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

@Peter, yea I remember a hot rop line model 1968 Camaro was going for $2,500. It’s been a good while that you could buy one for less than $25,000 for the low end model. So, about 10 to 1 on the inflation from 1970 to say 2010.. And medical ? You can’t even come up with an inflation ratio for medical. Suffice to say it is unaffordable. Soon it will be unavailable.
Well, I have to respect history on the repubs. This is not just my feelings on the matter. They had both houses during the first 6 years of GW Bush. Didn’t do Anything. Nothing. Had both houses for DJT’s first two years, not only did they not do anything, they actually came up with their own version of obammycare after every stinkin one of them ran on the promise of repealing obamacare. They actually tried to take ownership of that medical abortion.
I’m done voting.
Worse yet, the repubs could have created legislation to keep us from having elections that can be stolen this easily. VOTER picture ID card with one time use like Z told us about in use in Germany – and software created that is open and verifiable back to each ballot tied to each unique voter ID. Racist to require Voter ID ? How about this – Every black person in America gets a picture voter ID card regardless of owning or not citizen documentation. We’ll even come to their house, take their picture and produce and hand them the card on the spot. Not black? You better have documentation.
In regards to my BS comment, it wasn’t just about the heavy handed Covid stuff. It is Everything in our outside world in America – the world for that matter. Everything. Literally Drowning in BS everytime you expose yourself to the outside world. Didn’t used to be like that. Plus there are so many people down with all of it making it that much worse. I’m not going to be spending much time or energy on it.

On the topic of BS . . . a snippet excerpted from today’s rant:
Oh well . . . . it’s sure gonna be nice come early February when all the unity and economic growth and racial healing magically introduced by the Biden/Harris administration kicks in, ain’t it.
And how pleasant it’ll be when all those hateful Trumpist Nazis are driven from office in the House and Senate and the Swampisteros can begin removing the archaic conservatives from the Supreme Court.
So much simpler when half a dozen companies headed by billionaires make all the decisions about ethics and morals and political correctness for us, the Apple, Google, Twitter, Amazon guys.
Yeah, much better. As Goebbels taught us, control the information and you can dictate how it is presented, discussed, discarded, or spun. They can make anyone who has only partial data look foolish and biased, whether they are or not. Kinda like the Hands up/don’t shoot myth and the BLM “movement.”
Free speech becomes a fantasy, a chimera, used only when it gives advantage to the information monopolists. It doesn’t make bullshit true, but it does allow the bullshit artists to get away with it. It’s called propaganda. And the most effective way to get out the message you want people to hear is to shut down all the competition and change the subject.
The modus operandi is that the system tells us what it wants us to hear. The system then presents its lies. Then it lies about the lies. Then it lies about lying about the lies. Eventually it makes you doubt your own knowledge.

The most important thing we can pray for? I’d say being worthy of making it into heaven ’cause things are going downhill so fast! Look not only at our politics, but at the whole world. Over crowded, starvation, natural disasters, unhinged immorality, lack of common sense (gender I.D., etc). Add to that the attempt by big tech to take control of the world aided by COVID-19, its a no-brainer. We are in turbulent times and things are progressing (digressing?) very rapidly.

Anyone who understands crony capitalism won’t bother to vote because they know that our country is so irreversibly corrupt; the only people who end up on the winning side are those who are financially invested in lawmakers. It doesn’t matter which political party the crony capitalist identifies with because they stand to make a ton of money whenever the pendulum swings back in their direction. For them, American politics is a win-win (wait your turn) proposition, and the only losers are those who mistakenly think WE THE PEOPLE control our nation’s destiny. Nothing could be further from the truth.

We are in a spiritual war – no mistake!
@ Ed “A spiritual awakening in the land.” We’ve pray for that in our bible study. I actually tuned in to John MacArthur’s church this morning and was soooo glad I did. The county/city (not clear) threw everything at them after they decided to open up again. There was the general threat to shut off the water and power of anyone like that. When 4 staffers of 240 were positive for Covid the media trumpeted it as an epidemic at the church. They have been harassed with multiple “inspections,” fined weekly and hauled into court 9 times. At the last one the judge said to the governing authority “I don’t want to see you here again over this!” The church has leased a parking lot 2 blocks away from the county for 45 years. They got a 30-day notice to vacate without explanation. Also overturned in court.
They’ve held 11 weddings and 14 funerals in the lockdown, and provided temporary jail quarters for the LAPD during the riots, plus meals and bibles.
They’ve added 1,000 new members! One young man came to buy a particular bible for his brother in prison. The brothers grew up in the neighborhood and always called it “that church that everybody goes to.” (It’s crammed into an old, rundown residential neighborhood where people stream in from off-site parking in 2 directions – very visible.) Brother got saved in prison. Told the free brother to “get over there to that church that everybody goes to” and he did.

Understand how you feel about MacArthur. Still, he’s a bulwark right now, at the point of the spear with a solid board and the holy spirit behind him. When most of the jail chaplains bailed, his church supplied the need. Lots of other stuff no one sees, putting love in action. I too think God has pulled back His protection which allowed a lot of these new thorns in the side to our wicked society. Not prepared to declare it “punishment” but AIDS has a lot of company in that basket.
My German teacher could also be jovial, in a German sort of way. What does she have in common with Mr. Z? Lived here a long time. In fact, from age 13 she grew up in the Dominican Republic and reflected that in her manner, too.
