HEAVENS NO IF IT DOESN'T FIT THE NARRATIVE

A staggering new Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) report states that this year alone, nearly 620 Christians have already been murdered, and homes and churches have been destroyed by Islamic radicals in just Nigeria alone because of their faith.  Blacks. 

Where is the outrage? Where are the "black lives matter" screams and cries for their black brother and sisters? 

Crickets. I suppose those black lives don't matter as much as the life of a life long violent criminal and drug addict who is caught in the act of committing a felony while intoxicated on Fentanyl.   Or is it that it doesn't fit the narrative?

Hey Jews ... if 650 Jews were murdered in any country BECAUSE they were Jews, would we let that slide?  Don't we care about Christian lives who are murdered for their faith too?  Or do we just have more politically desirable issues to tackle than Muslims killing Christians? In other words, let's concentrate on situations that fit the narrative.

What lesson did we learn from all the violent looting, rioting, assaults and deaths, arson and other destruction as of late from the killing of George Floyd?  

Evidently Democrats think the lesson is to blame police and de-fund them. That is tied in stupidity with Cuomo's decision to force people with the corona-virus into nursing homes while releasing them from prisons. 

Have there been any smart moves?  Yes, fortunately there was President Trump who pressured states to call up the National Guard, a military force, to stop the riots and violence. 

How did Trump pressure the states?  By threatening to use Federal troops if the states didn't call up their Guards.  It worked; some 30 states acted. It worked and the looting and rioting subsided!!  Contrast that result with Democrat Mayors who told police to stand down and watch the violent lawlessness. Is the President given credit for his action? Heavens NO - It doesn't fit the narrative.

And lest we not forget who has been leading the charge to get fentanyl and other opioids off the streets.  Yup, the President. Is the President given credit for his action? Heavens NO - It doesn't fit the narrative.

There was also the smart actions of our great Attorney General who organized efforts between numerous branches of our justice system (ATF, FBI, US Marshall's, etc) to find and prosecute the criminals ravaging our public places including houses of worship such as John's Church in D.C.

Is the AG given credit for his action? Heavens NO - It doesn't fit the narrative.

So who is going to deal with the police unions who have made it nearly to impossible to remove bad cops in cities like Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, D.C, and Baltimore?  Who negotiates the changes needed? That would be the politicians running those cities whose negotiations put us in the mess that cost George Floyd his life!  That would be the Democrat mayors and administrations that have run these cities for many decades!! 

Democrats taking on Unions??? Really. Right, they won't. Because it is so much more politically beneficial for Democrats to repeat the chant "Black Lives Matter" and blame the problem on America, White Supremacist, Conservative voices. But that bullshit isn't selling so well now that enough folks are figuring out the problem.  And by enough folks I mean black folks in these same cities who are fed up with the lies and HYPOCRISY of their political leaders and are beginning to listen to black Conservative voices. That's right -- Black Conservative Voices!!

So what's a Democrat to do?? Acknowledge their mistakes and hold Unions accountable. Heavens NO - It doesn't fit the narrative.

They need a new approach that let's them still play the race card.  One that fits their narrative.  Answer:  Defund the police.  The a perfect cover.  OR IS IT?! 

It is always about the narrative.  It always has to fit the narrative!  

THE HYPOCRISY IS GREATER THAN THE TRUTH.

GOD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT POLLS

Have you noticed how some media are constantly reporting politcal polls showing that Biden is leading over Trump in popularity?  Why do they care so much about polls?  

Polls are important for rational logical people. They are "scientific." They are based on empirical data, rather that just theory.  So they carry weight when trying to win an argument or prove a point.  The polls are key to the narrative the Left needs to convince voters of.  Polls provide the social proof that adds psycholgical influence to their case to defeat Trump. 

For Trump haters, polls are very meaningful in another way. They are reassuring. They help to quell their fears. 

Hate is very often rooted in fear. Trump haters are terribly afraid of Trump winning a second term. The thought of a Trump/Pence victory and 4 more years is frightful.  Stations such as MSNBC and CNN, which cater to the Left, are invested in that fear. They promote it. And they know that their audience needs reassurance.  

