LET’S POINT FINGERS BUT NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS…


The modus operandi of the professional politicians occupying the desks in Washington are adept at finger-pointing but inept at fixing problems.  Blame the other party or the opponent, and all is well in their minds.  After all, we, the people, the peons, the unlearned, the uninformed, should be grateful for their occasional offerings thrown our way. 

When I hear the Left blaming the Right for the problems with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, I am stunned that so many believe them.  If we were to pause and consider the actions of the political elitists in Washington, we would quickly realize that fixing the problem is not the intent but finding plausible ways to blame someone else.  They are focused on Power and Control, not doing our bidding.

All of us who have paid into the Social Security System know that we are looking down the barrel of the loaded gun of cuts in our benefits.  The mismanagement of funds is the blame; those on fixed incomes will pay the price for their ineptitude.  The anticipated date of those cuts is 2034, just 11 short years down the road.  I will be in my upper 80s at that time.  I will likely be unable to actually engage in employment that would produce the needed additional income, so I am preparing for the future the best I am able.

Blaming the Right for the cuts and the disaster in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is ludicrous.  If you take just a moment and reflect on the reality that through the efforts of the Left and this administration, they are shoring up the retirement system of the Ukrainian pensioners to the tune of a 20% raise in 2023.  The Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said, “As early as March, the government will index pensions by 20% for about 10 million Ukrainians.”  That is based on the funds sent to Ukraine by the Biden administration.  

Americans are looking at dramatic and austere belt-tightening for Social Security recipients in the future. Still, the government is working to ensure that other countries do not endure the same dilemma.  How is that for America first?  We have spent more than $100 Billion to aid Ukraine but engage in finger-pointing and trashing anyone wanting more money to stay home to take care of our own first. 

I believe in benevolence whenever possible, but it should be done in the right way and through the right venues.  The federal government appears to care more about citizens of other nations than Americans is not the right way!  All politicians engaging in such actions should face the real danger of not being reelected.  Instead, they are awarded additional terms to do further damage.  Rather than place the blame at the feet of the guilty, the finger-pointing facilitates the expanding divide in this nation, and we continue to plunge toward oblivion.

The Congressional Budget Office, in their 2022 report, stated: “…if Social Security outlays were limited to what is payable from annual revenues after the trust funds’ exhaustion in 2033, Social Security benefits would be about 23 percent smaller than the scheduled benefits in 2034.”  Wow!  We are taking measures to ensure the Ukrainians will get a raise in their pensions and leaving Americans who paid into Social Security holding the bag with austere cuts. 

I suspect that the CBO’s report is rosier than reality affords.  Social Security benefits come from payroll taxes and the Social Security’s trust fund “assets.”  That entire system was destroyed under Lyndon B. Johnson and continues to plunge toward extinction.  Maybe that is part of the plan to place us at the mercy of the federal government for our subsistence and thereby under their control. 

Either way, this is telling of the hypocrisy of the professional career politicians who have a secure retirement system.  They take care of themselves and other nations, but Americans are not on their list of priorities.   Our only value to them is our vote, and until they can figure out how to eliminate that, too, we have limited value.

Yes, Social Security is a government Ponzi scheme! Those of us who paid into the system expected to receive a reasonable return on our forced investment.  We know it is a government boondoggle and a terrible investment, but we had few other options.  Politicians know that if they act, the voters will respond, and their careers will be in danger.  Therefore, they have kicked the can down the road so long that the bill will soon become due, and there will be no way to avoid the dire measures that must be taken.

However, I think that virtually all Americans would agree that we should not be paying billions of dollars that we do not have to bolster up the infrastructure and social support for Ukraine or any other nation before taking care of our people’s needs. 

A recent report indicated that about 14 million will be dropped from Medicaid under the enacted new rules.  As of this date, there are approximately 84 million on Medicaid.  It has grown by about 20 million since January 2020.  At the beginning of COVID-19, the federal government stepped in to prevent states from taking people off Medicaid, even if they were no longer eligible.  Making too much money did not disqualify them.  If they gained healthcare coverage through an employer that did not disqualify them.  They were still on the rolls if they moved to a new state.

Just like purging the voter rolls of ineligible people, Medicaid should also do so.  Our ineptitude in handling the fiscal needs of government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and a plethora of entitlements being paid has brought us to this point.  We could have avoided much of it and averted the pain millions will feel, but politicians played politics rather than governing as mandated by the Constitution.

Couple the government’s mishandling of Medicare and Medicaid, take a peek at Biden’s H.R. 5376, and realize that it is a nightmare for retirement savers.  Biden’s campaign slogan, BBB – Build Back Better, is a joke of epic proportions.  Build what and where should be the question.  That bill was guaranteed to increase inflation.  Imagine that a bill titled “Inflation Reduction Act” is guaranteed to Increase, not decrease, inflation.  They knew it, they know it, and they want it.

The federal government has been printing fiat money for decades since the withdrawal from the ‘gold standard.’  That will not stop even though it is worthless paper backed by nothing.  Should our debt be called in or the world eliminates the Dollar from the standard, millions would find themselves destitute overnight.  Unless you are in possession of precious metals or have other trading commodities, you will face the dire conditions of Germany in the 1930s. 

If they destroy the money and make us totally dependent on the federal government, they will have the desired TOTAL CONTROL they have long sought.  America, we are in a mess and may be too far down the road to fix the problem.  My faith is not in government but in God.  I have preached for decades that there would come a time in America when God’s people had to trust Him totally again.  I believe we are there! 

We can’t fix this problem at the polls; we fix it on our knees.  We need divine intervention from heaven, a return to the Bible, moral rightness, and a restoration of ethics.  We need to become We The People, not We the Sheep.  It is time to think for ourselves and stand for what we believe.  God help us if we fail.

God bless you, and God bless America!

IS LUNACY THE NEW NORMAL?


That question is not meant to disparage those suffering from mental disorders; it is a question regarding what is happening politically, economically, socially, and morally in America!  I keep thinking that things could not get any crazier, but politicians will do something to cause me to realize just how wrong I was.  They no longer do things under cover of darkness; they operate in plain sight fearlessly.  That is the basis of my question, “Is Lunacy the New Normal?”

In the GOP response to the State of the Union Address by Joe Biden, Sarah Huckabee Sanders made a succulent point, “The choice is between normal and crazy?”  When the federal government and its agencies of the government openly defy constitutional restraints, that poses a danger to the Republic.  We are in troubled waters when this administration can openly allow millions to illegally enter the country and blatantly lie, insisting the borders are secure.  We are in deep darkness when the government is more focused on protecting the criminals than the victims.  Thus, my question is, “Is Lunacy the New Normal?”

The followers of the “Woke” ideology and those pursuing the agenda of the Left are attempting to destroy the distinction between genders and force compliance to the New Normal of Lunacy.  When seventy-five percent of the nation believes we are on the wrong path politically, we should realize that the danger to the republic is real. 

The disaster at the southern border is not only endangering Americans but causing the death of many.  The drug cartels are flooding our nation with the incredibly dangerous drug fentanyl.  The surge in deaths from that illicit drug is horrifying, but Washington seems to be taking a ‘ho hum’ approach.  With the recent move of the Washington, DC., city council to allow noncitizens to vote, an objective related to the open borders, we should see an increase in Lunacy and a decrease in Sanity and Normal.  So, “Is Lunacy the New Normal?” 

