What do I Remember?

Posted in A Little About me, Christian values, Elections, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Memories by

What major historical events do you remember?

I am 73. All of them. Okay. A small exaggeration. Just most of them.

Seems to me, I already wrote a post remotely on this subject, titled, “Remember the Alamo.” My contemplation was that we don’t. Not really. Many of us saw the horrid things that happened on 9/11 and yet all too quickly, it all fades from our memories. I know this because we permit aliens to swamp our border personnel to the point where they serve little purpose.

If we really remembered 9/11, we would be sure to catch and check everyone trying to get into this country. Even at the state that the border is in, they are sure that there are those who have gotten into this country who would love a repeat of 9/11 and worse.

Yes, I do remember many shootings, in our schools, our malls and even military bases. And yet the dems let the criminals out on the streets without bond, soon after performing all manor of serious crimes, all in the name of equality, not equal, mind you, but equality.

I remember a time when kids mostly had two parents, the movie playing at the local theater had no rating and no one was shooting up the schools. You suppose we did something wrong. You suppose we should turn around and go back to whence we came? You suppose we should start allowing God in our schools. Just perhaps we should say our prayers before rather than after the disasters. Maybe we should be more careful as to what we permit Hollywood to put on the big screen.

Just maybe, it would be a good idea to tame the commercials a little. In my youth, those selling bras resorted to models wearing the bras on the outside of clothing so that they could show them on TV. Children have new words added to their vocabulary these days, such as ED, and new ways of using words, such as performance enhancing.

Of course we can change channels simply turn off the TV before such commercials. It just is do you suppose they can issue warnings a minute or so before airing a commercial with adult content, as they do with programs? Then again, maybe TVs could be made where the parents could disable commercials with adult content.

It is a different world today, with many improvements. Then again, maybe we should not have made some of those changes. Maybe the world would be better. Maybe it would be safer if the kids all had two parents, one male, one female. Just maybe God knew what he was doing when he made it that way.

That for Which I am Thankful

Daily writing prompt
What are you most proud of in your life?
View all responses

I am thankful for a family that provided for me and guidance in my early life. I am thankful for the Marines, which taught me many things that I have needed throughout my life. I am very grateful to be an American, where, at least for now, I have more rights and protection than any nation that ever existed.

Proud is a word I use very reluctantly. First, I have very little to be proud of. Secondly, it sorta gets in the way when I want to make a real self evaluation.

By the way, I do have a very extensive list of things I am truly thankful for. Certainly right at the top, is my salvation, which Jesus provided me, before I asked for it and totally without my help. I assure you, pride only delayed it, as at one time I believed I could do it on my own.

The Deceit is in How You Ask the Question

Posted in Biden, Border wall, Bribes, Christian values, Controllers, Gathering false infomortion, Immigration, Politcal Opinion, Reporters, Respect by

This evening I happened to land on Scriptts News Channel where they were declaring some things true and some things false. They presented the question and in an objective way they declared whether the the answer was true or false.

One question I found particularly interesting was, and I must quote this loosely as I did not have paper and pen at the time, Is the 3.2% COLA adjustment historically low this year?

I suspect the question should have been and likely was, was the COLA adjustment really reflective of the cost of living. Most of us could care less about past COLA adjustments. What we are concerned with is does the 3.2% really reflect the increase in the cost of living?

Naturally those representing Scriptts said that the COLA is relatively high compared with the last +- 14 years, which is true. However, they completely sidestepped the answer to the the real question.

And, by the way, I can answer that question. It was low this year and it was low last year. Both years combined is about ten percent, a little more. However, I cannot buy as many groceries with $200 that I use to pay $100 for. I take my car in for a repair that used to cost $600 and it cost $1100 or $1200. I had a battery replaced on my car and it cost $250. It was not that long ago they cost $30. Going out to eat costs more too, but, percentage wise, not as much as the groceries. And, oh yes. Let us not forget gas. If I weren’t retired, I don’t know if I could afford to get back and forth to work. (or I’d have to bicycle)

Every place you turn, the prices have doubled or nearly in the last two yours. And the COLA has gone up but 10%. Just try to tell me that Old Joe has us poor folks at heart. That is a bad joke. A joke because it is not true. Bad because it affects those that can afford it the least.

