Work is good. Work is necessary for the fulfillment of every human being. Work is required of every person according to his or her capabilities and talents, so sayeth the Scripture. All of us must work to survive, live, grow and profit and be all that we can be and as God intended us to be.Our very own America was built on hard work, and is in fact itself a work in progress. The progress depends upon us, we the people, how hard we work and how we make things happen. The majority of we the American people are hard workers. And, the harder and the better we work, the better America and all of us are. To be sure, nothing comes easy in this life, nothing. Everything we have or enjoy is the product of hard work by someone, whether you, or me, or someone else. You and I must do our share, accomplish our calling for the very short time we have on this precious earth. Life, said the wisest man of old King Solomon, is but a vapor here today and gone so soon tomorrow. We should make every working day count to the fullest.Pioneers built our country. They were men and women who did little but work hard morning till night. They farmed land never before productive. They raised animals and used them for work and feed. They built houses, and churches, and City Halls. They built roads and bridges. They built autos and trucks. They built hospitals and invented medicines. They designed and manufactured clothing. They created places for entertainment and worship. They built elaborate and majestic campuses for education and things theological. They built laboratories and science centers and they sent us deep into space. They were then and we are now the workers who made America great, America, the most exciting, creative human and social experiment in all of history. You and I should be proud of them and we should be proud to be workers like they were. The more we work, the better we are, caught up, energized and thrilled by the spirit of America, our exceptional opportunity to pursue our dreams and to build our future. America and those who believe in what it stands for are indeed EXCEPTIONAL and we have been blessed by EQUALLY EXCEPTIONAL opportunity. As we work, we should do everything possible to protect and defend the opportunities, lifestyles and freedoms which America offers.How wonderful it is that the talent and ability of every individual God-Made is different, unique. It is marvelous indeed that every single person has talent and gifts which are in fact different. That is true divine diversity. None of us are better at least not in the sight of God, but different only. Each of us has our own special CALLING. So, no matter who you are, YOU are special and it is your right but every bit as importantly your duty to utilize those God-given talents to the fullest. It is your duty to fulfill your calling. So then, we should not be concerned with what others think nor should we judge what we do and how we work by the standards of others. Nor should we be inhibited by their criticism. For we need to know ourselves, be true to that special self and soul which God has created and through prayer and meditation, come to a full recognition of those talents and be the very person God intended that you and I be. We can fail, but we can bounce back. The opportunity for growth and change is still available in America, thank God. Ignore rejection and focus on your calling. So then, my fellow Americans, you may be called to be a mother. Be all that you can be as a mother for the sake of your children and do your God-given calling with all of your might. Or perhaps you are secretary, or babysitter. Perhaps you clean for a living. Recognize all such work as a calling and do your calling with all of your might. Or perhaps you are plumber, electrician, landscaper, restaurant worker. Do your calling with all of your might and as you can, as unto the Lord. Or perhaps you are lawyer, accountant, radio salesperson, financial planner. Do your calling with all of your might. And if you are the President of anything, including the President of our great United States, you perhaps have a calling with higher standards, duties and demands. No one should do a calling better than you WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT!So, we work, we produce and as we do, we should expect return which of course includes money and profit. We work for economic growth and benefit, for the fruit of our labors. We follow the biblical prescription that we can expect even with minimum work product the return of that work one for one. Or perhaps, five to one. Or even as Scripture indicates, perhaps as much as ten to one or more as we diligently develop and exploit those talents and capabilities through hard work. The money return from our work, efforts, creativity and initiative is blessed by Scripture. That money return is right, as we become work men and work women worthy of our hire. We plant, as Scripture says, and Mother Nature waters and it is GOD who gives the increase so the Scri

We think of our great country, we Americans do, as a Democracy. The fact of the matter is that America is really not a democracy but rather a:REPUBLIC.America is a sophisticated system of government, political authority spread about, exercised by different entities and branches of government and most importantly, the governmental system known as Federalism which consists of a federal government on the one hand and state governments, autonomous with considerable independent political authority.The Founding Fathers were very suspicious of human kind, little trust in some cases, with regards to the integrity of men and women who would run the government and the Founding Fathers in the CONSTITUTION divided power four ways creating a Senate, a House of Representatives, a President and a Federal Judiciary. For, they thought, independent and self-functioning branches of government would act as a considerable check and balance and no one entity or person would ever be able to exercise control, real control. But democracy underlay government at every level, Federal and State. Democratic principles center around essential, indispensable and inalienable freedoms such as speech, press, religion, assembly and petition were indeed the most important. The government envisioned by the founders was based on those essential freedoms and in fact had no structure or substance without them. The democratic republic they envisioned for WE THE PEOPLE was however a most fragile concept easily tarnished or done away with in whole or in part by power hungry politicians or by those who very much wanted a different form of government for our country. Democracy, this noble experiment, required a vigilant, pro-active, wary citizenship, ready to protect and defend this governmental form and the essential freedoms it espoused even with the very lives of the citizenry as occurred in revolutionary days. America was founded as a political entity by those who were in fact willing to give their lives for the freedoms they wanted so badly. We the people live today as we do because of them.President Ronald Reagan told us so very clearly that:FREEDOM IS ONLY ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM EXTINCTION!How right he was. It seems as though everywhere, Federal, State and local governments as they are, essential freedoms are eliminated, curtailed or just simply ignored. Men and women once empowered do as they please, so many without regard to the law or the Constitution and the DEMOCRACY, the democratic republic in which we live has never been more in danger of that extinction Reagan warned against. This unique, fragile democracy of ours, this democratic republic may well be on its last legs. The forces of change, radical change, determined to introduce a virulent socialism, or perhaps even a Marxism or at the extreme some form of dictatorship seem to be winning. In 1887, Alexander Tytler, a Scottish history professor at University of Edinburgh said this about Democracy: “A democracy is always temporary in nature. It simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over LOOSE FISCAL POLICY, which is always followed by some form of dictatorship.”Scary words are they not? Professor Tytler states emphatically that any democracy, such as the Athenian Republic is always temporary. It simply cannot survive long term. It cannot exist as a permanent form of government! America, therefore, as it is constituted, simply cannot survive and, says Tytler, the cause of our political death will be: MONEY! Loose Fiscal Policy. Rampant spending. Graphed, Bribes, Pork. Deceit and dishonest financial dealings. Incredible inflation. The combination of these Fiscal factors will be the end of the American Democracy we now know and love. That is happening at an unbelievable pace today, TODAY! It is here and now. It isn’t coming sometime in the future. THE BEGINNING OF THE ENDING OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY – REPUBLIC HAS BEGUN!Professor Alexander Tytler of Edinburgh University goes on to state the following:“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.”America, THE CITY ON A HILL has been alive and well for:245 YEARSOur great country has existed 45 years longer than the average age of historical democratic governments. Tytler, guided by historical precedent, would see the soon end of our great civilization and our magnificent country. Then Professor Tytler gives us a timeline as to the course of democracy from its beginning to its ending. In those 200 years, the average age of the survival of the democratic form of government, Tytler identifies nine different stages which characterize the government

Train up a child in the way in which the child should go. What kind of a training as a child did you have? Were you trained with a quality education, a good school and high school, and college or university, were you? You learn the classics, the three R’s, reading, writing and arithmetic? Were you trained in American history, Western civilization, geometry and chemistry, all the things which are the fundamental basic, necessary for life studies? I was. There was discipline, real discipline. In those good old days, the rod was used and never spared so that the child would not be spoiled. There were standards, high but fair. You went to the next phase of your life prepared. A degree really meant something. Faculty from kindergarten to graduate school were trained, committed, genuinely educated themselves and would teach and grade a student on realities only, real performance. They were dedicated to their work product. So much of that qualitative education seems long lost today in a world of BLACK LIVES MATTER, THE 1619 PROJECT AND CRITICAL RACE THEORY, does it not? I am eternally grateful that I received a good, qualitative, real education in all things secular and Christian, and I do hope and pray that you did as well. By the way, your children or grandchildren: have they received an education like that, have they? Perhaps the best education is that which is a Christian education which fully educates and allows the graduate to: STAND STRONG! FIGHT THE FIGHT OF CHRISTIAN FAITH FASTENED WITH THE BELT OF TRUTH. And of course that life – sustaining belt is Christianity, producing a graduate who enters society with a deep, real, loving relationship with Jesus Christ. That kind of education, REAL CHRISTIAN EDUCATION is mocked, frowned upon, ignored with every attempt to eliminate it. So many so called Christian universities and colleges have compromised, given into the rabid secularism of our day. For some reason, many have become WOKE, watering down and reinterpreting the precious BIBLE, THE BELT OF TRUTH and for them Christian Education is not what it used to be. That was of course education BIBLICALLY BASED and unashamedly so. A graduate was a real believer, ready to live and work in society as sons and daughters of the Living God. Today, there are less such Christian educational institutions and consequently less young graduates ready to live and defend the Christian faith. That same Bible, that BELT OF TRUTH tells us to: STUDY TO SHOW OURSELVES APPROVED RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH WORK MEN AND WOMEN WHO NEED NOT BE ASHAMED OF THEIR FAITH. Those truly Christian are anxious to testify to and defend their faith, to show themselves as fully intellectually capable, ready apologetically or otherwise to protect and defend their precious faith. They have studied and CONTINUE TO STUDY the inspired word of God so that they can RIGHTLY DIVIDE, that is interpret and understand the truth of scriptures, intellectually formulate them and communicate them to the world. In many cases, much of that is lost as so much of Christian education goes the secular way. Those truths start with the 39 Books of the Old Testament and the first and greatest commandment therein: THOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, SOUL, MIND AND STRENGTH AND THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF. There it is, the most powerful word in all of scripture, Old and New Testaments: LOVE. Unfortunately, as hate builds on the secular side, little of that biblical love, THE BELT OF TRUTH is taught and learned. As a result, there is little respect for the biblical admonition that: THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE. So that, standing before the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, we stand in awe, and amazement, and lovingly so, with the deepest possible human respect for this God of Wonder. Gone from education is so much of that amazement, respect and LOVE in this radical, woke, progressive and angrily secular day and age in which we live. Mankind, to his and her everlasting detriment has replaced the great God Jehovah, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ with: HIMSELF AND HERSELF! J. Gresham Machen, a Christian apologist, theologian and educator, a highly respected Christian student and President of theological seminary Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia was deeply concerned with Christian Education. Machen, appalled at the growth of ignorance in the church said the following: “If (Christian ignorance) must be remedied primarily by the renewal of Christian Education in the FAMILY. Otherwise, people cannot know what Christianity really is.” And there, my fellow Christians is the first principle, the key to Christian Education. That is, the training up of the child in the: HOME. When you decide to become a parent, it is your responsibility, your Christian duty to provide for that child a: CHRISTIAN HOME. That home, scriptures clearly state must have a man, a biological male, a loving husband and father provider and a Christian woman, loving

THE BIBLE IS HATE SPEECH! Those were the words of an atheistic, radical, Marxist progressive, deep within the democratic party who has an aggressive hatred for the Bible, for Christianity and for all Christians. The Bible, says this radical – atheist should be banned in every public place, including and especially schools, libraries and especially kept away from the young. The Bible spews hate especially when it refers to the sinful nature of mankind, the need for forgiveness and redemption, the inability of the individual to live morally and lovingly on his or her own without the forgiveness, companionship and relationship of Jesus Christ. The Bible, says he, is exclusionary, fails to recognize true diversity (other religions), has for far too long dominated culture in America and must be excised from the public square completely and permanently. Thousands, perhaps millions agree. If any of us who believe need motivation to fight the fight of faith, we have it now full-bore. But the Bible is not a compilation of ancient stories, parables and sermons. It is not mythology, magic, but rather morality at its highest. The primary theme of the 66 Books of our Holy Bible is: LOVE. It is the Old Testament testimony to the great God Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the father of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible is not hate speech but love speech. The Bible presents the message not of condemnation but redemption. It provides the framework and structure for faith, and for hope and it provides the foundation for love, real love, in the form of: THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD. It attracts men and women who need something much beyond themselves. They come to the realization that they cannot live a moral life on their own and they require a helping hand, a divine helping hand. They encounter in 27 books of the New Testament the living Christ, the son of the living God and the remedies and relationships He provides. These seekers want what the Christ of Glory alone can offer. Every page of that New Testament and the prophecies of the old point to this Messiah, this savior of the world in an absolutely compelling way, personally and theologically. The Bible message of the New Testaments is not a message of HATE. It is the highest and best form of love available to mankind. It is in the Greek language: AGAPE, which is the very highest and most noble definition of love unconditional, powerful, never ending, never failing. It is in fact the exact opposite of HATE and that perhaps is why the Bible and the message of Jesus Christ is so hated by those who accuse this precious book of HATE SPEECH and want it banned from the public square. Whether or not that happens, it could never be banned from the heads and hearts of believers, never. There comes their command from the great God Jehovah that his people, the Jews and Israelites and consequently all believing gentiles should as a matter of first moral priority: LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL MY HEART, SOUL, MIND AND STRENGTH AND THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF That is the great commandment fully endorsed by Jesus Christ. The love of God constrains, is greater than all our sins and is the hope for all humankind. We learn early on as young Christians that: GOD IS LOVE. Indeed, God is just that, love. He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to a saving knowledge of his son. Have you had that personal encounter with Jesus Christ? This love of God permeates everything. It is everywhere. It is immediately available, ours for the asking, love without end. It is says scripture an unspeakable love, that is there are no adequate words to describe the breadth, length, height and depth of this love, no words at all. This love motivates us, frees us, inspires and energizes us to live this life with the highest and finest relationship mankind could have. This God of love sent his son to die for us, so that we might be redeemed, forgiven and enter into a new loving relationship with Him. The message for us was that God hates sin but loves the sinner. There is that marked separation between the thing (sin) and the person, the sinner. We are upon acceptance born again, on the way to maturing as a new child, experiencing love like we have never experienced before. It is impossible to explain fully, no words are adequate, nor can we understand this spiritual process in its entirety. It is to the atheist foolishness, mythological, perhaps neurotic even psychotic. But to the believer, it is the most real thing in life, on this earth. This love of Christ at Calvary is the most lasting, enduring thing on this earth which will someday pass away. It won’t and we won’t. It is easy to love this God, in fact even wonderful. And the love of God allows us to love our neighbors no matter who they are and what they are, even if they are enemies. It allows us to put aside differences, hatreds and provides a loving opportunity for new fellowship, for witness and testi

BE OF GOOD CHEER. Are you a cheerful person? Do you tend in personality to the positive rather than the negative? Do you see the glass half full rather than half empty, do you? You should, you know. For BE OF GOOD CHEER is not suggestive but rather a positive, aggressive biblical commandment. A cheerful, happy, joyful expression and more importantly heart, a cheerful heart is every bit required of Christians as any of the SHALT NOTS OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Being cheerful, joyful in a negative world, a marvelously positive thing should be no hardship for any Christian. To be happy in the service of the king, and as a result of the sacrifice of that very same king is a natural fruit of the spirit for the Christian. If all is made right, redeemed, forgiven and the full effects of the salvation experience having taken root, there is nothing to be worried about, nothing. Joy reigns and as the Holy Spirit resides, good cheer is the natural byproduct. Are you cheerful or are you a worrier? More from the scripture: DON’T BE DISMAL. So many walk through life with frowns on the face, anger in the eyes, jaw tight, lips pursed ready for battle. There is little or no love, joy, rejoicing in their spirit. They have never experienced the joy of Jesus Christ. Have you? If so, the last thing in your life would be DISMAL. You on the other hand, would infect the world with a: SPIRITUAL SMILE. A joyful spirit, rejoicing in the Lord, thankful for everything. You would be genuinely a person of GOOD CHEER. Are you? The person of good cheer constantly REJOICES. The scriptural command for them to be glad and rejoice no matter the circumstances, including severe difficulties, persecution and more becomes a reality. No matter the negative circumstances, the positive Christian will always rejoice and be GLAD, exceedingly glad for the love of Christ rules. Even when faith is attacked, when Christianity is ridiculed, mocked and Christians persecuted as happens so often today, there is rejoicing, a thankful spirit, one of praise no matter how negative. Because, the love of Christ has permeated heart, soul and mind and the disciple of the risen Lord is a person of: GOOD CHEER. Are you one, are you glad, exceedingly glad in Christianity no matter the negativity of this world, are you? Our world is corrupt, full of lies, deceit, conspiracies, the fruits of what is most certainly: THE POST TRUTH ERA. A true Christian loves the truth and believes wholeheartedly that only the truth will make us free but even in a culture where truth is cancelled, and where Christianity is attacked, and those who believe persecuted, there rings out loud and clear that blessed assurance: BE OF GOOD CHEER. I, I the Lord have overcome the world. Do you believe that, do you? If you do, there is nothing to worry about, nothing. If you really do believe that, you can never be DISMAL. Frowns replaced by spiritual smiles. You cannot worry, a sin in its own right for you live this day and each day with the problems and potential thereof and the cheer, the joy, the gladness in your spirit will not allow you to worry about tomorrow. Rejoice in that. Be glad about that, exceedingly glad. Be thankful, in all things and especially that. Live positive in a negative world. Radicals, the evil, Marxists and socialists would destroy our country. They would eviscerate our Constitution, especially our First Amendment freedoms of religion, speech and press, and petition and assembly. They would destroy democracy and eventually install Marxism as a way of life. So, then comes the commandment to resist the devil, RESIST EVIL. But even as you do, even as you take YOUR STAND, you and I should fight the fight of faith persons of good cheer, not looking dismal. Not to worry, to be joyful and rejoice, to be glad and thankful for the opportunity to serve and defend our Lord. And we should be thankful in all things especially the defense of our Christian faith and our love for Jesus Christ. Is that you? Do you live and believe that way, do you? This salvation, the love of the Lord, the reality of true Christianity is yours, you will do, believe and live all of that, a person of: GOOD CHRISTIAN CHEER. We see the destruction of our educational system. We are told we must become advocates of CRITICAL RACE THEORY, the deconstruction of our American history, the watering down, the compromising or elimination of our Christian faith as America enters the new normal, the radical changes in culture, lifestyle and values. WE THE PEOPLE RESIST! We will not render unto CAESAR allegiance and obedience to all such for it is immoral, unbiblical, satanic and wrong, just plain wrong! We will defend, resist, fight the fight of faith all the while we are thankful in all things, exceedingly glad for the opportunity to stand up for our Lord, and to rejoice, cheerfully rejoice in that defense. Do you, will you resist, stand up, fight the fight of faith, will you? You should, I should because it is our Christian

Scriptures tell us very clearly, Old and New Testaments that the world in which we live, our beloved planet Earth will END. All we know and experience, all we assume with regard to planet Earth will someday be no more. The Bible does not say when, for only God Almighty knows that. But it is clear that there will be an ending and it even tells us in some ways how this world of ours will end. In the last days, the end times, there will be plagues and disease. How about Killer Covid for starters. There will be lawlessness, men and women doing what they want, living how they will, defying any authority, producing chaos, rebellion, riots and physical violence. How about Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, the riots and killings in Chicago and New York for starters. Rampant individuality, immorality defying authority. There will be in the last days an immorality such as the world has not seen. We will find the end of moral absolutes like the ten commandments scoffed and mocked and the rights and freedoms of the Constitution, ignored and ridiculed. There will be no moral authority, none whatsoever and what tens of millions of people regard as an ultimate authority, the Holy Bible, will be ridiculed, mocked and ignored. We see my fellow Americans the beginning of that very thing today, do we not? Even as the Bible is hardly read and virtually ignored, so is the church by so many. The Christian church, so many of them and their Pastors, have become compromised, ignoring Gospel fundamentals, becoming social institutions rather than worship and learning centers about the one true God and our Lord Jesus Christ. So much of the once great and powerful Christian church becomes irrelevant, ignored and compromised. All of that are signs of the end times, the last days and they now exist and grow, do they not? What do you think? Many of us consider ourselves EVANGELICALS. That is, we once did. Today, many wonder exactly what an Evangelical is. Years ago, the statement of belief was clear, biblical and fundamental. Today, whether in writing or practice, EVANGELICAL does not mean what it once meant. Many of us simply refer to ourselves as Bible believing, Christ following, the great God Jehovah worshiping Christians. Perhaps the term EVANGELICAL should be replaced by: REAL CHRISTIAN BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIAN That may sound simplistic but it is basic, fundamental and real. I for one would prefer to be that rather than to be labeled by a term which may not define who I am or what it is I believe. What do you think? Do you consider yourself an Evangelical and if so, are you satisfied with the current, cultural definition of Evangelical, are you? Former President Barrack Hussein Obama told us clearly that we Americans and Christians lived in the day and age of: POST TRUTH. That is, that there was no such thing as absolute truth. Nor was there any absolute morality, laws of conduct. That politics itself would become riddled with moral relativism and the truth du jour, meaning of course that anything which advanced the ultimate cause and objectives was the truth at least the truth of the day. The Bible for men like Obama, and so many others was a nice collection of stories, mythologies and suggestions, anything but absolute, anything but TRUTH. When Jesus the Christ said: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE such a statement would be ridiculed or at best simply ignored. Today, that very Bible, Christianity itself, its storied history is not just ignored, but attacked. Statues are toppled, churches are vandalized, Christians are killed and there is an all out attack on anything Christian, or for that matter other faiths as well, in politics. If these new radicals, Cancel Culture (and religion and especially Christianity) progressives have their way, we the people will eventually live under a new standard of morality which in fact is no morality at all. We live in a day and age where cultural standards, lifestyles, and morality itself are essentially defined by: LGBTQIA–U, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexual, alternate and now the brand new category UNDECIDED. Individuals now determine who and what they are. They decide their sexual orientation (SO) and their gender identity (GI). Science and especially biology mean nothing. Nor do traditional terms like male and female. Politics tries in every way to accommodate. So do so many churches. Even the once great and consistent theological church, the Roman Catholic Church, wrestles with the issues, searches for compromise and watches as a certain schism and rebellion occurs within its own ranks. The immorality, the theological lawlessness of the end times and the last days is here and now. The church as so much of our new and revolutionary society has become in so many ways: WOKE. It seeks accommodation rather than confrontation, a moral stand up approach to mankind and society which scripture requires. It distances itself in so many instances from that now hateful word: S

