It is beyond absurd to insist that a nation can remain a sovereign nation without borders and boundaries (laws).  The present situation in the United States of America should be deeply concerning to every freedom-loving person here and around the world. 

The decades-long quest to eradicate our southern border and relegate us to subservience to some global entity, such as the United Nations, is bearing fruit.  Illegal migrants (not immigrants) are overrunning us.  It is difficult to view this influx of illegals as migration rather than an invasion.  The damage to our republic, the cost to our citizens, and the strain on our system of government, healthcare, and economy are astronomical.

I know there are groups doing humanitarian work, such as ‘Doctors Without Borders’ and I commend them for their efforts.  However, it is impossible to extend that to nations and retain any semblance of sovereignty as a nation or a republic. 

Yes, we are, in a measure, citizens of the world, but we have not yet become, and I pray we never become, a globally governed world.  I pray that we resist the diatribe, rhetoric, spin, and ideology that suggests that if we were to become One, as in ‘One World Government,’ we would have peace, equity, and equality.  That is indefensible on so many levels that it requires no discourse.

America has been transformed into a ‘Welfare State.’  When you couple that with the desire and attempt to make us a borderless nation where there is unlimited and unvetted immigration, you have a recipe for disaster.  You have a formula for the destruction of the nation.  That may not be what the Leftists desire, although it is what they have expressed, but that is what their agenda is producing.

The Heritage Foundation has referred to the conditions in America as the beginnings of a “Transfer State.”  By that, they argue that the policy of taxing the upper and middle class and then transferring or redistributing that to lower economic classes via subsidies and entitlements is a recipe for the death of the Republic.  I agree.

Today, some following this trend contend, as does the Heritage Foundation, that it takes one college-educated family’s entire net tax payments (taxes paid minus benefits received) to pay for the net benefits received by one low-skill immigrant or migrant family.  The one-to-one ratio is sustainable in the short run but unstainable when the ratio transitions to a financially solvent family supporting multiple other families.  Only so much money can be extracted from the taxpayers before the bubble bursts.

We are told that the number of illegals at the southern border in December 2023 exceeded 300,000.  If we extrapolate that to twelve months (one year), it would be 3.6 million.  That is more than the current population of every American city except Los Angeles and New York City.  How long can that continue before there is a collapse economically, morally, societally, and politically?

The unfortunate reality and inconvenient truth is that those numbers only include the detected or encountered.  How many were undetected, ignored, or not included in the numbers offered?  I suggest that what is being reported is likely the tip of the iceberg, not the iceberg.

I have seen shocking projections as to the actual cost of each illegal or migrant per day.  Some reports, such as those from NYC, show that it has exceeded $400.  How long can that continue?  We are aware of the illusional Governor of California’s plan to provide free health care insurance to every illegal.  That program alone costs over $4,000 for each adult, discounting the number of children.  That is what a borderless nation looks like, and the handwriting is on the wall with ‘Icabod’ written over the doorposts.  Unsustainable!

The explosion of our insane national debt and deficit has produced what appears to be an unstoppable downward spiral economically that can only result in a Great Depression type of collapse.  We are borrowing astronomical sums to pay the interest on our debt.  Anyone with even a 3rd-grade understanding of economics knows it is unsustainable.  Is that the plan? 

But, if you are in trouble at the polls and need to revitalize your voting bloc and base, you have to buy or manufacture votes wherever you can or by any means.  Few are willing to bite the hand that feeds them, and if the Left is successful in obligating the illegals and then enabling them to vote, what do you think the result will be?  It will not be a sustained Republic but a borderless gathering of people with no national loyalty or sense of duty. 

We have a border crisis, but the Democrats are incapable of acknowledging it.  They cannot!  If they were to acknowledge it, they would reveal that their policies are unworkable and detrimental to the Republic and our American dream.

They blame everything but themselves for the out-of-control southern border.  Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently regurgitated the rhetoric that the problem was caused by ‘Climate Change.’  Seriously, that is what he said.  He offered his go-to phrase, “It’s a challenge.”  It is, but it should not be.  It can be resolved and managed much better under the previous administration.

Of the massive numbers encountered, we have discovered that only 142,580 illegals were deported in 2023.  Wait?  We have millions encountered, and a paltry number was actually deported.  Why?  We are told that there is a three-million-case backlog.  That is beyond belief.  That is not necessary, but it allows them to catch and release as many as they desire.  That is not sustainable for America to remain a Republic.

I heard Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez say that to ‘fix’ the problem, we simply have to ‘document the undocumented people.’  I have no doubt that was code for ‘blanket amnesty.’  The proponents of an open border argue that for humanitarian purposes, we have to keep the border open because those coming are ‘seeking a better life than where they were born.’

The Puritans came to America not for economic reasons but for religious freedom.  They came with a willingness to work and create a society where everyone could worship freely.  I do not question that the illegals are seeking a ‘better life,’ especially when ‘better’ means freebies with no responsibilities.  I guess some would call that better.  I call it being a leach.

