Welcome again you host here remembering Rush Limbaugh who played songs like those back in 1974 on 14K KQV Radio in Pittsburgh under his radio personality name "Jeff Christie".
I wanted to be a DJ back in those days I surfed the dials probably heard El Rushbo since I would hear KQV back then from time to time.
By the time 1985 came around I got a call from the manager at WJTL Radio in Lancaster offering me a gig playing Christian Music on that well-known and still there radio station.
But by then my life was consumed by television news and I didn't accept the offer.
That Top 10 song the Lord's Prayer back in those days..."Deliver us from evil" indeed I am thankful for deliverance from evil today Jesus gave that to me.
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace"

On to a Money Update ABBA with our theme...
Something I wrote down on a piece of paper earlier this year:
February 12th the Dow Jones Industrial Average 38.797.38 points.
February 12th the NASDAQ 15,942.55 points.
Lets go forward to yesterday Friday July 5th.
July 5th the Dow Jones Industrial Average 39,375.87.
July 5th the NASDAQ 18,352.76.
SO BETWEEN FEBRUARY 12TH AND JULY 5TH OF THIS YEAR THE DOW IS 1.53 PERCENT HIGHER.
BUT THE NASDAQ IS 15.1 PERCENT HIGHER.
ITS IN TECH THAT THE MONEY IS BEING MADE.
And one of the great tech centers of the world is Taiwan and around Taiwan the South China Sea the United States used to say Taiwan was part of China the "One China Policy" now a lot of drama about Democracy and Taiwan deciding its future coming out of Washington DC.
That brings us to our War With China Update heck will it be hand to hand "Kung Fu Fighting" like Carl Douglas was singing about 50 years ago...
"A key Marine Corps role is to 'serve as the inside force' in the first island chain-from the Ryukyus to Australia--to curb China's ambitions, Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Eric Smith said Tuesday, adding that no service can deter or defeat Beijing alone."...
THE LEAD PARAGRAPH IN A NEWS STORY FROM THE US NAVAL INSTITUTE NEWS WEBSITE PUBLISHED WEDNESDAY JULY 3RD...
"Marines Want to Shut Down Sea Lines of Communcation in a Pacific Fight, CMC Smith Says"-USNI News
"The Chinese were outsticking us (the United States). Now we're mixing it up"
"It's an away game (for the United States in any conflict in the Indo-Pacific). We have to get lighter and more mobile"
SOME QUOTES FROM MARINE CORPS COMMANDANT GENERAL ERIC SMITH IN THE STORY LINKED ABOVE AS HE SPOKE TO A BROOKINGS INSITUTION EVENT LAST TUESDAY
There's more in that story about the logistical requirements needed to fight China they are extensive but get the message the US is preparing for war with China.
That will be seen at the NATO Summit next week with the leaders of Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea joining it.
As one Russian commentator sees it NATO has already picked its enemy for World War III namely China...

The days before the Independence Day Holiday Newsdump Days and the news dumped this week grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Journalist Julie K. Brown has been paying attention to this matter from her perspective may not the same one as yours or mine but it's her perspective.
"Palm Beach prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek--in front of the grand jury--tells Epstein she committed the crime of prostitution, even though she was 14 years old when Epstein molested her at his Palm Beach mansion"-Julie K. Brown "X"
"The FBI has a file on Epstein. They released portions of it (it's published in the 'vault') but nearly everything--they made public is redacted, making what they released virtually useless. I don't think they will ever come clean on what they knew about Epstein./end
The US Justice Department in the GWB presidency cut this 'sweetheart deal' with Mr. Epstein just years after 9/11 on the basis of him being an "intelligence asset" it has been said.
The Democrats in the room with Epstein too led by Bill Clinton.
And then there's Alan Dershowitz I am not the judge in his case in any case related to Mr. Dershowitz but I know the One who is.
THE SEARCH FOR JUSTICE
"There cannot be anybody who's sought justice in any small or large thing in life discovers very rapidly there isn't much of it about.
Generally you don't get it.
If you do it takes years and its unsatisfactory when it arrives.
It's completely, on the other hand we all appear to be...we all appear to be equipped with a raging desire for it.
So, I don't think one of the most powerful arguments particularly for eternal life is that justice we desire is obviously impossible in temporal life
so it can only be obtainable in eternity so therefore if we desire justice we must seek eternal and hope for it and believe in it"

A CRAZY RADICAL
"This very rangy gaunt man and his wife who was obviously terrified of him in this quite squalid cottage...he had previously been in touch with the organization in Bath and they said they actually had to fire him, they had to lock him up in the cellar once...
it encouraged the idea that actually the far left was not just inapplicable practically but also tended to attract people not really quite right in the mind..."

That's pretty stunning he talks of a Leftist but I've seen this in other places even in my own mirror.
"Almost everything is going to restrict somebody's freedom that's why on so many things Karl Marx was right 'No man fights freedom he fights at most the freedom of others'.
It's a banality anybody who tries to make freedom into a principle which I think some people do on the supposed Right because they, they, they can't stomach Christianity is embracing a nonsense"

PETER HITCHENS IN CONVERSATION WITH ELIZABETH OLDFIELD (THE SACRED)
SIN, LIBERTY AND REPENTANCE
"Civic liberty grows naturally and organically when the Gospel comes to a people and large number of them are freed from their sins. There are no shortcuts. Liberty simply cannot be imposed on a tribe of spiritual dunces..."
DOUG WILSON SPEAKS AT 1:51 INTO THE VIDEO BELOW....
"While there are many heartening signs that have come together there are few heartening signs that are still missing.
Among the discontented and they are right to be discontented there's still too much anger, bitterness malice and rage that is directed at others and not enough repentance.
Repentance is the awareness given by God that we have dragged this all of this down upon our own heads.
We are not where we need to be yet.
For some the blame is aimed at swampy congressmen, for some it is the tech lords, for some it is the Jews...
the problem turns out to be everyone else.
There is a difference between the true prophetic voice and right-wing rage farming.
But make no mistake there really are bad actors out there and the growing oppression is real.
And once repentance has happened we will be in a far better position to deal with the..."

SATURDAY EVENING IN THE USA
Joe Biden is coming to this part of the world Harrisburg tomorrow for an "ice cream social" meanwhile I dropped into a local bistro today bought orange juice to drink and sat down to sign a petition to put Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the ballot here in Pennsylvania.

Well, your host left tired on this Saturday night I won't try to push things too much I will call it a night.
Good Night. God Bless.
"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.
in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God..."
