AMERICA, AMERICA, WHEREFORE ART THOU?


The America I knew in my early years and the America of our Founding Fathers seems to be a distant memory.  Things are transpiring in our American political system that we would have thought impossible just a few years ago.  Things are happening that are the characteristics of Totalitarian Regimes and Tyrannical Rule. 

Is America a Free Constitutional Republic no longer?  Have we allowed the political elitists, globalists, activists, and seekers of ‘fundamental transformation’ to prevail?  Are politicians and the public so detached from reality and sanity that the fall of our Republic is not only possible but probably?  Has the Republic already fallen? 

In my view, the modern Leftists are no longer concerned about the blatant hypocrisy in their policies and actions.  They are no longer concerned about the incredible injustice that is the fruit of their agenda.  They only care about one thing – POWER!  I acknowledge that political elitists on both sides of the aisle are desirous of that plum and willing to do anything to achieve it.  However, the Left have gone full throttle and pushed their chips to the center of the table.  They are All-In!

Recently, I was disturbed by the blatant disparity in justice and the overt targeting of anyone opposing the leftist agenda.  Two women in the 70s, Jean Marshall and Joan Bell, face up to eleven years in federal prison for blocking the entrance to an abortion clinic in 2020.  The charge is that they violated the ‘Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.’  An act that the Biden team has been actively enforcing against all pro-life activists while ignoring actions by the pro-choice activists and other Leftists. 

If I compare the possible penalty of these two women to that of the 42-year-old North Dakota man who ran over and killed an eighteen-year-old kid for being a Republican, it should be disturbing.  His sentence was five years in jail.  He was given credit for time served and will spend about four years in prison.  So, if you take the life of a conservative, you get a mild sentence, but if you seek to save the life of an unborn, you get a penalty more than double.  America, what happened to us?

You may hate Donald John Trump more than Lucifer himself, but surely you can admit that the charges against him and the absence of charges against Hillary Clinton scream hypocrisy.  If you question an election as a Democrat, it is honorable, but if you do so as a Republican, you are guilty of Treason or Insurrection.

Compare the sentences of the January 6 participants and the BLM and Antifa rioters; you again must see the incredible disparity and hypocrisy.  At least one of the January 6 participants received a 22-year sentence, but a BLM – Antifa rioter who set a deadly fire in a Minneapolis pawn shop was given ten years.  The prosecutor invoked the name of Martin Luther King, Jr. and asked the judge for leniency.  Wow!

We have the Biden administration with all the power, strength, force, and wherewithal of federal agencies protecting Hunter and Joe Biden.  Even in the light of a recent revelation that more than $250K was wired to Hunter from China, and the beneficiary address listed on the wires was Joe Biden’s home address in Delaware!  At the time of the wires, Hunter was living in California.  It smells like a rat to me, but I am a conservative; therefore, my opinion is invalid (at least to the Leftists).

I saw a poll conducted by RealClear Opinion Research that was enlightening.  74% of Republicans and 61% of Independents believe Speech should be legal “under any circumstances.”  55% of Democrats agreed.  Although that suggests that most voters want Speech to remain free, we must continue to see the accurate picture.

One-third of Democrats believe that Americans have ‘too much freedom.’  That’s right!  Too much freedom!  A majority of them approve of the government censoring social media content.  75% of them think the government has a mandate to limit ‘hateful’ posts on social media.  But hateful posts are deemed anything contrary to the Leftist’s view and ideological agenda. 

This lunacy extends far beyond the political arena, and the rabidity of the WOKE mentality is morphing clinical therapy to the point it is becoming worthless.  Have you heard of “Cultural Humility Training?”  I had not, but it is something that is being implemented for therapists and counselors. 

The proposed idea is that it will improve the skills of those mental health providers.  This stems from a philosophy that imputes compulsory collective racist guilt to white culture.  The term ‘cultural humility’ is a code word to ascribe to white culture the label of being incurably racist.  It is designed to impose guilt on white professionals, making them feel that they are collectively racists and practice an incurable obsession to oppress non-whites.  They deem that unforgivable, and no amount of repentance can attain forgiveness.  The desire is to humiliate whites and demand self-degeneration permanently.

This is an excerpt from their propaganda materials – “Culturally humble counselors are able to set aside their own beliefs and values and act as allies with clients, working toward positive personal change as well as advocating for larger societal change.”  I contend that anyone who sets aside their core beliefs and values is dangerously close to being psychopathic.

This course confuses or purposefully advances a false narrative regarding the difference between biases and values.  Biases are defined as mental limitations, whereas values are the foundation of human consciousness.  Right valuation based on unchanging truth is a powerful safeguard against bias and prejudice. 

As an example of how radically WOKE this theory is and how damaging it is to our Freedom and, any hope of finding a bridge to span the chasm of our divide is found in what should be a laughable example they offered. The author of the material suggested that the reason Irish, Italian, and German immigrant groups assimilated better than the more recent Asian and Latina groups was due to skin pigmentation. 

The author totally discounted the Irish, Italian, and German immigrants’ gratitude for being allowed to immigrate.  That gratitude propelled them to learn the language and become English-speaking patriotic citizens.  Their success was often tied to their assimilation and gratitude.  Not so, demands the author. It was simply because the earlier settlers looked at their physical image, and that racist view is the reason.  Wow!

This view insists that if you are white, you are incapable of not being an oppressor.  You will naturally commit “mocroassaults, microinsults, and microinvalidations” on those not like you!  The therapists are encouraged to have a non-white observer sit in on the sessions to watch for one of those micro-in-famines!  Are you kidding me?  Having someone sit in on the therapy session to destroy further the psyche of the person seeking help is not productive. 

America, where are you?  What happened to the ideal of the Declaration of Independence that “All are created equal and have certain inalienable rights given by God?”  What happened to recognizing that we are not all the same, but if we are Americans, we have the same rights and privileges guaranteed by the Constitution and God Himself?   If we allow this insanity to continue, America will never recover, and we will be under the thumb of the Dictatorial Tyranny of the Left. 

We can rectify this, but not without prayer and forming a united front to fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom!

God bless you, and God bless America!

BLAST FROM THE PAST…


In about 1962, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles released a song entitled “You Really Got A Hold On Me.”  Some of the lyrics are especially interesting, and I want to revisit them briefly.  Join me for a trip down memory lane or ancient history, depending on your age.

They opened with the words:  “I don’t like you, but I love you…”  The message conveyed was that the other person had such a hold on them that they could only think about the other person.  Love blinded the reality of treatment, and the confession of “I don’t like you was overpowered by, but I love you.”  

