you think I should not own and why?

    Do you, as a Christian, think guns are the solution? This is a matter of faith for me. I put my faith in the Lord not guns.

    The solution for what?

    Again, my list of guns - a semi-automatic pistol, a revolver, a pump shotgun, a double barrel shotgun, a .22 semi-automatic rifle, and a 270 semi-automatic rifle. I am planning on picking up a semi-automatic shotgun.

    Which ones should I not be able to own? Which ones do you believe a Christian should not own? Why?

    I went hunting with the rifles (now I go to the range).
    I enjoy going to the indoor range down the road with my wife....that is what I use the pistols for.

    The pump shotgun was originally for Turkey hunting. My son used it when he first joined the High School skeet team. Then he got a double barrel but we are looking at a semi-automatic Remington. He is not as fond of the double barrel as he thought and the pump is one more movement.

    How is this putting faith in guns?????

    So you do not believe that there will be a wall around Heaven?

    A lot of social justice warriors have signs on their homes saying no guns here and the have buttons that they wear saying that they are unarmed.