We the Christians believe that the Bible, the Holy Bible is the inspired word of God. It is for us: THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY. All 66 books of this precious Bible, we believe, have been given to us by inspiration, and with this ultimate authority comes the concept of infallibility. It is right, it is truth, every word of it. Do you believe that, do you really believe that? These books contain wonderful stories, histories, biographies, blessings and the attitudes, commandments, ten and more instructing us how to live and what is right and wrong and so much more. Every one of the 66 books adds to the story, the drama, the relationship between God and man. It shows THE WAY, it is the truth and it is the life and life more abundantly. What would life be without it. Do you believe that? Do you believe that the Bible is the infallible, inspired word of the living God, do you? Millions upon millions of human beings passed, present and perhaps even more so in the future do NOT! For them, the Bible is at best a collection of stories, myths, symbols and signs, fiction, made up having nothing to do with God if in fact there is one. This is the reaction of the: NATURAL MAN. To this natural man and woman, the Bible and its writings are FOOLISHNESS. To believe requires an enormous leap of faith, a denial of reason, the replacement of all things scientific with mythology, silly – foolish in every way. It is, the Bible, the anchor for a weak mind, an overly emotional and needy psyche, exaggeration and even a compilation of lies. The natural man could not be farther from the Bible–believing Christian and Jew. At best, the Bible should and really must be interpreted. Different points of view and understanding should apply. When that happens, one heresy, one human interpretation follows another and in short order, what should have been the way, the truth and the life becomes a multitude of ways, truths and lives to be led. But worst of all, this natural man and woman regards the Bible as a compilation of: HATE SPEECH. The Bible refers to every man and woman as SINNER, breaking the laws of God and in need of redemption. Hate speech and writings at their worst, so these Bible – religion haters say. These books, condemn the unnatural man and woman. Those teachings are of course opposed by LGBTQ. These books say it is wrong to kill, and especially to kill innocent babies in the womb, no matter that God may have formed that baby and knew that baby in that womb. This book condemns euthanasia, the killing of the elderly. And all of that and so much more is hate speech and this angry, aggressive, hateful man himself wants this compilation of hateful books banned forevermore, and with that, the banning and shunning of all who believe in this Bible. Further, this Bible calls these Bible haters the son of their father: THE DEVIL. More hate speech, another reason why this book and its body of believers should be marginalized, criticized and even ridiculed. If these modern day atheists and God–haters have their way, sooner or later the Bible will be banned everywhere. They ridicule, these natural men and women do, the concept of salvation and: BORN AGAIN, especially the claim in scripture that except a man or woman be born again, he or she cannot see or enter the Kingdom of God. More hate speech. And they are incensed by these words of Jesus Christ: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE NO MAN OR WOMAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. In short, those words and this book condemn all other religions, proclaim them and their teachings as wrong, and nothing, these critics say, could be more hateful. They produce a counterculture which is anti–religion in every sense, critical of the spiritual man and woman and of the Christian church, the gathering place of believers. Sadly, the church and many believers succumb to this pressure, this criticism and they begin new interpretations of holy scripture as they become: WOKE, newly enlightened finding new meaning their way, the way of the natural man rather than seeking the enlightenment and interpretation by the Holy Spirit, the one responsible for the original teachings. Current culture, demands, criticisms win out and Bible teachings and the loving and saving message of the Gospel is watered down or even eliminated. When such a man is finished with the Bible, there is hardly anything left. It is in a way shocking to see the COMPROMISE which exists in the Christian church, its denominations, its Pastors and leaders and laymen and women. It is as though they were ashamed of the Gospel having lost the ability to see the Bible and its messages as: THE POWER OF THE LIVING GOD. They are so concerned with ridicule, criticism and banishment from current culture that they are ready to compromise, remain silent and in effect deny the message and the life of the living Lord and the truth of 66 books. They have no interest, these current, compromised Christians in: FIGHTING THE FIGHT OF FAITH. They would not think

He’s black! That should be a good thing today, but this particular African American also happens to be conservative. I refer to Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, a bright, articulate, intellectually strong and morally equipped, politically astute Senator from the great state of South Carolina. This is a man, a true American, who is on the rise politically in the Republican party and many think he may well be a presidential candidate in the 2024 elections. We the people have had a man half African American as our President for eight years. Perhaps now history completes itself and we have a man fully African American as our President who, unlike Barrack Hussein Obama, liberal – radical, would be a conservative, constitutional President where ALL LIVES MATTER! The leftist, liberal media of course have come out against Senator Scott, referring to this good man as: UNCLE TIM analogizing Tim Scott to the old UNCLE TOM character, a term of ridicule for African Americans, so disrespectful and sad in a day and age of supposed diversity and equality. That is especially so for a man like Senator Tim Scott who is a first–class human being. The Media Research Center (MRC) led by one good man Brent Bozell said the following: “There is one thing the leftist media despise more than a conservative, and that is a conservative who happens to be black.” They did the same thing, these radical – leftist media types, to Justice Clarence Thomas of the Supreme Court. When he was nominated, the media viciously attacked Mr. Thomas in every way possible, with lies, fraudulent tactics, phony witnesses and charges never in any way proved. Fortunately for America, African American Clarence Thomas was confirmed as Justice of the Supreme Court and for 30 years, Clarence Thomas has been a constitutional originalist, a true American, rendering one decision after another all for the good of our and his beloved America. It is more than a compliment to say that Senator Tim Scott is cut out of the same cloth as Clarence Thomas. Wherever he goes politically, that would be good for America. Many think that the biggest problem in America today is Big Tech and the control of information sources and resources. That holds true for traditional or old media, liberal to the core and determined to control the narrative and dialogue in America, of course for all things and causes liberal. If you happen to be black and conservative, a lethal combination to these vicious speech radicals, you will be attacked. Not only have they done so with Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas, but they viciously attacked Dr. Ben Carson, a brilliant surgeon, a strong American, a solid Christian and a productive Washington politician for four years. Black is good but black conservative is anything but. These radical members of the media, many think not only anti–American but perhaps even Marxist, have attacked virtually every prominent black conservative including Candace Owens, a bright, conservative black female, Star Parker the very same, Thomas Sowell, a brilliant thinker, writer and columnist and even Alveda King, no matter that she was related to the revered Dr. Martin Luther King. Ms. King happens to be conservative, totally unacceptable to this radical media. The hateful, demeaning and racial attacks against Senator Tim Scott by the leftist press surfaced shockingly after he gave the GOP (Republican) response to President Joe Biden’s speech before Congress on April 28. Following his very learned speech, the media attacked. They ridiculed and called him names which if any source conservative did the same, every meaningful and influential news source would viciously attack and smear over and again. Senator Tim Scott said the following after the attacks on his speech: “Intolerance so often comes from the left with words like Uncle Tim and the n- word being used against me. It is stunning in 2021 that those who speak about ending discrimination want to end it by more discrimination.” Senator Scott went on to say the following: “Hear me clearly. America is not a racist country.” Immediately, the radical – leftist media began labeling Senator Scott as: UNCLE TIM, a play on words of course referring to the old disrespected UNCLE TOM. Big Tech allowed that to circulate on social media for ELEVEN HOURS, eleven hours before it was blocked. If any conservative source had called a liberal – radical black politician (i.e. Senator Warnock from Georgia) an Uncle Tom, that person – entity and the content produced would have been banned from all large social media platforms forever like Big Tech did to President Donald Trump. Double standards, don’t you think? That’s why so many, including Media Research Center regard Big Tech as the greatest enemy to freedom and American democracy today. I fully agree. What do you think? CNN, a horribly unobjective, radical – liberal news source and its commentator Keith Boykin tweeted the following: “Tim Scott is a shameless liar. America is and always

FREEDOM! We are, America is, the home, the land of the: BRAVE AND THE FREE. We are lovers of freedom. It is, you could say, in our genes. We inherited that love of freedom from those who founded our great country, fought against the oppressors more than two centuries ago and built the foundation for the FREEDOMS we now enjoy today. Give us, we say with that great statesman and our forefather Patrick Henry, give us that LIBERTY or if that is taken away, give us death for there is no real life without freedom. For us, America is in fact exceptional no matter the indifferent attitude of Barack Hussein Obama who thinks that America is no more exceptional than any other country! But all of America and we the people are exceptional in so many ways, including our way of life and our lifestyle. Everything is okay down to the last sentence and raise and champion our great flag, and wear the American flag pin proudly, especially in the world of academia which thinks the American flag is a symbol for racism and xenophobia rather than exceptionalism. And now, we should take quality time to honor the founding documents which make us great, namely our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence. We should honor these incredible documents by reading them, studying their content, understanding the values therein and resolving as the authors of these documents did, and honor our forefathers who provided them for us recommitting to them and the world at large that we the people will protect and preserve the freedoms contained therein, even to the laying down of our lives. In this day, there are so many who would CHANGE what we have, or even more radically so, eliminate it. There seems to be an ever-growing number of those in our very own country with little or no respect for our great founding documents, our freedoms, the principles by which we have lived and built THE GREAT SOCIETY, and especially what America has been, our glorious history. They the un-Americans wish to eliminate or erode so many of our freedoms and move this great country toward socialism. THEY are the enemy inside and they must be stopped. We the people, true Constitutional Americans energized and emboldened by our founding documents and founding fathers must make certain we do what is right for our great country, and as true patriots, protect and defend our freedoms as never before. We should do everything humanly possible to prevent socialism of any kind in thought or deed. We should remember the words of that great statesman, a founding father himself, Benjamin Franklin, who said, when asked, that he and his fellow revolutionaries have given us, Americans then and now, a Republic. Not a Democracy, but a Republic. Franklin went on to warn us then and now that this Republic was FRAGILE, and needed at all times to be protected with vigilance, vigor and valor.That this Republic of the combined United States could never be taken for granted. Nor could any citizen assume it would go on, and on. For freedom, for Franklin and the fathers, was a precious right that could only be sustained by watchful, involved and proactive citizens. We who would live in this free country and enjoy its immense freedoms must at all times be: WATCHMEN AND WOMEN ON THE WALLS Not talk, debate or discussion, but action, actively working to protect our freedoms and our way of life, willing to die in the fray if necessary. Would you be willing to die, to lay all on the altar in the cause of freedom? What would you do if ISIS or jihadists attacked America and threatened harm to your family and you? What would you do? Our forefathers never gave the matter a second thought. They, in Second Amendment fashion, took up arms to defend their country, their freedoms and their family. Would you? In fact, we AMERICANS should be so proud of our country, and our freedoms, that we as a nation are ready at all times to help others in the cause of freedom. We gave the lives of millions of young American men and women to others in the cause of freedom. Witness World War II. One Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman 83 years young arrived in Paris by airplane. At French customs, it took him several minutes to locate his passport. The Customs Officer with sarcasm and disdain asked Mr. Whiting: “You have been to France before, Monsieur?” Mr. Whiting answered, yes he had and the smart aleck French official replied pompously: “Then you should know enough to have your passport ready!” Mr. Whiting then stared this official in the eye and said the following: “The last time I was here I didn’t have to show my passport.” To which the French Customs Official replied: “Impossible! Americans always have to show passports on arrival in France!” Mr. Whiting gave this arrogant Frenchman a long hard look and he proudly stated: “Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchman to show a passport to!” You could have heard

Few know or care about Article VI of the Constitution. But any person of faith, whatever the belief, should know about the content of this very special constitutional provision and be prepared to both understand and defend it. Here the words: “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” If you qualify and consequently are nominated to office, federal office of any kind, or federal public trust of any kind, you can be a person of any religious belief you wish without disqualification, or for that matter none at all. Religious belief can not be investigated, vetted, much less required and no test of any kind regarding that religious belief shall ever be given to any qualified candidate for office of the United States of America. Rather plain, clear and direct words, are they not? But of course, this constitutional prohibition was completely ignored by Democrats, you know those progressive, ultra–liberal – radical individuals who now inhabit and control the democratic party, when Judges Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were nominated by then President Trump for confirmation as Justices of the United States Supreme Court. The confirmation of those three Judges, all good, incredibly intelligent, well versed and experienced in the law and the Constitution would make the composition of the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) CATHOLIC, with seven out of nine Justices professing such faith. SEVEN OF NINE ROMAN CATHOLIC! Anti–religionists, and perhaps quite clearly anti–Roman Catholic Senators obviously disliked that fact fearful that the: “Dogma runs deep” in the judicial veins of those Justices and that they would be tempted to vote Supreme Court decisions on the basis of their Catholic faith. That was anathema to Senator Schumer, Feinstein, themselves Jewish of some sort and with Justices Thomas, Alito, Roberts and Sotomayor already in place, three more Catholics on the Supreme Court comprising 80% of all Justices would simply be far too much. They therefore set about in confirmation hearings to expose their Catholicism, sincere as it was for these three, with the hope that there would be enough other Senators, themselves perhaps somewhat anti–Catholic or concerned with an overbalance, who would vote against confirmation. They cared nothing at all, these radical, liberal democratic Senators about the Constitution or the prohibitions against any such attempted qualification under the clear terms of Article VI. They wanted what they wanted and nothing, including and especially the Constitution in this case would get in the way. DOGMA RUN DEEP candidates would simply not be acceptable. By the way, in addition to the seven confirmed Roman Catholic Justices of the Supreme Court, the other two, Justices Kagan and Breyer are Jewish. Ironically, there are no Protestants, none at all even though Protestants are the largest religious grouping in the United States, all Christian people of faith included who are not Roman Catholic. I sometimes wonder whether Senators Schumer and Feinstein ever thought about that. Regardless of their religious belief, these seven Catholic Justices have voted the law, interpreted correctly the Constitution in virtually every case and decided what is fair and right for America, Catholicism notwithstanding. They are honest, fair minded, hardworking, truly American, constitutionally caring interpreters of the law and we the people are fortunate to have them making ultimate and life–guiding and changing decisions. Biden and company now study the possibility of: PACKING THE SUPREME COURT. That is, adding Justices as many as six, or four, or at least two, each of whom of course would be liberal if not radical with respect to the Constitution in order to make certain that they, the progressives – socialists – Marxists get the decisions they want. Virtually every one of the nine Justices has publicly stated what a horrible decision that would be, turning the court political, biased, and in many ways unconstitutional in decision making, all of which would utterly destroy any confidence which WE THE PEOPLE might have in this once great court of ultimate justice. Seven Roman Catholics and two Jews making ultimate decisions for Americans is simply repugnant to Biden and the radical Democratic party he comes from, and supports, and which supports him. If that packing happens in any form, what a tragic day it would be for we the people and for the America we love. Democrats have absolutely no regard for Article VI and the prohibition against inquiry into a nominee’s religious views. Politically for them, it is a day and age of: ANYTHING GOES! Interestingly, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, herself Roman Catholic, may be the most liberal – radical – organic constitutionalist of any of the nine Justices. She professes a strong Roman Catholic faith on the one hand, and is often on the side of radical decision making some of which may be viewed as co

Two kinds of fathers are there. The one Heavenly, the other earthly. The Lord of Glory, the Carpenter of Nazareth said: “I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.” What a claim.Blasphemy by a human being if it were not true. But they were ONE, and the carpenter from Nazareth told us in unequivocal terms that the CREATOR OF THIS UNIVERSE AND OUR EARTH was indeed among so many other things a: FATHER To Him and to us.For otherwise, this Creator would be completely unknown, incapable of being known by us, but HE is. And, the Supreme Creator loves us and cares for us. To me that is a thought incomprehensible were it not for: HIM Our Lord Jesus Christ took something remote, obscure and unfathomable and made it known, personal, deeply meaningful and loving so that we, the creatures of His creation, could understand who we are, why we are, and what we should believe. We are to understand and believe said Jesus, that there is for us an ETERNAL FATHER and not merely a cosmic Creator. We are known as individuals, as sons and daughters by this Father, and we are not mere specks in the universe or dust in the wind. We have meaning. We are in fact SONS AND DAUGHTERS of this Father having claimed our inheritance as such through the SON Jesus Christ. Hard to comprehend but true.We are also told that God the Father is love.GOD IS LOVE, and that love is the essence of God and so available to us. Love is the greatest says the Scriptures, more so than faith and hope, and to know that God is love incarnate is just incredible. And we who are fathers should love the very same way. Even as the eternal Father loves us, so should we love our children. If a Heavenly Father loves unconditionally, so an earthly father should do the same, love the child unconditionally. The highest attributes of any earthly father are the embracing, heartfelt and unconditional loving openness to the child even as the Father loves the child: LOVE NEVER FAILS But there is another side of love from our Heavenly Father, a TOUGH LOVE. That is, love at work which is ready to: DISCIPLINE Love may indeed be meek, warm, gentle and forgiving, kind and open and it should be.But love must also be tough, demanding, disciplined and concerned for all things which are: RIGHT For there are indeed prodigal sons and daughters who go astray. As such, they honor not the Heavenly Father nor the earthly.Discipline is required, firm and straight. The rod was used in the old days to accomplish discipline and to carryout punishment. But that has been taken away. Discipline today is more on the order of depriving the child of opportunities and pleasures or requiring the child to make up for the wrong and do what is right.Sometimes it works and sometimes not.But fathers can not SPARE THE ROD however the rod is determined for that is a fatherly duty. No child can grow without discipline for there is nothing worse for a father than a child spoiled and bent upon his own way.Demanding standards, the terms and conditions of sonship, are a father’s duty which can not be delegated or ignored.And the Scriptures make it perfectly clear: WHOM THE FATHER LOVES HE CHASTENS Chastening is real love at work. BY THEIR FRUITS, LOVING DISCIPLINE AT WORK, YE SHALL KNOW THE FATHER AND WHO THE FATHER TRULY IS. The integrity of the father is critical. Dads must do what they say and dads must say what they mean. The father must live by the same standards he requires of the child.The father must be consistent in character, live a life with values and without hypocrisy. Nothing is harder for a child to accept than lectures about right and wrong from a father who lives by neither. So that, a father does not have to explain or justify the demands.The father does not have to negotiate with the child and in the course of discipline ask the child if it is OK. For it matters not if the child agrees with the father. If a child respects a loving father, that is all that is required. So many families seem to have so little respect for each other and rapidly become dysfunctional. But a true father, a real father is head of household. He is the one in charge, so say the Scriptures, kind, loving, considerate and respectful of all including and especially the wife-mother, but head of the household nonetheless. Discharging all of those functions gives the father the right to discipline and demand. But again, the father has earned that right by the way he lives. When the son is old and ready for his own life, the ways of the father will be his and the son in turn will perpetuate, carryon those values for his family. It is so very important for the father to incorporate the son into his life. To train up the child is to involve the child in the life, the career, the work of the father. So many sons carry on, inherit and follow the father. Father and son, or daughter, work together, learn together and the father teaches in practical ways. What the father holds dear and in which he has invested his life becomes part of the child, a very p

“What is happening in America really scares me!” Those were the words of a listener to The Stand. It should indeed scare this good Christian lady who wrote, and in fact, it should scare all of us, that is all of WE THE PEOPLE who love America, what it is, and what it should be.It is no surprise that there are those by the millions, perhaps even tens of millions, who wish to destroy this great Country. They are Marxists, not socialists, Nihilists, anarchists, willing to use violence, intimidation, ridicule and above all BELIE. There is no such thing for them as truth, or even fact for that matter, but only that which advances the cause, their destructive cause. They regard themselves as champions of the era of: POST TRUTH.These Marxists are men and women like George Soros, Saul Alinsky and the many who work under the umbrella of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, just to name two such organizations concerned only with getting power, absolute political power, total influence, control of all things financial: the money and the prestige which such power, influence and money allow. To that end, they have hijacked the Democratic Party, they operate somewhat overtly but mostly covertly, patient but powerful knowing that their day will come. As former President Barack Hussein Obama said of them and himself: “WE are the ones we have been waiting for!”Now comes from this democratically controlled House of Representatives the so called EQUALITY ACT, which is in essence and at its core the INEQUALITY ACT. A writer for the New York Post called this vicious piece of legislation: AN ORWELLIAN HORROR,and indeed it is. This Equality Act, also known as H.R.5 redefines federal civil rights laws and in particular “updates” the laws which Congress passed to combat racism, namely the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Essentially, the so called EQUALITY ACT adds to the Civil Rights the highly ideological concepts about sex and gender which are revolutionary in every conceivable way. H.R.5 essentially erases SEX as a legal category with all the dire consequences which result. Said one commentator:“For people, for businesses, for churches, and for ministries of faith, the Equality Act is a threat to life as we know it in our nation today. It’s a real game changer!”The radical, progressive, socialistic – Marxist politicians of the Democratic Party are determined that this bill will pass. It now goes to the Senate, having been passed (barely so) by the House for Senate consideration and hopefully passage. Thankfully, for God–fearing Americans, there remains the filibuster in the Senate which when utilized by oppositional Senators, can delay the passage of this legislative monstrosity for some time. Hopefully, that happens. Listen carefully to what this bill proposes.Schools, all schools, churches and hospitals would be forced to accept the governments beliefs and mandates about: SEXUAL ORIENTATION GENDER IDENTITY Any person, no matter the biological gender, could identify as any kind of sex so desired and every other person, and all of society would be required to recognize that person as such. Biological men could identify as women and consequently, be given access to women’s privacy areas. Those very biological men could enter what are now women’s restrooms. They could also take showers with them. They could enter, these biological men, homeless shelters and even be put in women’s prisons. These biological males, who now must be recognized as women could enter, participate, compete in and dominate girls and women’s sports as some already have! That, as many have said, would be the end of women’s sports and erase overnight all the tremendous gains which women have made in sports, and in fact, in many other professional fields as well. Suppose you had a high school daughter competing in sports, doing well and in comes a biological man and wins, breaking all biological female records. How would you feel? That, my dear American woman, would happen over and again if this INEQUALITY ACT PASSES. By the way, that biological male masquerading as a female would be showering after the event naked with your high school daughter! Would you stand for that?More. As the terms men and women are redefined, and more importantly, SEX is redefined or better yet for these radicals eliminated as a descriptive term altogether, speech would change and radically so. The use of pronouns would be changed, and to refer to him who has biologically changed to her as he would be forbidden and the use of any such now improper terminology would not only be illegal but potentially criminal in some cases. Schools would be coerced to instruct first, second and third graders that they can choose to be a boy or a girl, or neither, or BOTH! That of course would make biological sex and the science behind it a relic of the past. Can you believe this? But it is there, and here, and with a real potentiality to become the law of the land with incredible criminal and civil penalties for n

Freedom of Religion is the first freedom in the First Amendment of the very first and most brilliant freedom document ever written by mankind.Nobody and nothing can legally interfere with the practice of religion legitimately practiced, so says the First Amendment, including and especially Congress, House and Senate which is absolutely and unconditionally forbidden to establish a religion or abridge the practice or free speech of religion. No matter this clear, direct and unequivocal prohibition by our beloved Constitution and its First Amendment, there has never been a day and age where RELIGION, including and especially Christianity is abridged, threatened or curtailed like the things which are happening today. Scary times indeed, especially for those who are Christian, who sincerely, genuinely, and unapologetically love the Christ of Glory and unabashedly proclaim that faith and love to all the world. They – we are targets like never before.But the courts, federal and state, continue to apply current thinking, modern day interpretations of the Constitution, treating it as organic and not fundamental, not originalist, not plain and fundamental in language and essentially do what they want especially when liberals, radicals and progressives control the judiciary. We live as our former President Barack Hussein Obama so famously said in the world of post truth, that is the only truth that matters is whatever advances your cause that day, the truth du jour, and in so many ways, the judiciary ignores the fact – truth of the Constitution and the protections of the freedom of religion in the First Amendment and they do what they want, fashioning their own version of the truth. We live in a day and age of legal uncertainty where WE THE PEOPLE never know what will come next, what the rules are, what the rule of law is and in so many ways what we can count on and how we should live our lives. There seems to be little authority, there is hardly any respect for tradition much less history, and American history and there is much chaos, anarchy and revolution happening everywhere even in our very own country. Witness the Antifa – Black Lives Matter driven riots and destruction in Portland, and in Seattle, and at one time in Philadelphia and other cities as well. One homicide can trigger the destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars of property and result in the loss of any number of innocent lives. That same indifference and disrespect carries over in some cases to religionists and the practice of religion itself. So many biblical scholars studying prophecy believe strongly that this is the beginning of the END TIMES. Now more than ever, the once ironclad and predictable authority of the Roman Catholic Church is challenged, and challenged in many different places. That is especially so in the nation of Germany. Catholic clergy in Germany now begin to bless gay couples across Germany, and marry them in defiance of a recent Vatican ban on the practice. This rogue clergy defies the authority of the Church and Catholic Priests and Lay Ministers are planning coordinated ceremonies to bless gay relationships in about 100 Catholic Churches and other venues in Germany now and forevermore. They are performed as a protest against the Vatican declaration in March, approved by Pope Francis prohibiting the blessing of same sex relationships on the grounds that: GOD CAN NOT BLESS SIN!Real and fundamental Catholic authority regards same sex relationships and especially marriage as: SIN!Ever since the election of Pope Francis in 2013, his Church has contended with deepening divisions between Church conservatives, many of whom are in the United States and Africa and progressive clergy such as those in Germany and elsewhere in Europe who do not wish Church prohibitions against divorce and homosexuality. These divisions, these rifts which may in time lead to a serious schism in the Catholic Church seem to continue to grow for there are apparently tens of thousands of Catholic laity and clergy who want fundamental change in the Church which is now not happening.There is now underway a national synod of German Catholics which is debating a number of changes in the Catholic Church, including the ordination of women, greater roles for lay people in Church governance and the revision of Church teaching on homosexuality among others. No matter biblical admonition, the teachings of the Catholic Church and its storied spiritual history, these rogue Catholic individuals do not respect the apostolic tradition nor do they care about the majority of faithful believers in the UNIVERSAL CHURCH. They seem to be saying that there is no such thing as moral absolutes nor can the Church as presently constituted be the final authority with regard to these new and changing western morals. The Church, they say, adjusts to and compromises with the secular in order to be current and relevant. Though not Catholic, I find this incomprehensible. These men and

