News @ Ten

Posted in Biden, Bribes, Christian values, Crime, FOC, gun control, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, Our Legal Systems, Religion, Respect, Socialists by

The program went off and the 10 o’clock news came on. The first report was about two people being shot. I slapped the arm of my chair and explained, “Every day!”

I guess the city of Memphis does have days where people aren’t shot but it seems they are rare. I might be wrong but it doesn’t seem it was that way a few decades ago. Then again, maybe I just wasn’t aware of it.

I really don’t know. That just might be normal for a city the size of Memphis. Regardless, I believe it to be far too frequent.

So, what do I suggest?

  1. Pray. Some will argue it won’t help but it certainly is more effective than praying for the victims after the fact.
  2. Make sure those committing the crimes are imprisoned. I’m not saying just killers. Thieves, drug distributors etc too. I would suspect murder is not the first crime of those criminals.
  3. Build the families. I suspect most criminals do not come from good homes.
  4. Parents, teach your children about God, about right and wrong and about the special importance of human rights, and to have a proper respect for others.
  5. Teach your children proper respect for guns.
  6. School teachers, teach that killing and stealing is wrong. They too should stress the importance of common respect.
  7. All of us need to be reminded from time to time to respect the law and those who inforce it. Without the law, without those who inforce it, we would lose far more than 2 a day.

1 year practicing the above, and there would be a noticeable positive difference. Then again, that’s not what the dems want. They like blaming guns for what people do and the love pointing out the differences between the haves and have nots as a reason to steal. I’m still trying to figure out their logic on the advantages of drug abuse.

The fact is, only the dems benefit from crime. Those two that were shot today didn’t benefit from crime, regardless of party affiliation.

Got Away With That One

Posted in Christian values, Great News, Religion by

I can’t count the number of times I used the phrase over the years. I strongly suspect I’m not the only one. Sometimes, it’s intentionally. Sometimes I sliped by after an accidental mistake.

However, none of us really “get away” with anything. Every time we do something wrong, it is recorded, no matter how or great or small. Every day that we live adds to the stack. And here’s the truth. Each thing we do wrong will be paid for in full. That is the way it is. Because God is just, that is the way it must be.

Some would say that there is good news, the gospel. I call it great news. If you accept Jesus Christ as your savior, He will pay the price for every bad thing you did, for every bad thing you thought of doing and for not doing the things you should have done.

That means admitting to what you’ve done. That means turning from your ways and to follow Jesus’ way. That also means believing Jesus can and will pay all your penalties.

Now, that’s more than good news. That’s great news! And it would be very, very tragic if you turn your back on Him and choose the alternative, an eternity of paying for all the wrong you’ve done. Sorry. Really. Never-ever does it end. I truly wish I could say it would end, but that would be contrary to the word of God and God does not lie.

Gender Solution

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Christian values, Crazy Nuts, Crime, Deceit, FOC, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, Politally Correct, Religion, Socialists, Truth by

Seems silly in this day & age that we should need to explain the difference between men and women & which restroom each should use… or shouldn’t use. I cannot imagine any person holding a doctorate having such a problem in making such distinctions.

Be that as it may, I actually have a very simple solution, which might have additional advantages. Actually, the solution has been in use for over 40 years, on planes.

On airlines, there is no gender distinction. Each room is used for both, but only 1 person at a time. The beauty of this is that there is no need to wait for the men’s or women’s room. Each is used in turn without regard to gender.

I noticed in many public places, such as theaters, the women’s lines were always, without exception longer. If it was 1 person per facility, gender wouldn’t matter. It would be one line. And, of course, if a man chose to lie to himself and others, no problems. He’s by himself, anyway. Moreover, no worries of a man walking into a ladies room. (Oddly, I don’t recall hearing of problems or women going into men’s rooms.)

I suppose people could take tickets and wait their turn. I don’t know.

Of course there are real problems. Some facilities would have to accommodate handicapped. It would mean drastic reconstruction. In some some cases it might not even be practical. On the other hand, it might be as simple as changing the signs on the doors.

Then again, some people just don’t want solutions. They prefer fighting over it. Don’t have any idea why men want to use ladies rooms. Maybe they were just never properly taught. On the other hand, maybe they were improperly taught in the fantastic public schools. I mean, if the teachers don’t know the difference, how can we expect the kids to know any better?