I sometimes wonder if that is not the condition of many in America today.  People Do Not Like many things that the government or political parties are doing, but they love the entitlements and utopian ideology offered.  Reality seems to take a back seat to their visualization of the concept they are presenting or maybe the personal benefit via some entitlement. Perhaps even a commitment due to race, gender, sexual preference, activism, or ideological agenda blinds our minds to reality.  Whatever many today are saying about government and government overstepping its constitutional bounds – “I don’t like you…”

The next verse says:  “I don’t want you, but I need you…”  That is possibly even more revealing about today’s world.  We do not want what is being done to our government, liberties, and freedoms, but we have the misguided impression that we Need Big Government to continue being the Golden Goose laying the Golden Eggs.  The acknowledgment in the song, “You do me wrong,” is clear, but then the offset, “My love is strong…”  Is it love or a sense of obligation, dependency, and fear of having to stand on our own?

The next verse presents an amazing declaration:  “I wanna leave you, don’t wanna stay here.  Don’t wanna spend another day here.  I wanna split now…”  That is the cry of many that I speak to about the present state of our Constitutional Republic, but then I hear the same sentiment as the song:  “I can’t quit now.  You’ve really got a hold on me.”  Once the government or anything creates a condition of dependency, we are hooked and find it virtually impossible to break free of the bondage, dependence, and lack of self-worth or value and are slaves to the system.

The cry of many can be found in the words:  “Baby, I love you, and all I want you to do is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me…”  So many live in such a state of desperation and despair that they genuinely want the government, someone, or something to care for them and show them love. 

That will never come from the government, for it is an impersonal system manipulated by professional political elitists who are interested in power, not people.  It will not come from uncaring and unloving people who use and manipulate, and it will not come from drugs, alcohol, or even money.  Real Love, compassion, and concern do not come from government, politicians, or selfish manipulators. The sooner we face that reality, the sooner we can hope to be freed from our prison of dependency.

So, what do we do?  I have discovered that abuse is the likely result when anyone becomes overly dependent upon another.  I have seen it in relationships where a woman or man develops such a dependency on another that their significance is tied to maintaining a fictional relationship and opening the door to abuse. 

Love does not abuse nor become overly dependent.  I have seen it in economics, churches, and politics, and my heart breaks for those enslaved and blinded by the need to be wanted, cared for, and loved. 

Today, I pray that God will help each one break free of that which enslaves.  May the Lord help us to learn to place our trust and confidence in Him and see reality for reality and refuse to be driven by a need that imprisons and be led by love that empowers us to become better!

Our children and grandchildren deserve better than what we are allowing to be left to them. It is time that we wake up and reclaim our Republic as we join the fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom!

God bless you, and God bless America!

FRANKLY, SCARLETT, HE DOESN’T GIVE A D#@#.


Yes, I took that line from Gone with the Wind when Clark Gable’s character Rhett Butler issued the infamous line to Vivien Leigh’s character Scarlett O’Hara.  He said, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a d…”  That is how Joe Biden and his administration feel about the Constitution and the decisions of the courts ruling against them.  They do not give a rat’s rear end because they believe they are above the law and entitled to do whatever they please.

The question is, “Are they right?”  It seems that they are so protected by the judicial and legal entities of government that they can do whatever they please.  That is a shame and a bad sign for our system of government.  If allowed to continue, our beloved America will be a memory, not a reality. 

Even though the United States Supreme Court ruled that his earlier program was illegal, they are doing an end-run around the Constitution and doing it anyway.  The new plan is designed to forgive longstanding debt by students after they have paid 20 to 25 years.  They are seeking to include late payments and payments deferred.  They do not give a hoot about what is legal or illegal.  This is a touchy issue with many, but a debt is a debt, and where we need to focus is on the gouging by the colleges and universities.

Cocaine Gate, as some have labeled it, quickly faded into the shadows even though the Secret Service acknowledged that another substance was also found.  They found both cocaine and marijuana. Marijuana was found twice before the cocaine.  So, is there a drug problem at the Biden White House?

There are 182 lockers in the foyer, and currently, locker number 40, where the cocaine was found, is missing the key.  It vanished into thin air, it seems.  There were over 500 people who went through the West Wing on the weekend when the cocaine was found, and not one was classified as a suspect.  The Secret Service wanted to close the case with no arrests or identifications.  Imagine that!  There are no logs of the lockers and no surveillance of those lockers.  That is questionable, one would think.

The Secret Service did a background check on the 500 individuals who came through that weekend. They searched for prior drug use or convictions for drugs.  What about the staffers?  Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin insisted it would be ludicrous for the Secret Service to test every potential suspect.  However, there is the acknowledgment that the standing policy for the Capitol Complex is that if drugs are found, everybody gets tested.  Why not at the White House?

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre scolded the media as “irresponsible” because someone asked if the cocaine belonged to Joe or Hunter Biden.  She insisted that the family was not there that weekend, including Friday.  Oops, somebody forgot to give her the memo that the family, including Hunter, was there on Friday before they left for the weekend.  Oh well, if they say they were not there, even if they were there, then they must not have been there, right?

Using the Secret Services explanation for closing the investigation, one has to ask, as has been asked, “What if it was ricin?”  Under their explanation, they would have no way of uncovering who brought it in.  What?  An agency with a $3 billion-a-year budget cannot solve a case that a rookie detective could unravel relatively quickly.  Does that have the aroma of ‘cover-up?’  You tell me!

Joe Biden picked the head of the Secret Service in September of last year.  Is there a connection?  She was on Biden’s security detail when Biden was the Vice President.  She was placed in that position after the Secret Service made some statements to the January 6 Committee that the administration did not like, and the chief retired soon after that.  Coincidence?  Maybe, and maybe, this move was to insulate the Bidens.   Respect the Law?  Why should because they are in control of the law?

Joe Biden, like many of the national Democrats and too many Republicans, considers, as did Barack Obama, the Constitution a nuisance.  The Biden team has used the might of the federal government to censor and suppress our Freedom of Speech and is undergoing a lawsuit by the Missouri A/G.  The Constitution bars the government from censoring; therefore, when Biden and his cohorts coerced social media outlets to do their dirty work, they violated our guiding document.  But, as I said at the outset, “Frankly, he does not give a d….”

We are watching our government become visibly a participant in what could be called institutional lying.  We reached that place due to many factors, including bureaucratic and political ineptitude and corruption.

