Wind Turbine Energy That little yellow thing is a bulldozer. It is burying windmill blades used for green energy. Why? Because these blades need to be disposed of and there is presently no way to recycle them. That’s how green energy works!
Who knew? Maybe the people that make them knew. Why would they let that cat out of the bag, after all they are government subsidized with tax payer money. After all It’s all about the money every time! Just like the oil industry powers every electric car.
Also politicians do not want those huge eye sores in their backyard.
Right now the average wind farm is about 150 turbines. Each wind turbine needs 80 gallons of oil as lubricant and we’re not talking about vegetable oil, this is a PAO synthetic oil based on crude… 12,000 gallons of it. That oil needs to be replaced once a year.
It is estimated that a little over 3,800 turbines would be needed to power a city the size of New York… That’s 304,000 gallons of refined oil for just one city.
Now you have to calculate every city across the nation, large and small, to find the grand total of yearly oil consumption from “clean” energy.
Where do you think all that oil is going to come from, the oil fairies? Well thanks to ? it now comes from our suppliers in the Mideast.
Not to mention the fact that the large equipment needed to build these wind farms run on petroleum. As well as the equipment required for installation, service, maintenance, and eventual removal.
And just exactly how eco-friendly is wind energy anyway?
Each turbine requires a footprint of 1.5 acres, so a wind farm of 150 turbines needs 225 acres; In order to power a city the size of NYC you’d need 57,000 acres; and who knows the astronomical amount of land you would need to power the entire US. All of which would have to be clear-cut land because trees create a barrier & turbulence that interferes with the 20mph sustained wind velocity necessary for the turbine to work properly (also keep in mind that not all states are suitable for such sustained winds). Boy, cutting down all those trees is gonna anger a lot of green-loving tree-huggers.
Let’s talk about disposal now.
The lifespan of a modern, top quality, highly efficient wind turbine is 20 years. After that, then what? What happens to those gigantic fiber composite blades?
They cannot economically be reused, refurbished, reduced, repurposed, or recycled so guess what..? It’s off to special landfills they go.
And guess what else..? They’re already running out of these special landfill spaces for the blades that have already exceeded their usefulness. Seriously! Those blades are anywhere from 120 ft. to over 200 ft. long and there are 3 per turbine. And that’s with only 7% of the nation currently being supplied with wind energy. Just imagine if we had the other 93% of the nation on the wind grid… 20 years from now you’d have all those unusable blades with no place to put them… Then 20 years after that, and 20 years after that, and so on.
Hello there, how green is that?
I’m so glad the wind energy people are looking out for the world.

Minister Joe Wright opens Kansas Senate
This interesting prayer was given in Kansas, USA, at the opening session of their Senate. It
seems prayer still upsets some people.
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities,
but this is what they heard:
“Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says: “Woe to those who call evil good”, but that is exactly what we have done.
* We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
* We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism.
* We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.
* We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle.
* We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
* We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
* We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
* We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
* We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.
* We have abused power and called it politics.
* We have embezzled public funds and called it essential expenses.
* We have institutionalized bribery and called it sweets of office.
* We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition.
*We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
* We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh GOD, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!”
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls
responding negatively.
The church is now receiving international requests for copies of
this prayer from India, Africa and Korea.
With the LORD’S help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and WHOLEHEARTEDLY become our desire so that we again can be
called “ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”______________________________________
Ray “Bubba” Sorenson Rock – Iowa
There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy. 25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.
It’s quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll and check out the multiple photos (all angles) of the rock. At the very end, you’ll meet the young artist.
I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it’s not. It’s actually painted on the rock, too.
Here’s the artist — Ray ‘Bubba’ Sorensen.
AWESOME Work, RAY…Thank you!
God Bless America ‘ and ‘OUR SOLDIERS AND VETS’

Thomas Jefferson
His portrait is on the $2.00 Dollar Bill.This is amazing. There are two parts to this.Be sure to read the 2nd part (in RED ).Thomas Jefferson was a very remarkable man who started learning very early in life and never stopped.At 5, began studying under his cousin’s tutor.At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French.At 14, studied classical literature and additional languages.At 16, entered the College of William and Mary.Also could write in Greek with one hand, while writing the same in Latin with the other.At 19, studied Law for 5 years starting under George Wythe.At 23, started his own law practice.At 25, was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses.At 31, wrote the widely circulated “Summary View of the Rights of British America,” and retired from his law practice.At 32, was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress.At 33, wrote the Declaration of Independence.At 33, took three years to revise Virginia’s legal code and wrote a Public Education bill and a statute for Religious Freedom.At 36, was elected the second Governor of Virginia, succeeding Patrick Henry.At 40, served in Congress for two years.At 41, was the American minister to France and negotiated commercial treaties with European nations along with Ben Franklin and John Adams.At 46, served as the first Secretary of State under George Washington.At 53, served as Vice President and was elected President of the American Philosophical Society.At 55, drafted the Kentucky Resolutions and became the active head of the Republican Party.At 57, was elected the third president of the United States .At 60, obtained the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the nation’s size.At 61, was elected to a second term as President.At 65, retired to Monticello.At 80, helped President Monroe shape the Monroe Doctrine.At 81, almost single-handedly, created the University of Virginia and served as its first president.At 83, died on the 50th Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, along with John Adams.Thomas Jefferson knew, because he himself studied, the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, His laws and the nature of
man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today.Jefferson really knew his stuff…A voice from the past to lead us in the future:John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:“This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House, with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .” — Thomas Jefferson“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” — Thomas Jefferson“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its ‘ own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on, would save one-half the wars of the world.” — Thomas Jefferson“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them.” — Thomas Jefferson“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” — Thomas Jefferson“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” — Thomas Jefferson“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” — Thomas Jefferson“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” — Thomas Jefferson“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes, the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.” — Thomas JeffersonWe the People https://rumble.com/embed/v91atb/?pub=4

- Defeat the DNC forever by revealing overwhelming evidence of widespread election fraud, which will also result in a nationwide call for a voter ID system for all future elections.
- Solidify his own standing as the brilliant mastermind President of the USA for a second term.
Never bet against the Donald.RECOUNTS no longer matter; the certification of votes is now irrelevantThe action plan to achieve all this is under way as you read this. Team Trump already has the full transaction logs of Dominion Voting Systems election alterations, and with raids taking place in Europe, more evidence of foreign interference is being secured. Importantly, this enormous cache of vote fraud evidence will be more than sufficient for President Trump to present this evidence to the American people, then declare an illegal insurrection attempt against the United States of America while deploying US Marshals or military police to arrest the treasonous actors in the United States who attempted to carry out this elaborate criminal fraud. No wonder John Brennan appears to be crapping himself every time he appears on live television.Once Trump’s plan is fully activated, people like Brennan will need a lifetime supply of Depends. Once all the evidence is compiled and presented, President Trump merely needs to declare the entire election to be null and void as an artifact of a failed foreign coup attempt against the United States, aided by treasonous operators inside the Democrat party and certain dark corners of the intelligence community (CIA, FBI, etc.).As an immutable legal principle, any party that engages in a social contract (such as an election) and then cheats to try to unfairly “win” that contract, is disqualified by default. You cannot win an election by stealing it. There is overwhelming legal precedent for this in court decisions from both SCOTUS and Federal district courts. The recounts are irrelevant. The “certification” of the fraudulent votes is just theater. None of that matters once the overwhelming fraudulent nature of the entire operation is documented and revealed to all.We’ve already wonTrump has already won this election. The treasonous enemies of America have already been caught. They will face criminal charges by the thousands as all this plays out, unless they flee the country first. And the DOJ is about to drop the hammer on the entire operation.The American people are with Trump — including many Democrats who are now sickened by what they witnessed take place with wholesale left-wing election theft. Americans will not allow their country to be stolen by foreign interests, and as we’ve mentioned before, if Trump needs to call up every able-bodied man in America to converge on Washington D.C. fully armed with courage, millions of patriots will arrive to defend this constitutional republic against its enemies, both foreign and domestic.Trump no longer needs to win recounts, and he certainly doesn’t need the media on his side. They won’t be around much longer anyway. All Trump needs is to continue gathering evidence, prepare to present it to the world, and continue to garner support from millions of Americans who are ready to lay their lives on the line, if necessary, to defend this nation.We win if we choose to win. The only way we lose is if we surrender to the criminals on the Left. And the word “concede” isn’t even in my vocabulary. Nor will Alex Jones, Owen Shroyer, Steve Bannon, Jim Hoft, Rudy Giuliani or any other patriot surrender to these left-wing criminals and tyrants.

It is almost meditative – four powerful world leaders, quietly signing the historic peace agreement. The white flowers in the foreground add to the serene atmosphere.
This was a special day for humanity.
God bless President Trump and the Alliance. We owe our lives – and the lives of generations to come – to you.

What is actually happening… https://www.youtube.com/embed/-fhGV1LxeKQ
___________________________________________________
When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man’s sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.
And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this ‘anonymous’ poem winging across the Internet.
Cranky Old Man
What do you see nurses? . . .. . .What do you see?
What are you thinking .. . when you’re looking at me?
A cranky old man, . . . . . .not very wise,
Uncertain of habit .. . . . . . . .. with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food .. . … . . and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice . .’I do wish you’d try!’
Who seems not to notice . . .the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . . . .. . . A sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not . . . … lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding . . . .The long day to fill?
Is that what you’re thinking?. .Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse .you’re not looking at me.
I’ll tell you who I am . . . . .. As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, .. . . . as I eat at your will.
I’m a small child of Ten . .with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters .. . . .. . who love one another
A young boy of Sixteen . . . .. with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . .. . . a lover he’ll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty . . . ..my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows .. .. .that I promised to keep.
At Twenty-Five, now . . . . .I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . .. . . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . .. With ties that should last.
At Forty, my young sons .. .have grown and are gone,
But my woman is beside me . . to see I don’t mourn.
At Fifty, once more, .. …Babies play ’round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . . My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me . . . . My wife is now dead.
I look at the future … . . . . I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing .. . . young of their own.
And I think of the years . . . And the love that I’ve known.
I’m now an old man . . . . . . .. and nature is cruel.
It’s jest to make old age . . . . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles .. .. . grace and vigour, depart.
There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass . A young man still dwells,
And now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells
I remember the joys . . . . .. . I remember the pain.
And I’m loving and living . . . . . . . life over again.
I think of the years, all too few . . .. gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people .. . . . .. . . open and see.
Not a cranky old man .
Look closer . . . . see .. .. . .. …. . ME!!Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within. We will all, one day, be there, too!

True Peace https://loiaconoliteraryagency.com/true-peace/ by Dr. Charles Stanley, Everyday in His Presence 365 Devotions June 13
Gideon built an alter and named it The Lord is Peace. Judges 6:24
It’s not in the appeasement of evil, ungodly compromise, or by engaging in the false security the world offers that you’ll find true and lasting peace. You will only do so by obeying God.
Gideon understood this firsthand/ Judges 21:25 says, “In those days everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” This did not bring anyone tranquility. On the contrary, the Israelites’ idolatrous ways invited continual assaults by surrounding armies. So God called upon Gideon to obey Him and to stand against the invaders.
Being from the smallest, weakest tribe, Gideon felt unprepared for the challenge. Wouldn’t it be easier just to get along with the oppressing Midianites?
The Lord’s answer? “Surely I will be with you.” Judges 6:16. Yes, Gideon’s righteous stand would stir up the enemy, but God would be his abiding peace and lead him to triumph.
The same is true for you. Obeying the Lord may not be easy or popular, but you can have peace no other way. So stand firm in Him and trust that He will be your place of rest.
Lord, lead me. I will obey You. I praise You for being my peace, amen.
In His presence find true and lasting peace.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
“Trust and Obey” by John Sammis history http://hishymnhistory.blogspot.com/2012/11/trust-and-obey.html
The evil of today is controlled by Satan’s demons, sent to roam the earth seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. He is controlling through fear. To be where we should we must go to the Bible and live by Our Father’s word. Submit to HIS will for your life. Love and care for one another. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and your neighbor as yourself.” Yes, to love yourself is to love and respect the Holy Spirit that lives in every believer.
“Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world
Whether yellow, black, or white, they are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world.” Clare Herbert Woolston
ALL LIVES MATTER. Stop the madness. We all bleed red.
Guns don’t kill people any more than cars do. People kill people.
Without law enforcement evil will reign and no one will be safe. Respect our men in blue and obey the laws set forth in the Constitution! Stop the looting, destruction of property, and murder. Stop desecrating our history’s monuments. This is the United States of America! Millions have sacrificed everything so you could live here. Remember that!
Wash your hands and say your prayers,
Jesus and germs are everywhere.
God has this. HE really does. The CCP must run its course like any other virus. Some may die, but thousands die daily of accidents, other illnesses, drug abuse, and murder, and we don’t close our schools and shut down our economy because of that! Let’s get this country open and Keep America Great!

If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
THE BAT
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place.
If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air.
Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
THE BUMBLEBEE
A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
PEOPLE
In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up!
That’s the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem….just look up!
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, but Faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and trust in our God, who loves us.
Please listen. https://facebook.com/dana.coverstone/videos/10222850542241903/?t=3

I grieve for AMERICA.
Terrorists set a homeless man’s belongings on fire as he slept on the streets.
Terrorists beat a store owner unconscious for defending his store; left for dead, he passes away from the injuries he sustained. Who grieves for him and what his family has lost?
Terrorists burned horses ALIVE trapped in a horse trailer.
Terrorists set fire to a luxury car dealership.
Terrorists set fire to St. John’s Church in Washington DC.
Terrorists murdered a black retired police captain in St. Louis responding to looting at a pawn shop while it was being broadcast on Facebook… live.
Terrorists set fire to a black owned sports bar and tried to steal what wasn’t burned up.
Terrorists ran over police officers in New York City and Buffalo in separate hit and run incidents.
Terrorists over-turned a police car, and to add insult to injury, a deranged woman climbed up on the over turned squad car and took a shit on it… and is cheered on by other protesters!
82 black people were shot and 19 died in Chicago this past weekend and no one cares.
Now terrorists have their knee on the throat of AMERICA! I pray for America because WE THE PEOPLE can’t breathe!!!

