Orban is a flying buttress that supports the pillar.

Slovakia just formed a new government led by russia-friendly Fico that includes a moderate breakaway wing of that party and a far right nationalist party. The Czech Republic and Romania are not far behind. 

Look like not EVERY recipient of Russian largess under the old Soviet Union is an ingrate...

The Baltic Republics - if those undersized, anemic, irrelevant states deserve to be called republics - could learn a thing or two.

Good for Slovakia.  
 

Did a Supreme Court decision change the rules for holiday displays?December 7, 2023 | by Scott Bomboy

Conclusion below.

Since Kennedy v. Bremerton, any legal challenge to religious symbolism on public property will need to be interpreted in a new light. In the wake of last year’s Supreme Court decision, there has been a general lack of nativity scene lawsuits during 2023.

Great link - 12 greenies for the 12 days of Christmas.

Thanks.  I didn't know this until I checked.  I was still under the impression that you had to entertain scenes from everyone.  Not exactly the case now.  

These are intriguing. 

The first known Nativity scene figurines are currently on display in one of Rome’s oldest basilicas.



 

The Rutherford Institute in Virginia is a somewhat conservative version of the ACLU.  They have a page on religious freedom.

If anyone is really into this, then here is an overview of important cases.  Of courses, the recent supreme court decision not included here because it's 2019.

Welcome to the board, by the way - and please: under what impression were you, as regards entertaining scenes from everyone?

4 Ways to Get Wisdom Wisdom is a capacity of the mind that allows us to understand life from God’s perspective. Throughout the book of Proverbs, Solomon encourages us to “get wisdom” (Proverbs 4:5). He says those who get wisdom love life (see 19:8); that it’s better to get wisdom than gold (see 16:16); and that those who get wisdom find life and receive favor from the Lord (see 8:32 – 35).

 Yet in Ecclesiastes 7:23–24 Solomon also makes clear that getting wisdom is a challenging process: “‘I am determined to be wise’ — but this was beyond me. Whatever exists is far off and most profound — who can discover it?”

 Fortunately, Scripture provides us instruction in this area. Here are four Biblical instructions for how to get wisdom:1. Fear GodSolomon says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (see Proverbs 9:10). But how should we fear God? Philipp Melanchthon, a collaborator of Martin Luther, discussed what it means to fear God by contrasting filial fear with servile fear. Filial fear is the type of respect and love a child has for a parent, a fear of offending the one they most adore and trust. In contrast, servile fear is the kind of fear that a prisoner has for his jailer or executioner.2. Desire WisdomThe second step to getting wisdom is to desire it with all our heart. As Solomon says, we must “look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure” (Proverbs 2:4).3. Pray for WisdomAs James tell us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you” (James 1:5).4. Study God’s WordThe fourth step in getting wisdom is studying and meditating on God’s Word (see Psalm 19:7). We shouldn’t rely merely on our own understanding, though, but lean on the wisdom and insight produced by Christians throughout the church’s history.PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY:
To get wisdom we must fear God, study his Word and prayerfully desire to understand life from God’s perspective.

From conceived by 2 parents or born into your own relatives man made reality?

When does personal consciousness become social conscience?

Why do people bond around ideology and not ancestral time living in series parallel space?
State of mind.

Geographical state of inhabiting the moment here per heartbeat experienced living by social conscience of who's who in charge of building better tomorrows than adapting in displacement as one of a kind proportionately as specifically here now.

You avoid all you were since conception by reciting facts your brain learned socially after birth. You face insubordination against your own "we the people organization" creating 7 days a week as scheduled since dawn of civilization while genetic outcomes have recessive genes from their own ancestral lineages beyond the previous 6 generation gaps lived so far.

Lets reverse the order of people lived in the whole population of this species until your specific conception. Only those that matter to your unique combination of chromosomes. 1.1 vs .0-9 balance point of simple compounding chromosomes in any form of ancestral lineages that requires conceptions since inception of the ancestral lineages in one species located by longitude time zone as displaced by latitude temperate zone daily here since conception.

you were a sum of two parents joining their reproductive cells to generate another generation gap beyond the one they arrived in, in this atmosphere day by day. You are a grandson of 4 grandparents. You are a great grandchild of 8 great grandparents as is any sibling of combined people involved over last century genetically changing population left alive any next rotation from this one.

Matter changes shape of current events that never remains what it was in any lifetime here so far. Evolving is an ongoing process leaving specific results universally positioned as what arrives next so far.

Context matters to persons disguised in vernacular tribalism pretending their brain doesn't know their own singularity living in plain sight.

I dream of having an honest conversation with another person understanding why humanity sustains absolute corruption in each reality controlling people 24/7 economically cradle to grave with the simple power of suggesting life exceeds personal time alive now.

So many themes of possibilities yet genetic outcomes aren't in sync with arriving chromosomes of each 7th son and 7th daughter born with the potential of becoming 1 of 2 parents, 1 of 4 grandparents living or deceased since becoming a mom or dad after birth and evolving beyond puberty. which your state of mind hasn't matured beyond defending who you rather be than all you were since conception.

there is that time missing time between conception to birth from your date of birth being the origin of who you say you are now justified by social consensus of your "We the people believe in ______________________ is larger than total sum population inhabiting space daily here.

Brain navigates space while adapting since displaced into your own skin adapting to living one at a time here now. The distances between spontaneously live and simultaneously living in your own skin and kin each heartbeat added since entering embryonic state womb to tomb living as a sole position cradle to grave divided by a soul's interpretation of space time continuum obeying social consensus as practiced historically so far in every society here now.

what could go wrong already has gone wrong over and over 7 days a week last 7,000 revolutions recorded on charted rotations, lunar phases, seasonal shifts, generation gaps of specific ancestral lineages in every stage of relative time theatrics played out in each New World Order reaching today's current global numbers of human biological conclusions currently alive, so far.

Insanity, Nirvana, Social Utopia, or Eternal Hell within everyone equally adapting in space daily here.

When choices matter more than the matter forms as current events evolving into never duplicated results twice adapting in series of spontaneously alive simultaneously occurring current events as planned out by rule of law.

Legislated morality, legality, ethics, economic values of each soul defending ideas life is more than time living in their own skin since conception.

Reality only maps out tomorrows charted by social consensus, clocking of rotation by longitude, and calendar of events past, current, each dawn to dawn event seasonal winter solstice to winter solstice 1460 rotations every 4 years regardless marked off in June 21 or December 21.

What events in America happen with midterms between presidential elections in recent years of 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024
Recent years: Occurred on December 22 in years like 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.Upcoming years: Will next occur on December 22 in 2027, 2031, 2035, and 2039.Frequency: It happens roughly once every four years because of leap years adjusting the calendar.

Congressional seats change. Imagine that intellectual social designed coincidence of relative time logistics.

My brain sees the connection of social behavior within this species, my own family's ancestral lineages from siblings and cousins to previous and future generation gaps existed until this rotation of the planet.

Evolving links the universe as changing details cradle to grave by heart beats still alive next rotation of the planet so far. Nobody else is honest about it in their own skin, kin, friends, families, state of mind, spirit of building better tomorrows 7 days a week.
