SamKat: 2015

Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

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.

My eighty-three years ... SamKat aka Sam Kegley

My eighty-three Years ... SamKat aka Sam Kegley I am a lucky guy. My Nisei friend, Sgt. Noboru Yamamoto, probably six years older, and a single guy, would come into my room in our Tokyo barracks, quite inebriated, crawl all over my covered sleeping body, look at my wife, Jeanie's, picture by my bunk, and exclaim "How you get so lucky, boy? Such a good looking woman!" I have tried to locate my Nisei friend unsuccessfully, throughout my computer days of the last twenty years. Best I can tell, he passed on while residing in California. The world has so much evil causing so much fear among the luckiest citizens in the world, citizens of the United States of America. Our country has been so blessed because our mostly Christian leaders have built a nation of laws, with the finest constitution ever designed and guardedly revised by its' citizen representatives. We have ceased to have a lot of representation by many elected officials who have put their own interests above these citizens. The USA is not the only blessed nation, but I believe it is the most blessed. God bless the mercenary US service people who have sacrificed their lives and their wounded bodies in valiant attempts to keep pour free countries free during the last decades. Our draftee and volunteer service people also fought for these freedoms through world wars and other battles. Selfish politicians have bargained a lot away and have ignored the constitutional rights we have enjoyed through our 239 years of constitutional protections. They would change more towards socialized government even in America. We saw such dictatorships and com,munis socialists fail in the twentieth centuries. Our your are too young and our schools and media are also took young with too few to remember the atrocities to a not-free proletariat. I really don't take as gospel in my over-simplified reverie-thoughts that Life is like a pin ball machine, i.e., God pulled back on the lever and let it go and our individual ball (life) was projected upwards through the one way valve and into the world. We may have come through a couple in Africa, China, North America, South America, Australia, Eastern or Western Europe, Middle East, or anywhere in the world. The way that pin ball table was designed on our tilted board, and the bumpers on it and the skill of those politicians bouncing our ball off of each bumper, as well as our own efforts determine how we may go through our life, descending towards our eventual death to life on earth, determines when we die. Often each one's parents and siblings help us extend our lives along with our own determination and skills in pin ball operation. How great the plan of our Creator to, when convinced the world was so nearly full of evil, He would insert His love into the great equation, and send a savior two thousand years ago who would be born so poor, work as a laboring craftsperson for thirty years, and then suffer cruel crucifixion and death at the hands of the world's politicians of the time; then die as a sacrifice for the sins of all of us humans. I also believe in His miracles and his wisdom of love's preachings. The plan was that those who believed that wonderful story would not die but have everlasting life. I am a lucky guy. Free citizens everywhere are lucky guys and gals! Happy 2016! Thanks to our great Creator who remains in control and in love with all of His creation.

My thoughts as we enter 2016 ... SamKat

SamKat aka Sam Kegley My thoughts as we enter 2016 12/31/2015 Looking back on my eighty-three years on this spheroid, I see too much evil in this world and I am sure that God is not missing that point. My wife, Jeanie, and I lived through more than two-thirds of the twentieth century and we enjoyed so much freedom brought to the United States of America by our service people and many dedicated Christian representatives who bought our freedoms and God’s wonderful blessings. We are a nation of laws with a well-written and guardedly revised Constitution to guide us. Many Christian representatives established this nation and established those thought-out plans that have brought the USA God’s rich blessings. My half-brother, Ted Dunham saw a lot of battle in Europe in WW II and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with an added Oak Leaf Cluster for going out to bring back injured soldiers during repeated enemy fire near Surrendfurt, Germany in April 1945. Many of that war and a few skirmishes that followed were draftees as I was, and volunteers during the Korean War as some draftees were during the Viet Nam War. My seventeen months overseas were spent in Tokyo behind a desk for battalion Supply and without any battle assignments. I was committed unto death then as an active service person and my wife and family back home realized that. Our follow-up wars have had volunteer American citizen-soldiers manning the battles without the draft. Many died or suffered debilitating injuries for the rest of their lives Our God’s patience has been tried by each of us sinners. There remains so much evil now that He may exercise His plan by Sending His Son, our savior, again to reclaim many deserving souls, take them back to Heaven and then He will return for a thousand year rule to clean up Satans’ barbarous actions. I would volunteer to stay and serve Christ if my Jeanie could go to Heaven on Christ’s return. Each of our parents have died before us. I would that each of my remaining family and friends could go at the appointed time with Christ. By the parable of the fig tree which Christ spoke of in the book of Matthew, none of us know when the end time will be. These are particularly difficult times and war has already been declared against our country by Islamic terrorists with senseless acts of atrocity versus innocent people on all parts of this world. However, God remains in Control of the Universe and that is our wonderful assurance. Happy 2016!

Krauthammer on the Clintons ... Thx Sarah R!

