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.

Tyrone ... Thx Paul C!

Tyrone
  
Tyrone was having trouble in school; his teacher was always yelling at him, "You're driving me crazy, Tyrone; can't you learn anything?”
 
One day Tyrone's mother came to school to see how he was doing. The teacher told her honestly that her son was simply a disaster, getting very low marks, and that she had never had such an unmotivated and ignorant boy in her entire teaching career. Tyrone’s mom, shocked at the feedback, withdrew her son from school and moved out of Detroit, relocating to Cleveland.
 
25 years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an irreversible cardiac disease. Her doctors all strongly advised her to have open heart surgery, which only one surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic could perform.
 
Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was remarkably successful.
 
When she opened her eyes after the surgery she saw the handsome young doctor who headed her surgical team smiling down at her. She wanted to thank him, but could not talk. As her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something, but quickly died. The doctor was shocked, wondering what went wrong so suddenly. When the doctor turned around to leave the room, he saw Tyrone, now a janitor at the Clinic had unplugged the life-support equipment in order to plug in his vacuum cleaner.
 
If you thought that Tyrone had become a heart-surgeon, there is a high likelihood that you voted for Hillary or Trudeau.
 

Frank H response story to Tyrone from Paul C

While on holiday in Kenya and walking through the bush a man comes across an elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seems distressed so the man approaches very carefully. He gets down on one knee and inspects the bottom of the elephant's foot only to find a large thorn deeply embedded. As carefully and as gently as he can he removes the thorn and the elephant gingerly puts its foot down. The elephant turns to face the man and with a rather stern look on its face, stares at him. For a good ten minutes the man stands frozen - thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant turns and walks away.
For years after, the man often remembers and ponders the events of that day. Years later the man is walking through the zoo with his son. As they approach the elephant enclosure, one of the elephants turns and walks over to where they are standing at the rail. It stares at him and the man can't help wondering if this is the same elephant. The man climbs tentatively over the railing and makes his way into the enclosure. He walks right up to the elephant and stares back in wonder. Suddenly the elephant wraps its trunk around one of the man's legs and swings him wildly back and forth along the railing, instantly killing him.
Probably not the same elephant then.

Draining the swamp is messy ... thx Ron W and your friend, Alex!

Received this from a friend.

DRAINING THE SWAMP IS MESSY!

Our home is in a community of 2,000 homes located on the inter coastal in North Carolina.  Everything lives here.   
Alligators. Water moccasins.  Rattle snakes.  Sea hawks.  Egrets.  Giant blue heron. Mosquitoes… blood sucking 
mosquitoes.  We've watched from our back porch as dolphins chased sail boats and motor boats up the inter coastal 
and watched the moon rise over the ocean to cast its glow over the inter coastal.

 When the community decided to drain the swamp in the center of the community, it was a big deal.

Draining the swamp was messy.   The swamp was about 10 football fields, about 6 feet deep, with lots of creatures 
living in it. It was a dangerous swamp.  Not one that you would walk  or swim.   
You would not dare sit next to it in the dark of a moonless night.   
If not the snakes, then the mosquitoes would eat you alive.

 As the water level decreased, the creatures were exposed.   As the
water level disappeared, all that was left was 3 feet of yucky black
mud and the roots to dying cypress trees.   The fish, snakes, frogs,
rats, and birds were all stranded in the yucky mud.

Those creatures of the swamp fought for their lives as the swamp
disappeared.   The fish flopped around in the black mud looking for
some water for life.   The frogs croaked incessantly all night while
their young pollywogs were stranded  lifeless at the top of the black
mud.   Snakes slithered in every direction in the black mud in search
of food.   The rats that live in hollows all along the water abandoned
their nests while the birds that feed off the swamp creatures also abandoned the area.

Finally, the mud dried out.   No more snakes. No more rats.  No more fish. No more frogs.  
No more mosquitoes.  And no more birds that feed off those creatures of the swamp.

That same thing is happening to the political swamp in America.
Trump is draining the swamp.   His picks for his cabinet are all swamp
drainers. Yeah, 3 are from Goldman Sachs.  3 of 23. Practically all of his cabinet 
have executive experience (military, or government, or private sector) .. and it is the 
executive branch, now isn't it?

The mud is becoming visible as all the creatures who live in the
swamp are fighting for their lives.   Government employees at the IRS,
EPA, and Education are flapping in the mud like dying fish. The
lobbyists are slithering here and there looking for government funds 
like the snakes in the mud ... especially those who wrote Obamacare.
The liberal media cartel is chirping and croaking  all the time like
frogs trying to reverse the draining.   The tax and spend politicians
are dying off like the blood sucking mosquitoes.  The political appointees 
of Obama are fleeing DC for other jobs like the birds who lost their meal tickets.   
And the information leakers - like Comey and Lynch - are looking for new places 
to nest like the rats that left the swamp. Soon, all that will remain will be the dying 
institutions like public education in the cities as the dying cypress trees of our society.

Everyone who lived off the swamp is praying for rain. Election rain so Democrats might 
win some elections from Republicans since the Democrats suffered such horrible defeats 
during the 8 years of Obama.

Impeachment rain so the professional politicians can get rid of Trump
as the swamp drainer. Low approval rating rain so the media can claim 
they were correct about Trump.   Virtual rain, fake rain, so pundits can 
claim that Trump is not making any progress, even though the results say the opposite.

Draining the swamp is messy, muddy.   But the mud will soon dry.
Democrats just lost special elections in Arkansas and Omaha after sinking millions into them.  
Democrats might grab an election here or there in places like Georgia, where the demographics 
are changing to black communities, but not without millions and millions of campaign money ... 
and Democrats cannot afford to do that for all the elections in 2018.  Democrats must defend 23 
Senators in 2018 as compared to 10 for Republicans and Democrats must win 25 seats in the 
US House from Republicans and then win back 900 state legislative seats and 14 governorships.  
If Georgia is an example, that will cost Democrats hundreds of millions to try.

SCOTUS will be rendering its decisions about Trump executive orders just before the 2018 elections ... 
and more than likely, SCOTUS will rule against the Obama appointed judges who live in the lower court swamps.  
SCOTUS will help Trump.

Comey is gone.  Lynch is in trouble.  Clinton is back in trouble.
The Clinton Foundation donors are talking.  
Clapper and Yates both said that there is no evidence of collusion
between Trump and the Russians.

Schumer is gasping for rain like one of those stranded fish. His Republican swamp buddies, like McCain, 
will abandon him as he dies … a rat leaving the swamp even though they shared an apartment together.
His Wall Street swamp buddies cannot help him.   The Washington Post and The New York Times and CNN 
and NBC are all trying to seed the clouds.  But none of it is producing enough rain to help Schumer stop Trump 
from draining the swamp.

Draining the swamp is loud. Listen to all the hysterical liberal media cartel who are trying to make it rain in order to save 
the swamp where they live. Chanting.  Lies. Rain dances.  But no real rain is coming.  Only fake rain.   


The swamp will soon be dry.    And when it is, then the next task is to make America great again.

Thanks Ron!  Your friend Alex sends some interesting messages.  This is a great analogy.  We also have a few republicans who are swamp creatures in my mind.  Repubs are responsible for bringing on Medicare D for paying prescription drugs which only adds further to our humongous debt, but nothing like Obamacare Repeal. the senate republican clowns are blocking.