The news media plays to fear.  They have a great formula which they leverage time & again.  The news business exploits fear to get viewers to tune in and keep watching: Fear, suspense and relief. Repeat and amplify.  

The major stations, the so called mainstream media (a.k.a. Fake News) aren't simply reporting the news objectively.  They are biased and they have a political agenda to defeat Trump.  They work overtime to achieve that objective.  

By overtime I really mean all the time: Morning, noon and night, weekdays and weekends. The mainstream media fosters a state of perpetual hate and fear. Without the relief which the polls provide their audience would have a considerably more difficult time coping with the fear the media has instilled. 

The mainstream media stokes and fan the flames of hate. That leads to fear. Viola, their audience tunes in for validation of their hate and comfort from their fear. But the dynamic runs deeper than that. Deep down this is about mankind's relationship to God.

By definition, Secularist don't believe in God and reject religion. They believe "God" has no place in the affairs of the State or education.  I see the situation a bit different.  I think secularist have a "new" god.  They have put their faith in a political Party.  They have built idols and false gods. Mans' Law is all that matters, which is why the Supreme Court is everything. 

Trump hating secularists who have put their faith in the Democrat political party value the polls as proof of the righteous superiority. 

At the crux of why the polls matter so much to secularist on the Left is the need they have for proof that their "new god" is right and more powerful.

There's more than a few problems with this secular belief system. To begin with, America is a Nation rooted in the belief of God.  The USA owes it's very existence as a nation to the power of God's glory.  "In God we trust."  If we don't trust in God and we lose God's approval, it is over for America.  Don't believe me, look at your money. It's worthless if our nation stops believing in God. 

Trump supporters mock the polls.  One reason is that we all remember what happened in 2016. There is evidence that the polls can't be trusted.  This is very unsettling for Trump haters! 

The main reason why many Trump supporters don't particularly care what the polls say is quickly dismissed by secularist. It ties to the point made in the title of this post.  GOD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT POLLS. 

God doesn't care about the "odds." Polls are meaningless to God.  God's Will be done. Faithful Trump supporters see it from a Biblical perspective:  

Proverbs 3: 5-6 
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Perhaps the best Bible Story which speaks to why Trump supporters put their faith in God rather than poll numbers is the history of the Battle of Gideon at Gideon's Well.  

If you are unfamiliar with the story, in a nutshell, it is about how God selected just 300 faithful soldiers, out of 32k of Israel's soldiers to go into battle against an army of 135k of their enemies comprised of Midianites, Amalekites and others from the east.  300 defeat 135,000.

Gideon is known as the greatest judge of Israel. But when we first meet him in the Old Testament we find a timid man hiding from his enemies.  He comes from the least of Tribes and is called by God to defeat a huge group of people who are depleting the Nation's supplies.

Here is a brief and entertaining video that shows you Gideon's well today and tells the story.

https://youtu.be/YWm0MhzEfvw. 

It is key to understand what follows after God calls Gideon to lead the Israelite's into battle.  God selects Gideon's army in a fascinating way.  Gideon and God's faithful are victorious even though they are out numbered 450 to 1.  

When the battle starts, as instructed by God, Gideon's 300 man army sounds their Trumpets and smashes jars as they charge the massive enemy camp.  The enemy is so rattled and afraid that they become confused and start killing one another.  

Those who believe we are living in special times and that this Presidential battle is in God's hands, are not fearful. Nor do the believers pay much mind to the polls.  They are focused on faith. 

By the way, just because one goes to temple or church does NOT mean they have faith.  There is a great chasm between practicing a religion and walking in faith.  God is well aware of what is in our heart, be it faith or be it hate. 

I notice another similarity between today and the Story of Gideon.  Like Gideon, Trump selects only the faithful and fearless to go into battle. Any who are lacking faith are sent away.  Trump is well know for creating fear and confusion in his enemies camp when he and his supporters sound their trumpets. 

