Going to Chuch Against the Dictates of Our Secular Leaders

Going to church, being in a building with fellow worshipers. So many Christians find it okay that we don’t need corporate worship? So here are a few scriptures on why it’s necessary, then some observations. Going back to the earliest times, God planned for us to meet in a building. He said to build a tabernacle, and said, “Make a place where I may dwell among you. There I will meet with you, and I will speak with you.” (Exodus 25:8-22)

 Praise and prayer individually is an important discipline of Christians. That’s only half the equation. The church is the Bride of Christ, and can’t function if people don’t attend, serve, and worship together. Back to Exodus, where the idea of gathering together was God’s idea, not us mere mortals. “From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shat take My offering…And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them...And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat. (Exodus 25:2, 8, 22). As we know and have experienced, lots of people come up for reasons not to go to church in the best of times. Now the Enemy has a built in one, convincing so many that sitting on the couch or recliner is adequate corporate worship.

 We must not only attend as good disciples, but prepare for it. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” [Day approaching is about preparation for the Second Coming] (Hebrews 10:25)

 Lastly and perhaps most importantly, Jesus himself made sure he went to church (in his case tabernacle), and methinks a disciple it’s way important to emulate Him as best we can. Luke 4:16----“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath Day, and stood up to read.”

 Then the Apostle Paul says: “On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.”

 Four reasons to go to church.  1.We will find that grace is released to us, because we make room for that grace through our obedience and acceptance of the discipline of attendance. 2. It gives us a chance to acknowledge with humility, I need the Body of Christ. We need to be with the local body because we are member of a living Body, and the ‘member’ separated from its body will decay. 3. We acknowledge a distinct accountability to the Body of Christ, we show a practical availability to serve, and we allow a place and time for correction. We show up and, by our presence, thereby acknowledge we are righteously submitted to Christ’s rule in, and through, His Church. 4. We manifest a model: ‘In all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works’. (Titus 2:7) By worshiping together at an appointed time, we show a pathway for other to observe---not as a self-righteous display but rather as a demonstration of the Lord’s way.

 I suggest to all using this lockdown to keep people out of church is the work of the Enemy. I suggest reading or re-reading CS Lewis’ “The Screwtape Letters” for clarity on how Satan deceives us. It’s at play on this issue right now. Obey God, reject the Deceiver.

 Politicians don’t have the legal or moral authority to be locking Christians out of their churches, and Jews out of their synagogues. They are doing to work of the Enemy, the great deceiver. This planet has been through many pandemic and epidemics. Believers and knowers of God, of Jesus, always went to church.

The Difference Between Patriots and Soldiers and the Left/Democrats

 

Army veteran Charles M. Province:

It is the Soldier, not the minister, who has given us freedom of religion.

 It is the Soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

 It is the Soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. 

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to protest. 

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. 

It is the Soldier, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote. 

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Now me:

It is the Democrats taking away our freedom of religion.

It is the Democrats taking away our freedom of the press.

It is the Democrats taking away our freedom of speech.

It is the Democrats taking away the freedom of Republicans, Christians and Conservatives to protest.

It is the Democrats taking away our right to a fair trial.

It is the Democrats taking away our right to vote.

It is the Democrats that rejects the flag.

It is the Democrats that advocate more war (they have stopped, protested or delayed every attempt to withdraw from war.

It is the Democrats that don't honor the fallen in the draped coffins.

It is the Democrats burning the flag; not Republicans, Conservatives, or Christians.

My Big Problem with Pete Buttigieg

Leftist radical Pete Buttigieg, a minor political player from a minor town weighs in on the attack by Iran on the oil tankers. He said Trump lacks credibility, and there’s no real proof Iran did it. So he sides with Iran against the United States. Buttigieg is an anti-Christian bigot homosexual. Iran is a Muslim state, and Muslims murder homosexuals.

The US lets gays go about whatever they want. Won’t see any gays as mayor of any towns in Iran. Maybe enough murdered gays to populate a town.

Buttigieg lies about Christians, specifically Vice President Pence. Pence is super careful about even the perception of impropriety. Buttigieg attacked Pence, who has said only kind words about the untruthful mayor. He said, “That’s the thing that I wish the Mike Pence’s of the world would understand,”  (Pence opposes same-sex marriage). “That if you have a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”

Pence’s response was "I have my Christian values. My family and I have a view of marriage that's informed by our faith. And we stand by that. But that doesn't mean that we're critical of anyone else who has a different point of view." "I have my Christian values. My family and I have a view of marriage that's informed by our faith. And we stand by that. But that doesn't mean that we're critical of anyone else who has a different point of view." Pence has also said he’s had a great working relationship with Buttigieg and has worked very closely with him.  

Given the number of Christians in this country, well, probably not a good idea to attack them. This by a guy the claims he can unite people.

He is of course pro-abortion, pro-union, pro-LGBT, for the ‘green new deal’ though he’s done some back pedaling on that when it turned out to be so massively unpopular. He’s anti-second amendment, thinks climate change is a national security threat, wants every house in America to be a ‘net zero’ consumer of energy, and is for single payer health care. He is open borders, but its nuanced so people not paying close attention won’t think so.

He touts his overseas military service like it’s a brave thing he's done. He was there in Afghanistan, living a comfortable life, in the NATO coalition's Afghanistan Threat Finance Cell in Kabul. Mostly he was his bosses’ driver. He had to be armed doing that, so has a bunch of pictures of himself looking armed and manly. He spent seven months there (some say nine).  In ‘Nam we called these guys Rear Echelon Mother F**kers (REMF’s). He was an accountant and driver. Worthless in combat. A lot of  REMF’s were good at disrespecting those of us in the field.

