Heather Cox richardson Again

 N

Late Monday night addition:  I just have to add this, a sentence from a brief ad I just saw on You Tube that interrupted a program i was watching.  It's the same kind of message HCR gives so I'm putting it here:  "Trump is destroying our democracy so thta he can allow his billionaire friends steal from us."    I put it in quotes but it's prpobably not his exat words, and I don't know who the guy is.   How on earth can any sane person think such a thing?  This is the bdiabolical evil I keep finding in HCR.  It's beyond insane and it's dangerous.  

* * * * * 

ow I want to make an effort to respond to Heather Cox richardson again, to her coments on the ideo I linked in the post below, about four posts down I 6think.  I just listened again to the first part of it and I'll start with some quick broad comments:

She says among the rights our founding documents guarantee to us is "equal access to resources>'"  that struck me as wrong right off the bat but I wasn't sure  what she meant by it.  then she is soon saying that vry rich men like dale Carnegie came along and more or less took that right away from us by obviously having more access than anyone else to the resources that made him rich.  So I figure she's talking about sources of wswealth such as oil deposits or mineral deposits or any other natural resources tht can be the source of gret wealth for the nation.     

I say wealth for the nation because thats how I thik of it.  She seems to think it's only welath for those who have the means to gain acess directly to those resources.  The Carnegies and rockefellers and so on.  She thinks the rise of those very wealthy men threw a wrench into our doctrine of equal rights to all.  \\ 

Again this just hits me as so wrong it's hard to know where to begin to unravel it.   But then later in the talk she says she doesn't mean by equal access to resources only to jobsw and that sort of thing, which is already idifferent from what she's said about the rich having more acessess than the rest of us, but goes on to say that she means also access to aeducation and health care and all that.   

So heare she's done a job of mind rape on us.  Switching her definitions, changing th etopic without warning.  Does she mean the rise of the mega welathy is the cause of depriving us of our rights or what?  Who knows?  Sometimes I don't think she's interested in communicating at all but in hypnotizing us into passivility or osmethihng like that.

then she says that starting in the fifties we got this idea meaning some people got it tht they, white men in particular it seems, that they were being deprived of their rights by blacks and other minorities.  I think I got that right.  I'll have to go back and listen to it again.  In oanother video she already pretty much called us al racists who are not livberals so it would fit with that.     Fifties?  I'll have to come bacck to this.

then she says that although DOGE is supposedly intended to root waste out of govetfnment this is in fact a lie.  She says they claim that some money was going to go to a drag performance of some sort in some country or other, which is one of the thihngs I've also been hearing, but that this is a lie.  

No, it's not a lie, the money was clearly adressed to that purpose, there is no doubt, that's why Musk and his team earmarked it for elimination.  She's said that he's just getting ricdd of thinkgs he doesn't like but  that others like.  Do others like this kind of expense to come out of our taxpayer money?  Well, turns out no, that wehn it's deribed she says it isn'[t reallyh where the money was going, that's a lie.   Sigh.  No, that's where it was going and that's why they pulled it.  If you want to argue that you think that's a legitimate expense then argue that, don't argue that it's a lie because it's not a lie.

then she says Musk is just tring to get his hanadns on oall ourmoney ecaus ehe considers himself to be part of a special class of people and doesn't care about all the rest of the citizens of the country.  He's doing his program to gt a colony established on Mars for instance jut to benefit this little class of people at the expense of everybody else, and doesn't care a bit about the rest of us.  Now THAT is the lie.   I think this Mars project is nuts because I'm a Christain who believes Jesus is coming back pretty soon and we're never going to need to move to anyother planet, even though kjoowing Musks's special intelligence it could very well be possible.  But I think his heart is in the right plsae and he does what he does because he wants to promote the general welfare of humanity however he thi nks he is able to bring it about.   He supplied thousands of his starlink gizmos to the people of NWest North Caronlina wsho couldn'[t use their phones after Hurrican Helene, brought them in on a moment's notice to help them out and probably samved manyh many lives.    from everything I've heard him say on manyh interviews he is reallyh genuinely concerned to be of help to humanity and to America, and I am appalled at this attack on him as if he's acting from selfish interets.  As if he needs our taxpayer money when he's already the richest man in the world.  what on earth are these peopel thinking?    they are looking for waste, fraud and corruption in our various departments of government and trying to do away with it.   That's all.  they are finding quite a bitg, but I guess with people like richarcdson telling lies about it people are getting all enraged as if he's ut  hurting things rather than helping.    She is the liar, they are the liars, and it's too bad that their lies are going to affet these honest attempts to improve America.

