Money, Money, Money

Off and on, I’ve been following hearings on antisemitic speach and activities on our colleges. I have found the college leadership horrid in this respect; or maybe I should say it is without respect.

Then, or should I say now we see, there is an altogether different nature of respect, although it is one of the oldest. It seems once people and governments begin the threat of withholding fortunes, attitudes change. Indeed, resignations are submitted. Apologies, begrudgingly come forth.

Why should I bring this to mind? For what purpose do I write these few words. To be sure, what prompts me to raise this to the world’s attention?

As usual, it seems as if, if you really want the colleges and universities to behave themselves, it’s a simple matter of talking money, or should I suggest you withhold your dollars. You and I both know even the threat of loss of dollars speaks volumes.

Well, they have no fear of me withholding my fortune. I have none. Still, I do what little I can. Hopefully others will too. Antisemitic activities should not be tolerated in any of our colleges, certainly not those receiving our tax dollars.

Finally, antisemitism ought not be tolerated in this country. If we can tolerate those whose nationality has done what they can do, to the point of building destruction and murder of lives, then we ought to tolerate a race that has been nothing but peaceful and beneficial to our nation and our economy.

Don’t you think?

The Theory of Evolution

Posted in Christian values by

The most important fact to remember about the theory of evolution is that it is, sientifically, a theory. After about a hundred years of seeking evidence by thousands of people, both scientists and and die hard believers in evolution, we have virtually no more proof of it today than we did when it was first conceived.

The important thing to remember, a theory without proof is still a theory. My best guess, no one will ever come up with so much as a drop of any substantial proof. And, of course, a theory without substantial proof, is really nothing more than speculation. Indeed, my best guess is that it is faith in a big lie, one born from the lips of Satan. Those who believe in evolution, believe that lie rather than the truth spoken by God.

One of the Most Asked Questions

Posted in Christian values by

I suppose it has at some time been asked by millions, perhaps billions. If God has all this power, why does he permit satan to continue live on planet earth.

First, let me say, I don’t know. I have considered the question considerably, though likely from a little different view. Most ask why doesn’t God just kill Satan? I have asked what is it that stops Him from destroying the devil?

What’s the difference? Well, we all know God can destroy Satan. That’s a given. It really breaks into 2 questions, doesn’t it? First, He can utterly destroy the devil. On the other hand God can confine him and make him pay forever for all he has done. Obviously, God has decided on the second. This is not conjecture. The, Bible makes this clear in the book of Revelation. The fact is, Satan knows his destiny, all the while fighting to stop it.

So. Just what stops God from doing it right here and now? The Bible cautions us from speculation. Certainly I have no inside track. No one has spoken to me from mountain tops. However, I do have the ability to reason, as we all do.

Therefore, let’s look at some things that are Biblical and do some some sound reasoning. First, the Bible calls Satan the Prince of the Air. What does that mean? Well, as any prince, he has power and he has authority. Remember, for sure, power and authority are two different things.

Before man’s fall, Satan had power. However, he had no authority on this earth. In Genesis, we are told that Adam had the authority, as given to him by God.

Suddenly, once Adam ate the fruit, Satan had the authority. Something happened. There was a transfer of authority. Perhaps it is as a transfer of a deed. I don’t know. Maybe I am oversteping it. It is partially conjecture.

However, one thing is indisputable. Satan has authority that he did not have before. He is the prince and God, being of perfect righteousness, recognized this authority. If He simply took the kingdom back, that wouldn’t be right.

It shows a difference between our thinking and God’s thinking. We, in a similar situation, would simply destroy Satan. Instead God’s plan is different. He bought back the authority, that is He purchased the authority with a price.

That price was His only son, a sacrifice slain from before time.

Then, at a time of God’s choosing, He will use his power and He will do it with full authority. He will not destroy Satan, his demons or any of those who have rejected Him. Instead, they will suffer an eternal punishment for all the wrong they have done and for every evil thought they had.

Regardless, if I be completely right or not, just maybe if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, it is now the time to change that.

To Jesus, the Son of the living God, all authority has been given. Hence, he has the the power and authority to save everyone. However, Jesus is righteous. He will not force you to accept Him. You have the choice. You have the right to reject his gift of salvation. It is the power of Satan to give you false reasons to deny Him. No one will force salvation on anyone.

