Community

 

Hatred thrives in on-line solitude.

Human beings need community. Civilization developed to nurture that personal connection. Prolonged solitude turns the soul inward, toward selfishness. Without discussion and debate, we villainize those with values different than our own. Our faith is what drives our very being. Our God created us with an emptiness that can only be filled with an intimate relationship with Him. Corporate worship and Bible study offers us the opportunity to grow together in the Spirit. “Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.  For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matthew 18:19-20

The lack of face-to-face interactions, instead relying upon the anonymity of device-to-device communication, has afforded users to avoid social interaction. Hiding behind a screen allows one to denounce and attack opposing viewpoints, without actual consequence, and enables animosity to fester. News feeds, X posts, and other social media are tailored by algorithms to each user’s preferences, presenting information that supports the user’s opinions, further isolating them from differing opinions. It has become effortless to foster hate by hiding facts that prevent one from learning both sides of issues. In fact, by filtering out competing news, the full truth is silenced while one side of the argument is amplified.

Incessant rhetoric from the left has increasingly raised the temperature in our political discourse. Democrat party leaders pour gasoline on the fire of division with comments likening their political rivals to Hitler, tyrants, and accuse them of opposition to any other “oppressed” class. Political leaders that stoke division and promote hate must be rejected at the ballot box if they fail to return to God. The constant drumbeat that villainizes those with Christian and conservative values has created tribal warfare as an acceptable response to settle disagreements. There are those who have become so radicalized by hateful leftist ideology that contemplating and/or committing violence has become a viable option.

Charlie Kirk literally accepted Jesus’ call to the Great Commission, to make disciples of the world. He engaged in debate with those who hated him because of his faith and political opinion. Through his platform, Turning Point USA, he literally entered the lion’s den of leftism to respectfully preach the Gospel and truly listen to those who disagreed, while doing his best to reach out with a sincere love of his neighbor.  Charlie was able to plant seeds of faith throughout the universities in which he preached. As democrat leaders mischaracterized, no, willfully lied about Charlie and his views and speech, people believed those lies. And those lies inspired a weak-minded individual to end Charlie’s debate forever with a bullet. We cannot let an assassin’s bullet silence and end the work that Charlie engaged in as he obediently preached the Gospel with the love of Jesus in his heart.

If we fail to engage those who have been unduly influenced by the evil advocated by leftist ideology, they will be lost forever. As Christians it is our duty spread the love of Jesus by preaching the Gospel, unashamedly. “And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.  He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.  Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26.

We have God’s handbook to assist us in performing His will. The Bible contains all the ammunition necessary to speak His Truth. Read it daily. Learn it. Pray on it. Study it with other believers. We can no longer be meek and quiet. We can no longer stand by and let evil overtake our brothers and sisters. No matter how lost our brothers and sisters may become, God loves them unconditionally, just as he loves each of us. There is nothing we can do to make God love us any more. There is nothing that we can do to make God love us any less. We have a duty to proclaim God’s love to the world so that none are lost to the evil one. Plant the seeds that just may encourage them to return to community of faith. Be bold and courageous, armed with the Holy Spirit that dwells within all of us.

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.” Ephesians 6:11-12, 18

Funding Evil

 

Your tax dollars at work.

While serving as a police officer in a Milwaukee suburb for almost 30 years, one truth was self-evident; for criminals, it is all about the money. When conducting investigations, following the money most often led right to the criminal(s) that committed the crime. When noted Chicago crime boss Al Capone was finally brought to justice, the most important witness against him was his accountant. Unlawful activities always leave a money trail, no matter how hard the criminals try to obfuscate their culpability. The tangled web that the democrat party has woven is finally unraveling as they fall from power. As their partisan co-conspirators in the deep state are weeded out, the democrat machine is powerless to continue to hide their criminal conspiracies.

