Root of Evil

What is it that can cause a person to steal from friends and relatives. What is it that can drive us to risk the well being of ourselves, our friends, our community and our nation.

Some have indeed abandoned oath of office and the good of constituents. It has caused judges and upstanding citizens disgrace and ruin.

I am sure, by now, most of you have figured it out. It is as Jesus said. The root of all evil is the love of money.

Indeed, when a man loves money more than than his brothers, then his brothers are not safe from him. When a president loves money more than his country, you get someone who looks a lot like Old Joe.

When a husband loves money more than his wife and family, he loses that which he has in casinos because of sicknessof greed. Moreover, he will steal so as to lose even more.

The love of money will drive a soldier or sailor to betray his country and the nation that loves money more than God will fall suddenly. For the one citizen will not trust the other.

Money causes man to do ugly things such as selling his fellow man into slavery and the woman into evil so as to increase his wealth. t will destroy the guilty man’s conscience so he knows no guilt.

In a strange ugly way, there are those evil men who seek money by distortion of God’s word, by promising wealth to those who will only have faith.

Why Can’t My Son Go to the 4 Grade

WRONG QUESTION!!

I was watching news last night and I heard a woman complaining, Why can’t my son go to the 4th grade?

I understand her grief. I understand her desires. My older son spent time in a California school. He also spent some time in a Memphis school. It is the primary reason we moved to Desoto County.

My advice to that woman or to anyone who has his child in Shelby County schools, get them out! just as fast as they can.

Many things can be done to improve the schools, but that would take time. You don’t have time. Besides, I don’t think they want to improve the schools. Their purpose is to take your money and gain power. Some teachers try, but, for them, they are swimming upstream. When they make the other teachers look bad, the union reps have words with them.

At this point, I’m not sure Desoto County schools are that good. I saw signs of degrading the last few years my sons were there, decades ago. Today, I would do what I could to keep my dependents out of any public schools completely.

Moreover, my advice to this and all parents in Shelby County is to ask the right questions. My question, above all, is why is it that OUR children can’t read. I emphasize OUR, because we aren’t talking 2 or 3, or 5 or 6. We are talking thousands. Shelby County schools are some of the worst performing in Tennessee and the US.

If it were individuals, we could say the child is the problem. The fact is, it isn’t the failure of the students I’m concerned with. It is the failure of the system, one which has money flooding in, and failure flowing out.

The long term solution, vote Republican. Get those dems out of there just as fast as you can. Fire teachers who can’t or won’t teach. Better to have 8th graders who can teach than a PhD who can’t.

Finally, minimize control by teachers unions.They have no business at all in the control of the schools, teaching methods or what is being taught.

Lest We Forget

Every time I turn on the news, it seems the first words are something to the effect, First president to stand trial….

May I remind one and all, Clinton admitted to felonies while still in office. Quite possibly, the only reason he was not removed from office was a number of hard-headed dems who did not want to admit the truth.

Moreover, the FBI director effectively told the whole world that Mrs. Clinton committed crimes for which she should have been permanently placed behind bars. Then she was let go. She had 2 things going for her, her name and her political party.

Then there is the granddad of them all, literally. Old Joe is escaping prosecution cause he’s too senile to stand trial. This is on record from the special prosecutor, though he put it a little more politely.

Paxlovid DON’T Work!

Confirmation by new study. A Confirmation of another CDC lie. All the money spent on it was wasted. Who knows how many died because CDC can’t tell the truth.

Before you follow the guidance of the CDC, you might want to consider their history of intentional falsehoods. I know I will.

Let’s Keep the Proper Perspective

if Trump had remained in office, the price of oil would have remained $30 a barrel or less. Putin would not have been able to afford to attack Ukraine. Iran would not have had the money to back HAMAS and other Israel haters. Hence, there would have been no war in the Middle East. China would not be causing us grief with drugs and Nationalist China (Fomosa).

We would not have illegal immigrants running across the border and they would not be killing our citizens by the tens of thousands. (via drugs and in other ways)

Finally, we would not have new insurgents of diseases such as measles, TB and likely a few others.

Of course, the dems don’t care. All they wanted to do was to get the orange man out of office, and why. Just what damage did he do, other than to those who hate the US and our Constitution?

The fact is, the only people he hampered were those who were seeking power and money.

A Brief Look Back at German History

I say this with great caution. It will make it so I can easily be misquoted. And to be sure, we do live in a society that loves to misquote intentionally for personal gain.

There is one part of German history that the dems would love for the world to forget forevermore. During the time that Hitler was making his move, the communists were already well on their way to establishing themselves in the leadership of Germany and many other European countries, as well as the US.

Many would like us to forget that the communists were well on their way to dominance in Europe when Hitler put a stop to it. Had he not done that, it might have been the Soviets we fought in WWII.

Don’t get me wrong. I am no fan of Hitler. I certainly have no desire to build a statue for his memory. However, I am no cheerleader of the communists either, as are the dems.

What Every Republican Should Have Learned

President Reagan made the mistake of making the agreement that, if the dems would make laws to stop the inflow of illegal aliens then he would permit up to 20 million amnesty.

He did, they didn’t. It was, as far as I know, the one big mistake he admitted to. Every Republican should have learned the lesson, but sadly few have. We need to broadcast to one and all, “We have learned the lesson.”

It is the simple concept, payment must be made in advance. We need to repeat the phrase until all are tired of hearing it.

Right now, the dems have demonstrated they want an open border. There is no since seeking any agreement until they first close the border. We must insist on the payment in advance or learn the same lesson Reagan did. Those insisting on dealing with the likes of Biden must also insist in him closing the the border before we hold ANY discussions.

We can never win if we keep letting them win every compromise.

Sometimes, I Hate Being Right

The doctor asked me what’s wrong? I have heard of folks who like to dianose their own illness. I know better than that, but still I said, “If I had to self-dianose, I’d say I have a blood clot in my upper leg.

After the test, after the doctor pronounced the results, I told the doctor, “You know, sometomes I hate being right.” He had a small laugh. Then effectively announced I will be paying about $300 a month. That is when I really didn’t like being right.

Then the doctor told me, if I have any symtoms of the clot going to my lungs, immediately call an ambulance.

I am convinced that I can thank J&J for this clot. It has been a couple of years since I took the stab of the needle to prevent the China virus. Still I am convinced it was them…. and the media for not lettin me take meds they knew work and they cared not.

A Free Hint

Five dead from shootings in Memphis over in Memphis, that is if I have heard the news right.

It seems those in authority, stand around pointing fingers and asking, “What should we do?”

Hint: what they are doing hasn’t had a lot of success.

Clue: they might try what has worked for close to a hundred years. You know, putting high priority on God and family. You know, locking up the bad guys. Perhaps, letting the police, police. How novel that would be.

Then again, what is the point. I may as well be talking to a wall.

Well, there is one advantage for those of us south of the state line. The value of my house value keeps skyrocketing. The hitch, occasionally, that crime does make it south. Good thing our officials know how to deal with it.

Perhaps that statement is not fair. I suspect very strongly those north of the state line know very well how to straiten it out quickly. However, knowing and doing is not always the same.
