If someone is asking you why you now hold position X when you used to hold position Y and your response is that you "were paid for your opinions" when you held position Y, the obvious implication is that you were paid to hold position Y.

That’s certainly one possible implication. On the other hand, if position X, or merely the passage of time, has made available facts to someone that were not previously known and which bear on those opinions, then there is a non-“I was paid to have a specific opinion” explanation for the statement. Does he strike you as someone who would casually admit to being paid to have a specific opinion, especially to a hostile question?

In the absence of a clarifying statement, I suppose everyone can just purport to read the man’s mind based on their own presumptions.

Not sure, but who would think he was working 5 hours a day for free? I can only imagine that he was saying that he was paid for having certain opinions. I could be wrong and I hope I am....but I don't think I am.

Whether one is running a podcast, radio, or tv show, one is being paid to give their opinion or knowledge through advertising or subscription by listeners. That’s not to say that one couldn’t accept money to represent a specific opinion or position as their own, but he seems to be juxtaposing his previous career with his new positiok in government. There’s a more simple meaning than the malicious admission that you’re attributing to his words.

Not really taking a position here, but when he says he was paid for his opinions, was he not meaning he was earning income by giving his opinions on air? Not that someone was paying him to have a specific opinion?

Romans 6:10 (ESV) 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.

quote:
Hebrews 7:27 (ESV) 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

quote:
Hebrews 9:12 (ESV) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.

quote:
Hebrews 9:26 (ESV) 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

quote:
Hebrews 9:28 (ESV) 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

quote:
Hebrews 10:10 (ESV) 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

quote:
1 Peter 3:18 (ESV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,

The Bible says repeatedly that Christ died once for all and is now seated at the right hand of God (Col. 3:1). He is not subject to being called down and sacrificed again and again by Roman Catholic priests (imagine the audacity). Put your faith in Christ alone, not his imagined presence in a piece of bread.

“Appreciate the heart behind this, but let’s not be naïve,” Hutchins wrote. “Loving our neighbors doesn’t mean turning off discernment. We can show respect and kindness without pretending every worldview is the same.”

They are offended by the notion that there is objective truth and the rejection of relativism. The suggestion that Islam’s worldview might be less valid implies that there might be a more valid worldview. Which worldview might be the most valid? There was a man who was crucified, buried for three days and brought back to life. We’re celebrating his birth next week. That man claimed to the be the exclusive way to God. People who reject him tend to hate being reminded of him or of the reality of objective truth.

John 14:6 (ESV)
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

You could get a portable generator in the 15,000 watt range and have a transfer switch/inlet installed for, I’d guess, $2,000-2,500 or so total. That would let you feed your house, keeps lights on, fridge/freezers cold, run the well pump/septic aerator (if you have those) and run a window ac or space heater or two in some limited spaces in your house for comfort. You don’t have to drop the money to run your entire house without interruption and you don’t have to suffer extended power losses during hurricanes and such either. There is some middle ground.

Sam’s has the benefit of scan and go, seeing in store pricing on the app, order pickup, and the like. Costco does have some better products but the shopping experience can be a lot better at Sam’s when you don’t have to check out through a register.

I get the privacy concern. Competing considerations include whether you would like to be able to make verbal comments about what you are seeing that may not have been caught on camera (calling out license plate/vehicle info in case you forget before you can write it down), capturing conversations you have with people near your car, proving that you were not looking at your phone, etc.

I don’t have either, but videos that YouTube serves up for me include a guy that buys high end watches and he always mentions whether the seller brought the original box or not for Rolexes and such. Might make a difference on price you get if that’s your potential market.

Absolute ownership does not exist under current law.

Like all other borders, they are only as good as your ability to enforce them. If you have the might to eject or repel any agent of the US, then you have absolute ownership/possession and no one can enforce anything on you. Otherwise, if you bought that property within the US, you understood the situation into which you were entering. There’s plenty of other patches of land on earth that you could have sought, but these patches of land within the US come with certain benefits that make the downsides an acceptable trade off.