I can put up with the decrease in my spending power. However, I cannot and will not tolerate them insulting my intelligence. It is but one more reason I call them dems and it is but one more reason I call him Old Joe. And, if this keeps up, I will use all lower case letters when writing of him. If a leader will not respect those he leads, then he does not deserve our respect either, no matter his position.

My afterthought. The inflation caused by the dems and Old Joe has not only driven up the cost of living in the US, but globally. The price spent on oil went up globally, not just here. Hence, it went up in the poorer countries where they hurt even more than in the US. The only ones he helped were Iran and Putin. Well, I am sure he helped his own finances and his family’s.

The Lessons of Gary Warren Hart

Posted in Biden, Christian values, Elections, President Trump by

Few remember who Gary Hart is. To jar my memory, I even had to look him up on the internet. However, I do remember the history. Moreover, I am sure the democrats remember the lesson of that day.

First a brief reminder for one and all just who Gary Warren Hart is and was. In 1988 he was the forerunner for the Democrat party for president. It really looked as if it was almost a done deal. The former senator had passed on seeking another term as Colorado senator so that he could make his run at president. He had the right background. He was a graduate of Yale law school and divinity school. He had a history in the senate that drew the proper attention of the right people

His campaign was doing oh so well. Then, suddenly, it took a nose dive. It was reported that he, a married man was having an affair with a woman, Donna Rice. Things were said. Things were done to try to save his run at presidency. Finally, he saw the handwriting on the wall. He withdrew. And so it was that Dukakis lost in a landslide to George Bush senior.

Now that we remember the basic history, let’s look at the lessons learned by the dems. First of all, never again did they face the problems of morality. Right up front, they admit they they have none. They don’t care what kind of moral background their candidate has, they will stand behind him no matter how many affairs he has. In fact, I suspect that they would permit a man to run as a woman or a woman to run as a man. To them and their candidates, nothing matters. Moreover, it doesn’t seem to matter to those that vote for them. They have gotten their constituency lined up in lock-step behind them.

The second lesson that they learned, and by far the more important one, make sure the republican affairs get exposed, even if there are none. They saw how fast the support for Hart faded. They stood back and looked and said, “You know what? That just might work for us.”

And so it is that in every election since, or judge appointment, they have done a complete and total examination to see what they can find in their past. And they always find something, even if there is none. They have plenty of money to invent something.

You want a woman to have an affair with Clarence Thomas? No problem. Within days they find one and they likely didn’t even have to pay her much. The woman did not like Thomas and she made that clear. Did they have any proof? Who needs proof? All they need is an accusation.

In some cases, the person just might be guilty. The instant that a person in good standings starts to speak up against anything the dems hold sacred, they search out the person back to kindergarten. And, as I said, they lay it on.

Nowadays, if a person plans on running for any Republican office, they need to start thinking about it in preschool. No telling where they will go, how much they will pay to find something the person did that was, oh so unforgivable.

They have actually accomplished 2 things with this approach. First, anyone that dares run for public office gets exposed for his or her past, even if they have no past. This, of course forces them to withdraw or run crippled.

The second thing it does is that it keeps people from running. They see the damage the dems have done to others and most folks just don’t want to have anything to do with it. Let’s face it, the dems really liked President Trump, until he was president. Then they got busy digging up anything and everything. So far, after almost 8 years, they have presented nothing, no proof that he has done anything wrong. Even the woman that claims she had the affair with him was not able to prove it. And by the way, she disobeyed the law by coming forward.

Actually, any man that can stand up to that much for that long must be a man of real character. Either that, or those the dems have investigating him are real bumblers.

Going back to my main point. Let’s remember that the dems have learned the lessons of Gary Hart. Let’s remember that not all accusations leveled on Republicans are true. Secondly, let’s let that little incident in second grade be forgotten. There just aren’t that many of us that have perfect pasts. We are going to need to ignore some of those 30 and 40 year old skeletons.

