TRUMP AS IN TRUMPET

Signs of the End Times that some of us are feeling to be closing in on us these days, are the rpominent place of Israel in the news, wars and rumors of wars which are also in the news every day lately, Ukraine versus Russia but a feeling of rumblings behind the scenes from other directions too.  the increase over the lst decade or so of a particularly malevolent kind of immoral mental set, such as in the idea that biolobical males should be allowed to be treated as female if that is what they hap0pen to want, and allowed to compete against biolobical females in sports as if biology didn't matter, their greater tstrength  meaning nothing at all while what they imagine to be the case is taken for rality.  And allowed to be in locker rooms with the opposite biological sex.  This is so insane it is hard to imaexplain how it could ever have come to this.   Criticical race theory which brands the whawhite race as inherently racist is a profound evil that has also been growing over the last few years.  Trump and his wonderful group of cabinet members and other helpers is p0ushing back on these things, but they are continuing in the world and wherever his administration can'[t yet reach, if it ever will be able to.  We hope but who kjows.  there are also earthquakes and eceptionally powerful weather events latelyh, nothing that hasn'[t existed before butr a lot of them it seems coming close together.  Disasters like the plane crases.  Universityh students supporting the vicious Islamists against the Jews.  This is a big one I should have put first.  

These things are unprecedented in history I think.  If I'm wrong I'd like to hear when and where it ever happened before that such things were part of the public discourse let alone strongly supported morally righteous positions that are of course the exact opposite of morallyh righteous.  Sheer evil.

I pray a lot of the success of Trump and the side of true righteousness to prevail, as I'm sure many others are also doing.    Prayer got him into office and it is clear that God is blessing our effdorts and his.  We just keep praying and hoping.  It was a miracle that kept him from an aassassin's bullet.  

But the evil trends are the signs that we re in the end times.  If they get pushed back for a while, horroray, it will mean that the end times are not quite as close as we thought, but its hard to believe theyh are just going to go away.  

And now as I wrote about in my previous post I'[m thinking there are signs that we could avhave the true Antichrist in place in a fvery short time.  Yes I'm big on signs and portents, symbols.  The thirteens in the story of Pope francis are a big symbolic portent to my mind.  So many of them all clustered together.  And next year in March I see aother one coming.  Sure I could be getting carried away playing with ideas that don'[t really mean what I htinki they could mean.  Sure.  But boy do they look pregnant with meaning to me.  

And now I'm tyhinknging again fo the name Trump.  When he first came to my attention my first thought was yes, here comes the Last Trumpet.  tta's what the name suggests.  the last trumpet is when the end times begin in power, when the Church is rapture d away and the Antichrist comes to reign and the seven ear tribultion gets underway before the return of Jesus Christ.  

Names in the Bible usually have some meaning attached to them, often connected with the history of Isxrael.  God gives Hosea names for his three children for instance which point to particular events and istuations on the prophetic calendar for His people.   God certainly does give signs and symbols of prophetic happenings.  \

\the film the Star of Bethlehem which can be found at You tube is an exploration of the signs God put in the sky to mark the events of the first coming of Jesus the Messiah.  Many events in the sky from constellationsof the Zodiac and planets  including moon and sun within them.  Could make your hair stND ON END.  

sO i TRY NOT TO TAKE MY OWN MUSINGS TOO SERIOUSLY BUT BOY ARE THESE A BUNCH OF THINGS IT'S HARD NOT TO TAKE SERIOUSLY.    

wATCH, hE COMANDS US.  wAT CHH, DON'T BE ASLEEP DURING THIS TIME.  iT COULD ALL BEGIN IN A BLINDING FLASH AND IF YOU ARE ASLEEP YOU COULD MISS IT.

kEEPING AN eYE ON THE sICK pOPE

 iT'S BEEN, WHAT , A COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW i THINK, SINCE pOPE fRANCIS CAME DOWN WITH BRONCHITIES, WHICH TURNED TO DOUBLE PNEUMONIA IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.  sINCE i'VEW BEEN MAINTAINING THAT THIS pOPE COULD VERY WELL BE THE FINAL aNTICHRIST DURIN GTHE tRIBULATION PERIOD THAT SO MANY OF US FEEL IS IMMINENT, i'M PATICULARLY INTERESTED IN HOW HE FARES DURING THIS ILLNESS.  hE'S EIGHTEY EIGHT AND DOUBLE PNEUMONIA IS A PRETTY SERIOUS CONDITION AT THAT AGE.  iF HE DIES OF COURSE MY PREDICTION, SUCH AS IT IS, i MEAN i DON'T CLAMP DOWN HARD ON IT BECAUSE WHO KNOWS, i JUST DO THINK IT IS VERY LIKELY, ANYWAY THAT PREDICTION FALLS PARAT IF HE DIES.  END OF MY CANDIDATE FOR THE FINAL aNTICHRIST.

pOPE fRANCIS STRUCK ME FROM THE BEGINNING AS A PSECIALLY GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE ROLE FOR MANY REASONS.  tHE DAY HE WAS ELECTED WAS FULL OF LITTLE PORTENTS OR SMBOLS FOR INSTANCE, BEING THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE THIRD MONTH OF THE YEAR TWENTY THIRTEEN, AND EVEN THE HOUR CARRIED THE PORTENT BECAUSE IT COUNTS TO SIX SIX SIX IF YOU TURN THE HOUR INTO MINUTES.  i'M FORGETTING HOW THAT ADDED UP BUT i DID WRITE A POST ON IT BACK AT THE TIME WHICH SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH TO FIND.  tRY CHIMNEY OR WHITE SMOKE OR SEAGULL IN THE SEARCH BOS.   i'LL TRY IT MYSELF AFTER i WRITE THIS.

