Now, here is one tough lady, and she has friends in Orange County. This gives us all hope for the norther state of Mexico, California. Perhaps sanity will creep back into public life after all.
91st Johnson County Old-Time Fiddlers Convention------ 26-27 August 2016, Old Mill Music Park, Laurel Bloomery , TN This was just dropped on the Internet a few minutes ago:
Before we get to this hymn, I am going to ask you to use your imagination a little.
Picture yourself in London, England in the late 1800′s. You are a teenager struggling with your faith. It is a cold, rainy night. You are lonely, walking home after work, asking God to have mercy on you.
You are walking along the Thames River and come to the Hungerford Bridge to cross. You pause for a moment on the bridge, and look over the side into the dark waters of the Thames River, and hear a voice inside your head say “Make an end to all this misery!!” Refusing to give into these dark voices, you ask yourself “Do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ?” and you answer and proclaim “I do believe with my whole heart.”
This is the true story behind this great hymn written by Samuel Trevor Francis in 1875. Mr. Francis was a London merchant who was passionate about hymn writing and open-air preaching. After this experience when he was a teenager,
Mr. Francis spent the next 73 years of his life in ministry. As you hear about the love of Jesus in this song, I hope you key in on the phrases regarding the water/river/ocean, and think back to what Mr. Francis probably was experiencing that cold, rainy, lonely night in London.
For those of you that are familiar with this tune, I hope the background story behind gives you more insight into the author’s mindset, and that it also paints a beautiful picture for you of God’s great love for His children. Kaoma
It seems only appropriate that these dim bulb football players should not stand for the flag. Their President hates the American flag and refuses to salute it. READ THE STORY HERE Soon, individual states of the USA will get fed up with this boiling hate for America, and we will see states seceding. Good thing. Let's get on with it. California can keep the 49ers, and some of us will walk. For that matter, I would much rather watch a "futbol" (soccer) game from Mexico. At least they are not ashamed of their flag, and they have a horrible corrupt government and racial hate in the south of Mexico. Police kill people there just because it feels good. Please, you jerks de jour, how does insulting America help stop violence? Huh? Speak up, jerkawallah, I cannot hear you. So, it now seems in order to give the Dead Skunk Award to the NFL football players who hate America.
I asked my friend who has been a US History teacher what he thinks a Hillary Presidency will be like. These are his thoughts, and I believe he is as close to on target as any of the talking heads: _________________________
The Clinton years, if Hillary wins, will be very unsettling. I anticipate a more
deeply divided country, if that is possible.
Our nation is divided
between people living in the cities who suck up taxes and spend them as
entitlements AND the rest of the nation that grows our food, builds our cars,
runs our electric grid, and live a reasonable moral life. The Church is stronger
here, while the cities are a mission field.
I'm not sure that Hillary is
a hard lefty. I read her as focused on amassing personal wealth for her and her
key supporters. This will include Wall Street.
On the political front,
the nation will face a major crisis in healthcare. Obama has delayed, by
executive order, the draconian taxes on "Cadillac Plans." Obamacare is simply a
bad law and adding significant costs will bring it to a crisis. She wants a
single-payer health plan and she may push that through as the solution to the
failed Obamacare. This crisis will wake up enough of America to stack the House
and Senate with Republicans in 2018, much like Obama experience.
She is
hawkish on foreign policy and will face a frustrated military that detests her.
That will be interesting.
I really believe both Bill and Hillary have
significant health issues. Bill's health will continue to go down hill. I don't
see Hillary as more than a one term president. I don't see Tim Kaine as strong
as Joe Biden, giving Chuck Schumer more political power. I wouldn't be surprised
to find out Hillary owes Schumer favors and she doesn't have the stamina for any
prolonged fight.
Living in the White House, Hillary's private life will
become public and that won't help her.
Bill has an apartment at his
library in Little Rock.
