https://tunnel2towers.org/The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

geeez2014Copyright & Fair Use Statement I hereby assert that the purpose of this blog is educational/informative in matters of politics and faith. There is no commercial purpose to this blog. There is no revenue generated from any material posted here. I am not in competition with any news source, including any other on-line journal, and I have no interest in interfering with any person’s ability to earn an income as an author, journalist, photographer, or artist. This website contains some quotations and excerpts from copyrighted material. These uses fall well within the copyright doctrine of “Fair Use.” Section 107 of the United States Code, Title 17, specifies the conditions under which, “the fair use of a copyrighted work . . . for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching . . ., scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” It provides four considerations for determining fair use: (1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) The nature of the copyrighted work, (3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work. The use on this website of other material involves “criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship or research” (a) The “purpose and character” of the website is not “commercial.” (b) The overwhelming majority of the material is the author’s own research and work. It is in no way a mere collection of others’ copyrighted works, nor is any material competitive with those sources. (2) The “nature of the copyrighted work” quoted is often “news” or “faith,” categories given lesser protection in fair use cases than works of fiction. (3) Most uses involve excerpts rather than entire works. Because the adverse financial impact on copyright owners is central to the purpose of copyright law, and the analysis of alleged violations, it’s relevant to note that, under factor (4), (a) no one in search of the quoted material would substitute this blog or book for the original source, (b) it is highly unlikely this website (or any material created from it) will ever have more than a de minimis impact on any of the copyright works’ potential market, and (c) to the extent it might do so, it would be far more likely be a positive, rather than a negative, impact (by drawing attention to the work, crediting it, and providing a source where it may be found). Finally, to the extent any copyright owner may wish, consideration will be given to all reasonable requests that copyright material be removed from this website. I will always endeavor to provide proper attribution to the source of another person’s work if I know it. If I do not know the source of incorporated work, I will state “source unknown.” I will happily credit any previously unknown source if their identity is made known to me in “blog comments.” -GeeeZ
Thanks for remembering Ms. Z. That means lots to our Vets here, especially coming on the heels of the 243rd anniversary of our beloved Marine Corp. The sacrifices and courage or our Marines are undisputed. From Tripoli to the Pacific…where in WW2 some of the fiercest battles were memorialized by trying to liberate island after island of Japanese fanatical resistance and where so many Marines lost their lives on places no one ever heard of. In my view, generally overlooked by many of our own citizens due to the War in Europe receiving more attention than to some rock in the Pacific called Iwo Jima or Guadalcanal.
Then only a few years later being called on once again to fight the Chinese and North Koreans in conditions only fit for polar bears at times. Led by Douglas MacArthur who commanded Allied forces in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Truman should have allowed him to use the bomb and we’d not be facing any Kim dynasties today. And speculating that we’d have one Korea rather than two, nor would China be the threat it is today.

Wow, Jack, I’d love a conversation about your speculation between you and others. I never actually cared enough to look into this….but would love to know more about China and Korea, etc.and your thoughts they’d not be a threat today. Maybe you’re right. We bombed Japan and they’re pretty much no threat! 🙂
EVERYBODY; JUST HEARD THIS MORNING THAT LIBERAL FOX CONTRIBUTOR THINKS FOX PLAYED UP THE CARAVAN STORIES JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION TO GET THE BASE VOTING…..(which I’m sure is partly true, on the requests of Trump)… BUT, I KNOW YOU DON’T WATCH CNN…BUT HOW WOULD MS TARLOV EXPLAIN THE FACT THAT CNN DID NOTHING ELSE BUT THE CARAVAN ALL DAY/NIGHT, TOO?
I love liberal hypocrisy, it’s getting kinda fun.

The world is slamming Trump for tweeting that it was good to CELEBRATE the end of ANY war….they’re saying he’s tone deaf and should have used COMMEMORATE.
On one site, I commented “So those people after WWII in Paris, kissing, screaming, rejoicing on the Champs Elysee were COMMEMORATING? Gee, they looked like big CELEBRATIONS, to ME!”
One guy says Trump’s father left Germany solely not to have to serve in the war.
Others said nobody in his family’s ever served. Others talked about his getting FIVE deferments, so what does HE know?
I can’t believe the hate…..I KNOW IT, I SEE IT EVERY DAY, but it never ceases to blow my mind.

I remember Truman not approving MacArthur’s plan to continue on and finish the war and Truman nixing it. A lot of people felt we should’ve, esp. with the surrender of both Germany and Japan, we had the momentum to concentrate and finish it once and for all. Perhaps J.J. is right, but we’ll never really know because there also were our other “friends” Russia and China we might have to deal with, so where would we have stopped?

Yes, yes! When Obama was ignominiously handed the Nobel Peace Prize I agreed with those who said “it should go to the U.S. military.”
I don’t agree with all the decisions made in Washington about deployment, but I do know this: when you got stuff people want to take, they WILL take it unless the consequences are too painful. We’ll never know or appreciate how prophylactic their role is in letting us go about ‘normal’ daily lives. Think Rome, 410, when the Visigoths sacked it. Nowadays the sacking comes from an internal enemy.

Excerpt from Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot – the image taken by Voyager looking back at the Earth from out in the solar system and snapping a photo.
Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