Benefits of Incarceration of Criminals

Posted in Biden, Build the Wall!, Christian values, Crime, Deceit, Drug Abuse, FOC, Going Green by

Many try to use the cost of imprisonment to decrease it. Others like to say it doesn’t work. However, I will place before you many benefits of locking up the bad guys.

First, it discourages crime. If people see the possibility of spending serious time in real prisons, it just might decrease the temptation to steal the car or rob that store. If they realize that using any weapon in the the commitment a crime results in more hard time, it just might cut down on loss of life during crimes.

Then, there are indirect benefits, as in decreased insurance costs. Costs, in general would go down as they are related to theft in stores and medical costs due to injuries.

Oddly, even the “greenies” would benefit. Many cars have to be junked after they are stolen. This means more contaminants during the junking and the manufacturing of replacement autos.

My guess is that the biggest benefit is the decrease in murder. Murderers have a difficult time murdering from behind prison walls. This would far offset the cost of keeping the bad guys behind walls. Naturally, this is one of the aspects that can never be measured or calculated. Moreover, the pain can never be truly and totally known.

Then too, in an odd way, we can even save in the cost law enforcement. If we put the drug distributors in prison, we don’t need as many police officers, lawyers or judges. Oddly, it would help the dems in one of their goals…decreasing police funding. Ironically, I suspect even the police would like to see that. On the other hand, the lawyers just might not appreciate the loss of revenue.

Oddly, it might actually help one of the biggest goals of the libs. With the the decrease in crime, there would be a huge decrease in gun sales.

Then again, is it gun sales decrease they seek, or is it the second amendment they are actually after? I think I know the answer to that question, though the libs would prefer none of us ever know. The knowledge of the truth would ruin the effectiveness of the deceit.

As for me, the greatest benefit of incarnation of criminals is in the decrease of sadness from loss of life, property and the feelings of security while safely walking the streets.

Competition is a Wonderful Thing

Let’s go back to the days of yore. Let’s imagine 3 cobblers set up shop. Which one will have the most success. To some degree, the one that is the fastest. However, the cobbler who makes a thousand shoes will never succeed unless he can sell his shoes. Therefore, his shoes need to be of good quality and the proper sizes. No one will buy shoes that are too small or will fall apart in a week.

If there were just 1 cobbler, we’d be stuck with whatever he wanted to make. The footware would be ugly, ill fitting and they wouldn’t last. The instant a second cobbler opens up shop, and then a 3rd and fourth, the quality would go up and the cost would go down.

It’s the way competition works and it’s wonderful. For well over 200 years, it has turned the USA to the greatest nation ever. There is no other country where people are willing to risk everything to get in. Moreover, as badly as the illegal aliens are treated, they hide in fear of being sent home.

Yet we prevent fair competition in one of the most important parts of our society. Of course private schools have a hard time competing with public schools. The government is picking up the tab for public schools.

Yet, there are thousands of parents willing to make great sacrifices to put their children in private schools. The why is quite simple. Public schools lack quality. They simply lack good teachers, good curriculum or good results.

The libs brag about public schools but, take away public funding and they would instantly go away. I know this is true because the libs themselves have said as much. They have said if monies are diverted to private schools, the public schools would go away. They actually live in fear of it.

Well, maybe they should go away. It is the way of competition. Only the better schools would survive. Only the best teachers would continue to teach. It is the American way. It is what made America great. Why in the world should we settle for a less than a mediocre education system when we are paying for the best?

Settling for mediocre schools is worse than Settling for mediocre shoes. And yet we stand by and watch our public school funds being poured down the proverbial drain…without results.

The Work is Great (if you can get it)

Posted in Abuse of Power, Awkward Situation, Biden, Christian values by

I just became aware of one way that Joe made his fortune. He provided 12 lectures at a college for which he received 900 grand. There are but 3 questions that come to mind.

  1. what kind of lecture might possibly be worth that kind of money.
  2. can anyone produce the cliff notes on the lecture. Was it anything other than rambling jiberish.
  3. I would like to known if there is so much as one person who is willing to admit to attending the lecture.
  4. oh one more. Can anyone point out so much as one thing worthwhile they learned from his lecture, that is besides how dumb the man is.

It is but one example of lefthanded bribery, not only for Joe but for politicians in general, on both sides of the isle. You want to know who…look at those who earn beyond their salary.

Daily Exercise

Posted in Christian values, Religion by

Over the years I’ve come to the conclusion that a brisk daily walk of 2 to 3 miles is a very good form of exercise. The muscles in the legs are some of the largest in the body and exercising them helps in circulation. Not only does this help to distribute the nutrition but it also helps in the collection of waste.

