Desperate Dems are Following a Very Familiar Political Strategy

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”, a favorite of the 60s counter-culture, was on the reading list of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, and his First Secretary of State and Failed 2016 Democratic Party Presidential Candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Let’s look at rule #8 – rule #13:

8. Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.

9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.

10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.

11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.

12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

It’s very apparent from what is happening during the White House Residency of Dementia-riddled Joe Biden that somebody has read Alinsky’s book.

When our Founding Fathers sat down to provide form and substance to the laws and procedures for governing this new country, which they had fought and won a bloody war over, by pledging their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, they were very aware of the price of tyranny.

They determined that this new nation would be a Constitutional Republic, having had their fill of monarchies.

In order to ensure that no leader of this new nation would go mad with power, and become a tyrannical despot, our Founders set up a System of Checks and Balances, overseen by Three Branches of Government: the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judicial, with each branch having a distinct and LIMITED role.

The situation, which we as a nation, find ourselves in today, is one which our Founding Fathers sought valiantly to avoid.

Americans are suffering under a “Tyranny of the Minority”.

This minority is not based on color or sexual preference, rather, it is one based on political ideology and self-interest.

As the past several years have showed, even before the election of Donald J. Trump as President, this minority, buoyed by money from “sponsors”, including the Halls of Power in Washington, DC, are willing to shut down anyone who threatens “what they have” by ANY MEANS NECESSARY, including political devices and beliefs, which we, as a country, have gone to war against in the past.

After watching the spoiled brats of the Far Left Democratic Party riot during the Trump Presidency and now, attempt to intimidate our Supreme Court Justices during the residency of the Puppet President, I have noticed that they do not seem to grasp that America is, as I stated earlier, a Constitutional Republic and that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not support turning our country into a Marxist mob-ruled Oligarchy.

The Democrats’ strategy of changing topics to be enraged about is their desperate attempt to hold on to their political power on Capitol Hill.

They know that average Americans have had their fill of their anti-American, anti-traditional faith and values “Tyranny of the Minority”.

They are doing whatever they can in order to keep from experiencing a political tsunami in the Midterm Elections in November.

They believe that we are weak minded sheep who will lose our focus between now and then.

Joe Biden called those of us who are taking a stand against the “radical-changing” of America, “Extremists”.

Well, if being a Patriotic Christian Conservative American makes me an “extremist”, so so be it.

So were our Founding Fathers.

And, “A Charge to Keep I Have”.

White House Silent About Pro-Abortion Groups Planning Protests Outside SC Justices’ Homes

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“The White House on Thursday declined to encourage abortion activists to avoid protesting at the private residences of Supreme Court justices as outrage over a leaked draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade grows.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said President Biden understands and shares the outrage over the news that the Supreme Court may vote to undo Roe, which essentially legalized abortion nationwide.

“The president, for all those women, men, others who feel outraged, who feel scared, who feel concerned, he hears them, he shares that concern and that horror that he saw in that draft opinion,” Psaki said. 

Biden’s message directly to anyone feeling outraged “is participating in peaceful protest,” Psaki said. “Ensure it’s peaceful. Have your voice heard peacefully. We should not be resorting to violence in any way, shape or form.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)”

A national leader condoning the intimidation of governmental figures? The world has seen this before.

To the Wayback Machine, Sherman!

The year is 1903, The Russian Social Democratic Party is meeting in London. All the intellectuals in their party have been arguing since the end of the 1800’s as to the direction the party should take. One year earlier, in 1902, a man named Lenin, living in exile, wrote a paper entitled, “What Is To Be Done”.

The work was smuggled into Russia and spelled out his views regarding what the Social Democrats should be doing as a party. Lenin attacked party members who “were content to wait while history took its predetermined course.” Rather than wait, Lenin wanted to kick-start the issue he believed in to get things done rather than wait on intellectuals sitting around refuting each other’s ideas. The meeting resulted in a Party split creating the Mentsheviks and the Bolsheviks. The two factions reunited under Lenin in April 1905. Lenin went on to organize the November 1917 Russian Revolution on the Promise of “peace. bread, and land”.