They spin their spin and do not seem concerned that anyone might use that thing sitting on their shoulders above the neck for what was designed – THINKING.  Thomas Sowell articulately spoke to the flaws of the Affirmative Action Program and, like many of this ethnicity, believed it was demeaning to Blacks.  Sowell and many others believed it was a blight on everyone it supposedly helped.  When the government, business, or institution creates a position for anyone, not based on merit, they are saying, “You could not have achieved this success on your own.”  That is insulting to anyone with any sense of personal pride.

We have watched the federal government, mainly under the Biden administration, trample on our 1st Amendment Rights.  The censorship that transpired almost exclusively targeted conservative speech.  Anything other than the approved rhetoric and ideological speech was deemed hate speech and banned whenever and wherever possible.  That is Orwellian, and they used COVID-19 as their pathway to achieve their objective.  Never let a good crisis go to waste.  But, when they do not give a d…, what do you expect?

I have seen statistics that say that less than ten percent of Americans trust the government.  Why should they?   We are watching the unraveling of our United States as it morphs into a totalitarian cabal given rise because of state-sanctioned lies.

We are in a cultural war.  This administration and the powers behind their throne are working diligently to dismantle America.  They are using fear regarding climate change and many other divisive elements to create a paranoia that people willingly cede their inalienable rights in the hope of safety.  Benjamin Franklin spoke to that, and Ronald Reagan’s succulent words should be remembered, “The nine most terrifying words are I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”  Please do not help us; your help is destroying us!

We must return to our moral moorings and follow the prescription of 2 Chronicles 7:14. We need God’s help and take action at the polls to ensure that only candidates who will honor the Constitution and follow the Rule of Law are elected when they do not, we need to send them packing, at the earliest possible opportunity.

God bless you, and God bless America!

NO CORRUPTION, NOT EVEN A SMIDGEN, RIGHT?


That is what the Democrats, Media, FBI, CIA, HSA, IRS, and the Biden team would have us believe regarding the Biden family’s questionable activities.  I say it that way because there have been no serious convictions, so alleged is possibly the right word.  However, the preponderance of the evidence is growing larger and larger with each new revelation. 

Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Devon Archer testified that Hunter put then Vice President Joe Biden on the phone with business associates at least two dozen times.  But wait, Joe knew nothing of Hunter’s business deals, right?   In light of his cognitive condition, that still might be true, but not from a legal standpoint.

One of those meetings was in Dubai on December 4, 2015.  You remember that Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company, paid Hunter $83,000 monthly to be on their board.  Nice work if you can get it, right?  Why would they pay a man who knew virtually nothing about the energy business that kind of money?  Could it be because his father was the sitting Vice President and could grant special favors? 

It seems that Vadym Pozharski, a senior Burisma executive, phoned Hunter and said that Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, needed to speak to Hunter urgently.  Then he asked, “Can you ring your dad?”  He indicated that Burisma bigwigs needed their support.  They asked for help to shut down the criminal investigation that named Zlochevsky by name.  That is when the amazing revelation that Joe told the Ukrainian government, “I’m leaving in six hours.  If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.”  The $1 billion in foreign aid.  No corruption there, right? 

Now we are apprised that the major Democrat donor, Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, who bought Hunter’s art, was then named to a prestigious commission by Joe Biden.  Interestingly, the art industry is not subject to the Bank Secrecy Act’s (BSA) requirements, which mandate detailed procedures to prevent money laundering.  Imagine that Hunter entered a lucrative business with little scrutiny to identify possible financial wrongdoing.  No corruption, is possibly there, right?

We have been informed that the FBI tipped off the Biden team the night before Hunter faced his tax and gun probe interview.  We are told that on the day of the interview (nice, sanitized term), Federal agents were told to stand by and not approach Hunter Biden.  They had to wait for approval for higher up.  As a result, the IRS and FBI criminal investigators never got to interview Hunter Biden as a part of the investigation.  But there is no corruption to be found, right?

Most of us, if we were in Hunter’s place using drugs and possessing a Colt Cobra .38 Special, would have been indicted on federal firearms charges and sent to prison.  What did Hunter get?  What I would graciously call a slap on the wrist and told, “Bad Boy.”

Merrick Garland, the U.S. Attorney General, is extremely partisan and gave Hunter a sweetheart deal but has thrown the books at others who are conservatives or Trump supporters.  The judge rejected i. I believe it should have been incumbent upon the judge to hold up the deal until he had heard from Garland, Weiss, and the six witnesses that whistleblower Gary Shapley’s legal team had identified.  But, again, there is not even a smidgen of corruption, right?

Even with all the hoopla surrounding Hunter, he has continued to contact foreign agents, including those from China.  The damning revelations suggest that where there is smoke, there is a raging inferno of corruption, influence peddling, money laundering, and possibly treasonous activities by the Biden family.  Their bottom line seems to be their focus, not America or the American people.   We need answers, and we need them now!

The New York Times conceded that one of the bombshell claims made about the DOJ’s mishandling of the Biden probe, but they buried it deep inside their long article.  It was found in the 21st paragraph. That is deep enough that most readers would have abandoned the lengthy article before discovering that revelation or admission.  But, again, there is no corruption or attempt to shield the Biden family.  Not even a smidgen, right?

I was amused by an article titled, “Biden torched for denying knowledge of Hunter’s ‘business deals:’ ‘Even lies about lying.’”  What would you expect? That is what those prone to lying do; they lie!  There are so many smoking guns that one can hardly see for the smoke filling the air. 

Almost every U.S. Attorney General has been loyal to the administration that appointed them.  However, we should have a reasonable expectation that they will not violate the law to protect against wrongdoing by their boss.  It appears that the FBI, the IRS, and the DOJ are all colluding and complicit in the overt protection and shielding of the Biden family. 

With the immensity of allegations swirling around the Biden family, how is a special prosecutor not named to look into this?  But to be honest, if one were appointed, it would be an exercise in futility, a waste of tax-payer dollars and drag out the matter.  This could be handled quickly, and justice should be done as required by the Constitution and the Law. 

Now, let me move beyond the corruption to the health of Joe Biden and say that while I empathize with him and his family over his cognitive and other possible physical conditions, he is sitting as the president. That means we cannot look beyond those issues and dismiss his other actions out of sympathy or empathy. 

I believe but have no way of confirming that Joe Biden has some severe medical conditions that make him unfit to be president.  How can anyone think the man has his cognitive reason when he ends a speech giving a diatribe about gun control and says for no apparent reason, “God save the queen, man.”  The queen was deceased.  What was he saying and why?

