“I Forgive Him”

Like many across the country, I have struggled to find words of comfort, words of wisdom and reason behind Charlie Kirk’s assassination. I have wept in private, my heart breaking for this young man’s widow and two babies. I have sat stunned, unable to even pray, knowing fully well that Charlie Kirk knew what he was doing would probably be the death of him, and it was. I was shocked but not surprised, to tell you the truth, because I hear of Christians being killed, yes martyred by the hundreds on the African continent and in other parts of the world. Why? Because they ARE Christians. We’ve seen people killed in Churches in this country but the Truth about those killings aren’t released. Evil is seeking to destroy Christians in any way possible.

Why are so many Christians being killed? Because the demons have possessed so many into believing that what is good is bad and what is evil is good. It is Biblical. Isaiah 5:20 New King James Version says; “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” But even more, we are certainly looking at the end times and the book of Revelation is full of prophecy that speaks of the demoralization of mankind. They cannot stand our Jesus showing through us; they fear the LIGHT, they fear the TRUTH!

Yes, I have struggled and even though I know I should be praying, I haven’t been able because I feel God’s presence in my heart and I know what is coming because He reassures me. I want to rejoice, yet I mourn because I know how urgent things are and how many will not open their hearts to Jesus and it will be too late for them because they don’t know, they don’t know! I mourn for those who persecute Christians and hope their eyes and hearts open before it is too late!

When Erika Kirk stood behind that podium at “Her Charlie’s” memorial service, she had the armor of God on and her tongue was her sword of TRUTH! When she said those golden words; “Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ That young man … I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.” She set off heaps of ashes on heads of those who celebrated “Her Charlie’s” death! Was I surprised at her forgiving her husbands assassin? Not really, because in my heart I knew that this strong Christian woman is of the highest caliber of Christian. She lives and breathes Jesus Christ, awake and asleep. She has a power given her by the Holy Spirit that few Christians ever are blessed with.

Erika’s Grace bestowed upon the man who took her husband is a tiny example of Christ’s Grace he shows upon all humanity. We do not deserve it, yet it is freely given. Erika, in her wisdom as a Christian knows that had she not forgiven this man, her heart won’t heal and Charlie’s message would not be received as it should be. By giving Her Grace to the assassin, she releases herself from all burdens associated with the pain she is feeling. She has overcome any resentfulness she may feel. She did this not only for herself but for her children and Charlie’s mission. In doing so, she becomes the great lioness in the battle against evil and becomes a leader for Christ.

When we dig into Erika’s Grace further, we will discover that the Leftist who celebrate Charlie’s death and continue to insist that Charlie spoke evil, will not be able to deal with that Grace. Their rhetoric WILL BE EXPOSED as LIES! They will implode upon themselves and LIGHT will once again over power DARK. They have already exposed themselves and it will get worse before it gets better. They have already said they aren’t done with political assassinations and should have started higher. GOD FORBID!

As it is now, John 12:24 says it best, where Jesus is speaking. “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” Jesus Christ’s seed was planted in Charlie’s heart and now, Charlie’s seeds are planted in MILLIONS of followers. Charlie’s life he led is worth copying as I don’t think we can find a better example of a man who let Jesus take COMPLETE CONTROL of his life. Let’s strive to be more Christlike!

The ONE Photo That Says It All

I have read countless stories about the Charlie Kirk assassination in the past few days. I’ve seen video of the moment Charlie was taken from us, photos of his children with him and the video of his little girl running to him, calling out “Daddy”, photos and video of Charlie debating. The video of Vice President JD Vance walking with Charlie’s casket as they walked to Air Force Two was very moving and each video and photo invoked emotion inside me. But there was one photo that spoke volumes beyond the other was that of the photo of Usha Vance, wife of the Vice President holding Mrs. Kirk’s hand as they departed Air Force Two, after landing back in Arizona to face the gauntlet of reporters at the bottom of the stairs.

