A Holy Roller, a Kickboxer, and a Musican Walk into a Bar…

Well, not quite but… Lance Wallnau played a clip from Joe Rogan’s show with Coleman Hughes. Lance was talking about, well in my own words, speaking the truth as Christians. His base scripture was:

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

He related this verse to what is called “Apologetics” – a term used in Christianity I’ve always disliked. Apparently, the term comes from Greek word apologian (to “make defense” or as used above “give an answer”). Why don’t I like it? Because it evokes an image of someone “apologizing” for God’s Word and I’m not about to do that. Ever. I’ll readily apologize should someone point out any error I’ve made in expressing my understanding of scripture but never for the Word of God itself.

So… back to Lance, he was basically saying we Christians would be well-advised to be soft-spoken rather than “in your face”. I get that. I agree with this. He then used part of the Rogan-Hughes exchange to make his point. Interestingly enough, it is well-known Joe Rogan is not considered “conservative” at all. I am reasonably certain he is not a Christian – a quick check says he is an “agnostic” so I dunno. On the other hand, Hughes says he does not believe in God.

So Joe Rogan and Coleman Hughes says he voted for Biden in 2020 and Clinton before that. He also says he does not believe in God. That said, watching these two men converse, I felt a good deal of affinity towards each. Both are intelligent, well-spoken, and articulate. Coleman Hughes is especially soft-spoken. I listened to the entire three-hour podcast and enjoyed most of it.

While Lance pointed out Hughes’ thoughts in Israel – thoughts that were well-considered and well said, what prompts me to post today is when their conversation turned to AI. I was fascinated.

Both men agreed AI is very scary and I agree with them but not for the same reasons. I did find it rather amusing how Joe Rogan, in particular, extrapolated the future of AI. He projected how AI could soon overtake human’s as far as comprehending the mysteries of the Universe. He speculated on how AI could “evolve” (my words not his) into our “god”, possibly understanding or even become the force that started it all with the “Big Bang”. Oi.

Is any of that even possible? Meh – according to some theories, maybe. Some who understand quantum mechanics might be able to make a case for time travel. So what Joe, who believes there is a god (or gods? I don’t know agnosticism can take so many forms.) is saying is we humans are in the process of creating “god” (or gods) and this creation of ours could be responsible for creating humans. Right.

Coleman Hughes more or less went along with the idea or so it seems. Of course once he has time to think this through then I’m sure he would either have to reject it or admit that god must either exist already or is certain to exist in the future.

How does this fit with what I’ve been saying all along? Sorry. Not at all. I’m standing pat. My contention is no AI program will ever be sentient or capable of original, individual thought. Software is a collection of instructions that turn series of switches on or off. That’s it. Neither the switches nor the instructions are capable of autonomy – individually or together – nor would they be if they were installed in some sort of organic or positronic “brain”. It. Is. Not. Going. To. Happen. God (and I mean the One True God) help us if I am wrong. This doesn’t mean the whole AI phenomena isn’t scary as hell. Here’s why.

First let me offer an example. I was using ChatGPT the other day. I asked it to list all the states with online voting. It provided information from 2022. I know this because it told me so. I told it is was wrong and it revised the list to one that was almost correct. How did this software manage to correct itself? I don’t know, but it did. This indicates this software might be capable of self-learning. And this is what I find alarming.

I’ll say this first, AI software can and should, by definition, be self learning. I expect this. What scares me is the realization of what this means and what the true push for “AI” really means and that is massive information gathering.

There is a race going on right now to develop AI. We are being led to believe this race is to develop machines that can “think”. The real race is to develop machines capable of collecting, assimilating organizing, manipulating, and dispensing knowledge. Think about that for a moment. Now consider two words – “deep fake”.

Worse yet, because no AI will ever be sentient, no AI is capable of morality. AI has neither consciousness or conscience. It can and only do what it is told – or programmed to do.

What’s worse is as fast as all this AI is being developed, it may well be too late before the world understands what is really happening to be able to put a stop to it.

The bottom line is AI is dangerous as hell but not for the reasons we are expected but because this technology is sure to end up in the hands of evil actors with evil intent where their hearts should be.

God help us all.