Isn’t that like “sharing the wealth”?

Just as Vladimir Lenin used his Bolsheviks to intimidate the Russians into supporting his Marxist Revolution, so those behind the Puppet President, his Administration, and the move of the Democratic Party to the Far Left of the Political Spectrum are using “Useful Idiots” like these Pro-Abortion Activists to intimidate the Supreme Court Justices, just like they have been using New Bolsheviks like BLM and Antifa to attempt to intimidate Americans into accepting a Marxist Democratic Socialist Government, one in which mob rule will replace our Constitutional Republic.

Just as the “New Politboro” want to control our lives from cradle to grave, so do they also want to control our Justice System, as seen by the protestors which have showed up at the Kavanaugh Hearings and outside the Courthouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

To say that our Sovereign Nation is at a tipping point, staring down into an abyss is not an exaggeration.

As Americans, we owe it to those who have given their lives to preserve our freedom to do everything we can to continue to resist the tyranny which is coming out of the White House and Capitol Hill.

The future of our children and grandchildren depends on it.

The Beginning of The Great American Comeback

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

This Saturday morning, I am pondering the Democrats’ reaction to Americans beginning to stand up on their hind legs and starting to fight back against the changing of our Constitutional Republic into a Marxist Oligarchy.

I have never seen such a desperate display of incredulity and arrogance in my entire life.

The Democrats did not expect us to fight back like this. They believed that they had cowered us into passivity during the pandemic with their didactic abusive regulations, lockdowns, and mask mandates which limited our God-given individual freedom as Americans to the point of extinction.

Then, a slow rumble in the ground started.

Americans started refusing to take the unnecessary booster shots. They started throwing away their masks. They started fighting back at school board meetings against Liberal Indoctrination. They started putting Biden stickers on gas pumps.

They started acting like Americans.

To this day, the Democrat Elite cannot figure out why Americans don’t like being subjugated.

They view themselves as benevolent oligarchs who are smarter than average Americans.

They view their election by us common folks as a license to get richer on real estate deals and insider trading.

Far Left Democrats, including the Democrat Elite, are a bunch of pompous windbags who are used to getting their own way.

As we have witnessed this past week, with Elon Musk buying Twitter, they are all for free speech as long as everyone agrees with them.

They are all for being “public servants” as long as they can rule over the ones who elected them.

This country was founded because our ancestors had had their fill of that sort of benevolent dictatorship and authoritarion rule.

The Democrat Elite has become comfortable with being able to exercise a tyranny of the minority through the means of their political power which has been enforced through the mob behavior of their New Bolsheviks like BLM and Antifa and the spread of disinformation by their minions in the Main Stream Media.

Imagine their shock and dismay now that Americans have had enough and are exercising their Constitutional Rights.

If you believe that they are not panicking, just read some of their reactions on Twitter or look at some of the reactions on television, if you can stomach programs like The View and the garbage on CNN and MSNBC.

Can you feel it?

Americans are beginning to stage a comeback.

Are you ready?

The War Against Christianity: SCOTUS Case of HS Football Coach Who Prayed with Players After Games Starts Monday

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

On Monday, the United States Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments in the case of Joseph Kennedy, a Former Washington State High School Football Coach who was suspended and eventually lost his job for leading players in prayer at the 50 yd line after games.

“No child attending public school should have to pray to play school sports,” said Americans United for Separation of Church and State president Rachel Laser, the group representing the school district. “No student should ever be made to feel excluded– whether it’s in the classroom or on the football field– because they don’t share the religious beliefs of their coaches, teachers or fellow students.”  – courtesy of FoxNews.com

How on God’s Green Earth does a high school coach’s Christian Faith harm the “religious freedom” of the teenagers in that high school?

The direction which the Modern Democratic Party has taken 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.

In an article written for Decision Magazine dated February 12, 2012, America’s Pastor, Rev. Billy Graham, wrote on the subject of “Confusing Evil With Good”. Here are some excerpts…

Humanity has always been dexterous at confusing evil with good. That was Adam and Eve’s problem, and it is our problem today. If evil were not made to appear good, there would be no such thing as temptation. It is in their close similarity that the danger lies.