In that speech, he made some incredibly illogical statements, including, “Put a pistol on a brace, it turns into a gun — makes it more — you can have a higher-caliber weapon, higher-caliber bullet coming out of that gun.”  What are you talking about, sir?  What?  Of course, we dare not forget his ludicrous statement, “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific across the Indian Ocean.”   Just a few days earlier, he could not remember Winston Churchill’s name when speaking to the Prime Minister of Britain.

I shudder at the thought of Vice President Kamala Harris occupying the Oval Office, but something must be done.  Can we survive until November 2024 or January 2025?  I honestly do not know, but I know we desperately need some divine help, and we need to unite and back a candidate who has the cognitive reason to serve and will follow the Constitution and the Rule of Law. 

God bless you, and God bless America!

ONCE AGAIN, I ASK, WHAT IS AMERICA’S GREATEST NEED TODAY?


Many things come to mind when I ask or am asked that question. I am sure everyone has their own unique perspective and idea.  I have been in prayer and musing on America, where we are, where we have been, and where we are going, some agonizing thoughts have come to mind.  When I witness what, in my mind, is an assault on our American foundation, the pillars of freedom, and the principles upon which America was founded, I become agitated! 

I wish I could say that it was always ‘righteous indignation,’ but sometimes it is unadulterated, blood-boiling anger. Anger that could quickly morph into hate, and I fight against that with a passion.  I do not want hate to fill my heart; although I hate sin and the result of sin, I do not want to hate the sinner.  

I hate the attempts to dismantle and unravel our constitutional framework and diminish the moral fabric of our society. Still, I do not want to hate those who disagree with me about what is best and the direction we should take. Hate will never produce genuine and lasting victory and progress!

“What is the greatest need of America today?”   I believe it is National Healing!  You may disagree, and that is your right and privilege.  I will not argue that there are not some incredibly imposing and threatening dangers facing our republic; there are! 

Yet, I know from the Bible and history that a house divided against itself cannot stand, become incredibly weak, and open to an invasion of ideologies and forces that would dismantle and destroy us.  I do not believe most want that! 

The Bible offers us a prescription for Healing in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.”  [Amplified].

I have watched some of the presentations by the media, political pundits, activists, and protesters over the past several years.  The riots that broke out when Donald J. Trump was elected in 2016 did not occur in 2021.  I am not discounting the events of January 6th, but I am saying that those of us on the Right do not conduct ourselves in the same way as the followers of the toxic liberal ideology of the Left.   I believe there were so many abnormalities, if not outright fraud and criminality, during the election that I cannot be called legitimate.  However, it is what it is, and we must deal with the reality of where we are.

We will expand the divide if we allow ourselves to focus on our particular ideology, pet agenda, personal preference, or pet peeve.  If we allow ourselves to be drawn into Hate and continue to fan the flames of discord, we will fail as a nation and suffer individually and collectively. 

I continue to believe what Donald J. Trump said in his inaugural address in 2017.  I believe it is a view that is vitally important for us to focus on.  He said that UNITED, America is Unstoppable!  He said other things about setting aside our prejudices and biases and realizing that we are All Americans and America should be first, not personal preference.

I would never suggest anyone abandon their convictions or principles.  I would never do that, but I suggest that we resist and reject Hate!  I suggest we seek common ground through which we can work together for the good of America and Freedom at home and abroad.  

We both lose if you hate me, or I hate you based on skin color.  If I hate you or you hate me based on personality, we both are reduced to incredibly small people.  If I hate you or you hate me based on which side of a political issue we stand on, we dig a chasm that will prevent us from solving our nation’s problems. 

I have seen the protest signs over the past few years, and one of those from 2016, “Love Trumps Hate.”   That is the truth!  But it diminishes the sentiment when a sign next to that sign calls for the assignation or some other incredibly vile act of violence and hate.  Love does triumph over Hate!  However, we dare never forget that Hate and Love do not flow out of the same fountain or heart simultaneously. 

America’s greatest need, in my mind, is HEALING!  I am convinced that Healing can only truly come from God.  I was appalled when Barack Obama won in 2008 and significantly discouraged when he won again in 2012. Still, I did not stop being an American and wanting what was best for America.  

Did I oppose Mr. Obama?  Yes, I did.  Was I vocal?  Yes, I was.  Am I disturbed that Joe Biden is the occupant of the White House?  Yes, I am.  But I have not, nor will I call his murder, the rape of his wife, or seek to destroy the framework of our society, government, commerce, or community. 

I found almost nothing good in the policies of Mr. Obama or Mr. Biden. You may find nothing good in the policies of Mr. Trump.  But if we love America, we will set aside our prejudices and biases, and resist the tendency to HATE that which is different; we can survive and thrive as a nation.  HEALING is America’s greatest need, and it is my greatest need as a human being. 

What I do Hate is:

  • I hate the message and actions of Islamic jihadism. 
  • I hate the murder of innocent babies in the womb. 
  • I hate the attempts to strip all references and mention of God from our public stage. 
  • I hate the fundamental transformation of America into something other than the nation we were established to be and the principles upon which we were formed. 
  • I hate the works of evil no matter what form it comes.  

However, I do not want to be filled with Hate and thereby prevented from having Love for my fellow man.  I want to be a part of the Healing of our Nation, not a part of the perpetuation of division. 

I suspect that some may not receive my sermon well, but I hope you hear my heart.  I do not want anyone to abandon their principles and discard their core convictions.  I want you to protest what you believe is wrong but do so in a civil, peaceful, constitutional, and legal manner.  I want all of us to be able to stand for what we believe is right but to do so as rational and mature people.  I am praying for Healing in our land and am committed to interceding for America.

I pray and desire that we return to God and become a people who “seek FIRST the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.”  I pray that we become a people who understand that just as the human body has many different parts, the Body of Christ does as well.  I pray that we realize that we are all descendants of Adam & Eve and that although we have different ethnic backgrounds and skin pigmentation, we are all part of the Human Race.  I pray that we will allow our differences to be aired peaceably, stop focusing on our victimization, and pursue peace.

God bless you, and God bless America is my prayer and desire!

THE SPIRITUAL, MORAL, and POLITICAL CONDITION OF AMERICA…


That title may elicit vile vitriol from some and may result in others turning me off without reading my reasons for it.  I welcome open debate and discussion that is done civilly.  I will not tolerate a plunge into the morass of hate that is prevalent in today’s society. 

I recently saw the movie “Sound of Freedom,” it reignited my deep sorrow over the conditions prevalent in our world.  The world of ‘sex trafficking’ and ‘pedophilia’ is so demonic and vile that I cannot imagine a sane or non-demonized person engaging in it.  It is revelatory of a condition where some have been turned over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28). 

