What Are We Doing?

In the LORD’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.A person may think their own ways are right, but the LORD weighs the heart. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the unplowed field of the wicked—produce sin. The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse to do what is right. The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright. Proverbs 21:1-8 NIV

The way of the devious:

• Lie
• Distract
• Avoid
• Deflect
• Deny
• Project
• Subterfuge
• Blame
• Hide

The way of the innocent:

• Integrity
• Honor
• Compassion
• Openness
• Truthful
• Responsible
• Accountable
• Trustworthy
• Honest

Fanfare and distractions, always grandstanding to distract from the ever-revealing incompetence. If a person doesn't know what they're doing, but wants others to believe they are hardworking and competent--they grandstand--showboat--put on airs for optics because they have no evidence to prove their worth.

That was the show the entertainer provided for Washington yesterday--spending tax dollars to grandstand--7 buses to cart 100 Senators from Capitol Hill to the White House when it would have been more expedient (and physically healthier) for 5 people to walk to Capitol Hill--especially when 4 of them went to Capitol Hill to address the House. How foolish was that and how foolish does the #WHidiot think the American people are?

All the drama from the drama queen for what? According to a number of Senators and most of the Republican--nothing new was learned and most concluded the trip was simply for optics--to give the appearance of something extremely important being imminent, but it was more a show--summoned by the "wannabe dictator" so the world of television would see the kind of power (he thinks), he wields. Of course, the security for a classification discussion was hurriedly modified since there is no such place in the WH that would accommodate the size of the crowd. Not much thought went into what was done. No evident planning or consideration given to the nature of the conversation.

And on top of all the buffoonery, we're told it's all about N. Korea--who the #WHidiot has provoked, but is now trying to sell the idea that N. Korea is an imminent threat to America. Bullying and blustering tactics to distract from the FBI investigation may eventually cause the loss of millions of lives, and all this--because we have an idiot in the White House who would rather risk the lives of Americans and those within range of N. Korea's missiles than to tell America the truth about his involvement with the Russians and their meddling in the 2016 Election.

People (many on television) are saying that Kim Jong-un is a crazy man, but he can't be any crazier than the bullying idiot we have in the White House. And I'll keep calling him an idiot until he leaves the Oval Office--in shame or on his own. Kim Jong is right--the United States is being aggressive in its tactics to send warships to the area in an attempt to get N. Korea to back down. They consider the action a threat and are prepared to defend themselves. If another country sent an "armada" to settle off our shores, we'd consider that a threat and prepare for battle as well. The United States is in the wrong and no matter what the idiots-- who will lie to the American people on behalf of the head-idiot-in-charge, say--I know they all lie to cover his behind.

Foolishness, foolishness, all is foolishness as we discover with his "tax reform" that bilks the poor and inflates the bank accounts of the rich, and will blow up the deficit and put us into a vulnerable economic position for decades to come. But the idiot doesn't care about us--he only cares about how much money he can make and the gullible--thought he cared about them. Oh how I wish I could inspire gullible people to think for themselves or at least get information from credible, reliable sources other than Fox News (the ultimate in fake news). They are an entertainment network, not a news network and that discovery is easily made with a search online.

So, what are we doing to counter the foolishness? Some are sitting back complaining, some are wringing their hands, some are rejoicing (the rich who own the munitions factories), some are contemplating suicide, some are just walking zombies--not knowing which way to turn, and me--I'm planning to run for president in 2020. That's what I'm doing! What are you doing? I'll leave it to you to determine who is devious and who is innocent based upon the above-mentioned traits.

Double-Minded!

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. James 1:2-7 NIV

When people are controlled by their emotions, they risk endangering themselves and others. Yes, we should be compassionate people and concerned with the wrongs perpetuated against others, but we should never allow our emotions to guide us in being impulsive and reactive to situations. Before we do anything, at any time, we must understand all the potential consequences. And without a plan, we should do nothing and if we do--without planning--we end up looking foolish.

That's the state of affairs that currently exist in America and probably across the globe. There are some who think conducting a missile strike against Syria without congressional approval was courageous and bold and there are others who know Congress should always decide military action against another country when it could endanger US troops or America. The bigger problem is that the #WHidiot acted impulsively and reactively (supposedly upset about children dying in Syria), but didn't have a plan--just a reaction. Now, the world leaders wait to see what happens next because there is no clearly defined foreign policy known to anyone, including the idiot.

The fact that he claims he had the authority to act without congressional approval because it was "vital to national security" was and is a blatant lie. The United States was not threatened in any way by Assad, but our troops in the Middle East, could very well be endangered by the reactive, impulsivity of the #WHidiot.

But the even stranger part of his reaction is the "change of mind" from several years ago when he "tweeted" (43 times) that President Obama should not get involved with Syria because "there was no upside" in doing so and that President Obama needed Congressional approval to act. Considering the fact that more people (including children) were killed in 2013 than recently, I'm having difficulty understanding why the idiot had no compassion then, but wants everyone to believe he's so upset now. I also don't understand why some members of Congress are applauding his blatant disregard of the Constitution since Congress was not informed, nor gave approval of his actions. But I guess when he told Putin what he was doing, he had all the approval he needed.

