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.

Genocide of Christians in the Middle East and also coming to all Christians in this world if islamic terrorists have their way.

Christian Conservatives have no stronger voice in this world than Fox News and their reporters, here in America.  Judge Jeanie had an excellent program last night on Fox :" Christians under Attack".  She toughly reported the genocide of Christians in the Middle East and the coming genocide in America and to the entire world.  The investigation she reports attributes this to the war by islamic terrorists of the Muslim religion.  Many deny that we should say that terrorists are part of that religious sect, yet it speaks so loudly that only the entirely deaf or mindless can ignore. Sadly Christian Churches all over the world, except those Christians in the middle east are acting like the ostrich with their heads in the sand. We must realize it is happening and pray  and know that our God, Who remains in control of this world, will have His way.  We can't see the way The almighty will control, but still must recognize His ultimate control!

German citizens only acquiesced in letting Hitler take power as happens so often in dictatorships.  It is close to happening in our country.  The wiping out of entire groups looked successful for the Ottoman Empire for a few centuries until it failed, but here it is again in carrying out their plight to wipe out all unbelievers of the Muslim religion.  ... SamKat - a Christian in America.  Note this quote regarding the Russian resistance by Afghanistans patriots who refused to acquiesce.

M. Hassan Kakar, Afghanistan: The Soviet Invasion and the Afghan Response, 1979–1982, University of California Press, 1995.

"Rather than enumerate definitions of genocide, I will describe the empirically based categories about which students of genocide are close to consensus. These are retributive genocide, which is based on the desire for revenge; institutional genocide, which is frequently incidental to military conquest; utilitarian genocide, which is motivated by the desire for material gain; monopolistic genocide, which originates in the desire to monopolize power; and ideological genocide, which is motivated by the desire to impose a particular notion of salvation or purification on an entire society.[7] Chalk and Jonassohn have combined these categories into a master definition: “Genocide is a form of one-sided mass killing in which a state or other authority intends to destroy a group, as that group and membership in it are defined by the perpetrator.”[8]
For genocide to happen, there must be certain preconditions. Foremost among them is a national culture that does not place a high value on human life. A totalitarian society, with its assumed superior ideology, is also a precondition for genocidal acts.[9] In addition, members of the dominant society must perceive their potential victims as less than fully human: as “pagans,” “savages,” “uncouth barbarians,” “unbelievers,” “effete degenerates,” “ritual outlaws,” “racial inferiors,” “class antagonists,” “counterrevolutionaries,” and so on.[10] In themselves, these conditions are not enough for the perpetrators to commit genocide. To do that—that is, to commit genocide—the perpetrators need a strong, centralized authority and bureaucratic organization as well as pathological individuals and criminals. Also required is a campaign of vilification and dehumanization of the victims by the perpetrators, who are usually new states or new regimes attempting to impose conformity to a new ideology and its model of society.[11]"

Ulis' work of heart boosts Kentucky past Louisville

jtipton@herald-leader.comDecember 27, 2014 Updated 9 hours ago
  • NEXT GAME
    Mississippi at No. 1 Kentucky
    When: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6
    TV: SEC Network
LOUISVILLE — Muscle, grit and willpower were the only valuable currencies in the Kentucky-Louisville game Saturday. The smallest player on the court looked like the wealthiest man.
Tyler Ulis, a 5-foot-9 freshman whose David-and-Goliath exploits long ago captured the hearts of Kentucky fans, delivered a big-time performance as Kentucky won 58-50.
UK Coach John Calipari had said his high-rolling team needed a punch in the face, figuratively speaking. Well, Ulis took an elbow late in the first half that opened a cut over his right eye and required three stitches to close. He kept on keeping on.
Those in search of a metaphor needed to look no further.
"You've got to leave it all on the floor," teammate Karl-Anthony Towns said. "Tyler Ulis always does that. When you have a person like that, it motivates all of us."
Ulis scored a career-high 14 points, all of which loomed large in a game that had as many fouls as baskets (36). The second of his back-to-back pull-up jumpers gave Kentucky its first double-digit lead with 6:17 left.
Maybe more importantly, Ulis gave UK steady point guard play (no turnovers in 26 minutes) in a charged KFC Yum Center atmosphere and against an inspired archrival well-equipped to disrupt Kentucky's offense.
That Ulis played well was no coincidence, the player's father said. "If it's a big game, he's coming to play. That's his M.O.," James Ulis said.
Certainly, Ulis' play was well-timed given how starting point guard Andrew Harrison struggled. Harrison committed six turnovers, which equaled a career high.
Calipari saluted Ulis. "That's the best I've seen him play since I've coached him," he said.
But without the prompting of a question, Calipari seemed to anticipate a Ulis-versus-Harrison debate and tried to kill it immediately.
"This will start the other dialogue," said Calipari, who noted a three-pointer Harrison made. "That basically ended the game," he said.
Harrison's three, his only basket in six shots, put UK ahead 50-38 with 4:44 left.
"Andrew took us to the championship game last year," Calipari reminded reporters. "Andrew did. So what I have is two terrific point guards who I can play together, if I choose."
Thanks, in large part, to Ulis, Kentucky (13-0) found the resolve, heretofore not needed, to win. It was the first time this season UK had not won by a double-digit margin.
Louisville lost for the first time and slipped to 11-1. The Cards avoided the lowest-point total of Rick Pitino's time as coach (45 in a victory over Cleveland State on Nov. 26). The 50 points equaled the sixth-lowest total for a Pitino team at U of L.
The lowest-scoring first half for either team featured plenty of defense, hustle and intensity.
UK led 22-18 at intermission. The score was in stark contrast to what the teams were used to this season. Kentucky had averaged 37.8 points in first halves; Louisville, 37.7.
Louisville made only six of 28 first-half shots, and made only two shots in the final 11:06.
If one play typified a defense-oriented half, it came inside the final two minutes. Louisville's Mangok Mathiang, a 6-10 sophomore, found himself at the basket, but practically surrounded by defenders.
A pump-fake caused two UK defenders to jump and, thus, take themselves out of the play. But as Mathiang rose for a seemingly unmolested shot, Marcus Lee arrived and blocked the shot.
With Ulis scoring 12 of his points in the second half, Kentucky kept its lead.
Pitino noted the wearing effect of Kentucky's size, then added that "because they have so many 'bigs,' you don't notice (Ulis). He's a true point guard who makes people better. I've loved him from the moment I started watching him. He's a great point guard. That's a program you can build around a great point guard."
Calipari lauded Ulis, too. When asked what drew him to the guard in the recruiting process, the UK coach said, "His competitiveness. He can make a difference in a game even at his size, and that's what you want.
"And he wasn't afraid of a challenge. I didn't have to beg him. I recruited him for (only) three weeks."
That fearlessness and competitiveness was on display in the Yum Center for all to see.
Towns said Ulis "played amazing."
"That's one of the things against a team like this — you need to make sure everything is under control. He kept the game under control.
"He was just pretty, pretty, pretty good today. Pretty good."
