July 4th, 2024 – I ask this of you…

Last Sunday in church we sang the Star-Spangled Banner, all 4 verses. Most of us are familiar with the first verse…normally followed with “Play Ball !” But as we sang each verse the words struck deep, especially verse 4.

I would ask of you to read the words to the Star-Spangled Banner…and pay particular attention to verse 4. Think about these two lines…

“Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto – ‘In God is our trust,’”

The Star-Spangled Banner

September 20, 1814 by Francis Scott Key

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

As you read these amazing words…what whispered in your mind, your heart, your soul? What did you feel? What was the message? What do you now do?

But I am not done, please now read the words to…

America the Beautiful

1893 by Katharine Lee Bates…

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plain
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea

O beautiful for Pilgrim feet, whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat, across the wilderness
America, America, God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self control, Thy liberty in law

O beautiful for heroes proved, in liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life
America, America, May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine

O beautiful for patriot dream, that sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea

The line that really struck me was “O beautiful for patriot dream, that sees beyond the years”. Our Founding Fathers, the patriots, tried their very best to pass their dream on to us. Are we too a patriot?

What does the spirit whisper to you right this very moment?

Celebrate July 2nd, 1776 !

249 years & 3 months ago hostilities, a shooting war, was started by the oppressive and tyrannical British Empire against a group of colonists that simply wanted freedom and liberty in their lives. 1 year & 3 months later those same colonists declared their reasons for wanting their freedom and liberty…the Empire ignored them…a wider war began.

On July 2nd, 1776 the Colonial American Congress declared its independence from oppression and tyranny by approving the Declaration of Independence. When not just read, but studied, that document, the first of its kind in the history of man, is utterly amazing! It outlines clearly why man should be free, what those freedoms are, and the process by which a country’s citizens can throw off an unjust and dictatorial government.

The Declaration of Independence is near and dear to my heart…I love that document more than I can describe. Please join with me today in celebrating its formal approval. Please take the time to study it and think how much commitment those Founding Fathers had to securing true God-given rights, liberties, and freedoms to our forefathers here in America. Review how an oppressed people burdened with the rule of tyrants outlined how to correct that situation, by force of arms if necessary.

This is important.

God bless America…and may America begin to honor and bless God once again.

Watch for my post tomorrow !

Watch for my post tomorrow morning!!!

I’ve never done a post like this before…you might want to see it…

and I would appreciate it 🙂

Trump = Guilty!!

I needed some time to really think this trough and get it clear in my head what I think is really going on here. And some of it may sound familiar…some it may surprise you. I am going to use basic logic, facts, and my view of this mess.

So Trump either committed the crimes he was found guilty of or not. If he did commit those crimes he is in-fact guilty and was rightfully found such…or so it seems. And if that is true then the American judicial/legal system worked perfectly and is serving the American people well. And he should now be sentenced according to that same system…and that may include prison time…rightfully so.

Here is my take on the larger picture. No, it is not about the election, prosecution, or persecution of Trump per se. In my view it is about the American judicial/legal system itself. For decades this system has proven time and time again that; 1) it is two-tier, 2) it has become weaponized. Weaponized in terms of political purposes, cultural purposes, or based on specific issues themselves. Of this, in my opinion, there is no doubt…facts and overwhelming evidence prove this true beyond any reasonable doubt of any reasonable non-biased person.

By weaponized I also mean corrupted, completely and totally corrupted, beyond any resemblance of its original Founding Fathers’ intent and design. And before anyone has a stroke…I don’t mean every single person in the entire system. I mean the system itself from top to bottom, starting with the political hack AG Garland to the beat cop…and everything in between. And actually, I believe almost everyone in the system is corrupt (in one fashion or another) as well…the operative word being “almost”.

Then if I am right about the system, then Trump was convicted by a corrupt system and therefore his conviction is not valid regardless of his actual guilt or innocence. However, it is still not about Trump…it is about the system itself being corrupt. And the system being corrupt is far more dangerous than any one person it affects. Why? Because it affects all of us everyday.

Why all of us? Polls show that 49% believe Trump was rightfully convicted, 49% show he was wrongfully convicted. And therein lies the problem…the country is once more divided against itself. We are yet again polarized against each other. We are all affected.

