Millstone or Milestone? Where does education stand?

Millstone or Milestone? Where does education stand?Believers are faced with a challenge to ensure the next generations are set on the path to a fulfilling life based in faith. Family, the Church and education centered in biblical values is the key to what's necessary to help youth successfully navigate the surrounding culture. Education choices are being whittled down as public schools are focusing more and more on secular social issues instead of core subjects that build character, critical thinking and skills necessary for individual achievement in trade, business or higher education… what used to be called "reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic." The essential three "R's" have evolved into STEM studies that public education has emphasized to the point that learning proper English, unrevised history, geography, civics, etc. is no longer considered crucial to a balanced curriculum.

State AGs fight monster corp from turning the screws on household energy consumption

State AGs fight monster corp from turning the screws on household energy consumptionWhat? How can behemoth asset manager Vanguard affect everyday homeowners’ ability to heat their household in the face of winter’s onset? By setting themselves up to acquire influential numbers of shares of publicly held utilities around the nation, Vanguard will impose ESG, NetZero carbon practices upon power companies as they have already done with other corporations where they’ve packed the boards. While Apple aids CCP crackdowns, using their enormous power – shutting down Air Drop on iPhones – to further subjugate China’s slave labor that feeds Apple’s fortune, it distracts from equally huge corporations swallowing power companies to control America’s energy use.

Why the White House is celebrating a mediocre 'win'

Why the White House is celebrating a mediocre winWaving placards and prancing around the dais, the Biden White House is celebrating because the mail-in election machine has managed to deeply wound the America First movement by depleting the victory with a flood of rhetoric. Delay antics that abound in Arizona, beginning election morning where 20% of polling places in Maricopa County had tabulators rejecting ballots, and harvested votes in Nevada and California, where the practice has been legalized, will not steal the republican wins. Pennsylvania, on the other hand, continued counting ballots with unverified dates, defying the law and court orders.

Good and faithful servant... Do politics count?

Good and faithful servant... Do politics count?The subject of this column may land me in the doghouse with some Christians who consider the concept of a 'political ministry' unsavory, or that there is no such thing. Begging to differ, political ministry has been the focus of personal endeavor for more than two decades. Days before a life changing (or threatening, depending on one's perspective) election is the time to make the case for every Christian's role in politics, how it must be recognized that politics is being driven by secular social and cultural pressure. To take a biblical stance on what role a believer should have in the world, which includes the political process, is to note that Jesus didn't tell His followers to sit back on their haunches and wait for redemption. He pressed them to be vocal about the Kingdom of God and its manifestation in the spirit despite the opposition coming from both the Roman government and His own people comprising the Judean hierarchy.

Does selling a home online fund the ‘Great Reset?’

Does selling a home online fund the ‘Great Reset?’Watching commercial television these days comes with constant hawking of pharmaceuticals, fast food, insurance and, increasingly, home sales to or through online vendors. It’s hard not to question the growing number of real estate ads centering on panicked home mortgagees (most folks don’t hold clear title to their residence) racing to buy a bigger house. In truth, how many homeowners can really afford to move up in a recessionary economy that’s artificially inflating real estate values? Why are corporate property peddlers pitching rushed sales in a market beset by rising interest rates due to the devalued dollar that’s shrinking real wages? Throw in the inflation strangled stock market where 401(K)s and retirement plans have lost $4 Trillion in value as of October 18, 2022, and it’s dubious why homeowners are being pressured to upgrade when their savings are being slashed by pernicious economic policies.

Environmentalists think purposeful pollution will save the world

Environmentalists think purposeful pollution will save the worldWhether talking flights above 40,000 feet or undersea explosions, "greenhouse gasses" are being released into the atmosphere after enacting universal policies to prevent their discharge. Geopolitical upheaval tied to cultural decay, societal deconstruction, famine or border invasions can currently be traced back to one hypothetical premise. If there's an emergency on the face of the earth, at the core will be found "climate change." This culprit, connected by the flimsiest of threads, is blamed for causing wars, hurricanes and the depletion of bee populations.

FBI's been hounding dissenters for decades

FBI's been hounding dissenters for decadesFBI "business calls," raids and curbside harassment of citizens who speak their mind is nothing new. The difference between historic intimidation tactics used by the FBI and the current spate of siege and seizure is that the agency's approach has moved out of the shadows into broad daylight with a few minor additions, like body armor. The FBI hasn't really changed over the last century. Sixty years ago it was families like mine that endured furtive visitations of agents, not directly to those targeted but to their friends, family and work associates. A little background for the benefit of family and others who may not have known about agents making house calls to neighbors and employers – until individuals found themselves out of a job, blackballed at the behest of "officials..."

"Soul of the Nation” attacks the Spirit of America

'Soul of the Nation' attacks the Spirit of AmericaThe speech delivered by Joseph R. Biden, September 1, 2022, did not address the true elements rapidly unraveling the fabric of the United States, collapsing our way of life that was signed into existence at the very location he sullied with threatening rhetoric aimed at this nation’s citizenry – the hallowed Independence Hall.
But I’m an American president -- not the president of red America or blue America, but of all America.”
If this were true, Biden would not be attacking, with full force of language and an administrative junta backing him, more than half the American “We the People” as being the enemy of the America they (not he) venerate.

Open letter to my (and every) congressional representative

Open letter to my (and every) congressional representativeAugust 11, 2022 I attended a town hall in Wallowa County, Oregon conducted by Representative Cliff Bentz and there were a few things that came up that need discussion and solutions. First, it was evident that too many folks have been hoodwinked into believing that the federal seat of power, Washington, D.C., is where they need to go for answers regarding decisions that affect their daily lives. It doesn't matter what issue was raised whether it was healthcare, which one attendee insisted on adding abortion to that "benefit," drug costs, veteran support, access to grazing leases, energy availability or the millions coming across the southern border, their questions came down to one thing – how will the government manage it and, more importantly, pay for it?

