A Sentence No Child Should Ever Have to Say

“Mom’s dead. Dad’s dead. I was shot. Because of a football game on TV.” 

If this were a television script, most viewers would turn it off.

Not because it was boring. But because it would feel so absurd, so disconnected from how human beings are supposed to behave, that it would strain credibility. People would assume the writers had lost touch with reality.

Yet this week, it was not fiction.

A man argued with his wife because she asked him to stop watching a football game. He killed her. He shot a child. Then he killed himself.

That sequence of events should not be possible in a functioning society. And yet it happened.

Now imagine the child who survived.

Imagine growing up and having to explain, at some point in life, why you are orphaned.

“One night, my mom told my dad to stop watching a football game. He killed her, shot me, and then killed himself.”

Read that sentence again.

Not because it is shocking, but because of how disproportionate it is. A trivial moment. A routine domestic annoyance. Followed by irreversible destruction.

And this is not an isolated story.

In Atlanta, an employee at a Subway restaurant was shot and killed after a customer became upset about a condiment on his sandwich. According to police, the dispute was over too much mayonnaise.

Too much mayonnaise.

In Daytona Beach, Florida, a man shot and killed his wife in front of her parents after an argument that began because he had hidden her motorcycle and refused to tell her where it was. When her parents arrived to help, he retrieved a rifle and opened fire as they tried to leave.

These are not crimes of desperation. They are not acts driven by survival or self-defense. They are explosions triggered by inconvenience, frustration, and wounded ego.

This is not about football. It is not about mayonnaise. It is not about a motorcycle.

It is about the collapse of internal limits.

For most of human history, people understood that emotions had ceilings. Anger flared, but it stopped. Conflict erupted, but it resolved. Even violence, when it existed, followed some distorted sense of proportion.

Today, something has changed.

Minor friction increasingly produces catastrophic outcomes. There is no pause. No brake. No internal voice saying, this ends here. Not even against family members.

Everything escalates. Everything becomes final.

We live in a culture that trains people to indulge impulse, validate rage, and treat emotional discomfort as an injustice. Self-control is mocked. Restraint is framed as repression. Consequences are always someone else’s fault.

And the innocent pay the price.

Not in abstract statistics. In real lives. In hospital beds. In children who will carry stories that make no sense because the culture that produced them no longer makes sense.

This is not a call for hysteria. It is a call for honesty.

Something is deeply wrong when trivial moments can detonate into annihilation. When anger has no governor. When people cannot tolerate frustration without resorting to destruction.

What’s disturbing is that we now live in a culture where a sentence like that can even exist.

There is a reason Scripture treats anger as dangerous, not merely unpleasant.

There is a verse I am constantly reminding myself of whenever anger rises: “Do not let the sun go down on your anger.” Ephesians 4:26.

God does not give that warning casually. It is an acknowledgment of how destructive unresolved anger can become if it is allowed to fester, harden, and grow overnight.

God knows the danger. He warned us of the danger. But for the casual Christian, and certainly for the unbeliever, that warning is often never learned, or never taken seriously.

Every Parent Sees It: Adults And Children Are Out Of Control And It’s Because Of Our Low-Trust Society

There’s a thin line between a stranger’s ability to intervene in a chaotic situation and the societal requirement to look the other way.

In some ways, it’s always been this way. Our country was largely built on a “mind your own business and let me run my family the way I see fit” type of attitude that, in many situations, serves us well. However, over the last twenty years, there’s been a moral and spiritual fracture that’s left us in a uniquely dangerous position, especially for the most vulnerable among us.

There’s no denying that the U.S. has morphed into a low-trust society. The natural bonds of community — which would historically have framed the question of “when to step in” not as a matter of personal preference or fear of legal ramifications, but as a matter of objective duty rooted in the moral order — have been broken. While Americans used to agree that we protect the most vulnerable among us, no matter the potential consequences, there is now hesitation.

When families, churches, neighborhoods, and communities were strong, a child facing danger would receive an instinctive response from nearby adults. In large part, it was because everyone understood that without children the community would die, which created a sense of shared responsibility. This duty has been eroded by decades of moral decay, fracturing the American identity.

Parents possess primary and non-negotiable authority over their children, granted to them by God. Still, there are situations in which the community has to step in, most importantly when the good of the child, either for safety or grave harm, is being threatened.

When a parent or adult responsible for upholding the good of a child indisputably violates their moral responsibility through clear abuse like physical violence, sexual abuse, or other means, it is now the community’s duty to intervene. If you can stop a child from being beaten in a parking lot, you must. Silence in that moment is not respecting privacy or the adult’s authority. Instead, it is complicity in evil.

And there are degrees to intervention. For example, no stranger has the right to usurp the parental authority over discipline style, tone of voice, or parenting philosophy. If you see a parent exhibiting minor rudeness or harsh words in public, like an exasperated mom yelling, shaming, or roughly grabbing her child’s arm, this rarely justifies a member of the community interfering. If the situation allows, a calm word or an offer of help may be acceptable. Otherwise, strangers must respect parental authority. The child is not in danger of anything here other than an attitude adjustment for bad behavior. Clear physical abuse when the parent goes from natural protector to predator is inherently different and requires immediate action.

