The Instant Millionaire

My memory is a little foggy. I tried to use the internet to clear things up but I failed. Sometime in the days of the top 40 being aired on the radio (late 1950s), there was a famous disc jockey. As I say, my memory is foggy, so please forgive me if I’m wrong. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say the man was Jim Hawthorne.

At any rate, whoever he was, came up with the idea and suggested it on the radio. He said, with 35 million in the United States, (or whatever it was back then) if everyone sent me just a quarter, I would be an instant millionaire. (and by the way, back then a million dollars was a fortune)

Well, he wasn’t serious, but many of his listeners took him seriously. Indeed, if I remember right, he did receive close to a quarter of a million dollars, in quarters.

It all sounds nice enough, but he got in some real trouble for that. I don’t know why; however, he was required, as much as possible, to return all the money.

Perhaps it is a law, maybe an FCC regulation. Maybe the radio station didn’t like it. However, that little case of foot in mouth disease cost the man plenty, over nothing more than a few quarters.

Odd. It seems harmless enough. However, I guess if a person is going to ask for money, there is a legal way of doing it. A person can’t just ask for it. I guess if they do, they are asking for it. As for me. I look at this way. It’s just another way to keep me from becoming an instant millionaire.

NOTE: Please do not send me any quarters.

It’s a Never-fit

Did you ever notice Social Security cards are always slightly too large for a wallet? I wonder if that is intentional. Maybe they don’t want us carrying the card with us. On the other hand, it is conceivable that no one ever thought of it.

For that matter, maybe no one gave it any thought at all. You know, for years, after I lost my card, I didn’t have one. I knew my number and never needed the card.

Nowadays, frequently, they ask for license and Social Security card. So I had to get another. I guess when I die, it will have to be buried with me. Better not lose it again. They won’t be able to bury me.

The Dems Say It Will End the World

The dems know better than to promote Old Joe as a candidate. All they want to say is that if Trump wins, it will be the end of the world. You better vote fro Old Joe, or look just who will “rule.”

Okay. Maybe I am exaggerating, a little. Certainly, I am not stretching it much. They claim that he will end democracy. Actually, when you come right down to it, it is exactly what the dems are trying to do. They walk all over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in an attempt to destroy the very document that provides them the freedom to do it.

My guess is, that if the dems win one more presidential election, then the Constitution will be history within a year, though not outwardly. The dems will claim that it is still active, just in a different form. The Bill of Rights will still be present, just with modifications. After all, as they claim, the Constitutions is a living document, which must be altered from time to time for modern times.

Under the new constitution, you will have freedom of religion as long as preachers don’t speak against homosexuality or abortion from the pulpit. You will have the right to speak your mind, as long as you don’t anger the woke folks. You will be able to own and carry a weapon, as long as you never shoot it, even in self-defense. Well, some will be permitted to shoot weapons, as long as they have a D after their name.

You will have the right to remain silent, but if you do, you will be assumed guilty. You will have your right against unlawful seizures, unless you are a Republican trying to win an election against the likes of a Clinton or Joe. In that case, it will be quite easy to get a warrant to tap phones, offices and, yes, even bedrooms. All your papers, computers and cell phones will be subject to being searched and seized.

The FBI will be instructed to release anyone unless he is a member of the opposition. No law enforcement officer will be permitted to pursue any driver, unless he has a second amendment bumper sticker.

Eventually, maybe soon after the election, all radio stations and TV broadcasters that are considered subversive to the “cause” will be forced to cease their broadcasting. People like me, who, in our own little way, try to spread the truth, will be threatened once. Then we will be tossed in prison, for whatever reason they want to invent. If we anger them enough, we will be taken out and shot, by folks who are dead set against the death penalty.

Then, of course, there will soon be no republic, no democracy, no freedom. The history of this country will fade away and the communist will see to it that everyone forgets it.

THEN WHERE WILL FOLKS GO TO BE FREE?

It won’t be the end of the world. However, for many of us who fought for freedom, it may as well be.

