Christmas Day 2023: “One Solitary Life” Made All The Difference

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

“Tis the season for Christmas movies.

From the Hallmark romance movies to Bill Murray’s “Scrooged” to “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”, there are movies to be found on television for everyone’s taste. However, there is none quite like Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”, the Holiday Classic starring Jimmy Stewart.

In the movie, Stewart plays the role of George Bailey, an average man whom, through a series of circumstances, finds himself living a life which he had never really envisioned himself leading. When dire circumstances arise, he contemplates killing himself, only to be stopped by an angel named Clarence, who shows him what his hometown would be like if he had never been born.

After viewing the difference which he had made in his sphere of influence, Stewart prays to the Lord to return him back to his family and his life.

The movie ends happily, with all the people whom he had helped over the years coming to his aid in his moment of crisis.

The last time I watched this movie, I had not seen it in quite a while and I found myself with tears in my eyes at the end of it.

It was then that I realized that God puts us where He wants us to be.

It is up to us to navigate around the pitfalls of life caused by our own Free Will by using the Gift of Discernment which we have been blessed with and by listening to that Still Small Voice which resides within each and every one of us.

Each and every one of us can make a difference within our own sphere of influence.

However, there remains only One who walked this Earth in human form who is still making a difference and whose birth we celebrate today.

Many stories have been written about Him.

On this Christmas Day, please allow me to present to you one of the best and the gentleman who wrote it.

Dr. James Allan Francis was born in Nova Scotia, Canada. He became a pastor at age twenty-one and served in ministry for the remainder of his life. His first pastorate was in New York City at the Riverside Baptist Church, and after serving in other varied pastorates in the East, he came to Los Angeles in 1914.

Though he had a busy life as a pastor, Francis was able to publish a handful of books: Drops from a Living Fountain (1895), Christ’s Mould of Prayer (1924), and Christ is All And Other Sermons (1928). His publications are full of passionate encouragement for Christians to know their Lord, to rely on him, and to follow his example.

Francis’ most famous words, now known as “One Solitary Life,” originated as part of a sermon that he delivered on July 11, 1926 to the Baptist Young People’s Union at a Los Angeles Convention. A friend transcribed the message titled “Arise, Sir Knight,” and Dr. Francis published it that same year in a collection called The Real Jesus and Other Sermons.

Today, we celebrate the birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ.

As you spend today with your family and friends, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our nation and those who are away from home, protecting you and me.

Please allow me to close with one of my favorite Christmas songs, featuring a remarkable performance by the man who wrote it, Mark Lowry.

God bless us, everyone.

Here is a man who was born in an obscure village as the child of a peasant woman.

He grew up in another obscure village.

He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty and then for three years was an itinerant preacher.

He never wrote a book.

He never held an office.

He never owned a home.

He never had a family.

He never went to college.

He never put his foot inside a big city.

He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where he was born.

He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness.

He had no credentials but himself.

He had nothing to do with this world except the naked power of his divine manhood.

While still a young man the tide of popular opinion turned against him.

His friends ran away.

One of them denied him.

Another betrayed him.

He was turned over to his enemies.

He went through the mockery of a trial.

He was nailed upon the cross between two thieves.

His executioners gambled for the only piece of property he had on earth while he was dying, and that was his coat.

When he was dead, he was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.

Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone and today he is the center of the human race and the leader of the column of progress.

I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that were ever built, and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon the earth as powerfully as has this one solitary life.

From The Innkeeper’s Point of View

On By kingsjesterIn ChristianityLeave a comment

Luke 2: 1-7 (ASV):
1 Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.
2 This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
5 to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Caesar Augustus had come up with the bright idea that a census should be taken of the whole Roman Empire, in order to more effectively tax the stew out of all of us.

It especially hurt small businessmen like me. You see, I’m nothing but a lowly innkeeper, barely keeping my head above water, working 16 hour days. Oy! I could continue to gripe, but who would listen?

