It’s amusing that people are so adamant about what they believe and support, and yet for the most part, are merely mimicking the talking heads that they’ve decided are telling them the truth. The unique and wonderful thing about America is that for a season we could disagree with the talking heads without losing our own heads.

It’s bewildering to witness how we, a people with unlimited access to history, have forgotten the past. America was a new concept; men could be free to govern themselves and benefit or suffer from their own actions. Property was personal in America’s infancy and everything you produced was yours and not, through taxation, the property of the state. Today we have no control over banking, property, or personal rights.

We, along with everything we “own”, are the property of the state. The IRS was created to finance World War One. Created crisis, whether war, climate change, pandemic, or otherwise, is the cornerstone of the Almighty State’s reason for usurping our personal founder-given rights. There’s always a good reason for more taxes.

We Americans have set ourselves free of the past, rewritten history as needed, and pursued the passionate path our politicians have set for us. We’ve sent our children to colleges brimming with Marxist professors who relish their opportunity to teach our youth to unwittingly ready themselves for the final Bolshevik Revolution.

Self-righteousness is the overriding underpinning of this cult-like support for the religion of Communism. We elected a “community organizer” to be our president for eight years. His stated goal was to fundamentally change America, or in other words, make it like the rest of the world where personal rights are given by the whims of the state. He has been successful.

It should seem obvious that a community organizer has the sole purpose of pitting one part of the population against the other. Hence, as bad a curse as slavery was, racism is now the sermon preached from Mount Washington D.C. Slavery had been a normal part of society for thousands of years. It was defeated by Western thought expressed in the Constitution of the United States. British common law and the fruitful planting of Christianity broke the back of the age-old custom of slavery.

Wrestling slaves away from their final owners was contentious and brutal. But let’s be clear; it was white men who put an end to this outdated way of surviving. Our young are taught to learn history and revisit the shortcomings of great men of the past and disparage their achievements, one of which was setting men free of the state. Were the men of the past sinners? Their struggles were the same as ours. The problem lies in the reality of our collective pride. We believe we are without sin and therefore have the right to cast the first stone. We now witness the Bolsheviks assaulting every good thing with a barrage of stones.

Like the Leninists of a hundred years ago, these ungrateful “intellectual” citizens of hell, are wildly flailing their stones and in true Bolshevik fashion hasten the demise of the free man. It’s noteworthy that our political elite attribute the crimes of Communism to Vladimir Putin, a boogieman, an evil who must be defeated. Having an archenemy is a prerequisite to war. The relentless hateful rhetoric from our leaders and the lapdog media have convinced us that it’s in our best interest to pursue a nuclear conclusion to the current conflict.

So, we’re supposed to believe that combatting Putin is a necessary action whilst at the same time funding Marxist teaching kindergarten through higher education.

Putin at one time wanted to join NATO, in other words, join Europe. Nope, archenemies aren’t allowed to change. It’s doubtful that many have listened to what Putin has said in the past. He, as to be expected, wanted Russia to be a major influence in Europe. Somehow we Westerners have forgotten the German atrocities and allowed Germany to be the leading power in Europe. Could it be that the thirty-five thousand troops we have in Germany eighty years after the war play a role in our powerplay over Europe’s economy? Through NATO we’ve guaranteed our power is omnipotent in Europe. Allowing Russia to partake in European affairs as a full partner would diminish our hegemonic power.

I could drone on about the ravages on our sensibilities that the power-seekers in Washington D.C. are perpetrating on the American people, but then I realize that the fewer words written or spoken make for better communication.

Talk too much, and at some point, a stone will come your way. That’s OK. For evil not to prevail, the truth must be preached loudly from every corner, taught to our children, as we acknowledge the Creator who showed us the way. Take the abuse of stones today because we know the proclivity of tyrants, once power is seized, is to eliminate all dissent with bigger stones.

Jesus told us that Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights (Matthew 3:20) This dispels the idea that the story of Jonah is a parable or an allegory except to those who deny the resurrection of Christ. But to us who need a savior, a buffer to the one true God, Jonah’s story is the plain simple truth.

The Ninevites worshiped Ishtar and Dagan the “fish” god. I think it’s interesting that God got the people’s attention by having a great fish spew Jonah onto the beach. Spectacularly Jonah was suddenly someone to be reckoned with. Surely he was sent from one of their gods; there was no previous time that a god had spoken. So listen up Nineveh.

What is especially interesting to me is that Jonah went down into the sides of the ship during a terrifying storm and went fast asleep. This is exactly what Christ did when the storm was about to destroy his disciple’s boat. Apparently, Jonah knew what Christ knew; it was God who controlled the storm. The disciples knew of the power of God. They read the Torah over and over again. But the Jews suffered from the same thing followers of Christ suffer from today, unbelief.

Jonah knew God, what God was like, and not just God’s control of creation. But God was kind, compassionate, and not willing that any should perish. God is so unlike us, even those who prophesy.