A spiritual revival in the Church will harvest souls for
our LORD. Mac _________________________
Editor:
The Democratic Party leaders are in total denial as to Hillary's limitations physically. She is resting most of the time and doing few rallies and no press conferences. Once she is in the Oval Office she will not be able to hide from the world and nurse her physical limitations any longer.
Thus, she will have to appoint people around her who are both slaves of her policies but are able to operate alone while she becomes recluse. Such people are exceedingly rare. As Mac implied above, Chuck Schumer may become her knight in shining armor to drive legislation for her.
This will degenerate to what we see in past history when kings became limited physically. It will be a pathetic drama of the mainline media trying to cover for Hillary while Fox News tries to expose the thing.
Then again, Tim Kaine may find himself trying to do very fast catch up if Hillary simply collapses and dies.
We are in for some ugly days ahead.
I had a thought today that is probably insane and impossible. This is about the Second Amendment. Do you suppose Hillary will cave in completely on guns if the NRA pays Bill Clinton $100 million to burp into a microphone?
Pax Americana is fading rapidly. Turkey is toast, and Pakistan is rushing into the arms of Russia. Barak Obama has been the most disastrous President in my lifetime as to diplomacy. The most deadly aspect of this process has been the tenure as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. She is known around the world as a nag and a trouble maker. I have reports of my own on this. Democrats are rather famous as failures in international diplomacy. This is well known to any student of US History, that is, if they tell the truth. But, the damage done by Barak Obama and his arrogant bullying of the world will never be repaired. The world is walking away from us. Can Donald Trump reverse this? Yes, to some degree, but he will never get it all back. The world has liberated itself mentally from the US hegemon, and they feel free and will not settle for the bully tactics of the past again. HERE IS PAKISTAN HUGGING RUSSIA
The US State Department, beginning with Henry Kissinger, has viewed most other national leaders and Military officials as stupid Wogs and peasants. We are now paying the price for this arrogant wretched attitude.
And, what better place than Mississippi? Trump and Farage team up! I love this. I would like to be a fly on the wall watching the expression on the faces of Hollande and Merkel as they watch the speeches. READ THE STORY HERE This is a very strategic move by Trump and Farage. Both men benefit by this stunt. Trump will wear Brixit well, and Farage will wear the Trump hat well. It now becomes an international juggernaut, and if Trump wins, he has a fantastic foundation on which to build his new American diplomatic structure. Get some security on hand gentlemen. There is a female thug on the loose who has this amazing talent of causing her adversaries to commit suicide.
Can it get any worse then this? Can Big Nanny government get any more wretched? My advice to citizens of the world is to stay away from the UK. The spirit to nanny and nag the people is endemic in all British local government. For that matter, the UK IS the nanny state. PLEASE READ ABOUT THE LADY She made some very decent looking additions to her home, the city council told her they did not need approval, and then............... The council turned on her and told her to remove the additions. So, we at Balaam's Ass Speaks Blog want to give the world famous and oft coveted Dead Skunk Award to the Birmingham City Council. They are worthy.

Proverbs 28:15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
I believe the ark Noah built was real, saved the animals of the world and eight humans from extinction, and came to rest on Mount Ararat. The ark in Kentucky is a crock. If you watch the video, and if you have any concept of ancient tools and raw materials, you will see things which are impossible. The thing I do appreciate though is that Noah had a cafe and serve hamburgers and chili con carne. Presumably, Noah had a few extra beasts to use making the chili.
Again, I do not need the Kentucky ark, and the alleged ark being exhumed in Turkey is in the same category with me..... I only believe the Bible account. It is a sign of the sick mind and soul of Christendom today that people will only believe what gives them chills and thrills. If there were not evidences from archaeology proving the accuracy of the Bible, would you still believe every word and event in the Bible is true? 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Study. Holding a clay pot made in the era of King David is a rush for sure. And, walking the deck of a monster lumber yard in Kentucky certainly is a hoot. But, they are NO substitute for believing the Word of God alone.