As much as Trump haters don't want to admit it, the polls don't comfort them like they used to.  After Trump came from the least expected place, defied the polls and virtually every expert to defeat the huge Clinton army in the 2016 election, the polls are not as trusted by anyone.

Previous Post - Proclaim Liberty 

PROCLAIM LIBERTY (AND 13) THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

PROCLAIM LIBERTY (AND 13) THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

America is not defined by Racism.  The fact is that the majority of hate crimes are anti-Semetic and I don't believe that America is defined as Anti-Semitic either. There will always be racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism but they do not define our nation.  America is more diverse, open and tolerant than any country in the world. 

I am certain that if either George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King Jr were able to observe the progress our nation has made in terms of equality they would be quite pleased. One exception would be Reverend King's disappointment in how little black lives matter to other blacks!  I am certain King would shed tears if he saw his brothers & sisters destroying property and looting stores.  Neither justice or Dr. King's "dream" are achieved by those actions.  On the other hand, Dr. King would take great satisfaction and comfort in the fact that the police officer who murdered Floyd was immediately arrested.

Frankly, I think the phrase BLM itself is racist. Black lives matter NOT because they are black. They matter because they are human beings!  Juries shouldn't see color and God certainly doesn't. The only color that matters is that we all bleed red. 

Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream and it doesn't resemble the violent BLM riots we are seeing on today's streets. They remind me of the Obama years when BLM and Antifa protests were common and would often turn violent. 

Judging people on the color of their skin is the opposite of what I believe Dr. King was dreaming about.

I do NOT believe it is coincidence that the American 13 cent stamp is minted to remember and commemorate the Liberty Bell.

Perhaps the most dramatic moment in the Torah revolves around the events of the Golden Calf. Furious at the idol-worship days after the giving of the Torah, God threatens the destruction of those who took part.

Moses, through heroic self-sacrifice and prayer, persuades God to not only renege on His threat, but to teach him the 13 Attributes of Mercy, through which the Jewish people can gain mercy at even the most perilous of times.

The number 13 has other significance in Judaism. There is the totality of the 12 Tribes plus the Levites; the age of barmitzvah.

Perhaps the most auspicious quality of 13 relates to the Gematria (numerical value) of words that equal 13. The world echad the Shema, which is he central pray of Judaism, has a vslue of 13.  Echad is 'one’ but Echad is a special type of "one." It is a multi-part complex unit. 13 is also the gematria of the Hebrew word for "Love." So we have One Love

Believing that America is a racist nation is a self-fulfilling negative affirmation. I have a higher belief in America.  We are a Nation under God that fought it's bloodiest war ever 160 years ago to abolish slavery. 

The Liberty Bell with it's biblical expression "Proclaim Liberty throughout the land" is what defines America.  The Liberty Bell is like America's Shofar.  When the shofar (the ram's horn) is sounded we harken back to Sinai and when the world recieved the Tablets of Testimony, otherwise known as The Law. The trumpet is also blown on Judgment Day (Yom Kippur) to call out the start of the Jubilee year. A year when the Lands are restored. 

For decades the Liberty Bell was sounded during a significant ceremony on President Washington's birthday.  I believe we should rekindle the tradition of sounding and hearing the Liberty Bell with a grand national ceremony. During that ceremony we should hear great speeches which remind us of the character, sacrafice and accomplishments of our first President.  

During this newly rekindled ceremony I envision prayer would play a central part.  The theme for the ceremony could use the prayer from Leviticus that is forged into the Liberty Bell as the central theme for the occasion.   

A key purpose of the ceremony would be to teach our citizenry the principles our nation was founded on.  In particular, during the ceremony we should all take lessons from our Founding Father's Farewell Letter in which Washington warned us that Partisanship would destroy our Nation and is a greater threat than any external enemy.  Washington warned Americans to never forget that we recieve our moral authority from God, not government and certainly not a political party.

Like the Children of Israel at Sinai, Americans have fashioned Political Parties into a Golden Calf.  We have made Parties into false gods.

America needs to be restored! Let's ring the Liberty Bell and PROCLAIM LIBERTY AND ONE NATION UNDER GOD THROUGHOUT THE LAND.  Surely this would please Washington, Lincoln, Dr. King and God.

