As I said in last week blog, part 1 of Be a Voice, We all have a voice. The least likely person can be a voice for the people. Someone you wouldn’t give the time of day to; because you think “no way are they speaking for us, the American people. 

    In this blog, I will discuss my favorite Bible verse, Isaiah 6:8 and intwine it in this blog to make my point to having a voice and using it. 

    Isaiah 6:8 said, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!.” 

    The first time I read this verse was before I accepted the Lord. I heard it from televangelist Dwight Thompson. It was his key verse he used in his ministry.

    Let’s take a closer look at this verse by looking at first verse 5; which read, ” Woe to me! I cried. I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips.”

    It goes to show that the Lord can and will used anyone He so chooses. It doesn’t matter what’s in our past or the flaws in our lives. Look at Moses for example: He had a speech impediment and an anger problem when God asked him to go back to Egypt to lead His people out of slavery and into the Promised Land. Even though he was a Israelite, he was raised by the Egyptian. He didn’t like seeing his brothers being abused, so he killed an Egyptian soldier and was soon banished from Egypt. His own people were scared of him and didn’t fully trust him. They didn’t see him as one of their own. 

   He even admitted that he has a speech impediment. Yet God was able to used him with the help of his brother, Aaron. 

    Let’s look at verse 6 and 7 now. Verse 6, “Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.” Verse 7, “With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sins atone for.” 

    I’m just a common working man with not much education and also have a speech impediment as well; but I’m given the ability and the voice to speak out against injustice in the world. I’m not that intelligent to actually fixed what needs fixing but I damn sure know what needs to be done to make America great again. 

   I can do this through my blog. This is my voice to the American people and the world. I’m full of opinions and I have a voice. I just have to be willing to used my voice to speak up. I’m no politician or holds a white collar job. I just have a little common sense and was raise right to know the difference from right or wrong. 

   Some may not like hearing my brass opinions and wants to shut me down on my job because I tell it like it is. They don’t want to hear it. They tell me that I better be nice and hold my tongue. Do you know how hard that is? 

    The same way, parents who spoke out against the school board for what the schools are teaching their children, they were called, “Domestic Terrorist,” and put on terrorist watch by the FBI and Joe Biden. 

   If my blog was bigger, I would have a bigger voice; then I too would be on the “Domestic Terrorist” watch. 

   United States were founded as a free country where we have the freedom to speak our mind and speak out against the Government. Those in Washington don’t like it. They want to be able to control what we say or write, if it’s don’t agree with them. 

   Anyone who makes a statement against them, they try to shut down and shut them up. Both Donald Trump and Bobby Kennedy Jr. are just 2 examples. 

   Yet at the same time, there are people who cannot believe it’s possible that Trump is a voice for the American people, much the same way the Israelite couldn’t believe that Moses was the one to lead them out of Egypt. He was seen as one of the 1% and part of the problems.

   And with Bobby Kennedy Jr., they called him the Anti-vaxxer, and sees him as being crazy. Some of his own family members don’t want anything to do with him. 

    We all have a voice. It doesn’t matter who we are. We just have to be able to use our voice to speak out. We have to let our voice be heard loud and clear. They may try to shut us up; but we cannot let them shut us down. 

    One person cannot fight city hall alone. We just have to have someone who is willing to fight and lead the people. 

    I will used what the good Lord had given me to continue speaking out for the American people. It’s our God-given freedom. 

   To all my followers out there, hear my voice and get out there and make a difference. Let them know that we are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. Do what you can to send a message to our government in Washington. Let your voice be heard loud and clear. 

   You don’t have to like Trump. You just have to hate what they are doing to our freedom. 

   I will conclude this 3-part series next week, with having a voice despite having issues. Nobody’s perfect! As my mother would say, “if we were perfect, we would be in heaven instead hell on earth.”

   What does it matter whether we call someone who breaks the law to enter the country an “illegal alien” or an “undocumented immigrant”? What’s the difference between a Christmas tree and a “holiday tree”? Doesn’t global warming pose the same threat to our civilization regardless of whether or not we rename it “climate change” or more recently, “the climate crisis”? Why quibble over semantics?

    When people describe a distinction as “just semantics,” they mean to dismiss it as trivial. But how many of those people know what the word “semantics” means? 

    Political correctness is like a man attempting to give himself a nickname. Political correctness does not merely mask the harsh realities to which clear language refers; it actually contradicts the underlying meaning of words, thrusting culture through the looking glass.

   As you can tell from my blog, I’m not political correct. I give the people what they want to whether they like it or not. 

