If China gives an ultimatum with a choice to surrender, like we gave Japan, what will our answer be?
Dear Xi Xi Ping Pong,
I know Hunter and I owe you one.
Will you take it in land, because we spent the money?
Oh, the land you’ve taken is not enough?
So I guess we owe you one . . . country.
Guess that was really the bargain from the beginning.
Just remember me.
Yours truly,
Joe Biden my time
PS—It’s been great. Just remember me.
From day one I predicted that Biden will surrender to China.
The Potsdam Declaration was the ultimatum that gave Japan the choice to surrender—OR ELSE!
Eleven days later, and fourteen days later, Japan experienced “prompt and utter destruction” as clearly stated in the ultimatum.
The day is coming when China will give an ultimatum to the United States.
Practically all developing factors clearly point in that direction.
The question: Will the ultimatum give choices, namely surrender, with terms?
– – –
Choices—America has had our choices,* particularly in the last sixty years.
Those choices have consequences, though sometimes slow in developing, yet as certain as history records before us.
Do we think we can get away with our choices, since nobody has given us an ultimatum yet?
– – –
Another question: Are the enemies we see growing stronger the only ones who could give us an ultimatum?
In 2016 our choice was Trump—with a promise kept, with three Supreme Court Justices, and Roe was overturned.
But has America’s heart been overturned?
– – –
Ultimatum 2.0 (2020)—our ‘choice’ (with evil’s help) was evil—consequences abound for everyone to see.
Ultimatum 2.2 (2022)—‘last chance’ for our choice—or ‘not a chance’ for our choice.
Guess we’ll see soon enough, but too much is at stake to wait and see and hope things swing back in the right direction.
– – –
You see, God works in the affairs of men and nations, as Ben Franklin said, and God gives ultimatums.
God gives commands, warnings, judgments, in addition to natural consequences He has set in motion from the beginning.
In God’s judgment coming on the U.S., there may well be no more ultimatums with choices, just prompt and utter destruction.
Ninety percent of what makes America great is already unraveling for all to see.
What holds us together is no more.

How many does it take to make a remnant?
How much commitment does it take to make a remnant?
Who knows?—God knows.
THE FLOOD
How many people did it take?—Eight
How committed?—Hundred years building, scoffed, rejected
SODOM
How many people did it take?—Ten (found four, sort of)
How committed?—Saltified, Drunk, Incestuous
ISRAEL
How many people did it take?—Few Faithful Prophets
How committed?—To Death (not enough, invasion, captivity)
CHURCH
How many people did it take?—Hundred twenty, plus the Holy Spirit
How committed?—Most martyred (church grew, Israel disappeared)
REMNANT FOR AMERICA
How many people will it take?—More than right now
How committed?—Serious persecution must first reduce the numbers, eliminate the comfortable ‘christians.’ Most of us may have to start from scratch in the committed Christian life. “Search me, Oh God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
*—Prayer eliminated in American public schools, by choice.
—Bible eliminated in American public schools, by choice.
—Ten Commandments eliminated in American public schools, by choice.
—Protecting babies eliminated in America, by choice.
The worst thing that could happen to the United States between now and November is low fuel prices.
(Comments addressed to Temple, Texas City Council meeting 8-18-22)
My name is Larry Michalk,
I’m here to address the DEI issue—Diversity, Equity, Inclusion—driven by the LGBT agenda.
As government leaders, the Bible says you are
“ministers of God, for the punishment of evildoers, and the praise of those who do good.”
—That is, keeping law and order, and commending good in businesses and organizations.
Pursuing DEI reverses these roles of government.
—It leads to praising evil, like gay pride—and punishing good, like Christian businesses who don’t cater to everything that LGBT demands.
This may gain popularity for a time, as seen on the foxdog site—but it quickly leads to destruction.
It is clear from history that any healthy society does not start down this road and survive.
From diverse—to inclusive—to divisive—to demanding—to destructive—to deadly anarchy—to tyranny.
Not opinion—just historical fact.
I spoke to this council four years ago about this serious matter, knowing the issue would not go away, and here we are.
I said that until recently the Bible was the guide in issues such as this, and it quickly settled the debate.
Just because the Word of God may be somewhat out of fashion these days for those of you who support DEI, by no means does that mean it is out of power.
We cannot rewrite or improve on what it says.
We ignore it at our peril, as a nation, and as a community.
The Bible says, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”
You cannot pursue DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), and retain God in your platform for this city.
This council must choose between the two- – -Temple must choose.
And, each of you cannot claim God in your personal life—and vote for city policies God hates.

Senior summary for me:
Old writers never die—they just start a new story.
“Hindsight is 2020” means we couldn’t/didn’t see clearly to get it right the first time.
With some things in life, we can’t afford to ‘wait and see’ for 2020 vision—and we must make the right decisions, now.
From 1-11-20:
2020—A CLEAR SPIRITUAL VISION
“In 2020 it will become harder to be a Christian—but it will be easier to tell who is a Christian.”
Then, a year later, and now two and a half years later, I made another connection between those two statements.
– – –
It is becoming easier to tell who is a Christian—because it is getting harder to be a Christian.
– – –
Everywhere I look, and with all my Christian friends, we are seeing unprecedented escalation of evil—both in the world, and in our personal lives.
All this, and we haven’t even experienced the coming persecution yet.
Lots of Christian leaders are talking about it, while many others are failing to stand for truth.
It’s time to spend time in I Peter.
Try it—we’ll all need it soon, and now.