Modern social righteousness often differs from the righteousness of the Bible. Someone has said: “A wrong deed is right if the majority of people declare it not to be wrong.” By this principle we can see our standards shifting from year to year according to the popular vote! Divorce was once frowned upon by society, and laws against fornication and adultery were strictly enforced. But now divorce is accepted by society, and fornication is glorified in our literature and films.

The Bible says: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin, and the Bible says God is going to judge it.

Honesty was once the hallmark of character. But it has been set aside with an “It’s all right if you don’t get caught” philosophy. Only when we are in court are we required to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

…How do we get our values so mixed up? How do we fall into this trap of Satan? For one thing, we’re shortsighted. We look for shortcuts to happiness. Our lust for immediate pleasure prompts us to think of evil as good.

In one of novelist John Steinbeck’s books he has a character saying: “If it succeeds, they will be thought not crooked but clever.” In our desire to achieve success quickly, it is easy to get our values mixed up and call evil good and good evil.

Another way to call evil good is to say that morals are relative. Someone has said: “As the occasion, so the behavior.” We have changed our moral code to fit our behavior instead of changing our behavior to harmonize with our moral code. Nothing is firm today. We are not on solid ground. Young people are shifting from one side to the other. Morally, they are drifting aimlessly without compass or guide.

Still another way that evil is called good is for the conscience to be perverted, and certainly our consciences today are perverted. But right is right even if nobody is right, and wrong is wrong even if everybody is wrong. God does not change the moral law to suit our behavior.

…The modern conscience has been twisted and distorted so badly that it is difficult to tell what is genuine and what is false.

Self-centeredness is another reason we are so inclined to call evil good. When something brings profit or pleasure to us we are inclined to call evil good, even though we know it is dead wrong. “But it’s what I’ve always wanted,” or, “It’s good for me, although I know it’s wrong” are the alibis we have manufactured to justify evil and call it good.

It is very apparent that there is something that is literally tearing apart the fabric of our country.

The only conclusion that I, as a Christian American can reach, is the fact that our Sovereign Nation is in the midst of SPIRITUAL WARFARE for its very soul.

Make no mistake about it, boys and girls, EVIL EXISTS.

My friends, I believe that we are fighting a war against “princes and principalities”. Evil is still alive and well and flourishing in a world in which relative morality and situational ethics are increasingly being accepted as normal behavior.

We see it everyday around us.

It inundates the cable news channels, 24 hours a day. Heck, you can even see it on Facebook.

Since Cain slew Able with a rock, mankind, because we are all fallen creatures, has had to deal with the presence of evil in our lives.

From the legendary massacres, perpetrated by Vlad the Impaler, to the horrific scenes of Hitler’s Concentration Camps, to the killing fields of Pol Pot, to the massacre of innocent Middle Eastern Christians by Islamic State, to the murders by Chicago Street Gangs every night, the Forces of Evil continue to flourish across the globe.

Who we as a nation are struggling with are those forces who want to turn our country into not just an immoral society, but, an amoral one, whose concept of right and wrong is “Whatever Gets You Through the Night (It’s Alright. It’s Alright.)”, and whose ultimate authority is not the God of Abraham, but a Godless All-Powerful Central Government, whose credo is

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. (Karl Marx)

Just as Marxism has failed wherever it has been tried before, so, if allowed to do so, it would lead to America’s downfall.

The galling thing is the fact that, even though American Christians remain the overwhelming majority of the population, we are propagandized and suppressed by the Liberals in both the Old and New Media, to make it seem as if WE are the minority, when, in fact, WE are the majority.

It is this New Generation of Amoral Socialists, who have taken over the Democratic Party, who are in fact, just a tiny, albeit vocal, Minority of America’s population.

So, what can an average Christian American, like you and me, do about this “Tyranny of the Minority”?