As Non-Governmental Agencies (NGOs) and numerous non-profits are audited by DOGE, the money trail that leads to the democrat party and their allies on the left becomes apparent. The malfeasance of the now defunct USAID has been exposed, and numerous grants have been shut down, causing the democrat party to lose a significant portion of their revenue. Your tax dollars are funneled into various “grants” to numerous agencies, who in turn, funnel some of that money into other “affiliated” organizations to complete their purposes. Once “granted” there is little to no oversight or accounting of how or even where that money is spent. In the 1980’s the Defense Department purchased thousands of $5,000.00 hammers, then diverted the “overcharge” to fund covert operations, the $Millions granted to promote child transgenderism and LGTBQ+ programs in Mozambique never were intended to serve that purpose.

USAID was simply a clearinghouse, or more accurately, a deep state money laundering scheme meant to enrich the democrat party. When people reject the policies advocated by the left, the people will no longer support and donate their hard-earned money to them. It then becomes necessary to find alternate ways to bilk the people and how simple it is to reroute funding, that has no oversight, right back into their pockets. Why else would the democrat party fight tooth and nail to maintain USAID and all its funding of such “Important” programs. Desperate times call for desperate measures and the democrat party has never been more desperate. Without access to taxpayer money never intended for them, democrats will lack the funds for their paid protesters, paid ballot harvesters, ActBlue, and all their other paid operatives.

Taxpayer funds are also rerouted to organizations that seek to disrupt and dissolve our Constitutional Republic in order to create a socialist state. Some examples: George Soros’ Open Society uses taxpayer funds funneled to it to elect “progressive” soft on crime District Attorneys that refuse to enforce the law, creating chaos and lawlessness. Additionally, Open Society has given terrorist related groups over $80Million since 2016. Yes, United States taxes have indirectly funded terrorists that seek to destroy us. Planned Parenthood received government funding and donated over $5Million to the Democrat National Committee and $40Million to democrat candidates that support abortion rights in 2024. These are but a few of the stratagems employed by the democrat party to enrich themselves financially, undermine our nation, create turmoil, and foster disunity.

Investigative reporter Ryan Mauro of the Capital Research Center has the receipts in the following articles;  Top Financiers of Intifada   Soros

The left is operating against this nation under the cover of our laws and freedoms. They are using false flag operations to launder US tax dollars to undermine our Republic. Democrats are embracing leftist ideology, aiding and abetting the very forces resolved to destroy us. Accusing the democrat party of treason is a charge that does not encompass the utter depravity of their designs. If democrats ever again seize power, they will drive this nation to ruin. We have a chance to prevent that from happening. A single bullet has birthed a revival. We must stand up for our faith. We must no longer be silent. We must turn out in overwhelming numbers to defeat leftism and turn away the democrat party. Our time has come to take back our nation and turn it back to God. If we fall back into our live and let live torpor, the left will metastasize like the cancer that it is. Will you wake up, serve the Lord, and fulfill your civic duty?

Bad Influence

 

The left’s rhetoric will evoke even more violence.

Democrats are consistent in one part of their messaging, the call to stop President Trump and his supporters by any means necessary. They have gone far beyond simply being obstructionists, they have succeeded in demonizing and dehumanizing their political opponents. Amplified by mainstream media and propagandized through academia, the left’s vile and hateful rhetoric will continue to inspire weak-minded individuals to act out in violence. Even before Charlie Kirk is laid to rest, democrats are doubling down. Social media is ablaze with young aspiring leftists that are celebrating the assassination of a man whose only sin was engaging in respectful dialogue with all sides of the political spectrum.

But democrats were afraid of someone on the right that could convince some of their minions that there were alternatives to their hateful message. Democrats need to silence their critics lest people’s eyes be opened. So, a man who spread the love of Jesus, respected and loved his neighbor, and loved this nation, had to be proclaimed public enemy #1, along with anyone that supports President Trump. Democrats placed a bullseye on Charlie Kirk, whether they will admit it or not. If democrats truly believe that this is a winning strategy, they are truly mistaken. Chuck Schumer, you have indeed released the whirlwind, and you won’t know what hit you after democrat after democrat loses election after election, as you fall further into the minority.

The democrat party has aligned itself with those who despise our nation and the values instilled in it.

“Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them.” Isaiah 1:23

The democrat party protects criminals and creates unsafe communities.