The Democrats got what they wanted…the ability to claim Trump is a convicted felon…34 felonies to be exact. But it could be worse…Trump, as a convicted felon, would be bared from voting in his state of Florida unless DeSantis restores his right to vote. Pretty much a huge win for Democrats (i.e. bragging rights and campaign commercials) and yet another challenge to over come with “independent” voters for Republicans and the Trump campaign.

Of course Trump will appeal…all the way to the Supreme Court if needed. But the damage is already done where it counts. And you Trumpeteers may not like to hear that but it is true. And it could get worse.

If Trump loses his appeal before the election it is game over for him. If he can’t get the Supreme Court to rule then he has virtually zero chance of getting elected. If Trump gets it to the Supreme Court and loses, then he goes down in history in a very bad light and no election for him. If he gets the Supreme Court to overturn an appeal’s court loss then the Democrats will claim election interference and Trump will most likely lose or the election itself will be in jeopardy.

Yes, I know this is all a huge issue for diehard Trump supporters…and that is yet another problem. If all this goes against Trump I can’t imagine there isn’t a handful, or hundreds, of actual mental case Trump supporters that will feel it their duty to…well, let’s just say “right the ship”. Not only would the Dems love that…so would TPTB more than anyone.

And that brings me back full-circle to my point…this is all a predetermined and preplanned event. TPTB love this drama, tension, chaos, stress, anger, etc. It does exactly what they want…pits American citizens against each other…very possibly to the point of extreme violence.

When I sat down in church Sunday a good friend of mine was visibly upset. By the end of our 15 minute conversation it all boiled down to his sister and her posts on Facebook. She was thrilled about Trump’s conviction and was quoting scripture to prove it was God’s will. My friend Gary and her exchanged heated posts and were at flaming odds at the end…hateful kind of odds.

So, TPTB have won cleanly and clearly…to America’s demise. They have once again split America and Americans apart, even families. There is no good outcome to this…NONE!

If somehow Trump beats all the judicial/legal odds and wins in the courts…Dems will be horrified, angered, and motivated. Then if somehow Trump would win the 2024 election/selection…Dems will revolt. If you remember last time; 1) the FBI embedded their spies in Trumps campaign, 2) once Trump was elected the FBI and CIA began their coup against him, 3) and don’t forget the AntiFa and BLM riots where cities burned.

But honestly…I don’t see Trump coming out of this with a legal win and an election win. If he does, then it was by design to further split the country and spark violence. If Trump loses the legal aspect and goes to jail, then it was by design to further split the country and spark violence. Whatever the outcome…there simply is NO positive, NO good, NO right outcome to this…NONE!

And that my friends is what you need to prepare for.

What’s going on & Where have I been…

Both are easy to answer…let’s take “Where have I been” first.

The simple answer is…working my tail off! Remember I am 69 years old now so I’ve slowed down a bit and can’t quite do as much as I once could. That being said…

  • I’ve been building a greenhouse then nurturing and tending to my greenhouse plants.
  • Installing an irrigation system for my 12-tree orchard.
  • Prepping a yard area that could be turned into a 6,000sq’ garden.
  • Fixing neighbor’s tractor…and then my own.
  • Installing a large brand new irrigation system in both gardens.
  • Helping a neighbor build his multi-room addition.
  • And a whole host of other things that would bore you to death.

So yeah, I’ve been very, very busy. I have a sense of urgency that is driving me, driving me hard.

Now…”What’s been going on” is the larger and more complex subject.

If you a regular visitor to the site you are already really well tuned in to current events. If this is your first time or two, you probably can also see for yourself what is happening in the world around us.

I have been watching very closely the events of the last several weeks. To say “disturbing” would be a huge and gross understatement! I haven’t really felt the need to write any articles on any of those items since they are pretty damn self-explanatory. Or rather…pretty damning and self-explanatory.

Let’s take an obvious one…the pro-terrorist college riots. Ah no, these are self-explanatory if there ever was one…radicalized empty-headed students being manipulated by college professors and outside agitators funded by evil men such as Soros. But these riots are far more violent and confrontational than the 60’s anti-war peace protests with more potential.

