How to understand racism

 A young black comes home from school and asks his mother, "Mama, what is Socialism and what is Racism?”

"Well, Child..... Socialism is when the white folks work every day so we can get all our governmental entitlement stuff for free.

You know.....like our free cell phones for each family member, rent subsidy, food stamps, EBT, WIC, free school breakfast, lunch, and in some places supper; free healthcare, utility subsidy, and on and on.....you know, that’s Socialism.”

"But, mama, don't the white people get upset about that?”

"Sure they do, Honey. That's called Racism.”

This is an inside look at how people in my industry (horticulture) see the world, politics and such

Why should a White Boy from the Lily White Suburbs Give a Rats Behind What Happens to Blacks or the Inner City??

I have been vocal and concerned about all things racial, political, injustice, cultural and everything that has to do with the Black Community.  True Confession.  I am European American.  Lily white.  YET.. I know with all my heart that this cannot continue.  To quote a man who lost a cousin a few days ago.. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I won't list all the problems the black community has.  You know what they are.  MOST are not caused by white folks despite what the race baiters try to tell you. I'll let Donald Trump tell you so you can be mad at him.

Here's why it matters to ME, PERSONALLY. Why I want to see it stop.  Why I fight for solutions:

• This is a drag on our economic future to keep this separation going
• There are talented and capable men and women who never get a chance to contribute to curing cancer, aids, or tooth decay. The solutions are out there.
• There is a cultural decline directly connected to the decline in the culture of the black community.  50 years ago a child out of wedlock was considered a tragedy.  Now.. it's the norm.
• The violence we see in all of our culture is rooted in lawlessness and enough is enough
• The willingness to accept corruption at a high level is polluting our society. 
• The level of trust inside the culture and the community is very low. 
• The destruction and decay of neighborhoods drive taxes up for everyone and puts a burden on everyone
• The police state tactics required to keep even a moderate level of safety impacts my civil rights too
• The decline of the family has spread into the wider culture and now household formation is the lowest it has been in a half century.
• The constant drain on resources to keep the illusion we are "Helping" is making life difficult for us all.
• The lack of competent schools teaching black kids is dumbing down the whole education system and that's bad for my kids and grand kids and great grand kids.

The list can go on and on.  You can provide your own additions.  It is in my best self interest to enter into and try to discover ways to help the black community get out of the hole.   My solutions are not going to be easily adapted.  The truth is to transform this community into a functional productive part of the national footprint will not take MONEY, it will take commitment.  It starts with schools, homes, churches, television, movies, music, government and NGO leaders that can represent the best interests of the people who need to see a way up and a way out.

I am sick of otherwise good people destroyed by a system and a culture that is designed to pull them back down into the cesspool when they try to get out.   It's really hard to get out.  You will be called all sorts of names. You have to be strong.  You have to be counter cultural.

Here's the reality.   Blaming others for what is a horrid situation is no solution.  Racism exists, that much is sure, but racism isn't the problem.  Lack of vision to escape the corrupt culture is.  This is true of barrio Hispanics, American Indians and poor white thrash as well.

It is in my best interest to try to find a higher vision, an better life, a way up and out.  Not to continue to fight a battle that isn't the real battle.  We have to get past the blame game and grasp what it means to us all if we don't solve the problems.  Government can't and won't solve it.  It's not in Government's interest to do so.  Government exists because cultural solutions do not.

Someday IF those of us who believe for better succeed we will see highly successful black business hiring people of all races.  We will see well run states and cities led by black people being operated at a high level of confidence and without corruption. We will see neighborhoods safe no matter where you go. There will be no "Bad Side of Town".  We will see neighbors of all shades living and working together ... in other words it will become like many towns and cities many live in today that are mostly populated by others ... safe, clean, productive, low tax, good services, ample opportunity, good roads, good schools, tax paying not tax taking and producing more and more of it's best citizens to carry on the next generation.   That should not be a white black red brown or yellow thing.  That should be human.

It is much like Robert Theobald said 40 years ago in a Speech I heard:  "Women will come into business and industry and they will succeed... and then one day we will say, they are just like a man".

I want some diversity, but not to adapt it as a national model.  We must be first and foremost Americans, USA... then whatever your heritage is a far distant second.

Our world depends on it.  We have bigger fish to fry.. let's get at it. 

FDA Causes High Drug Prices: Don’t Blame Capitalism for Your Pricey EpiPen

One doesn’t have to look far from today’s headlines to see this pattern. The latest controversy: the price of the EpiPen – Mylan’s famous medical auto-injector that delivers an immediate and measured dose of epinephrine – recently skyrocketed 400%, causing an uproar amongst 3.6 million people who depend upon the prescribed product. For those who live in fear of anaphylactic shock, the cost of living quite literally went up.
......
Unfortunately – and as no surprise to libertarians and free market advocates – federal regulators continue to buffer the padding that surrounds Mylan’s monopoly. Shortly after the Auvi-Q recall, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries pitched a generic version of the EpiPen. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) squashed their efforts, citing “major deficiencies” in their application. Teva plans to appeal the decision, but won’t be able to effectively move forward until 2017 at the earliest.

Teva isn’t alone in this struggle. Windgap Medical, a Boston startup, and Adamis, a small biotech firm based in San Diego, have both struggled to bypass FDA’s barriers of entry in the marketplace as well.