yES i LIKE SUCH SYMBOLISM AND IN THIS CASE IT JUMPS OUT AT YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORCE IT.  jUST AS YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORCE THE NUMBER SIX SIX SIX AS THE SUM OF THE ROMAN nUMBERALS IN ONE OF THE TITLE S OF THE pOPE, WHICH i'VE ALSO POSTED ON MANY TIMES HERE.   THE VERY TITLE OF THE pOPE, vICAR OF gOD, SORRY vICAR OF cHRIST, IS A NAME OF THE aNTICHRIST, YOU ALMOST DON'T NEED TO BOTHER WITH ANYOTHER PROOFS, BUT FOR THE TITLE IN lATIN TO ADD UP TO THAT INFAMOUS NUIMBER FORM rEVELATION tHIRTEEN IS STRONG CONFIRMATION.   aND THEN pOPE fRANCIS TURNS OUT TO BE ONE OF HE MOST UNcHRISTIAN, EVEN aNTICchRISTIAN pOPES WHO EVER ASCENDED TO THAT PAGAN OFFICE.   tHE pROTESTANT rEFORMERS IDENTIFIED THE pOPOES, THE PAPACY ITSELF, AS THE SEAT OF aNTICHRIST, ALTHOUGH IT TOOK THEM SOME STRUGGLING WITH THE SCRIPTURE TO FINALLY SEE IT, AND MANY OF THE DISSIDENT cHRISTIANS DOWN THE CENTURIES, SUCH AS THE wALDENISIANSNS, IDENTIFIED THE pOPE AS aNTICHRIST.  cHRIS pINTO DID A STUDY OF THAT WHICH i THINK CAN BE FOUND AT HIS SITE, nOISE OF tHUNDER rADIO OR aDULLAM fILMAZS, AND i DID A POST ON THAT TOO, THOUGH i'M NOT SURE WHAT SEARCH TERMS WOULD WORK IN THAT CASE.  bECAUSE OF MY BLINDNESS i CAN'T USE THE TAG WRODS AT THE BOTTOM OF A BPOST TO HELP LOCATE POSTS WHICH IS A BIG HANDICAPT.  

sO i'VE BEEN PATING ATTENTION TO THE NEWS ABOUT THIS pOPE'S CURRENT ILLNESS.  tHE LATEST i'VE HEARD IS THAT HE SEEMS TO BE DOING A LITTLE BIT BETTER, HAS NO FEVER AND STABLE BLOOD WORK.  i DON'T PRAY ABOUT THE ISTUATION AT ALL BECAUSE OF MY PREDICTION OF COURSE, EXCEPT THAT gOD'S WILL BE DONE, BUTG i'VE BEEN PRETTY SURE ALL ALONG THAT HE'S GOING TO RECOVER BECAUSE i REALLY DO THINK THE rEFOREMRS HASD IT RIGHT ABOUT THE pAPACY AS THE aNTICHRIT AND THE SYMBOLISM THAT HAS ACCOMPANIED THIS PARTICULAR pOPE  IS JUST TOO HEAVY TO IGNORE.   i COULD BE WRONG NEVERTHELEDSS BUT MY OVERALL INCLINATION IS TOWARD HIS COMPLETE RECOVERY.  

aS i WAS THINKING ABOUT ALL THIS A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO i WAS AGAIN PONDERING HIS AGE WHICH MAKES IT IFFY THAT HE COULD LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO PALAY THE ROLE OF aNCICHRIST.  pEOPLE ARE LIVING LONGER THESE DAYS THOUGH SO LIVING EVEN INTO HIS NINETIES ISN[T TERRIBLY UNLIKELY.    aS i WAS PONDERING ALL THIS i REALIZED THAT NECXT YEAR ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ELECTION TO THE PAPACY COULD BE A TELLING DATE BECAUSE THE YEAR TWENTY SIX IS TWICE THIRTEEN, MAKING THE DATE THE THIRD MONTH THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE DOUBLE THIRTEENTH YEAR.  sOMETHING COULD HAPPEN ON THAT DATE.  THAT COULD BE THE DAY HE CONFIRMS THE COVERNANT WITH iSRAEL PERHAPS, WHICH IS FORESHADOWED IN THE BOOK OF dANIEL, CHAPTER HINE?   yOU HAVE TO STARTED COUNTING DAYS AT THAT POINT IF YOU THINK OF THAT AS THE FIRST DAY OF THE SEVENTIETH YEAR, OSWSZORRY WEEK OF dANIEL, SEVENTIETH WEEK OF dANIEL, WHICH IS THE SAME AS THE SEVEN YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.  THE NUMBERS IN DANIEL COUNT DOWN A THREE AND AHALF YEAR PERIOD WHICH IS UNDERSTOOD TO BEGIN AT THE MIDPOINT OF THE tRIBULTION AND BE THE STARTING POINT OF THE great tRIBULATION WHICH THE lORD SAYS WOULD WIPE OUT ALL HUMANITY IF gOD DIDN'T SHORTEN IT.   aT THAT IDPOINT, AT LEAST ACORDING OT THE eND tIMES SYSTEM KNOWN AS tHE pRE TRIBULATION rAPTURE SYSTEM,   DRAT OST TRACK OF MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.  

