Greed Power and Stupidity
I think it appropriate to send the year 2023 out with a bang. You might even call it shooting from the hip. All I see on the two cable news networks are opposites of the same coin. Each side claiming the political pros and cons of one party or the other and neither addresses the real problem plaguing America. It’s like a commercial that touts symptom relief with a whole list of side effects, but not able to cure the problem causing the symptoms. In a nutshell it’s exactly like Planned Parenthood calling for medical care for all, just take this pill or have this procedure and everything will be all right. Where’s the care medical care for the unborn aborted baby?
In the news today are three main stories that seem to be the most important in American politics – Israel defending itself from Hamas (mostly peaceful) terrorists, banning Trump from running for President and the invasion of American soil by a never ending flow of illegal, undocumented aliens into our country.
On October 6th 2023 Hamas began an unprovoked aerial bombardment of Israel indiscriminately killing innocent civilians and destroying property. The world watched in horror but initially did little except to chastise Israel for counterattacking. Now the UN is sending aid to Gaza, while it is Israel that is protecting civilian refugees in Gaza from Hamas attacks. It is considered horrible for Israel to cause accidental deaths during those attacks, but nothing is said about Hamas’s activities, which include using places like hospitals and schools to set up their command centers and missile launch facilities to facilitate attacks on Israel.
On January 6th 2021 terrorists launched an assault on the United States Legislature causing interference in the US Presidential Election of 2020 and we were led to believe that President Trump led the charge (he didn’t). Evidence shows that those violent terrorists may have been undercover law enforcement officers of the FBI with political leanings (never Trumpers) against President Trump. If true they were in fact the insurrectionists they claimed MAGA folks (families with children) who came to watch the Electoral College process in action were. That being said, how many of those “undercover LEOs” have been identified, hunted down, arrested or held accountable for their actions on January 6th? NADA – ZERO – ZILCH!
On January 20th 2021 President Biden opened the flood border to immigrants claiming all were refugees and must be allowed to come in. Many were given preferential treatment, food, phones, money and transportation to undisclosed interior locations in predominantly red cities and states where there is now an immigration court backlog of more than3M awaiting inside the country to see an immigration judge. During December 2023 there have so far been more than 250T migrants crossing into the US, with 5000+ more convoying toward our southern border, unobstructed through Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and several Central and South American countries and elsewhere around the world. A recent Biden Administration meeting with the President of Mexico ended with NO VIABLE SOLUTION to stop the flow. Have they not thought to SHUT DOWN THE BORDER (ours and theirs)!
So what is the real problem in America?
Is it uninformed Americans who simply don’t care, unless it hits home? Maybe it’s voters who think their party is great and the other party is bad – ALWAYS? We live in a world where GOD is no longer welcome, his rules are outdated and the people he created think they are smarter than Him.
The real problem is US! We see but don’t believe; we listen but don’t hear; we know but don’t do what God has commanded – Love God with all of our hearts, minds, souls and spirits and love our neighbor as we love ourselves and when it is within our power we are to live at peace with all people. – RTM