So with him supporting the New Green Deal, single payer health care, being an anti-Christian bigot (while claiming to be a Christian no less) and using a bogus military profile, this guy is as phony as a three dollar bill. My disgust with him started when I found out he was misrepresenting himself at the beginning and changed to the truth once he got on the political map. 

Los Angeles Becomes Third World County

DR. DREW PINSKY: We have complete breakdown of the basic needs of civilization in Los Angeles right now. We have the three prongs of airborne diseases, tuberculous is exploding, rodent fleas. We are one of the only major cities in the country that does not have a rodent control program. Sanitation has broken down. We had a typhus outbreak last year, we will have typhus this summer. I'm hearing from experts that bubonic plague is likely, it's already here, it will get onto the rat fleas. And then now finally we have this oral-fecal route contamination which is tyhpoid fever. Three cases. One confirmed, probably three. This is unbelievable.

I can't believe I live in a city where -- this is not third-world, this is Medieval. Third-world countries are insulted if they are accused of being like this. No city on earth tolerates on this. The entire population is at risk. And God forbid is measles. This is a population that's suboptimally immunized. If measles gets in, I just have an image of myself on my knees in the gutter tending to people.

The Hatefill Covington Event

Hopefully, all are aware that the Jurassic Press took a snippet of a vid and created from whole cloth the lie they were confrontational, racist, and created a racist confrontation. Then when the rest of what happened was released on vid, the corrupt lying Jurassic Press had to walk it back. Some tweets were removed, even a couple apologies. Some faux conservatives and Republicans jumped on the going-off-half -cocked bandwagon which is not surprising.

A couple days have passed. Yesterday alleged reporter Savannah Guthrie peppered Nick Sandmann, a high school student, with no media experience, questioning him like he was guilty of everything the Jurassic Press lied about. Some of her questions: “Do you feel, from this experience, that you owe anybody an apology? Do you see your own fault in any way?” “What’s it been like to be at the center of this storm?” “Did anyone say, ‘Build the wall’?” (This after all the vids showing no one said that.) “Have you looked at that video and thought about how it felt from the other’s perspective? In other words, there were a lot of you, a handful of the others. Do you think they might have felt threatened by a bunch of young men kind of beating their chests?” “There’s something aggressive about standing there, standing your ground, you both stood your ground, and it was like a stare-down. What do you think of that moment?” “As for the red 'Make America Great Again' hats that some students were wearing, Do you think if you weren’t wearing that hat, this might not have happened or it might have been different?” Are only Christians and Conservatives responsible for how the respond and act? Now the MSM have doubled down, going back to the original lies and again acting as if they were true.

Sandman’s family and others hired a public relations firm. I would think they would do that because being in the hateful biased spotlight wasn’t something they knew how to deal with. Being honest and truthful isn’t adequate for the PR arm of the Leftist/Democrat political machine.

Now all those kids have been doxed, gotten bomb threats as have the school. BTW, neither the school nor the Diocese waited to see what happened, they jumped on the kids at the initial lies. Super shame on them.  

Plus it turns out that Nathan Phillips never went to Viet Nam, was not a Ranger, had spent time in the brig, and was discharged as a private, what you are when you enlist. The Black Israelites are a vile hate group that were shouting vile things at the kids. In the vids, much had to be bleeped out because of the profanity.  

Then Don Lemon of CNN (arguably the most stupid man on TV): “OK. The MAGA hat, the MAGA hat carries a certain connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction from many people. Especially from marginalized people,” Lemon said. “For example, Pocahontas, right? This was a Native American. Their chaperone should be keenly aware of that. Those kids should know that. And let’s say that the kids didn’t know that because they are kids. Their chaperones should be responsible enough to educate them. After all, they are students.” Goes back to who’s responsible their responses to events, others of self. What, now Leftists tell the rest of us what we can wear?

These were high school kids. How would you have acted at 17 years?

Shame on the kids’ school and Diocese for not supporting them, the Jurassic Press for lying about them, the conservatives and Christians that didn’t support them; now some of these same people are doubling down on the lie.

Just horrible all around.

Now Financial Institutions are Censoring Conservatives

The New Censors

I was watching a conversation between Dave Rubin and Jordon Peterson this past January 1^st and an amazing thing was revealed to me. It’s been going on for a bit and is scary and stunning in its implications.  

We’re aware of censorship of Christians, Conservatives, Republicans, NRA members and others that don’t adhere to the Leftist, Corporate, socioeconomic orthodoxies. Google, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram etc., are the biggest known violators. What’s been going on that I didn’t know about is the Banks are doing it to.

In the vid with Dave Rubin, he and Jordon Peterson have announced they are leaving Patreon, which is their main donations platform. Sam Harris, also a member of the “Intellectual Dark Web” had already left. The way Patreon and other platforms are doing this is by using financial institutions, and here I’m focusing on MasterCard and Visa to not only censor but cause massive life damage. If you are Conservative, Christian, NRA member, or you engage in what they, from their Leftist perspective is “hate” speech, your institutional finances will be cut off; your access to money. 

Several conservatives have had this done to them. Not for actual violence or something life destructive, but simply that they might cause violence or create some discomfort to a Leftist or their organization. Some names of censored people are Lauren Southern and Brittany Pettibone, neither of which has slandered, libeled nor physically attacked anyone. Southern is the woman who brought attention to the murder, beatings and rapes of white farmers in South Africa; including the destruction of the farmland and infrastructure. Pettibone was censored by Patreon for supporting a group called  Generation Identity because Patreon sees them as a violent group, even though they have done nothing violent and have spoken and written against violence.

Who has not been financially kicked off Patreon or MasterCard/Visa, are Leftist Mike Stuchbery that calls Trump a Nazi and his supporters Brownshirts. Another Leftist, Heidi Culliman, says the same but actually advocates for Trump and his supporters punching them. ANTIFA, which destroys property and beats people up still have social media and bank accounts. 