Anyway, like I said, Caesar decreed that everyone should get themselves registered for the Census. In terms of business, that actually turned out to be a good thing.

I was about to lock up for the night, when a young man and woman came to the door.

He was a strong,rugged-looking young man. I think he was a carpenter. She was a beautiful, pregnant little thing. Bless her heart, she looked like she would deliver at any moment.

Their names were Joseph and Mary.

My inn was packed, for once, and I had no rooms available. But, some part of my heart told me that I just couldn’t send them away.

So I offered them my stable, which would at least offer some protection from the elements.

What happened that night was wondrous.

Men are still talking about it to this day.

A precious little baby boy was born that night, and the most miraculous things happened. People said that animals actually spoke!

And, the local shepherds said that angels came to them and told them about this baby.

They sang His praises and told the shepherds that they needed to come to my stable to see and worship that little baby.

Three wise men, sent by Herod, showed up later, bearing gifts for that special infant.

They were overcome by that little one and decided that they would not report back to Herod, but, instead, would return to their homes.

It was quite a remarkable time. As the years went by, I heard stories about that child.

They named Him Jesus.

He grew in knowledge and stature. At 12, his parents lost Him. They found Him in the synagogue, teaching the old men that should have been teaching Him!

Can you imagine?

He grew up working beside His father in his carpentry business and when He was 30, I heard that He was baptized by that wild man, John The Baptist.

According to witnesses, the heavens parted, and they heard the voice of God saying:

This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.

For three years, He traveled with a group of twelve disciples, performing miracles, preaching and teaching about God’s love and His plan for mankind.


And, now I’ve heard that just yesterday, they nailed Him to a cross, executing Him as they would a common criminal.

So sad.

But, you know, there is a still, small voice inside of me that’s telling me that His story is not over, yet.

I truly hope that you enjoyed this post today. I originally wrote the preceding story 13 years ago today in honor of this special night.


Tonight, we celebrate the birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ. In closing, I want to share two videos with you. The first is a video entitled, “That’s my King!”, as read by Dr. S.M. Lockridge. The second video is a song that I’ve had the privilege of singing in choirs many times, “The Hallelujah Chorus”, which has become a favorite of Believers everywhere.

Merry Christmas to you and yours! And may God bless us, everyone!

Thanksgiving 2023: For Our Past and for the Right to Determine Our Future, Americans Should Give Thanks

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

Thanksgiving Day.

Simply saying the words to myself brings back a flood of precious memories…memories of Thanksgivings past, as a child, surrounded by aunts, uncles, cousins, my sisters, and my Mother and Daddy…smells of sage dressing and oven-roasted turkey…followed by the feeling of having an over-stuffed stomach…all topped by the sounds of laughter and the sight of my aunts and uncles, all members of America’s Greatest Generation, being led in a penny-ante poker game after the Thanksgiving meal by my Daddy, the finest man I have ever known…all of them enjoying each other’s company as they reveled in the wonderful completeness of being a family.

Regardless of what the White House Staff posted yesterday, it is not about sharing a bunch of Talking Points about what a “great” job Dementia-riddled octogenarian Joe Biden is doing as President.

Thanksgiving is a uniquely American Holiday…as unique as the nation which celebrates it.

In 1621, a small group of Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared a feast celebrating the autumn harvest. This is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.

However, Thanksgiving is much more than this.

Thanksgiving is a day when Americans thank their Creator for the blessings they have received during the year, while holding hope and expectation in their hearts for the blessings yet to come.

The Father of Our Country expressed his thankfulness concerning God and America, when he announced this holiday in 1789:

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor – and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be – That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks – for his kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation – for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war –for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed – for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions – to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually – to render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed – to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord – To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and Us – and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. – United States President George Washington.

On November 15, 1985, in the first year of his second term, President Ronald Reagan issued the following proclamation…

Although the time and date of the first American thanksgiving observance may be uncertain, there is no question but that this treasured custom derives from our Judeo-Christian heritage. “Unto Three, O God, do we give thanks,” the Psalmist sang, praising God not only for the “wondrous works” of His creation, but for loving guidance and deliverance from dangers.