Hillary has had no press conference for well over 200 days. She gives a minimum of speeches to small crowds, and between these speeches she has many days of rest incognito. Hillary is a perpetual health crisis happening before our eyes. Hillary is clearly a criminal with her email tricks and her combining of US State business with her private Foundation. She is the one who made sure Chris Stevens was slaughtered. Three key players in the DNC were murdered when they were going to witness before the FBI. But, the whole US Government is giving her a pass, and the majority of Americans seem to actually admire the murderous Jezebel. Meanwhile: Trump keeps busy having huge rallies. Now, here is what the media can do to elect a President: READ NOW THE MEDIA ARE WINNING THE ELECTION FOR HILLARY The reason I find this damning of the media is because the uber Liberal LA Times is pushing the story. So, get used to it. Donald Trump is running against: Hillary Clinton The Democratic Party The Republican Party The Neo Cons The Hidden Hand George Soros The press reporters The mainline media The IRS Can Trump still win? Probably not. The level of hate in America for Trump is more intense than for any candidate in probably 100 years or more. He is holding his own at the 50% mark, but given the Democrats open discussion of fixing the election, Trump does not have a chance unless he is willing to resort to murder, graft, and election hacking. The only way we can avoid the fate of the tyranny of a Feminazi Mafia in America is if Hillary has a serious health crisis and spends the next two months in ICU.
Something very evil is going on at this place which is supposed to be strictly a research and science entity. What does this mean? READ THE ARTICLE HERE?
You can call this anything you want, but Trump is handing out the goods to flood victims while Hillary is resting up for her next ten minute speech, AND Obama is reported to be having a monster party at Martha's Vineyard. The video says it all.
Free rolling with little choreography.... a lot of man to man. And, his security seemed scarce. Was he actually off of his leash?
While Hillary is puffing weed or sipping highballs.
JOHN McCAIN DOING A PROPAGANDA CONFESSION AND BLURB WHILE HE WAS CAPTIVE IN NORTH VIETNAM The man is a traitor, as well as a murderer. Two investigative reporters in Arizona died from being car bombed while investigating the real estate dealings of John MaCain and former Senator Dennis DeConcini. McCain video:
Nukes in Turkey are only one issue. The events on the border between Russian and Ukraine are spiraling out of control, and the US media has been told to keep total silence on this. THE TURKISH FIASCO ONGOING ESCALATION TOWARD WAR ON THE RUSSIAN UKRAINE FRONT
MY PREDICTION Vladimir Putin will NOT allow the USA to get the best of him. Also, Putin knows he is outgunned in conventional warfare. Putin can assume that China might join him in World War III. But, that is not enough comfort to Putin. Thus, Putin must go to asymmetric warfare, as he has promised to do in recent news conferences. He will use a high speed missile from China to deliver an EMP nuke over Nebraska. Russia has served notice that they are developing a flying missile like China's which cannot be seen as it comes at our shores. The only merciful thing we can hope for is that he delivers it over New York City and Washington DC. This would set the US back possibly two years in East Coast and governing infrastructure. The problem with limited strike is that the powers above in the USA would try to hit back with everything left in our arsenal. So, I fully expect Vladimir Putin to nuke the whole USA back to the year 1900 any day. Why should he stand by and watch the US Military and NATO virtually saturate the western border of Russia with nukes?