then the lie about how they want to do away with Mdicaid and Medicare and So cial Security.  never ever ever ahas that wbeen said, but of  courfse it deoesn't matter what anyone says, they are going to make it mean that anyway.   They say they want to do away with great waste, fraud and corruptinon within these programs, NOT THE PROGRAMS THEMSLEVES.    zGood Grief.  Now is thshe liying about thisa?  Is she the progpagandist while she accuses her opponents of oing that?  I rather think so.

And the department of education is to be done away with according to her because they want to destroy the country.  No, dear, the Department of education has been destroying ducation ever since it was formed in nineteen eighty one.  that's why they want to get rid of it.  Our ranking in the world on education was very high becfore that edepartment was formed and it's gbeen going down ever since.   It's become just a tool of the so called Progressives to indoctrinate an propagandize, and they are the ones destroying education and destroying the country, not us MAGA people.  We are the ones who want to restore true education so that we can have a well informed citizenry instea dof a bunch of indotrinated leftist zombies.

She is calling Elon Musk "that death panel" that the right hung on obamacare.  But as with everything else that's true of the Left it always gets blamed on the Right because that is their main strategy to undermine us.  Whatever is true of them is denied but laid on us instead.  diabolical.   S Richardson is telling her listeners ot to believe what we are saying about how it is really wsaste and fraud that Musk and DOGE are trying to cut out of goverment at all, but things that really keep the government of the US and its people alive and functioning.  this is a diabolical accusation and dangerous if believed, which of course is the case since liberals usually follow their own spokespeaple and never bother to check anything against the other side's facts.  

According to HCR Musk is ""liberally defunding cancer esearch."  She wants to be shown the waste which she sayhs isn't really there at al andnot what he is going after.  I don't know what waste he has found in NIH, Ihaven't heard about that one, ut it is she who should be giving the evidence of her malicious accusations that instead she just asserts the way lbefitists always do.  never evidence, never a fact to be seen, just assertions.  We're liying they are right.  Musk has identified where the money is going according to where it is marked to go, he has that evidence, he knows it is actually going there and he has judged it waste if it is going to something like a drag propaganda film in outer mongolia.   She's welcome to diagree that that is waste, but she has offered nothing to prove that it is not going where he says it is going.  And she is now claiming that he wants to cut out legitimate research by NIH.  hHe does not and that is a diabolical lie.  If he's found watsere there then it is waste becaus that is what he is looking for.  He is not at all intereted, meaning that trump is n't because Musk is working for Trump, not interested at all in harming any legitimate work the moneyh is being used for.  and again she has proved none of her wild nasty assertions.

then she goes on to talk about the Constitutional frameword for how maw making is to be done and as usual gives the Executive branch just about no power at all, which is what the liberals always do.  Biden of course whroe hundreds of executive orders that none on her side objected to although they were in fact the true destrucive power we are dealing with now, wnot what trummp is doing which is an attempt to recover the nation from that destruction.  biden can write Executive orders all he wants but according to this leftist mentality trump can't.  All partisan politics with these people.    

then she makes that ridiculous remakr the Ledft has been screaming for days, weeks now, Musk was not elected.  No he was not elected, he was appointed, or employed, by trump, and that is what is supposed to ha-ppen.  He is a delegate to do the work he is assigned by trump.   Nojne of the Cabinet appointees are elected either.  they are all appointees, all chosen by the Presicxdent.  That is the way the Exuecutive branch is uspposed to operate.  the President cfhoses people who will carry out his campaign promises , that'[s how they get done.   He wants people who understand his goals and are committed to carrying them out and this time around he seems to have chosen a good bunch of people to do just that.  And elon Musk is one of his choices to carrying out a task he wants to see done, the identification and elimination of waste, fraud and corruption in the government.  

