JUST WHEN I THOUGHT, I’D SEEN AND HEARD IT ALL…


Just when I thought I had seen and heard it all something happens to make me scratch my head and say, “Truly there is no limit to stupidity.”  I know that is a bit caustic and harsh to call something or someone stupid, but what other word should I use.  You probably are wondering what I am talking about.  Well, so many things but let me extract a few from the mountain of samples and proceed.

I should have been dumbfounded when I read and heard a church pastor make one of the most ridiculous and heretical statements I have ever heard.  The pastor of which I speak said that Jesus was transgender or at least gender fluid.  He uses a very broad brush and a private interpretation of the meaning of Scripture to validate his contention. 

The Reverend Simon Woodman, of the Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church, said that during a London panel last summer.  The conference was on “Queer Theology” so maybe it should not be surprising that the attempt to make Jesus fit the model of that community would occur. 

He attempted to make his case saying, “I think Jesus transgenders Himself on a number of occasions. I think, you know, just a little phrase, Jesus is lamenting over Jerusalem, longing to gather Jerusalem as a mother hen gathers her chicks.”  That in his or whatever pronoun he describes himself with felt that made Jesus transgender.  He took the account of Jesus washing the feet of the disciples in John 13:4-17 and said that action was Jesus making himself into a woman.  I can only imagine what other manipulations of scripture he uses to valid various arguments.

He said, regarding the foot washing, “And I think if you look at the foot-washing from John’s gospel – foot-washing elsewhere in both Old and New Testaments – that it’s consistently done by women.  And yet Jesus takes that on.  People often cast that as being the servant’s role. It was the woman’s role.  And Jesus does it and becomes the woman at that point.”  So, folks if someone does laundry, wash the dishes, irons clothing, or cleans the house, does that mean they are a woman?  Please understand I do not place a gender on those activities, but activities of necessity regardless of gender. Not so, with the good reverend, it seems.

This is not an isolated occurrence and in 2019 an Episcopal bishop declared that God is female.  However, his argument is without merit both on the interpretation of the scripture and taking an event some 2,000 years earlier when there was no concept in their society of transgenderism.  He, like so many, wants to interpret the Bible or the Constitution to mean what they want it to mean.  The level of ignorance in our world continues to grow and manifest itself at an alarming rate.

Then with evidence coming out of Wisconsin that 569,277 registered voters have a registration date of January 1, 1918.  That represents one out of every fourteen voters in the state’s database.  Alarmingly 115,252 of them voted.  That should make it impossible for anyone to deny mass voter fraud.  However, the media pundits and Leftists politicians insist that there is no voter fraud, at least not conducted by the Left.  A little nugget that you might want to include in your information arsenal is that the voters with the same registration date from over 100 years ago alone are 5.5 times Biden’s slim margin of victory.  No voter fraud?  Do I see pigs flying over the unicorns on the Washington Mall?

To add to the lunacy, corruption, and illegalities that are touted as nothing burgers and meaningless we see the Protection Racket of the MSM as they work feverishly to protect Hunter Biden and by association his father President Joe Biden.  New emails were obtained exclusively by Fox Business reveal that Hunter Biden, along with a former aide to then-Vice President Biden invested in Chinese companies with close ties to top officials in the communist government. 

An important revelation was exposed in an email sent to Hunter Biden by a close adviser to Vice President Biden in 2015 where Hunter was invited to China.  The direct quote is, “Bo Zhang and his family would host us.  They are a great family with great respect and relationships in China.  They are very private and wouldn’t tell anyone about you coming.  Bo’s father-in-law is actually the Governor of Hainan Provence, which he doesn’t advertise at all.” Interesting.

In March 2017, Hunter Biden’s private equity firm held a stake in a company run by a Chinese executive with ties to officials at some of the highest levels of the Communist Party of China.  Hunter’s longtime business partner, Eric Schwerin, sent Hunter an email in March 2017 breaking down the ownership interests of Rosemont Seneca Advisors, which included a 5% stake in Harves Amusement Parks and ownership in Harves Sports and Entertainment. 

That is particularly germane as the United States continues to deal with difficult problems related to China including the COVID pandemic.  I was surprised that New York Post’s Steven Nelson asked President Biden if Hunter’s connection to communist China was a conflict of interest.  The reasoning behind the question was tied to Biden’s three- and one-half-hour virtual summit with the Chinese president in November where Biden failed to press for transparency.  Was that due to Biden’s son’s involvement financially?

Of course, Biden contended that he did press for transparency.  The reporter pressed this and asked the President if he, in fact, did press for transparency why his staff was unaware of it.  Biden’s out was, “They weren’t with me the entire time.”  Seriously, Mr. President!  You were in a meeting with an adversarial country’s leader and you, and he was alone!  I find that impossible to believe, if for no other reason security.

Another thing that dumbfounds me is the insistence by this president, his staff, the Democrats in Congress, and some in the courts that Americans want free unrestricted abortions.  I say that in light of a recent poll that indicated 71% of Americans want more restrictions on abortion, not less.  The poll also indicated that 81% of Americans believe laws can protect both the mother and the unborn child.  It also revealed that 54%, do not agree with taxpayer-funded abortions. 

It is with deep sadness that the President’s Food and Drug Administration greenlit mail-order abortion drugs and 63% of Americans oppose that practice.  It seems that the Left has zero concern for the wishes of the American people.  They have little to no regard for the rule of law and the constitution.  They either believe that their base is demanding that agenda, that they are far wiser than God Himself, our Founding Fathers, and the American people or they simply do not care and see this as a pathway to more and more power!

God help us, the agenda of the Leftists, Marxists, Globalists, and would-be tyrants are destroying this nation.  We either wake up and send them home ASAP or we will witness the destruction of the Republic before 2024.  In a measure, the ball is in our court, but if we do not stop the massive and organized voter fraud the ball and court will disappear.  We will be in chains virtually if not literally.

God bless you and God bless America!

THE NEW WORLD – – DISORDER…


I have been asking for some time, if the COVID pandemic, paranoia, and politicization will ever end?  I believe the answer is no but will take a wait-and-see attitude while striving to inform, as best I can.  I don’t trust the government, the so-called scientists, and the leading medical personnel connected to the WHO or the federal government.  I wish I were not so cynical, but they have earned my distrust and are producing cynicism in many.

I have been asking if the election discrepancies, fraud, distortion, and secrecy will result in the dismantling of our Free Republic and create a Utopia for Despots?  I believe I know the answer but am hopeful that the American public will finally awaken from their political slumber and roar like a mighty lion of freedom!

Many of us feel that our beloved republic entered a sort of ‘twilight zone’ on November 8, 2020.  We believe that that was the final straw that could break the camel’s back.  We believe that this began many decades prior, but the culmination of the fundamental transformation has taken place.  Will we survive?  Can we survive?  The answer to the first is, “I Hope So.” The answer to the second is, “Yes, We Can!”  It depends on us and God.  Yes, I said, God because we are His creation and if we follow the directive of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Matthew 6:33 we can and will survive and thrive!

When the pandemic began, the factual evidence that we were privy to did not seem to justify the draconian measures taken.  Our federal government on the advice of the so-called medical experts locked down the nation and destroyed our economy and opened the door for Joe Biden to enter the White House.  That was a bad day in Black Rock (America).  But that is where we are, and it seems that the plans are to continue the mandates, restrictions, and divisiveness into the foreseeable future. 