If you need further convincing that the FDA impedes the market, consider the following:

The average time it takes for a drug to go from the lab to the medicine cabinet is 12 years
Only 1 in 5,000 new drugs will make it through the FDA approval
Based on the regulatory burden of creating new medicine, the average price tag for research and development for a new compound is $2.6 billion

This brilliant response to Obama's 'don't discriminate' warning to Louisiana is pure American gold - Hot Air Hot Air

Dear Mr President,

I want to thank you for reminding us in South Louisiana not to
discriminate against anyone based on race or religion. Had you not
reminded us of this I don’t know what we would have done. See we rode
around in a boat saving people and well race or religion never entered
my mind. Not once. It didn’t enter my buddies mind or my wife’s. Just
saving people.

I understand you may be miss informed because of all the race baiting
that the media did a couple months ago here is South Louisiana. But I
assure you that’s not what we stand for in South Louisiana. We love each
other when the times get hard. We look out for our own. Now I know this
doesn’t fit your agenda. But facts are facts.

O and by the way stay up in DC play a little golf and enjoy your last
couple months in office. Make sure you clean out your desk. Clean out
the house you’ve occupied for 8 years cause your time is up. Let ya
buddy Ms Clinton know we don’t need her either. She needs her rest. Lord
knows she needs rest more then the residents of South Louisiana do. She
may could put some of that Clinton foundation blood money to good use
down here helping others. But why would she do that. She already knows
Louisiana doesn’t belong to her come November. If this was a state she
needed she would have been on the boat with me. But that’s OK we got
this we are strong here in Louisiana. Something you will never
understand.

Thanks

The true citizens of Louisiana

Chelsea Clinton Just Said The Dumbest Thing I’ve Ever Heard

I found this very interesting. What you do for a living drives your politics.. or vice versa

I enjoyed this so much I decided to post it here so I can find it

IT'S NOT TRUE

I heard a rumor that Mexico agreed to pay for the wall if it meant it would keep negroes out of Mexico.

NOT TRUE.

That would be very racist. 

VERY!!

Clinton Foundation's Going out of Business Sale

The Clintons have said that IF she becomes President they will stop taking donations for the foundation (AKA CLINTON CRIME FAMILY)

That raises two important questions:

If it's inappropriate for them to take contributions from around the world if she becomes president, why was it NOT inappropriate for he foundation to take contributions from around the world when she was secretary of state.

It is demonstrated that those who contributed got favors. SO, isn't the message being sent right now to corrupt governments around the world:

"Get your donations in NOW while the foundation is still accepting and after I become President I'll see to it you get your favor.   It will be too late after I am president.  Only 78 days and this sale ends.  Get your money in NOW."

People KNOW this is going on, went on when she was Secretary of State... where is any media on this?

OH Yeah, Donald Trump said something mean and Ryan Lochte lied.

The most racist thing all day

In response to the funding of Black Lives Matter to the tune of $100,000,000  by George Soros and the Ford Foundation (no connection to Ford Motor Company) there has been a great deal of Consternation. That it would lead to more violence.  That it legitimizes mob mentality. 

Then one of the most racist comments was made. I won't identify the writer.  It wasn't me.  He was trying to make his mostly white audience feel better.  I don't know if this helped.

"There is no other definition or conclusion to be made they are both funding terrorism ! But don't be alarmed they [the BLM] will just use the money to buy 40's and crack cocaine. Nothing to see here, move along !"

The Four Year Booty Call

Women know about these things. They find a guy. He pays them some attention. He gets in bed with them. They think this thing is real. THEN after a short romancy time he's gone. He never calls. He never writes. He's gone. Four years later he shows up and says, "Remember me Baby"?

He's calling in some booty. Worse it works. The prisoner of HOPE is trapped into doing what she knows has no future. There is a better romance in the wings, but she feels loyal. She thinks "this time it will be different". This time he will change, treat me better and my life will be better. BUT THEN.. after she faithfully answers the booty call.. he disappears until four years later.. and he calls again. And the cycle repeats. You ask, HOW could she be so stupid? What a sucker. She gets nothing out of this and he has a willing surrogate whenever he wants. READ ON:::

THAT booty call is exactly what the democrat party does to the black community every year.  They call on them to show up and once more do the dirty deed.  Inside most of them know this is going nowhere.  It hasn't for 50 years.  They only hear from them when they need them to faithfully prostitutute their best intrests and cast a vote for them.. only to be abandoned for the next 48 months. 

AND ANOTHER BOOTY CALL COMES four years later ... and once more, they answer.

You ask HOW could black folks be so gullible?  How could they fall for this game once more?  Why?  Part of it is loyalty.  Once they have answered a few times admitting they had been had is too painful.  SO they deny that it is wrong, that it has no future.  They reject anyone who points out what suckers they have been.  They resist admitting the obvious, he only wants you for your brief loyalty.. booty.

Even when an offer comes in from a better to break the cycle of bad booty calls.. they stubbornly stick to the cad.  After all their mom always answered, their sisters do, their grandma did?  Why would they want to break the mold?

Is it sick?  YES .. but there is a way out.  Say NO to the booty call.  Don't answer. Hang up the phone.
When you are sick and tired of being sick and tired of being suckered in again.. just STOP.  You are better than that.. you really are.  Wise up.. he only calls when he needs you. In this case it's a she.. 

Why College Students are Taught to be Ignorant

    Your child is not likely to be taught the eternal economic truth that there is no such thing as a free lunch; that neither university professors nor doctors and nurses are slaves who are forced to work for free so that there can be no such thing as “free” higher education or healthcare. Someone has to pay for it, and that someone will be them.

    They will likely graduate without ever hearing that socialism has destroyed the economy of every country where it has been adopted, including most recently oil-rich Venezuela, where middle-class people are literally rooting through garbage in the streets looking for food, barely fifteen years after its socialist “revolution” under the late communist Hugo Chavez. They will not learn that socialist governments in the twentieth century murdered more than 100 million of their own people for dissenting or being suspected of dissenting to the imposition of socialism and the confiscation of their property, farms, and businesses by government thugs.

