I watched it twiced. That was enough for me. Among other things, the ads were false advertising. Don’t know what the ratings are, but it’s not for me, which likely means it will be a big hit.

Anybody Remember Ralph Story’s Los Angeles?
I haven’t a clue what made me think of it. I very fondly remember looking forward to seeing it. I do wish they would re-show the series; or at least, make it possible to buy them.
Ralph Story had a segment on CBS news about parts of LA little thought about but very interesting. I sincerely regret I had no means of recording the shows back then. However, apparently they have been archived and some people can access and study them. They are considered important reference material.
It would be nice to see the old shows as they document how LA used to be…before all the liberals destroyed it.
Ever Consider Doing Nothing
I have. I think it just might be difficult, in its own way. You’re on stage. The world famous actor, or maybe singer is in the spotlight saying or maybe singing his lines and your job at the time is to do nothing.
I think it is called supporting acting. Even if you are an important well known actor, sometimes, someone else must step into the spotlight and it is your turn to step back into the shadows.
Sometimes as I watch shows, especially when they are live and repeated day by day and for that little while, the success of the show desperately relies on you keeping your mouth shut and drawing little or no attention to yourself.
Sometimes, when I watch shows, I like watching the supporting actors, doing their job, doing nothing.
Those news readers never get it right
The difference is, now most of us know it.
Nonetheless, lets go over it to keep the misunderstanding down.
- There was no rioting on Jan 6. I didn’t see anyone rioting. Did anybody see any rioting. If you really truly saw any videos of real rioting, please let me know.
- The only one killed was a civilian lying down in a no threat position by a policeman. That video I did see many times.
- Some people did do damage, t admit. However, by now they paid for their crime in the 4 years since.
- There were FBI people in the crowd urging people in.
- A signal needs to be sent that our citizenry should never, ever be treated like that again… Ever.
- Many of those who were charged never entered the building, which makes them not guilty of any inference of any crimes, not even a minor one. Standing on unsecured ground outside is in no wise illegal.
- Finally, again I saw the video many times, Trump never even suggested that they should riot. The dems claimed he did and impeached him for it. They lied and knew they lied over and over. It was totally intentional, being as they too saw the same video I did.
I’m not sending money to LA fire victims
- Just today discovered it would cost me 10 K a month to put my wife in a nursing home. Decided I will hold off just as long as I can. I sure wish I had that 30 K Obama care took from me. It would only last three months, but I think I’d rather the nurses get it instead of the insurance companies.
- Considering where they live, they are likely much, much more better off than I am financially.
- If they are going to continually vote for dems, then they are only getting their education on voting habits. If we should help them rebuild we are just short circuiting their learning process. Even those few who voted Republican need to be more convincing to the neighbors or move to a red state. When CA has only dems living there, it just might speed up the leaning process. You might note some of the most avid anti-communists come out of pro communist nations. Learning firsthand always is most effective.
- If they don’t get help rebuilding, maybe, most possibly, they might not cut firefighting funds while Santa Ana winds are predicted in the near future.
- Finally, and most importantly, they just might be more willing to allow clear cutting of some of the dry brush, aka fuel for wild fires, especially near their homes, businesses and schools.
My guess is less than ten percent learned their lesson. If you’re a dem, you know why more than I do.
My One Complaint
Not only was Carrie Underwood a real trooper under pressure, but she gave a wonderful performance with her wonderful voice. I doubt there was an intentional effort to scuttle her performance, but if it was, it only helped her shine.
However, I did have one complaint. It was too short. I would have liked her to sing at least one more verse. It seemed over before she began. Moreover, suspect I am not the only one who feels that way.
I must admit, though, I did not understand the delay. Even when she was done, I didn’t know what the problem was. It wasn’t until they explained it a while later.
Perhaps, Old Joe Did Us a Favor With All the Pardons
Even so, I wish he hadn’t done it.
Nonetheless, with the pardons, Old Joe pointed a finger at every criminal. Now, though we might not be able to do a thing about it, we will know everyone that was part of the collusion. They won’t be able to get a job in a red state catching dogs.
We also know who their friends and relatives are. Also, while we will not be able to convict them of federal crimes, they are still susceptible to state and civil law suits. Can you imagine some of those characters having to defend themselves from a hundred different civil suits at one time.