Christians have to make a choice in these tough times whether to allow those who are attempting to “radically change” our Sovereign Nation, given to us by God into a Democratic Socialist Paradise or…

As the Apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians, we can STAND.

However, you cannot stand without “the full armor of God”. I have found, as have my family and friends, that the better that you are doing, in terms of your Christian Walk, the harder that you will be attacked.

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.…- Ephesians 6:10-12

Our Christianity as Americans does not and can not end at Noon on Sunday, as we shake the Preacher’s hand and walk out of the sanctuary.

“Onward, Christian Soldiers, marching as to war.”

Because believe me, Americans…we are in one.

Pray for Revival in the Land.

Pray for our country.

Why the Democrats are Calling for Censorship

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

As I sit here this morning trying to understand what’s going on in this Constitutional Republic which I love so much, I am focused on attempting to understand the assumed entitlement of American Liberals.

It’s not just the fact that they have anointed themselves to be superior to average Americans, it’s their egotistic presumption that all Americans believe as they do and that we are grateful for them attempting to turn America into a Marxist Nation.

It is this delusional belief that has now led them to be advocates for censorship.

The fact that Americans are now protesting against their totalitarianism has led the Democrat Elite, including Former President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm), to call for the end of Americans’ Constitutional Right to Free Speech.

Now, they will deny that that is what they’re trying to do. However, it is out there for the whole world to see.

The censorship of Conservative Thought being exercised by Big Tech (you know, the Liberals who run Social Media) has been evident for the past several years, leading up to the banning of Former President Donald J. Trump from their platforms.

Far Left Democrats’ idea of “Free Speech” is anything that agrees with their immoral and unethical point of view.

As polls show, the vast majority of Americans do not agree with turning America into a Far Left Marxist Nation.

Average Americans simply do not support the failed political ideology of today’s Far Left Democrats.

This new censorship movement by the Democrats is their way of telling average Americans to shut up.

The Democrats know that their policies are failing and that their president is a nothing but a demented old puppet whose public actions and words have revealed that he is not capable of being in control of our Federal Government.

And, the Democrats know that they have no credible choice to take his place if they decide to remove him from office.

The Democrats’ Censorship Movement reminds me of the song that the Wicked Witch sings in the remake of “The Wizard of Oz”, “The Wiz”, “Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News”.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, this isn’t a Broadway Musical turned into a movie.

America is still a Constitutional Republic and this is still the real world.

As the late, great Robin Williams used to say

“Reality…what a concept!”

The Mask Mandate is the Dems’ “Wooden Spoon”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Those of us who grew up “back in the day” were lucky enough to have parents who cared enough about us to teach us that there were boundaries.

However, kids being kids, we just had to test those boundaries.

There was no government intrusion into the day-to-day lives of normal American families. Children were brought up to respect Traditional American Values.

However, kids being kids, from time to time those boundaries were crossed.

And when we did cross those boundaries, we were disciplined.

That discipline might come in the form of sticking our face in the corner and standing for several minutes, it might require us washing your mouth out with soap, or, we might have to fetch our mom’s wooden spoon and receive a couple of swats across our backsides.

It occurred to me last night, that the Democrats are awfully anxious to make us continue to wear masks, even though the Chinese Coronavirus has weakened to the point of being no more dangerous than the flu.

The Democrat Elite’s reaction to a federal judge doing away with the Mask Mandate has been very telling.

Most reputable polls show that Americans have had enough of wearing a mask.

Americans are born a free people living in a Constitutional Republic.

We are not sheep in a pasture requiring barking dogs to herd us.

And, therein lies the Democrats’ problem.

The overwhelming majority of Americans are fed up with both the masks and the Democrats.

They’re fed up because Americans have realized after 2 years that the masks are the Democrats’ way of controlling us and keeping us under their thumb.

Furthermore, making children wear masks in school when science itself has proven that children do not get COVID-19 nearly as much as adults is not just a means of control…it is a way of grooming children to be a “part of the flock”, instead of being free-thinking individuals.

The Democrats are witnessing Americans starting to stand up against their totalitarianism. And, they realize that they are about to lose their political power which they have used to take away our rights as Americans.