Incoming from ALL fronts: Biden election steal is on

Incoming from ALL fronts: Biden election steal is onRaining executive orders (94 to date) in an attempt to force an election outcome that benefits the “liberal world order,” Biden is earmarking billions to ballot drop boxes and instituting climate policies that eviscerate the economy. Relaying news from NY Representative Claudia Tenney, John Lott, Jr. notified America that an executive order has been signed allowing allocation of $1 billion to set-up ballot drop boxes under federal oversight.

Substituting real poison for fake poison

Substituting real poison for fake poisonClimate change is the villain most to be feared and fought, according to the Biden administration, democrats, average educators, media hustlers and the World Economic Forum. And as this confederacy of misinformation mavens preach about the evils of what are referred to as fossil fuels, they are attempting to fast-track the world into dependency on impractical "renewable" energy that adds more toxins to the environment than decades of conventional power generation.

Dems aren't angry over Roe, they're livid about lost control

Dems aren't angry over Roe, they're livid about lost controlThese last weeks have been a tour de force of common sense over political theory and ideology – note that science has and had nothing to do with the squalling of crybaby liberals about the so-called loss of "choice." Reaction attributed to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Clinic decision has served as the catch-all excuse for violence against pro-life activists, pregnancy centers and conservatives in general but it's not what has caused the barbarous fascists (aka Antifa, BLM, et al) to become unglued. It's the crumbling of their reign of terror induced by elected (some fraudulently seated) legislators and appointed autocrats that has them shooting up neighborhoods and burning down buildings. The frenzied screaming and rioting is a tantrum, and a murderous one at that.

Gutting D.C.’s illegitimate authority

Gutting D.C.’s illegitimate authorityThe Biden administration and representatives – who are not – in Congress have been sloughing off their duty to serve the people who elected them. The last point about the elections is debatable considering the overwhelming evidence of widespread fraud. Yes, fraud. The trouble is that local and state officials have been equally derelict in their duty to block and nullify unconstitutional interference from the nation’s capital that has been subjugating the people longer than the two years of Covid madness.

Greenhouse gases”- nomenclature driving international racketeering

Greenhouse gases- nomenclature driving international racketeeringEviscerating oil and gas production that affects power generation (leaving swathes of America suffering expected blackouts), food processing, manufacturing, trucking and travel is proving to be engineered by a cabal of transnational asset managers and government administrators, starting at the White House. Supported by World Economic Forum bandits, corporations are being squeezed to swallow ESG (environmental social governance) protocols or suffer the consequences. The trucking and fuel industries that power the economy are being coerced to severely limit their product and service availability.

Globalist "stakeholders" explain holding nations hostage to WEF salvation

Globalist 'stakeholders' explain holding nations hostage to WEF salvation,Listening to the founder of the World Economic Forum should send chills up any normal person's spine. The language of Klaus Schwab in his welcome address sounds, if anything, like an updated version of a speech given by the founder of the Third Reich (note avoidance of specific names to, hopefully, reduce censorship).
"The future is not just happening, the future is built by us. By a powerful community as you here in this room. We have the means to improve the state of the world but two conditions are necessary. The first one is we act all as stakeholders of large communities. We serve not only our self-interest, we serve the community. That's what we call stakeholder responsibility. And second, that we collaborate. This is the reason why you find many opportunities here during the meeting to engage in very action- and impact- oriented initiatives to make progress related to specific issues on the global agenda."

Proposed WHO amendments can’t be honored by the United States

Proposed WHO amendments can’t be honored by the United StatesCaterwauling about the egregious nature of the amendments to the World Health Organization being submitted by the Biden administration are justifiable in that they must be denied approval. Member states are being asked to sign over their sovereignty to an unelected administrative agency that has not been held accountable for any of its excessive decisions affecting human health issues. (The engineered Covid-19 pandemic makes the case for WHO's incompetence and ignored culpability for multitudes of unnecessary injuries and deaths.)

America First' is 'States First'

 America First' is 'States First'The following statement will doubtless get me in trouble: Set aside all of the hullabaloo about abortion, whether it's right or wrong. Why? Because the leaked opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health is more far-reaching than the murdering of babies in, and in other barbarous cases, outside the womb. It will be hard to let go of this emotionally-driven issue to reach the hard nut inside the probable ruling, but here it is… states' rights, which is ultimately the expression of the people's rights that can nullify the federal “authority.”

Crux of econ disaster: capitulation to climate change rhetoric

Crux of econ disaster: capitulation to climate change rhetoricTwo central issues are driving the economic collapse occurring in America and the rest of the world – two. One is illegal and unimpeded immigration that flooded Europe over the last 15 years, changing the nations from a Christian-based society into a sharia compliant order that condones civil violence against non-muslims, calling evidence-backed criticism "hate speech." Accordingly, since the installation of Biden in the White House there has been a tidal wave of illegal entrants pouring over the southern U.S. border, swamping social services in every state with millions of non-citizen welfare recipients.

‘Hands Across America’ played on hearts; ‘Arms Locking America’ protects the nation’s heart

‘Arms Locking America’ protects the nation’s heartIn 1986, deluded youth (myself included) thought they could change the world by listening to a feel-good song while forming a line that stretched from sea-to-sea across America. Undeniably, it was a moment of believing that Americans could actually work together to benefit humanity, even if it was for the hour or so standing side-by-side chatting about mundane things and enjoying the company of strangers.
