Thank the Lord for Discipline

Posted in Christian values, News Anchors, News media, Uncategorized by

It is a difficult thing for a child to be thankful when his hand is being slapped but he should be. That slap on the hand is far less harmful and painful than that jolt of electricity from that wall socket.

Okay. I agree. The socket should be covered. Still, a little slap on the wrist is in order when a child starts trying to put his fingers in the socket, covered or not.

To be sure, I believe there is a big difference between discipline and punishment. The object behind punishment is justice; whereas, the object behind discipline is, or at least should be love. We as parents, from time to time, cause a little harmless pain to avoid the larger pain, or perhaps harm. As parents, we need to remember that, regardless of any anger.

When God disciplines us, it is in love and we should remember that. We should always learn from it as well as be reassured. After all, in general, people normally don’t discipline the strange child in love. When God disciplines us, it is a strong indicator that He is our Father and we are His child. It tells us we are saved and we are forever his. No one can ever take us from Him, ever.

Believe me, I have felt the hand of His discipline all too often. I didn’t like it. I am sure, I have asked why me? But He was always right and I was always wrong. And I learned and I continue to learn today, to my dismay.

How-some-ever, let me say this now before the whole world, I am so very grateful to my God that he disciplines me. It is because He loves me and that is very reassuring.

God disciplines nations too. Then, you know that. Repeatedly, he disciplined Judah when they strayed. Then, they repented and God rewarded them. The last time, God disciplined them several times and Judah turned their back on God. They called the chastising a coincidence and continued in their disobedience.

So, God increased the levels. He told them in advance and raised up the nation of Babylon. As predicted, they went into captivity and to this day, they have not returned to their former greatness.

As with Israel, I believe that the US has found favour with God. How else could we get where we are. However, if we keep turning our back to God, I have to believe that the Same thing will happen to us as Judah. If we keep writing off the warnings as coincidence, or weather change! He can raise up a nation and destroy us, as he destroyed Judah. What does makes me wonder, why has He already done it. By the way, He need not raise up another nation. He can use natural disasters, or a few terrorists with a big bomb.

As I write this, I remain in hope while I can’t help but fear. I know what it is like to feel His discipline. I do have something of an idea of what can happen, faster than anyone can imagine.

If you doubt any of this read the books of kings and chronicles in the Bible. The books, true, are religious. However, they are also very accurate history books.

Regardless; with all the blessings we have received as a nation from God, why in the world would anyone want to turn our backs on Him now? Better to receive His blessings than His discipline; or worse, His judgement.

Perhaps the Biggest Losers

Posted in Deceit, News Anchors, News media, Reporters, Truth by

Has anyone noticed. I have. Not so many people listening to the mainstream media these days. It would appear they are losing their credibility. And the thing is, when your job is selling credibility, that’s kind of important.

Thing is, as time goes by, more and more people are going to realize that Orange man is not the monster they painted him to be. They, they their listeners, will lose all the more trust. Then, the more trust they lose, the more listeners they will lose.

Considering the power they seek, YEP, they are about the biggest losers. No newsman wants to become irrelevant. They realize they just might have to go out and find a job where they will actually have to work. Or, even worst, they will have to begin telling the truth. It will take about four times the truth to overcome the lies they have told.

As the Youth Die

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.

The A, B, Cs of Truth

Posted in News Anchors, News media by

A prints the lie. B and C repeat the lie, citing A as the source. Almost a week later, A is forced to retract the lie. They actually do print the retraction, maybe an apology. Guess what, according to B and C, they are standing by what the printed. After all, they were just quoting A, which makes what they printed the truth. And so it is that the lie stands and the truth never gets out.

It’s the way gossip works and it’s the way gossipers spread the lie as truth. It’s sort of the way the dems work and it’s sort of the way the mouth piece for the dems work, you know, that wonderful great paper in NY, NY.

Days of Competition

Posted in Crime, Deceit, Liberals, News Anchors, News media, Politally Correct, Reporters, Truth by

In the not too distant past, newspapers, radio news and TV news all used to compete. Their effort was to bring accurate news faster than anyone else.

Now, not so much. The competition is gone. Now, they cooperate, even to the point they use the same terms, the same phrases and even the same stories. I would have to assume they make sure to cross check their stories to make sure none gets the least out of step with the other.

The really sorry aspect of it all, most of the public is unaware of it. Much of the public doesn’t care. The worst part is that most actually believe it.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent

Not exactly the way it’s supposed to work…most of the time. There is an exception. If I am going to use a self-defense ploy, then I am admitting to the crime. Often times, it is admitting to the killing or assault of someone. I don’t think saying, I didn’t kill anyone. However if I did it was to protect myself.” I don’t think that would work.

