The coming Wrath





"The secular humanists believe strongly that God does not belong anywhere near our government. But our government was founded on Judeo-Christian principals. That is a fact. Listen to historian David Barton some time if you don't believe it."


More and more believe the signs are pointing to the fact we may be coming to the end of days. For those who believe, that is not a bad thing - it has been prophesied for thousands of years. But why is the Second Coming of Christ called the Wrath? Because Christ and his Angels will be bringing justice to a broken world. It will herald in the worst time in human history.

Evil is stalking our land. It is stalking our world. For those who believe, it is as clear as a bell. For those who chose not to believe, they are blind to it. But this signs are all around us. The principalities of darkness, are causing many of us to accept evil looking like good. But it is not. "Truth" in this broken world has become evil shined up to look like good. But it is not. It is still evil. 

The secular humanists believe strongly that God does not belong anywhere near our government. But our government was founded on Judeo-Christian principals. That is a fact. Listen to historian David Barton some time if you don't believe it. But now, the secular humanists are putting billboards up, referring to followers of Christ as "Christian Nationalists". That we need to keep "religion" out of government.

First off, followers of Jesus don't have a religion - they have a relationship. Next, when all the kerfuffle about the Muslim religion needing the call to prayer five times a day, city GOVERNMENT had to step in and amend the cities noise ordinance. I don't recall the secular humanists saying a peep about that issue. I guess it is only Christians, the humanists are after. Why? I think most of us know the answer to that one.

When the Wrath of God comes, there will be no middle ground. Either you are a follower of Christ, or you are not. The welcome mat for redemption came to us two thousand years ago, when Christ came to us as the Lamb of God. The offer to follow Him has been there for ALL of us, since that time in Bethlehem.

On this Mother's Day, I wish the best for all Mothers, here and departed. For those who have been distant from God for years now, my prayer (as well as many believers) is that you revisit God's offer of redemption. Follow Jesus, for his story is as real, as real gets. If you have questions, the Bible has all the answers to your questions.

Today is a good day to start. Time may be running out.

Where will they go? What will they do?





"For those who were cowed into voting for Joe Biden, we are reaping what you have sown. Chaos, inflation, wars, crime, entropy. To make matters worse, it is becoming more and more evident that not only is Biden feeble and incompetent, he is also corrupt. He is truly, the Manchurian Candidate."  



Welcome to America! I know, I know - it was a tough journey. But you were invited here. By Joe Biden. I heard him say so when he was a candidate. And he made good on that promise. He has eviscerated our southern border, to make it easy for you. Biden made sure the news went out far and wide. COME TO AMERICA! Land of milk and honey! The flow started with Mexicans, and then the Triangle Countries. Then South America. Then China. Then Russia. Soon there were illegals coming from over 100 countries, all trying to take advantage of Uncle Joe's invite.

And now that Title 42 is history, more are coming. But there is a small, vexing problem that Uncle Joe did not envision. NIMBY. That means, "Not in my back yard." More and more do not want these mostly illiterate immigrants living in their orbit.

This morning on the news, they were interviewing some black folks from Chicago. These people were hopping mad, that their neighborhoods were becoming stuffed with bussed in immigrants. "Why should they take advantage of the services we pay taxes on? Why should they go to our schools, that we support?" Many good questions. And the NGOs are about full up - everywhere. So - where will they go? What will they do?

Here is the sad but true reality. Most, not all, coming to our borders are poor folks, who paid their life's savings to crooked cartel members just to get them here. Many have zero marketable skills, and very sketchy English. A small percentage have skills which we can use. Some know how to pick vegetables. However, most of the estimated 5 million illegals which have made it over the border under Biden, will not be able to make enough money to live on in our inflated economy. Then what will they do?

I am going to go out on a limb here, and make a prediction. Most of these immigrants will be "one off" types. Not citizens, but not returnable to where they came from either. Where will they live? The federal government made this mess, so they will need to clean it up. The government will need to put them in make shift reservations, like they did with the Native Americans. These people will live in poverty, like many Native Americans do. But unlike Native Americans, the illegals are not stake holders in our country - they are uninvited guests. The squaller they will live in, will be similar to the squaller they left in their home countries.