The gender confusion, distortion, and blending that has led parents, schools, politicians, activists, and even some in religious circles to lose their minds is beyond disconcerting; it is terrifying.  The end can only result in judgment from God upon this nation and this world.  There are many more things to throw into that mix, but that alone is beyond reason.

I saw that the decision has been made that Seattle Public Schools will be offering “free” sex-reassignment surgery hormones to students as young as eleven years of age.  That was revealed by Parents Defending Education (PDE) that the schools will be offering “free” hormone medication and sex-reassignment operations to children.  That is beyond belief!

It is bad enough that medical professionals are prescribing cross-sex hormones and cutting off the breasts and genitals of minors, but now the schools are involved, too!  Where does it end, or does it end?  Will we see the government take control of the children and strip parents of all their legal and God-given rights and responsibilities or parenting?  Will the continual move to force everyone into compliance with the WOKE, politically correct toxicity of liberal thought become a realized nightmare?  Will this result in a full-blown civil war in America? 

Education has morphed into an indoctrination machine rather than seeking to educate our children, enabling them to become productive individuals.  The desire of the followers of the modern agenda to make everyone conform has produced Children’s Literature that is designed to condition the children to become obedient leftists.  That is not what education is supposed to be about, but it is a current reality. 

Children’s books are a potent tool that parents have used to teach their children how to become good human beings and good citizens.  However, the shift has been coming for well over twenty-five years.  Nearly three decades ago, books that portrayed children as environmental activists were published.  A decade or more ago, those books morphed into award-winning publications that depicted sexualization and abuse at younger ages. 

We have watched as gender confusion and sexual preference were depicted as normal and blamed God for the confusion in children’s minds about those things.  After all, we are told, “God made them that way.”  No, He did not!  The Bible makes that clear. The drive to normalize any aberration as being normal and prevalent.  This is a coordinated and well-defined agenda.

I have become aware that in the past three years, the shift has accelerated, and the boldness and openness of this toxic agenda are readily apparent.  In 2020, Publisher’s Weekly lists books for children ages 9 to 13.    Best Middle-Grade Books of the Year featured 14 titles.  Nine of them openly spoke about racism and sexual identity.  The slant was always from the Leftist’s worldview. 

The 2021 Best Book list contained books where 9 of the 14 were focused on racism and sexual identity but used a more subtle approach to advancing the Leftist’s agenda.  The 2022 Best Middle-Grade list again had 9 of the 14 advancing the Leftist’s agenda and definition of racism and sexual identity.

What is the End Game?  It is to transform our children into obedient followers of the toxic agenda of liberalism.  Of the 12,000 librarian doners in the 2020 presidential campaign, 93 percent went to Joe Biden.  You may not have been aware of the February 25, 2023, story hour hosted by conservative children’s book publisher Brave Books.  It was held at the Hendersonville, Tennessee Public Library, and the librarian learned who the speakers were; he tried to stop the hour.  He said, “We do not want their movement.”

Let me declare that I support education and teachers who truly attempt to educate children by teaching the truth, not some preferred political or social ideology.  I do not support Leftist indoctrination and brainwashing that has been and is being engaged in.  Someone said, “Education has reached peak absurdity, but there is hope.”  I hope there is hope, but there is no hope without a nationwide concerted and coordinated effort by parents and patriots who want restoration and sanity.

Our beloved America is rapidly drifting or rapidly heading toward a state of delusion that may render us unrecoverable.  We have long been known as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, and that is where I would like for us to remain.  However, there are glaring signs of delusion becoming so prevalent that, as some argue, “America is going insane.”

I say that because we have shifted from making things paramount in which reasonable people could disagree to things so delusional that they have no basis in reality.  The Cleveland Clinic defines delusional disorder as “a type of psychotic disorder.”  Their publications state that people with that disorder often continue to socialize and function well, apart from the subject of their delusion.  That is unlike people with psychotic disorders who might have delusions.  Nevertheless, people with delusional disorders might become so preoccupied with their delusions that their lives are disrupted.  We are seeing that today in much of the activism.

The focus is on “My Feelings” and the insistence that a person must be provided a “safe space” to resort to because of their heightened feeling of exploitation or threat by a differing opinion.  It has become a virtual pandemic and is destroying the minds of many of the younger generation. 

Some find it impossible not to hate and hold grudges. We see the generation of hate being revived, and the divide in our nation is threatening our survival as a republic.  The idea that the system is exploiting them is prevalent.  They blame everyone and everything but themselves for their situation.  The hate generated against those perceived to be the exploiters includes the police, white people, Christians, the system, and Wall Street.  Even if there has been abuse, we must come to terms with our hate and grudge holding, or we will destroy ourselves.

The willingness to destroy what opposes the ideological position is beyond dangerous; it is destructive.  The overflowing hatred based on irrational blaming and pathological demands for vengeance are becoming the norm, and that spreading cancer is destroying us from within.  

America, it is my conviction that without a return to moral, spiritual, and political sanity, we will have a front-row seat watching the dissolution of our republic and the freedoms we have enjoyed for almost two-and-one-half centuries.

God help us awaken from our stupor and return to Him so that we can again enjoy His smiles and be The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, where everyone is recognized as being created equal and having inalienable rights.

God bless you, and God bless America!

NOSTALGIC THIS MORNING…


I guess that is a part of the aging process in life, but I find that more and more, I am turning back the clock in my mind, drawing pleasantries from my memory banks, and reflecting on them.  In our politically correct world with the thought police, food police, belief police, and all the other activist groups seeking to control and direct our lives, thoughts, and actions, I REMEMBER WHEN…

  • I remember when the government did not micromanage or seek to micromanage every facet of our lives.  We were not so over-regulated that we almost have to have a permit or license to breathe the air God provided free of charge.  We live in a time when if you offend some liberal leftist activist group, you are in danger of not only being castigated but could face some type of trumped-up criminal charge.
  • I remember when being identified as Illegal was not a badge of honor, and if you were in this country illegally, you would be deported. Still, today, if you are here Illegally, you are almost honored, and in the words of Jeb Bush, you committed an ‘act of love.’  

To the Democrats, you are ‘guaranteed votes.’  To some unscrupulous, you are potentially ‘cheap labor.’  Sorry, no matter what the business, I do not support anyone hiring ILLEGALS.  If they are here illegally, they have committed a crime, violated our laws and constitution, and have no right to be here. 