On February 2, 2023, the House of Representatives passed a bill (H. Con. Res.9) opposing the implementation of socialist policies and denouncing socialism in all its forms.  The vote was 327-86.  How could 86 Democrats vote to oppose the opposition of socialism and socialistic policies?  Is that part of the lunacy?  An even more disturbing question is, “Why Was This Even Necessary?”  Why did Congress need to pass a bill that denounced Socialism?  What happened to Republicanism (not the party but the system of government)?

We have a condition in America where younger Americans, indoctrinated through our educational system’s promotion of Revisionist History, Political Correctness, and Wokeism, embrace Socialism.  That is troubling!  The Axios and Momentive poll of June 2021 revealed that 51% of young adults (18-34) have a positive view of socialism.  Those in the age group of 35-65+ also showed an uptick toward favoring socialism.  What has happened?  We have multi-generational professional entitlement recipients.  Freebies, for me, is the modern mantra!  Rational thought about the cost and who is paying is missing from the equation.  Therefore, the question, “Is Lunacy the New Normal?”

If we go back to FDR, we discover that a number of members of the Brain Trust and Think Tank that advised the president were advocates of Marxism and Leninism.  They helped to produce the “New Deal” and the disaster that was created.  The Great Depression, with over 20% unemployment, economic chaos, and starvation, provided the open the door to coerce Americans into accepting the government’s overreach.  Big Government became Mammoth and has never slowed down.

Lyndon Johnson brought us the ‘Great Society,’ an expansion of FDR’s ‘New Deal.’  They were going to stamp out poverty but instead enabled the federal government to overreach even more and have more control over our lives.  Some have called this era of Big Government the Administrative State and is the tool those seeking to destroy America from within are using to achieve their objectives.  We have been inundated with alphabet agencies, the EPA, FDA, SEC, etc. 

Those agencies tell us how to live and seek total control.  They have obliterated the separation of powers as they exercise the powers of all three branches of government.  They tell us how to pursue our health concerns, interact with the environment, operate in a pandemic, and more.   Is Lunacy the New Normal?

The Founding Fathers hammered out a Constitution that involved incredible thought, study, and compromise between the various ideologies of that day.  Those men desired a Republic with a Constitution that would safeguard the inalienable rights of all citizens.  They wanted to ensure that we would be able to pursue Life without government interference and excessive oversight.  They desired that we be guaranteed Liberty and allowed to Pursue Happiness with all our freedoms intact.  Today that is anathema to the globalists and followers of toxic liberalism. 

Today, the Biden administration is openly targeting conservative news outlets.  He and they are using taxpayer funds to blacklist, defund, and silence ‘The American Spectator’ and other conservative media outlets.  This is censorship!  It can be called nothing else.  If a media outlet presents false information, they should be held accountable, but in today’s PC world, only conservative outlets are deemed to be purveyors of disinformation or misinformation.  The liberal outlets are protected; what they present, debunked, and exposed is deemed truth and protected speech.  So, “Is Lunacy the New Normal?”

Today, we have evidence that the Biden administration is even cozier with George Soros than Obama was.  That is difficult to imagine, but a Soros Open Society Foundation director has visited the Biden White House over a dozen times.  The connection of this administration to China and other nations that openly hate us is disturbing.  If we follow the money that has come to Joe Biden since he entered Washington, it should be alarming.  A man that was not wealthy is not very wealthy on a salary that could not produce that wealth. 

We are not allowed to discuss inner-city crime, the origins of COVID-19, or illegal immigration.  We are not allowed to discuss gender blending, sex change for children, and more.  If we question any of those, we are deemed racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynist, or some other derogatory term.  We are called White supremacists and deemed worse than Lucifer himself. 

It is time to stop the lunacy, open the discussion between rational people, and see if we can find a solution.  I contend that the only solution is a return to our moral and biblical moorings.  If we keep electing those following the Lunacy of today in politics, we are part of the problem, not the solution.

America, I pray that we will awaken from our stupor and unite, returning to our foundational moorings and God.  I pray we will unite to reclaim our Republic and once again have a nation where ‘We the People’ have a voice and matter. 

God bless you, and God bless America!

A SHIFT IN THE WINDS…


As I prepared to write, my mind was filled with many things, and the deep lostness of Woke America was foremost on my mind.  The question, “What Will It Take?” echoed in my mind.  “When?” was another question that tugged at my heart.  Then, I felt that I was sensing a shift in the winds in America.  But what does that mean?  What will that mean? 

For the past few months, I have been deeply troubled, and during the night, I awakened thinking about the myriad of issues facing my beloved nation.  As I mused on those things, I was drawn to the reality of what I had been proclaiming for a long time.  We Need God!  Before you reject everything, I ask that you hear me out.  Allow me to attempt to articulate what I mean.

Many of our Founding Fathers echoed the sentiment that the American experiment would fail without divine providence and favor.  Our first president and the man called the Father of our Country declared in his farewell speech on September 19, 1796, “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of right and order which Heaven itself has ordained.”  He continued, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.  In vain would the man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.”

President Washington, if you could see us now, you would decry the radicalization of the media, federal law enforcement, and federal agencies used to suppress our freedoms and infringe upon our religious liberties.  You would be stunned at the many antibiblical policies and practices being engaged in today.  In our formative years, the politicians encouraged and embraced the voice of the clergy in formulating our laws.  Our constitution and system of laws are connected to the precepts of the Ten Commandments and God’s laws described in the Bible. 

Today, the Left and some on the Right are engaged in stripping everything of God, moral sanity, and religion from the public square.  Maybe it is because they do not believe in God.  Perhaps it is because those rules of conduct impinge upon their ability to pursue the quest for power, graft, corruption, and wealth.  Maybe it is because they are products of the modern educational revisionist history and genuinely believe that the founders wanted religion and God to be banned from government.  I do not know, but I do know that the fruit of their actions is paying negative dividends, and we are suffering needlessly.

The Winds Are Shifting!  I see both the positive and the negative trends in the shifting political paradigm.  No, politicians are not changing for the better, but I sense that there are those in the public, working ordinary people, who are becoming aware of what is happening.  Many see, but because of what they have had ingrained in their psyche cannot abandon the parties that are weakening the framework of our republic.  They see, but habit and philosophical conditioning prevent them from casting their ballots against the destroyers.  They feel the pinch and detest the infringements upon their liberties but keep trying to blame the dastardly occupants of the opposing political party.

Habits are hard to break, and generational habits are even more challenging!  They are like the proponents of Socialism, and Communism, insisting that it fails because it has not been attempted correctly.  Many on the Left and the Right believe that we can fix the problems in America politically.  I think they are wrong! 

America will not be restored at the polls!  Politicians got us into this mess, but politicians will not deliver us from it.  Our drift from basic morality has opened the door to the chaos we face.  I believe that stripping the basic principles and precepts taught in the Bible from our educational system has aided in the decline. Our drift from our faith has been far more damaging than most will admit.

