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.

Definition of the week: SHYSTER- noun ; a person, especially a layer, who uses unscrupulous, fraudulent, or deceptive methods in business. Merriam-Webster’s definition : a person who is professionally unscrupulous especially in the practice of law or politics.

(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!

Welcome to the Golden Era of the USA

Wow! What a day of excitement and awe. The New First Lady was dressed in a very beautiful suit that was not only elegant but professional for the day, albeit I am sure from some facial grimaces she wasn’t warm when standing outside watching the Biden’s leave. Still she is a lady full of grace and our Second Lady, Mrs. Vance I think is beautiful, classy and will one day make a beautiful First Lady, God willing. But the most beautiful thing of the day is that our country has turned a corner and the will of the People has been heard. Trump welcomed us to a New Golden age of America and I am sure he will do his best to follow through with his promise.

President Trump is a great business man and he doesn’t mix words. He skewered the Biden administration, Clinton and Obama as well, and they couldn’t walk out or hide. Talk about slapping them in the face! I thought it was pure genius! He told the People what he was going to do and started work immediately. Not only a businessman but a workaholic. Hand on for the ride folks it is going to be exciting!

President Trump had no clue Biden pardoned himself and the rest of the Biden family. Heck that news didn’t officially come out until things were already in motion at the Capitol. These preemptive pardons are proof that they are all guilty of treason in some shape or form. Biden’s legacy will be one of failure and corruption. I personally am not sure these type of pardons are constitutional and if they aren’t, could lead to investigations in to wrong-doing.

I am sure the nay-sayers will have nothing but negative to write but that is expected, they are still throwing tantrums about losing and they fear for their agenda’s downfall. Goodbye New Green Deal, UN and wasteful spending.

The Golden Age has arrived let’s all get to work because one man can’t do it all! God Bless America Again!

Joe Biden Traitor-in-Chief

It is quite clear that Joe Biden’s scorched earth policy is in full mode with only days left before Donald Trump is sworn in as President. He is moving quickly to sign executive orders to make it difficult for Trump to fulfill some campaign promises but that is okay, we can hopefully get Congress to do something to correct this issue. What is really blatantly concerning and shows the true man that Joe Biden is was recently on display by the Medal of Freedom recipients. Most of the recipients promote evolution or democrat agendas with a few exceptions.

Killary Clinton and George Soros were awarded medals that are for freedom not for socialism and communism, yet these two people push to promote the One world order where only elitists have and the rest of us starve. George Soros has done more to harm the United States than help by funding those who seek one world order, the new green deal and global warming.

Joe Biden is a bitter old man who has nothing to lose and he is going for broke. Everything he is doing is what a traitor to our country would do. Hell he even gave Liz Cheney an award and she hid or destroyed government documentation on the Jan 6 investigation. When will people open up their eyes!

Welcome to 2025

Well, already into 2025 and we have 2 terrorist attacks. I call them as I see them and in 2025 you are going to see more of the RAW Educated Cowpuncher as she calls it as she see things. So here we go.

The terrorist attack in New Orleans was by a MUSLIM who was in the ARMY. Guess what, a Muslim cannot swear loyalty to the United States because they are allowed to lie to anyone non-Muslim or non-Islamic entity. News report is that this guy left Islam for a while to “find himself” but an ISIS flag in his vehicle proves he was still muslim.

Islam is NOT a religion but a political ideology. Islam is the only ‘religion’ that allows you to kill those who refuse to convert the the ‘religion’. Wake the freaking hell up people!!! So called practicing Muslims are blinded to the radical wing of their ‘religion’ just like Catholics were to the indulgences of their religion in Martin Luther’s time. I’ve known muslims but will never trust them as I would anyone else because it is okay to lie to any non-muslim person. Are you getting my drift here?

The attack in Las Vegas with the Tesla pickup, is very shady. Supposedly the guy had a 50 caliber hand gun and he shot himself before the truck blew up. Why is his body burnt beyond recognition and his credit cards and driver’s license not burned? I can see some radical terrorists kidnapping this guy killing him and then managing to get that self driving truck to blow up in front of a Trump owned building. Just think about it as the news develops.

Ok, now we turn to Trump and the meltdown of the left. They are going to try and sabotage him in any way possible and I mean anything from running a shadow government to another attempt on his life, they don’t want him and are afraid of what he can do to make this country run better. They are do delusional that they cannot believe the overwhelming vote mandate the PEOPLE gave Trump. The big thing we need to worry about even more is the RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) and the career politicians. They want to keep control but Trump is going to try them hard and call them out when they don’t do what he wants and what the PEOPLE want. Politics are going to get really dirty this year. Just sit back and watch. ANNNNNDDDD if the Republicans fail at doing what the people want, we WILL vote them out! I just hope that the crazy leftists don’t get the majority or they will impeach Trump again.

God help us in 2025!!!!

The Continued Meltdown

I almost spewed hot tea out of my mouth when I was reading an article about Killary Clinton making comments about the GOP taking orders from Elon Musk. Oh the hypocrisy of it all! As if they DemocRATS weren’t still taking orders from Obama! Yep it is the kettle calling the pot black folks. Biden has always been a puppet president, we all knew that if Killary Clinton didn’t get elected there would be a democrat president who would be Obama’s third term.

Just because Trump has employed billionaire Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to seek out all the government waste, the left has to find a way to discredit them and make Trump look bad. It is just perfect watching the left melt down as the majority of them have never really held real jobs. They haven’t a clue about business and they certainly do not understand how a business is run and Trump is going to run the government as a business. He is the CEO, his cabinet is the board of directors and Musk and Ramaswamy is quality control.

As the left continues the meltdown those of us who voted for Trump and who have always said this country needed a businessman to run it ae sitting back in our armchairs eating pop corn waiting for the next play as if it is the Super Bowl. Yeah USA!!!!!!