I remember the movie from 2011 “Contagion” and thought of it when the lockdowns began.  I wondered if we were being given the truth or enough truth for us the people to make an intelligent decision.  We now know that we were not, and we have entered a state where even families are estranged by the debate of Vaxx or Anti-Vaxxed. 

We were told that by electing Joe Biden and the Democrats they would swiftly and completely destroy the virus and it would fade into the shadows like a bad dream.  The opposite has been the result and couple that with the incredible destruction to our economy and nation, we are up the creek.  Many have contended that in this as in every other thing involving the government the key is to ‘follow the money.’  The money trail I have been able to follow does not make me feel safe or protected but abandoned and abused.

We are living in a day spoken of in 2 Timothy 3 which identifies that age as being one filled with fear, peril, selfishness, anger, hatred, and pleasure-seeking.  It says in verse seven that the characteristic identifying those people would be, “ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”  We have the most learned society in human history and the most devoid of real truth.  If we cannot trust those supposedly looking out for our welfare, who do we trust? 

If we follow the money, we quickly realize that hospitals are among the most prolific recipients of government largesse in this pandemic.  They make far more money (Free Money) if the condition is identified as COVID than any other diagnosis.  That causes me to have incredible trepidation when such a large percentage is COVID, not the Flu or some other airborne virus.

I have seen reports that hospitals receive a minimum of $13,000 for each positive result.  That is not a paltry sum when you consider the huge numbers of positives they have reported.  If you go to the ER with a heart attack you will receive a nasal swab and it is not uncommon for the report to be COVID not coronary.  Why?  Follow the money, honey.

I am not diminishing the danger of COVID and its variants.  I would never do that for I have had friends and acquaintances die as a result of the virus.  Yes, many of them had underlying conditions that created a huge problem, but they did have COVID and that cannot be ignored.  My heart breaks for every family that has lost someone to this virus or any other disease. 

With Dr. Fauci, the CDC, and the WHO continually moving the goalposts and recommending mandate after mandate sometimes contradicting the previous warning who are we to trust?  It doesn’t matter if we are talking about deaths, infection rates, vaccinations, herd immunity, mask-wearing, holiday observance, or booster shots the fearmongering is always at the heart.  What matters or should matter is that they are giving us no definite endpoints.  Why?  Are we to be subjected to infinite boosters and that COVID is to remain Medusa where just a single glance is deadly?

The latest mutation is called Omicron and appears to be sweeping the world like an out-of-control forest fire.  How many mutations have we had?  How many will we have?  I believe that we have had at least 15 variants reported.  Where does it end?  Does it end?  Not if the money continues to flow like cheap wine and political power is deemed to be a fruit of the pandemic. 

I have heard of one death in Texas from Omicron and only 7 in the United Kingdom.  That is a death rate that is statistically indistinguishable from zero and we are talking about another lockdown?  What are we thinking?  When do we shake off fear and return to sanity and confidence in God?  I don’t care if you are a Vaxxer or Anti-Vaxxer, we must break the bonds of fear, paranoia, and government control.  We have had more deaths from the seasonal flu than many of these mutations. 

I saw the report from the U.S. Navy that the USS Milwaukee was out of action because of a COVID epidemic among the fully vaccinated crew!  What?  How can that be?  If those who are vaccinated are supposed to be protected and those who are not are the killers in our world, this makes me stop and muse about whom I should trust. 

The double talk and spin we get from those connected to the government reminds me of the saying, “When in danger, when in doubt; run in circles, scream and shout.”  Not that it does any good, but it is distracting from the real issue.  The questions are more than the answers.  Some, that I know who have contracted the Omicron variant have had symptoms so mild they hardly knew they were sick. 

Here is something that will draw the ire of some on either side of the Vaxxed issue, but I feel compelled to share.

In 2012 the CDC had this declaration:

Immunization: The process by which a person or animal becomes protected against a disease. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

Vaccination: Injection of a killed or weakened infectious organism in order to prevent the disease.

Vaccine: A product that produces immunity, therefore, protecting the body from the disease. Vaccines are administered through needle injections, by mouth, and by aerosol.

In 2015 it was:

Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.

Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.

Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

Then in September 2021, it became:

Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.

Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.

Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

Forgive me for the length of this blog, but I ask that we all stop and think.  Be judicially sanitary, be cognizant of your surroundings, and use excellent hygiene.  If you are sick don’t expose others.  I ask that we consider returning to God and trusting Him again.  I ask that we stop hating and blasting each other for differences of opinion.  I ask that we demand from the Government they allow us to live.

God bless you and God Bless America!

AMERICA – Are We Here?


I, as have millions of others, have been praying fervently for America, the land that we love.  I have not been delinquent in my observation and vetting all the information that I can about things transpiring in my beloved nation.  At times, my heart is so heavy I can hardly stand to face the day.  At other times, I am encouraged as I see a flicker of light indicating an awakening in the populace.  I have been diligently praying for an answer to what is to be done to salvage this Republic. 

I do not have all the answers and may not have any answers, but I know the One who does!  Yes, I mean God!  I know that in the Word of God, the Bible there are descriptions of our condition and there are invitations to walk into the fullness and victory He offered and is offering.  Hebrews 13:8 tells us that our Lord Jesus Christ is Every the Same.  He is the same today as He was and will be the same tomorrow!  He Does Not Change!

As I was reading and praying a few days ago I sensed in my heart of hearts that Matthew 13:14-15 was a description of America.  If I back up to Matthew 13:13 the words of Jesus leap off the page, “…because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor do they understand.”  As I read that, I wept and thought, that is what I see in much of America and virtually all of Congress and the Media. 

They see but do not perceive or recognize what they see.  They see it through the lens of their rhetoric and agenda.  Sadly, that can be applied to all sides of the political equation, but the followers of toxic liberalism and globalism are assuredly suffering this condition.  Also, they hear but what they hear is filtered through their ideological views and they neither hear the truth nor do they understand the condition or dangers lurking in the shadows. 

In Matthew 13:14-15, Jesus reminded us that condition was reflective of a prophecy Isaiah gave.  People would hear but never understand.  Look but never see.  Then in verse 15 comes the clincher.  It says, “For the heart of this people has become dull…”  Wow!  The Greek means weighty, heavy, and even more revealing grievous! 

It continues, “…their ears can barely hear, and they have shut their eyes.”  That is damning.  Even if we hear the danger, the damage, and destruction but have no perception or understanding we allow our ears to become wax filled and then we SHUT OUR EYES! 

I am saddened when I hear nationally recognized ministers Shut Their Eyes to what is happening.  When I hear them attempt to appease rather than lead to the light that brings freedom and victory.  They accuse others who are crying out in a call to repentance as being political, but it is they who are attempting to protect their turf and keep the votes of approval in their column.  That is political.

Jesus said regarding that condition that because of it, “Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts.  Then they would turn back, and I would heal them.”   America, that, is descriptive of both the condition and the solution to what is happening in America.  I have been shouting from the rooftops for a long time that the problem is the condition of the heart!  Jesus said, that if we would see and hear and turn back from the destructive humanistic anti-God path, He would heal us! 

In Matthew 15:8-9, our Lord quotes another prophecy by Isaiah which identifies too much of the world and the church today.  He said, “This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.  And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”  Our preferences, ideologies, and agendas can never be a replacement for the Word of God and the Precepts of God.  God is Holy, Loving, and Just.