The open border invites the influx of deadly drugs, human trafficking, and terrorism.  That is truly poisoning our country and must be addressed.  If we do not deal with the border, we will lose our Republic.  That is why I and others who love freedom are sounding the alarm daily, trying to inform, warn, educate, and encourage others to take up the gauntlet and fight for freedom.

Every election is critical, but the 2024 elections may well, and I believe will, determine the fate and future of America.  We must do what is required, legally, morally, ethically, and civilly, to retake, restore, and retain our Constitutional Republic. 

I encourage you to pray fervently, study diligently, work tirelessly, and become involved in the fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom.  America’s future is in our hands! 

God bless you, and God bless America!

I suppose that you can now officially list me among those who believe in a coming economic collapse.  I believe that the U.S. dollar is going to collapse.  I believe that the economy will tank into oblivion, leaving millions in America and people worldwide in financial ruin. 

I do not believe it is ‘if’ but ‘when’ this will transpire.  With the insatiable appetite for spending, deficit, and debt, a collapse is imminent and guaranteed on our present course in the United States.  Our path is unsustainable, according to the estimation of virtually all economic forecasters, and it seems to be a planned destruction. 

I do not know how anyone can assume that the United States government can continue its unbridled spending.  It is incomprehensible that the Federal Reserve can continue printing money, making our currency more and more worthless.  It is impossible to comprehend how anyone can think that entitlement programs and wasteful spending can continue without dire results. 

Those feeding at the government trough of entitlements seem to believe that the Golden Goose of the Nanny State Federal Government has an endless supply of money and that printing money at an insane rate is not a problem.  It is more than a minor problem!  It is a disaster waiting to happen.  It is just a matter of time.

Some tell me this will not happen because the world’s power brokers will not allow it to happen because they would be hurt.  If you genuinely believe they have not hedged their bets, you are living in Wonderland and should see the Tin Man any moment now.  Okay, maybe that was a bit too harsh, but I do believe they have covered their bets.

I believe that the money people of the world will make money if the U.S. dollar remains or if it goes by the wayside.  I believe that it is just a matter of when it becomes economically, politically, nationally, and internationally profitable to them. 

We are virtually, if not literally, owned by other countries, the money and power brokers of the world.  If they deem it in the interest of their power, profit, and position to destroy the U.S. dollar, it is gone. 

We have reached or are dangerously close to the point of no return.  If we do not reign in this spending and debt train, we will see what Willard Cantelon, a preacher, wrote about decades ago.  He authored a book called ‘The Day The Dollar Dies’, and many believed it theoretically but not practically. 

That is the same way that many believe the prophecies of the Bible.  It will happen, not to them or their lifetime, thus there will be no real change in practices or lifestyles.  Well, some generations will see the fulfillment of the prophecies and the collapse of the World Economy.  The only question is which generation.

I read a report by one economist that said the talk of hyperinflation regarding the British pound and the U.S. dollar should be viewed not if it happens but in hindsight that it has already happened.  He cited disturbing statistics.   He contended that if you bought a house for $20,000 in 1913 using U.S. dollars, you would need $1 Million in today’s dollars.  

If that is accurate or even remotely accurate, we look at a devaluation rate of 98.5% to 99.5% of the British pound and the U.S. dollar.  The problem is exasperated by the thought that if we are already there, where do we go to salvage either? 

The Federal Government has been planning to take your money, including your retirement accounts, and redistribute it to themselves, not struggling people.  The government shutdowns or slowdowns are not about people but about power. 

If the government does not continue operating at the current or escalated rate, the lobbyists, consultants, and special interests will not get what they want.  The legislators will not continue to become more powerful and wealthy individually. It is never about us but about them!  There would be ample funds to help the genuinely needy and perform the government’s actual constitutional duties if it were not for the incredible excess and waste that we have today in government. 

If you charge much more than you bring in, you will discover in a very short time that you are insolvent. If you are barely paying the interest on your debt, you have a severe problem.   If that continues to the point that the interest is more than you bring, you have a complete economic collapse and are destroyed financially.  The Federal Government is operating that way, so what is different?  Absolutely Nothing!

Based on what I see politically, nationally, internationally, and biblically, I fully believe a crash of epic proportions is just around the corner.  I am deeply concerned about what I see happening.  If or when it happens, the headlines will read: “Panic in the Streets,” “Rioting and Looting Rampant,” “Chaos and Anarchy in America,” and many other descriptive headlines. 

Hunger and fear will drive people to looting, murder, and viciousness beyond anything most can fathom.  I believe that we are in more danger economically in America than through a direct military-type attack, and we are very much in danger of that due to our porous borders, incredibly inept foreign policy, and attention to terrorism. 

