Aside from the Hunt family, no one seems eager for conflict. The U.S. leader's aversion to war is palpable.
However, there appears to be a glitch in Maozi's thought process. They seem to think that deploying long-range missiles near my residence is a sensible idea.
As we now know, the world was in a precarious state at that time. According to Kennedy's memoirs, humanity narrowly escaped World War III in just 60 seconds.
Thankfully, that catastrophic scenario didn't materialize. Otherwise, there would be no point in time travel, as the Earth itself would have been shattered. Even if survival were possible, it would have been a dire existence, potentially worse than in a dystopian movie. At least in those movies, there's a loyal dog by your side.
The obsession with amassing an excessive number of weapons remains puzzling. It's one thing to possess enough firepower to destroy the planet once, but planning for multiple occasions seems unnecessary—unless they're expecting to collaborate with extraterrestrials.
This Christmas, some people are praying for an economic turnaround. For those struggling to make ends meet, putting food on the table takes precedence.
Others are fervently praying for world peace, particularly hoping that the Rice Kingdom will stay out of any potential conflicts.
In reality, these concerns may be overblown. The U.S. Treasury is depleted, and there's simply no money for warfare. The cost of waging war in the United States is astronomical, especially if ground troops are involved. Ground war expenses could potentially drive the price of gold above $1,000 per ounce.
This year, God seems to be wearing multiple hats, overseeing not only the economy but also world peace. It's clear that managing capital is a necessity to address these challenges.
Generous donations have been made to churches, even revitalizing small village churches. Despite their size, these churches can be incredibly expensive to maintain.
Historically, European wealth from the exploration of the New World poured into churches. Lavish cathedrals and churches were constructed during that era. However, it was later realized that this approach hindered economic development, as funds were disproportionately allocated to religious structures.
The United States, being primarily Protestant, doesn't exhibit the same extravagance in its churches. While there are beautiful churches, the country's shorter history has limited the development of grand, historic cathedrals.
The concept of faith remains significant, and it's a topic one should approach with respect. Despite a growing trend of atheism, faith remains a vital aspect of many lives, including figures like Reagan's daughter, who not only abandoned her faith but also underwent a tubal ligation.
Every election year, candidates shower the public with displays of affection and "dog food" (public displays of affection) to garner votes. Without a suitable partner, candidates face difficulties, as family values are highly regarded.
For instance, claiming to prefer a single life immediately labels you an oddity. Critics would question your commitment and ability to lead a nation.
American electoral logic places responsibility first with the family, then society, and finally the nation. During elections, candidates must present themselves as responsible family men and women.
Christmas services in small-town churches lack elaborate programs. Under the guidance of the priest, the services tend to be meaningful, but some phrases may be baffling to outsiders. Similar to Chinese idioms, these sayings can be challenging to grasp fully.
William White's mother is of Chinese descent, and he's well-versed in Chinese culture. Using Tian dialects, he can convey nuanced meanings that are otherwise challenging to express. These idioms are like cultural references or inside jokes, enhancing communication.
While some ABCs (American-born Chinese) may struggle with these idioms, they're essential for effective communication in certain contexts. Understanding the idioms can elevate one's command of the Chinese language.
Likewise, mastering grammar isn't a straightforward measure of language proficiency. People often have individualized grammar that aligns with their regional or familial linguistic patterns. Deviating from these patterns can lead to awkward speech.
The U.S. government's reliability is a subject of debate, and many Americans ultimately place their trust in God rather than the government. This sentiment is widely shared—a consensus that God's authority surpasses that of any earthly government.
Mr. Shang may indeed be preoccupied, and it appears that the United States will continue to face challenges. As for war, it's likely that the United States won't become directly involved.
After enjoying a Christmas dinner, most of the servants went their separate ways. It was, after all, Christmas.
William White then found himself in the training room. The indulgent dinner necessitated a rigorous workout to burn off those calories. He came from a family that was inclined to gain weight, so staying fit was a priority.
While some might believe that losing an inch in height meant gaining an inch in girth, William White aimed to prove them wrong. He recognized that a healthy lifestyle would contribute to a happier life in the long run.
In his view, the life of a tycoon was characterized by indulgence in fine dining, and if he couldn't enjoy it to the fullest, the experience would be lacking. Texas, after all, was renowned for its hearty cuisine. Restricting oneself to the role of a picky eater might draw ridicule.
White Farm's proximity to Houston in Texas is advantageous, but the region's weather is quite remarkable. Tornadoes pose a threat from April to June, followed by the hurricane season from June to November. Throughout the year, good weather is a rare occurrence. William White, having no intention of challenging the forces of nature, contemplates finding a more favorable location.
"Money, money is never enough," William White quips in a self-deprecating manner. Despite his substantial assets, there's a considerable gap to fill if he intends to make a global impact. Generating such substantial funds is no easy feat.
"It seems you still need to make more money. How challenging is that?" William White grapples with sandbags, a physical expression of his frustration. If these sentiments were to be known to outsiders, it would likely elicit strong reactions.
Your money-making prowess is already remarkable; however, if making more isn't a priority, are you planning to ascend to heaven?
Exhausted from the physical exertion, William White returns to his room for a shower and a well-deserved rest. Although no one is waiting for him, he finds solace in the routine of self-care. Having honed these habits during his college years, maintaining personal hygiene is second nature.
With his current short hairstyle, a hairdryer isn't necessary. The Texan winter, while not frigid, lacks snowfall. The anticipation of Santa Claus's arrival is futile, as the sleigh would be of no use in this climate.
