    How Mr. Trump Won

    The Dems' focus on "reproduction rights" (front and center in Maine, especially the 2nd district) appears to have backfired, thankfully.

    Map of the United States by Donors to the Two Major Party Candidates

    A lot of white in Maine, as trees rarely donate.

    The Social Gospel?

    That was their spoken excuse, as Caiaphas said in John 11:49-50 (and unknowingly, he prophesized Jesus' dying for all the children of God - vv51-52.) However, their real reason was more likely because He threatened their religious hegemony and privilege.

    Longest State Highways

    Thanks. The mileage has been changing, for whatever reasons I don't know. The sign at Fort Kent read 2,209 miles back when we lived there - 1976-85. A 2012 article in Down East magazine had the distance as 2,390, and of course Wiki has the table you posted. The Maine experience on Rt 1 is...

    Longest State Highways

    Not a state highway, but I'm guessing that Maine has the biggest share of US 1. (Unless FL has more.)

    Was there a Jack Hyles "denomination" of fundamental Baptists?

    Long ago (1982?) while visiting the pastor of Allagash Baptist Church, he played a recording of "Fresh Oil" and asked what I thought of it. My take was that the message was less about an important facet and more about Jack Hyles.

    What if church rids itself…

    Kinnelon, one town north from Boonton, named for (and by?) Mr. Kinney, who made a fortune from Sweet Caporal cigarettes. :Devilish When I was 8-11 years old, we went to a Presbyterian church in Boonton, before the Methodist church (my mother's family faith) in town. I was one year too old to...

    What if church rids itself…

    My daughter and son-in-law serve at a fundamental Baptist church (but not PB) in southern NJ. They have instrumental accompaniment and sing traditional (though some are recent) hymns and spiritual songs, and have solid Gospel preaching. Is NJ a "desert" simply because no PB churches are...

    Does a "Clean Energy" disaster loom off our coasts?

    Interesting article and not too surprising. Nitpick: The home insulation sentence doesn't ring true for me, especially in the north. If the insulating reduces consumption 20%, I doubt folks will heat their homes to 80 in winter instead of the current 68. And with energy prices rising, the...

    Transcript of RFK Jr.'s Speech Yesterday

    Not about vaccines but perhaps relevant: After a major A-fib episode in 2018 - pulse jumping between 70 and 170+ for 5 hours - I had Eliquis prescribed. The literature listed many adverse side effects, from bruising all the way to death by internal bleeding. The fine print included estimates...

    Tesla EV catches fire, spews toxic fumes

    2nd reply: On January 2, 2019, a driver pulled his SUV right in front of a tanker carrying #2 heating oil, on Route 27 in Belgrade Maine. The truck driver's avoidance response failed to avoid a collision but saved the SUV guy's life. It also caused the truck/trailer to roll on its side. The...

    Tesla EV catches fire, spews toxic fumes

    Sure they do. The difference in how far the news spreads may be related to the number of Diesels per Tesla. With millions of Diesel semis out there, crash-and-burns get local news unless there's injuries/fatalities. With hundreds (??? I don't really know how many) of Teslas, it's bigger news...

    NY Times reports a reason Christian might be better not to vote for Trump?

    I'm still puzzling over what Trump meant by that statement, assuming he had thought out a meaning. Was it: 1. A second Trump term would make things so good that the Republican nominee in 2028 would be a shoo-in? 2. Trump would then be a dictator, and we would have no vote? 3. A throwaway...

    Jack Hyles Versus John R. Rice

    Finished your bio of Dr. Rice about 10 days ago, after obtaining it when Voices of Truth visited our church in western Maine. (They sang and preached wonderfully.) The book carefully details JRR's relationship with Hyles and how Hyles changed after Dr. Rice graduated to Glory. I was also...

    Trump shot

    Even out past 1,000 yards, and some non-military extreme rifle enthusiasts are hitting targets at that distance. Often the chosen cartridge is a version of one available for hunting deer and other big game. The sniper's bullet and powder load will likely be specialized, the rifle is much...

    Voices of Truth

    Our church hosted this group, a men's quartet plus accompanist, from the Baptist College of Ministry this past Sunday, and the singing and preaching were wonderful. It was their first visit to Maine, with two more presentations in nearby churches Sunday night and tonight (Wednesday). Mostly...

    Wait! First black woman?

    I think I think Ken H's suggestion might have legs, given the current presidential race. Obviously, it would require a constitutional amendment, and extending the age-75 rule to the state level might imperil ratification. Applying the military age limit for governmental employees probably...
