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.

Be prepared for never-before-heard stories including the night of the Benghazi attack.

According to Klein, Hillary knew the story wouldn't hold up despite Obama's desperate attempts to maintain terrorism didn't occur during his administration. In fact, Hillary was so concerned it would hurt her political future she considered resigning as Secretary of State. One section explores how their feud is so bad - Obama is considering not endorsing Hillary for President in 2016.

Old Rusty Bucket ... Thx Marge R!

THE OLD DENTED BUCKET ~~~~ IT MADE MY DAY
         Subject: THE OLD DENTED BUCKET
 
Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. We lived downstairs and rented the
upstairs rooms to out-patients at the clinic.

One summer evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the
door. I opened it to see a truly awful looking man. "Why, he's hardly
taller than my 8-year-old," I thought as I stared at the stooped,
shriveled body. But the appalling thing was his face, lopsided from
swelling, red and raw.

Yet his voice was pleasant as he said, "Good evening. I've come to see
if you've a room for just one night. I came for a treatment this morning
from the eastern shore, and there's no bus 'til morning."

He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success,
no one seemed to have a room. "I guess it's my face .... I know it looks
terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments .."

For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: "I could
sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the
morning."

I told him we would find him a bed, but to rest on the porch.. I went
inside and finished getting supper. When we were ready, I asked the old
man if he would join us. "No, thank you. I have plenty." And he held up
a brown paper bag.

When I had finished the dishes, I went out on the porch to talk with him
a few minutes. It didn't take a long time to see that this old man had
an oversized heart crowded into that tiny body. He told me he fished for
a living to support his daughter, her 5 children, and her husband, who
was hopelessly crippled from a back injury.

He didn't tell it by way of complaint; in fact, every other sentence was
preface with a thanks to God for a blessing. He was grateful that no
pain accompanied his disease, which was apparently a form of skin
cancer. He thanked God for giving him the strength to keep going...
At bedtime, we put a camp cot in the children's room for him. When I got
up in the morning, the bed linens were neatly folded and the little man
was out on the porch.

He refused breakfast, but just before he left for his bus, haltingly, as
if asking a great favor, he said, "Could I please come back and stay the
next time I have a treatment? I won't put you out a bit. I can sleep
fine in a chair." He paused a moment and then added, "Your children made
me feel at home. Grownups are bothered by my face, but children don't
seem to mind."

I told him he was welcome to come again.

And, on his next trip, he arrived a little after 7 in the morning. As a
gift, he brought a big fish and a quart of the largest oysters I had
ever seen! He said he had shucked them that morning before he left so
that they'd be nice and fresh. I knew his bus left at 4:00 a.m. And I
wondered what time he had to get up in order to do this for us.

In the years he came to stay overnight with us, there was never a time
that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden.
Other times we received packages in the mail, always by special
delivery; fish and oysters packed in a box of fresh young spinach or
kale, every leaf carefully washed. Knowing that he must walk 3 miles to
mail these, and knowing how little money he had made the gifts doubly
precious.

When I received these little remembrances, I often thought of a comment
our next-door neighbor made after he left that first morning.
"Did you keep that awful looking man last night? I turned him away! You
can lose roomers by putting up such people!"

Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice. But, oh!, if only they could
have known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear.
I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we
learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good
with gratitude to God.
 
Recently while visiting a friend, who has a greenhouse, as she showed me
her flowers, we came to the most beautiful one of all, a golden
chrysanthemum, bursting with blooms. But to my great surprise, it was
growing in an old dented, rusty bucket. I thought to myself,
 
"If this were my plant, I'd put it in the loveliest container I had!"
 
My friend changed my mind. "I ran short of flower pots," she explained, "and
knowing how beautiful this one would be, I thought it wouldn't mind
starting out in this old pail. It's just for a little while, till I can
put it out in the garden."

She must have wondered why I laughed so delightedly, but I was imagining
just such a scene in heaven.

"Here's an especially beautiful one," God might have said when he came
to the soul of the sweet old fisherman. "He won't mind starting in this
small body."

All this happened long ago - and now, in God's garden, how tall this
lovely soul must stand.