    The Black Book of Communism and Death by Government, two scholarly, university press books that horrifyingly document all of this, will not be on any reading list. Yet their socialist professors with Che Guevara or Mao posters hanging on their office walls will always take the moral high road while advocating in their classrooms the ideology that was the cause of the worst crimes in human history. (When Yours Truly adopted The Communist Manifesto in a class on “Capitalism and its Critics” one student complained that it was the fourth time he was required to read the book, but the other three professors treated it as a roadmap for a future America, not a poisonous historical relic).

    Your student will not learn that Sweden was a very prosperous country in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-centuries because it was a limited government, low-tax society that spawned many great inventors and entrepreneurs (Alfred Nobel, Volvo, and Saab, Swiss watches), but that that prosperity was stopped in its tracks when Sweden adopted “democratic socialism” in mid-century. As a result, Sweden ate up (with taxes) the wealth created by previous generations, so much so that not a single net new job was created there from 1950 to 2005 according to the Swedish Economic Association. And when the Swedish central bank tried to bail out the floundering Swedish welfare state, it created 500% interest rates. (The same bank that pretentiously awards the Nobel Prize in Economic Science!).

    Your college student will be subjected to the old socialist propaganda tactic of accusing critics of socialism or socialistic policies of basing their opposition on hate, not logic or facts. A conservative or libertarian professor who discusses how welfare harms the work ethic and causes family break-ups will be accused of hating the poor. An economist who explains that a $15/hour minimum wage would cause massive unemployment among teenagers who are not yet capable of producing $15/hour for a business will be branded a capitalist tool and a paid propagandist. The same goes for the economist who criticizes price controls. Who could be against lower prices but a paid corporate propagandist?

    An economist may well be fired or denied tenure for pointing out the well-known fact that if one controls for marriage and choice of occupation, then there is no male/female “wage gap” caused by “discrimination” at all; in fact, many studies show that after such controls are made American women are paid slightly more than men.

    Good luck to any professor who, following the pioneering research of Nobel laureate economist Gary Becker, explains how competition in a capitalistic marketplace tends to diminish or eliminate wage discrimination based on race. The simple theory is that if an employer pays two equally productive employees differently, say paying the black employee half of what the white employee is paid, he creates a profit opportunity for his competitors, who will certainly take advantage of it. A man who can produce say $100,000/year for a business but who is paid only $30,000 because of discrimination could be offered double the salary by a competing employer who would then pocket the difference between $100,000 and $60,000. And another employer would offer him even more, and perhaps another. If there’s enough labor market competition the wage gap between black and white employees will eventually disappear.

    This very mainstream (in the economics profession, anyway) line of reasoning typically causes heads to explode in the PC world of academe, for one of its most cherished superstitions is that “the legacy of slavery” has forever left black people at an economic disadvantage, no matter how educated, skilled, talented, etc. they become. They still need to be “adopted” for life by the government and cared for like feeble little children.

Nemisis always follows Hubris

I know I am hard on the overconfident Trump Supporters who can't seem to come to grips with truth. YET.. I want to see Trump win, I can't stand to see Hillary Clinton become President. We have too much to lose .. like our nation. She is an instrument of destruction and death. What is required of you is to keep digging deep, if you are spiritual bind her and the demon that drives her. IF you are political find the truth, don't make it up and publish it abroad. That will be enough. Don't fall for every phony conspiracy post. Stay with the reality. That's terrifying enough. When you publish something easily debunked you hurt the cause. When Trump does something good like the trip to the flooded area.. make much of it. We have a HARD HARD road to get there... be help not hindrance.

A call to WAR

Please know my heart. I want to see Donald Trump win over Hillary Clinton with emphasis on the last. Yet I have a lifetime of experience that tells me how hard this is going to be. Here is part of my personal history that informs what I know and how hard this will be.

- have been a part of 3 church plants 2 of which failed. One of which morphed into something else. No matter how much we believed, no matter how much we tried.. it didn't come together. Faith isn't enough. Never before and in particular in this election, faith without works is dead.

- have formed from scratch 5 corporations in my life time. Two of which failed. Not bankrupt, just Kaput. 3 that became very successful and produced lucrative return. I know what it means to believe with all your heart that things are going to work out.. but without the right amount of vision there is no hope. That vision must be mixed with work as well. All the faith in the world won't substitute for hard work and a plan.

- married to the same woman for half a century. It didn't just happen, it took vision, perseverance and staying the course when it could have collapsed.

- now work in a business that requires me to work harder than I have worked in years. Even when I was CEO of two international corporations (not my own) I was aware of how close to disaster we were. All the happy talk in the world couldn't replace sticking to the knitting and focus on action not talk.

Now we are engaged in what in my view is the most important political campaign in my lifetime. Barack Obama was scary, Hillary Clinton is terrifying. Donald Trump is trying and he is a hard worker, but he needs to stay steady. More important his supporters and even those who are not enthusiastic about him must concentrate on getting him elected more important defeating Hillary Clinton. This takes money, time, talking to everyone you know, encouraging people to face reality. This is going to be VERY HARD. Happy talk words of prophecy confidence and fearlessness in thinking Trump is going to win by a landslide when everything I know says this is close, very very close.

As a business owner, CEO and entrepreneur I have to look at hard numbers on an operating statement, on a balance sheet and make hard decisions. That's what winners do. Find all the facts, face them and come up with a way to succeed in spite of the situation.