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated:“Memorial Day is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion (the Civil War) and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet, church yard in the land.”So it is that the primary purpose of Memorial Day is to strew with flowers literally and figuratively the graves and memories of America’s daring defenders. They the fallen died for freedom, liberty, for America, for us, for YOU AND ME. We were asked to remember those who died in the great American Civil War, but the day to remember now incorporates all who have given lives in defense of our country.Far too many wars, my fellow Americans, and far too many fallen defenders by the millions who believed in America, and in its fundamental principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all mankind. How grateful we should be. We are descendants or contemporaries of patriots, men and women who cherish freedom and were willing to fight and die to defend it if necessary. These warriors lived by the words of Patrick Henry who said:GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.Our nation was formed in the fight for freedom for there was no life worthwhile without it.There came our great Constitution and our incredible BILL OF RIGHTS, the rights and freedom amendments which are the finest in the history of mankind. But no matter the origin, it seems as though in so many ways the passion for freedom may have been lost today as they once had it. We seem to take for granted what they died for. And the courage they the fallen had seems lost today in so many ways and the change in our country, produces in so many ways an America in decline, at least politically, philosophically and certainly passionately. Our ancestors fought for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights and the freedoms those now 27 Amendments allow us. They were ready to die for them, but we the current people allow them to be watered down, interpreted away and often ignored without the fight or conviction to protect and defend them. Perhaps the freedoms of Patrick Henry are giving way to a slow but sure death.Perhaps we have failed to meet the challenge of Ben Franklin who told us that the Republic they created for us was a marvelous way of government IF we could keep it. I wonder if we can. So, in the midst of barbecues and baseball, it is so healthy to look back and remember.Remember a George Washington, a general, a leader, a President, a warrior, a patriot. Or a Paul Revere who rode the land warning that the enemy was coming, sounding the alarm. It seems as though we need more Paul Reveres, warning us that enemies to our Constitution and way of life are coming, and in fact are HERE. We the people should be ever mindful of the threats and sound the alarm as he did, like those who energized our country once before, THE BOSTON TEA PARTY PATRIOTS and the revolution their courageous acts energized and inspired. They took a stand against taxes and so must we. Ours continue to rise, and rise to the point of confiscation and nothing but nothing destroys freedom like taxes. President John Adams reminded us that the two killers of liberty are slavery and debt. The debt of confiscatory taxation strangles freedom and that is happening at an incredibly rapid pace today. Shame on us.It is hard for us to think back and remember the early days in America when slavery, slavery was a way of life in America to our great shame and embarrassment. We the moderns find that inconceivable, and the practice of slavery of any kind abhorrent, do we not? Right-thinking men and women fought and fell to rid America of the scourge of slavery, God bless them.And to rid the world of despots like Hitler, evil to the core, Mussolini and those who in war would destroy the freedom and liberty of all. God bless them.There can hardly be a family anywhere in America which has not laid a son or daughter on the altar of freedom. So many fought and fell, lives given willingly for us in war after war. And there were those who supported those who fought. We honor them. Many of our warriors and defenders came home hurt and damaged in body or mind perhaps for a lifetime. On Memorial Day, we honor these veterans of wars, these HEROES, these wounded warriors who gave us our freedom:WE OWE THEM!A debt we can never repay. To honor them is the least we can do, to thank them as we remember and as we encounter those in our military who follow after them. We should help and support them. They lived and died for what they believed. Whenever I encounter a member of our military, I thank them for what they did and what they do for our great country, for me, and for you, and for my friends and lov

And another one bites the dust! That is, another so called Christian, Evangelical organization caves in, gives up and surrenders to LGBTQ. And that would be: BETHANY CHRISTIAN SERVICES (BCS). This once strong, proud fully Christian organization was one of the nation’s largest Evangelical agencies involved in adoption and foster care. It held strong to Christian principles, including especially the biblical admonition that marriage as sanctioned by God and the real Christian Church was a union between ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN. That definition further extended to the definition of family where there were biblical guidelines for husband and wife, father and mother, family structure, children discipline and behavior from that one man and that one woman. In an incredible act of spiritual compromise, BCS announced they would no longer strictly abide by that biblical admonition. In fact, BETHANY CHRISTIAN SERVICES recently announced that it would now place children in same sex households and with other families identified as LGBTQ, contrary to the direct admonitions of scripture. BCS capitulated, COMPROMISED, and caved in to the angry demands of the NEW NORMAL, the new sexual revolution and its new morality. What a tragedy and what a shame. It should be clear to every real Christian and conservative that this new sexual orthodoxy, which champions gender identity and sexual orientation in all new ways will never be content until every facet of orthodox Christianity is excised, eradicated, ELIMINATED from the public square. These champions of radical, anti–Christian change will use every means possible to make that happen. The affect on those children, once in the tender loving Christian care of Bethany Christian Services will be life long, dramatic and entirely anti–Christian and anti–biblical requirements for child – parent. WHY, the real question is, why did BCS compromise and capitulate. WHY! I can only wonder who on the Board of Directors of BCS were responsible and how before God and man that decision could be justified and explained. If in fact BCS continues to represent themselves as a strong Christian, evangelical organization, that decision is: DEAD WRONG. This new sexual revolution, this new sexual orthodoxy is the heart and soul of the now and once great Democratic Party. Democrats for years have never referred to God whether in party platforms, dialogue, expressed views or political philosophy. In fact, they have not only ignored Christianity but the spiritual in general. Witness the example of House of Representatives Greg Steube, Republican from Florida who stood on the floor of the House of Representatives in late February and read from the bible book of Deuteronomy concerning the difference between male and female. This good man, brave and courageous, withstood a horrendous attack by his Democratic colleagues and in response to the alleged attack on LGBTQ, representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat from New York, a radical, progressive, anti–Christian man in my view, said the following: “What any religious tradition describes as God’s will is no concern of this Congress.” Or, especially the Democrats. It is just simply amazing to me how many Christians vote Democrat when this party and its representatives are as anti–Christian as any in the entire world. Unbelievable. Shame on Bethany Christian Services. But now stands up: CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES (CSS). In 2018, the city of Philadelphia (where I was raised and born) issued an urgent call for help. The city announced and pleaded for 300 additional foster families to adopt what Philadelphia regarded as the “rising crisis of orphaned children.” Up stepped Catholic Social Services to meet the need. Good for them. And of course, one would think that the city would wish to partner with CSS in the hunt to find loving homes for these needy and homeless orphaned children. But, not so said Philadelphia. Only days after pleading for help in the adoption process, the city of Philadelphia and its Mayor James Kenney (a radical, progressive Democrat) froze all referrals of such orphaned children and refused to extend any especially to CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES. This good organization was stunned, as were tens of thousands of Catholics, and Protestants, and people of goodwill regardless of religious belief. STUNNED! Why, Philadelphia, why. The answer was easy. CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES is, said Philadelphia, a bible – bigoted organization. CSS dares to believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Such a belief flies in the face of the new sexual revolution and morality, and of course raises the anger and hostility of LGBTQ. And more. Catholic Social Services dares to believe that children are best served in homes with a: MARRIED FATHER AND MOTHER, ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN. United in holy biblical matrimony. More of a response from LGBTQ and the radical – progressive haters of Christianity and in this case especially Catholic Christianity and like Bethany Christi

In our world, love rules. It is the highest attribute, with fundamental characteristic of all humankind. Perhaps the finest expression of love is: MOTHER LOVE The definition of mother, a real mother is simply put: LOVE A mother’s love is the ultimate human love.It is said that THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE RULES THE WORLD. Perhaps so because so much of a child is formed in the early years by mother. One is in life so much of what a mother was.A real mother is part of the life of a child forever. What we learn at mother’s knee is so often what we are. Her values become ours. We are HER. The egg of a woman is the source of all life, the fundamental stuff of the universe and when fertilized by the sperm of the male: LIFE The most precious thing of all happens. The egg and the sperm unite and become one but it is: GOD Who gives life.At that very moment of conception, the life of a HUMAN BEING begins. That life is not a mere collection of cells as one biologist so flippantly said, but in reality the first moments of the life of a human being, a child on the grow in the womb.That fertilized egg is a BABY.So much for abortion which is nothing more than murder of that baby at any stage in the womb. And so the mother begins mothering, and the baby grows. The enriched womb of the mother nourishes and cherishes the baby, sensitive to every need.The morning sickness is a small price to pay for the life within. Moods and diets may change as the womb grows large and beautiful. It is really wondrous to behold the change of mother in the making with that womb at work. It is marvelous indeed to touch the nine month home of that child. The ear presses down, hoping to hear any sound from the baby.Touching, hearing, kissing, sensing life at work are really more important than any ultrasound. God at work through Mother Nature creating life is wondrous, even miraculous. Some today are actually privileged to see the baby born. Out of the womb comes a bundle of joy, of life and yet another miracle happens.The pain of childbirth is so well worth the end result. Perhaps it is the most loving moment, the ultimate loving moment when brand new baby lays firm on mother’s breasts. Having seen that, how I wonder could any potential mother abort, kill her very own child? To do so is to abort a miracle. Early on, it is the still, small voice of the mother which is perhaps the greatest teacher in life. We the infants hear that voice and remember what the voice of our mother sounds like and says for a lifetime. We do so consciously and perhaps even more importantly subconsciously. That loving voice in many ways is angelic, the early words of love. They come with touch, and they are spiritual, psychological, character forming and building.The love of a mother is every bit as important as food itself. So, in a sense, these early words are eternal for they train up the child in the way the mother wishes the child to go and to grow is not to depart from the right ways of the mother. The words of a mother to her child are melodic, soothing, comforting. They support, encourage and they make a child feel safe.A mother touches, hugs, strokes, talks and sings to her baby, episodes never to be forgotten. When all else fails and all others as well, a truly loving mother never does. She is forever, eternal. A loving mother is kind. In a world rough and confrontational, the kindness of the mother is a most necessary characteristic. A loving mother is never jealous, never envious, always willing to put the child first, in love.A real loving mother is proud of her child no matter what the child becomes.Motherly love is always positive, not negative.It looks for the best, the good and the right. But the mother renders discipline when things are wrong. The love of a real mother is tough love. That love has standards, clear, straight and simply and lovingly communicated. Real love is without compromise. A loving mother never bargains with a child.A mother explains and answers perhaps better than any teacher, helping a child to understand. A mother stretches but never pushes knowing that her child must be challenged in order to grow. There is always demand and discipline from the right mother, both easy to implement when the child knows he or she is: LOVED A loving, Godly mother makes certain her child understands her standards and values and those of God as well. A loving Godly mother teaches the child the things of her Lord. Train up that child in the ways of faith, of Christian faith, the faith of the mother. There is no better witness for the child than a loving Christian mother, living life by those standards and the child along with her. That is faith with works, the best kind. A real loving mother gives time, quality time to the child. There is for mother and child that quality time to talk and much more importantly, and especially for mother, to: LISTEN In an age of cell phones, babysitters, fast foods, carpools and demanding social life, all of that a

When in doubt, blame it on the Jews. Nobody did that better, nobody was more anti–Semitic than the insane Adolf Hitler, theman who singlehandedly destroyed – murdered more than six million Jews for thesimple reason they were Jews. Hitler hated the Jews and history cannot ascertain exactly why. So did Stalin. And Marx and Lenin. And of course, most of the Arab world and right next door to the Holy Land, the Palestinians. Following World War II, it was thought that anti–Semitism may not only be on the wane, but perhaps gone forever. The United Nations voted to restore what is now the land of Israel to the Jews as recompense for the horrific slaughter of their kinsmen and to do the right thing as history required. Jews, the 12 tribes, lived in Israel and regarded that special piece of land as theirs as far back as 3,500 years or more. Now, they are home, the Jews are, in the land rightfully theirs. Israel, and especially its holy capital Jerusalem belonged to the Jews. That land, historically and spiritually, isrightfully theirs. The Lord God Jehovah called Abraham to be special, and from him, a special people would emerge who would be a BLESSING to all nations! They, Abraham seed, would be special, not better but different. They would give to and invest in all humankind, all nations. They would return, go back to and remain forever in THE PROMISED LAND, the land of their fathers. No matter anti–Semitism or its revival, they would never again allow a holocaust to happen. They, true Israelis and Jews would: NEVER FORGET what Hitler and any like him did. And they vowed that the slaughter of their people, Jews the world over would happen: NEVER AGAIN, never again. I have been to Israel nine times. Each time was better than the last. If you have never gone to THE HOLY LAND, you must go, especially if you are Christian or Jewish. YOU MUST. There is no place on Earth like it, none. You will understand history, the world then and now, the Jewish people and for all Christians, the land and the lanes where Jesus walked like no other way. Go, go if you can. Any reasonablerisk is worth it. The contributions and problem solutions which come from this tiny little land of at most some seven million people are absolutely fascinating. The state of Israel has become a technological wonderland. Israeli scientists are brilliant. They are innovators, problem solvers, and determined that its incredible discoveries, inventions and technological marvels benefit the entire world, every nation whether friend or foe. Listen to the miracles, the scientific and medical miracles which come from Israel. Tel Aviv University is developing a nasal vaccine that will protect people fromAlzheimer’s and stroke. Can you believe that? A simple nasal vaccine. There is no curefor Alzheimer’s, but the scientists of Tel Aviv have found a way to protect human beings from this ravishing disease. Incredible. And stroke! Nothing debilitates a humanbeing more than a stroke, and if there can be protection against this horrible happening, God bless the Israelis. Watch for that nasal vaccine. The Technion, Institute of Technology, in Haifa, Israel has developed a simple blood test capable of detecting different types of cancer. A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST! Howincredible it would be to detect this brutal, satanic disease in its early stages and deal with it then and not after the fact with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery as the only alternatives. Early detection of any cancer provides an incredible opportunity for restoration and cure. The Ichlov Center in Tel Aviv isolated a protein that makes colonoscopy unnecessary to detect colon cancer! That can be done, thanks to the Jews, with a simple blood test. A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST! Colon cancer kills about 500,000 people annually and is very readily cured when detected early. This simple blood test will do just that. Thank you Jewish Ichlov Center scientists, thank you. The Given Imaging Laboratory has developed a tiny camera in the form of swallowed pills which transmit thousands of photos of the digestive track. These high quality photos, two per second for eight hours – unbelievable, can detect polyps, cancers and sources of bleeding. These photos are then sent to a chip that stores them and sendsthem to a computer. When this photographic process is completed, the camera is eliminated via the rectum. That simple, that fast, that accurate, that unbelievable! The Hebrew University in Jerusalem developed an electrical neurostimulator that is implanted in the chest of PARKINSON’S PATIENTS. This neurostimulator is similar inmany ways to the pacemaker for the heart. The emissions from this device block the nerve signals that cause tremors. Just incredible, INCREDIBLE! Thank you, Jews,thank you, Israelis, thank you very much. The simple smell of a patient’s breath can detect if a patient has lung cancer. A mere smell of a patient’s breath and lung cancer can be detected. Can you believe that? The Russell Berrie Institute for

“It’s going to take a very long time to deradicalize these people.”Those are the words, a very quote from Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez, the infamous AOC, and THESE PEOPLE are: WE THE PEOPLE!Also known as the DEPLORABLES, thanks to the also infamous Hillary Clinton.The radicals that need to be deradicalized are those who dared to vote for Trump, and other Republicans, and other conservatives whether federal, state or local. They, more than 75,000,000 of these people, are wrong, radical, hateful, of course hateful, so many of whom are PEOPLE OF FAITH including Christian, Jew and Muslim among others and they – we need to be reprogrammed, deradicalized, subservient to them, our new radical – progressive – democratic rulers and just flat out get out of the way or get out, of America. THESE PEOPLE are also affectionately referred to by these new radical – socialists, many of whom are Marxist as Nazis. Anyone who disagrees with them is like Hitler and his ilk, so they think and say. THESE PEOPLE, so many of them you and me, are also white supremacists. We are all lumped together, more than one hundred million conservative Americans, the clear majority whether they vote or not, as HATING people of color, any person not white. We the people, the loyal Americans, the constitutional and law–abiding Americans are also labeled as domestic terrorists, witness they say the mob attack on the Capitol buildings in early January 2021. By implication, all of us were behind that or at least approved of such violent action. And of course, if you in any way supported or voted for President Donald John Trump in November 2020, you and I were the worst of the worst. Trump for them was the chief radical, domestic terrorist, Nazi, white supremacist, the baddest of the bad. These radical, progressive Democrats hated Trump, hated him with a passion and by extension, all who supported, believed in or voted for him. If, my fellow Americans, you are conservative so called, or an American traditionalist which means a strong belief in the Constitution and the rule of law, and you respect American history, education, and the judicial system and our democratic way of life, and most importantly, our INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, you (and I) are the enemy. We are to be deradicalized or we are to be eliminated from the political arena. They, these radical, progressive, anti–American socialists and even Marxists are determined to: RULE US.The Crawford Stand began in 1992. Many said then and do now – today that such political commentary had no place on Christian radio stations. Obviously, we the Crawford Broadcasting Company disagreed. There was perhaps a time in America when there may have been a healthy separation between politics and religion. But not today. Morality, especially in a Christian sense, is challenged more than ever. First Amendment freedoms, especially freedom of religion, is under attack daily. Abortion, the killing of babies, has never been more widespread. The radical gay agenda attacks everywhere it possibly can. Euthanasia spreads. Respect for law and order and with it the Judeo – Christian ten commandments disappears or is ignored. Churches are closed. Governors wreak havoc. The Congress of the United States becomes more impotent by the day. Education is deprogramed and radicalized. The media is fully biased and totally corrupt. Hollywood and sports have morphed into public relations machines for radical and anti–conservatives. So that, there is now no separation between the political and the spiritual, NONE WHATSOEVER. We therefore have no choice, NO CHOICE but to: FIGHT THE FIGHT OF FAITH.Not with weapons and violence. But with dialogue, stand up, resisting evil and the devil wherever we can, and doing everything peacefully possible to preserve, protect and defend our freedoms and inalienable rights, and especially our right to worship and testify. And that we will do, and that THIS STAND will always do. WOKE is the four–letter word of the day. It really doesn’t mean a new enlightenment, but rather the intellectual, political, cultural and social extinguishing of the old and dear. It is a radical reconstruction of America by any means necessary. It aims for nothing less than complete control of our great country and the end of any political power for the deplorables, the conservatives, the Trump–ites. It is a constitutional disease which spreads like Covid and the freedoms we enjoy are only one generation away from being extinguished, and this generation is upon us. No matter the criticism, and there is more of it than ever, this company, the Crawford Broadcasting Company will stand firm for what our beloved America should be and we will never back down for anyone, no matter the penalty or cost. If you, if we the people, if we the true Americans don’t stand up now, our freedoms will be lost, and lost forever. This company, the Crawford Broadcasting Company will fight that fight now and forevermore. Then comes the mouth of Ka

The Founding Fathers of the United States of America, the authors of our beloved and beautiful Constitution of the United States feared the federal government. Greatly feared the potential for power abuse by any newly formed federal government.They were determined, these Founding Fathers were, to preserve the authority, autonomy and integrity of the 13 states responsible for determining how a federal, a central source of governmental power would work. Every delegate to the Philadelphia convention came armed and prepared to defend the sovereignty of that state. They would not give up power lightly nor would they allow any central body, any brand new government to usurp the powers, the freedoms, the rights of any of the 13 sovereign states. This new central governmental body would be restricted in powers. It would only have certain rights which were clearly spelled out. It was not legally allowed, this new government, to go beyond those limits and where the Constitution ended those rights and powers, those of the states would remain unadulterated, inalienable, superseding the powers of the federal government. The formulation of such a document, enumerating, explaining, limiting was even more important than the rights and powers granted. The United States of America was then 13 states only, with more to come. But the 13 states were the supreme check and balance. And that was the heart and soul of Federalism. So the Founders constructed the IX and X amendments to the Constitution to make it very clear to the Clintons, Bush’s, Obamas, Trumps and Bidens of the world, politicians bent on power and the exercise thereof how this balance of rights and powers of states and the federal government would work. The Founders told politicians and the people then in Amendment IX that the rights granted to this new federal government cannot be construed (interpreted), enlarged, added on so as to encroach upon all the other rights which were not specifically granted to the federal government but fully retained by the people, WE THE PEOPLE. In short, federal government, Washington D.C., if we don’t grant you the specific rights, all other inalienable rights belong to us. Don’t go there. And, the Founding Fathers and amendment X dealt with powers not specifically delegated. So, federal government said the Founding Fathers, if we don’t specifically, clearly and in detail delegate certain powers to you, you can’t go there. THOSE POWERS ARE RESERVED FOR THE STATES AND THE PEOPLE!No matter the Constitution, the federal government has become a rights and powers monster. It has little regard for Federalism. Where there were once 13 states, now there are 50. But the federal government tramples on the inalienable rights and powers of those 50 states however it wishes. It encroaches, ignores and daily grabs more and more power, and daily restricts or even eliminates certain rights of the people NO MATTER THE CONSTITUTION! WE THE PEOPLE see that happening every day and for the most part, we do little about it. We watch this power hungry governmental monster and we do little about the fact that our rights, once thought to be inalienable, crumble by the day. States become more impotent, irrelevant, ignored in the power struggle and America changes, radically changes so that 545 people out of 330 million, a House of Representatives, a United States Senate, nine Supreme Court Justices and the President rule, don’t represent, but radically rule WE THE 330 MILLION CITIZENS OF THE ONCE GREAT UNITED STATES. This federal government cements its power day by day. So many of the House of Representatives 435 members are never heard from. They seem powerless. U.S. Senators are beholden to party leaders and are rendered powerless unless they comply. A President comes to office with promises of performance with no intention at all. Supreme Court Justices are appointed essentially with regard to how they would interpret the Constitution and apply the law. Some are faithful but others once appointed change (i.e. Chief Justice John Roberts). Once appointed, in office, it is virtually impossible to remove them. We the people are STUCK with them, the House for two years, the President for four years, the Senate for six, and the nine Justices of the Supreme Court FOR LIFE. So much for democracy, dying by the day. The answer: the return and the revival of power and control to the states and the people. President Ronald Reagan gave us the answer: GET GOVERNMENT OFF PEOPLE’S BACKS!The answer is to make certain that ultimate powers do not reside in any one form of government but are divided and shared. Here the words of President Thomas Jefferson who said:“It is by dividing and subdividing these republics from the great National one down thru’ all its subordinates, until it ends in the administration of every man’s farm and affairs by himself; by placing under everyone what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best.”Divide, and subdivide and

