For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Uncut factoids ... If squeamish, don't open ...Thx Dr. H!

A Few Important Factoids


Undeniable facts

1. A girl is said to be grown up when she starts wearing a bra.  A boy is grown up when he starts removing it.

2. We all love to spend money buying new clothes, but we never realize that the best moments in life are enjoyed without clothes.

3. Having a cold drink on hot day with a few friends is nice, but having a hot friend on a cold night after a few drinks — PRICELESS.

4. Breaking News: Condoms don’t guarantee safe sex anymore.  A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot dead by the woman’s husband.

5. Arguing over a girl’s bust size is like choosing among Molson, Heineken, Carlsberg and Budweiser.  Men may state their preferences, but will grab whatever is available.

6. A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.

Hot coffee and grandkids ... Thx Dr. H!

Hot Coffee
Gotta love those grand-kids . . .

I was eating breakfast with my 10-year-old Granddaughter and I asked her,
"What day is tomorrow?"

Without skipping a beat she said, "It's Presidents Day!"

She's smart, so I asked her "What does Presidents Day mean?"

I was waiting for something about Obama, Bush or Clinton, etc.

She replied, "Presidents Day is when the President steps out of the White
House, and if he sees his shadow, we have 4 more years of Bull Shit."

You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose.

No alarm at persecution of Iraqui Christians ... Georgie Anne Geyer Commentary 10/23/14 Dispatch

Georgie Anne Geyer commentary: Where’s outrage over persecution of Iraqi Christians?

Avidly reading and watching the news, from Islamic State to Ebola recently, I have been repeatedly surprised by the absence of one rather important word: Christian.
In all the innumerable words and pictures that have told the misery-ridden stories of these two sagas, almost none have attempted to tell the story of Christianity being wiped out, usually viciously, in the very sands in which Christ and the Bible were born. And this is strange, indeed, for Christianity remains the world’s largest religion, with 2.18 billion adherents, or a third of the global population.
Consider first the American doctor, Kent Brantly, whose work confronting Ebola in Nigeria resulted in being infected himself. He became the very symbol of the disease when he was flown back to the U.S. and was healed at Emory University Hospital. Dr. Brantly is an impassioned member of the medical wing of Samaritan’s Purse, the Protestant overseas missionary group led by Billy Graham’s son, the Rev. Franklin Graham, and yet I never saw him referred to as a Christian missionary.
After he had recovered, Brantly spoke to other members of the group, expressing his Christian faith, saying: “I will never grow tired of talking of this. I’m going to keep telling my story, so I can remember what God has done in my life.”
Yet, it is not only in the Ebola story, which has primarily spread its poison across Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea on the northwest coast of Africa, but also in the story of the Islamic State, in Iraq and Syria, that the Christian element has been ignored.
For days after Islamic State seemingly came out of nowhere to ride across the sands of Iraq in tanks and trucks, ravaging everything in sight, the story seemed to be about their persecution of a religious group rare to Iraq, the Yazidis. An ancient group with touches of Zoroastrianism, this people were driven by the Islamic State zealots to a lone mountain, where they survived thanks to American bombs and Kurdish fighters.
The strange thing here is that the Yazidis, one of many fascinating minority religious groups in Iraq, were neither as numerous as Iraqi Christians nor more persecuted. Islamic State had been going house to house in Christian neighborhoods in northern Iraq, marking doors to identify the residents as Christians, to be moved out and/or destroyed.
Almost nothing has been reported with regard to this persecution, although the Christians (like the earlier Jewish community, which was sent to Israel) were a large group. Pre-2003, the Christian population of Iraq was about 1.5 million or 5 percent of the population, according to The Economist; today, it has fallen to under 400,000, and is falling every day.
Ironically, during this time, the most complete and moving article on the media’s silence has been from Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, in The New York Times.
“Historians may look back at this period and wonder if people had lost their bearings,” Lauder wrote. “Few reporters have traveled to Iraq to bear witness to the Nazi-like wave of terror that is rolling across that country. The United Nations has been mostly mum. World leaders seem to be consumed with other matters in this strange summer of 2014. There are no flotillas traveling to Syria or Iraq. … Why doesn’t the slaughter of Christians seem to activate their social antennas?”
But where are the words that should be coming from the heads of the Methodist Church, from the Presbyterians, from the Episcopalians? The pope has rent his conscience over the persecution of the Christians in both Iraq and the West Bank, but where are the other Catholic leaders, much less the accomplished scholars from the various divinity schools?
And the word Protestant, a movement that gave birth to capitalism, human equality and the constitutional construction of modern states, is virtually never seen in the media.
If the word Protestant is not heard here, then perhaps one should not be surprised when one day it becomes as rare as the Chaldeans, the Melkite Greek Catholics, the Syrian Orthodox, the Nestorians or the Assyrian Church of the East, only a few of the churches that have constituted the rich Christian tradition in what was once the true world of the Bible.