I hear people on both sides using vitriolic language against the opposing views.  That is anathema to the Bible and the teachings of Jesus.  The Bible insists that a fruit or indicator of our heart’s condition is the presence or absence of Love.  Love for God.  Love for our fellow man.  We may detest what they do or stand for, but unless we can muster love for the individuals no matter how misguided or deceived, we are missing the mark!

We have a nation so divided it may never find the pathway to reconciliation.  We have abandoned moral rightness for personal preference.  We have abandoned the clear teachings of the Bible and elevated human reason to the pinnacle of our lives.  We have engaged in calling that which is evil, immoral, destructive, good, right, and progressive.  Just because you don’t like a particular passage from the Bible, does not mean you are right in your abandonment of it. 

I find that there are times when a passage so torments me that I would like to take a black marker and mark it out.  Yet, I know that it is there for the purpose of redemption and if I am out of compliance with it in my heart and my life, I need to submit to the discipline and repent.  Repentance is an almost forgotten word in many pulpits today because it is uncomfortable.  God is not out to get us; He is out to restore us and give us Life and that more abundant.  He is seeking to bring us into the right relationship with Him.  That condition of rightness with God enables us to be right with ourselves and others.

America, Joe Biden is not the problem, he is a symptom or a side effect of the problem.  Abortion is a problem and a slap in God’s face, but it is also a symptom of the real problem.  Racism is wrong, but it too is a symptom of the condition of the heart.  Racism is not one-sided, and it is learned. 

Our Founding Fathers, in the Declaration of Independence, gave a clear indication of their view of our Hope to be Free.  The words, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”  Those words embody the mindset of our Founding Fathers.  They knew that unless we embraced that philosophy and core conviction we would not survive as a Republic.

Those seeking to destroy the America of our beginning have advanced distortions, lies, and misinformation regarding the position of God, the Bible, and Christianity in the affairs of Government.  Using the threat of the 501(c)3, tax exemption, and other measures they have silenced pulpits and coerced them into an agreement with their demand for a separation the Founders did not endorse.  Through the educational system, we have produced at least two generations of Americans who have believed the lie and are blindly following the pied pipers of destruction to the obliteration of our Republic.

We can save America, but only if we “Turn and Return” to God.  If we do not come to grips with the reality that all are created in the image of God.  If we do not come to terms with the truth that although we disagree, we are members of the same human family, created by God.  We are all people He desires to rescue from perishing. 

I do not ask that anyone like, agree with, or condone evil and anti-American policies.  I do ask that we allow the Love (Agape) of God to fill our hearts so that we can look beyond our differences and see a fellow human in need of God’s Mercy.  I ask that we force ourselves to be civil.

I believe that if we will do that and make up our minds to see what is happening objectively without bias or prejudice, we will find the path to peace.  I believe that America’s only hope is God!   Love me or hate me for this position, your choice.  But as for me and my house, we Choose the Pathway of Christ and we will serve the Lord!

God bless you and God bless America!

WILL THE LESSONS WE HAVE LEARNED BE APPLIED?


You may ask, “What Lessons?” And you may ask, “Applied to what?”  Thank you for asking and now if you will grant me the latitude and opportunity, I will explain what I mean.  I hope that it will be informative and allow for sanity to return to the American scene.  However, with the level of Woke-ness now existing, I am not sure that anything could bring sanity back.  I pray that I am wrong and that the polls indicating the dissatisfaction with the Biden administration and the Left are right and sanity is being restored in the populace.

We have endured two years of lunacy with regard to the COVID virus and the pandemic that locked down the entire world and some are still locked down.  The effects of that action and the actions embodied in that lockdown will continue to surface into the foreseeable future and they are not good. 

The lockdowns resulted in the complete destruction of much of the world’s economy.  America, most assuredly, has paid a dear price for the draconian measures that fly in the face of all the scientific and medical evidence now revealed.  I am not saying the virus was or is a hoax.  It is not!  It is very real, but the evidence to support mandated vaccines for everyone, masks for the world, and isolation that damaged the human psyche does not exist.  If you believe it does, please follow the mandates and line up single file behind the government pied pipers such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and the CDC.

Our founders warned us that “Freedoms lost are never regained.”  We have willingly given up freedoms in the interest of safety that did not manifest itself.  But, alas, those freedoms we relinquished are possibly forever lost and the toe in the door by the powers that be will become a superhighway of restrictions.  I lament even one person dying from this virus and know too many families who have suffered that loss.  If the government’s mandates and rejection of possible drugs to treat early provided the promised relief, I would support it, but it has not, does not, and will not.

Will we recognize the tyrannical censorship that has occurred by Big Tech at the government’s behest provide a warning that inspires millions to rise up and throw off the shackles of tyranny?  Will the calls for, threats, and desires of those in the government fold for ‘internment camps’ to reeducate those who disagree provide sufficient fuel to cause millions to rise up and reject those bonds of destruction?

Will the war on Christianity, personal faith, and family cause enough concern that millions will reject the mandates, manipulations, and lies spewed forth by the propaganda arms of the Leftists and Globalists?  I continue to be amazed at how willingly Americans and other countries actually clamored for the government to strip them of their rights and to dominate their lives.  All this, for the impossible promise of the government to protect them from the invisible virus they deemed capable of annihilating the population of the world.

I believe that every human life matters and is important!  Sadly, we have entered an era in human history when our American government is pressing to contest that idea and offer curricula to be taught to our children and the public that elevates some ethnicities above others.  That is wrong, anti-American, anti-biblical, and destructive.  Will we recognize the poison of that pollution and apply the lesson to future governments?  I can only hope.

Our government and various entities in this present age have made human life nothing more than a number.  When society descends to the place of depravity that human life is only a number, it buries its conscience beneath a mountain of statistics and genocide becomes easy.  As Pogo said, “We have seen the enemy and it is us.”  Unfortunately, too few are willing to step forward and accept the target on their backs by speaking out and unifying, to reject this present lunacy.

As I peruse the mountain of documented evidence of the damage done by the lockdowns and the lack of benefit and effectiveness of the measures imposed to flatten the curve, I weep.  As I view that information, the statistical, medical, and scientific data I conclude that it is the work of diabolical evil in the name of the better good that has enacted these policies. 

Let me share a scenario that I read somewhere and apply it to this present conundrum.  It goes like this…A serial killer is preying on a community, but both the mayor and chief of police are focused on protecting their positions and jurisdictions.  The police arrest a suspect that appears guilty.  The jury convicts the individual and the murders ceased.  But, years later, new evidence is uncovered that indicates an investigator planted evidence to secure an arrest and the person in prison is not guilty. 

What do we do?  In a moral society, the evidence of impropriety would be made public and a move to ensure that justice is done.  But that would mean that the police force and civilian authorities’ reputations would be damaged, and the public would feel less safe.  What happens, too often, is a conspiracy of silence occurs and the new information is suppressed supposedly for the better good.  I suggest that this is a scenario that could be applied to the actions of our government and entities in this pandemic.

I insist that government officials and bureaucracies can never be trusted to police themselves.  Power corrupts and ultimate power corrupts ultimately.  The more power the federal, state, and local authorities are allowed the more they desire.  We move from seemingly insignificant losses of liberty to total loss of liberty.  We metamorphosis from a few rogue officials into an oligarchy which becomes a despotic dictatorship.  Liberty lost is never regained short of a revolution.  That revolution could be bloodless but seldom is.