These principles, which are lost today, seem like second nature to older generations because the America they grew up in held a uniform code of right and wrong that is no longer part of our current societal contract. Doors were left unlocked, neighbors borrowed tools without a signed waiver, etc., and all were a part of the sacred covenant that kept communities protected. That trust was the fruit of shared moral beliefs, grounded in a common understanding of right and wrong, reinforced by churches on every corner, schools that taught civics alongside math, reading, and science, and a cultural ethos that prized personal responsibility over perpetual victimhood.

We’ve squandered what used to be a beautiful society that promoted thriving families and community bonds. Decades of no-fault divorce, welfare statism that supplanted the extended family, and a media diet of sensationalized crime have fractured us into silos of suspicion. This erosion has been accelerated by the immigrant crisis, a policy failure of epic proportions, which had been happening for decades but ballooned under the Biden administration, forced upon Americans by threats of being accused of xenophobia. Instead of recognizing that communities thrive on familiarity, shared language, and mutual accountability, America’s heartland, where everyone knew everyone, was forced to accept millions of newcomers, many of whom, unlike immigrants in the past, are not willing to assimilate into the fabric of American culture.

No incident captures the reality of our low-trust society more starkly than the Nov. 5 shooting in Whitestown, Indiana, where 62-year-old homeowner Curt Andersen fired a fatal shot through his locked front door, killing 32-year-old María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez.

Ríos Pérez was a Guatemalan mother of four who had entered the wrong address while cleaning a nearby home. Andersen heard the alarming sounds of a possible home invasion, retrieved his gun, and shot Ríos Pérez in the head. Andersen was charged with voluntary manslaughter, a Level 2 felony carrying 10 to 30 years in prison. He claims the shooting was an act of self-defense.

While Ríos Pérez’s death is a tragedy, there are two victims in this case. In a different time, Andersen would have likely greeted Ríos Pérez with caution at the door rather than a gun. But our neglectful government, along with our decaying moral fabric, created a perfect storm that ended an innocent woman’s life and will likely see the sunset years of Andersen spent behind prison bars.

This isn’t vigilantism run wild. It’s the logical endpoint of a low-trust society, where pressures collide with a culture of hyper-vigilance. We have successfully turned community members into dangerous strangers. Ríos Pérez’s death reminds us that when communities fracture into tribes of suspicion, the most vulnerable among us, whether they are screaming toddlers or innocent cleaners, are no longer protected.

The partnership of our once harmonious American culture, where stepping in for the weak wasn’t a risk assessment but a reflex of moral duty, has dissolved, and so has our capacity for mercy. Of course, the only way back from here is to lead a societal restoration by reviving strong-knit communities that promote cultural cohesion.

A Call For International Action

A Call to New Resolve in Battle against the Iranian Mullahs

The recent ceasefire in the conflict between Iran and Israel has not brought peace to the Iranian people. Instead, it has unleashed a brutal campaign by the Islamic Republic’s theocratic regime to tighten its grip on power. The mullahs, sensing their vulnerability after widespread unrest and dissent, have launched a vicious crackdown, targeting ordinary citizens, activists, and minority groups with arrests, executions, and intimidation. Over 700 individuals have been detained across Iran in just 12 days, with hundreds more in Tehran alone, according to Iran’s Fars News Agency. Six executions on espionage charges have already occurred, and more are expected. The regime’s message is clear: dissent will be crushed at all costs. The Iranian people, yearning for freedom, cannot achieve it while being hunted and killed. The international community, particularly the United States, must act decisively to support Iranians in their struggle to dislodge the mullahs and secure a referendum for a free Iran where they can determine their government and destiny.

The Islamic Republic’s tactics are ruthless and systematic. Checkpoints have sprung up across cities like Kermanshah, Isfahan, and Khuzestan, enabling mass arrests of anyone suspected of dissent or even curiosity. A Tehran-based human rights lawyer told the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) on June 25, 2025, that many detainees at these checkpoints were simply filming out of curiosity, yet they now face fast-tracked trials in kangaroo courts without legal representation. The destruction of Evin Prison’s administrative buildings in an Israeli strike has further eroded any semblance of due process, leaving families and lawyers unable to advocate for detainees. Meanwhile, the regime’s parliament is pushing a draconian new espionage law that could impose the death penalty for acts as simple as sharing content on social media, labeling them as “spreading corruption on Earth.” This legal framework, combined with the regime’s unchecked power, is designed to terrorize the population into submission.

The targeting of specific groups reveals the regime’s desperation to eliminate all opposition. Activists, including sociologists, rappers, and professors, have been arrested without warrants, often violently. Minority communities, particularly Kurds and Baha’is, face disproportionate persecution. In Kurdish cities, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has set up checkpoints to detain individuals arbitrarily, with some families unaware of their loved ones’ fates. A Kurdish activist reported to CHRI that many are now in hiding, fearing retribution for past political or civic engagement. Baha’i citizens, long persecuted by the regime, have seen at least 20 arrests or home searches since the conflict began. Even families seeking justice for loved ones killed in prior protests are being silenced through arrests. This purge is not just a response to war – it’s a calculated effort to eradicate the seeds of rebellion that have grown since the Women, Life, Freedom protests.