By the way, some have actually reformed over the years. You might remember that Reagan started out as a Democrat. Better to look at what a person is than what he was.

Who is at Fault?

Posted in Biden, Christian values, Deceit, Growing Old, Kamala Harris, Lawyers and Representation, Lobbyists by

Almost one week ago, Hamas started an attack on Israel. Since that time, every life lost was the fault of Hamas or their terrorists friends. Regardless of who pulled trigger, all the blood is on their hands.

And by the way, I would say Old Joe put in his 2 cents but it is actually 6 billion dollars, which he provided by way of Iran. And now he and his are quickly busy trying to deny it. However, he can’t. We all saw him do it. Even most of the media admits it.

To be sure his hands are in the innocent blood all the way to his elbows. Worse, he doesn’t care. His only concern is that he was caught.

Odd, as in Strange

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values, Communism by

I just became aware that North Korea is supplying weapons to Russia. I consider this very odd, considering it was not that long ago that the Soviets were the big supplier, not just to North Korea, but all over the world.

I don’t absolutely know it’s true. I mean, I am having to rely on our media on this. & of course, I am very much aware the news from our media is every bit as reliable as was Pravda, the former Soviet news agency.

Still, if true, it would be an indicator that Pravda would never want to admit. It would show just how much of a failure communism was & is everytime it’s tried.

It begs the question, if it failed so horribly there, why pursue communism elsewhere? This especially when freedom based capitalism has been such a success.

The Evil that Men Do

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values, Climate Change by

Here is your question of the day, one for you to contemplate. Do those who are good do evil? Do those who are evil do good?

To some degree, we all sin. To deny it is a lie. The best of us do things we shouldn’t. It is in our nature since the fall of Adam and we simply cannot avoid it. It is why Jesus came to be born and suffer his death on the cross. It is why we die. It is from the curse and it cannot be avoided. It is why the only way we can go to heaven is to accept that we are sinful and that being covered by the blood of Jesus is the only hope a man has.

However, there are men who have been or are particularly evil. Satan is evil and those that do the will of Satan do evil things. We all know people down through history that have done particularly evil things. Nero burned the city of Rome and blamed it on the Christians. Hitler blamed all the woes of Germany on the Jews, giving him the false reason to kill the Jews. Even to this day, there are tyrants who do evil things and, apparently have no conscience about it. They kill people by thousands, oddly, in some cases claiming that they are doing good.

To be sure, not all evil men are leaders of nations. Charles Manson and his crew was full of evil. Jim Jones orchestrated the deaths of more than 900 people. The man was evil and he did evil things long before he led all those people to their deaths. Indeed, he led them to their deaths because he realized he’d been found out of his evil ways.

Mostly, we can generalize, those who are evil do evil things. Those who are good do things that are good. However, we must remember that there are exceptions to the rule.

Today, we look over at the Middle East and what we see is just almost total evil. The Jews did nothing to deserve the attack by Hamas. However, with some encouragement from Iran and Satan, they decided they wanted to kill, take hostages, and rape. That is not the act of good men, but evil men. There is no other way to put it. Good men don’t do that sort of thing. Good leaders do not lead their people to do evil things. Because Hamas has continually done that which is evil, we must consider them to be evil. They are doing the work of Satan by trying to destroy God’s people. That, in itself is a subject that deserves an extensive explanation.

Death and destruction follow evil and evil follows Satan. The leaders of Hamas hate the Jews so much that they are willing to use their own women and children as shields to accomplish their evil.

When Old Joe and his cohorts turned 6 billion dollars over to Iran, they knowingly assisted in the evil. They aided and abetted evil intentionally. It is why I call him Old Joe. He is a murderer and the only title he deserves is murderer. His description is evil. He deserves not the title of president.

From the way he looks, he is likely not far away from meeting Jesus face to face. I mean I have a whole lot to explain when I meet Jesus. But Old Joe… He’s in worse shape than Jim Jones or Charles Manson. They only have a few deaths to their name. Old Joe is going to have to answer for thousands, perhaps millions. That just almost puts him in the same situation as Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler.