Vote Like A Boss – The Ground Floor of a November Groundswell

As you might have gathered I’m deeply interested in making an effort to get out the vote. I am not alone in thinking this November is crucial to our nation – even to our very existence and sovereignty.
My focus is not so much in a local effort. I’m more interested in making an impact state and nationwide.
To that end, I’ve developed the concept – “Vote Like a Boss”, inspired in part by a lady who has a podcast “Stacey on the Right“.
The concept itself is simple: offer wearable and portable products embedded with QR codes anyone can purchase and take anywhere. Each QR code links to the online voter registration page for the owner’s particular state. The graphic is designed to attract attention and urge immediate action – scan the code, visit the page, register to vote.
The true beauty of this is there is nothing to join, no commitment required. Anyone who decides just do a little bit – like buy a sticker or a coffee mug, doesn’t have to do another damn thing. Go another step and someone might just take up the challenge and register and (hopefully) vote.
Then again if every one who takes the plunge encourages another citizen to vote – we could be looking at a groundswell of new, bona-fide voters come November.
My first effort was a line of T-shirts then Mugs (white and black background), Stickers – various sizes, notebook, Sports bottle, a tote and posters of various sizes. The poster shown is with a white background but I also have one with black as it makes the colors really pop.
Most everything at this moment is focused in Virginia with a few from New York where I grew up and still have people. Leave a comment or end me an email if you want your state moved to the front of the line.
Vote Like a Boss Virginia T-shirt and tote. Note the T-shirt now offered features a QR code on the sleeve as well. Both QR codes link to that state’s online voter registration page.
I’m preparing to sell on Shopify and Etsy as well but I need to add products for each state that offers online voter registration. T-shirts first, then the other sundries.
I’m looking to promote this any way I can. I started by posting a bit on FB and X but those efforts are minimal at this point. I need to finish building out the product lines for the other states before I roll out any major promotional efforts.
My hope of hopes is this will all go viral. It could just as easily crash and burn. Either way, I cannot NOT give this a shot.

Stacey on the Right and The Western Journal’s Floyd Brown

Yesterday I caught Lance Wallnau on his Real America’s Voice program Firewall. This program mirrored last weeks in he featured speakers from his “Courage Tour“.

This week, a couple of speakers hit home. One was a lady named Stacy Washington who  has a radio show – Stacy on the Right. I’m liking directly to her page because of the impact she had on me, though in my case, she was certainly preaching to the choir. You can sample what I mean from the segment broadcast on Firewall.

Stacy states it a bit differently than I do but her message echoes my own in ways. What I loved is when she urged us to rethink our relationship with our elected officials – they are our employees. You get the idea. Forget about me, give her a listen.

Second up was Floyd Brown, CEO of The Western Journal, his segment was also enlightening but what I found most valuable was when he related his experience during the Reagan Administration. It’s not what you would expect – at all. He has to be about my age or maybe a bit younger so he was very young when he landed the job – early to mid-twenties, I think. In any case what stuck out was when he relates on how the CIA told him he had to promote Socialism. That’s right. No, this wasn’t from The Gipper himself. It was the CIA.

It didn’t surprise me, it just confirmed two things. One the Deep State has a very, VERY long history and two, they are absolutely evil and working diligently to destroy our nation.

We must be vigilant. We need to take back our nation or lose it. While we’re at it, we need to make a concerted effort to throw the Deep State Bums out.

Gun Control – It Is Time To End It ALL.

If you don’t know by now, I’ll say plain: ALL gun control violates the Second Amendment of our Constitution. Every. Single. Law. I’ve said this from the start and I stand by it now.

The wording of the Second Amendment is clear: it says our right to keep and bear arms “cannot be infringed”. Forget the nonsensical straw-man arguments about “militias”. Forget the idiots spouting about “sporting” or “hunting” purposes. In fact, forget about any purpose at all.

Our founding fathers used guns to free our emerging not-quite a nation from the oppressive rule of the British. Compared to what we citizens endure today under our “free” nation, King George was a pussycat. And yet they fought – and died – and eventually emerged victorious. Then came the actual founding, the documentation – our Constitution for the United States of America and those pesky amendments.

They knew the score. Our founding fathers themselves were intended victims of gun control. Instead of bending their knees, literally, to the King, they took up forbidden arms. No doubt the horrors of the battles they fought, the abuse they endured under their British rulers, was forefront in their minds. Never again. No matter what. Many of them, our first president George Washington included, openly stated a distrust for any, and I do mean ANY, government body exercising too much power. With all this in mind they made on thing clear – our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed!

