I guess people don't give much thought to Pakistan having 200 nuclear warheads. I wondered how India and Pakistan both got nuclear warheads during the Clinton administration. Not a lot was said about it. Very much a curiosity to me. I waited for months for an answer since say the middle of last year. I finally got it and its hard to find lol. Hannity was interviewing Colonel North when they both gave out the answer. Saudi Arabia funded the entire Pakistan nuclear program. I don't know but a lot of things seemed to fall into place after that radio program and i was just a bit shook. This may explain why Iran is seeking nuclear weapons and we may have a middle eas…

Since I was a young boy, I have watched presidential speeches; first, with my parents when I was young and usually played with toys on the floor in front of the television and then, on my own, paying close attention; even taking notes at times. What has always bothered me, with every president, was not their speeches, but how the congress would interrupt them every few sentences or so with standing applause. It has always driven me mad and I have always wondered how much shorter their speeches would be if it weren't for all of the interruptive applause. So, I did an experiment this evening. I downloaded Trump's speech from last night. I found a copy on YouTu…

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." If the Declaration of Independence is merely acknowledging and asserting what is a natural fact of life, how can we say that a person needs to be a legal citizen of the United States in order to receive those rights? According to the above quote, rights are given to all men by God, not government.

Another atrocity in Germany. A truck driven into a crowd at a Christmas Market. Killed at least 12 and wounded about 50. The original driver of the suspected hijacked Polish truck is said to have been found shot in his cab. He was first reported to be a co driver. A suspect has been arrested but Police now have doubts that he is involved. He is a Pakistani refugee who arrived in Merkle Land about a year ago. Nigel Farage is verbaly abused for blaming her, and being threatened of legal action for acusing the husband of the murdered MP Jo Cox of supporting terrorism. Many years ago, (in 1968 actually) Conservative MP Enoch Powell made what is remembered as…

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/12/22/islamic-state-urges-attacks-us-churches-during-holidays/95746982/ The Islamic State is urging its followers to attack U.S. churches and has published names and addresses of thousands of prospective targets, according to a report in the news website Vocativ. Messages posted in Arabic to the group’s “Secrets of Jihadis” social media site called "for bloody celebrations in the Christian New Year." The post, under the name Abu Marya al-Iraqi, said the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, hopes to tap lone wolf attackers to “turn the Christian New Year into a bloody horror movie,” Vocativ reports. The seri…

Now we have some states...paying hundreds of thousands of dollars (one over one million) to do recounts of the votes in hopes of over-turning the election results. And I thought the hanging-chad incident of the Bush-Gore election results was weird. Liberals are never satisfied. I'm so tired of all of this mess. Real-life lesson #574... Babies cry until they get what they want...and then they cry after they get what they want, because they want more...or...they didn't like what they were given instead of what they wanted. The end result? A crying baby.

Bob Dillon has won a Nobel Prize. My wife said "What on earth for?" I said "The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, The answer my friend is blowing in the wind," "Go away from my window, leave at your own chosen speed, you're not the one you want, Bob, you're not the one we need."

I have decided to make it illegal for any political campaign, politician or news media outlet or event to use any music other than the following: Also, I believe that I am officially done with anything political. No more news, no more voting, no more political conversations. I will not vote for a lesser of two evils any longer. I will not cast my vote for either a godless, unrepentant, megalomaniacal buffoon who publicly admits to being sexually attracted to his own daughter, can't tell the truth about a single thing and doesn't believe he has any reason to ask God's forgiveness or a godless, unrepentant, megalomaniacal witch who supports slaughte…

I live really close to Sacramento, and this church was actually one that I was considering visiting before I heard about this. Correct me if I'm wrong but this seems a little uncalled for.

Brethren, As most of you know, in spite of our problems with our government, I love our country and for what it stands for. The United States of America is still one of the shiniest beacons for Democracy in the world today. I very rarely bring out anything of a personal nature here on Taiwan, but this morning I saw an article in the Taipei Times that gives an example of the fruits of Democracy here in Asia; particulary here on Taiwan. The majority of Chinese here on Taiwan are Democratic and pro-America. As an American, we are repsected and liked. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2016/05/18/2003646514 God bless America, Land that I Love! …

This is a petition to the British Govt so you probably cannot enter it but I put it here as a news item. The 38-year-old student and father of four, Felix Ngole, has recently been expelled from his course of study by the University of Sheffield because of a Facebook post he shared which expressed his disagreement with same-sex “marriage”. Felix made the comments last September on his facebook page in relation to Kim Davis, the marriage clerk from Kentucky who refused to issue a marriage licence to a same-sex couple. He defended her freedom of conscience and in the course of discussion expressed his view on the Bible’s teaching on sexual ethics. …

I have been watching the police operation on France 24. They have just said one gunman hs been "neutraiised" The second news story is of a Cardinal Archbishop of Lyon who has been accused of covering up a Paedophile priest who is accused of groping and raping 60 Boy scouts. So it goes on. Any other organization who did this would be closed down.

The elections are underway in the former Burma. It looks as if the opposition are likely to win, but will the military allow it? I used to work with a man from Burma, he had a Welsh father and a Welsh surname. He said that when the army took over after a coup, the bank he worked in had an army officer who knew nothing about banking was put in charge of it. The officer was bored all day and frequently said "Neville, come and play badminton with me." They had a badminton court in the basement. Although Neville had lots of work he couldn't refuse the officer then put it as an order "Neville, come and play badminton with me." Neville didn't put up with th…

Yeppers... many of us have noticed how over the past 50+ years Tom Turkey has been pushed off the road by the fat man in the bright red suit, flying around with his eight tiny reindeer! LOL The over commercialization of Christmas has gotten way out of hand! My parents Western Wear Store would NEVER allow Thanksgiving to be bypassed. None of the decorations for Christmas at their store came out until BLACK FRIDAY. I'm thankful for that. 🤠 -

Have we fallen short in baptisms? And why are baptisms being used as a measure for how strong churches are? Many pastors have seen the futility and falseness of dunking people just for the numbers? They've come to the realization that people need to understand what baptism is, and in the true discipling of people first. In the days of Christ people understood the implications of being baptized into this new religion called Christianity. They could be kicked out of the synagogues, lose their livelihoods, and even their lives. That's exactly what Saul of Tarsus was doing before he had his encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus. -