A band of settlers arriving in Maine in 1607 held a service of thanks for their safe journey, and twelve years later settlers in Virginia set aside a day of thanksgiving for their survival. In 1621 Governor William Bradford created the most famous of all such observances at Plymouth Colony when a bounteous harvest prompted him to proclaim a special day “to render thanksgiving to the Almighty God for all His blessings.” The Spaniards in California and the Dutch in New Amsterdam also held services to give public thanks to God.

In 1777, during our War of Independence, the Continental Congress set aside a day for thanksgiving and praise for our victory at the battle of Saratoga. It was the first time all the colonies took part in such an event on the same day. The following year, upon news that France was coming to our aid, George Washington at Valley Forge prescribed a special day of thanksgiving. Later, as our first President, he responded to a Congressional petition by declaring Thursday, November 26, 1789, the first Thanksgiving Day of the United States of America.

Although there were many state and national thanksgiving days proclaimed in the ensuing years, it was the tireless crusade of one woman, Sarah Josepha Hale, that finally led to the establishment of this beautiful feast as an annual nationwide observance. Her editorials so touched the heart of Abraham Lincoln that in 1863 – even in the midst of the civil War – he enjoined his countrymen to be mindful of their many blessings, cautioning them not to forget “the source from which they come,” that they are “the gracious gifts of the Most High God…” Who ought to be thanked “with one heart and one voice by the whole American People.”

It is in that spirit that I now invite all Americans to take part again in this beautiful tradition with its roots deep in our history and deeper still in our hearts. We manifest our gratitude to God for the many blessings he has showered upon our land and upon its people.

In this season of Thanksgiving we are grateful for our abundant harvests and the productivity of our industries; for the discoveries of our laboratories; for the researches of our scientists and scholars; for the achievements of our artists, musicians, writers, clergy, teachers, physicians, businessmen, engineers, public servants, farmers, mechanics, artisans, and workers of every sort whose honest toil of mind and body in a free land rewards them and their families and enriches our entire Nation.

Let us thank God for our families, friends, and neighbors, and for the joy of this very festival we celebrate in His name. Let every house of worship in the land and every home and every heart be filled with the spirit of gratitude and praise and love on this Thanksgiving Day.

On this Thanksgiving Day 2023, I’m thankful for Americans who are still making a difference: “Average Americans” who still love God and country and stand on principle with their feet planted on a Solid Rock, and not on shifting sands.

The “Average American”, the 9 to 5′er, working himself into the grave to try to provide for his family.

It was this same “Average American”, who fired the shot heard around the world and began the War for American Independence, who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day in World War II, who waded through rice paddies in Vietnam, and who swallowed sand in Desert Storm and Desert Shield.

The same “Average American” who, as a New York City Policeman or Fireman, ran up the stairs of the World Trade Center on 9/11/01, instead of running down them.

The same “Average American”, who simply wants things to be easier in this life for his children and grandchildren, than he had it.

It is this same “Average American”, who takes family and friends in, when they are in the midst of a life-altering tragedy.

The same “Average American”, who volunteers on a soup line or at a Senior Citizens Home, or, who begins a successful business in his basement.

They are the reason we remain, in spite of all that has befallen us as a nation, the Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth, despite those who are presently trying to to “radically change” our Constitutional Republic” and take away our right as Americans to live and raise our children and grandchildren as we see fit.

And, the One who gave us this country and endowed us with certain “inalienable rights” is the Rock upon which America was built.

And, for that, we can all be thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thousands of Pro-Palestinian Protesters March in Washington…Who’s Behind This?

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

Thousands of Pro-Palestinian protesters marched through the streets of our nation’s capital yesterday demanding that Israel call a “Ceasefire” to their military actions in the Gaza Strip aimed at wiping out the merciless Radical Islamic Terrorists known as Hamas.

