Decisions, Decisions

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Bribes, Cancel Culture, Christian values, Climate Change, Communist Takover, Controllers, FOC, Uncategorized by

I saw something on TV, or was it something I heard on the radio. At the time, I didn’t think a lot about it but the more I think about it the more I realize both the wisdom and importance. The man said that when his children reached 12, he insisted on explaining something to them.

Up to this point, decisions generally have little if any effect on later life. Kids make decisions every day that will quickly be forgotten. Once a person reaches 12, decisions start taking on a more permanent nature.

That was as far as he went. He said no more about it over the air. More and more, I realize the truth in what he said. I wish someone had told me about it, though I was somewhat getting the idea on my own. Even so, as a young man, I did things and said things I wish I hadn’t. I wish I had told my kids, though mostly they turned out good in spite of my shortcomings. There is one thing I would suggest different than the above though. Nowadays, parents need to have the talk with their kids when they are 10, and again at 14, and then at 18.

It is a different world we are in today. What we do and say can follow us even from the preteen years well into adulthood. This is true about what is done and what is perceived to have been done. This is even more true for those that may go into public life. However, it would seem that nowadays, applications for employment have become far more probing.

Just think, if you plan on being a Supreme Court justice someday, that little thing you did at eleven just might make it to the news and you could lose that appointment. If you want to become president, that little fling with that prostitute could cost you the election. To make matters worse, It can cost you the election even if the fling never took place.

The dems are not above making huge money offers to people to give false witness just to destroy their appointment. So a person, when he makes decisions much consider, not only what he does, but he must also be able to defend himself should someone suggest he did do something he didn’t.

It’s not just the dems that like the idea. Satan just loves it when a famous upstanding preacher is accused of something horrible, especially when he’s not guilty. Indeed, he is quick to originate the thought of such false witness. Moreover, he is especially happy should a good pastor stumble. For them, all it takes is once.

And so it is, as we go through life, we must be very careful. When we make decisions, we need not only need to think about whether it good or bad, but also if it might look bad. In essence, we must go through life realizing that at any time, we might be attacked by Satan, himself, of any one of his thousands of willing minions who call themselves democrats, or in some cases, the church gossips.

As a point of fact, after years of the attacks waged on trump, before, during and after he held office, no one proved he did one thing wrong. However, they did manage to disparage him, based on his former life style. I guarantee, none of this would have come about had Trump went along to get along with the dems. It is how the dems maintain control, the threat of attack can have a big affect. In fact, Trump likely would still be in office, no charges of any type would have been made if he only made the bad decisions.

One more thing about decisions. If you do make the right ones, be ready to face those ready to attack you. Be ready to face the accusations. They will most certainly follow. The dems don’t like it when someone gets in the way of their plans. That’s also true of Satan.

Old Joe Said He’d not Pardon his Son

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Biden, Bribes, Controllers by

I have a theory I have espoused a few times. I highly suspect that Hunter has said, “Pops, If I go to prison, then you do too.” Hunter might not have a brain that goes to the top floor but I’d guess he is wise enough that if anything happens to him, certain info will come out. I suspect it would spell the downfall, not of of Old Joe, but many of those in his friends and puppeteers as well.

I suspect the instant some one hints that Hunter will serve a day in jail, we will find out what it is that Hunter knows. I am sure Old Joe’s friends know that as well. Even if Old Joe doesn’t pardon his son, Joe’s friends will keep him from ever spending a day in the slammer. (and Old Joe does have his friends in high places)

For those who are unaware, it is called self-preservation and the dems practice it every minute of every day.

Not Quite so Fast, Hunter

Not quite so fast, Hunter. It’s not over yet. I suspect he wasn’t the only one who swallowed hard when they found out what happened. Indeed, there are meetings being held among the dems today, tonight and probably tomorrow. Looks like maybe they need a new strategy.

Remember now. As I said, Hunter likely has the pressure on Old Joe. My best guess is that he told dear old dad that if he was going to jail then so was he. Even so, I suspect Old Joe ain’t sweaten it. I mean, before he starts sweating it, someone is going to have to explain it so he understands it.

Still, those puppeteers are likely sweating a little. Someone just might figure out what they are doing and they know they just might get in trouble for it.

Actually, they have nothing to worry about. Dems can get away with anything. I used to think that was not true until I saw what all the Clintons got away with. I just shook my head and said, they broke the justice system and I don’t know as it will ever get fixed.

On the other hand, you just have to know that Kamala is salivating a little, maybe a lot.