The question arises, why not just start a conservative free speech social media platform? With financial institutions like Stripe and PayPal and others not allowing access to financial services, how are they going to do it? You need a payment processor. 

Coming soon to you, no financial services, no credit, if you disagree with Leftist orthodoxy. Think it can’t happen? It already is. Twitter kicking conservatives and traditionalists off their platform. The same with FaceBook, Google, Instagram. Just because you’re a small fry, doesn’t mean it can’t happen to you. 

Now banks. This is seriously disturbing and dangerous. 

More to come….

I'll follow-up with who people like Southern and Pettibone are.

Counter Cultural 3- The Intellectual Dark Web

Dave Rubin

I'd like to name these people The Intellectual Light Web, for obvious reasons; they shine the light of rationality, tolerance and free speech. This is the third counter cultural element that is pushback to the PC lockstep crowd that is against free speech and for absolute conformity to orthodox Leftism. This is the Intellectual Dark Web….major rational thinkers. Up front are Dave Rubin and Jordon Peterson, along with Joe Rogan. I have problems with Sam Harris, but he’s definitely worth listening to. Here’s the link for an introduction to the group if you’re not up on them. 

This is a link to the Intellectual Dark Web...it has bio's of the major players. Site here:  People of the Intellectual Dark Web I watch Rubin's YouTube cast every week, along with Joe Rogans...learn so much. 

Counter Cultural 2- Tik Tok

Tik Tok is a short form vid, limited to about 15 seconds. It’s music based but is showing itself to be a bit of a challenge to the orthodoxy of millennial cultural and control and oppression. It’s a Gen Z backlash.

Here's an explanation of what this is. I must say, I'm hooked, but there's something else, some counter cultural against all the politically correct lock step culture. The explanation....

Counter Culture 1 - Katie Hopins

Some of my fellow socio-political economic religious thinkers get almost depressed or feel hopeless, seeing our civilization being beat down. It seems no one is fighting back and speaking for the regular folks. This and a couple of other posts I’m setting up today is just to make a few of you on the edge of despair aware of a couple things and a few people that have the intellect, honesty, skills and abilities to effect change and push back.  

Katie Hopkins is a media presenter, commentator and journalist. She’s part of the counter cultural movement against anti free speech, anti-freedom, and the outrages of the elites that ignore our votes.  Some examples are ignoring the vote on Brexit, massive illegal immigration push into Europe, and in the US protecting our southern border. This is a half hour vid that covers just about all the issues of our own “leaders” killing western civilization. I first saw her on Tucker Carlson and on Stefan Molyneux’ YouTube program. Both interviews were great and worth watching. This is just full bore Hopkins. I hope you watch it. Leftists, secularists, elitists will hate it. They should watch it too; step out of their bubble. 



And of course the Left engages in mudslinging and hate speech against her.

Luis Gutierrez and Hate Speech in Congress. Shame on Him

Luis Gutierrez

This man is so indicative of what many on the Left drip with. Disrespect, lies and hatred. This is a representative, an official in the government. I read the comments on YouTube and was astonished that most agreed with this lying low life hateful, spiteful person and amplified his hate speech. Members of Congress, or any government official should never speak and behave in such a vile and horrid manner. When DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen started to quietly and professionally respond he left while she was talking. Shame on him.

At about 4:20 in the clip, he brought Christian religion, the baby Jesus, and made up a story about what happened to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and ‘the wall’. Just what a bunch of hooey. This man, with so much hate in his heart, so many lies in his mind, so much misinformation in his speech, needs at least our prayers for redemption and healing.

We Don't Need No Stinkin' Love

I’m almost overcome by the amount of hatred, vitriol and lack of forgiveness directed at people that aren’t Leftists/Cultural Marxists. These people have no love in their hearts. We all need to be taught love, and with the popular culture never having been taught, the hatred, lies and intolerance grows. What they don’t know is this from the Apostle Paul, from Corinthians 1:

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.  If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.  It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

We all listen to the attacks on Trump, attempting to criminalize his every thought and deed. It’s about destroying lives. An example being the destruction of Kavanagh, using the liar Christine Margaret Blasey Ford to turn him out to be a serial gang rapist. The comedian Hart recently has to withdraw from being host of the Oscars. Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray won the Heisman, gave a wonderful heartfelt faith filled acceptance speech, and at the same time a USA Today writer released a tweet from when Murray was 14 years old that is deemed ‘homophobic’. While the country was mourning the passing of Bush, the intolerant hate-filled Joy Behar was railing against Trump, was called on it, that they should be talking about Bush, she exploded. Lastly, Don Lemon, arguably the most villainous hate-fill talking head on TV, when Trump at the Bush memorial, reached across to shake Obama’s hand, Obama took the gesture. Lemon said he couldn’t bring himself to shake Trump’s hand.

All these things, at the heart, shows the lack of love, the lack of forgiveness. These people, and most of the people on the Left, the neo-Bolsheviks, the cultural Marxists, officially represented by the Jurassic Press and Democrat Party lack everything the Apostle Paul said about love. They aren’t patient, not kind, they are jealous, boastful, proud and rude (Behar inappropriately railing about Trump, and Lemon not shaking an offered hand). They are irritable. They demand everyone see things their way or have their lives destroyed. They rejoice about injustice (General Flynn did not lie, Mueller said he did), and hate the truth. They are never hopeful. They do not love. They are incapable.

They need prayers. They need guidance. Somehow they need to be instructed in Judeo-Christian courtesy, behavior, manners, and compassion.

It's Not A Lack of Civility, It's A Lack of Human Decency

Carlson's house under attack by Leftists 

It’s not a lack of civility, it’s a lack of decency. It isn’t merely a lack of civility to run people out of restaurants, or go to their homes and protest.