One of the organizers of yesterday’s march is a radical activist named Brian Becker.

“Brian Becker is the national director of International ANSWER. He has been a co-director of the International Action Center (IAC), and was a member of the Secretariat of the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party (WWP) until 2004. He was also a contributor to the WWP newspaper, Workers World. Through his association with these organizations, Becker became a prominent figure in the anti-war movement’s massive post-9/11 peace rallies.

In 1994 Becker was a signatory to a letter drafted by the Peace for Cuba International Appeal (PCIA), a movement composed of Communist Party USA fronts and affiliates calling for increased trade and travel between the United States and Cuba. Other signers included such notables as Ramsey Clark, Teresa Gutierrez, Alice Walker, and Quentin Young.

In Becker’s calculus, American history is a narrative punctuated on every line with injustice and oppression.” (Courtesy DiscoverTheNetworks.org)

According to his website, answercoalition.org …

“ANSWER, which at its core included a partnership between Arab and non-Arab activists, fought a long and successful battle against excluding the Palestinian struggle for self-determination from the anti-war and peace movement. In the years since, we have mobilized across the country to stop the repeated assaults against and massacres of the people of Gaza.”

Brian Becker is a Communist activist whose all-consuming purpose in life is to “radically change” America “by any means necessary ” through the manipulation of useful idiots who have been indoctrinated in schools and colleges across America to hate America and everything it has traditionally stood for, including and now, especially, our support of Israel.

It’s not just the college kids who are useful idiots. If you go to his website, there are a lot of organizations and universities that support these radical activists.

The same mindless barbaric fascist evil which men like my father fought against in World War II, Desert Storm, and Desert Shield is now being defended and championed by protesters, paid and unpaid, in major cities across America.

Meanwhile, our Southern Border remains wide open as military-aged single men cross with impunity.

The phrase “evil good and good evil” is a biblical expression that appears in the book of Isaiah 5:20. It is a warning against those who justify wickedness and condemn righteousness. The verse reads:

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

(Courtesy Biblehub.com)

I believe that we are at a critical point in our nation’s history.

While I believe that the reelection of former President Donald J. Trump would certainly help the situation we find ourselves in, only God can change people’s hearts and restore America to “The Shining City Upon a Hill”.

Sunday Morning Thoughts: America in Chaos… How Did We Get Here?

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight! – Isaiah 5:20-21

A lot of Americans, in fact, I would say the majority of us, are thinking, “How in the world did we as a country get in the condition we are in?”

…with college students and other “Useful idiots” defending the Radical Islamic Terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah

…with crime rampant because of coddling criminals, with young people shooting one another and killing elderly Americans in the street for fun?

…with teachers and school boards attempting to “groom” our children through age-inappropriate “Sex Education” illustrated textbooks, while attempting to hide what they are doing from concerned parents who are not allowed to speak at school board meetings?

…with professional politicians being bought off by special interest groups and foreign governments, including the president?

…with both Main Stream and Social Media being nothing more than a Propaganda Arm of the Democratic Party?

…with America’s “Brightest and Best”, our Armed Forces, being turned into a bunch of socially-engineered “Woke Wussies”?

…with inflation out of control while Americans are being paid to stay at home and encouraged not to work?

…with school children being taught to hate each other and America, our flag, our Pledge of Allegiance, and our National Anthem?

I believe that the very beginnings of the mess which we find ourselves in as a country started with LBJ’s “Great Society”, which led to the dissolution of the Traditional Black Family Unit.

However, America, as we knew it, really started pulling apart at the seams when Barack Hussein Obama was elected as our 43rd President.

And, it wasn’t caused by racism.

It was caused by the acceptance or Relative Morality, Situational Ethics, and Deviant Behavior.

We have too many people in this Sovereign Nation who were not raised “in the Way in which they should go”.

(Yeah…I said it.)

The direction which the Modern Democratic Party has taken since then to the Far Left of the Political Spectrum has put them at odds with the majority of Americans who still hold dear the Traditional Faith and Values System upon which our Sovereign Nation was founded.