Like Jonah, concerned about the well-being of the gourd, we fret over the most minor of things, the bad drivers on the road, impatient with the inconvenient simpletons who just aren’t as smart as we are, and look with disgust at those who struggle with sin.

I haven’t forgotten I was a wretched sinner and except for the grace of God, I would still be in bondage to this world and its empty future.

There are eight billion people on this planet, eight billion who need to meet their needs at the foot of the cross. They just need someone who will empty themselves of self and focus on eternity. I pray that would be me.

Boston’s Suburban Homes Transform Into Havens For Migrants, A Democratic Vision Of ‘Shared Responsibility’.

That’s the headline; now just imagine the few short years (or months) it will take to codify migrant property rights to your home. Presently our ‘better’ members of the proletariat are exampling for us our responsibility to house migrant ‘guests’ in our homes. Once the regime takes full control, mandatory rules will be implemented requiring homeowners to accept ‘guests’ in their homes to combat the epidemic of homelessness the government has created.

Amid Growing Concerns Of Illegal Immigration; Noncitizen Appointed To San Francisco Elections Commission

The San Francisco Elections Commission, responsible for overseeing the city’s Department of Elections, recently got a new member who is also a noncitizen immigrant! Kelly Wong, an immigrant from Hong Kong, was the first noncitizen to be appointed to such a role. She aims to address the challenges faced by immigrants in fully exercising their voting rights, especially those who have limited proficiency in English.

That’s headline number two, and that’s just today. I don’t know when the citizenry of this country will wake up and understand they are being replaced. Most migrants come from countries with tyrannical regimes and hence will make much better constituents for the coming dictator. We who oppose this dictatorship are in the process of dying off and are being replaced with migrants who haven’t had freedom and youth have been indoctrinated to hate freedom.

Those of us who attempt to not comply will be prosecuted in federal court (98% conviction rate), jailed and possibly executed as dictatorships don’t become benevolent once they seize control.

I don’t know what it will be, but some crisis, false flag, or black swan event is surely on the way and soon. The Democratic Party has no intention of relinquishing power now that they have corrupted every institution. By controlling our justice system, banking, power grid, healthcare and basically everything else, resisting will be all but impossible.

Sun City, is a place of serenity of sorts, with quiet streets save for “occasional deafening sound of military jets whizzing overhead. Let’s not forget the ambulance siren announcing another resident may or may not have met their maker. It’s a great place to vacation from the frigid north country or for us “full-timers” to dwindle away our last remaining days playing games and rec center activities whilst the world continues its flight into darkness.

We should be aware of the menacing destruction around us but for now, we still have our social security and our doctors still try to fix our ailments and elongate our lives, keeping us critically ill long enough to satisfy their pocketbooks. Maybe that’s a little harsh but in the quest to save verbiage, let’s just say that most of us don’t remember or never heard of Mark Twain’s warning; yeah, it’s a warning.

Warning from Mark Twain: The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why. Sadly, most never know why they are here or why it even matters to anyone.

The only reason we are here, or better said created, is to give pleasure to God. And we only know that by reading God’s Word. Jesus of course summed it up in two commandments, love your neighbor as yourself and love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is just a reminder of what we already know. Every day should start with God and end with God. That’s a balance to our life. Scurrying around in business isn’t something we have time for. The end comes quicker than we think. We always think we have another day, or hour, or minute.

No, even if we know it’s coming, it comes suddenly and without remedy.

In John, Chapter 5 is the story of the impotent man who sat by the pool waiting and hoping someone would help him into the waters when they were troubled by the angel. Seems like an odd way for people to be healed, one at a time, and only whoever could make it to the water first; so the most capable of making it on their own or someone who had help.

I can’t imagine waiting by a pool all day with virtually no chance of making it into the water. I don’t understand why God would make such an arrangement but then His ways are higher than my ways. Who am I to question this weird arrangement. The most needy and helpless person gets screwed over and it would be easy to blame it on God.

As Christians, we’re supposed to take care of one another so I think that is what God expected out of the Israelites. The man said he had no one to help him. No one. But that shouldn’t have been the case. God gave the Jews a chance to do the right thing. They failed time and time again. Why? There was no new covenant. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, it was a cut-and-dry existence. The Jews had the law but the law on its own brings death.

They couldn’t have what we have the privilege of having, a new life in Christ. It was before the cross and like the rest of the world they had to rely on the blood sacrifice of animals. They had to keep the law and mercy was at best a whimsical thought.

Being born again is something we take for granted. That is the only difference between those before the cross and we who came after. They lived by hope and promise; we live by the Revelation of Jesus Christ. We know that men are incapable of righteousness, of being holy, of pleasing God unless they’ve humbled themselves to the cross and followed Christ.

By grace are we saved and not of works (keeping the law). Before Christ, the Jews prided themselves on keeping the law and pointing out those who didn’t keep it. This was pleasing to them but not to God. Jesus had to narrow all their laws down to two: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. I think the first command makes the second possible. Loving God is a prerequisite to loving man. Mankind as a whole are not that loveable.