The Iranian people need more than mere condemnation – they require concrete support to overthrow the mullahs and establish a government of their choice. History provides a clear lesson: without outside intervention, oppressive regimes can solidify their rule for generations. Had the United States not joined the Allies to free France in World War II, the French might still be living under Nazi control, speaking German in a world dominated by tyranny. Similarly, the Iranian people cannot remove the mullahs alone while facing state violence and repression. The global community, led by the U.S., must step up to empower them. If arming Iranian resistance groups to defend themselves against the IRGC and Basij forces is necessary, so be it. A free Iran, where citizens can vote in a referendum to determine their government, is worth the effort.

The upcoming U.S.-Iran talks offer a crucial chance to directly address the regime’s human rights abuses. The Trump administration must clearly state that the international community will not accept Tehran’s violent suppression. Hadi Ghaemi, CHRI’s executive director, warned that ignoring these abuses risks legitimizing the regime’s brutality. The U.S. should demand an immediate halt to arbitrary arrests, executions, and restrictions on internet access, which the regime uses to isolate and control its citizens. Beyond diplomacy, the U.S. and allies should consider providing resources to Iranian resistance movements, whether through funding, intelligence, or, if needed, weapons. The mullahs have demonstrated they will kill one by one to stay in power; the Iranian people need the means to fight back.

Skeptics may argue that arming Iranians risks escalating regional tensions or creating instability. But the alternative – inaction – guarantees the perpetuation of a regime that not only oppresses its people but also threatens global security through its support for terrorism and nuclear ambitions. The Iranian people have already shown their courage through protests and acts of defiance. They are not asking for charity; they are asking for the tools to secure their freedom. A referendum in a free Iran, where citizens can vote without fear of execution or imprisonment, is the only path to lasting change. The mullahs’ grip on power is weakening, but they will not fall without a fight. The U.S. and its allies must stand with the Iranian people, just as they stood with the French in their darkest hour, to ensure that freedom prevails.

The era of half-measures has ended. The Iranian regime’s crackdown is a desperate attempt to cling to power, but it also reveals its fragility. By supporting the Iranian people through diplomatic pressure, resources, or direct aid, the international community can help them seize this moment to remove the mullahs. A free Iran, led by the will of its people, isn’t just a dream; it’s a necessity for regional stability and global justice. The world cannot stand by while the mullahs kill their way to control. The Iranian people deserve the chance to shape their future, and they need our help to make it happen.

Surprisingly, I have noticed some similarity between Prince Reza Pahlavi and President Donald Trump. A successful billionaire who was content with his empire and didn’t want the hassle of becoming the President of the United States. However, it was his passion, purpose, and destiny to Make America Great Again.

Prince Pahlavi also led a comfortable life and did not need this kind of distress. But, something big, something more powerful was calling to him that he must fulfill his destiny. Although he pledged his oath to become the next in line as the Shah of Iran, he has stated that he is not seeking the crown unless and until the Iranian people decide in his favor to do so. For now, his focus is not the revival of the Pahlavi dynasty, and on numerous occasions has stated it is up to the people of Iran to decide their future form of government.

Iranian people inside and abroad have given Prince Reza Pahlavi symbolic power of attorney to lead the current revolution. “Pahlavi, you are our representative,” and “Pahlavi is our choice, the leader of our revolution,” people in every corner of Iran shouted upon his return. But there is a huge obstacle in the Western world’s derangement syndrome against Prince Pahlavi, and the West has been hobnobbing with the People’s Mujahideen of Iran, commonly known as the Mujahideen-e-Khalq or MEK, a notorious Iranian resistance Islamist Marxist group; it was once listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the United States for its alleged killing of U.S. personnel in Iran during the 1970s, and for its ties to former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Pahlavi’s mission is a transition from the present failed Islamic regime to a secular democracy as the central objective in pursuance of a Constitutional Assembly, elected by the entirety of eligible Iranian voters under the supervision of international monitors. It could be the means to usher in a new system of governance. President Trump should invite Prince Pahlavi into the while house and discuss the regime and the desire of the Iranian people for freedom and democracy.

Great opportunities don’t come every day — recognize and seize them whenever you can. If we fail to act on this golden chance now, future historians will ask: how could the entire group have seen it coming and done nothing about it? What kind of drugs were these people on?

VIDEO EXPOSÈ: Youth Sex Trafficking Cases Tripled Under ‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris

Reports of youth sex trafficking have surged threefold under “border czar” Kamala Harris. 

WATCH: Trafficking in America: Carrie’s Story

Landon Dickeson, director of Bob’s House of Hope in Denton, Texas, highlighted the horrific experiences of teens from Central and South America, many arriving in dire conditions after enduring severe abuse from traffickers. Victims often suffer brain damage from drugs, physical torture, and emotional trauma, with cartels using brutal tactics to maintain control.

Data from the Department of Health and Human Services, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, shows the agency issued 1,143 Certification and Eligibility Letters in 2021, 2,226 in 2022, and 2,148 in 2024, reflecting a significant increase compared to the 562 letters issued annually under Donald Trump.