Charles Krauthammer on Hillary Clinton Recently, Charles Krauthammer alluded that he had no doubt some of the 30k emails Hillary deleted from her private e-mail server very likely had references to the Clinton Foundation, which would be illegal and a conflict of interest. . The Clinton Foundation is "organized crime" at its finest Here is a good, concise summary of how the Clinton Foundation works as a tax free international money laundering scheme. It may eventually prove to be the largest political criminal enterprise in U.S. history. This is a textbook case on how you hide foreign money sent to you and repackage it to be used for your own purposes. All tax free. Here's how it works: . 1. You create a separate foreign "charity." In this case, the Clinton's set it up in Canada. . 2. Foreign oligarchs and governments, then donate to this Canadian charity. In this case, over 1,000 did -- contributing mega millions. I'm sure they did this out of the goodness of their hearts, and expected nothing in return. (Imagine Putin's buddies waking up one morning and just deciding to send untold millions to a Canadian charity). . 3. The Canadian charity then bundles these separate donations and makes a massive donation to the Clinton Foundation. . 4. The Clinton Foundation and the cooperating Canadian charity claim Canadian law prohibits the identification of individual donors. . 5. The Clinton Foundation then "spends" some of this money for legitimate good works programs. Unfortunately, experts believe this is on the order of 10%. Much of the balance goes to enrich the Clinton's, pay salaries to untold numbers of hangers on, and fund lavish travel, etc. Again, virtually all tax free, which means you and I are subsidizing it. . 6. The Clinton Foundation, with access to the world's best accountants, somehow fails to report much of this on their tax filings. They discover these "clerical errors" and begin the process of re-filing 5 years of tax returns. 7. Net result -- foreign money goes into the Clinton's pockets tax free and untraceable back to the original donor. This is the textbook definition of money laundering. . Oh, by the way, the Canadian "charity" includes as a principal one Frank Giustra. Google him. He is the guy who was central to the formation of Uranium One, the Canadian company that somehow acquired massive U.S. uranium interests and then sold them to an organization controlled by Russia. This transaction required U.S. State Department approval, and guess who was Secretary of State when the approval was granted. . As an aside, imagine how former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell feels. That poor schlep is in jail because he and his wife took $165,000 in gifts and loans for doing minor favors for a guy promoting a vitamin company. Not legal but not exactly putting U.S. security at risk. . Sarcasm aside, if you're still not persuaded this was a cleverly structured way to get unidentified foreign money to the Clinton's, ask yourself this: . Why did these foreign interests funnel money through a Canadian charity? Why not donate directly to the Clinton Foundation? Better yet, why not donate money directly to the people, organizations and countries in need? . This is the essence of money laundering and influence peddling. . Now you know why Hillary's destruction of 30,000 e-mails was a risk she was willing to take. . Bill and Hillary are devious, unprincipled, dishonest and criminal , and they are Slick! Warning: They could be back in the White House in January 2017. . Don't let it happen. Remember, most people are not well informed. You must inform and educate them.

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."----- Henry Ford

The Donald Trump by Bill Bennett ... Thx Marge R!

I PERSONALLY HOPE THIS DOESN'T COME TO PASS....I'D LOVE TO SEE THE DONALD CLEAN UP THE

WASHINGTON CESSPOOL AND GIVE THE SCUMBAGS WHAT THEY DESERVE !!

Something here so interesting I had read it twice to believe how our government is treating this country and the people in it!!!! How is this turmoil stopped. If not this Donald, will another come along before were all gone.

Interesting take on Donald Trump

Former U. S. Secretary of Education , William J. Bennett's frankly candid and shocking observations of Donald Trump'simpact on the behavior of the entrenched Washington D. C. bureaucrats in both parties -- and the risk The Donald faces in so doing.

William J. Bennett, Host of Bill Bennett'sMorning in America Show, is one of America 's most important, influential, and respected voices on cultural, political, and education issues. He has one of the strongest Christian world views of any writer in modern times.

What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency

By Bill Bennett

They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.

Don't be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.

It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one.

It's a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We're the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart. It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won't change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations - like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone's help. That means he doesn't care what the media says. He doesn't care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don't you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama's clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything. Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth , why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you're a good old boy, you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn't play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question! I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump'selection would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over. The jig is up. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi . The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.

Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That's why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can't silence him. And they sure can't intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth.

Valentine for ISIS! ... Thx Ron & Donna W!

JUST LOVE THIS STORY. . . . . . . . . .

"Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks, "Will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?
Thelma's father thinks a bit then says "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?"
"The whole ISIS group," she says.
"Why them," her father asks in shock?
"Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could have enough love to give them a valentine,
they might start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit.
And if other kids saw what I did and then they sent valentines to them, they'd love everyone a lot.
And then they'd start going all over the place telling everyone how much they loved them and how they didn't hate anyone anymore."

Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with new found pride.
"Thelma, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard. "

"I know," Thelma says, "and once that gets them out in the open, the Marines could blow the shit out of them."
