Should not be surprised if they find themselves arriving to the wrong location.
Simple. Obvious. Yet ignored by so many. For example, Memphians vote for Democrats and are surprised by the upturn in crime. They are taken aback when they have the worst schools in Tennessee.
I know. I said I was done posting. And I mean it. And I am horrible for making exceptions. Still, every now and then someone will say something so typically Democratic, synonymous with dumb, and it would seem I am the only one in the world who notices just how stupid it is.
I am not sure who said it on one of those liberally controlled Sunday morning shows, but it makes little difference. It is a thought shared by most, if not all, the leadership of the Democrats.
The critique centered on Trump’s leadership style, highlighting his tendency to make unilateral decisions without prior consultation. The source suggested that such unpredictability undermines diplomatic relationships, potentially creating tension with foreign leaders who expect more measured and collaborative approaches to international relations.
First, sometimes the best thing a president can do is be strategic with opponents. Secondly, he is not being particularly deceptive. For the most part, he is doing what he said he would do during his campaign.
I guess they slept through those parts, or at least some of them did. Certainly, I have not seen anything that could be called deception. Then again, I do not keep my fingers in my ears during the campaign.
Please, if there is one person out there who believes that one national leader should be surprised, please send me your comment. However, I would hope you will not use any profanity.
The town of DC has been in a state of upheaval since the swearing in of the new administration. It seems as if a fleet of steam rollers has descended upon the city, relentlessly searching for ways to cut costs. Fortunately, this pursuit has uncovered widespread corruption within the system.
There appears to be a significant number of politicians and judges attempting to impede the progress of the team by introducing various obstacles in an effort to slow and halt the momentum of the steamrollers.
When considering the enthusiasm and energy surrounding some, one might get the impression that those in positions of great power favor overlooking the corruption.
Oh! And by the way, it seems to be drawing the worst of the rotten news media out of the wood work as well.
Those who squeal the loudest are often the ones with the most skeletons in their closet. It’s almost as if they’re trying to distract us from their own shady dealings by pointing fingers. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
It reminds me of the old saying that my older brother used to love to repeat, “Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you to stand behind you to speak on something of which I know nothing about.” Okay. You can look it up on the internet, though my brother did not quote it right. It really is worth reading the whole thing if you have a minute or two. However, it’s not my point at this time. It is simply a way to introduce that which confuses me.
A number of decades ago, there was a nation, a horrible nation called Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). As I read the Bible, which I have read completely at least 7 times cover to cover, I did from time to time come across verses that confused me. They never caused me to doubt but they did cause me confusion.
Perhaps some of those passages is in Ezekiel. Well, at one one time, I was pretty sure of my understanding, you know the part about Gog and Magog. Between my own reading and some commentaries, I figured that it was referencing the USSR. The problem with that is that, now, the USSR no longer exists.
Ronald Reagan said that the nation would fall. In my mind, I said, “Right. Like that is going to happen. Communist nations never fall. Once the commies have their hold on any country, they won’t ever let go,” but they did. It seemed in a matter of weeks but it was more like months, the huge powerhouse crumbled before my eyes.
So. So much for my belief that the USSR is Gog and Magog. The thing is, Ezekiel is clear about it. Gog and Magog will come down from the north and attack Israel. It is also very clear that it will be a very powerful nation.
While Russia is still powerful, it is not what it used to be. However, to be sure, Russia is not much better than the USSR. More than that, Putin has voiced his desire to put the former empire back together. Worse, the dems don’t seem to want to get in his way. By driving the price of oil up to a hundred dollars a barrel, they have helped in the financing of it.
So, is Gog and Magog going to be the the reconstituted Soviet Union?
As I said in my opening statement, I don’t know. It sounds logical. Regardless. No matter what nation is being referred to, I would not want to be there when God decides to punish them. I won’t tell you what will happen to them. Just read it for yourself in Ezekiel 23.