iTS GONE, i CAN'T RECOVER IT RIGHT NOW.  anYWAY, THE RAPTURE SHOUDL OCCUR SOMETIE BEFORE THE COVERANTN MADE BY TGHE aNTICHRIST WITH iSRAEL, SO ANYTIE BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT YEAR ON THAT mARCH DATE.  aLL THE TRUE cHRISTIANS WILL BE RAPTURED OFF THE PLANETAND THOSE WHO ARE LEFT WILL ALL BE UNBELIEVERS, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY WILL INCLUE MOST cATHOLICS AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT THE TRUE WAY OF SALVATION, WHICH PUTS ALL TRUST IN cHRIST hIMSELF.  THEY ARE BURDEDNED D BWITH ALL SORTS OF PAGAN BAGGAGE SUCH AS PARRAYERS TO mARY AND THE cATHOLIC sANITS, .  tHEY NED TO LEARN SCRIPTURE WHICH MAKES IT CLEAR THAT SALVATION IS BY cHRIST ALONE THORUGH FAITH ALONE, ALL GOOD DEEDS ACONTRIBUTING NOTHING TO THE BLESSING.  gOOD DEEDS ARE THE RESULT, NJOT TH E THE CAUSE. OF DSALVATION.    i PRAY FOR MANYH OF THOSE DECEIVED cARTHOLICS TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER UNBELIEVERS WHO WILL ALSO BE ALIVE DURING THE TRIBULTION PERIOD WHEN THE aNTICHRIST BECOMES THE RULER OF THE WROLD.

sO SYMBOLISM OF TH SORT THAT ATTACHES TO THIS pOPE DOES SEEM TO BME TO BE PRETTY PORTENTOUS BUT AGAIN i COULD BE WRONG.  hOWEVER, IF i'M RIGHT, AND PERHAPS i'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS i JUST DON'T KNOW, cHRIS pINTO MAY BE SAYING SOMETHING SIMILAR THOUGH I CAN'T EGET TO HIS SITE ANY MNORE.  aNYWAY THE TRIBULTION WOULD START NEXT YEAR IN mARCH, THE aNTICHRIST WOULD SHOW HIS COLORS IN HORRIFIC STRENGTH ABOUT sEPTEMBER THIRTEENTH OF TWENTY NINE, AND jESUS WOULD RETURN AROUND mARCH OF tHIRTY THREE, BUT READ THE RELEVANT CHAPTERS OF dANIEL AND COUNT VERY CAREFULLY.  

i'VE BEEN WRONG ABOUT THE RAPTURE.  oF COURSE WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN THE RAPTURE IS TO OCCUR, AS JESUS TESLLS US, NOT EVEN THE sON KNOWS, ONLY THE fATHER, BUT IF WE'[RE VERY CLOSE AS IT FEELS TO A LOT OF US TO BE THE CASE, THEN WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING EUP0 A LOT THESE DAYS AND STARTING TO EXPECT IT ANY MONINUTE.   i STILL LIKE hrOSH hAOSHANAH AS A LIKELY DATE ENVEN THOUGH i KWNOW WE AREN'T TO KNOWN THE TIME,  o i'TS HARD TO IMAGINE THAT A N EVNENT AS MOMENTOUS ASNTSAS THE rAPTURE WOUDN'T OCCUR ON ONE OF THE hIGH hOLY dAYS.  bUT AGAIN, i COULD BE WRONG.  i WAS WRONG WHEN i THOUGH IT COULD HAPPEN A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT DIDN'T.  aND i'M NOT GOING TO PREDICT IT AGAIN THE SAME WAY.  bUT i DO LIKE THIS SCENARIO i'[M DESCRIBING HER FOR THE RISE OF THE aNTICHRIST.  iF THE pRE tRIB SCENARIO IS RIGHT i WON'T BE HERE FOR THE EVENT, BUT WHOEVER HAPPENS TO READ THIS IF IT DOES HAPPEN COULD WELL BENEFIT FROMT HE KNOWLEDGE, WHICH IS WHAT i ALSWAYS HOPE WILL BE THE RESULT OF MYH POSTS.

cOME, lORD jESUS.

lATER:  aNOTHER PART OF TH E PORTENT i MANAGED TO LEAVE OUT IS THAT NEXT YEAR'S ANNIVERSARY OF THE pOPE'S ELECTION IS ALSO THE THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSAYRY, THIRTEEN YEARS SINCE THE ELECTION ALONG WITH THE THIRTEENS IN THE DATE ITSELF MAKING QJUITE A SYBOLIC EXPLISION OF SORTS DON'[T YOU THINK?

sOME mORE cOMMENTS fROM THE gREAT aMERICAN pOLITICAL dIVIDE.

tAKES ME FOREVER TO GET BACK TO A POST LIKE THIS, WHERE i PASTED SOME urlS TO yOU tUBE METERIAL i WANTED TO TALK ABOUT FOR ONE REASON FOR ANOTHER.  aND AFTER SO MUCH TIME HAS GONE BY IT'S JUST HARD TO GET BACK TO IT AND i MAY NOT IN THIS CASE EITHER.  i DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE FIRST LINKE IS TO HEATHER cOX rICHARDSON AGAIN, THE LIBERAL WHOSE COMMENTS DRIVE ME TO CARRY ON FOR WAY TOO MUCH TIMJE ABOUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER WACKO THINKING.  sHE'S WRONG ABOUT SO MAY THINGS AND IN SOME CASES WRONG IN A WAY THAT MAKES ME SUSPECT SHE KNOWS SHE'S WRONG SO IN FCT SHE'S LYING AND MAKING HERSELF ANOTHER TOOL OF LEFTIST PROPAGANDA.   iF i TRY TO GET INTO IT i'LL CRIVE MYSELF CRAZY AND i'M NOT UP TO IT RIGHT NOW.    bESIDEAS IT'S NOW fEBRUARY THE TWENTY FIRST, tHURSDAYH AND A LOT OF TIME HAS ELAPSED SINCE i POSTED THIS.  