Dumb Advertising

Posted in AARP, Abuse of Power, Bribes, Crazy Nuts, Deceit, Lawyers and Representation, Lobbyists, Obama Care, Socialists by

Yesterday, I received an advertisement from Humana. Now just why should I start out like that. What is so significant? Just why is it dumb advertising?

Well, let me start by explaining just what I did with the ad. Once I saw it was from Humana, it went straight into the trash. It did not pass go. It did not collect $200. It went directly into the trash. In other words, what Humana paid on the ad and the mailing was a total waste. It did them no good. I suppose it did help Uncle Sam’s Postal Department a little, but it was a useless thing for Humana. In a sense, it was an insult.

On a day, not too many years ago, another dumb man did something really dumb. He came up with a medical system called The Affordable Care Act. There was nothing affordable about it. I could have almost paid for my new car with what I paid for it, over 30 thousand dollars. It took a big bite out of my IRA.

My wife was not yet 65 so I was obligated to pay for insurance for her, about a thousand a month, nearly twelve thousand a year for five years. I don’t need the dems doing me any more favors like that for me.

However, getting to the point. For one of those years, my payment went to Humana. That was pure profit for Humana. My wife never went to the doctor for the entire year. You would think Humana would have liked to keep us on for a few more years like that. They didn’t. At the end of the year, they dropped us and we had to go to another company, a more expensive one.

Now, it would seem, for some reason they want us back as customers. Now just what do you think the chances of that are, especially since she is now on Medicare.

If there is one thing dumber than Humana sending ads to us, it would be us thinking of doing business with Humana. Nope! Not going to happen. I’m not that dumb. They got their 12 grand from me. They’ll just have to settle for that. We don’t want their help. We don’t need their help. Just one thing worse than their help, Obama’s help.

One more little note, Obama Care would not have passed without the support of AARP. Don’t have any use for that liberal outfit either. Never will. The best thing they can do is to disappear. The only thing they are good at is taking bribes.

Helping the Devil

Posted in Bribes, Christian values, law enforcement, Lobbyists, Petty theft, Politally Correct, Religion, Truth by

I had the idea on this post, I guess about three days ago.  However, I am just now getting around to writing it.  Why?  I just don’t know how.  I wish I did.  I have prayed about it.  I prayed for help or even if I should write it.  I suspect that it will do little good.  Many will argue the existence of the devil in the first place.  Some will argue that they aren’t helping the devil when they are, while deep down in their heart they know better.

Let’s look at how the devil works.  It’s not new.  The Bible speaks of how he works, lies, deception, pride, the offering of short term gains.  By the way, those who help the devil use the same methods.  However, they also add bribes, terror, and, well, let’s just call it group think.  You fall outside the in crowd and your name is mud.  Your business goes bust.  Your cake decorating shop gets sued because you refuse to accept what the government calls marriage.  (God had the first say and He will have the last say on that subject.)

So.  Let’s give it just a little thought.  That time you told a lie about that politician.  You helped the devil.  That time you bribed that government official, you helped Satan in his deception.  That time you helped that dishonest person running for office, you helped evil to prosper.  When you go down and buy that lottery ticket, you helped Satan.

I guarantee every time a person goes into a gambling casino, the devil smiles.  Win or lose, the devil wins and society loses.

Of course, voting does not always occur at the polls.  When you encourage the defunding of the police, Satan is jumping for joy.  Every time a person goes through a store and takes all he can carry, guess what?  Satan wins, that is for the short term, and you are helping him.

It’s more than just repeating the lies of the devil.  It is also accepting them.  You say, “Of course Biden won the election.  Everyone knows it.”  Only you know it’s a deception from the dems and originated by the evil one himself, Satan.

I ask you.  Do you really believe that Old Joe is a better man for president than President Trump?  I mean, do you really down deep in your heart believe that lie, or do you just want to believe it?  On the other hand, there are those who don’t care.  All they want is the power, which is also, what Satan wants.

Ergo, you chose to believe the lie and as such, you are aiding and abetting the devil.  It’s not a matter of if you want to.  It is not a matter if you believe it.  It’s the simple fact that you are.

In the process, you helped to put hundreds, maybe thousands of innocent people in prison for January 6.  And you are helping those trying to put the one president that has done the most for this nation in over fifty years in prison.  Even more, he has done great things for God’s church, allowing them freedom of religion.  I don’t think Satan liked it when he fought for Christians to be exempt from paying for abortions.  I don’t think Satan liked those justices he put on the Supreme Court either.  Actually, the dems didn’t like any of that much either.