My message will not cheer you up, but I will tell you now that if you can take steps to ‘hedge your bet’ financially against the decreasing and dying dollar.  More importantly, I urge everyone to look to God because He is our only real hope! I believe that unless God sustains us, we perish as a free republic and economically. 

I believe this time will also be one of the greatest times of revival at the same time the world experiences cataclysmic evil and trouble.  I want to be on God’s side when it comes. I call to mind the words of Jesus, “Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” We must do what we know to do, resist fear, and become completely reliant on God, which will enable us to live without fear!

This government has demonstrated its lack of trustworthiness, and I do not just mean the Obama administration.  We have a very small window of opportunity and chance, to hopefully reclaim our nation!  Although I believe there are disastrous economic times coming, I also believe God’s Promises to “Supply All our Needs According to His Riches in Glory!” DO NOT FEAR!

God bless you, and God bless America!

Let us consider several of our current taxes and then compare what the Bible says regarding that issue and see how valid our tax structure for a biblical perspective.   You may or may not agree with my analysis and interpretation.  That is your right and privilege. 

Capital Gains Tax

This tax is a tax on profits and penalizes a person more the more successful that person is.  The more profit you make, the more tax you pay.  Does the Bible speak on that subject?  I am glad you asked because the answer is YES! 

In Matthew 25:14-20 and Luke 19:12-27, the parable of the talents and the minas directly conflict with the principle of a “Capital Gains Tax.”  The Bible says: “For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.”  The Bible implies that those who do well in investments will be given more, not penalized for doing well.  I ask who is right, God or the Government?

Wage Tax

We only have to go to the parable of the landowner in Matthew 20:1- 16 to address this.  The landowner hires workers at different times of the day and pays each worker the same wage at the end.  The workers complained, and the landowner said, “Did you not agree with me for a denarius?  Take what is yours and go your way.  I wish to give to the last man the same as to you.  Is it not lawful for me to do what I choose with my own money?”  

The implication is that the landowner had the right to offer whatever he chose, and the workers could accept or reject that.  James 5:4 gives us the balance that God hears the cries of laborers who are cheated out of their wages.  Taxes, in my view, unfairly cheat workers out of a portion of their wages.  You may disagree.

Income Taxes

Our current tax structure is a progressive tax: the more a person makes, the more they pay in taxes.  That contradicts scripture, specifically Exodus 30:11- 15, which provided a “half shekel” tax for EVERYONE, rich or poor.  Verse 15 says, “The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel.” 

The Bible does not apply taxes nor the tithe progressively but equally. Ten percent is across the board, not a higher percentage the more you make.

Inheritance Taxes

In my view, it is a real stinger because this is a tax on money already being taxed, and the Bible speaks emphatically about inheritance.  In Proverbs 13:22, we find God’s view: “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” 

The inheritance tax can take up to 55% of an estate, and if Democrats and some Republicans have their way, it will become an even greater percentage.  That will leave the heirs 45% or less.  Then, when they pass on the inheritance, their heirs are taxed again on their 45%.  That sounds like legalized theft to me.

Ezekiel 46:18 says, “The prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property.” 

These are only a few. There is more scripture to back up what I am suggesting.

Therefore, we have allowed the government to go far beyond the biblical and moral boundaries in taxing people.  The government’s insatiable appetite will never be satisfied, and it is up to us to put an end to their feeding frenzy.  They need to be weaned and allowed only that which meets biblical specifications and forced to live within their means. 

We can make this happen, but it will require unity not yet attained and commitment not yet visible for it to become a reality.   We need to remember these things in every election.  Our freedom, future, and Republic depend on it.

God bless you, and God bless America!

I readily acknowledge several possible ways to achieve the goal, some of which I do not endorse at this time.  I want to take the most peaceful and legal means possible to save and restore the Constitutional Republic called the United States of America.  I want to see it function within the bounds, limits, and guidelines of the American Constitution, not the United Nations Charter.  I want America back and lay blame at the feet of both parties in a very large measure.

I believe the politicians have ‘stolen’ our Republic from us for their own political purposes and agendas.  I believe that their quest and thirst for power, in the name of helping the people, has resulted in the complete shredding of the American Constitution to the point that it is no longer working as it was designed.  The courts have aided in this travesty.  The Executive and Legislative Branches have been major culprits in this assault on our American Constitution and, thereby, the Republic our Founding Fathers established and handed down to us. 

How do we SAVE the republic?  That is a most interesting question and one that requires a significant amount of thought and weighing options to come to a definitive answer.  Another question might be, can we save the republic?  That depends on where we turn for our solution to the problem.

Congress is not the answer, so where do we turn?  Mark Levin and others have hit on what may well be the only hope we have of saving the Republic.  I see their idea as possible but fraught with inherent danger. But, for the sake of argument, let me present their idea.

Mr. Levin bases his argument on Article V of the American Constitution. He proposes that we seek to get two-thirds of the State Legislatures to call for a Convention to Propose Amendments to the United States Constitution.  The proposed amendments would then have to be ratified by three-fourths of the states to become valid. 