I will ask an arrogant question, what have you done in your life that amounts to enough to qualify you to make wild and empty claims that the numbers mean nothing. I don't want to discourage you. I need you to double down on your support for defeating Hillary Clinton at any cost. For saving the supreme court, for getting rid of corrupt government. There is no other choice than TRUMP.. everything and everyone else is fantasy. Look at the balance sheet and adjust your strategy. It's time.

What voting third party means or more important what NOT VOTING means

What REALLY Happened Culturally and Spiritually in Milwaukee WI over the weekend

A doctor who has cancer goes to a doctor who never had cancer but who knows what to do about it and does not have an emotional connection.

This is why the idea that "you aren't black or young or jobless" so you can't possibly understand doesn't really hold water with me.

I believe that the demonic manifestation we saw over the weekend in Milwaukee was somehow orchestrated to stand in contrast to the magnificent victory and nobility we see from our American Athletes at the Rio Olympics.  Particularly those who are black and carving out niches never before seen even in swimming.

So what explains clearly the spiritual and cultural events of the last couple nights.  I spent some time, not in study, in listening and here are observations that you can judge for yourself:

This is a classical outcome of the Passage from Proverbs 29:17-18

Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind
    and will make your heart glad.

¹⁸ When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.
    But whoever obeys the law is joyful.

You know it more as: 

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Those people rioting, burning, looting, beating others, stealing cars, burning down businesses and acting all the thug lack Vision.  More accurately they lack any capacity to see beyond the lies they believe. 

They have no plan, they have no expected outcome.  They find themselves in a place where they only have complaint.  They run wild.  They are a threat.  

They are trying to fill a God Shaped hole with something but what they are trying to use is not fit to fill it.  It's like those child toys where the triangle shape won't go in the round hole.  

Think about these young, mostly men.  16-28.  They live in a fantasy world.  They don't work.  Claim there are no jobs.. they are right, not for those for whom the education system failed and who come to the workforce with an attitude of entitlement.  They go to bed late, wake up, watch TV behind blinds pulled down, play video games (mostly very violent) with headphones on that blast "Music" into their brains creating a disconnect with reality of any kind.  They text, tweet and facebook to reinforce the fantasy world they live in.  The echo chamber of hatred for anything outside of their illusion just rings of reinforcement for the grand delusion.

These men have been indoctrinated with a hatred for something so nebulous that it cannot be clearly identified.  That somehow someone has all the money,  that life would be better IF, that there is a new order that can take over, that if somehow everything that represents the outside then all will be better.  Yet there is no if.  When anyone asks how it should be, there is no ability to define a concrete desired outcome.  No word picture that shows how it might work.

What makes it worse it the leaders or should I say Mis-Leaders who occupy visible seats of power and authority in politics, entertainment, education and the church.  These Mis-Leaders are reinforcing the fantasy under the guise of a Conversation, Program, Understanding and dialogue.

The first thing we must grasp is what we saw in Milwaukee had nothing to do with police shooting, nothing to do with racism, nothing to do with injustice.   What you saw was a demon.  Just like the KKK was a demonic manifestation.  Just like Nazi Germany was a demonic manifestation.  Just like ISIS and Radical Islam is a demonic Manifestation.  IF we have learned anything about dealing with demons, you don't have conversations, programs, understandings and dialogues.  You don't get into discussions with demons.  They are demons and simply need casting out.  

Of course you understand that if they are cast out, you can't leave the house swept clean or 7 worse will return.  Some of what we think is deliverance isn't.

That's why the whole talk about curing this with jobs and opportunity is a illusive diversion from reality.  That's trying to deal with a symptom and not the actual cause.   I won't point to parenting.  That cause is lost.  I won't point to education except to say that education doesn't do a thing for these boys/men.  

I do point to failed leadership from President Obama down to the local church.  Where are those who deal with the real issues?  

These young men are either moving towards a life of destruction or away from it.  It's easy to see what is driving them:

• The movies they watch ... towards or away from destruction
• The friends they hang out with ... towards or away from destruction
• The Music they listen to ... towards or away from destruction
• The games they watch ... towards or away from destruction
• The hours they keep (not out till 3) ... towards or away from destruction
• The Television they watch ... towards or away from destruction
• The Social media "Friends" they have ... towards or away from destruction
• The people who they consider "Wise" ... towards or away from destruction
• The You Tube Videos they watch ... towards or away from destruction

Parents will say, "It's too hard".. See Proverbs 28:17 again please

I live right next door to a youth prison.  I can see it out my window.  A local Church I attend sends teams of people in monthly to work with and tutor these young men.  Some of those arrested in Milwaukee will end up in such a place.  There these fantasy attitudes will be reinforced by peer pressure.  They leave unchanged and mostly worse off.  

A statistic from the prison that is tragic but true.  Of the young men released from there a third will be dead in 18 months or back in prison.  They have already demonstrated by their lives that they are influenced by the rabble at the speed of light.

In earlier times if you wanted to accumulate a crowd of torch and pitchfork carriers to go to Frankenstein house to kill the monster that took some doing. There weren't even phones, it had to be house to house.  If you wanted to get a guy out of the local jail with a mob to lynch him, the lie had to be told and then the rabble had to be riled up.  Even in Nazi Germany Hitler needed his Beer Halls.  In modern times the Imams who help radicalize young men to become part of ISIS or some offshoot only need facebook, You Tube and twitter to find and recruit them.  We live in the age of light speed mob incitement.

What we saw in Milwaukee was exactly that.  These men without any vision are running wild.  It only takes one false story, one false rumor, one lie and the rabble is enraged, takes to the street and begins to steal, kill and destroy.  That's how you know who the father of that lie is.