    Some defenders of political correctness have admitted that they use language to manipulate reality, but they maintain that their conservative opponents do the very same. 

    Sometimes, I can get myself into trouble because I’m not afraid to tell it like it is. Some people are easily offended by what I say. Some may not like what I say because I pull no punches. I will not sugarcoat the truth for anybody, If you are offended, that’s your problem; so cry me a river.

   Traditionally, our society has frowned on lying. We have believed that “the truth shall make you free.” Yet in this political correctness society we live in, they consider the truth destructive and lies compassionate. If words can define reality, it isn’t even lying at all.

   Who cares if you call a poor black man “black” or “African-American” when neither moniker will help him to escape generational poverty?

    For the politically correct, conservative speech is violence, and leftist violence is speech. Sounds like the book, “1984” doesn’t it? 

    Conservative reacted, as they always have in the face of politically correct aggression, by doubling down on their support for “free speech.” They opposed all forms of “censorship” and to the leftist “snowflakes” who seek safe spaces from harsh realities by refusing to engage in the marketplace of ideas. 

   James Madison described this system as: What is government itself but the greatest of all reflection on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. 

   Donald Trump is like liver and onion. You either like or you hate him. He has been a voice to the American people against our corrupt government in Washington from those on the Left to the Rhino Republicans. But because of who he is and his tactic they finds him offensive and to some a joke. They cannot fathom him to be the one to take on the system. They cannot take him seriously because some sees him as part of the system that they hate. 

    It goes to show that God can use anyone to be a voice for the people. Some you may not approve of or even believe. You too can be a voice! 

   In this blog and the next 2 weeks blog as well, I will so how anyone can be a voice. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what is in your past. May I be a voice for the American people with my blog. I will continue speaking out against the injustice of our corrupted government and against political correctness. If you are offended by what I say in person or in my blog, cry me a river. I’ll tell like it is! Take it or leave it!! Stay tune for part 2 of this series on “Be a Voice” next week. 

   Recently, George Santo was expelled from Congress for lying to his contingent in New York. I’m not defending him, but rather to say, “why him and not others?” They all have lied in Washington in one way or another. Shouldn’t they all be expelled as well? 

   Besides, isn’t up to the voters of New York to decide his fate? They all voted for him. They bought into his lies. 

    Then again, the mainstream news media is as much too blame. If they would do their job of actually reporting the news, the full story, the outcome would have been much different. Let’s take a look closer at this: They had such hatred for Trump that they couldn’t see straight. They refused to see the facts about Joe Biden, when it was right in front of them. They would factcheck anyone over Joe and Hunter Biden just to keep the truth from getting out. If the American people knew the truth, the 2020 election would had a much different result. 

   About the same the time as George Santo was being expelled from Congress, Senator Robert Menendez from New Jersey and a Democrat was charged with accepting bribes, including cash, gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz in exchange for political favors. He was also charged with conspiring to act as an agent of Egypt while serving as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. 

    Shouldn’t he be expelled also or is it just one-sided in Washington? Only the Democrats can lie and get away with it; while the Republicans are runs through the ringers. I mean, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. They should be treated equally in the eyes of the law; but they are not. 

   In this blog, I will name a few others who have lied to the American public. But first, it’s up to the American people to decide who to vote for. Just like it’s the news media job to actually give the American people the whole facts and not be partial. Before you vote, check the facts to make the right decision. What does their action speaks? Does it speak for them or are they talking out of both side of their mouth? 

    Here are some lies told by some of them: The first President George Washington said, “I did not cut down the cherry tree.” Actually, we don’t know if that was a lie or not but it’s a good example. Was he telling the truth or was he lying and the axe used to cut down the cherry tree on the ground next to him? 

   North Dakota former Senator, Kent Conrad lied to the people of North Dakota when he said, ” I will not seek reelection for Senator.” By doing that, it gave Byron Dorgan permission to seek the run to become North Dakota Senator. They were buddies! When Quentin Burdick passed away that same year, what did Kent Conrad do? He ran for reelection. He tried to spin it by saying, “It’s not reelection, it’s just running for Burdick’s seat.” It’s still reelection, I don’t care how he may spin it. 

    The only reason Kent Conrad was elected in the first place was because of the scandal involving Senator Mark Andrew of him suing the old St. Luke’s hospital in Fargo. To some people that was more of a no-no than what Kent Conrad did. Or was it the fact that Mark Andrew was a Republican and Kent Conrad was a Democrat? 

