In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

QuoteWASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, hosting his first monthly Christian worship service at the Pentagon since the Iran war began, prayed Wednesday to have "every round find its mark."

Hmm something wrong with my Bible, that line seems to have been omitted from the Sermon on the Mount.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

Weird, I don't see Iran putting out statements 40+ times a day about how the war is about to be over.

I saw an article in Haaretz yesterday that Israel is stepping up its operational tempo - intensifying operations as it were - I preparation for the possibility that the US withdraws from the war early.

That was the sermon on the mount of skulls. Apocryphal

Does anyone else have a feeling that Hegseth may have misunderstood the gist of Jesus' teachings?

Of course, he's Evangelical, it's Christianity tailor made for the ignorant and stupid. There's virtually no serious theology in evangelicalism. It is all centered around charismatic imbeciles usually manipulating congregations for money.