Three Simple Questions – All Lives Matter
June 7, 2020
Holy Trinity Sunday
Mr. President,
In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness. The children of light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity, while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority. And yet the former are the object of a sort of discrimination which places them in a situation of moral inferiority with respect to their adversaries, who often hold strategic positions in government, in politics, in the economy and in the media. In an apparently inexplicable way, the good are held hostage by the wicked and by those who help them either out of self-interest or fearfulness.
These two sides, which have a Biblical nature, follow the clear separation between the offspring of the Woman and the offspring of the Serpent. On the one hand there are those who, although they have a thousand defects and weaknesses, are motivated by the desire to do good, to be honest, to raise a family, to engage in work, to give prosperity to their homeland, to help the needy, and, in obedience to the Law of God, to merit the Kingdom of Heaven. On the other hand, there are those who serve themselves, who do not hold any moral principles, who want to demolish the family and the nation, exploit workers to make themselves unduly wealthy, foment internal divisions and wars, and accumulate power and money: for them the fallacious illusion of temporal well-being will one day – if they do not repent – yield to the terrible fate that awaits them, far from God, in eternal damnation.
In society, Mr. President, these two opposing realities co-exist as eternal enemies, just as God and Satan are eternal enemies. And it appears that the children of darkness – whom we may easily identify with the deep state which you wisely oppose and which is fiercely waging war against you in these days – have decided to show their cards, so to speak, by now revealing their plans. They seem to be so certain of already having everything under control that they have laid aside that circumspection that until now had at least partially concealed their true intentions. The investigations already under way will reveal the true responsibility of those who managed the Covid emergency not only in the area of health care but also in politics, the economy, and the media. We will probably find that in this colossal operation of social engineering there are people who have decided the fate of humanity, arrogating to themselves the right to act against the will of citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations.
We will also discover that the riots in these days were provoked by those who, seeing that the virus is inevitably fading and that the social alarm of the pandemic is waning, necessarily have had to provoke civil disturbances, because they would be followed by repression which, although legitimate, could be condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population. The same thing is also happening in Europe, in perfect synchrony. It is quite clear that the use of street protests is instrumental to the purposes of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential elections who embodies the goals of the deep state and who expresses those goals faithfully and with conviction. It will not be surprising if, in a few months, we learn once again that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom: Solve et Coagula, as the Masonic adage teaches.
Although it may seem disconcerting, the opposing alignments I have described are also found in religious circles. There are faithful Shepherds who care for the flock of Christ, but there are also mercenary infidels who seek to scatter the flock and hand the sheep over to be devoured by ravenous wolves. It is not surprising that these mercenaries are allies of the children of darkness and hate the children of light: just as there is a deep state, there is also a deep church that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God. Thus the Invisible Enemy, whom good rulers fight against in public affairs, is also fought against by good shepherds in the ecclesiastical sphere. It is a spiritual battle, which I spoke about in my recent Appeal which was published on May 8.
For the first time, the United States has in you a President who courageously defends the right to life, who is not ashamed to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world, who speaks of Jesus Christ and the right of citizens to freedom of worship. Your participation in the March for Life, and more recently your proclamation of the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, are actions that confirm which side you wish to fight on. And I dare to believe that both of us are on the same side in this battle, albeit with different weapons.
For this reason, I believe that the attack to which you were subjected after your visit to the National Shrine of Saint John Paul II is part of the orchestrated media narrative which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order, but to aggravate dispositions; not to bring justice, but to legitimize violence and crime; not to serve the truth, but to favor one political faction. And it is disconcerting that there are Bishops – such as those whom I recently denounced – who, by their words, prove that they are aligned on the opposing side. They are subservient to the deep state, to globalism, to aligned thought, to the New World Order which they invoke ever more frequently in the name of a universal brotherhood which has nothing Christian about it, but which evokes the Masonic ideals of those want to dominate the world by driving God out of the courts, out of schools, out of families, and perhaps even out of churches.
The American people are mature and have now understood how much the mainstream media does not want to spread the truth but seeks to silence and distort it, spreading the lie that is useful for the purposes of their masters. However, it is important that the good – who are the majority – wake up from their sluggishness and do not accept being deceived by a minority of dishonest people with unavowable purposes. It is necessary that the good, the children of light, come together and make their voices heard. What more effective way is there to do this, Mr. President, than by prayer, asking the Lord to protect you, the United States, and all of humanity from this enormous attack of the Enemy? Before the power of prayer, the deceptions of the children of darkness will collapse, their plots will be revealed, their betrayal will be shown, their frightening power will end in nothing, brought to light and exposed for what it is: an infernal deception.
Mr. President, my prayer is constantly turned to the beloved American nation, where I had the privilege and honor of being sent by Pope Benedict XVI as Apostolic Nuncio. In this dramatic and decisive hour for all of humanity, I am praying for you and also for all those who are at your side in the government of the United States. I trust that the American people are united with me and you in prayer to Almighty God.
United against the Invisible Enemy of all humanity, I bless you and the First Lady, the beloved American nation, and all men and women of good will.

a nation that has lost its collective mind! Let’s see if I got this right…
� If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
� Somehow it’s Un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
� Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegal Mexicans voting in our elections are good.
� It was cool for Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if the President inquires about it.
� Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote
� People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves. This after 250,000 white union soldiers died to free the slaves and the subsequent freed slaves had already been given 40 acres and a mule to stimulate their life of freedom.
� Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing conservative people in restaurants is virtuous.
� People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for useless degrees.
� Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
� Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate Central-American gang-banger who jumps the southern fence is welcome.
� $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for ‘free’ health care is not.
� If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
� People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
� We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, and it seems like a great plan to us.
� Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
� Criminals are catch-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights.
� And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists”?!
Please add:
Prisoners who have been convicted of a crime serious enough to have been sent to prison should be released into the community to avoid Coronavirus, but citizens who want to go to work or patronize a business in the community should be jailed.

*****
HERE IT IS FOLKS. GET PREPARED ! Just leave this out here for you to make your own decision.
China’s Bio weapon, and Pelosi
My wife Angie will tell you that I study history and world events fluently every day.
I have studied China for many years. To get answers I need two questions,
I call many I know in Washington on Capitol Hill (from my tenure on two Presidential campaigns and Presidential talks)
and I ask them for straight up answers to better understand what affects us as a nation.
Well, in 2016 America elected a new Sheriff: Donald J Trump. For decades the Chinese walked all over America but the new President said “not anymore”.
Trump literally strangled China’s economy to the point their economy was in its worst free fall ever.
Trump negotiated a new 50 billion trade agreement. He had Xi by the proverbial balls.
America’s economy was on fire and unstoppable.
President Xi Jingping knew he could not beat the USA militarily and he knew any domesticated economic attack would fail as our economy was too strong.
He had to act. But how?
Enter the USA democrats led by Pelosi and Schiff. Impeachment. A hoax. A distraction for our people and President.
Xi Jingping and his thugs see this. They aren’t stupid.
They have very intelligent intellectual thinkers in their government.
Now you must understand , the Chinese regime are truly Barbarians.
Notice I did not say ALL CHINESE. The Chinese people are a good people. I enjoy my interactions with them.
The communist regime has millions of its own citizens slaving in gulags simply for speaking against the government or openly practicing Christianity.
Knowing they could not attack us openly they needed to be coy, like a deceptive fox.
In my opinion, I believe the regime released a biological weapon upon the world that doesn’t kill everyone, but kills“enough,” especially the elderly and in-firmed.
Back in WW 2 Hitler thought the same way. He got rid of what he considered the useless and rejects of society.
Trumps task force uses models to figure things. Xi used and uses “models” too.
He figured that if he killed a few of his own (a few hundred thousand to them would be a few out of 1.4 billion people) and spread the virus to other nations (especially to the USA) they would “level the economic playing field” and not have fired a shot.
Losses of his own people were acceptable costs of a new war.
When China’s own doctors attempted to sound the warning, they were immediately silenced. In fact one died and another has simply disappeared.
Trump and the other allied leaders indeed KNOW this is what happened.
They have under reported their own deaths.
Trump knows he cannot outrightly seek retribution.
His news conference today showed me this when he balked publicly about no outright retribution over Xi’s handling of this and he immediately brought up the “trade deal”. However,Trump wasn’t being weak, he too was now being coy.
We know this was a biological weapon. The food market story is bullcrap… Xi knows we know it.
Trump also today announced he sent two battle groups of destroyers and other ships to sea several days ago to fight drugs and rogue actors like Iran should they try anything.
I say he did this to show Xi he knows what has transpired (we have the greatest intelligence assets) and that they (the Chinese) should rethink further action.
Politics is premier. We cannot overtly attack China for what they have done as we would also suffer greatly. We all know this.
But China has temporarily achieved its goal.
America was literally consumed by Trumps phony impeachment brought by the ultra left democrats (supported by democrat rank and file and one Republican Mitt Romney) and Xi Jingping saw an opening.
He took it. Xi did what Trump usually does…he walked onto the world stage and threw a grenade into the “room” and left.
It exploded in the form of this worldwide pandemic. It brought the USA and the rest of the world to its knees and leveled the economic playing field.
Our economy is now near depression. Xi didn’t fire one bullet.
Trump needed to up his game of chess and putting our Naval ships to sea was his next move. He said he is a“war” President. He is.
But now on not one but two fronts. One front is the virus and the other front is the Chinese.
While the Saudi’s and Russians are screwing with oil prices they aren’t overtly doing what this pandemic is doing.
The drug smuggling story for dispatching the Naval Force is bullcrap and the world knows it.
I am of the opinion Trump can indeed bring us back from this catastrophe albeit with a changed playing field.
But Trump is a genius in chess and financial matters. He’s become a champ at international politics too.
I am sure Trump can once again lead the economy to even stronger strength and greatness that it was .
He can do it quickly I’m sure of it. He has proved it.
Xi Jingping needs to be sent a message loud and clear.NEVER AGAIN.
We need to bring all of our critical manufacturing back from China beginning with our medicines they were recently threatening to withhold.
We can do it immediately.
Again,another reason for Trump putting to sea such a sizable Naval Force. Sending a clear message.
We all must ride out the next few weeks. Then we and the world pick up the pieces and move on.
The democrats who have given Xi this opening wrapped in a bow must pay a heavy price in November as they (the democrats) truly have cost and continue to cost America precious lives by the phony scandals.
Nancy Pelosi continues to help the Chinese by her daily shameless attacks upon the President and meddling in stimulus packages as she did this last weekend. Yesterday’s statements she made were truly appalling and the lowest of low. I didn’t think she could go any lower.What a disgrace she is to our nation.
But, Pelosi aside, make no mistake,China must and will be taught a lesson the likes they have never seen before and Trump is the man to pull the trigger.
We the people must teach the democrats the same lesson at the polls.
They (the radical wing of the party) are the enemy of a free America.
I am certain of it. The entire democrat party of our forefathers is dead.
Remember people, Trump indeed tried to warn us all of the Conavirus in his State of the Union Speech.
He spoke of it. He said he was on top of it.
After he spoke ,Nancy Pelosi ripped up the speech calling Trumps words “a manifesto of lies”.
She disgraced the country and all of our fellow honored citizens present in the House Chamber.
Well she now has American blood on her hands.
She is very majorly responsible for these needless deaths as well as the Chinese. Her and Adam Schiff.
The left and democrats laughed as she tore up his speech.
Well, as they laughed the disease he just spoke of in that speech came to our shores. Republicans and Democrats alike are now dying.
Your family members and mine. Our grandparents and middle aged citizens alike. Bodies are being loaded in trucks with forklifts in Brooklyn outside of hospitals.
No one is safe. Our liberty is for the most part suspended.
As we bury our dead (without proper funerals) from this calamity let’s drive the nails into the coffin of the Democrat party as well in November.
It’s time people. Stand up for your rights and your country!
Our Liberty and survival is at stake! I am praying for God’s blessing on our nation.
But, God also gave us the ability to think for ourselves and it’s time we placed blame for all this death where it belongs:
on the doorsteps of Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Xi Jingping directly.
Wake Up America.

Quarantine
The root of the word “quarantine” is “forty”.
So what does the Bible say about 40?
The flood lasted 40 days.
40 years Moses fled Egypt.
40 days Moses stayed on Mount Sinai to receive the Commandments.
Exodus lasted 40 years.
Jesus fasted for 40 days.
Lent is 40 days.
40 days for a woman to rest after giving birth.
A group of theologians thinks the number 40 represents “change”. It is the time of preparing a person, or people, to make a fundamental change.
Something will happen after these 40 days. Just believe and pray. Remember, whenever the number 40 appears in the Bible, there is a “change”.
Please know that during this “quarantine” rivers are cleaning up, vegetation is growing, the air is becoming cleaner because of less pollution, there is less theft and murder, healing is happening, and most importantly, people are turning to Christ. The Earth is at rest for the first time in many years and hearts are truly transforming.
So, during this time, enjoy it with your loved ones and return to the family altar together. Family prayer is a great blessing. Through prayer you will see the changes God can work in you and in your home. Christ promises us that everything works together for the good for those who love God: Romans 8:28!
Remember we are in the year 2020, and 20 + 20 = 40.
Also, 2020 is the year of the United States Census. Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, was born during a census.
Lastly, 2020 is perfect vision. May our sight focus on the Lord and living according to His perfect vision for us knowing He holds us in the palm of His hand.
May these days of “quarantine” bring spiritual liberation to our souls, our nation, and our world.
The best is yet to come.
Trust in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!
Amen

Dear Friends and Family,
I’m used to dealing with dangerous diseases. I’ve been an emergency room doctor for forty-one years, providing medical care in large and small facilities across the globe. I’ve worked in a leper colony in India, a malaria clinic on the Amazon River, an orphanage in Maputo, and a waterless hospital in Kenya. I’ve treated malaria, plague, tularemia, typhus, typhoid, brucellosis, and a large number of patients who had infectious diseases I couldn’t diagnosis. Even here in America I’ve been exposed to bugs of all kinds, from flu to chicken pox, from Legionarie’s Disease to meningococcal meningitis.
I say all this to emphasize that COVID ranks near the top of the list of dangerous infections. The purpose of this letter is to help people understand how this infection is transmitted and urge everyone to take proper precautions.
The COVID virus threat is real, the danger palpable. As an example of this pandemic at its worse, here’s part of a blog from a fellow ER doctor working in New Orleans. Warning, it’s horrific.
Our 22 bed ICU and now a 4 bed Endoscopy suite are all Covid 19. All of these patients are intubated except one. 75% of our floor beds have been cohorted into Covid 19 wards and are full. We are averaging 4 rescue intubations a day on the floor. We now have 9 vented patients in our ER transferred down from the floor after intubation. Our main teaching hospital repurposed space to open 50 new Covid 19 ICU beds this past Sunday. Today those 50 beds are full. They are opening 30 more by Friday.
The expected duration of intubation for this disease is between two to four weeks. Of those who deteriorate to requiring intubation, the mortality rate runs around 70%.
South Mississippi isn’t facing this kind of crisis … dare I say “yet.” I’ve certainly seen cases of the disease. Here’s a brief summary of the symptoms and progression of COVID.
2-11 days after exposure (day 5 on average) flu like symptoms start. Common are fever, headache, dry cough, myalgias (back pain), nausea without vomiting, abdominal discomfort with some diarrhea, loss of smell, anorexia, and fatigue.
Day 5 of symptoms- increased shortness of breath with bilateral viral pneumonia from direct viral damage to lung parenchyma.
Day 10- Either improvement, or cytokine storm leading to acute lung failure known as Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome and multiorgan failure. You can literally watch it happen in a matter of hours.
81% of those infected have mild symptoms, 14% severe symptoms requiring hospitalization, 5% critical.
The COVID virus requires moisture to survive. It’s mixed in spit droplets aerosolized by coughing, talking, and even breathing. After leaving the mouth of an infected person, the droplets swirl outward for a few feet, hang around a bit, and then dry out, killing the virus. If the water droplets land on another person’s eyes, nose, or mouth, they can enter the body and create infection. If it lands anywhere else, such as on hands, clothing, or hard surfaces, the virus will die when the moisture is gone. Wearing a mask (of any kind) and glasses whenever you are near another person is the easiest and best protection – not 100% by any means, but a big help. Staying six-feet away will help too.
There’s a small chance of getting the virus in other ways. Theoretically, if someone has sneezed near a doorknob, or into their hand and touches a doorknob, and then you touch the doorknob while it’s still wet, and then touch your eyes, nose, or mouth, you could become infected. Two lessons here: one, it’s difficult to get except through breathing in the virus and, two, wash your hands frequently.
To control the spread of the virus, stay home if you can. When you do go out, wear a mask or even a handkerchief over your face both to protect yourself and others. Other things you can do to help: don’t hoard and do donate money online for food kitchens. If you can sew, make some homemade masks for yourself and others. We ran into one woman at Hobby Lobby who was buying material to make 100 masks to donate to nursing homes and first providers. You don’t really need the super-duper N95.
Eventually this crisis will end in one of three ways. First, the population will gain herd immunity, that means, most everyone will have had the virus and developed antibodies so that the virus won’t survive without new people to infect. It took one year for the Spanish Flu to die out in the 1918 epidemic. Secondly, we may just find a treatment. So far, the treatments suggested, such as chloroquine, Plaquenil, or Zithromax, are unproven and probably not helpful. Based on the history of Herpes and HIV, it usually takes several years to find effective anti-virals. Third, a vaccine might be developed. That usually takes over a year, so about the time the virus is going to die out anyway.
Meanwhile here are some interesting preventative treatments I’ve read about:
- Gargle with vinegar to kill the virus in your mouth.
- Take a bath in bleach.
- Use essential oil massages and consume high doses of Vitamin C.
Those three are the “April Fool’s” part of this letter. Remember, the virus is spread by airborne droplets. Gargling won’t help, bleach will damage your skin, and homeopathic remedies have no proven value against the virus. COVID is not transferred by toilet seats or newspapers or fast foods. It might get in your hair or on your clothes, but will die there quickly.
I love my job and will go to work as long as I’m allowed and able to do so. I hope that of the many patients I’ll see, you won’t be one struck by this illness. Stay secluded. Use facial masks. Wash your hands frequently.
And send notes of encouragement to your friends and loved ones.

