America Must Stand And Fight The War ( Not In The Middle East)

 

 

 

  In response to a recent poll regarding America's role in the Straight of Hormuz,
as long as the demoniac remains of the Iranian regime keep launching rockets,
threatening Israel, and other nations in the Middle East, there is a vital need
for an international alliance to protect and defend these waters in the
interests of global trade and energy.

While I believe America's support for the nation and people of Israel
is important, I am opposed to any long term involvement in the region.
Especially American boots on the ground there.

President Trump says that this war will end soon, and yet, I recently read 
that the Pentagon is requesting a $200 billion dollar "war budget" for
this latest conflict!  What about average Americans struggling to buy
food, gas, and pay escalating energy bills?

Someone once told me that there is enough natural gas and oil deposits
beneath our own soil and that America should never have to depend on
imported oil in the first place. I believe he was right.

Furthermore, I think years of foreign entanglements with nations whose
religious ideology and worldview is diametrically opposed to our own way
of life has placed America's freedom in serious jeopardy.

Who thought that only 25 years after the worst terrorist attack launched on
U.S. soil in this century, New York City would elect an unapologetic Islamist
as their mayor?  A man whose wife was caught "liking" with a heart, far-left
social media posts celebrating the horrific massacre of Israeli men, women,
and children on October 7, 2023.  

According to one report in the New York Post, NY Mayor Zohran Mamdani's wife,
 Rama Duwaji liked a February 2024 Instagram post questioning the validity of 
a New York Times report about the  campaign of sexual violence perpetrated
   against Israeli civilians on that horrible day nearly three years ago.

According to Israeli survivor Tali Binder, who managed to hide from Hamas
that day,  "I would expect any woman-especially Mrs. Mamdani- to at least try
to imagine...To close her eyes and picture evil people breaking into her home,
her safe space, assaulting her and her husband, daring to sexually violate her
in front of her family, murdering her children before her eyes. This is exactly
what our women and men experienced on October 7th."

Binder further claims that denials of the hideous crimes committed, and the
   NYC First Lady's support of them, "makes my blood boil, not just because of 
the injustice to the victims of October 7th, but because every time sexual violence
 is politicized or denied, it weakens the protection women everywhere should have."

It seems to me, however, like Rama Duwaji-Momdani got a free pass from
most of the media, while courageous men like Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala),
 have been taken to task by this same passel of useful idiots who recently accused him 
of "spreading Islamophobic rhetoric" for daring to look our enemies in the eye
  and calling them out for what they are, enemies of the American people.

The terrible atrocities which occurred on October 7th in Israel should 
serve as a reminder to us all that Islam is the foe of liberty and all that
We The People hold dear in regards to our existence as a free and
independent nation and people.

The English writer, Rudyard Kipling once wrote:"Stand up and take the war,
 the Hun is at the gate."  In America's case: "Stand up and fight the war.
  Our enemies have crashed through the gate and have entered the hinterland."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday Poetry Corner: Mindful Of You The Sodden Earth In Spring

Mindful of you the sodden earth in spring,

And all the flowers that in the springtime grow;

And dusty roads, and thistles, and the slow

Rising of the round moon; all throats that sing

The summer through, and each departing wing,

And all the nests that the bared branches show;

And all the winds that in any weather blow,

And all the storms that the four seasons bring.

You go no more on your exultant feet

Up paths that only mist and morning knew;

Or watch the wind, or listen to the beat

Of a bird's wings too high in air to view,-

But you were something more than young and sweet

And fair,- and the long year remembers you.

Remembering Chuck Norris (1940-2026) : "Real Men Live For Christ"

 

 

 

"Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face;
then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
(1 Corinthians 13:12 )


Beloved American actor and entertainer Chuck Norris passed away
 unexpectedly yesterday at the age of 86.   While known for his many
action movies and as the star of the TV series, "Walker Texas Ranger"
Chuck was most passionate about his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Go rest high on that mountain, Mr. Norris!

May God comfort his wife and family in this time of sorrow and loss.

 Released in March, 1973 as the lead single from the album, "Red Rose Speedway" by
 the English band Paul McCartney and Wings, the former Beatles member wrote "My Love"
for his wife and fellow band mate, Linda Eastman McCartney. Although given an unfavorable
reception by some music critics who thought the lyrics were too sentimental, the song topped
the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US  for four weeks, while peaking at Number 9 on the
UK Singles Chart. Paul McCartney's heartfelt tribute to the woman who was the love
of his life was viewed as Wings' first hit song in America and helped to make
"Red Rose Speedway" a commercial success that year.

Kindly Spring Again Is Here

 

 

"As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, 
and like the spring showers that water the earth."
(Hosea 6:3)

Kindly spring again is here,

Trees and fields in bloom appear;

hark! the birds with artless lays

Warble their Creator's praise. 


Where is winter all was snow,

Now the flowers in clusters grow;

And the corn, in green array,

Promises a harvest-day. 

 

Lord, afford a spring to me,

Let me feel like what I see;

Speak, and by Thy gracious voice,

Make my drooping soul rejoice. 

 

On Thy garden deign to smile,

Raise the plants, enrich the soil,

Soon Thy presence will restore

Life to what seemed dead before. 

 

 

"Kindly Spring Again Is Here"
(1779)
John Newton
(1725-1807) 
English evangelical Anglican clergyman and slavery abolitionist.
While serving in the British Navy, he was once captured
and held for several years in West Africa.

"By the grace of God I am what I am."
(1 Corinthians 15:10)

John Newton's Grave Memorial Epitaph

"John Newton, once an infidel and libertine, a servant of slaves in Africa, was,
by the rich mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, preserved, restored,
 pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy."
