TRAVESTY

TRAVESTY
Of justice
Of logic
Of honesty
Of intellect
Of the soul—of America
Of the soul—of Americans

Travesty—Tragedy of losing foundational standards for stable interaction.

– – –

When you lose sight of the above, and cannot engage in decent conversation about where we are politically and spiritually, you must resort to the following, and make guilty those who disagree with you, instead of owning your flawed strategy.

GASLIGHTING
By political leaders
By democrats
By media
By leftists
By socialists
By marxists
By lgbt
By woke-ists
By D E I-ists

Gaslighting—Guilt successfully deflected from the guilty accuser to the fictitiously accused.

SCAPEGOAT
When one’s argument is weak, you need someone to blame and rail against relentlessly, until accusations become ‘facts’, believed by many.
Those who don’t believe, and try to present truth and facts, are likewise hounded severely for identifying with the named scapegoat.

WANTING TO BE RICH

“Want to be rich” ?
Not good—not good results—according to Jesus.

Wanting to be rich makes you poor in the parts that are for keeps.

“Those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts.” —–Jesus
– – –
– – –
How many Americans,
How many American financial advisors,
How many American preachers,
would feel compelled to add some disclaimer, some comment to make Jesus’ words fit better in our affluent culture ?

The statement straight on might offend people and drive some away.
And that is exactly what happened when Jesus said it, and many other warnings about money.

5-WRECKING BALL – RESPONSE

Please read in order.
Out of personal respect for my friend, I am sharing only my side of the interaction.

In keeping my last statement, we will not continue this conversation.
I counted six references to Trump—did not read the text.

– – –

One more text from my friend.
My response:

Ended, for the reason I stated.
Did not read the text.

4-WRECKING BALL – RESPONSE

Please read in order.
Out of personal respect for my friend, I am sharing only my side of the interaction.

Read my last text—you trashed my last such request, and continued more anti-Trump everything.
– – –
Repeating the mainstream media is not clear thinking.
– – –
I have a different source, for the truth, that you may never hear, or want to hear.
By the way, it includes half dozen Jewish programs and reporters every week.
– – –
Your comments, and quotes, and fears, and conclusions do not see the trouble we are in now because of the current administration.
– – –
America, and Americans, are much worse off than we were four years ago.
Maybe you can’t see it.
Maybe you are exempt.
The current leadership promises more of the same (she said “no changes”).
– – –
Everything I have said—you have responded with hell-bent blasting Trump—you have not respected me enough to set Trump aside to have a conversation about what has happened and where we are without Trump.
– – –
Will you be happy with a democrat win ?
Will changing America completely (as promised 16 years ago), and “the great reset” (proclaimed 4 years ago) really bring utopia ?
– – –
Okay, ______,
We will continue this conversation only without “Trump”.

3-WRECKING BALL – RESPONSE

Please read in order.
Out of personal respect for my friend, I am sharing only my side of the interaction.

Please re-read what I wrote, instead of your fixation against Trump based on relentless propaganda against him.
You miss my point, like many others so consumed with hate for the man, that you fail to see what is already devastating America, now.
– – –
The classic fact that democrats and the left and you are repeating the accusations and the horrors that you fear for America “if . . .” are the very things that those in power now are successfully waging against America to bring it down.

Historically, psychologically—accuse and criticize others most severely for the wrongs one practices yourself, to deflect attention and blame, while you gain power to control all.
– – –
I’ve been involved long enough to guess that you won’t let go of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, hatred for the person—long enough to hear what I say.
So be it.
But it would be decent if Trump were set aside long enough to talk about where we are now, and where we are headed “with no changes”, as Harris stated.
– – –
Listening to the non-stop blaming everything on Trump for what has gone wrong under the current administration, I have to say, “I didn’t know Trump was president the last 3 3/4 years.
It is a silly, serious blame game and fearmongering, so you can’t or won’t see the trouble the democrat leadership got us in and pledges to continue.
We have third world tyranny underway now—can’t blame Trump.

2-WRECKING BALL – RESPONSE

Read WRECKING BALL first.

An immediate response came from a very dear friend, criticizing Trump, and me for voting for him.
Out of personal respect for my friend, I am sharing only my side of the interaction.