My freedom after the trial depends on my proving that my life or another is in danger. For instance, “Sure I shot him. He was pointing a shotgun at me.” In this example, it is sort of obvious. In some cases, it can be a knife, a baseball bat or even a fist. That’s right. If a 250 lb man is about to hit a 100 lb woman, she can be completely justified in putting a couple of bullet holes in the man.

In simple words, we call it self-defense. I would guess most states call it justifiable homicide. Whatever it is called, it is a very important part of the laws, I’d guess in all states. Indeed, I suspect it is a worldwide concept, maybe even in China. Otherwise, all of us would be susceptible to violence on a whim. If I cannot protect myself from the man with a club, I am subject to being killed by any man with a sling and a rock.

Incidentally, anything of the proper size and weight can be used as a club. It need not be, per se, a baseball bat. Even a crutch can be a lethal weapon.

I spent a lot of words telling you what you already know.

Now I will write something you may or may not know. The young man, Rittenhouse was going to speak at University of Memphis. I heard about it on the news.

Apparently, the students did not believe he should have the freedom of speech, so they planned ways of keeping him from speaking. Apparently, they were even willing to buy out all available tickets.

Now, that’s weird. I guess the theory is to keep others from hearing him. Don’t know about Rittenhouse, but I wouldn’t mind giving a speech in an empty theater for a stack of cash.

Second, it’s a display of fear. Indeed they are afraid of what might he might tell the world. Finally, the man, in a court, proved before a jury, his justification in defending himself, in spite of those who were determined to hang him regardless of any and all evidence.

Those students who judged him guilty and wanted to take away his platform weren’t angry at him for killing the men but rather that he, as others, refuse to swallow the garbage that they want us to swallow. I am sure he would find far more friends in the ranks of the student body should he decide to drop his beliefs and pick up the banner of the politically correct.

They Don’t Mean it

It is a blatant lie. They know it and they know we know we don’t believe it. At least twice a day, they still tell the lie on radio in hopes of changing our minds.

The so-called covid 19 inoculations don’t work. I would guess they made an effort at it, but I had it and, since then, I am sure I have had the virus 3 times. I am not alone. Some of those that had the inoculations suffered from the inoculations. Some died from it.

And now, the argument is being made, “let’s knock out covid 19,” as if we can strike it with blow our fist and the dreaded disease will go away. It won’t happen that way. The virus will not go away from the inoculations. However, of course, those who make the inoculations will have a very healthy bottom line.

Meanwhile , the government keeps us from using things that do work.

Now let me see. Do you suppose the government is providing financial aid to those who make that which works not? This, of course while some of us suffer illness, while young people suffer long term heart problems, and some even die…needlessly.

Now That Just Gets My Goat!

Three Memphis news men and a woman were talking about the elections in Mississippi and how we will regret voting for the Republicans, especially Tate Reeves.

Well, maybe those three men and one lady should sit at the state line and watch all the U-Hauls go by. I’ll give them a hint. They ain’t headed north.

If they were to put up a 90 foot fence between Memphis and Mississippi, it’d be to short form me. Moreover, no one should be permitted to move south through the gates unless they produce proof of being a Republican.

I don’t mind them providing entertainment on their big stations, but I would prefer they not try to run our state or our lives from their side of the line. They should deal with their own problems of which they have many. I mean, down here we believe in justice. When we are able to prove someone did something wrong we send them to prison, which is the likely reason the smart criminals have a tendency to stay on the north side of the state line. It is also a likely reason the victims are headed south.

Speaking of victims, maybe City Gear should move to Southaven MS. The stores present in Memphis have been held up, I think 6 or 7 times, twice in one day. It’s not just that; but they also destroy parts of the buildings. Right now I would not want to have a store of any kind in Memphis, or for that matter, any city run by dems. Actually, come to think of it, that’s just about any major city. They all have the dem illness and it shows on just about every night on the news. Since the dems took over Memphis, they have had, it seems at least one murder or attempted murder a day. It’s 2 or 3 a day Saturdays. It seems they have bought the lie that locking up guns solves problems instead of locking up criminals.

I learned better. I don’t go north of that state line anymore. I don’t have to. And I am very grateful Desoto County is not Memphis. I am very grateful that, other than Jackson, most of the state is run by folks who actually know how.

I am thankful for the police, the judges and all the rest that keep me safe at night, well, except for those few dumb criminals that venture down here from Memphis.

So all you Memphis newscasters, just keep your opinions about Mississippi to yourselves. We neither want nor seek your ideas on what to do with the bad guys.