I agree that we cannot depend on the U.S. Congress, President, or Supreme Court to restore the Constitution, so the individual states are possibly our only hope.  Are there enough State Legislatures willing to adopt this idea?  I do not know, as we have failed in previous attempts.

I hope that in a very short time, enough people will see this President’s lawlessness and the perpetual dangers that, if not stopped, could lead to a Tyrannical State.  If that happens, then we might get something done peacefully and legally.  We can hope!

People, not politicians, will ultimately be the answer.  It is only as the people within the nation rise up in sufficient numbers, either electing or sending fear into the hearts of elected officials, to cause them to respond.  That is an easier accomplishment on a state level than a national one. 

The State Legislators are frequently more attuned to the people’s wishes and more likely to respond to pressure than National Legislators.  There is an infectious disregard for our wishes on the Washington scene, so those in Congress seem to be inoculated, isolated, and insolated with regard to our voices and desires.  That has to change, and the only way it will change is by taking drastic steps to amend the present Constitution and restore power to the States and, thereby, the people.

We desire a republic, not a tyrannical, despotic regime.  The only way we can have that is to take power from them.  I do not just identify Democrats in that statement but Republicans and Independents in Washington as well.  They have and are virtually all guilty of destroying our Constitutional Republic and should be held accountable and stripped of their power ASAP.

It will be God, not man, who ultimately determines if we will have a Republic and keep it or lose the nation.  Therefore, I believe we should work as if everything depended on us and pray as if (and it does) depend on God. 

I have for some time been committed to intercession for the nation.  In doing that, I pray for the leaders that God will guide their decisions, touch their hearts, and bring them to the light of right and truth!  I do not pray for the success of agendas clearly outside the scope of Scripture or not in the best interest of the American Republic and its people.  I cannot do that!  I must speak up, speak out, stand up, and stand firm in hopes of seeing the Republic restored to its Constitutional mode of operation.

I suggest that each one research the possible avenues to save the Republic.  If you believe one is viable, your elected State Representative, Senator, and all other State officials who might be an aide in attempting to save the Republic.  I, like you, want to see our Republic saved and our Constitution honored and followed.  We may not agree on how to accomplish that, but hopefully agree on that objective.

May God bless you, and may God bless America!

No, I am not advocating that we all join the WOKE movement, but that we wake up, face reality and the facts, and determine that it is high time we did something to rectify this situation in America.  The how and when may be an issue, but hopefully, we can all agree that Now is the Time!

In some scenarios, having a short memory is an asset and even a godly trait, but in many areas, it is detrimental.  Someone said, “The worst part of short memories is, not only are those who possess the same are typically unaware of the shortcoming, but this shortcoming makes them easy to distract.”  That is a lot to chew on, but it contains some succulent tidbits.

I love history and have a reasonably long memory.  I have studied human behavior for several decades and can remember when politicians and media outlets attempted to violate the American people’s rights and freedoms as enemies of freedom. 

Sadly, today, the nefarious political elitists and adherents to various ideologies are doing just that with amazing impunity.  Often with a ‘ho-hum’ from the public and frequently relegating it to “That’s what politicians do.”  Seriously?  Are we willing to allow them to do what they stereotypically do simply because they stereotypically do it?  I cannot accept that.  Freedom is too valuable!

We are inundated with so much false information or misinformation that it is difficult to decipher the truth.  Many voices clamoring for our attention today mix an element of truth in their pile of lies and present it as the absolute truth not to be questioned.  I have concluded that any candidate that both sides of the political aisle devotedly seek to destroy might be worthy of our consideration.  We know the elitist political establishment is not our friend, so if they have enmity toward a candidate, I will carefully consider that candidate.

I read an interesting article about the Associate Press question: “What is the first word that comes to mind when you hear Joe Biden?”  Like some previous administrations, this one is invested in ‘optics.’ Nothing good comes to mind.  I saw words such as outdated, senile, dementia, diabolical, crazy, tyrannical, and deviant used to answer the question.  I considered the first word that came to my mind when I heard him.  Some of the most prominent are corrupt, sexual deviant, evil, and lost filled my consciousness. 

The AP poll listed Old/Outdated/Retire/Elderly/Aging/Senile/Dementia as taking the top spot.  The second place went to Slow/Confused/idiot/Ignorant/Sleepy/Gaffe/Bumbling.  The third spot was Generally Negative (bad/terrible/disappointing/joke/profanity.)  Most view him negatively, but he is occupying the Oval Office and wreaking havoc on our system of government, economy, and lives.

We have information released by the National Archives (NARA) that they possess about 5,400 emails and records linked to President Joe Biden’s email aliases.  He has used, “Robert Peters,” Robin Ware,” and “JRB Ware.”  Those were used to share government information and discuss business with Hunter Biden and associates.  Imagine that!  But he knew and knew nothing of Hunter’s deals there, right?  Yeah, the moon is made of green cheese, and the unicorns and flying pigs in my backyard eat from it daily.