THE OTHER urls ARE, OR SO i THINK ANYWAY, FROM MY SIEDE OF THE POLITICAL FENCE AND IN SOME CSES PROBABLY CHOSEN BECAUSE THEY ADDRESS SOME OF THE THINGS rICHARDSON SAYS IN HER TALK.  i'[M GUESSING BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SO LONG.  

saturday the 22nd.  Just heard a little of two of Richardson's videos.  I don't wknow which of hers is at the URL I posted below, maybe one of the two I just listened to or maybe a different one.  but they are all frighteningly evil.  theyu are all frighteningly evil.  Richardson is a standard liberal leftist in one way but she is even worse than that in other ways.  She does what leftists do, accuse the right of what the Left is actually guilty of, and she is very aggressive about it.   Shre twists historical facts in odd little ways.  I need to illustrate this with quotes and I can only tdo that if I spend a lot of time listening to her and taking apart her talks bit by bit.  If I am pup to that at some time, great, but right now all I cn do is make general stat3ements and hope to come back to it later.  What's scary is that people who don't know anything about history or the current plitical situation exaexcept what their favorite talking heads tell them are going to be taken in by her and others like her.  

the way she characterizes conservatives, , Elon Musk, MAGA, is sheer evil, hard to stomach.  Either if she sincerely believes it or is a conniving propagandist she is evil.  to believe that stuff is to commit violence against your fellow human beings.

 Race, Nuclear War & Writing Advice | Glenn Loury & John McWhorter | The Glenn Show

wELL, i HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT WOULD WORK, ARROGANT THOUGH i SUPPOSE THT SOUNDS.  aLL i'VE HEARD SO FAR IS jOHN mCwHORTER SAYING THAT "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD CHANGE A CULTURE" BECUASE VARIOUS THINGS HAVE BEEN TRIED AND THE POVERTY PERSISTS.  THEY CAN IDENTIFY MANY OF THE ATTITUDES WITHIN THE POVERTY CULTURE THAT MAINTAIN THE POVERTY,  ATTITUDES TOWARD WORK, TOWARD WHITE SOCIETY IN THE CASE OF BLACKS AND TOWARD SUPPOSEDLY WHITE VALUES SUCH AS EDUCATION AND WHITE W

   OOPS TYPE THERE, NOT WHITE BUTG CERTTAIN KINDS OF WORK THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS WHITE, ANYTHING BOOKIESH FOR INSANCE.  bOTH lOURY AND mCwHORTER ARE COLLEGE PROFESSORS, VERYB BOOKISH GUYES, BUT THEY CAN'T GET ANYWHERE WITH OTHER BLACKS IN THE COMMUNITY WHO GROW UP PREJUDICED AGAINST BOOKISHNESS.  

aLL GOOD OBSEVATIONS OF COURSE.  aND HE'S RIGHT THAT "WE" DON'T KOW HOW TO CHANGE A CULTURE.  iT CAN'T BE DONE BY ANY OF THE MEANS USUALLY TRIED AN D CONSIDERED.  

bURT.  wHAT DOES CHANGE CULTGURE, WHAT HAS IN THE PAST CHANGED CULTURE ON A MASSIVE SCALE.  cHANGED THE WHOLE OF WESTERN CIVILICAZATION INTO THE MUCH GREATERSOCIEYT THAN HAD EVER BEFORE EXISTED AND THEN aMERICA INTO AN EVEN BETTER MORE SUCCESSFUL MORE PROPEROUS SOCIETY, AND THAT IS cHRISTIANITY.  sURE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER GREAT CDIVILIZATIONS BUT NOENE OF THEM COULD BE CHARACTERIZED AS ANYWHERE NEAR THE LEVEL OF LIBERTY AND EQUALITY FOR ALL AS THE WETSST FIRST OF ALL AND THEN aMERICA IN PARTICULAR ATTAINED.  tHOSE OTHER CIVILIZATION S ALL HAD A CLASS SOCIETY IN WHICH THE UPPORER POPULATION GREATLEY EXCEEDED THE FAR GREATER HUMBERS BELOW THEM IN EVERY BENEFIT THE SOCIETY HAD TO OFFER.  oNLYU cHRISTIANITY CAN CREATE A CULTURE THAT APPROACHES EQUALITY AND LIBERTY.  iF IT WERE PERFECTLY APPLIED, WHICH OF COURSE IN THIS FALLEN WORLD IT NEVER HAS BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE, THEN WE WOULD HAVE PERFECT EQUALITY AND LIBERTY, INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS AND GREAT GENERAL PROSPERYTY.  eVEN IN eUROPE WHERE IT WAS THE rOMAN cHURCH, HAMPERED BY ITS PAGAN ROOTS BUT STILL THE SOURCE OF SOME GENUINE cHRISTIAN INFLUENCE, THEY COULD ONLY GET SO FAR BECAUSE OF THAT PARTICULAR HANCIDAPT BUT IN aMERICA ITS' JUST ATH THERE ARE TOO MANY ANTIcHRISTIANS TO MAKE IT WORK AS IT COULD IN A PERFECT WORLD.

asO.  GO INTO THE POOR COMMUNITIES.  YES cHRISTAINITY IS PREACHED IN aPPALACHIA BUT SOMETHING IS LACKING THERE IN HOW IT IS LIVED.  THAT WOULD TAKE SOME STUDY AND ADJUSTMENT.  bUT IN THE BLACK COMMUNNITIES, WHERE YES cHRISTIANITY IS ALSO TO SOME EXTENT INFLUENCTIAL i THINK IT JUST NEEDS TO BE GREATLEY INCREASED AND TAUGHT MORE WIDELY AMONG THE PEOPLE.  tHE MORALITY ALONE BUT OF COURSE SALVATION PRIMARILY.   iT'S THE ETHICS OF LOVING YOUR HNNEIGHBOR, DOING NO VIOLENGCE TO YOUR NEIGHTBOR, THE PRINCIPLE OF COMING JUDGMENT FOR SIN, THE VALUE OF HARD WORK AND DOING ALL YOU DO WITH ENERGY AND HONESTY FOR THE lORD hIMSELF, IF ALL THAT AND MORE IS TAKEN TO HEART YOU COULD CHANGE THE CULTURE AND i DON'T THINK ANYTHING ELSE IS GOING TO CHANGE IT.  sURE, ALONG WITH THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE ALL KINDS OF PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO PUT PEOPLE TO WORK WHO ARE AT THE SAME TIME IMBIBING THE DOCTRINE, AL KINDS OF PROGRAMS WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE TO BENEFIT THEM IN VARIOUS WAYS.  THER EIS ILLITERACT AMONG THEM, SO ORGANIZE GROUPS TO TEACH READING.  oR DO IT ONE ON ONE,M ONE NEIGHBRO TEACHING ANOTHER.  mANY POSSIBILITIES.  lOURY AND mCwHORTER ARE AWARE OF A BLACK ORGANIZATION HEADED BY wOODSON OR SOME UCH NAME WHO WANTS TO DO THAT SORT OF THING WITHIN COMMUNNITIES.  gIVE IT IT A cHRISTIA FOUNDATION AND GO FOR IT.  