In the United Kingdom answered a Freedom of Information request to answer the question, “Can you advise on deaths purely from COVID with no underlying causes?”  The answer was shocking or should be.  I do not mean the simple numbers, but that the data has been available to doctors, epidemiologists, data scientists, and public policymakers all along.  They either ignored it or they were aware of it and proceeded to take us down the path taken without justification.

As of today, about 140,000 people have died in England and Wales from COVID.  Of that number only about 17,000 were in people with zero comorbidities.  The report indicates that since the beginning of the pandemic only 3.774 of the people in England and Wales who succumbed to COVID-19 were healthy individuals with zero comorbidities under the age of 65. That is approximately 2.7%

If that information is available in the United Kingdom, then it cannot be assumed that it is not readily available in the United States.  Couple that with admissions from Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, the largest vaccine maker.  He said, “And we know that the two doses of the vaccine offer very limited protection if any.  The three doses, with the booster, they offer reasonable protection against hospitalization and death and again, that’s I think very good and less protection against infection.” 

One additional note, that should cause everyone to take note, is that 75% of the COVID deaths in the United Kingdom were among the fully vaccinated.   In, Israel has reported that most hospitalized patients in Israel were fully vaccinated.  Even our own Dr. Fauci, according to NBC News has acknowledged that hospitalizations are rising in the U.S. among the fully vaccinated.

This is not meant to be a pro or anti-vaccine blog but one that says, The Government is not trustworthy and unless we learn that lesson and throw off the chains of tyranny, we will find that one crisis after another surfaces to completely obliterate our Constitution and Inalienable Rights.  Do what you feel you must regarding COVID.  I do not desire anyone to suffer the horrors of any illness that can result in death.  But something bigger than COVID seems to be at work here.  What will we do?  What can we do?  My conviction is that we first return to God and proceed from there.

God bless you and God bless America!

HEY, I’M A VICTIM, NOTHING IS MY FAULT…


That seems to be the mindset of multitudes today.  I sometimes become amused at their denial or pretense that they are the misunderstood victim.  The image of the TV Steve Urkel on TV sitcom Family Matters.  His famous line was, “Did I do that?”  Yes, Steve, you did it and yes, people we are responsible for our actions. 

I laughed some time back when P.J. O’Rourke declared: “Liberals have invented whole college majors – psychology, sociology, and women’s studies – – to prove that nothing is anybody’s fault.”  Now, I am not suggesting there is no value in those studies but his statement that the objective was to give everyone a free pass from responsibility and accountability was what triggered my response.  I laughed because he had the daring to say it and cried because that condition is so prevalent it is frightening.

We are in an era where the weaponized intelligence and law enforcement arms of the federal government are being employed to destroy some and protect others depending on their status in the ‘Old Boy Crony Community’ in Washington.  We have witnessed the media become transformed from news reporting agencies to news-making propaganda arms of political parties and activism objectives and causes.

The incessant projecting and blame-shifting that is transpiring is more than troubling it is dangerous and a threat to our Republic and Freedom.  The hatred for Donald John Trump was so pronounced that the political establishment utilized every tool they could find to destroy him and anyone supporting his objectives.  I agree he can be quite caustic and crude, but he attempted to do most of what he declared he wanted to do for us, the American citizens.  He, like Ronald Reagan, sought to restrict the government rather than allowing the government to continue restricting us.  I believe that was the intent of our Founding Fathers and the Constitution.

The media was the voice of the FBI and the Leftists spreading the lies that were debunked regarding Russia Gate.  They have not stopped, and they keep adding to the list of things they spin all designed to restrict the citizen and strip us of our inalienable rights.  They are hell-bent on ensuring that Donald J. Trump will never again be able to run for president.  Will they succeed?  I don’t know but with the turncoats like Romney and others in the Republican Party, they may well succeed. 

We have witnessed the ‘mostly peaceful protests’ as the media and Democrats describe the riots, looting, burning, and destruction in America.  The reaction of law enforcement, district attorneys, the Justice Department, and the media is to decry any violence and justify those actions, and insist it is not the fault of the rioters, but the fault of those of us who support the Constitution, the Bible, and Life.  We are the oppressors in their view and those committing acts of violence and crimes in protest are the victims.  It’s not their fault and they have no accountability.  That mindset will bring down the Republic.

The more recent event in Waukesha, Wisconsin where the inane or insane act by the District Attorney to grant no bail or low bail to Darrell Brooks, Jr. resulted in his driving an SUV into a Christmas parade, killing innocent citizens.  This is one of the dozens of events that resulted in the loss of life or property by innocent people because of the woke mentality of white oppression being the blame for all crimes and problems regarding racial relations and within minority communities.  Whatever happened to personal responsibility and holding the guilty accountable?

Now, let’s consider the infamous Alec Baldwin.  His assertion should win him an Oscar for playing the part of an innocent victim.  He blames the evil gun for killing Halyna Hutchings.  He says that he never pulled the trigger although others on the set said he did, and the trigger pull was not part of the script.  He admits to releasing the hammer but denies pulling the trigger.  I’m sure he will find a way to blame Trump or those of us who support him.  After all, It’s not his fault, he is an innocent victim.  Yeah, and pigs fly over my house daily bothering my unicorns eating green cheese from the moon.

How about Stacey Abrams among others that although she lost the election insists, she actually won.  Maybe it’s because she identifies as the governor of Georgia.  At the same time, she was claiming that she won but the election was stolen from her blasted President Trump for his challenge to the way the presidential election was handled in Georgia.  Seems like speaking out of both sides of the mouth to me.

We faced a Christmas season where organized theft rings in San Francisco and other municipalities in America, mostly in Democratic-led cities stripped stores of their products.  The state Attorney General shouted that his successful prosecution of some of the criminals and believed it would deter others.  Rob Bonta successfully navigated the court to sentence five of the six thieves he prosecuted. Thieves who stole and fenced millions worth of merchandise.  What did they get?

Danny Drago, one of the thieves has not been sentenced but according to the record, Flower was sentenced to three years in state prison, but the judge agreed to spare her from that time behind bars if she completes two years’ probation and spends 364 days in San Mateo County jail.  Morales and Villanueva were sentenced to probation. Villatoro was sentenced to probation and 30 days jail time.  Wow!  I’m impressed with those heavy sentences for theft of millions, the destruction of private property, and the disruption of the lives of the community around them.  I hope you can see my tongue firmly planted in my cheek and sense my sarcasm.

The illustrious Attorney General Rob Bonta believes this will deter others from committing crimes.  His assertion to such made me laugh, cry, become angry and I had to restrain myself from throwing something at my television.  When you add to that the Soros-funded policies of District Attorney Chesa Boudin to release people from jail unless they threatened public safety.  Non-accountability for crime resulted in the forced release of a woman who stole $40,000 worth of merchandise.

America, we are living in a time where everyone (one the Left) is a law to themselves and doing what is right in their own eyes.  That is a dangerous situation because human beings are not angels and in our era of moral failure that endangers every law-abiding, God-fearing, morally conscious citizen.  When marauding bands of criminals can rove through cities and communities with impunity and find the media, the woke prosecutors, and politicians insisting they are not at fault but victims, we are in danger of losing the Republic. 