HE IS RISEN!Haven’t forgotten that, have you? Just because we celebrated Easter and the Easter message of resurrection even though virtual Sunday, April 4, I just can’t let you and me ever forget that. It’s not just April 4, it’s every day of 12 MONTHS. HE is the only man who ever triumphed over death and the grave, none before Him and none since. THE ONLY ONE! That resurrection, that bodily resurrection, that ascension, that VERIFIED – WITNESSED resurrection and ascension is crucial, pivotal, revolutionary, life changing, essential and indispensable to the belief of every Christian. Morning, noon and night, every day of all 365, the living, resurrected Christ LIVES within the hearts of every Christian believer. And every believer, the Christ has promised, will live with Him now, in this life, and in the life WITH HIM to come. Incredible, is it not? Wonderful, glorious, jubilant, to every believer. But to the natural man: FOOLISHNESS, Absolute and altogether foolishness. It is absolutely ridiculous, says a natural man, an atheist or agnostic, that a mere human being, a carpenter from Nazareth no less, who came from dust and shall return to dust as the scriptures say should rise from the dead. It is just simply not possible. And of course, the myth of the resurrection and the myth of the virgin birth and even for many the myth of the crucifixion all are nothing more than fairytales or as the scriptures say IDLE tales. One can readily see how a natural man, one not drawn by THE HOLY SPIRIT, with eyes closed and ears blocked would scoff, mock and ridicule the EASTER story. If you want, as physicist and astronomer Steven Hawkins would say to believe in a myth of fairytale, that is your right. But the world of science, says Hawkins, astronomy and the so called reason and rationality of the mind dismiss a resurrection possibility out of hand. It didn’t happen, says Hawkins. IT CAN’T HAPPEN!And, to that, the Apostle Paul says if in fact the resurrection did not happen, then: YOUR FAITH IS IN VAIN.Worthless. No better than any other belief system, if even that. If Christ be not risen, any professing believer is not only deceived but becomes him or herself a DECEIVER. Such a believer testifies to a lie, perhaps the biggest lie in all of human history and consequently, becomes a conspirator in the spread of evil and duplicity. So that, not only is the believer’s faith in vain, but the guilt of the false belief of others lies upon him or her as well. When you or I profess to be Christian, we must therefore champion the resurrection with all of our heart, soul and mind. There can be no doubt. NONE! Perhaps that is why the nonbeliever dislikes, even hates Christianity and as a consequence the Christians who follow it. Nonbelievers hate the concept of sin. They see no need for forgiveness. They deeply resent the demands of Christianity and the Christ who boldly proclaims: NO MAN OR WOMAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME!Nonbelievers hate that demand, that exclusivity. For it rules out everything else, every other form of belief, in fact every other religion. The crucifixion at Golgotha was merely the death of one man, perhaps even justified. The man who died was a revolutionary, a seditionist, constantly conspiring to get THE PEOPLE to resist and rebel against Rome, the political system, Herod and Pilot on the one hand and the religious authorities, the Pharisees and Sadducees on the other. And he even admitted he came to stir up trouble, to turn one family member against another. He called Herod the Tetrarch of Rome a FOX, cunning, deceiving and lying. The religious establishment despised him because he referred to them over and again as nothing more than hypocrites, or whited sepulchers, empty inside. If any mere man deserved to die, and die in an excruciating way, it was this mirror man Jesus of Nazareth. It was with HIM then as it is now love or hate. You embraced him, believed in him, gave him your all. Or you despised, even hated him nothing more than a rebel or rabble rouser, deluded, even perhaps insane a man in no way to be taken seriously. WITH OR AGAINST. And, written off by Him who again boldly even arrogantly stated: HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.The world, the secularists, the natural men and women accommodate Christianity one weekend, three days each year. From Good Friday through resurrection Sunday, those who believe in fairytales are allowed their celebration. But then comes Monday and it is back to business as usual, criticizing Christianity, attempting at every hand to get Christians, Christian beliefs and Christianity out of the public square, out of the marketplace, confined if at all possible to the four walls of a church. They are determined, these rabid, progressive secularists to curtail or eliminate Christian witness, any form of evangelism for they the enemy have determined that all Christian speech is:HATE SPEECH. They are determined to destroy, eliminate any form of testimony, any messag

Do you believe that the Resurrection happened? That a man, Jesus of Nazareth, actually rose from the dead, do you? We celebrate this unnatural, God – motivated event, the greatest in human history next week. But again, do you actually believe that this Resurrection, physically, bodily actually happened.The Apostle Paul says that if you do not believe, then your faith is in vain. That is, if this Resurrection never really happened, Christianity is predicated on a false premise, no better than any other so called religion and in fact maybe worse. Unless Jesus Christ rose from the dead, He was no more than a good moral teacher, and perhaps more magician than miracle worker and by no means the Savior of the World. Again, the words of the Apostle Paul:IF CHRIST BE NOT RISENYOUR FAITH IS IN VAINBut he did. So we believe, and in fact base our lives, our future fortunes on this miraculous event. But Christian faith is based on: THE EMPTY TOMB.Witnesses saw him. They touched him. They heard him speak. They dined with him, another supper after THE LAST SUPPER. They listened to him, heard his voice and believed. They saw an ascension. They felt the power of God the Father in his person. And if ever there was doubt, it was gone. And all who believed could say with the Apostle Paul: FOR ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST!The power of this Resurrection consumed them, became them and out they went to testify, to witness, boldly proclaim, never the same again and wishing the same for others. The power of the resurrected Christ, the coming of the Holy Spirit produced a movement among mankind never before and never like it again. They went, these empowered believers: INTO ALL THE WORLD TO PREACH THIS GOSPELto the Jew first and then to the Gentile. But to all men and women everywhere. But think of this man, this carpenter from Nazareth whose ministry was a short some three years before his Crucifixion. He was a worker of MIRACLES. He, the God – man, was possessed with power over nature. He commanded the seas, he raised the dead, he healed the sick, he restored sight but all of that, miraculous as it may be, was not enough.He was a great teacher, endowed with divine wisdom. His teachings, those parables would live ‘til the end of time. He brought a special divine wisdom. But that was not enough. He introduced a new social order. John the Baptist came fasting but HE came eating and drinking. He came that our joy, the happiness of the new believer should be full. That life in HIM should be merry, abundant for the earth was his and he gave it to us. But that was not enough. Some who came before him did these things. And so, for him to be special, one-of-a-kind, GOD WITH US, there came the trial by heathen men. Then came THE CRUCIFIXION, that horrible, brutal, excruciatingly painful death on the cross and the shedding of all that innocent blood. There had to come that event of NO GREATER LOVE. For we were taught in that Crucifixion that there is no greater love than that a man or a woman should lay down his or her life for someone else, for a friend. THAT WAS NECESSARY, the shedding of the blood of this innocent man for the REMISSION of all sin. The Crucifixion, this supreme redemptive act was absolutely necessary for without it, all that HE was or did was not enough. The blood of a sinless man must be shed in remission of the sins of sinful men.Even he, on that cross, felt forsaken even as we at times do. But this radical, lifechanging event was absolutely necessary in order to change the course of human history, to change the nature of all mankind. Think of all that the next time you partake of the wine and the bread. I often wonder about this man, this carpenter from Nazareth. Sinless was he, so we are told and believe, but a man nonetheless. I wonder about his humanity, what he looked like, how he acted, his personality, his ability to laugh and cry. We know he wept but we can only assume he laughed, because he loved the joy of life. We know his heavy heart and enlightened mind, his teachings serious and weighty. But surely he laughed, saw the humor in life and in mankind for his teaching parables can often be ironic or even sardonic. We can perhaps believe that even as he loved mankind, surely he laughed at their hypocrisy and pretenses. Was he, I wonder, subject to headaches, or on occasion a stomach upset. Surely he was tired. We were told he could be angry which means he ran the gamut of human emotions. I wonder how often he bathed or who may have trimmed his hair. I wonder how he prayed in all those private moments when he was alone with his FATHER. I would trade any of the four gospels for a recording of his thoughts and words in private, with his disciples, in prayer, comments on sunsets, or howling winds, or even the sporting events of the time. How wonderful it would be to know more about this MAN, this carpenter from Nazareth who was crucified for the sins of the world. But then he died. And the earth shook. The sun hid its face.

Are you a racist? Are you?Think about it. Does any form of racism exist in your life, anywhere? Have you experienced this disease, this hatred at work, in your personal or professional lives, have you? And, has racism of any kind been experienced by your children, or young children you know especially in school, in education, any kind, anywhere? Sadly, for America, for we the people, and for we the people of faith, the vast majority of whom are people of good will, fair minded and believe that all men and women are created equal, we are forced to deal with racism as never before. The concept, the disease now permeates our educational systems, tragically so. BLACK LIVES MATTER has now taken over our constitutional requirement that ALL LIVES MATTER. And the spokespersons for this new, radical Reverse Racism now begin to dominate so much of our culture, our government and most especially, our EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS. Many are aggressive, assertive, angry and make no effort for reconciliation, peace and harmony between the races. They are intent to capture the hearts and minds of the young, and consequently, in due course, change society that way. The young will be the ambassadors of the new culture, the new dogma, the new dictates of angry, Marxist blacks and WOKE WHITES who are determined to rid our society of its WHITENESS and all the evils inherent therein. If you are white, be ready for the attack, especially in the world of education.Marxists like Stalin and Lenin, and dictators like Hitler knew how critical it was to control education. Let me, said Hitler, train the minds of the young and they will be Nazis forever. Give me, said the Russian Marxists, a child at the age of four and that child will be communist – Marxist forever. And that is the goal of the revolutionaries, the radicals, the so called progressives (what a joke) for American education, for our young. The ultimate goal of so many of these radicals is to turn the young and in time, all of America to socialism and Marxism. It is naïve to think about what is happening in America in any other way. You and I, my fellow Americans, conservatives and Christians need to know, and stand up but more importantly: DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NEW REVERSE RACISM!The once great state of Illinois has taken the lead among all of the states in indoctrinating public school students in what is termed: ULTRA–WOKENESS.This new and advanced, extreme form of WOKE is fully grounded in Neo–Marxist: CRITICAL RACE THEORY, which is spreading nationwide and faster by the day, so says Stanley Kurtz, a strong patriot working and writing for WATCH ILLINOIS. The aim of these new radical educators is to DECONSTRUCT the existing educational systems, priorities, beliefs and values and to reconstruct all things educational on a brand new model, a Neo–Marxist model to be sure. Much of our history, our American history will be rewritten or eliminated. For example, the 1619 PROJECT which claims that America was built on the backs of slave labor now replaces much of real and factual American history and is spreading nationwide. But this and much more is happening in the once great state of Illinois where, writer Kurtz states that in Illinois: “That is where woke has gone for broke, and America may soon pay the price.”These new educational theories, fostered in large measure by BLACK LIVES MATTER, itself founded in much of Marxism, is forcing third graders to “deconstruct their racial identities” and rank themselves by: POWER AND PRIVILEGE.In short, this now new ULTRA–WOKENESS goes farther and deeper into systemic racism, fosters this new CRITICAL RACE THEORY and in addition to SYSTEMIC RACISM, focuses in school on the concept of: MARGINALIZATIONwhere minorities, and especially Blacks, live on the edges of society and never are able to achieve integration or any part of the American Dream. They completely ignore the fact that some of the wealthiest and most influential people in our society are Black, especially in the world of athletics, entertainment and now ever growing at the core of American business itself. But they are determined, these educators radical, ultra–woke and even Marxist to: GO FOR BROKEespecially in the world of education. Writer Stanley Kurtz of WATCH ILLINOIS states in a most learned article that the state of Illinois is about to mandate that all its licensed teachers adopt: PROGRESSIVE POLITICAL ORTHODOXY and impart this new ideology to all of its students. And more and perhaps an even greater problem. The state of Illinois has laid the ground work for this assault on our beloved CONSTITUTION by enacting a civics law that forces teachers to discuss current political controversies in class and more, compels them to organize adventures in:ACTION CIVICS. That is, student protests, lobbying for gun control, demanding climate change, working for The Green New Deal and the end of fossil fuels and much more. These new educational requirements are, says Kurtz, transparent atte

Are you a racist? I ask a serious question, are you?If you are white, however you define the color of the skin white, you are according to BLACK LIVES MATTER and millions of others, black and white. Most people, most white people would answer that question with a resounding NO – I AM NOT A RACIST. The vast majority of people, and Americans right thinking, fair minded and honest cannot judge any person by the color of the skin. Rather, as Dr. Martin Luther King would say, by the content of the person’s character. But according to BLACK LIVES MATTER founders, three black ladies Marxist–trained, if you are white, you are racist whether you know it or not! That is, whether or not you practice racism. For, to be born white is to be born genetically SYSTEMIC RACIST, whatever that means. If you are born white, you are born with a systemic, perhaps genetic antipathy for black people. In my view, nothing is more racist than such accusations, NOTHING! It matters not, says BLACK LIVES MATTER members and spokespersons, whether or not you are conscious of your racism. If you are, and you are racist, of course you know that. But even if you think you are not racist, or perhaps never even really think about racism as such, you are still, they say, racist subconsciously. It is there, this hatred of another race whether you know it or not! SYSTEMIC RACISM. What a bunch of poppycock. Those who espouse this hatred, this BLACK LIVES MATTER stuff are themselves HATEFUL RACISTS! Tragically, this thinking, this spread of racial hatred permeates now so much of our educational system. There is what is known as the NEW PEDAGOGIES, new teaching priorities, a new way of educating the young about their inherent, systemic racism especially if they are white. There is the spread across American education from kindergarten through 12th grade, and especially in colleges and universities of what Fatima Morell, she the Director of the Office of CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY RESPONSIBLE INITIATIVES calls the requirement of culturally responsive teaching. No matter reading, writing and arithmetic, racism is priority one and all teachers must culturally respond accordingly. This Morell terms as well the: PEDAGOGY OF LIBERATION.She claims, for the Buffalo public school systems and hopefully all others, that such instructional strategies are EQUITY BASED and justify a complete revision, THE COMPELTE EMANCIPATION of Buffalo public school curricula. In short, fourth grader, you are racist whether you know it or not and you ought to get about the business of cleansing that racism from your system. Morell like so many others summarizes all of this new racism in one word: WOKE!Fatima Morell is the architect of the new racism, the attack on whites and perhaps all non–Blacks in Western New York. It is there and at least in some ways, everywhere.Right thinking people, many of whom are Christian including white, Hispanic (so called brown), yellow – Asian or any other non–Black color should be shocked at the accusations of Morell and all like her that all such are RACISTS and in need of recognition of such followed by full atonement for those cultural sins. But the vast majority, VAST MAJORITY of these accused are not the least bit racist. They regard all men, all people no matter the color as equal, especially under our Constitution. They are not prejudiced, hateful, biased against blacks or any other person of different skin color. They believe, unlike much of BLACK LIVES MATTER that all human beings matter and that all human beings are created equal. Christians believe that all men and women are Gods creations, they matter to HIM and all who believe will one day be together, really together and with him no matter the color of the skin. That is fact, truth but that matters not to Morell, or BLACK LIVES MATTER or all other WOKE individuals who have become culturally responsive and champions of: THE NEW RACISM. The new hatred of the woke Blacks against whites and all like them. In the Buffalo public schools, Fatima Morell and her associates have created a new curriculum promoting BLACK LIVES MATTER, no matter that the organization and the founders have strong Marxist ties. Teachers are required to engage in ANTI RACIST training programs which promotes radical politics and as one anonymous Buffalo public school teacher said:“A series of scoldings, guilt trips and demands to demean oneself simply to make another feel empowered.”This teacher went on to state that these “manipulative mind games” must be adopted by all, expressing support for Morell’s left–wing politics or “risk professional retaliation.” Reverse and hateful racism, black against white, don’t you think? The fundamental assumption is that all Americans are guilty of “implicit racial bias.” What an absolute bunch of nonsense.I AM NOT A RACIST. Not in any way. I state that emphatically and clearly. That is so in my personal and professional life. You may find it interesting that the majority of th

Do you believe in prayer? That is, do you believe that prayer works, and works wonders, do you? If you pray, and make your requests known to God the Father, do you believe that HE will answer, do you? If you pray that President Biden will see the light and turn from his non–scriptural, non–Christian ways as he champions abortion, the gay agenda, euthanasia and more, if you pray that Biden will be convicted and transformed by the Holy Spirit, do you believe, REALLY BELIEVE that will happen, that God will answer and change the mind and heart of perhaps the most powerful man in the world, do you?Of course, God the Father can do anything, ANYTHING. Our God is the Creator of all things, all peoples. The earth is the LORD’S and whatever his will, that you may be sure will be done. His will, his timing and his ways may not be our ways but we can be certain what he wants will happen. Dare we ask that if we ask of God what seems to us to be right and it doesn’t happen, dare we ask that God is not listening, eternally silent and not paying attention to us his creations, his children? Dare we ask that.David did. In the pslams, David became frustrated time and again asking the God of Abraham: ARE YOU LISTENING?Do you hear me. Why do you not answer me. I am your child and I call upon you time and time again, I wait patiently for your answer and it seems never to come. WHY? Why do you not answer me, oh God, why? What a question, perhaps the most fundamental question any Christian can ask. We pray for evil ways and things to end but they continue. Why? We pray that Democrats like Pelosi, and Schumer, and Tlaib, and AOC will recognize the evil of abortion, become convicted by the Holy Spirit but it never happens. The mystery of EVIL has puzzled, confused and even conflicted the very best of the saints. Billy Graham was once asked why, if God was good, holy, just and right, and LOVING, was there evil in the world and so much of it. WHY? Graham, honest to the core as he was admitted that he did not understand and did not know why. Evil was perhaps for him, and is for us, the most confusing, difficult to accept NON–ANSWER to what we regard as our fervent and sincere prayers.Christians, our brothers and sisters, are slaughtered everyday the world over. Churches are bombed. Children are kidnapped and sold into slavery. Sexual slavery. The world and much of our government turns its back on the problem, this evil at work. Weapons of mass destruction continue to be produced. Armies are modernized and ready for warfare. Nation rises up against nation, and the anti–religionists proliferate and predominate. Poverty and plague increase, evil to the core. And, perhaps this is only the beginning of the end times, ONLY THE BEGINNING. Why, why we ask oh Lord? We ASK, Father God and so often without answer. We SEEK your will, DIVINE ANSWERS and so often they do not come. We KNOCK and even though the door, that spiritual door to YOU for the price of your will and grace is promised by you to be opened, abortion continues and the answer, the divine solution to that problem never seems to occur. WHY, why we ask do you allow that?When divine answers do not come, when the ways of evil politicians continue and only grow worse, many begin to not believe in prayer, the power and efficacy of prayer. It just doesn’t work, the doubters say, for Pelosi will never change her ways and will always champion abortion. The skeptic says that God either is not listening or doesn’t care. That divine silence becomes a serious problem, and a real hindrance to faith, especially the faith of the fragile. And yet, prayer is the only way, our only access, the only medium, the only communication method between us and HIM. Without that, there is nothing but silence, void, and without PRAYER, there is no means to express our joy, our thankfulness, gratitude, our feelings from the deepest recesses of our hearts and souls. We cling as Christians to the promise that: PRAYER WORKS WONDERS.And we believe that even though so often we do not see that. We pray for America. We pray that God will lead, guide and direct and that our God will: BLESS AMERICA.We continue to ask for divine favor but so often our prayers for things secular seem to go unanswered. Why, we say with David, why oh Lord? ARE YOU LISTENING? Do you hear me, says David? We see America rotting spiritually, immorality at every turn, destruction of all things religious, and the free speech of Christian testimony gradually done away with. And we ask for divine help, intervention to put a stop to this EVIL and it only seems to increase. And so, as doubt occurs, we are simply left with that most perplexing of questions: WHY?But there are terms and conditions to answered prayer. We are told in the Old Testament that God will not hear, nor will God answer unless we the people approach him in HUMILITY. Are you humble when you pray? And we are called upon to pray sincerely, earnestly, and continuously. Do we do that? Do

IT IS THE FIRST FREEDOM!The first freedom of the First Amendment to the greatest document ever created by mankind, the American Constitution!So many think that RELIGION in the First Amendment is all about the FREEDOM of religion. Actually, there are two parts, very significant parts to this most important, constitutionally prioritized freedom of religion. The first is the matter of: ESTABLISHMENT.Congress, these precious First Amendment words say so clearly, “shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” In short, Congress cannot engage in legislation, cannot create any law or part thereof which in any way establishes, orders or legally requires a religion OR ANY PART THEREOF! Nothing Congress, House and Senate, NOTHING! Hands off you 535 elected Representatives of WE THE PEOPLE, STAY OUT OF RELIGION ALTOGETHER! But inevitably, the Congress does in fact get involved and makes laws, direct or indirect, in whole or in part. For example, the Catholic Church and much of the Christian church generally is against the use of contraceptives and in fact birth control. But Congress, in the form of the nefarious OBAMACARE required full coverage of contraceptives by all as any form of insurance, health or medical was formulated. THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR, determined to protect Catholic rights, rituals and principles fought the Congress, and then President Barack Hussein Obama, the author of Obamacare, accusing them of meddling with religious doctrine and principle, and establishing the demand that contraceptives and birth control be covered by insurance. In that limited but important way, Congress made a law which established the religious principle and as such, clearly violated the Constitution, so said the Little Sisters of the Poor. The Supreme Court agreed! But there is more to come as the two sides battle, the aggressive, angry, anti–religionists on the one hand and those who unabashedly stand for what they honestly believe is a sincere and vitally important religious principle. This aggressive, Democrat – progressive controlled Congress, House and Senate will begin, in the next four years to trample upon religious rights and freedoms and establish as much secularity as possible. Don’t let them do it my fellow Americans, DON’T LET THEM DO IT! In their maniacal attempt to do away with as much religion as possible, as a critical part of the new CANCEL CULTURE secular movement, you can be sure that this Congress, aided and abetted by their President will do as much as is constitutionally possible to: PROHIBIT THE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGIONand that is the second part of the protections which the First Amendment and our beloved Constitution granted unequivocally and unconditionally to us WE THE PEOPLE in that First Amendment. Obama, when he was President, attempted to do just that. Obama and his ilk fought to interpret the FREE EXERCISE CLAUSE OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT so that what it really meant was that there would be the freedom of WORSHIP but not the broad freedom of exercise which the Founding Fathers envisioned. In short, worship and believe as you will between the four walls of a Church but not in public, not in the public square, not in the marketplace. That of course was a clear violation of the First Amendment and the right of free exercise and so, when litigated, the various courts and even the Supreme Court have found. We the believers, Christians in our case, have the right, the unbridled and unabridged right to testify to our faith anywhere at any time. We can stand on street corners and pass out tracks. We can ticket and boycott abortion clinics. We can gather together publicly for prayer and worship, and singing, and praise to our Lord, ANYWHERE, anywhere in the entire United States of America, ANYWHERE! That freedom of religion and its exercise must be unbridled, unabridged, unfettered, inviable. And only we the people can make sure that happens. This House and Senate and this President will begin to do all they can to rid the public square and eventually, our entire country of the free exercise of religion. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN MY FELLOW AMERICANS! DON’T LET IT HAPPEN.Watch for other ways in which this Congress will attempt to restrict, abridge, and otherwise negatively impact (CANCEL RELIGIOUS CULTURE) through illegal, unconstitutional legislation.There is a strong secular movement to do away with TAX EXEMPTION for religious entities, including and especially Churches. The financial health of any religious organization is built upon the fact that contributions can be made to such a ministry, tax exempt to it, and tax deductible by the giver. Watch, in the next Biden progressive four years, for legislation or legislative movement to accomplish that. Congress and the states now have political experience with so called EMERGENCY RESTRICTIONS on the right to peaceably assemble, another significant part of the First Amendment freedoms. Congregation worship can be shut down or significantly

