Eating Out of the Palm of His Hand

It is an old saying. I am sure most don’t really understand the meaning. It is easy to get a wild animal to eat that which is left on the ground. They catch on very fast. On the other hand, it will take time and patience to teach an animal to eat out of the palm of your hand. I know. I’ve tried it. Dogs, cats, squirrels take time to train to eat out your palm. I suppose you could even train bears but I don’t think I want to go there.

It’s kind of like that with humans too. Actually, I believe that was where it originated. The wild independent soul is quickly tamed when fed by hand. And of course, he is tamed when he looks for the handout. Then, the final step, the government has completely tamed the people when we all expect the handouts from Uncle Sam, especially when we eat right out of the palm of his hand.

The question you ask folks, is that what they want, and they hesitate not, to be dependent on the government dole? They will generally reply yes. It sure beats working.

If They Would Just….

Most of us just want to do our work each day and hope the rest of the world would just leave us alone.

When I say the rest of the world, what do I mean? Well, there are the thieves. Their attitude is that whatever they can take will be theirs. I mean, they steal from the stores. They steal from the banks and they steal our cars. Through what some call it white collar crime, they steal our identity and they steal our property. Moreover, on the large scale, they steal our country. This is generally little by little and bit by bit. Even the slow train gets there eventually as the slow thief eventually takes what is ours, even to and including our freedom.

The problem is that they just won’t leave us alone. We bar our doors. We arm ourselves and we put bars on our windows. Yet, the stealing persist. The bars and windows only work for a while but the thieves persist. We have police and court systems but they can only do so much. From what I understand there are people that steal homes, somewhat with the blessing of our systems.

There are, of course the killers. Some use guns. Some use dope. Some even use automobiles. The truth is that a knife can kill someone just as dead as a gun and it is not nearly as easy to trace. For that matter, a rock will work and has been used many times in the commission of a murder.

That’s right. Those thieves and killers are after us and they just won’t leave us alone. But it is more than that. The casinos are after our money and many politicians seek our freedom. My question is what do they offer in return. The casinos say they are fun. They are for enjoyment. Seems strange to me. I never did like giving away my hard earned money. The politicians offer equality and safety. They tell us that we can’t take care of ourselves so they will.

That is an old ploy. It is what the surf policy of the dark ages promised. You pay homage to the royalty and the royalty will keep the nearby city state from taking over. If they take over, then you will owe homage to the other royalty. In a way, it seems odd. Does it really matter if we have to pay our taxes to the present king or the one that takes over.

At any rate, that went on for a while. Then the city states started grouping together. It was still the surf system but larger. London became Britain. Paris became France. Other little city states were swallowed up. Some kingdoms became history, but not much. Today, most folks don’t know most of the kingdoms that were gobbled up. There was a little war here. There was a little war there. Before you know it, there is no longer a country of Wales. Normandy is suddenly just an area of France and Alsace Loraine becomes a little piece of land for two countries to fight over.

Meanwhile, the citizens of the world keep calling out, “If they would just leave me alone!”

Why is all this you ask? To be sure there are three reasons. It started after the flood with a man called Nimrod. He was a man who set himself against God by his disobedience. His desire was to keep the world population together while God told them to spread out. In essence, Nimrod was the first one who wanted world control.

God stopped the effort by giving them different languages, which accomplished his command for them to spread out. Ever since, there have been those who wanted to rule the world and some had some success. The Pharaoh, the king of Babylon, of Persia, of Greece, and so on and so on, etc, etc.

My guess is that I don’t know all those who had set their goal to control the ancient world. I mean, there were men in Asia, Africa, and northern Europe as well as those we study in and around central Asia. It was and is a goal of Satan. If one man controls the world, then he can control the world by controlling the one man.

Certainly there are those who just like to control things. You put ten men in a room and one of them will want to control the other nine. Most of the rest will be followers. I don’t know why this is but it is. Hence, the knights, the kings, the emperors all sought ultimate control. Rarely, occasionally, they had good reasons. After all, one man united Europe just it time to keep them from being overrun by the Moors, who came up through Spain with the intention of ruling Europe.

Then, you have those who want to rule the world by religion. I don’t mean Christianity, I mean religion. In essence the largest of all empires was that of the Roman Catholic Church. Though it passed itself off as a religion, it was nothing more than another method of world domination. Those who spoke contrary to it were in danger of losing their life. That is not Christianity. That is another form of controlling, no better than any other at the time.

So, when a person seeks to be left alone by those who would like to control him, most likely he will include the Catholic Church as well as those who fought wars to further their empires. (Wait a minute. The Catholics did fight wars to further their influence. The pope, himself took up his armor and sword in his battles. I really don’t think Peter would have done that.)