Some bleeding hearts will want our government to spend hundreds of billions to assimilate these folks into somewhere. But that will not happen. Not enough tea in China. We are broke. Our debt is almost $32T, and show no signs of slowing down. And remember NIMBY. The dream, the vision, of living the Ozzie and Harriet life in America, will end up being just that - a dream. And the dream will become a nightmare for many of them. 

Joe Biden has wondered out loud what his legacy will be. One needs to look no further than the chaos on the southern border to see part of that legacy. To get more Democrat votes, he has ruined countless lives. Put a dent in our country which may not be repairable. 

For those who were cowed into voting for Joe Biden, we are reaping what you have sown. Chaos, inflation, wars, crime, entropy. To make matters worse, it is becoming more and more evident that not only is Biden feeble and incompetent, he is also corrupt. He is truly, the Manchurian Candidate.

Have we forgotten how to "adult"?





"Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for President (I really like this guy), recently said we should raise the voting age to 25. Unless, young people take and pass a course on civics."


I look around over the American landscape, and see much has changed. Truthfully, much of what has changed is not good. I see just about every store or fast food joint we pass by, has a help wanted sign up. Why can't these places find the help they need? I see for the second year in a row, our armed forces have missed some recruiting goals. Why? Are we that short on people, or is many of the younger folk (not all, of course), don't want to grow up and be adults? Good question.

This is what life was like 58 years ago, when I was in high school. My folks told both myself and my sister, that when we graduated from high school, we had choices. 1) Get a job, and if you live at home, pay rent, or 2.) go to college or trade school, and live at home without paying rent. However, if you went to college or trade school, you were expected to work to help pay for tuition. Getting a job was no big deal for me while I was going to college - I was already working part time in high school. 

Kids in my 1967 graduating class were goal oriented. Purpose driven. Right after high school, when most were 17 or 18, we set out on our life path. Some went in the service (the draft was hot back then), some went to college or trade school, and some worked full time. I did not know anyone who wanted to take some time off, travel, and find his or her  "muse". Most were on a schedule. Get out of high school, get trained or educated, get married, buy a house, have kids, start living life.

Today, we have a whole lot of youngins who are lost and confused. Depression, anxiety, suicide, drifting, and many other ills which are endemic these days. I have seen this trend developing even before I retired from the Navy. I would talk to some of the young folks just entering the service as I was getting ready to leave. Some conversations were very awkward.  I really did not understand their world. It was so different from the world I grew up in. 

Today, in our upside down world, where black is white, right is wrong, and politicians lie to our faces 24 x 7, I guess I can understand why some of our young folk check out. Whereas in my generation, our futures stretched out as far as one could see. Today, our government schools are telling kids they have no future. The schools tell them their parents have ruined the planet, and we all have only a few years left before all hell breaks loose. So they check out. Drop out. Refuse to become an adult.

Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for President (I really like this guy), recently said we should raise the voting age to 25. Unless, young people take and pass a course on civics. Then they could vote under the age of 25. Why would he suggest such a thing? Adulting. Many young folks under the age of 25 don't know enough to vote. They are not yet adults. Too brainwashed by the government school system. My feeling? Vivek has a great idea. 

No hate mail please! This is something I have wanted to address for some time now. I may be dead wrong, but this is the way I see the world.

Our bifurcated press



"And our 'fourth estate' - the free press? I would say that died a long time ago. Right now, our press is no better than Pravda - maybe worse." 


Yesterday, Fox News carried the Representative Comer (and company) presser. It related to the bank records, which had been found showing the money transfers coming into shell corporations run by the Biden crime family. Was there the smoking gun which directly implicated the "Big Guy" with the dough? Not yet visible. But I will say this - it looks like the forest fire is all around Joe Biden, and is starting to torch members of his immediate family.