Then there is the on-going invasion of America at the southern border by those that have a single goal…destroy America and build an authoritarian paradise. (Yes, I know…an oxymoron.)

And if you been watching any of the Congressional hearings you know that every single Biden administration official is a traitor to the Constitution and are hell-bent on destroying America. And openly flaunting it our faces!

The economy…need I comment? There is, and has been, an intentional and determined program being carried out by the Biden administration, the Fed, Congress, and behind-the-curtain folks to destroy the economy…collapse it completely and totally. And their plan is working. There is no “good” area of the economy right now with one exception…the markets. And who does that benefit the most?

When it comes to the average American, the middle and lower class folks, the economy is destroying us…period. Inflation is out of control, unemployment is horrible, job creation is miserable, layoffs are rampant, and just think about the price of food and fuel for a minute. The housing market is a complete mess and collapsing in that the average American can no longer afford an average house.

There is clear and compelling evidence that there is no doubt, there is no question of a two-tier justice system in the United States. It is just as clear that the Department of Justice is 100% corrupted, that it is weaponized, and run by an Attorney General that would be completely at home working for the Nazi Germany government or the KGB or any petty, but dangerous, third-world dictator. There is no longer a Department of Justice that gives a damn about the Constitution let alone simple right vs wrong.

One of the most disturbing aspects of America today…the upcoming election. America’s judicial system is doing everything it can to keep Trump from running for President and winning. Think about it…a presidential candidate being prosecuted by his political opponent’s minions! That is purely the stuff of some weird banana republic, a fascist style government. The “gag orders” are the most troubling in my opinion. He can’t even talk about his opponent and their tactics without violating a judge imposed court order. Violating one of those orders could literally land him in jail. Thank you to the modern day Adolf Hitlers!

But then there is the election itself. Have you seen the survey numbers on people trusting the upcoming presidential election results!? The Republicans don’t trust the election results if Trump loses. And of course the Democrats don’t trust the election results if Trump is elected. Then there is the whole crowd that believes that the entire presidential election process is simply a “selection” process with votes/voting meaning absolutely nothing. If truth be told…I can’t argue against that one.

The chances of a free and fair election is ZERO. That ship sailed 8 years ago when the FBI embedded spies in the Trump campaign then, with cooperation of the CIA, began a coup against Trump. Let me say it again…there is NO chance that we have a free and fair election…period.

To me it is not the election itself that is the most significant point…it is what comes after. I’ve been saying this for 3 years now…whoever gets elected there will be a very high likelihood of riots, violence, and maybe worse. Think about it…if Trump is not elected what will his supporters, and Republicans in general, do? Same is true for the radical leftists (i.e. any Democrat), what will they do? We already know that the CIA and FBI will take the lead and initiate another coup against Trump. Of course they will, they did it the last time!

Then in my opinion…no election is a realistic possibility. Then what happens? What do the radical left and right do? Hell, what does the average American do? More importantly, what would veterans do? Maybe that is one of the reasons that DHS and the FBI have labeled veterans as potential domestic terrorists. Yeah, think about a whole bunch of trained folks who swore to uphold the Constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic…and no election.

The United States is a complete and total mess right now…on brink of another civil war or revolution. And it is all thanks to the US federal government, who are the ground forces, and the elitists who are pulling their strings.

Yeah I know…I haven’t even touched on the two world wars…Russia vs NATO and Israel vs Terrorism. And no, I didn’t mention China making overt moves/threats against Taiwan…and the US unable to defend Taiwan if it comes to that.

All it is going to take is one spark, one False Flag, one Black Swan event and it all goes up in smoke and flame.

Did you hear this past week the Congresswoman actually talk about her “insight” that a Back Swan event is a very real possibility?

The presidential election/selection is less than 6 months away. I have two major concerns; 1) an event that is of such a magnitude that “for our own safety and protection” the election/selection is canceled or postponed, 2) if there is an election/selection what happens within the following 3 months between the election and the inauguration (and the time period immediately afterwards).

And yes, of course I am truly, genuinely worried about entirety of 2025 regardless of who occupies the White House. Biden has all but destroyed the economy beyond repair…but it could get worse, much worse.