This is what Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) said on NBC when asked about what happened to Ted Cruz: “This is what happens because when you look at white supremacists and all that, this is what’s coming forth in our country. There is a tremendous divisiveness in our country. This is the kind of activism that occurs and people make their own decisions. If they violate the law, then they have to account for that.” Ted Cruz is Hispanic. So how can he be a White Supremacist?  His family is from Cuba. (Same situation with Ben Shapiro, and orthodox Jew that wears a yarmulke and leftists call him a Nazi.) Hirono also told all men to shut up.

Mitch McConnell has been accosted at a restaurant and an airport. There were chants of “We know where you live!” Elaine Cho, his wife and the Transportation Secretary has been accosted several times. Rep. Steve Scalise was shot (not followed by calls for gun control by the Left) when a Democrat gunman opened fire on a group of Republicans.

The Daily Caller: ‘Martin Astrof was arrested after he threatened to kill supporters of Congressman Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump,’ Suffolk PD said. ‘Astrof went to the campaign headquarters of Congressman Zeldin and became irate with a campaign worker at approximately 11:15 a.m. After threatening to kill the campaign worker and other supporters, Astrof backed his car up in an aggressive manner nearly striking the worker.’

Richmond Times-Dispatch: “On Saturday, a woman reportedly screamed at former White House advisor Steve Bannon, who was shopping at a bookstore in Richmond, Virginia. The woman called Bannon a “piece of trash” and continued to yell at him until the bookstore owner called the cops.”

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was yelled at and run out of a Mexican restaurant.

ABC News: “A DHS employee who lives in the Washington DC area found a body of a burned, decapitated animal on his front porch, ABC News reports.

Idaho State Rep. Priscilla Giddings was threatened with rape and told to kill herself.

White House advisor Stephen Miller had wanted posters in his neighborhood. Once when he went to pick up an order at a restaurant an employee flipped him off and started yelling at him.

When these are pointed out to Leftist talking heads, these activities are justified by them. Free speech, because these are White nationalists, racists, bigots, homophobes, etc.

Nothing new here, it’s been going on for years. Leftists go to people’s homes, publish their personal info, and get them fired from their jobs. Ever hear of Brendan Eich? He lost his job for supporting and contributing to Prop 8 in California a few years back that supported the notion that marriage should be between a man and a woman, the traditional view. At the time he worked for Mozilla which he was the co-founder of. He was the inventor of the Firefox browser. He wrote JavaScript. That was reduced to just “Java” and is the most used computer language in the world. Last laugh, he was going to retire, was ticked off by this, invented a new computer browser, made an additional $36 million with it in crypto-token sales.

Justice Kavanagh was lied about. His family (with small young children) was exposed to the lies and hatred.

Then yesterday CNN’s alleged “journalist” kept attacking Trump, did a hate filled lying filibuster, pushed away an aide trying to take the microphone and continued to berate the President. Leftist talking heads all praised Acosta and said it was all Trump’s fault, and Trump was the rude one. Then another reporter that had not been called, went after Trump for being a White nationalist, and leading White Nationalists with his rhetoric.  

Last night Tucker Carlson’s house was attacked. His family was home and he wasn’t.

Going back years the Left has been doxing (releasing personal info), harassing, being violent, rioting, destroying, and causing people to lose their jobs just because they have different socio-economic, religious values. It’s why I call them neo-Bolsheviks.  

The recent win of the House of Representatives by Leftists/Democrats will embolden them more, just like electing a Black man made charges of racism by the Left even worse. Stand by for more dangerous and indecent behavior by them.

Straight Talk, Crooked Talk, Experience and Obfuscation

Democrat Voters

I’ve just written about the imbalance in the Arizona senate race. One with leadership experience, training and education, McSally and an anti-capitalist, anti-military pink tutu wearing protester with no leadership creds and a degree in social work. This imbalance shows elsewhere.

In Georgia, Democrat Stacey Abrams is leading in the polls. This weekend Black Panthers marched through Atlanta brandishing AR15’s chanting ‘power to the people’ and ‘black power’.  Of course she supports banning “assault” weapons even though it would be unconstitutional. She’s walked back that stance and said it should be done through legislation.

She’s for all the standard Leftist issues, and like the rest of the Leftist radicals running for office, tones down, explains the nuance causing the misunderstanding of what she’s said before.

Educationally and the government experience is about the same between her and her opponent, Brian Kemp. Difference is one is anti-second amendment, has the support of the violent Black Panthers, open borders, pro illegal immigration, and the rest. Kemp, though not entirely conservative supports immigration law, and the rest of the Trump agenda.

Beto O’Rourke has accomplished nothing in his life, yet seems to think he can win because celebrities have given him oceans of money. A media blackout isn’t letting the public know he’s probably sending money to the “caravan”. Ted Cruz has Texas locked down.

In Florida Andrew Gillum has a lot of corruption charges against him as Mayor of Tallahassee and if it’s brought up you’re a racist. He’s for open borders, for abolishing ICE and the usual Radical Leftist programs. His opponent is Ron DeSantis, who went to Yale then Harvard law school, and served as a Jag officer, was in Seal Team One, was in Fallujah. Again a person with life experience, combat experience and leadership experience and training.

I know I’m a partisan, but good grief, when you have person back peddling, softening their policies and position to move themselves to the center, have been political operatives all their lives, don’t support the rule of law, vs, people with military, combat, leadership experience, have been to various leadership schools, say what they stand for straight up without covering up those policies and principles; to me choices are clear. That half the country prefers people that only talk talk talk without the walk walk walk  and that astounds me.