At the same time, George Santos, the rather peculiar rookie congressman from New York, was charged by Merrick Garland for "jaywalking". Normally, not a big deal for people who are not Republicans. But this was HUGE! In fact, the Biden crime family presser, got some major coverage on Fox News, and (ready for it?) - zero minutes on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and so forth. But Fox also covered the Santos incident. 

Much has been said about the incredible bias the DOJ has shown to the Democrats. The proof of that has been immutable. The FBI for example, has offered zero support to Comer's investigation. If they had, the "smoking gun" might have been there. But it was not, so Comer has to nibble around the edges, like with banking records. Another blaring example of DOJ weaponization and bias.

But the press is laughable. It is not like they keep their bias hidden anymore - they wear it on their sleeve. To them, in the rare incidents they cover Republican anything, it is like blood sport to them. Just look at the way CNN covered the Trump town hall last night. CNN once again, showed their true colors. Trump was right - the CNN host was a nasty lady. And very unprofessional to boot.

Biden is always yelling into the camera, saying "We need to protect our Democracy!" Well Joe, once again, we have a Republic, and not a Democracy. Next, if we wanted to have a fair country, we would have an unbiased DOJ. Remember that Lady Justice is blindfolded, and we are not to put our finger on her scales of justice. And our "fourth estate" - the free press? I would say that died a long time ago. Right now, our press is no better than Pravda - maybe worse.

Breaking eggs to make an omelet...

 




"Until that happens, when something new and amazing comes along, we are stuck with the severe limitations of chemical rockets. And with chemical rockets, even Mars is a long, long journey away."  



Meanwhile, as the world spins out of control with wars, dysfunctional politics, and growing mayhem, there still is a space race which continues to march forward. When the ultra heavy SpaceX rocket (Starship) blew up shortly after launch on April 20th of this year, the naysayers came out in mass. "Elon is doing too much, too soon. He has way too much on his plate, and is pushing way too hard!" What did Elon think of what happened when his expensive Starship blew up a bit over minute after launch? He shrugged his shoulders, and thought it was just an average Thursday. Why would he think that? Because Elon knows you need to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

Jeff Bezos is also paying attention to what is going on with SpaceX. Why? He is still in the game. And so is NASA. In fact, NASA is not only a competitor of SpaceX, they are also a customer. So, what is in the offing for Blue Origin? Have not heard much from them as of late. As usual, Elon sucks all the oxygen out of the space race air. 

Get used to hearing the name New Glenn. That is the name of Blue Origin's answer to Starship. Both are "super heavy lifters", and are being made for life traveling to the Moon and beyond. Bezos also has some new rockets being developed for his Blue Ring project. Rockets which can deliver small satellites into low Earth orbit at a very reasonable cost. And I think Jeff might have learned a lesson. Make rockets which do not look like a giant sex object. Just saying... 

Despite Vladimir Putin threatening to blow everyone up on almost a daily basis, and China threatening war in the Pacific over Taiwan, good things are happening here on planet Earth. Even NASA is making progress, albeit at NASA's usual snail's pace. Work in progressing on the development on the Gateway Lunar Space Station, which will be an important link on NASA's Artemis Program. That will happen, just not as fast as Bezos and Musk operate. Why not? If NASA breaks a few eggs to make an omelet, the taxpayers will be crying bloody murder. For private launches such as SpaceX and Blue Origin to break a few eggs? Not so much.

Least but not forgotten, are other countries who will make big space progress this decade. China, Japan, India, Euro Zone, and maybe even the United Arab Emirates' will be joining the fray. As I have said in previous articles, space is about to get very crowded. But there is a big prize waiting for the country who has the right recipe. A new and improved propulsion system. That is the Golden Fleece, the Big Ticket for whomever can come up with something, anything, which can get mankind to travel at a fraction of light speed.

Until that happens, when something new and amazing comes along, we are stuck with the severe limitations of chemical rockets. And with chemical rockets, even Mars is a long, long journey away.