Finally, those who escape man’s justice must still face God’s justice. His is always accurate, though not always immediate. Moreover, His punishment does not have the limits of man’s justice. He can hurt a man in ways men don’t know.
Perhaps the one most important thing that should come out of it are the trials conducted in the chambers of congressional committees before the whole of the public. If that trial takes place and the Dems are convicted, it might spell the end of the democrat party, forever.
Too much to hope for? Already we have substantial proof of crimes and criminals. If they lie about it, it is a new crime they can be convicted of. When testifying under oath, they better watch out. They better not lie.
Proof Positive
Old Joe kept saying he needed an act of Congress to close the border. In less than an hour after President Trump took his oath, the gates were closed. Never took one vote from Congress.
It’s proof positive Old Joe didn’t know how or he was fibbing again. If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on fibbing, though I must admit, it’s tough. The man just might not have known. They might not have told him.
The Power of the Interview
There is no doubt in my mind that the media will be just as biased as ever. However, there will be 2 differences. First, no more will they totally control what is tweeted or said on stuff like Facebook. That means Republicans will be able post their ideas just as much as the Dems. Now we’ll see how competitive the Dems ideas really are.
Secondly, whenever they want to interview the president, VP, Speaker or Majority Leader of the Senate as well as any committee chairman, they will have to interview a Republican with republican ideas.
They will still be able to conversate with Dem members of Congress but none of the real leaders. That just might irritate those host on shows such as Meet the Press. It makes me wonder, will they stop interviewing people holding federal office. They might talk to governors as the ones in CA or NY.
There is one little problem with that, of course. The folks in NY and CA just might vote for a Republican governor. Then who do they interview?
Don’t laugh. It could happen. Especially if CA keeps having four fires at a time and people keep getting murdered on subways.
Thank the Lord for Discipline
It is a difficult thing for a child to be thankful when his hand is being slapped but he should be. That slap on the hand is far less harmful and painful than that jolt of electricity from that wall socket.
Okay. I agree. The socket should be covered. Still, a little slap on the wrist is in order when a child starts trying to put his fingers in the socket, covered or not.
To be sure, I believe there is a big difference between discipline and punishment. The object behind punishment is justice; whereas, the object behind discipline is, or at least should be love. We as parents, from time to time, cause a little harmless pain to avoid the larger pain, or perhaps harm. As parents, we need to remember that, regardless of any anger.
When God disciplines us, it is in love and we should remember that. We should always learn from it as well as be reassured. After all, in general, people normally don’t discipline the strange child in love. When God disciplines us, it is a strong indicator that He is our Father and we are His child. It tells us we are saved and we are forever his. No one can ever take us from Him, ever.
Believe me, I have felt the hand of His discipline all too often. I didn’t like it. I am sure, I have asked why me? But He was always right and I was always wrong. And I learned and I continue to learn today, to my dismay.
How-some-ever, let me say this now before the whole world, I am so very grateful to my God that he disciplines me. It is because He loves me and that is very reassuring.
God disciplines nations too. Then, you know that. Repeatedly, he disciplined Judah when they strayed. Then, they repented and God rewarded them. The last time, God disciplined them several times and Judah turned their back on God. They called the chastising a coincidence and continued in their disobedience.
So, God increased the levels. He told them in advance and raised up the nation of Babylon. As predicted, they went into captivity and to this day, they have not returned to their former greatness.
As with Israel, I believe that the US has found favour with God. How else could we get where we are. However, if we keep turning our back to God, I have to believe that the Same thing will happen to us as Judah. If we keep writing off the warnings as coincidence, or weather change! He can raise up a nation and destroy us, as he destroyed Judah. What does makes me wonder, why has He already done it. By the way, He need not raise up another nation. He can use natural disasters, or a few terrorists with a big bomb.
As I write this, I remain in hope while I can’t help but fear. I know what it is like to feel His discipline. I do have something of an idea of what can happen, faster than anyone can imagine.
If you doubt any of this read the books of kings and chronicles in the Bible. The books, true, are religious. However, they are also very accurate history books.
Regardless; with all the blessings we have received as a nation from God, why in the world would anyone want to turn our backs on Him now? Better to receive His blessings than His discipline; or worse, His judgement.