What I want to know is WHERE ARE THE SUPPOSED SPIRITUAL LEADERS?  We know where the local aldermen are.  They blame a lack of jobs.  Delusion.  Where is President Obama?  Why aren't we hearing some serious rebuke of the devil?  Denial of the reality of demonic activity reinforces it.

The result of all this is creating communities that now resemble scenes from "Escape From New York".  We already have this in parts of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit and other places where restraint has been removed.  If you think policing will continue in those places in Milwaukee as it did at one time where all this happened, you are part of the delusion.  Those businesses are gone and they won't be back.  How do you get enough insurance for the looting that we saw.  No one in their right mind will ever rebuild.  I was alive in 1968 when MLK was murdered.  I saw the pictures of Chicago in Flames.  Most of those burned out neighborhoods NEVER RECOVERED.  It's not racism, it's common sense.  IF you love your community, you will start telling them the truth.

I am trying to help those who are too close to the forest to see the trees, who identify, who might have at one time BEEN one of these young men.  It is too individual an experience for you to have even a shot at objectivity.  I want to help you remove your blinders.  

If there is a solution that can be presented that is concrete, I want to hear it.  Let's start at the core level and stop lying to our young men.  The lies Liberals, Race Pimps and YES the Democrats have told are getting people killed on the streets.  The lack of leadership from those who could have spoken truth to this demon and cast it out is destroying whole communities. We need to stop lying to people and perpetuating the fantasy:

BLM, the reparation people, the president, the Justice Department and the press are all lying to our black citizens about the source and nature of the dangers to their lives. They tell black people things that are the opposite of what a friend tells a friend. They say, "It's not your fault." They say, "There's nothing you can do until other people stop oppressing you." They say, "Things will get better for you when your superiors fix the world."

This is delusional.

A true friend to black Americans would say: "Your treatment as a race is as good as it is anywhere, and as good as it's gonna get. The past is past. It's on you to make your lives better now. Take responsibility. Join with good guys of whatever color to fight bad guys of whatever color. Then get on with making something of your lives. Because it's all on you. And anyone who tells you differently, is lying you to death."

Two last things.. JESUS:

Remember when Jesus came upon the Gadarene demoniac?  How he chided the people, "what are you doing, why are you discriminating against this man. You have him in chains.  What is that all about. Can't you find this man a Job?  I'm sure if he had a job he's be fine."  No?  That's because what he did was right and he gave him a mission.  Go and tell.

I know this offends many, some will fail in defense of the status quo or point to some activity or program they have.  They forget the words of JESUS in Luke 12:

 Jesus Causes Division

49 “I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning! 50 I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished. 51 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! 52 From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or two in favor and three against.

53
‘Father will be divided against son
    and son against father;
mother against daughter
    and daughter against mother;
and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law
    and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’

54 Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “When you see clouds beginning to form in the west, you say, ‘Here comes a shower.’ And you are right. 55 When the south wind blows, you say, ‘Today will be a scorcher.’ And it is. 56 You fools! You know how to interpret the weather signs of the earth and sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the present times.

57 “Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right? 58 When you are on the way to court with your accuser, try to settle the matter before you get there. Otherwise, your accuser may drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison. 59 And if that happens, you won’t be free again until you have paid the very last penny.”

 

The reality is, when truth (who Jesus is) is revealed it will cause division.  It will create anger, fire and the kind of things we see today.  We need a revelation of true RIGHTEOUSNESS.  The fullness of this important passage is never taught in it's fullness.  Instead from many pulpits the opposite is taught. You are owed.  You need to make the other guy pay. If we could just end racial discrimination, if we could stop white privilege, if we could have true equality, if we could end police violence, if if if if if if..   Stop believing in IF.  There is no IF.  That's NOT what true righteousness is.  People have to come to know that even when we are on our butt from abuse, there is a way up.

Psalm 37:
18 Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. 19 They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough. 20 But the wicked will die. The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field— they will disappear like smoke. 21 The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers. 22 Those the Lord blesses will possess the land, but those he curses will die. 23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. 24 Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. 25 Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread. 26 The godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing. 27 Turn from evil and do good, and you will live in the land forever. 28 For the Lord loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die. 29 The godly will possess the land and will live there forever. 30 The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong. 31 They have made God’s law their own, so they will never slip from his path. 32 The wicked wait in ambush for the godly, looking for an excuse to kill them. 33 But the Lord will not let the wicked succeed or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial. 34 Put your hope in the Lord. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed. 35 I have seen wicked and ruthless people flourishing like a tree in its native soil. 36 But when I looked again, they were gone! Though I searched for them, I could not find them! 37 Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace. 38 But the rebellious will be destroyed; they have no future. 39 The Lord rescues the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble. 40 The Lord helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him.

Don't hate me for telling you the truth, but hate me or not, this is the Truth.

Just so you understand what's at stake

Ten Great Deals For The Donald

There is a sliver of hope. If Donald Trump is elected, eschews a law and order crusade and does not capitulate to the destructive policies of the Wall Street/Washington/bicoastal establishment, there is a way forward. The political outlaw who considers himself to be the world’s greatest deal-maker would need to do just that.

To wit, a President Trump determined to rid the nation of its mutant regime of Bubble Finance at home and failed interventionism abroad would need to make Ten Great Deals.
A Peace Deal with Putin for dismantlement of NATO,  cooperation in the middle east, strangulation of ISIS by the Shiite Crescent and a comprehensive worldwide agreement to end the arms trade and pave the way for general disarmament.

A Jobs Deal based on slashing taxes on business and workers and replacing them with taxes on consumption and imports.