You read above that the nukes in Turkey are being flown to Romania. That will terrify Putin because the rumor is that among the nukes from Turkey are hydrogen bombs which are in violation of treaties in the recent past. The US Military has violated treaties for many years. Why should Putin count on the US to restrain itself? Thus, Putin is getting close to the point of the ultimate threat to Russian security, that is, the point at which Russia is virtually hostage to American fire power. I hope you are prepared for the shut down of America's power grid for at least three years. You see, in 1900, before electrification of the USA, 60% of all Americans lived on the farm. Today, only 1.5% of all Americans live on farms. This means that life after an EMP nuke will be far worse than going back to 1900. The vast majority of Americans live in large urban areas, and they know nothing about farming, nor do they have survival instincts. The present predictions by the official voices of government and academic life are that 90% or more of all Americans will die of starvation, crime, or sickness within six months. This is what God may very soon allow Vladimir Putin to do to the USA. He has the power, and he has the delivery system. There is nothing keeping him from doing this except his sense of Orthodox Christian restraint. He knows an EMP nuke over the USA will commit millions of Americans to death. He has stated over and over that he has no problem with ordinary Americans. His problem is with US leaders. I see no sign that the leaders of the USA, all parties and persuasions, have the mental ability to stop themselves from aggravating Russia more and more. The arms will keep building up in eastern Europe until Putin snaps and hits the red button. He has no other choice as I see it. Are you prepared to survive for three years without electricity? If not, you will die. Do you see now why the mainline media and all of our leaders will not discuss this march toward World War III? They know the US will be toast, but they cannot stop attacking Putin. They are terrified of what is coming, but they do not have the guts to stop the process. The mighty American bully is totally drunk with power, and only total destruction will stop the thing. One last thought presents itself. As the End Times progress toward the day when Antichrist arrives, men at all levels of society will become possessed of devils. This means that they will do self-destructive things, such as starting a suicidal war. As we wonder why men cannot see the peril of their actions, we need to understand that many world leaders are mentally enslaved to Satanic notions. Thus, before our Lord returns for his Bride, the Church, we may have to deal with demonic aspects in all areas of life. Let us be sure we are still salt. Let us refuse to give place to mad thinking and patriotic rage. This is creeping into many churches, and in the present era, patriotism is all about America being the great bully of the world. Bible believers must decline to participate. 2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
READ THE STORY There is nothing else to say. The Government of the United States of America is a treacherous monster destroying the nation and causing people to be sick and die. All US Gov agencies have the philosophy that killing Americans is cool under certain circumstances, mainly when a bribe is paid by the guilty. I lived in three Third World nations, and I must say, the USA is now on a par morally with any one of them.
Only two news sources online reported the threat by Turkey to confiscate US nukes at the US base at Incirlik. We may assume that the nukes are gone by now, unless the Turks did absconded with them, and the news story is a lie. READ THE STORY HERE The irony is, these nukes are from the Cold War era, and that means they were far past their shelf life. Why they were left in Turkey is a mystery. My source on nuke shelf life worked in that business and was informed of tests of nukes within their shelf life period, and when tested, 100% of them failed to fire. Most of our arsenal is junk, and most of Russia's and China's is very fresh and newly produced. Our big war ordinance is rubbish. But, there is more to this story than meets the eye. Putin just slipped a full sized Air Force base into Iran without our intelligence seeing it. Putin is pushing harder and harder on the US because he knows Obama is a wimp. Indeed, Putin may have the mother lode of Obama's back history which he is using to blackmail Obama and force him to pull back. Putin is, as I write here, massing troops on the border of Ukraine daring the US to respond. STORY HERE
Putin was not supposed to do this tit for tat move after the US posted thousands of missiles on the Russian border. Putin was supposed to roll over and pee on himself like a cur dog, But, Putin is there right now staring down NATO and Obama. What is happening? Answer: The USA is not mentioned in the Middle East for the prophetic events in the Bible as to the End Times. Knowing that, a Bible believer, cleansed of patriotism while doing his exegesis, knows that the USA will be cast out of the Middle East by someone someday. So, God is allowing the Prince of Mechech, mama's KGB thug, to stand down the USA. Our President and Military are very clearly wetting their pants instead of attacking. No one wants World War III, and Putin knows that all too well. So, he is pushing the US harder than the US is pushing him. You see, the USA is managed by the Hidden Hand behind the curtain, and their top priority is Wal-Mart and Shell Oil rather than war. Putin is uniting the Middle East to himself, and as he does this he is promising Netanyahu that he will not let any of his mob do harm to Israel.