28th Amendment
Please read 28th amendment Please Read, and forward. This will only take 1 minute to read! 28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting. It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on. It’s an idea whose time has come to deal with this self-serving situation: OUR PRESENT SITUATION!
- Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans.
- Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to pay back student loans.
- Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term.
- Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live. For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment. And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects.
We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then putting themselves above the law. I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop. Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: “Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the Citizens of the United States …” This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party.
Congressional Reform Act of 2017
- No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office. And, no more perks go with them.
- Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
- Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.
- Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
- Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
- Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
- All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies.

Democrats Led Our Nation Away From God
America has betrayed our founders!
America has betrayed our God!
Christians escaped religious persecution in Europe and with God’s divine intervention, created our great nation. Ten-plus miracles by God sustained our founders during our Revolutionary War. We were outnumbered 10 to 1 by a well-trained and disciplined British army, but by God’s grace we won! It was an amazing miracle.
Miracles persisted throughout the war. George Washington led in battle, often within 50 yards of the British! He had four bullet holes in his coat and two horses shot from under him. He did not get a scratch. Praise God! George Washington read his Bible daily.
An enormous British armada gathered in Boston Harbor and prepared to level the city with canon. Bostonians prayed and fasted. That night, a huge storm blew the armada out to sea and sunk it. Far more battle miracles occurred, to be found with a little research.
From 1775 to 1783, our Continental Congress issued 15 proclamations. Without exception, each humbly beseeched Almighty God’s hand in their endeavors. Our founders held church services. Most of the early 13 states had a state religion. Only Christians were permitted to hold public office. America was certainly born a very Christian nation.
Our First Amendment prevailed over many court challenges, setting much early legal precedent. America coexisted with God for 150 years … until 1947. In 1947, against all court precedent, against the Constitution of the United States, nine Democrat Supreme Court justices declared separation of church and state. America became a secularist nation — a government without God. This created a new court precedent for the incremental moral decline of America. This became the Democrats’ ploy for America’s trip to hell. They ignore American heritage in pursuit of their agenda!
In 1952, the Lyndon Johnson amendment forbade pastors to speak politics in the pulpit, separation of church and state allowed Democrats to take prayer out of school. The high school pregnancy rate doubled in 10 years! In 1973, Democrats passed Roe v. Wade, allowing the murder of babies in the womb. Democrats then took Bibles out of hotels. Democrats removed the Ten Commandments from the courthouse in Montgomery, Ala., Display of religion on public property is under constant attack by Democrats.
A Democrat Supreme Court spit in the eye of God as it legalized unconstitutional same-sex marriage and ugly sodomy in 2015. They ignored Sodom and Gomorrah!
A Democrat president expelled God from our military. He also gave us same-sex bathrooms in 2015! Today, Democrat judges penalize Christians who refuse to cater same-sex marriages.
The reign and the rain of secularism over three generations destroyed our weakest American families. Lack of the Judeo-Christian ethic has exacerbated divorce, school shootings, riots, rape, unwed mothers, gangs, etc. We had no school shootings until secularism eroded our culture.
Our secularist culture is the catalyst for school shootings. Democrats created our secularist society and are sustained by less informed voters. The Democrat Party has betrayed our Founding Fathers! The Democrat Party has betrayed God!
To vote Democrat makes you complicit. The party of slavery is now the party of abortion. Jesus would not support their evil, anti-God agenda. Jesus loves you but he hates your sin! Jesus Christ would not vote Democrat! How can you vote Democrat and call yourself Christian? Share Jesus to save America for our children and grandchildren.

Kissinger’s take on Trump
Kissinger is now 95 years old. Recently, Henry Kissinger did an interview and said very amazing things regarding President Trump.
He starts with: “Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t seen before!” The former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gives us a new understanding of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy and predicts its success: “Liberals and all those who favor (Hillary) Clinton will never admit it.”
They will never admit that he is the one true leader. The man is doing changes like never before and does all of it for the sake of this nation’s people. After eight years of tyranny, we finally see a difference.”
Kissinger knows it and he continues with: “Every country now has to consider two things: One, their perception that the previous president, or the outgoing president, basically withdrew America from international politics, so that they had to make their own assessments of their necessities.” And secondly, that there is a new president who’s asking a lot of unfamiliar questions. And because of the combination of the partial vacuum and the new questions, one could imagine that something remarkable and new emerges out of it.”
Then Kissinger puts it bluntly: “Trump puts America and its people first. This is why people love him and this is why he will remain in charge for so long. There is not a single thing wrong with him and people need to open their eyes.”
When he boasts that he has a “bigger red button” than Kim Jung Un does, he so transcends the mealy-mouthed rhetoric of the past, thereby forcing a new recognition of American power.
Kissinger once wrote: “The weak grow strong by effrontery – The strong grow weak through inhibition!”
No sentence better captures the U.S.-North Korea relationship. Trump is discarding the inhibitions and calling the bluff on North Korea’s effrontery: His point is that the contrast of American retreat under Obama and its new assertion of power under Trump creates a new dynamic that every one of our allies and of our enemies must consider. Our allies grew complacent with Obama’s passivity and now are fearful due to Trump’s activism. And they must balance the two in developing their policies:They realize that the old assumptions, catalyzed by Bush 43’s preoccupation with Iraq and Obama’s refusal to lead are obsolete. So, Trump is forcing a new calculus with a new power behind American interests. Those — here and abroad — who rode the old apple cart worry about it being toppled. But, as Kissinger so boldly stated: “Trump is the one true leader in world affairs and he is forcing policy changes that put America first!“ This is the most accurate statement of what the American Citizens who live outside of the swamp want and expect from their government.
Here is a list of 13 things that senior American citizens want. Trump is at least talking about issues that most Americans are concerned about. Kissinger’s mantra about Trump is this: “Truthfully, we are in agreement with most of what he says. We are getting older and our tickers aren’t what they used to be, but what matters is that he covers most of the 13 things we as seniors want, at least I do for sure:
- Hillary: held accountable for her previous wrongs!
- Put “GOD” back in America!
- Borders: Closed or tightly guarded!
- Congress: On the same retirement and healthcare plans as everybody else.
- Congress: Obey its own laws NOW!
- Language: English!
- Culture: Constitution and the Bill of Rights!
- Drug-Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before and during Welfare!
- Freebies: NONE to Non-Citizens!
- Budget: Balance the damn thing!
- Foreign Countries: Stop giving them our money! Charge them for our help! We need it here.
- Term limits for congress
And most of all.13. “RESPECT OUR MILITARY AND OUR FLAG AND OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT! “We the people are coming! Only 86% will send this on. Should be 100% What will you do? DRAIN THE DAMN SWAMP! Please send it on–if only to one person.

Deep State and the Fake News
You may not realize it, but it is very hard for the real truth to get out to the American public! This is what you can truly call a “stacked deck” when it come to reporting the news. Read on!
IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS SYSTEM WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN’T QUITE PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE. This is what you call a “stacked deck.”
This is “THE SWAMP’ in its shining glory … too bad this is not better understood outside the ‘beltway’. When you hear the words ‘Fake News’ just remember these folks who are at the helm of these news outlets:
- ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, Obama’s former National Security Adviser.
- CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.
- ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Obama White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
- ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s former Deputy Press Secretary.
- ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s former Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood.
- CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.
And just for some additional scary info about the “deepness” of the Deep State, be aware that:
- California Governor GAVIN NEWSOME — who you may remember is making some crazy decisions about California’s direction — is Nancy Pelosi’s nephew.
- Adam Shiff’s sister is married to – George Soros’ son.
- John Kerry’s daughter is married to – A “MULLAH’S son in Iran.
All of this is huge information and is JUST a “partial’ list since the same incestuous relationship holds true for NBC/MSNBC and most media outlets. Trump has been right all along. Fake News is generated by this incestuous relationship. Is it any surprise that almost all the new reporting you hear about Trump is negative? These people are panic stricken that Trump may succeed at “draining the swamp” and destroy their cozy little “Deep State” arrangement. These people DO NOT have the best interests of America at heart – they care only about perpetrating their own special lives! Are these the people you would like to have running our country?? Ya think there might be a little bias in the news?….. Ya Think? Be scared folks – our country is in grave danger!

ARTICLE I:
You do NOT have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II:
You do NOT have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone — not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc. but the world is full of dummies, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III:
You do NOT have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV:
You do NOT have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.
ARTICLE V:
You do NOT have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI:
You do NOT have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you get the blue juice.
ARTICLE VII:
You do NOT have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII:
You do NOT have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX:
You do NOT have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X:
This is an English speaking country. We don’t care where you came from, English is our language. Learn it!
Lastly
ARTICLE XI:
You do NOT have the right to change our country’s history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, sorry if you are uncomfortable with it.
If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don’t have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don’t. I just think it’s about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States must speak out because if you do not, who will?

I’m old and I’m Tired
This should be required reading. By Robert A. Hall I’m 83
Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I’ve workedhard since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired. Very tired.I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.
I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor”; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t”believers;” of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery;” of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari??? law tells them to.
I’m tired of being told that, out of “tolerance for other cultures,” we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassah Islamic schools to preach hate in America and Canada , while no American nor Canadian group is allowed to fund a church,synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.
I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?
I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
Yes, I’m damn tired . But I’m also glad to be 83, because, mostly, I’m not going to have to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my granddaughters and grandsons.
Robert A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.

Why We Celebrate the Fourth of July
The Fourth of July is the most important political holiday in the world. In fact, it should be a universal holiday.
Independence Day commemorates not just an American revolution but a revolution in the relationship between people and their government.
Most of human history has been a story of the powerful controlling, dominating, and exploiting the weak.
Even today, in Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea, the old models still exists.
In the communist dictatorship of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping is imposing 21st century totalitarianism with a level of surveillance and control which surpasses even the worst nightmares of George Orwell.
The great break in the relationship of normal people with their government came on July 4, 1776. In the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers not only declared their freedom from King George III of England, they established a framework of freedom for all people everywhere.
The Declaration of Independence was written primarily by Thomas Jefferson (which is why the Left’s new found dislike of Jefferson is so absurd). He set out to establish universal principles for all mankind. He did not describe American rights. He described human rights that were by definition also applicable to Americans.
This is the distinction that should make the Fourth of July a universal celebration. Jefferson wrote a formula that could liberate every person on the planet.
Note the universal assertion:
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness: —That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the governed; that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, & to institute new Government, laying it’s Foundation on such Principles, & organizing it’s Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety & Happiness.”The Declaration was a statement from which all humans can seek guidance. Its adoption should be a date of remembrance for everyone everywhere who wants to reassert their right to govern themselves and not be exploited by others.
It is especially important to celebrate the Declaration of Independence now, because the great concept of self-government under the rule of law is under attack from without and within.
Obviously, the Putins, Kim Jong Uns and Castros despise this doctrine of Creator-endowed rights expressed within the rule of law.
Unfortunately, we now have enemies of freedom within our own country and in the democracies of Europe. Violent extremists like Antifa seek to destroy freedom and impose their values by intimidation and force. Many academics express contempt for the American system of self-government. The more radical elements of the Congress clearly seek to undermine and dramatically change the American system.
It is important to use the Fourth of July every year to reassert the importance of universal rights endowed by our Creator for every human being. It is important to use this holiday to remember how exceptional America is – and that everyone on the planet has the opportunity to apply this exceptionalism to their own countries and governments.
This is why Fourth of July is the most important political holiday for every human.
Your Friend,
Newt_______________________________________________________
Our nation’s story is nothing short of incredible!
It was a nation of settlers who fought for faith and freedom, declaring liberty over life. On July 4, 1776, they successfully rebelled against the king of England and his formidable army.
This attempt looked outrageously stupid, and the odds were against them.
Miraculously, these rebels and revolutionaries prevailed, and our fledgling country grew stronger. Since then, our Founding Fathers have embedded radical notions that have never existed before. A government with three branches that check and balance each other to maximize the freedom of its citizens. They have formed a nation that empowers the individual instead of the state.
Tragically, Americans seem oblivious to these tenets that make up our country.
Our nation has been far from perfect, but the genius of our basic constitutional framework is that we do have the power to change it. Hopefully, we continue to do so without neglecting our foundation.
Our founders have based our society on Judeo-Christian values that uphold the individual and the rule of law. So, when we celebrate the 4th of July, let’s not just celebrate BBQ ribs, potato salad, and hot dogs…
Let’s celebrate the fact that we live in the greatest nation on Earth and let’s work hard to keep it that way!

Celebrate Independence Day with “America the Beautiful”
Written by Katharine Lee Bates and composed by Samuel A. Ward, “America the Beautiful” is one of the most well-known and beloved American patriotic songs. The song, sung by the Hillsdale College Choir in this video, celebrates the natural beauty and the “patriot dream” of the United States.
Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.”

TRUMP 2020: President Trump Re-Election Campaign Rally – FULL SPEECH
A must read, especially since its written by a 26 year old.
This article was written by a college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who’s in grad school for her MBA.
“College Student: My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity around Us”
I’m sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of political candidates calling for policies to “fix” the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook’s, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we’ve become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose. These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don’t give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty. One. Times. Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful.
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, “An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity.”
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I’ve ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let’s just say I didn’t have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they’ve never seen prosperity, and as a result, elect politicians dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why?
The answer is this, my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn’t live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don’t know what it’s like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don’t have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it’s spreading like a plague.

ARLINGTON CEMETERY
Question: On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was “How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns?” All three contestants missed it!
This is really an awesome sight to watch if you’ve never had the chance. Fascinating. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why? 21 steps: It alludes to the twenty-one-gun salute which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.
2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why? 21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1.
3. Why are his gloves wet? His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his
grip on the rifle.
4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and, if not, why not? He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.
5. How often are the guards changed? Guards are changed every thirty minutes,
twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
6.
What are the physical traits of the guard limited to? For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5′ 10′ and 6′ 2′ tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30. They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin. The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror. The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where
they are interred. Among the notables are:President Taft,
Joe Lewis {the boxer}
Medal of Honor winner Audie L. Murphy, the most decorated soldier of WWII and of Hollywood fame.
Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.
ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington, DC, our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They respectfully declined the offer, “No way, Sir!” Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a service person. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.God bless them all!