Ready for the fight, of faith that is? Are you?You better be ready for THE FIGHT IS ON. It is here, now, HAPPENING! The soldiers of the CROSS are now called upon to do battle with the soldiers of SATAN. You have no choice, my fellow Christians, and in fact all people of faith but to become an active participant in: THE FIGHT OF FAITH.This fight is different. It is spiritual. The weapons are different, completely different in this spiritual warfare. They are not nuclear. The weapons are not guided missiles. They are not the latest guns or ammunition. Or germ warfare. These are the weapons of the satanic, weapons that kill and destroy. The weapons used by Christians and people of faith do not kill. These spiritual weapons are: NON–VIOLENT.Spiritual weapons do not kill but they are used to foster LIFE, and life more abundantly. They are designed not only to neutralize the enemy, but to restore and return that enemy, the avowed enemy of the Christ of Glory to real life, a life of love and joy. These spiritual weapons are the exact opposite of military killing machines. Non–violent are they, because: VIOLENCE ONLY BEGETS MORE VIOLENCE!In fact, as the Christian prepares for spiritual warfare, the soldiers of the cross first come humbly before the Lord, seeking the strength, endurance and wisdom of God Almighty.This Christian warrior then prays unceasingly and incessantly that he or she may know the WILL OF GOD and pursue it passionately and lovingly.This Christian soldier is earnest in prayer, determined no matter what the solider encounters to lead a Godly life and respond accordingly in all circumstances. This non–violent, Christian solider of the cross is STRONG IN THE LORD, adopting the power of HIS might. No secular, satanic force can match it, NONE!We the soldiers of the cross then: PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD.It is only with this armor that we can stand against the wiles of the devil, the hateful, anti–Christian at work. Ordinary military weapons are useless in this battle for the real battle is the weapon against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness and not against: FLESH AND BLOOD.So says the Apostle Paul.When we adopt and implement this kind of strategic warfare, this spiritual warfare, this non–violent warfare, the captain of our spiritual battalions is none other than THE CHRIST OF GLORY. And if HE is for us, with us, leading us, commanding us what to do: WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?No one, NO ONE! We then, my fellow Christians, take on and adopt as our primary weapon: THE SWORD OF THE SPIRITand that is: THE WORD OF GOD.Scripture, the bible, the inerrant word of the Lord. It is our master plan, our strategy and we follow its directions to the letter of the law. NO NUCLEAR WEAPON CAN STAND AGAINST THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, none. That master military gameplan is laid out brilliantly and beautifully by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 10 through 20. Read and study these powerful words for no enemy can stand against these spiritual strategies. STAND, says the captain of our spiritual forces, STAND. Don’t back down. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be intimidated. STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. In fact, resist that devil, resist any attempt by anyone to challenge your faith, prevent you from worshipping, testifying and speaking to the glory of the Lord witnessing to others. You have upon you: THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD.Therefore, resist, rebuke and reply to the spiritual enemy with the truth of the WORD OF GOD. When you do, you win. When you don’t, you lose!Put on, says Paul in Ephesians 6:14 THE BELT OF TRUTH. The belt of the soldier of old was the foundation of his armor, holding his sword and his breastplate. The evil one, the satanic other side are the champions of THE LIE. They foster the new day and age of POST TRUTH. Truth is relevant and only that which is true is that which serves an ultimate, often evil objective and purpose. The Christian warrior wears THE BELT OF TRUTH. Then, says Paul, we put on: THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESSthat guards the heart. It protects the spiritual life of the believer. The love of Christ is the only thing that can change that heart, nothing else.Then, our feet are: PROTECTED BY THE GOSPEL OF PEACE.In olden days, soldiers wore heavy, protective, armored sandals in the heat of battle. Therefore, we the Christians stand strong as the enemy rages, fully protected by the Gospel of peace. Then says Paul, you solider of the cross carry well: THE SHIELD OF FAITH.That enables the solider of the cross to deflect the wiles, the darts, the weapons of the enemy. And then, we put on: THE HELMET OF SALVATION.Our head, Christian solider, is well protected, so that nothing enters our thinking of and the knowledge of Christian truth, of its love and compassion for all human kind. So that, we always THINK ON THESE THINGS, Christian truths and the fundamental, basic, authentic things of the Gospel, nothing else.And finally, says the Apostle P

The greatest of all things is LOVE.The greatest, confirmed by the Apostle Paul of old, and agreed upon by the world’s greatest thinkers, artists and poets is:LOVELove is the best, even says Paul better than faith or hope.The Bible book 1 Corinthians 13 is Apostle Paul’s finest expressions of love by far, perhaps the finest writings in all of his letters. But even Paul acknowledges that there is no really complete and definitive definition of love. But Paul says what real love, ultimate love is, can only occur as a result of a meaningful, experiential, loving relationship with God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ. The fulfillment of that comes eternally, but here and now, the longer, the deeper the relationship with HIM, the more the meaning of love becomes clear. That, says Paul, that relational love is ultimate reality.Love is good. In fact, good is defined by love. For no mere mortal can do good without love. One may intend, willingly so to live right, perhaps following the Ten Commandments and other great moral precepts. But that mere intention, the act of the will is not enough for it lacks the energy, the conviction, the power of real LOVE, total love.For as one poet has said:GOD SAYS TO US IN LOVE: I HOLD YOU IN MY MIND. I REMEMBER YOU. I HOLD ALL OF THE PIECES OF YOU. THE PAST WOUNDS AND THE PRESENT. AND IN LOVE, I KNIT THEM TOGETHER INTO THE PERSON I LOVE, THE PERSON I CREATED TO GIVE ME JOY:YOUMore. Love says Paul is patient. Love is longsuffering, not easily provoked. Love knows how to wait, fully observe, and listen, perhaps most importantly LISTEN. Love sees and hears the other. As the poet Thomas Merton said:THE BEGINNING OF LOVE IS TO LET THOSE WHO LOVE BE PERFECTLY THEMSELVES, AND NOT TO TWIST THEM TO FIT OUR OWN IMAGE. OTHERWISE, WE LOVE ONLY THE REFLECTION OF OURSELVES WE FIND IN THEM.In a world angry and hateful and growing worse, love is the only antidote, the ONLY! With his heart wide open, the Apostle Paul says love is KIND. The life of a lover is lived easy, gentle, avoiding confrontation and struggle wherever possible. Said the writer Sydnie Smith:IF YOU HAD NO ONE TO LOVE, YOU WOULD NEVER BE HURT. BUT YOU WOULD NEVER GROW. YOU WOULD NEVER VENTURE OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN SELF-CENTERED NEEDS AND PERCEPTIONS. YOUR HEART WOULD NEVER BE CRACKED OPEN SO THAT GOD COULD ENTER IT. TO LOVE AND TO LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY IS TO TAKE RISKS, AND ESPECIALLY THE RISK OF REJECTION. BUT NOTHING ENERGIZES AND CLEANSES LIKE LOVE, NOTHING!Love, says the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 allows the lover to dwell on good things. The lover avoids gossip and negative language. Love stays silent in the face of false accusations as Jesus did. The communication of a lover is positive as Rod McKuen said:IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY, TELL THEM! THE TELLING UNLEASHES THE ENERGY AND THE POWER OF LOVE.Does it ever. It seems difficult for so many to say distinctly, clearly and unconditionally.I LOVE YOUFor that is the ultimate exposure, “a heart cracked open.” But those three words are perhaps the most powerful in the English language.Love then says Paul does not insist on its own rights or its own way. A loving person gets more out of giving, and caring than getting. To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others. So said the writer Francois Mauriac. Love is a miracle, miraculous in its absolutely powerful and transforming effect. That kind of giving, other-ness is truly the love of God at work which both constrains and motivates.Love says Paul, never keeps a moral balance sheet. Lovers take no account of the wrongs or evil done by others. Love forgives and forgets. It is difficult to forget but Paul says if you live in love, you can forget. That is so even for the most difficult object of love, an ENEMY. It seems hard to believe that we could love an Islamic terrorist or an angry political opponent or even a hateful family member or friend. We really can’t, but we can do so with the power of a loving God working within us who himself forgave us, forgot what was wrong with us and only in return, asked us to forgive others. The theologian Reinhold Niebuhr said the following:WE ARE SAVED BY THE FINAL FORM OF LOVE, WHICH IS FORGIVENESS. FORGIVING AND FORGETTING ARE THE HIGHEST ACTS OF LOVE RESULTING IN OUR SALVATION. THERE WAS ONE YEARS AGO DRIVEN TO THE CROSS BY THE LOVE OF MANKIND PROVIDED IN HIS DEATH, THE LIFE AND THE LOVE WE LEAD. THE CROSS WAS THE FINAL AND FORGIVING FORM OF LOVE. Was it ever. The crucifixion of the Christ on the cross was indeed the ultimate act of love.Love protects and defends. It guards the hearts and minds of the young. It trains up children in the way in which they should go. It shows them the way of the Lord, the path of righteousness. It helps them to resist the devil who in the face of love will flee and not return.Love is loyal and always at work. The great writer St. Augustine said the following:WHAT DOES LOVE LOOK LIKE? WHY, IT HAS HANDS TO HELP OTHERS. IT HAS FEET TO HASTEN TO THE POOR

Are you a Republican? If you are conservative and Christian, you probably are. Or, at least you vote that way, Republican that is. Why? Because that is really your only choice. The Democrats have turned anti–American, ultra–progressive, radical in so many ways and moving inexorably WE THE PEOPLE and our good country socialistic. Democrats now control House, Senate and Presidency and if they follow through (and they will) on their legislative promises (threats), our beloved country will be more socialistic than capitalistic, more socialistic than democratic and far less constitutional with the loss of so many freedoms everywhere, especially those in the First Amendment. Be careful what you vote for, my fellow Americans, or what others did if you were sensible enough not to do so, for you the Democrats, never Trumpers, anti–conservative and even Christian will live in an America radically different like we all will. But the fight is on, particularly the FIGHT OF FAITH.We are, all of us who are not democratic, radical or progressive, DEPLORABLES. We are deplored by them. A partisan insult once uttered by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential Election has now become a rallying cry for all good Americans fully insulted by this bitter, dare I say hateful woman. But, my fellow DEPLORABLES, it is now time, our time to rise up, to stand up. It is our time to fully take over the Republican Party. Republican, with few exceptions, has come to mean spinless, weak, non–aggressive, easily intimidated failing time and again to fulfill promises. Hence the term RINO: REPUBLICAN IN NAME ONLY.This party, for which most of us vote, has done little to advance conservative, constitutional America. It has allowed the cultural agenda to be taken over by radicals, Democrats who wish to change EVERYTHING and destroy so much of American history, tradition, lifestyles, values and priorities. I trust you say with me: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.Whatever you think of Donald Trump, gone as President and perhaps gone from the political stage in any effective way, there sits the Republican Party without leader, directionless, reduced to playing a defensive political game, a 2008 redux, ready to be taken over by real conservatives and real Republicans. It is time for the rebirth, reenergizing, recommitment, and reprioritizing of: THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.There were some 75 million people who voted for Trump, perhaps more. In a fair, open and transparent election like 2016, Trump may have won. So many voted for Trump because he was better than Biden and the Democrats, at least in terms of supporting a conservative agenda. Trump at least fulfilled most of his promises. What the Republican Party needs now in terms of new leadership is a person, male or female (am I allowed to say that?) who has the head like Trump, and the will and strength to carry out conservative priorities and ideas but without, WITHOUT the emotions and irrationalities of the Trump personality.Frustrated and angry, fully understandable, a peaceful protest of right–thinking conservatives descended upon Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, what was intended as a peaceful protest turned into violent, mob action, an occupation of the Capitol Building and tragically, even death itself. That should have never happened, NEVER. VIOLENCE SOLVES NOTHING, NOTHING! Violence only leads to more violence. All that matters is the exercise of the First Amendment rights of peaceful assembly, PEACEFUL and the right to petition, to talk, persuade, even demand that what WE THE PEOPLE, all the people think, believe and demand for our political way of life. That conservative, even Republican frustration with REPUBLICAN RINOS now produces the call for starting a new party. That is fully understandable. But, there sits the Republican Party waiting for new leadership, new strength, a return to the old American priorities and values and now is the time, my fellow conservative Americans, to stand up and take over, TAKE OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. As one conservative leader said so aptly:“An existing party apparatus (Republican) is sitting there and is there for the taking. LET’S DO IT!”So, my fellow DEPLORABLES, you must stand up and now. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. The very foundations of American traditions and freedoms are crumbling beneath you. Your lifestyle, your opportunities, your freedoms will dramatically change in the next four years. So many conservatives, so many Christians do not do what they must do! They do not fight back. They do not demand to be heard. They do not require leaders who will do what they say and fulfill their political promises. They continue to depend upon others. We the conservatives and Christians never join local political organizations. We never fight for the right people to sit and decide on school boards. Or zoning boards. We sit home and listen, talk and think we have done enough as Americans simply to vote. WE HAVE NOT! And that is why we, THE MAJORITY, the conservatives and Christi

Do you love him, that is politically love him? Or, do you hate him? There seems to be no in–between. One or the other.Extreme positions but then again, Trump is a man of extremes. All or nothing with this business man. You are with me or you are against me is the mindset, the position, the psyche of: THE DONALD. His personality is engaging, energizing and exceptional. Perhaps that is why one half of our country and its adult, legal voting citizens embrace him. But his personality can be abrasive, antagonistic, contradictory and confronting. We the people will, think so many, never have another President like him. Those who hate him shall Amen and those who love him grieve for him and for America. For without him, back to politics as usual. The turn–off side of Trump’s personality cost him the election, so say many. But look at the promises he made in 2016. TRUMP PERFORMED. The vast majority of the political promises candidate Trump made were PERFORMED by President Trump. Contrast that with Joe Biden who presented himself as a political candidate Democrat centrist, shunning the extremists like Sanders, AOC and the radical Muslims Tlaib and Omar, promising to unite America and bring together its factious and diverse elements in a new American unity. There has never been a larger political lie since 2008. Trump promised and performed. Biden promised to get elected. THE DONALD fundamentally changed the Supreme Court of America. In came Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett, Catholics all, joining fellow Catholics Thomas, Alito and Roberts for a total of six Roman Catholics on the Supreme Court: TWO THIRDS!With the exception of Roberts, in many ways a chameleon and unpredictable in decision making, all are constitutionalists, originalists, rule of law thinking Justices, nothing but good for America. Whatever happens in the political arenas federal and state, we the Christian and conservative people can only hope for the full protection of our beloved Constitution and especially the freedoms of the First and Second Amendments. Thank you President Trump, thank you.And the MILITARY. Trump strengthened the American military, knowing the incredible war–like threats which exist verbally. Military budgets were increased and military aid was provided to America’s friends. Military respect for America increased worldwide.And TAXES. Taxes were generally lowered especially on the Corporate side. The economy grew, even boomed in certain areas. Unemployment was at an all time low. Americans were confident, working, spending, enjoying a lifestyle they had not for years. Then came, according to Trump, THE CHINESE VIRUS. Corona, Covid–19. Destroyed most of those economic gains and probably was the most significant factor in the political defeat of THE DONALD. The oppressive Obama REGULATIONS AND EXECUTIVE ORDERS were done away with. The essential freedoms for business to grow and produce were restored. The SWAMP was identified, attacked and cut back in size and influence. Trump believed and practiced the Reagan philosophy and admonition: GET GOVERNMENT OFF PEOPLE’S BACKS!And the MEDIA, corrupt to the core, incredibly biased to the point of being un–American or even anti–American was identified for what it is. The media hated Trump and Trump hated the media. Twitter replaced the press conference. No effort, real effort was made by the press to ask and interview, but merely seize an opportunity in person to attack, confront, belittle and reign hostility upon the President of the United States. Trump exposed them for what they are, the three networks, the cable–haters CNN, MSNBC and others, turning to Fox even though at the end of his term, Fox began slowly to turn left which occasioned the rise of NewsMax and One America, most interesting new conservative cable outlets which began to take much of the Fox audience. Biden and the new – old Democrats will now be the darlings of old media and it, negative for four years, will become once again positive and supporting. Donald Trump vigorously supported the essential and fundamental five freedoms of the First Amendment and especially the first and most predominant freedom: FREEDOM OF RELIGION.No President, said so many African Americans, was more friendly to religion, the church, and Christianity, and Black Christians then Donald Trump. Of course, the media made sure he never got credit for that. Many wise African Americans saw the danger to religion, and especially Christianity as religious freedoms under the First Amendment were eroded, step by step wherever possible. Trump, with Executive Orders, did everything possible to prevent that from happening and to preserve, protect and defend religious liberty. As a Christian, I thank you for that Mr. President. THANK YOU! Trump aggressively attacked the immigration problem. He did everything possible to stem the tide of illegal immigrants entering our country illegally. He championed the wall, the Mexican wall and much of that was built. Democra

It was the shot heard round the world.Martin Luther King, Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4 in 1968 by James Earl Ray, a crazed racist. Dr. King had begun to emerge as the face, and more importantly the voice for America and even the world over for racial equality. King was an eloquent spokesman, learned academically, Christian in belief and determined to make a difference. He would never know the difference he would make.The assassin’s bullet, deadly and accurate, was the beginning in many ways of a new awareness of racial inequalities primarily black and white, but really more than that. It was perhaps the beginning of a new consciousness, a new awareness of differences, diversity where all right-thinking men and women, of good faith, colorblind and Constitutional would begin to learn a new respect for each other and learn how to build different and better relationships. They would learn that the color of one’s skin mattered not, but only the content of one’s character, as Dr. Martin Luther King so eloquently said.The King assassination triggered a new Constitutional awareness of equality. All men and women says this precious document and of course words framed in our Declaration of Independence, are created equal, and each, EACH ONE has the Constitutionally guaranteed right to:LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESSWe the American people have heard those words over and again, perhaps too many times for them to be the living, life-guiding words they were meant to be. Equality between black and white existed on paper only.That was the problem. Frederick Douglass, the former slave in America eloquently stated the real problem:“THERE IS NO NEGRO PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WHETHER OR NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE LOYALTY ENOUGH, HONOR ENOUGH, PATRIOTISM ENOUGH, TO LIVE UP TO THEIR OWN CONSTITUTION.”What we the American people had lost or perhaps never had was a loyalty, a faithfulness to our very own Constitution and Declaration of Independence. We had forsaken Constitutional commands and gone our own way, accepting slavery, injustice and inequality. We had lost our honor, our dignity as human beings and we saw too many people of color as UNEQUAL.We had lost our desire to LIVE UP to our very own Constitution and that disloyalty, dishonor, lack of patriotism and courage to live up to our Constitution was the real problem, the real cause of:RACISMIn fact, we the people had become unspiritual. We had failed to recognize that equality was divinely inspired, required and built as a fundamental precept into our Constitutional rights. The right of equality, and the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness was divine, inalienable, unconditional and it was un-American, un-Christian not to understand and LIVE UP to that great command. We had lost our way. Martin Luther King attempted to point us back, encouraged us to GET BACK to our roots, the fundamentals of America and begin anew to:LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELFWe made progress as a people. We abolished slavery. We began to learn how to live together, work together, forge bonds with one another although the progress was slow, and often painful. So slow, in fact, that it birthed the message of Martin Luther King in 1968. We listened to this eloquent champion of civil rights, equality and we respected not only his oratory, but the core and substance of his message. And, more progress was made even after his assassination.His ways were peaceful but many arose who chose violence as the answer, antidote to anger. We saw the rise of the Black Panthers and other aggressive, militant entities determined to get even and not necessarily get equality.But there were, in the day of Martin Luther King calm, still voices working, hoping, enduring and believing, like the NAACP and perhaps like the church itself. Martin Luther King was pastor, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King.Churches, black and white adopted his message and proclaimed the Constitutional truth of equality. We listened, inched forward, painful progress but real, nonetheless. Churches became mixed, neither black nor white but for all persons regardless of color.Men and women, previously distant, became one in the love of Jesus Christ. That love grew relationships and destroyed the barriers of misunderstanding. It was the dawn of a new day where race relations were BORN AGAIN.Something better was on the way.Jesse Jackson, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, a disciple of Martin Luther King, took over.He soon, however, many thought, lost the King vision of peaceful resistance and progress stalled.Suspicion and untrust ruled when there should have been new understandings. Other leaders, black and white did perhaps some good but it seemed as though the fundamental, underlying animosities continued to exist. It took action by individuals, by right-thinking private entities, by men and women one-on-one to begin to forge new relationships, new understandings, constantly chipping away at racism. It seemed a never-endi