And since richardson thinks that is not what is happening it is her respohnsbility to prove ti instead of just slinging dangerous accusations as she is doing.

Galloping on hrough this madness and skipping a lot of stuff for the moment I just awant to comment on her saying thta they want to go back to the time vbefore MAGA acording to her when you couldn't discriminate against anyone in hiring and education and so on.  i forget all ther words but thta's the gist.  Which has me picking my jaw up off the floor and trying to find my eyebolls that rolled so hard they rolled under the furniture yeah yeah yeah.  Anyway.  THEY were doing a lot of discriminationg before MAGA came along with the intent to get ride of it.  Good grief these lefties are diabolical, just turn everything on its head.  THEY put affirmiative action into place which discriminated in favor of blacks.  That's discrimination.  THEY support discrimination against the best qualified applicatnts to universities if they are white or Asian.  THEY are doing that discrimination.  This is discrimination that needs to end and with MAGA should end.   God grief .   And as I said I've skipped over a lot of enormities to arrive at this one, but I'm going to try to et ack through this evil sludge ventually.

Again skipping ove many other enormities in her commentary I have to mention what she said about Trump's deals with Mexico and canada with the tarifs that were put on hold when each country offered troops to guard our mutual borders with them.  Trump thinks of himself as a deal maker, that's his business way of thinking that he usues to good effect in politics it seems to me.   I don't have a clear idea what the tarifs were supposed to acomplish except that apparently both Mexico and canada were taking advantage of us in some way or other with our trade agreements.  but it's also possible that what Trump really wantsed was their commitments to help protect the borders which is one his biggest campaign promises and high on his list to get accompolished as soon as possible.  With ten thousand troops coming from Maxico to help on the southern border, and ten thousand from Canada to help on the honorthern border he's making a lot of headway on the problem of illegal immigration and getting our neighbors infolved di is a big plus is seems to me.  But Richardson doesn't even mention the agreement to give their trroops to the border problem.  She just seems to enjoy making it sound like Trump has wrecked our relations with Maexico and canada.  Not so sure about that.  Bother off them moved very rapidly to offer troops when he slammed down on the tarifs.  SLooks to me like we're getting a better relatioship with each of them than we had.  

Back to the beginning for a vey brief comment I hope.  She's talking about how we supposedly don'[t have the voter fraud voter ID is intended to fix.  Well from what I've heard we have a lot of it, lots of illegal aliens being given voter registration.  Lots.  She says flatly not true.  Well, I say flatly sorry your're wrong.    She says that there is election fraud however, such as laws that make fraud easier and voter suppression and all that.  Here again what we have is a case of what the leftg has been doing imputed to the right by a leftist, standard tactic.   Laws were changed very rapidly to favor the left in a number of astates right before the election that Trump supposedly lost to Biden.   That subject is way too much for this little post but  let's just say there a ton of evidence of all kinds of fraud against Trump that isn't all that hard to track down.

So she's describing this voter ID bill and mentions that passports are one of the ways identifcation can be verified for the purpose.  And goes on about how hard it is to get a passport as if a passport were required which of course it is not.  All they say is that it can be used oif you happen to have one but like a good leftie she has to confuse things and imply something false as long as it will make the right look bad.  Then she says there is a big prolem for women whose names were changed upon marriage because you can't use a birth certificate which has our birth name and not your married name.  Well then add yoru marriage certificate.  But actually if your first name and middle name are the same and it's on your other forms of ID such as your driver's license that you are the age and have the birth date on the certificate, I doubt there is much of a problem but of course she'd like to come up with a problem if she can.  Well, if there is a problem I'm sure because I know Trump and Musk and all his team to be honest people who only want to do what's betst for the country, that they would be very happy to make whatever accommocatesion s can be made to make it all easier.    I think she just loves to make up problems though.  It's fun for lefties to make things up and truth is just not fun for them.