So I’m counting on McCallum, Kemp, DeSantis, and others with experience in the real world, with leadership experience and training, believe the rule of law is the rule, are selected to lead their communities and the corrupt liars and political operatives are kicked to the curb.

How Could This Mismatch Even Be Under Consideration?

Most politicians are corrupt, vile, low life bottom sucking scoundrels. I think that bar has been lowered.

Take a look at Arizona Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema.  'These women who act like staying at home, leeching off their husbands or boyfriends, and just cashing the checks is some sort of feminism because they're choosing to live that life.' “That’s bullshit. I mean, what the f*** are we really talking about here?” That she said in 2006. She called Conservatives ‘Neanderthals’. Nice.

Project Veritas has a tape of Sinema and her unfiltered thoughts. She’s for banning guns, yet denies it, open boarders, yet denies, has protested a lot against the policies of the US, said its okay if a person wants to join the Taliban and fight against Americans, and yet denies it. The denials come in form of challenging nuance of what she really met. 

Arizona state troopers withdrew their endorsement. Much of what she says on the campaign trail is to present herself as a centrist, not the leftist radical she is. She’s lied about being homeless. She was in a poor home but had a home. She co-founded an anti war group Local to Global Justice. This group had a flyer in 2003 saying: ““You can help us push back U.S. terror in Iraq and the Middle East.” Another: "All out against Bush and he Fascist Imperialist War."

Yet she presents herself as pro military.

On the other hand, her opponent, Martha McSally, was a fighter pilot that has flown combat missions. She was a squadron commander that rose to Colonel before she retired after 26 years of service. Plus she fought for eight years to change the policy that US Servicewomen had to wear Muslim clothes off base. She has Master’s degrees in John F. Kennedy School of Government from Harvard and U.S. Air War College in Public Policy and Strategic Studies, where she was first in her class. Plus a whole bunch of other stellar accomplishments. 

Compare that to Sinema’s Bachelor degree in Social Work and her membership in the Green Party, and in a 2002 article in the Arizona Republic denouncing capitalism.

I’m appalled that such a suspect person, anti-military, anti-capitalist, small achievements that misrepresents herself to move her public persona to the political/cultural center could be even considered and equal to a proven leader with many accomplishments under her belt. I mean, really, a leader and warrior in a flight suit vs an anti-American that dressed in a pink tutu to protest.

Not Even Artifical Intellligence Those Social Warriors

You’ve seen it with talking heads panels on TV, and probably experienced it yourself. You’re talking to a Leftist/Progressive/Democrat/Social Justice Warrior and you make a statement about the weather, marriage or whatever and you get the response: you’re a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, etc. You get that every time. No discussion possible. No matter what the subject. Same when you see or listen to Leftist talking heads on radio or TV. They’re on the air so they use euphemisms for the same thing. 

For us seasoned citizens this is like the old talking dolls. Pull a string and it says something, then again and it says something different. How cool is that?! Pull the string a sixth time and it says what it said before, and again what it said before. Then you realize it has limited statements. Well, that’s not cool. Move up to the modern era and we have gamers.

There are characters in these called Non-player Characters (NPC’s). [‘A non-player character, also known as a non-playable character, is any character in a game which is not controlled by a player. In video games, this usually means a character controlled by the computer via predetermined or responsive behavior, but not necessarily true artificial intelligence. In traditional tabletop role-playing games the term applies to characters controlled by the gamemaster or referee, rather than another player”.] These are the extras, some are just there, and some have a line or two that they can only repeat. It has no personality, no thought, canned answers, and just preprogramed responses. The same with the Progressives/Leftists. Ask one where the X restaurant is and the response is “Socialism is the answer, capitalism sucks”.  Say it’s a nice day and the response is “climate change is real”. Say someone did or say something wrong, “you’re a racist”. (I once challenged a person who called me a racist, and was told that defending myself proved I was a racist).

There you have it...the reason why one can’t have an informed, intelligent conversation with a Leftist. They’re all NPC’s for Leftist ideology.

The pic here is a cake! Yesterday had a most fabulous time with friends in Salt Lake City. There was a house warming party; Dick had bought a house and had it remodeled. A lovely new crib.  Amazing Greek food, and a lot. At least thirty people there. A full spread, lots of laughter, good conversations. They’re an Italian family, so the desert was Italian. A great combination.

Some things happened over the past few days, which I’ll be writing about in more depth. Main things were two funerals, Aretha Franklin and John McCain. Aretha went through some horrible things in her life. It looks like memorial turned into a political rally against whites, Republicans and lots of Trump bashing. What the hell? Focus not on her. That’s what Leftists/Democrats have been doing of decades at memorials. They've corrupted everything with their politics. Sports, religion, movies, journalism, and of course funerals. I’ll chronical that sordid history. Then John McCain’s memorial was the same, though mostly it was Trump bashing. I’ll be speaking ill of the dead. He did some amazing and good things, and led a good life. What he did his last few years was destructive to the country and his legacy. Even to the end, to his funeral and memorials he blocked people from attending. Never heard of anyone doing that; they wanted to pay their respects and honor him.

Well, I’ve done some yardwork this morning, now need to assemble some furniture.

All days are good. God is good.  

I haven’t written since last September. The time since then to now was not good. Things that happened at work made me miserable, which caused me to retire earlier that I planned. I couldn’t write or read anything of note. Thus no blog posts. I was going to work until 2021, way over 65 years old. My misery at work got me to take action and retire now. It’s a good thing, better than I imagined. Two years ahead of what I planned, I now own and live in a house overlooking a valley and mountains, I can see stars at night, and hear crickets. One morning when I opened the curtains a fawn was outside my window. I’m not working, having to be monitored and critiqued about everything I said and did. Being treated that way causes a free spirit to suffer. I toughed it out and here I am.