The messages in that one photo was overwhelming. The message to Erika Kirk was, “I am with you, I love you and I am here to serve you in whatever capacity I can, for as long as you want me to be here for you.” It is a woman thing, it is a mother thing and it is something much more; the heart of a serving woman to another serving woman. Giving when it may be uncomfortable but doing what is right and what is needed in that moment. Usha isn’t a Christian, she is a Hindu, yet a common belief bind these two women. Even with different beliefs in faith, love conquers any barrier to serve a need.

The hate from those celebrating Charlie’s death is more than vile, it is divisive and this one photo is telling those celebrating that they have not accomplished what was attempted by silencing Charlie. This one photo defies the hatred, challenges those haters, proves that Love conquers all.

By the simple gesture of support, by Usha; Erika is empowered and gives her the power to focus on her late husband’s message without the worry of falling or wavering in this wounded moment of her life. She has support behind her to move forward, instead of hiding in her grief.

While this gesture is seen physically, there is also a Spiritual message, that God uses others to support us in our weakest moments, when we fear to step forward, or fear of falling and facing the gauntlet. For yes, at the bottom of those steps from Air Force Two was a gauntlet of reporters infamous for twisting spoken word to fit their own narratives and not Truth. Usha was the physical barrier of support for Erika. God put Usha there for Erika. A simple but amazingly powerful gesture of LOVE.

We all are probably still processing the meaning of what happened, the meaning of what Charlie’s martyrdom means in the here and now and what it means for the future of this country. By killing the messenger, the messenger’s followers, who are in the millions, have been called to action, to continue the message of Truth; Truth of Family Values, Truth of Conservative Values, Truth of the Constitution and Truth that Love and Light always defeats hatred and darkness.

Yes we are in a battle for our great country’s existence as a Republic but the greater battle is Spiritual and it’s goal is greater yet. As each day takes us further away from the deadly day, let us celebrate a young man’s dream of being remembered as a man of Faith and courage, who was given the fire on his tongue to speak Truth and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that was ALWAYS respectful and open to dialogue from all sides of a topic. May we all who are believers in Jesus Christ use Charlie’s example as a guide in our message of spreading Truth.

The TRUTH WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL

They killed Jesus Christ because he IS the TRUTH. BUT HIS disciples CARRIED ON and spoke Truth. When they killed the disciples, Still, others carried The Truth to the world!

Throughout history, they killed the Messenger of Truth but they did NOT stop them. Someone will always rise up to continue to spread the Truth.

Islam is a political ideology disguised as a religion and yet the followers are faced with silencing the infidel because the TRUTH does NOT come from their message. They seek to destroy TRUTH for a false belief.

Socialism, Communism and Left leaning agendas always have to oppress the People because they are not TRUTH. They oppress and control and push agendas by force.

When TRUTH SPEAKS, it is freedom and it releases oppression. That is the beauty of a REPUBLIC. Freedom from sin by believing in Jesus Chris WILL SET
YOU FREE not oppress.

Killing those who speak TRUTH will always cause People to SEEK TRUTH, to find out why the speaker was killed. When People agree with TRUTH, oppressors seek to silence them, but it gives the PEOPLE a voice and TRUTH SPREADS!

Silencing Charlie Kirk will only result in his message of TRUTH spreading. Others will rise up and find their voice, where one stood, many will stand.

Charlie’s message was always respectful, always allowed those challenging him to speak their minds. Then he followed up with questions to those he gave a voice to so they could defend themselves but when they couldn’t substantiate their statement, with LOVE he proved their point null with Christian LOVE.

When you kill the MESSENGER their followers will ALWAYS continue the message. Truth ALWAYS PREVAILS. Silencing Charlie Kirk only started a movement that spreads further, farther and more rapidly than before.

TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS!

I never did care for Toby Keith when he came out with his song; “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy”. I just didn’t think it was appropriate and certainly not true country music. However, this weekend one of his songs has become one of my favorites, second to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” and that is “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” because that song states exactly what we did to Iran’s nuclear power program! And it is about time!

