The Big Why for Presley

Brandon Presley, Democrat candidate for Mississippi governor, keeps airing ads that he is not in favor of many Democrat ideas. Great! Then WHY, WHY isn’t he Republican?

My suggestion as long as he’s a dem, then he’s a dem and he has associated himself with dem idealism. If he wants to claim Republican ideas, maybe he should bail out of the dem party… as many others have.

My guess, he is a dem with dem ideas. He’s just too ashamed to admit it. I mean really, boys saying they are girls. Only the dems would come up with an idea like that. If he doesn’t agree with dems, why hasn’t he distanced himself from it long ago.

Making Up the Rules Along the Way

During the 1200s, the Catholic church decided to make rule change. It was all official. It was decided at the Second Council of Lyon. Henceforth, people would be able to help their dead relatives by prayer and by alms.

So, if that favorite great aunt might not have been good enough to go to heaven, a person could give money to the church and then that grate aunt could go onto heaven, that is of course after the church received the proper sum.

It’s not biblical. The Catholic church made it up. While it had no affect on those who already died, it has brought a huge success to the Catholic church. Have you ever noticed the large number of huge Catholic cathedrals throughout Europe? Can you imagine the materials that went into their making, let alone the labor? Mostly built after the 1200s mind you.

Don’t get me wrong. We should have nice buildings for worship. However, the monies to build them should never be coerced. To be sure, the cathedrals are dens of thieves. The money was obtained through false teachings and totally for the power, profit and the benefit of the church.

It is convenient when a religion can make the rules along the way. In this case, it not only misled people but it also drove people from real Christianity. How many times have you heard someone say they would not go to a church because they are a bunch of hypocrites? Guess what? When it comes down to it, at least with some segments of the Catholic church, I certainly agree.

Down through the centuries, history is full of so-called preachers who are full of themselves. They make their fortunes off Christianity. And, of course, they believe not what they, themselves teach. In every state, in every major city, there are those who claim to be, but are not true ambassadors of Christ.

One of the ways you can spot them is that they love to make the rules along the way. If what they teach is not biblical, they are liars and likely thieves making their ill gotten gains off the hopes of others.

Take for instance the Mormons, Church of the Latter Day Saints. They had a really neat rule. The men could marry 4 wives, some married more. Great for the men, not so much for the women. It’s just not biblical. They made it up. They liked the new rule so they decided to adopt it. Well, nowadays, they claim to have removed their really neat rule, but some still live by it. Nonetheless, they have decided to adopt the Book of Mormon over the Bible, even though it is constantly being changed and revised.

One of the most horrid rules ever invented by any of these so-called churches is that you must do something aside from having faith in Jesus Christ to go to have eternal life. If any church, no matter who it is that is preacher tells you that you must do A, B or C it is a false teaching and comes from Satan. This is especially true if they say you must give money or possessions to that organization.

Read John 3:16 and 17

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. 17 ‘Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Not only is Jesus the only one who can save you, only He has the authority. He will not allow anyone or anything to usurp His authority nor will He allow anything or anyone to be given the credit for that which He and He alone has done.

If anyone tells you anything else, they are trying to change the rules along the way, likely for their purpose.

It has been said that John 3:16 is the Gospel in a nutshell and I’d have to say it at the least comes close to it. However, might I add, it is a direct quote from Jesus, though interpreted from the Aramaic that Jesus spoke. If anyone speaks contrary to these words, he is calling Jesus a liar.

I Have Questions

While the news is all full of stories about the recapture of the murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, I have questions that, I guess no one wants to answer.

My first question is, did he enter the US legally? On my own, I determined he is from Brazil. However, I suppose he might have come legally. Given the way things are at the border, the chances are high his arrival was illegal?

That, naturally brings up the supposition that the woman he killed would still be breathing.

My next question is how many dems are willing to lay this death at the feet of Old Joe? Had it not been for Joe’s changes in policy, the man might still be south of the border waiting for a hearing.

Third question. How much time, effort and money was spent convicting the man? Thousands? Tens of thousands? A lot? By the way, his defense was also likely paid for by the tax payers.

Another question, how many more times is this story repeated to some degree all over the country? How many more times will it take before the dems decide it’s time to seal the border. How many more deaths will it take to open their eyes?

And now the escape and search! How many law enforcement men have been pulled from other important duties? How much money was dispersed in the effort?

And then, by the way, the man was armed. Law enforcement officials might have been wounded or killed. Oh, and by the way, bystanders – children might have been hurt.

My last question…would anyone, anyone at all ask Old Joe if he feels any remorse for opening the floodgates? I doubt anyone will. It’s one of those rhetorical questions. You know, the ones where we already know the answer. Besides, he might be one of the few in this country who wouldn’t understand the question.

I guess I lied. I do have 1 more question, the rhetorical type. Are we ready for Old Joe to pack his things and go back to where he can’t do any more damage?