yOU NEED DEDICATED EVANGELISTS FOR STARTERS.wELL      wELL, i THINK THIS IS WHAT WE THE PEOPLOE OF aMERICA IN GENERAL NEED ANYWAY, A BIG REVIVAL OF cHRISTIANITY BECAUSE ALTHOUGH WE HAVE THE FOUNDATIONS STILL IN PLACE TO SOME EXTENT THROUGHOUT THE NATION THE MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE cHURCH IS JUST ABOUT NONEXISTENT THESE DAYS.  jUST CONSIDER THE IMMENSE CUORRUPTION THEY ARE DISCOVERING IN THE GOVERNMENT, THE doge TEAM i MEAN.  pEOPLE WHO FEAR gOD CAN'T DO SUCH THINGS, THEY JUST CAN'T.  aND i THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT aMERICA BECAME THE POWERFUL PROSPEROUS NATION IT DID BECAUSE THE PEOPLE AT LARGE REALLY DID BELIEVE THE BIBLE, WHE WHOL STORY, THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF cHRUSTI  cHRIZT  cHRIST, BUT ALL THE MORAL TEACHINGS AS WELL FROM THE tEN cOMMANDMENTS THROUGH THE bOOK OF pROVERBS AND ALL THE STORIES IN THE oLD TESTEMTN MEANT TO TEACH US HOW THE mORAL lAW WORKS.   wE NEED A POWERFUL REVIVAL OF bIBLICAL TRUTH THROUGHJOUT aMERICAN SOCIETIY.  tRUMJ'S PRESIDENCY IS A VERY GOOD THING BUT WITHOUT A SOLID cHRISTIAN FOUNDATION IT CAN'T LAST VERY LONG IN THIS ALLEN WORLD.   so.  yES, i THINK AN INTENSIVE EVANGELISM IN THE BLACK COMMUNITIES, REALLY INTENSEIVE , AND IN aPPALACHIA TOO WHERE cHRISTIANITY EXISTS BUT IN A PRETTY ROTE AND STALE FORM, BRINGING IT ALL BACK TO LIVFE WITH ITS ORIGINAL SUPERNATURAL POWER, YES THAT WOULD CHANGE THE CULTURE TOWARD CONSTRUCTIVE PEACEMAKING NONVIOLENT NEIGHBOR HEALPING NEIGHBOR SORTS OF EFFECTS THAT SHOULD INCREASE EVERYBODY'S WEALTH AND WELLBEING IN ALL THE COMMUNITIES THAT EMBRACE THE TEACHING.  yuyES.tHEN ALOLNG WITH THAT DO ALL THIE THINGS lOURY SUGGESTS AS WELL.

nOW YOU CAN CHEW MY HEAD OFF.

iSRAEL AND tRUMP

 Peace & Security of Biblical Proportion

AN mARKELL'S uNDERSTANDING THE tIMES RADIO SHOW HAS HA A LOT OF GOOD PROGRAMS RECENTLY BUT i HAVE BEEN SO PREOCCUPIED WITH OTHER THIG S i HAVEN'T POSTED ANYTHING ABOUT THEM, AND NOW i'VE LOT TRACK OF THEM AND ALL i CAN SAY IS THAT i REMEMBER THAT THEY WERE GOOD AND LEAVE IT TO OTHERS TO TCHECK THEM OUT AT yOU TUBE OR AT HER WEBSITE oLIVE tREE vIEWS.COM    THE url ABOVE, HOWEVERR, GOES TO HER LATEST ONE FOR THIS WEEKENED AND IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW TRUMP IS AGAIN BEING THE BEST FRIEND OF iSRAEL AND WHAT HIS OFFER TO TAKE OVER Gaza MEANS.  

\

oNE THING THAT'S MENTIONED ON THIS EPISODE IS THAT tRUMP TENDS TO PUT HIS TRUST IN THE WRONG REPRESENTATIVES OF cHRISTIANITY.  tHE CHARISMATIC AND kINGDOM nOW GROUPS TEND TO ATHER ROUND HIM AND HE DOESN'[T HAVE THE DISCERNMENT TO TELL ONE GROUP FROM ALNOTHER SO HE NEEDS PRAYER TO BE LED BY THE RIGHT REPRESENTATIVES. INSTEAND.     \

hOWEVER, SOMEONE MENTIONED bILLY gRAHAM AS THAT RIGHT KIND OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THAT SET MY TEETH ON EDGE BECAUSE OF gRANHAMS'S APPEARANCE ON THE hOUR OF pOWER YEARS AGOVE, CAN'T REMEMBER THAT PASTOR'S NAME, DRAT, FAR WORSE THAN pAULA wHITE AND THE kINGDOM nOW PEOPLE, OR NEW aPOSTOLIC REFORMATION PEOPLE.  bUT gRAHAM ACTUALLY SAID THAT HE THINKS EVERYBODY WILL BE SAVED WHETHER THEY KNOW jESUS cHRISTA OR NOT.  bAD NEWS THERE.  i DON'T KNOW ABOUT fRANKLIN gRAHAM ON THAT ISSUE, JUST THAT HE'S GOOD ON A LOT OF THINGS JUST AS bILL gRAHAM WAS.   YOU CAN BE RIGHT ABOUT MOST THINGS AND WRONG ABOUT ONE LITTLE THING THAT'S REALLY A DOOZY OF A DENILAAL OF THOSH THE WHOLE RELIGION.

