SUPPORT FREE REPUBLIC
Money is tight right now this month five years ago the floodgates of inflation were released I knew back then these days were coming.
But in spite of the money crunch I hope some can join me in supporting Free Republic.
I first started lurking in earnest on FR 20 years ago Rush Limbaugh made many references to FR and I dropped in now and then since I got on the internet in 2001.
But 20 years ago this month as Terri Schiavo was put to death and Jeb Bush put his political career to death I got closer to FR eventually joining and eventually giving regular financial support.

NEWSDUMP ALERT: EUROPEAN UNION FOREIGN POLICY CHIEF SAYS FREE WORLD NEEDS NEW LEADER AFTER TRUMP DEMANDS PEACE IN UKRAINE
"The free world needs a new leader"
Those words from the former Prime Minister of the Baltic nation of Estonia now European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.
That's her reaction to President Trump's insistence that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky move to end the Ukraine War against Russia...
"The free world needs a new leader', EU foreign chief warns...."_The Independent UK
Compared to the European Union I think the "free world" already has leadership.
(THE US GOVERNMENT STARTED THIS UKRAINE WAR AGAINST RUSSIA AS I SEE IT AND THE US GOVERNMENT HAS A RIGHT TO END IT)
Hope we can away from the anger here I feel like resorting to 12-Step Literature for the moment...
"This brave philosophy, wherein each man plays God, sounds good in the speaking, but it still has to meet the acid test: how well does it actually work? One good look in the mirror ought to be answer enough for any alcoholic.
Should his own image in the mirror be too awful to contemplate (and it usually is), he might first take a look at the results normal people are getting from self-sufficiency.
Everywhere he sees people filled with anger and fear, society breaking up into warring fragments.
Every such pressure group, if it is strong enough, self-righteously imposes its will upon the rest.
And everywhere the same thing is being done on an individual basis. The sum of all this mighty effort is less peace, and less brotherhood than before.
The philosophy of self-sufficiency is not paying off..."
Alcoholics Anonymous "Twelve and Twelve" Step Three (pg. 37)
"But he said to me 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me"
I Corinthians 12:9 NIV Bible
This was originally a Chuck Berry song with 1960's Civil Rights history weaved into it.
Freddy Weller of "Paul Revere and the Raiders" recorded this as a country song in the early 70's...
"THE PROMISED LAND"-FREDDY WELLER
"MICHAEL (ROW THE BOAT ASHORE)"-THE HIGHWAYMEN
"THESE SIGNS"-LEON PATILLO
Your currently sober drunk host with you again seeking media excellence.
That last song there an example of Contemporary Christian Music from 1979 based on this passage from the "Good Book":
"And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons, they will speak in new tongues;
they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison; it will not hurt them at all;
they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well"
Mark 16:17-18 NIV Bible
In church last Sunday I heard this message coming up on video.
The message from Pastor Ben Lawrence comes at 52 minutes Acts Chapter 4 pretty interesting stuff those who followed Jesus hauled into court by the "Sadducees" among others I rate "Sadducees" as "Liberals".
These Liberals not happy with the miraculous healing of a man done in the name of Jesus.
But the "Pharisees" the "Conservatives" like me have an even bigger place in denying the Lord and being critical of those who follow Him.
How many times in my life did I put some other agenda ahead of that of my Lord Jesus Christ?
Countless times indeed.
FOREIGN INFLUENCES ON US POLICY
What about "foreign influence" over our government here in the USA???
On social media I suggest influence that may be coming from like the countries that start with "I".
First reaction to the middle of the night social media video from President Trump early Wednesday morning.
That video showing his vision of Gaza he sits on the beach with Benjamin Netanyahu among other things...
"That certainly exemplifies @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk the real Gaza looks like Berlin in May of 1945. The difference being that the Germans surrendered to the Red Army. Hamas hasn't surrendered to Israel a major challenge to @netanyahu and @realDonaldTrump"
In Canada this week New Democrat Party leader Jagmeet Singh who is indeed Sikh making noise saying Donald Trump should be banned from Canada. His party sagging in the polls.
A Sikh nationalist leader murdered in Canada Justin Trudeau linked it to India's Hindu nationalist government.
The FBI probing Indian government intimidation of Sikhs here in the USA but now a Hindu is in charge of the FBI.
Will that Hindu nationalist government of India still be under scrutiny for threats to Sikhs???
"Jagmeet Singh looks Sikh to me in the Biden Administration the @FBI was probing Indian government efforts to intimidate and even kill Sikhs advocating for independence from India. Similar probing in Canada by the @RCMP. What will @FBIDirectorKash be doing. Kash Patel?"
This news story from last October...
"US charges Indian government employee in failed Sikh separatist murder plot"-Al Jazeera
Getting back to last year's Republican Primary campaign it's worth noting that Nikki Haley was challenging President Trump.
Haley besides being a Neocon also has Sikh heritage and President Trump was tough on her???
Getting back to Kash Patel Douglas Wilson offers an opinion from his "Christian Nationalist" perch...
"MY SWEET LORD"-GEORGE HARRISON (LIVE)
"A DIFFERENT KIND OF LIGHT"-THE 77s