There is a process for coming here, and while it needs to be overhauled to make it easier for the qualified people with skill sets needed in America to come but, to slap America and Americans in the face and come Illegally should never be ignored.

  • I remember when people could leave their doors unlocked and not fear that someone would steal everything or enter to commit mayhem.  Today, even in the rural setting I grew up in, that is a NO-NO!  We almost have to have bars on our doors and windows today and to fail to have a security system, guard dogs, and be armed is almost like hanging out an engraved invitation for someone to break in.
  • I remember when believing in God and identifying yourself as a Christian was not frowned upon.  I remember when being identified as one who respects the constitution and expected people to ‘earn’ what they got was not considered extreme, hostage taking, domestic terrorism, intolerance, bigotry, and hatred. 
  • I remember when America was still viewed as a Constitutional Republic, there was still a separation of powers in the three branches of the federal government, our military was vital, keeping us safe, the authority of parents was still respected, gasoline was affordable, our service personnel honored and respected, and if you came to America, you were expected to learn the language, our laws, and assimilate.  You were free to maintain your ethnicity and beliefs, and in your home, if you chose to speak your native tongue, you were allowed and even encouraged to do so, but in public, ENGLISH was expected. 

Today, we have a Politically Correct (PC) World in which Americans are expected to change to accommodate any and all others rather than have them assimilate.  To express belief in the Constitution, the Rule of Law, the Bible, Traditional Family, and America is to be considered intolerant, bigoted, and unacceptable, at least to the powers that be. 

I am nostalgic and long for a return to AMERICA, the beautiful the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, the America I remember, the America the founders gave us, and the America our heroes fought and died for!

God bless America, and God bless you!

YOU DO NOT BECOME RIGHT BY DOING WRONG…


The Bible predicted a time when people would call evil good and good evil.  It spoke of days in which there would be raging insanity prevalent, hate would boil over into violence, and people would become so self-serving that peace was not possible.  Today, we are living in a world where the lack of cognitive reasoning is evident.  We live in an agenda-driven world where the self is the center of everything.

The demands by the followers of toxic liberalism using the Gestapo-style PC police actions and governmental bureaucracies and departments are alarming.  The philosophy used by tyrannical despots through the centuries is to gain control of the information, perform indoctrination on the young, and use economic conditions to force compliance is in place. 

I was encouraged by the decision of the Supreme Court in a 6-3 vote to stand for Religious Freedom and Free Speech. In 303 Creative v. Elenis, the SCOTUS took a positive stand for Freedom of Religion and Speech.   The case involved a Colorado-based custom web designer who was being forced to violate her religious convictions.  The designer wanted to expand her website creations to include weddings, but the LGBTQ agenda stood in her way.  The court ruled in her favor preventing her from being forced to include words in designs that violated her religious convictions.

The WOKE consortium already labeled Judge Terry Doughty of the Western District of Louisiana as an enemy, and now he is Lucifer himself to them.  He issued a nationwide injunction against the Biden administration in the case of Missouri v. Biden.  That lawsuit was over the federal government’s forced collusion with Big Tech to censor and suppress public discussion on numerous issues of interest to much of the population.

The suppression and censorship are, without argument, real.  The question was whether they originated from the actions of the federal government.  Judge Doughty believes they did as he stated in his opinion.  He declared that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the case’s merits and established that the government used its power to silence opposition.  He cited numerous situations where the government had sought to silence opposition to its policies, including COVID-19 vaccines, COVID-19 masking, COVID-19 lockdowns, the lab-leak theories, the validity of the 2020 election, Biden policies, and the Hunter Biden laptop. 

He said, “Although this case is still relatively young, and at this state, the Court is only examining it in terms of Plaintiffs’ likelihood of success on the merits, the evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.”   Yes, he is not public enemy number one to the leftists, but I believe he stood with the Constitution and our inalienable rights.

The meetings and communications between the Biden administration and social media companies were designed to pressure those companies to take down, reduce, and suppress the free speech of American citizens. That is a violation of the constitution and the law. The judge stated, in agreement with the constitution, agrees that American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country.  That is what has kept our Republic free!

We now have the revelation by an IRS whistleblower and the acknowledgment by the U.S. attorney in charge of the Hunter Biden investigation that his probe was “influenced by politics.”  He admitted that he had been ‘hamstrung’ when making prosecutorial decisions while denying Congress the records it requested for its oversight efforts.  He informed Congressman Jim Jordan that he was not at liberty to provide the documents Congress sought.  What?  They have the right to that information, so who prevented him from complying?

Much is said about Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents but virtually nothing regarding Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and countless others in government.  Joe Biden has had his hands on classified documents dating back to 1974 as a U.S. Senator.  Recently his Special Envoy for Iran, Robert Malley, was stripped of his security clearance and placed on unpaid leave pending a State Department security investigation regarding mishandling classified documents.

The Biden State Department has failed to comply with the House Foreign Affairs Committee request. That suggests that the Biden administration misled Congress and the public.  The committee has repeatedly requested Malley to testify, but the administration refuses to comply.  The State Department failed to inform Congress of the situation, opening the door to speculation about what and why.  The fact that Malley was allowed to continue diplomatic duties, although under investigation, is also concerning.

This dates back to John Kerry, Robert Malley, and others meeting with the Iranians during the Trump administration, trying to bypass the Trump team and work with Iran to get the people in power they desired.   That is a Logan Act problem, but nothing is being said, and probably nothing will be done.  Corruption is corruption, and just because you hate the other guy is no excuse for allowing this behavior.

The movie Sounds of Freedom has been attacked by the Left and the media ferociously.  Why?  Why would they want to discredit an inspiring movie exposing the horrific child sex trafficking crisis?  Doing so makes them appear that they are in favor of it.  The horror these children have and are enduring demands that everyone become outraged, and actions are taken to end it.  The open border of the Left encourages and facilitates this type of activity.  The border situation has amplified it, which should be reason enough to secure the border.

We can point our fingers at specific individuals and miss the reality that the corruption and raging insanity driving what is transpiring in today’s world.  The corruption in the Department of Justice extends far beyond Merrick Garland.  If we only focus on Garland and Biden, we invite this kind of thing from resurfacing in the future.  The tentacles of the Deep State and Swamp extend far beyond those two players on the stage of events.  The continuing revelations of the plethora of information the DOJ, FBI, IRS, and CIA have regarding the Bidens are alarming. 

The Hunter Biden WhatsApp message sent to a Chinese business associate is incredibly damning for all of them.  It read, “I am sitting here with my father,” and hinted that the Bidens could hold a grudge if a commitment made to them was not fulfilled.  Wow!  Even Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf admitted they had “probable cause” for executing a search warrant but refused to do so. 