Yesterday was a retirement party at work, my last day. It was also an event for my friend Paul, also retiring. We’ve know each other for years, and I’m glad he too is free to pursue his dream. It was an emotional event, testimonies about both of us and how we had such a good and memorable impact on people. Given that, I am happy to leave. UPS was a mostly miserable place to work; many unhappy people there because of it.

The first Sunday in August I also left my church, First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, Las Vegas. That was also emotional, and more deeply so since it is a place and people I love. A place I was accepted and helped and appreciated. I learned and taught guided and was guided.  It is sadness for me to leave.

All of which lead me to thinking of departures past. The first departure was from high school…bittersweet. Athletic glory days and some academic success. That summer I ended up at the Bright Angel Lodge at the Grand Canyon busing tables. Tips got me enough to get me into Northern Arizona University (plus a hundred bucks from Dad).

I completed my freshman year, carrying 17 hours and a full time job at a restaurant. I knew I couldn’t do three more years of that, so I joined the Army and they gave me a Southeast Asia vacation, all expenses paid. Unlimited bullets and beer. Quite a formative experience for a twenty year old. That was a happy departure. Out of the Army and out of Vietnam February 10^th 1971. That was unbounded joy. From there back to college on the GI Bill and a part time job in the university library.

Departure from college was painful. I loved the academic life, the scholarship, reading, friends, discussions, and of course the parties. Met and lived with the love of my life. I was working in an alcoholism center too. All at once, I graduated (I got a letter from the university telling me I was done, time to go), broke up with my girlfriend that major league broke my heart, and the center where I worked lost its funding. I had a breakdown. Everything was gone at the same time. That was the most painful departure ever.

I ended up in Rock Springs, Wyoming, and for the next couple years worked as a roustabout in the oil patch. Worked on a rig, took off for a few months until I ran out of money and found another rig. I wasn’t invested in that work, so departure was an emotionless passing through kind of event.

I wanted to travel the world some more, so joined the Navy. Not a good experience. Couldn’t stand it, but I was stuck. I did get to visit some great places and had some good friends. That was a happy departure. I remember standing on the quarterdeck, requesting permission to go ashore the final time, and when I started down the brow, a bunch of guys on the flight deck threw their hats in the air and started cheering and yelling out my name “Dex”.  The Captain and XO were on the quarter deck scowling at me. I wasn’t too popular with the brass. Like I said, it was a good departure.

My job after that was a good departure, glad to get out of there. Conflicts with management, a lifelong issue.

Then the move to Las Vegas and twenty years as UPS. Made a few friends there, and met some super smart people. And twenty years at Church, lots of super smart and talented people. This last has a hard departure.

Each of these are a stage of life. I first became aware of these stages reading a book by Erik Erikson about Gandhi. I was twenty something. To get an idea of how long ago that was, tuition for college was $163 per semester, for all classes. I carried 17 credits, $163.

In youth, the first stage, I learned music, how to play an instrument, how to be a winning jock, how to read with discernment, and study. In the second stage of young adult, I grew in combat and weapons knowledge, scholarship, working outdoors doing manly labor, traveling. In most maturing paths, this part of life is learning a skill for the third stage. That stage usually one meets a person that becomes a spouse, an occupation is maintained and hopefully some wealth for later years to maintain the fourth stage. That stage is to get right with God. That’s for me. Others like Freud, Jung, Hindu’s, Buddhists have different descriptions, but it all about focusing things from and in the spiritual realm.   

Now in my fourth stage, I’m back to religion, church, the Holy Spirit, scripture. I need to revisit Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, CS Lewis, Kierkegaard, Goethe, Pasternak, and yes Ayn Rand too. Just to name a few. These were influential in my second stage. It’ll be interesting to see how differently I read and experience those writings.

Lastly it’ll be interesting how I’ll influence others, what I have to teach, share, and what more do I have to learn.  

TEOTWAWKI. Apocalypse, Gathering

Given the massive strife here in the US, and the evil blossoming from the Middle East, and all the dystopia and apocalyptic shows and movies, I sometimes wonder. I’m not so concerned about the apocalypse, but TEOTWAWKI, The End Of The World As We Know It. 

Will Europe still be Europeans, will we have anything even close to privacy with all the government and corporate surveillance, will the hatred exhibited by Black movements (Black Lives Matter, New Black Panthers, Black Panthers), White Supremacy and the racist clash between the two result in a race war?

The meme for Comic Book based TV shows. I’d hate to live in the DC world. Good guys teaming up and arguing with each other, blaming themselves for things they have no control over, bickering, while the evil guys are focused and kicking ass. In the Marvel world much the same. 

In movies, film scholar Kristen Thompson: “…twenty-five disaster movies appeared throughout the eighties. But in the nineties fifty-six disaster movies were released… From 2000-2009 over sixty apocalyptic films were released, and about the same 2010-2016. 

Incessant doom and gloom. Incessant race and cultural conflict. Incessant climate doom and gloom, we’re all going to die soon. Much of the angst is because of all the divisions between groups, male against female, race against race, governments doing terrible and stupid things, corporations doing terrible and stupid things. What do we turn to? More government, more breaks for corporations, more riots, more technological surveillance, and more political failure. Just doubling down on what got us here in the first place. Before when we talked about apocalyptic events, they were religious or spiritual. All those things mentioned earlier, are all secular. Yet we keep turning to secular solutions.

The idea of this arose out of the sermon today, based partially on Isaiah 56:1-2.

1: This is what the Lord says:

“Be just and fair to all.

Do what is right and good,

for I am coming soon to rescue you

and to display my righteousness among you.

2: Blessed are all those

who are careful to do this.

Blessed are those who honor my Sabbath days of rest

and keep themselves from doing wrong.