Why haven’t I been writing about any of this?

Damn! You already know about this stuff…you are already following this stuff…I don’t need to tell you what you already know, what you already see and hear because you have both eyes and ears to do so. But yes, I know that if you are here, reading this, you put some value on my take of things/events/people. So here it is…

  1. America has collapsed and we are in very dangerous times.
  2. The election/selection will bring more problems than it solves.
  3. The US federal government is the root of most evil.
  4. Those controlling the US government are the root of all evil.
  5. It will get worse. It could be far, far more worse than we can even imagine.

There are two bright spots, two areas that I think are shining, amazing, give me hope, keeps me going, brings me joy…

  1. Americans, the actual people (at least most) are some of the greatest people the world has ever known and, given a fair chance, will make the right choices and stand up for what is right…even if they know they will lose that fight. The amount of real and potential “good” in the American people is staggering!
  2. The Constitution is a divinely inspired document outlining the most perfect system of government that the world has ever known. And its principles will not be lost; the Constitution will be saved by those patriots that understand and cherish it…and take the necessary steps to do something about it.

Please, please continue to plan, prepare, and practice (train)…you will not be disappointed if you do. Then pray…pray for divine intervention.

April 19th…National Day of Prayer?

Today is April 19th, 2024. It was 249 years ago today that events changed the world. It proved that when a group of dedicated and committed people band together with divine help they can defeat tyranny and oppression even when it seems insurmountable. They pledged everything for their cause…everything!

As Americans may we always be willing to pledge enough, to care enough, to do enough, and to always have courage enough, the morality, the willingness to defeat tyranny and oppression wherever it may be found.

If there was ever true need to be a National Day of Prayer…it would be today.

Pray…if not for our country…at least pray for our children.

249 years ago tomorrow…

Do you remember the article I posted on 3/19? The article talked about 249 years ago when the American colonists began their armed struggle to defeat tyranny and oppression. It reminded readers of how simple farmers, tradesmen, and businessmen picked up arms and defeated the largest, most professional, most powerful army in the world. It took 8 years, but they did it. And in so doing changed the world for the better by establishing a new form of government, a divinely inspired type of government centered on “we the people.”

At part of that article I asked you to do something. Here is what I asked…

“On April 19th, one month from now, I would like you to gather with friends and family, enjoy a picnic, a quiet meal, or simply a desert together. Review the events of April 19th, 1775. Point out that the British government not only was the most powerful government/empire in the world at the time, it was the richest, and had the largest, most powerful, most professional, most lethal military in the world.

Talk about how a group of idealistic colonists formed citizen militias, fought, and won the day. If you have time, discuss the Declaration of Independence that came about the next year, what it meant, what it did, and the movement that it not just documented and started…but what it meant to the entire world in the following years…and what it means to us today.

Take a moment and read aloud the “Concord Hymn” to each other. Feel the swell of pride well up inside of you. Feel the awe and reverence for those men that day, in that place, at that time, what they did, and what they risked.

Then, as if in prayer, read together the last sentence of the Declaration of Independence. Quietly, in deep reverence, listen. Listen to that still small voice inside. Listen to the Spirit that you feel deep in your heart. Then follow that prompting.”

Tomorrow is April 19th…I am asking you again to do this simple thing. But from simple things can come greatness. Just look what those colonists did.

Concord Hymn

The last sentence of the Declaration of Independence reads, “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

FISA = Traitors ?

  • Do you think passing FISA is an act of treason?

Well, FISA is all about by-passing (ignoring) the Constitution regarding spying on US citizens. Don’t be fooled by its name Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Congress has exposed the fact that US law enforcement agencies, primarily the FBI, have used FISA hundreds of thousands of times to illegally spy on US citizens. And that is not some wild-eyed speculation or conspiracy theory…it is 100% fact with the evidence to prove it to be true and it was shown in Congressional hearings.

FISA is everything that is in direct opposition of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Our Founding Fathers would speak out against it with every fiber of their soul. And that is exactly why the US federal government loves it! FISA somehow justifies the unconstitutional actions of US federal law enforcement agencies…an authoritarian’s dream come true.

