HOW WASHINGTON WORKS

Many of us don’t realize how Washington D.C. and the corporate media work. That’s because duplicity and dishonesty are not hallmarks of the working class, generally speaking. But in the cutthroat white-collar precincts, such as Washington, DC, there is a far different code of conduct. That is because the unelected bureaucracy in DC is largely comprised of liberal “civil servants”. That doesn’t change when a Republican administration takes over, as Donald Trump found out, to his horror.

Many of corporate agencies are liberal and many executives who supervise news agencies are liberal. Once they achieve corporate power, they are generally sympathetic to the Democratic Party and pay no attention to others when they yell foul. Often their social lives are dominated by invitations to events organized by like-minded people. It’s getting that way in Hollywood.

Notes from an Old Bible

“And Jesus said, somebody hath touched Me; for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me.” Luke 8:46 It’s difficult to imagine what life was like in Israel during the time of Jesus. The Jews experienced terrible suffering under Roman rule, physically, emotionally, spiritually. The Romans were brutal, violent oppressors who took every opportunity to whip their subjects in to submission. They despised the Jewish faith and the Jews despised the Romans because of their oppressive taxes and unclean, pagan culture. Daily living for every Jew was an act of faith. They spent every waking moment trying to keep not only the Torah (Mosaic law) but the 600 plus man made laws imposed on them by the Pharisees and the Sadducees. No one could be pure enough or holy enough or without blemish before God under such self-righteous leaders. No wonder their hearts soared when they heard Him teach. What a breath of fresh air.

STRANGE DEVELOPMENTS It’s obvious that the Democrats want Trump out of the political arena totally, and they are throwing the kitchen sink at him.

In the past, Democrats have complained many times that an election was stolen. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee stated: “If Fani Willis, the District Attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, was interested in indicting such people, she’d go after them and not just former President Donald Trump. She’d have (former Georgia gubernatorial candidate) Stacey Abrams in leg shackles by now, be arresting Hillary Clinton and a bunch of Democrats who have never accepted the results of the 2016 election or, for that matter, the election in 2000 or 2004. Democrats have a long history of saying elections were illegitimate, that this person isn’t right, and that the election was stolen. They get away with it.”

DEMOCRATS ATTACK THE SUPREME COURT The Democrats are now making attacks against the Supreme Court. This is brought on because some of the rulings by the Supreme Court do not please the Democrats. They want to change the members and make the Court more liberal. The new attack at this time is Justice Samuel Alito. They have been working on Clarence Thomas for sometime.

THE STATE WE ARE IN.

Want a friend? Be a friend

You may have heard this before. I went out to find a friend a none were to be found. I went out to be a friend and found them all around.

Where do you find friends? Your best friends may be your family. You may be close to siblings, cousins, and others related to you. Growing up, I was blessed to be around a lot of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, siblings, and parents. I didn’t have to think much about searching for friends because so many relatives were always around. This is not always the case. Many people have small families or maybe even no family. Some families go in different directions, live in different places, or move on with different interests and lives.

We often find friends in school. Some of the people we shared elementary and high school with become lifelong connections. Even if we don’t see each other much, we still have those great past times that help us reconnect quickly.

Social Security Matters

Ask Rusty – I’m a Veteran. How Do I Get My Extra Social Security?

Dear Rusty: As a military veteran, I was told that the final amount of my Social Security should be a little higher as a reward for military service. If so, I have two questions: 1. How much is the boost? 2. How can I know that amount has been applied? Signed: Unsure Dear Unsure: We receive questions about this fairly often from our military veterans. I want to first thank you for your service to our country and then assure you that, as a military veteran myself, I have thoroughly investigated this subject - the so-called “Special Extra Credit for Military Service,” which is widely misunderstood. Although someone suggested that your Social Security benefit “is supposed to be a little higher” because you are a military veteran, allow me to share how this somewhat obscure rule actually works.

Notes from an Old Bible

How many folks, especially young people, struggle with their faith? There can be many reasons as to why, they struggle. One area is salvation-always questioning if they are truly saved. Another area is their fellowship with God -always thinking sin is keeping them from God’s presence. Another area is with their thinking-always carried about by every wind of doctrine. Why is this? Especially with the first two. I can answer this because I struggled my whole young adult life with the issue of was my faith real. I didn’t doubt God, I doubted myself! I doubted my salvation. How could I sin if I was saved. Was I really sincere when I ask God to save me? I think the answer lies in how we approach faith. I also think that when young people or anyone for that matter gets saved, they need discipleship training. I didn’t get this, and I really had a hard time understanding my relationship with God. Back to the subject of faith now.
