Deceived by the worship of self-destruction.

Pride, arrogance, haughtiness are evidence of self-worship and devaluation of God. Celebrities, politicians, and other elites seem to believe that their skills are magnified and their intellects expanded. Since they are proficient in their chosen fields, they extrapolate those skills to make themselves experts in matters in which they do not possess any real-life knowledge.

“Those lowbrow, knuckle dragging Christians cannot possibly understand the nuances of transgenderism or the “monogamous, loving” homosexual lifestyle.” “Conservatives that reject wokeness and long for a return to meritocracy are nothing but a bunch of racist white supremacists.” “The unwashed masses cannot possibly comprehend the democrat’s vision of economic policy and “fair” taxation.” “Supporting legal immigration equals denying refugees.”

“When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom. Proverbs 11:2.

“By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.” Psalm 59:12

Biology affirms that two genders are necessary for procreation of all mammals. Procreation enables the perpetuation of species. Medical science has developed alternate methods to circumvent the traditional method to inseminate a human female, but both genders are still required for artificial insemination. Transgenderism, or what was once formally recognized as gender dysphoria, is a mental disorder. One cannot, no matter how much one desires it to be true, change their gender and be a fully functioning man or woman. A transgender male will never be able to father a child, and a transgender female will never be able to deliver a child. Additionally, surgically altered transgendered individuals will never be able to have normal sexual relations. Subjecting children to puberty blocking drugs or surgical alterations as “gender affirming care” should be accompanied with an arrest and revocation of medical licensing.

“Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.” Colossians 3:5-6

Love your neighbor as yourself. Forgive as you have been forgiven. Political correctness and wokeness threaten the very foundations of society. Hatred and revenge are the hallmarks of the left with their unbridled rush to level the playing field to exact retribution from those labeled as oppressors. “Democratic” socialism is their solution where equity reigns and equality dies. Tax the rich until there are no rich. When the money dries up, then what? Capitalism is far from perfect, but it does foster equal opportunity to all.

Jesus said, “As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:9-13

Unbridled spending drives inflation enables fraud on an almost unimaginable scale and creates generational reliance upon government largesse. Black Americans have been shackled with government handouts and confined to inner city slums for decades by policies championed by democrats. Estimates of fraud are as high as 20% of government spending, or over $1Trillion annually. The national debt has been driven north of $37Trillion by wasteful spending and fraud. Think about that. How can 535 congressional members conduct appropriate oversight, when half of them are likely on the take? Donald Trump and Republicans are not an existential threat to democracy; democrats most certainly are. Congressional democrats have enriched themselves at taxpayer expense. They serve themselves, not their constituency. They take advantage of their position and wield power to their own benefit.

 “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

We are living in an upside-down world. Our selfish human nature places us outside of God’s will. Society has prioritized the selfish desires of humankind and denied our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Reject the selfishness of the world. Without Jesus we are lost. This is why the world is spiraling out of control. This is why criminals are protected and law enforcement is vilified. This is why so many have resorted to violence. This is why families are torn apart over differing politics. There is a true solution to what ails us. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Follow Him and your world will return to ordered, instead of chaotic. Follow Him and you will learn that loving your neighbor is far more fulfilling than harboring pent-up anger and hatred. Follow Him and you will experience the joy of your salvation. Jesus can heal your heart and change the world. Follow Him!

“Jesus heals your past, is your very present help, and takes care of your future.” Joseph Prince.

All He wants is your heart. Give it to Him and you will be transformed.

“This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.” 1 John 4:9-10.

 

 

Sociopath

 

5 easy steps to socialism.

“The silence of good men isn't the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil. The persons advancing the evil, whether in command or the rank-and-file, must be strong and determined; and the lukewarm must be either cowed into submission or willing to go along because the evil seems to prosper.” Professor David Bromwich.