THEN i DO REMEMBER THAT A COUPLE OF EPISODES AGO

uH OH IT LOOKS LIKE i GOOGED SOMETHING UP.  wELL, i CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.   i'M TRING TO REMEMBER WHAT THIS OTHER SHOW WAS ABOUT, OR AT LAS TTHIS ONE THING THT WAS SAID THAT SEEMED TO ME TO BE SO IMPORTANT AND i WANTED TO MENTION IT HERE.  

The Left's Embarrassing Ignorance: Who Sits, Who Stands?

So the Left is pushing this insane idea that elon Musk is the real power in Washing ton and that Trump is subservient to him.  It's probably more a calculated provocation than ignorance but for some it is no doubt ignorance.  Vecause in the latest attempt to prove it their ignorance is so transcendaent it's embarrassing.

Supposedly a picture sows that Musk is standing while talking to trump who is sitting down and that is supposed to prove tht Musk has the dominant osition and that trum p is subservient to him.

I kept waiting for someone to point out the obvious.  We aren't a monarchy so mayb we are less sensitive to this than a monarchy's citizens ould  be, but no, actually it applies here too, even in this classeless society.

That is, that it is the subservient one who stands in the p;resence of the monarch.  It is a breach of rank to sit in the prsence of a king or queen.  Some servancts must always remain standing in their presence.  that's what waiting on them means.   Others may sit when the monarch sits.

In America we stand when the judge enters the courtroom and sit when the judge tells us we may.  It is the same in other venuies when peopel of rank ener a room.  the others stand for their entry and do not sit until they sit.  

this should be so well knownn that these crazy ideas couldn't have survived half a minute, but crazy ideas hav an unfortunate shelf life these days.

h I just thought of another example..   In the series Downston Abbey, which was pretty popular here in America, thereere is a scneein which the cook has to come upstairs to speak to the earl for whom she works.  He gives her some information which makes her nearly faint and she suddenly apologiz3es to him for having to sit down or shell'll fall.  Not normally allowed to sit in his presence.  See?

Of course this has nothing at all to do with Trump and Musk because we are a classless society and the scene in question is not a cereminial situation in which rank might matter, although even oin tht case I don't think it applies.   Anyway in the scene in the picture it absolutely does not apply.  We sit when we need to a dn stand when it's appropriate for other reasons than rank.

Actually I suspect that in England's clas society the cook would most likely simply faint dead away and wouldn't even try to sit down.   Or if it was permissible in the time covered by Downston Abbey maybe things were just liberalized enough, on the brink of the breakup of the aristocracy, that at least she could apologize and grab for a chair and kjnow the earl woudl forgive her.

More on HCR

 Oh goo grief, I just can't stand what this woman is saying.  I'ts hard to stop listening to her because she is so maddening and she obviously has some influence if what some of her interviewers have said is true, that she has two million followers.  I suppose she isn't the only purvery or of these things of course, there must be lots of sources for those crazy people out in the streets yelling against perfectly legtiimate actions by the Trump administration.  What's scary of course is that this sheer evil could win in the end bujut because of the aggressive volume of their voices.  It doesn'[t take many sometimes, just noicse and idsruption.  

Anyway, following on from my comments in the previous post I find her saying thta the government is a part of our gross national product.  What?  What on earth is she talking about?  the governmetn?  this is so bizarre I don't know what to say, it's just craziness.     Then she goes on to say that the tazx cuts by Reagan, and rgulation cuts, that supposedly built up the economy of the country, and yes they dcertainly did as I've said before, doublint ghte tax revenue for starters, but she says that between regan and Biden what "really" happened was that fifty trillion, yes I' msure she said trillion but it's so absurd I'm going to have to check again, any wy  anyway, fifty trillion tdolloars supposedly went from the bottom ninety percent of American cictizens to the top ten perscent or something like that.  How this happened of course she doesn'[t bother to try to explain such just asserts it althoyughjt it's got to be just about the most crazy thing she's said so far.  

Cheked again.  Yes she said fifty trillion.  Yikes.  And says that supposedly all those tax cuts and regulation cuts were supposed to redistribute welath downward but instead reidistributed it upward, and she said to the ONE percent, not to tht ten percent as I had it abov3e.  Well, the funny thing is that there is actual IRS information available that saiys clearly that Regan's tax and regulation cuts grew the economy to the extent that the tax revenue doubled in his term in office.   that means that more people were working, wages were higher, mjore buinesses were created and all that.  That's not exactly "recddicstribution downward" but the right doesn't talk that way, it's growing the general wealth of the whole American economy from which all benefit.   No, nothing went from the lwer income brackets to the upper income brackets.  And of course she doesn't bother to tggive any evidence anyway, because of course there isn't any.   Lefties always think it's enough just to announce something to make it true, and if it seems to their challenged logical ability that if you cut taxes on the rigch it is the rich who will benefit facts don't matter anywayk, , itjust means that therefore the rich benefited.    I'll say it again, the evidence is that the whole national economy ebenefited and that means for everybody.