Proverbs 14:34 – “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”

Proverbs 29:2 – “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”

I unashamedly use scripture to define my concerns.  I believe that God, moral sanity, restoration of the home and family, and a return to public demand for ethics and accountability in all elected officials are keys to our recovery and restoration.  It bothers me that we have been governed by immoral, unethical, dishonest, and devious politicians for decades.  I am not saying that every person elected to a political office fits that bill, but many do. 

I am disturbed that many in America are not bothered by the graft, corruption, unethical, and immoral behavior of politicians.  I am disturbed that, even in the Church, there has been a growing shift to tolerance, refusing to call evil what it is, evil, and even calling evil good and good evil.  I am troubled when the voices of reason are silent, and the continuation of practices that brought us to the brink of destruction is accepted as the only pathway afforded us.

This will not resonate with everyone, but for those who believe in God and love America, I appeal to you.  We cannot fix America politically; the corruption of politics has grown too pervasive.  We cannot fix America socially with legislation.  We cannot fix America morally via laws, rules, edicts, and mandates.  We cannot fix America economically via the political process.  We have enough laws on the books now; if that were possible, we would be a utopia.  We are not!

How do we fix America?  Let me offer this to Christians and ask, “What Can We Do For Our Country?”  Several simple things must be at the forefront of all we do and think.  We need to live godly lives.  We need to teach and admonish other people to live godly lives.  We need to pray for those in positions of authority and government.

America began with the aid of God and thrived when the principles of God’s eternal rules of right and order were observed.  America became arguably the greatest nation in existence as we encouraged strong families, taught each generation the value of a work ethic, and respected the inalienable rights given to every human.

The Winds are Shifting, and two streams are flowing simultaneously in America today.  There is the stream that places God at the front and seeks to manifest His principles of right and truth. They desire honesty, live ethically, love tirelessly, and pray fervently.  The other stream disregards those, and the mantra is “Me.”  What is in it for me?  Hate is pervasive, and the caldron is boiling that will soon erupt into widespread chaos and bloodshed. 

Politicians and politics got us into this mess and will destroy us.  If we genuinely believe we can win enough elections to rectify the destruction, we are participating in the destruction.  Yes, we need to vote, but we must go beyond the polls and into our prayer closets.  We must reclaim the education of our children and teach truth, not the revised, politically correct version.  The truth may hurt, but if it is truth, it will enable us to learn from our mistakes and build on the positive.  Whitewashing history will not properly equip future generations to avoid the errors of the past.

The Winds are Shifting!  America can be salvaged!  But if it is, it will be on our knees!

God bless you, and God bless America!

CALIFORNIA DREAMING…


No, I am not referring to the Mamas and Papas song from 1965.  Instead, I am speaking of the incredibly draconian, totalitarian actions by the state officials of the governor and elected officials of that other world.  I must apologize to all my wonderful California friends who are anything but followers of the toxic liberal woke agenda that is being imposed there.  There are good people everywhere; sadly, they are often a persecuted minority in some areas.

What I am talking about is the desire of the California governor and followers, as well as the national Woke proponents who are avid Greenies and desirous of achieving totalitarianism whereby they have total control of our lives.  California dreams of banning all combustion engine vehicles, gas stoves, and anything connected to the oil, gas, or coal industries.  They believe their actions are justifiable and required to save us from destruction!  Destroying our lives and ability to live is inconsequential; after all, saving the Smelt fish and addressing Global Warming while facilitating abortion and devious lifestyles must take precedence.

As many probably know, some months ago, the beautiful city of San Diego charted the course to tax people out of their automobiles and into public transportation.  The plan is to make driving your own vehicle so expensive that you have no option but to use public transit.  San Diego County’s Regional Transportation Agency (SANDAG) added to the pain of the price of gasoline with the plan to add three new half-cent sales tax increases.  Additionally, they are making over 800 miles of San Diego County freeway lanes into toll lanes and adding a milage tax for every mile driven to pay for their $165 billion mass transit plan. 

They have opted not to build the road improvements promised in an earlier plan but will keep the taxes intact until 2048 to pay for the improvements that are not forthcoming.  The Tractors song “Badly Bent” comes to mind, and the lyrics, “I’d like to ask the Congress, I’d like to ask the President where all the money went?”  They openly acknowledged that at the core of their intent is behavior change.  They said, “Charging fees for the transportation infrastructure that people use – for example, charging users for each mile they drive on the highway – can change travel behavior.”  Control, control, and more control is the desire.  We will tell you when, where, and how you can travel.

As usual, the people whom this plan will hurt the most are those on the lower end of the economic strata.  But the Donkeys are for the little people, right?  Then why is it that everything they do, hurts those of us who are not wealthy and frequently benefits those who are?  Could it be that their hands are also in the cookie jar?

We have had at least three decades of public education indoctrination with curricula and teaching methods designed to brainwash our most precious resource, young minds.  That is bearing the fruit they desired and deeply disturbing this Freedom Loving American Veteran.  I am a father and a grandfather, and what I see makes me weep and realize that the warnings of biblical writers are a modern reality.  We are living in dangerous and troubling times.  If this is not the biblical ‘Last Days,’ I am sure I do not want to be here when that time comes. 

California Dreaming is a phrase that I use to speak of the Utopianism of many on the Left and those who no longer believe in the ideal of America.  A recent poll indicated that only 27% of the younger generation are proud to be American.  I am convinced that is the result of the indoctrination they receive in educational circles, through the media, Hollywood, and the wise sages in athletics (sic). 

Those young minds have been filled with the rhetoric that capitalism is inherently evil and socialism or communism is pro-people, making everything equal and fair.  They have not been eyewitnesses of the devastation of those socio-political and socio-economic attempts.  They have not witnessed the devastating totalitarianism in those countries where socialism or communism is the government.  They have only heard the talking points of the Left, and as good soldiers of wokeism, they embrace it as the gospel.  After all, their fearless leaders would never lie to them, would they? 

A poll taken as recently as 2004 indicated that 91% of Americans were extremely or very proud to be American, and the United States ranked first in the world in national pride.  What caused this dramatic shift in national pride over the past two decades?  A recent poll indicated that the percentage had dropped to 68%, but in the two youngest generations, 38% of the Millennials and 16% of Gen Z are proud to be American.  The youngest generations are bearing the fruit of the design to destroy America from within.  A valid question would be, “Have we lost America?”

Who is to blame for this shift in ideological belief?  Who isn’t?  As a minister of the gospel, I blame those of us in the clergy for our failure to decry the wrongs being advanced and fight for what is biblical, moral, and the ideals of republicanism (not the political party).  I blame the educational system and those who seized control and mandated the toxic agenda and curricula.  I blame parents for not following the biblical precept of teaching our children at every opportunity and standing on biblical and moral principles rather than ceding the education of those children to politically correct modern indoctrination. 

Do I blame anyone else?  Of course, I also blame personal greed and the attitude of ‘what is in it for me?’ and ‘if it doesn’t impact me significantly, I’ll just let the politicians handle the politics.’  Our prosperity and freedom helped generate a spirit of indifference and self-centeredness that caused us to ignore the warning signs.  I blame the politicians for allowing the thirst for power and control and their newfound pathway to personal wealth.  I blame the globalist inspired by Hell, who learned they could shame and bribe governments and elected officials to achieve their ends.  Who is to blame?  All of us!