Since October 2020, a total of 5,517 letters have been issued, averaging 1,837 per year, with child trafficking cases under Biden and Mayorkas outpacing adult cases threefold. Concerns about potential fraud have also been raised, similar to issues with the “U Visa” for crime victims, which fast-tracks young individuals toward citizenship.

U.S. Complicit in Child Trafficking Under “Border Czar” Kamala Harris

Bob Unanue

In the shadows of our nation, a grim reality persists. More than 525,000 unaccompanied alien children have fallen prey to human traffickers at our southern border, their futures sold for profit in a $150 billion-a-year industry. This inhumane trade has surged under the Biden-Harris administration which lost contact with more than 85,000 illegal migrant children released to poorly vetted adult “sponsors.”

When President Joe Biden assigned Vice President Kamala Harris in March 2021 “to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that…need help in…stemming the migration to our southern border,” many hoped her leadership would bring order to that chaotic border. Instead, Harris has treated the role as a mere formality, offering little in terms of solutions.

From the darkest corners of the internet to the streets of American communities, these innocent souls are subjected to horrors — sexual exploitationforced labor, and organ trafficking, among others. The U.S. is a top destination for child trafficking, and the Hispanic community bears the brunt of the problem. The Biden-Harris Administration’s open-border policies have allowed Hispanic children to be subjected to grueling labor and exploitation.

Here is just one tragic example. In May 2021, a Border Patrol agent apprehended 16-year-old Emilia near Yuma, Arizona, after illegally crossing the border. She was from Honduras. Under the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, she was…

Rich Men North of Richmond

Christian Virginian Christopher Anthony Lunsford, known to many as Folk Performer  Oliver Anthony  (his grandfather’s name) touched a resonant chord with at least 61 Million suffering Americans & Freedom Lovers worldwide, these past weeks *  –  all vibrating with his heartfelt lament,

Rich Men North of Richmond.

Lyrics

by  Oliver Anthony

I’ve been selling my soul,
working all day.

Overtime hours,
for bullshxx pay.

So I can sit out here,

and waste my life away,

drag back home

and drown my troubles away.

It’s a damn shame,
what the world’s gotten to,
for people like me

and people like you.

Wish I could just wake up

and it not be true.

But it is.

Oh, it is.

Living in the new world,
with an old soul.

These rich men north of Richmond,
Lord knows,

they all just want to have total control.

Want to know what you think.
Want to know what you do.

And they don’t think you know,

but I know that you do.

‘Cause your dollar ain’t shxx

and it’s taxed to no end,
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond.

I wish politicians would look out for miners
and not just minors on an island somewhere.

Lord, we got folks in the street,

ain’t got nothing to eat
and the obese milking welfare.

Well God, if you’re 5 foot 3

and you’re 300 pounds,
Taxes ought not to pay,

for your bags of fudge rounds.

Young men are putting themselves

six feet into the ground,
’cause all this damn country does,

is keep on kicking them down.

Lord, it’s a damn shame,
what the world’s gotten to,
for people like me

and people like you.

Wish I could just wake up

and it not be true.

But it is,

Oh, it is.

Living in the new world
with an old soul.

These rich men north of Richmond,
Lord knows,

they all just want to have total control.

Want to know what you think.

Want to know what you do.

And they don’t think you know,

but I know that you do.

‘Cause your dollar ain’t shxx

and it’s taxed to no end,
’cause of rich men north of Richmond.

I’ve been selling my soul
working all day.

Overtime hours,
for bullshxx pay.

 

WATCHOliver Anthony – Rich Men North of Richmond (Fan Edit Music Video)

 

During a recent performance, at  Morris Farm  in the little town of Barco  –  just a few miles north from where the Wright Brothers first achieved powered flight 120 years ago on North Carolina’s Outer Banks  –  Chris opened with a reading from the Book of Psalms, at Psalm 37, coming straight to the point,

 

12.  The wicked plotteth against the just,

        and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13.  The Lord shall laugh at him:

        for he seeth that his day is coming.

14.  The wicked have drawn out the sword,

        and have bent their bow,

        to cast down the poor and needy,

        and to slay such

        as be of upright conversation.

15.  Their sword shall enter into their own heart,

        and their bows shall be broken.

16.  A little that a righteous man hath

        is better than

        the riches of many wicked.

17.  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:

        but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

18.  The LORD knoweth the days of the upright

        and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19.  They shall not be ashamed in the evil time:

        and in the days of famine

        they shall be satisfied.

20.  But the wicked shall perish,

        and the enemies of the LORD

        shall be as the fat of lambs:

        they shall consume;

        into smoke

        shall they consume away.

 

Clearly, young Americans like Chris Lunsford, already intuit & pivot from the last century and more of Anglo-Banker Kommunist, Kritical Theory, Divide & Konquer Societal Dekonstruktion and Indoktrination of the old & the new world.  For in fact,

Twas ever thus.