Gathering on the Sabbath, whatever day you select, shows the answer is in gathering together. At our jobs we have all races, all religious backgrounds and beliefs and work together just fine. Gathering together on the Sabbath, looking beyond secular solutions, to corporately share something outside that secular life we experience daily, has the answer. More technology, business and government don’t. 

Just for starters, if every person that calls himself/herself a Christian actually gathered with other Christians on the Sabbath, how calming that would be? 

Apocalypse means unveiling, revelation. From that we know that on the other side of it, will be revealed good news; it is an ending to all this horribleness and divisiveness. Our not going to experience that, the gathering to reconnect with each other outside of the secular, leaves us almost entirely with the secular and solutions that don’t work. 

At the center of any Sabbath gathering is the Eucharist, Communion, sharing at the table, sharing bread and wine. Nothing is more important than doing this every time Christians come together. That gathering for that ritual, brings us all so very close together, brings a calm. 

Personally, I’m not a calm man, and this centering every week is vital to me. If it’s vital to one, then that means it vital for many, and I hope for all. All Christians going to Church would have a profound impact on the conflict and hatred rampant in the world. There are about 247 million people in the US that claim to be Christian. Think of the calming effect on the nation if we all went to Church. That experience moves out into the secular world. We know this “apocalyptic” time looks to gloomy and ultimately destructive because no one, including Christians that don’t gather, can see beyond the secular. They can’t see God’s heavenly creation beyond: can't see what is revealed. 

Think how much conflict and hatred would be reduced, if millions more that professed Christian faith, would gather together. How helpful that it would be to be just and fair to all, and do what is right and good, and know that Christ will come to rescue us, and see heaven and righteousness, and how blessed all of those that do this thing would be.

Pie in sky? I think not, but Christ in the sky, revealing Good News? I think so.  

How the 'No Such Thing As Gender' People Are Endangering Women

Certainly it’s most important to keep studying and reading, going to sources that one wouldn’t do ordinarily, because stuff never even considered shows up as really important. I’m saying this as an ancient citizen from experience. The effect that denying gender causes pain, suffering and death to women because of medicines prescribed to them is one of them.

Regardless of what feminists, PC psychologists and psychiatrists, scared neurosurgeons and neuro researchers, are saying about there being no difference between men and women, when it comes to dosage between the two genders, when no adjustment is made, women suffer and sometimes die. With the side effects of that sometimes women have accidents and people get killed.

For example, in 2013 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cut the dosage in half for Ambien, having known for 20 years women metabolized the active ingredient zolpidem more slowly than men. That and a sleeping pill, Restoril, may have caused about 500,000 early deaths; from overdoses, car crashes and falls. 

I’m ancient enough to remember the Thalidomide tragedy of the 1950’s. The research on the effects were primitive. An FDA scientist, Frances Oldham Kelsey, for years did research on it, and it took years of her collecting data before anyone accepted something really bad was happening. This drug, by the way, was for morning sickness during pregnancy. Women in Europe were taking it, and about 2,000 children died, and about 10,000 were born with defects; no or partial limbs. The lab tests for this drug on animals were only on male animals. (Fortunately the FDA didn’t approve it. Knowing their track record and corruption, we can only thank chance.) 

From that time until 2014, in all tests and studies, it was never mentioned in reports that almost exclusively male animals were tested on. Even when tests were done for female specific diseases, only 12% of the animals tested were female. Excuse given was there are too many things, like chemical responses, to test for variables. 

That’s the base. Drugs designed for women were rarely tested on women. The FDA approved these, causing a lot of damage to women. 

Which brings us to the present. There are differences in brain hemispheres, and how left and right brain interact. There are differences between brain parts, like the hypothalamus and hippocampus, different baseline amounts of neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine). 

If you’re a neuroscientist, or neurosurgeon, and you point this out, you’re labeled as a ‘neurosexist’ and your report on findings are ‘neurotrash’.  Your study can be blocked from science journals, you can lose funding. This is done by anti-gender feminists and other various PC people, none of whom have any neuroscience education or training. They are usually people from the “soft sciences” like sociology and psychology.

Even with hard science data stating that because a man came up with the results, it’s biased and by definition sexist. They believe reality is different for men and women. I have a hard time squaring this with their argument there is no differences between the sexes; or that there is more than one gender. 

Another charge that just stuns, is that unless a neuroscientist has been trained or had classes in “gender scholarship” their hard science findings are invalid. This is scary stuff, and for some reason the non-gender, anti-science people have been able to get such power scientists are afraid to speak out, though a few have. 

At the core of “gender scholarship” is “intersectionality”. I’ve heard the term before, and still have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Here’s the definition: “…the principle that important social identities like gender, ethnicity, and social class mutually constitute, reinforce, and naturalize one another”. I think what that means is one must take race over gender (black over white), female over male, and class (poor over rich). White males I’m sure are at the bottom of this fabricated hierarchy. Apparently hard science results are unacceptable unless “intersectionality” theory is applied. 

As a result we have women overdosing on meds, having increased traffic accidents (involving others), and incorrect or ineffective medical treatment. All because  PC Totalitarians that have power and don’t know what they’re talking about are forcing the people that do know what they are talking about to do their bidding or suffer the consequences.  

Some Thoughts on the Transgenderist Movement

With the full throated attack on Trump moving from Russian Collusion and Transgender issues, I’m back-peddling a bit to some thoughts on the Transgender Movement. It’s a movement. It is forcing people to not only accept, but to advocate and endorse a surgical procedure that purports to change genders. This is from the same group of people that claim Conservatives and Christians deny science. 