Hybrid Socialism/Marxism prevalent in America today claim’s that the United States has always been unfair, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, rapacious, and imperialistic.  In their minds and message, America was, is, and unless fundamentally transformed, evil.  The reality that Marxism and Socialism have failed miserably every time they were implemented is absent from their reality.  Those advancing the theory believe the previous attempts failed because those promoting the theories were not as intelligent as they are and drifted from those systems’ pure principles (sic). 

One day, the younger generations will be in charge, which is frightening for posterity.  Can you imagine what it would be like when those younger Americans blindly support efforts to fundamentally transform us and take total control?  Can any of those desiring to transform America explain how the plans of free everything will be paid for? 

How will the Utopian government facilitate the agricultural endeavors to feed the exploding population due to the absence of a border?  What will happen when the promised guaranteed job and income fail to become a reality?  What will happen when the dollar is stripped from its perch as the world’s reserve currency and becomes worthless paper backed by nothing?  How will that America defend itself against the inflexible diabolical powers that have attained global hegemony?  We will be a memory, not a republic, enslaved rather than free!  

America, if we do not wake up, we will witness the fundamental transformation of the Republic.  I hope to offer possible solutions in future articles.  But for now, my plea is, if you are a believer in God, please begin to intercede for America and, thereby, the world. 

God bless you, and God bless America!

REVOLUTION, REFORMATION, and TRANSFORMATION, WHERE IT ALL BEGINS…


When we consider things like the American Revolution, we tend to think only of the actual fighting of the war using troops against troops.  However, as in all conflicts, it began long before the shooting started.  It began in the minds and hearts of the people as they developed an intense desire for freedom.  I believe there is a revolution brewing, and it will either erupt into fighting in the streets or suppression of the people into subservience to the government elitists.  We will either rise up and find a pathway to freedom, or we will find ourselves in virtual chains to the ideologues of transformation of the republic.

The American Revolution began as early as 1760, with growing concerns and anger in the hearts and minds of the colonists regarding their treatment and suppression by the Crown.  There is a trigger point for every person when they say, ‘Enough!’ and resists.  We do not seem to have reached that point on a scale that will produce a revolution, reformation, and transform the morphed government back to a Constitutional one.  When will that happen?  Will that happen?  Will we see a civil war or an attempt to throw off the chains imposed by the federal government?  Only time will tell, and only God knows!

Thomas Jefferson wrote to John Adams in 1815 and insisted that the actual war was only the consequence of the Revolution, not the true Revolution.  He believed that the real Revolution began in the minds of the American people!  He argued that when their anger and dissatisfaction reached the point of no return, they fought.  They knew that any hope of a sustainable republic had to be formulated in the people’s minds.  Many of our Founding Fathers envisioned a Republic where people were continually informed and gave careful oversight to the government.  We, the People, were the owners of the government.

As a Christian, an American patriot, a Vietnam Veteran, a father, a grandfather, and a lover of freedom, I detest the idea of a global government.  The globalists have, for decades, if not for more than a century, slowly been implementing their agenda and laying the groundwork for a One-World-Government.  The signs are so prevalent that even a blind person could see them.  Sadly, too many do not want to see the handwriting on the wall and live in a Utopian Wonderland, believing things will magically improve.  They will not!  Those seeking power never willingly relinquish the gains they have made.

The paranoia that arose out of the COVID pandemic is revelatory of the designs and desires of the globalists.  Those in control seem to hyperventilate over the variants of the disease because they see it as a pathway to total control and monitoring of our lives.  I am not downplaying the seriousness of COVID; I have had friends die as a result of the disease or as a factor in their demise.  I know some who have never fully recovered from the effects of the disease.  I do not diminish it, but I also cannot overlook the usage of this crisis to seize power and the positioning of global monitoring of every human on the planet. 

We have moved from individual nations issuing edicts and mandates to a global consortium under the auspices of the United Nations, the WHO, and others to make their mandates legally binding internationally.  They have reverted from the requirement to maintain respect for human dignity, human rights, and our fundamental freedoms to focus on what they deem equity, inclusivity, and coherence.  That is a Marxist principle, not Republicanism or Democracy. 

The Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit organization devoted to protecting religious freedom and enlightening the public, did some amazing research. Their cohesive compilation of information should cause people to take note and be alarmed.  The           WHO, the UN, and the globalists are empowering themselves to monitor and control us and create the ability to redistribute the wealth as they choose.  They are empowering themselves to mandate treatment, demand vaccine passports, contact tracing, and issue quarantines.   Control is the name of the game.  The Book of Revelation in the Bible speaks of this kind of activity.

Tyranny virtually always wears the cloak of benevolence and ultimately demands total control, supposedly in exchange for saving our lives.  The devaluing of human life can be seen in the desire for abortion on demand.  The presentation of the idea that restricting abortions is somehow taking away the reproductive rights of women is ludicrous.  The woman is exorcising her reproductive rights in choosing to have sex outside of marriage or without protection.  If she gets pregnant, another human life is inserted into the mix.  The desire of the woman not to have a baby does not supersede the right of the baby to live.  Adoption is always an option! 

Human life, once devalued, creates a mindset that invites euthanasia.  Where does it end?  When population control becomes the goal, human life has lost its value, and those deciding which life has worth and which does not become virtual gods.  That should cause each of us to have a twinge of anger at what is transpiring and a desire to see things restored to moral rightness, constitutionality, and our founding purpose.

We are living in a world that is deeply mired in moral relativism.  Our children are continuously taught that there are no absolute standards of right and wrong.  There are no absolute truths.  Relativism teaches that morality is subjective and a matter of convention, like the laws of society.  The advocates of that philosophy demand that just like laws differ from nation to nation and locale to locale or even in differing periods, morality also differs and changes. 

This philosophy allows the individual to have a warm-fuzzy sense of being open-minded, tolerant, and inclusive.  The idea that we control what is right and wrong gives us a false sense of power.  We believe we are the master of our fate and the captain of our ship of life.  It eliminates God and makes us the god of our world and life. 

Peter Kreet, in his “A Refutation of Moral Relativism,” uses the analogy that our instincts are like the keys on a piano, and morality is like sheet music.  The sheet music tells us what keys to play.  Likewise, moral principles tell us which instincts to engage in and which to ignore, meaning that morality must be more than mere instinct.  We are creations of God, and God is the guide of moral rightness. 

What does this have to do with the condition of the mind that produces revolution, reformation, and transformation?  Everything!  If we allow God to be our guide for morality and truth, then the usurpations and abridgments by the government or the purveyors of moral relativism will trouble us.  We will realize that if we allow this to become the norm, we will lose our freedoms and produce a society where human life is meaningless.  We will become slaves to the tyrannical.

We will resist when we reach the place where we can tolerate no more of the infringement upon our inalienable rights and the overt attempt to brainwash our children.  If we unify and return to moral sanity, God, and the principles of the American Republic, we will see the propitious smiles of heaven shining upon us and restoration.  The ball is in our court.  What will we do?

God bless you, and God bless America!