The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the
outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7b)
Friends are very special. They make you smile and encourage you to
succeed. They lend an ear and they share a word of praise.
 
Show your friends how much you care.
 
Pass this on, and brighten someone's day.
 
The only thing that will happen if you DO pass it on is that
someone might smile (because of you).
 
From an old rusty bucket - Have a wonderful day!!!!.

The Columbus Dispatch Editorial opinions I reccommend- SamKat


Looking to cash in

Thursday, June 26, 2014 05:52 AM
State lawmakers were the top cash-prize winners in Ohio’s protracted fight to ban Internet sweepstakes cafés and the illegal gambling and crime they inflicted upon communities. In all, legislative campaign coffers netted more than $1 million from café supporters and opponents and their lobbyists as various moratoriums, regulations and bans for the cafes were debated between 2011 and 2013.

Hopewell relics a world treasure

Thursday, June 26, 2014 05:51 AM
Ohio has a world-class historical treasure in the constellation of ancient earthworks that dot the Scioto River valley, and a recent discovery could elevate their profile further. In the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park near Chillicothe, archaeologists are taking a closer look at what they believe may have been a “woodhenge” — a circle formed by wooden posts in the ground.

Jay Ambrose commentary: Climate-change scientist using court to silence skeptic

Libel — a falsity that smears a reputation — can be dreadful, and you ought to be able to sue and maybe win money if untrue, harmful things are being publicized about you. But watch out in public debates, because, if people are then allowed to sue too easily, they can squeeze needed discussion to puniness, as the Supreme Court recognized in a case against The New York Times half a century ago.

Victor Davis Hanson commentary: Iraq war did have positive outcomes

So who lost Iraq? The blame game mostly fingers incompetent Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Or is Barack Obama culpable for pulling out all American troops monitoring the success of the 2007-08 surge?

David Kaelin's Middle East comments - SamKat - Long to read it all but worthwhile to anyone wanting to know.

http://hereticdhammasangha.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/2.jpg

My good and very intellectual common man David Kaelin has a recent book, whoich deserves best seller status for anybody who wants to know more realistic information about the Middle East: No Regrets".  He has spent over a decade there and taught Afghanistan police and military (even Colonels and Generals) logistic courses.  They came to know the Kaelin honesty and generally admired this American.

Marine's nutshell comments on our previously great and God blessed country ... Thx good friend, Nita E!


Marine says it all in a "nutshell."



A good friend of mine who I worked with was in the Marines.  He sent this to me.  Kind of says it all.

Here  is some food for through. Our country needs help.

Traitorous leadership in America! SamKat

Pussyfooting Americans while Christians are being killed by islamic terrorists all over this world.  Shameful!  We don't need this underqualified supposed Commander in Chief who has even our military leaders under his fist.  The military should be making the decisions he is incapable of.  We are a Christian nation which should remain tolerant of all religions but not of the terrorists.  obama won't even say "terrorists".

Do anything but pussyfooting to get America moving in the right direction again!  We became the only super power and did not abuse the power.  obama has taken us down to the satisfaction of all who oppose us!  He has us exactly where they enjoy having us.  Weak and powerless.  Traitorous supposed leadership!

Wake up Americans!  Secular progressives and Conservatives!  Just be Americans again!

This world needs true leadership!

Ever wonder sometimes why there are  delays at airports.

Ever  wonder that sometimes there are NO delays.

Do  you always know exactly what is going on?





Read entire story, we  should be very, very
concerned about this!
And to think that Fox  News was the only channel that reported this. They may be "politically  incorrect", but at least they had the courage to report
it.



In  my opinion, the Muslims are all getting very brave now. Read Tedd Petruna's  story below. Can you imagine, our own news media now are so politically  correct that they are afraid to report that these were all  Muslims?



Unbelievable. Thank  God for people like Tedd Petruna.



Tedd Petruna is a  diver at the NBL (Neutral Buoyancy Lab) facility at NASA Houston .. Tedd  happened to be on the AirTran Flight 297, from Atlanta to Houston . Here's his  report :



“One week ago, I went  to Ohio on business and to
see my father. On  Tuesday, the 17th, I returned home. If you read the
papers  the 18th you may have seen a blurb about where an Air Tran flight
was  canceled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off
of  his cell phone before take- off.. The story was only on Fox News. That
was  NOT what really happened.