A Sound Money Deal to repeal Humphrey-Hawkins, end the Fed’s war on savers and cash, abolish the FOMC and limit the Fed’s remit to passively providing liquidity at a penalty spread over market interest rates based on sound commercial collateral.

A Glass-Steagall Deal to break up the giant financial conglomerates, limit the Fed’s liquidity window to “narrow banks” which only take deposits and make loans and deny deposit insurance to any banking institution involved in Wall Street trading, derivatives and other forms of financial gambling.

A Federalist Deal to turn back most of Washington’s domestic grant and welfare programs to the states and localities in return for a mega-block grant with a 30-year phase-out.

A Regulatory Deal based on an absolute 4-year freeze on every single pending regulation, and then subjecting every existing statute to strict cost-benefit rules thereafter.

A Liberty Deal to get Washington out of the war on drugs, criminal law enforcement and regulation of private conduct and morality.

A Health Care Deal based on the repeal of Obamacare and tax preferences for employer insurance plans and their replacement with wide-open provider competition, consumer choice and individual health tax credits.

A Fiscal Deal to slash post-disarmament defense spending, devolve education and other domestic programs to local government and to clawback unearned social security/medicare entitlements benefits from the affluent elderly.

And a Governance Deal to amend the constitution to rescind Citizens United, impose term limits and establish public finance of all Federal elections.

I need to administer a serious Dope Slap in the Love of Jesus to those who post certain things and expect us to believe you.

ONE PEOPLE... ONE NATION Under GOD

I know it's origin. I am German after all. But there is a question what the idea of taking back our country, making America Great again is all about. Many wonder why socialism works in Noway and many Scandinavian countries. It's because they are or were before Islamic invasion, One People and One nation. The under God part is questionable. In Germany there was a time when the nation saw itself as one. In many ways it still does. One people, One Nation.

We all have a longing for this. We want to stand side by side on the sea of glass as one in worship of the Lord of Lords, the Nation of God. The People. This is deeper than you can imagine. Like is says in the Book of Ecclesiastes, "Eternity is hidden in the Soul of Man". We long for that unity, that oneness, that nation, that being under a benevolent King.

When we see division in the USA, Balkanization by racist misleaders, Islamification without assimilation and the many divisions caused by politicians and in the end satan himself. We are warned to mark carefully those who cause division. We think this is in the church. No, this applies to social order as well.

The reason there is such a strong force for taking the country back from division and restoring oneness of the people and oneness of the nation again is because deep inside, even if we have never actually experienced it ourselves we know in our hearts it is right. Oneness only happens with selflessness. You set yourself aside for the greater good. You look out for the others interest and not your own. This is not economic, this is the Plan of God for your life. He demonstrated it first on the Cross.

Living and working in Germany as an American for several years I learned one thing about the cultural norms. They were Germans FIRST and something else second. You were GERMAN and then Croatian, Czech, Russian, Italian and while I lived there, American. Unity was the key thing. And yes there are a lot of Black and Indian people (from India) that live there. There are a lot of Iranians, I got to know many. They are Germans first. And that works fine. No black lives matter there. Isn't needed. Even many Turkish are Germans.. but they fail to assimilate and many have become outsiders, Turks first and German second.

The Japanese are exactly the same. They see themselves as ONE NATION ONE PEOPLE. There are no immigrants to Japan. They believe that Creation of the earth took place in Japan.

This is why it was so damaging for there to be a virtual invasion by muslims from the middle east that Merkel encouraged. She believed mistakenly that they would be proud to become part of ONE PEOPLE ONE NATION. EIN VOLK.

That is a failure. The nation of God must first be Under God. Even in a secular sense. Islam has no desire to become part of ONE PEOPLE.

We need unity, we need to take our country back again, we need to restore American to greatness as One People One Nation Under God. No division allowed... ever. Mark them who cause division.

The Devil HATES unity and when you see disunity you see satan at work.

Make American ONE Again.

How Loretta Lynch Responded to the Horsehead in her Bed

        AG Loretta Lynch was headed to Aspen, Co from Washington DC for a speaking engagement, a distance of around 1500 miles in almost a direct line East to West. The Government plane she was flying in was a G5 with a range of 6500 miles. Question is why she would go to Phoenix first which is 600 miles South of Aspen then go North to Aspen from Phoenix. She did not need to stop in Phoenix for fuel because if she had flown direct, fuel would not be necessary. In fact, do the math, the G5 has the range to make that round trip without refueling?

        Why was Bill waiting for Lynch's plane to land in Phoenix when she was going to Aspen? That meeting was planned to put the Clinton Fix on and some guy who worked at the FBO in Phoenix, called his friend who was an Anchor at the local ABC Station (that is a shocker) and then he verified the meeting with a second independent source at the airport. Ms Lynch said  "They talked for half an hour about grand kids and golf".    

Loretta Lynch does not have any grand kids and doesn't play golf.

At Least she hasn't committed Suicide Yet...   So the fix was in and that my friends is how the Clinton Crime Family plays Hardball. 

Tony Soprano? Amateur!!!!!

Too many Trump supporters are living in a fantasy land; That the polls are ALL wrong; That they are fake; That they mean nothing. Please get real. Somehow this has become a narrative that sounds more like Baghdad Bob when the tanks were rolling into town proclaiming there were no enemy troops in the area.

Being the queen of denial does no one any good. Faith is a wonderful thing as LONG as it’s faith in God. Faith in Trump is not faith, it’s fantasy. It might even be profane. Face the polls, face the fact that 20% of traditional republican support has fallen left the party for Clinton. Every time I hear someone prognosticate that Trump will win in a landslide I shudder. No troops on the ground I can see anywhere. I do not want Hillary Clinton for President. That much is certain. I will vote for Trump. But to believe that he can win just because you believe and think that somehow God’s in this is actually taking his name in vain. 