THE COUP THEY WISH WE NEVER KNEW…


I can hear the clamor, ‘conspiracy theories again.’  But when facts back up a theory or a charge, it is not a theory but a reality.  It almost seems like someone seized control of the federal government without our seeing it.  Well, they did!  Some of us saw it and have been sounding the alarm, often called everything but a sane human being.

There are so many areas to address. They highlight the coup or coups that have been transpiring as the nefarious globalists, deep state adherents, and swamp denizens seek to ‘fundamentally transform’ our republic into something other than the Free, Constitutionally Guaranteed Republic our Founders created.

The Border is revelatory of a coup by the Left using the Biden administration as their shill to destroy America.  They have effectively erased the Southern Border and opened the floodgates to a planned invasion that will prove catastrophic for our republic and freedoms. 

Reports show that over 5 million have crossed our border with impunity and are largely ignored by the feds.  I do not recall a bill coming out of Congress that repealed our immigration laws, do you?  I keep looking for an Executive Order signed by Joe Biden that made illegal entry legal, but maybe I missed it.

How about the Student Loan Forgiveness that the courts declared illegal but that does not bother the Biden team?  In my decades on planet Earth, I have always found that money borrowed had to be paid back, usually with interest.  Of course, that is unless you default on the loan or declare bankruptcy.  Those have or have had repercussions and damage the borrower’s credit rating. 

Money does not grow on trees!  But under this administration, it magically appears from the printing press of the Federal Reserve, and the flow of fiat money continues.  Ultimately that house of cards will collapse, and countries will be forced to abandon worthless unbacked paper for something like gold to do their business.  Individuals will be the ones who pay the direst penalty for the government’s Ponzi scheme.  Hey, $30 Trillion is no big deal.  WRONG!

The revelations by Elon Musk regarding Twitter’s use by the diabolical agent of Leftism scream that a coup has been underway for some time.  The release of Twitter files reveals that the Deep State and the Swamp are alive, well, and very real.  The collusion between Big Tech and Big Government is so apparent that even a blind person could see it. 

We know, beyond a doubt, that the FBI utilized Twitter and Facebook to wage an attempted coup against Donald Trump and other Americans.  The members of the Deep State and Swamp screamed that there was no such thing as the Deep State and that no irregularities or illegalities had transpired.  It was all Trump and others on the Right crying foul when no foul had occurred.  We suspected that was fallacious, but now we know the facts, and Facts are stubborn things.  They reveal truth!

The FBI, eager to utilize the Social Media outlet Twitter, granted Top-Secret clearances to Twitter employees.  That is more than a little troubling, or should be. It demands a much more in-depth explanation than we have received thus far.  They not only went after Trump at every turn and scores of other conservatives but also sought to protect Hillary, Biden, and Obama, most assuredly, to discredit the revelations about Hunter Biden’s damning laptop.

The Elon Musk Twitter drop clearly shows that the DNC had Twitter go after actor James Woods.  Woods is an outspoken conservative, making the Left terribly uncomfortable and placing a find-and-destroy target on his back.  In Hollywood and Leftist Political Circles, he is persona non grata.  What needs to be discerned is if the federal government was involved and, if so, the question of constitutionality and criminality.

The Twitter executives were lying through their teeth the entire time.  They believed they were protected because Twitter was an arm of the Deep State, but Elon Musk arrived and exposed them.  Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey attempted to assure Congress and the public that shadow bans and targeting of individuals were non-existent.  Salacious lies!  They were actively blacklisting conservatives and keeping ‘disfavored’ tweets from seeing the light of day.  They were hiding accounts and topics without the users’ knowledge. 

They argued that the Twitter algorithm did not make judgments based on political views!  Most of us laughed when that assertion was made; we knew it was fallacious!  Mr. Dorsey boldly declared, “We certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints.”  Hey, Mr. Dorsey, if you believe what you are saying, I have some prime oceanfront property in the middle of Arizona that I want to sell to you.  It has flying pigs and unicorns on it too!

Beyond Twitter, we have been informed that House Republicans have uncovered Text and Email evidence that Nancy Pelosi and her staff secretly decreased security at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and, at the same time, were organizing a film crew.  Does that smell like something is rotten in Denmark?  Something fishy there!  We have evidence that President Trump requested additional National Guard protection for the U.S. Capitol that day, but Nancy Pelosi turned him down.  Why?

Do you remember Nancy saying to her staged camera crew, “I hope [Trump] comes, I’m going to punch him out, and I’m going to jail, and I’m going to be happy’?”   Well, Nancy, you probably need to go to jail, but what you and your cohorts did on that day, after and previous to that day, scream coup, but not from Trump.

A fact check debunked the claim media claim that Trump ordered audits of James Comey and Andrew McCabe by the IRS.  An IRS watchdog revealed that little tidbit. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration determined that the IRS randomly selected Comey and McCabe for audits of their tax returns from 2017 and 2019 as a part of a program the IRS uses to refine its technology.  There was no evidence of malfeasance by Trump or any Trump-appointed official.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General exonerated border patrol agents accused of whipping Haitian migrants as they crossed into the United States from Mexico.  Also, the Justice Department’s Inspector General debunked the infamous Steele dossier, which the media cited as evidence that Trump and his campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election.  Those are just a few pieces of evidence to reveal that the Left is engaged in a coup against our Constitutional Republic. 

The continual misinformation campaign by this administration and the Left is beyond disheartening; it is dangerous.  If we do not demand that politicians follow the rule of law and the constitution, we will continue to watch our Republic become something other than constitutional.   We must make them accountable – ALL OF THEM!

God bless you, and God bless America!

THE ATTACK OF THE MEGALOMANIACS…


We are well into 2023, with signs of hope and hopelessness everywhere! There is hope if your faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of God.  There is hopelessness if your faith is in politicians and politics.  Sadly, the politicians all drink at the same watering trough and play to the same media.  They are narcissistic egotists and suffer from delusions of grandeur.  They do not see themselves as public servants and serving at the behest of the voters, but once elected, they deem themselves as our Lords and Ladies who know best.  In their minds, we should be beholding to them and awed with gratitude.

The modern mainstream media that was once ‘News Media’ has become a weaponized propaganda arm of ideologies inharmonious with freedom and liberty.  The media and politicians have become megalomaniacs, and their maniacal actions threatened our Republic more than any foreign adversary. 

Most of them seem to believe what Barack Hussein Obama openly lamented, the Constitution is too restrictive and prevents them from doing what they desire.  In this administration, that is not a problem; they ignore the Constitution and the Courts and dare Congress to intervene.  They play to the WOKE crowd and those who have an entitlement mentality. 

The objective is not always clear, but the end game is – Control and Totalitarianism.  The media works with the followers of the toxic liberal agenda of globalism and the myriads of insane demands presented by the WOKE adherents.  Modern media provides little useful information and is hardly worth watching or listening to.  News Media is a misnomer; they are biased propagandists and should be identified as such.

There was a time when actual factual information was reported, and opinion pieces were few and well-identified.  Today, opinion pieces dominate the MSM, and the purveyors of those reports deem them as Law and Gospel.  Unfortunately, those who only get their information from the MSM believe the reports, even when debunked.  Megalomania reigns supreme in the Media, Politics, Entertainers, and Activists and is becoming a norm rather than an anomaly. 