My response in return:
“I knew you don’t agree with me, before I sent the text.
That doesn’t keep me or excuse me from sending the truth as I see it to a couple hundred people on my phone.
You might note my wording was directed at the damage by the democrats.
That is unmistakable, undeniable.
– – –
I have no illusions about either candidate, or their vp’s.
Their policies, and their track records in office, are the basis for voting, not their personalities.
– – –
I did not mention Trump, but I will respond to what you said.
– – –
+ Trump does not claim to be a Christian.
He does not meet the criteria.
+ I do not wait to vote only for a Christian candidate.
+ I will vote for him because his policies and his record in office were and are good for America.
+ His ‘conviction’ and ‘trials’ are the efforts of his political enemies, because he stands in the way of their goal to change America.
So do I !
– – –
After this election republicans in office may or may not save America—but the democrats in charge will definitely destroy this country, because they want something different than America—and it is evil, not good.
– – –
I can list details backing this up.”

1-WRECKING BALL

Sending this to everyone I can.
– – –
VOTE !
DO NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT !

Democrats have been swinging a wrecking ball on America.
They are committed to continuing—until they can replace the wreckage with socialism and its consequences.

They do not believe in America.
They do not like America.
They are doing everything to destroy America.

Don’t be part of that.
Don’t vote democrat.

Not included in text to my contacts:

BECAUSE I am a Christian ! ! ! , I cannot vote democrat ! ! ! [for those who say, “How could you vote for a man like Trump ?]

Top two reasons–
+ democrats PUSHING abortion as their sacred sacrament
+ democrats turning their back on Israel
God told Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you (and your descendants); and I will curse those who curse you.”
Because of that—anyone who is Jewish, you cannot vote democrat ! ! !

Today, currently, God is supernaturally, miraculously intervening for Israel in the battle for their life against terrorism, evil—NO THANKS TO DEMOCRATS—that is, in spite of democrats from the top ! ! !

“HALF SLAVE – – – HALF FREE” ?

It is inconceivable that anyone in America today could live with slavery legal in some states and illegal in other states.

It was the absolute conclusion of Abraham Lincoln for the country, that “the union cannot survive half slave and half free.”

He was absolutely right—slavery or its abolition had to be decided one way or another, at all cost.

And it was decided, at all cost ! ! !

Black people are humans equal to all other people, with equal rights—and our Constitution was amended to guarantee all rights to all Americans.

– – –

Now, this same union of The United States of America cannot survive half death and half life.

Abortion* or its abolition has to be decided one way or another, at all cost.

And it will be decided, at all cost ! ! !

That cost will not be postponed or ignored, by talking about it.

It is inconceivable that anyone in America today could live with death to babies legal in some states and illegal in other states.

*Abortion
Killing fellow human beings—babies, helpless, innocent, babies—infinitely more horrific in God’s sight than enslaving fellow human beings.
The Bible calls for capital punishment for murder.
But for crimes against children, the Bible adds graphically to the execution:
“a millstone hanged about his neck and he be drowned in the depth of the sea.”

“I HAVE A FAMILY”* – – – I CAN’T AFFORD. . . .

I’ve got a job,
I’ve got a family,
I can’t afford to say anything about the wrong things going on in America, around me.
I can’t afford the time,
I can’t afford the risk,
I can’t afford the lost job,
I can’t afford the lost reputation,
if I speak up and get involved.

Is it too soon to get involved ?
Is it too late to get involved ?

Martin Niemoller, a Lutheran pastor in Germany, gave the following confession numerous times in speeches after WWII, remembering the silence of German intellectuals and clergy, including himself, during the Nazis’ rise to power and purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

“First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.”

* A week after American Family Association initiated a boycott of Target stores because of their policy allowing men in women’s private spaces, over one million signatures were included, and growing.
Soon after, I participated with a group picketing in front of the Target store in Temple, Texas.
I had the opportunity for a few words with the store manager.
When I asked him if he personally agreed with the company policy, he said,
“I have a family.”
That says it all, for millions of Americans, who think they can’t do anything or say anything against the evils taking over this country.
And so far, most of us can still say, “They have not come for me.”
But they will, just as surely as Niemoller exerienced.

“WHY, GOD ?”

Got a list of “Why, God ?” to ask Him ?
Consider this, now, about then—good possibility, when we see Jesus, we’ll forget our questions, and most everything else on earth.

But for now:
“My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into all kinds of trouble; know that the trying of your faith works patience.  But let patience have her perfect work, so you will be perfectly complete and lack nothing.”

I agree, this doesn’t make sense—until we follow Jesus and give Him control of everything.

And even then we often ask “Why?”—until we get to heaven and find out it was all much more than worth it all.

Until then we have His promises in the Bible that guarantee both our outcome and our strength for today.