    When the first George Bush ran for reelection, his slogan was, “Read my lips-no new taxes.” What was he trying to prove there? When someone says, read my lips or look into my eyes; they are hoping that people will see the truth in the lips or the eyes. The eyes hold the truth supposedly. A person who is a good liar can lie through their teeth. Some people can talk out of both side of their mouth and make people believe it. Usually the best liars will get elected. We are gullible enough to believe the lies being told to us. 

    One of the most famous liars and lie is from President Bill Clinton. He was lying to everyone when he said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” Who was he trying to fool? We all know the outcome with that. Yet, he felt that since it was oral sex, it wasn’t sexual relation. 

    Even Hillary Clinton was in hot water when she was questioned over Benghazi. She made the comment, “What difference does it make?” She was hiding the truth from coming out just hoping she would get elected President. 

    Al Gore, himself, lied when he said, “I invented the internet.” 

    Back to Joe Biden, he lied and is still lying when the facts came out involving his involvement with Hunter Biden’s illegal business dealings. Joe Biden said, “I have nothing to do with my son’s business.” When it has been proven that he had received money into his bank account from Hunter’s illegal business with China and Ukraine. Joe Biden even said, “My son, Hunter, is a good boy.” Then again all parents have to say that about their kids. 

    The list is numerous. In other words, I could go on and on, but I think you get the message. Not just George Santo lied, but everyone of them in Washington had lied one way or another. He shouldn’t had been the only one expelled. It should also be up to the American people to make the right decision. They also needs all the facts given to them from the news media. They need the whole story and not what the news media choose to tell the American people. 

   As my mother would say, “You can go to hell for lying as you can for anything else.” 

     There is only one question which really matters: why do bad things happen to good people? 

     As my grandmother Heger would say, “The Lord will never gives you more than what you can handle.” 

     The misfortunes of good people are not only a problem to the people who suffer and to their families. They are a problem to everyone who wants to believe in a just, fair, and livable world. 

    Years ago, when I was working at Concordia, I believed the reason I lost my job was because of my bragging of doing pretty well at the time. I believe that the Lord hated when we bragged about ourselves or think too highly of ourselves. We are not to boast; but rather be remain humble. 

    We may not often find ourselves wondering, “why do totally unselfish people suffer, people who never do anything wrong?” But we often find ourselves asking why ordinary people, nice friendly neighbors, neither extraordinary good or extraordinary bad should suddenly have to face the agony of pain and tragedy. 

    The big question is: why do the good die young? I mean, my sister, Barb, who I would considered to be a saint, was taken from the family much too young due to cancer. She was the first to die in my immediate family back in 2001, when she lost her battle with cancer. She was only in her 40’s. She never smoked or barely drank if any. 

    One of the ways in which people have tried to make sense of the world’s suffering in every generation has been by assuming that we deserve what we get, that somehow our misfortunes come as punishment for our sins. 

    Job’s wife and friends told him to curse God and die when he was going through hell. With friends like that who needs enemies? 

     The idea that God gives people what they deserve, that our misdeeds cause our misfortune, is neat and attractive solution to the problem of evil. It only creates guilt everywhere there is no basis for. It makes people hate God, even makes them to hate themselves. 

    Sometimes we try to make sense of life’s trials by saying that people do in fact get what they deserve. 

     Could it be that God does not cause the bad things that happen to us? 

     What kind of religion is the story urging on us, which delight in blind obedience and calls it sinful to protest against injustice? 

    Yet, there are fanatical religious figures who would beat themselves up because of their disobedience. 

    Remember, nobody is perfect. How can God be a loving God if He is constantly spying on His people, ready to pounce on any imperfection? 

    We see this in psychology at work elsewhere, blaming the victim so that evil doesn’t seem quite so irrational and threatening. If the Jews had behaved differently, Hitler would not have been driven to murder them. If the young woman had not been so provocatively dressed, she wouldn’t had been raped. If the people worked harder, they would not be poor. If society did not taunt poor people by advertising things they cannot afford, they would not steal. If a child who was sexually assaulted didn’t trust so easily, they wouldn’t have been assaulted. These are all misconceptions that some people used to blamed the victims. The victims are not to blame! 

    Even some Social Workers, would have you blame the family because of the abuse that happened. This is one of the reason why my mother only went one time to see a social worker, because she was told that. Matter of fact, I was even told that.

    Let me go in another direction: parents who was speaking out at the schoolboard meeting because what the school was teaching their children. They were called, “Domestic Terrorist by the schoolboards, President Joe Biden and even the FBI. The FBI would have them investigated too over that. 