Actually, if you go down through the things that Satan is trying to do and what the dems are trying to do, there are many similarities.  Regardless of the motives, I am certain that Satan is very grateful for the help.

The lies, the bribes, and the threats, they all go toward his goals.  One day, Satan will answer.  I know.  I have read the last of the book.  Guess what.  He will not be alone.  His demons will be right there with him in that fire.  Also, those that have helped him will spend eternity paying for their lies and deceit.  Hell was not made for man but for the devil.  God does not want to send one man or woman there.  They will go of their own choice by rejecting the salvation provided by Jesus Christ.

Believable? Really?

Rarely does a situation come up where you just know the federal government is lying. One such situation was the report on the Kennedy assassination. I don’t have any idea how many believe that one, but it can’t be many. Too many holes in it. Actually, too many obvious holes in it. Too much secrecy. To many efforts to cover things up.

However, I’d like to call a new one to your attention today, the so-called suicide of the former monster we knew as Jeffrey Epstein. Oddly they are trying to say he committed suicide.

Actually, in a roundabout way, I do believe them. I don’t know about you, but I have seen more than one movie where the disgraced man is handed a gun. Then, of course, he is expected to us it…on himself.

I guess such things happened. I don’t know for sure. Likely there were a few German generals that were treated like that. The implication of course, “Avoid the disgrace. Kill yourself and permit your family to live on without the dishonor.”

You might ask, would I suggest that a monster like Epstein commit suicide? Probably not. I really don’t think the man had honor. On the other hand, he did have friends and relatives. Just how important to they were to him, I don’t know. In killing himself, he just might have proved he did care about them.

I mean, it would have been very easy for one of the guards to deliver him a message. Then of course, they would all leave him alone long enough for the threat to work.

With all the famous rich people who have so much at stake, it is easy for me to believe that the threat was made. It is far easier to believe that than the far out story some government officials thought up.

The thing is, it matters not. Just as with Kennedy, they don’t really expect us to believe it. With all that is at stake, no one will ever disprove it. Those that have the courage lack the means. Those who have the means, lack the courage. We don’t really have to swallow the story, just pretend we do.

And so it is, one of the most unbelievable stories in history will stand for the duration. All those involved with the monster, those that took the trip out to his little island can rest easy. No one will ever disclose their secrets. (May I remind a few of you? Pres. Clinton was one of those who took his plane out to the island a time or three. I guess he managed to slip through another one, though it cost the life of his fiend of a friend.)

Differing Points of View

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Biden, Bribes, Christian values, Communism, Controllers, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Going Green, January 6, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Pelosi, Planned Parenthood, Politcal Opinion, Socialists, Uncategorized, Unions by

Down through the history of the Republican and the Democrat parties, there have always been differing points of view. However, they both had the good of the country in mind. I don’t like the way President Kennedy did things. I really don’t like the way he managed his personal life, but he fought the communists’ countries fiercely and he always had the good of the nation in mind.

Today things are different. Not only do the parties have differing points of view, but the dems do not have well being of the country in mind. They hate the Constitution and are using its precepts to destroy it. Indeed, it is their desire to destroy the country and meld it into a single world government.

Worse yet, they are willing to ignore any law to accomplish it. They have no problem destroying the home of the brave so that they can install their nation of puppets. And yes, they stand accusing others of lying, while all the time telling their own whoppers. If they are caught in their lies and deceptions, then it’s back to their old ways, deny, deny, deny.

They continually demand compromises from the Republicans. Does anyone remember a dem was willing to give an inch. Invariably, in the end, there is no compromise with them. In the end, they win, and we lose. For if we keep compromising, we relinquish everything including our precious freedom.

Then, there will not be any more differing points of view. They will not be permitted. They won’t be allowed, even in thought. If you say something out of line, it won’t be the government after you. It will be your neighbors. It will be those who live across the street or across town. In the end, it will even be your friends in church, until, of course, there are no more churches.

Which is Worst?

Which one is worst? Is it the one who offers the bribe in hopes of getting his way, regardless of what is right?

Is it the one who receives the bribe, knowing that he is going to treat a person or person wrong as a result?

Maybe the worst of all is the one who stands by and observes the bribe and says nothing. Maybe he says nothing out of fear. Perhaps he keeps quiet and benefits from the bribe. I don’t know. There might be dozens of reasons for blinding himself to that which he knows to be wrong.

When I was a young man, still in high school, I was taught about the third world countries where bribery was a way of life. The officer, expected and received the little payment to turn his head. The government official knew he would receive the bribe to allow the immigrant into the country. The teacher explained that, of course those things did not go in this country.