He's not upset about children dying in Syria or he wouldn't have banned Syrian Refugees from coming into this country. It's all an act to get the media to pay more attention to the possibility of an act of war than to the on-going trumprussia investigation. He knows he's about to lose the farm. No one paying attention to the unfolding events on a daily basis believed his lie. But--his tactic worked--the media went crazy covering the strike in Syria and no mention made of the investigation. I wonder why.

But the idiot's backpedaling is nothing new--that's what he did the entire time he campaigned and why anyone thought he'd change is a source of amazement to me. People are who they show themselves to be--the first time out the gate. They don't change. He's been a double-minded, unstable, unfit person from the beginning and that has not changed. He will praise himself and belittle anyone who thinks he's not the greatest thing that could have ever happened to America.

He's the worst president we've had during my lifetime. He's so full of himself that he only cares about those people who stroke his ego and won't tell him the truth about anything. His enablers are afraid of him, the media pundits only care about ratings, so that leaves just a handful of us who really care enough about all Americans to speak the truth--about everything--and call out the lies and falsehoods as they present themselves. That's love! We are not double-minded and we won't stop telling the truth--no matter how many times the government attempts to muzzle us.

As for our GOP congress--they are equally complicit in everything that is spiraling out of control because they allowed their greed for power and control to get in the way of governing which is their job. So, they too are double-minded and unstable in all their ways (one set of rules for the Black President and another set of rules for the #WH idiot) and unfortunately, the rest of us have to deal with their unstable, unfair, decisions that impact all of our lives.

But God knows who belongs to Him and who just puts on a front. Their end is already determined and when the fall-out upends their careers, they have only themselves to blame. Karma bites.

Egos and Bullies!

Then the LORD said to me, “You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north. Give the people these orders: ‘You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, but be very careful. Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own. You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’ ” The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything. So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber, and traveled along the desert road of Moab. Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.” Deuteronomy 2:2-9 NIV

Amazing how people accuse others (their political opponents) of being hawkish about war, but then--their false outrage and pathetic ploy to show empathy in a situation pushes their ego into becoming all they said about another. More projection by the #WHidiot.

Only this time--American lives may be lost in the greater scheme of things--unless there was coordinated attempt by Putin and the idiot to use the opportunity to distract from the on-going investigation into the collusion on the part of Putin and trumpteam in the 2016 Election.

And where was Congress in this decision? Again, amazing how they, too--especially the GOP--don't have a problem with protocol and policy not being followed--to hide their involvement in the 2016 Election fiasco.

Considering the fact that Syria has historically been monstrous to its own people, why involve the US in a military strike? What is the true motive? I believe it is simply a matter of a bully allowing his ego to reign in an attempt to flex muscle he doesn't really have. Bravado is not muscle--it's foolishness and the attempt to distract--from the investigation--futile. 

But this won't be the first time. Typically--over the last 20 years, it has been a Republican who involved the US in skirmishes and wars--apparently because their egos won't allow them to stand down and not interfere until the UN endorses involvement. In all fairness, George Bush waited for Congressional approval to invade Iraq, but one still has to wonder, if anyone consulted God. This situation--in an attempt to eliminate evil has actually led to an on-going situation in which a victory is untenable--by anyone--considering the loss of life and financial expenditure. Are we going to pay for "rebuilding once again" simply because we have an idiot in the White House?

When will Congress find their balls and uphold their oath of office? They have been deliberately negligent in abdicating responsibility in doing their job which leads me and many others to believe--they are complicit in the collusion or at least cooperation in the 2016 election fiasco.

God's Word is true and inerrant and won't change the course of things. If He has not been consulted before we do things--the consequences are our own.

Once again--the #WHidiot has demonstrated how unstable and reactive he is. And the rest of us--must seek God and obey so any blood shed will not be on our hands. Of course, those who elected the idiot--will have to own their responsibility in whatever else plays out because of their gullibility in believing a pathological liar.
 

What Happened to Liberty?

The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. Proverbs 18:10-13 KJV
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18, 19 KJV

No matter what happens in America or in the land, there is always a Word of The Lord to address the situation. And now--with 45--the gift of France should be returned and the National Anthem put on a shelf.

Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's re d glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Building walls instead of bridges, censoring what people can say or tweet, keeping out those in need, escaping tyranny and oppression--negates the purpose and intent of the gift given from France--Lady Liberty--who if she could--would be heartbroken and crying to see the state of America at this point.
Frances Scott--though an advocate of slavery--would have to see the utter irony of the line--"Over the land of the free and the home of the brave?" Or maybe we never were the land of the free and certainly not the brave when the leader of a "supposed" free world bullies and encourages bullying by others in his administration. We know anyone who attempts to bully others is not brave, but cowardly. 
 
Where has liberty fled? Where is the Congressional intervention that should be implemented in keeping 45 in check? Where are those with the backbone, will and desire to stand up to oppressive leaders who are attempting to employ a fascist regime.

Lord, we know we have complete liberty in You and perhaps that may be the extent of liberty in America for a time, but we shall with Your direction--continue the fight in opposition to oppression, and continue to defend the rights of the poor and the needy. Thank You for strength, wisdom and knowledge to do all things well--to Your glory!