Some may call this a moment of weakness, others a moment of strength. I say it was a moment of divine clarity. This document, this constitution, became the law of our land by the direct influence and gifting of God Almighty. It was not they who “granted” these rights to all citizens it was God Himself. Our founding fathers, the authors of the Constitution were more scribe than author. As they previously proved with the blood of their compatriots, these rights belonged to us all along.

Subsequent events weakened us. In the aftermath of the “Civil War” or the “War of Northern Aggression”, call it what you will, laws were passed against gun ownership in several states. Most of these were to prevent blacks from arming themselves. Surely there were others passed for other reasons. This is not a history lesson, merely an opinion on personal observations and understanding. As our nation grew, many events led to the eventual passing of the National Firearms Act of 1934 – the landmark legislation that opened the floodgates for nationwide gun legislation.

Even then, the lawmakers knew they could not get away with infringing upon our God-given Second Amendment rights with any direct infringement. So what did they do? They acted like any spineless, slimy politician – they gaslighted the American public by calling it a “tax law”. Elbow, elbow, wink, wink and all that rot. This final piece of putrid deception was built upon fear. Fears of wild gangsters spewing lead in the streets – raining devastation upon innocent citizens. Of course they failed to mention these gangsters derived most of their power and wealth from trading in alcohol. It was the politicians’ own Prohibition act that fomented this black market. So, ironically, the class of criminals this legislation was aimed at was the one group who could well afford a $200 tax on a submachine gun.

From the first Supreme Court challenge to the present day, all branches of our government have ducked and weaved around the basic issue – they have no authority at all to restrict the rights of us law-abiding citizens from owning, carrying, and/or using arms – firearms, and yes, even “military grade” firearms. Zero. Zip. I have yet to see a single paragraph of legislation on any level that passes the “shall not be infringed” litmus test when applied to any honest, law-abiding citizen. And yet, here we are, wading through a myriad of legal mines, as our nation has become exactly that: a minefield. It needs to end.

Another irony – while so much of the angst of today’s gun control freaks is focused on scary black rifles, or any firearm capable of accepting “large capacity” magazines – often called “assault weapons” or “weapons of war” in an effort to compare them to military-grade firearms – they turn a blind eye to the original, and still often held dictum that suitability for military use is one of the standards deemed critical to our Second Amendment right. Even more strange is this very fact should be grounds to automatically reject the National Firearms Act of 1934 as inherently unconstitutional on this very basis.

Compounding this irony is a recent ruling by a Federal judge no less, that illegal aliens have the right to keep and bear arms under our Second Amendment. What?! While I do not necessarily disagree with the ruling, it comes with loads of baggage. First and foremost is depicted in the meme below.

It is madness. Nothing more, nothing less and it needs to stop. As citizens – honest, hard-working, law-abiding citizens, we need to put our foot down. We need to demand an end to the rabid, illegal, raping of our God-given rights under our Constitution. No more. If they don’t like it, well, too bad. As citizens, they have just as much right as anyone to propose our Constitution be amended. Unless and until that happens, our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Happy Resurrection Sunday

So Joe Bo Bo declares today, March 31, 2024 some day to recognize gender dysphoria or something and blows up the world… so to speak.

But, but, what about EASTER?!

Eggxactly.. Come on siblings in Christ – this has been screwed up for years with “Easter bunnies”, colored eggs, and baskets chock full of delicious candy.

Now I’m not applauding Slo Mo Jo but maybe he did us all a favor by forcing us to see this day for what it really should be recognized for:

The Day God Rose Jesus from the Dead.

In other words – Resurrection Sunday. Yeah. That.

It was a watershed moment in human history.

There’s a lot to think about. There’s a lot I still can’t wrap my head around.

For instance, after Jesus died on the cross for our sins, it is thought the devil started a victory party. The promised Messiah had failed. He was dead. Great Day. But…

The devil ain’t no fool. He knew the prophesies. He knows scripture better than any man on earth. He had to know this wasn’t the end. Jesus himself prophesied how things would turn out just days before he was killed

Matthew 17:22  And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
23  And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

Matthew 20:18  Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
19  And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

Surprise! Not. However, he didn’t know everything.

1 Corinthians 2:6  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8  Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

What was this “mystery”?

The word appears in several places but they don’t all seem to refer to any one thing. In fact, the apostle Paul mentions it more than anyone in scripture. He writes as if we should all know what it is already.