The Southeastern Legal Foundation said, “All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for personal or political benefit.  When they do, many seek to hide it.”  The foundation’s general counsel said, “The only way to preserve governmental integrity is for the NARA to release Biden’s nearly 5,400 emails. The American people deserve to know what is in them.”  We do, but this is not a new tactic.  We witnessed it with Hillary and Obama, as well as others.  Will we ever know?  Not if they can help it.

Joe Biden has insisted that an impenetrable wall exists between his family’s foreign schemes and his duties as Vice President.  What should be unfortunate for him is the massive amount of evidence reveals that the impenetrable wall was a superhighway of access. 

His use of ‘Robert Peters’ is troubling because it is highly unusual for a government official to use an obscure government network with an alias.  That gives the imagery of impropriety even if it was not improper.  Former Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Kash Patel, told Breitbart News, “Hillary’s home-brew ain’t got nothing on Robert Peters government funded money laundering operation.”  He said, “Joe Biden used taxpayer dollars while serving as Vice President to set up an ‘offshore’ style email server based in the White House.”  It was to route all his emails regarding his and Hunter’s business dealings with the Chinese, Ukrainians, and others away from public scrutiny.

The alias ‘Robert Peters’ has a “@pci.gov” domain name.  PCI represents the Executive Office of the President and is connected to a Department of Defense network.  Interesting!  It encompasses the Secret Service, Executive Office of the President, National Security Staff, and White House Communications Agency (WHMO).  That is according to the White House Communications Agency (WHCA).  Something smells fishy!

Another troubling revelation has been the $1 billion land purchases by a mysterious company near a California Air Force base.  Since 2018, a group called “Flannery Associates” has invested more than $800 million on 54,000 acres of agriculture-zoned land surrounding the Travis Air Force base in Solano County, California.  The questions are: Why and who are they? 

The land purchases are on three sides of the base, and that is a national security concern.  Regardless of where the money comes from for these purchases, the issue of security for the base is a major concern.  The group spent five years secretly and with strong-arm techniques to secure the land.  Why?  Where is the Biden administration in this matter?  Not a peep!

The climate change activists, including some Democrat members of Congress, insisted that the Hawaii fires were the direct result of climate change.  However, we have discovered that the Hawaiian Electric Company acknowledged that downed power lines started the fires.  The attempt to force through Climate Change Legislation over a man-caused disaster is another evidence of how diabolical or delusional our officials have become.

Vice President Kamala Harris admitted something damaging to the Biden spin on the benefits of Bidenomics.  She spoke about the cost of getting an abortion and said, “Most Americans are a $400 unexpected expense away from bankruptcy.”  That does not sound like Bidenonmics is working favorably, but He is a donkey, and donkeys cannot be wrong, right?

A recent Morning Consult survey found that in the third quarter, only 46% of Americans could cover a $400 unexpected expense without going into debt.  That is not quite the same as what she said, but it is still bad.  Bidenomics is hurting all socioeconomic levels and all ethnicities.

America, if we want America to remain a Free Constitutional Republic, we must Wake Up and Do Something!

God bless you, and God bless America!

Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are diametrically opposed to Karl Marx’s utopian ideals and his philosophy of placing the state above man.  The original ten amendments to the Constitution place limits on the federal government’s power and bestow irrevocable rights to the citizens.  These rights are critically important today because, as I write, those in leadership are working behind the scenes and sometimes openly to forfeit our national sovereignty to a world body, namely the United Nations.

Men like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison realized that the Constitution granted power to the Central Government, but the rights of those governed were not sufficiently addressed.  To rectify that, they composed Ten Rights that were amendments to the Constitution and became known as our “Bill of Rights.”

However, I never cease to be amazed at how few people have ever read them, remember reading them, or know what they are.  Let me be blunt; you can only expect to be granted your Constitutional Rights if you know what they are.  How can you argue for or against them if you do not know what they are? 

So, please take the time to read this short listing of the “Bill of Rights”:

First Amendment:  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof, abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Second Amendment:  A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Third Amendment:  No Soldier shall, in time of peace, be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Fourth Amendment:  The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.

Fifth Amendment:  No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Sixth Amendment:  In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have Assistance of Counsel for his defense.

Seventh Amendment:  In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of common law.

Eighth Amendment:  Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted.

Ninth Amendment:  The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Tenth Amendment:  The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

How many of these rights do we still have today?  How many are we in danger of losing with this Administration?  We are in a crisis and at a crossroads in America, and it is up to each of us individually to stand up, speak up, and Vote! 

Our vote in every election expresses to everyone observing what we desire politically.  If we want to see it completely destroyed, then either do not vote or vote for the followers of toxic anti-American liberalism. 

Let us all pull together and work together to see America have the opportunity for restoration!  God bless you, and God bless America!