Now, 50 or 60 years later…

As I surveyed the recent history, I came to the conclusion that it is what happens in countries that turn their backs on God. You might ask if I consider it a judgement. To be sure, it would be a righteous judgement. But it is entirely unnecessary. It is simply a natural result. When people turn their backs on God, they do things that result in calamity.

They might call it lobbying, or donations for campaigning. It all has the same result. In but a short while, unless we allow God back in our lives, back in our schools and back in our government, the US will be a used to be. We will join the ranks of third world countries. People will be going south over the Mexican border, not north. No one will want to live in a land that is ruled by the few, the rich, the powerful.

And, invariably, the few, the rich and the powerful will not let go of their hold on this nation.

So. What is your thought? Are you one who bribes? Are you one who accepts the bribes. Or are you one who simply looks away when you see a bribe. Hopefully, you are none of those. Yet, millions of people stood by and watched Biden offer a billion-dollar bribe and still voted for him. Millions stood by and watched what the dems did to our voting system. And still they voted for them.

It looks like they approved of the bribes to me. So don’t be surprised when they count the US as a third world country. Don’t be surprised when money by the wheelbarrow will not buy a loaf of bread.

Don’t be surprised when God turns his back on us as this nation has turned its back on Him.

In the past, the US was an example of a Godly nation. Nowadays. Not so much.

Examples

I wish I were a better writer, especially when it comes to what I am writing. Maybe, I will get a little help from the Lord. The problem is that it is such a broad topic, and it is so easy to go chasing rabbits down trails instead of staying on topic. And to be sure, I am one who easily goes chasing rabbits.

I borrow the following partial definition from Miriam Webster of the word example. “1 : one that serves as a pattern to be imitated or not to be imitated a good example 2 : a punishment inflicted on someone.” I literally copied and pasted this into to my post. I hope they won’t mind.

We use the term so regularly that we sometimes overlook the meaning behind the word. Or maybe I should say the thought behind it. After all, words do represent thoughts. May I reword the above?

We point to good or bad examples to tell us what might be good or bad. That is to say, when our parents told us not to play in the street, they just might be able to point out what happen to the boy that was hurt. Sometimes, our parents point out what happened to an older sibling. In some cases, the sibling did something bad and that the example is not to be followed. In some cases, maybe the sibling did something good and went on to achieve wealth and fame. In some cases, it is impossible to live up to the example but at least we should strive to the goal.

We live in a world of examples: NY, NY; LA, CA; Chicago; SF, CA. They are all cities where the crime and murder rate is high. I certainly would not want to walk down the streets of NY, NY alone in the middle of the night. San Francisco is no longer the model city it was in yesteryear. The Windy city has some of the most stringent gun laws in the country and yet, hardly a day goes by where people there are shooting people. Sometimes, a person dies of an errant bullet simply because they happen to be standing where the bullet happens to be going.

I ask the question: Do we really want to follow the example of these cities? Is there a program that they are using, a plan that they are following that should serve as an example for the rest of the nation? I suggest the opposite is true. They have laws, regulations, and programs that should be held up to the world that should not be followed. They are horrid laws, and the cities are being led by incompetent people. They are not spending money in the right places, and they are giving monies to the wrong people. Their governments are corrupt, and they do not make decisions based on the good of the city or its citizens.

Yet, year after year, the same type people are elected to office. One might hang a sign outside their city halls, “Intelligent people need not apply.” Those who are honest have long given up the concept of trying to straiten out the mess the dems have created.

One can set off from afar and ask, “Why do they do that to themselves?” I mean, the people do get to vote in their choice and then they choose as they choose. Why is that? I don’t know. I have tried to figure it out but my feeble mind simply is not up to the task.

We can look at the states as well. We look at Florida, a really pretty good example of how to have a successful state. Then we look at NY and hopefully realize it is an example of how not to run a state. Or, perhaps we can use the state as an example of how to destroy a state. Yet we must assume it is what the people of NY want. It is what they voted into office.

Personally, I don’t understand it. New York used to be the most populus state. Next census, it might be fourth or fifth. CA is pretty much in a nosedive too despite their ideal weather. Is it their purpose to decrease the cost of living so all the elite will be able to get a good deal when they move in?

However…, being a poor example is not new. God had it all planned out. He would build a big powerful nation that would love Him, His law and follow His leadership. The idea was that the rest of the world would look at the Children of Israel and see how God built the nation up because they did as God commanded.