I might be confused as to who Gog and Magog are. However, I have a pretty good idea of the punishment that awaits them and the reason.
Finally, for those who doubt the existence of God, study the history of Israel. A) The prophecies concerning the nation are coming true. B) Notice what happens to those nations that have treated Israel badly. Egypt, Babylonia, Rome and Germany. They aren’t but shells of what they were. I suspect it will not be long before Russia will receive their punishment as well regardless of if they are Gog and Magog or not.
For those who have a brain, take note. God can reduce the US to rubble. He just might decide to do it if we, too treat Israel badly. We have been forewarned. Even more, we have the examples.
Actually, it was a title of an old TV show, 1957-1963. Yes, I used to watch it. I enjoyed it, far more than the game shows of today. It would seem, today they might name a show, how far can we push it until the FCC pulls the figurative plug.
The title of the show was brought to mind recently as someone used the phrase in an attempt to push Kamala for president. It seemed a good line to build a post around. I mean, the US voters put Old Joe in the Oval Office for four years. It was close in that he almost didn’t get elected and he almost got another four years.
But then something happened to put a stop to it all, almost instantly. Today, almost everyone in this country will admit the man has really lost it. He could never have done it. There is no telling what the plan was in the dem hierarchy but, for the short term, they were going to ask the voters to put our trust in who just might get lost crossing the street.
Some might be wondering what my point is. Others might already have figured it out. I have not concealed it well. I mean, just who is going to trust a woman who was going to ask us to trust Old Joe, when she knew what might very well have happened as a result.
However, she was not nearly the only one. The entirety of the leadership of the Democrat party was asking us to vote for a man who could hardly find his way to or from a podium. To think, that we trusted him to carry the codes to a nuclear war. Yeah, that’s right, he still has them until January, no matter who wins in November. I don’t know about you but that scares me.
Going back to the title of my post, who do you trust? Do you really trust a party that put our country in that much danger for four years, yes, for a while, they wanted us to give him four more years to endanger, not just the country, but the entire planet in so much danger.
As an aside, you might ask those folks worshiping our planet, nature and all the trees, “What would have happened if Old Joe decided to call an end to mankind and to all that lives on planet earth?”
Maybe it is time to take those codes away from him now. Maybe it is time to invoke the 25th amendment. Better yet, Maybe it is time to remove them both from office, Old Joe and the woman that aided and abetted the danger the dems put us in.
Won’t ever happen, of course. The dems would rather risk total annihilation than let the Speaker ascend to the presidency. With that in mind, can you ever trust a dem again, ever.
When I wrote my book, “Mitch” I tried to put passages in it that would drive the youth away from drugs. As you can see, that didn’t work. Not many read the book. If they read it, they haven’t paid any attention. I would say my words fall on deaf ears, but they fact is my words don’t reach their ears.
In one of the passages, the main character, Mitch, is explaining to Margo one of his worst fears as policeman in drug enforcement is to one day look down the barrel of a gun held by a twelve year-old. In the book, he doesn’t explain it further. The reason for his fear is obvious. Does he kill the youth in self-defense or because of his age, does he allow the youth to pull the trigger on him?
As I wrote the words, and more over the years, I do wonder if there are similar situations that police officers are put in from time to time. I suspect it does happens. Sometimes the officer allows the youth to pull the trigger. In some cases, the officer pulls the trigger, knowing that he will live with the regret… knowing that those who appointed him to protect and serve will accuse him forever and a day. For sure, many times the officer goes to prison.
Don’t get me wrong. The officer is not always right to pull the trigger. I would never make a good cop. I would be among those that might pull the trigger when the kid has a B-B gun. Then I would have to suffer the rest of my life knowing that I made a mistake, though it isn’t really a mistake. B-B guns frequently do look like real guns, especially in the heat of the moment.