Ephesians 3:3-4 mentions it twice in this respect.

Ephesians 3:3  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

Wait! What? WHERE did you write about it before, Paul? Was I absent that day? I can only ascertain he is talking about writing about it before in this same epistle. Indeed, the word “mystery” first appears in Ephesians 1:

Ephesians 1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

In essence he is speaking of what we commonly refer to as the “gathering together” or some of us call the Rapture. That said, I do not think this reference completes the topic of the “mystery”. Read on.

Ephesians 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

To me, it seems far more reasonable that something as significant as “the mystery” shouldn’t be confined to too few words – and we all know from Paul’s writings, what his definition of “a few words” tends to be.

If you look at the final verse – verse 14, in the passage above you will note he writes of “ the earnest (token) of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession”

We are the “purchased possession” bought with the blood of Christ when he died for us. We were justified by Jesus’ resurrection. That “earnest” or token is the seed – the spirit God creates in us when we are born again. (Ephesians 2:9).

When will be redeemed? In the fullness of times when we are gathered together.

To conclude my thoughts on this, I’m convinced when Paul stated how we understand his knowledge of the mystery which he wrote afore (before) “in a few words”, he was talking about pretty much everything in the previous two chapters. At least I can see nothing to exclude as it pertains to what God Almighty has wrought for us. If you consider this in the perspective of what the devil knew then I can see how hindsight is far more revealing.

One thing I am reasonably certain about: nobody knew about our “age of grace” where those of us who confess Jesus the Messiah as Lord and Savior would be born again of God’s spirit and endowed with power from on high.  Nobody knew about that incorruptible seed.

1 Peter 1:23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

It’s been said that had the devil a choice between one Messiah or an army of born-again believers, he would not  have crucified the Lord Jesus. To me, this has always rung true.

What say you?

 

Addendum to Two Conservatives – One Jew – One Christian – Two Opposing Views

There was yet another aspect I did not bring up when I published the original post.

Add to that yet another seeming unrelated word I’d heard earlier in the day from Joyce Myer and wow. Just wow.

Let’s begin with Joyce Meyer. In a broadcast we recorded and watched on Sunday, she mentioned something in an aside that stuck with me.

In her message, she referred to Jacob who stole Esau’s blessing. What she said was in effect, “in those days, blessings were taken very seriously.” That thought got me thinking.

If you haven’t heard, I take God’s Word and God’s WORDS very seriously, always. In fact I am convinced one of the greatest gifts God gave man was the ability to communicate via words. Check it out for yourself. In Genesis, 1:1 God created the heavens and the earth. From then on, God mostly spoke things into being. “And God said, let there be light” (Gen 1:2) and so on.

Fast forward to Lance:

Once again on Sunday’s Firewall, Lance again refers to his seven mountain analogy.  For me, something clicked. A verse came to mind.

Mark 11:23-24 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say untothis mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

I put “this mountain” in bold because that was what stood out for me. Could”this mountain” apply to one of Lance’s seven mountains? What if “this mountain” was not “government” but the false power structure – the houses of cards – devoid of any true authority – build up by the statist usurpers?

For me this seems to be something bigger, greater than simple speculation. I see this and several other “mountains” as vulnerable  constructs occupied by our enemies – enemies of the One True Living God.

What IF we believers could invoke the Power of Two to bring these false mountains down? Consider.

The Power of Two – What God Revealed to Me

At the risk of appearing as if I’m something more than I am, a simple believer in God, I do believe God has revealed something marvelous to me – The Power of Two. Right off, I will tell you this information is available to anyone able to open a bible. Even then I wouldn’t limit anyone to just this but there it is.

This “revelation” first dawned on my after pondering Lance Wallnau’s episode of Firewall on March 24, 2024 on Real America’s Voice. He pointed out the concept of the “microchurch”. He referenced Matthew 18:20.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

From there Lance explained that two believers gathered in Jesus’ name can be considered a church – a microchurch if you will. Immediately my mind went to work, coming up with other examples where this concept of “two” applies. The very verse preceding Matthew 18:20 for example:

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

In fact it was when I remembered this verse when my mind reeled. Whoa! What?! How powerful is that? Think about it. Then I started remembering other instances involving the number two.

Jesus sent out the twelve disciples – two by two.