John Solomon: FBI Played ‘Political Dirty Trick’ on Donald Trump over Alleged Russia Collusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUM7NjEmc5Q
CBS SUNDAY MORNING… (BEN STEIN) This is worth sharing
Remarks on CBS on Sunday morning.
A little sanity please… Only hope we find GOD again before it is too late ! !
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited
by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can’t find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my throat…
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren’t allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that’s a sign that I’m getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it’s not funny, it’s intended to get you thinking.
In light of recent events… terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O’Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn’t want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school… The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock’s son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he’s talking about.. And we said okay..
Now we’re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with ‘WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.’
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send ‘jokes’ through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you’re not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit.
If not, then just discard it… no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don’t sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.
My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,
Ben Stein

Word…by comedian Jeff Foxworthy:
Read the historical fact at the end….:)
Have you ever wondered why it’s OK to make jokes about Catholics, Jews, Christians, the Pope, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, the Hungarians, the Chinese, the French (including French Canadians), the elderly, bad golfers, men/women, blacks/whites, etc, but its insensitive to make jokes about the Muslims?
Well, it’s time to level the playing field and be politically incorrect, by including our friends, the Muslims, on this grandiose list.
So Jeff Foxworthy did his part to include the Muslims on his list …
- If you grow and refine heroin for a living, but morally object to the use of liquor, You may be a Muslim.
- If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but can’t afford shoes, You may be a Muslim.
- If you have more wives than teeth, you may be a Muslim.
- If you wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon to be unclean, You may be a Muslim.
- If you think vests come in two styles, Bullet-proof and suicide, you may be a Muslim.
- If you can’t think of anyone that you haven’t declared jihad against, you may be a Muslim.
- If you consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing, you may be a Muslim.
- If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses, other than setting off roadside bombs, you may be a Muslim.
- If you have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four, then you, too, may be a Muslim.
- If you find this offensive and do not forward it, you are part of the problem here in America…but if you delete this, you are most likely a Muslim.
HISTORICAL FACT
Who says building a border wall won’t work? The Chinese built one over 2,000 years ago and they still don’t have any Mexicans!

Civics Class 101 – Electoral College
The 116th Congress was sworn in, and all day long, the media was salivating and fawning over the “remarkable diversity” of the new Democrat members.
It was a day of “firsts,” we were told. It was indeed a day of many firsts. While the new Democrat majority offers many members of note, we wanted to highlight a few “firsts” who are examples of the “diversity” that was sworn in today.Here are the Top ‘Most Diverse’ House Freshmen…
#1. Ilhan Omar: the first person who married her brother – in order to commit immigration fraud – ever to be elected to Congress. Omar is also the first open supporter of female genital mutilation to ever be elected to Congress. Amazing diversity!
#2. Rashida Tlaib: One of the first Muslim Brotherhood-linked and anti-Semitic candidates to be elected to Congress. She also claims to be a “Palestinian.” And she knows how to swear. Tlaib quote: “Impeach the Mother F_ _ _ _ _ _ President” (First words out of her mouth after being sworn in.)
#3. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Let’s just say she’s the first person elected to Congress who lied about being from the Bronx, and thus, made up her life story. She’s an overt Marxist.
#4. Abigail Spanberger: The first substitute teacher from an Islamist school (nicknamed by law enforcers as ‘terror high’) ever to be elected to Congress.
#5. Donna Shalala: Rep. Shalala was HHS Secretary from 1993 to 2001 under Bill Clinton and worked from 2015 to 2017 at the Clinton Foundation, and in 2016 she admitted in an interview that some significant Clinton Foundation donors received “courtesy appointments” in the Clinton State Department. To top it off, apparently she can’t let go of politics: at 78, she’s the oldest female House freshman in history.
These are just a few examples of the “firsts” that the media has been celebrating. If you are looking for politicians who show an open disdain and animosity for American principles and values, you can always count on the Democrat Party.
The stupidity of the American people never ceases to amaze me. How do these losers get elected? If the media and the voters paid as much attention to them as they do to Melania’s shoes…..WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. SOUND THE ALARM!

The Top Ten Complaints from Book Reviewers – Authors Publish
By TN Wesley
What ticks off your readers? What would make someone never want to read your work again? Knowing this information can help you avoid doing anything to antagonize your readers.
To find out what rubs readers the wrong way, I combed through several Amazon.com book reviews and came up with a compilation of 10 common readers’ complaints.
- Unreal and underdeveloped characters who feel like stick figures.
To avoid this problem, Writers Digest magazine suggests knowing your character’s history (from birth till, now); developing the character’s attitudes, endearing your character to your readers and digging deeper to cover his or her motivations.
- Overly wordy prose laced with grammatical errors and typos.
After investing months or even years writing a novel it is reasonable to expect a writer to take time finding a good editor who will make sure the book is professionally written and ready to see the light of day.
- Dull, predictable, repetitive stories written in a confusing style.
One way to avoid this problem is to limit the writing of banal repetitive everyday things and instead focus on original and vivid events that make your character unique and interesting.
- Keeping readers waiting for a climax that never comes.
Readers expect a fiction writer to have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of story structure. The climax is that part of a story where the protagonist achieves or fails to reach his or her goals. It usually comes towards the end of a story. If a story has no climax readers feel cheated.
- Lazy writing, flimsy and unbelievable storyline.
To create a believable story, writer CS Lakin encourages a writer to ask a few questions: “Do my characters behave the way people with their backgrounds would normally behave in this situation? Is this their most logical response to the danger they’re in, to the desire they’re pursuing, or to the actions of the other characters? …Is this what I would do if I were in this situation?”
- Writers with no clue of human nature.
Some readers turn to fiction in their quest to understand human nature. They trust the writer to have a good understanding of humanity. According to the writer, Gitabushi, “…a writer must understand human nature, must understand the motivation, must understand how different people think, how they pursue their goals, what their priorities are. From this understanding, good stories arise.” A writer who does not understand human behavior risks losing readers.
- Unrelatable characters who are difficult to care about.
Our job as writers is to create lifelike fictional characters who think, act and feel like humans do. Once we manage to do that, readers can put themselves in our characters shoes and thus relate to them. Amazon.com book reviewers who failed to relate to the characters did not finish reading the poorly written books.
- Crimes stories which are too violent and obscene for readers to stomach.
In real life, as in fiction, ordinary people can only tolerate so much violence and obscenity. When writers take violence and obscenities to extremes, they risk alienating many readers.
- Politically biased prose.
When writing fiction for the general public the best policy is to remain objective on political issues.
- Poorly researched stories.
On this aspect, the writer Lee Allen Howard’s words clarify the need for fiction writers to do through research. He writes: “Although fiction is a product of the imagination, if it’s set in the real world at least partially, there will be some real-life things you must get right. This means being accurate with your facts.”
Before you submit that article, short story or novel ask yourself, “Is this ready to be presented to my readers?”

Can a good Muslim be a good American?
Theologically – no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia .
Religiously – no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam. (Quran 2:256)
Scripturally – no. Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran
Geographically – no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially – no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically – no. Because he must submit to the mullahs, who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically – no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Quran 4:34)
Intellectually – no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically – no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually – no. Because when we declare ‘one nation under God,’ The Christian’s God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran’s 99 excellent names.Therefore, after much study and deliberation. ,Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both ‘good’ Muslims and ‘good’ Americans. Call it what you wish, it’s still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.
The religious war is bigger than we know or understand!

A Jewish Boycott
A short time ago, Iran’s Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people.
In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:
“Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test is the discovery of a Jew. If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner.
“A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube.
Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil.
If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew. If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege.
Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate.
Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew.
Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the “Schick” reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick.
“Muslims should be ready to die in great numbers and must not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, work of Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Robert Baram.
They should continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine is a Jew, Jonas Salk.
“Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to die of Tuberculosis because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease.
Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other world-renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts.
“In short, good and loyal Muslims properly and fittingly should remain afflicted with Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Heart Disease, Headaches, Typhus, Diabetes, Mental Disorders, Polio Convulsions and Tuberculosis and be proud to obey the Islamic boycott.”
Oh, and by the way, don’t call for a doctor on your cell phone because the cell phone was invented in Israel by a Jewish engineer.
Meanwhile I ask, what medical contributions to the world have the Muslims made?”
The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that is ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the world’s population.
They have received the following Nobel Prizes:

The Jews are NOT promoting brainwashing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non-Muslims.
The Jews don’t hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, orblow themselves up in German restaurants.
There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church.
There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people. The Jews don’t traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world’s Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask ‘what can they do for humankind’ before they demand that humankind respects them.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel ‘s part, the following two sentences really say it all:
‘If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.”
Benjamin Netanyahu: General Eisenhower warned us. It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect: ‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened’
Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.
It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 65 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED’ because it offends some Muslim in the United States?

BILLY GRAHAM’S SON IS TELLING THE SAD TRUTH – NEVER SAID BETTER
“Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the
flow that has passed will never pass again.” Franklin Graham was
speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, when he
said America will not come back. He wrote:“The American dream ended on November 6th, 2012. The second term of
Barack Obama has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of
the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled
and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind.A coalition of blacks, Latinos, feminists, gays, government workers,

probably never again be able to legally comment on or concern myself

Abortion and Babies
From conception, s/he is alive. Abortion is murder.
UnPlanned Trailer – In Theaters March 29
The Official Trailer! Releasing Internationally Summer 2019. Streaming & DVD release fall 2019. Unplanned is the inspiring true story of one woman’s journey of transformation.All Abby Johnson ever wanted to do was help women. As one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the nation, she was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women about their reproductive choices. Until the day she saw something that changed everything.
Posted by Unplanned on Thursday, January 31, 2019
A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said, “Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I’m pregnant again. I don’t want kids so close together.”
So the doctor said, “Ok and what do you want me to do?”
She said, “I want you to end my pregnancy, and I’m counting on your help with this.”
The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady, “I think I have a better solution for your problem. It’s less dangerous for you too.”
She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.
Then he continued, “You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let’s kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we’re going to kill one of them, it doesn’t matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.”
The lady was horrified and said, “No doctor! How terrible! It’s a crime to kill a child!”
‘”I agree,” the doctor replied. “But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.”
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.
He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that’s already been born and one that’s still in the womb. The crime is the same.
Love says, “I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.’ Abortion says, ‘I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.”
>>>>>
Don’t like the term being used at all — infanticide. Too soft by design! We cide / kill plants and bugs. We murder babies. The U.S. has murdered more human beings by abortion than all that Hitler & Stalin murdered combined. Somebody isn’t happy with us! Are we now on the order of Molech, Baal, Ashtoreth? There is no difference in any of them; all from the same source. So, are we? Long ago nations used to place babies on a big hot iron furnace to burn them alive. As the babies were being burned to death in front of massive crowds the people made loud noises with drums to drown out the babies screaming. Can we not hear the drums of today? We are pleasing the same god! The goal of this “one” is to deplete all morality of humanity which then render no appetite to fight tyranny to become his slave. In the mean time, we just grow children like we grow chickens and sell their body parts. All the nations of old that practice baby murders no longer exist, but the prince of these practices still roam freely. He was in NY & VA yesterday. Christian values have not left us, we just refuse to defend them or even acknowledge the evil that is invading our foundation. Drums, Drums Drums!
I cannot do everything, but I can do something, and what I can do, I must do or my existence is as stone. Void and without form.

WHAT IF ALL ILLEGALS LEFT THE STATES?
Considering the Denver Post is a very liberal paper I’m surprised they published this. This really shows how the hiring of illegals is a false economic practice.
Tina Griego is a Free-Lance reporter for the Denver Post. She writes some really good stuff and she is a strong advocate for LEGAL Immigration.
What if they left?
Not Democratic, not Republican, not liberal, and not conservative. Just the facts by a good reporter!
What if 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America ? I, Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News have written a column titled, “Mexican Visitors’ Lament.”
I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said, “Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What happens to your country’s economy if 20 million people go away?”
Hmmm, I thought, what would happen?
So I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below It’s a good question…it deserves an honest answer. Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders. What would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America ? This may surprise you!
In California , if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico , it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.
It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone. Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. Denver ‘s 4% unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Chicago , Illinois , 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned ‘home,’ the U.S. economy would return to the Rule of Law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage.
Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.
No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids.
Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually and would vacate our country.
In cities like L.A. , 20,000 members of the ‘ 18th Street Gang’ would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
America ‘s economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to the aliens’ home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America ‘s economy which currently suffers a $20 trillion debt. $20 trillion debt!!!
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California , Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.
Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country – brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders. Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities’ greenhouse gasses.
Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California, in what the New York Times called, ‘colonias’ or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation.
The New York Times reported them to be America ‘s new ‘ Third World ‘ inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally in Texas and Arizona ; it’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)
We already invite a million people into our country legally/annually, more than all other countries combined- with growing anarchy at our borders.
It’s time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life. Interesting statistics below!
Here are 13 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:
- $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens (that’s Billion with a ‘B’)
- $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
- $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
- $3 Million Dollars ‘PER DAY’ is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That’s $1.2 Billion a year.
- 28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens.
- $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
- 200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
- The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US .
- During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border.
- The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.
- In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends.
13 The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States !
Total cost – a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!

