There is darkness to reach out into indeed especially if I have 'seen the light':

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?  

Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,

But regardless James is a dyed in the wool Democrat and his focus right now is on Demonizing Donald Trump.

The six Senators three Democrats Chuck Schumer the Majority Leader then along with Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Jon Ossoff of Georgia.

The three Republicans Mike Crapo ranking Republican then on the Finance Committee a stand in for Mitch McConnell IMHO alongside the two Republican Senators from Louisiana Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy.

Since their visit Japanese investment the takeover of US Steel by Nippon Steel South Korea's Hanwha buying the Philadelphia Shipyard and other similar projects and we get this deal for 600,000 Chinese students.

Other aspects I brought up in other social media posts the need to keep Russia and China separated from Iran.

If Israel runs the US government-foreign policy the US can't be hostile to nations that could harm Israel's ability to bring about regime change in Iran.

And yes it makes sense for Donald Trump to do rope a dope on the Ukraine War let Russia beat up Ukraine a nation backed by the UK and France as they offend Israel with plans to recognize a Palestinian state in three weeks.

                             ISRAEL THE DAYS AHEAD

1.The court case over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's government trying to fire the Attorney General prosecuting him at this corruption trial at the High Court.

2. The actual corruption trial of Mr. Netanyahu the trial President Trump demands an end to set to resume after the Iran War break back in June.

3. The vitally important matter of shutting down the planned conference to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN in New York.  Britain and France big players those countries in for something in the coming weeks its obvious from reading the headlines.

4. The "Qatargate" the scandal the story of aides to Mr. Netanyahu getting millions of dollars from Qatar the nation that bankrolled Hamas in Gaza before during and after the attack of October 7, 2023.

5. The "Gaza War" itself Israel's military offensive into Gaza City as Netanayhu seeks 'victory' with the lives of the hostages held in Gaza City hanging in the balance.

6. The Anti-War protests among secular and socially liberal Israelis demanding an end to the Gaza War a deal with Hamas to get the hostages out.

7. The "Draft Dodger" resistance among religious Israelis a vast majority of some 80,000 Haredi Jews sent their notices to join the military balking.  Ultra-Orthodox protesters coming out to fight police and block highways from time to time.

8. Israel's repeated attacks on Syria in the name of supporting its Druze minority triggering economic sanctions from Turkey on Friday.   Does conflict with Turkey help Netanyahu push items 1-8 on this list under the rug?

9. And then there's Iran would a resumption of all-out war with Iran help Netanyahu push items 1-8 on this list under the rug?

There you have it a lot for me to deal with and ultimately let go of as the events unfold in the days and weeks ahead.  The news summaries will lay out developments at they occur.

"A Cure For Heart Trouble"-Dr. Billy Graham Philadelphia 1992

A "Change of Heart" a theme in the 12-step movement that's for sure and last year a change of heart for me with a heart hurting over my sin.

Dr. James Dobson was being remembered last weekend I needed a week to reflect on what I'm about to say.

                             (WARNING: THIS SEGMENT MAY OFFEND)

ACCORDING TO DR. JAMES DOBSON I BECAME AN ADULT LAST YEAR

I remember the 1980's and the Christian subculture all the 'experts' God Bless the memory of Dr. James Dobson.   Focus on the Family was a resource trying to help Christians and families.

Dr. Dobson wrote books himself based on his experiences in psychology and in those writings I recall Dr. Dobson noting that boys around 13 or 14 years old have sex with themselves.

For those of you in Rio Linda that's masturbation.

But as Dr, Dobson wrote in his day boys grow out of that they move beyond it after the age of 13 or 14.

For me that activity started well before puberty heck six and half year old.  And whenever the advisory about 'mature content' on television came up my hands went down.

And for 57 more years in shameful situation after shameful situation I acted out in my isolation from God in my Pre-Hell isolated existence of Hell on Earth.

And last year at the age of 64 I walked away from sex with self.  So now I can consider myself a mature adult.

                              And the people said "Amen"

I guess if the world needs a "Lust Evangelist" I just put myself out there I'm making Michael Savage and "Psychological Nudity" look pretty tame.

At the name of Jesus let there be great joy and great rejoicing.  The Holy Spirit did get into my heart last year bringing pain and repentance not to bring nonsense to my lips but Love, Joy and Peace.

"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 the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient...

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 transgression--it is by grace you have been saved...

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God"

                            EPHESIANS 2:1,4-5, 8 NIV BIBLE

The "Spiritual Life" is lived in each and every moment the Holy Spirit ("Higher Power") wants you and me to take the next right action in the next moment we live.

                                                              Good Night.   God Bless.

              "offense to France as a whole"

PRESIDENT MACRON ON PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU'S LINKAGE OF PALESTINIAN STATE RECOGNITION TO ANTISEMITISM

French President Emmanuel Macron rejecting the accusation of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that France's decision to recognize a Palestinian state fuels antisemitism.

                                        Ynet News Israel

The French Foreign Ministry calling in US Ambassador Charles Kushner when he raised the notion that France was falling short in dealing with antisemitism.

Earlier this year National Rally President Jordan Bardella was in Israel at an antisemitism conference sponsored by Mr. Netanyahu's government now Bardella is putting pressure on President Macron as France moves towards recognizing a Palestinian state at the UN next month.

Bardella speaking of "institutional blockage" in France seeking either dissolution of the National Assembly for legislative elections or the resignation of Mr. Macron to trigger a presidential election...

                                       BFM-TV News Story

Jordan Bardella now literally the point man for the National Rally with Marine Le Pen sidelined by a corruption conviction and a ban on running for public office.

She is appealing her conviction with a ruling expected next year.

Bardella has polling numbers similar to Le Pen's and would be the man to beat if there were a Presidential election in 2027 or even earlier as Mr. Bardella is pushing for.

But the other political possibility is a vote of no-confidence in the National Assembly leading to new legislative elections.

An Elabe poll this weekend puts the National Rally in the lead for the first-round vote between 31 and 31.5 percent.

A united Left could score 23.5 percent of the vote a split Left would divide into 16.5 percent and 10 percent of the vote.

The parties of President Macron would be at 13.5-14 percent of the vote.

The "Old Right" Les Republicains at 10.5 percent with the Reconquete anti-immigration movement of Jewish political commentator Eric Zemmour at around 4.5 to 5 percent.

This poll does not break down a second round vote but asks the question if voters want to block the National Rally from winning the second round.

It comes out 53 percent don't want the National Rally stopped in the second round with 46 percent wanting it to lose the decisive round.