That is why they want the Mask Mandate reinstated.

Without the restraints of the Mask Mandate, Americans are going to start smiling at each other again and talking about what they have been going through. Then, they are going to realize how badly they have been treated by the Democrats during the pandemic.

And, without the Democrats’ “wooden spoon” (i.e., unconstitutional control of Americans’ daily lives) the Democrat Elite are going to lose their political power.

Because, without something to politically control Americans’ daily lives, the Democrats’ failed political ideology and their verbal support of it will be viewed as nothing but a bunch of “sound and fury signifying nothing”.

And, that’s a good thing.

He is Risen! Resurrection Day 2022

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

This morning, as I lay in bed, The Lord had me thinking about Him. These thoughts were about what today, a day that Christians around the world celebrate as the day that Jesus Christ rose victorious from the grave, must have been like.

Pretend for a moment, that you are an average citizen living at the time of Christ…

[For the past three years, you have seen this charismatic young man speak about the love and mercy of God, and how His Grace and Forgiveness is freely given, IF…

And, there’s the catch…

According to this carpenter’s son from Nazareth, you have to confess your sins, and ask the Great I am, for forgiveness.

Whoa! Wait a minute. Who is this guy? A radical? Ask Yahweh for forgiveness? And, what’s that he said? You will then have a personal relationship with His Father?

How can that be? This is the Great I am. This is the Deity of Vengeance who destroyed those escaped slaves from Egypt for throwing a party, while Moses was up on a mountain, and building and worshiping a Golden Calf.

And, remember what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar? Daniel interpreted a dream for him, explaining that his kingdom would be ruled over by Gentiles until God sent His King. Ol’ Nebby got mad, because he couldn’t rule over the Israelites and over the whole world unless God allowed him to do so. He forgot that, and became very proud. He tried to make the people think that he was very wonderful, and that they should worship him. He didn’t trust God as some of the kings of the Israelites did, but had the very foolish idea that he could be a wise and wonderful king without any help from God.

So, what do you suppose occurred?

Why, the King had another dream, and when he found out what it meant it was really terrible. In this dream God told him that he would lose his mind and would go out in the field and eat grass just like the cattle for seven years. And Nebuchadnezzar actually did this, too. Can you imagine a mighty king, as he thought himself to be, crawling around on the ground eating grass? The Bible tells us that his hair grew long and coarse and looked like bird feathers, and his fingernails became like the claws of animals.

Finally, though, Nebuchadnezzar’s reason returned to him, and when he found out what he had done he was very much ashamed of himself. However, he learned by this experience that he was not as wise and powerful as he had thought. Learning this, he gave praise to God for allowing him to be the ruler.

This is the God that some carpenter’s son from Nazareth has been telling us that we can have a personal relationship with?

Strange indeed.

Finally, one of His disciples betrayed Him and gave Him up to the Romans, who crucified Him.

I noticed that while He was hanging there the guards and some of the townspeople there were mocking Jesus, telling Him that if He was the Son of God, to ”jump down off of that cross”. Meanwhile, some of the centurions were casting lots over His robe.

All except this one centurion, who was just watching Him, as if he was waiting for something to happen…]

And, then came the Glorious Morning…

[Wow. It’s really been amazing around here since they crucified Jesus. Did you feel that earthquake? The veil of the temple was torn in half! And did you hear? A bunch of people that had died years ago, were seen walking around the city! But that’s not all. Don’t tell me you haven’t heard?

Listen to this: He has risen! He arose from the dead and was seen by several people. It’s true! I know it sounds unbelievable. I can scarcely take it in myself. Mary Magdalene and Mary, James and Salome’s mother, went to the tomb to perform the anointing of His body and it wasn’t there! On top of that, there was this young guy there, dressed in a white robe. They said he must have been 9 feet tall. He said, “You are seeking Jesus of Nazareth. Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here. See the place where you laid him.” So they went and told the disciples. But you know how Peter is. He just had to go run up there and see for himself.