This process has to be glaring evidence to the world that the US Military is mighty to the pulling down of Pootwaddle kingdoms. But, when the US is faced by heavy armor, they wimp out. Both Russia and China are standing down the US Military. This means the US is on the way to oblivion as a world empire. We may still be a hegemon, that is, the biggest pit bull on the block. But, as to Imperial power and dignity, THAT is all gone. The slop hog Mack Daddy from Chicago has been given to America to make us look like slime and scum to the world. Good. It is about time. There is NOTHING in this nation's founding papers which calls for the USA to be the world cop or the world bully. We have no calling to be an Imperial Empire ruling the world. This empire lust is costing us so much out of our national revenue that the old notion that taxes should come back to the states in improvements has been totally lost. Detroit can go to Hell, we must knock down another kingdom in the Middle East or Asia. Ezekiel 33:27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. We Bible believers need to rejoice that God is letting Vladimir Putin push the USA out of the Middle East, and we need to pray that he does not send up the EMP nuke out of frustration. We must NOT feel any national shame as God arranges for the USA to be destroyed as a world power. That is exactly where we belong in the End Times final game plan. If God lets the USA down slowly, we are receiving more mercy from him than we deserve. For the back story of this ongoing drama, see my previous blog posts: http://balaamsassspeaks.blogspot.com/2016/08/erdogan-or-turkey-running-to-putin-and.html http://balaamsassspeaks.blogspot.com/2016/08/total-failure-of-us-intelligence-in-iran.html http://balaamsassspeaks.blogspot.com/2016/08/will-turkey-start-war-with-usa.html OUR TURN IS COMING
The Inspector General was taken seriously, and private prisons will be closed soon. That is, if the Department of Justice does not cave in to bribes from private prison companies. We have all heard the stories of private prisons. There is NO "public servant" instinct in private prisons, as there might be in a government run prison. READ THE STORY HERE So, in all fairness, and though I have hammered President Obama for his many blunders and his racist Presidency, I must give him high marks for taking back prison management in America. To those of you who think private prisons are wonderful, just pray that you never end up in one.
Turkey is demanding the US Military at Incirlik hand over all the nukes stored on the base. This is the largest store of nuclear weapons by the USA Military outside the USA proper. The General at the base hosted the coup against Edogan recently, and this demand for the nukes seems to be a revenge action. READ THIS ARTICLE ON THE ISSUE The issue here is this:
If Turkey follows through with the threat and enters the base, the following are issues: 1. The base has terrible security. READ AN ARTICLE ON THIS HERE. Most personnel have been evacuated, and the war in Syria is very close to the base. VIDEO ON THIS 2. Turkey would be kissing NATO goodbye. By taking violent action against the US Military, Turkey would quickly be cast out of the kingdom of NATO and the EU. 3. The entry by Turkey onto the base and confiscating of nukes would be an act of war. Thus, America's chief Porch Monkey would have to decide whether or not to start a war with Turkey less than three months before he leaves office. The election campaign would be trashed by a declaration of war. This war would not be an invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan. It would be an attack on an ally of Russia. See other blog posts below for updates on Russia and Turkey and Iran coming together. So, you did not see this in mainline media, and you did not see if on Drudge. America is totally obsessed with the ongoing soap opera of the elections. The only question now it, does the US Military have a strategy to destroy the missiles and bombs as Incirlik? There are said to be hydrogen bombs at that location, though officially H-bombs were banned some years ago. If our recent bungling is any indication, then we may assume that any day now the Turks will have H-Bombs in their possession. These are the extreme monsters now considered far too horrible to use even in all out war. It is of the highest order of irony that Vladimir Putin could well be the only one who can prevent the Turks from moving forward with this action and starting World War. America may end up being saved from intense embarrassment and world rage by our sworn enemy. VIDEO ON THIS ISSUE This is not an official news source, but then, none of them will cover this. It is like farting into the wind. Any sort of coverage could come back to make the publisher look like a traitor. PROPHETIC TIMES ON THIS AND RUSSIAN BASE IN IRAN This newscast shows the utter incompetence of Barak Obama. Russia and China are now moving in and taking over the Middle East, and Obama has done nothing. Trump is not talking about it, and it should be dynamite for him to pound Hillary and Obama. Thus, Trump must be totally ignorant of the ongoing events in the Middle East. This tells us that Trump will be just as stupid about the Middle East as Obama was. He has no interest and no opinion on the ongoing ramp up to World War and the de facto evicting of the USA from the Middle East. Does Putin have all of Barak Obama's history AND all of Hillary's private communications? If so, Putin owns the USA. And, he may dump the load in October to make sure he does not have to deal with the bag lady.