BLACK LIVES DON'T MATTER . . .

. . . ENOUGH!   

The slogan Black Lives Matter is often said to suggest that our society doesn't value blacks and is systematically racist. I do NOT accept that premise.  Black lives matter tremendously. 

It is obvious that they matter, in politics, in government jobs, in fashion, in music, in sports and entertainment, in all walks of life. America has black poet laureates and black Presidential Cabinet members and a black Surgeon General. Our last two term President was black. And MANY MANY police officers are black.

America is not defined by Racism.  The fact is that the majority of hate crimes are anti-Semetic and I don't believe that America is defined as Anti-Semitic either. There will always be racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism but they do not define our nation.  America is more diverse, open and tolerant than any country in the world.  

I am certain that if either George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King Jr were able to observe the progress our nation has made in terms of race they would be quite pleased.  With one exception. Reverend King would be greatly disturbed by how little black lives matter to other blacks!  I am certain King would shed tears if he watched his brothers & sisters destroying property and looting stores.  Neither justice or Dr. King's "dream" are achieved by those actions.  At least Dr. King would take great satisfaction and comfort in the fact that the police officer who murdered Floyd was immediately arrested. 

Blacks Live Matter, but based on what I see, black lives don't matter ENOUGH to blacks  If BLACK LIVES MATTERED MORE:

• Blacks would be voting out politicians, like the mayor of Minneapolis who do NOT keep their promises to get rid of bad cops and change the laws that allow the use of choke holds like the one that killed George Floyd. They would also demanding that Police Unions not obstruct the removal of bad cops. 
• Blacks wouldn't call other blacks "coons" and "Uncle Tom's" when they are critical of Democratic policies which they believe have lead to many of the problems in their black communities.
• There wouldn't be such a disproportionate number of blacks being shot and killed by blacks;
• Their wouldn't be as many black babies aborted
• America wouldn't be a country with millions of fatherless black sons;
• Blacks would drive the drug dealers out of their own neighborhoods;
• Blacks would not tolerate looting, violence and the destruction of property in their communities; 
• Blacks wouldn't tolerate children dropping out of high school since a good education is a way out of "the projects." 

The data and this black man support what I am saying. 

Ironically, it is acceptable to discriminate in favor of blacks and against whites in order to offer positions and opportunities to blacks on the basis of ethnicity.  It is called affirmative action.

Believing that America is a racist nation is a self-fulfilling negative affirmation. I have a higher belief in America.  We are a Nation under God that fought it's bloodiest war ever 160 years ago to abolish slavery.  The Liberty Bell with it's biblical expression "Proclaim Liberty throughout the land" is what defines America.  

Frankly, I think the phrase BLM itself is racist. Black lives matter NOT because they are black. They matter because they are human beings!  Juries shouldn't see color and God certainly doesn't. The only color that matters is that we all bleed red.  

Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream and it doesn't resemble the violent BLM riots we are seeing on today's streets. Judging people on the color of their skin is the opposite of what I believe Dr. King was dreaming about.

We hear politicians time and again running for leadership in cities like Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Newark, NYC, D.C. and elsewhere on the saying "black lives matter." They win elections over and again and the conditions stay the same in inner cities. 

LIFE MATTERS. And when it doesn't matter, as in the case of murder, crime and abortion, the disproportionate probability black lives are affected and or involved.  

POVERTY MATTERS. We need leadership that builds up lives and communities through policies that lead to prosperity rather than dependence. Prosperity is the best answer to the financial despair that is destroying lives. 

JOBS MATTER. We need leadership that creates all kinds of jobs by bringing back manufacturing and promoting vocational training.  Jobs are the launching pad out of poverty.  Jobs take the neighborhoods back from the criminals. 

AUTHORITY MATTERS. When people don't respect the authority of the police, cops end up in situations where they have to use force. The odds of a mistake and people getting seriously injured increase dramatically when force becomes a requirement for handling a criminal situation. 

