According to the news, the US is no no longer supporting Israel. Biden essentially told Israel to stop defending herself. That marks a very important change in national protocol and one the US will suffer for. I don’t speak as a profit. I base the prediction on very clear scripture.

We better hope Trump wins the election and he moves our support again behind Israel.

Besides, it is logical we should stand behind our only real ally in the most strategic parcel of land in the world.

Some would say that Jesus is the best way for salvation. Actually, that is not true. The fact is that Jesus is the only way.

Once you believe you are in the need for salvation; once know that Jesus is the only way to salvation, you are well on your way. The gift of salvation has been offered. However, it will not be forced on you. You must receive the gift in faith.

To be sure, gifts are not eared, even in part. That which is earned even in part is a wage.

Why!

I made a cash purchase today. The cashier asked for my member card. When I told her I didn’t have one, she wanted my phone number and or address. I said why? What do you need it for?

I interrupted her reply. “I’m paying cash. You don’t even need so much as need to know who I am.”

A short time later, I was gone, purchase in hand. Some time later it occurred to me, businesses and organizations get far too much from us.

It is true, if I am going to buy a house or car, I do need to identify myself. If all I’m buying is an extension cord, no, not at all. Moreover, I am beginning to think I need to make more and more anonymous purchases. They don’t need to know me. They don’t need to know what I buy or where.

I just might start carrying more cash and stop using my debit card as much. Some things, I’ll especially go out of my way to conceal what and where I buy. The fact that that they want my phone number irritates me.

They don’t need it or my address. Maybe if all of us went back to paying cash, we’d all be better off, in as much as possible, anyway.

The cashier was only following instructions. However, for what purpose were the instructions? Who benefits from the info? How?

We ridded the airwaves of cigarette ads, but now we have ads encouraging marijuana products and gambling.

Some trade. I think I prefer the cigarette ads, cancer and all.

Every day our ears are barraged by stories in the news. Every evening the news media chooses to fill our minds with lies about the killing by the Israelis army.

While we listen, let us not forget three undeniable facts. It was HAMAS that chose war, not Israel. HAMAS can stop the war any time by putting down their weapons. Finally, if Israel puts down their weapons, one day HAMAS will strike again and again until there is no Israel.

If that is forgotten, the media has succeeded and deceit will have won. Mostly, it will permit the war to go on and on and on.

When I saw the suggestion of writing about my favorite exercises, I gave it some thought. Finally, I came up with swimming. After I wrote it, a few more things came to mind. First, swimming at the beach is the best. In my youth, I spent hour after hour playing in the waves. There is just nothing better and so many different ways.

Even today, I would love to live near a beach, even if it was to stand just among the waves. It’s just really great. Alas, today, the beaches are effectively reserved for those who have a lot of money, or during the winter.

There is also a type of exercise I really liked. Perhaps the reason I didn’t immediately think about it is because I only did it once. It was at an amusement park close to Long Beach with a friend. The 2 of us paid for half an hour workout on trampolines.

I must say, I would have loved to go on hours. The next day, I am so glad I had only enough money for the half hour. I was so soar I could hardly stand, let alone walk.

It totally came on by surprise. I was in junior high and in really good shape, well maybe not as good as I thought. Since then, I have not found a place that rented trampolines by the half hour. Well, maybe, just recently. I think there is a place up the street. I am so tempted to look inside to verify it. I just might be crazy enough to try it. I would either have a blast or kill myself. On the other hand I might break my neck. It is a time to remember I am 76.

On the other hand, if I didn’t hurt myself, I just might get in the best shape of my life.

You see large crowds with big professionally made signs with catchy sayings. What you’re unaware of is that about 75% of those in the crowd are homeless and or drug dependents who are there because of the dollar or two they’ve been given. Well, maybe they were promised a “free” meal.

Besides, this, of course, those working the cameras are coached on the right shots to make crowd look bigger. Moreover, the people in the crowd are told to hold the signs higher when the cameras are pointed at them.

The dems learned the trick a long time ago. I call it warping the concepts. It makes it look like something has far more backing. After a while, it becomes self fulfilling. People like getting on board with a winning idea, right or wrong. Used to be called getting on the bandwagon.

On the other hand, when someone tries to set up a Republican demonstration, the videos are taken earlier, before everyone gets there. They use angles that make the crowd look smaller. Then too, they have actual real, demonstrators. None are paid to be there.

Finally, most Republicans have real jobs where they must be or they will go hungry. Many of the dems are on the dole anyway. They don’t need to punch a time clock. Therefore, it is more difficult for Republicans to get away and demonstrate.

It all works together to warp the concepts of the demonstrations.

The minimum wage for California fast food workers is now 20 dollars an hour. I would have thunk they figured it out. They obviously didn’t.

As I have said, I am not a prophet, but I don’t need to be to predict their future.

a. more U-Hauls will be leaving California.

b. less people will will be visiting the California McDonald’s

c. the number of tourists visiting California will decrease, which will counter all that advertising they’ve been doing.

d. finally, there will be far less fast food workers in the state. This will be because there will not be nearly as many fast food employers.

Let’s get this straight. The real purpose of any business is gain revenue by providing a product or service at a profit. Where there is no profit, I assure you, there will be no business, there will be no product or service, and there will be no customers. It’s kinda the way things work, unless the government gets in the way.