I remember when the Shah of Iran was overthrown and I remember when the American hostages were held under Jimmy Carter’s Presidency and we must all remember that Jimmy Carter’s Anti-Semitic attitude is what made Iran the American Hating country that it is. For over 40 years I have waited for an American President who had the balls to stand up to Iran and stop them and here we have it, Donald J. Trump stepped up and kicked Iran in the nuts! The world just hasn’t figured it out that when Donny talks, EVERYONE should listen. He doesn’t play nice, he plays to win. He gave Iran 60 days and they played the screw around and find out card and lost.

Now we have Russia talking they will supply Iran with warheads. HMMM. Really? Russia isn’t in a good position with the Ukrainian situation and really I think with the power we showed in Iran with Operation Midnight Hammer, I think everyone should sit down and shut the heck up!

Speaking of Operation Midnight Hammer, what an amazing operation that was and it was also theatrical with everyone watching planes go to Guam. Oh what a slight of the hand game! “Look! they are going to Guam!” Meanwhile, the real planes head directly east and no one saw them coming! No leaks to the media or to Iran and the DEmocRATS are imploding again! Reports are that morale on military posts is high and confidence in leadership is at highest levels.

All I got to say is: “This dogs bites when you rattle the cage!”

Let’s hear it again for Toby Keith! https://youtu.be/Zua8MJxnAwE?si=DBbKuF5SfqwXWqos

The Pope Is Dead

This morning I woke up to the news that Pope Francis had died. I feel no sorrow for this man as his belief system was what I feel counter to the tenants of Christianity. Yes, I just crossed a line with my Catholic friends, but let me explain some of my thoughts about this Pope Francis, then allow me to explain why I question the Catholic faith.

My first argument is that Pope Francis believed in a onw world government. This I believe is something right out of the book of Revelation and the antichrist. Pope Francis had also made statements that all religions lead to God. This statement is one of the most un-Christian of any Pope I have ever seen! This Pope also wanted to accept lifestyles and people who were definitely not according to Scripture. I can see Loving them but accepting their hate towards Jews and behavior against Scripture is not according to Scripture. Pope Francis was a known Socialist and those ideologies in my opinion do not work well with Christianity. Mind you, I am not judging, just pointing out red flags for me.

Now we move to the Catholic faith/religion. I have studies the Catholic history and of course the Reformation. There is so much to unpack on this I may exclude some of it. My key points that make me question the Catholic faith are as follows:

1) Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way, truth, and life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” I want to know why Catholics pray to Mother Mary and the ‘Saints’ like Christopher, John and the others. Are they God? No. Did Jesus say to pray to them? No. To me this is like praying to another god such as Baal because Mother Mary is not a god and never was.

2) Why has the Catholic church hidden things from the People and what are they hiding? Are they afraid of something?

3) I have always had issue with all the priests who have sexually abused children. Instead of prosecuting them and sending these perverts to jail, they just moved them to other parishes.

4) Why pray the rosary as a punishment for the sins confessed? All sins committed are covered with the blood of Christ, feeling sorry for our sins is good but there is no way to pay for our own sins as 1) they’ve already been paid for and 2) it is impossible to pay for our sins in anyway shape or form that would cover them. It is utterly impossible.

5) Did Jesus or God reveal different levels of Heaven to John? I have read Revelation and find only layers of stone, not levels of heaven.

6)Jesus died for our sins, His blood covered them. All we have to do is accept Christ as our Savior and by faith and grace alone we are saved. It is so simple, yet the Catholic religion makes all these rules that must be followed yet they still don’t guarantee a person goes to heaven! There is purgatory and such that the Catholics must go through. Show me where Christ said everlasting life is conditional.

I could go on but I am tired. I am also sorry for the Catholics that morn a human set upon a pedestal who held such un-Christian ideologies. I don’t hate anyone. I just question things.

