Your host back with you again it's good to be moving forward a mature adult in the room with you more grown up.  

"Puff the Magic Dragon" the little boy leaves childhood fantasy.    I was physically a little boy once but through so many of my physically adult years I remained a little boy inside.

And then Michael Card with "I Have Decided" the video contains captions like "Self-Righteous" and "Pharisees" right on so much of my life in those ghettoes.

The Spirit of God deeply breaking me deeply to repentance this year I die in the moments of temptation to "live like a believer".

"For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death.

But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code"

I was once within 24 inches of Taylor Swift early in her career she was working the autograph line of hundreds of people.    

Taylor was a rising regional country music star at that point.

I'm the janitor you know I rolled my restroom cart right past Taylor Swift.

Did Taylor Swift use the restroom that night?  I don't know all I know is that it stinks when everyone uses the restroom.

She was younger back then not dressed to add a few inches to male anatomy to arouse us to having sex with ourselves or whatever as she would be in more recent times.

Indeed, Hogan's Heroes reminds us of the Ukraine War in which the American and British people through our governments are being increasing committed to the "Russian Front" for Ukraine in a war that aims to bring down Russia.

"Kyiv is aimed at intensifying attacks on ordinary Russians...

the United States is progressively driving itself deeper into the swamp of the Ukrainian conflict...

FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 304*MACRON'S GOV'T DEPENDENT ON NATIONAL RALLY*MACRON TALKS 'COMPROMISES'*LEFT PLANS NEW PROTEST*MARINE LE PEN WANTS SHORT GOVERNMENT*

 

            (NEWS, COMMENT AND ANALYSIS WITH MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCES)

                    A SMALL BAND OF YELLOW VESTS PROTESTERS IN PARIS TODAY

When Emmanuel Macron called the snap National Assembly election in June my sense was that this election was ultimately about electing a majority that was Pro-Capitalist and Pro-Israel.

The new majority would weather tough times ahead driven by military conflict with Russia, economic conflict with China and the Middle East conflict in general.

Pivotal in that majority would be the National Rally which in the end did not finish first like the New Popular Front of the Left did but together with Macron's centrist forces and Les Republicains the Mainstream Right create that majority.

An Elabe poll taken for BFM-TV this week with 2/3 of the respondents saying new Prime Minister Michel Barnier will have to take the National Rally's views into account in order for this government to remain in power.

On Thursday night an event in Le Havre when an angry man confronted President Macron as he worked the crowd without being seized or taken away:

" not respected the result of the legislative elections"

"I think you have cut down a part of the people of France"

You are a hostage of the National Rally"

A sampling of his comments that enabled Mr. Macron to respond with his talking points:

"There are not hostages.   It's a democracy, we try to listen to everyone and respect everyone"

"No one is a hostage to anyone.  It is the French people who have expressed themselves"

Macron then spoke of the 'political forces' needing to make 'compromises' speaking of an:

                 "unprecedented situation".

In the end it can truly be said that Mr. Macron's snap election call directly led to the 'unprecedented situation'...

MEANWHILE LEFT-WING OPPOSITION FORCES HAVE CALLED FOR A NEW ROUND OF PROTEST A WEEK FROM TODAY (SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21st)