I can hardly believe what she saysx next.   She mentions that the different Protestant sects that underlay each of the original thirteen colonies wer  often at odds in such as way that Madison in particular wanted to be sure that "mjorality" didn't dictate things in the new federal ctgovernment.  I'm always rolling my eyes at what she says and this one is a real eye roller.  No, it was specifically the theology of the Protestant sects tht wasn't to dominate the federal goverfnmetn, meaning you couldn't choose one ovder the others.  Morality and theology are not the same thing, and in fact we know tht morality exists without religion at all, although of course it can be argued, as george Washing ton did in his final address to the natuion, that morality shold not be separated from religion.  Christianityh is founded on a set of morals that he and the other founders regarded as superior and very definitely wanted to see motivating the citizens, and of course the representatives in government as well.  QhaR AN ABSOURE DIEA THAT MORALITY WASN'T TO HAVE SUCH A ROLE IN THE GOVERFNMENT.  tHERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH hcr'S THINKING.    rELGIOUS SECT AS ESTABLSIHED CHURCH OF THE REALM, NO, BUT MORALITY AIS SOMETHING ELSE AND IT DOES not DIFFER FROM SECT TO SECT.  tHEOLOTYGY DIFFERERS, BUT NOT MORALITY.

wHEN SHE MAKES SUCH ERRORS AS THESE SHE SHOWS THAT SHE REALLY SHOULDH'T BE IN A POSITION TO GIVE ADVICE TO ANYONE, BUT THE AD THING IS THAT APPARENTLY SHE HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO TAKE ER SERIOUSLYH.  vERY SAD.

fORGOT THE POINT i USUALLY LIKE TO MAKE ABOUT THIS, THAT jOHN aDAMS IS FAMOUS FOR SAYING THAT OUR FORM OF CONSTITTUIONAL CGOVERNMENT IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF ANY OTHER THAN A MORAL AND RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.  bOTH MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.  aND HE MEANT cHRISTIAN.  aLTHOUGH OTHER RELIGIOUNS ARE NOW INCLUDED IN THE FEREEDOM OF RELIGION AND THERE WAS EVEN SOME CONFUSION ABOUT THTA IN THE DAY OF THE FRAMERS,  THE ORIGINAL COLONIES WERE ALL cHRISTIAN, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WERE SERIOUS cHRISTIANS, AS TOQUEVILLE NOTED A CENTURY LATER, AND WE SHOULD THINK OF OURSELVES AS A cHRISTIAN NATION.  iT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE VERGFGE OF ISASTER i AM SURE, THT WE DON'T HOLD TO THAT BASIC PRINCIPLE.

nOT JUST GENERIC BIBLICAL RELIGION BUT cHRISTIANITYH ITSELF WSAS TO BE THE GUIDING PHILOSOPHICAL FRAMEWORK OF THIS NATION.  aCCORDING TO cHRLIE kIRK AS i UNDERSTAND IT, EVERY CONSISUTION OF EARVERY ONE OF THE COLONIES REFERRED TO jESUS cHRIST.  tO FORM A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITHOUT THAT BASIC FOUNDING MENTIALITY IS SOME KIND OF CRIME, A BETRAYAL.  tHERE ARE ENOUGH REFERENCES IN THE DECLARATION OF iNDEPENDNENCE TO HOLD ONTO TO MAKE THAT CASE, BUT THE FRAMERS THEMSELVES DIDN'T HOLD ONTO IT AS THEY SHOULD HAVE AND OF COURSE TSINCE THEN ANTIChciriSTIAN THINKING HAS TAKEN HOLD.   wELL, THIS IS A FALLEN WORLD AND IT ISN'T GOING TO LAST FOREVER.  i SUPPOSE WE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET BACK OUR ORIGINAL FOUNDING  PHILOSOHY.  i JUST HOPE WE DON'T FAIL TO KEEP UP THIS PRESENT RETURN TO BASIC RIGHTEOUSNESS, BECAUSE THE FALL WE WERE HEADED FOR BEFORE TRUMP WON THIS ELECTION WAS PRETTY TERRIFYINGLY TOTALITARIAN UGLY.

fRIA fEBRUARY 14  hAPPY vALENTINE'S DAY AND ALL THAT.

lISTENING ON FROM THE ABOVE.  wANT TO TRY TO BE VERY BREIEF ABOUT IT THOUGH.  nEEED TO SAY ABOVE THAT mADISON'S OBJECTION TO AN ESTABLISHED RELIGION IN THE GOVERNMENT WAS REALLY A CONCERN TO PROTECT THE cHURCH AND NOT THE GOVERNMENT.  wE'VE GOR IT ALL TURNED AROUND NOW, ALONG WITH THE GENERAL MISUNDERSTANDING THAT WE'RE NOT TO HAVE ANY cHRISTIAN REXPRESSIONS WHATEVER IN THE SOECIETY, ESPECIALLY IN CONNNECTION WITH INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.  tHIS IS not WHAT THE FRAMERS HAD IN MIND.  THE INAUGURATED THE PRACTICE OF OPENING cONGRESS WITH PRAYER AFTER ALL.    uNFORTUNATELY NOW THEY OPEN cONTGRESS WITH ALL SORTS OF PRAYERS FROM ALL SORTS OF RELIGIONS THAT GOD CONCDEMENDS.  THAT CERTAINLY CAN'T DO THE NATION ANY GOOD.  sAME AS HAVING A nATIONAL cATHEDRAL WHERE ANYTHING BUT TRUE cHRISTIAN DOCTRINE IN S PREACHESD.    