Is all this upheaval our nation is feverishly attempting to recover from, with no help from “The Resistance”, “Antifa”, “The Far Left”, or whatever you want to call the Anti-American immature idiots, due to some sort of Satanic Influence attempting to tip the scales in the fight between Good and Evil, across our land?

If you look at 80% of the movies that Tinsel Town produces for public consumption nowadays, they seek to glorify the Powers of Darkness….and they seem to be very popular with young Americans.

Why is the Occult, including Satan and his demons, so fascinating to impressionable young Americans?

People who take the existence of Satan lightly, eventually wind up in some sort of trouble, and those who worship Satan wind up in even greater trouble.

Back in the 1960s, the late, beautiful actress Jayne Mansfield posed for a series of publicity pictures with the Head Priest of the Church of Satan, Anton LaVey. The pictures showing her with LaVey, included several shots of taking their version of Communion, simulating drinking blood from a goblet, offered by the priest. She even wore a pink and black medallion of Satan and the goat-headed Baphomet to the 1966 San Francisco Film Festival. Later, the beautiful actress died in a freak car accident in which she was decapitated.

Now, far be it from me to link one to the other. That is up for you to decide for yourself.

Is all this upheaval our nation is currently facing, caused by the Democrats, their Propaganda Arm, the MSM, and their young minions, due to some sort of Satanic Influence attempting to tip the scales in the fight between Good and Evil, across our land?

The reason that our nation is facing the difficulties we are is the belief by those who proclaim themselves to be the “smartest people in the room”, that they are above the old-fashioned, passe notions of morality and ethics, good and evil, and the Sovereignty of God.

In the opinion of this Christian American living in the Heartland, they have made a grave mistake.

Evil exists and these fools opened the door to Satan in our society a long time ago.

When it all comes crashing down around them, what are they going to say?

The Devil made me do it?

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. – Ephesians 6:12

America on High Alert: Hamas Leader Calls for Muslims to “Take to the Streets” Today

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

“An official statement from the Hamas terrorist organization and comments from a former Hamas leader — both calling for global mobilization against Israel this Friday, Oct. 13 — are raising alarm at Jewish organizations and among those who monitor the Middle East.

“The real threat here is that there is no way of knowing who, if anyone, will take up the call or if there are pre-planned actions already staged elsewhere in the world just waiting for the greenlight,” according to James Carafano, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation and senior counselor to its president.

Carafano cited the Biden administration’s “open door” immigration policies and said that the U.S. president has “thrown virtually every post 9/11 caution to the wind.”

“Given that preparations and attention for dealing with global terrorism in the West have lapsed in recent years, who knows if anyone has been paying attention to this threat?” Carafano told JNS.

On Oct. 10, Hamas called for an “Al-Aqsa Flood Friday” on Oct. 13, according to a translation from the Middle East Media Research Institute. In the statement, the terror organization sought reinforcements from “our Palestinian people, the masses of the Arab and Islamic world, and free people worldwide” in its “declaration of mobilization.”

“To all scholars who teach jihad,” he said, “to all who teach and learn, this is a moment for the application [of jihad].”

Also on Oct. 10, the Qatar-based Khaled Mashal, who led Hamas from 2014-2017, called for Muslims to “take to the streets” Friday in a global protest against Israel.” (Courtesy Newsmax.com)

Americans must be on high alert today because right now we are in more danger than any time in decades from an attack from within thanks to our wide open Southern Border.

Jihad could easily break out in major cities across America.

We must be vigilant today.

Concerning the question about treating Muslims differently, yes, it is ideal to treat people the way you would want them to treat you.

However, while I have met some very nice American Muslims, I have also been inside a mosque where I was looked at as if they wanted to take a scimitar to my neck.

If Moderate Muslims are not behind their radical brethren’s eternal jihad against us infidels, they need to get their mugs in front of the cable news networks’ TV cameras and say so…because all I see representing them when I turn on the news, are the activists on college campuses and the hateful idiots on Capitol Hill known as “The Squad”, blaming America and Israel for all the world’s troubles.