“So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14

The democrat party has decided to disregard the will of the electorate and promotes issues that the public rejects.

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” Thomas Jefferson

The democrat party is the party that supports murdering unborn children, mutilating confused children with anti-puberty drugs and surgeries.

Jesus said, “But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

The democrat party celebrates sexual deviancy.

“The first characteristic of sexual sin is deceit. It never delivers what it promises. It offers great satisfaction but gives great disappointment. It claims to be real living but is really the way to death.” John MacArthur

The democrat party is not for the common citizen; they advocate for open borders and benefits for illegal aliens.

“A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.” Ronald Reagan

The democrat party are simply liars and purveyors of evil as evidenced by their own words. By any means necessary. That is the democrat mantra. Their goal is to gain and maintain power, no matter what it takes. If it means burning down the country, so be it. They only want to rule to reap the rewards and privilege it extends. Love of money is the root of all evil and many democrats certainly love the wealth that “serving” in public office affords them.

The left despises this nation and all who live by its’ ideals. The democrat party is all in on leftist ideology. It is time that the voters of this nation reward them for their contempt of those they swore to serve. Every democrat that accepts the democrat’s positions on issues that adversely affect this nation should be roundly voted out of office. That is the only way that they will ever consider returning to normalcy.

“He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.” Isaiah 33:15-16

Make certain your vote is cast appropriately in the ’26 elections. We must call out and make our stand against the evil that is overcoming our nation and world. You, your loved ones, and your nation’s future is at stake.

 

 

Justification

 

Justification is the act of providing a good reason or explanation for something, often used in legal contexts to mean a valid defense for an action. It can also refer to the process of being declared righteous or acquitted, especially in religious terms. Google Assistant AI answer.

From the BBC Ethics Guide regarding war;

“What is a Just War?

Six conditions must be satisfied for a war to be considered just:

• The war must be for a just cause.
• The war must be lawfully declared by a lawful authority.
• The intention behind the war must be good.
• All other ways of resolving the problem should have been tried first.
• There must be a reasonable chance of success.
• The means used must be in proportion to the end that the war seeks to achieve.

How should a Just War be fought?

A war that starts as a Just War may stop being a Just War if the means used to wage it are inappropriate.

• Innocent people and non-combatants should not be harmed.
• Only appropriate force should be used.

·         This applies to both the sort of force, and how much force is used.

• Internationally agreed conventions regulating war must be obeyed.”

On October 7^th, 2023 Hamas attacked Israel, deliberately targeting innocent civilians, ruthlessly killing 1189 and taking 251 hostages back to Gaza. The atrocities committed by Hamas on that day were obscene. Killing babies, raping women, and killing entire families while laughing maniacally during their escapade. It was literally an embodiment of pure evil. There is absolutely no justification for the actions of Hamas on that day.

From the charter of Hamas.

“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with.”

“The day that enemies usurp part of Muslim land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Muslim. In face of the Jews' usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised. To do this requires the diffusion of Islamic consciousness among the masses, both on the regional, Arab and Islamic levels. It is necessary to instill the spirit of Jihad in the heart of the nation so that they would confront the enemies and join the ranks of the fighters.”

So much for any chance of reaching a two-state solution.  For Hamas it is their stated goal to pursue only the “from the river to the sea” solution, built upon the dead bodies of every Israeli. To radical Islamists, the only good Jew is a dead Jew. The land of Israel is the ancestral home of the Israelites, given to them by God as the promised land. The Lord said to Moses, “I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. And I have promised to bring you up out of your affliction in Egypt, into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.” Exodus 3:8, 17.

Islam accepts that God’s revelation was revealed to the prophets of the Old Testament, Abraham, Moses, Noah, and others, but further believes some of the original text was corrupted (only those that Islam rejects based on a long-standing hostility against Jews) from the revelation, compilation, and canonization of the Old Testament Bible. Conversely, Islam accepts that the Quran was revealed to Mohammed, compiled into written form, much of it after his death. Numerous translations of the Quran were in circulation. Around 650AD one version was canonized, and all others were burned to prevent confusion. Yet, Islam professes the Quran as wholly the word of God, uncorrupted.