The media today decides “what news we need to hear.”  Need is determined by the network’s ideological position.  The need, in their view, is what will best advance their ideological cause, not providing factual and complete data so we can make an informed decision.  There were obvious opinion shows such as Meet the Press, 60 Minutes, Edward R. Murrow, Eric Sevareid, and others. We knew we were getting their views, not necessarily the total picture. 

In my early years, we had about three stations, ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates.  The newspapers reported events that happened, not what they wanted us to believe and why they happened.  Magazines were filled with pictures and advertising and a little informative reporting.  That was an era when men would try to convince their wives that Playboy was for the articles, not the pictures.  We had no internet, cable channels, cell phones, or social media, and the news was the lifeline of information for many.

Back in the day, journalists actually existed and vetted the stories they published, and if a mistake was revealed, there was a correction or a retraction.  Good luck finding that today! Today it is spin and propaganda. The superfluous diatribe and drivel are mind-numbing and repulsive to the thinking person who loves truth and freedom.

I believe that genuine news reporting is vital in maintaining freedom because it should be a key cog in educating the public about the truth.  Our entire system was designed to provide information to the public, and the voter then could make a reasoned choice in candidates and policies.  That ship sailed long ago, and it is challenging to be informed with factual data, but possible.

George Orwell’s 1984 and Alvin Toffler’s 1970 book Future Shock accurately describe today.  Toffler said, “People of the future may suffer not from an absence of choice but from a paralyzing surfeit of it.  They may turn out to be victims of that peculiarly super-industrial dilemma: over choice.” 

With the 24/7/365 availability of “stuff,” the average person is easily swayed and frequently confused.  It reminds me of Proverbs 18:17, “The first one to plead his case seems right UNTIL another comes and examines him.”  In Ecclesiastes 12:13, we are advised, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter….”  Too many get their daily exercise jumping to conclusions and jerking their knee in reaction.

We have the truth available and more means of it being presented than at any time in our history. Yet, we have fewer facts and more misinformation and disinformation than ever.  There is no journalistic discipline or accountability in today’s world.  Someone said, “It’s in our biology to trust what we see with our eyes and hear with our ears.”  That gives credence to the idea often attributed to Lenin, Hitler, or Goebbels – “If a lie is told often enough and spoken loud enough, it will eventually be believed.”  Who said it is not important? The reality of seeing it walked out in our world is!

I have contended and contend that it is up to each of us to vet the information we receive as fully as possible.  Edgar Allan Poe is credited with saying, “Do not believe everything you read, and only believe half of what you see.”  There is validity in that when it comes to modern news reporting and political speech.  I read a quote from Colombian philosopher and critic of modernity Nicholas Gomez Davila, “In an age in which the media broadcast countless pieces of foolishness, the educated man is defined not by what he knows, but by what he doesn’t know.” 

We are responsible for what we say and do not say.  We are also responsible for what and how we hear.  Computer technology has a saying, “GIGO – Garbage in, garbage out.”  That is amazingly accurate in many minds today; we hear so much from the sewer of misinformation that we hardly know what is true and what is a lie.  Truth is like a gem hidden beneath the surface in the mine of information; it is up to us to glean it.  We cannot depend upon the megalomaniacs to provide us with the truth. 

I do not like being skeptical and do not want to become a hopeless skeptic, but we need to be cautious about what we hear and doubly about what we repeat.  The Bible says that the Truth will make us free.  The only dependable truth is God’s Word; if we allow the Holy Spirit to direct our moral compass, we can sail into the sea of truth and become free.  Politicians and broadcasters have become what was said about used car salesmen, “If their lips are moving, they are lying!”   I say that with deep remorse because the deception is widespread and destructive.

God help us to return to moral and constitutional sanity, or we will lose the republic

God bless you, and God bless America!

I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS…


My title is ambiguous and requires further expounding to have any meaning.  Before I plunge into the deep cold waters of doubt and questions regarding the federal government and governmental actions and antics, let me say I believe God!  I believe God, not the government.  I believe God, not the purveyors of theories.  I believe God’s Word to be the Inspired Word of God and not only profitable but vital. My motive is to cause everyone to think for themselves not to be controversial.

Now, what do I have questions regarding?  Many things, but what I am focused on is the COVID mandates, treatments, or lack thereof, and the motivations behind the reports, hidden data, and actions during the past two-plus years.  Ancient history for many but painfully prevalent for others. There are far more questions for me than answers.  I do not care which side of the vaxx or not vaxx issue you stand on. That is not where my concern lies.

My concern is not only the information we have been privy to but the failure to disclose the whole gamut of the demands, mandates, lockdowns, information, and misinformation.  My questions arise out of the disagreement in the medical and scientific communities.  My questions arise from the draconian tyrannical actions of Little Napoleons from the local to national levels of government.  My questions arise from the infringement upon our Constitutional and Inalienable Rights, Privileges, and Liberties. 

I have read doctors’ reports on both sides of the coronavirus issue.  There is a plethora of documents that both support the mandates and that decry them as fraudulent, deceptive overreaches that cost lives and diminish freedom.  Who is right, and who is wrong?  I suspect there is a middle ground in which the real truth lies, but most of us outside the loop will never fully know, except as revealed by God Himself. 

Medicine, like the other sciences, is supposed to involve critical thinking and deductive reasoning.  In science and medicine, a hypothesis is always created to explain the myriad complexities of the healthy and diseased.  Each hypothesis is to be tested with the new information and insights that arise.  This results in knowledge about any disease or condition being nudged in one direction. 

Unfortunately, in the COVID-19 pandemic and paranoia, there seems to be a reluctance to allow new information or proven treatments to shift the hypothesis first issued. The information presented was to gain control on many fronts.  There are intellectually curious physicians becoming vocal in questioning the validity of the original mandates, diagnosis, and treatment or non-treatment plan pursued by the CDC and government-run health organizations and physicians.  That raises questions.

There was a time when leeches were used in bloodletting to cure diseases.  That practice is now known to be fallacious but was in place until the late 19th century. Incredible as it sounds, supposedly intelligent scientists believed in the somewhat superstitious practice rooted in anything but medicine.  We have now embraced practices that God instructed the nation of Israel to do as He delivered them from Egyptian bondage.  In the so-called pre-educated era of Moses, Israel applied wisdom in contrast to the superstitious practices of other nations. 

Until recently, Vioxx was considered a safe painkiller until it was discovered that it caused heart attacks and strokes.  The ‘safe and effective’ drug was found to be other than ‘safe.’  We have seen the danger of Oxycontin, marketed as a non-addictive pain killer. It destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, through its highly addictive nature.

My physician said, “I took the Hippocratic Oath and promised to Do No Harm.”  He said that seems to be a forgotten thing in much of the medical community today as government mandates push us toward abandoning that oath.   He said I promised not to be ashamed to say, “I do not know when I do not know, and I also refuse to play God.”  I trust my doctor, and he willingly listens and seeks answers if I have questions. 