I can envision a time when every citizen must be armed to the teeth to protect his or her home, family, life, and property.  The idea of victimization being advanced by the woke community is a dire threat to peaceful existence and will disrupt our Republic.  If we want to keep our Republic and Freedom, we MUST oust the corrupt and incompetent politicians and bureaucrats and restore America to Constitutionalism and restore our moral mooring.

God bless you and God bless America.

WHAT DO THE HEADLINES TELL US ABOUT MODERN AMERICA?


Taking the headlines and lining them up for review has been a strategy of mine for a long time.  Even before I read the article, I will lay out the headlines side by side to see the theme of the message the media (conservative and liberal) is attempting to convey.  It frequently reveals the root cause of the events transpiring and the direction or desired direction of the politicians, pundits, and media.  It invites one to use critical thinking which prods one to dig deeper and allows the discovery of the root to be reviewed.

One headline I saw referred to what happens when people stop believing the government and the media.  Although I suggest that this condition is not new, it is a worthy consideration in 2022.  Sadly, too many have memories about as long as gnat’s eyelash and fail to connect the dots of the data provided in history.  I capsulize the answer to the question by saying society crumbles, governments topple, and distrust becomes the driving force.  It opens the door to potential and likely chaos and open rebellion and resistance.

I believe that the Soviet Union collapsed largely because everybody lied to everybody else and distrust in the economic and political systems collapsed.  In today’s America, Diogenes would be hard-pressed to find an honest man in politics or the media.  The government has been exposed for lying to the public. The media has been caught with their pants down and exposed themselves as liars, propagandists, and unworthy of listenership. 

In today’s American Pravda and politics, there is no longer a pretense to seek any plausibility.  The end justifies the means, and their agenda takes precedence over the needs and best good of the people.  The Republic is secondary to their quest for power and control.  We are fed fallacious information from the media and governmental bureaucracies.  The USDA made the easily debunkable claim that “2021 retail food price inflation continued at the same pace as 2020.” 

We are headed down the same path as the Soviets, in large measure, because the media has become nothing more than propaganda arms of the Leftists agenda.  There are some rays of hope in the emergence of some real media outlets who seek to engage in journalism, not propaganda.  We must find ways to bypass Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.  We must be alert and while we are distrusting of the government and media, we need to keep our eye on the prize for occasionally they unintentionally tell us their agenda and we can strategize against it.

The mania and the politically correct world of the WOKE have infected our society and people, previously sane and reasonable have surrendered to the smears hurled at them.  I have been warning for some time that the Left is seeking to end our religious liberty and freedom.  Biden has, as is his modus operandi, engaged in hassling Religious Colleges demanding they join the WOKE agenda.

If we lose our Religious Freedom, we will find ourselves either abandoning our core convictions and faith or risking jail or worse.  This administration is opening Title IX investigations on Religious Universities and Colleges for maintaining moral standards.  If you quote, teach, or preach the Bible you are deemed a racist, bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, and may be labeled a domestic terrorist.  They are demanding that we abandon our core beliefs, or they will put us out of business.  So much for the Declaration of Independence’s stated objective and view.

Many of us have shouted from the rooftop for decades the importance of the United States Supreme Court.  Sadly, too few have taken our warnings to heart.  We have encouraged everyone to pressure our Senators and our Congressmen and women to insist on any nominee being a Strict Constructionist and Originalist.  If we fail to interpret the Constitution as it was intended, we will find it an ever-morphing document that is meaningless and a tool for destruction for those who desire to fundamentally transform us into something other than the Free Constitutional Republic designed by our Founders.

President Biden has vowed to nominate a Black female justice and no others need to apply.  Not that anyone openly applies and campaigns for the nomination.  I am convinced that his nominee will be a carrot to appease the WOKE wing of his party and an attempt to appease the Black community.  His nominee will undoubtedly be more liberal and more of a political activist than Justice Stephen Breyer. 

Biden said, “I have made no decision except one: The person I nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience, and integrity.”  I would applaud that if it were the truth.  He insisted that his nominee will be the first Black woman nominated.  I do not mind that it is a woman or that that woman is Black or any other ethnicity.  That is not my concern.  My concern is will, the nominee view, the Constitution as an ever-evolving document or as it was originally constructed and intended.

The Supreme Court is extremely important in many aspects and actions of the government.  One is how they rule on DOJ activities and end-runs around the constitution and the Law.  Recently it was revealed that Special Investigator Durham’s court filing revealed that the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz withheld key evidence from the Special Counsel. 

Horowitz concealed crucial information from John Durham in connection with the ongoing prosecution of Michael Sussmann, a former attorney to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.  He failed to disclose that his office is in possession of two cellphones used by former FBI general counsel James Baker.  He failed to disclose that Sussmann sought a meeting with Horowitz the IG.  He said to Durham’s team that he had no other filer or documentation relating to this cyber matter.  That was a lie!   That is a crime!  But how will the courts rule? 

We are being invaded by illegals with the aid, of the federal government or the Biden administration.  Sheriffs in border states are pushing back over the Biden administration’s ‘secret flights’ of illegals shipping them to various locations across inland America.  They call this activity “government-sanctioned human trafficking.”  It is diabolical in its design and is part of the plan to seize full control of our elections and our nation.  America, the Left, namely the Democratic Party and their activists are no longer attempting to veneer any hint of plausibility to their lies.  They are openly seeking to transform America into a Liberal Leftists Oligarchy that will lead to a totalitarian regime which they control.

We can defeat them by being informed and by standing our ground for Faith, Family, and Freedom.  We must unite and fight this assault and attempted coup on our Republic.  What we do in this year’s election will set the tone for the future and if we fail, we can kiss our freedom goodbye. 

God bless you and God bless America!

WE MUST RETURN TO GOD…


I realize that this blog post may not win friends and influence people positively in some camps.  I cannot be concerned about that.  I am not attempting to be caustic or divisive but based on my Christian worldview and my commitment to God, I believe that we have erred, as a nation, in our drift from God and the Bible.  You may disagree and that is your right and privilege.

One can argue, inaccurately that our Founding Fathers were opposed to anything of the Bible and God being taught in the public schools or embraced in government.  There are too many references and direct quotes from them at the time of the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that counters that view for me to spend much time on it. 

However, I will cite a few references in my comments and plea for a return to our moral moorings and in that to God and the Bible.  All roads do not lead to heaven.  You may believe that, but I stand on the Bible, and it is expressively clear that Jesus is the way to the Father and there is only one way to heaven and that is through His Grace – Salvation.  Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Light and He said, “No man comes to the Father but by me.”  He is the Door!  If you choose to unfriend me or challenge me, that is your prerogative and I respect your right to hold your own views and express them.  That won’t sway me in my convictions, but I won’t become argumentative and hateful. 

The Father of American Education and author of Webster’s Dictionary of 1828, had this to say regarding the Bible in schools: “In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government, ought to be instructed.”

Webster defined the word education as: “EDUCATION, n. The bringing up, as of a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts, and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.” [Emphasis added]

Fischer Ames who is considered the author of the First Amendment supported the Bible in public education.  He said: “Why should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a schoolbook?  Its morals are pure, its examples captivating and noble.  The reverence for the Sacred Book that is thus early impressed lasts long; and probably if not impressed in infancy, never takes firm hold of the mind.”

He further stated: “We have a dangerous trend beginning to take place in our education. We’re starting to put more and more textbooks into our schools. … We’ve become accustomed of late to putting little books in the hands of children containing fables with moral lessons. We are spending less time in the classroom on the Bible, which should be the principal text in our schools. The Bible states these great moral lessons better than any other manmade book.”