Again at the part of her talk where she is saying tht democracy is built onh equal access to resources, and this is jyust plain wrong.  I can see how you might be able to use the idea to merge into a communist mentality at some point, but for now she's making it a pillar of democracy for some reason and that it most ertainly is not.  What does it even mean.  her first example are about people monopolizing resources, having more access to resources than others do which she says threatens democracy.  No, there is nothing in our founding documents that even hints at such a thing as equal access to resources.  It's simply impossible.  there are many ways that some people will always rise above others in any form of government due to circumstances or different abilities.  You simply cannot form a govfverment on the idea of equality in those areaas because it is impossible.  People are different.  Those with a talent to earn great ewealth by kowing how to find and produce some resources are naturally going to have greater access that others don't have and it's ridiculous to think tht the Constitution or anyh law in the land could forbid such a thinkg.  Yes retstraints and regulation are are needsed to contain monopolies that put others at a disadvantage, that's always going to be the case in a fallen world, but that isn't going to change the basic differences between opportunities and abilities that is just polain natural to humanity.  You can't make a [laying field even on this particular ground.  Justice for sure ,, equal justice for all,  equal opportities for educatiohn and jobs and all that but it still is a matter of having to compete for some positioins.  Education should be available to all, sure, but not jobs.  Jobs are defined by parituclar skills and some people have them and others don't.    You simply cannot talk the way Richardson talks about these things.  She's wrong wrong awrong and she just goes on blitheley asserting it without any discussion of its realities, just assertion as usual.  Utter nonsense.  Pernicious nonsense.

We are promised a right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and several enumerated freedoms, or speech, assembly, nd so on, we are not promised any sort of equality that depends on qualities that are different in each person.If you are talking about things like water, food , fuel and so on  the government is definitely supposed to provide for such needs, provide for the beneral welfare, make such things accessible in some general sort of way, but they can't promkise you steak if all you can afford is hamburger.  

I may have to take some of that back I realize.   Government can't promise us access to food, that's something the people themselves have to do.  I'm falling for some kind of big government idea here I think.  Oh well.  The govefnment is there to keep the paths open to what we need, maybe that's the way to say it.   

Then she goes on to claim that people on the Right are propagandists and bringing down the country as a result.  This is another case of imputing to the Right what is true of the Left.  They are the propagandists and she's certainly one of them.   Mostly badmouthing the Right as usual too, that's the biggest propaganda the Left does.  

That's certainly the case with the big fat false accusation of racism.  it's the Left, the Democrats, who have always been the racists, and the Right has been on the other side.  It was the Democrats who started the Civil war and defendied slavery.  it was the democrats who established the Jim Crow laws.  It was the Democrats who fought efforts at breaking up segregation and extending civil rights to blacks.  It was Republicans who put forward the civil rights law, not Democrats who in fact fought it, and were those who interfered with chidlren in the South being allowed to integrate in the schools.   republicnas have lsways held to Licoln's antislavery and anti racist policies.  

Early Monday morning:  Just a last note;  one of the things that she says that is most reprehensible is her aping of  remarks that were made about Biden when his mind was so clearly in decline during the campaign period.  She says Trump's mind is just not there, that he's not in charge because he isn't mentally competent and taht someone else has to be running things for that reason. l this is such a hideous lie I don't know how the woman can live with herself.  trump is very sharp and nobody is in charge but himself and we are all impressed with just HOW in charge he is and how swiftly he is acting to carry out his campaign poromises.     the Left is just plain diswgusing the things they are willing to say just to smer Trump and MAGA people.

She's using exactlyu the same words that wree used to describe Biden as he was clearly deteriorating, although there isn't  ashred of ahint of anything like that going one with Trump at all.   Evil stuff for sure.

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.

gLENN lOURY AND jOHN mCWHORTER tRY TO uNDERSTAND wHAT wOILD HELP THE pOVERTY STRICKEN PARTS OF aMERICA

 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.
