That speech was awful. In my opinion Mister Obama thinks he is morally superior to others. He thinks that others who have some wealth need to pay their "fair share" in taxes to help others in the world. Obama has a net worth of about 12 million dollars. He makes about $400,000 per year and has his housing, medical, food, security and all travel expenses paid for. (He also has investments in the Cayman Islands.) He has had many many expensive vacations during his sojurn as President. I personally have no qualm with the 12 million dollars he has, but he has no right to continually talk about income inequality and confiscating others income to support his programs while piling up a lot of wealth for himself and living very very luxuriously. It is very hypocritical.

I read the following on the ending of the the Gospel of Mark: Most scholars, following the approach of the textual critic Bruce Metzger, believe that verses 9-20 of Mark chapter 16 were not part of the original text. Textual critics have identified two distinct endings—the "Longer Ending" (verses 9-20) and the "Shorter Ending," which appear together in six Greek manuscripts, and in dozens of Ethiopian copies. There is disagreement among scholars as to whether Mark originally stopped writing at chapter 16 verse 8—and if he did so, if it was deliberate or not—or if he continued writing an ending which is now lost. Allusions to a future meeting in Galilee between Jesus and the disciples (in Mark 14:28 and 16:7) seem to suggest that Mark intended to write beyond 16:8. Latter-Day Saints can confirm Mark 16:14-19 are confirmed to be truth in the text of Mormon 9:22-25. There is nothing in the text of Mark 16:9-20 that looks to be untrue to my examination.

Insurance companies are laughing all the way to the bank with the Affordable Health Care Act. You don't have a "government approved health insurance plan," then we are going to tax money from you and give it to the rich health insurance companies. What do the uninsured get in exchange for this? Nothing.

I agree Kapikui. I feel like a criminal flying commercially with all the intrusive security they subject people to. The Transportation Security Administration policies are just awful. I hear Israeli airport security policies they have in place are much less intrusive. We should look to how Israel handles airport security. My only bad story of airplane travel is my three year old son doing the crocodile death roll on the airport floor screaming. He had enough of flying and was tired and cranky. We were doing a flight from New York to California. I will avoid doing long travel with young kids at all costs now.

I confess the following: I play dart guns battles with my kids. I like the video game "Doctor Mario." I hate 0900 church times but love 1300 hour start time. I hate Windows 8 but like the Linux Mint 16 and Windows 7 operating systems.

I do not care if the translation of the Book of Abraham is literal or it was given by inspiration. I have studied it and the Holy Spirit has told me it is true and inspired scripture. "For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet . . ." I Nephi 19:7

I work as an Information Technology Service Desk Technician/Analyst. Internet Explorer by default seems to have a lot of security settings that block safe websites or features of websites. I usually get a few calls a day on problems with Internet Explorer caused by either the Internet Explorer software defects or security settings. I mainly use Mozilla Firefox version 30, Opera version 26, or the Safari if I am using an iPad. I try not to use Internet Explorer as I really do not like it. Edit: The company I work with uses Internet Explorer version 9.

Here is my update on my progress from January 2014 until now: 4,201 pushups 5,227 leg lifts 1,416 curls since April 1st 2014 I looked in the mirror the other day and liked the progress I have made. May I encourage all to forget the past if you are not doing well and start now to focus on the future for better health.

From my understanding Russia exports a large amount of natural gas. The price of oil per barrel has plummeted to around $57 (it was trading around $100 a year ago). This has really hurt the Russian economy.

The ruble plummeted into a free fall, losing as much as 19 percent as panic swept across Russian financial markets after a surprise interest rate increase failed to stem the run on the currency. The ruble plunged to as weak as 80.10 per dollar, a record low, before trading at 72.90 by 5:18 p.m. in Moscow, as Russians scrambled to convert their money into dollars amid concern the government will implement currency controls to slow the outflows. Bonds fell as the RTS stock index tumbled the most in almost six years. Government officials will gather to discuss the financial crisis engulfing the country.

It is very generous that they gave her a 2008 Ford Fusion. Her old car was so beat up. May the LORD give blessings to all those who helped with this act of charity.