    Can you accept the idea that some things happen for no reason, that there is randomness in the universe?

    Why did God create a world in which there is sickness and disease?

    If people lived forever and never died, one of two things would have to happen. Either the world would become possibly crowded, or else people would avoid having children to avoid that crowding. 

    One of the most important things that any religion can teach us is what it means to be human. 

    As 2023 comes to an end, and we are about to start a new year in 2024, may 2024 be the year of prosperity us. As Spock from Star Trek would say, “Live long and prosper.” The year 2023 may not have been the best year for a lot of us financially due to the Biden’s inflation and poor economy. It was the worse since Jimmy Carter was President. 

    When Joe Biden had said, “You all are going to pay,” well, maybe it’s time that he pays for selling out America. 

    I want the best, not only for myself and my blog; but also for my readers in 2024. May you live long and prosper. 

    What is your Christmas tradition? 

    The very first Christmas Eve as a family, my mother took 5 of us kids to St. Mary’s Catholic Church for a Christmas Eve service without any help from dad. It was also the last time she took all of us kids to a Christmas Eve service, I believe. 

    TRADITION: the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation. 

    Usually Christmas is the time to do just that too. 

    When my mother was growing up, one of her Christmas tradition was, the family would eat lutefisk for Christmas dinner and oyster stew for New Years. 

    Is there anyone who still eats lutefisk anymore? Or is it gone like the older generation? 

    I’m so glad that my mother never made us kids eat lutefisk; because it was gross. It looked like snot. It was slimy and it stunk. Now my folks ate lutefisk, but us kids didn’t. Thank God!!

    Our family Christmas tradition will be followed in this blog. The meal consists of a ham dinner; or should I say a feast. My mother would get up quite early to prepare the meal. She would fixed ham and turkey, since our family was so big; and the ham would go quicker than the turkey. She would stuffed the turkey and made stuffing from scratch. She even cooked the gizzards. She would baked pies, like pumpkin and apple. She didn’t baked much cookies though.

    My dad would wait until the day before Christmas Eve to finally get a tree for us to decorate. Then finally, my mother grew tired of bitching for him to get a tree; she eventually bought an artificial tree. 

    One year, my mother fixed goose for Christmas. The goose was given to the family. 

    She would also have lefse every Christmas. It was Carl’s Lefse because it was way better than Freddy’s Lefsa; and I’m not being bias since I grew up on a farm south of Hawley. 

    We would have oyster stew for News Year as the tradition from her family growing up. 

     She would have a bowl of nuts sitting out with a nutcracker. It was a variety of nuts too.

     We would celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve; so that the older kids could spend Christmas Day with their spouse’s family. My dad would hand out the Christmas gifts until my younger sister and I were old enough to take over the duty. For some reason, that didn’t get pass down from the older kids to us. Eventually, we passed it down to the older niece and nephew for them to pass out the gifts. 

    Since our family was big and the meal was buffet style, we would dished our food up and go sit wherever we wanted. 

     My mother also made mock crab salad and baked beans. 

     One year we celebrated New Years Eve with my older sister’s in-laws, and it was the last time too. 

    One of the tradition I took from my mother was baking Christmas cookies for Christmas. Then when she passed away, I ended up making her famous baked beans for dad for Christmas. It was hard because she never wrote down the recipe; so I had to tweaked it a little. I felt that he should at least have his baked beans since mom wasn’t around anymore. I believed that he appreciated it too. 

    The only time my folks would go to church was for Christmas, Easter, wedding, a funeral, or a special occasion; but made sure they sent us kids to Sunday School and church. 

    Another tradition was drinking egg nog. Except we drank the non-alcoholic kind. Some would put alcohol in their egg nog. There is a tradition at Park Christian School, in which the high school students would have an egg nog drinking contest every year. Some of them don’t even care for the taste of egg nog. It has an acquired taste. 

    We would eat pickled herrings also for Christmas. We would even buy it for dad for Christmas. There was even a time, my mother would pickled northerns that dad would catch iced fishing. 

    Another thing us kids would buy dad for Christmas was chocolate covered cherries. He loved them! 

    This was my family Christmas tradition, some carried over from the tradition my mother had growing up in Casselton. She was very big on family get togethers. Believe me, there was some members of the family you didn’t want to be around either. 

    What was your Christmas tradition once again? 

    I wish you a Merry Christmas from my family to yours. 