I am concerned that a large swath of our citizens in America are living in a cocoon, governmentally and socially.  Some are so politically secluded in their mythological bubble that they believe Joe Biden is pure as the driven snow.  That or they believe that since most, if not all, politicians have dirt on their hands, their misgivings are easily forgivable and even acceptable.  That is a bubble or a cocoon that will render the resident dumber than a box of rocks politically.

How could anyone living today be ignorant of the questionable character and ethics of the Biden family?  I agree with someone who said, “The very fact that 30% or more of those polled believe that Biden is doing a good job as president means that Idiocracy is the new normal in America.”   I do not think that is possible without believing that the average IQ in America has plunged below zero.  But it makes perfect sense if you live in a societal, political, and ideological cocoon.  You are oblivious to reality, and your reality is only the things allowed inside your ‘safe space environment.’ 

It makes sense if one believes what is reported on the major news networks, the rhetoric and spin of the politicians and activists.  If you watch programs like ‘The View’ and devotedly cling to your toxic liberal ideology, then I understand your fallacious belief that Biden is not corrupt. 

Before, you charge, “Well, Trump is corrupt too.”  Even if that were proven true, when did two wrongs make a right?  The fact that we have had a person in the White House for over three years who is more than suspected of corruption, but that corruption has been evidenced, demands our attention.  The two-tiered justice of today is destructive and should not be tolerated.

If you live in your cocoon, you are likely to believe things that are illogical scientifically, morally, ethically, politically, and even biblically.  The bubble or cocoon that has become the habitation of the snowflakes and left-leaning ideologues is nefarious and will prove to be deadly societally.

Let me suggest that there are some truths that need to be advanced, proclaimed, and taught.  You will be persecuted, attacked, and become one deemed unworthy of breathing the air of our atmosphere if you advance them.  Social media will ban you, and the agencies of the federal government Gestapo may target you.  But, if you believe in freedom and are willing to embrace truth, then you need to know and advance them.

Let me give you a short list of things the cocoon residents cannot grasp.

• There are only two genders – male and female.  You may have surgery, take hormones, and do other things attempting to violate that reality, but the chromosomes will not change, and you will still be what you were born.
• There was Mass Fraud in the 2020 Election.  I do not care if you like or dislike Trump; the fraud was so blatant that a blind man could see it.
• Al Gore and those of his ilk are becoming filthy rich by advancing Climate Change.  I would suggest a book by a genuine scientist to help see the truth – “Fake Catastrophes and Threats of Doom.”
• The 2020 Antifa Riots were organized and orchestrated by a left-wing billionaire, and the adherents and participants looted their way into infamy.  They convinced cities to defund the police who were commissioned to protect them. 
• There are extremist groups on both sides of the political aisle, but those on the right love America, and those on the left consider our Republic anathema.

Our present condition has drifted beyond hypocrisy.  The narcissism of the followers of toxic liberalism is deeply disturbing and incredibly revealing.  They seem to believe that Americans’ memories are so short or disconnected that we will not remember their antics, activities, and destruction.  Are they right?  The 2024 elections will tell us.

The left is up in arms over the potential impeachment hearings against Joe Biden but was onboard with impeaching Trump over anything and everything.  Donald Trump was impeached in 2019, corresponding with his reelection campaign.  It was immediately following his being cleared of wrongdoing in the almost two-year and $40 million special counsel Russian collusion hoax.  That was justifiable, but to touch Biden or a Democrat is heresy and diabolical to them.

The Trump children and supporters do not and did not have the luxury to ignore Congressional subpoenas.  Peter Navarro and Steven Bannon found out the hard way that a person on the right is not allowed to do what Hunter Biden has done and refuse to testify.   When Trump defends his kids, he is hiding corruption, but when Biden defends Hunter, he is simply a father who loves his son.  That is beyond hypocritical.

In the not-too-distant past, Whistleblowers were deemed courageous and noble souls.  But those who have dirt or raise concerns about the Biden family and those on the Left that are lower than a snake’s belly and the scum of the earth.  How dare anyone question the integrity of Joe (The Big Guy) Biden?

I remember the hoopla by the Left when alleged whistleblower Eric Ciaramella, moled his way into the Trump campaign and without firsthand knowledge of Trump’s phone conversation with Ukrainian president Zelensky testified of Trump’s guilt.  Add to that mix Ukrainian expatriate Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman, who was on the call as a Trump national security team member.  Vindman broke the law and disclosed the classified call.

He was apparently infuriated and deemed Trump too harsh on his native Ukraine, so he informed Ciaramella of the call.  They met privately with Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) to engineer an impeachment proceeding.  Vindman and Ciaramella were canonized as patriotic saints in the effort to bring Trump down.

Today, whistleblowers against the Left are demonized and targeted by various governmental agencies, including the Infernal Revenue Service, I mean the Internal Revenue Service.  Those whistleblowers face social, financial, political, and societal destruction for their willingness to blow the whistle and alert to corruption.