This is ironic because the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, just gave back six billion dollars to Iran, the world’s biggest sponsor of Islamic Terrorism.

Are “The Smartest People in the Room” so contrary, as to not realize that Radical Islam punishes every single social issue that Modern American Liberals so “righteously” defend in this nation?

The maddening thing is that every time you challenge Far Left Democrats on this fact, they try to equate Radical Islam with American Christianity.

Frankly, the ignorance of Modern American Liberals blows my mind.

There is a very important difference between being an average Christian American and a Muslim, living in America.

When Christians become “radicalized”, we want to share the testimony of what God has done for us through His love, with everyone we meet. We get involved in our local church, and we become better fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, and American citizens.

When Muslims become “radicalized”, they want to “kill the Infidels”, putting flaming tires around the necks of civilian adults and beheading their babies in the name of “Allah the Merciful”.

In the case of the Radical Islamic Terrorists of Hamas, it turned them into doppelgangers of the Nazi Butchers of Dachau.

For propagandized college students and the rest of the Far Left Democrats to deny that is disingenuous at best, and just plain dangerous at worst.

Please be careful out there today.

Iranian-Funded HAMAS Terrorists Attack Israel… Why Now?

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

“12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 12: 1-3)

“Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists invaded areas of southern Israel as rocket barrages launched from the Gaza Strip struck the area Saturday, killing at least 200 Israelis and wounding at least 985 others, according to The Associated Press.

A senior Hamas military commander, Mohammad Deif, announced the start of the operation, calling on Palestinians everywhere to attack the Israelis, saying in a broadcast on Hamas media that the group launched thousands of rockets and calling the attack “the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on earth.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

As I sit here writing this, the number of dead Israelis has risen to over 300.

“This is exactly why so many Americans & Israelis were DISGUSTED to see [President Biden] give the Iranian regime $6 billion last month,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said on X. “Every dollar given to Iran funds terrorism in the Ayatollah’s quest to destroy Israel. Iran is behind today’s invasion & everyone must say that.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Ever since my collegiate days, from 1976-1980, when I was a Radio News Director, I have watched with stunned incredulity, as the American Liberal Political Ideology and its adherents, have vocally castigated the country of Israel for defending themselves against violent factions of nomadic tribes, who wish for nothing else than their annihilation of both the country of Israel and their citizenry.

The irony of their naiveté, is the fact that, in the 1960’s, American Liberals were among some of Israel’s strongest supporters. However, as of this writing, they continue to blatantly back the Palestinians and the Terrorist Organization known as Hamas.

Opposing God’s Chosen People and supporting the historically nomadic people that call themselves “Palestinians” fits with Modern Liberals’ Political Ideology, which views modern political struggles as “Class Warfare”, being waged between race and ethnic groups. Liberals believe that the predominantly white West is somehow subjugating the non-white rest of the world. This viewpoint is an extension of the class-based, rich versus poor, categories, which they intentionally classify people in, since the Presidency of their fallen messiah, Former President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm).

For years now, I have referred to the intolerant political ideology of Modern American Liberals as “The New Fascism” because of their intolerance toward traditional Americans Faith and Values, including our relationship with our closest ally, since their birth as a country in 1948.

What we are seeing now, as regards the anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party, which began under Former President Barack Hussein Obama, is a result of an amalgamation of the political philosophies of the special interest groups who have replaced average Americans as the Democrats’ Voting Base.

Anti-Semitism is the norm in Marxism in all of its forms, fascism, and, of course, Islam.

All of these political philosophies are the anti-thesis of who the Far Left Democrats claim to be.

The Biden Administration is, of course, taking no responsibility for the Iranian-funded attack by the Radical Islamic Terrorists of HAMAS even after giving the Iranians their six billion dollars back.

They say there’s no way that the Iranians could get a hold of it with permission.

Money is fungible.