LeBron James calls President Trump a “Bum” and thinks that Obama was the best. His fans listen to him because he has a talent for basketball and buying big mansions. The letter writer below, by a sports journalist, tells the truth and that truth applies to most celebrities on the left. A GREAT Letter to Lebron James from former Houston news reporter Hal Lundgren. People really need to know these things.
August 6, 2018
Mr. Lebron James
The Los Angeles Lakers
2275 E. Mariposa Ave.
El Segundo, CA 90245Dear Mr. James,
No one in my circles discusses French Modernist artists. That comforts me. Such a conversation would expose me as an illiterate on French Modernism, just as I am an illiterate on how to cook.
When I know nothing of subjects, my mouth stays closed. That’s at least one difference in us. You are an economics illiterate. You prove it often. The dishonest “reporters” who cover you want to be your buddy. They won’t embarrass you by being honest journalists and treating your words as economics illiteracy.
When you call Trump “a bum,” none of them will tell you that statistics rank him as one of our best presidents for black Americans. His tax cuts and freeing us from absurd regulations have resulted in — after only 18 months — the lowest unemployment numbers ever for Hispanic and black Americans, and one of the lowest numbers for women.
DURING THOSE 18 MONTHS, TRUMP’S POLICIES CREATED ABOUT FOUR TIMES OF THE MANUFACTURING JOBS CREATED DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S LAST 18 MONTHS. Remember when Obama mistakenly told us “Our lost manufacturing jobs are not coming back.” Maybe manufacturing job growth depends on a president who knows what he’s doing.
As a professional journalist, I cringe at some of Trump’s buffoonery, like repeating sentences and wearing us out with “great,” “fantastic” and other empty adjectives. He is often coarse. He was not my candidate. But there’s no question his policies have helped many more minority Americans than Obama. It’s not even close. Today, he’s working to free many black and Hispanic prisoners who, in his opinion, have been in prison too long for relatively minor offenses. Are you aware of that effort?
You need to look up Gross Domestic Product, adjusted for inflation, and learn what it means to everyday Americans. Learn what one GDP point means to employment, and see how Trump has kept the number climbing.
Your buddy Obama? In addition to being our worst foreign affairs president and worst military commander-in-chief, his economic numbers all deserved an “F.” He is our ONLY eight-year president who failed to give us at least one 3% or higher year of adjusted GDP growth. EVERY other president achieved at least one year of 4.28% or higher growth. Aided by Vietnam spending, Johnson had an 8.48 year. The best peacetime year — 7.83 — belonged to Reagan. and Obama couldn’t even score a 3!!! Look it up.
You say you would speak to Obama but not Trump? How tragically uninformed you are. Obama had BY FAR the worst debt accumulation record of all our presidents. His economic blunders added about $9 trillion to our debt. NO OTHER PRESIDENT EVEN CAME CLOSE. That indebtedness will fall to you and your children.
Poor families suffered most. Obama’s awful job numbers forced a record number of people to take food stamps. Black household income under Obama fell steeply as black unemployment rose. Look that up, too.
But the worst part of what Trump inherited is that Obama, like Bush and Clinton before him, thought bribes and sweet talk were the best ways to deal with North Korea. As the North Koreans neared being able to wipe out Los Angeles with a nuclear-tipped missile, Trump became the first president to stand up boldly to the rogue nation. Notice North Korea, because of Trump, has stopped launching missiles over Japan? Notice North Korea has released political prisoners? Notice North Korea has begun to return remains of U.S. Service members? Absent sturdy spines, Clinton, Bush and Obama could not approach those major achievements.
Obama naively bribed the planet’s worst terrorist nation, Iran, with what was supposed to become a $150 billion handout. Did Obama not know many of those U.S. Tax dollars would help fund Hamas and Hezbollah terrorism? Of course he did. He just didn’t care.
Remember the $800 billion of your and everyone else’s tax dollars in his early stimulus for “shovel-ready jobs.” Most of those tax dollars went to political cronies. He handed $500 million to Solyndra, a solar company run by boosters. The company soon went bankrupt. Our half-billion in tax money vanished with it.
Trump is often obnoxious, but people with courage can have that hangup. Obama always talked big, then feebly stood by when Putin infringed on Ukraine and annexed Crimea.
But Obama’s most cowardly move came when he warned Assad not to cross “the red line” in Syria. When Obama’s warning was ignored, which Assad knew would happen, Obama did nothing. Does that make him a “bum?”
It makes me sad that you, as someone with a national voice would be so ignorant of economics, and also presidential decisions. I encourage you to do more reading and thinking as you watch the nation’s GDP numbers rise and minority employment rise.
* Read about “Right To Try,” which frees terminally ill people to sign a lawsuit waiver and take an experimental drug that might not be approved for many years. Democrats fought this sensible plan for years because it would cost them donations.
* Read about a Navy Obama left to Trump that struggled with about half its carrier aircraft unsafe to fly.
* Read about Trump’s giving the VA the right to fire any employee who neglects or abuses a patient.
* Read about Trump’s courage in challenging, actually demanding that, NATO partners to pay their fair share rather than keep mooching off the U.S.
You might also read the wisdom of two of the world’s brightest people, black intellectuals Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams. They have written many books. Sowell and Williams’ integrity, remarkable insights and clarity of expression cause their common sense to soar off the page to readers.
Or, you could ignore vital Trump decisions and remain an illiterate on both presidential achievement and economics. If you disdain knowledge and keep calling Trump or any other U.S. president a bum, people will begin to wonder who’s the real bum.
Sincerely,
Hal Lundgren

2 Tough Questions
Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had
syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.
Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for?
Candidate A
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist
He’s had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in
college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Candidate C
He is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an
occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be our choice?
Decide first.. no peeking, then scroll down for the response.
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.
Pretty interesting isn’t it? Makes a person think before judging someone.
Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading…
Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember:
Amateurs…built the ark.
Professionals…built the Titanic
And Finally, can you imagine working for a company that has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year…
Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up yet?
It’s the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to
keep the rest of us in line.

“Subject: 319 Square Miles”
In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?
The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.
Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!
And…it’s been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation’s problems foment.
Well worth the 39 seconds to read? God bless America, the founding fathers, and President Trump!
_______________________________________________________________________________-
LLA charges a fee? Yes, it is still $500 per manuscript. If you are thinking this is not standard for the industry, I ask you this: According to whose rules? As an independent agency and company, I create my own contract and model, which is fair to both the agent and the author. Working strictly for commission does not pay the bills. 15% of 15% of $0 is what? $0. Even if you sell a MS to one of the Big Five, there are minimal advances and then you have to wait for them to earn out that advance to see any royalties. I have authors who are in that scenario; have been since 2011. It matters not how big the house but how well the publisher creates the book, then markets and promotes. And what about agencies who have contracted freelancers who charge $5k to edit the manuscripts before they even read them, much less take them on, without guarantee of acceptance. That is a racket.
A day does not go by that I am not working, no matter the day or time of day, sometimes upwards of 12-14 hours a day. If I charged per hour, I would be sitting pretty. Lawyers even have a timer on their desks or an app to track how long they work on a client’s case, and you see where that gets you. Broke. When I polish a MS, it is ready for self-publishing should the work not sell in a year. What a deal!
As you know, it takes upwards of three months to get one edited and ready for submission, then even when they sell, you have to wait years to see it published and making money. I have to pay the operating costs regardless. No one chastises freelancers who have no dog in the fight after they do a bad editing job and charge thousands to do it. They will leave you floundering in rejections from agents and, in turn, editors with no recourse. I, on the other hand, work for an author for a whole year and do everything for $500, and I am inspired and motivated to make it the best book ever.
For some reason I felt compelled to explain.
Jeanie

God Bless America!
SOME STATES (Maryland, Michigan & Arizona) ARE INEXPLICABLY ALLOWING MUSLIM STUDENTS TO PRAY DURING SCHOOL HOURS!!!!
IF THAT’S OKAY, THEN WE MUST DEMAND THAT OUR FLAGS BE RETURNED TO OUR CLASSROOMS AND ALLOW OTHERS TO PRAY AS WELL! IT’S PAST TIME FOR THE CHRISTIANS TO BOLDLY SPEAK UP & DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS.
When we get 100,000,000, that’s one hundred million, willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God’s help.
Become one of the proud One hundred million Then let’s get 200 million. It can be done just by sending this email to your friends.
Do the math. It only takes a single willing heart and a fed-up SOUL. God Bless America and Shine your light on Her!
In 1952 President Truman established one day a year as a “National Day of Prayer
In 1988 President Reagan designated the first Thursday in May of each year as The National Day of Prayer.
In June 2007, then Presidential Candidate Barack Obama blatantly declared that the USA “Was no longer a Christian nation!
In May 2009 President Obama dismissed our 21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House under the ruse of “not wanting to offend anyone”
Sept. 25, 2009, a Muslim Prayer Day was held on the West front of the U.S. Capitol Building, the site where U.S. Presidents have been inaugurated since 1981.. There were over 50,000 Muslims in D.C. that day President Obama dismissed our National Day of Prayer and now it’s okay for an event at our capitol for Islamists? I for one was offended. But wait, it didn’t stop!!!
February 17-19, 2015, a Muslim prayer was recited at the start of the second day of the White House summit on “Countering Violent Extremism,” but, oddly, no other religious text was presented during the portion of the event that was open to the press. Imam Sheikh Sa’ad Musse Roble, president of the World Peace Organization in Minneapolis, MN, recited a “verse from the Quran” following remarks by Obama administration officials and Democrat members of Congress.
Former President Obama boldly encouraged schools to teach the Quran for extra credit, while at the same time, we’re forbidden even talk about the Bible, God, pray, or salute the American Flag.
The direction this country was headed should strike fear in the heart of every Christian.
How refreshing and beautiful our wonderful First Lady Melania Trump was in Melbourne, Florida on February 18, 2017. Instead of the normal “pumping up” of the crowd, Melania chose to initiate the rally with the Lord’s Prayer. It sounded more like the start of a football game after the National Anthem rather than what we would expect to hear after a prayer.
Make a “joyful noise unto the LORD thy GOD!” The “sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity” of Madeline Murray O’Hair and ACLU efforts in 1962, “School Prayer was removed from the U.S. public education system by slowly and insidiously corrupting the meaning of the First Amendment through a number of court cases over several court cases should be confronted and reversed.
Worse than we thought
Interesting read of the state of Hillary
December 21, 2018 Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, MD, PhD
Everyone Should Read this. Slowly, and Patiently.
From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
A Grand Jury had been empanelled.
Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”.
Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared.
Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.
Guess who took over this investigation in 2002?
Bet you can’t guess.
Non other than James Comey.
Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?
Guess who was transferred in to the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS?
Your friend and mine, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner.
Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?
It gets better, well not really, but this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right?
Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005?
No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.
Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?
Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame?
I know, it’s a miracle, just a coincidence, just an anomaly in statistics and chances, Robert Mueller.
What do all four casting characters have in common?
They all were briefed and/or were front line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation.
Now that’s just a coincidence, right?
Ok, lets chalk the last one up to mere chance.
Let’s fast forward to 2009.
James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin.
Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, on her own personal email server by the way.
The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of the Hillary.
Like all good public servants do, you know looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians.
Now you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t, the People got absolutely nothing out of it.
However, prior to the sales approval, no other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow, gets paid 500K for a one hour speech then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours.
Ok, no big deal right?
Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.
Guess who was the FBI Director during this time frame?
Yep, Robert Mueller.
He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.
Guess who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland.
No other than, Rod Rosenstein.
Guess what happened to the informant?
The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.
How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?
Guess what happened soon after the sale was approved?
~145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal.
Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division?
No other than, Lois Lerner.
Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, nothing to see here, right?
Let’s fast forward to 2015.
Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that the Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server.
He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law.
He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email.
Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary.
Now this is amazing, guess who became FBI Director in 2013?
Guess who secured 17 no bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer.
No other than James Comey.
Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh?
Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and exonerates her.
Nope couldn’t find any crimes there.
Can you guess what happened next?
In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy.
They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury.
Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Homey is, James steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July the 8th of 2016, and exonerates the Hillary from any wrongdoing.
Can you see the pattern?
It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Asst. Attorney General, Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.
FISA Abuse, political espionage….. pick a crime, any crime, chances are…… this group and a few others did it.
All the same players.
All compromised and conflicted.
All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves.
All connected in one way or another to the Clinton’s.
They are like battery acid, they corrode and corrupt everything they touch.
How many lives have these two destroyed?
As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.
Let us not forget that Comey’s brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.
And,
See the person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies.
WHO IS LISA BARSOOMIAN?
Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.
Lisa H. Barsoomian, a US Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protege of James Comey and Robert Mueller.
Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998.
Lawrence also represented: Robert Mueller three times; James Comey five times; Barack Obama 45 times; Kathleen Sebelius 56 times; Bill Clinton 40 times; and
Hillary Clinton 17 times. Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.
You may be saying to yourself, OK, who cares? Who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman? Apparently someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court dockets (?). Someone out there cares so much that the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian. Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative.
Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. And, although Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is Lisa Barsoomian at NIH gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health. This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities.
It’s a cover, so big deal right? I mean what does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter. It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix …. and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the Trump team and the Russians. Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention?
BECAUSE….She is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE….That’s why!!

President Trump knows what he is doing… All the former presidents, Pelosi, Waters, and Schumer have been pro wall/border/crack down on illegal aliens. The only reason they are not now is they are JEALOUS. Plain and simple. Trump is right, they are wrong and they want to save face. In actuality, they are getting quite muddy and looking ever so stupid in the eyes of the world. My suggestion is for all of them to recant their evil words and actions and back President Trump 100%, unite this country, and show the world we are #1. Quit fighting him. He knows what he is doing. Pray for him and his family. He works nonstop for the whole world by making us great again. He is a numbers man and knows all other countries want to deplete the U.S. to make us weak. Cut off the leeches that are sucking the life out of us. Stop the illegal infiltration of our homeland. Put our families and children first. You do not want to leave your cars and homes unlocked so anyone can take them or come in. NO! So why would you let them cross our borders or stay here without permission to do JUST THAT. People who have no money will take yours at any cost – rape, murder, theft, free healthcare, driving without a license or insurance (have one run into you or kill a family member and see what compensation you get – 0), free food through WIC or other government programs, free education (we are already 30+ children to 1 teacher and many of those children do not speak English, so how do you teach them?), and the list goes on and on. When you come to the U.S., you come to assimilate, to become American, not to wave your old flag and curse this country. Come here legally, learn to speak English, our native language, take the immigration classes, and pledge the Oath of Alligiance: I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.
FATHER-DAUGHTER TALK
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs.
The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.
He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?”
She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”
Her father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That’s a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I’ve worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the conservative side of the fence.”
If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Keep guns away from crazies.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

California – LARGEST INSANE ASYLUM IN THE WORLD
By the LA Times
1. 40% of all workers in LA County (10.2 million people) are working for cash; and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.
(Donald Trump was right)
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals; they are here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in LA are Spanish- speaking.
10. In LA County, 5.1 million people speak English; 3.9 million, speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people, in LA County.
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States’ annual population growth, (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York), results from immigration. Also, 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
We are fools for letting this continue.
Windfall Tax on Retirement Income… Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people “you’re so darn stupid that we’re going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you”. Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words, tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren’t going to believe this
Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds)!
Alas, it is true – all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
This woman is frightening. She quotes… ‘We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn’t Marx say something like this?) in our country; and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest. (I’m not rich, are you?)
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as Americans.
(Read that quote again and again and let it sink in.) ‘Lower your retirement; give it to others who have not worked, as you have’ for your money. Send this on to your friends. I just did! This lady is out of her mind!
___________________________________________________________________
Healed through food.
Absolutely true! In pain for years (GI, joints, etc.), then God told me, “Let me heal you.” I tried to figure out what He wanted me to do; ate what I thought was healthy and took handfuls of supplements. NOT. Then He said, “Let me heal you with food.” Again, good healthy food, lots of water, no junk. NOT. Lying in bed at night I would pray for Him to heal me, telling Him I would cut out even coffee if it would help. He said, “Remember Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego.” Yeah, they did not eat the foods King Nebuchadnezzar sacrificed to the pagan gods, only fruits, veggies, and what God approved. Okay… Then I had to go to the ER because the pain was outrageous. All tests, including a CT scan, came back negative. The doc said I had all the symptoms of agent orange, which has the same chemicals as Roundup (which is used in the US for preventing insects and weeds in agriculture and eventually gets into our meats — cows, chickens, pigs = glyphosates). His last words before walking out the door with his arms crossed, “It is all about what you are putting in your mouth. Stay away from glyphosates.” Okay… I then went to my GP who agreed. She said to eliminate gluten, milk, and sugar for six months and just see how I feel. Well… Guess what? In less than three (3) days, all symptoms gone. It makes SENSE. Don’t try to put out the fire with more gasoline. If you don’t feed the beast, the bloating, pain, and fatigue will disappear. Drink decaf teas instead of coffee, water instead of sodas or fake-flavored fluids, and buy only from the perimeter of the grocery store and organic (non-GMO green label), hormone-free, free-range, and grass-fed. No need for hundreds of dollars in supplements, doctors, DVDs. Think of the savings right there. I have spent thousands!
Just stop putting the bad stuff in, actually get up and move (exercise, yes, walk more, take the stairs, park your car at the far end of the parking lot, lift your legs if seated), and stretch. But more than anything, trust in the Lord, listen for his voice. If He says, “No,” don’t. You will feel it and you will hear His voice. It is called conviction, consciousness. He does not want you to depend on your own knowing but His wisdom. Avoid processed foods in all the middle isles, except the organic/gluten-free section with whole grains, coconut, almond, and flax flours, Swerve or Stevia, and baking/cooking ingredients that won’t stress your immune system/GI track.
Eliminate OTC drugs (pain meds), which can cause ulcers, kidney failure, constipation or diarrhea and more, antacids, and caffeine. There are so many great teas that don’t leave a funky taste in your mouth or irritate your stomach (ginger crystals, peppermint, chamomile, sleepy tea for nighttime, etc.) The things you crave most are what your body has issues with. I love milk, bread, and cheesecake, but they are poison to my body. It has to be mind over desires.
To think a pill will override what you have been doing to yourself for years is ludicrous. If it took years to get here, like this, it will take a little while to get your body back. It is invasion of the body snatchers from fork to mouth. It is so very hard when your mind says, “Oh, one bite won’t hurt.” The one bite becomes the whole box and then guilt. The devil laughs like Ernest T. Bass on Andy Griffth. That one bite is a brick thrown through your window.
Read labels. MSG comes in the form of yeast extract. Sugar comes in MANY forms. Just because it is gluten free does not mean it is calorie free. Milk comes in many forms, too. Casein and lactose are just two. It also means all milk products: cheese, sour cream, creamer, ice cream, half & half, etc.
If you are having GI trouble or joint pain, do the elimination diet first. I quit dairy, gluten, and sugar all at once, but you can do one thing at a time to see how you feel. Heck, I could just be dairy, but I feel better without all three.
We are all going to die. No doubt. It is the quality of life that is important. Why live, no exist, feeling bad? You may be hit by a bus, but the days leading up to that could be excellent, not yucky. Quit giving the healthcare system all your money. Spend it on good food instead. I would rather buy organic than purchase a new house for my doctor, who really has no vested interest in me at all.
Like Bon Jovie says:
It’s my life
It’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
It’s my life

“American citizen. It’s a sacred name. Its sanctity attaches itself alike to his person, whether he journeys over the scorching sands of Florida or wanders in the deepest forests of our Northern frontier; throughout the Republic, or in his native state; in the bosom of civilization or in the wilderness of savage life; still he’s an American citizen.”
“So long as that flag shall bear aloft its glittering stars — bearing them amidst the din of battle, and waiving them triumphantly above the storms of the ocean, so long, I trust, shall the rights of American citizens be preserved safe and unimpaired, and transmitted as a sacred legacy from one generation to another, till discord shall wreck the spheres — the grand march of time shall cease — and not one fragment of all creation be left to chafe on the bosom of eternity’s waves.”

