The television series portrays a specialized FBI team dedicated to investigating missing persons and kidnapping cases. While the show likely takes creative liberties with its narrative, it offers a glimpse into the complex world of law enforcement’s search and rescue operations. In reality, such units probably manage multiple challenging investigations simultaneously, potentially juggling a dozen active cases at any given moment, each representing a critical mission to reunite families and bring resolution to desperate situations.

In quiet moments of reflection, I ponder the profound theological promise of the rapture—a divine event where believers will be lifted heavenward, united with Christ in eternal communion, transcending earthly concerns and embracing celestial peace.

Given the increased workload and potential staff reductions, they might experience heightened challenges in managing investigations, potentially leading to significant operational stress and widespread concern among personnel.

I am glad I won’t be here to see it. It might be a good reason to be one of those who have accepted Jesus as your Savior now, before it’s too late. It would be a horrible thing to find out it’s already too late. If it should happen that the missing persons unit has about ten times the workload, you will know it’s too late, even if you are an upstanding member of a respected church, even if you have been baptized.

By observing closely, you’ll recognize those who genuinely shared a deep relationship with Christ – they will be amoung those who mysteriously vanish without a trace.

In countless crime dramas, a familiar scene unfolds: a character stumbles upon an injured individual, pauses briefly, then urgently shouts, “Someone call 911!” This trope has become so ubiquitous that it’s practically a television cliché, especially in police procedurals like Blue Bloods, where such moments are almost a narrative staple.

If someone discovers me injured, I urge them to directly contact emergency services. Immediate action reduces response time and guarantees that help is summoned. By taking personal responsibility, bystanders can prevent the diffusion of responsibility, where everyone assumes someone else will make the call. This approach also minimizes redundant emergency dispatches, streamlining communication and reducing potential confusion at the response center.

International economic relations are nuanced and multifaceted, extending far beyond simplistic perceptions of conflict. Collaborative efforts like the joint European development of Airbus demonstrate how nations can strategically partner in high-technology industries. Unlike the United States, where aerospace innovation relies primarily on private sector investment, European governments actively support and fund aerospace research and manufacturing.

There is another problem American manufacturers must face: when foreign countries do not allow the sales of American products in their markets. Sorta hard to compete when we are not allowed to compete.

Throughout history, strategic economic manipulation has posed significant challenges to global trade. Nations have employed tactics like predatory pricing to undermine domestic industries, as exemplified by China’s approach to steel and aluminum production. By flooding markets with artificially low-priced metals, foreign producers can effectively dismantle local manufacturing capabilities. Once domestic production ceases, these countries can then leverage their market dominance, potentially dictating prices and availability during critical national needs, such as aerospace manufacturing. This economic strategy transforms a seemingly competitive market into a potential strategic vulnerability, where a single nation can exert substantial economic pressure by controlling essential industrial resources.

National security demands strategic self-sufficiency in critical manufacturing and industrial sectors. We cannot afford to depend on foreign nations, particularly those with potentially competing geopolitical interests, for essential materials like steel used in defense infrastructure. Our national strategy must prioritize domestic production capabilities that ensure we can manufacture key resources independently, maintaining a robust and resilient industrial base that can meet our strategic needs during any potential global disruption.

Are we prepared to risk the collapse of Boeing, potentially leaving the global aviation market entirely dependent on Airbus? The implications of losing a critical American aerospace manufacturer could have far-reaching consequences for our industrial infrastructure, technological innovation, and economic competitiveness.

Discover a big chunk of gold up there in one of those craters.

Well I suppose that’s true for any of half a dozen other elements, minerals or who knows what all.

Then, too, would they line up for trips to mars if they find the yellow stuff up there?

On the other hand, the investments might be in AI robots.

You think I kid you? Look at the 49ers. Look at the risks they took in the Yukon and the number that died on their way there. Then too, many take big risks to find it today.

On the other hand, I don’t think there will be any shortage of it in Heaven.

Every person who draws Social Security fraudulently keeps a person from drawing Social Security steals it from someone who needs it and deserves it in the future.

It is a fact, to save Social Security for tomorrow, we need to protect it from thievery today.

Slim Chicken on Getwell in Southaven, MS. Besides all the regular wings and things they do well, they make a wonderful dish of mac and chicken and cheese. Never seen or eaten anything like it anywhere else.

One of the best parts is that it is not far from my wife’s physical therapist, who we will be visiting once a week for a while. Incidentally, we will also be visiting visiting Slim Chicken once a week too.

The woman was not hit by a ball hit by a transgender.

That ball that hit that woman was hit by a full grown man in the height of his physical strength after years if physical training.

No other way to look at it and the record should show it. Moreover, if she sued the man for assault, she does stand a chance of winning. Maybe a few lawsuits would accomplish what the Congress won’t.

I watched the entire State of the Union speech tonight. I must admit, President Trump put one thing in very few words that I have been having very little success in many.

Allow me to paraphrase it: Biden and the Democrats have been saying that they needed new laws to close the border. Trump proved all that was needed another president. President Trump not only said it but proved it in not much more than a month. The statements by Old Joe and the dems is now officially proved a lie.

It has become CASUAL TO THE MOST OBVIOUS OBSERVER!

As an afterthought, now that the dems no longer control Congress, maybe a few laws could be passed to help President Trump deport the ones who are here, WHICH would help the country.

Finally, I do like that he declared English as our official language. Now if only Congress would codify it. Not only better for the country but also for legal immigrants.
