NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED: THROUGH THE NIGHT
(EARLY SEGMENT)
Music Links:
Well there you go a couple of methods of intoxication in the music the pill way with the Rolling Stones and Brewer and Shipley's ode to the "weedy" way of getting high from 1971 that I remember hearing all over the radio back then.
"When will the Christians stand up?"
And I got an answer based on my personal experience:
"When the Christians get sober"
I am a great hypocrite and user of the Lord's name in vain by my wrong actions that hurt others and sent the wrong message.
Preaching down to people coming back to bite in France for Emmanuel Macron's political party (LaRem-La Republique En Marche) with its lead candidate for the European Parliament elections next month, Nathalie Loiseau.
She condemns the "far-right" but it turns out that back in the 1980's as a student she was on a list of candidates for the "far-right" in a student election.
Calling her on her moralistic attitude 23 year old Jordan Bardella, the lead candidate of the National Rally Party of Marine Le Pen:
"What annoys me is that she thinks she is Jean Moulin thinking herself a high priestess of the fight against extreme right giving moral lessons to everyone, when in reality she was caught with in the pot Nutella"
Polling in France on the Yellow Vests shows 70 percent of those over 65 and 59 percent of 18-24 year olds, along with 75 percent of business executives want the protests to stop. Among the rank and file working people that's only 53 percent.
Overall the polling claims 60 percent of the people in France want the protests to stop.
President Emmanuel Macron now set to speak an offer his economic program to respond to the concerns of the Yellow Vests at 8 pm Thursday night, 2 pm Thursday afternoon in the Eastern USA.
Those "Christian Conservatives" who met with the "Butcher of Riyadh" Mohammed Bin Salman the other month talking about "people of faith" and so on but the latest terrorist outrage in Sri Lanka reminds us of the home of the terrorist ideology.
Watch this video.....SAUDI IDEOLOGY BEHIND TERRORISM HIDDEN BY TRUMP/PENCE
Politics to be sure from a Democrat Congresswoman running for President but plenty of truth mixed in.
In the religious media, I was listening to a religious radio station in the last year or so hearing Jay Sekulow on his radio. Sekulow, a lawyer for the President in the Mueller matter, but also a conservative religious activist.
He was peddling a book to tell people that Iran is behind terrorism in the world.
Its been decided in high places that for the sake of Israel, Saudi Arabia needs to be supported do or die regardless of how women are treated in that country and the militant ideology they have spread around the world with disastrous consequences and the list goes on like the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
The Saudis executed 37 Shia Islamic militants the other day, one by crucifixion, for attacking a police station. They are the competing brand of Islam and their lives are worth less.
(1015 PM EASTERN)
As the screws are tightened on oil exports from Shia Muslim Iran, Venezuela and as the fighting goes on in Libya, the oil price up.
Gasoline prices up a dime a gallon reaching 299.9 or 3 dollars a gallon essentially around these parts in south central PA.
President Trump tweeted that Saudi Arabia and OPEC would take care of this the other day. Still waiting for gas prices to ease....

"I HAVE DECIDED"-MICHAEL CARD
(155 AM EASTERN)
Back and listening to singer-songwriter Michael Card brings back a reminder of my hypocrisy. Years ago at a religious media event I was disturbed by my surroundings and I was bothered by all the women, glitz, glamour, personalities. My problem, my disturbance but Mr. Michael Card was there and he seemed to be the sober and sane person in the room IMHO.
So much going with religious hypocrisy and part of my experience was switching churches wanting to see the wrong in each one and moving onto the next.
People switch religions too like Sinead O'Connor did this year coming out as a Muslim.
She was raised Catholic in Ireland and all that but of course tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II on "Saturday Night Live" decades ago. O'Connor talking about "the real enemy" as she did that.
Religious situations can hurt people in real and imagined ways but lets be real a lot of religious hypocrisy and I own my share of it that has harmed others and hurt them and confused them.
(215 AM EASTERN)
Backing away from the news, we'll get to that later.
I like to listen to speakers like the one at this link. Clancy I (Clancy Imislund) speaks from his experience as an alcoholic, a drunk like me.
The video goes by the title "The Grace of God" and there's no specific faith in the context of this message, but there is the Higher Power. The power than myself that restores me to sanity.
Here is a link:

At the end of the line the top of the news from Vladivostok in the far east of Russia, the summit between Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin. Putin said to be offering support for normalizing relations between North Korea and the US, but the BBC has a story.....LINK
And from India's NDTV more on the efforts following the terrorist attacks on Easter Sunday to increase security and hunt for suspects in Sri Lanka.....LINK
Fear is a tough thing for drunks like me and I'm sure there's plenty of it out there in the intoxicated world if you will.
There's gotta be a better way that a heart that rages inside with anger, fear etc, etc.
Glen Campbell sang this in those troubled times back around 1970....