We read in Proverbs 1  –  set down by the wisest man to ever live, King Solomon, some 3,000 years ago,

 

1.   The proverbs of Solomon the son of David,

       king of Israel;

2.   To know wisdom and instruction;

       to perceive the words of understanding;

3.   To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice,

       and judgment, and equity;

4.   To give subtilty to the simple,

       to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5.   A wise man will hear,

      and will increase learning;

      and a man of understanding

      shall attain unto wise counsels:

6.   To understand a proverb,

       and the interpretation;

       the words of the wise,

       and their dark sayings.

7.   The fear of the LORD

       is the beginning of knowledge:

       but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

8.   My son, hear the instruction of thy father,

       and forsake not the law of thy mother:

9.   For they shall be an ornament of grace

       unto thy head,

       and chains about thy neck.

10. My son, if sinners entice thee,

      consent thou not.

11. If they say,

      Come with us,

      let us lay wait for blood,

      let us lurk privily for the innocent

      without cause:

12. Let us swallow them up alive as the grave;

      and whole,

      as those that go down into the pit:

13. We shall find all precious substance,

      we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14. Cast in thy lot among us;

      let us all have one purse:

15. My son, walk not thou in the way with them;

      refrain thy foot from their path:

16. For their feet run to evil,

      and make haste to shed blood.

17. Surely in vain

      the net is spread

      in the sight of any bird.

18. And they lay wait

      for their own blood;

      they lurk privily

      for their own lives.

 

Brother Lunsford’s songs are as nourishing now to humble souls of God-fearing American Patriots, as doubtless divine services had been then  –  160 years ago  –  ‘mongst the twinkling watch fires of his Fasting & Prayerful Forefathers, encamped in martial array, between Richmond & the Rich Men to the North, while upholding Christian Liberty on the American Continent.

Should the Lord tarry in His Glorious Return, one perceives events in the offing, in continuing American Defense of Christ’s Liberty on this Earth.

 

A Prayer by General Lee

General OrdersNo. 83

13 August 1863

The President of the Confederate States has, in the name of the people, appointed the 21st of August as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. 

A strict observance of the day is enjoined upon the officers and soldiers of this army. 

All military duties, except such as are absolutely necessary, will be suspended.  The commanding officers of brigades and regiments are requested to cause divine services, suitable to the occasion, to be performed in their respective commands.

Soldiers!  We have sinned against Almighty God. 

We have forgotten his signal mercies, and have cultivated a revengeful, haughty, and boastful spirit.  We have not remembered that defenders of a just cause should be pure in his eyes;  that “our times are in his hand” and we have relied too much on our own arms for the achievement of our independence. 

God is our only refuge and our strength.

Let us humble ourselves before him. 

Let us confess our many sins, and beseech him to give us a higher courage, a purer patriotism and more determined will:  that he will convert the hearts of our enemies:  that he will hasten the time when war, with its sorrows and sufferings, shall cease, and that he will give us a name and place among the nations of the earth.

R. E. Lee, General

Unprecedented events, like the 4.7 Million Americans arriving in Washington, DC on January 6th of 2021, at the request of their duly re-elected President Trump to Secure Their Election with Parade of Their Numbers, or the 96 mile long ‘Trump Train’ on Arizona’s freeways prior to the 2020 Election & the simultaneous 30 mile long Trump Train on the I-15 Southbound Lanes in Riverside County, California, likewise witnessed by your present correspondent, or the tens of thousands of vessels involved in many ‘Trump Flotillas’ across the country, or the tens of millions of Americans attending the Trump Rallies yet ongoing, or the documented paltry mere hundreds, including paid stooges, in evidence at Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden political occasions…all sharply burst a facile, sortied YT Globalist Propaganda Balloon, like so many pin pricks  –  giving the lie to an obscene fiction of the death of American Christian Patriotism.

The Constitutional enforcement of Christ’s Liberty in America  will ultimately have quite dire consequences for such outlaw pernicious prevaricators  –  and in their Godless delusions, deep down …they know it.

The Perils of Cash

People have been asking me as of late about holding cash, at least those that are reading the writing on the wall. Besides the fact that there is a war on cash and a cashless society coming soon,  there are other reasons as to the perils of cash. With the talk of a global financial reset, coupled with the stock market gyrations and the unsustainable debt, many people have gone to cash. It used to be known as “cash is king”. Well today, I say “cash is trash”. So what are the perils of holding an excessive amount of cash?

Perils of Cash

Low Interest:  Cash and cash equivalent accounts these days are paying perhaps about 1%-2% at best, often times less than that. If you are not keeping pace with the real rate of inflation, you are falling behind in purchasing power and may run out of money down the line.

Inflation: The government reports the inflation rate today to be at around 2%, but like the unemployment numbers, this is not really the case upon further inspection. You see back in the days of Bill Clinton, changes were made to just how it is that the government reports the inflation rate to the American people. It is known as the Boskin Commission. The Boskin Commission, formally called the “Advisory Commission to Study the Consumer Price Index”, was appointed by the United States Senate in 1995 to study possible bias in the computation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is used to measure inflation in the United States. How To Rewrite Economic History? Here’s how.

