So listen, I don’t want to sound uncharacteristically somber and serious, nor do I want people to think I’m a total conspiratress. I am you know, I do love a good conspiracy theory. The problem being this isn’t a “theory,” it’s simply common sense. So, I just want to say, those who are waiting patiently for things to “get back to normal,” it ain’t happening. It ain’t going to happen.

Those who seem to believe if we just comply enough, just cooperate enough, just do everything they say, (wear your mask you idiot, so we can all open back up again) it ain’t going to happen.

If you’re waiting for covid 19 to go away, it aint going to happen either.  We could get down to no cases anywhere and there’s another “pandemic” right around the corner waiting for us. The media is already on it.

Government and public health…

Well, we just passed through the calm before the storm! July 1 opened the door to the new legislation enacted in Richmond during the winter session. After much hard work to enact them, pro-life laws that were on the books for years are now history.

Here is a list of those requirement rejections:

1. Women will not be given full information before they have an abortion.
2. They will NOT have opportunity to view an ultrasound of their baby before the abortion.
3. Abortionists are no longer required to give the mother documents from the Department of Health about risks of abortion, fetal development or her legal rights if she is in danger.
4. The mother will not be given 24 hours to consider her decision to have an abortion: she will have no waiting period in which to change her mind .
5. Non-physician nurse practitioners (who may or not have a ‘doctor’s degree…

90% of the news media is owned by five big corporations. The primary reason these companies own news media outfits is to further the interests of the corporation, not to inform us. So, we cannot trust the news media. Here is an example. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued guidance indicating that our children should go back to school this fall. Here is the critical excerpt.

With the above principles in mind, the AAP strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school. The importance of inperson learning is well-documented, and there is already evidence of the negative impacts on children because of school…

Who wants to change the world? Not I! When I was very young somebody smart asked me, “what makes you think the world even wants to change?” It’s a really good philosophical question to ponder. Usually everybody always wants to change the world, but nobody ever wants to change themselves. Did the world even consent to your plans to give it a make over?

When you are all full of idealism and want to change the world, or perhaps burn it down as a group recently suggested, sometimes it’s good to try to figure out what your motivation is. Also, once you have totally burned down the whole world, it can be useful to think about what you might replace it with.

I’ve been watching people up close and personal, try to change the world since the 1960’s.  What strikes me as kind of interesting, the more things change the…

I can sympathize in many ways with all the social unrest going on today, and many things certainly do need to change in how we see and treat one another. That’s not my point here. As a follower of Jesus, I have to ask a bigger question with regard to the unique times we find ourselves living in: How would Jesus have us respond to our current cultural climate?

We live in historic, perilous times! Our nation teeters on the edge of capitulating to the Left and the utter destruction of our values and freedom. We cannot afford to ignore the voiceless at such a time as this!

Abortion is a huge blot on our nation’s conscience. Its example and bane have spread to the entire world! As believers in God, His Word and our constitutional government, Americans must revoke this horrible murderous practice by encouraging Congress to enact the “Life at Conception Act.”

When SCOTUS handed down Roe v Wade, it left an obvious loophole for science to fill one day–and that day is NOW! Science has demonstrated that life DOES begin at conception. With that fact before us, the “Life at Conception Act” would nullify Roe v Wade and ban abortion in our great nation!…

1919 Ford Motor Car and Truck operating manual (from here (en.wikipedia.org))
Why do automobile companies go to the trouble of putting together an owner’s manual? Cars are complicated. Eventually, everyone gives up and uses their owner’s manual.

It’s an old joke.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

Look around. Lots of people are upset with other people (see Americans are the unhappiest they’ve been in 50 years, poll finds (nbcnews.com)). Why? There are innumerable excuses. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and now the angst surrounding the George Floyd riots obviously contribute to the unhappiness of Americans with our country, but there are really too many excuses to list. Still, this unhappiness is an odd thing. We live in a rich country. We are still a free people. So long as we do not infringe upon the rights of our fellow citizens, we each have the right to do whatever we…