Another of our Founding Fathers, Benjamin Rush, asserted his support powerfully saying, “If we were to remove the Bible from public schools, we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.”  That is exactly what we have done!  The incorrect view that the founding fathers wanting nothing of God, Christianity, or the Bible in education or government has brought us to the precipice of losing our republic to tyranny and despotism.

We are rapidly reaching the place where those in power in Washington, state, and local entities are becoming Hitleresque and imposing regulations and mandates that are in direct conflict with the American Constitution.  However, they do so in the name of safety and use the phrase, “for the good of all.”  Benjamin Franklin is credited with saying, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”  That may sound harsh and cruel, but it was insightful to the reality that rights, freedoms, and liberties once ceded are never regained.  Governments nor Tyrants ever, short of a revolution, give back the lost rights.

In the Engel v. Vitale case (1962), the United States Supreme Court ruled 6-1 against New York’s Regents’ prayer, a non-denominational prayer which, state education officials had composed for public school children to recite.  One year later, a case originated by a Philadelphia area man named Ed Schempp challenged mandatory Bible reading in Pennsylvania schools.  The case went to the Supreme Court, and they ruled 8-1 that devotional Bible reading or other government-sponsored religious activities in public schools was unconstitutional.  They were wrong based on the writings of the Founding Fathers’ original intent.

If you honestly examine Engel v. Vitale, you will discover something that is ignored or missed by local schools and most citizens.  The court did not say the students could not organize and offer prayer only that the schools themselves could not.  However, the reality is that Prayer has been banned based on what is happening.  If you wear a Christian T-shirt to school, you will likely be sent home.  However, if you wear one depicting almost anything else you will likely not be sent home.  That is discrimination and religious persecution. 

We may soon have a government mandate and program where the government issues every citizen an N95 mask and failure to wear it could result in incarceration or worse.  We may soon find ourselves so policed in our speech and thought that anything other than the defined government acceptable ideology and agenda will be deemed hate speech, insurrection, and sedition.  Under government laws, the latter of those could result in long prison sentences and even execution.  Am I being melodramatic and exaggerating?  Not intentionally, because there are proposals for those very things floating around the Halls of Congress, the White House, and other segments of government.

Even now, the Department of Justice has brought charges of sedition against the leader of Oath Keepers and other members of that group.  This is all tied to the January 6th incident in Washington.  In using this tactic, they are attempting to make January 6th an organized preplanned attempt to overtake and overthrow the government by Trump and his supporters.   Some of the events may have been preplanned but the evidence suggests it was not Trump supporters or with Trump’s support.  We are treading on very thin ice, and this shows how tedious the state of the Republic really is.

If we return to God as 2 Chronicles 7:14 admonishes and practice the Christian lifestyle and manner we would find love rather than hate being sown throughout our society.  We would find that there was more tolerance of differing views rather than intense vitriolic hatred.  We would find more listening to opposing views rather than attempting to silence all voices that disagree with our position.  The Bible says, “God is Love!”  It does not say that He has love but that He is love.  If He lives in our hearts, we too will manifest love.

If you are on the Right or the Left and you are spewing hate, you are part of the problem not a pathway to a solution.  I do not want to see a Civil War.  I want to see a return of America to a Republic where all are viewed as being created equal and have certain inalienable rights including, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.  The problem in America is not simply Right vs. Left, Republican vs. Democrat, or Conservative vs. Liberal.  It is a heart problem.  I do not mean the organ in the chest that pumps blood but that part of us that makes us who we are and drives our actions and interactions.

I believe that in these last days there will be those who earnestly seek to return to God and demonstrate love.  There will be others who become rigid in opposition and the resulting persecution and hate may push us over the precipice of destruction into a Civil War and many on both sides will perish.  In that scenario, the Republic will crumble, and everyone will pay a severe price.

We need to return to God and our moral foundations.  I pray we do.  God bless you and God bless America!

HOW BAD IS THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY?


Among the many problems transpiring during the Biden presidency and as a result of the Biden policies is the “Supply Chain” issue.  Good news if you are a Leftist who desires to fundamentally transform America and destroy our Republic, IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE!  That’s right, I am telling you without needing to be prophetic that the supply issue is going to get worse.

The unyielding position of the Leftists on the mandates is now affecting truckers and the railroad and if they go on strike, you had better be stocked up in non-perishables.  You may or may not have seen the selves increasingly becoming empty as in the early days of the pandemic, but you will. 

Many Americans who work for a living have reached the point of no return in their tolerance of the draconian mandates issued by this administration and other governmental entities.  Truckers are saying, “Enough” and when they do, if the railroad follows suit, we are in deep trouble.  The Canadian truckers have had enough and should a significant number of eighteen-wheeler drivers from either nation decide to sit this one out, we are in trouble!

The Burlington Northern – Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad may have 17,000 works out on strike soon.  If that happens, the supply issues in the United States will take an incredibly disruptive hit.  We depend on the railroad and truckers to get goods from one location to another.  If items are not being shipped, supply ends, and shelves become bare.  That invites looting, mayhem, and home invasions if it continues for very long.  The last empty shelves issue is still a bad taste in the mouths of many.

What is the issue with the BNSF?  A new work policy to be implemented on February 1, 2022, which disregards the health issues, exhaustion, and inept scheduling is the straw that may break the camel’s back for the workers.  These situations with the railroad and truckers can be directly tied to the Biden administration’s inept and insane policies and assaults on our economy and our freedoms.

President Joe Biden’s actions are intolerable, and I predict that America will not long stand for it.  We will either unite regardless of political ideology and party affiliation and reject this bunch of destructionists or we will become sheep led to the slaughter and watch America be no more.  I know which choice I will make because I have already made it.  I am not a docile sheep that does not or cannot think for myself.

The old story of the frog and the pan of water is somewhat applicable in today’s America.  If you throw a frog into a pan of boiling water, that frog will immediately leap out.  It may be injured but it won’t die by sitting in the water.  However, if you put the frog in lukewarm water and slowly turn up the heat it will sit there and boil to death. That seems to be what is happening to many today.  They have been slowly turning up the heat and we keep saying, “Well, this too will pass” or “it’s just another political cycle.”  NO!  It is destruction!

I am becoming more and more convinced that most voters do not care about Biden’s agenda.  What they really care about is the day-to-day decline in our economy and the continual usurpations of our liberties and freedoms.  Many are beginning to awaken, and I am hopeful that in November of this year and 2024 we will see a massive turnout that rejects the destruction.  Will that solve all our problems, NO but it will be a good beginning.

A recent IBD/TIPP poll reveals just how dismal he is in the eyes of the voting public.  That poll reported that “The share of Americans who give him an A or B [on handling coronavirus] has fallen from 56% in April to 41% in January.… President Biden’s handling of the economy gets good grades only from 34% of Americans.… President Biden gets good grades from only 28% on the immigration issue.… Only 36% of those who took part in the survey give him good grades for his overall performance.”

I pray that Americans have reached the point they are fed up with grandiose promises.  I pray that we move beyond our complacency and reject the mandates and demand a return to normal.  Well, return to as much normal as is possible in the wake of the damage done already.  We can fix the supply problem, the mandate problem, the energy problem, and the interpersonal and interracial problems in America.  But we have no hope of achieving those objectives if the Left stays in power. 