    You all heard the saying, “Garbage in-garbage out?” This usually for what you put into your brain by what you watch online or TV; or what you read. In this case, it is what a person eat. Is it good for you? Is it healthy? Or is it junk food? Is it process food?

   There are more and more restaurants discovering and using local, organic ingredients. There are farmer’s markets popping up in communities in every state-markets where customers could get to know the people growing their food. Check your local farmer’s market to see if they used chemicals or not in their growing cycle. Farmers who don’t used chemicals are the ones to buy from. They are true organic, all-natural. If they used any forms of chemicals, do not buy from them! 

   It’s sad to say but very true, fast food is the way most people feed themselves in this country now days. Fast foods isn’t necessary at least fast food chains. It’s also process food that is quick to fix due to our busy schedule. Fast food is also any type of food that is grown with herbicides and pesticides, industrially mass-produced, and most often process or ultra-process with additives and preservatives. You could/would find them in your grocery stores. 

    If you’re eating in a fast food restaurant, or in a fast food way, not only are you malnourishing yourself, but you’re also unwittingly digesting the values of this fast food culture. 

    I was taught an young age to eat my vegetables. My mother always made sure I got my daily dose of vegetables from the time I was a toddler. When she took me with her and my real father, he would complained that she bought me vegetables with my meal. He was cheap and thought that hamburger and fries was good enough. 

    Now days, we seems to be too busy to cook healthy meals. We want something quick and easy to make. Convenience is the fast food value that says everything should be effortless, as a breeze.

    How many remember those days when your mother would actually cook a good home-cooked meal? 

    My mother did that; plus worked outside the home and raised a family. We had a big family too. 

    Many of us don’t even think of cooking meals from scratch anymore, because we assume it’s too difficult and demands too much time. Many of us don’t even want to leave the house to go shopping. Plus, it’s cost more to buy healthy foods. Buying junk, process food is cheaper than healthy food. Yet in the long run, it keeps the doctor away when a person eat healthy. Doctors are only in it to make money. The more people they see who eats unhealthy, the more money they make. Then a person wondered why healthcare is so darn expensive?

    We have become more and more impatient when we choose what to cook-we want it easy and simple. We don’t have the actual time to actually cook a good healthy meal anymore. Families don’t sit down together to eat their meal. They are always on the run to and fro. 

    Growing up, we would sit together and eat supper as a family. That’s one thing my folks made damn sure we did. Living on a farm wasn’t always easy, because of the busy schedule. 

    In order to guarantee that certain vegetables “look right” industrial farms all around the world have turned to growing crops in greenhouses in highly controlled environments requiring the heavy use of herbicides and pesticides. The food doesn’t look and taste as good as food grown naturally without chemicals induce. 

   The health of the soil erodes with the use of more pesticides, making crops that aren’t part of the monoculture harder to grow. 

   How many of us, when we get to a hotel room, go straight to the minibar to see what’s there? We expect to find the same little package of salted nuts, the same soft drinks and chocolate bars and potato chips. 
   Fast food companies also go directly into elementary schools to lure children with toys for free, in hope that their parents would take them to the restaurants. 

    In our world, we’ve mixed up the idea of affordability with cheapness.

    The reason industrial farms use pesticides on their crops is so they can grow food more efficiently and profitable. 

    We have an obesity epidemic around the world that is being propelled by the fast food industry-not only through the processed sugary, fatty food. Plus, kids are not outside playing like they were in my youths. Instead, they are either in front of the TV, computer, smartphones, or video games. 

    Even Bill Gates and the Chinese government is buying up farmlands across every states; so that they can grow process food grown in lab. Foods that are grown in lab looks very unappealing to our taste buds. Plus it’s unhealthy as well.

    After the mishaps in the Wuhan’s lab that Dr. Nazi Fauci and Bill Gates know more about than what they are saying; why should we trust them to grow our food? They are poisoning us. 

    Get to know your farmers, to know who used pesticides and herbicides and who doesn’t. Those who does use chemicals, do not buy from. 

As I write this blog, Israel is at another war; and the United States is being dragged into another war under Biden. When I say that Israel is involved in another war, I’m saying that throughout history, the Jews have always been at war. Either the war was there fault because of disobedience of God or the enemies of the Jews hated them so much that they want to exterminate them from the face of the earth.

Mankind has always been at war with God since the fall of Adam and Eve.

There was always a dispute against the Jews ever since Abraham; who is linked to the Jews, Christians, and the Muslims. You see, Abraham had 2 sons in his old age. Ishmael was born to a maidservant named, Hagar, because Sara laughed when God told Abraham that she would give birth to a son in their old age. So she arranged for Hagar to sleep with Abraham, resulting in Ishmael.