The real rate of inflation as reported by Kirk Elliott, PhD, is at 6.12% today. Based upon Trump’s weak dollar policy and the Fed’s raising of interest rates, we can expect inflation to be on the rise. Interest rate cycles run 28 years on average. We just finished a 30-year declining interest rate environment and as of November 2016, we have embarked upon a rising interest rate cycle. So cash for now is trash. Hold some in the bank and perhaps some at home for emergencies and opportunities.

Global Financial Reset: What exactly is being reset? The debt is being reset and the value of the dollar will decline over time until sound money is restored. Easier said than done. Stay tuned. So once again excess cash may not be wise at this particular time in history. President Trump is now taking on the Federal Reserve, Rothschild World Banking Dynasty and the IMF as a move to restore sound money in order to MAGA. We will more than likely see a gold backed currency. So, buy gold (and silver). There is a reason you hear and use the expression, “it’s as good as gold”, own some. The signs are there indicating the reset is in motion. President Trump takes on the Fed.

Bank Bail-In: We learned all about the bank bail out in 2008-2009. How about the bank bail-in? A bail-inand a bailout are both designed to prevent the complete collapse of a failing bank. With a bank bail-in, the bank uses the money of its unsecured creditors, including depositors and bondholders, to restructure their capital so it can stay afloat. How much of your funds do you want caught in the bail-in? Again, right now cash is trash. Oh yeah, FDIC barely covers a fraction of the trillions on deposit. Take note. So what to do?

GOOTS

Get Out of the System: Well you cant really get out of the system unless you leave the planet. But there are alternative asset classes to consider in this paradigm shift of global economic and monetary policy to consider. I have a proprietary model which is truly a paradigm shift in thinking offering a new sound, superior, proactive approach to protecting and preserving wealth, utilizing both alternative paper assets as well as tangible assets. Follow the trend. The trend is your friend. The goal as wise and prudent investors is to identify and minimize risks and maximize returns keeping pace with inflation.

Does Wall Street have Main Street’s best interest in mind? I think we know the answer to this. While so many others will continue to operate in the deceitful and flawed modalities being advised by an industry they no longer trust. A great change is now upon us. The time for action is now. Better a day early than a day late. Request a copy of the Global Financial Reset Report here. To be continued…

Relax Trump Has the Goods

I will keep this commentary and analysis brief and I encourage you to embark upon perhaps some additional research and sources on your own. Many people I meet with as I presently speak throughout  the state of Florida to Republican groups and patriot groups supportive of President Trump, seem to feel we are not winning. Well we are. Besides the obvious incredible accomplishments by our amazing President, we  must come to understand that the many criminal democrats, the shadow government and the deep state, are in fact shaking in their shorts. They are on the run as Trump narrows in on them laying cheese in mouse traps planted all over the place and soon, very soon, they shall be caught. Trump’s 3 D chess will eventually lead to the ultimate check mate. The deep state is on the run, relax, Trump has the goods. Can you say FISA docs?

Relax Trump Has the Goods

Some believe that Q (QANON) is a conspiracy. I for one do not believe that President Trump would have called attention to Q at the Tampa rally (of which I attended), if it were conspiracy. And the fact that the very next day CNN and the rest of the MSM controlled purveyors of propaganda and lies, claimed Q to be a conspiracy, which tells you it probably isn’t.  So I encourage you to go to YouTube and explore the world of Q, QANON. And if Q is not “your thing”, then tune into former high lever CIA officer, Kevin Shipp. Listen to what former CIA intel officer Robert David Steele has to say about the arrests and indictments that are taking place as I write.

You see my friends, there are well over 63,000 sealed indictments ready to go against the Deep State and its many operatives that span across this globe. There is a plan. Come to know it, as it is unfolding before our very eyes its just that perhaps you may be looking in the wrong direction. Explore the many articles on this website and the scores of links I have provided. You too will begin to connect the dots. Read this post please which is based upon two executive orders  titled, “Martial Law and Military Tribunals – Trump Takes on the Deep State”.  Then listen to this spot on analysis by Mike Adams. Stay safe. Spread the word. Fight the fight. Stay the course, and God Bless.

“Mayday” fits Christ’s 7-Fold Warning for Huge Geopolitical Events in Mid-May

A CIA expert has damning evidence of impeachable crimes by Obama, Clinton and others that are expected to precipitate a man-made calamity and martial law to maintain control warning of impending loss if we aren’t ready for a crisis and chaos in America.  The CIA expert interview on TruNews.com is linked below.

Christ’s 7-fold warning of sudden events that come as a thief appear to fit what could be reality, reminding us also of “sudden destruction” coming as a thief in 1 Thessalonians 5:3. Christ even said He would come as a thief if we don’t watch. Rev 3:3.

This is an invisible coming in judgment as clued by His seven examples prior to His visible return in Matthew 25:31. The cost of being prepared is not large; failure on these points could mean huge loss.

