6 Biblical Responses to Church Scandals

Bill Maher‚ host of HBO’s “Real Time‚” said during his show this week that Democrats need to consider dumping President Joe Biden at the Democratic National Convention this summer if they want to beat former President Donald Trump and maintain control of the White House. Maher’s remarks come after Biden held a press conference Thursday nigh in response to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s findings from his criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material‚ which concluded that while Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials‚” no charges should be brought. One of the top reasons that Hur argued that charges should not be brought was that Biden showed strong signs of having serious memory issues — including not remembering when his son died or when he served as vice president in the Obama administration. Hur concluded that a jury would view Biden as “a sympathetic‚ well-meaning‚ elderly man with a poor memory.” During the event‚ Biden exploded at reporters who pointed out voters’ concerns about his age and declared that he was the most qualified person in America to be president. During the event‚ Biden mixed up the presidents of Egypt and Mexico‚ forgot the name of the church where his deceased son got the rosary that he wears every day‚ and forgot key details from the special counsel’s report. Maher responded to the developments by saying‚ “I said he was going to be the Ruth Bader Ginsburg of presidential politics… He stayed too long at the fair.” “Bubbling up this week… he won’t do the Super Bowl interview‚ which is not a hard one‚ mixing up all the world leaders and then this report that came out‚” he continued‚ later adding: “Republicans are brilliant at using this. This is a little bit like the Comey letter‚ a little like the Starr report.” Maher noted that Biden has previously referred to himself as a “bridge” for Democrats to get to the next generation of leaders for their party. “He said ‘I see myself as a bridge’ that’s collapsing‚” Maher said. “‘I see myself as a bridge.’ I read that as one term. And I guess the question now is‚ is it too late? And I don’t think it is because I still think you can do it at the convention. People have said to me‚ ‘Oh‚ that’s ridiculous. They’ll look like-‘ They’ll look like nothing. Nobody gives a f— what they do at the convention.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “You can switch him out at the convention… If a guy says ‘I can’t run‚’ then you have to do it‚” Maher continued. “Then it has to be somebody else. Then it’s an open convention. We’ve had open conventions many times… They make it up as they go along anyway. It’s politics.” WATCH: Bill Maher openly calling for Democrats to swap out Biden‚ even if it's "the day before the election""I see myself as a bridge. I read that as one term. Is it too late? I don't think it is. Because I still think you can do it at the convention. No one gives a fuck what you do at… pic.twitter.com/aG4RzX8zmF — Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) February 10‚ 2024

When this dog mom decided to play hide and seek with her two pooches‚ she had no idea it would be this easy to win! In a hilarious TikTok video‚ a pet owner tested her four-legged friends to see if they could find her under a blanket. Spoilers: they couldn’t. Their confusion is especially funny when you consider that dogs are supposed to have a heightened sense of smell! First‚ the dog owner started the hide and seek challenge with her Mastiff‚ Sirius. Huddled on the floor under a blanket‚ she called out his name. Sirius passed by his owner several times without giving a second thought to the suspicious pile of blanket. Although Mom called him continuously‚ the pooch didn’t get a clue until his owner poked her head out. @thegoodhype No noses were used in the making of this video #rescuedogs #hideandseekwithdogs #fosterdogs #dogsoftiktok #germanshepherd #boerboel ♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod &; Kevin The Monkey Next‚ it was Eddy the German shepherd’s turn.

First introduced in 1945‚ the practice of adding fluoride to public water supplies has since become a common practice in many places around the world. It doesn’t come without controversy‚ however – and though unfounded‚ it’s not unusual to come across concerns about its safety. But why is it put into water in the first place? And what makes it safe to do so?What is fluoride?Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in soil‚ water‚ and air‚ having been released from rocks. Many people will be familiar with it from its use in dental care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash‚ though it can also be found in some medications and‚ on rare occasions‚ dietary supplements.Why was it first added to water?In areas where fluoride in the water supply is naturally low‚ some authorities have added it in because‚ at recommended levels‚ it can help to prevent tooth decay – that’s why it’s found in a lot of toothpastes. It does this by helping to rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel‚ the hard‚ protective outer coating on our teeth. As a result‚ consistent contact with fluoride helps to keep teeth strong and stop pesky cavities from forming.This relationship was first spotted back in the 1800s‚ and after research into fluoride’s safety in the 1930s and 40s‚ Grand Rapids‚ Michigan became the first city in the world to fluoridate its public water supply in 1945. Nearly 80 years later‚ it’s estimated that community water fluoridation helps to reduce tooth decay by 25 percent in children and adults.Case in point: a city in Ontario‚ Canada‚ stopped adding fluoride into the water supply after 50 years‚ only to end up adding it back in 5 years later when the number of children with tooth decay or requiring urgent dental care shot up by 51 percent."For decades‚ low-level public water fluoridation has proven to have a dramatic effect on the rates of tooth decay‚ particularly in children‚" UK dentist and writer on dental health matters Ollie Jupes told IFLScience."Where fluoridation has been introduced‚ there is invariably a measurable difference in the rates of decay‚ compared to non-fluoridated areas. Decay rates in fluoridated areas can reduce by up to 25 percent. Removing fluoride from the water supply is madness."Why do some people want to remove it?Though a significant body of evidence supports the conclusion that adding fluoride to public water supplies is safe‚ there’s an equally plentiful supply of myths surrounding its use. As a result‚ there have recently been calls to ban fluoridation – and in the US‚ there’s currently an ongoing court battle to decide whether the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should do so due to concerns about its potential effects on child development.However‚ according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)‚ “Scientists in the United States and around the world have studied the safety and benefits of fluoridated water for a century and have not found consistent and convincing evidence to link water fluoridation with any potential unwanted health effect other than dental fluorosis.”Dental fluorosis can occur in children when they’re overexposed to fluoride during development. However‚ it isn’t harmful to their health; it causes white‚ sometimes brown‚ speckles on the teeth. It’s why fluoride often isn’t found in toothpastes made for young children.Whilst it’s true that at high doses fluoride can present a health hazard – it’s been associated with a bone disease called skeletal fluorosis – that kind of level isn’t being added to public water supplies. In the US‚ the decision to fluoridate is down to individual states or local authorities‚ but if they choose to do so‚ there’s still a legal limit set and regulated by the EPA.The bottom line is that‚ when used at the right levels‚ fluoride in public water supplies makes for safe drinking water‚ helping to reduce tooth decay and its knock-on effects. And while there might be one court case with people aiming to ban fluoridation‚ there’s another that shows many others are hoping for the opposite.All “explainer” articles are confirmed by fact checkers to be correct at time of publishing.