When I was a kid, that sort of thing didn’t happen. Why is it so commonplace today? There might be many reasons. However, I know of two. When I was a kid, kids were not involved in crime. Today, it is more and more common for younger and younger kids to have real guns and pull the trigger with little or no reason. Without police, the eleven and twelve-year-olds would be shooting each other as, to some degree, they do today.
The second reason is a little more difficult to see, but it’s there. The proliferation of the drug culture. At first, it was just the adults that were the only ones shooting at each other over the drugs and money. I guess, in the future we can look forward to 10 or even 9-year-olds shooting at each other.
As the youth die, the dems don’t care. They do nothing to curtail drug use. In fact, they seem to do things to encourage it and the accompanying violence, you know, like letting the cartel import the poison over the border.
You never, ever see the dems shedding a tear at the loss of the lives of children, actually over anyone. It facilitates the goals of ridding the country of law enforcement by decreasing their funding, which only adds to the problem, which, of course is by design.
I made a mistake. At 9 PM I went shopping. I admit. It was a weakness. I have learned it is not as hot after the sun goes down and at my age, I am not nearly able to take the heat as well.
So, apparently, right after I left the house the stories started breaking. The rumors are flying and it is difficult to nail any of it down.
Apparently, and I say apparently, because I have not been able to nail it down; many of the dem leaders are asking Old Joe to step aside from the election, citing the fact his poles on in tank and a little lower. From what I gather, Old Joe told them to get lost. He said his poles are just fine and he is going to win.
I did find reports from a couple of networks and Reuters News have reported that the pressure is now on.
On the other hand, Old Joe has put his defenses up by trying a virtual early vote. His hope is that if he gets the official vote, it will be more difficult to remove his nomination. Hence, the race is on. Does he lose his nomination before he is officially nominated. For that matter, will it protect him as he hopes?
Then too, the questions arise. Is it legal to remove him by force? Are threats going to be made? If he does bow to the pressure, who will the nominee be? Then too, questions of law pop up. Can the dems really negate the thousands of votes in the primary. If so, how do they go about it.
Then again, there is another real problem they have. If he is not fit to serve as pres in January, is he fit now? Or…. at what point between the two points in time does Old Joe become unfit and how do we Know. Do the doctors give him a test at the beginning of each day and certify him fit for the day.
Then too, the one question that most concerns me. Are those commie dems going to try to make me listen to that voice and cackling of Kamala for 4 years? I hope she avoids news conferences as much as Old Joe did.
Then again, we could resolve the interim thing in a real hurry. We could quickly disqualify Kamala and Old Joe remove them both from office at once. Now that’s a thought I like to think.
The prompt about making food reminded me of something that happened a very long time ago. Well, maybe not so long geologically speaking. Let’s put it this way. I am now 76 and it happened when I was yet in high school. That would make it early 60s. I am sure to some of my readers, that is ancient.
Regardless, I had made a yellow cake. While it was cooling, I started on the frosting, chocolate. I had made a syrup of coco, water, a little salt, vanilla and water. My younger sister had entered the kitchen and I could see she was eyeing the my little mixture. I warned her that she wouldn’t like it if she got any of it. I turned to prepare the confection sugar and out of the corner of my eye I saw my sister move suddenly. Yup, from the expression on her face, I could see she tried to raid the syrup.
I got a pretty good laugh and my sister got a long drink of water. She didn’t even bother with a glass. She drank it right out of the faucet. I am sure if she could, she would have liked to be able to undo that function. I suspect she wished she had a backspace key. Fortunately, five minutes later, it was just a bad memory.
I must admit, I would have been tempted too. That little mixture I made up really looks good. But it is the ultimate in bitterness. The chocolate frosting that I put on that cake was mixed with sugar. In fact, it was mostly sugar. It wasn’t truly chocolate, but chocolate flavored.
You know, a lot of life is like that. It looks so-o-o good, but, in the end, it is very bitter. I don’t know about you, but it seems I need to learn that lesson over and over again. The sweetness of chocolate is only there after the sugar is added. Somethings in life remain bitter, regardless of how much sugar is added.