Bowing Out

Might be wrong but I don’t think so. I figure in just a matter of days, Old Joe is going to develop a problem, one that will keep him from running. It clearly appears to me that even the dems are starting to realize he’s not going to make it through election. He might not even make it to the election.

It does bring to mind a number of things that the dems would not like to see. One of many things could occur that just might spell disaster to the power structure.

First, President Trump just might beat all the accusations. As I mentioned before, the dems would have some explaining to do.

Second, Hunter just might get locked up. That would mean he will start singing like a canary. Not only would Joe go to prison but the entire family.

Third, a financial problem. This would be either a recession or another shot of inflation. This could be triggered by bank problems or maybe a big industry like the auto manufacturing. If the cars cost too much, people won’t buy them, not from Detroit anyway.

Forth, a tragic event caused by some terrorist(s) being allowed over the border. It could be multi-city.

Fifth, too many illegal immigrants in too many dem run cities. Already, NY, NY is on the brink of failure according to the mayor himself and people have already begun leaving. Those U-Hauls going in are empty. It’s the one leaving that are packed.

Finally, the folks just might get tired of an open border and lack of law enforcement.

It is not my desire that any of this should happen but I can read t-leaves. The worst part is that it will likely happen fast. It might also trigger other things. Putting that puppet known as Old Joe in front of the cameras to try to settle things won’t work. It will just make matters worse.

It is easy to see, there is already some panic showing in the dem leadership. If something breaks, no one will want to have nothing to do with anything.

Even if there are no problems, it is easy to see there are already problems and the dems are already seeking plans and methods.

In the Air We Breathe

News flash- University of Washington have found traces of drugs in the Washington & Oregon transit systems air and surfaces. If there, then where else?

I guess this means that if the degeration continues, we might need to go back to wearing masks again whenever we go out in public. Even more we also need to wear gloves and carefully discard both after they are removed. It will likely be good to change clothing. Thar stuff can be absorbed through skin.

Keeping that Mexican border open is and was a bad idea. Now, even more important, we need to send good strong signals to China and the cartels. If we don’t, we might need to wear space suits every time we leave our homes.

The worst part is that the party in power does not care one iota. Ask them about the drug problem and all you’ll hear is crickets, that is, unless the insects start getting high too.

Success

I have had no formal training as an evangelist. If I were fortunate enough to address an audience of a hundred and 3 of them made decisions to accept Jesus as their savior, I would consider it a success. If it were 5, I would be ecstatic.

I guess most preachers would hope for something greater than that; maybe 10 or 12. I mean, when the plan of salvation is presented, it is usually rejected. I really don’t have the foggiest idea why. It is really a good thing to accept Jesus as your savior. Yet, many reject him. I suspect, mostly the things of this world are more important to them than their eternal souls.

Well, some have better success than others. Billy Graham certainly had his success. He had a mostly simple straightforward way to present the plan of salvation and certainly God did his part. Paul, the one who wrote much of the New Testament presented the gospel to his thousands, and in a way, he is still helping to persuade people to accept the Lord today through the printed word.

A person might ask, who could possibly be more successful than that? Yet there is one, percentage-wise, who has us all beat. Moreover, he had a very simple sermon. “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” Simple and straightforward as it was, it apparently had 100% effectiveness. Everyone who heard the words repented and worshiped God.

Wow! I wish I could have that kind of success. However, there were two more things that made the conversion different. First, Jonah did just about all he could to keep it all from happening. He hated the people of Nineveh and he did not want to see them saved. In other words, perhaps the most successful preacher in history wanted to be an outright failure. Secondly, when the people repented God relented and did not destroy the city. Now that angered Jonah and he pitched a fit. (my interpretation)

In essence, it appeared God used Jonah’s rebellion for success. After all, it was very likely that the people of that great city knew of Jonah and what all he went through to keep from going to the city. When they saw Jonah arrive, when they all saw the sad expression on Jonah’s face, the people likely decided that God did really did mean it and that if they didn’t repent something bad was going to happen.

