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.

Chicago Plumber ... Thx Gerry C abd Sarah R!

Chicago Plumber




Only weeks after leaving office on January 20, 2017, former President Barack
Obama discovered a leak under his sink, so he called Troy the Plumber to
come out and fix it.

Troy drove to President Obama's new house, which is located in a very
exclusive, gated community near Chicago, where all the residents have a net
income of way more than $250,000 per year. Troy arrived and took his tools into the house.  He was led to the guest bathroom that contained the leaky pipe under the sink.  Troy assessed the problem and told Obama that it was an easy repair & that will take less than 10 minutes.  Obama asked Troy how much it will cost.  Troy checked his rate chart and said, "$9,500."

"What?!  $9,500?!" Obama asked, stunned, "But you said it's an easy repair.

Troy said, "Yes, but what I do is charge those who make more than $250,000
per year a much higher amount so I can fix the plumbing of poorer people for
free.  This has always been my philosophy.  As a matter of fact, I lobbied
the Democrat Congress, who passed this philosophy into law.  Now all
plumbers must do business this way.  It's known as the 'Affordable Plumbing
Act of 2014'.  I'm surprised you haven't heard of it.” In spite of that, Obama told Troy there's no way he's paying that much for a small plumbing repair, so Troy left.  Obama spent the next hour flipping through the phone book calling for another plumber, but he found that all other plumbing businesses in the area have gone out of business.  Not wanting to pay Troy's price, Obama does nothing and the leak goes un-repaired for several more days.  A week later the leak is so bad President Obama has had to put a bucket under the sink.

Michelle is not happy as she had Oprah and guests arriving the next morning.
The bucket filled up quickly and had to be emptied every hour, and there was
a risk the room will flood, so Obama called Troy and pleaded with him to
return. Troy went back to Obama's house, looked at the leaky pipe, checked his new rate chart and said, "Let's see, this will now cost you $21,000."
Obama quickly fired back, "What?  A few days ago you told me it would cost
$9,500!"

Troy explained, "Well, because of the 'Affordable Plumbing Act,' a lot of
wealthier people are learning how to maintain and take care of their own
plumbing, so there are fewer payers in the plumbing exchanges.  As a result,
the price I have to charge wealthy people like you keeps rising.  Not only
that, but for some reason the demand for plumbing work by those who get it
for free has skyrocketed!  There's a long waiting list of those who need
repairs, but the amount we get doesn't cover our costs, especially paperwork
and record-keeping.  This unfortunately has put a lot of my fellow plumbers
out of business, they're not being replaced, and nobody is going into the
plumbing business because they know they can't make any money at it.  I'm
hurting too, all thanks to greedy rich people like you who won't pay their
'fair share'.  On the other hand, why didn't you buy plumbing insurance last
December?  If you had bought plumbing insurance available under the
'Affordable Plumbing Act,' all this would have been covered by your policy."

"You mean I wouldn't have to pay anything to have you fix my plumbing
problem?" asks Obama.

"Well, not exactly," replied Troy. "You would have had to buy the insurance
before the deadline, which has passed now.  And, because you're rich, you
would have had to pay $34,000 in premiums, which would have given you a
'silver' plan, and then, since this would have been your first repair, you
would have to pay up to the $21,000 deductible, and anything over that would
have a $7,500 co-pay, and then there's the mandatory maintenance program,
which is covered up to 17.5%, so there are some costs involved.  Nothing is
for free."

"WHAT?!" exclaimed Obama.  "Why so much for a puny sink leak?!"

With a bland look, Troy replied, "Well, paperwork, mostly, like I said.  And
the internal cost of the program itself.  You don't think a program of this
complexity and scope can run itself, do you?  Besides, there are millions of
folks with lower incomes than you, even many in the 'middle class', who
qualify for subsidies that people like you must support.  That's why they
call it the 'Affordable Plumbing Act'!  Only people who don't make much
money can afford it.  If you want affordable plumbing, you'll have to give
away most of what you have accumulated and cut your and Michelle's income by about 90%.  Then you can qualify to GET your 'Fair Share' instead of GIVING it."

"But who would pass a crazy act like the 'Affordable Plumbing Act'?!"
exclaimed the exasperated Obama.

After a sigh, Troy replied, "Congress ... although they didn't read it."

This will help you understand Obamacare. And here you have it, the
'Affordable Plumbing Act of 2014'.  What a marvelous explanation this is,
although somebody spent an awful lot of time thinking this one up.



Civil War? Is it Slavery Again? SamKat aka Sam Kegley


Civil War?
Is it slavery Again?

The word asinine hangs on this conservative Christian’s mind.  You know the side I choose. 

During the 1860-1865 period, the USA was divided, supposedly by the slavery issue.  Today we appear to be a nation divided about 50% on the Left, socialist side, vs the right, conservative, side for our country.

The democrats supposedly were the champions of the working poor in the past. No more! They truly are no longer that party.  President Trump is shaping the old line republican party into Conservatives for the entire working population whereas they were thought be primarily for the rich Americans. 

Our long time ‘sacrificial representatives’, both democrat and republican, claimed  to be representing ‘we the people’ but they truly have not been doing their sworn duty.  They have served themselves much more than having served us.

So many Americans on both sides fought and died in the former Civil War, which divided families as well. Relatives shot and killed or maimed relatives, sometimes aware and sometimes unaware.  Just going against the enemy per their military duty- whichever side.

Again, I offer fervent prayers to our Creator that common sense will prevail and we do not come to a shooting war. 

I personally hope for the coming back to earth of Jesus Christ, the savior of all this world’s Christians.  My wife, Jeanie  and I hope to be with all of you in Heaven.  Jesus promised for it to be so much better.