The Meltdown Continues and Gets Crazier

OH MY goodness! The Leftists and DemocRATS are more unhinged by the day! Every word that Trump says sets them off into another tantrum. They haven’t figured out that most of what he says is just to jerk their chains. As my dad used to say, “They are taking seriously what is poked in fun.” Of course that statement was meant as a derogatory one, it simply lines up with what the left is doing. They have all lost their minds. But of course Trump is exposing too much of what has been hidden for decades and they don’t like it.

What really hits a nerve with me is the fact that those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome are acting out in ways that make conservatives feel like they need to carry a gun or some type of weapon to protect themselves and with good cause. People attacking Tesla owners, keying cars, protesting over the most ignorant things and spewing hatred all because “Orange Man bad”. If they could only see themselves. Their behavior is proof they have no clue as to what the Constitution actually says and means. Judges dictating from the bench, trying to stop deportations or worse yet, stopping Trump from stopping wasteful spending! Come on wake up people!

DemocRAT leaders are scared that the PEOPLE will never vote for them again after Trump exposes how they make millions from NGO’s and get rich off the taxpayers. It is simple to see that even some Republicans are making millions that way as well. SHAME SHAME! The fact is that we cannot continue to spend without limits. Enough is enough. Every taxpayer has become a slave to the government because of all the fraud, waste and abuse.

What is even crazier is that protests around the country are by paid protesters. The Democrats are so lazy they have to pay people to protest because they can’t convince enough people to do it for free! Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) was on Rachel Madcow’s MSNBC show saying that “she was training Americans to help take down a potential “dictatorship” of President Donald Trump.” So the leftists are too stupid to know exactly what to do without directions…oh but I forgot, they are paid actors anyway (probably paid by George Soros).

What is going to happen is the left is going to get out of hand (which is what they want to happen) and a civil war is going to break out (they want that too so they can blame it on Orange Man) the people are really going to get hurt. All I can say is, those idiots better not threaten me or they are going to find out how tough this old country girl is.

Stay safe. There are some really unhinged and mental ill people throwing temper tantrums out there.

The Dangers of NGO’s Realized

The uproar of the Democrats about Elon Musk and his crew of computer geeks is showing just how dangerous it can be to allow NGO’s (non-government organizations) to handle taxpayer’s money. NGO’s are nothing less than a black hole where money goes for projects earmarked by the government such as foreign aid to a country for disaster relief. The money is given to NGO’s to distribute the money and then they take a huge chunk out to pay their people that is often considered ‘administrative costs or fees’.

Looking at NGO’s you can find a lot of the people are paid very well for their work, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. Looking deeper you can usually find big names like Bill or Hillary aka Killary Clinton as being on board of directors or in the case of the Clinton Foundation, they setup the NGO and it their particular NGO is nothing less than a money laundering set up. Remember Haiti? Remember the Clinton Foundation took in millions to help the Haitians rebuild after the hurricane? I am not sure any of that money helped any Haitians.

Ever wonder how two Arkansas lawyers who one ended up President and the other Secretary of State made $240 MILLION from 2001-2015?

$240,000,000 works out to be $16,000,000 per year just for speaking, writing, consulting and advising. I cannot believe that those two shysters* have anything to say work 2 cents let alone $240 Million. So basically they lived off the NGO that took in money from all over the world. What was the reason of this money going to the Clinton Foundation? Well let’s see. Killary was Secretary of State when there was a Uranium deal with Russia. She basically had to agree to this deal for it and you might say that she would sign off on the deal if she got something in return….hmm you know…$$$$ BUT on paper it couldn’t be done as Secretary of State can’t make any more money than what the government pays which is basically peanuts to the Clinton’s so in steps this donation to the Clinton Foundation and poof! Money laundered.