One more thing. If you help Old Joe, you are going to have some explaining to do, too. Indeed, if you helped him, then you helped the Iranians and you helped Hamas. You just might want to think about asking for forgiveness. You just might want to seek the salvation of the Lord. The way I see it, that is the only way to avoid your current destination. Do you really want to come face to face after rejecting Him and the salvation He gave died for. Somehow, I don’t think he will be impressed by what you did to stop climate change.

Retribution

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Build the Wall!, Cease fire between Israel and Gaza, Christian values, Communism, Lawyers and Representation, United Nations by

There is no doubt. In retribution for Iran’s part in the attacks on Israel, we should immediately require Iran to withdraw their ambassador and all of his mission from the US.

Wait a minute. We already did, let’s see, a long time ago. It was done when they took hostages from our embassy.

Now let me see. Again, why is it that Old Joe gave 6 billion to Iran? Just what purpose was it supposed to serve? What good did it serve?

Looks to me like it caused a whole lot of death and destruction, for Israel to be sure. But also for Hamas. Does anyone really think Israel will let Hamas get away with a slap on the wrist?

As usual, the dems are doing the things that result in death.

Oh yes. And by the way. This just might be the start of something bigger.

Let’s all say… thank you, Joe. Thank you very much. And let’s not forget all the puppeteers who are pulling Old Joe’s strings.

As my aside… Aren’t you really glad of all the United Nation was able to do. Sure am glad that they were able to do so much to preempt the disaster. Wait a minute. I am not sure they did one little thing to stop the attack. My guess is that, as usual, they were useless.

Does it Really Help to Know

Posted in Abuse of Power, Auto Quality Control, Being woke, Bribes, Christian values, Communism, Communist Takover, Customer complaints, Elections, Liberals, Politcal Opinion, Socialists, Supreme Court, Truth by

I took my Ford Taurus into the dealership to have some minor work done on it. When I went to pick it up, the service manager informed me that the anti-lock brakes control went bad. Then he suggested it might have been battery acid that dropped down on it.

I actually thought about arguing the point. The battery was relatively new and there was not one drop of acid around it. Moreover, it was in a tray which was also dry. I decided against it. I knew it would do no good.

I knew the guy was handing me a line but sometimes it isn’t enough to know. I wasn’t there to see it and I could see no evidence of anything that his man did. So that was it, more-or-less. Of course, the customer always has a last resort. I had owned three Fords before; none since.

The point is that sometimes, sometimes, it does not do any good to know. I knew the man was lying to me, but it did not do be any good. Anything short of having a video of the whole thing, I am doomed to lose the argument before I start. Even then, they might not accept a video of proof.

Well, there is another thing I know that will never do anyone any good. I know there was major cheating in the last election. Guess what. The dems know it too. The problem is that there was never a way to get it into the courts to prove anything; this even though some in position of authority outright admitted to not following the law. Incidentally, I believe the courts knew it too. I mean, it was a poorly kept secret.

The dems decided to ignore it and they insisted that everyone else ignore it too. Moreover, if anyone brought it up, the dems made sure that they suffered for it.

Now we stand on the brink of another election. You think they will do it again? They certainly will, if we permit it. Actually, they just might have obtained the power to do it even should we do not permit it. It may have already reached the tipping point. We, even now, might be living in a one party country. If so, it won’t do any good to know it. It will be too late. Very soon. we will all know. A lot of good it will do then.

Brandon Presley Says he is Pro Life

Posted in Abortions, Christian values, Planned Parenthood by

If Presley is pro life, he is in the wrong party. Should he become governor, they would toss him out of the party should he make one pro life decision. He is just carrying the pro life banner long enough to get elected. Then he would show his true colors.

Let’s face it, the dems are 110% pro abortion and they are proud of it. By the way, my guess is that Planned Parenthood is contributing to his campaign and I am sure Presley is making sure they know they have his support.