I  was seated in 1st class coming home. Eleven Muslim men got on the plane in  full Muslim attire. Two of them sat in 1st class and the rest seated  themselves throughout the plane, in coach class, all the way to the back. As  the plane taxied out to the runway, the stewardesses gave the safety spiel  that we are all so familiar with.



At  that time, one of the men in 1st class, got on his cell and called one of his  companions back in coach. He proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very  loudly and very, very aggressively. This activity took the 1st stewardess out  of action for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted  at that time. He ignored her as if she were not there. The man, who answered  the phone back in the coach section, did the same and this took out the 2nd  stewardess. Further back in the plane, at the same time, two younger Muslims,  one in the back on the aisle, and one sitting in front of him by the window,  began to show footage of a porno video they had taped the night before. They  were very loud about it.



The 3rd stewardess  informed the two men that they were not to have any electronic devices on at  this time. One of the men said "shut up infidel dog!"



The stewardess  attempted to take the camcorder and the Muslim began to scream in her face in  Arabic. At that exact moment, all eleven of the men got up and started to walk  throughout the cabin. I guess that because of the noise, the flight crew must  have decided that there was something amiss and changed the plane's directions  to head back to the terminal.



The commotion and  noise was reaching a feverish pitch, and at this point I had had enough! I got  up and started towards the back of 1st class when I heard a voice behind me  from another Texan twice my size, say, "I got your back." Then I grabbed the  man, who had been on the cell phone, by the arm and said, "You WILL sit down  in your seat or you WILL be thrown from this plane!" As I "led" him around me  to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his  waist and headed him back to his seat. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said,  "You WILL do the same!"



He  protested loudly, but my adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go  also. Just as I escorted him forward, the plane stopped, the doors opened and  three TSA agents and four police officers entered the cabin. Myself and my new  Texas friend were told to cease and desist for they had the situation under  control.



I  was quite happy to oblige, actually. There was still some sort of commotion in  the back, but within moments, all eleven Muslim men were escorted off the  plane. The TSA agents then had their luggage unloaded. We talked about the  occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happened.



Then suddenly, the  door opened again and in walked all eleven Muslim men! Stone faced, eyes front  and robotic, (the only way I can describe it) and they were reseated. The  stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw the men, she was  having NONE of it! Since I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She  told the TSA agents that there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with  the Muslim men. The agent told her that they had searched the men and were  going through their luggage with a fine tooth comb. However, nothing had been  found and that the men were allowed to proceed on to  Houston.



The captain and  co-captain came out of the cockpit and told the agent, "We and our crew will  not fly this plane!" After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow,  left the plane. Five minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole  new crew walked on. Again, this was where I had had enough! I got up and asked  the TSA agent,” What the hell is going on?



I  was told to take my seat. The airlines and TSA were sorry for the delay and we  would be home shortly. I said, "I'm getting off this plane". The stewardess  sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. Now I'm really mad! I  said, "I am a grown man who bought this ticket, whose time is mine, with a  family at home, and I am going through that door, or I'm going through that  door with you under my arm, but I AM going through that  door!"



And then I heard a  voice behind me say, "So am I!" Then everyone behind us started to get up and  say the same thing. Within two minutes, I was walking off that plane where I  was met by more TSA agents, who asked me to write a statement about the  incident. I had five hours to kill at this point waiting for the next flight  to Houston , so why the hell not give them my statement. Due to the amount of  people who got off that flight, it was canceled. I was supposed to be in  Houston at 6 PM, but I finally got there  at 12:30 AM. If you don't believe this,  look up the date and then Flight 297 from Atlanta to  Houston.



If  this wasn't a terrorism dry run, I don't know what is. The terrorists wanted  to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the  passengers would handle it. I'm telling this to you because I want you to  know. The threat IS real. I saw it with my own eyes."



Tedd  Petruna



May I request that  you keep this going until this incident reaches the email of all POLITICIANS  and the news media!