Russia has build an air base at the old capital of Shushan in Iran. It all happened during July and following, and they are flying in the largest air freight haulers today with their best missiles on board. One month and a half is all the Russians need to build a world class Air Base. The creepy aspect of this is that US Intelligence did not have a clue it was being constructed. US snoops keep a very close eye on you and me, so why are they not watching Iran? This is clearly an example of what Putin said he would be doing in the coming days. He said that because America has far greater resources to make masses of military arms, Russia would be using Asymmetric Warfare in the future to surprise the US and respond to US threats. This is exactly what Putin warned us he would do, and our people did not believe him. Consider please: President Obama cuts a deal with Iran to go forward with their nuke plans, AND sends them $400 million as a love offering. For this, Iran invites Russia to take up residence in Iran. Obama is a very gullible porch monkey. This is the first foreign military base in Iran since 1979. Thus, we can assume that Russia and Iran have made some very serious concessions to each other in this process. Also, we may assume that this Russian base now makes a US war against Iran virtually a mute question. There is now no way the US dares to attack Iran with Russia watching their back. The S-400 Russian missiles are the top of their defensive line, and they have nothing to do with ISIS. These missiles are to return fire if the US comes playing tricks on Iran or Russia. This move also draws the ties closer together in the prophetic Ezekiel 38 gathering of Middle Eastern nations by Gog and Magog, that is, Russia, into a mob of thugs preparing to invade Israel.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America has kissed the ring of the Pope. Everything Luther stood against no longer means anything to these washed out fools. READ THE SAD STORY What is a "Declaration on the Way?" Answer: It is a mob of slop hog idiots telling the Pope they are coming to the Whore. Once again, we have the honor to give the Dead Skunk Award to the ELCA. Since they love the stink of the Whore of Rome, they are worthy.
Is this strategic? Does Hillary have fears of her health, and is she priming Joe Biden to take up the campaign for President?
I smell change in he air. Hillary is leaning on anything handy. Her health is a real issue, and she may decide she does not want to kill herself in the Oval Office. This seems hard to imagine, given her massive ego. But, she has a huge pile of cash in the Clinton Foundation which would pay for a lot of play time around the world. So, come on, uncle Joe. You are suspect in some ways, but you don't have a murder complex.

Dealing with attacks on your family, your local church, and the people of God in general
Security against Islamic terrorist attacks
Preparing for Government attacks on churches
This article at Blessed Quietness Journal is my effort to share from my many experiences defending the believers in local churches. I also deal with Islamic terror and the possibility of the US Government attacking local churches with subtle regulations and threats.
God has no dumpster out back in Heaven. If you confessed your faith in Jesus Christ in the past, no matter what transpired between then and now, God has not given up on you. Have you given up on God? Or, maybe you just gave up on YOU, right? It is no secret what God can do......
Psalms 80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; 15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. 16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
NEVER GIVING UP
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Politics aside, why can we no longer have someone like this to talk to us during election years?
So, why do we now have only tension and hate? Neither Hillary nor Trump have the grace and the class of a Reagan or Truman or Ike. I have to assume this is a result of America losing its way. I have no hope for this nation. One candidate hates God, and the other is so utterly illiterate that all he can say is, "I am very religious." Well, so is ISIS. Very religious. What does it mean that The Donald has "religion." Bah. It sounds like he got religion right after he got small pox. It is all Madam Murder and Sir Monkey Shines. I do not hear anyone talking who speaks from deep conviction. It is all bombast, bluster, and bull.