Ain’t Such a Bad Idea

More than once I’ve heard it said that Trump is running for president to stay out of prison. If he don’t belong there, sound’s like it t’ain’t such a bad idea. It sounds pretty sound to me. If it works he can start putting some of the dems where they belong. He just might start by firing the better part of the Justice Department leadership. Also he can fix our borders and keep the drugs and cartels out. He can start driving the price of oil down, as it should be, which will stop the war in Ukraine instantly. If Putin has no money, he can’t fight his war. It might even encourage the Ruskies to find another leader.

Yeah. If that is President Trump’s strategy, I can live with that. Maybe a few more will live with it too. Not so much dying. Clearly, the dems don’t mind a few hundred thousand dying. It does not seem to have bothered Old Joe any at all. Haven’t heard him say two words about it. Haven’t heard the dems say anything about it. All they care about is stopping Trump, no matter what it takes.

Decisions, Decisions

I saw something on TV, or was it something I heard on the radio. At the time, I didn’t think a lot about it but the more I think about it the more I realize both the wisdom and importance. The man said that when his children reached 12, he insisted on explaining something to them.

Up to this point, decisions generally have little if any effect on later life. Kids make decisions every day that will quickly be forgotten. Once a person reaches 12, decisions start taking on a more permanent nature.

That was as far as he went. He said no more about it over the air. More and more, I realize the truth in what he said. I wish someone had told me about it, though I was somewhat getting the idea on my own. Even so, as a young man, I did things and said things I wish I hadn’t. I wish I had told my kids, though mostly they turned out good in spite of my shortcomings. There is one thing I would suggest different than the above though. Nowadays, parents need to have the talk with their kids when they are 10, and again at 14, and then at 18.

It is a different world we are in today. What we do and say can follow us even from the preteen years well into adulthood. This is true about what is done and what is perceived to have been done. This is even more true for those that may go into public life. However, it would seem that nowadays, applications for employment have become far more probing.

Just think, if you plan on being a Supreme Court justice someday, that little thing you did at eleven just might make it to the news and you could lose that appointment. If you want to become president, that little fling with that prostitute could cost you the election. To make matters worse, It can cost you the election even if the fling never took place.

The dems are not above making huge money offers to people to give false witness just to destroy their appointment. So a person, when he makes decisions much consider, not only what he does, but he must also be able to defend himself should someone suggest he did do something he didn’t.

It’s not just the dems that like the idea. Satan just loves it when a famous upstanding preacher is accused of something horrible, especially when he’s not guilty. Indeed, he is quick to originate the thought of such false witness. Moreover, he is especially happy should a good pastor stumble. For them, all it takes is once.

And so it is, as we go through life, we must be very careful. When we make decisions, we need not only need to think about whether it good or bad, but also if it might look bad. In essence, we must go through life realizing that at any time, we might be attacked by Satan, himself, of any one of his thousands of willing minions who call themselves democrats, or in some cases, the church gossips.

As a point of fact, after years of the attacks waged on trump, before, during and after he held office, no one proved he did one thing wrong. However, they did manage to disparage him, based on his former life style. I guarantee, none of this would have come about had Trump went along to get along with the dems. It is how the dems maintain control, the threat of attack can have a big affect. In fact, Trump likely would still be in office, no charges of any type would have been made if he only made the bad decisions.

One more thing about decisions. If you do make the right ones, be ready to face those ready to attack you. Be ready to face the accusations. They will most certainly follow. The dems don’t like it when someone gets in the way of their plans. That’s also true of Satan.

How Many Quarts in a Gallon?

Most folks will say four. For most of my life, that is what I’d say. However, we are in a new world. In this world, the women might be men and the men might be women. This is especially true for some men. That is to say, some men are women so they can compete with weaker women. Then too, there are the men who are conveniently women so they can shower with the women in the ladies locker room. And by the way, you better not say it’s a lye of convenience. You will have your hand slapped by the political correct police. On the other hand, you could be punished far worse. Indeed, some have been.

So, I figure that some just might start tinkering with our system of weights and measures. Wait a minute. They already are. They want us to buy gas by the liter and food by the kilogram. In a while, we will have speed limits by the kilometer and who knows what the measure will be for a cup of coffee.

They will do it under the name of making everything easier. Already, I find it more complex. I have to keep two sets tools. My car engines were measured by cubic inch and horsepower. Now they are measured by liter and dins. Sorry folks. I still can’t get my mind wrapped around that centigrade thing. The only thing I know for sure is that if it is 0 degrees centigrade, it’s cold. If one hundred, it’s hot.