Cut it out. Grow up for GOD’S SAKE.

Liberal commentators and President Obama have suddenly become armchair psychiatrists declaring that Trump isn’t fit to be President. Shame them. They are being presumptuous and ignorant. I think he is impulsive and not very careful with his words, intemperate. He doesn’t know when to hold em, know when to fold em and doesn’t know when to walk away and sure doesn’t know when to run. The truth is he is as ready to become the President of the USA as Barack Obama ever was. As with Obama, there will be some on the job training that will have to take place. If he is sharp, he will surround himself with people more able than he is in certain areas to carry the water for him. IF HE IS SHARP.

The mainstream media is not our friend, they are not America’s friend, they are pure and simple a propaganda arm for globalist big government socialist agendas. Doubt every word they say. They lie, cover up important stories, are apologists for every terror group on the planet and are a danger to society as we know it. So we are clear, you have to include FOX on this list.

The TRUTH about the Cash to IRAN deal

The money sent to IRAN was their money from an old arms deal gone bad from before the revolution in the 70s. YES they did hold back returning the hostages to make sure they got their money first. Looks like ransom to most people. Inside Iran they probably think of it as ransom.

Wise? Hard to say. But owed, yes. Not an issue with much staying power. Another diversion. Focus on the Clinton Crime Family and the lies she tells. You’ll get a lot farther.

The payment is the settlement of a decades-old dispute over returning Iranian funds from a weapons purchase placed by the government of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi before he was ousted by the Mullahs.

Delivery of the payment in foreign currency was logical because U.S. sanctions prohibit deals with Iran using dollars and the U.S. has no banking relationship with the country. "The only bit of news that is relevant on this is the fact that we paid cash," Obama said. Restrictions on U.S. banking relationships with Iran mean "we could not send them a check, and we could not wire them the money."

The election coming up will have corruption and voter fraud in it. Every one does. The most egregious was last time around when more people in St Joe County Florida voted for Obama than are registered there. And in a couple precincts 100% of the vote went to him. Same in the Cleveland area. But the claim that the election will be rigged is foolish talk. That would be impossible and any attempt would be met by armed rebellion or complete totalitarian submission as in North Korea where the Kims get 100% of the vote. We need universal voter ID to stop fraud. Even in the country of India, they have universal voter ID and they certainly can't afford it. it's not about racism, it's about corruption. In North Dakota they attempted to call for Voter ID. The native American Population claimed racism. The state said, if you want a valid ID just present yourself with any kind of identification and you will have one for free. That was rejected. The Democrats can’t have that. Not enough room for graft and corruption on the reservation. So yes there is voter fraud but that's not the same as RIGGED.

To Hillary Voters:

People who vote democrat and who will vote for Hillary because she is a democrat do not understand who she really is. They will not avail themselves of the truth about her, her husband, their criminal activities and the corruption that revolves around her. Not to mention the obvious trail of dead bodies over which they continue to step. She is a criminal, crooked and has no good intent for the USA. I wish people would see or read the information that is out there. But.. blindness is always intentional. It is demonic. And since it’s rampant.. we know who’s behind it. 

What makes it more tragic is they will vote for this and then plead ignorance when it all comes down. And many are professing Christians who close their eyes and ears to the near sacramental altar of death (abortion, baby parts harvest, euthanasia, rationed health care leading to death and other proactive atrocities) that surrounds her campaign. On this Donald Trump and I agree.. she is not the Devil but she's a close personal friend and satan is on her speed dial.

I hate it when something I fought for DIES a slow death--

Those who think I secretly want Hillary Clinton to win, don’t understand the situation. I’m a businessman and a Prophet. That means that I must face truth. Pretending and hoping are not what we do. We measure, examine and uncover a strategy to get where we are destined to go. I will hate it with a passion if she wins in November. I will hate it as much as I hated it when Obama got a second term. Yet… I have some confidence in our nation. I have none in her. That we will survive. Wounded. Yes. Hurt. Terribly. It will be tragic if she becomes President. It was Tragic when Obama got a second term.

The Republican party will be changed forever if she wins or loses. It will never be what it was. It will be torn down to be rebuilt. The moderate Republicans will become the new democrats and modify the ultra left from that party. There are a lot of nutcases out there on the fringes. So no matter what after the Bernie-ism of the Democrat party, that too will go thru restructure.

I care about the Republican Party, but it's reasonable. The remaining conservatives who start by wearing a default republican badge will redefine the movement once again. A new party will emerge. It may or may not be called Republican. But reform is never pretty. It will be tragic and painful. I’m sure there were Whigs who hated the name Republican when it was reformed.

So, this is change, all change is not always improvement, look at the last 8 years, but without change there is no potential for improvement. If we are going to have to rebuild, I will rather do so under a trump presidency than see our rights and liberties stripped away by a tyrant..... Thy name is Clinton

Please try to understand WHY I can Never Ever vote for Hillary Clinton. Please try to understand how other than intentional blindness anyone can. Perhaps these images will explain.
Hillary has a shotgun pointed right at your head. It is loaded. She's a good shot. She won't miss. She is guaranteed to pull the trigger if she is elected.
Trump is a loaded chamber in Russian Roulette except he has the gun pointed at your and spins the chamber. He will pull the trigger. You have a chance the gun won't fire.