A Word to the Wise

Stay clear of large bodies of water, especially saltwater. It does something to the brain. I don’t know how, but it has become obvious.

Let’s face it, as you get further from large bodies of water, the percentage of folks with real common sense increases significantly. For real, you don’t find many in Montana who get confused over gender. Most folks in Tennessee know that money doesn’t just fall from the sky.

Well. Let me quality that. Those next to the Mississippi or Tennessee river do seem to have problems getting their brains in gear. They seem to like to let it simply coast along. It is as if thinking causes them pain.

If we could somehow keep people within 20 miles close to large bodies of water, the nation’s problems would simply disappear.

However, not only do they seem to have the national reins, they are trying, successfully, I might add, to keep those who can think, those who will think, out of the voting booths.

Is there anyone who can prove me wrong?

In light of the above, I have an excellent idea. Let’s move the capital to a large dry desert. We just might be amazed at how quickly we’ll be able to deal with problems such as the national debt.

Santa Clause Is Coming to Town

It’s true. Christmas is right around the corner and the gifts will be distributed. It’s real.

However, where the song has it wrong is just who Santa Clause is. Let’s get real. The bulk of the gifts will be coming from the dems, namely Old Joe and his cohorts.

They will distribute among those too lazy to work. Some will be distributed to outfits on the dole, as Planned Parenthood. They will be distributing to government departments, such as the Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Arts, and such as the EPA.

Of course, let us not forget the money going to transportation, feeding and sheltering of the aliens. (That’s right, they really do exists and someone needs to provide for them.) Certainly, we don’t want to forget the gifts they provided to oil producing countries by cutting our production. This would include but not limited to, Russia, Iran and many wealthy Arab countries.

Yup. No bout a doubt it. Old Joe will take out his Santa suit, brush it off, put smile on, along with the suit. He will jump in his magic sleigh and make his trip world wide.

Soon, he will visit a place near you. But beware. Not only will he give the gifts, but he will also be seeking what he can. You just might want to hide that wallet of yours.

You see, the only way he can give out all the freebies is to take the money from others. Well, they can also just print it. They have proved they are willing to do that too.

The 64 Dollar Question

Posted in Abuse of Power, Advertising, Biden, Cease fire between Israel and Gaza, Christian values, Fear, FOC, Israelites by

Over and over they ask Israel why won’t they do more to protect civilians?

For me, their inquiry is of the wrong leaders. Why don’t they ask the Humas to do more to protect the civilians. Maybe, perhaps, possibly, we could settle for doing less to put the lives of civilians in jeapardy. Has it ever occurred to the Israeli accusers to ask the cowardly Humas soldiers to stop hiding behind babies and old women.

Of course they’d not even consider it. They’d not like the results. It would put the truly violent people in the proper light. After all, one of the jobs of the media is to aid their friends, horrid as their actions are.

They’ve Built Their Own House

Posted in Cable TV, CEO Princeple, Christian values, Coronavirus, Religion by

Those who have eyes have likely noticed that the movie industry is hurting. Box office sales have been plummeting. That is a way of saying that they are losing money.

As I have said many times before, I am not the expert, but some things are casual to the most obvious observer. It is interesting to note that theaters continued to draw crowds during the worst of the depression, which seems to reduce the concept that it is economic.

Certainly TV has had a lot to do with it. At first, it could be totally ignored. The screens of televisions were small and strictly black and white. Also, only the theaters had the latest and best shows. Finally, the movie theater had a certain thing, a magic to them.

For this reason, people were willing to pay the 10 or 15 cents of the day. However, as time passed, the TVs grew larger, and then came color. Even so, the movie industry grew. However, they were looking for newer, different plots. They started pushing the envelope as to what they would show and say. Innuendos became less implied and more, outright plain.

Eventually, of course they reached the point where they said anything and showed everything. It was the advantage they still had over TV, which was still regulated by the FCC.

Then came cable and suddenly, anything that was on the big screen could be seen on the small screen. Now, if not before, for sure now, the movie industry had some real competition.