It is easily moved around and is interchangeable.

The Biden Administration and the Far Left Democrat Elites’ Anti-Semitism and naiveté regarding the mindset of the Mad Mullahs of Iran and their support of Islamic Terrorist Organizations like HAMAS made Saturday’s attack on Israel possible.

And, that’s unforgivable.

80% of Potential Republican Voters Favor Trump… Let Me Tell You Why…

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

“Former President Donald Trump remains not only the dominant frontrunner in the Republican primary race, but he also maintains the status as the most favorable candidate.

This week’s Morning Consult survey, released this week, found 80 percent of potential Republican primary voters viewing Trump favorably, compared to 19 percent who do not. Notably, Trump’s unfavorable percentage is actually lower than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s, as 21 percent have an unfavorable view of the presidential hopeful.

So why does Trump’s lead in the Republican Primary and the 2024 Presidential Election itself continue to grow?

I believe that there are several reasons for this.

1. Americans are tired of out-of-control inflation, a broken supply chain affecting their local grocery stores and Walmarts, and rising interest rates on everything.

The government’s monthly report on how well Bidenomics is working is a bunch of garbage. When they say there’s actually people getting jobs out there, it is usually Americans returning to jobs lost during the pandemic scare.

I saw recently on Fox and Friends that approximately 67% of Americans are living from paycheck to paycheck and maxing out their credit cards because of this horrible economy being caused by Bidenomics.

Average Americans want a stable prosperous economy, and they want to be able to afford to actually do things other than work a 40-50 hour week just to go home and eat whatever groceries they can afford on a limited budget.

2. Americans do not want our country to be taken over by an invasion caused by a wide open Southern Border.

They’re watching the videos of military-aged young men crossing our Southern Border.

They’re aware that illegals are receiving $2,300 of American taxpayer money each month to be here illegally.

Average Americans understand that the only reason that this is being allowed to happen is because the Democrat Elite knows that their installation of Biden as President has failed miserably and that they are about to be bounced out of the White House.

That is why they are pushing so hard to allow illegals to have the same rights as American citizens, including the right to vote.

3. Average Americans are sick to death of the government trying to tell us how to raise our children and grandchildren and how we’re being told that we are bigoted simpletons for believing in Traditional American Faith and Values.

We are not about to start believing that men can have babies, that men can lactate, or that men who wear makeup and dresses and use the “ladies’ room” are “normal.”

Finally, average Americans are American Patriots.

We love our country, we love our flag, and we will stand up at ball games and sing the national anthem with our hands over our hearts while looking at Old Glory.

If you want to call us “Christian Nationalists” fine but understand that we outnumber you.

Being a “Christian Nationalist” is not a bad thing at all.

It literally means that you believe in God and country.

Isn’t that what America was founded on, and what led to our Sovereign Nation becoming prosperous and the Leader of the Free World?

And isn’t that what made Trump’s tenure in the White House so successful before China released the COVID-19 pandemic on the world?

Gosh. No wonder Trump’s lead is growing.

A Great Week For America

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

This week will go down in American History as the week in which the Supreme Court stood up for the Traditional American Faith and Values our Founding Fathers held so dear.

In 3 landmark decisions, the majority ruled that Americans cannot be forced to do something which is against their faith, that Americans should be awarded College Scholarships on the basis of merit and not the color of their skin, and that the President of the United States of America cannot bypass our System of Checks and Balances in order to pay off College Loans with $430 billion of American Taxpayers’ money in order to buy votes.

Our Founding Fathers are up in Heaven smiling about what has happened this week.

So are the majority of average Americans.

The Far Left Democrats, along with their puppet Joe Biden, are positively apoplectic.

Without being able to tell us that our Christian Faith is secondary to what the Democrat-led government and special interest groups decree as being “normal,” and therefore, its acceptance is mandatory, they are unable to force us to recognize their authority instead of God’s.