Now, that was success. Oddly, it was his determination to fail that made it succeed. It does make me wonder. What would have happened if Jonah would have done as he was told immediately. Maybe his success would have been 80% or 70%. I don’t know. It’s a guess and likely not a good one. Maybe, had Jonah done as he was told, no one would have listened and the city would have been destroyed, which was the very thing Jonah wanted.

At any rate, the people of that great city backslid and went back to their previous ways. Then, God did as he said he would. The city was destroyed so badly that some doubted the story of Jonah. No one could find the city. Then, one day they did. They not only found proof of its existence but also of its destruction. I have no idea if Jonah lived to see it or not. At any rate, those people did have their second chance and they ignored it.

I just wonder, how much is God going take from the US before he destroys this great country? At this point, I’m not sure we are not that much better than Nineveh. How long will God allow us to ignore his messengers and destroy the US?

Just as He destroyed that great city, He can also destroy this great nation. He needs no one’s permission and He need not send any warnings. We have the examples of the Bible. If we ignore them, then we will likely ignore any other warnings.

Certainly, one of those things that He will not overlook is the killing of babies. Children are very special to Him. Calling it family planning does not make it look one iota better to Him

Reference, My post “What’s in a Name” this date

In my previous post, I said I could not find the quote. Well I did. It was on CNN by Dana Bash. Others might have said it too, but, according to Fox News and the Internet, she did make the statement though I did not get it exact.

What she said was “Taking politics aside, if you change the name from Hunter Biden to Joe Smith, you would say, ‘You know what, that’s not fair.'”

Truth is if his name was Joe Smith, all those from other countries would not have given him 20 million. Fact is, it was because his name was Hunter Biden that he got all the money. It was because he relied on the name while he made the deals. If his name had been Joe Smith, he would not have been able to make two cents.

That is why it is a bribe. That is why it is and should be illegal. That is why both he and his father ought to take up residency in a federal pen. However, it is because of reporters like Dana Bash that they likely won’t. That’s okay. They won’t get away with it. Whatever they don’t pay for in this life, they will suffer for in the next. By the way, that goes for the Dana Bashes (reporters) of the country. They will pay for their part too. They know that they are all part of the aiding and abetting squad. They all know that they have all taken their part in false witnessing.

Hen Houses and Foxes

There is an adage, “Like the fox watching the hen house.” I should not have to explain it but I will. There is an element of society that just might not remember it. They just might not know what it means. In the old days, on the old farms, the farmers used to have problems with foxes getting into hen houses and killing the hens. Hence, it would be considered a bad practice to put foxes in the hen houses to protect the hens.

Now why should I bring this up. Well our neighborhood dems have done it. That’s right. They have just put the fox in charge of protecting the chickens. Can’t figure out why.

Well to be honest, it is not quite a match as a metaphor. It is somewhat opposite even. Weiss was just appointed special prosecutor. Now that’s dumb. They just appointed the prosecutor that was willing to give Hunter Biden the sweetheart deal. Does anyone really think that Weiss will raise his little finger in an effort to convict Hunter. Certainly, he will very carefully avoid any possibility of dragging the liar in chief into the investigation.

Besides, we all know the outcome from the beginning. Hunter has his father father by the short hairs of his neck. No one has said as much. I have absolutely no proof, but I suspect that Hunter somehow told dear old pops that if he spends one day behind bars then so will Pops. Hence, Old Joe will make sure Hunter, his beloved son will not spend one day in prison.

Hence, my guess is that Weiss and his crew will spend the next 5 to 7 months partying on the funds allotted to him. Then, Weiss will come out to the podium and announce that Hunter was addicted to drugs but has done nothing worthy of being prosecuted. By then, the nation will be buried in a campaign and no one will care about the likes of Hunter.

Then again, Weiss just might surprise us all. He might actually do the job that he was appointed to. He just might prove Hunter guilty and he might even implicate Old Joe. In an effort to save his career, he just might lose it. He just might end up penniless where all the bums hang out. He will be able to brag he took down a big criminal in court and for that, he has been relinquished from the courts of royalty.