“Go along to get along.” “Don’t rock the boat.” “Someone else will do the right thing.” It is extremely easy to justify one’s actions, or the lack thereof. Our collective lack of courage to stand up and confront evil is appalling. Ignoring that which does not seem to directly affect us presently, even though others may be adversely affected, seems to be the calling card of our “I don’t want to get involved” society. Whether it be the parenting of our children without instilling proper Christian morals and values, or overparenting by enabling their children’s every whim, every new generation is becoming increasingly directionless.

The left’s strategy to infiltrate academia is bearing fruit as a generation of young people have embraces the siren song of socialism. Never mind that socialism’s failures are well documented, “democratic socialism” is the antidote to those disasters. Never mind the death and destruction socialism has left in its path throughout history. Never mind that eventually production slows to halt when workers realize that being productive is of no value to them. Welfare fails because recipients understand that working for a living is of no benefit when the government provides funding for food, housing, heat, and childcare? Socialism in any form cannot and will not ever succeed.

We are witnessing an insurgency, intent upon fundamentally transforming this nation, driven by a compliant, lying mainstream media, leftist democrat party leaders, and imbedded leftist bureaucrats in government and academia. Enabled by that cacophony of support, useful idiots become vigilantes, fighting against a perceived injustice to criminal illegal immigrants. These crazed individuals actually think they are performing a public service championing the “oppressed.” All they are doing is accomplishing the leftist goal of destroying the nation in which they enjoy the freedoms that allow them to act the fool. And if they somehow succeed in this “mission” they will discover that what you wish for is not the reality that one would hope it would be.

New York elected avowed socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor of the largest city in the United States. It is early in his tenure, but the signs are pointing toward an epic financial collapse and a legacy of incompetent leadership. For those that propelled him to victory, it will be a rude awakening. Past performance is the best indicator of success or failure. New York was able to survive the inept leadership of Bill DeBlasio and his socialistic policies, but he was not a full-blown socialist. Until people wake up and realize that they are being lied to and used as pawns, we will ever steadily approach the point of no return. The United States is on track for another civil war, like it or not. The left is winning, and with every day that elapses, more join in this movement toward socialism.

Democrats are indelibly the party of the left. The left’s mantra is socialism. Supporting democrats, or opposing Republicans, enables and emboldens the left. Far too many conservatives sit on the sideline, neglect their civic duty to vote, and acquiesce to the insanity of the left. This is a struggle to maintain the freedoms granted by our Constitutional Republic. Once it is gone, it will be gone forever. We only need to look to the European Union to see how easy it is to lose cherished freedoms, if taken for granted.

Socialism is a pox upon humanity that quashes the incentive of the individual to succeed. Nations fail under the weight of the tyranny necessary to maintain order when socialist states begin to collapse. This is inevitable for the United States if we fail to make our voices heard. California, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, and Illinois are prime examples of leftist democrat “leadership.” These are harbingers of what is yet to come for everyone else in this once great “shining city on a hill” if we stand by and allow it to happen. The story is not yet set in stone. Our fate is not yet determined. Will you stand firm and vote for representatives that share your values that support liberty and the rule of law? Or will you sit back and watch our country burn?

“Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood. But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever.” John Adams

Your Lying Eyes

 

Believe what you are told, not what you see.

The moral of the story is that in a civil society you must obey the lawful orders of police officers. Comply and you will not die. After the tragic, but entirely preventable shooting in Minneapolis, democrats would have you ignore obvious exculpatory video evidence that the ICE officer was justified in shooting a citizen attempting to strike him with her car. Democrats have chosen to become the existential threat to democracy that they have falsely accused Donald Trump of. Their over-the-top rhetoric not only approaches a call for insurrection; it is absolutely a call for citizens to engage in civil unrest and/or violence to obstruct immigration and law enforcement by any means necessary.