Well, at least in the short term, the plan failed. Don’t get the wrong idea. God knew the plan would fail from the start. Yet He decided to give Israel a chance and a short time later, the world looked on Israel and saw the example God wanted. Kings came from far and wide to see Soloman and the kingdom that God built.

And then it started falling apart. It’s not that I’m smart. A sixth grader can follow the pattern. Israel broke off from Juda and never did really follow the God. God issued warning after warning until he finally sent a king from the north in to take over. Israel became an example of what happens to a nation when they do not follow God.

Juda on the other hand, lasted a little longer. They followed a pattern. First, they would fall into sin and rebellion, and then they would repent, and God built them up again. I don’t remember exactly how many times that happened, but the last time was different. They fell into sin, and regardless of multiple warnings, they refused to repent. God raised up the nation of Babylon and they took over Juda.

Israel, that is to say, the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Juda, became an example of what not to do. For seventy years, Israel lived under captivity. Even then, they were never restored to their former glory. They lived under the control of Greece and Rome. The Jews had their kings, but they never were autonomous again. Now, today, when people talk about the Jews, there is no respect. They are disparaged and belittled. They are an example of what happens when people don’t do as God tells them. They had a free choice. God did not force them to follow Him. They made their choice and now we all see the example of what happens when man refuses to follow God.

Now. One day, likely soon. The world will once again see what happens when a nation will not follow God. People will look at the history of our once great nation and point and say, “They were once a great nation. The US was once undefeatable. But then they turned away from God.”

Then we will be the example, and not for good.

I suspect I did not do the subject justice. As I said, I am not that great with words. Yet, there are those who have read this are good word smiths. Feel free to use my words and thoughts to further my feeble efforts.

Sports and Gambling

Posted in Bribes, Crime, Gambling, Lawyers and Representation by

It is one of many reasons I dislike gambling. It throws a giant shadow wherever it is and wherever it threatens to be. History is full of gamblers affecting the outcome of sports. No sport seems immune. No level seems immune. Certainly, it has made its way into horse racing, boxing, football, basketball and I am sure there are several I have no idea of. They shave points on college games and, for crying out loud, high schools.

It has ruined lives and it has undermined the public trust. Just ask folks if they believe if boxing is legit, rather it is or not. Even if there is a valid problem in a horse race, there will always be those that will be suspicious.

What about the poor horses that are drugged to change the outcome of a race. That makes it inhumane as well as illegal and wrong.

Then too, what about the rooster fights. Okay. I know that it is illegal in the US but people still do it, primarily because of the gambling.  And, by the way, it is still legal in most countries.

Poor Pete Rose will likely never see his name in the Hall of Fame. This is only right. He’s given baseball a big black eye and the bruise will remain long after he is gone. It does bring up the question of who else in the pros has some kind of gambling problems. Just because we know of none, doesn’t mean there are none. Just before Rose was discovered, most thought there was no problem in Baseball.

For years and years, only Vegas permited gambling on sports. Now, almost suddenly, it is encouraged throughout the country. If you want most of the country angry, suggest it be made illegal. In times past, the media,  the reporters discouraged all sorts of gambling. Not any more. They are the head cheerleaders. You just don’t ever see gambling portrayed in a negative light any more. (Wonder if there is any money, bribes changing hands)

The disease has its countless tentacles reaching into every nook and cranny at every level of virtually all governments in the country. I know this because none of them, no not one will consider making gaming illegal. Their tax revenues are too great. They know if they do, there will have visits from a number of people who don’t want the gaming removed. No doubt, there will be threats.

The farmer produces food. The manufacturer produces things we need and use. Just what is it that gaming provides for us? Can we eat it? Does it provide shelter, comfort or transportation?  Does it provide entertainment? Some will say yes to that. I find that odd. I would feel better after giving my money away. The world would be better and I’d feel better.

Of course, what do I know? Maybe you’d rather your “spare” change end up in the hands of folks who feel no guilt making their fortunes off the misfortune of others. As for me, I’d rather give the money to folks who have had misfortune.

Even more, let’s keep them and their kind out of sports, especially colleges and high schools. It’s certainly one place we don’t need them and their lucre

If nothing else, let’s keep them out of our school sports. I have given up all hope of keeping the poor horses out of their grip. I can’t stop people going into casinos and, in minutes, maybe seconds, lose a whole week’s wages.

Then of course, the casino management waves goodbye and says, “Thank you very much. Wasn’t that fun? We’ll see you next Friday.” No way am I, or any of us going to do something about that.

We do have one consultation. The guy that lost that paycheck, the guy whose wife just might divorce him… that fellow sure was entertained, and wow did he have fun, but not so long.