While this scenario is the simplest to show, it also shows how nefarious NGO’s can be. USAID was set up to distribute aid to countries and groups to help people that is as far as that money is tracked. Yep, NO ACCOUNTABILITY because once that money goes into an NGO you cannot file a Freedom of Information Request (FOIA) to find out where said money disappeared. So there is your black hole and there is where all that foreign aid disappears. Do you remember Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy saying he didn’t get half of the $177 BILLION that the US agreed to send. Well about 60% was kept in the US to pay for weapons, some was allotted for humanitarian efforts which basically went to NGO’s to disburse and who knows where that money went as we cannot track it!

NGO’s are non-profits, not subject to taxation, not subject to audits by the federal government. Is it any wonder that money going into the USAID fund was being distributed to organizations that supported terrorist organizations? The following list was pulled off of the White House.gov website, listing where our tax dollars were being spent on (highlighted).

Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:

Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban

$1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”

$70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland

$2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam

$47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia

$32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru

$2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala

$6 million to fund tourism in Egypt

Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation

Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab

“Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”

Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries

IF NGO’s who received government money were allowed to be audited by the government or American citizens were allowed to file FOIA requests, we could stop a lot of fraud, waste, abuse and money laundering by our elected officials. Something exactly like what DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is doing is necessary on a yearly basis.

So now you know the money dangers o NGO’s. Maybe next time I will share what NGO’s can do with comprehensive planning.

(Isn’t the above definition a perfect definition for Bill and Killary? Talk about irony!).

Taking the Bad with the Good

What a crazy start to President Trump’s second term in office! I am very excited about DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) finding all the wasteful spending. This is a lesson in why NGO’s (non government organizations) should not receive government money or at least be required to show the books on how the government money was spent. This is also a clear review on how politicians go into office being paid a mere $175,000/ year and come out of office millionaires.

Billy and Killary Clinton were poor Arkansas lawyers and look at how much they are worth today! Where did they get their money? The Clinton Foundation! “Administrative costs”. Their Foundation was given donations from other countries as well and those Admin costs were a way for those other countries to pay the Clinton’s for their favorable actions during Bill’s time in office and Killary’s time as Secretary of State. Remember the Uranium deal she made with Russia? Yeah, she got paid under the table.

The Clinton’s are just one of thousands of beneficiaries of the USAID program. That is the black hole our tax dollars was disappearing into and it is why our country is so far in debt today. Now that the ‘cat is out of the bag’, perhaps we can do something to prevent this from happening again. One of the reasons Rome fell was because they found out how to spend money under the table and ‘poof’ Rome fell.

Unfortunately, my family will feel the pain but only briefly as my daughter, who was just hired on to NASA as a mechanical engineer and sworn in on January 13, 2025, will more than likely lose her job since the President said all probationary and new hires will lose their government jobs. My daughter has worked for a NASA contractor for years and she is working on VIPR and Gateway, the first is the autonomous moon rover that will take samples off the south pole of the moon in search of water and Gateway is the space station to launch from the moon to Mars. Another project is to go up on the next rocket to the moon to measure moon dust deposits on things landing there in order to figure out how to prevent equipment from malfunctioning. Yes, she will lose her job. Her former employer will take her back but she will be bumped from those projects.

I have no doubt that my daughter will eventually get back with NASA as they recruited her. She is an outstanding engineer and her projects always come in on budget or underbudget. She is someone who is cost effective and honest (brutally honest at times). Our government needs those type of workers.

So while everyone is crying about how unfair DOGE is, we have to ask a few things. Why are those that are screaming the loudest not trying to dispute those wasteful things DOGE is finding? Why are they trying to stop DOGE when it was an Obama program to deal with Obamacare fraud? The Democrats shot themselves in the foot on that one.