The pedestrian was hit and lies injured. Every Hindu in India would walk by and offer no help. This is because Hinduism teaches that the man is working off his Karma. By lying there injured and hurting, he will receive a better life in his next incarnation. So, the most helpful thing you can do for a hurting Hindu, according to this Indian religion, is let him suffer.
It is about time that the Post-Christian American jack ass population understand that Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, and all other pagan religions have NO compassion.
Islam builds NO hospitals for anyone but Muslims. Christian missionaries have gone all over the world to build clinics and hospitals, and they happily take in patients who are of other religions and even hate Jesus Christ.
Here is the Hindu Deepak Chopra on Compassion
New Age values are conscious evolution, a non-sectarian society, a non-military culture, global sharing, healing the environment, sustainable economies, self-determination, social justice, economic empowerment of the poor, love, compassion in action, going beyond religious fundamentalism, going beyond nationalism-extreme nationalism, culture.
And, if Deepak had been at the scene of the hit man above, he too would have walked by and done nothing. The gurus of the New Age and Hinduism speak sweet lofty words, but they do nothing about it themselves.
Compassion..... DO YOU HAVE ANY?
Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Who would have ever thought Donald Trump, Mr. Money Bags, would end up being the under dog at anything? That is what is happening. The mainline press, Google, Twitter, and social media are Hell bent for election of Hillary. So, America, as has been seen thousands of times in our history, will come to the rescue of the under dog. I think it is a big hoot to see how stupid the media are. If they want Hillary, they should support Trump and make Hillary the under dog. They are utterly too stupid to figure this out. We live in an age when rational thought is in short supply. TECH COMPANIES ATTACK TRUMP MAINSTREAM PRESS FROTHING AT THE MOUTH OVER TRUMP CNN ADMITS THEY ARE ALL OUT FOR HILLARY WITNESS THE HATE OF THE PRESS BY TRUMP SUPPORTERS The thing I love about this is that Donald Trump has said for years that bad press is better than none. He has the talent to take a very nasty attack against him in the press and turn it his way. I can hear him now..... "You know, I love those people at CNN. I have worked with ________ for years on all sorts of projects. But, they need to talk about something they can prove." When, or if, Hillary flames out due to murder, email, and Foundation stories, the media will be left with egg on their face. At some point they will have to admit they put their money on a Feminazi Mob Boss. The masses of voters will simply laugh at Hillary and the media and vote for Trump. If you were Joe Biden, or The Bern, would you want to follow the Hillary Road Show after it crashes? In all my life of 70+ years I have never seen the press prostitute themselves like they have for Hillary. I have to wonder if a steady stream of bank deposits is flowing from the Clinton Foundation into deep pockets in the media board rooms. Balaam's Ass wants to award all the media except Fox News with the world famous, and greatly coveted, Dead Skunk Award for their total betrayal of the concept of news reporting by becoming a propaganda agency for Hillary.
The moral of the story is, do not agree to participate in police war games. READ THE STORY HERE After you are hauled off to the mortuary, you will not be hearing the apologies and kind words of the Chief of Police.
Any cop who has had ten minutes of training KNOWS that you check all side arms before and after use to be sure they are the way they are supposed to be. If the thing is supposed to have blanks in it, it is very easy to determine that.
Germans are fleeing Germany. There seems to be no way to stop Merkel other than a full blown revolution, and most Germans are too timid for this option. So, the flow of those fleeing Germany is increasing. This will insure that Germany becomes an Islamic state eventually. History is replete with accounts of White Race zeal to conquer and take power around the world. It is startling to see the White Race in Europe cave in and kiss up to Allah. Thus, HERE IS ONE FAMILY THAT FLED GERMANY So, the world will be receiving some of those priceless Germans who are willing to step off he edge and start over on down the road. Texas has a rich German heritage which dates back to the early 1800s.