He was disturbed by Dr. Fauci and others in the limelight during the height of COVID and insisted that no doctor, scientist, preacher, politician, or person knows everything.  My doctor believes we should be open to new information and reach our conclusion regarding any hypothesis using the compiled data available.  Any doctor or scientist that declares, “I am the science,” is attempting to replace God as the supreme and should not be trusted.

In America, we are told that at least 80% of the population received one dose of the vaccine, and at least 68% received two doses.  The incredible thing is that there is no end to COVID infections after almost three years.  The World Health Organization (WHO) has not declared that a new variant will be the most transmittable yet coming.  We are told that hospitalizations have been rising since Thanksgiving. 

It is evident that the vaccines did little, if anything, to prevent COVID infection. They may help to prevent hospitalizations, but that seems questionable based on new reports.  The rise in cardiac issues in young men and the rise in people dying from extraneous things at a much higher rate than pre-vaccine is concerning.  Are those things connected? What will happen in ten years post-vaccine? Have we opened pandora’s box and created something that will have repercussions well into the future?  We do not fully know, but it should cause us to ask questions.

In the beginning, we were told by the CDC, Dr. Fauci, and the WHO that vaccinated people did not carry the virus.  That was wrong. Few physicians questioned the original assertion. The CDC has or has had on its website that the vaccines are ‘safe and effective.’  If that is true, why is COVID still around, especially among those vaccinated and boosted? 

Physicians are concerned about the rise in myocarditis.  VAERS data reports that there have been 25,000 cases post-vaccine.  Steve Kirsch calculated that the VAERS underreporting rate is a factor of 41, which indicates that there could be as many as one million cases.  That is concerning! The recent incident by the NFL player Damar Hamlin has reignited questions and should. 

Young and healthy athletes can and do suffer cardiac arrest playing their sport.  In the past decade, there have been about 30-60 per year, but post-vaccine, many have transpired each month.  Is there a connection? We need answers!

One more thing before I conclude was the disturbing report by Steve Kirsch that sudden death was the Number One cause of death among those under 65 who received the COVID vaccine.  Also, over 260 athletes and former athletes in the USA died from cardiac arrest and other severe issues after receiving the vaccine.  Is there a connection? We need some definitive answers.

A Rasmussen Report suggested that almost one-half of Americans believe that COVID-19 vaccines are to blame for the unexpected and unexplained deaths.  More than twenty-five percent claim to know someone who could be included in those statistics.  If the non-medical populace is curious, should physicians not be extremely curious and determined to discover answers? 

I am not trying to write pro or con on the vaccine, only that I have questions, and the deceptiveness and failure to disclose information by the CDC and government fully cause me concern.  It leads to more distrust, which is not a good place because it could cause us to be trepidatious about everything, even the good things presented to us in the future.   We need answers, not fodder, for more questions.  Again, I declare I trust God!

America, we need to insist that our politicians, government, and scientific community be forthcoming and honest with us.  Hiding things and having fabrications exposed will only increase the divide between ideologies in America and the world.  We need honesty, and we need to become involved in our government.

God bless you, and God bless America!

NO, ALICE, POLITICS CANNOT SAVE AMERICA…


I am not intentionally being abrasive; I am using a bit of sarcasm in my statement.  If you believe we can right the ship of state in America via the political avenue, you are misguided.  I believe that door has closed. There is hope for America and the world, temporarily.  It is not through the political.

As many know, I am a Christian, a preacher, and a staunch advocate for Constitutional purism.  I love America!  I love Freedom!  But more than anything, I love God; through that love, I love my fellow humans and want the best for everyone.  I long to see a society where we treat each other respectfully, follow ethical pathways, and return to a more moral condition.  If that is to be a reality, it cannot and will not come through politics. 

Politics is a dirty business, largely self-serving. It is food for the narcissistic to seek prominence and power.  Politics has no qualms about sacrificing lives for political position and power.  Politics is designed to divide and conquer using whatever means available in the quest for control.  Politics is not the friend of the common man.

Political Parties like Church Denominations are manmade entities that do more to separate and isolate than to unite.  Political rhetoric is akin to false advertising claims made by manufacturers of their goods.  It offers an unattainable fantasy and drives wedges through fear into the hearts of the gullible. 

Political Parties, being manmade institutions, seldom live up to their billing nor fulfill their promise.  They are flawed because the people controlling them are flawed and often driven by their thirst for power.  Man, at his best, is corrupt.  Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  The more power available, the more likely there will be corruption, collusion, and confusion. 

The only, and I repeat, ONLY hope for America is God!  If that causes you to cease reading, that is your choice.  I defend your right to do so and even to disagree adamantly.  I hope it is not a vehement disagreement because that is part of the problem in today’s world and the political scene.  Vitriolic diatribe and hate-filled language drive people from reason to reaction.  Emotional reaction is usually knee-jerk and does not carefully count costs and weigh the options.  It reacts because it is threatened, offended, or challenged. 

Politicians in the modern era have become supersalesmen peddling their wares with utopian ideas they know will never be enacted and likely never attempted.  Every voter should carefully examine the flowery language that flows from the glib-tongued aspirants for political office.  I hear politicians that I agree with and those I do not make outlandish promises and I cringe.  It often identifies either their lack of understanding of the office they seek and its power or they are selling snake oil to the gullible. 

In the Book of Psalms, David prayed, a prayer that I pray regularly and one that the nation needs to embrace.  Psalm 139:23-24 – “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting!”  You can count on it: He knows, sees, hears, and understands people’s hearts.  He is more than willing to lead us in the right way and transform our hearts so that we can, at least, be kind to one another, if not love one another.

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus challenged the church (people) to repent and return to their first love (Him).  The Golden Rule calls for us to treat others as we desire; they treat us.  That is a straightforward declaration, and all could follow, but we adopt a modified version, “Do unto others before they do unto us.”   Rather than forgiving, we often find ourselves in the mentality of vengeance.  I had a man in the church tell me, “I don’t get mad; I get even.”  He was comfortable with that; I am not biblically, morally, socially, or societally. 

We want to see America restored to its place of prominence as the world’s preeminent superpower economically and militarily.  As many previous presidents have stated, strength is the surest way to have peace.  When America has been strong, those who wanted to destroy were hesitant to launch acts of aggression.  Strength without moral mooring leads to tyranny and despotism.  We have seen that in history.  As a nation, America stood for Freedom. 

In the past few years, we have evicted God from the public square and opened the door for ideologies anathema to biblical precepts and moral sanity eroding the foundations of our republic.  Ronald Reagan poetically lauded the beacon of freedom that shined in America, and for much of our history, that beacon has provided hope for the world.  That beacon is, at best, a flickering candle today, and the light in the Lighthouse needs to be reignited. 

The only hope for America is a return to what made us the great nation we have been and can be.  In Jeremiah, the prophet spoke for God in Jeremiah 29:12-14 declaring that if people called upon God, He would listen.  What an amazing concept.  We pray to the Creator of all things, and He listens to us!  He said that if we would seek Him, we would find Him if we seek with a whole heart.  He promised that He would restore them!  We have Hope, but that Hope is in God and God alone!