If you site back and look at this at a business standpoint you have to understand that a CEO (Chief executive officer) who goes into a new position to get a business back in shape has to do the exact thing President Trump is doing, auditing all departments and programs. 1st find where the wasteful and unnecessary spending is, cut it, cut back on employees (offer early retirements, buy outs etc.) and fire those who are problematic (not doing their jobs). Once the audit is done, then corrections are made to make things more efficient and then it is back to business with hopefully things in place that will prevent the wasteful spending from happening again. Once that is done, people who lost jobs as probationary employees can get that job back, when hiring is resumed. You have to take the bad with the good and right now, I want to see our government cut out wasteful spending and slush funds for bureaucrats and Congressmen to steal from the Tax payers!

Groundhog Day 2025

Well, Punxsutawney Phil, the Pennsylvania weather guru has predicted an early spring this year. Is he right? Well Phil is correct about 39% of the time but it is always fun to see people gather to have this whimsical tradition and honor a huge rodent that for the rest of the year spends its time being a rodent. It started from a German tradition and in 1887 it was started in Pennsylvania, the main hub of German immigrants at the time. Everyone knows it isn’t a reliable way to predict weather but what is? Surely not our own weather people.

As per usual, PETA (people for ethical treatment of animals) offered to send a VEGAN REVEAL CAKE if the Groundhog club would retire Punxsutawney Phil before the festival. Yes, they would send a cake with pink or blue insides to predict the weather. My question is, how would they know what the day would be like ahead of time? Would the cake, being vegan be made out of cricket powder? You know that PETA wants to do away with all animal ownership and exploitation of animals (They believe Phil is being taking advantage of.). Yeah they want us to get rid of our animals and eat bugs! Did you know they didn’t like New York City saying rats were pests? Guess they never heard of the plague before.

But I digress. There is nothing wrong with celebrating a silly tradition. Nothing wrong with honoring a rodent on February 2nd, and the fun people are having shouldn’t be infringed upon by some people who think eating bugs is better for the environment. PETA needs to keep their buggy breath ideas and ideology out of other people’s fun. It is harmless and I wager to bet that Punxsutawney Phil is probably one of the healthiest, best fed groundhogs in the world with free health care and food.

If PETA was to have it their way, Phil would be turned loose into the wild and probably killed by a predator, run over by a car or become a victim to someone’s trap. Ah, bugs are the answer! I can hear it now. “Please pass me the cricket steaks.”

January 2025 the Longest Month

It seems like New Year’s day was a year ago. It took forever to get to January 20th when the New Golden Age began. So much happened that first week! Hearings, executive orders, deportations and the like. Oh and we cannot forget the implosions of the left.

Here we are at the end of the second week and we have had a tragedy of a plane and chopper collision and we lost U.S ice skating stars, coaches and families, hunters returning from a hunting trip, a professor, lawyer and a Kansas couple from Kiowa KS. Such a sad state of affairs. Of course we are finding out quickly what happened. The helicopter was too high. Why? We will find out. We are also finding out that the tower didn’t have enough staff and at one time they had DEI hiring. Sooooo. Do we blame it on Uncle Joe? No, we fix the problems and go on.

The hearings have been interesting with Robert Kennedy Jr being in the hot seat for Health and Human Services Secretary. Kennedy really hit Bernie Sanders in the backside with the donations from big pharma to the Sanders political campaign and Tulsi Gabbard excoriated those who were going to push lies at her hearing. Kristi Noem also took charge this week going out on immigration raids to learn from the people working for her. Let’s not forget Kash Patel. Oh wow! When asked about if he ever faced racism, he answered that he had to move his family and had been called a ‘Sandn****r’.

I haven’t talked to anyone who hasn’t been on the same side of the thought process as me when I look at these people and see leaders, people who know how to do a job and can take charge. It is totally energizing to see the excitement building for our country.

Trump has people’s heads spinning and if he keeps up this pace, by the end of his 4 years, our country could be on the correct path for everyone! I heard a whisper of getting rid of the IRS. I know this is the right time to put the FairTax into law, it will be a great way to keep the PEOPLE in charge of our government.

Now we have had a second airplane crash. God help us and let us pray for everyone involved in both crashes and their families. MAG & MAHA!