America, if we hope to save the Republic, we must deal with corruption wherever it is found.  We must demand that politicians follow the Constitution.  We must insist that judges refrain from political activism.  We must return to our moral, ethical, and spiritual moorings that enabled this nation to become the great nation it has been.  We can do this, but only if we return to God and unite to fight corruption.

God bless you, and God bless America!

I have been thinking about and have embarked on a research project posed by the question: “Have we experienced a paradigm shift in society from morality to personality?”  I believe that the question is germane to the discussion and consideration of almost everything humans face and experience today.  If this has happened, it has occurred in the political, social, relational, economic, spiritual, and political worlds. 

Are there any examples of it that we can hang our hats on?  Is there any evidence that suggests that such a shift has happened?  What are we discussing in a ‘paradigm shift from morality to personality’?  I cannot answer all those questions but will attempt to identify only some of what set me on this journey. 

I believe that I saw a significant shift in the American paradigm a couple of administrations ago.  What caused me to ask this question and embrace this thought while observing the relational, entertainment and sports communities was the ‘cult-like’ following that Barack Obama received that made me question our society on this front.  It has continued with various activist groups and politically correct agendas poured upon us.

When people begin to adopt ‘cult-like’ worship and following of a person or ideology, they cannot see the flaws of the individual or ideology.  The kinks in the armor become so inconsequential that they are ignored or dismissed.  Mr. Obama, Mr. Biden, and a myriad of others have been the beneficiaries.  Mr. Obama was granted godlike status even when he advanced policies that are diametrically opposite of the belief of most in the Christian Faith. Yet, many followers of Christ followed Mr. Obama and supported him unquestioningly. 

I have observed preachers who embrace the progressive revisionism of today’s leftist political ideology. That stance is an affront to what they preach and write about.  Yet, the morality they call for in sermons and print takes a back seat to the personality of the candidate and the ideology they endorse.  There can be any number of reasons for this phenomenon.  I believe that it goes beyond race or gender and demands the question, “Have we had a paradigm shift from morality to personality?”

Some have examined this from the perspective of “moral hypocrisy” and “moral inconsistency” to explain where we are and the condition of the human heart and thought.  There is some validity in those arguments.  We are seeing a tremendous amount of moral hypocrisy and inconsistency in today’s political world. 

Most of us have heard or been told, ‘Practice what you preach,’ and that has been the foundational definition of hypocrisy.  Most are put off when anyone ‘says one thing and does another’ or, as the old saying goes, ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’  We view that as hypocritical and correct.   Politicians are notorious for that; most dismiss it because we ‘expect’ politicians to be hypocritical regarding campaign promises.

There was a time in our society when we not only expected but demanded that political figures, business leaders, and religious leaders be ‘consistent’ in their display of morality and were not swayed by their personalities.  Today, whether it is sports figures, movie stars, entertainers, or political figures, we seem to be far less concerned about ‘morality’ than we are about ‘personality.’  Could that result from a paradigm shift in our society where ‘morality’ is of lesser worth today than a charismatic personality that can be worshipped to some degree?

I saw a study (I do not recall who did the study) where a group of individuals were given the option of flipping a coin to decide upon assigning particular tasks to themselves or an unknown person. 

It turned out that about half of the participants opted for the coin flip, but when the results were tabulated, 90% of those who flipped the coin reported that they received favorable tasks for themselves.  That was the same percentage as those who arbitrarily made the decision.  That is suggestive that those who opted for the coin flip skewed the results seeking to ‘appear fair’ but, in reality, were being hypocritical.  That is true in the political world today and is alarming. 

Yet, because it seems we have made a paradigm shift from morality to personality when the president or some other political figure opts for that ‘apparent fairness ’ when fairness is not even part of the equation, they receive ‘cult-like’ approval.  The personality rises far above morality, and the hypocrisy is ignored.

If I am right and we have made a paradigm shift from morality to personality (identity politics) in our society, we are in deep trouble as a people, a nation, and a world.  As a Christian, this is deeply troubling to me because I see it not just in the political but in every facet of society, including the Church.  I pray to God that I am wrong!

May God be with you, and may God bless America again!

With the outrageous redefining of terms, one must wonder what words mean today.  I suppose it depends on the environment and the people to whom they are being spoken.  Words that were innocuous decades ago are not termed evidence of a phobic condition needing immediate reeducation or eradication.

If you disagree with the followers of toxic liberalism, you are a phobe.  You are worse than Genghis Khan or Jeffery Dahmer if you use non-threatening terms of bygone eras.  You are on equal footing with Lucifer of the Bible and unworthy of the air you breathe.

If I believe that the religion of Islam is not peaceful, I am deemed to be Islamophobic, but if they trash Christianity, they are within their rights.  If I believe in traditional marriage between one man and one woman, I am deemed to be homophobic, but if they criticize my beliefs, they are considered heroic and brave.  If I do not want my grandchildren or any children to be exposed to things that would harm their psyche, I am a transphobe, but if they attack my position, they are within their rights and misunderstood. 

