NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED WEEKEND*THESE PRICES ARE HIGHER TOO*LOVING SPORTS WITHOUT THE $*DO YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING THEY SAY?*
(SOME MATERIAL MAY BE DISTURBING OR OFFENSIVE)
A SUNDAY NEWS SUMMARY BEGINS TO POST AT MIDNIGHT EASTERN US TIME SATURDAY NIGHT.
THE INFLATION REPORT:
In the month of March a 3.3 percent inflation rate in the USA but here are some prices that took an even bigger jump at Walmart recently:
1. A 12 ounce jar of medium roast coffee jumped from 7 dollars 42 cents to 8 dollars 88 cents (19.7 percent higher).
2. A package of 36 "Fun Pops" freezer pops rising from 2 dollars 98 cents to 3 dollars 27 cents (9.7 percent higher).
There's more to higher prices than gasoline.

"These are the first pictures out of Guyana on the incredible orgy of death that took place in the People's Temple agricultural mission at Jonestown.
This is picture number one. This picture was taken from up high.
It shows what the mass suicide looks like when over 400 cultists who believed in everything that Jim Jones said took their own lives"
SAN FRANCISCO ANCHORMAN VAN AMBURG REPORTS ON THE MASS MURDER-SUICIDE IN JONESTOWN, GUYANA IN 1978
Video KGO News Scene 1978 Jonestown
That bit of history reminds me of the many faces out there telling us what they think each day. In the end Jim Jones in Guyana turned out to be a Marxist-Leninist.
For those of you in Rio Linda "Reverend Jim Jones" was a Communist who pretended to be a Protestant follower of Jesus.
Jones called the "Peoples Temple" a "Marxist-Leninist organization" in the final audio tape as the deadly Kool Aid was mixed and dispensed.
So here's a list of "voices" I encounter in the course of a week via social media:
TUCKER CARSLON
THOMAS MASSIE
NICHOLAS J. FUENTES
CANDACE OWENS
JULIE K. BROWN
SARAH PALIN
DOUGLAS WILSON
PETER HITCHENS
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE
BARAK RAVID
DONALD J. TRUMP
Those folks and others are inputs into my life and I do not blindly follow them agree with everything they say etc. but I do pay attention to what they share.
Blindly following other human beings could have dangerous consequences IMHO.
And another thing descending into anger or resentment of these folks even though some may push at buttons with their over-the-top rhetoric is a dead end.
"See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no 'root of bitterness' springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled..."
HEBREWS 12:15 ESV BIBLE
Feminism claims Men are the problem but of course Women make mistakes too here's a country song from the 1970's Crystal Gayle singing about taking the "wrong road again". This is the music I listened to in the 1970's...

"DON'T COME HOME A DRINKIN' (WITH LOVIN' ON YOUR MIND)-LORETTA LYNN

My wife and I in the car hearing that song yesterday and I thought was that song pre-selected by the AI considering our 40th wedding anniversary is tomorrow.
REMEMBERING DAD
Wow there's been a lot in this week the passing of my father he loved sports when the $$$$ just wasn't in it.
He came out of a river town (Sunbury, PA) where he was a high school basketball star, then went to work in a factory and played basketball games in the "Industrial League" back in the 1950's here in York.
In those days the NFL players would come to town to play basketball in the off season my dad got to play basketball against the "Baltimore Colts".
I READ THIS BEFORE I FELL TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT:
"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing,
so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generations. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky
as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
So you too should be glad and rejoice with me."
PHILIPPIANS 4:12-18 NIV BIBLE