Then when Sara actually did give birth to her son, Isaac, she became concerned and a little jealous; so she had Abraham send Hagar and Ishmael away for her son’s safely.

Now, Ishmael is the leader of the Muslims religion; thus the reason for the hatred they have toward the Jews in the Middle East. There is a jealous rival between them.

I could go back even further with Cain and Abel. Now Cain and Abel were the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain was a farmer and Abel was a shepherd. They both made a sacrifice to God, but God favored Abel’s sacrifice instead of Cain’s. This resulted to Cain killing his brother, Abel. Thus the mark of Cain!

Now Isaac had 2 sons as well, Jacob and Esau, twin brothers. They were born to Rebecca. Esau was the first to be born with Jacob following, holding his heel. Now Esau was Isaac’s favorite and Jacob was Rebecca’s favorite. Rebecca help Jacob trick Isaac, who was up in age and blind, over the inheritance. Jacob even tricked Esau to give up his share of the inheritance.

Throughout the Old Testament, even though, the Jews were God’s chosen people, they have always fought for the promised land; which is in Israel. For example: when Moses held his arms up, the Jews would win, but when Moses arms were down, they would lose. So Moses had people holding up his arms to keep them up when he grew tired.

The Jewish people wanted a king but God didn’t want them to have a king because He was afraid that they would forget about Him. But He gave in, and gave them Saul first and then David. Saul was a king that was disobedient to God. Even though, David sin by sleeping with Batheba, he still was a man after God’s own heart.

I bring this up because, there was a time when the Jewish was banished from the promise land and sent into exile or under the rulership of other nations. They always throughout history had fought for their rightful place in the promise land. They either lost it through disobedience or their enemies taking over.

During the time of Jesus, the Roman empire was in charge of Israel. Apostle Paul even said that he was a Roman citizen.

During World War 2 and the Holocaust, many Jews were exterminated by Hitler in the gas chambers or concentration camp. There was genocide against the Jewish people back then as those on the Left is protesting genocide now against the Jews.

After World War 2, Golda Meir worked to bring back the Jews to Israel; which was the Promise land, and they been there ever since. The other Arabic countries in the Middle East have been fighting to kick the Jews out ever since.

Now the Jews are in another war, and this time with the Hamas from Gasa. Even Iran is helping them, along with China and Russia. Ever since Biden released Iran’s money that Trump kept from them because of the terrorist threat. This gave Iran the green light to attack Israel under the guise of Hamas.

Since Biden been President, the United States is now involved with 2 wars and who knows when China will invade Taiwan. It’s almost like Biden wants these wars to continue. Not only is he helping with the funding the Ukraine, he is also helping Russia and China as well. He’s helping them by doing business with them over trade deals such as oil for example. We can use our own oil and stop dealing with terrorist.

Just like with Israel, Biden is helping them but also he is helping Iran and Palestine. He is funding them both.

I’m not Anti-Israel like those on the Left. I’m just showing the facts to let you decide who is really at fault. Anyone who attacks Israel will be attacked by God, and anyone who stands alongside them will be bless.

Israel has been fighting since the beginning of time, and will continue to fight until Jesus return again for His people.

So is this latest war in Israel because of Israel disobedience or because the hatred the Middle Easterner countries have toward them? Only God knows the real answer.

I’m not in favor of another war that the United States is being dragged into. It seems that the United States is always dragged into other countries battles for some reasons. It’s because the United States is still considered one of the world powers. To those who chanted, “Genocide of the Jews!” Who are you to play God? God will cut you down for it!

Let us pray for a peaceful resolution over in Israel and a quick resolution with this war. What the Hamas is doing to the innocent Jewish people, like babies and elderly. They are raping and killing by beheading the Jews. This is as bad as what Hitler did during the Holocaust. This is as bad as when the time Jesus was born and the king ordered a decree to kill all the young boys, baby to 2 years old.

This is not political or religious; but rather it’s human decency.

Do you know that there are Christians who believe in the Holy Spirit; but doesn’t recognize the spirit’s world? They thinks that any other spirits is evil. They don’t even celebrate Halloween because they believe that it’s of the devil. Even though Halloween started out as a Christian holiday.

In some churches, instead of saying the Holy Ghost, they will say the Holy Spirit. They somehow believe that ghosts are evil.

Some Christians don’t even believe in angels; even though they sing about them around Christmas, in such song as “Angels, I have heard on High.”