Profanity Used Freely

Daily writing prompt
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

I already spoke of it, but back when Trump was still one of the seventeen, it bothered that he used the profanity so much. I still don’t like it, but I’ll put up with it when he did so well at so many things while in office. I’d list them for you, but I bet you already know them.

While We Watched in Horror, They Cheered

Odd, no invitation to write about 9/11.

Be that as it may, let me summarize what happened. We watched in horror as two huge buildings burned and collapsed.

The je hads all cheered as over 5000 Americans died.

Then, ever so quickly, we heard, “Don’t blame them all for what a few did.”

Okay fine. I’ll go along with that but for one thing. I heard abolutely not one man who believes in je jads say one thing publicly denouncing anything that was done.

Maybe there were those who hated what happened but where are they.

Repeatedly, I hear, Please don’t hold it against me for what my countrymen have done. Fine. If you denounce it publicly, both the actions and the beliefs, then I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Until then I must assume you are in agreement with them. Indeed, I must assume you were one of those who cheered.

And then there are those indifferent. What can I say. Can’t figure that out at all.

Finally, there are those who took advantage of what happen. Some made their fortunes off the billions of federal dollars paid and overpaid.

Then, would you believe it, there are those who took political advantage of it. They would not have been able to spy on trump the candidate but for the FISA court set up to catch terrorists. Looks to me like misuse of the justice system, done by the very woman who said no one is above the law, Ms. Clinton.

Of course, there was no need me writing this. You already knew about all of it.

At any rate, the libs are in an awful hurry to get us to forget it all. It goes against the spin. They want us all to believe that it’s only the white guys who are bad.

Where’s the Penalty

The federal court has found the Biden administration guilty of interfering with freedom of speach through social media. Assuming the decision holds, I wonder who will be penalized. Who will go to prison? Who will have have to pay a fine? Who will have this hand slapped?

Who and how will those harmed be compensated? Where is justice when the law has no penalty? If I haul off and hit someone, the chances are pretty good I will go to jail or at least pay a fine. If I say something false about someone that causes him, I’ll likely going to make him richer.

On the other hand, the president and his crew can pretty much do as he wants. Then what happens? If it’s Old Joe, it likely won’t even make the evening news

Might I remind those who care, the above action likely chaged the outcome of the election. And the dems like to say no one is above the law. I guess that is also true when there is no penalty for flagrantly breaking the law.

Capitalism vs Communism

Real capitalism really works. It has a history of centuries of success.

Communism really fails. No matter what name you want to call it, it stifles production encourages lazyness and mostly discourages the inventive nature of mankind.

What was it Edison said about genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Well, do you really think Edison would have invented all he did under a truly communist government. It’s why Russia and China are very good at copying. Not so good at inventing.

And so it is that communist nations reward certain of their citizenry. Then, it is no loger communism but socialism, which, by the way does not not work much better. Fulton would have never teken the risks he did to build the steamboat as he did if he knew it would have been taken over by the government.

I might also mention, the US tought Russia modern oil technology. We already had it. They taught us not one thing about it. No one in the USSR had a reason to build the better widget, or the better mouse trap.

The more that the socialists reward those entrepreneurs willing to invest their perspiration, the closer it gets to capitalism, and the more likely it will succeed.

Better to just start with capitalism. It avoids all the dumb ideas. It avoids all the pain, suffering and death trying to put the round peg in the square hole; or is it the square peg in the round hole?

Regardless, be it known, when rhe communists take over, people and freedom always die. It is historic. It has happened 100% of the time.

In the Air We Breathe

News flash- University of Washington have found traces of drugs in the Washington & Oregon transit systems air and surfaces. If there, then where else?

I guess this means that if the degeration continues, we might need to go back to wearing masks again whenever we go out in public. Even more we also need to wear gloves and carefully discard both after they are removed. It will likely be good to change clothing. Thar stuff can be absorbed through skin.

Keeping that Mexican border open is and was a bad idea. Now, even more important, we need to send good strong signals to China and the cartels. If we don’t, we might need to wear space suits every time we leave our homes.

The worst part is that the party in power does not care one iota. Ask them about the drug problem and all you’ll hear is crickets, that is, unless the insects start getting high too.

Somebody’s Watching!

A few days ago, I was surfing the web, looking at electric riding mowers. They really, really want a lot for those things. When I first went into the Marines, I could have bought a nice car for what they want for those things.

Well, at least the mower would cut grass as well as providing a ride.

The point is, yesterday, I received a message in my email from a company selling mowers. Now I wonder. Just how did they know I was looking at mowers? More importantly, how did they know my email address?

Actually, I was only curious. I had no interest in buying one, at least for another year or two.

More importantly, if you was the one watching, I’d now not buy a tricycle from you. Don’t like folks who like spying on me. For all those others looking over my shoulder wishing to do business with me, you just might want to remember that.