Mark 6:7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

Then he sent out the seventy:

Luke 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

2 Corinthians 13:1 states “In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” Early on in my walk I was taught the principle that something stated twice in scripture indicates it is confirmed.

The number (or word) “two” appears 835 times in the KJV in 703 verses. While not all of them confirm this concept of “the power of two”, many of them do in one way or another, starting out with two humans – man and woman – in the book of Genesis. Breathe easy, I’m not going to do a word study here, that was just FYI.

Beyond the “Power of Two”…

Take another look at the verses in Matthew 18. The “two” refers to believers. Those believers are joined by our Heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus the Messiah. Add the power of God to anything and the dial goes off the carts. In other words…

2∞

Yeah, that means two to the infinite power. This concept is confirmed time and time again in scripture.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.(ASV or American Standard Version) [Editor’s note: the KVJ inaccurately substitutes “Christ” for “him”]

Romans 8:36 Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Scripture also tells us God will never leave us nor forsake us. Putting all of the above together, if we look for our Heavenly Father to team each of us up with another believer, both believers gather in Jesus’ name and agree on any godly request, our Heavenly Father will honor said request. We don’t need armies or armaments, our shield, our buckler, our power is God Almighty Himself.

Search the scriptures. See for yourself if what I say is true. Go to God in prayer then go forth according to His leading.

NOT Forgotten! Two J6 Political Prisoners Highlighted

Today I found two separate and very different stories about two J6 political prisoners. While their experiences are different, what they have in common is they both have lost their liberty and their lives are forever changed.

Once again I will point out – my grievance is not about their guilt or innocence but about the total disregard for their rights as citizens under our Constitution.

Patrick Byrne Answers Trump’s Call To Support J6 Political Prisoner Ryan Samsel When All Organizations Refused

A Day in the Life

It matters not whether you agree with what they did or are accused of doing.

It matters not whether they broke the law or not.

No one deserves this treatment.  As Americans we have protested and marched against the inhumane treatment  hapless souls in other countries. We have railed against poor treatment of animals. And yet we look away, or worse, cheer, how these J6 political prisoners are being treated day in, day out for years now. For what? For some misguided “sense” of patriotism? Since when do we suspend proper treatment of the accused?  For SHAME!

This shame is doubled for those of you schooled in law and DOUBLE THAT SHAME for any politician schooled in law. And for you in our judiciary? If all you can do is look the other way or worse, throw up your hands declaring, you cannot do anything – you should resign immediately. You are a disgrace to our justice system.

 

The Death of Our Constitution – NOT!

In my previous post I took great exception Mark Levin’s declaration that our nation is “post constitutional” and law of the land is no more. While I absolutely believe Lance Wallnau’s unintended rebuttal was absolutely brilliant, as well as far better than I can do, I still have an itch to scratch.

For anyone who accepts the truth of God’s sovereignty, Lance’s position is easy to see. But what about everyone else? As I stated before, even my own wife, whom I know is a godly woman, is not clearly seeing this. She is being blinded by circumstance.

To this end, I’ll offer a more secular argument.

Suppose a man committed a murder. There were witnesses. There was a smoking gun. It was, unequivocally, unarguably, and unquestionably murder. However the police declined to arrest or charge him.

The people cried out. They insisted the district attorney investigate. The DA also declined to prosecute.

Again an uproar ensued. One brave soul presented the case to a Grand Jury. The Grand Jury declined to indict.

Finally, the people appealed directly to the courts. Surely a court of law would review the start evidence and insist on justice! But, no, the court tossed the case out.

Ignore the details and the reasons for this case. They are not relevant. Instead focus on the facts as presented. All of our systems for justice in this case failed, despite everyone outside the systems agreeing to the guilt of the murderer. Let me ask you…

Does the fact that all these systems failed mean that murder is now legal? Are the laws against murder now null and void? Then how can anyone say the same about our constitution?

This the reality. It is said “ignorance of the law is no excuse”. That axiom certainly applies here. Nor does ignoring the law – in particular the law of our land, our constitution – an excuse to disregard it.

Our constitution stands strong. The real question is – will YOU stand up for our constitution?

Two Conservatives – One Jew – One Christian – Two Opposing Views

Yesterday (Sunday) was a watershed. Actually I could count 2 Christians and 2 Jews if I wanted to complicate things but let’s do keep them simple.

In one corner, we have Mark Levin. In the other corner – Lance Wallnau. It would be hard to imagine two more diametrically opposed viewpoints. I’ll begin with Levin, whom I saw last and work up to Wallnau.