In the past, I watched weather reports in Japan. Didn’t get much from it other than if it was going to rain or snow. All their temps were in centigrade. Every time they said a temp, I had to try to convert it in my head.

Now let me see. Every degree centigrade is 9/5 s of a degree Fahrenheit. Now, convert 21 to Fahrenheit in your head in less than 30 seconds. Fact is, until the conversion is done, it doesn’t mean much to me. And, by the way, Fahrenheit is almost twice as accurate as centigrade. Did anyone ever tell you that.

So. I figure it is only a matter of time they will start messing with the English measurements. I guess they will start telling us that a gallon is really three quarts or will it be liters? Of course they will. Those selling gasoline or milk will likely get behind it.

Don’t doubt them. They will do it. They did sell the idea that a man was really a woman. Which is easier? Which is more believable? It is a new world you know. Down is up and up is down. Good is evil and evil is good. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll not dispute it.

Old Joe Said He’d not Pardon his Son

I have a theory I have espoused a few times. I highly suspect that Hunter has said, “Pops, If I go to prison, then you do too.” Hunter might not have a brain that goes to the top floor but I’d guess he is wise enough that if anything happens to him, certain info will come out. I suspect it would spell the downfall, not of of Old Joe, but many of those in his friends and puppeteers as well.

I suspect the instant some one hints that Hunter will serve a day in jail, we will find out what it is that Hunter knows. I am sure Old Joe’s friends know that as well. Even if Old Joe doesn’t pardon his son, Joe’s friends will keep him from ever spending a day in the slammer. (and Old Joe does have his friends in high places)

For those who are unaware, it is called self-preservation and the dems practice it every minute of every day.

Controllers

I don’t exactly know why it is but there is always an element of society that likes to be in control. Throughout history, we have had our pharaohs, kings, tzars, emperors, casers and on and on. Invariably, they have two things in common. They say they have the good of the people in mind and they always have huge egos. In some cases, they proclaim themselves to be gods and frequently do all they can to live eternally. (Not with much success)

Well, actually, they have two more things in common. They love to have absolute control over the entirety of their realm, and they want their realm to include the entirety of world.

Hitler and Mussolini had dreams of world dominance. Naturally, had we lost the war, the three empires would eventually have to fight it out to determine if we all would speak German, Italian or Japanese. As controllers, they would have never been willing to share.

It seems as one controller goes down to defeat another stands ready willing and able to take over. Here lately, they’ve been coming at us in bunches. Even before Hitler, Stalin was ready to take his position in history. We finally deal with Hitler and Mao shows up on the world stage.

Then, there are the dozen, or so mini dictators who kept popping up. They showed up in Central and South America. They tried to seize control of Africa. Then, while we drive one dictator out of Cuba, we find out we just installed another. I’m sure the Cuban’s appreciated that. Of course, Castro said it was for the good of Cuban people. I think that was a lie and I suspect there are few Cubans that would agree.

Now, we have Putin, the man that snatched monarchy out of the immature democracy that preceeded him. At least the man is honest. He’s not doing it under the premise of creating a utopian society where all are equal. (You notice, always these utopias always have people who are more equal than others.)

All the folks like me just want to live out our lives in peace. The problem is that every time we turn around someone else comes along and starts a war with us, of course, promising peace and equality.

The Bible tells us that there will be a man who will be successful in taking total control of the world. He will promise peace and prosperity. For a while, there will be peace but not for long. The man will bring war, hunger and a horrible economy. The average family will not be able to purchase a loaf of bread. There will be disease and I would suspect riots. Not many will sit by under these conditions and do nothing.

For seven years the man will be the ultimate controller. At the end of the seven years God will put an end to it. He will put Satan and the man away for a thousand years. During that time, Christ will rule this world. The controllers popping up and taking control will cease. Jesus will see to it.

For sure, you do not want to be around to see those seven years. They will be the worst seven years on this planet.

There is a way to avoid it. Accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Before this all happens, Jesus will take those who are saved out of this world. We who are born into the Kingdom of God will be with Jesus through the whole thing. The suffering will only be for those who refuse to accept Jesus as their savior.

Maybe, possibly sounds like a good idea to accept Jesus as your savior, the earlier the better.

As for those controllers. They will get everything they have coming to them, including the devil. You certainly don’t want to be counted among them.

The Object of Their Love

The following numbers I took off the internet. I simply queried the wealths and wrote them down. However, I would suspect that the numbers are at least close to accurate.

