Brain Laundry Blues

The US has caught the Trump Disease. The Irony is that Trump is under a spell cast by Putin.

Now there is something to be outraged about but the future Dictators of American want you to respond to knee jerk "Patriotism", that is not patriotic at all.

It is clear that the 56 % need to lead the 46 % that is under the spell out of the Brain Laundry.

False Gods

The only thing that Preachers can do to help Trump is to advise him to come clean and confess and repent from his financial misdealing's and repent and change his ways.  One clear signal that he could sent would be to begin to tell the truth about his actions and live a life of obedience to God.

We should be reminded about the man who asked Jesus how he could get into heaven.  Jesus told the man to give up all his wealth and live on faith.

We are led to believe that this might have been a move to hard to make, but one can not seek to be free of the consequences of Sin if they can not free themselves from the love of money.  It is one of the biggest challenges that people in the US have today.

God and Politics

God is not a Republican, Democrat, or Independent.  God is not concerned about what form of government a country has.  God does not care about how you treat the flag or any anthem.  God does not champion worldly things.

What God is concerned about is mans soul and toward that end he has given us very clear guidance about living our lives.  First, God is a God of Love.  Jesus tells us we are to Love God with all your heart and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself.

If you have any difficulty understanding what Love is First Corinthians 13 lays it all out.  The Bible does not contradict itself, so if you find your self on the horns of a dilemma, where it seems that you have found a contradiction to Love being the solid Core of God's Law, one needs to seek a resolution that resolves this divergence from God's Law.    

Just remember, all you need is Love.  God is Love.

Presidential Cancelation: Impeachment

President Trump needs to be very careful about canceling clearances of Intelligence ex-employees, Trump can actually be cancelled when he finally crosses the wrong spook.

Note to Attorney General Sessions:

If you try to placate the Devil Your life will be hell.

Retreating

I have given up on expecting rational behaviors in our country.

I am a turtle who has crawled in to my shell and sealed the opening shut.

I will take a trip to the polls in November and then go back in my shell.  I highly recommend that others do the same.

Don Lemon is a Brilliant Journalist.  He conducts real interviews, keeps the dialogue on topic and usually does not suffer fools well.  I am sure that Mr. Lemon is human and has faults, but I have not noticed any of them yet.  I like Anderson Cooper as well and remember when he was just beginning.

I am a Liberal, and Damn Proud of it,  I am turning 72 next week and have been a Proud liberal since 1968 when I was serving in the 1st Air Cavalry just about 25 miles from the DMZ in Vietnam.

Reasonable People can differ on points of policy in politics, but we must be civil and united in the respect for our fellow citizens.  I am a Liberal, not the Enemy.  I fought the "enemy" in Vietnam, and when my generation came home there was divisions in the country as there are today, most created by those who wanted things to be their way, not our way.
Three times in my life I have seen unacceptable divisions among people of the United States, and I had hoped that we had matured as a culture. In the 50's there were Communists behind every tree in some people's mind.  During Vietnam it was a generational clash with the new generation much less favorable to Johnson's War.  Now we have War between the people of the US.  Dangerous accusations about the 1st Amendment Press are creating great incivility .

We must find a way to express our political differences and still remain united and strong.  

If he Only Had a Brain

Of course North Korea has not ended its Nuclear Program.  Only the Brain Washed Trump "Loyalists" fell for that.  (Oh and Trump)

CNBC Says that we are in for a big crash

Yes we are and it has Trumps finger prints all over it.  Can't we start, if we recover, start giving tests to the people who make policy about our economy.

The Idiot Right has put the economy in the hands of one of the most celebrated financial failures of all time.

Decline and Fall

When a Great Power declines it does so slowly and many people do not realize the decline until well after the Decline is clear.

Case in Point:  Led on by the President of the US, Trump supporters challenge and harass the Press. and much like the Brown Shirts in NAZI Germany with the Jews.

The US is rather like parents who do not know what their rowdy kids are up to.  Vladimir Putin isthat older kid down the block who is  corrupting our kid, Donald Trump and teaching him unacceptable behavior I  our Democratic Family.

After years of increasingly negative behaviors being encouraged by Talk Radio and the like, we now have a strong negative base for hostile behavior to the very principles that had made the US a great power.

Today the political talk is just as likely to be wild ranting theories great plots to destroy what ever the radical extremes think is being destroyed.

The Dumbing down of the US began in the 80's and has just about reached a critical crescendo. Trump is now directing these lunatics, the new brown shirts, to attack the target that they are given.   This is no accident.  I have always thought the fall of the US would come from within, not from some military force. The snake for Adam and Eve was in the garden not attacking from outside.