It is my firm conviction that God will help us, but only if we return to Him and apply the prescription of 2 Chronicles 7:14 to our lives and our nation.  Although this passage was not directed at the unbeliever the people of God, I believe that if the believers will apply it and do it, the unbeliever will see the benefits. 

America is not without fault.  I know no one who uses reason and sound logic with any measure of understanding of our true history that says it is.  We have made mistakes or committed sins that deserve judgment.  However, if we are seeking to extract our pound of flesh for previous sins rather than seeking reconciliation and moving forward together toward the American Ideal of the Declaration of Independence, we will fail. 

The Bible both urges and commands us to love one another.  We know that love covers a multitude of sins.  We know that love seeks the best good of the other person and is willing to work through some wrongs and misguided actions.  We know that love is a healing balm.  Are there those who reject love and prefer hate?  Of course, but I know from experience that love overcomes hate if continuously applied.

If we could convince ourselves of the truth of the assertion of the Declaration of Independence that “All are created equal and endowed with certain unalienable rights by our Creator” we would find common ground to debate our differences.  If I believe you are a person created in the image of God, I will regard you differently and with more respect.  I will recognize that life is filled with choices and each of us has a right to choose what we believe and to express that view.  We do not have the right to infringe upon the inalienable right of another.

America, Joe Biden has been a dismal failure! Many of us knew that he would be, but most of us did not realize just how terrible and destructive he would be in the first year.  I believe God warned us, history warned us, and some preachers were bold enough to warn us.  The only thing I heard in my spirit before the 2020 election was, “The election is up to you.”  I was staggered when I heard that.  I first thought it was up to Roy Beaird, but then I realized that God was telling me that it was up to the believers!

We were repeatedly urged to apply 2 Chronicles 7:14 individually and collectively.  Rather than doing that the Church began to choose sides and go to war with each other.  We did not, on a national scale, follow the directive.  That directive was multifaceted.  God’s People are the people to do this.  The first command was to humble ourselves.  We did not do that but rather took a position of pridefulness and blasted others rather than focusing on our sins.  The next was to Pray AND Seek God’s Face.  In doing that we were to turn from our wicked ways.  Rather, we said, “I have no sin, it’s the other side that is wrong.”   God said, THEN, I will hear… THEN, I will forgive… THEN, I will heal their land.

America, I ask that you join me in a national time of repentance, seeking God’s face, turning from evil to good, and praying.  We can see America restored, but it will not be without casualties and difficulty. 

God bless you and God bless America!

NOT TRYING TO START A WAR, BUT I HAVE QUESTIONS…


Let me say at the outset, I am not trying to increase the divide between those who are pro-vaccine and those who are anti-vaccine.  I have said from the beginning, that I view this as a personal choice.  I believe that it is none of my business, your business, or the government’s business who is and who is not vaccinated.  I view it as a matter that each individual must assess through their own research and in prayer.  If you feel good about it, then do it.  If you do not, then be at peace and follow your heart.  I know that some on both sides will find that repulsive and may seek to castigate and vilify me.  Please don’t.  You want to be respected for your choice, so I ask that you respect others for theirs.

If we are honest, there are some discrepancies that should raise questions.  I, for one, am unable to blindly accept whatever the CDC, the WHO, the so-called experts (who disagree), and the White House on this matter.  I am not saying the threat is not as serious as the White House and Dr. Fauci are claiming.  However, if it is then why did the White House turn down a proposal that would have added more than 730 million at-home COVID tests to the market per month? 

They have suggested that they are going to seek to bolster rapid home tests through the “FDA’s regulatory approval process.”  I find that incredibly interesting since that was not the approach to rush the vaccine to market.  If tests will help to identify those positive and allow them to seek early treatment, why would it not be desirable to supply adequate test kits?

The administration even suggested that the United States, “Did not have the capacity to manufacture over-the-counter tests at that scale.”  Seriously?  Why Not?  If we have the capacity to produce the vaccine, why not the test kits?  Is there a reason to not allow citizens to test themselves in their own homes which would result in more tests being done?  Is it more lucrative and controllable to test people at a control site than at their own discretion at home?  I don’t know the answer, but with a minimum of $13,000 provided to hospitals for each positive test, I wonder.

Former Customs and Border Protection commissioner, Mark Morgan reported that this administration allowed 600,000 migrants to illegally enter the United States without testing or mandating them to be vaccinated?  Why one policy for the illegals and another for law-abiding citizens?  At least one reason for such a high number of illegal entrants is that 60-70% of our Border Patrol have been pulled off the front lines.  None of them are being screened for COVID or any other disease, so it seems.  Why?  If COVID is the threat they insist, and it may be, why would they not insist on testing those coming here legally or illegally?

The insistence of a Vaccine Passport is troubling on many levels, and I view it as a direct conflict with the constitutional guarantees for Americans.  It smacks with tyrannical despotism and something that is done in Authoritarian Dictatorships around the world, not Free America.  But alas, that is the call and more citizens than I am comfortable with endorse such a move.  I am reminded of Benjamin Franklin’s assertion: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”  At what level of usurpation of our Freedoms will we draw the line in the sand?  The Bible says that “God has not given us the spirit of fear…”  (2 Timothy 1:7).

Are we entering an era in America where we have to show our papers to the modern Gestapo to participate in a Free Society?  Is that freedom?  That is easily a precursor and conditioning tool for the entrance of the Mark of the Book of Revelation.  I did not say this was the mark!   Alarmingly, this plan is being rolled out around the world and in some, heretofore, democratic republics.  It is being implemented in some large U.S. cities such as Washington, D.C., New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.  Others would and probably will if these are allowed to stand.  Those with much power are seizing and amassing even more.  Is that the objective?

The World Health Organization published a guide for this process in August 2021.  The title of this guidance is Technical Specifications and Implementation Guidance on Digital Documentation of Covid-19 Certificates.  That sounds like a Pandora’s Box that will lead us to Biblical prophecies that none of us desire to embrace or should not desire to embrace.  It is designed to give commonality for the countries issuing these passports so they can mesh together and network globally.  Who paid for this?  Guess who?  The Bill Gates Foundation and four other funders.

I have never ascribed to the vaccine being the Mark of the Beast, but this is a precursor to anesthetizing people into accepting that kind of event.  It is a forerunner to digital money and a cashless society.  It is a forerunner to tracking every human being on the planet and may even reach the place where we are arrested for potential crimes against humanity or the government before we commit them.  Is that freedom? 

If Covid-19 is dangerous enough to require such austere measures, would it not behoove the government to provide at-home tests for every household.  Would it not behoove the government to make every treatment that has any measure of success available to people at the very outset of symptoms?  Why wait until the person has pneumonia and is incapable of breathing requiring intubation from which few survive?  Why not be proactive rather than reactive? 

The guidance and those pursuing the Vaccine Mandate insist that the vax pass system cannot work if there is a critical mass of people who come together and decide not to use it.  A critical mass!  Interesting and they include both vaccinated and unvaccinated in that equation.  Our federal government is a government by the ‘consent of the people’ not by the ‘coercion of the people.’  If we lose that we lose our freedom.  Again, even if this virus is as dangerous and threatening as they are proclaiming, dare we lose our freedom trying to stop a virus that cannot be seen and penetrates everywhere? 

We have endured pandemics in our history and survived without shutting the world down or mandating that every person comply and have papers to prove their compliance to travel, do commerce, or work?  Is that America?  Will these mandates precipitate the most massive and inclusive Civil Rights movement in our time?