Radical Islam and the civilized world cannot coexist. Radical Islamists have used passages of the Quran to justify murdering innocents. Radical Islam cannot and will not legitimately seek peace with Israel and the west. Hamas is populated with Islam-fascists that gleefully wage war against Israel, even as they radicalize and exploit the Palestinian population. This war was begun and escalated by Hamas, and they must be rooted out and eliminated. Yes, this is a just war, and Radical Islam should be rejected wholeheartedly by every Muslim. Until such a time as that occurs, this war must continue until Hamas and their evil ideology is defeated.

"This is what the LORD says: “As for all My evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to My people Israel, I am about to uproot them from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them. But after I have uprooted them, I will once again have compassion on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land.

And if they will diligently learn the ways of My people and swear by My name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives’—just as they once taught My people to swear by Baal—then they will be established among My people. But if they will not obey, then I will uproot that nation; I will uproot it and destroy it, declares the LORD.” Jeremiah 12:14-17

Evil is Real

Satan thrives within the invective spewed by the left.

In 1965, radio host Paul Harvey prophesized what the left and now the democrat party espouses today. If you are unsure that the democrat party has left the farm and, in truth, hates the very nation that they took an oath to represent, read the following transcript.

 “If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.

To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray, after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…

And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the devil, I’d soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions — just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.

Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography — soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil, I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.

If I were the devil I’d take from those who have and give to those who want until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.

And what do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would caution against extremes and hard work in Patriotism, in moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus, I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were the devil I’d just keep right on doing what he’s doing.”

Paul Harvey, good day.

If democrats continue to hold elected office, dominate journalism and academia, evil will spread and thrive. No longer can good people remain silent. Evil hates the light and if exposed, the people will reject it. We cannot be afraid to call out the evil in this world. We must proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must reach out to our neighbor with love so that those lost in the clutches of the evil one can awake and return to God. If we do nothing evil wins, and silence enables evil.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke

Toxic

 

Hatred spewed by the left claims another victim.

There truly is evil in this world and it is personified by those on the left. To remain relevant, the democrat party is embracing the ideals of leftist ideology. From Brittanica; “left, in politics, the portion of the political spectrum associated in general with egalitarianism and popular or state control of the major institutions of political and economic life. The term dates from the 1790s, when in the French revolutionary parliament the socialist representatives sat to the presiding officer’s left. Leftists tend to be hostile to the interests of traditional elites, including the wealthy and members of the aristocracy, and to favour the interests of the working class (see proletariat). They tend to regard social welfare as the most important goal of government. Socialism is the standard leftist ideology in most countries of the world; communism is a more radical leftist ideology.”

Leftists see Obama consider government as the vehicle to maintain control over the masses. Rhetoric can influence those who are weak minded and easy to convince. Democrat leaders, shut out of leadership in elected government, constantly and consistently rail against conservatism and capitalism. Democrat rhetoric has incited their radical base to engage in a fight against an existential threat, as they put it, to the very way of life this nation facilitates. Democrats have used their bully pulpit to ramp up our political divide, using their most rabid supporters to commit acts of violence.

Charlie Kirk was not a purveyor of hatred. He promoted engaging in productive dialogue on college campuses throughout the country. He emphasized his love of Jesus Christ and encouraged others to seek Him. Charlie Kirk did nothing to deserve the wrath of those on the left and his assassination was senseless. We need to be able to debate our differences. We need to be tolerant of all opinions. We need to be able to love and respect our neighbors of different faiths and political beliefs.

Charlie Kirk was a shining example of all that is good in this world. Anyone celebrating his death should take a good long look in the mirror. The left seeks to eliminate God and family. As Christians it is our duty to get involved and make certain our nation does not plummet into the abyss it is seemingly destined to fall. If this is not a call to wake up, I don’t know what is? Are we as Christians and conservatives intent to hide our beliefs under a basket or called to place them on the highest rooftop for all to see? Satan may have won this skirmish, but we know who wins in the end.

“Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