Democrats and their leftist allies have transitioned from the all-out attempts at derailing Trump’s agenda to full out crazy town. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz all but declares war on the federal government. Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty declares that she will lead a counter-investigation. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison demands all evidence and to oversee a federal investigation in which he has no jurisdiction. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey prejudges the shooting and accuses the ICE officer of murder, even after viewing video that exonerates the officer. Other democrat run city officials bluster to placate the mob, promising to arrest and fight any immigration enforcement action. Are these people living in an alternate reality?

Leftists organize and train irrational useful idiots in guerilla tactics to be foot soldiers, putting their lives at risk, while turning them loose against ICE officers. Anarchists, who could care less about “undocumented immigrants,” are intent upon destroying the foundations of a civil society, creating havoc and chaos. Loud mouth fools further incite the mob, cheered on as they encourage the mob’s anger to a fever pitch. The mob’s escalating violence threatens their own wellbeing and that of those around them. And when democrat run city officials stand down the police and allow the mob to take control, reason and violence spin out of control. Without consequences, mob rule replaces the rule of law.

These protests are not against a tyrannical government. These protests are not advocating against unreasonable application of just laws. These protests intend to create chaos to disrupt civil society and foment violence in the furtherance of destroying capitalism and replacing it with a socialist “Utopia.” These useful idiot foot soldiers are advocating for their own country’s demise and elimination of the freedoms this nation affords. The very freedoms misused by those who would conquer us and impose their idea of a “just” society. One that divides by race, class, and ideology.

Vigilantism does not comport with a society based upon the rule of law. The only time a positive outcome occurs when people take matters into their own hands is in Hollywood productions. In film, the hero seldom is seriously injured or dies. In reality, the consequences are dire, unless you happen to reside in democrat run cities where law is not enforced. Those who challenge law enforcement provoke escalating force that is necessary to protect the officer and citizenry, and to effect an arrest. Fighting the police will lead to negative consequences for the offender. In other words, if you comply, you will not die.

Yet, democrats are so intent upon destroying Trump that they are willing to burn down the country to do so. Democrat’s gravy train of corruption derived wealth and illicit benefits outweigh any semblance of duty to uphold their oath to uphold the Constitution. Fulfilling their role as the loyal opposition takes a back seat to opposing Trump on everything. Democrats will incite the unpredictable, villainize Jews and Christians, promote sexual deviancy, protect criminals, support foreign tyrants, and defend the indefensible. Democrats will obfuscate, obstruct, and lie whenever it suits their need. They are plainly in league with Satan and if they refuse to return to God, they must be shunned.

Yet, we are still charged to love our neighbor and help lead the lost to Christ. How do we fight against this evil overtaking our nation while fulfilling our duty as Christians to love our neighbor as ourselves? When Jesus sent out the twelve disciples out to minister to the people, he said, “Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on. As you enter the home, greet its occupants. If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.” Matthew 10:11-15.

This nation will not be lost to the evil one if evil is confronted and called out for what it is. People overcome by evil are lost, apart from God, but God still loves everyone unconditionally. But those overcome by evil must repent and return to Christ. We cannot judge, especially those who are lost. But we do have a responsibility to share the word so that those seeds of faith may be nurtured by the Holy Spirit. Those who continue to reject the Father and His one true Son are condemned.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.” John 3:16-21.

It is incumbent upon us to shine the light in the darkness so that all may see. Evil cannot exist within the light of truth. Do not acquiesce to the evilness of the world. Be that light. Proclaim God’s truth. Plant the seeds of faith by your actions, speech, and faith. Love your neighbor as yourself, no matter how difficult it may seem to be at times.

Fraudsters

 

There’s good reason that democrats are all about spending taxpayer money.

When organized criminal organizations acquire their ill begotten income, they need a method to circumvent the IRS. Many of these criminal enterprises use shadow companies to “launder” or hide their money from the authorities. Some criminals use real companies, but most are simply storefront businesses that create spreadsheets only. Noted 1930’s mobster Al Capone was incarcerated and died in Federal prison after being convicted of income tax evasion. One thing criminals always do is keep a record of their finances. That is how most criminals are eventually caught and prosecuted.