Jesus even approached two of them on the road to Emmaus. They didn’t recognize him. He even broke bread with them that night. They realized who He was and He disappeared! They ran to tell the disciples and as they were telling them, Jesus appeared right in front of them! They were all starting to panic. Jesus said, “Peace to you.” But they couldn’t believe it was him, especially Thomas. So he had him touch him in the hole in his hand where they drove the nail and where the spear pierced his side.

Jesus ate with them and performed other signs and miracles in front of them and they understood scripture as never before. He also came to them at the Sea of Tiberius. Peter took the disciples fishing and they weren’t catching anything. Jesus told them from the bank to cast the net down on the right side. They did, and they could hardly bring it in the boat! When they got back to land, Jesus already had a fire going and some fish and bread ready to eat. He asked Peter three times if he loved Him, and each time He told him “Feed my sheep’. Hey, isn’t that the same number of times Peter Denied Him?

Anyway, He taught them many things before He left. They watched as He was taken straight up into heaven. Can you imagine?

The disciples are making plans now to go out and starting spreading the Good News about Jesus’ Resurrection. They are talking about going out in pairs. Man. Nothing is ever going to be the same again.]

The despair being felt by the average citizens of Rome, at the time, is not unlike the situation which we, as average Americans, find ourselves in today.

We, too, are still struggling in the darkness before the dawn.

Our American Culture has been crumbling before our very eyes, as sin, depravity, and personal irresponsibility have been lauded by “the smartest people in the room” as normal, and values to be embraced…a Golden Calf to be worshiped by those who have turned their backs of the Almighty, because He will not give them the worldly gratification they seek…and because they erroneously believe that they are smarter than God, and can interpret and ignore God’s Holy Word in order to ignore and to rewrite to make it mean whatever they want to, in order to assuage their own consciousness, in an attempt to stifle that “Still Small Voice” within them, Who is reminding them of their sin and the consequences of it.

For the past several years, our Sovereign Nation and the rest of the world have been fighting enemies foreign and domestic, even within our own government, along with a Chinese Coronavirus, a combination of challenges which have claimed thousands of deaths in our country and the loss of jobs for millions of Americans.

On April 10, 2020, United States President Donald J. Trump spoke the following words, as part of an Easter Blessing:

His words ring as true today as they did two years ago.

On this Good Friday, Christians from all around the world remember the suffering and death upon the cross of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. At Easter Sunday, we will celebrate his glorious resurrection. At this holy time, our nation is engaged in a battle like never before — the invisible enemy. Our brave doctors, nurses, and responders — first responders, responders of all — are fighting to save lives. Our workers are racing to deliver critical medical supplies. Our best scientists are working around the clock to develop lifesaving therapeutics, and I think they’re doing really well in doing so. Our people are making tremendous sacrifices to end this pandemic.

Though we will not be able to gather together with one another as we normally would on Easter, we can use this sacred time to focus on prayer, reflection, and growing in our personal relationship with God. So important.

I ask all Americans to pray that God will heal our nation; to bring comfort to those who are grieving; to give strength to the doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers; to restore health to the sick; and to renew the hope in every person who is suffering. Our nation will come through like never before.

I thank the many families who have prayed for me and for my family. And your prayers are felt, and I am forever grateful.

I’d like to thank our great Vice President and his wonderful wife, who we all know very well, Karen, for the incredible job they do and for their service not only to the country but for their service to God.

Almost 3,000 years ago, the Prophet Isaiah wrote these words: “Darkness covers the Earth…but the Lord rises upon you, and His glory appears over you…For the Lord will be your everlasting light.”

As our nation battles the invisible enemy, we reaffirm that Americans believe in the power of prayer. We give thanks for the majesty of creation and for the gift of eternal life. And we place our trust in the hands of Almighty God.

I’d like to just wish everybody a very Happy Easter. We’re going to be celebrating that very, very special day, and it’s going to be, hopefully, a very good weekend and a very productive weekend.

And I want to thank everybody in our country and beyond for all they’ve had to put up with. One hundred and eighty-four countries, as of this morning, are fighting this enemy and we pray for them all.