Holy Spirit: also known as the Holy Ghost, is the divine force, quality and influence of God over the universe or his creatures.

Spirit: a distilled alcoholic drinks

the non-corporeal essence of living things

the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear to the living

I’m a Christian and I believe in the Holy Spirit and the spirit’s world.

First of all, I have experience the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. I have experienced it in church when the preacher was preaching. I experienced it when I happened to be working on Easter Sunday, and I felt someone praying for me. I remembered going to a revival service during the week in one church and then on Sunday went to another church that doesn’t have revival services; it was like falling from a mountain. I even remembered when I went to the grave of my real father in Jamestown to make peace with him. The first time, I felt at peace without even saying anything. It was almost like he knew why I was there. These are examples of the work of the Holy Spirit. I’m not going into the book at the top because I don’t want to turn some people away. Even though some Christians may be offended with the direction I will be going in.

They may watched the Christmas Carol; even though Scrooge is visited by 3 ghosts. How can they not believe in ghosts and still watch the Christmas Carol? How can they believe in the Holy Spirit but not believe in the spirit’s world?

As in the movie, “Sixth Sense,” when Haley Joel Osment’s character said, “I see dead people.” There are people who sees dead people or animals, and even feels their presence. I have experienced it to a point. There are people who have seen ghosts in certain buildings or on the streets.

Now ghosts will go where they are familiar with when they were alive. They will hang out there.

There was a time after my cat, Snowball, had passed away, I saw a white flash; which was him chasing his girlfriend, Tabitha in my old apartment. I even heard them and seen vision of them in my new apartment.

I believed what saved my life when I was in a car accident coming down from Mount Rainier, was my mother’s spirit was watching over me. It was as if she was telling me, “It’s not your time.” It was like she put her arm in front of me as she did when she was alive when she to a came to quick stop.

Some people would have vision of a loved ones while on their deathbed, leading them to the afterlife.

There are some who experienced a loved ones touching them to reassure them; as they did when they were alive.

Another example was when dad was in a nursing home. I saw my mother in the basement of our house on the farm. As we were going through the stuff, I heard her saying, “Don’t throw that!”

Another example was after dad passed away. I was wondering what was in our root cellar and asked my mother. shortly after, dad was riding by on his riding lawnmower. She told him that it was time to tell us kids what was in the root cellar. Instead of telling us, he went one way and she went the other way.

There are people who celebrate Memorial Day by visiting the graves of loved ones. I’m here to tell you, their body may be in the ground; but their spirit all around us. Even though they are dead, their spirits is still with us.

We are not just filled with the Holy Spirit, we also have other spirits around us as well. If you can believe in the Holy Spirit, why can’t you believe in spirits? I’m a believer!

As President Reagan said, “Government is not the solution; they are the problems.” Now Reagan was against big government like I am.

Even though this book is titled, “Tyranny of Big Tech,” I will show the connection between big tech and big government. They are both evil and in need of controlling the American people.

For President Teddy Roosevelt, the American republic was not merely a form of government, but a wave of liberty, a way of life premised on the dignity of the common man and dependent on the common person’s strength and independence. He believed that liberty had more to it than the right to be let alone. It was the right to have a say in one’s nation, to help shape the future of the community one-called home, to exercise the power and mastery of a citizen.

The effect is that Big Tech makes more and more money, while the working class narrows and decline.

At one time, the Republicans were known to be the party of the rich; while the Democrats were the party of the poor. That has all change now. The Democrats is controlled by Big Tech, by such people as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Beso; who was behind keeping the truth about Biden out of the mainstream news media and Facebook. They would fact check you if you post anything truth about Joe and/or Hunter Biden on Facebook.

Big Tech is the biggest Lobbyist in Washington. The more money you have, the more of an influence you can have on those in Washington. The common working man gets screwed in the process. What keeps those in Washington is the kickback they get from Big Tech. They are getting rich off of them.

Big Tech robs citizens of personal privacy with relentless surveillance and behavioral manipulation. They takes control over American citizens’ property and personal data. They are destroying Americans’

control over their lives.

Teddy Roosevelt’s war against monopoly is a reminder of something different, of a different kind of politics that we might call to our aid in the modern fight against monopoly.

Every society had its elites, of course: its wealthy, well-educated, upwardly mobile types.

Liberty depended on the common person’s power to share in self-rule. Something the government, especially the Democrats don’t want for us. They want to be able to control our every moves; just like in the book, “1984”.