They won!The Democrats won and now control Presidency, House and Senate. Sounds like 2008 all over again, does it not my fellow Americans? Remember those times some 12 years ago when Obama, Schumer and Pelosi controlled all three branches of government and how CHANGE, fundamental and substantial change to the America we love began. Get ready, my fellow Americans, for progressive, radical America PHASE II.Fundamental change will occur in America beginning January 20, 2021. There is little doubt that the elections were contaminated with fraud, and negligence and even indifference and absentee voting in America showed its weaknesses, including and especially the propensity for fraud. The issue is not whether or not fraud existed but whether or not fraudulent votes tipped the election of any political race one way or another. We will probably never know that, and since the Supreme Court has indicated it does not intend to review election results unless there is conclusive and clear evidence of fraud, the elections are final. In the Georgia Senatorial races, critical to conservatives and Republicans, Warnock beat Loeffler seemingly by a clear margin but Ossoff defeated Perdue by a razor thin margin and that election may be subject to recount or judicial review. For now, at least, Republicans need to accept the fact that the Senate will be divided 50–50 and to the detriment of conservative and constitutional America, Vice President Kamala Harris will cast the deciding vote in the event of tie. Even though Republicans and conservatives gained in the House of Representatives, Democrats control and will be able to pass virtually any legislation they wish unless, UNLESS there are right thinking centrist Democrats, middle of the road, truly American no matter how liberal (but not radical or progressive) who do not toe the party line. What an interesting two years it will be until we the people have once again an opportunity to elect our House of Representatives. In the first 100 days, Biden has promised to eliminate and change so many of the regulations and executive orders which President Trump issued and put in place. The agencies, the supposed arms of the Congress and the SWAMP which implements and is the real legislative force will once again introduce a choking regulation to America, and especially American business and all things financial and a certain economic paralysis will once again occur. Massive new taxes will happen, count on it. The Green New Deal in some form or perhaps even in the next four years altogether will become law and there will be all out political war against fossil fuels and especially fracking. Biden and the Senate may even resort to the PACKING of the Supreme Court, adding liberal and progressive Justices to the point where liberals once again fully control the decision making of America’s highest legal authority. All would be disasters, fraught with radical change in every conceivable way. We the people better be ready, and even more ready to stand up, resist, fight back against radicalism in any form and be ready with all of our might to protect our beloved Constitution and the rule of law. If we do not, GOODBYE AMERICA.But perhaps the most important and matter of greatest concern will be the passage of the so called EQUALITY ACT, now virtually assured. This is a frightening piece of legislation for Republicans, conservatives, Christians and all people of faith. This Act is anything but EQUAL. In fact, even as it champions the rights and creates preferences for LGBTQIA, it will absolutely eviscerate so much of the religious rights and freedoms, the very first freedom and perhaps the most important one to our Founding Fathers as embodied in the First Amendment of our Constitution. No matter that the Constitution explicitly and clearly states:CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW AFFECTING, ABRIDGING OR PREVENTING THE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION,the so called Equality Act does just that. This Act will make it law for our great country, and the new sexual orthodoxy will be required in every aspect of American life including enormous preferences for LGBTQIA, and especially transgenders, establishing the rights of any person to decide their sexual orientation and gender identity. The biological differences between men and women, male and female, will be utterly ignored if not abolished. The new sexual orthodoxy will be taught in all educational institutions, especially and alarmingly to the young from kindergarten through high school. This Act, THE EQUALITY ACT, can be found online or in congressional records and information, my fellow Americans, and you should read it and to the best of your ability, understand what is in it. You must for it will drastically, radically, permanently affect your life and the lives of all Americans. FIND IT AND READ IT!The following are just some of the harmful and horrendous things which this EQUALITY ACT will codify and force you to accept and live by.LGBTQIA will not h

Here it comes my fellow Americans, perhaps the most cataclysmic political – cultural – social year in the history of our great country. Progressives are on the prowl and conservatives beware. Change, radical change, can occur overnight or step by step. If our new rulers cannot get what they want by revolution, they will settle for a progressive evolution, but only for now.Some think that Joe Biden will be President for two years, perhaps three at most. Then comes Kamala Harris who would never be content to be a Vice President, White House bound. Vice President Harris, now Senator Harris from California, was the most radical member of the United States Senate, first out of 100 in terms of radical, progressive voting record and policies. If you are a conservative, traditional American, and you care for this great country, you should be frightened at such a prospect.Like all politicians, Biden and Harris are fully affected by POTOMAC FEVER. The allure of Washington D.C., the power point in America is more addictive to these politicos than any of the most powerful drugs. They live for election for it brings: POWER – ABSOLUTE POWER UNCHECKEDand it brings tremendous influence in every aspect of life including and especially financial.And Potomac Fever brings money, for personal gain and aggrandizement, and the potential to control trillions worldwide. And it brings prestige, fame, once a relative unknown and now a global personality.Power, influence, money and fame are like drugs far too addictive to these politicians, lifelong temptations.Biden and Harris are Democrats. The Democrats control the House of Representatives, but only by the slimmest of margins. Nonetheless, Pelosi and company control. If the Democrats can control the Senate and the Georgia senatorial elections January 5 will determine that, goodbye America. That is, the America we now know and millions upon millions love, cherish and would do whatever is required to protect. If Democrats control Presidency, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, be ready and beware of the following sure to occur. THE GREEN NEW DEAL. Our country will be dotted with windmills. Green renewable energy will occur everywhere and we the people will pay for it. The Green New Deal brought to fruition will cost our country and we the taxpayers TRILLIONS UPON TRILLIONS of dollars. That will destroy our economy and revolutionize our society.THE EQUALITY ACT. This legislation sure to happen with Democrat control should be greatly feared by every conservative and especially every Christian. It does not, this Act, do as it says, that is provide a certain equality for minorities, but rather, it PRIORITIZES the rights of LGBTQIA, and now especially transgenders and it makes any protections for religious organizations watered down or even eliminated with respect to hiring of such individuals. Even the perception of discrimination on the part of one of these protected minorities is apt to occasion a considerable lawsuit, litigation which would be unbelievably expensive and even in some cases bankrupt certain small business owners. The Equality Act would be the most unequal legislation perhaps ever passed by the Congress. SUPREME COURT PACKING. The Supreme Court now, the Roberts Court, is supposedly conservative, either five or six judges viewed as such. In the real world, that does not occur but if the Democrats believe it does or think it will, they intend to pack the Supreme Court, assuming they control the Senate, which now consists of nine justices with as many as 15, six new judges liberal to the core. That would be the end of a fair and a partial supreme judiciary. FOSSIL FUELS. Gone and done away with as soon as the Democrats can. They would target fracking, eliminating that wherever they could. Oil drilling would be seriously reduced, oil pipelines eliminated, coal resources would become virtually nonexistent, and even nuclear power would be severely curtailed. Many think the attack on fossil fuels would result in the loss of as many as several million jobs, directly or indirectly which of course would absolutely destroy our economy. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. The Democrats vow to remove that from the Constitution. They are not sure how to accomplish that for it requires a constitutional amendment, difficult to achieve but they will try. They think that the popular vote, the majority of Americans voting, would keep them in power perhaps as long as forever. No matter the justifications, and there are any number for the Electoral College, for a certain equality for the states, preventing a dominance of large states like New York and California, Democrats will do anything possible to rid our country of our present voting and election systems starting with THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. TAXES. No matter what you make, and especially we the so called middle class, you better be ready to pay more taxes, many, many more of your precious dollars in taxes. PAYROLL PROTECTION PROGRAM (PPP) w

We made it my fellow Americans. We made it through one year and to the next if we were alive at 12:01 am Friday, January 1, the great year 2021. And what a year 2020 has been, has it not? Unbelievable, many think the world turned upside down. Corona, Covid–19. A worldwide medical disaster. And the end of the Trump era and the beginning of a new political era which may usher in radical changes to this great country we love: SOCIALISM, something I fear more than anything else politically and I hope you do as well. WE THE PEOPLE are freedom loving, democratic–free, in control of our own lives and creating our own opportunities and a new kind of rule, some think a benign dictatorship may well emerge in the next four years. More than ever, we need to be watchmen and watchwomen on the walls of political freedom, of constitutional America, protecting, preserving and defending all that we have held dear for some 245 years. The fight is on.And so it is time traditionally to look back, think through and evaluate the year past, its value and meaning, think through our personal rights and wrongs and resolve to do different and better 2021. That is always a healthy exercise done right, it clarifies and allows us to prioritize. Done right, it can produce new resolve, courage and willingness to face the enormous challenges of 2021. Do it and profit from it. As you think through your personal balance sheet for 2020, take time to meditate, really ponder over the important things that happened to you, and things you did 2020. And you, a person of faith, should pray about them. Discuss their meaning and full effect on your life before the Lord. Ask for courage and wisdom, not to make the same mistakes in the new year, but to develop new strengths and characteristics which will make you a better person, a better Christian, a better PERSON OF FAITH. Then you can set new priorities. Do remember that life is short, so very short. The wiseman King Sullivan told us bluntly that life is no more than a vapor, here today gone tomorrow. Your life is precious, but fragile. The life we lead now more than ever is unpredictable. Change always came slowly in the world, in America but today, change is overnight and we adapt, and adapt quickly or the world moves past lightening speed. There is a new mentality, a new way of thinking, the cell phone – iPad day and age. Distractions are everywhere. It is hard to think, much less meditate or seriously pray without mental interruptions. We have little time alone, uninterrupted and daily it becomes more difficult to think, meditate and pray. We obey the siren call of a cell phone, we are constantly intrigued by the iPad, we are actualized and interrupted by the demands of the latest app and at the end of the day, there may be little left of us, the heart and soul of a real human being having lived one day. Perhaps a new year resolution would be quiet time (under the tree) all alone with Facebook and friends put aside, for hours, or a whole day. The soul, the heart, the mind needs refreshing and reenergizing this year more than ever. Moving on without being dominated by Big Tech would allow us to grow as human beings more than anything else. More time with God, more time alone with HIM is an absolutely critical resolution. Back to Christian basics, my fellow Americans, more time alone in prayer, thought and meditation. The latest cell phones simply can’t reach the heavenly domains. Read the Psalms, the prayers, the wailings of King David. He told us that he and consequently we should seek the Lord God Almighty morning, and then again at noon, and then again at night, a minimum of three quality, real, sincere times every day, EVERY DAY! And, said David, to seek God with all of our hearts, not with simple superficial overt–and–done prayers, but meaningful, qualitative, prayers worthy of the attention of the Creator of the Universe and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray, says the scripture, without ceasing. NEVER QUIT! If we spent the time we spend in communication on cell phones, communicating with the God of the Universe, our lives would change overnight. Twenty twenty–one would be a year of personal revitalization, priorities born again and personal strength and energy like never before. What a RESOLUTION that would be. Beware of WOKE, spiritually woke. GO BACK TO SLEEP, that is back to the old basic, simple, clear biblical Gospel, the true Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and the true Gospel which the Apostle Paul begged us, challenged us, demanded of us to know and follow. Beware of false Gospels, watered down, compromised and different. Beware of false teachers and leaders who would lead us the sheep astray. Ignore them, walk away from them and resolve, A MAJOR RESOLUTION to study to show yourself approved unto God, workmen and workwomen who know how to: RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH!The more you study the word of God, the more the Holy Spirit of God will interpret, lead and direct YOU.T

With God, all things are possible. ALL THINGS!Even an event like THE VIRGIN BIRTH. Some 2,000 years ago, an angel was sent by God to the tiny town of Nazareth in the Galilee area. The area was small, the inhabitants few and a popular saying of the day was: CAN ANY GOOD THING COME OUT OF NAZARETH?Perhaps not before, but after the visit by the angel Gabriel to an unknown Mary, from Nazareth would come the Savior of the world.Mary the virgin was pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The angel Gabriel said to her: GREETINGS, YOU WHO ARE HIGHLY FAVORED! THE LORD IS WITH YOU.Gabriel went on to say:DO NOT BE AFRAID, MARY. YOU HAVE FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD. YOU WILL BE WITH CHILD AND GIVE BIRTH TO A SON. YOU ARE TO GIVE HIM THE NAME JESUS. HE WILL BE GREAT AND WILL BE CALLED THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH.THE LORD GOD WILL GIVE HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER DAVID AND HE WILL REIGN OVER THE HOUSE OF JACOB FOREVER. HIS KINGDOM WILL NEVER END!And, rightly so, Mary was troubled and she said to the angel: “How will this come about since I am a virgin?”To which the angel responded:THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME UPON YOU AND THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH WILL OVERSHADOW YOU.So the Holy One to be born would be called the SON OF GOD.The natural man scoffs at angels but the spiritual man knows that with God all things are possible, including angels. Mary, now with child, the Holy Ghost having come upon her, went to the home of Zechariah and Elizabeth, relatives, and when she arrived, Elizabeth knew of this Immaculate Conception and Elizabeth said to Mary:BLESSED ARE YOU AMONG WOMEN, AND BLESSED IS THE CHILD YOU WILL BEAR!Elizabeth knew that Mary would be the mother of her Lord and ours as well.So, the world was about to change because of that event in Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth would soon be born in Bethlehem of Judea and this Nazarene, this SON OF THE MOST HIGH would soon be known as THE SAVIOR, the Prince of Peace, the Christ of Glory. When Elizabeth had finished, Mary began her very own song of praise:MY SOUL MAGNIFIES THE LORDAND MY SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD MY SAVIOR!FOR HE HAS BEEN MINDFUL OF THE HUMBLE STATE OF HIS SERVANT.FROM NOW ON ALL GENERATIONS WILL CALL ME BLESSEDFOR THE MIGHTY ONE HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR MEHOLY IS HIS NAME!Such powerful praise and adoration this Magnificat of Mary was. Mary, the virgin, so humble in spirit, thought of herself as the HANDMAIDEN of the Lord, perhaps still puzzled as to why she was chosen to bear the King of Kings, but willing and obedient to do the will of God.And the Babe of Bethlehem grew within her. Fiancé Joseph, of the lineage of David, sought to put her away but again, an angelic message explained to him what had happened, foretold the birth of this Son and the instructions to him that His name would be Jesus. Thereafter, Mary would be wife and mother for Joseph. It is incredibly difficult to imagine how this man 2,000 years ago would react. Nothing like this in human history had ever happened before. He, Joseph was chosen to supervise and support the birth of the Savior of the world. That would be impossible for any man to comprehend but Joseph, obedient like Mary, accepted the angelic explanation and this divine drama proceeded. Surely, Joseph could see the remarkable changes in Mary. For those precious months, Mary’s soul glorified the Lord. She told all that her spirit rejoices in God my Savior.Surely that glorifying and rejoicing was well noticed, even participated in by Joseph. Mary, the humble servant of the Lord knew what great things God had done for her and she was perhaps the first to live in a brand new, revolutionary state of praise and worship. Soon, that would be available to all mankind.Then came the decree from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. Joseph, who belonged to the house and lineage of David therefore went to Bethlehem of Judea to register with Mary, since Bethlehem was the City of David. But the town was full and there was no room in the inn so that Mary and Joseph slept in a manger. And there, in that manger, Mary gave birth to a son and as a proud and loving mother, she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger. Such were the humble circumstances of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, the Babe of Bethlehem, the Prince of Peace and the Savior of the world. AND THAT IS THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS! That birth of the Savior of the world is what we celebrate at Christmas! This rabidly secular world of ours wishes to de–spiritualize this event and take CHRIST OUT OF CHRISTMAS. We who believe must never let that happen but rather band together in glorious praise and worship to the Babe and especially to the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let not, my fellow Christians, the secularists abandon the Christ of Christmas. So, Christ was born and there began the spreading of the Word:AND THERE WERE SHEPHERDS ABIDING IN THE FIELDSKEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCKS BY NIGHTAND LO THE ANGEL OF THE LOR

He was born of a virgin, so we are told. The angel of the Lord visited Mary and divine conception occurred, so we are told. The virgin birth is difficult for many to believe.It defies nature, biology. It is simply not the way things happen.Conception and birth are as a result of the very best of female and male. So, you either believe in the virgin birth or you don’t. Christians, real Christians do. And so do I and I hope you.Bethlehem, where once HE was born was then Bethlehem of Judea. It is now Bethlehem as part of Palestine. It is so very different even though the place where he was born continues to be celebrated by the Church of the Nativity. Jesus was Jew, fully Jewish and Bethlehem no longer reflects that. That is most unfortunate and sad to see. We are told that Jesus as child, teenager and young adult lived a sinless, blameless life.This God-man was able to do that even though so many find that hard to believe. But Christians do believe that, real Christians do, and I hope you do.We know little of his early years. The son of a carpenter, the Lord of Glory was a carpenter by trade. Nazareth where he lived and built has like Bethlehem radically changed. It is Arab and Islam influenced and in many ways dominated and so much that was Jewish of old is long gone. It is difficult as the old hymn states to WALK WHERE JESUS WALKED. Those little lanes have in fact changed and really not for the better. Perhaps the sweet peace that once filled the air was real then, but there is anything but peace as the century’s old hatred between Arab and Jew festers and so often boils over. Perhaps it is only this carpenter from Nazareth who built so many things could rebuild, restore and reborn peace, real peace between Arab and Jew through his love. Nazareth, Bethlehem and the world sorely need just that. The Galilee where Jesus of Nazareth conducted so much of his ministry and performed his memorable miracles has also radically changed. It is modernized in so many ways. The City of Tiberias which surrounds the Sea of Galilee is modern on the one hand, wealthy and thriving in part but on the other broken, poverty ridden and anxious. The city seems very much in need of the carpenter from Nazareth who walked on the Sea of Galilee. How wonderful it would be if those marvelous miracles of old could once again transform, born again the place where he lived and the people that he loved.So often, the carpenter from Nazareth and the CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS went up from to Jerusalem to fellowship and worship at the temple. Much of the Jerusalem HE knew has changed. Much is modern, commercial and much is not Jewish as he was. There is significant Arab and Muslim influence.The Temple Mount where the temple of the great G-d Jehovah once stood is now controlled by Arabs and Muslims. On that once holy Jewish site stand the mosques Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock. To visit the Temple Mount as I recently did is to feel the tension between Muslim and Jew, and in fact Muslim and all others. The peace which passes all understanding which HE brought is nowhere to be found. The love of the BABE OF BETHLEHEM has been replaced by war, hatred and vengeance, so much vengeance. There is, as HE asked, no love for an enemy or even peace. There is only détente, reluctant acceptance of a temporary truce enforced with tension and military presence. The joy the three wise men felt as they gave gifts to him in Bethlehem is long gone. Watchmen on the walls watch not for HIM but for the coming of the enemy. Gold, frankincense and myrrh have been replaced by uranium, chemical warfare and poisonous gas. Love offerings have been replaced by suicide bombings. The good tidings of great joy which once emanated from Bethlehem have been replaced by the sirens which trumpet more war at work.Jerusalem, like all of Israel has changed. Yet Jews and Christians everywhere pray for the:PEACE OF JERUSALEMAnd Israel, and the world. But THE PRINCE OF PEACE is nowhere to be found in the land or in their hearts.There can be no peace, sayeth the Scriptures, old and new without the Messiah. Christians believe that Messiah has come, born in Bethlehem in Judea and faithful Jews wait for HIM to come for the first time. What a different world it would be, and what a different Jerusalem it would be if mankind allowed the Prince of Peace to gather all under His wings, as he prayed and heal the world (Jews call it Tikkun Olam) as only HE can. Christians, real Christians believe the Messiah has come and will come again.The Babe of Bethlehem, the Christ of Christmas is in fact that Messiah, so Christians believe.Anti-Semitism, as hateful as anything on this earth, is once again on the rise. It is everywhere, even in our very own open-minded country. Europe is awash in Anti-Jewish hatred and action. Jihadist Islam is on the march, to exterminate the Jews once and for all, to finish as one a valid jihadist said the work that Hitler never completed.And of course, with the extermination of

I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU AND I WILL CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU.Thus saith the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And He means it, he really does. There is no timetable for either the blessing promised, or the cursing. My ways, says the Lord God are not your ways, and my thoughts are not your thoughts. No man knows the divine timetable for anything. What happens and when it does is the will of the Lord. The Almighty states clearly that when it is justified: VENGEANCE IS MINE!And the vengeance of the Lord is a fearful thing.WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE should feel blessed, with more to come because of the way in which the Trump Administration has supported Israel. There has been the very best cooperation between America and Israel, we have supplied them with monies and onements and perhaps most importantly, by the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, recognized that world–special city as the capital of Israel, the Holy city of God and the Jews. I’ll bet you one shekel that the Biden Administration will move the Embassy back to Tel Aviv. Biden, you will see, is no friend of the Jews.All nations have suffered the Coronavirus and Israel is no exception. But, diplomatically, Israel has profited more in the last several years than in its entire 75 year history. Now comes the Abraham Accords, the incredible making of peace between hardened nations hateful of Israel and the Jews. An Accord, essentially a peace treaty and a normalization of relations has occurred between Israel and Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) which make peace and establish friendly relations with two Israeli Arab nation enemies. What a fantastic blow struck for the PEACE OF JERUSALEM. There is now trade between the three countries, and the opening of Jewish owned businesses there and Arab businesses in Israel. Hotels in those two countries are required to offer kosher meals even as Israel offers full accommodation to the citizens of Bahrain and UAE. The Trump Administration, the United States of America acted as broker and witness to those incredible agreements, never, ever thought possible. Said the good writer and thinker Joel C. Rosenberg: “President Trump deserves enormous credit for brokering those deals.”And that he surely does even though he may not be President to see the full effect of these incredible ABRAHAM ACCORDS. Now, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates join both Egypt and Jordan, nations which had signed peace treaty agreements with Israel after all out war, the one in 1979 and the other in 1994. Those two treaties kept the borders between Israel calm and quiet for 41 years on the one hand and 26 years on the other. Wonderful and incredible and even more to come. All four nations have participated in the economic sanctions and embargos against Israel. They fully supported the so called: BOYCOTT – DIVESTMENT – SANCTIONS (BDS) against Israel, participated in by so many nations worldwide. Those four nations constantly voted against Israel with the rest of the Arab world at the United Nations. They were full participants in the isolation and delegitimization campaign against Israel, but now, all that has changed. The Abraham Accords and other agreements preceding them provided agreement on civil aviation for one. There will be direct flights between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain. All such flights will fly through Saudi Arabia air space even though the Saudis have not yet participated in the Abraham Accords. But the granting of such flying privileges by Saudi Arabia is a strong indication that this large, wealthy and influential Arab nation will soon follow suit. It is absolutely historic that all the agreements under the general heading Abraham Accords will allow for common banking, private property rights and the setting up of small businesses. And, again, kosher meals will be served in Arab hotels, something unheard of even one year ago. This significant realignment of interest in the Middle East and the foreign policies of Arab nations and Israel has only just begun. The nation of Oman may be next. Even more interesting, the war–like nation of the Sudan now strongly considers making peace with Israel and joining the Abraham Accords. Ironically says Rosenberg, the Sudan seems to figure prominently in the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 and 39 in the so called: WAR OF GOG AND MAGOG.It will be absolutely fascinating to see what happens in that case, whether any kind of normalization before that prophetic great and final war. But these peace deals, these Abraham Accords, surpass indeed the peace treaties between Egypt and Jordan and establish a new model of what peace and normalization can be in the Middle East. The Peace of Jerusalem now looks possible more so than ever before! There are many who think that an even greater priority is the annexation or at least the application of Israeli sovereign law to large swaths of Judea and Samaria, which we know as the West Bank. That is still an objective of Israel and Prime Minister N

“RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IS IN DANGER OF BECOMING A SECOND–CLASS RIGHT.”Those are the words of United States Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, virtually made at a gathering of the FEDERALIST SOCIETY, a group of conservatives and libertarians dedicated to reforming the legal system. No matter, said Alito, that freedom of religion is the first freedom in the First Amendment, and no matter that the prohibition and restriction upon the Congress and really upon any legal or legislative body, this fundamental right, this first freedom was in danger of being eroded or even eliminated. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito who is Catholic by faith went on to state again: “Religious liberty is fast becoming a disfavored right.” That was partially because the Corona pandemic, he said, has resulted in “previously unimaginable restrictions on individual liberty.” Most Americans, at least right–thinking Americans would fully agree, wouldn’t you?The Founding Fathers of our beloved Constitution knew full well the importance of religion in the new world, and the dangers and difficulties which religion posed. So many of the original settlers of our great country came to escape religious persecution or otherwise to practice their religion as they wish and without governmental interference. They wished to worship without fear of persecution. They wanted no government to tell them how to worship, what to worship or when to worship. That is why the First Amendment absolutely and unconditionally prohibits Congress or by extension any other legal body from: ESTABLISHING ANY RELIGION OF ANY KIND.But the Founders went further. They also, in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights unconditionally prevented Congress from PROHIBITING the free exercise thereof, religion that is so that faith, worship and religion could be practiced, exercised and carried out without restrictions of any kind. NONE! But prohibitions, religious prohibitions occur time and again. Witness the well known case which went before the United State Supreme Court known as LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR, protesting the Sisters were the demands, the force of the Obama Administration requiring the Sisters to offer contraceptives and abortive fasciants in their health plans, totally contrary to their sincerely held religious beliefs. And then there was baker Jack Phillips from the once great state of Colorado who was forced to bake for a gay wedding, contrary to his sincerely held religious beliefs, also decided by the Supreme Court. But those, hateful and anti–religious no matter the First Amendment found legal ways for these cases to continue even if both resulted in temporary legal victories for the plaintiffs. With the ever present threat of an ultimate result which would PROHIBIT either plaintiff from practicing and exercising their sincerely held religious beliefs. Justice Alito was right. Unless the Supreme Court provides the protection and the upholding of the FIRST FREEDOM, religious freedom will become a second–class citizen and will eventually be eroded or eliminated. GOD HELP AMERICA! And there is more, much more in that incredible First Amendment. There is not only the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion, but: FREEDOM OF SPEECH.There is no such thing as freedom of religion unless there is freedom of speech. Religious speech is a critical component of religious freedom. Faith must be expressed. There is testimony and witness required within the church and without. There is prayer, absolutely essential, private and public. There is preaching and sermonizing. There is missionary work and sharing with speech faith and belief. NONE OF THAT CAN BE CURTAILED, NONE! The right to speak freely in all things and especially religion is absolutely guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Speech of any kind cannot be: ABRIDGED.It matters not how speech may be described. It cannot be proscribed! It cannot be abridged in any form, NONE. But it is. There is the nefarious Johnson Act which prohibits Pastors and Christian leaders from using their positions or pulpits to discuss anything political including and especially the endorsement of any candidates or candidate point of view. And that is but one example. The attempt to curtail, ABRIDGE religious speech is an ongoing movement and priority among the liberal, radical, progressive, atheistic crowd which continually seems to get and exercise power and control over such matters. There is always intimidation, and threat, and even violence from time to time. Speech, free religious speech and its component, ARTISTIC EXPRESSION are constantly marginalized, threatened, abridged with impunity. And, says Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, it will only get worse unless the Supreme Court steps in and protects these unconditional and sacrosanct first freedoms.And the abridgement continues most aggressively with regard to the so called: FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.Witness Big Tech, radical, progressive, anti–conservative an

We the people so privileged to live in America have so much to be thankful for. God has allowed us to live in the greatest nation in human history, in my opinion. How grateful we should be. Thanks be unto God for His incredible gifts to mankind.There are so many things to be thankful for. And we should approach this wonderful time of year with gratitude and Thanksgiving Day, and Thanksgiving week, and in fact all year long, we should:GIVE THANKSAnd you are thankful are you not my fellow Americans, for so much, so much that you have, so many opportunities that you have and the life which God has given you to lead. You are thankful and grateful, are you not?Our forefathers, as they established America one-of-a-kind, the pilgrims and others, did exactly that:THEY GAVE THANKS OVER AND AGAINThose who came first to America brought with them a deeply rooted sense of gratitude for all good things. They were grateful to God for everything, the Great Giver of all things. They thanked their God with works and prayers. And they set aside a day in the fall, after harvest to be especially thankful for all that God’s earth had bestowed. They set aside Thanksgiving Day to be grateful and to celebrate. The harvest reaped assured them of survival and prosperity during the harsh winter to come and they were grateful. The earth gave and they harvested. The earth bestowed the bounty of God and they reaped the harvest, with gratitude and with thanksgiving. Even as they, the first ones here, thanked the God Creator for these unspeakable, incredible gifts, so should we.So, amidst the fun and fellowship of the Thanksgiving Day and week, we should set aside time to be grateful. We should tell others of our gratitude and in a world so often negative and spiteful, let our attitude be positive and think on those things which are good, for there are so many of them.When households and humans the world over die every day, we should be grateful for life, for living, for the lifestyle we enjoy. Opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is everywhere, thanks be to God. We can start by serving HIM, and others. We can work and be productive. We can learn and train. We can earn, and profit, and grow, grow personally and professionally in so many ways. And we can do that every day, EVERY DAY, and especially this day which the Lord hath made. Thanks be to God for opportunity, for the freedom which creates that opportunity.So we celebrate life and we who are pro–life pray that there may be no abortion. That life, man and woman, and family will be governed by Biblical principles. That the elderly will be loved and live as long as possible. That we will educate, train up our young in the right ways so that when they are mature, they will take responsibility for our great country, protect the American way and revive us again with a deep sense of morality. How thankful so many of us would be for such a revival, the revival of love and respect for our Lord and for our great country. We should help them learn the lessons of grateful hearts.And surely, we should be grateful for family and friends, should we not? Those closest to us may be the least appreciated. We should share our love with them and tell them our feelings. We should thank them, love them for all that they do and all that they are. There are those who do so much, give so much to us without thanks. Like a loving spouse. And our children, spreading their love and joy. And for our friends, ready in our time of need, sharing life with us and making it better. We should not only be thankful for all of them, but tell them so, and share the love we feel for them. So that we honor our Lord at Thanksgiving not only with love for HIM, but others as well, our neighbors, even as we love ourselves. If you were to see them, be with them perhaps for the last time, what would you say? Thanksgiving gives you the opportunity to say it. And surely we are thankful for our freedoms, are we not? For our great Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our Declaration of Independence, our Rule of Law at work and the freedom we enjoy to pursue life, liberty and happiness as we choose. No one, no entity, no government can tell us what to do. We can define our own happiness and pursue it as we wish. We can feel the joy of living as we wish and perhaps as much as anything at this special time, we should be thankful, THANKFUL for this. And, surely Thanksgiving gives us the opportunity to CELEBRATE, and joyfully so.Most of us can enjoy wonderful food, and the aromas of turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. How good it would be if we could make certain that others less fortunate could enjoy what we enjoy as well. We should be grateful Thanksgiving Day, and week and all year long for the food of the harvest we enjoy as our forefathers did. Even as we partake in the fellowship of family and friends, and the fun and good times of the day, and of course for so many the football, as we eat the bread of the day, we

OH, BEAUTIFUL FOR SPACIOUS SKIES, this beloved land of the United States of America is. But this land, our land is so divided in so many ways by we the people that it becomes daily far from beautiful. Our recent elections show how divided we are even though, amazingly so, elections for the most part were peaceful. With minor exceptions, riots and violence did not occur. At least for now. But as we are as a people, this American house of ours cannot stand. Unity, common ground, commonality in ideas and values seem long gone. But now comes a President Elect who promises UNITY. Joe Biden as our presumptive leader and President asks us to come together and unite in common causes for the good of America. But, that of course will depend upon what the causes are. Biden promises moderation, announces he eschews the radicalism and ultra liberal progressivism of so much of his party, while at his side as Vice President is the most liberal, radical member of the United States Senate. Having large hands in decision making will be none other than Vermont Senator and radical socialist Bernie Sanders. And of course, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, liberal as they come. And Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, she the author of the Equality Act as radical as it comes, and Congressmen Schiff and Nadler among many others and of course the Squad, AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and Pressley, again as liberal and radical as four women can be. Along with Kamala Harris, it will be simply amazing if this think tank, this President – Elect by committee does not attempt in every way possible a major LURCH TO THE LEFT which of course would tear America apart. Only the election and confirmation of two Republican Senators from the great state of Georgia can prevent that.What Democrats will do, now in charge of the White House, and the House of Representatives may happen gradually, step by step, but change, and eventually radical change will in fact occur. COUNT ON IT!We are told that our Supreme Court is reasonably conservative. This court, the pundits say will prevent extreme and radical legislation, and congressional and state action from becoming the law of land in defiance of the Constitution. Our Supreme Court is comprised of Chief Justice John Roberts, a supposed conservative, and Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, confirmed constitutional originalists, and Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, also supposed conservatives in thinking and decision making, and now after a brutal confirmation hearing, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, yet another so called constitutional originalist and textualist. That is a total of six supposedly conservative–leaning Justices. But are they? The vote of John Roberts is always unpredictable. Thomas and Alito invariably vote in conservative, originalist fashion. But Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, like Roberts, are unpredictable in decision making, leaning more conservative but always potentially ready for that surprise liberal vote. We can assume that conservative decision making of Justice Barrett but that remains to be seen.But we the people can surely count on virtual unanimity in decision making from the liberal block including Justices Kagan, Breyer and Sotomayor. It takes only two votes from two Justices leaning left to change a decision. That has and will happen, perhaps time and again. For three liberal Justices vote consistently and openly in liberal even progressive fashion, unashamed and consistent. So often, it seems, the conservative Justices so called, including and especially Chief Justice Roberts vote leaning left, perhaps political rather than constitutional and are consequently unpredictable unlike the three liberal Justices. The Supreme Court may be conservative on paper but the legal paper they produce can be anything but. This court, this newly formed group of nine Justices will vote on some of the most crucial issues which have ever faced our great country. Democrats are determined to effectuate THE GREEN NEW DEAL. Biden has indicated clearly and emphatically that he intends to do away with fossil fuels. Natural (green) energy will eventually rule the day, so say Biden and the Democrats, no matter the cost now estimated in the several trillion dollars as a starter, preventing any and all kinds of FRACTURING, and drilling wherever possible, and the construction of new pipelines in an attempt first to curtail the usage of fossil fuels and then to eliminate them. We can just imagine the litigation which will ensue.And taxes. We will see, if Biden and his party have their way, an unbelievable, progressive increase in taxes for every American. It is just simply amazing that these radical politicians continue with the old saw of tax increases for the wealthy only, untrue in every way, for these very same taxes ultimately affect the so called middle class and even those below. The more, the bigger government, the more taxes. The Trump Tax Reforms will be done away with as soon as possible. Everyone and every entity, in

A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND!So says the scripture. That would be, would it not my fellow Americans, our beloved America. We really are not diversified (true diversity is a myth) but we are divided, deeply and it seems irreparably. Citizen against citizen. Conflicting ideas. Seemingly radically different moral values. And, WE THE PEOPLE in a constant battle over our beloved rule of law and Constitution, which many believe should be done away with all together (shocking), others simply changed and amended, still others kept but organically and currently interpreted while the remaining feel that the Constitution should not only be kept, but enforced with an originalist and textualist approach. Where do you stand my fellow Americans and how do you see the America you wish your family, friends and all of us your fellow citizens to live? LESSONS. What lessons, I ask, have WE THE PEOPLE learned from elections 2020? They are done and over, thankfully but not really, for there will be protests, even riots, and of course the inevitable and seemingly forever LITIGATION. But surely there were lessons learned. Perhaps this is a good time for you and I to take stock, to look hard at what happened and what role (if any) we, you and I played in this the most critical election in American history. What you and I did or did not do will have a lasting effect for years to come.THE VOTE. Did you vote? And did you vote right? Were you convinced about the issues, the parties, the platforms, the principles and did you understand them, evaluate them and vote for candidates and parties which best represented and promised to do what was right for America? In short, are you proud of an informed vote and consequently discharging the privilege and duty you have as a citizen to vote? There is nothing more precious in the political world than a free and independent vote for a country and for the leaders to represent you, NOTHING! Men and women have fought and died for the right to vote and perhaps WE THE PEOPLE maybe for the first time did not take the right to vote for granted. If you truly love America, and you are truly proud to be an American citizen, you would never miss the opportunity to vote. And as you discharged this democratic principle and your civic duty, I do hope that you voted for candidates who believe in: BIBLICAL VALUES.We the people of faith fight the social issues of:ABORTIONLGBTQIA EUTHANASIAEMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCHHUMAN TRAFFICKINGPORNOGRAPHYamong others. No matter who is elected and where, the fight of faith goes on. We should never forget that. And perhaps this election taught us the lesson that we must be more involved in politics, all of us. We must spend more time in the political arena. We cannot wait for the next election. WE THE PEOPLE must be the leaders, those who make the decisions, those in charge of our states, our counties, our cities, our townships and all local governmental bodies. WE THE PEOPLE must be in charge, and involved, and AT ALL TIMES. Government and its critical decision making never ends. There are those who dedicate their lives to government, to the power it brings and the decision making which can occur. Tens of millions of Americans do not! They leave that to others. But democracy, the republic in which we live demands that we be involved, and involved at all times. Are you? Will you now more than ever? WHEN GOOD MEN AND WOMEN ABANDON THE POLITICAL ARENA, THE BAD TAKE OVER. So said Edmund Burke. We the people cannot vote and then abandon. To be a citizen of this great country means to be involved every day in which we are privileged to live here. I pray that from this point forward, you, presumably a person of faith, will be more involved in government, in politics, in the running of your country and consequently your life now more than ever. It seems as if so many voted on the basis of PERSONALITY in these elections. You could hear across America the loud cry of the NEVER TRUMPSTERS. Many did not like the man personally. Many more were turned off by his personality and no matter what he believed or his performance as President, which was highly beneficial to people of faith, many of those very same people refused to vote for Trump and consequently his party as a result. But the lesson we should learn from elections 2020 is that we vote not on the basis of personality, or likability, but political promise and most importantly PERFORMANCE. To paraphrase Senator Feinstein from California: THE LIE RUNS DEEP IN ALL POLITICIANS!Never forget that former President Barack Hussein Obama warned us that WE THE PEOPLE now lived in the: ERA OF POST TRUTH.In short, anything verbally goes according to Obama, and perhaps virtually all politicians and we must, my fellow Americans, find a way to hold our leaders to the truth, to make decisions based on facts and to reestablish the old morality, the old Judeo – Christian morality which was the foundation, the essential pillar of our great country. W

IT IS HERE!Tuesday, November 3, 2020 is here. It calls us to action; it calls us to: THE VOTE.The most important vote in all of America’s 240–year history. It is your last opportunity, my fellow Americans to vote, whether Monday, November 2 or in person Tuesday, November 3. And, you will vote, citizens of the greatest country in the world, will you not? You must!The future of this great country depends upon your vote. The political choices we have are as clear and as different as they have ever been. You will vote for America as it is, essentially so, or you will vote for a radical America, lurching to the left, employing the incredible weapon of: CANCEL CULTUREand American history, and its political traditions, and its religious pillars and so many of its freedoms we have held dear since 1776. How will you vote? What do you believe America should be?Will you vote BIBLICAL VALUES? America in so many ways was built upon Judeo – Christian values, the pillars of our society. Its laws and rule of law were taken from the old English Common Law and from the Commandments, the moral principles of scripture. It created for us and for the world to see an EXCEPTIONAL society, men and women building upon essential freedoms, the freedom of religion, and speech, press, assembly and petition. It was a REPUBLIC for all the world to see. But this republic, built upon democratic principles, required hard work over and again. It required diligence, strong protections, passionate adherence to its principles, growth and development day and night. This American experiment and freedom was fragile, difficult and looked upon by the world at large as temporary. Our Founders who gave us this republic knew the dangers and the difficulties, which led Founder Benjamin Franklin to state: WE GAVE YOU A REPUBLIC IF YOU CAN KEEP IT.Our beloved constitution gave us a republic if we could keep it. Can we? We have done so for 244 years. But will these elections 2020 take it from us? If we vote for and allow radicals, progressives, socialists to take power and rule us, this long–standing republic will be done away with, in part overnight and the rest step by step. The vote you cast will determine our future. And you must vote, my fellow Americans, YOU MUST VOTE! Have you?We and our ancestors built this country. It was the blood, sweat and tears of our ancestors which gave us the America we now enjoy. This BUILDING took leadership, entrepreneurs, men and women with vision, mission and purpose guiding and directing, accumulating capital and financial resources, persuading others to invest and providing jobs, millions of jobs for those who were willing to work. America required the very best of the Captains of Industry and the hard work and diligence of workers white and blue collar. This combined effort made us great. It built a society affluent, opportunistic and abundant especially as compared to the rest of the world. The question for us and for all history is: CAN WE KEEP IT?Can we? That depends on how you will vote, my fellow Americans and for which party, politician and platform you wish for America. We will continue on as a nation essentially as we are, working to better ourselves, for reform, revival, growth, equality, fairness and justice for all, solving our problems without destroying our country. And as we vote, we pray, and we pray for the blessings of our Lord on our country, our leaders and we the people. We do the best we can and then we trust the will of God Almighty for our country.The results begin Wednesday, November 4. The elections in final form may not be known for days. There will be protests, claims of fraud, legal challenges. There will be protests, civil unrest, even the resumption of riots and perhaps even massive civil disobedience. We may well have a country in turmoil for days to come. We may witness the tearing apart of the Great Society and the resumption of the hatred, animosity, and deep division which characterizes America today. These will be the times, as Founder Thomas Paine well said that: TRY MEN’S SOUL.But the die is cast and we pray for fair elections, all votes counted and accurately so and the results when final, clear and indisputable. Without that, we will live with civil unrest and even disobedience for weeks and months to come. These are revolutionary days in America and those who are real patriots must stand up, fight the fight of freedom, and fight the fight of faith. We are now in this fight, like it or not, and it will require eternal vigilance, activity and reassertion of the right moral and political principles in order for the America we love to survive. Are you ready? I pray to that end. And I pray for America, and its future, and yours and mine.And as we pray, we seek the blessing of God Almighty. But this God we love and worship has told us that there can be no divine answer to our petitions unless we humble ourselves. America is a prideful nation, our people turn secular and humanistic m

Are you ready to vote in the most important election in the history of human kind? Are you?There has never been elections like this in all of history, never. Tuesday, November 3, 2020 is not a mere vote for parties, platforms or politicians. Rather, it is a vote: EXISTENTIALFundamental, one which could change the lives, the EXISTENCE of every American. The way of life, the freedoms, the constitutionality of 330 million people, Americans of one kind or another is at stake. So, again, are you ready to vote? And you will vote, will you not? The Democrat party has turned left, LURCHED to the left. This party, once generally constitutional now has become progressive, radical, and worst of all, socialistic. It has become the: PARTY OF POST TRUTH.It will lie, deceive, hide and do anything hypocritically necessary in order to win and regain the full power of the federal government. It now controls the House of Representatives and intends to keep that majority, whatever it takes. It needs but a net gain of 3 seats in the United States Senate and it will gain control of that august body. And of course, the Democrats think they have in Joe Biden a winner, one who will be elected by the American people over the supposedly unpopular Donald Trump. If Democrats win the presidency, and the majority in the U.S. Senate, and the House of Representatives: GOODBYE AMERICA!THE FIRST AMENDMENT. The Democrats will wage all out war on religion. Obama sought to change and reinterpret the constitutional freedom of EXERCISE of religion to the WORSHIP of religion, thankfully to no avail. Democrats will reinforce the Johnson Amendment which forbids public speaking and endorsement from the churches and other religious entities. Democrats will attack the tax exempt status of churches. The Hyde Amendment which forbids the payment for abortions by the federal government will be done away with and you and I will pay for any and every abortion which any woman wants to have. All of that for starters. Religion will be excised from the public square step by step, slowly but surely. You have witnessed the brutal attack on Catholics, no matter how qualified the Catholic may be. Justice Kavanaugh and soon to be Justice Barrett were savaged by the Senate Judiciary Committee. That is only a harbinger of more aggressive things to come for those who believe as people of faith and politics. Are you prepared to vote for Democrats knowing that will happen, are you? I pray not. SPEECH will also be curtailed. We already have hate speech which abridges free speech and more abridgement, restrictions will come.Democrats will do everything possible to limit the freedoms of the press, no matter the First Amendment. There may well be limitations on the right of assembly guaranteed by the First Amendment. Their agenda will be fully protected and endorsed by the media, the current press, and Hollywood, and the sports world, and academia, and most of the unions of our great country, so that the attackers will be formidable and ultimately fully aggressive. A vote for a Democrat candidate is a vote for all of that. Is that what you want for yourself, your family and this great country, is it? I ask you unabashedly to vote Republican.ABORTION. It will be promoted, protected, codified and made the forever law of the land. Do you believe in abortion and will you let Democrats accomplish that macabre objective, will you? Don’t vote for them.Democrats will champion the LGBTQIA agenda, now seemingly constitutional as a result of a Supreme Court decision. A vote for Democrats is a vote for the EQUALITY ACT and the gay agenda in every aggressive way possible. Is that what you want for America, is it? You will get just that if you vote Democrat.EUTHANASIA. No matter the sentiments against by Roman Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish or Muslim true believers and people of faith, Democrats will push and accomplish the agenda and objectives of euthanasia everywhere. Do you want that? THE ECONOMY. Democrats will seek to control the economy as much as possible and move it toward SOCIALISM. There is always the promise to tax, curtail and otherwise control if not redistribute the wealth of the WEALTHY, a canard if there ever was one. TAXES will go through the roof and the middle class will pay indeed no matter the lies of the Democrats. The DEBT of America, now out of control, will spiral downward even further and it may be a decade or more before America can right the ship if Democrats are elected. Is that what you want for America, you and your family, is it? You will get just that if you vote Democrat.THE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS. If you vote for Joe Biden as President, you will get as Kamala Harris has bluntly stated the HARRIS – BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. Harris will control, and the influence of Bernie Sanders, a radical socialist will prevail in every key decision making. And so will the thinking of Pelosi and Schumer, leaders of the House and Senate. That kind of oligarchy will be a disaste