Even a CBS News correspondent has blasted the crushing COVID lockdown policies on kids saying, “They have suffered and sacrificed the most.”  The mental stability of children and adults living under draconian mandates and isolation is yet to be fully investigated.  What we know now is that the suicide rate has increased, family violence has increased, drug addiction and alcoholism have increased.  Is it possible that the draconian tyranny being imposed in the mandates and lockdowns doing more damage than the virus we are seeking to escape?

This correspondent cited statistical data for the scientific community that healthy teens have a “one-in-a-million” chance of catching and dying from the coronavirus.  They have a greater chance of dying in a car crash than COVID.  She cited the statistical data that suicide attempts among girls have risen 51% this past year.  Also, black children are nearly twice as likely to die by suicide as whites.  What are we doing? 

My plea is sanity and civility.  We can accomplish anything if we will work together, talk to each other, and not divide up in camps making people of our own household the enemy.  If we will turn to God and seek His guidance and help, we can overcome this pandemic.  If we will insist that the federal government be “by consent of the people” rather than by ‘coercion’ we can overcome.  Remember in 2022 when you vote where the candidates and their parties stand on the issues and VOTE!

I urge each person to follow their hearts and listen for the guidance of the Spirit of God in this and all matters!

God bless you and God bless America!

AMERICA IS IN DEEP EXCREMENT…


Yes, I said it and that is exactly what I see.  I try to look at things realistically from a biblical view. I attempt to take what God has said in His Word and apply His Words to my life and my world.  That frequently places me in the crosshairs of those on the Left, the P.C. Police, and those who mistakenly position themselves as pacificists in the name of tolerance. 

I am often told that if we would just show the Love of God, we will eventually win those on the other side to become morally right in their lives and views.  To that I say, as have others, to take that position you have to dismiss well over half of the New Testament.  We are to be salt and light.  If we are to be light, we have to bring truth to the table and present it articulately.  I believe the directive that was given in 1 Peter 3:15 – “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.”  ESV.

Sadly, those on both sides of the issue are taking positions of vilification rather than reconciliation.  We don’t listen carefully and fully.  We listen until we hear something we do not like, and we lash out.  That is destructive, not productive.  I am not suggesting that we abandon our convictions and beliefs, but that we counter with a godlike demeanor and soften our words, not our message.

Why do I say that America is in deep excrement?  One of the many reasons is the utter failure of both the Supreme Court and Congress.  Their actions on so many fronts indicate that they are either ignorant of the constitution or have chosen to ignore it.  We could rehash the many failures of both, but the latest involves the COVID mandates.  I don’t care which side of the vaccination issue you fall on this should be of interest to you. 

The case, National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) v. Department of Labor (OSHA) which mandates that employers with at least 100 persons must submit to the vaccination or be regularly tested.  That mandate applied to 84 million workers.  This was to provide a pathway for the administration to regulate business without congressional legislation.  That is a usurpation of both the 10th amendment and our personal liberty and freedom guaranteed by the constitution. 

It seems that the frequent waffler Chief Justice Roberts believed that the government had overreached stating that COVID mitigation policies would best be left to the states and Congress.  Justice Neil Gorsuch endorsed that view.  In the discussion, Justice Stephen Breyer made the Bidenesque claim that was “750 million new cases yesterday, or close to it, that is a lot.”  He seemed to forget that there are only 334 million Americans and he insisted that vaccines and masks would prevent 100% of coronavirus infections.  WOW!  With that wisdom, I believe you can see why I suggest the deep excrement.

But Breyer’s idiotic assertion was surpassed by Justice Sonia Sotomayor.  She compared human beings to machines.  She said, “Why is a human being not like a machine if it’s spewing a virus, blood-borne viruses?” She falsely claimed that there were 100,000 children in serious condition from COVID-19.  The inconvenient truth as reported by the Health and Human Services confirmed that pediatric hospitalizations were 3,342.  Justice Sotomayor, where do you get your facts?  I know, you got the talking points of the Leftists and regurgitated them.  That is not what you are to do as a Supreme Court Justice.  You are to be apolitical in your view.  You are to judge according to the constitution, not personal ideology.

To take this a step further the sitting president, Joe Biden, and his Democratic cohorts have mastered the art of psychological projection.  They seem to be incapable of recognizing the truth and displaying honesty, so they accuse the Republicans, Conservatives, and Christians who hold to biblical moral standards of practicing their own sins.  Whatever you hear them accusing the other side of is usually what they are guilty of. 

Mr. Biden accused Trump and his supports of being those who seek to ‘dismantle our democracy.’  Congressman Eric Swalwell, D-California offered his lament, “I’m worried that if Republicans win the midterm elections, that voting in this country as we know it will be gone.”  Congressman, that is exactly what your side is trying to do, end voting and become an oligarchy or dictatorship.  Again, they spout lies, hysteria, paranoia, and play on the fears of those who are ill-informed or uninformed.

Another factor in our placement in the excrement is a new poll that shows only 11% of adults (I say that loosely) believe that Joe Biden is a strong leader.  Someone said, “That same 11% believe that Tiger Woods is a scary place for a picnic.”  On the other side of that coin, 57% consider him to be a weak leader. 

The president’s comments on the events of January 6, 2021, included the declaration that we are in a battle for the soul of America.  He is right but not for the reasons he cited.  He is pitting one side against another rather than seeking to find common ground, open discussion, or any semblance of tolerance.  He is, by his rhetoric inciting a civil war in America.  If you disagree with him or them, they claim that you are an insurrectionist, anarchist, racist, homophobic pig and need to be reeducated or eradicated. 

I do not make New Year’s Resolutions but take the opportunity at the beginning of each year to reflect on the year passed and seek to chart a better course.  I look for opportunities rather than focusing on failures or difficulties.  In the past year, we were inundated with fearmongering and there was a genuine attempt to strip us of our American Spirit.  Patriotism was in the crosshairs as were the home, family, morals, and anything conservative.  

If we do not return to a condition in which we apply biblical principles and learn to respect the rights of others to have a dissenting view we will end in chaos and destruction.  I agree with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich that America is broken and both sides need to stop ranting and start listening.  The Old Testament’s eye for an eye needs to be replaced with the New Testament’s love they neighbor and the realization that vengeance does not belong to man but God.

We need to rediscover the art of listening.  We do not have to agree on all things but at least listen, we just might learn something constructive and develop an understanding of why people think as they do.  In that discovery, we can find responses that are not caustic but informative.

We need to allow ourselves to learn new things, and, in that discovery, we need each other.  None of us have a full picture of reality.  None of us have a full understanding of the truth.  If I learn to add what you know and share with what I know, I am much more informed and hopefully wiser.

We need to commit ourselves to helping our fellow man and our country.  We need to become involved in our communities, churches, and our government.  Each year we see the ravages of natural disasters, addiction, homelessness, and crime.  If we would reach out our hands and our hearts to those in need, we would find compassion becoming stronger and, in that state, we could make America better.

Again, I ask not one to abandon their convictions or beliefs, but I do ask that we restrain ourselves from tit for tat and insult for insult.  Soft answers can turn away wrath.  If I show another understanding and actually listen, I find that their anger, over time, subsides and I am able to communicate.  They may not accept my presentation of truth but at least they hear me. 

God bless you and God bless America!