Still, in spite of it all, they were managing, though I suspect even then, it had begun its failure. While there was a day, a family could afford the occasional night at the theater, not so much anymore. The 50 cent tickets of my youth had risen to ten and fifteen dollars. When you’re taking a family of 6, many times the decision is made to wait a few months for the movie to go to cable or even broadcast TV.

This all brings me to the final two blows that just almost hit at the same time. First there is the loss of substance. I think I have counted 3 versions of the OK Corral; maybe 4 or 5 of the the Alamo. How many times has the Titanic been sunk. I know the Poseiden has gone down at least twice.

The other problem originated in a lab in China and litterally destroyed people, businesses and who knows knows what all. It very well might have sounded the death knell to the, so called, siver screen.

So it is that after nearly a century of shining the big spot lights on themselves, the industry, as it is, will likely go under.

Is it salvageable? I don’t know. I used to frequent the theater. I went to see Sound of Music 4 times at the Fox Wilshire. It was reported that there was one woman who saw the movie once a day for the 4 years of the exclusive run at the Fox Wilshire. She had the entire script commited to memory.

Nonetheless, the movie had tremendous success. People were willing to pay the price to see it, sometimes multiple times because it was a good movie, which was done very well. And, by the way, it had no profanity or nudity. Was it the best movie of all time. I don’t know. However, it certainly was one of the most successful.

It is solid proof that profanity and nudity is not nearly as successful as good quality and material.

It has been years now since I’ve gone to the theater. I have been waiting for a good movie. It would seem that Hollywood has been so busy taking bows after the horrid recently made stuff, that they seem to have forgotten that attractive leading acters is but one small part of a success.

The one thing I do find interesting is that for just about a century, they have made huge advances in equipment and special effects while the plots and dialog have been taking a nosedive.

Bottom line. People will not return to the theater until the theaters start providing something worth paying for. Recently, I have not seen anything worth the 5 dollars of yesteryear, let alone the current prices.

Arrival of a King

Posted in Christian values, Great News, Important things, Religion, Respect, Salvation by

It is a common thing to have a celebratory greeting of a visiting head of state. If the leader from a friendly major country visits, we would, so to speak, roll out the red carpet. Generally, we would have a big band and, many from the press would be there. Certainly, there would be many dignitaries, maybe the president, himself.

As the visiting dignitary left the plane, people would greet him and shake his hand. There might be a military representation who would provide a ceremonial salute.

It happens frequently. On the other hand, when a president visits other countries, it is not without much pomp and circumstance. We have grown to expect it.

Yet, a little over 2000 years ago, a king arrived and hardly anyone noticed it. There were but an uncertain number of shepherds who left their sheep to greet the greatest king ever. They, and they alone spent a short time to visit Him and and His parents.

As a side note, the wisemen did not arrive with their gifts for likely a year or more later. The only dignitaries who met the king on arrival were a few unnamed shepherds.

However, we today, and will into the foreseeable future, celebrate His arrival worldwide, moreso than ever any head-of-state. Indeed, some even celebrate His arrival while denying Him. Nations celebrate His arrival who worship idols.

That…that is recognition that no one has or ever will receive. People sing of Him him and know Him not. They exchange gifts in His name while knowing not why.

One day, likely soon, Jesus will return. This time, it will not be just a small group of shepherds who will see Him. Indeed, He will be seen by all and recognized by all. I have no authority to say as much, but I suspect that that will include the blind.

I say this as an encouragement. If you don’t know the one we celebrate at Christmas, I suggest you take the time to genuinely find out who He is. It is a poor idea to ignore one who is so great.

The Hated Truth; The Fear of the Light

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values, Collusion, Communism, Crime, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Going Green, January 6, law enforcement, Liz Cheney, Our Legal Systems, Plutocrat, Religion, Social Media, Truth by

Jesus walked this world a little over 2 thousand years ago. That… is indisputable. He and what He did is Biblical and historical. That He performed miracles was well known. It was one of the reasons the leaders of Israel sought to take His life.

To be sure, Jesus gave his life. They didn’t take it. It was foretold in the scriptures, Isaiah, psalms and Daniel to mention a few. Yet the leaders still did their part to fulfill their part of those prophecies.