NO RELIGIOUS TEST SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED AS A QUALIFICATION TO ANY OFFICE OR PUBLIC TRUST UNDER THE UNITED STATES.Such is the unconditional standard of the Constitution of the United States Article VI – Oaths. So that, when any individual runs as candidate for any federal office, or as otherwise appointed to or hired for any federal position or trust, no religious test of any kind can be given to that individual by anyone, including and especially Congress.Obviously, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat from the once great state of California never read or simply chose to ignore such a constitutional mandate when she and her committee vetted Amy Coney Barrett for qualification on the United States Court of Appeals when Feinstein thought her unqualified for being a strong, committed and convicted Roman Catholic telling her: THE DOGMA (CATHOLIC DOGMA) RUNS DEEPS IN YOU.And, indeed it did then, last year and it still does in the heart and soul of Mrs. Barrett who now seeks to qualify for the vacant seat on the United States Supreme Court, nominated by President Trump to become the ninth United States Justice of the Supreme Court.Mrs. Barrett is indeed a strong and committed Christian, a practicing Catholic and a member with her husband of the entity PEOPLE OF PRAISE. This movement emphasizes personal conversion and evangelizing the world with the teachings of Christ. The organization is charismatic in nature, emphasizing personal conversion and salvation with millions of members the world over. It is dynamic, effective and especially in South Bend, Indiana, home of the great University of Notre Dame and of the People of Praise local chapter to which Barrett belongs, socially active and effective. You can well imagine how the Godless, anti–religion progressives and radicals have severe apoplexy at the thought of Barrett on the Supreme Court. Of course these bigots, virtually all Democrats in nature care little that Mrs. Barrett is a wife, and a good one, and a mother of seven children, and a very good one, an outstanding citizen of this great country, socially active and caring in every way. Barrett is a highly respected professor at the University of Notre Dame. She is an accomplished legal scholar, always well prepared for every case before her, knows the law and most importantly for we the people, Barrett is a constitutionalist, a textualist, an originalist, and one who will faithfully apply the law of the Constitution and not depart therefrom in decision making as other Supreme Court Justices do. Sounds like a real winner to me, what do you think?Democrats, Schumer and Pelosites, whine and moan that this appointment should be made by the next elected President of the United States. When President Trump heard that, he moved aggressively to nominate Barrett even now, and as quickly as possible, knowing that with the Republican Senate majority, there would be enough votes to confirm Barrett and have her seated on the Supreme Court before the end of the year. You can be certain that professor Amy Coney Barrett will be the ninth Justice of the United States Supreme Court as soon as possible. WE THE PEOPLE will be far better off as she legally decides and participates in the making of the ultimate rules of law (Supreme Court decisions) which effect our great country and all of us.It is so interesting the double standards of Democrats, especially when it comes to Catholics. Democrats would do virtually anything to disqualify Barrett and prevent her from becoming a Justice, because she is TOO CATHOLIC, too real, too practicing, too faithful in her faith. But these very same Democrats have no problem touting the Catholicism of Joe Biden, this Catholic Johnny-come-lately who now tells us after all these years that he goes to Catholic church, carries rosary beads in his pocket wherever he goes, takes Communion or tries to, and attempts to live by the morals and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. And this very same man, now running for President of the United States, good Catholic as he purports to be, champions, aggressively champions abortion, has indicated he will defend the right to an abortion under virtually any circumstances and will do his best to codify, that is put into law the tenets of that bastardly case ROE V. WADE if he is elected. Biden as well openly champions the gay agenda, LGBTQ, and he, along with Senator Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi have promised that, as a first presidential – congressional act, they will see to the passage of the Equality Act which, as one commentator has stated:“Weaponizes the nation’s civil rights laws against Americans who don’t conform to the LGBTQ agenda.”Such a bill would establish a new sexual orthodoxy and it would characterize the beliefs of people who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman as the equivalent of racist bigotry. Female athletes would be required to compete with men identifying as women. Students attending bible believin

Patrick Henry, a great American revolutionary, loved freedom, loved freedom more than anything. He penned these everlasting words: GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.There was no life without freedom, liberty and for him, there was no living alternative.In revolutionary times, doubtful today, the great state of New Hampshire told all other United States that all who lived within its borders would: LIVE FREE OR DIE.And the vast majority of Americans, if not all, cherish freedom, true liberty, perhaps more than any other virtue. WE THE PEOPLE believe with all of our hearts that the gift of freedom is DIVINE, that is God–given and therefore UNALIENABLE. It can not be taken away, never. For without freedom, there is no life, none.No greater document has ever been produced by mankind than that of the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. It is a marvelous document. It should be required reading for every American. It should be even more so required for every immigrant seeking citizenship. In fact, it should be required reading, even testing, for those who would have the privilege of VOTING in this great country. And you, my fellow American, you will vote Tuesday, November 3, 2020 in the most important elections ever held in the history of humanity, will you not? And you are registered and ready to do so, are you not?Required reading should be the First Amendment of the Constitution. In fact, it should be memorized, discussed, researched so that the meaning, the history, the importance and priority of these incredible, unalienable words would be riveted in the minds and hearts of every American citizen, especially the young. Here those words:CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE PRESS; OR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.Some say the Constitution is difficult to understand. But that is NOT so. The words of the First Amendment to the Constitution are plain, simply stated, and straightforward. Congress cannot make any law which establishes any religion (The Establishment Clause). None whatsoever, and a very good thing. Nor, can Congress prohibit the free exercise, the practice of religion, not just worship but religion anywhere and everywhere and especially in the public square. Should that happen in America, that is a fundamental violation of the unalienable rights of WE THE PEOPLE. So many in the Democrat party want nothing to do with, in fact the end of religion. But it is your right and mine to practice religion, to believe as we would be led to do so and to protect that unalienable right at all costs. You can be certain there are those seeking political power in November elections who would do away with these freedoms or severely curtail them. You should know who they are, from which party they come and make certain your EDUCATED VOTE does not include them.Read those great words of the First Amendment again. See how all the freedoms indicated intertwine, the one dependent upon the other. First, freedom of religion, the free exercise thereof. But then, freedom of speech. Freedom to preach, testify, teach, witness and otherwise fully and freely express your faith or for that matter any other idea, thought, feeling or expression you may have. ANYTHING! Exercise your religious beliefs freely and express them with total and complete freedom of speech. OR, of the press. Printed. Put what you believe on the internet. Hand out tracks. Publish newspapers or anything else you wish, freely and without any kind of government restraint. You should know and protect that right with all your might.And, another unalienable right is the right to assemble. The right to get together, congregate as in church. That right cannot be taken away no matter the circumstances. And yet it has most recently where worship has been banned or limited by social distancing, masks and other governmental requirements no matter the Constitution. The Governors of some states have exercised cruel and unusual punishment for religious people and churches, forbidding them to congregate and some have rebelled, some have engaged in CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. As in the case of John MacArthur and Grace Community Church in California. MacArthur said that no government or political force would ever prevent him and his congregation from worshipping the God of the heavens and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He had no other choice. And more of that kind of political strong–arming will occur in the future, of that you can be sure. Some think the day is upon us where civil disobedience for people of faith will be necessary, defying a rabid secular order and preserving the most important freedom offered by our Constitution. That of course would be the supreme method to fight the fight of faith. Are you ready for that fight, my fellow Americans? Are you ready to fight for freedom of religion

“Nothing can do men of good will more harm than apparent compromises with parties (political) that subscribe to anti–moral and anti–Democratic and anti-God forces. We must have the courage to detach our support from men (and women) who are doing evil. We must bear them no hatred, but we must break with them.”The straightforward, uncompromising words of former Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, no longer among us. Archbishop Sheen had his own television program some decades ago. It was avidly watched by Catholics and indeed some non–Catholics as well. Sheen was powerful, straightforward, deeply concerned with right and truth and a real champion of the Roman Catholic Church. This powerful institution, not really what it once was, needs more men, more leaders, men and women for that matter to truly champion the truth, the right and all things moral. It, like all religious institutions, needs men and women like Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.Here his profound and straightforward words again:“Nothing can do men (and women) of good will more harm than apparent compromises with parties (political) that subscribe to anti–moral and anti–Democratic and anti–God forces.”Sheen was deeply concerned with compromise. If there is truth, absolute truth, it can NOT be compromised. It is what it is, it speaks for itself, it cannot be interpreted and it must be fully observed and respected. And if, said Archbishop Sheen, there comes a political party which “subscribes” to anti–moral, anti–Democratic and anti–God forces, all Roman Catholics, and in fact all people of faith: “MUST BREAK WITH THEM.”And there has come that time, that party in our beloved America. It is here, and it is now. They are the progressives, the radicals, the anti–Americans who continue to call themselves: THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.Former Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson and Jimmy Carter among others would be stunned, shocked and disengaged from the conduct, beliefs, platforms and promises of the current Democrat party. That led one Catholic political pundit to state: “This (the Democrats) is no longer your daddy’s democratic party.”And is that ever an understatement. It is nothing at all, absolutely nothing like the pro American Democrats of old. Anti–Catholicism existed at the very beginning of the immigration of Catholics to America in the early 1800s. There was, to be sure and unfortunately so, considerable bias against them. Not as people are human beings, but because they were Roman Catholic. Prejudice was everywhere. But, through the decades, it ameliorated and although there were always differences between Protestant and Catholic, and of course people of other religions and faiths, and there are today, a gentle tolerance replaced hostility and animosity and those differences were confronted peacefully, with discourse and dialogue, with charitable conduct and not, NOT with hostility or political attacks. And then came Obama in 2008. Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden (remember him?) came to power in 2008 following the lazy years of the George W. Bush Administration with influence and control over the House and Senate, Obamacare, THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT was passed and became the law, the medical law of our great country. Many think and many more know that this law as implemented was an absolute disaster and continues to be so. But the law and its nefarious provisions were aggressively implemented by Obama and company and no matter the effect, forced upon all Americans. It was supported by political untruths (if you like your present medical coverage, you can keep it) and implemented by those who were anti–capitalist and most importantly, anti–religion. They cared little or nothing about the First Amendment and the so called first freedom: FREEDOM OF RELIGION!Obamacare mandated that employers provide contraceptives to their employees as part of medical insurance. Abortive fasciant – contraceptives were required and the right of all employees who wished to take advantage of them, so said Obama and company. The rules for such were developed by the Departments for Health and Human Services, the Labor Department and the Treasury Department. Contraceptives were required free of charge and abortion–causing drugs were fully legal and to be paid for by insurance. Many millions objected but few if any stood up. EXCEPT, of all things Catholic Nuns. These nuns were known as: THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR SAINTS PETER AND PAUL HOMEin Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When Pennsylvania tried to force these sweet little ladies, as Joe Biden calls them, to provide contraceptives and abortive fasciants to their employees, the nuns objected and refused, God bless them. They sued the once great state of Pennsylvania. They got to the Supreme Court, which took their case, the landmark case known as:LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR SAINTS PETER AND PAUL HOME v. PENNSYLVANIAThe fight was on for morality, freedom and all things pro Christian. The plaintiff LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR are

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.Perhaps, my fellow Americans, the most important political words ever written, EVER!These are the promises, the rights, unalienable rights of every person, all humankind, and especially, all Americans. These words should be memorized and drilled into the heads and hearts of every single American citizen.Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. That means, House and Senate, don’t go near religion legislatively. Don’t make any law, direct or indirect, which in any way would favor, establish or support ANY RELIGION. For the most part, Congress has abided by that prohibition. In fact, the Congress of the United States at least at this point in time wants nothing to do with religion. In many ways, the Congress wants religion out of the public square, gone from the marketplace and out of public and certainly political life altogether.Which of course means that we the people should be concerned with Congress not establishing religion but:PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF.And they, the House and Senate with often a compliant judiciary are just beginning the legislative acts of PREVENTION which every American person of faith and in fact all Americans should understand and be concerned with.We live in a dramatic, aggressive even anti–religious day and age. Forces hostile to religion are on the march, everywhere. Religious life is threatened, churches are assaulted, Christian leaders and Pastors are threatened with severe fines and even jail time if they confront secular mandates. The fight of faith is on, big time.Recently, there was a spate of vandalism at Catholic churches in various US cities. There were attacks on Catholic institutions from Boston to Florida, church property was vandalized including and especially statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary so much so that one Catholic Archbishop said the following:“We have to be as vigilant as our Jewish brothers are vigilant against instances of anti–Semitism.”The vandals especially targeted statues of Jesus. That led the church to make yet another statement:“The underlying motive of these sacra religious attacks is clear: to intimidate and instill fear in the hearts of those who worship Christ.”That should not only send a message to the Catholic church, but to all churches, and synagogues, and even mosques. I wonder if these vandals, these terrorists would have the courage to attack the mosques and incur the ire of Muslims. Judeo – Christians by and large do not resort to violent retribution and of course right thinking Muslims the same. But if mosques were attacked by these fanatic, angry terrorists, I wonder how Islam would react. THE FIGHT OF FAITH IS ON, BIG TIME!First President and Constitutional Founder George Washington said the following:“Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society.”So that, if these two pillars of society are weakened or destroyed, society comes tumbling down. Lawlessness pervades, as it does even now in many quarters. Morality disappears, and license replaces responsible freedoms. ANYTHING GOES! Much of America is already there and it is time for the people of faith, all of them, every religion, to STAND UP, resist (the devil) and turn the tide back to where America once belonged:BUILT AND REBUILT UPON THE TWIN PILLARS OF RELIGION AND MORALITY.If not, America, its incredible republic and reliance upon democracy is done and over with. And this inconceivable end can come more quickly than anyone can imagine. If the Democrat party wins the presidency, and the House of Representatives, and the United States Senate, there will be a lurch to the left, a secularization of America the likes of which we have never seen nor even imagined.Many people think that a large part of the problem is the failure of the clergy to lead and respond. In a survey conducted by D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM), respondents by overwhelming margins want their Pastors to speak out, to lead, to take stands on moral and cultural issues. Federal legislation, including and especially the Johnson Amendment, prohibit Pastors and church leadership from being politically active within the boundaries of the church itself. But the survey found that the respondents want the Pastors to take a stand on so many of the issues of today, including and especially abortion. And, the respondents were deeply concerned with RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. And the role of government, and the role of the church in politics and government. But perhaps the main concern was:RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.The freedom to exercise religious beliefs anywhere, and especially in the public square. Freedom of speech, uninhibited, dealing with any and all issues whether political – secular or religious was i

Work is good. Work is necessary for the fulfillment of every human being. Work is required of every person according to his or her capabilities and talents, so sayeth the Scripture. All of us must work to survive, live, grow and profit and be all that we can be and as God intended us to be.Our very own America was built on hard work, and is in fact itself a work in progress.The progress depends upon us, we the people, how hard we work and how we make things happen. The majority of we the American people are hard workers.And, the harder and the better we work, the better America and all of us are. To be sure, nothing comes easy in this life, nothing. Everything we have or enjoy is the product of hard work by someone, whether you, or me, or someone else. You and I must do our share, accomplish our calling for the very short time we have on this precious earth. Life, said the wisest man of old King Solomon, is but a vapor here today and gone so soon tomorrow. We should make every working day count to the fullest.Pioneers built our country. They were men and women who did little but work hard morning till night. They farmed land never before productive.They raised animals and used them for work and feed. They built houses, and churches, and City Halls. They built roads and bridges. They built autos and trucks. They built hospitals and invented medicines. They designed and manufactured clothing. They created places for entertainment and worship.They built elaborate and majestic campuses for education and things theological. They built laboratories and science centers and they sent us deep into space. They were then and we are now the workers who made America great, America, the most exciting, creative human and social experiment in all of history.You and I should be proud of them and we should be proud to be workers like they were. The more we work, the better we are, caught up, energized and thrilled by the spirit of America, our exceptional opportunity to pursue our dreams and to build our future. America and those who believe in what it stands for are indeed EXCEPTIONAL and we have been blessed by EQUALLY EXCEPTIONAL opportunity. As we work, we should do everything possible to protect and defend the opportunities, lifestyles and freedoms which America offers.How wonderful it is that the talent and ability of every individual God-Made is different, unique.It is marvelous indeed that every single person has talent and gifts which are in fact different. That is true divine diversity. None of us are better at least not in the sight of God, but different only. Each of us has our own special CALLING. So, no matter who you are, YOU are special and it is your right but every bit as importantly your duty to utilize those God-given talents to the fullest.It is your duty to fulfill your calling.So then, we should not be concerned with what others think nor should we judge what we do and how we work by the standards of others. Nor should we be inhibited by their criticism. For we need to know ourselves, be true to that special self and soul which God has created and through prayer and meditation, come to a full recognition of those talents and be the very person God intended that you and I be. We can fail, but we can bounce back. The opportunity for growth and change is still available in America, thank God. Ignore rejection and focus on your calling. So then, my fellow Americans, you may be called to be a mother. Be all that you can be as a mother for the sake of your children and do your God-given calling with all of your might. Or perhaps you are secretary, or babysitter. Perhaps you clean for a living. Recognize all such work as a calling and do your calling with all of your might. Or perhaps you are plumber, electrician, landscaper, restaurant worker. Do your calling with all of your might and as you can, as unto the Lord. Or perhaps you are lawyer, accountant, radio salesperson, financial planner. Do your calling with all of your might. And if you are the President of anything, including the President of our great United States, you perhaps have a calling with higher standards, duties and demands. No one should do a calling better than you WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT!So, we work, we produce and as we do, we should expect return which of course includes money and profit. We work for economic growth and benefit, for the fruit of our labors. We follow the biblical prescription that we can expect even with minimum work product the return of that work one for one. Or perhaps, five to one. Or even as Scripture indicates, perhaps as much as ten to one or more as we diligently develop and exploit those talents and capabilities through hard work. The money return from our work, efforts, creativity and initiative is blessed by Scripture. That money return is right, as we become work men and work women worthy of our hire. We plant, as Scripture says, and Mother Nature waters and it is GOD who gives the increase so the Scriptures s

One Allan Bloom wrote a book entitled: CLOSING OF THE AMERICAN MIND.Prophetic, realistic, and tragically happening today in America and to some extent around the world. The ability to think and to express thinking freely, thoughts and ideas, whether creative or noxious is the basic pillar of democracy. Its that freedom to think, to express, to engage at all times in free speech, or press, or assembly or especially religion for if that is taken away, democracy dies and all freedoms of humankind with it. That my fellow Americans is happening now, right now in so many of our educational institutions, both university and even high school. Somehow, radical faculty and teachers have gotten control of education and the teaching curriculum and with that, demanded a certain way of thinking, introduced new intellectual standards, and new moral values. The freedom to think differently and exercise the right of free speech no matter how differing from the current orthodoxy has been so largely controlled or even eliminated. Radical, progressive faculty control. The faculty and administration at American universities and colleges has now been determined to be radical – progressive at a ratio of 13:1. In short, there are 13 liberal faculty to one conservative, thirteen Democrat faculty to one Republican. They are there, do what they do to indoctrinate rather than educate. They are determined to radically change America, to aggressively move this country from capitalism to socialism, to ignore our Constitution or reinterpret it, and to challenge the rule of law wherever possible including a failure to condemn riots and violence. That tragically for America today is the AMERICAN MIND, closed and closing at a horrifically rapid pace. How these elites and educational saboteurs gain such power is surprising to many. But they have, and they intend to exercise that power to the detriment of American education and especially to free speech. These educational elites have become pampered, spoiled, fully accustomed to getting their way with virtually full power to discipline any who disagree. So many of these university professors have become arrogant, prideful and totally intolerant of dissent of any kind. The university system of hiring provides for TENURE which when granted, protects these professors for a lifetime, A LIFETIME! So that, absent the most egregious conduct, they can not be fired nor can what and how they teach be censored or monitored. They are EXEMPT, above normalcy with an ever–growing disrespect for the average citizen and especially the young American mind. They are spiritually bereft and determined to change the morals of America. They wish to radically change American history, they condone the destruction of historical property like statutes and they promote the rallying cry of today, namely RACISM everywhere and in everyone, especially every white person. They want control, absolute control, the radical transformation of American society and especially AMERICAN EDUCATION.These radical professors and administrators are, unbelievably, subsidized by federal and state governments. They receive large grants from the governments, furthering the notion the universities and their professors are exempt from any standards, rules or values other than their own. No matter the educational culture, these federal and state subsidies subsist and there is never a financial concern on the part of the professors. So many of the universities have in addition, further financial security in the form of large endowments so much so that they are immune from normal financial regulations and requirements operating and spending as they please without regard to bottom line financial accountability. They operated under the assumption that every successful American had to have a university degree, a higher education imprimatur. As such, they the educators deserved what they had and even more, which in their minds was something guaranteed to them and the university education system, taken for granted and never to be changed. As a result, year by year, tuition and annual expenses were raised to a point now sky high and virtually unaffordable by the average American family. The educational culture and demand was further influenced by the demands and dominance of the American wealthy and especially by rich, foreign students who sought out the very best and most credible American educational institutions and their degrees. Prestigious schools like Harvard, Stanford, University of Chicago, MIT, the Ivy League generally and so many others were in high demand, employed rigid admission standards and with governmental, endowment finances, alumni giving and sky–high tuition, thought little or nothing about financial responsibilities. Students, anxious or even desperate for admission, incurred large loans, serious debt which they carried with them long after graduation. In fact, student debt in America today is at or about the staggering sum of $1.6

IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID!The famous words of then democratic candidate for President Bill Clinton in 1992. It was the economy then, the #1 priority and it is the economy now – today, the #1 priority in the great and critical American election 2020. NUMBER 1!A little virus, not seen with the naked eye which came from Wuhan, China, whether deliberate or not, has sabotaged the economy of America and in fact the economies of so many of the worlds nations. Hundreds of millions of people have contracted this virus. Millions have died from it. And virtually every person in the entire world, some 7 billion human beings, fear the possibility of contracting Covid–19, the painful recovery and even the possibility of death. Many of the world’s and especially American businesses remain closed or out of business permanently. More than 13 million Americans were out of work, unemployed and on welfare, federal and state. The latest unemployment figures shockingly reveal that 10.5% of the viable American workforce is unemployed! So many more are laid off, furloughed, work with serious reductions in compensation and live day to day with the fear that their employment is so very tenuous and could end at any time. It is a tragic economic day and age for our great country. Some believe the worst is yet to come.The next President of the United States who will handle this economic chaos will be either Donald Trump or Joe Biden. Trump is a businessman with at least some understanding of economics, money, employment, and business generally. Biden on the other hand has little or no economic – business experience. Either one elected will rely upon a team of advisors, secretaries, and agencies to handle the money, the real economy of WE THE PEOPLE. You must, my fellow Americans, YOU MUST understand the financial philosophies and the course of action each of these men and their respective Republican and Democrat parties will take when it comes to OUR MONEY – OUR ECONOMY! You must. Many believe as I do that the Democrat party has LURCHED TO THE LEFT. The radical left. Biden and his fellow Democrats have told WE THE PEOPLE that if he is elected, he and his Democrat colleagues will TRANSFORM America. That means radical change. And it starts with the economy. As a result of Corona, our federal government has borrowed trillions, TRILLIONS of dollars, distributed them as a form of STIMULUS to workers and businesses, in an attempt to save some portion of our economy and GET IT GOING AGAIN. That borrowing will require payback. And, the only real means of payback which the federal government has is: TAXES. And lots more of them. Now come the typical Democrat public relations appeal to WE THE PEOPLE that the taxes will be generated almost entirely from the: WEALTHY. It is today as it always has been nothing more than a political lie, for new taxes on personal or Corporate incomes affect everyone, EVERYONE! The Democrats and Joe Biden claim that there may well be enough new taxes from the wealthy to pay America’s unbelievable debt. The truth of the matter is that the tax payments and the rates for those payments will increase for every American, everyone. They claim, the Democrats do, that they will spare the middle class. Not so, another political lie. Most Americans fit into the definition of middle class somewhere, whether high up or low down, but somewhere. Most Americans have personal property, homes, cars, retirement funds, perhaps stock holdings or investments in private businesses even if small. They, all of us, will be affected, and some severely by the new taxes proposed by Biden and the Democrats. Get ready for long term financial plans in the way you live, my fellow Americans, much more going to the government and much less for you and your family IF, and so many hope it is a big if, BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE ELECTED. A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for massive and mammoth big taxes.Biden and his party propose that the top marginal rate for personal income taxes be increased to almost 40%. And more to come, much more in the four years of his term if Democrats control both House and Senate of the federal government. Biden would repeal the $10,000 cap on the deduction for state and local taxes, giving a much bigger tax break to wealthy enclaves like San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and the like. The uber wealthy can no longer deduct state and local taxes of any kind over $10,000 which has been unbelievably costly to the wealthy. But if you own a home somewhere, anywhere, no matter its value you can only deduct up to $10,000 as well. Many in the so called middle classes do not have $10,000 worth of deductions and consequently would receive no benefit from this provision. But the wealthy would, contrary to Democrat – Biden promises. More political hypocrisy.The Democrat tax proposal would apply a 12.4% social security tax equally divided between workers and their employers. Such a tax now has a cap but under the Biden proposal, there i