While I’m guessing you can find a replay on Levin’s broadcast on Fox – or one of the products, I’ve nothing to link to.

Levin was joined Lawyer David Schoen. Together they declared and bemoaned the End of Our Constitutional Republic. I was shocked. Then I was livid. Mark, how DARE you! Your pronouncement makes me wonder just how deeply the claws of the statists are embedded in your soul. Have you been turned? Are you a schill for the globalists?

Many times I have said, our republic is not over until someone stands up and announces the end of our republic. I did not expect it to come from “our” side. Surely many have worried that bone, mostly from the conservative end but hearing it from someone hailed to be a stalwart of right thinking – it’s disgusting.

Worse, my wife agreed with him. Earlier this week her co-worker said as much. The general consensus, the hopeless defeatism is what I’ve been battling for far too long. The not-so-subtle shrug of the shoulders, the raising of the hands, and the words passing the lips – “what can we do?”. I disagree. Entirely.

Enter Lance Wallnau. His last show on RAV was a video of an appearance in a Minneapolis church. He was on fire. Even better he was inspiring. For some reason Real America’s Voice breaks up the replay into four segments. All four are below – about an hour total. I doubt if you can watch just one.

Lance began by retelling the story of former Georgia Senator Mike Crotts being raised from the dead because his assignment on this earth was not finished. Indeed, at the time it had literally just started! It was prophesied that Crotts was to leave his business career and go into politics and he was campaigning for his first office when he dropped dead – for 29 minutes no less – of a heart attack. He was literally raised from the dead and promptly lost his first election. Eventually, he did become a State Senator but the message he received was his “assignment was not finished”.

In hindsight, I now see Lance Wallnau’s program as a further prophetic message for our nation. In short, the United States of America is not dead yet! We have an assignment and it is not finished. Wallnau clearly stated this during his message but I “just happened” to see it before watching Mark Levin declare the death of our nation. Wow. Take a look. I’ll be back.

THE LANCE WALLNAU SHOW MARCH 24TH, 2024 Part 1

THE LANCE WALLNAU SHOW MARCH 24TH, 2024 Part 2

THE LANCE WALLNAU SHOW MARCH 24TH, 2024 Part 3

THE LANCE WALLNAU SHOW MARCH 24TH, 2024 Part 4

What is the difference between these two perspectives? One, Mark Levin, is looking at the human side – the secular, while Lance Wallnau is looking to God Almighty. What a difference!

Reaching back to my wife and others (her co-worker is not the only culprit here) they, too, are looking at our circumstances. All they can see is how powerful the opposition has grown and how they seem to have everything under control. What they fail to see is God. Nothing is happening today that God does not allow. Nothing. Just as David refused to allow himself to be intimidated by Goliath who dared to defy Almighty God, we Christians, we, the very children of the One True God, need to turn to our Heavenly Father and place our trust, our very lives, in His hands. But that’s not all…

As Lance pointed out – as long as we have breath on this earth, we are here for a reason also. We all have assignments. For myself, I can tell you outright, sometimes posting to this blog seems entirely inadequate. I cannot help feeling I am to do more but I do not know what. What is your assignment? I cannot tell you as I do not know. All I can do is urge you to seek out God for yourself and ask Him to reveal what He has in store for you.

While I may not always be confident I am doing God’s Will to the best of my ability, what I AM confident in is God Himself. I am only human. I am entirely capable of screwing up a one-car funeral but God is, well GOD, and HE does not, can not screw up. My trust is in Him.

Oddly Enough – I Saw This First on MSN News

Seriously, my wife upgraded all her computers to Win11 (YUCK!) for her biz. As I help out during her busy season I find myself starting at the screen of one from time to time. Win11 has a “feature” that pops out a bunch of crap I don’t wanna see, including MSN headlines. (No, I haven’t taken the time to put a stop to that. Call me lazy.) Anyway, yesterday I saw this headline:

Republican’s Constitutional Amendment Would Change How Americans Eat

from a story in Newsweek.  This headline could be taken in several ways but I clicked to see how Rep Thomas Massie, one of the more outspoken conservative voices in the House introduced this legislation. I immediately figured it was a hit piece on Massey. Not so fast.