W. Robert Godfrey, the Anglican minister, said, “God is still doing His work when it seems like the heretics are having all the success.”  God has not abandoned the Throne of Heaven or people who will seek Him with their whole hearts.  He promises Never to leave us nor forsake us.  The man’s cry in Mark 9:24 could be the cry of America today.  We need to cry out with a desperate, piercing cry, “Lord, I believe; help me overcome my unbelief or weak faith.” 

America, if we become so focused on politics that we miss the condition of our hearts, we will err and continue on the path to destruction as a republic.  We cannot continue business as usual; we must take a different path.  If we continue to divide, spew forth vitriolic rhetoric, and attack each other, we will reach the point where the eruption of violence is guaranteed.  That will be the point of no return, for we will have lost our Republic and Freedom.  We can see this nation restored if we deal with the heart and return to our moral mooring. 

God bless you, and God bless America!

THE QUESTION – WHEN, WHAT, WHERE, AND WHY?


Recently I had a conversation with a group of people of diverse political ideologies, and we agreed on little.  We solved none of the world’s problems and yet remained on speaking terms and friends (I use that term loosely).  However, we agreed on a few things, and I believe it could be classified as a significant breakthrough. 

Everyone agreed that the economy is a disaster, but that is not what I am referring to as a breakthrough.  We agreed that the border was creating an untenable condition for the law-abiding, taxpaying public, but I am referring to something else as a breakthrough.  There were a few other things, but one loomed more significant than all the rest.

We all agreed that the federal government, Dr. Fauci, the CDC, the WHO, and many other entities had not been honest with us during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We disagreed on the viability of vaccines, boosters, and treatments. Still, we all agreed that the federal government was duplicitous in reporting on the virus, especially its origin. We did not agree on the source but agreed that the federal government had failed to be forthcoming with the public and had hidden facts that the public deserved to know.  

Included was the concern that there would be additional outbreaks of Wuhan-Style Viruses soon.  We agreed that many of the mandates had the appearance of trial balloons, and bureaucrats and politicians seized upon the opportunity to grab power and control.  Imagine that even some ideological leftists and staunch members of the Donkey Brigade politically agreed.  One even said, “We have been lied to from the start.” 

Have you heard of China’s Frankenvirus experiments?  We know that COVID originated in Wuhan.  We do not fully understand exactly how that transpired and if it was a biological weapon being devised.  I have an opinion; some will insist they have concrete proof, but I do not.  The evidence points to a lab-manufactured virus that was either accidentally or intentionally released.  The preponderous of evidence supports the theory that it was manufactured.

I am confident that China and other world entities have been deeply involved in creating biological viruses. There is no valid reason to do that unless the intent is to use it as a weapon of war.  We also know that China has been conducting research and experiments, one known as “Frankenvirus.”  The genetically modified insects were infected with the virus to study.  Why create a non-existing virus to study?  Why not study actual viruses seeking to find a cure? 

Dr. Shi Zhengli, known as “Batwoman,” was one of the key researchers in China, and it is documented that she supercharged hybrid “Frankenviruses” using HIV in experiments years before COVID.  The manipulation of bugs to make them more infectious to humans was part of that process.  In 2007, she and her colleagues published a paper in the Journal of Virology that showed how viruses could change to attack human cells by splicing them. 

In 2010 her team conducted additional research on how coronaviruses could infect humans by tinkering with the spike protein.  She and her team appear to have been conducting gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in another effort to soup them up and supercharge them just months before the COVID pandemic.  Is that a smoking gun?  It is more like a smoking howitzer.  It would be an invitation to disaster, even if it were not diabolically planned.

Many ethical scientists have called for banning super-bugs that are highly infectious and deadly to humans because of the danger of a lab leak.  If this were part of a diabolical plan to produce a bioweapon, there would be no concern about a leak, for that would give them more proof of their product’s effectiveness.  If there is no concern or value for human life, then this would present no problem for the researchers and those funding or ordering it. 

Lab leaks have been a part of China’s history.  In 1977 the H1N1 flu was believed to have been leaked from the Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin lab.  In 2004 in Beijing, two SARS lab leaks led to researchers’ hospitalization.  In 2020 in Lanzhou, the Brucellosis leak from a vaccine facility infected at least 6,000 people.  None of this is new, so when playing with deadly viruses in a lab, leaks are not uncommon or unexpected. 

A peer review scientific paper in 2010 suggested that the H1N1 virus reappeared after a twenty-year absence.  These things tend to go dormant, mutate, and reappear, often far more deadly than before.  Those desiring to see the world population reduced by one-fourth to one-third should be ecstatic about the prospects. The only concern is that the bug might bite them too.   That is not part of their plan.

The paper said:  “Genetic analysis indicated that this strain was missing decades of nucleotide sequence evolution, suggesting an accidental release of a frozen laboratory strain into the general population.”  The lab from where the leak could come has been identified.  You guessed it, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.  Why?  Because they have the most extensive collection of horseshoe-bat viruses, the possessors of and closest relatives of COVID. 

In my research, I came across a disturbing tidbit of information on a virus that is reported as potentially 75 times more deadly than the coronavirus and would possibly, if not likely, be the new pandemic the world faces.  It is called the Nipah Virus (Brain Swelling and Deadly).  It was first discovered in 1999 in Malaysia, and the death rate is reported as being between 40 and 75 percent.  That is beyond disturbing! 

There is even a pathogen labeled as ‘Disease X.’  It is said to have a long incubation period and would be worse than the Black Death of previous centuries.  Man’s toying with deadly diseases is opening pandora’s box. Rather than finding a cure, the nefarious who desire to control the world and eliminate entire populations see this as a perfect weapon.

Antibiotic resistance already causes more than 700,000 deaths yearly, with more than 200,000 infants in that number.  However, there are no known drugs for the Nipah virus or Disease X.  It is estimated that there are 1.67 million unknown viruses, and over 800 thousand could affect humans and animals.

In the 1300s, there was the Black Death; up to 200 million died.  In 1918 the Spanish Flu killed twice as many people as WWI, with estimates of up to 100 million.  The Plague of Justinian, believed to be the same bacteria as the Black Death, took over 100 million in 541 and 542 AD.  HIV/AIDs has taken more than 35 million lives since 1981.  The Third Plague (Bubonic) struck China in 1855 and spread, killing over 15 million.  Add to that mix Ebola, SARS, MERS, Rift Valley Fever, and now COVID, and you see our history of deadly viruses. 

What that says to me is not only the diabolical nature of some humans but our need to become totally dependent upon God and return to Him.  I believe that much more dire diseases, pandemics, and disasters are coming. Some of them will transpire naturally without man’s interference in genetics.  Others will be the result of a diabolical plan to control mankind.  In America, we have exorcised God from the public and many of our lives, and when we did, we hung out the open for business and welcome sign to the evil of the satanic.  Dismiss that if you choose, but I believe GOD is our only real hope. 

If we will return to God and make 2 Chronicles 7:14 a cornerstone of our daily lives, I believe we can see divine intervention.  If we do not, we will see plagues, famines, and disasters of epic proportions transpire shortly. I have written a much too-long article, but I am concerned about what is happening and the abject idiocy of our world, especially in politics.  The question of What, When, Where, and Why may not be answerable, but I believe manipulated disaster is coming! 

God bless you, and God bless America!