Today, as we watch an out-of-control Congress and Administration attempt to take away our American Freedom, we all need to remember the words of President Ronald Reagan:

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

Fellow Americans….my message to you on this Resurrection Day 2022 is

DO NOT GIVE UP ON GOD. DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE FOUNDING FATHERS’ HOPE, WHICH BECAME AMERICA.

As the old country Preacher’s wife always told him when she took away his plate after supper,

Hold on to your fork, Hon. Dessert is on it’s way.

The final chapter of the amazing story of our Blessed Land has not been written yet. It is up to each and every one of us to write it, strengthened by the Grace of God.

Until He Comes,

There is Always Hope

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

Today is Holy Saturday, the day before the Greatest Event in Human History.

The world back then was a very different place but in some ways very similar to what we’re experiencing now.

People were having their freedoms being taken away by an oppressive government who did not care what the people wanted and were only interested in the acquisition of political power and prestige.

Oppressive laws were put in place and people who were already suffering were being taxed to the point of starvation.

They dare not speak out against the government for fear of retribution and being labeled as heretics and revolutionaries or being jailed or killed for speaking out.

So, common folks tried to live their lives as best they could, providing for their families, while looking for some glimmer of hope… Someone to tell them that they were loved and appreciated.

And then, Someone did appear…a Carpenter’s Son from Nazareth, who spoke about the love of His Father and unfathomable joy, grace, and forgiveness.

The professional politicians in charge of the oppressive government saw the fear of those whom they controlled slipping away as a result of the Good News being spread by the Man From Galilee.

So, with the help of one of his own followers who betrayed him, they framed him, tried him, and crucified him.

And, they thought that they had won.

But, they had overestimated themselves and underestimated the Power of God’s Love.

Today, America finds itself facing a new form of oppression. Average Americans are being told that they are ignorant, uncaring, or revolutionaries because they hold on to traditional faith and values,while objecting to their individual freedoms being taken away, because the majority in this country are still guided by the Divine Spark which that Carpenter’s Son left in each of us.

So, I’m going to going to end my thoughts for this Saturday before Resurrection Sunday by telling you that man’s evil political machinations will not triumph.

There is always hope.

Joy comes in the morning.

Palm Sunday: The Arrival of the King of Kings

On By kingsjesterIn ChristianityLeave a comment

 

th1YFEHLM0Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage[a] and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; 2 and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”

4 So they went their way, and found the[b] colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. 5 But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”

6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

“Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’[c]
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David
That comes in the name of the Lord![d]
Hosanna in the highest!”

11 And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve. – Mark 11:1-11

What must it have been like, in Jesus’s day, as they waited on and then experienced, His arrival into Jerusalem?

They must have really been puzzled at this carpenter’s son from Nazareth.

The only information that they had on Jesus back then, was word of mouth. There was no internet and was no television there was no communication of any form except for word of mouth.

We all know how information that is shared word of mouth changes from the original message with each person that tells the story.

By the time word came to Jerusalem, they probably thought that Jesus was a conquering Warrior King, who was going to set them free of the tyranny of Rome.

They were right and wrong, all the same time.

Jesus Christ came to set them free, all right, but it was not from Pontius Pilate and the Roman Empire. Christ came to set us all free…from our sin. Sin is a thief, which destroys us from within and everyone around us, keeping us in slavery so that we will not ever be truly free.

What must they have thought when they saw this promised King come riding in on the back of a lowly donkey?

I am sure that there were some in attendance who experienced a major letdown. Their minds probably had difficulty, trying to reconcile their pre-conceived expectations of Jesus, with the reality of the Son of God.

Who was this guy on the donkey that the local kids were laying palm branches down in front of?

It may seem strange, but today’s non-believers seem to still be experiencing that problem with reconciling their preconceived notions of whom Jesus Christ is, with the reality of His unconditional love and acceptance, after repentance.

They don’t seem to understand that…

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. – Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ meets you where you are with an extended hand, not a shield and sword.

…That comes later.