  1. We could be hungry when the fig tree withers (Matthew 24:32), even as Christ was hungry when He looked for food, Matt 21:19. His warning included “when summer is nigh”–summer is nigh in May. The fig tree parable was about the Jewish nation then, but it applies to the “Christian” nation now that aborts its unborn, and approves perverted marriages “as in the days of Lot [Sodom],” Luke 17:28.
  2. We could lose family or friends in the sudden destruction (1Thess 5:1-6), even “as in the days of Noah….[when] the Flood came and took them all away,” Matthew 24:37. The ark was big enough for all who wanted to enter. After the animals came in pairs to enter, many may have wanted to go in, but fear of being laughed at or looking stupid stopped them. Crazy may be ok!
  3. We could lose our freedom when “one shall be taken [to a FEMA camp?], and the other left,” Matt 24:40. An “Emergency Police State” can come easily with a man-made disaster like the earthquakes that destroyed Fukushima and Haita. If you don’t understand how those were man-made, type “HAARP, Ventura” into YouTube.
  4. We could have our house broken by the thief’s coming, (Matt 24:43) because we don’t know when to “watch” (or what it means); similar reference by the apostle Paul in 1Thessalonians 5.
  5. We could lose our comfort as “the evil servant begins to smite his fellow servants.” Matt 24:48. Islam teaches eradication of infidels to be ready for the Madi. Revelation 9:7,8 describes “faces like men (beards) and hair like women (long hair). This may seem remote, but there are many areas in the U.S. where Sharia Law is making headway.
  6. We could lose our destiny as the foolish women who weren’t ready in Matt 25:6. Using the Rule of 1st Use [where a word or phrase is 1st found in the Bible, it often has a meaning or context to consider for end-times because Christ is he Word…”the First and the Last,” Rev 1:11 so the cry at midnight in Matt 25:6 is understood from the midnight cry in Egypt at Passover, Exod 12:29. If we doubt the history of the Exodus, we can type “chariot wheels, Red Sea” into YouTube.
  7. We could lose our money as the slothful servant who wasn’t prepared for his lord’s return in Matt 25:26. Many warn us of impending bank failures. There is low risk to taking our money out of the bank when we might lose it if something huge happens.

Each of the above examples fit with the execution of judgment on a deserving nation or persons, but we forget the biblical time to execute judgment was Passover, Exodus 12:12. Several of the clues point to 2nd Passover, a provision in the biblical law for Passover in May, Numbers 9:10,11.

Examples 6 and 7 above are punctuated by Christ’s saying again, “Watch…for the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country.” Matt 25:14.  After winter, Israelites traveled in the spring, but if they couldn’t get back for Passover, the law [in effect till heaven and earth passes Matt 5:18] specified  Passover the 2nd spring month (May) as a time.

be awake smallPassover was a time when animal sacrifices were fulfilled by Christ, proclaimed as “the Lamb of God” by a Jewish prophet, John 1:29. But while Passover is no longer a time for animal sacrifices that prefigure judgment, it is still a time to “watch and pray” that God will pass over us in judgment.

Watch is translated from the Greek word, gregoreo, meaning to be awake. We can’t be awake every night, but Passover was the only time it was commanded of all, Exodus 12:10, Matt 26:38-41.

Wednesday evening, May 14/15 is the night that most churches have a prayer meeting. It would be wonderful if churches world-wide would understand the issues, to watch (be awake) and pray that God will pass over them as they seek biblical answers to what is impending.

I believe readers should hear the interview by TruNews’ Chuck Wiles of the CIA expert to understand that America as we’ve known it, is gone, and civil war may be impending.

Sarasota County, FL School Board loves Common Core

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The School Board of Sarasota County is pushing for the extension of a 1 mill tax on all county property holders on March 25th. They are using school funds to lobby in favor of and promote the 1 mill tax. Has anyone asked if this is legal?

According to their official Report on the Uses of Referendum Funds since 2002, “This vote allows the District to maintain existing programs, provide additional programs and continue the District’s commitment to quality education.” But is the District really committed to a “quality education”?

Scott Ferguson, Communications Specialist Sarasota County Schools, states in an email:

The Sarasota County School District has been implementing the Common Core Standards per Florida Department of Education requirements and timetable. We are in full implementation in grades K-2. The current 2013-14 school year is a “blended year” for grades 3-12 (a combination of Common Core and the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards). Full implementation is scheduled for all grades for the 2014-15 school year. Again, this is all according to the state schedule and requirements.

As you may be aware, the Florida Board of Education is considering adopting some changes to the Common Core Standards, including changes in handwriting and math standards. If adopted, the proposed revised standards will likely be referred to as the Florida Standards, since they will depart from the Common Core Standards in these and other areas.

What Ferguson does not say is that the District can opt-out of Common Core, as did thirty school districts in New York. Parents, teachers, educators and concerned citizens see Common Core as anything but a “quality education.”

Terrence O. Moore, an assistant professor of history at Hillsdale College, states, “The Common Core Standards control the testing and curriculum of public schools and a large number of private schools in over forty states in the nation. Sold to the public as a needed reform, the Common Core nationalizes absurdity, superficiality, and political bias in the American classroom. As a result, the great stories of a great nation are at risk, along with the minds and souls of our children.”

