America's Open Borders: Who Is the Real Border Czar?

Image
  Fellow Americans: Tired of hearing crickets or craziness when Biden is asked what he is going to do about the borders, and when? Well, that's because you are appealing to the employee, not the boss. Xi whiz, kids, let's try to get it right!

The Congresswoman Formerly Known as AOC

Image
I decided it is bad for my mental and spiritual health to continually think of Congresswoman and Unsolicited Advice Columnist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a clueless ignoramus. From now on she will be AØC : The "Accidental Comedian" (See what I did with the "O" there?)

Sex Money and Pride: The Truth About Our Open Borders...and a Whole Lot of Other Things

Image
Trying to make sense of it all. I think it is fair and accurate to say that 1 John 2:16 places all sins into one or more of three categories:  Sex (desires of the flesh);  Money or Materialism (desires of the eyes);  and misplaced Pride (the pride of life). Virtually everyone we encounter in social media or on television cannot fathom why our borders are open and why Joe Biden and Co. could not care less about the evils attached to a completely open border. Let's see if this Bible verse might shed some light on the problem. SEX : Human Trafficking and Cheap Labor. We know that the Jeffrey Epstein's of the world—some of whom are rich and powerful politicians (Bill Clinton), businessmen (Bill Gates) and royalty (Prince Andrew)—are all for human trafficking. We must also assume that many of our federal, state and local officials—men and women—also are all for it, and that a significant portion of the general population really does not have a serious issue with it. Joe Biden him

Putin and Lincoln: Two Scorched-Earth Legacies

Image
By all rights, any American who thinks the American Civil War was righteous, fair and necessary should come out in full support of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Hear me out. I will not argue with you that the War Between the States (Civil War) was not partially, or even primarily, about freeing the slaves. But it was not entirely about freeing the slaves. The "states' rights" argument was real, and it was important, and it is the states' rights argument with which this post is concerned.  How is Putin's invasion of the Ukraine not just as much a Civil War as was Lincoln's invasion of the Confederacy? The states that formed the Confederacy believed that the federal government, by its persistent denial of states' rights, had dissolved the legal and political ties between the federal government and the states. The Confederacy, in other words, no longer wanted to be governed by what it considered a despotic government. And isn't that what Ukraine did wh

In Our Own Eyes: Our Putrid National Ethos

Image
If there is one Bible verse that describes the American culture today, it is this: "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." — Judges 21:25 Our national ethos—our system of ethics—has devolved from that established by the Founding Fathers in principle and codified explicitly and implicitly in the Constitution. In the beginning, our ethics were based on the common assumption that God knows best and has defined ethical behavior. Unfortunately, before the ink dried on the Constitution, there were some (most?) who did not quite see it that way and started in with that whole Adamic thing of "Yes, but..." In 2022 our more-or-less originally God-based system of ethics has devolved into our present "in their own eyes" system of ethics. This new system has given us abortion, LGBTQ, same-sex marriage, rampant divorce, daycare, corrupt government, socialized medicine, Wokeness and a host of other evils; their is no limi

IN WARM PRAISE OF OIL AND GAS PEOPLE...

Image
  WHEN I AWAKENED THIS MORNING IT WAS 26 DEGREES, WITH A "FEELS LIKE" OF 15°. THE HEAT AND LIGHTS WERE ON AT MY HOUSE. I praised God, and one of my prayers of thanksgiving was for Oil & Gas people. I worked in that industry for more than 25 of my 48 working years, and I know whereof I speak. I can assure you that O & G people of all nationalities, cultures, colors, sexual orientations, and religious beliefs were not focused this last week on personal grievances or identity politics. I can virtually guarantee you that there were no Diversity, Equity and Inclusion meetings last week; the focus was on keeping oil and gas flowing so that people did not freeze their be-hinds off or die during this current cold streak. Nobody had a Great Resignation mentality; O&G people went to work in the frigid cold, freezing rain and blowing snow. Field workers and plant operators braved bone-chilling winds. Office workers either made their way to the office or put in long hours at

Create a Trans-Olympics for Transgender Athletes

Image
Courtesy of deseret.com Today I watched yet another of the many wrongfully-treated young female athletes explain how and why she was cheated out of her high school athletic career by transgender Woke-ism. Today also, the NCAA announced its new, wholly-unacceptable Woke policy on transgender athletes , which not only violates Titles IX and VII, it is an affront to God, mankind, womanhood, nature and logic.  So today I came up with a better idea to put an end to the inequity, controversy and bitterness surrounding the transgender athlete debate. Not that anyone but female athletes, their families and their attorneys gives a whit about fairness; still, I have a modest and fair proposal:  Let's  create the "Trans-Olympics" for transgender athletes (and leagues, if there are enough trans people around to make up a sufficient number of teams). Special Olympics.org Already we have created avenues for athletic participation where people with intellectual and physical challenges c

The Government School Curriculum and Our Children's Future: Of God or Of the Devil?

Image
In light of today's battle for what is, and what will be, taught in the government schools, this question and answer is critical to the future of our children. Like all other aspects of life, the government school curriculum is either of God, or of the Devil. There is no middle ground.
