The Christian Vocation
Friday, May 24th, 2024If you are a Christian, Jesus told you your “vocation.” It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, an American or a Mexican, a worker or a CEO, straight or gay. Your actions speak louder than words. Your behavior shows what you believe, not the Church you attend. You can have […]
Trump Has the Reich Stuff
Wednesday, May 22nd, 2024The Trump campaign propelled discussions of NAZIs into the news again. It released a video with a fake newspaper reporting a fictional Trump landslide and the future “creation of a unified Reich.” Overtly mimicking NAZI language is essential to Donald Trump’s appeal. Many Americans don’t want to face this reality. What then is a NAZI? […]
When is Easter?
Sunday, March 31st, 2024Easter is a festival rooted in the Gospels and Exodus. In the Gospels, the Romans execute Jesus during the Jewish Passover feast. The Greek name is Paschal feast. The German word is Easter. Exodus tells the Jews to celebrate the night the Angel of death “passed over” the Hebrew houses smeared with the blood of new […]

Civil War and Reconstruction
Sunday, January 7th, 2024It seems there is a fundamental lack of knowledge about the American Civil War and Reconstruction. *Why did the relationship breakdown? Slave owners wanted the right to EXPAND slavery. US voters elected Lincoln because he promised to stop the EXPANSION of slavery. *Why did most of the Slave states attack the USA? They were the […]
Trust
Friday, January 5th, 2024One of the big questions about “faith” is the modern use of the word. It has come to mean, especially in the Non-Darwinian states, “belief”. These Bible Belt Christians will whip you with the Bible and proclaim their own salvation because they believe Jesus is their personal Lord and Savior. One of my favorite songs […]
Kissinger Paid for Nixon’s Reelection
Friday, December 1st, 2023Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon, like W Bush and Dick Cheney, lied about wars. They all threw American lives away to advance their political careers. They were deplorable before it wore a Red Hat. Nixon and Kissinger conspired to prolong the war in Vietnam War. Their reason? Win an election. They traded American and Vietnamese […]

Thursday, November 23rd, 2023Cost of Veteran’s Day
Saturday, November 11th, 2023Western Europe hasn’t seen a war between states in 78 years. The United States hasn’t seen a war between states in 158 years. Peace is possible once politicians and people stop trying to control each other, stop trying to steal from each other and stop trying to cheat each other. Liberty and Justice for all, […]
Elections Have Consequences
Friday, October 13th, 2023As we wake up to another day of chaos and unwillingness to compromise, it might be helpful to remember that elections have consequences. Elections are not a game. Elections are not about teams. Elections are about the future you want for yourself, your children, and your neighbor. In 2006 the voters in the Gaza Strip […]