America, we are in very troubled times, and the drive to implement the agenda of toxic liberalism and globalism is like a millstone hung around our necks.  We will drown if we do not awaken and return to sanity.  Pursuing wrong will not make us right!  God help us to wake up and restore sanity to our republic.

God bless you, and God bless America!

YOU ARE INVITED TO KICK ME TO THE CURB IF…


I believe in Freedom of Speech for everyone!  Not just those with whom I agree.  I believe all our inalienable rights come from God, not the government!  I believe everyone has the right to think and express what they please.  I hope they find it within themselves to do so civilly, non-personally, and peacefully.  If they do not, they may find themselves violating the Constitution and the laws of the land.

Now to my title, “Kick me to the curb if….”  If what?  Thank you for asking.  In the Book of Amos 3:3, we read the declaration, “Can two walk together, except they are agreed?”  That could be a rhetorical question, but let me answer it this way before I get to the “if” of my title. 

Can two people walk together?  In Hebrew, the word for walk is ‘yalak,’ which conveys the idea of literal walking and working and fellowship or pursuing the same purposes.  The word together is the Hebrew ‘yachad,’ which means united and is from a root word that means to become one.

In that light, the answer is No!  Two cannot walk together if there is no agreement in purpose, principle, and ideology.  However, I believe that the Bible teaches that life is filled with examples of two people not in agreement on many things being able to work together up to a point.  So, in that sense, the answer is Yes.

Now to my title statement and the if contained therein.  What is the “if” that ‘if that transpires’?  I suggest or invite you to kick me to the curb or withdraw from me.  The “if” cannot be defined in one statement but a very extensive list of things political, religious, social, economic, etc.  However, I will only focus on the political, but everything I say and do is directly connected to my core convictions of faith.  Therefore, there is and will be an overlapping between the political and religious.

If you support abortion and abortion on demand, we have no basis of agreement from which to work.  I believe that life begins in the womb!  No, I believe that Life begins in the heart of God, but as soon as that baby is conceived, the purposes of God are set in motion, and any violation of that plan is wrong. 

I believe all life is valuable to God and should be to us.  I believe killing an innocent unborn baby is reprehensible and is murder.  It is genocide and infanticide, which is foreign to my faith and politics.  If you believe that abortion is acceptable, you might want to kick me to the curb because I believe it is murder. 

If you support gay marriage and believe that ministers and churches should be forced to perform those ceremonies without regard for their core religious convictions, we have very little where we can find common ground.  If two people of the same sex want to get married in a civil ceremony, they can or should be able to.  I believe their sexual preference and practice violate God’s moral and natural law. Some may consider that statement a bit compromising.

I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.  If you believe ministers and churches should be legally forced to perform ceremonies for same-sex couples, you might want to kick me to the curb because I believe that violates biblical truth and the Constitution.  You have the right to believe what you believe, and what you do in your own home in privacy is a matter between you, your conscience, and God, but if you drag me into it, you have violated my rights, and we have no common ground.

If you support gun control, gun bans, or gun confiscation stripping legal, law-abiding citizens of their constitutional and biblical right of self-defense, we are on opposite sides of the issue and have no common ground.  The 2nd Amendment was not written to protect hunting or with hunting in mind.  It had nothing to do with deer but the right and obligation of citizens to defend their homes and families and to give the citizens a means to defend against a rogue tyrannical government attempt. 

If you insist on calling the AR-15 an assault rifle when it is nothing of the sort, we have no common ground.  A military assault rifle has the capability and capacity to be either one bullet at a time or fully automatic.  The AR15s that citizens can legally own do not have that capacity. 

The statistical data does not support the need to ban long guns, and the Constitution prohibits banning all firearms.  We have imposed laws restricting and limiting the ability to own a fully automatic weapon.  Your diatribe, rhetoric, and paranoia will only lead to more crime and gun violence, rendering citizens vulnerable to abuse.  If that is your position, as is held by politicians such as Joe Biden, Barack Hussein Obama, and Robert Frances O’Rourke, who envisioned himself as the future governor of Texas, we have no agreement. 

We have no common ground if you believe it is justifiable to punish people for success and tax citizens into oblivion to provide entitlements and freebies for many unwilling to work.  I begrudge no person anything they have earned or inherited.  If you were fortunate or misfortunate enough to have inherited a fortune, that is your lot in life.  It is not mine, and you owe me nothing. 

However, if I have earned, developed, amassed, or inherited it, I want no one and no government taking it.  They have no right to even one nickel of it without my consent and without proper representation for that money taken.  If you support the toxic liberal view of taxation, you might as well kick me to the curb. We have no path to walk together.

We hold diametrically opposite views if you support allowing people not legally qualified to vote to cast a ballot in our elections.  A deceased person is not a legitimate voter.  A person who is not a legal citizen is not a legitimate voter.  An underage person, a felon, or otherwise disqualified from voting is not a legitimate voter.

A person should be able to vote if they meet the qualifications such as identification and citizenship.  They should be able to vote in their state or precinct ONCE, not dozens of times in various precincts or states.  If you find that acceptable, we have no common ground to walk together.

If you believe, as Joe Biden has stated, that ANTIFA is just an idea and that the riots, looting, mayhem, and destruction over the several years by BLM and other activist groups are justified, we have no agreement.  If you support the censorship being practiced by Big Tech, we have no common ground.  If you support the repeated attempts to make everything that disagrees with the Liberal Ideological position hate speech and banned, then we have no common ground. 

If you believe that America should coddle despots and terrorists, hoping to appease them, then we have no common ground.  If you believe pastors should be forced to submit their sermons to some government oversight board for approval before preaching, then feel free to kick me to the curb; we are in total disagreement. If you believe being white is a mortal sin, kick this Caucasian to the curb.  I will not apologize for my ethnicity.  God decided it, and I celebrate who I am; you should celebrate who you are.

If you believe that citizens must live under a mandate to satisfy the unverified claims of the Climate Change alarmists, then we have no common ground.  If you believe that America should adopt the United Nations Agenda 21 plan and embrace the Sustainable Development ideology, then we have no place for agreement. 

I believe God created a very sturdy and viable planet, and He knew everything we could and would do.  We should be good stewards of the environment, but it is not as fickle as the alarmists would have us believe.  Fossil fuels are not the enemy but a blessing from God.