Sam Houston and General Lafayette on Liberty and the United States of America
Sam Houston and General Lafayette (an excerpt from I Am Houston by Syd Young)
Except for Houston. He escaped the house to watch the sun set, to see the first stars come out. He felt happy, despite the lack of a tete-a-tete. He felt alive. Thankful, and surprised at his life, his rise from no one to a bit of a someone, in five short years after leaving the army and showing up on Judge Tremble’s doorstep. How had this happened? How had his circumstances so changed? And yet, thank the gods, the stars were just the same.
“Ah, excellent, another star-gazer.” There stood Lafayette behind him, the French accent making him like no other.
“Sir.” Sam found himself inclining his head, even though it was dark. Then his mouth took charge. “Forgive me. I’m simple. It amazes me, how they are the same, the stars. They are so constant.”
“Ah, oui. C’est vrai. So very true. When I gazed at the same sky, as a young gallant, serving le magnifique Washington, I wondered, how can it not be liberte est vivant equality of man. How can it not be? And this Constitution, how doubt it? Des droits de l’homme et du citoyen.” He shook his head. “The rights of man, how can they be in question? Why, les etoiles, the stars, the night skies, do they not profess liberte? La liberte, elle est vrai. Elle est constante. Non? Oui, La Dame Liberte, vive La Dame Liberte!”
Sam smiled. He agreed with the great man. Still, he wondered. “Do you still believe in us, so much, sir? After what you’ve seen?”
He’d noticed the pinched French faces when they saw not just the perfection of the Hermitage, but the enslaved, the bent backs who made it so. The Frenchmen stopped, frowned, looked at each other, then looked down, upset, embarrassed, confused. An imprisoned man, even when free, can never fail to notice misery he’s left behind. Lafayette could never blithely overlook it. He could never play the game.
At Sam’s words, Lafayette grasped him on the arm. “Ah non, Monsieur. Do not doubt her, vous, le member du Congress. Why, you must believe her, La Dame Liberte, for her to be so. Vous est l’homme de guarde. Listen! You are the men who uphold her, La Dame Liberte. Je suis comprende. I, myself, I know. I learned this the hard way, with the tears and blood of my people, of myself. C’est vous! Vous! L’homme du Congress your body, those of you who serve the people, c’est vous who must defend La Dame Liberte et La Constitution.”
Houston stared at the beloved Frenchman, mind racing.
“Ah. Non? Non? You doubt me? Mais, Mon Dieu, mon amie! Vous est le guerrier, non? But yes, you were, we established this truth earlier.”
Houston felt his cheeks grow hot with a mix of pleasure and pain flashing across his face. Yes, Lafayette honored him as a fellow soldier, as a soldier wounded for his country.
His right arm was still stiff and practically immobile, except with the vilest of emotions. He should be proud of this and his other injury. But, walking with a cane before finishing his first quarter of a century, despite his best struggles, along with the stiff arm keeping him from hunting, these didn’t feel like badges of honor, even here gazing at the night sky, smelling the beauty of the country, with one of his heroes.
“Ah, oui.” Lafayette dug in his pocket for a little tin. “You, I remember from La Capital. I could never forget you and your love of your General, just as I loved my General. La devotion, tres bon. And yet vous est extrordinarre. In your moment of sorest disappointment, even though you wanted to fight, I saw you. Oui, je vous ai vu. When le General Jackson shook le Presidente’s hand, Monseiur Adams. Rein de vous. In my devotion to Mon General, I am unsure of my response. And yet, he would have.” Lafayette opened the tin and took a big sniff of fresh snuff, and sneezed three, precise and measured times. “Oui. Le magnifique Washington. Pour La Liberte, le fenatique. And Le General Jackson? He went and shook hands. He could have called La Revolution, non? But no. Monsieur le General Jackson, Il est pour La Dame Liberte. Gaze upon stars in the sky, and behold those in your flag, Monsieur General Houston. Constant, they must be. America is a new constellation, and her light must not go out. Vous comprenez? We soldiers think it is we who guarantee freedoms.”
“Yes.” Houston could not move, there under the stars, taking in the words as if from the best school master of all.
“Ah. Oui. Oui, mais non. This mistake, I have made. Do not make it yourself. Any military group can take freedom away. But no military can make a governing body act as it should. Not under true freedom. That body must always be willing to sacrifice its desires, its cliques, its seats, even its parties, to uphold the rights of the people. Without such a body, quelle frommage, the military knows only one way to rule. This you did, when you and Monsieur le General acquiesced to the election. Mon General Washington would have applauded you.”
Finally, Lafayette summed himself up. He pointed to the throngs of people following everywhere he traveled.
“They want freedom, non? They want to see the emblem of what their ancestors achieved. Non? They want their country to live to posterity. Non? Do not the crowds that follow me teach you anything?
“Listen to me, l’homme de Congres. America, she must survive. She’s the light of freedom to the world. She’s the great guiding star. When you hear my name, think of this. If you do, my purpose, I will have lived. Mon General, I will have championed.”
Freedom is not free. Do not take being able to do as you wish for granted. Put the United States first. It is just like the oxygen mask rule on airplanes. Put yours on first so you can help others. God bless America and God bless President Trump!

39 Seconds to understand the Electoral College!
It should finally put an end to the argument against the Electoral College.
Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties, Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, CHICAGO, LA, ETC.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of the country!
And…it’s been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation’s problems foment.
Well worth the 39 seconds?

MOST POWERFUL TRUMP VIDEO EVER – THE VIDEO YOU WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO SEE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A1b0g9EKO8&feature=youtu.be
God bless America! God bless President Donald Trump!!
In my mind, President Trump is a sign that God has not yet given up on the most powerful country in the history of humanity, founded on the basis of LIBERTY, which is embedded in every document in our history — the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, The Federalist Papers, THE CONSTITUTION, and the Bill of Rights. Just think what would have happened to us had we been cursed with another Bama or Billary? It would have been certain DEATH of a great nation and an insult to our fathers that gave blood and life to protect this GIFT. Therefore, we must drain the swamp!
President Trump may not be St. John, but he is my John; a voice crying out in the wilderness of a foundering world. The name JOHN means ‘God’s has been gracious and shown favor!’
Without a doubt, Satan is alive, evidenced by his snakes in our system. ‘But let not your heart be troubled. Greater is HE!’ There is NO middle ground! There never was! Either you are with HIM or you are not. President Trump is a man of God and a speaker of truth.
‘He who sits on the fence is not only an easy target but will surely develop painful hemorrhoids causing the nearby intellect to further diminish.’

“Fireworks & Freedom” by Bud Hearn
“And it shall come to pass afterward, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions…” Joel 2:28
What we have here is a minor 9th Century BC prophet projecting his prognostication of great blessings which God promises to pour out on His people in the future. While he probably did not have America in mind, per se, who can ignore the fulfillment of this prophesy in the founding and maintaining of our great land? And tomorrow we’ll again celebrate this blessing.
Soon the skies of our Homeland will explode in celebration of the birthday of Independence Day, a dream come true. It marks the 242nd anniversary of our Republic. But what exactly will we be celebrating?
Freedom, that’s what, fruit that has matured from the Tree of Vision nurtured by courageous men and women, young and old. These patriots pledged their lives and fortunes to fulfill the deepest dream of mankind…Liberty. The Declaration of Independence is the Word, the seed of that powerful dream, a dream that beats in the heart of every citizen.
What is Freedom? A chimerical wish-list envisioned by idle daydreamers? Some romantic notion devised by Utopian idealists? Hardly. The poet, Gibran, writes, “(Vague) and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end…that which seems most feeble and bewildered in you is the strongest and most determined…and if you could hear the whispering of the dream, you would hear no other sound.” Thankfully, our ancestors heard that whisper. Do we?
From what compost is Freedom conceived? Often from the exploited detritus of oppression, enslavement, tyranny and brutality. It seethes in obscurity. It endures beneath the turf of tyrants, despots and dictators. When it can no longer be suppressed, its collective voice shouts, “No more!” It then rises from darkness into a tsunami of unrestrained power.
All births are bloody. Travail precedes each. Ben Franklin and a friend once watched a hot air balloon exhibit in a field of France. The balloon rose slowly from the ground, floated over trees, and landed in a nearby field. Peasant farmers with pitchforks, ignorant and fearful, attacked it.
The friend remarked, “What good was that experiment?”
Franklin replied, “What good is any new-born baby?”
Freedom begins as a baby. But it grows, changes, dreams of its own destiny. America’s experiment with Freedom is older now, but no less vibrant. The baby is maturing, and it’s changing.
How does Freedom consist, hold together? Is it by milquetoast methods of submission to the winds of fortune? Or is it by, as Churchill said in England’s dark hours of WW II, “…blood, toil, tears and sweat…?” All revolutions and preservations of Freedom are achieved not by slick rhetoric, but by the shedding of blood. America’s experiment with Freedom is no different.
Is our dream of Freedom in jeopardy? Has it become a faded billboard for rent, cheap? A fast-food court of entitlements, tawdry trinkets and handouts to appease the masses? A nation of freeloaders and pilferers of the public treasury? Free everything…healthcare, food stamps, welfare checks, mortgages, you-name-it? Are we like drunks, sucking the dregs of the Dream at the bottom of a bottle of debt, celebrity politics and self-gratification? Scary thoughts.
Again, this year the fireworks extravaganzas will bring to remembrance Francis Scott Key’s words, “…and the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.” And that’s what we need…a constant reminder that the horror of darkness has not extinguished our flag, the symbol of enduring Freedom.
On Wednesday the Spirit of Liberty will blow softly in the breezes. Firecrackers, both real and symbolic, will beat back the night for a little while longer. After the parades, picnics, BBQ, hot dogs, beer, watermelons and heartburn, we’ll sleep soundly, nurtured in the comfort of Freedom. But not all of us.
Somewhere on a dusty desolate plain a soldier with a weapon will keep a night watch. Somewhere a baby will be born. Their lives will merge with old men who still dream dreams, and with young men who still see visions.
Every generation has the power to retain or forfeit this Dream and Vision of Freedom. Which will we choose?
But for today, The Dream and the Vision live on. Now, begin the parades. God bless America.
Bud Hearn

Old Post Cards
Courtesy of Eugene Lovett
The post cards are a piece of history, but the NARRATIVE at the end really tells the story of the current culture…..
While being a Helicopter Crew Chief Instructor, I’d go to Washington DC, with a few buddies almost every weekend. We’d do the Smithsonian and all.
On the way back to Ft. Eustis (125 miles), we’d often stop for something to eat.
One time, it was getting late. We landed in Falls Church, VA. We saw an old general store that was still open. We walked around on the old creaky floors looking for Frito’s or something? I came across, an old wire frame post card holder. It was full of WWII post cards …. Penny a piece!
I asked the guy, “How much do you want for the Post Cards?” He said, “A penny.” He explained that they had been there ever since he was a kid.
I counted them … 300 plus. I gave him $4.00 and I got the rack, too.
In San Diego , I sold a bunch for $1.00 each. I still have a bunch to hand down.
I know some of you are too young to recall these posters and WWII, but they were a part of my life and others who are now “older than dirt”. These are great. Pass them along, especially to your older e-mail friends. I wonder whatever happened to this kind of thinking.
I got a lump in my throat when I read this. I “grew up” thinking: patriotism, it is the AMERICAN way! I am glad to see that somebody saved them. The statement at the end says it all!
These were our parents. What in God’s name have we let happen?
I guess we are the last generation to see, or even remember anything like these!
Whatever happened?
Political correctness (or “re-education”) happened,
Lack of personal responsibility happened,
Lack of personal integrity and honesty happened,
Lack of respect and loyalty to our country happened,
Lack of being an American happened.
Did all of these things die along with common sense?
I for one am still proud to be an American!
If you are too …. Pass this along, so others can show their pride.

The Weakly Post
The Tongue is a Fire
“The tongue is a fire…and it is set on fire of hell.”
**********
It was a long time ago and far away when the Apostle penned this theorem. He was sitting under a date palm near the Dead Sea discussing women with his tongue-tied camel.
The validity of the theory was confirmed later that day when with a slip of the tongue he mentioned to his wife something about, “That’s woman’s work.” His tongue ignited a flame that burns in infamy to this day.
The tongue is a torch. It ignites. Sparks from words fly off and can set on fire the course of nature. The tongue is an unruly evil. It’s impossible to tame.
I learned this lesson the hard way. I was born with a forked tongue. It manipulated facts and fabricated untruths. I was five or six at the time. I had discovered some packets of what looked like candy. Like a dog, I ate anything. I remember exactly how the events unfolded.
“Son, what are you eating?” Mama asked.
“Uh, candy grandmama gave me,” I said. The deceit slid off my tongue like greased lightening. I didn’t even have to think about it. There I stood, drooling. Five packs of empty Rolaids wrappers lay scattered about my feet. The severe tongue-lashing and stinging switch-thrashing convinced me that the tongue was not my friend.
Tongues wag uncontrollably. They’re attached in the mouth but lack connectivity to the brain, clearly a flaw in the original human design. No doubt it originated in some mythic fruit tree garden. Sadly, medical science cannot correct the glitch.
Tongues boast great things. This is the main use of it among men. It becomes quite lively after vast infusions of firewater. The context of such wagging tends to be centered on exaggerated achievements concerning money, athletics and embellished, tongue-in-cheek youthful dalliances. Not necessarily in this order, and nothing believable!
Shakespeare made this discovery by accident while nursing a hangover. He passed it on to Polonius who warned Ophelia, “…(when) the blood burns, how prodigal the soul lends the tongue vows.” The tongue boasts more than it can back up. Ask any politician.
The tongue’s fire begins as a spark in the back of the mouth. It roars forward at warp speed, gathers a host of demons and exits the tongue’s tip with a searing flame…too late for a recall.
My friend Marvin, a renowned deep thinker, forgot to bite his tongue when his wife asked him how her new dress looked. His tongue betrayed him. His knee-jerk response went something like this: “It makes you look fat.”
“Just kidding,” he added, tongue-in-cheek. His apology was so shallow it was like trying to put out a house fire by spitting on the roof. Marvin now lives alone in Ludowici, thinking about what went wrong.
Last September was the anniversary of Einstein’s profound equation: E = mc2. It simply states that a tiny mote of mass can yield enormous energy. In fact, the nuclear bomb that exploded over Nagasaki contained less than an ounce of plutonium. Einstein made this discovery by accident.
One evening he came home, frustrated from thinking. The equation was eluding him. A stiff nip of rye sharpened his tongue. In his best Yiddish he snapped at his wife, “Velkh iz oyf varmes, eyfele?” Translated, it’s “What’s for dinner, baby.” E = mc2 came to him at the precise moment when the matzah ball exploded on his forehead.
Others have made such discoveries. I once remember commenting to my wife with a smug, silver tongue that nobody made banana pudding like mama. For some reason banana pudding has not been in our refrigerator since that comment. Such is the power of words.
Is there hope for the taming of the tongue? Nothing yet has been discovered that will mitigate the damage caused by this double-edged sword. I found this out again the hard way only last week.
We’re pulling out the Halloween paraphernalia. Among such is a sign board that reads, “The Witch Is In.” I show it to my wife. We laugh. She leans it against the pumpkin on the front steps. My tongue suggests we should nail it to the door permanently. Only a pitiful, “Oops” escaped my lips. Too little, too late.

