Luke 12:1 Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
(Comment: Saints, although Donald Trump says that the military parade is not for him and his Birthday just happens to fall on the same day of the 250th anniversay the U.S Military... how can it not be as one big birthday present for him since he always wanted a grand parade like this in the past.
Critics are blasting President Donald Trump over a plan for the U.S. Army to hold a massive parade on June 14.
That date is both the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and Trump’s birthday, and the parade is ostensibly for the military and not the president.
However, Trump has long craved just such a military spectacle. He wanted one during his first term, but had to settle for a somewhat smaller-scale event instead.
And while the Army has long planned a celebration for its big birthday, The Associated Press reports that those plans didn’t include a parade until very recently. The news agency said the event “could include a Stryker battalion with two companies of Stryker vehicles, a tank battalion and two companies of tanks, an infantry battalion with Bradley vehicles, Paladin artillery vehicles, Howitzers and infantry vehicles” as well as thousands of soldiers.
The U.S. military does not typically have large parades, even for big milestones, except on rare occasions. The last major military parades in the United States of this scale may have been for the end of the Gulf War in 1991.
In addition, Trump’s parade comes as he ushers in an era of strict austerity, with major cuts across departments and throughout the federal government, including cuts to scientific research, school lunches and hunger programs.
The parade he wanted in his first term had an estimated price tag of $92 million.
Critics called out Trump for making cuts to essential services while also finding the cash for a big parade. Continue Reading
[Comment: Saints, I believe that most of us would agree that young girls do not need 30 dolls or 250 pencils. But I think the issue is that for a poor family living in poverty that even to afford one doll could be too expensive with rising prices due to tarrifs. So Donald Trumps comment is heartless and a slap in the face to those that were already struggling before the tarrifs.
President Donald Trump has announced a staggering $1 trillion defense budget, marking the largest in U.S. history, while citing “bad forces” threatening national security. The Pentagon budget jump comes amid sweeping federal spending cuts led by the Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk.
As federal agencies face crippling cuts and are forced to cut essential services, President Trump has announced he will seek a $1 trillion budget for the Pentagon, a record-setting number that would mark the highest level of U.S. defense spending since World War II. William Hartung, a senior research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, blasts the promised budget as "completely unnecessary" and says that "almost the only beneficiaries are going to be the weapons manufacturers."

2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 6Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6Aand having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