And why was it that they killed a man who’s only crime was to do good, heal people and teach the truth. It does seem to be the nature of folks, especially those in power. You see, the leadership looked on Jesus as competition. They were desperately afraid, first that He would replace them in their powerful places of leadership. Second that He would put light on motives and the people would see them for what they were. For most of them, it would have been very embarrassing.

It is not the first time nor will it be the last. People, bad people seek power and they will do whatever it takes to get it. And, such people hate people who tell the truth that others might see their motives and their purpose. Such people fear the light, which will possibly expose their sin, their theft greed and their deeds.

Certainly, President Trump was far from being an angel. He used horrible language. He did things I am sure I would never want to admit to my parents, or anyone for that matter.

However, his primary sin he committed was that he confronted the very worst in government. He spoke the truth and exposed the the wrongdoers on both sides of the isle. He shined the light on the sins of the rich and powerful.

Trump was not nearly anything like Jesus, but when it comes to truth and light, he was accomplishing about the same thing, though in a more crude means.

For his efforts, no one received more torture in perhaps 2000 years. Okay. I admit. I am exaggerating. However you get the idea.

The fact is that he has had falsehood after falsehood leveled against him. Once he disproves one thing, they charge him with two more. And like Jesus, they are going after Trump’s followers.

I guess they figure they don’t want any of his friends spreading the truth either. It would stand to reason they don’t like the idea of any light exposure from any one or anything. It would mean the loss of prestige, money and…of course, power. For sure, how can they maintain control without the power.

and, to the dems, control is everything.

Hope & Change

Posted in Abuse of Power, Christian values, Deceit, Education, Going Green, law enforcement, Memories, Obama, Plutocrat by

It was Obama’s saying, which likely propelled him into the White House. One might ask, well, what’s wrong with a little hope. What is so wrong with a little change.

Indeed, the thought sounds like such a good idea. But lets take a closer look. First, let’s look at the obvious flaw, that is the change. Certainly, it was more than a little change. It was massive, certainly to me. Obama care cost me 30,000 dollars. By the way, I could not afford it. The wife and I are living almost totally on Social Security. His change just almost wiped out my 401k. It also forced my wife into drawing Social Security early. If she hadn’t, it would have wiped out the remainder of my 401k.

I suspect there are many others who can site many other things. And, incidentally, other than medical office visits, we had not one claim on it. So, that 30 grand essentially all went into the circular file. Ask me if I like Obama’s change. Moreover, I am very suspicious that many others agree. I have also had a few talks with doctors who agree with me.

By the way, lest you forget, the only way they got Obama care through was by bribe, legal bribe, yes, but it was still a bribe and it was wrong. Moreover, it is proof, positive that it would not have passed on its own merit.

Now, consider my chair, a big recliner. I really like it. However, when I purchased it, I had little hope in it. At the store, I tried it out and, well, I really liked. Still, it’s a chair. The only thing I expected from it was to support me in comfort as I watched TV. I did get a little extra. I am sitting in it while I compose this post on my little hand hand held computer. So far, it has held me, for about 4 or 5 years. So far, it has not collapsed or thrown me as a wild horse. I guess, one day it might but so far, I think it will hold for a while. I HOPE it will. On the other hand, I don’t think it will fetch the mail or fix my breakfast. I have no HOPE of that.

Clearly, I had no hope of Obama doing one good thing for anyone other than himself. Obviously, he gave me not one reason to change my mind.

Near as I can tell, he didn’t help anyone else, least of all, the African-Americans. Maybe they know something I don’t. Maybe he actually did try to educate them, but education was degraded during his presidency.

Well, did he help any ethnicity while in office. Near as I can tell, the Asians are doing some better. Blacks, Latino and Jews didn’t seem to benefit from anything he did. Christians definitely didn’t benefit from anything he did. Thousands of them died in Iraq when he decided to just up an leave. I really don’t think he cares. Never heard so much as one person ask him.

Looks to me, when he promised hope and change, the promise was empty. The only one he really wanted to help was himself. He wasn’t a millionaire when he first entered politics, but he is now. Just where do you suppose all his money came from? He spent less than one term as senator, two terms as president and, poof, instant multi-millionaire.

If you think he came by it honest, you are easily deceived. Deception seems to be Obama’s specialty.