This morning I was reminded of this story in a meme from 90 Miles From Tyranny:

Okay. Fine. I get the gist but I gotta ask WHY? Why is a constitutional amendment necessary? The way I see things, what the Feds are doing are already unconstitutional. They are already limited to goods that cross state lines. Granted this limitation is ignored as is nearly every other limit in our founding document. The problem is not a failure of our Constitution but our failure to properly enforce it.

Besides this, the chances of such an amendment surviving the grueling process of ratification are slim to none. Nice try Thomas but your effort will only land you another 15 minutes in the spotlight.

Why not introduce some legislation to scale back those laws that are currently raping our liberties. Do you need a list?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day – How Long Will THIS Last on FnBook?

I posted this at 7AM

My guess is the idiots on FnBook who scrutinize any and every post to determine whether it conforms the The Masters’ agenda will nix it quick.

If I were a betting man…

Just a note here I won’t be wearin’ the green today. Why not?

Because I am not Catholic!

While St. Pat’s Day is generally accepted as an “Irish” holiday it is really an Irish Catholic holiday because us protestants (meaning here any of the brethren in Christ who is NOT Catholic) don’t worship “saints”.)

If I were to wear any color, it would be orange – the color of the protestants.

Just sayin’

Have a great day and please try not to take twice as long to walk to the pub as you needed to walk to the pub.

Meanwhile a heads up on the whole TicTok controversy thingy:

Here’s one story:

U.S. House Rams Through Bill to Ban TikTok

While I’m not sure if it says so in the story linked below, somewhere, I read this bill includes the so-called “authority” to ban any social media organization that “interferes with an election” or some such.

Mark my words – even that is just the beginning of something even more evil.

Contrarians and Joining the Republican Party

Wouldn’t ya know it? Last night I was supposed to attend the monthly local republican meeting where they were going to vote on my membership application. I begged off. While the reason I gave is accurate – f’n DST has screwed up everything. My wife wouldn’t be home in time to take care of the critters and the meet landed smack dab where it would cause a problem. You see, we lock the chickens up at night for safety. They don’t like to go  in too much before dark. These days that means 7PM. The meet was set to begin at 6:30. Yeah. But there was yet more to the story. My angst.

Almost from the moment I handed my application in, I felt that twinge. You know the one – where you can’t help feeling you are making a big mistake. For the past couple of days, I’ve wrestled with the question:

Do I really want to join the party? Why?

Then this morning, I came across this article from Ammoland:

Firearms Training – Learn to Embrace the Contrarian Mindset

It helped. It really did because at heart I am also a contrarian. I must say this Keith Hanson explains it very well.  The bottom line is I’ve never, ever, been willing to accept “conventional wisdom” at face value. As such I tend to piss everybody off.

If you’ve read much here, you know I despise party politics and I foresee forever advocating the total dismantling of our vaunted “two-party system” as well as political parties entirely.

Let’s start with just some of the “Republican Party’s” own rhetoric. The Virginia Republican Party states they support freedom and a limited government. Great. So do I. What I’d like to know is what, exactly has the Republican Party actually done to  promote freedom and limit government. I’ll wait. Actually, no, I won’t. It’s obvious, but I’ll state it plainly so even an avowed party person can understand (maybe).

ALL POLITICAL PARTIES MUST WORK TO GROW GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO GROW THEIR OWN POWER BASE

Sorry for shouting but too often this principle falls on deaf ears.

To this end any political party serves this common goal above and beyond serving party members and thus, every political party does not, CAN not serve those who make up the party. So why join?

This is what I’ve been asking myself.  In part, my reasoning is those who are part of the party at the very least have taken an active interest in forwarding similar ideals. I’ve no doubt the rank and file believe deeply in the principles stated by the official party propaganda. However they, all of us really, have been blinded to the facts:

They ain’t working for us, they never have.

Sad but true. So, in part, I want to be a part of this group because we share common interests and I’d like to forward some of my contrarian views. (Thanks Keith!) Who else am I going to reach? I don’t know what it will take for anyone else to take action so I’ll try work according to Newton’s law first of motion:

      1. An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

My point? Active party members are, well, active. That sets them apart from those dedicated to pissing and moaning. Those bodies are already in motion and already heading in the same general direction.

So that’s the latest there. I have about three weeks to reconsider, however Keith’s contrarian article hit the nail on the head for me as it both provided an answer as to why I’m struggling with this as well as reframing my perspective so I can move forward without feeling hypocritical.