Here’s the science. Males bear an XY chromosome and females XX. No amount of surgery, or training and no amount of psychiatry or psychological conditioning can change that. There’s an internal sense of one’s maleness or femaleness, and that subjective gender identity gets confused in some, and it’s been named as “gender dysphoria”.  It’s in the American Psychiatric Association’s fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Psychologists and psychiatrists working in this field have done many studies showing most children that experience this, by their teenage years, identify with their birth gender. 

That’s one of many reasons why gender reassignment is so wrong on many levels. More specifically it’s child abuse. What kind of parent or professional sanctions this monumental change? How many of us have heard some middle age celebrity say they’re finally “comfortable in their own skin”?  (A meaningless and worthless statement).Yet that same mindset advocates for this radical surgery because a child wants it? 

It also means dependency on the medical system for the rest of their lives. Side effects often include cancer and deep vein thrombosis. Psychiatry must be ongoing. Children that go through with this are five times more likely to commit suicide that other kids in their age group.

The totalitarian mindset displays itself with the transgenderists. They turned it into a civil rights issue, saying if one doesn’t agree with them, the civil rights of the child is being violated. Civil Rights can be weaponized too. And of course, you’re a bigot (of some sort).

As an example there’s a K-12 charter school, Nova Classical Academy, in St Paul, Minnesota. Very prestigious. In 2015 the school sent a letter to parents that the school is in support of a trans-gendering student. Part of the letter read: “…describes children whose identities, appearances, behaviors, or interests do not fit traditional societal expectations associated with their sex assigned at birth. It is important to note that this expression of gender is ever-changing as students are constantly exploring many different aspects of their identity…” That would be the basis for teaching all the kids in the school about the desirability and beauty of being transgender. 

Parents for the most part objected, and many were outraged. The school quoted laws that said they were obligated to support and teach that transgenderism is good and desirable. There were meetings between the school and parents. Want to guess who showed up, protesting and threatening violence? LGBT activist groups. Lots of ugliness ensued. 

Psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors involved know this is harmful, dangerous and wrong. They see all the inherent problems and see it as child abuse, are afraid to speak out. Totalitarian mindset and weaponized civil rights laws. Those that don’t have been cowed and are in fear of the anti-gender activists. Remember, if you disagree with the Left, you will be hunted down and destroyed. Of course there are some PC professionals, and in my view if they support this should be stripped of their license. 

Nothing is mentioned in the, well, not debate, but directives, from the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education (thank you Orwell), about the damage it does to families. If a father transgenders, what’s that do to the kids, the wife? Or if the mother transgenders? How does it affect friendships? There are huge social consequences. 

Natural law is rejected, and these people believe that whatever “self” believes is itself  reality. “Self” overrides everything. Christians believe that God’s creation is perfect, we are created in His image. Natural Law is how it’s expressed. There’s an order to things. We have free will, and can use it within those laws to manifest what good there is in nature and in Self. Look back at the excerpt of the school letter, “…with their sex assigned at birth”. What? God assigns, or nature assigns, the wrong chromosome and puts it in the wrong gender? Don’t think so.  

This is rejecting science, natural law, biology, and neuroscience. This is not good.  

Let's Look at the People in Charge at Charlottesville That Blamed Trump

The lies and accusations are that Charlottesville was President Trump’s fault. What Leftists/Democrats do is blame others and become the victim. Yes, they have millennial snowflakes at the height of political power, one percenters, that are well into their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s that play that victim card, and the race card even if they're rich white people. And of course all those born from the late 1970’s on, whatever you want to label them. Here are the players that refused to accept the results of their decisions. 

Starting with Jason Kessler who founded the Alt-Right White Supremacist organization "Unite the Right" is no doubt a political manipulator. He's the one that launched to protest. Legally, with permits. It’s difficult, by the way, to get straight information on this guy. Southern Poverty Law Center is a radical Leftist, racist, anti-white hate organization. Another site, “Business Insider” labels “The Daily Caller” as an extremist right wing publication. It's pretty much just old fashioned traditional journalism. What can be said is Kessler's White Nationalist claim began late 2016. Up until then he was a Leftist involved in “Occupy Wall Street”, and a Clinton, Obama supporter. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) web site: 

“Rumors abound on white nationalist forums that Kessler’s ideological pedigree before 2016 was less than pure and seem to point to involvement in the Occupy movement and past support for President Obama.

At one recent speech in favor of Charlottesville’s status as a sanctuary city, Kessler live-streamed himself as an attendee questioned him and apologized for an undisclosed spat during Kessler’s apparent involvement with Occupy. Kessler appeared visibly perturbed by the woman’s presence and reminders of their past association.“   

A shady lying manipulator.

Terry McAuliffe is another Leftist/Democrat schemer. He’s governor now, and made a lot of shady deals moving upwards in the Democrat Party. He was once head of the Democratic National Committee. He was a Clinton operative, did dirty tricks during election cycles for both Clintons, and is currently under investigation for some shady and probably illegal business dealings with the Communist Chinese. It looks like he was part of the decision for the police to stand down even though it was known the Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other violent Leftist groups were going to be there. He said an internal investigation will suffice, but US AG Sessions is having none of that.

Methinks the biggest culprit in this mess is Black Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy. Big time known racist, now reports are coming out he was responsible for holding the police back when the violent Leftist hate groups Antifa and Black Lives Matter, that didn’t have a permit, started physical confrontations with the other group that did have a permit. Bellamy has had his tweets taken down. Here’s a couple examples: “I hate seeing white people” and “beanpole white women.” He even hates Black people that talk white. 

So here’s a vid of the Antifa people showing up. By the way, when the police did finally take action, they funneled the people (don’t care if they’re white supremacists or not for now) there, with a permit, to protest the taking down of the Robert E Lee statue, into the Antifa organization. Antifa and other professional Leftist protesters wear the same uniform at all the protests they bring violence to all over the United States. Black clothes and masks. Just like ISIS and terrorist worldwide do.
