      *IF God is important to you* check out His *PICTURES* ..Eden's real location is
      at Baroon Dam in Iran, they built a dam around it and this video proves it.
      czcams.com/video/WwSAHhbOHlg/video.html It was found in 2010 using Google Earth.
      The video above shows Eden's Location AND when you turn that location upside down
      it shows the Angel that guarded it.

    I was a bartender for many years and wherever I worked I always put his show on when I came on duty. He had so many fans, not only people at home with their families but also people at bars who loved watching his show, because he was such a great and fun guy to watch. R.I.P. Mr.Trebek thank you for the thirty years where you made the lives of your vast audience more enjoyable. We will always remember the fun that we all had trying to figure out the answers before the players did. You may be "Gone But Never Forgotten"... 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🇺🇸👍

      Celebrate Jesus. Not Satan's liar's. The democratic platform leads people to hell 🔥.
      Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
      Galatians 5:19‭-‬21
      The Democratic platform caters to the works of the flesh. The sin nature.
      TURN from your sins to Jesus Christ be forgiven and set free and do not support the platform of iniquity. whose father. is the father of lies.
      May God move in divine power against the platform of iniquity.
      JesUSAves 🙏🏿♥️✝️🎇🇺🇲🕊️🌌☺️
      Pray ya all. I rejoice. JESUS'IS STILL ON THE THRONE. 🙏🏿♥️✝️🎇🇺🇲🕊️🌌☺️
      God's already on the case Biden can claim victory all he desires it's going to be God that moves against him in the Democratic party not mortal man.

      *Rise up, O God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives. Blow them away like smoke. Melt them like wax in a fire. Let the wicked perish in the presence of God*
      *BUT LET THE GODLY REJOICE LET THEM DANCE IN GOD'S PRESENCE* _Let them be filled with joy. Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds_ His name is the Lord - rejoice in his presence! Father to the fatherless, defender of widows- this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. O God, when you led your people out from Egypt, when you marched through the dry wasteland, Interlude the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down rain before you, the God of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel. You sent abundant rain, O God, to refresh the weary land. There your people finally settled, and with a bountiful harvest, O God, you provided for your needy people. The Lord gives the word, and a great army brings the good news. Enemy kings and their armies flee, while the women of Israel divide the plunder. Even those who lived among the sheepfolds found treasures- doves with wings of silver and feathers of gold. The Almighty scattered the enemy kings like a blowing snowstorm on Mount Zalmon. The mountains of Bashan are majestic, with many peaks stretching high into the sky. Why do you look with envy, O rugged mountains, at Mount Zion, where God has chosen to live, where the Lord himself will live forever? Surrounded by unnumbered thousands of chariots, the Lord came from Mount Sinai into his sanctuary. When you ascended to the heights, you led a crowd of captives. You received gifts from the people, even from those who rebelled against you. Now the Lord God will live among us there. Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Interlude Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign Lord rescues us from death. But God will smash the heads of his enemies, crushing the skulls of those who love their guilty ways. The Lord says, “I will bring my enemies down from Bashan; I will bring them up from the depths of the sea. You, my people, will wash your feet in their blood, and even your dogs will get their share!” Your procession has come into view, O God- the procession of my God and King as he goes into the sanctuary. Singers are in front, musicians behind; between them are young women playing tambourines. Praise God, all you people of Israel; praise the Lord , the source of Israel’s life. Look, the little tribe of Benjamin leads the way. Then comes a great throng of rulers from Judah and all the rulers of Zebulun and Naphtali. Summon your might, O God. Display your power, O God, as you have in the past. The kings of the earth are bringing tribute to your Temple in Jerusalem. Rebuke these enemy nations- these wild animals lurking in the reeds, this herd of bulls among the weaker calves. Make them bring bars of silver in humble tribute. Scatter the nations that delight in war. Let Egypt come with gifts of precious metals ; let Ethiopia bring tribute to God. Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth. Sing praises to the Lord. Interlude Sing to the one who rides across the ancient heavens, his mighty voice thundering from the sky. Tell everyone about God’s power. His majesty shines down on Israel; his strength is mighty in the heavens. God is awesome in his sanctuary. The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!
      Psalms 68:1‭-‬35
      Jesus Christ said there is nothing hidden there will not be revealed. the battle is not ours it is the Lord's for we wrestle night against flesh and blood but against wickedness in high places the weapons of a welfare are not carnal but mighty through God for casting down strongholds. JESUS CHRIST HAS THE POWER TO CAST DOWN STRONGHOLDS TO EXPOSE THE FRAUDULENT CASTING OF BALLOTS.

      I remember the way he talked. He always sounded intelligent but somehow never condescending.
      I never thought until now how hard it is to pull that off when telling someone the correct answer to a question they got wrong.
      Even now, I can easily imagine him telling a contestant what the correct answer would have been and then quickly move on.
      I also had always wondered how well he would perform if he were a contestant on Jeopardy.

      @@robn2171 This is an oftentimes political news channel. Democrats and Republicans swarm this channel actively, mainly with a political outlook in mind.
      I'd argue that there is obviously a political interest with any video posted here, so posting the message above simply dignifies that this video transcends the worry of that. While I get your point on a base-level, Fox News viewers will probably storm this place and spam political filth in the comments regardless; those are the people who make it political, not this guy. Had this been a comment on a gaming channel, I would have agreed that a comment like this makes things unnecessarily political-or maybe this comment on an animal channel. A better analogy for you would be somebody commenting "Whether you're a lion, a monkey, or a polar bear, we can all agree this is sad" on a channel that is literally 99 percent of the time talking about individuals who are lions, monkeys, and bears. It doesn't seem so random if you actually look at the context of what and where this guy is saying this.
      And, beyond all of that, people like you who go and cry about a non-harmful comment are just sad. Seriously, go find something fun to do and stop letting silly things like this make you upset.