The hard part about Salvation is accepting the fact that, as human beings, we all possess a sinful nature. And, that without His love and indwelling within us, we can do nothing at all.

Christ has done his part. He died for our sins.

Now, if you haven’t accepted him yet as your Personal Savior, it is up to you to do your part and seek forgiveness for your sins.

All those centuries ago, those common people of Jerusalem, at least, most of them, did not have a clue as to whom Jesus actually was, and the fact that they were entertaining the King of Kings, the Son of God.

In Modern American Society, we do not have that excuse.

We have God’s Word, available to us, in many translations, in paperback, hard-cover, in audio and video, and on-line.

There is no excuse, in any Modern Culture, especially here in America, to not be familiar with the Root of Jesse, the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, the Lion of Judah, the Son of God, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords.

We in this generation, may have the same opportunity to see Christ, as those in Jerusalem did, so long ago.

Although no man knows the hour, Christ is coming again.

And, he’s coming for all those who worship Him in beauty and in truth.

Will YOU recognize him?

As the following song says,

“Praise God! He’s coming for me!”

The King is Coming (Words and Music by Bill Gaither)

The marketplace is empty, no more traffic in the street
All the builder’s tools are silent, no more time to harvest wheat
Busy housewives cease their labor, in the courtroom no debate
Work on earth has been suspended as the King comes through the gate

Happy faces line the hallway, those whose lives have been redeemed
Broken homes He has mended, those from prison He has freed
Little children and the aged hand in hand stand all a-glow
Who were crippled, broken, ruined, clad in garments white as snow

Chorus:
The King is coming, the King is coming
I just heard the trumpet sounding and soon His face I’ll see
The King is coming, the King is coming
Praise God, He’s coming for me

I can hear the chariots rumble, I can see the marching throng
And the flurry of God’s trumpet spells the end of sin and wrong
Regal robes are now unfolded, heaven’s grandstands all in place
Heaven’s choir is now assembled, start to sing “Amazing Grace”

Chorus:
The King is coming, the King is coming
I just heard the trumpet sounding and soon His face I’ll see
The King is coming, the King is coming
Praise God, He’s coming for me

Until He Comes,

KJ

A Matter of Indoctrination

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, Politics1 Comment

I was watching “Fox and Friends” this morning and they were talking about how this present generation of students responded in a poll that 1/5 of them belonged to the “Alphabet Community”.

You know the one I’m talking about. Those who were referred to as being of an “alternate lifestyle” until recently.

When I was in college in the late 1970s, I took a course on it that was called “The Sociology of Deviant Behavior”.

Americans are facing the fact that for students have been by social engineers disguised at teachers, who have been filling young minds full of mush with political and social ideas that run not only against what traditional American society has viewed as normal but the political ideas themselves are traitorous.

The murderous sociopath who turned Russia into a Marxist Nation, Vladimir Lenin, stated that if you gave him your children for 8 years he would turn them into Marxists.

That single statement fully explains how we got into the predicament we are facing as a nation.

American parents have allowed the schools to teach their children the opposite political, social, and cultural ideology of Traditional American Society, purposely indoctrinating them to rebel against Traditional American Faith and Values.

What I find quite revealing is that now that those who have been purposely indoctrinating our children are being caught and called on the carpet for it, they act as if they have done nothing wrong.

Their reaction reveals them to be the ideologues which we are all doing them as.

Yes, there are still great teachers out there who still believe in America. They want to educate our children but they are constricted by the system which they are teaching in and by pressure on them to conform.

The good news is, I believe that we will be seeing local school board members who claimed that parents had no say as to what their children were taught voted out and concerned parents voted in to take their places.

That is a good start. However, we’ve got to go out there and vote out all of those Marxist Ideologues who would enslave Americans as their “New Proletariat”.

This is not just a fight to regain cultural and societal norms.

There is a fight going on between “Princes and Principalities”

This was foretold by Jesus Christ, whose entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey we will remember on Palm Sunday.

I have read The Book and I know how this ends.

Tbat being said,I believe we are called upon to “fight the Good Fight” until then.

Until He Comes,

KJ