NARFE - COLAannouncement needs New formula! ... Thx Marge R!


This press release is being sent to all NARFE members.
COLA Announcement Renews Need for New Inflation Formula
Alexandria, VA – Following the Bureau of Labor Statistics announcement of a 1.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2015, Joseph A. Beaudoin, president of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE), released the following statement on the impact to federal civilian retirement annuities and Social Security benefits:
"News of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for the coming year always is eagerly awaited by the countless Americans who rely on the increase to keep up with the rising price of food, housing, transportation and medical care. However, despite the partial relief this 1.7 percent COLA will provide, the announcement is a reminder that our method for calculating the increasing cost of goods and services is out of sync with the reality faced by millions of federal annuitants, Social Security recipients and military retirees, who spend more than twice as much on medical care than the population measured by the current CPI-W formula.
“The average 3.8 percent increase in health care premiums for federal employees and retirees in 2015 shows that medical costs continue to outpace the COLA as it is calculated presently. We need a cost-of-living formula that doesn't force these Americans to take one step forward, then two steps back.

"As members of Congress and the President develop their budget proposals for fiscal year 2016, I urge them to include a switch to the CPI-E formula, a more accurate measure of inflation that accounts for health care and other costs facing seniors.

"Conversely, they should reject previous proposals to switch to the Chained CPI, which would only make a bad situation worse by further decreasing the hard-earned benefits of Social Security recipients and federal retirees, while increasing taxes on lower- and middle-income taxpayers.”

Target Stores 2013- Surprising Read


I thought everyone knew this.
   "
   America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we
falter and lose our
   freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

  
   -Abraham
   Lincoln
    
   TARGET
   STORES ARE NOW IN CANADA , SINCE MARCH OR APRIL OF
2013.
   THEY
   HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ZELLERS STORES. TARGET IS
LOOKING FOR NEW AREAS AS
   THEY ARE    GETTING A VERY BAD RECEPTION
IN  THE U.S.
  
   MAINLY
   DUE TO THEIR NON-CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES AND  POLICIES.

   
   TARGET
   STORES HEAD OFFICE IS IN FRANCE . THE OFFICE IS  NOW

   MUSLIM
   CONTROLLED, WHICH EXPLAINS THE  NON-CHRISTIAN

   ATTITUDE.
   WE SUPPORT CANADIAN TIRE, HOME HARDWARE,  ETC.

   THOSE
   WHICH ARE CANADIAN OWNED AND OPERATED.
   
   Target
   Stores What a surprise! Wasn't it last Christmas that
Target refused to let
   the
   Salvation
   Army ring their bells in front of their  stores?

   
   Dick
   Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association  wrote:

   Recently
   we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud
   sponsor
   of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial all during  our

   Spring
   recognition event.  Remember, there are  also

   Canadians
   occupying space on these walls.
   
   We
   received the following reply from the local TARGET
management:
  
   "Veterans
   do not meet our Area of giving. We only donate to the

   arts,
   social action groups, gay & lesbian causes, and
education."
   So
   I'm thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall,
and Veterans
   in
   general, do not meet their donation criteria, then
something is really
  
   wrong
   at this TARGET store. We were not asking for
thousands of dollars,
  
   not
   even hundreds, just a small sponsorship for a
memorial remembrance.
  
   As a
   follow-up, I e-mailed the TARGET U.S. Corporate
Headquarters and
  
   their
   response was the same...That's their National
policy!!!
   
   Then
   I looked into the company further. They will not
allow  the Marines to
   collect
   for
   'Toys for Tots' at any of their Stores. And during
the  recent Iraq
   deployment,
   they
   would not allow families of employees who were
called  up for Active duty
   to
   continue
   their insurance coverage while they were on  military
service..
  
   Now,
   I'm thinking again.. If TARGET cannot support
American  (or Canadian)
  
   Veterans,
   then why should my family and I support  their stores
by spending
  
   our
   hard earned American or Canadian dollars in their
stores???  and,
   have
   their
   profits sent to France to Support Muslim
Organizations.
   
   Sincerely,
  
   Dick
   Forrey
   Veterans
   Helping Veterans
   
    
  
   Please
   send this on to everyone you know, to let Target
know
   we
   don't need them either, we're all in a position to
reduce sales to
  
   these
   stores as soon as this gets around....
   
   THERE
   IS POWER IN THE PEN AND THE COMPUTER  EMAILS !!