Out there in the vibrations of digital arcana the tweeting tongue twitters…and the fires of hell begin to rage.

We see lots of pictures of wounded male veterans but women in the military get wounded and maimed too.
You may need to take a second, closer look though. The first thing I saw was a bunch of beautiful smiles.
Study this picture again. Let the story it tells sink in. These women and many others, as well as their male comrades, paid this price for our freedoms.
And, they did it for less than what welfare recipients are paid!!!
DID YOU GET THAT?!?
And a lot less than those over-paid athletes who choose to “take a knee” when the National Anthem is played!!!
They risked these injuries (or death) FOR AMERICA!
MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM!!! https://t.co/wbIjQ0ix4X

A way to help victims of Harvey
No color, no religion, no nationality should come between us, we are all children of God.
- Mother Teresa
For those who at a loss for what you can do to help those who have lost it all, please donate to the American Red Cross or Joel Osteen Ministries noting ‘Harvey victims’ in the memo line.
If you are able to shelter a pet or allow a family to stay with you until they can find accommodations, you would be the hands and feet of Jesus. These people have lost it all. I am unable to imagine my loved ones left in a nursing home flooded with water, my pets or livestock unable to get away, all my cherished possessions floating out to sea, my car or home under water, etc. Yes, I was once told by a wise woman whom I love dearly, “Don’t get attached to anything that is not breathing.” Well, so many have.
Pray, donate, open your minds to what is possible and just do it. Use the money you would have wasted on a lottery ticket, a bottle of wine, a carton of cigarettes, a dinner and a movie, the pair of shoes you did not need, etc.
Mother Teresa was so right. No matter our differences, we are all children of the Most High God. He told us the most important things we can do is “To love the Lord thy God with all your heart, your mind, and your soul, and to love thy neighbor as thyself.” If you were cold, wet, and without your home, car, pets, food, what would you need?
God bless you all, and God bless America!! (Remember, all donations to either are tax deductible.)
Where to Donate for Harvey Victims
In response to the outpouring of community generosity, the City of Irving wants to remind residents it cannot accept any donations – monetary or in-kind – for Harvey victims and evacuees. However, individuals can make donations to Irving Cares, The Salvation Army and the American Red Cross. * Irving Cares: IrvingCares.org * The Salvation Army: SalvationArmyUSA.org * American Red Cross: RedCross.org In addition, blood and platelet donations are in serious need by medical facilities. Healthy individuals who want to donate are encouraged to contact: * American Red Cross: RedCrossBlood.org * Carter Blood Care: CarterBloodCare.org; (800) 787-3621 Lively Pointe cannot accept donations. Please contact the organizations listed above for all donations. The city is currently hosting Harvey evacuees at Lively Pointe Youth Center that arrived via plane from affected areas. However, the facility is not accepting walk-ins or evacuees in private vehicles. Individuals needing shelter are encouraged to call 211 for a list of available shelters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Reflections on America this 4th of July
As I edit the manuscript Treason on the Mississippi by Jack Martin, and ponder the hell our great nation has gone through — all the birthing pains, learning to walk, to run, and to soar — I am reminded of so many great men, leaders and grunts alike. As in any chain, we are only as strong as the weakest link. “One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”
Many great, original quotes in this novel were profound for that era, but they can also be easily applied to us now. Here are a few I would like to share:
- “It is well to remember, some days are better than others, and there is a world of tomorrows.” — Bierce
- “There are all kinds of slavery; not all of them involve physical chains and formal bills of sale.” -— Lot
- “I bore it, for my father’s sake. He told me this was now the white man’s country, and that I should go to his schools and learn his ways, for it was no sense to wish for yesterday to come again. Still, it was years before I understood fully what he meant when he said it would take more courage to live than to die in battle.” — Major Parker
- “Sir, I mean no disrespect; but I would pose this question: if someone cannot resist the pull to treason, how can they be expected to show gratitude for mercy?” — Clay
- “I would answer your question with a question, Captain. If someone has once killed to no purpose, how could they be relied upon not to do so in the future? Well, Captain, if it consoles you, it may come to what you desire. If they surrender, most will live to see their homes again. But if they do not surrender, then I will maintain this siege until every, last one of them starves, if that is what it takes to possess Vicksburg. Someone must want mercy before it can be granted. Let’s hope that Pemberton realizes the hopelessness of his situation.” Grant took a pull on his cigar and grimaced.
- “Alphonso, there’s been cruelty and injustice since the Fall,” said Lot quietly to his cousin and friend. “You can’t solve it all; you can only keep from adding to it.”
- “This whole war is inappropriate, Captain. One can either jeer at the folly of man or go mad with the tragedy of it; I prefer to jeer.” — Bierce
- “Here, here,” chimed in the fidgety Sherman, who was constantly shifting about in his chair, thin fingers drumming incessantly on the table. “I’ve supply difficulties to attend to. Steamer with all kinds of things destined for my corps blew up today, somewhere south of Memphis. Only good thing about the disaster is there were half a dozen newspapermen aboard. I guess we’ll have the news from Hell by breakfast.”
- “There is a great truth hidden in those lines. People who commit treason seldom admit, even to themselves, they are so doing. They justify it by appeals to ‘states’ rights,’ ‘the people’s will,’ ‘the greater good,’ etc., and know if they are successful, they will be hailed as great men, not traitors. However, it is still treason in my eyes.” — Clay
Now consider how political parties and the media are forcing a united country to choose sides yet again — not North and South, but Democrat or Republican. Parties be damned! We are all Americans who want this country to thrive, not survive. We must think of it as our HOME. No one wants druggies, burglars, robbers, rapists, murderers, or terrorists in their homes, nor do we want them in our land. Extreme vetting is necessary. It’s hard enough policing legal citizens, but when you have those here you can’t account for, how can you? Look these words up: nefarious and malevolent. Those who come here and seemingly assimilate into our society with nefarious and malevolent intentions are not our friends. They are here to harm us.
In the same way, the media or celebrities that do not tell the truth (Walter Cronkite has gone to be with Jesus and he was the last true journalist) and assist in blocking, disrespecting, and hindering the president on every turn, is not a loyalist but a traitor. If they despise the USA so much, they can turn in their passports and leave. You are either with us or without us.
All President Trump wants is the best for us, just like President Lincoln did, who was determined to keep the Union, no matter the cost. We must adhere to the Constitution, which was founded in Biblical principles, support President Trump, and stand united against all evil, political and spiritual, around the globe.
We have come a long way for such a young country, endured many wars and hardships, but only together shall we move forward with confidence to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
- Jeanie Loiacono

I believe God wants you to know…

True Friends
“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” Proverbs 17:17
There are a wide variety of friends. Some are your friend when you have something to offer them. Others are friends as long as you ask nothing of them. Still others offer their support as long as times are good and they can share in your success. But what about when you fall on hard times?
One of the many benefits of difficult times is that it reveals who your true friends are! They are the ones who draw nearer to you in difficult times rather than moving to a safe distance. They are the ones who suffer with you rather than letting you endure your pain alone. They are the ones who would not think of you facing your trials alone. They are also the ones who believe in you and know you will overcome your adversity.
Think about the last time you went through a difficult time. Who was the first person you wanted to call? Who was the first person to call you? Who meant the most to you when you suffered hardship? When times are good, friends are relatively easy to come by. But how grateful we are for those friends who stick by us when we enter into times of adversity!
— Blackaby Spiritual Leadership, Shari Black

Memorial Day
Today we honor and remember those who have dedicated their lives to democracy and the United States of America. Although we see and hear from some veterans that are determined to keep those soldiers’ memories alive, there are millions of other vets we will never know of; names that are not on the walls or in history books, those who did not wear a uniform but supported our troops and defended our country. Some have not and will not ever come home. Buried in mass POW graves or at the bottom of the sea, their families have only photos and stories; nowhere to lay a wreath. Their service was not in vain…
Today, across this home we call Earth, we can go to sleep knowing we are protected in “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” — because of them. A moment does not go by that I am not thankful for being a child of our Most High God whose love endures forever, and to be an American citizen, a proud and humbling privilege. Yes, privilege, not entitlement. Servicemen and women have sacrificed all so we can be free. It is an atrocity for anyone with their feet on American soil to complain, defame, criticize, or terrorize ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave.’ Let us stand unified in blessing and encouraging our President, our troops, and The Greatest Nation in the World, The United States of America. God bless America!

EDITING FOR STRONG WRITING
By Linda Kasten, literary agent, Loiacono Literary Agency, and author of Castle of Cards
You’ve completed your novel, worked and reworked your plot, subplots, setting, characterization, point of view, theme—all elements required to create an alternate universe. Once you’ve done the heavy lifting, you’re now ready to tackle the real work: editing.
Editing can unfold in many forms. Scenes may need to be rearranged, paragraphs deleted, clearer settings rewritten, and viewpoints fixed. But what many writers fail to apply to their editing is strong writing—fixing the words and sequences one uses sentence after sentence, paragraph after paragraph.
What is strong writing, you may ask? It’s the difference between a writer and an amateur.
Lazy verbs. In today’s world, the search function on your software program will become your best friend. One of the most overused words in a manuscript is “was.” Reword every sentence possible to eliminate the words “are/was/is/were” and paint a more visual picture using strong verbs.
Example: John was the team’s best player and had a gift for fastballs.
John’s fastballs made him the team’s best player.
Present participles. When writing in past tense, do not confuse completed action with continuous action. Present participles used incorrectly detract from the meaning and from the action’s immediacy.
Example: Eliza was running through the field with her kite.
Eliza ran through the field with her kite.
Or even better: Eliza charged through the field with her kite.
Always look for the strongest verb for the most precise image you want to convey.
That/Who(m)/Which. Nine times out of ten, you do not need these crutch words. Use that as an adjective only, or use that when the sentence needs clarity. A writer might be surprised how many times that shows up in his manuscript.
Example: The wind roared so ferociously that the windows in the dining room flew open.
The wind roared so ferociously the windows in the dining room flew open.
The man who is training for the job scored well on the test.
The man training for the job scored well on the test.
Gestures: Keep body language to a minimum when using dialogue. No need for smiling, nodding, shrugging, looking, eyebrow raising, head shaking, sighing, etc. There’s nothing interesting about them unless you are unable to convey body language through the dialogue. Sometimes action with dialogue adds more drama and serves as a better choice. Breathe, inhale, exhale, and adrenaline are also becoming redundant in writing. Describe emotions more creatively.
Speaking of Dialogue: Minimize dialogue tags. When two characters chat back and forth, you can limit the use of ‘she said,’ ‘he said.’ Also, inserting action to break up dialogue provides a better option.
Example: “That was a great show,” said Margaret.
“It was entertaining,” said John.
Margaret asked, “Would you like to hang out a bit?”
“I don’t have to get home just yet,” John answered. “I’m game.”
“How about some pizza?” asked Margaret.
“That was a great show,” said Margaret.
John stuffed his cell phone into his pocket. “It was entertaining.”
“Would you like to hang out a bit?”
“I don’t have to get home just yet. I’m game.”
“How about some pizza?”
Also, be stingy on addressing characters in dialogue. When we speak, we do not say:
Example: “Well, John, what did you think about the show?”
“It was entertaining, Margaret.”
“John, would you like to hang out a bit?”
“I don’t have to get home just yet. I’m game, Margaret.”
Etc.
It is reasonable to have a name addressed occasionally in dialogue to remind the reader who is speaking, but when the reader knows which character is speaking, it is not necessary to have one character address another in every statement. Be frugal.
Delete Redundancies: Past history, sky above, hung down, ceiling overhead, whispered softly, end result, etc. You’d be surprised how many of these combinations invade a manuscript.
Be Specific: Whenever the opportunity arises for improved descriptions, use specific images. Instead of saying dog, name a breed. Instead of car, tell us the make.
‘Of’ phrases: Another fun task for your computer search is checking your manuscript for of the and make them possessive.
Example: The arc of the rainbow showed four pastel colors.
The rainbow’s arc showed four pastel colors.
However, avoid double possessives – grandma’s cat’s food bowl.
Would: Whenever depicting habitual action, use the past tense rather than would.
Example: Each afternoon, Aunt Bev would fix tea and cookies.
Each afternoon, Aunt Bev fixed tea and cookies.
Appear to/seem to: These are weakeners. Reword you sentence.
Example: The sun appeared to shake in the sky.
The sun shook in the sky.
The sun seemed to shake in the sky.
The sun shook in the sky.
There was/there were: Eliminate sentence structures using there was and there were.
Example: There were doves flying in the sky.
Doves flew in the sky.
Adverbs: Most writers have heard strong verbs can do a better job than using adverbs.
However, an o casional “ly” word is fine where appropriate. Adverbs to ax from your sentences as they will never be missed are: very, actually, totally, completely, absolutely, definitely, certainly, perfectly, probably, basically, literally, virtually, etc.
More Qualifiers and Vague Words: Eliminate these unnecessary words: a bit, a little, fairly, highly, just, kind of, mostly, pretty, quite, rather, really, slightly, so, somewhat, sort of, some, interesting, almost.
Prepositional phrases: When using out of, you do not always need of. All of the should be all the and sometimes just all. The same for off of; remove of.
Examples: He went out of the door.
He went out the door.
He went all of the way to the store.
He went all the way to the store.
He took the pot off of the stove.
He took the pot off the stove.
Also, prepositions and conjunctions are described as glue words. If your sentence word count contains more than 45% of these glue words, time to rework it.
Body Parts: This is a fun one, right? Never have body parts act on their own.
Examples: Her hand waved.
She waved her hand.
Her eyes fell on the page in front of her.
Her gaze fell on the page in front of her.
Began to/Started to: Your characters shouldn’t begin to or start to do anything unless a specific task requires.
Examples: She began to cry.
She cried.
He started to brush the dog.
He brushed the dog.
Sentences Beginning with It: Limit referring to everything as “it.” Using specific words or word variations provide clearer images.
And and But: Starting sentences with and or but isn’t necessary unless used to create a specific effect.
The and A: These two articles are not always necessary either, especially when using plural words that qualify as ambiguous.
Examples: The rats scampered from the house.
Rats scampered from the house.
A joy came over her.
Joy came over her.
Other words that prevent your reader from connecting to your characters are: Wonder, ponder, think, thought, feel, felt, understand, realize, decide, know. When in limited third person, the reader knows who is speaking and understands the character is thinking, feeling, realizing, etc. The reader doesn’t need the intrusive reminders.
The following list (although some have been mentioned above), are words for search and replace: A little, almost, anyway, at the present time, began to, by means of, certainly, considering the fact that, definitely, even, exactly, fairly, in order to, in spite of the fact that, in the event that, is/was/were/are, just, perfect, perhaps, probably, proceeded to, owing to the fact, quite, rather, real, really, seem, slightly, so some, somewhat, sort of, start/started to, such, that, the, usually, very, which, who.
Redundant words: Two-wheeled bicycle, 6 a.m. in the morning, absolutely perfect, blistering hot, climbed up the stairs, crept slowly, drop down, eased slowly, exact same, fall down, long-necked giraffe, long-lasting durability, nodded his head, ran quickly, red in color, rise up, rose to her feet, sat down, shrugged his shoulders, small leprechaun, stomped heavily, stood to his full height, stood up, terribly bad, the reason why, tiptoed quietly.
In summary, nailing strong writing takes much more than listed above, but this provides a solid beginning. As a writer tackles these writing ‘tricksters,’ he’ll soon find himself subconsciously avoiding or replacing them. When the end is typed on the final page, he will also notice his writing has advanced to another level and will garner more agent interest. Strong writing and strong stories make for smooth reading.