To you Germans looking the alternative to Russia, here are the conditions for fleeing to Texas: Be ready to work to pay your own way. Be ready to live by Texan law and our rules. Be ready to defend yourself like all Texans do.
Texas has a fine German community waiting for you:
Nobody is far from home in Texas.
Texas now has a law that Texas has only one law- Texas Law. Sharia law will NEVER rule in Texas. And, there are three guns for every man in Texas to make sure of that.
Texans come in all varieties, but we do have a lot of real people doing what they love to do the most.
And, you thought there was nothing you could do for the homeless, right?
I almost never hear careless talk about the homeless in Texas. Perhaps that is why so many left your state and came here to Texas. Many Texans find ways to help the homeless and those who fell through the cracks.
Proverbs 11:24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
My Dad lived through the 1933 earthquake in Los Angeles. He crawled out to the street to turn off the gas main. In downtown LA old brick buildings lost their fronts, but few actually fell. One man was in the bathtub when it hit, and he found himself looking out at the world as the outside wall fell from his building. I experienced the 1952 earthquake centered in the town of Mojave. It was a rolling earthquake, and though it was over a 7 pointer, the rolling aspect caused a lot less damage then a shaker. I sat with my Dad looking out the window as telephone poles swayed back and forth. As a kid, I was both terrified and fascinated. My Dad had a way of turning disasters into a science lesson. It works great until the roof comes down. Ours stayed up. The 1994 Northridge earthquake was the most deadly in recent history at 6.7 points. The reason it was so deadly was that it did something seen for the first time in earthquake history. The ground did not shake back and forth, and it did not roll. It jumped up and down. This caused vertical wood pillars in apartment buildings to shatter. The whole of San Fernando Valley was 13 feet higher after the quake. So, what next for California? The gurus of the science tell us CA is due for a monster soon. It has been many years since the north/south fault lines have really let loose, and tension is great. The following documentary on the Kobe, Japan quake is highly instructional. California has made many building codes for buildings and road construction, but these have not been tested. No one can be quite sure the codes were done right. The answer is always that the city is now very safe. That is true until just after a monster quake. At that point, the answers will be a lot more practical. Here is how Kobe was not ready, in spite of many codes that were supposed to prepare the city for an 8 pointer:

I work for a public utility and when we start projects many times we have to hire a consultant engineer to perform a seismic assessment before proceeding.
Most of the consultants are PhD certified engineers in seismic geology, so I asked them once where do the predictions come from that we always hear that the big one is coming.
Answer: He said the general rule of thumb is that a large earthquake occurs within every 1,000 years, so we should have a big earthquake anywhere between right now and 1,000 years.
I said, okay.
My conclusion is that God sends one when he is good and ready to send one. I don't think science can out smart God although they try awfully hard. I also read somewhere that the science of data collection is relatively young. Recording of weather and other events are accurate only into the last 200 years perhaps and before that they have to interpret written historical accounts to surmise if anyone talked about an earthquake like in the book of Amos 1:1. And like some UFO enthusiasts who sift through historical accounts to find language indicating an extra terrestrial encounter. Conjecture at best but interesting at times.
And while I am ranting, I am wondering why people are so interested in predictions of calamity and catastrophe. There is some kind of mystical doomsday fetish with a kind of Catholicism religiosity that makes you feel good without requiring anything from you. "The rapture escape" where all the christian sinners are released from their hypnotic materialistic lives to live in Santa Claus land. Or a kind of reverse rapture which is something the New Age people talk about where suddenly all the evil will be taken out (Christians) and all the earth lovers will be left to become one with Mother.
The Christians want to be taken out and rescued from the sinners and the sinners want to be rescued from the Christians to live their selfish, earth loving lives of consumption to become one with the dirt. Good luck with that.
Many look for the Rapture as the ultimate thrill ride escape from living the life God has given them to live. Why would anyone want to escape from something God has given them.
I will be taken out when God is good and ready. Until then I want to be found doing His will faithfully. I don't care about anything else.