Brenda Pastoric in an op-ed titled “The Price of Human Capital” states:

The new business relationship our leaders of Sarasota schools are now promoting CRADLE TO CAREER sounds very promising for the uninformed public and unsuspecting parents, especially in today’s stagnant workforce climate. While we can agree that not every child is college bound, students will lead productive lives either through our excellent vocational education, ROTC, the Military Academy, Booker’s Visual Arts programs and others omitted here. But when “focus groups” such as the Chamber of Commerce and public-private partnerships are created and the “right people” like the CEO of Sun Hydraulics’ speaks of a “formula” and all are “collaborating” with our school officials who state they cannot “do it alone” and looking at “talent” in the fifth grade through data mining, we should be alarmed.

This early, progressive and socialistic labeling from all fronts is not a new phenomenon. History teaches us that mining for human capital by governments or government-corporate partnerships have been a hallmark for some of the most repressive societies. With unfunded mandates to states, during President Bill Clinton’s 1994 School-To-Work act, federal controls and performance-based education were implemented in local schools at the earliest possible age for every American worker to choose careers by Workforce Development Boards, formed to study which labor skills were needed in each state to determine “human resources” training requirements. Then we saw President Bush with “No Child Left Behind” and his 2001 Executive Order “21st Century Workforce Initiative”.

It’s time to wake up as the 1% surtax referendum draws near, and elected officials and parents call for more $, we may be subsidizing the human capital for government and corporations with our children.

Early voting on the 1 mill referendum began on March 10th. Perhaps voters should consider if they want their tax dollars supporting the implementation of Common Core in Sarasota County public Schools.

I Now Pronounce You Man and Wives

The Family Research Council reports:

Turns out, marriage isn’t about two people who love each other — it’s about three or five or six. That was Judge Clark Waddoups’s opinion in the most explosive ruling the media isn’t talking about. Late last week, the U.S. District Judge’s ruling should have kicked off the evening news in every major market across America. Instead, his 91-page pro-polygamy bombshell is nothing but a back-page blip. And that’s no accident. When Waddoups struck down Utah’s criminal ban on “plural marriages” last Friday, the networks started tiptoeing around the story like the cultural grenade it is.

Like us, they know the Left’s dirty little secret — that people who support same-sex “marriage” are saying “I do” to a lot more than they bargained for. While liberals insist that same-sex “marriage” is the ultimate goal, their demands only lay the groundwork for other relationships to demand the same entitlements. Once the courts and policy makers depart from the natural definition of marriage, the Left has a legal foundation for any arrangement between consenting adults.

Judge Waddoups essentially admitted as much. Despite the fact that the Supreme Court outlawed polygamy years ago, Waddoups insists that he can’t possibly rest on that decision in modern society. In his words, America has “developed constitutional jurisprudence that now protects individuals from the criminal consequences intended by legislatures to apply to certain personal choices.”

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act this summer only sped the process along. Polygamists popped the corked on a little champagne of their own after the June ruling, as they wait their turn for nationwide acceptance. “We’re very happy with [the ruling on DOMA]” said Joe Darger, a Utah polygamist, “I think [the court] has taken a step in correcting some inequality, and that’s certainly something that’s going to trickle down and impact us… I think the government needs to now recognize that we have a right to live free as much as anyone else.” Proponents of polygamy are riding the homosexual movement’s wave of success all the way to legitimacy.

And that’s exactly what the mainstream media is afraid of. They see the potential for this debate to sway the middle and derail the same-sex “marriage” train. Recognizing that their destinies are very much intertwined, polygamists are using the same playbook as their same-sex “marriage” counterparts: Step one: overturn the law. Step two: demand recognition. Step three: force acceptance.

Ten years ago, Justice Antonin Scalia predicted exactly that in Lawrence v. Texas, the Supreme Court decision rolling back sodomy statutes. With prophetic insight, he pointed to the threat to state laws “based on moral choices” against “bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution… adultery, fornication, bestiality, and obscenity.” Anyone being intellectually honest knew this was where liberals were pushing America. Of course, the media for years laughed off groups like FRC who warned that the Left’s goal isn’t same-sex “marriage” but any kind of marriage.

Just this year, extremists like Jillian Keenan did conservatives a favor by owning up to the fact that homosexual “marriage” is just the warm-up act to an even more shocking agenda. “Let’s not forget that the fight doesn’t end with same-sex marriage,” she wrote in a column for Slate. “We need to legalize polygamy too. Legalized polygamy in the United States is the constitutional, feminist, and sex-positive choice. More importantly, it would actually help protect, empower, and strengthen women, children, and families.”

That wasn’t a typo. Keenan actually argues for polygamy — a practice that degrades and devalues the role of women — as the feminist alternative. And the Left wants to accuse conservatives of a war on women? Legalizing polygamy would undermine the Left’s banner cause — equality — and turn back the clock on women’s rights that has become the standard of Western Civilization.

Shows like “Sister Wives” may make people sympathetic. It may even help break down inhibitions (as evidenced in Gallup’s poll). But once Americans start to realize the practical implications of these parallel movements — for their school curriculum, tax dollars, and free speech rights — the public debate will only intensify. Despite the media’s silence and homosexual activists’ increasing campaign of intimidation, the American people may have finally found the inspiration to push back against the forces trying to redefine marriage. It’s never too late to change course — and this decision may have finally given the nation a reason to try.