According to the Constitution, the government is to be for the people by the people; but those in Washington and big tech has become so damn greedy with power and money. It has became between the haves and have-nots. Those who have and those who doesn’t. Our forefathers were afraid that the government would get too big to handle.

The American people must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have themselves called into being. But the corporations took control of the government instead. They bought those in Washington off with huge payoffs. Somehow, we allowed it to happen! We gave up our rights as American citizens.

The Left, meanwhile, pressed the need for social welfare and redistribution of wealth, and over the decades steadily expanded the size and scope of the federal government for those purposes. Then they have the galls to call fighting for Socialism.

Unconstrained by the Constitution, the tech monopolies became more powerful than the federal government. Strangely, this didn’t seem to bother anyone in Washington.

If anyone comes along to challenge big government and big tech, they are censored and attack. One person alone cannot take on Washington and Big Tech. Like the saying, “You can’t take on city hall by yourself.”

It’s time the American people stand up against this tyranny in Washington once and for all. We need an uprising like never before. We need to do what the Colonist did prior to the Revolution War, resulting to the Boston Tea Party. We need another message sent to Washington worse than the January 6th riot.

The message, I’m talking about is: “We the People are pissed!” We need to take back America from those in Washington and Big Tech. If we can vote in the people who can and will actually do something about this corruption. We just got hope that they don’t get corrupted in the process. Yet, we can do even more. We can march to Washington sending fear to them. Too bad it’s not legal to get rid of these corrupt politicians. We need a downright Civil War in this country, like my dad said could happen if the American gets too pissed at our government.

Let us throw the bums out and start new! Are you with me?

In a world full of hate, be a light. When you do somebody wrong, make it right. In a time full of war, be peace. There ain’t that much difference between you and I.

There is so much hate in this world we live in. It’s time we get some good vibes for a change.

There are 1,225 hate extremist groups operating in the United States. The Jews faced the most hate crimes of any religious group ever since the war in Israel started. There is an antisemitic toward the Jews that is overwhelming.

Those on the Left led by Rashida Tlaib. She is the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress. She is heavily pushing for Genocide of the Jews. She want to end the war in Israel because she feels that the Jews don’t have the right to defend themselves against Hamas.

Because of people like her, the Jews in America is under attack by the extremist.

There is not just hatred toward the Jews though that is up. There is hatred toward blacks, Muslims who are not considered extremist, and Christians. There was even hatred toward the Chinese people in America because of the Pandemic. Instead of projecting the hate toward the right place, they broaden it to include all.

Even Biden, himself is guilty of antisemitic. For someone who wants to unite the American people, we are even more divided. He attacks anyone who shows hatred toward blacks and the LGBTQ. He even lump the Transgender in that group. Yet at the same time, he spurts hatred toward Christians and anyone who disagree with him, like the MAGA Republicans.

He calls the MAGA Republicans Neo Nazi.

What do he thinks he is doing? He’s spurting the same hatred, dividing the country even more.

Biden even went after anyone who refused the vaccine with hatred toward them. When he said, “You all are going to pay if you don’t comply to the vaccine.”

Howard Stern even said to those who refused the vaccine, “Why don’t you just die then?”

That’s hatred too!

Biden called parents who protested against the schoolboard domestic terrorist. More hatred!

We needs to go back to the days when we actually got along despite of our differences. On college campuses today, if you are a Republican, they spurts hatred toward you and protest against you.

I remembered when I was going to NDSU, I was a college Republicans and had a professor, Dr. Thomas Matchie was a Democrat. We had the utmost respect for each others; and he even became my advisor. I admired him. You don’t see that now days on college campuses.

There is even hatred on Facebook and within family. People will just attack you for no reason but pure hatred, because they don’t agree with you.

Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday. Let us use this Thanksgiving as a new start to overcome the hatred in the world. Let us be a like to someone despite of our differences. We don’t have to agree with each others; we just have to get along.

When the Pilgrims first came to America, the Indians welcomed them. They taught them how to grow food. Because of doing that, they had a bountiful harvest for their first Thanksgiving. They ate together in unity. There was no hatred.

The church I belong to is a Multi-cultural church. We have such commodity with each others. We have this Agape love for each other.

If my church can do it, why can’t the world do it? We are all God’s children.

Don’t you know that love wins in the end if we just learn to like one another despite our differences. We just need to accept one another. Stop spreading the hate for those of different religions, culture, the color of their skins, or even their lifestyle choices. Even though the song was “Be a light,” I change it to be a like to others no matter what. This is how we can make America great again. Just because we disagree with one another, we can still learn to accept one another. This is my good vibes to you all.