aNYWAY, hETHER cOX rICHARDSON HAS GONE ON TO TALK ABOUT usaid, THE AGENCY OR ORGANIZATION OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT eLONE mUSK AND HIS TEAM HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPOSING AS JAM PACKED WITH FRAUD, WASTE AND CORRUPTION.  hcr IS GIVING A VERY SWEET SORT OF PICTURE OF THE AGENCY AS A PURVERYOR OF AID TO FOREIGN NATIONS THAT IS GOOD FOR   THAT IS GOOD FOR US AS WELL AS FOR THEM, SUCH AS FOOD FOR HUNGRY CHILDREN AND WATER AND OTHER NECESSITIES WHERE THEY ARE LACKING.    nO MENTION WHATEVER OF ALL THE FRAUD THE mUSK TEAM HAS UNCOVERED, TONS OF IT, AND APPARENTLY A LOT MORE TO COME.  wHICH DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE AREN'T SOME GOOD THINGS THE ORGANIZATION DOES, AS THE doge TEAM ITSELF KEEPS POINTING OUT, OR tRUMP DOES ANYWAY.  THERE IS NO ACTION TO GET RIDE OF THE GOOD ONES AT ALL.   aLL THAT IS SAID IS THAT SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY MORE CORRUPT ONES THAN GOOD ONES THE GOOD ONES WILL PROBABLY BE MOVED TO THE sTATE dEBPARTMENT EVENTUALLY WHERE THEY CAN DCONTINUE TO DO WHATEVER THEY NOW DO.    THE doge TEAM WANTS ONLY TO DEAL WITH THE ABUSEE OF TAXPAYER MONEY AND DO AWAY WITH THE PROGRAMS THAT FUNCTION ONLY FOR THAT PURPOSE.  

yOU'D THINK THE dEMOCRATS WOULD BE JUST AS PHAPPY AS THE rEPUBLICANS TO ELIMINATE FRAUSD, WASTE AND ABUSE OF TAXPAYER MONEY, SO THEIR OUTRAGE IS HARD TO EXPLAIN AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN BENEFITTING FROM THE FRAUD, WSTE AND CORRUPTION.   iF NOT, WHAT IS IT?   

sHE ALSO KEEPS TALKING ABOUT eISENHOWER IN RELTAION TO usaid, BUT HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.  iT WAS jOYHN f. kENNEDY THAT ESTABLISHJED IT BY AN EXECUTIVE ORDER AS i'VE HEARD FROM MORE THAN ONE SOURCE.   iT'S PART OF THE eXECIUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT BY THE WAY, WHICH DOEN'ST GET INTO THIS CONVERSTAION MUCH, BUT THAT GIVENES IT , OR THAT MAKES IT A LEGITIMATE TARGET FOR tRUMP AS TODAY'S eXECUTIVE bRANCH.  iT DOESN'[T HAVE TO GO THROUGH cONGRESS TO BE MADE A LEGITIMATE TARGET OF SUCH AN INVETIGATION AS SOME KEEP SAYING BECAUSE IT WASN'T CREATED BY cONGRESS.tHE EXECUTIVE GRANCH IS WELL WITHIN ITS RIGHTS TO CLEAN UP ITS OWN ACT IN OTHER WORDS WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM THE OTHER BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.

hcr'S THINKING IS SO WEIRDLY WRONG i KEEP NOT WANTING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT AT ALL, BUT THEN i GET ANGRY ABOUT HER HAVING SO MUCH INFLUENCE WITH SO MUCH WEIRDLY FALSE INFORMATION.     sHE SAYS THT WHAT doge IS DOING IS JUST .   WELL SHE IMPLIES THEY HAVE NO GROUNDS FOR SAYING , HOW DOES SHE PUT IT, THAT usaid IS JUST FOR PEOPLE ON THE TAKE OR WHATEVER.  oN THE TAKE.  iS THAT HOW SHE PUT IT.  wELL i'LL CORRECT IT IF i FIND OUT i'M WRONG BUT i THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.  iT SEEMS TO BE HER WAY OF REDUING THE DISCOVERY OF ENORMOUS DEPTHS OF WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO A CATCHPHRASE OF HER OEWN FOR OSME REASON THAT DOESN'T EXPRESS WHAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY BEEN SAYING.  THEY'VE ACTUALLY found THIS FRAUD, THEY HAVE ACTUAL EVIDENCE OF THIS FRAUD, THEY ARE DOCUMENTING IT, THEY CAN TRACK IT.  tHIS TEAM IS GOOD AT WHAT THEY ARE DOING.  THIS IS NOT SOME MADE UP WILD ACCUSATION AS SHE KPEEPS IMPLYING, THIS IS REAL CORRUPTION THEY ARE FINDING.   bUT SHE SAYS IT'[S ALL JUST AN EXPRESSION OF THIS STORY SHE SAYS IS HELD BY SOME THAT TH GOVERNMENT IS BAD.  hOW'S THAT FOR A NICE LITTLE PIECE OF TRIVILIAZLIZATION.  THE GOVERNME,TN IS BAD.    jUST A STORY THAT REALLY MEANS NOTHING ACCORDING TO HER.  GOLLY GOSH.    tHE WHOLE CONSERVATIVE FOCUS ON THE DANGERS OF bbIG gOVERNMENT WHICH IS A PRINCIPLE TRACEABLE TO THE cONSSITUTION  IS REDUCED BY HER TO THIS ODD LITTLE PHRASE tHE GOVERNMENT IS BAD.    nOT EVEN gOVERNMENT ITSELF IS BAD, JUST THAT THIS GOVERNMENT IS BAD IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.  THERE'S SOMETHING SO WACKO ABOUT WHAT ISHE IS SAYING IT'S HARD TO FOLOWOW.    i WISH MY TYPING WEREN'T SO BAD.  

i'VE ALREAYDCOMENTED ON SOME OF THE THINGS SHE SAYS NEXT AND THIS POST IS GETTING AWFULLY LONG SO i'LL STO P FOR NOW, BUT ALTHOUGH SHE SEEMS TO BE SAYING SOME REAOSNABLE THINGS ABOUT THE cONSTITUTION IN WHAT FOLOWS SHE ALWAYS SAYS ENOUGH WACKO STUFF TO MAKE ME WANT TO SAY MORE EVENTUALLY.  i DON'T KNOW BUT i'M GOING TO STOP HERE FOR NOW.
