A quotation from Lincoln

To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy, and from positive enmity, among strangers, as nations, or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1859-09-30), Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, Milwaukee

A quotation from Bill Watterson

   CALVIN: I’m writing a fund-raising letter. The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy. Then you explain how they’re systematically working to destroy everything you hold dear. It’s a War of Values! Rational discussion is hopeless! Compromise is unthinkable! Our only hope is well-funded antagonism, so we need your money to keep up the fight!
   HOBBES: How cynically unconstructive.
   CALVIN: Enmity sells.

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1995-07-07)

„Israel said on June 13 that it carried out strikes in Iran, a day before talks between the Islamic Republic & the US about Tehran’s escalating uranium enrichment programme (…).
This marks the latest #escalation since the war in Gaza began in 2023 & heightens fears of an all-out war between the two countries, whose history of #enmity spans decades of clandestine conflicts & includes land, sea, air & cyber attacks.“

“I don’t believe we have the legal authority to stop an authorized payment certified by an agency,” he wrote to the group on Jan 24. #DavidLebryk, who had been a federal employee for >35 years, was pushed out of his job days later for refusing to give Krause access to the system. Late on Jan. 31, a Friday, #ScottBessent authorized entry for a team led by Krause after Lebryk’s departure.

The possibility of systems at the #Treasury’s little-known Bureau of the Fiscal Service being used to stop congressionally authorized spending has stoked alarm among #Democrats, who have called for investigations & led protests at the Treasury building.

#DavidLebryk, formerly the top career official at the Treasury, rebuffed the request to grant access & pause the #aid payments.

The emails viewed by NYT undercut #Treasury’s explanation for why Krause & his team were given access to the payment system. That system disburses >$5T in funding on behalf of much of the federal govt.

The department, now led by Secy #ScottBessent, has said that Krause, a Treasury staff member, & his team are conducting an “operational efficiency assessment” that does not involve blocking agency payments.

In a Jan 24 email to a small group of #Treasury ofcls, the chief of staff, #DanKatz, wrote that Krause & his team needed access to the system so they could pause #USAID payments & comply w/ #Trump’s Jan 20 #ExecutiveOrder to halt #ForeignAid.

“To the extent permitted by #law, we would like to implement the pause as soon as possible in order to ensure that we are doing our role to comply with the EO,” Katz wrote.

Ga 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Ga 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, {1 } parties, {1) Gr heresies }
Ga 5:21 envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I {1 } forewarn you, even as I did {1 } forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. {1) Or tell you plainly }

Eph 4:19 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, {1 } to work all uncleanness with {2 } greediness. {1) Or to make a trade of 2) Or covetousness; Compare Eph 5:3 Col 3:5 }

Eph 5:3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

Eph 5:5 “ For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.”

1Ti 1:10 for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the {1 } sound {2 } doctrine; {1) Gr healthful; 2) Or teaching }

Heb 12:16 {1 } lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. {1) Or whether }

Ac 20:32 And now I commend you to {1 } God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you the inheritance among all them that are sanctified. {1) Some ancient authorities read the Lord }

Ro 8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the {1 } deeds of the body, ye shall live. {1) Gr doings }

Ro 13:13 Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

Col 2:11 in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