Old Joe has managed to do something I thought was impossible. He has split the party. Part of the party is standing behind him, ready to lie and deceive for him. The other half is busy trying to figure out how to throw the man off the Democrat ticket. While, at the same time, trying to figure out with whom to replace him.
This, of course, while the individuals try to maintain and increase their individual and collective political power.
I guess all the while, it is all triggered by power. Many who are closely associated with Old Joe don’t want him to go down in flames. The rest, who have finally seen the handwriting on the wall, realize that if they have any hopes of maintaining the power are ready toss Old Joe overboard in hopes of saving the ship.
(Is that what they call a mixed metaphor? Either way, I am sure you know what I mean.)
It is a phrase commonly used by the dems, very erroneously I might add. It is the dems who have cost the lives of millions, not Trump. It is the dems who hate the Israelis, not Trump, who returned to the capital of Israel to Jerusalem after many failed before him. If anyone deserves the title of Nazis, it’s the dems who insist on the cease fire in Gaza.
Nonetheless, there are two men who were worse than Hitler, Marx and Darwin.
To be sure, Darwin was an inspiration to Hitler. It was he who inspired the concept of ‘survival of the fittest.’ It was Darwin who gave Hitler the idea of eliminating inferior races. It is why he wanted to destroy the Jews and the blacks as well as anyone who had any disabilities. Also, it is Darwin who inspired the Scopes monkey trial, which initiated driving God out of our schools and the teaching of evolution.
So, when you talk of the 6 million Jews killed by Hitler, let’s remember it started with Darwin. Moreover, Hitler began the WWII on the basis of the theory of evolution. For this reason, you can pretty well accredit every life lost in the European theater to Darwin, though he never pulled a trigger. (not that I know of)
On the other hand, Marx inspired the likes of Stalin and Lenin. While neither ever really wanted Marxist communism, they used it to sell their leadership, while justifying the killing and imprisoning untold millions in the process. Between the two of them, they killed over ten million in the name of communism. Thanks to Mr. Marx, millions of Jews were forced from Russia and right into the waiting arms of Hitler.
I have found it odd, but it is possible that Hitler saved the world from the likes Stalin and Linen. Hitler put a stop to communism in Europe and might have slowed communism long enough to keep them from taking over the world. I don’t know. Just a thought that I won’t confirm this side of eternity. Perhaps it is the reason to the oft asked question of why God did not kill Hitler.
Of course, Mao, another Marxist, killed, perhaps as many as 50 million while establishing his kingdom. Then to make matters worse, after his revolution, even more were dying of starvation, which caused him to turn to Indochina for food. That, in turn resulted in problems in Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Therefore, we can ultimately thank Marx for the loss of American armed forces in Korea as well as Vietnam. However, it did not stop there. Pot killed just about one forth of the population of Cambodia while establishing his kingdom there, though it was in the name of communism.
So, oddly, after all this history, you’d think we would know better. You’d think people would learn. However, it is true, people are quick to believe the lie and slow to accept the truth.
The biologists all over the world worship evolution and the economists bow down before the god of communism. It would seem they worship the same gods as Hitler, Lenin and Stalin did. Moreover, they come down hard on anyone that refuses to accept their religion beliefs. At first, they made fun of us. Now, those of us who refuse to follow their unproved and unworkable beliefs are apt to end up in prison or, in some cases, dead.
It is how they love to work. Remember, they have no fear of God. Their religion is communism. They want us too, to fear and follow communism, though they know it will never work. Indeed, it is about power. It is all about the power and they don’t like it when we fear God more than them.
There is no telling how many will die because of the writings of Marx and Darwin, but God already knows. And He will see to it that the 2 of them pay for the every one of those deaths especially children. It will make them wish they never picked up a pen and paper. Also, He will make sure those who spread the false religion will pay for it too. He really does know how to do that.