It is true that the Twelve Apostles will assist in our judgment on that day. "The Son [of God], in turn, will call upon others to assist in the Judgment. The Twelve who were with Him in His ministry will judge the twelve tribes of Israel (see Matthew 19:28; Luke 22:30). The twelve Nephite disciples will judge the Nephite and Lamanite people (see 1 Nephi 12:9–10; Mormon 3:18–19)." Gospel Principles Manual, Chapter 46: The Final Judgment

The story of a Christmas tip given to a waitress in Branson, Missouri, has caught the attention of its community and now gone viral on social media. Little did she know, but Cindi Grady had caught the eye of a couple of regulars at the restaurant where she works, the local Cracker Barrel. Gary and Roxann Tackett, from Arkansas, had been frequenting the restaurant all summer. They say they had noticed an old, battered vehicle regularly in the parking lot. Gary thought it was abandoned because it was in such bad shape. Read more at: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending-now/tip-from-generous-couple-replaces-waitress-s-deer-battered-car-184909520.html

Man making $1,500,000,000 per year is a very wealthy income. I would make that amount in about 41,500 years at my present job on my current income. I hope people who make this much are giving others good paying jobs and benefits.

I thought the most valuable baseball card would be a Babe Ruth card. Some of the Babe Ruth cards are valued at around $30,000. In my opinion old baseball cards can be forged without a huge amount of effort. I don't think any baseball card is worth more than a $1,000.

It's the most valuable -- and arguably the most famous -- trading card in sports history. The Honus Wagner T206 tobacco trading card from 1909 has commanded prices at auction that other trading cards haven't come close to matching. But as a Forbes column points out, buyers and sellers are trading much more than the card itself. Based on past experiences, one could argue that the card carries the ability to influence the fates of those holding it.

I don't know where you are getting your information but that is simply not true at all. The United States National Deficit has increased by leaps and bounds since around the year 2006. We are currently at 17.9 trillion dollars in debt. To put those number into perspective one trillion dollars in one hundred dollar bills tightly stacked is close to about 986 miles high. Please see: http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ Under the 1913 Federal Reserve Act it is impossible to pay off the United States National Deficit. Every time the Federal Reserve prints a dollar they charge the American people more than a dollar. It is impossible to pay off the National Deficit under this system. All that can be done under the current system is slow the debt build up.

I want to see four major things happen: 1) A complete repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare) 2) Major slashes in the Federal budget to bring it to levels where the National Deficit is increasing by feet rather than by miles 3) Major tax cuts to boost the economy 4) The discontinuation of the National Security Agency spying on the American public There will need to be 66 votes in the Senate to repeal Obama's veto which he will certainly do. I do not expect anything to happen in two years until his term is over. At least Obama will likely be very limited in his agenda for the rest of his term. Everything he seems to want is moving away from capitalism.

I wish they would sing Hymn 166, Abide with Me. It's been a while since I heard it in church. The verses are below: 1. Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens. Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day. Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me! 3. I need thy presence ev’ry passing hour. What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r? Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Thru cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!

I have no problem with the Praise to the Man Hymn. It is praising Heavenly Father for a good prophet. I do have a problem with the Hymn "Sons of Michael, he approaches." I have never heard the Hymn sung before in church but I would not sing it. I think it should be removed from the Hymn book. The verses are below: 1. Rise, the ancient father greet. Bow, ye thousands, low before him; Minister before his feet. Hail the patriarch's glad reign, Spreading over sea and main. 2. Sons of Michael, 'tis his chariot Rolls its burning wheels along! Raise aloft your voices million In a torrent pow'r of song. Hail our head with music soft! Raise sweet melodies aloft! 3. Mother of our generations, Glorious by great Michael's side, Take thy children's adoration; Endless with thy seed abide. Lo! to greet thee now advance Thousands in the glorious dance! 4. Raise a chorus, sons of Michael, Like old ocean's roaring swell, Till the mighty acclamation Thru rebounding space doth tell That the ancient one doth reign In his Father's house again!

But Jesus Christ did not have a physical body yet. Have any General Authorities made commentary on Moses chapter 6 verses 64 and 65?

64 And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam, our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the water, and was brought forth out of the water. 65 And thus he was baptized, and the Spirit of God descended upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the inner man. Does this mean that Adam was carried away in the Holy Spirit and then baptized by Heavenly Father?

This makes me glad I did not join the military. I think this is an abuse of our troops. I heard these troops are getting a mere four hours of training on the ebola virus. This is not adequate. Anyone that is in these hot zones should be quarantined for 35 days before being allowed to return to the United States or any of its bases.

It appears there are more airstrikes against ISIS terrorists in Iraq. It looks like some Iraqi people are volunteer militia trying to fight against ISIS.