Just had an afterthought. You really look and you will see where those who live in Memphis are going for food, shopping and entertainment; in some cases to live.

It would likely cost a bundle, but I would sure like to see research done on just how many southbound Shelby County cars get off I-55 at the first three off ramps south of the state line after 4 in the afternoon. I would also like to find out how many people in Memphis illegally send their kids to Desoto County schools. If Memphis is so wonderful; if Memphis really has these wonderful leaders, why is there such an influx of people moving from there to here?

If those news folks can’t provide a good reason, let them keep their mouths shut.

Selection by Color

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, FOC, Liberals, News Anchors, News media, Socialists by

Let’s pretend. I really hate this because it is such a horrible subject, but it is the only way I can see of getting the point across.

Let’s pretend your eight-year-old has been discovered to have a brain tumor which must be surgically removed.

So, you are waiting in this nice carpeted room with really comfortable furniture. A woman enters the room and breaks the news to you. Then she says, we have four surgeons here that are qualified. Your surgeon is a good one, he is the forth best. He has a 90% survival rate and currently 75% have had no complications.

You say, “Wait a minute! You said the other surgeons are better!?

“Well. Yes the all are.”

“Well. Why can’t I have the best surgeon?”

“That isn’t allowed.”

“Why?”

“Your surgeon must be black. But there is no reason to be concerned. He really is very good.”

“Why must I have a Black surgeon?”

“It’s our way of making sure that the black surgeon has equal opportunity. The last three surgeries were by white doctors. It is the black surgeon’s opportunity. We don’t want anyone to think we are being prejudice. It would reflect badly on the hospital, the staff and we might even be sued. Do you realize how much it cost for just one week in court?”

Of course, the above is ludicrous. We, all of us, have the right to chose the surgeon we want within our means. Invariably, if we are smart, we will choose the best one, if we are able. In the not too distant past, there were people who refused to let a Black doctor treat us, let alone do critical brain surgery. Still, there are those who hold such thoughts, stupid as the may be.

It was not that long ago that women were not permitted to be doctors. It took years to overcome that problem. And indeed it was a problem and, to some degree still is. Doctors should be selected on their qualifications and how much they charge. It should have nothing to do with the color of their skin or their gender. On the reverse, the the black person should not be selected any more because he is black than to select the white man because he is white. Least wise, that is the way I’m going to do it. If you feel better with the inferior black doctor, that is your choice, just as it is the choice of a person to select the inferior white doctor.

It is equally stupid to chose the Black surgeon just because he is black and has a license to practice as to chose the white doctor just because you don’t like people with black skin. When that eight-year-old little girl of yours in in that O.R. you will want the best surgeon you can get to work on her and I don’t blame you. No one else should blame you regardless of the color of their skin.

It just happens, one of the best brain surgeons to ever live is Black. I would have had no problems him working on my child. No problems at all. But if that black surgeon is just above the level of a quack, I don’t think I’ll let him touch my child and it has not one thing to do with his color. My only concern is his success rate. If anything else, I am somewhat reassured if the man has a good relationship with Jesus.

On the other hand, the dems don’t have that sort of idea. They selected THE One person in this world worse than Old Joe for vice president. They selected a woman who publicly admitted she cannot define a woman for Supreme Court justice. And now, guess what, they have gone in search of another black woman to replace Diane Feinstein.

Guess what. I don’t want those dems selecting my doctor, nor the doctors of my grand-kids. No telling what they would come up with. Unlike justices, doctors must have some knowledge of the between men and women.

A Matter of Litter

Posted in Crime, FOC, Going Green, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, News Anchors, News media by

I noticed the last few days a news story about junk in the Mississippi River. Some group is going around removing it and I certainly commend them for it.

The fact that the junk is there says a thing or two about Americans. When I first stepped out onto Sydney streets during my R&R there, I was amazed. They were clean. The parks were not just just litter free but also well landscaped.

It has been over fifty years since I was there so I don’t know if it’s the same there. However, it somewhat shamed me. Consider what it is like in San Francisco or NY, NY these days.

Most Americans are careful about the way they maintain the appearance of the interior of their car so they toss the paper cups out the window.

I guess, from time to time my car is a little trashy. I hold onto my trash until I can dispose of it properly. On the other hand, I frequently see folks lower the window of their Lincoln Town Car and toss their coffee cups out.

Sometimes, it makes me wish I was carrying a badge. Then as I think it over, I realize it would do little or no good. Nowadays, the police are not permitted to pursue for hijacking. Don’t think I would be permitted for illegally discarding a Starbucks coffee cup.

Looks like we’re doomed to put up with hijackers and litterers… streets and rivers. Also, reminds me of the trash thrown out by the news media.