Protests which label the police as racist cause citizens, especially angry young black men, to devalue and disrespect the authority of the police which in turn increases the chance that police are required to use of force to handle a matter. If police are in more situations where they have to use force it is inevitable that there will be more injury and death.  Therefore, the narrative about systemic racism by police will actually lead to more tragedies such as George Floyd. 

The attitude of "de-funding the police" will contribute to the disrespect of authority.  Police have an obligation to defend citizens and neighborhoods.  Telling police to "stand down" as people's businesses are looted and their property is destroyed is insanity. 

FAMILY MATTERS. Our earliest and lifelong role models are parents, for better or worse.  Too often it is for the worse in black families that lack of father. Young black men are at greater risk of choosing the wrong role models. Children need to be taught lessons on a daily basis from on young age. That responsibility shouldn't fall on just a mother. The fatherless epidemic is encouraged by policies, which however well intended, have had dire consequences for the black family structure. 

FAITH MATTERS. God and faith lifts people's spirits and strengthens them to do battle against the evil forces and events in their life. We need leaders who recognize that moral authority comes from God, NOT a political party.

EMPATHY MATTERS. My heart empathizes with the ANY parents who are working hard to provide their children with a better life in a home committed to family and devoted to a higher authority, education, work ethic, love and respect for others. My heart empathizes with the parents whose struggles are so much worse because they have to deal with violence, crime, drugs and other damaging images that their children are faced with in their own neighborhoods. 

President Trump's appeal to blacks during his Presidential campaign was brilliantly simple and it worked, because it made so much sense. He simply said "What do you have to lose?" He didn't make any promises, he ran against the horrible track record of a past President who promised "Hope & Change" and delivered nothing while he and our nation watched a growing number of violent BLM protests.  

Trump got his chance and he increased funding to black colleges, introduced economic development zones and brought about the greatest economic improvement for the black workers in history!  He also started to turn back conditions that were sending blacks to prison for long sentences. President Trump listened to leaders in the black community with real plans for positive change. Obama listened to a tax evader Al Sharpton who divides America and perpetuates racist sentiments.

Last but not least . . .

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SAVING BLACK LIVES JUST LIKE GEORGE FLOYD!

George Floyd's autopsy showed a "significant condition" fentanyl intoxication.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times stronger than morphine. Every year some 30,000 people die from overdoses involving synthetic opioids (other than methadone). China is the #1 source for fentanyl. 

President Trump has worked harder than any other President to stop shipments of fentanyl into the USA by better controlling our southern border and putting pressure on China. As a result of the Administration's efforts, for the first time we saw a reduction in the number of deaths from opioid overdoses. 

Trump has also spoken out about cities such as Minneapolis, Baltimore, Chicago and others where their is systemic poverty, crime and drugs. Cities that have been cotrolled by Democratic governments for decades. 

THE HYPOCRISY IS GREATER THAN THE TRUTH.

Consider this black woman's perspective:

Some advice from Blacks for Blacks. 

Let's do a deeper dive into George Floyd's record and what MATTERS. 

TAKE THE RED PILL!

TAKE THE RED PILL!

Minneapolis has a Democratic mayor and is largely governed by Democrats for decades and has a black police chief.  They both allow the restraint method that killed George Floyd, despite expert advise.

Minneapolis is one of many other cities in the USA with large black populations and Democratic leadership which are fraught with rampant poverty and crime, despite massive Federal financial support.

These cities have been governed in ways which have perpetuated poverty, drugs and households WITHOUT a father. Children are very often in a hopeless situation without positive role models and terrible future prospects.

As young teens, on the streets and looking for cash, the young men turn to crime because they are taught to be criminals by the generations of men before them. Violence is inevitable.  Women turn to pregnancy and welfare, taking on multiple partners and having multiple children to multiple fathers. They don't stop even after they don't want more babies, and Democrats have the solution for that - abortion.

Yet Democrats blame Republicans rather than acknowledging the system is broken, taking responsibility and working with Republicans for solutions.