Though I am not a doctor, I’ve confirmed my thoughts with a number of MDs. I only wish I found this out many years earlier. I believe I would have never reached 280 lbs. More importantly, I likely would have never had some of my other heath probems, such as diabetes.

However, walking 3 miles a day does require some time. At 4 miles an hour, we are talking 45 minutes. Some people like to listen to music or an audio book. I guess a person could, oddly use the time for writing; or more accurately, dictate books, papers or maybe reports. I know of folks that talk almost 500 words a minute. After a month or two, an author could almost dictate “War and Peace. ” Well, maybe 1/2 of it.

On the other hand, you just might use it for prayer time. It might give a new meaning to walking with God. Just maybe God will like it too. I can’t see it hurting anything. By the way, you just might learn to enjoy your time with God.

On the other hand, some just might question your sanity, especially should you explain.

As an aside, might I suggest you non believers try this, that is if you’re willing to chance it.

Gospel?

Posted in Christian values by

I was saved at 13. However, over the years, some of my thoughts have varied. To be sure, my basic faith has only grown stronger. Once I put my salvation in the unfailing hands of Jesus Christ, that has not wavered one bit.

However, from time-to-time I have considered and reconsidered some of things that are still being considered by many who are smarter than me. In addition, I do learn things I didn’t know before.

I guess one thing that bothered me over the years is the use of the word gospel. So, I sat down and did some research on the word. Certainly, I cannot claim to be the end all expert on the word. Indeed, I am likely going to upset some, if not all those who read this.

I guess the thing that prompted my thinking was the misuse of the words, gospel truth. Technically, it literally means good news truth. To me, it simply makes no sense. If if it does, maybe someone can explain that to me, especially when used completely outside Christianity. I mean, consider when a criminal is saying to the detective, “I’m telling you the gospel truth.”

The word, gospel comes from old English, god spell meaning good story. So as we read the word gospel from the Bible, it is a word interpreted from the Greek and then from old English. Why not just avoid the extra translations and simply translate straight to modern English. Let’s just say good news.

And for sure, let’s avoid good news truth. To be sure, the good news as recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is good news. However, saying good news in front of any story does not automatically make it the truth.

As long as I am on the subject of the good news, might I suggest you read the good news according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It’s not just good news. It’s the best news for us all.

Mistakes?

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, CDC, Christian values, Controllers, Fauci, FOC by

Anyone who has read any of my books knows that I am prone to mistakes. I leave words or phrases out or I put them in twice. In some cases I redundantly use also at the front of a sentence and use too at the end. In spite of every effort, I use there instead of their and vice-versa. Don’t know why. I really do know the difference.

When I wrote “Survivors,” I realized I had a tendency to spell the word ers instead of ors. So before I released the book, I did a search on “survivers,” and made 5 corrections. Then of all things, when I released the book, I spelt the title ers. Now that’s dumb and I was prompted reminded of it. I thanked the woman and made the correction. By the way, others who read the book liked it.

Now, it would seem that the dems are trying to convince us that Fauci and his friends were simply making mistakes about the China virus (the spread, the masks, closing schools, the source, etc, etc. and so forth) Here’s news for Fauci and all his comrads. Even I don’t make that many mistakes. That tells me it was all on purpose. It means they caused millions of deaths on purpose, as in intentionally.

If it was all by mistake, maybe that’s worse… that we would have someone in charge of our national health even more prone to mistakes than me.

Proof

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Bribes, Christian values, Climate Change, FOC, Going Green, Impeachment, Lawyers and Representation, Mayor Pete, Pipelines, Truth by

The recent train derailing in Ohio has resulted in the following solid proof.

  1. dems are only interested in ecology when it is politically adventurous for them. You notice how Joe and Pete and their dem friends are trying to ignore the obvious disaster.
  2. dems can’t fix the disasters when they try. Politics, they are good at. Impeachment of guiltless presidents, they are well experienced at. Accomplishments of real work, not so much.
  3. Anything, especially oil can be shipped by pipes far more safely than train or truck. And by the way, while also producing less pollution.

Among other things, maybe the dems need to take another real look at pipelines. Then again, maybe ecology isn’t their real goal. Perhaps it isn’t the real issue. Just maybe Joe is more interested in delivering on bribes than in American interests.