The Clintons have about 120 million. I suspect that of being a little low. To the best of my knowledge, they had very little employment outside of working for Uncle Sam. To be sure, she made some money in law. He made some as a speaker. They both made a ton or two off their so-called charity. It has become obvious that they both used the charity as a slush fund.

Obama and his wife have about 70 million. Not bad for being a community organizer. Me thinks he found another source somewhere. Regardless, he hasn’t done too bad for himself. I suspect he doesn’t do so much community organizing these days, but he sure messed up our medical system. He said he would save us money. Quite the opposite. Of course, all his doctor bills are paid for, he’s very much welcome.

Biden as VP was worth about 8 million. He was sort of slumming it compared to his compadres. However, it’s not bad considering he did it on senator’s pay. Don’t really know what he has now. Some reports say 9 million. Others say 158 million. If you’re curious, you are welcome to try and get something more accurate. Considering what he owns in real estate alone, I’d guess he has to have 30 or 40 million. It takes a lot to keep those homes in good shape, not to mention the cost utilities and gardening.

Then, of course there’s Hunter. While he is not a government employee, his father is. I would suspect his millions and his father’s millions are likely a little entangled. It just might be difficult to determine what belongs to the one and what belongs to the other. It does make his worth at 230 million a little suspicious.

Now. Is the above accurate? I don’t know. As they say, you can’t always believe what you see on the internet. However, I do believe one thing. They all seem to have a lot of love of money.

Now, let’s see. What is it that the Bible has to say about the love of money?

1 Tim. 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil. (king James)

As an aside, I’d like to repeat a quote from a post I made 3 or 4 years ago. I can’t quote it exactly, but you’ll get the point. No matter how good a government is, it won’t work if evil men are running it. Dr. J. Vernon McGee said that. And may I add, those running this government are just about as evil as you can get. They are right on the brink of destroying the government, the Constitution and the nation… I think intentionally and for their benefit. They do seem to have a real love of money… and they hunger for power.

Thanks Shelby County

They just approved a 50 dollar wheel tax. That will encourage a few to move south, or north, or west. Of course, it won’t make my property value to increase but a penny or two, but every bit helps. Besides, it’s really long term anyway. We all know that the fifty will always increase, never decrease. Who knows what it will be in a few years.

When a person looks at that long term, they just might decide DeSoto County might be better than Shelby County to call home.

Well, there is always that traffic problem but that will be here anyway. The folks from Memphis are flocking to the better safer and more convenient DeSoto eating places. I know. I can tell. On any given Sunday, Southaven’s Golden Corral parking lot is about half full with Shelby County car tags.

It’s okay. Y’ll just keep coming. We appreciate the business and the tax revenues. My guess is that over a year, Mississippi will make gain more off the extra sales tax revenues than Shelby County will gain on their wheel tax. Oh. And by the way, we appreciate the government up north encouraging the migration south.

Believable? Really?

Rarely does a situation come up where you just know the federal government is lying. One such situation was the report on the Kennedy assassination. I don’t have any idea how many believe that one, but it can’t be many. Too many holes in it. Actually, too many obvious holes in it. Too much secrecy. To many efforts to cover things up.

However, I’d like to call a new one to your attention today, the so-called suicide of the former monster we knew as Jeffrey Epstein. Oddly they are trying to say he committed suicide.

Actually, in a roundabout way, I do believe them. I don’t know about you, but I have seen more than one movie where the disgraced man is handed a gun. Then, of course, he is expected to us it…on himself.

I guess such things happened. I don’t know for sure. Likely there were a few German generals that were treated like that. The implication of course, “Avoid the disgrace. Kill yourself and permit your family to live on without the dishonor.”

You might ask, would I suggest that a monster like Epstein commit suicide? Probably not. I really don’t think the man had honor. On the other hand, he did have friends and relatives. Just how important to they were to him, I don’t know. In killing himself, he just might have proved he did care about them.

I mean, it would have been very easy for one of the guards to deliver him a message. Then of course, they would all leave him alone long enough for the threat to work.

With all the famous rich people who have so much at stake, it is easy for me to believe that the threat was made. It is far easier to believe that than the far out story some government officials thought up.

The thing is, it matters not. Just as with Kennedy, they don’t really expect us to believe it. With all that is at stake, no one will ever disprove it. Those that have the courage lack the means. Those who have the means, lack the courage. We don’t really have to swallow the story, just pretend we do.

And so it is, one of the most unbelievable stories in history will stand for the duration. All those involved with the monster, those that took the trip out to his little island can rest easy. No one will ever disclose their secrets. (May I remind a few of you? Pres. Clinton was one of those who took his plane out to the island a time or three. I guess he managed to slip through another one, though it cost the life of his fiend of a friend.)