Republicans who point out the failures are called racists. And whenever an incident such as George Floyd happens they say America is racist - and the solution is vote Democrat. Exploiting race is a primary political strategy for Democrats for 60 years. The Democratic response to what happened in Minneapolis is just another example in a very familiar pattern.

Biden meant what he said when he said "If you vote for Trump (and Conservatives) you ain't black."

Let's not lose sight of the fact that George Floyd was being arrested for the Federal crime of using counterfeit money.  He did resist and the officer was using a legal method of restraint, albeit incorrectly.  Nonetheless, when an incident like George Floyd happens the intercity population have every right and reason to protest! They should demand justice.  They should demand that their Democratic leaders stop allowing methods that has been outlawed in many other places across the USA!  

What is important, and the mainstream media and Democrats are not doing is praising the fact that JUSTICES IS BEING SERVED!  Police responsible were arrested. Others will be fired. The President and AG immediately acted and promised justice and are seeing to it that justice is quickly executed. They are also trying to deescalate the violence which hurts innocent citizens and businesses.

President Trump's response.

AG Barr's response. 

The Leftist anarchists want REVOLUTION.

Antifa, Soros and other Leftist that want to overthrow the Founder's vision of America PLAN AND WAIT for opportunities such as Minneapolis. They organize violent riots and looting. They destroy the very businesses and economy that was starting to develop in cities which offered some hope.

Signs of hope were springing up in a big way for blacks in the economic development zones that the President had launched! The Administration's economic development zones were working -- Private investment, lower tax benefits and Capitalism was working! This is a nightmare for Communist, Socialists and other Far left ideologues.

Alt Left anarchists exploit race to destroy the hopeful opportunities which a vibrant economy presents for upward mobility.

For many decades it has been a viscous cycle for poor intercity communities with large black populations. The buildings and infrastructure looks like a war zone. In many residential communities the housing is so dilapidated that it would literally be better to bulldoze the entire street and start over.

This is why President Trump ran for President by famously saying to blacks, "WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE!" That same theme came center stage with Baltimore and the failures there Trump pointed out when he criticized it's Federal elected Representative Elijah Cummings.

The way a Minneapolis police officer restrained George Floyd before he died — placing his knee on Floyd's neck while the man lay on his stomach — is widely discredited by law enforcement experts because it can cause suffocation. Many cities prohibit this method but NOT Minneapolis! Wonder why??

Both the current Mayor and police chief in Minneapolis ran on a platform of change!! There have been many other incidents and complaints in the past!

It was time to give President Trump a chance. He was having a positive difference. Then covid came along. Once again, crime seemed like the only way up.

THE BIGGER PICTURE:  We are coming into a presidential election!!  There are no coincidences.

AS BAD AS DEMOCRATS WANT TO GET RID OF TRUMP, THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY WANTS TO GET RID OF HIM EVEN MORE. THERE IS A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE CCP AND MAINSTREAM MEDIA!

I find it disturbingly coincidental that the country which would most like to remove President Trump and replace him with CCP friendly president Biden is China.

After resisting Trump's efforts to negotiate better trade deals for over 3 years, in the exact same weeks that China is finally giving in, the virus is announced. The virus is literally spreading in China at the exact time when The final details of the China deal are being inked.

And we know there is a second phase to deal that the administration is pushing for that will put the Communist party under even greater pressure to be fair and forthright in trade with the USA. A model which no doubt other countries will push for. If Trump wins a second term China would surely be subject to much greater pressure!

With impeachment off the table, China knew that their best last hope for seeing trump removed would be the failure of the US economy which was doing so phenomenally under Trump. Solution - the Wuhan virus.

Plus, the virus was an effective means of killing the older population in China who were an unproductive burden on the CCP who were facing extreme pressure to provide better health care. With the "one child policy" presenting many problems for the CCP, maybe it was time to attack population growth from the other end of the life spectrum.

I realize this is conjecture. But I do not put anything past the draconian evil CCP.  And as we've seen with the Russian Hoax and the Ukraine Hoax and 3 years of impeachment attempts, we can't put anything past the Democratic Party and the Deep State's attempt to gain back the power and money of the White House.
