Introduction
Welcome to my personal blog! Some of you already know me, and some of you don’t. But either way, I urge you to read this (very long) introductory post before you read the regular blog posts. It will lay the groundwork for various topics I’ll be covering, and perhaps prevent some confusion. (Affiliate Disclaimer) I’ve had a chaotic life with…
Christians Only (Update Aug 10)
Links to “Christians Only” posts will be in here. That will make it easy for those who aren’t interested to skip them, and those who want to read them will still find them easily. Every time I publish a new post in that category, it will go at the top of the list. Click the titles below to visit the…
The Forgotten Elderly
When my mother and I signed up to deliver Meals on Wheels, we told the director we specifically wanted a route where people especially needed extra help. There was a slum neighborhood with run down houses that they had a very hard time finding drivers who would deliver there, because it was so dangerous. Most residents were the working poor,…
The Story of Joseph, Mary and Jesus
So many misconceptions about the Biblical accounts; mis-translations, legends springing up outside of anything found in the Gospels. So little knowledge the average person has of the Jewish culture of that time period during the Roman occupation. We have to start with Mary’s pregnancy. An unwed Jewish girl getting pregnant! The Sanhedrin would have been well within the law to…
The Star of Bethlehem – What Was It?
People have different ideas about Jesus. Some think He never existed at all. Some acknowledge He existed, but believe He was just an ordinary man. Some, like me, know He’s divine, and He still walks among us. What most agree with, is that the letters and scrolls which eventually became the New Testament were written a few decades after the…
President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 8802, June, 1941
“Reaffirming Policy Of Full Participation In The Defense Program By All Persons, Regardless Of Race, Creed, Color, Or National Origin, And Directing Certain Action In Furtherance Of Said Policy” This resulted in people of color, and women of any race, being brought out of the “back rooms”, so to speak, where they had been treated as substandard humans. Now their…
Countering the MAGA East Wing Argument
Every time Trump breaks the law and tramples the Constitution, his followers make excuses for him. The White House East Wing situation is no different. From MAGAs: For more than a century, U.S. Presidents have been renovating, expanding, and modernizing the White House to meet the needs of the present day. The Information They’re Leaving Out Theodore Roosevelt’s West Wing…
What Do You Meme? (Update Oct 11)
Memes, memes, they’re everywhere! Some are funny, some are inspirational, and some are just designed to spread false or misleading information. As I find memes I want to feature, I will post them here. I will limit the number to about 20 per page. When this first page has less than 20, I’ll keep adding new ones to the top…
MAGAs Were Wrong About Food Stamp Cuts
MAGA politicians lied, as usual. Trump followers believed every bit of it, as usual. The left said: millions of Americans are going to lose food stamps. The right said: People will not lose their benefits. The left is scare-mongering. The left was telling the truth, and I hope MAGAs find crow delicious. Food stamp cuts will be rolled out in…
Social Issues the Far Right Doesn’t Understand
Stop Calling Me Liberal When I disagree with MAGAs, they call me libtard. This happens even when I can PROVE that the narrative they are engaging in is false. I am actually pretty much in the middle. But don’t slap a political label on me. I am a Christ-following realist. MAGAs accuse me of getting my information from liberal fake…
Christian Nationalism in NAZI Germany
On March 5 1922 at the Reichstag, Hitler made a speech. In part, he said: “The national regime seeks in both Christian confessions the factors most important for the maintenance of our folkdom…. The national regime will concede and safeguard to the Christian confessions the influence due them, in school and education. It is concerned with the sincere cooperation of…
Grief is the Only Response
Since I heard the news that Charlie Kirk died from the gunshot wound, I have been fighting back tears. I did not agree with his politics or social views, but he was a child of God, a loving family man, and he stood for what he believed in, as the Constitution gave him the right to do so. This type…
US National Debt
Just a few highlights of the national debt since the beginning. Maybe someday I’ll come back and make a more complete list, but I’m feeling lazy. NATIONAL DEBT BY YEAR AMOUNT EQUIVALENT TO 2025 DOLLARS 1791 (after Revolution) $75 Million $2.6 Billion 1835 Zero (Jackson paid it off) – 1860 $65 Million $2.4 Billion 1865 (after Civil War) $2.7 Billion…
Big Brother is Being Watched
George Orwell’s novel 1984 appeared to be prophetic – until it got stood on its head. Cameras, Cameras, Everywhere The first closed-circuit television system (CCTV), came into being in 1942 in NAZI Germany. It was invented by an engineer named Walter Bruch for the purpose of monitoring rocket launches at a safe, indoor location. It had no recording capability, which…
