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.

Bill O'Reilly's "A Tale of One Speech" ... Thx Bill O!

Welcome back, Sam! Thanks for being a P.M.
A Tale of One Speech
By: BillOReilly.com StaffSeptember 21, 2017
President Trump "borders on the threat of committing a war crime."
No, President Trump was "bold and courageous and forthright."
Same speech, two wildly different reactions.  The first is from Terry Moran, an ABC News correspondent who is as unabashedly biased as anyone on the air.  The other is from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose nation is under constant existential threat. 
To quote Groucho Marx, "Who ya gonna believe?" 
If we are a polarized nation, and we are, President Trump's speech to the United Nations General Assembly provided more stark evidence. 
Left-wing journalists, pardon the redundancy, generally loathed the president's forthrightness regarding North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela. 
Brian Fallon, a former Hillary Clinton mouthpiece now paid by CNN to hammer the president, described it as "intellectually confused if not outright incoherent."  NBC's Andrea Mitchell called it "bombastic," while MSNBC guest Lawrence Wilkerson blasted it as "the most atrocious speech I've ever heard an American president give in any venue."  Really, the "most atrocious ever?"  Wow! 
On the right, Trump's tough talk won widespread praise, perhaps best summarized by former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton.  "This was the best speech of the Trump presidency," he declared, adding that President Trump "was as clear and direct as it is possible to be." 
Putting aside the speech and its merits or flaws, the post-game analysis provides a clear look at America in the age of Trump.  Whatever he does, whatever he says, the president's supporters support, his critics criticize.  It's just what they do. 
When the president refered to Kim Jong Un as "Rocket Man," his voters snickered and brushed it off as harmless humor.  But his legion of enemies acted as if President Trump dropped the verbal version of a hydrogen bomb directly on Pyongyang 
When President Trump met with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to discuss DACA and the so-called "dreamers," his supporters gave him the benefit of the doubt.  But left-wingers went as ballistic as Kim Jong Un, questioning how any Democrat could possibly talk with and "normalize" the president.  You probably saw the amusing scene where Pelosi was shouted down by immigrants, normally her most reliable constituents.  Simply because she spoke with the president of the United States. 
President Trump's approval rating, according to a new poll by Politico/Morning Consult, has ticked up to 43%, and he remains very popular among four in five Republican voters.  But Democrats really, really dislike the guy.  In the latest Gallup daily tracking poll, a whopping 9% of Dems approve of President Trump's performance.  He is presumably less popular among liberal Democrats than Venezuela's President Maduro. 
Unfortunately, all of this is unlikely to change very much.  The liberal media, which means pretty much all of the media, will continue to harp on the president's shortcomings.  If the administration does something well, as it apparently has after the hurricanes in Texas and Florida, you will not hear much about it.
Hollywood will continue to bash the president at every awards show, ratings be damned.  Just this week Ellen DeGeneres declared that the president of the United States, the leader of the free world, is forever banned from her talk show.  Why?  Because he's "dangerous" to the country and the world.  Will Ellen be asking prospective guests if they voted for this dangerous man? 
Barring some unifying event such as war or an act of terror, this unhealthy and unprecedented polarization will likely continue for four or eight years, as long as the loved-and-loathed Donald Trump resides in the White House. 
You knew this would be a very bumpy ride, so you probably buckled up a long time ago.  But it's worth double-checking your air bags as well.  It's getting bumpier out there by the day.

From the article above: "this unhealthy and unprecedented polarization will likely continue for four or eight years, as long as the loved-and-loathed Donald Trump resides in the White House". This polarization will be going on until our Country breaks apart. I know a Lutheran Minister. I am not Lutheran. This Minister stated to me that liberalism is evil and it is! To bash everything that Trump does or says, even if it is for the good of the Country, is ludicrous!

What happened to make the left and that is just about all the media so stunted in their ideology? Absolutely bereft of any reasoning.

The power of the American model was the understanding between the Republican and Democrats that the constitution was out of bound. Today the Democrats could not care less about the constitution. The Democrats intend to deal with any federal laws as they see fit. This means that once the opposition access to the presidency or the control of congress, the first 2 years of this power grab will be spent reversing the preceding party in power. Bill you are right, hang on to your seat belt and check your air bag!!!???