With Hillary death and destruction is certain. With Trump, there's only a chance. You might survive. In fact the odds are in your favor. Let's get over this, Trump is not going to nuke the world. That is stupid stuff the left says.
Hillary will only nuke you. OK, not nukes but you'll be just as dead as Vince Foster.
You understand that this is metaphorically speaking, but it's how I see this. She is not only dangerous, she's deadly. Trump is just dangerous.
Not great choices. But that's your choice. Now any questions on who to vote for... or against?

It is NOT hyperbole to say Obama and Clinton are destroying the American you knew. They are like a cancer. AND to be clear, this is MOSTLY Clinton. She must be stopped before she buries us all. This is a long read, but it's essential if you value the life you and your children hope to lead. This is going on RIGHT NOW.. Obama's goal of bringing ten thousand Islamic refugees into the USA is being met.. he's doing it right under our noses and we worry that trump asked some woman to take her crying infant out of his meeting.

Twin Falls Crisis Imposed by Clinton-Era Pro-Refugee Advocates

If you would understand our current political season. From Herodotus almost 500 years before Christ. Still true today.
Herodotus -
Sometime around the year 425 B.C., the writer and geographer Herodotus published his magnum opus: a long account of the Greco-Persian Wars that he called The Histories. ... Herodotus was born in about 485 B.C. in the Greek city of Halicarnassus. He was a contemporary of Socrates.

Why Wayne Grudem is Wrong About Trump | The Resurgent

Wayne Grudem is one of the most influential Christian leaders in the
nation. Many of the lessons I taught as an intern in my local church’s
youth ministry (shoutout Ingleside Baptist) were done only after
copiously studying Grudem’s book, “Systematic Theology” (order here).
Grudem is a Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix
Seminary and has helped equip countless pastors to take the Gospel to
the ends of the earth. Wayne Grudem is a brother in Christ regardless of
his position to Donald Trump.

As much as I think of Grudem, he is dead wrong on Trump. Grudem recently published an article entitled “Why Voting for Donald Trump is a Morally Good Choice”. While voting for Donald Trump is not moral or immoral, I believe it is not wise. Let’s take this point by point:

Grudem opened his article with a few paragraphs in saying this about Trump:

Grudem:
“He is egotistical, bombastic, and brash. He often lacks nuance in his
statements. Sometimes he blurts out mistaken ideas (such as bombing the
families of terrorists) that he later must abandon. He insults people.
He can be vindictive when people attack him. He has been slow to disown
and rebuke the wrongful words and actions of some angry fringe
supporters. He has been married three times and claims to have been
unfaithful in his marriages. These are certainly flaws, but I don’t
think they are disqualifying flaws in this election.”

This
description by Trump supporters, who happen to be Christians, is not
uncommon. It is eerily familiar to the excuses given by an abused wife,
desperately making excuses for not leaving her husband. “I know my
husband hits me but we can work it out,” “I know my husband says awful
things about me, but it was just a mistake.” Are our standards not any
higher? Is prefacing a political endorsement with “I know he’s a
terrible person, but…” acceptable now? I honestly feel badly for Trump
supporters who justify their existence in this abusive relationship by
saying, “I know he said (something awful) and has done (something worse)
but he’s the best I have.” No. Choose higher standards. Make
politicians earn your vote. Is there a perfect candidate? No. But,
choose policy positions and character traits that you will not
compromise on. Period.

Not voting is a vote for Clinton

Grudem:
“If this election is close (which seems likely), then if someone votes
for a write-in candidate instead of voting for Trump, this action will
directly help Hillary Clinton, because she will need one less vote to
win. Therefore the question that Christians should ask is this: Can I in
good conscience act in a way that helps a liberal like Hillary Clinton
win the presidency?”

Let’s break this down… As Erick
Erickson is forced to point out many times: If not voting for Trump is a
vote for Clinton, then not voting for Clinton is a vote for Trump. It
is a zero sum game.  A “no-vote” is just that, not a vote at all. To
assume that my vote and your vote is a right of a political party is
synonymous with political enslavement. To say that they already had my
vote before I cast it, means that they are entitled to my vote. Again,
make them earn your vote. Not voting because you deem neither candidate
is qualified to run the free world is simply that, not a vote.

Why Wayne Grudem is Wrong About Trump | The Resurgent

Democrats Continue Weakness on National Security

 GOP nominee Donald Trump got a huge convention bounce nationally with
his personal, homeland and national security message out of Cleveland,
and the Democrats are systemically unable to respond because any
meaningful, tough response would require a repudiation of their own
policies and an admission that the world has an Islamic jihad problem.



You can see the weakness of the Democratic position in President
Obama’s limp reaction to the Cleveland convention that things aren’t as
bad as they seem. A theme that runs counter to his ambulance chasing
around the country, attempting to drive his gun control agenda.




It can be seen in the Obama administration’s pathetic response to the news that two Islamic radicals
attacked a Roman Catholic mass in Normandy, France, beheading an
85-year-old priest in front of his congregation that, “France and the
United States share a commitment to protecting religious liberty for
those of all faiths, and today’s violence will not shake that
commitment.”




No one wants to restrict religious liberty, but that is really code
for Obama and the Democrats’ fear of naming the problem of Islamic
extremism and jihad, and the people of the United States know it.


When people, in the name of Islam, kill a French priest in what was
described as an almost religious ritualistic execution; murder nine
Germans in Munich; maniacally drive through a crowd in Nice, France,
ending 84 lives; and open fire on co-workers in San Bernardino,
California and gays at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, soft words don’t
impress anyone. Least of all, those who seek to murder the infidels all
around them.




Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is trapped in this Obama box, and
she dares not utter the basic truth that the world has a Sharia law
problem, and the policies she supports that open America’s doors to
hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Middle East will make our
nation dramatically less safe.
