Ramblings

 It's been a few days since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I was very shocked when I heard about it. I was also quite angry. I wasn't a follower, so to speak, of Kirk, but I'd seen some of his campus interactions over the years. He was never nasty, unlike many who came to the mike. I've also seen, over and over, the lies that Leftists smeared him with. Apparently, a radicalized 22-year-old shot him. I say apparently, as I don't trust ANY government agency anymore. Add to all this the reactions of many Leftists. The sheer glee and sick joy they take in his murder. It has been said that when Leftists eventually show you who they really are, believe them. Well, a great many of them have shown us what I've suspected for a long time. They are truly of their Father, the Devil. You have to have a very black heart and a seared conscience to have those reactions.  I've also said that you can't hate Leftism enough. It is Satanic and evil to its very regressive...

 Many people speak of individual repentance and salvation. They forget or don't know about National repentance. National Israel, throughout the Old Testament, strayed from God's Law. To be sure, not every Israelite strayed, but as a Nation she did. So God withdrew His protection from them. This happened many times. I think a comparison can be drawn throughout history of this happening to other Nations. They do abominable things, and God gives them over and withdraws His common grace. They collapse under the weight of their collective sins. The United States, as well as most Western Nations, are experiencing the fruit of their collective despite for God and His law. Here in the US we see many signs of collapse. All of it due to man thinking HE is the master of his destiny. Man is NOT basically good as some would have one believe. You only need to look around you to see the result of man without the restraint of God's Law and grace. This Nation murders the unborn. If a child ...

 What a year it has been. Trump will likely be inaugurated on Jan 20th. I say likely as the Left isn't as vanquished as so many crow about. They have no inkling just how deeply corrupted the bureaucracy, aka The Swamp, is nor how many politicians are corrupted. Also, those corrupt politicians wouldn't be there but for an oblivious or corrupted electorate. Do you see where this is going? As a Nation, we are fundamentally corrupt. We've pulled away from God and decided WE know best. We've seen the results of this across the entire spectrum of our Nation and Culture. That is, those of us with our eyes open. There is no area of life that has not been touched by this evil. When so-called teachers are pushing 'trans' on children, and many are just fine with that, then you know just how low we've sunk. Yet, there are lower levels to be reached.  I keep hearing people say that with the election of Trump, Wokeness, DEI, etc have all been repudiated and we're on a...

 This Nation has gone insane on many fronts over the last 20 years. It's even more 'In Your Face' these days. The latest is the so-called 4B movement by women of the far-left persuasion. I need not go into the insanity seen on Tick-Tock and Youtube by these people. At first, I was derisive and looked at it with contempt and a certain amount of smug satisfaction, much to my shame. Then, after contemplating it my thoughts changed somewhat. I started feeling sorrow and compassion for them while at the same time, they need to be held accountable. You see, many of them have been fed this Leftist garbage and poison their whole lives because we as a society didn't stop it when it first reared it's Hydra head in 'education'. Thus, Society at large bears some of the burden. We all know how impressionable kids are, how much we were at that age and need responsible adults to guide them. This didn't happen. They then went to universities that were run by the same po...

 So, Donald Trump has been elected as our next President. Many are elated. While I understand their elation that we dodged the bullet of the puppet Harris and her controllers, it's ONLY a reprieve. Trump supporters seem to have forgotten that Trump will be, should he survive and make it to the inauguration, the President. Not the Emperor, not the King. He will be the President. Many of his supporters seem to forget that last time it wasn't just Democrats doing everything they could to sabotage him, but Republicans as well. There are many Republicans who hate him just as much as Democrats, but they hide it under a false face. Many of these despise the Constitution until it's useful to THEM. Many in Congress and the Senate will resist anything he does just because they hate him. You say "We'll primary them!" So what? You don't control the voters of those precincts. The Congress critter represents the majority of voters in their district or state. If most vot...

 Have we as a Nation forgotten how to be grateful? I often wonder at the lack of it. If you take the time to look around you, you will see so much to be thankful for. I marvel at what I see most days. The advancements we've made in so many areas are truly amazing. Think of the variety you see in stores from groceries to things like televisions and furniture to cars. There is much more variety than when I was a kid. We didn't have instant news or 'news' that the internet provides. Heck, we didn't have the internet! Grocery stores had the staples but did not have the quantity and variety we have now. The same goes for department stores. Oh, you could order something through a catalog and then await its arrival, but the options available today were nowhere in sight. When I see what is available today, across all spectrums, I marvel at it. I am very grateful. Yet, a majority aren't. Either they didn't grow up in the times before this over-plenty, or they've ...