The efficiency of the democrat machine puts most criminal organizations to shame. The tangled web of fraud is deep and pervasive. The Substack site Dollar vs Peso has a great article documenting the fraud perpetrated by the democrat machine. Here. The United States government spent almost $7Trillion in 2024. That’s a 7 with 12 zeros after it. Hard to even imagine that much money. Harder still to have the proper oversight and management of those funds. But, if you’re in government long enough, one can find a way to redirect that funding to your benefit.

The now defunct USAID had a budget of $21.7Billion in 2024. Much of that funding went to non-governmental agencies (NGO) to administer. Once allocated for any matter of programs worldwide, government oversight ended. If you believe that the $50Million for condoms in Gaza were spent appropriately, I’ve got a bridge for sale that may interest you. $Millions were skimmed from these programs and redirected to the DNC from numerous USAID “programs” through various NGOs. Funding was provided to various entities that, in turn, redistributed a percentage of the funding to democrats and democrat causes. This scheme has been perfected by decades of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats that keep the gravy train rolling.

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) was the largest recipient of USAID funding, receiving $4.6Billion in 2024. They received an additional $2.9Billion in immigration related funding during the Biden administration. Over 90% of the political donations from employes of CRS went to democrat candidates and causes. Chemonics International was next with over $4.5Billion. 100% of political donations made by their employees went to democrat candidates. FHI 360 is next on the list with $3.8Billion in funding. Over 90% of their employees donated to democrat candidates. Planned Parenthood (PP) received $700Million in federal funding in 2024. PP donated over $5Million to democrat candidates and causes in 2024. George Soros’ Open Society received over $270Million from USAID since 2010. Your tax dollars go to fund soft on crime District Attorneys, is suspected of funding groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter, and other organizations that promote anarchy and disruption in democracies.

In a nutshell, democrats are dirty. Sure, some Republicans are too. Especially those who have been in office forever, but democrats are evil to the core. You can find blue dog, Kennedy democrats, but they are few and far between. In the hierarchy of democrat ambitions, serving the people is far down the list. Smurfs, straw democrat donors, used to give tens of $Millions to the DNC using their names and addresses, without their permission. Democrat funded and supplied protestors travel throughout the US to disrupt any policies deemed unsatisfactory by the democrat party. Lawsuit after lawsuit is filed by democrat operatives targeting everything from elections to congressional and executive actions to boards of education fighting wokeness. The democrats, their allies in the media, and activist judges will obstruct anything that impedes their agenda, and their agenda is counter to what we, the people want.

I was a loyal democrat until the mid-1990’s, union member, and chief steward. I voted for Jimmy Carter, twice. Yep, Bill Clinton, both times. Supported him during the Lewinsky impeachment hearings. Started listening to Rush Limbaugh on a bet for one week to prove to my conservative co-worker that I was right and he was wrong. I lost! That’s when I found out that I had closed my mind to anything that did not comport with my worldview. I had discovered the enemy, and it was me. I realized just how obtuse I had become. It was like my eyes had been opened for the first time. I began reading from conservative news and comparing it to liberal news. I became a recovering liberal who discovered just how bad democrat policies were to we, the people.

If more people took the time to really listen to all sides of an argument, I believe most would reject the policies of identity politics, wokeness, and divisiveness that embodies the democrat party. Democrats do not offer anything of value to we, the people. Democrats want to rule and not serve. Democrats are all about enriching themselves and maintaining power, that allows them to continue enriching themselves. Democrats must not remain in power in any government office or bureaucracy. We must clean house in Congress and remove partisan bureaucrats. If your representative is not aligned with your values, vote for someone who does. Let’s put God fearing, moral, and ethical servant leaders in Congress that serve we, the people, not themselves.