Tyranny now, anarchy next





"Why anarchy? Mandated EVs. No gas ranges. No more normal air conditioners. No more normal dishwashers. The list goes on and on. All crap not one of us voted for. Crap being shoved down our throats. Enough already!" 



It is amazing, is it not? How much power we have ceded into a diminished President and foot loose Governor? For over two years now, Joe Biden has been ruining our great country. With hundreds of his brainwashed minions in the House, Senate, and staff positions - Biden Inc, has been operating at full tilt. And now that the Republicans have FINALLY taken back Congress, this Biden juggernaut shows no signs of containment. 

In Minnesota, there is no Republican speed bump anymore, to put a muzzle on Tim Walz. Our state government has a trifecta of power. As the rest of us normals are relegated to sit back and watch, Walz Inc. had morphed our midwestern mecca into a gulag. And with the legislation which has just been passed on voting rights, it appears that Republicans have seen their last majority in anything. All that can be said is, sine die.

This week, the dam might break loose. As Chairman Comer recently said, "This is going to be a very bad week for Joe Biden." And all the Chairman was talking about, was the House investigation into the Biden crime family. Comer thinks all the right pieces are in place, with the right witnesses ready to testify, backed up with immutable proof, to put the last  nail in the coffin. But there is more.

On Thursday morning, with Title 42 goes bye bye, the southern border is going to look like nothing short of a full out invasion of America. And who is responsible for this mess? Joe Biden. Our national tyrant. Then to top things off, the debt ceiling negotiations commence this week. All indications are for total failure. Biden will refuse to give up one cent of of the massive debt he burdened us with. So, hello default.

With the tyranny of America as well as Minnesota becoming more and more apparent, what is next? People can only feel helpless for so long, before the next logical step happens. What step is that? Anarchy. Why anarchy? Mandated EVs. No gas ranges. No more normal air conditioners. No more normal dishwashers. The list goes on and on. All crap not one of us voted for. Crap being shoved down our throats. Enough already! 

Buckle up this week folks. It might be a bumpy ride. For those who have always wonder what tyranny feels like, need wonder no more. For those who wonder what total anarchy will look like, be patient. It is only a matter of time.

The Title 42 Debacle





"Remember this the next time you vote folks. When you vote for boobs, this is the result."


This is it. The week most Americans on the southern border have been dreading. It is also the week, that Progressives and illegal immigrants from all over the world have been waiting for. This is the mess that Biden and Mayorkas have made. This is the result of open borders. This is the mess which has helped Biden's poll numbers to sink to a new low. Where if the next election was held today, Biden would be smoked my Donald Trump (that is, if the left's cheating could be contained).

Let me first say something about Biden's henchman, Mayorkas. I don't think I have ever, seen a leader more despised by his organization. The Border Patrol really hate this guy with a passion. Mayorkas has not made their jobs harder - he has made them impossible. And with Title 42 ending, the southern border will look like Armageddon. All because of Biden and Mayorkas.

What has been happening on the southern border since Biden came into office has not just been dereliction of duty - it has been treasonous. For the harm they are causing the country, they should both be impeached, and then put in a super max prison. They really are the worst of the worst. And to think Mayorkas is in charge of our nation's homeland security. What a joke.

Texas is ground zero to this coming invasion. They good people who live there deserve better. Hats off to Governor Abbott - he has done over and above a governor could do on a federal problem. How good is Greg Abbott? He is as good, as Tim Walz is bad.

Nothing good will come out of Title 42 going away. People will die. We just saw that this weekend, when a group of illegals was hit on the highway by a vehicle. Eight were killed and many other injured. The drive who hit them was "uncooperative". Could he have done this on purpose? Out of frustration and anger? Time will tell. More carnage however, could be in the offing. Citizens down there are at the end of their rope.

Remember this the next time you vote folks. When you vote for boobs, this is the result. We have a clown car in Washington, and the folks on the southern border are taking the brunt of it. This will be a hard week. Maybe the hardest since Biden slipped into office. Stay tuned.