Hire a Freelancer or LLA? by Jeanie Loiacono
The question of whether to hire a freelance editor or not has been posed to me so many times. It is a matter of how much work needs to be done on the manuscript and how much money you wish to invest before you submit to an agency. Or should you submit it to LLA and let them edit and sell your book to a traditional publisher? Ahhh, that may be the answer.
The difference between a writer and an author is publication. The difference between an agent and a freelancer is the agent has a vested interest (long-term) in the author and their work(s). Freelancers get the money and run! No matter what kind of quality job was done, they are done. LLA is not just a literary agency. On top of submitting your work(s), negotiating a publishing contract, helping authors and publishing houses reach an agreement on editing or cover issues, and providing mentoring for an author, LLA agents “shepherd” every author and manuscript indefinitely—marketing, publicity, moral support, attending book signings and conferences with the author, and personally promoting LLA books.
I have had so many manuscripts submitted to me that were great concepts, but the writing needed major editing. Major is when you cannot get through a sentence without fixing something. This is a sure sign the writer did not proof or polish, much less had anyone with a keen eye for English grammar or literature proof it for them. After working on a manuscript for years, you tend to have an anxiety attack at the thought of having to read it again or rewrite. Works have been known to sit in desk drawers for forty years due to this, or fear of rejection.
If truly interested in having your ‘baby’ published, you have to make sure it is ready for Pre-K first. Yes, there are many steps to becoming an author. When good enough, it has to be submitted to an agency to be taken seriously. Agents are the ‘gatekeepers’ who vet the manuscripts and make sure they meet all the criteria before taking it on, then submit to publishers on behalf of the writer. Most do not take submissions from authors directly. If they did, what a bottleneck that would be!
There are competent, honest, well-educated, freelance editors, then there are the con artists. Hard to distinguish sometimes, especially when then send you an impressive CV. The proof is in the pudding, though. I have only a handful I recommend because they have proven themselves worthy. Others have taken authors for an expensive ride, charging $1200-$5000 to edit a manuscript. Outrageous!
I recently had an author submit a manuscript that needed a good deal of work. I sent him to a freelancer who charged him $2500 to ‘edit’ his manuscript. OMGOSH!! I just finished re-editing it and it took me over a month! It is now ready for submissions. That freelancer will not be taking advantage of anymore LLA authors. You can count on that!
The good ones know what is expected. They read the agency submission guidelines and know what the industry standards are. When I get one they’ve edited, I only have to read and double-check. This expedites the whole process.
So, you send it to LLA, then what? If it is a genre and topic that we take and it is unique, (no other titles or similar topics out there) we put it in queue. It is when we pull it up and actually delve into the content do we see what the writer is capable of; what potential the work has. Will it be fine as is with a bit of tweaking here and there? Is it something that will sell and, hopefully, sell big? Is it worth a month of my time getting it polished? Is the writer worth the time? There are great works and sorry writers, great writers and sorry works, and then there is the ultimate, great writers with great works. Of course, there is always the possibility that you have the latter, and, when you get them acquired by a publisher, then they nut up on you. Oh, boy! They grow an ego and think they no longer need you or that their work is good enough as is. This causes massive issues with the agency and publisher.
Most agency contracts cover this as their contracts are contingent upon the publisher’s contract, which is 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 years, for the copyright of the book, until sales are less than 100 books a year, the publisher cancels contract, or the publisher goes out of business. If the author refuses to do what is required of them, the publisher may or may not cancel, but the one who is the most affected is the author and subsequently the agent, since agencies only get 15% of the net. What is 15% of $0? See? It is a collaborative effort when it comes to a successful book.
The bottom line is this: send it to us first! Let us work with you on making it a marketable manuscript. If it does need extensive work, together we will make it a great book.

Submissions – Not as hard as you may think…by Jeanie Loiacono
After being an agent for nearly ten years, I have seen quite a few submissions. Some budding authors actually read the LLA Submission Guidelines, but the majority do not. The Submission Guidelines page starts with this:
Below are templates of how we wish to have submissions sent to us. Those not submitted according to the guidelines will not be read until submitted correctly. Please read all the way to the end for helpful information.
You may send all submissions to Jeanie Loiacono @ [email protected] or peruse our agents to see what their genre preference is and submit to them directly.
The query in the body of the email. Must include complete contact information (legal name/pseudonym, address, phone number(s), email(s), and website), title, word count, book blurb, and short author bio (pertinent literary history only).
Synopsis as a Word doc attachment Times New Roman 12 pt. – one-page, single-spaced, beginning, middle, and end.
Complete manuscript as a Word doc attachment Times New Roman 12 pt. double-spaced – formatted per the below LLA submission guidelines, proofed, and spellchecked.
It is not complicated nor hard to understand. If anyone has questions on how to do an attachment, a Word doc. or how to copy n paste, ask a teenager. Good golly, they know more about computers than any adult ever will. The rest of the page gives detailed instructions should this be your first rodeo (pun intended, this is Texas). I am even going to give you a priceless tool: a conversion link. You can convert any doc or pic to whatever and as many you want for FREE. http://pdf2doc.com/
There are many important things to remember:
- Professionalism at all times (in person, on the phone, or in emails)
- Proof your work no matter what it is
- Research what the agents are interested in
- Go to the library or book store and see what is selling and how the books look inside and out. Take a notebook!
- Look at the examples of how LLA wants it done. This is standard in the industry, so it would be good for anyone after you do it once. Save everything.
- Send the submission and wait for a response. We will reply to your email by either an email saying it is in queue to be reviewed or rejected. If rejected, it is because of one or all of the above.
- Be patient. It takes upwards of a week to read and edit a well-written manuscript; sometimes three months for one we are interested in that needs a ton of work. (Yes, we do a full edit. We work with the author to ensure it is as good as we can get it before submitting to publishers.) LLA’s policy is that the established LLA authors who have sequels have priority. Publishers are waiting on those manuscripts and we have to go through them first so the publisher does not receive an unpolished work.
- When we do take one on, all of the prerequisites have to be met before the submission package can be completed.
So, it is a long process. Patience is a virtue that must be cultivated, encouraged, and utilized.
Keep writing!

Creating Mood Within a Novel’s Setting by Johnnie Bernhard
Emotional impact may be created within the setting of a novel by the simple rule that environment affects people. Mood may be created through weather, typography, even the age of a building or a home. In writing A Good Girl, I often used the emotional and physical impact of a hurricane to create mood within the setting. As a life-long resident of the Gulf Coast, I am all too familiar with what a hurricane can do. As a child, my grandmother told me stories about the hurricanes that wreaked havoc in Calhoun County in South Texas. I used her stories combined with historical facts to write the following scene in Chapter Six of A Good Girl.
“The white head stone of Anna Grace was never meant to last, nor was the town of Indianola, Texas. The bones of the little Irish girl were washed to sea on August 20, 1886, when a 150-mph hurricane made landfall. What the howling winds did not blow away, a fifteen-foot storm surge from Matagorda Bay drowned. To ensure all traces of man were swept clean from the port city forever, a fire roared through the remaining buildings, trapping citizens in two story structures and burning them alive. The recently built school by the Sisters of Mercy of New Orleans disappeared in a frenzy of wind and water. All that remained of the town were snakes and bloated bodies hanging from broken trees.”

RIGHTS OR ENTITLEMENT? by Jeanie Loiacono
Obama did this? He should have been impeached.
It is an atrocity to burn the American flag. It stands for the country we live in and love; that some, me being one, served to protect– military and law enforcement. You should stand up at attention and salute it or put your hand on your heart. So many have died and continue to die so you in the publishing world can sling venom then go home and sleep safe and secure. There would be no ‘freedom of speech’ without a “United States of America, for which we stand UNDER GOD, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” It is not a right nor freedom of speech to destroy property, hurt innocent people, or be rude and disrespectful to President Trump.
Leave this country and see what you have to protect you, a United States Passport, which gives you ‘rights’ as a US Citizen. Most of you reading this have been abroad and had to come back through customs. How did it feel to have your passport scanned and stamped, then walk FREELY through to go home to your two-car garages, protected by our military and police, whom you now spit on with your words, hiding behind ‘freedom of speech’?
If you are driving the speed limit, there is no fear of a ticket. If you are in or coming to the USA legally with nothing nefarious to hide, there is NO FEAR. Only someone who is doing wrong should fear the law. Others should respect it. Respect and uphold God’s laws and the laws of the United States of America! All the celebrities and protesters should let illegals and refugees live with them, in their homes, with their children; feed them, clothe them, give them their beds, transportation, help get their green cards, and be here legally. AND IF they are not who they say they are and rape your wife, stab your husband, molest your children, steal your car and run over a crowd of people or use it to blow up a building, and then laugh at what is left of your family, you will SCREAM for President Trump to do something. Well, he has already seen this happen and is doing something NOW. God bless President Trump and all those who love and support him.
I do not think President Trump has the time to read some of the smut novels that are being published today. The man barely has time to sleep. As a literary agent, I see what is being accepted; immoral, hedonistic fodder. Why would he waste his time with that when he has to protect this country; not from Muslims, Christians, or any other religion, but from evil criminals hiding behind those monikers, blowing up innocents and pitting nations against nations. They do not care who gets hurt as long as they get their 15 minutes of fame and are brought up time and again for killing however many by the media. The more destruction, the more famous they are.
Trump stands for TRUTH, which the media seems to know nothing of. I bet Walter Cronkite is disgusted with it all, watching from Heaven, right alongside the founding fathers, shaking their heads, saying, “They know not what they do,” just as Jesus said to the Pharisees.
President Trump is finally doing what needs to be done. We must support him. We must unite as Americans, build the wall, vett all incoming, and “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
Building a wall is not wrong. Do you lock your car, your house? Do you have a security system? Would you leave it all open and allow anyone to use it? NO. Why would we do that with our country? We founded this country on our freedoms, but to keep them we have to protect them. To protect them, we have to have a strong military and borders. To have that security, we must have a wall to the south and even north eventually, and those coming in this country must be checked thoroughly. If you are concerned with the veterinarian you use for your pet, the boy your daughter dates, the person who washes your car, the doctors who treat you, then you should be CONCERNED with the terrorists coming into this country; some of which may pose as your innocent neighbor. They do not have to have dark hair and eyes nor come from one of the five countries under scrutiny. You are all smart people. Use your common sense. President Trump would never do anything to harm us, for if he did, he would be harming himself and his family. No good father would do that to their child, nor would he do that to this country.
No one is holding you here as a hostage. Anyone can leave anytime. And if you decide to actually do what some celebrities have threatened to do but have not, which is leave, I would ask you to destroy your US Passport. Why come back when you hate the US so much? That is my ‘freedom of speech.’

Agenting in 2017
After being a literary agent for going on nine years, I have seen some great works with great authors, great works with shoddy authors, and not-so-great works with fantastic authors. Which would I prefer? The first, of course, although that is rare. Most writers must be molded and honed, creating people and works you can be proud of. Then there are exemplary writers whose quality wanes or good authors who learn from mistakes and create books like Monet paintings; timeless. The latter are much more appealing and shine.
As the publishing industry evolves, as it has exponentially in the past twenty years, so does the agenting role and model. It used to be that agents could work strictly for commission and actually put food on the table. That was when the quality and quantity of books were rationed, meaning you got more for the money. With self-publishing, a myriad of micro publishers, and small houses that are staying afloat while bailing, agents are no longer able to wait for the check that is six to eighteen months coming; no longer able to work tirelessly for a writer who expects everything for nothing. Who in this world works for free? Philanthropists and volunteers, neither of which are agents.
Loiacono Literary Agency has changed its company model/policy in step with the times. LLA is a comprehensive agency that takes writers and turns them into published authors; sometimes upwards of four months to take a manuscript from raw to well-done, then years to sell it. The competition is vast, so it must stand out as a sunny banner in a sea of gray.
It all begins in the mind of the author; their concept and ability to put into words, articulately and with flare, a story that draws you into the rabbit hole and does not allow you to escape until the final word, leaving you breathless and wanting more. The manuscript must be formatted, polished, and proofed by the writer and hopefully someone with skills in content, grammar, and punctuation. By the time it is submitted to an agency, it should be glowing. Yet, this is not always the case. If it was, our job would be so much easier.
That is where having an agent who is passionate about the job is essential. I have read of agents who reject great manuscripts because they are not formatted right, in the wrong font, or don’t have a title page. Poof! Gone! Deleted! Not at LLA. We review submissions on every level, beginning with the query. Is it the genre we are interested in? How many words? Is the subject unique? If not, is the story? Is the writing top-notch? Is the writer professional in presentation? Have they done their homework? Have they submitted per the LLA Submission Guidelines? Have they submitted in a blast email? How seasoned is the writer? How long has it been since they have had anything published, if ever? So much relevancy! So much to take into consideration.!
With endless energy, resources, time, and unwavering diligence, the agents at LLA—Johnnie Bernhard, Linda Kasten, and myself—spend countless hours on manuscripts in hopes of landing a contract for the writer. Then when a publisher makes an offer, we go over the contract in finite detail, negotiating if it is negotiable, always asking for the highest percentage possible, with the best benefits we can get. We work closely with the author and the publisher to ensure a seamless editing and publishing process. When it is time for launch, we crack that bottle of champagne on the bow of that book and start the marketing and promoting. As long as the book is in print, we keep moving forward, striving for bigger sales. It is never ending. One of my authors once said it was akin to spinning plates; you keep adding and adding and spinning and spinning.
There isn’t a step that we do not take alongside the author. The last three words are so important: alongside the author. Without an author’s positive attitude, cooperation, faith, work ethic, resourcefulness, motivation, and persistence, the book will not go far, even with one of the top five publishers. It is a joint effort on all fronts—author, agent, and publisher.
So when you submit to LLA, know you are getting so much more than an agent. You are entering a relationship with someone who has your best interest at heart. Your success is our success. We don’t contract a manuscript and say, “Next!” We do take on more, but we keep your plate(s) spinning as a member of the LLA family of authors.
I hope everyone has a joyous and prosperous New Year!
- Jeanie Loiacono, President, Loiacono Literary Agency