If you believe those things, I do not wish to strip you of the right to believe those things and will discuss them with you so long as that is done civilly, without personal insults and name-calling.  If you resort to insults and call for my destruction physically, emotionally, politically, and economically, we have no basis for agreement.  We can discuss the matter if you genuinely want to find common ground, but if you want me to cede to your views, we cannot continue. 

As long as I have breath, I will stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom!  I will defend your right to enjoy your inalienable rights and not seek to censor you.  I will seek to defeat you at the voting booth and fight for legislation that protects and defends our inalienable rights.  I am willing to allow you to live your life and ask that you allow me to live mine without fighting a war to achieve that objective.  I have only scratched the surface and could and probably should include dozens of other things.

God bless you, and God bless America!

JUST THROW SOME MONEY AT THE PROBLEM…


That seems to be the mantra of most politicians and virtually all national Democrats.  Some of them are purportedly economists and intelligent, but their actions are cause for questioning the legitimacy of those claims.  They seem to miss some basic economic and rational principles that most voters understand.  You cannot just throw money at a problem and expect it to be fixed.

There is a proven principle that the more something is subsidized, and the more funding is pumped into a situation, the more expensive and unaffordable that thing becomes.  That is evidenced by the government’s complicity in the unsustainable cost of higher education. 

Dating back to the 1960s, we have watched the federal government throw money into education.  The grants and loans were supposed to make college more affordable.  What happened?  The colleges and universities used that windfall of money to bulk up administrators and increase their prices faster than inflation.  The colleges and universities kept gouging, and the government kept doling out the money and wondered why the money didn’t fix the problem.  Duh! 

One solution that would not require money would be to stop requiring college degrees for jobs that do not require one. That would allow students who cannot afford to go to college to secure a good job without the indebtedness.  Too simple?  Maybe, but it is one possible non-fiscal approach that has merit.

The government keeps spinning the spin and advancing the lies.  Remember, with Obamacare, the many misrepresentations we were asked to believe?  If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.  There will be more competition.  Prices will go down.  This plan will pay for itself.  Did that happen?  Not that I can find, and many were unconstitutionally forced to comply.  The government’s involvement and expenditures made everything more expensive. We paid more for the product and watched our taxes climb higher.  Double pay for failure!

Joe Biden is now advancing Obamacare Part II, which, if allowed to survive, will further decimate the quality of medical care, and cost more money.  His energy policies have cost us at the pump and caused EVERYTHING to cost more!  When the government seeks or succeeds in destroying or limiting our access to reasonably priced and reliable energy, higher costs for energy are guaranteed.  When the cost of energy increases, all goods and services also increase.  Inflation soars, and those working for a living feel the pinch at every turn.  Stop helping us, please!

In modern America, the WOKE agenda has reached corporate America, and I find it encouraging that many Americans are pushing back.  Those seeking to impose upon us a cultural revolution and enforce their agenda have successfully shaped the policies of many corporations.  The plan was to be on steroids under a Hillary Clinton presidency, but the victory by Donald Trump was a fly in the ointment and gave us a brief respite.  That has changed, but I see signs that people are awakening.

The massive attempts to control the masses and the overt actions that can be called nothing but a vendetta against Trump and anyone who supported him show signs of awakening the sleeping giant.  The reaction to Bud Light aligning with a transexual got the attention of some in corporate America.  Others failed to heed, such as Target, Ben and Jerry’s, and many others. 

Boycotts can work. If the American people who want to maintain freedom and inalienable rights decide to unitedly not to shop at those WOKE agenda businesses, the loss of finances usually has an effect.  If we do not value our freedom and seek to protect the home, family, faith, and freedom, we will be forced to comply or ignore the deviancy and destruction.  I sense a declaration like that of Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty or give me death,” rumbling in mainstream America.

Conservatism is today’s counterculture, and we are battling an entrenched establishment determined to force the agenda of liberalism, globalism, and WOKE-ism upon us.  This is reminiscent of the 1960s and 70s but in reverse.  Those in the modern establishment are veterans of that conflict and are now the establishment they sought to destroy.  It is time that those of us who value Faith, Family, and Freedom stand up and stand together for a restoration of our moral values and constitutional provisions.

Money talks: If we follow the money trail, we find the truth.  Politics is big business, requiring massive amounts of dollars to survive.  Money talks, and when money talks, ethics and sanity seem to walk for many who are in elective positions and lead the bureaucracies of our government. 

When the Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration’s plan to forgive student loans was unconstitutional, they saved American taxpayers about 400 billion dollars.  I believe it was much more than that.  It shaved an immediate $400 billion off the deficit and reportedly saves the taxpayers about $30 billion annually for the next decade. 

Some insist that the deficit and national debt are meaningless because they are so massive and are just paper.  That is a wrong view, in my opinion.  Debt is debt, and at some point, the interest on our national debt will rise to a place where we cannot afford to pay the interest.  At that juncture, our economy will collapse, and foreign entities will demand payment, which we cannot pay, and allow them massive control.  If we default, that will negatively impact the economies of numerous countries and cause a worldwide economic collapse. 

As a Christian, I see that as a viable avenue for the ‘Man of Sin’ to rise to power and offer his Utopian solutions to solve the problems of the world.  Those of us who believe the Bible know that his solution will be short-lived and diabolical evil will result. 

America, money is valuable because money is life.  I mean that we have to spend part of our lives to earn money.  With the increasing government fraud, expenditures, and corruption, there is an increased risk of losing our Republic.  Government waste and ineptitude have long been part of the equation.  One prime example is the more recent revelation that $400 billion in COVID relief seems to have vanished into thin air.  But it is likely much more than that. 

Over the past three years, the federal government has distributed more than $4.2 trillion in aid connected to COVID-19.  According to a new report, over $400 billion of that massive amount was wasted or stolen.  How do you lose 400 billion dollars?  We are told that the feds are actively pursuing the prosecution of the fraudsters.  Seriously?  If so, the first place they need to look is at the government officials in charge of distributing those funds. 

We know that people in prison, Nigerian scammers, fraudulent businesses, and more received massive amounts of those funds.  The government’s ineptitude and possible kickbacks are glaring.  In the National Bureau of Economic Research report, only 23 to 34 percent of the PPP’s funds went directly to the workers who would have otherwise lost their jobs.  The taxpayers paid approximately $4 for every $1 the workers received. What happened to the rest? 

Graft and corruption are rampant, which may explain why Joe Biden wants to spend the massive amounts he desires at once.  Hey, kickbacks to the Big Guy are lucrative!  America, we cannot afford the politics of the politicians; we need to take our country back.

God bless you, and God bless America!