What do words mean?  The use of the race card and the term racist is almost meaningless today because it is one-sided.  If you do not kowtow to the demands of Antifa or BLM, you are a racist.  If you question the wisdom of allowing the border to be eradicated, you are a xenophobe and unfeeling to the needs of those less fortunate.

I have been informed that I am deemed a White Supremacist because I am a Caucasian male who is a Christian and conservative.  Joseph Goebbels said, “The bigger the lie, said often enough, becomes truth.”  Words have meaning, but they must also be taken in context.  Words taken out of context can be twisted to mean anything. 

Demonization is a tactic used by the followers of today’s toxic liberal ideology.  Demonization seeks to define the person being attacked as being diabolically evil.  The objective is to delegitimize the person and their position.  It is to disallow any dissent and views freedom of speech and thought anathema.

The Bible is deemed to be hate speech by those on the Left who seek to remove any biblical influence from the public square.  If you quote the Bible, you are thought to be overcome by some phobic condition and are a member of the society of deplorables. 

I cannot avoid the feelings of dismay over those in America celebrating the terrorism conducted by Hamas.  The slaughter of innocent children, babies, and women is unconscionable and should be loudly condemned by all.  Some of those celebrating also insist that there was no Holocaust, and that Hitler was simply a leader advancing a philosophy that was in the best interest of his country.  That is astounding!

There is a video of CAIR Executive Directory Nihad Awad celebrating the terrorism of October 7^th.  He said, “I was happy to see the people of Gaza break the siege on October 7; they were victorious; the people of Gaze have the right to self-defense – Israel does not.”  What?  To launch an attack and brutally murder, rape, behead people while destroying property is laudable but to respond is untenable?  That is beyond lunacy. 

Words are important, which is what the Constitution comprises – WORDS!   Words with specific meaning and intent were used to formulate the system of government defined in that document.  Therefore, when the judicial nominee of Joe Biden, Sara E. Hill, pledged to “ignore” Oklahoma’s abortion laws and blatantly lied about it to Congress, we have a problem.

For example, when Ms. Hill was questioned by the Senate, Senator Kennedy (R-LA) asked her to explain the difference between a “stay order” and an “injunction.”   She could not answer the question and finally responded, “I’m not sure that I actually can give you the – uh – that.”  Wow!   Those words have specific meanings, and any law student completing the first year of law school knows the answer. 

We are so steeped in identity politics and activism that our courts are almost meaningless and are rapidly becoming nothing more than political arms advancing an agenda.  That is not what our court system was designed to be, nor what we should be willing to allow.

Add to that the modification and redefining of terms we are enduring the the twisting of science for the sake of advancing a lie. That twist is endangering millions of our children.  The lie that a person is born a homosexual is advanced and believed by those of that community and some on both sides of the social, moral, and political aisle. 

I was impressed by an ex-lesbian, Robin Goodspeed’s declaration: “I was not born a homosexual. I was not ‘born that way.’  There is no scientific proof, or proof of any kind, that homosexuals are ‘born that way.”  I was sexually molested at the age of 2, and I began making choices at that age that led to a life of homosexuality.  I chose that life, and I clung desperately to the lie that I was ‘born that way’ so I would never be held accountable for my choices.” 

Walt Heyer, a former transgender, was asked if transgenders are ‘born that way.’  He said: “There is no evidence that transgenders are ‘born that way.’  There is, however, evidence that they are suffering from untreated mental disorders such as bipolar disorder, dissociative disorder, separation anxiety, schizophrenia, and personality disorder.”  

Christian minister Janet Boynes opened up about her abusive childhood and the reality that she did not fit the cookie-cutter image of what a woman should be.  She chose to become involved in lesbian relationships.  She wrote: “When I was living in homosexuality, I knew I was sinning.  The Bible told me, my conscience told me, and many people in my life told me.  Unfortunately, I also had many people telling me that what I was doing was simply a lifestyle choice and not a sin. … My own experience as a former lesbian leads me to believe that many in the homosexual community are searching for love and acceptance. …  I desperately needed to find love, to feel loved and to experience love.”

What does this have to do with words? Everything, because we seek to define terms based on what we want them to mean.  When children are inundated with theories of gender confusion, they seek to redefine male and female.  They redefine marriage. They redefine life, and in their search for something meaningful that will alleviate their confusion and frustration, they need absolute truths.   What is used to confuse the confused – Words that are redefined and reoriented to achieve an agenda.

Do words mean anything anymore?  Yes, if we are seekers of truth.  No, if we only desire to advance an ideology.  Words are useful tools to reveal the truth and equally useful to advance misinformation and lies.   I pray that we will return to rational sanity in this world.  Without God, we are like rudderless ships on a raging sea.

God bless you, and God bless America!
