Trump and his loyal supporters (particularly those who consider themselves Followers of Christ) ought to consider these words very carefully
Proverbs 12:17-22King James Version (KJV)
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. 21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. 22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
(in Afghanistan) a tribal council. A grand tribal council ( loya jirga ) has a legislative function in the country
This film is a very interesting, a unique view into what happens when an Australian soldier returns to Afghanistan for redemption for his part in the war.
Very little in dialogue, so one needs to just "follow" along on the journey.
The landscape is desolate, there are some areas that are beautiful (the lake scene being the only outstanding color).
According to the jacket cover on the DVD, and I quote
" Director Benjamin Gilmour and star Sam Smith filmed JIRGA under dangerous conditions close to Taliban and ISIS-controlled areas in Afghanistan, and worked with a cast of incredibly natural non-actors, including some who were former Taliban or Mujahedeen members themselves."
It is a very moving story. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

When I first set up this blog, it was part of a training that my library system required us to do with Web 2.0 training, since then I have pretty much dedicated this to sharing movies and books that I have read, enjoyed. I have been doing preschool storytimes since 1982, at my library, so have plenty of children's titles to share. Besides reading, I enjoy gardening, watching Mt Baker, music, cooking(especially Middle Eastern,Indian,Italian and Mexican dishes), birdwatching, and cats.
My love of Middle Eastern foods, and now it seems movies, is due to the fact that as child I lived in North Africa on the Sahara Desert - father was stationed at Wheelus AFB from 1959-62.
