Dare we pull the weeds?
This is a key time in history. Can we save the America we know and love?
Merry Christmas 2024
Now retired, we’ve tried several churches over the years. My absolute last book, in 2023, Invisible Treason, was the # 1 new book on Amazon. It got many endorsements and a foreword from a Catholic Archbishop. Who was soon excommunicated by a radical left Pope.
This is my 82nd Christmas. Tastes have changed from the happy cartoons Disney made to Christ and the Bible's story. To the ancient truths that lack propaganda and spin but suggest action.
Our new church goes back to the basics, using only one book, the New International Version (NIV) Bible, as a guide. First published in 1978, this Bible centers on parables from long ago. These often need thought and interpretation. It helps to have trained ministers to discuss them.
One example is Matthew 13:24-43: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time, I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
In effect, it seems we’ve been living this drama. Now can see the evil that has infected America, the weeds. We can now identify who did it.
Now we can burn the weeds and spare the crop. Unfortunately, the “weeds” we face are dangerous, powerful people. They are backed by global interests with vast resources.
The stakes are high – can we hope to get back to the America we knew and loved? The Land of the Free and home of the Brave.
It won’t be simple. We face major challenges. God never said it would be easy….
Have a good Christmas and do spread the word.

So far we have been losing the war for the survival of a free America. I think this is about to change. May God Bless America.

BREAKING: House GOP is reportedly splitting the spending bill into smaller pieces, allowing each piece to pass or fail individually.
Yes, the GOP (= Trump) is going to limit bills -- hopefully to just a few topics and perhaps 20 pages. We may yet get our country back. Nancy Pelosi totally corrupted our system of legislation and she was never held accountable.
GOTTA LOVE THE GOVERNMENT.... NOT!!! This is a shameful cop out.
God Bless President Trump.
The House of Representatives on Dec. 20 approved a package to keep the federal government funded through March 14, potentially averting a government shutdown.
Lawmakers approved the funding bill in a 366–34 vote. The bill was brought to the floor under suspension of the rules, meaning that it required two-thirds support to pass. 196 Democrats joined in support of the package, while all votes against the legislation were from Republicans. 1 Democrat voted present.
Aside from extending the deadline for a government shutdown, the 118-page legislation includes $110 billion in emergency hurricane relief, extends the farm bill for one year, and includes a series of other minor provisions. It doesn’t include any measures on the debt ceiling, despite President-elect Donald Trump’s call that the issue be dealt with during the current lame-duck session.