In order for the Democrat Elite to succeed in “radically changing” America from a Constitutional Republic to a mob-ruled Marxist fascist totalitarian falsely-labeled “Democracy,” they need useful idiots willing to give away their individual freedom and to accept immorality and sexual perversion as normal behavior.

Without being able to buy votes through Affirmative Action and paying off College Loans, the Democrats know that they will lose voters.

After all, what do they have to offer besides an installed dementia-riddled President and a failed political ideology that has only led to despair and poverty in any country that has foolishly installed it as their form of government?

Thank God for our Founding Fathers who established us as a Constitutional Republic with 3 co-equal branches of government!

Otherwise, the Far Left Democratic Party, led by the Democrat Elite, would destroy our country as we know it.

Trump: “We’ve Never Had a Situation Like is Going On…in Our Country”… He’s Right

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

“Former President Donald Trump celebrated the one-year anniversary of the overruling of Roe v. Wade, hailing the Faith and Freedom Coalition standing for “God, family, and country.”

“As we gather today, our beloved nation is teetering on the edge of tyranny,” Trump told the “Road to Majority 2023” event Saturday night in Washington, D.C., which aired live on Newsmax.

“I believe that, and you believe that, our enemies are waging war on faith and freedom on science and religion, on history and tradition, on law and democracy, on God Almighty himself. They are waging war.

“That’s not a war they’re gonna win.”

Trump denounced Democrats, who he said “they lie, they cheat, and they steal.”

“The radicals are setting fire to our Constitution, abolishing free speech, attacking religious belief, erasing our borders, corrupting our elections – and we have corrupt elections – and trying to impose their blasphemous creed and woke communism on every American man, woman, and child,” Trump continued. “And that’s what they’re doing, and they’re trying so hard. We’ve never had a situation like is going on right now in our country, but the people in this room will never let them do it. They’ll never let them get away with it.”

Trump denounced the election interference campaign and the weaponization of the Biden administration’s Justice Department against his chief political opponent.

“The menacing specter of left-wing repression has been growing steadily for years and years,” Trump continued. “It’s been growing and we were stopping it very powerfully for years, and now it’s picked up at a level that nobody’s ever seen before.

“First they slandered Americans of faith as haters and bigots. Then they corrupted the media. They installed radical left judges to subvert our Constitution. They used the IRS to target conservatives, they spied on our campaign, and specifically, they spied on my campaign and we caught him. Terrible.” (Courtesy Newsmax.com)

Last night, Former President Trump told a gathering of Americans what they already knew.

Before you stop reading this post because you believe that I am turning anti-Trump…hold on.

I believe that the overwhelming majority of Americans already know what is happening to our Constitutional Republic… and agree with him.

Unless you live in one of the “wretched hives of villainy” known as the Beltway, New York City, or the Left Coast, as average Americans you have watched in horror as the same failed fascist Marist political ideology which our parents and grandparents fought against is being openly embraced and championed by “useful idiots”.

And, the same perversion and child “sacrifice” that we read about in the Old Testament in Sunday School and learned about in World History class, which brought down Empires, is being lauded by Far Left Democrats as “rights” protected in “our Democracy”.

Where are the Vichy Republicans when all this is going on?

The Vichy Republicans who were sent to represent us on Capitol Hill seem more intent on flapping their gums in front of television cameras than actually doing something about it.

Meanwhile, the Far Left Democrat Elite, the puppet masters of Joe Biden, have weaponized the DOJ, resulting in political indictments of Former President Trump.

So, Trump is right.

Average Americans have been speaking out about this attack on our Sovereign Nation from within.

However, the Main Stream Media and the Tyrannical Minority in power choose to ignore and insult them.

As I see it, we have to use the two weapons available to all of us in order to win this war against those who want to “radically change” America.

First and foremost, we must all become Prayer Warriors, praying for our country and for principaled political leaders possessing faith and backbones to step up and fight against the evil corruption consuming our Sovereign Nation.

Second, we must go to the polls and vote, removing those who refuse to fight for average Americans.

It’s up to us.

Until He Comes,