Somehow, I don’t think Joe is worried about that. My guess is that Weiss knows his place and what is expected of him. Old Joe and his family have nothing to fear. The fox is in the hen house and he will see to that no harm comes to the chickens or Old Joe.

Now why did I use that metaphor? It just doesn’t work. Still you get the idea.

It is not Just Trump

Some would have us believe that we need to put former President Trump in prison should he be convicted. I say it has long lasting effects, which we should be extremely careful.

First, the NY, NY trial is in a very democratic area. It amounts to a kangaroo court. It is why they want to try him there. It is why they want to try him in Washington DC. It determines the outcome before the end regardless of the evidence. So much for a trial of our peers.

Secondly, it’s not just Trump on trial but the entire Republican party. If he is convicted and sent to prison, it sends a signal to all republicans. I might explain what the message is but I don’t think it would serve any purpose. We all know what that message would be.

It would turn the US into a one party country and a third world country. No one would dare run against the dems as they would know that there was a good possibility of being tossed into prison. It would spell the end of the Republican party and the republic of the United States.

But, it is so much more than that. Just as friends of Bill managed to avoid prison, friends of Trump would be in fear of going to prison. Already, many of his associates have been convicted, though they did nothing wrong.

It’s time to put a stop to it right now. Indeed, it is time to put the real criminals in prison. You and I know that won’t happen. Even if Trump gets back in office, the crime families have gained too much power.

Now, one thing Trump, or any new republican president should do on day one, is to require the resignation of all top leadership: every person on the top floor of the FBI building, every officer in the military with more than one star, and all appointed positions in the justice department. He also needs to do a good cleaning of all the intelligence agencies, especially the CIA. I’m sure it will leave much of DC without leadership, but that will be far better than what they have now. More important, it will send a signal to all those agencies that no one is unreplaceable. It would also send a signal to the dems that they will have to start all over again in their efforts to take over the world.

Which is Worst?

Which one is worst? Is it the one who offers the bribe in hopes of getting his way, regardless of what is right?

Is it the one who receives the bribe, knowing that he is going to treat a person or person wrong as a result?

Maybe the worst of all is the one who stands by and observes the bribe and says nothing. Maybe he says nothing out of fear. Perhaps he keeps quiet and benefits from the bribe. I don’t know. There might be dozens of reasons for blinding himself to that which he knows to be wrong.

When I was a young man, still in high school, I was taught about the third world countries where bribery was a way of life. The officer, expected and received the little payment to turn his head. The government official knew he would receive the bribe to allow the immigrant into the country. The teacher explained that, of course those things did not go in this country.

Now, 50 or 60 years later…

As I surveyed the recent history, I came to the conclusion that it is what happens in countries that turn their backs on God. You might ask if I consider it a judgement. To be sure, it would be a righteous judgement. But it is entirely unnecessary. It is simply a natural result. When people turn their backs on God, they do things that result in calamity.

They might call it lobbying, or donations for campaigning. It all has the same result. In but a short while, unless we allow God back in our lives, back in our schools and back in our government, the US will be a used to be. We will join the ranks of third world countries. People will be going south over the Mexican border, not north. No one will want to live in a land that is ruled by the few, the rich, the powerful.

And, invariably, the few, the rich and the powerful will not let go of their hold on this nation.

So. What is your thought? Are you one who bribes? Are you one who accepts the bribes. Or are you one who simply looks away when you see a bribe. Hopefully, you are none of those. Yet, millions of people stood by and watched Biden offer a billion-dollar bribe and still voted for him. Millions stood by and watched what the dems did to our voting system. And still they voted for them.

It looks like they approved of the bribes to me. So don’t be surprised when they count the US as a third world country. Don’t be surprised when money by the wheelbarrow will not buy a loaf of bread.

Don’t be surprised when God turns his back on us as this nation has turned its back on Him.

In the past, the US was an example of a Godly nation. Nowadays. Not so much.