So you have federal law enforcement agencies, who are not authorized by the Constitution, using laws that are not only not authorized by the Constitution, they are in direct opposition to the Constitution. Hummmm…

So you have to ask yourself, what is the “traitor” status of those who wrote the law, voted for the law, and use the law?

Once again, for me, knowing the answer to that question helps clearly define who is on what side of the line in the US when it comes to good vs evil and liberty vs authoritarianism. Yup, pretty damn clear!

Remember, it was FISA that was used to start the coup against Trump.

So how’s the economy really doing??? AMAZING!!

So how’s the economy really doing???

So we all realistically think that the economy is doing badly. Well, at least in as far as it is affecting us, our children, and our neighbors and friends. But Just how devastating is it? Well, I am going to show you clear, factual, indisputable proof just how bad the economy is. I am going to show the cost of housing.

For this I am going to prepare a comparison between housing costs now, after 3 years of the President’s reign compared to 3 years of the last President’s reign. That will be 2019 vs 2024.


2019

  • Average home price: $265,800
  • 20% Down Payment: $53,000
  • 30-year Mortgage Rate: 3.75%
  • Amount Financed: $212,600
  • Monthly Payment: $1,208
  • Total Repaid: $435,000
  • Income required (industry standard calculation): $80,000

2024

  • Average home price: $384,500
  • 20% Down Payment: $77,400
  • 30-year Mortgage Rate: 7.02%
  • Amount Financed: $307,100
  • Monthly Payment: $2,272
  • Total Repaid: $818,000
  • Income required (industry standard calculation): $115,000
Results –

So here are the objective and results between 2019 & 2024…Bidenomics:

  • The average home price increased by 44.6%.
  • The down payment required increased by 46%
  • The 30-year mortgage rate increased by 87%
  • The amount required to be financed increased by 44%
  • The monthly payment increased by 88%
  • The total amount repaid over the life of the mortgage increased by 88%
  • The income required (industry standard calculation) increased by 44%
Summary –

There are a couple of hidden additional “gotchas” with Bidenimics:

According to the US government, the median household income in 2019 was $68,700. The US govt figures are not out for 2024 yet, but USA Today states the median household income in 2024 is now $74,700. That is an 8.7% increase from 2019 – 2024. That means that compared to the income increase between 2019 and 2024:

  • Income lags behind the increase in home prices by 80%
  • In 2019 your house payment was 20% of your monthly income. In 2024 your house payment is now 36% of your monthly income.
  • Buying a house in 2024 means you are paying back over $380,000 more dollars than the same house in 2019.

Wait for it…one more little item to cover…

Did you notice the income requirement difference, $80k in 2019 vs $115k in 2024? Did you catch that and do you know what the tiny little issue is there? Hold on…

According to the IRS you are now in a completely different tax bracket. So not only is your house payment an additional $1,100 per month, your tax payment is now also more than 60% higher on the income difference!!!

So then have you asked the question, “Who actually benefits from Bidenomics?

! ! GREAT QUESTION ! !

Well, let’s see:

  • The bank or mortgage company makes about $300,000 more in interest off of you.
  • The county you live in collects additional property taxes from you.
  • The federal government is collecting more income tax from you.

And what do you get out of it???? The same exact average American house…period. Yeah, that means absolutely no benefit to you. The only folks who benefit? Yup, the banks and the government.

Do you find that interesting? How’s that Bidenomics working out for us?

Hang on a dang-gum minute, is there a bigger picture here?

Try this on for size…in 1960 both of my parents worked, their combined income was about $5,400 per year. In 1960 they bought the home I grew up in, they paid $5,000 for it. That was 93% of their total annual income. It was a fairly average house, maybe a little on the poor side of the tracks. But compare that to today…the average home is more than 500% of the average household income.

Is there any doubts in your mind what is going on in the big economic picture of the last 65 years????

Again, ask yourself this, “Who is benefiting from homes going from 93% of a family’s income to 500% of a family’s income?

Do you understand the huge and devastating consequences to that single statistic alone? Do you see it is more than just Bidenomics!!!???

Ask yourself, “Why is this happening?

Answer it by asking, “Who benefits from this happening?
