Hello Friends,
      Well,  I got back from Kenosha, WI., Sunday morning after a 4 hour drive, and almost fell asleep at the wheel a few times, so I stopped at a gas station to get a cold Cherry Coke, to 'jolt me back to reality' and help me stay awake, along with fervent prayers to the Father.   I saw a number of close, important friends, and gave them some things, precious to me -- and them,  also telling them that I 'didn't expect to see them again'..... because of dangerous end times....  etc., and not because I don't want to see them again.   They are very special to me, combat Veterans, and friends for over 30 years.   I fell down on concrete twice outside my Hotel, misjudging the steep step, and got bruised up.   It was so HOT and HUMID down there, like at least in the 90's !!   Holy Cow!  
        Not to be sour, or depressed, or negative, or closed minded,  but I am now thinking/ figuring that most ladies I meet are so materialistic, aggressive, selfish, and want everything their way --- or they hit the highway ! !   Either that, or I am missing something....  duh.    I am trying to be very honest with myself, and let most women have their way, strip me of my wealth, money, etc.,  but they want to wear the pants and have EVERYTHING their way !   Of course, there are millions of GOOD, CHRISTIAN WOMEN all over the world,  but I think I have learned my lesson now.   Maybe it's just 'too late now' and I need to just live alone, single, and get ready for the Lord..... 
       2nd Timothy 3, starting with verse one:   "This know also, that in the last days,  perilous time shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,  incontinent [unable to contain/ restrain themselves],  fierce, dispisers of those who are good,  Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof,  from such turn away. Verse 6.  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive  silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts."   KJV Bible.   Obviously,  we certainly ARE in those "Last Days" right now, and things are super 'ripe' now in this Summer time for things to really accelerate and become unhinged.... if you know what I mean.
       If some of you good people ever watched a movie starring Clint Eastwood, in "GRAND TORINO,"  you will know what I mean about 'getting all my things in order,'  right now, preparing.   I am so sorry, please forgive me, for not being able to see more close, loved ones,  but I was pretty 'beat up' and hurting bad, and things just didn't go the way that I planned, and someone certainly took advantage of my good, kind, loving nature..... again, and messed me up.  Enough said....Ha!   Let me say again,  'That so many women CLAIM to be Christian,' but they don't have the foggiest idea of what that term is, and God will 'wake them up, shortly' and deal with them.   As for me, I am always trying to work on my own personality, with the help of the H.S. [Holy Spirit], and realize that I still have a long way to go.  The Rapture, or death, will finally take me where I need to go.....
       Oddly enough,  I am still a happy man, and still know how to roll with the punches.   If some of my words seem to be cryptic --- it's because they are MEANT to be that way, as a 'language' and messages to certain people who know me -- and can verily understand what I am saying, clearly.   To the rest of you,  sorry.
       It's kind of strange that the weather is actually cold U.P. here where I live,  but I can deal with that by simply putting on a shirt and socks....  lol.    But oppressive heat and humidity is different and makes me so uncomfortable.   So, there are some distinct advantages to living in the far Northern part of Michigan, in the U.P.   And the people up here seem to like, enjoy, love it here.   They are a 'different breed.'   And the dollar seems to go farther up here and that is why many folks love to retire up here, too.   The big cities to the South are so full of traffic grid lock with an evil spirit down there that drives people crazy, and mean, IMHO.   


As for the big shooting in Orlando, FL.,  let me say that this is just the beginning!   And if there were ANY legal concealed carry people at the scene,  the body count might have been a lot less !!   But, Obama and the Dims just love to manipulate the BS and use it for their own misguided anti- 2nd Amendment stupidity, propaganda, of course.   Ha!   It never fails, and half of America just 'goes with the flow,'  like a dead fish.


Question:    Do you all think that the majority of all those people killed in that dance club were "ready to meet their Maker ??"   I won't say what is on MY mind....  sorry.  My mind is for myself and no body else.  The Gov't cannot take THAT from me.

The Daily Jot

Daily reporting and analysis of current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective.  

 

NOTE: When writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.     Monday, June 13, 2016 Living with Islamic terror to the prophetic end   Though the US "president" refuses to call it what it is-Islamic terror-21st Century America is learning the unfortunate lesson of Islam. Islam is not compatible with a free society. Israel faces the same reality every day, living in the shadows of Islamic terrorism. The more Islam, the more slavery, crime, death and destruction. This is historic fact. Every State Department report on human rights points to the nations that violate liberty and human rights. They are those of Islamic influence. The "president" and the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for President, Hillary Clinton, both seek to import such by the hundreds of thousands. The deadly virus of Islam is here and is welcomed by certain politicians.   Islam is a beast system that attempts to devour all who assist it, all who oppose it, all who live within it. When the US "president" negotiated with the Islamic terrorist state of Iran, Iran's Islamic leadership condemned America as satan. While billions of dollars were being released to Iran for its signature on a nuclear deal, Iran was not feeding its people, but rather increasing its military development by a like amount. There has been no US "president" as friendly to Islam as the current one, yet America is under continuous threat of Islamic terrorism. Wherever there is Islam, the peaceful and law abiding are in danger. The policies and Islamic advisors of America's leadership have put our families in harms way.   Islam claims its roots in Ishmael. Genesis 16:11-12 says, "And the angel of the Lord said unto her (Hagar), Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael...And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him." Later, Esau (son of Isaac, brother of Jacob, grandson of Abraham) married Ishmael's daughter Bashemath. Esau's lineage became the enemies of God's people along with the Ishmaelites. This heritage is what informs modern Islam as established by Mohammad, who claimed to be a direct descendent of Ishmael. Since its beginning, this has been a violence upon those who follow the one true God, YHVH.   The beast nations that attack Israel in the "latter days" are Islamic. Ezekiel 38 and 39 describe the nations that come against Israel in a colossal end time battle. Magog, Meshech, and Tubal are located in modern Turkey. Persia is modern Iran. Ethiopia is modern Sudan. Libya is Libya. All are aggressive Islamic states. The theme of Genesis 16:12 is repeated in Ezekiel 38:21, "And I will call for a sword against him (Gog) throughout all my mountains, says the Lord God: every man's sword shall be against his brother." Islam is a death cult. It thrives on death and destruction. It plies the weak with its religion, saying "peace, peace" when there is no peace. Because of bad leadership, Americans will have to learn to live with Islamic terror to the prophetic end. This Islamic virus is an ever-present threat to the civil and law abiding.

Please use the forward link below to pass this on to as many people ********************************************************************************** From a friend:     But don't take my word for it.... just read the book of ROMANS !! our question:   No, I don't think the majority were ready to meet Jesus.  They wouldn't have been in that club if they were.  When I first heard the news that the muslim terrorist had shot up a 'gay' club my first thought was "Oh no, they hadn't accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior."  Then I thought about the Great White Throne Judgment because I had just finished studying all about it.  Those homosexual souls will have to stand before Jesus at that judgment.  My heart hurt for them.  They, hopefully not all of them, will be in Hades waiting for the judgment.  No one is talking about this.  NO ONE is talking about what happens when people die.  All I have been hearing is that we should pray for their families, which we should do, but more than that, the homosexual community is so lost and they need our prayers too.  The only answer is Salvation through the shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I want everyone to be secure in their relationship with Him.  When I hear homosexuals say they are 'christian gays'  my stomach hurts.  God hates the act of homosexuality.  He said so in His Word.  These people are not saved and they are not Christian.  If I called myself a 'turnip' it doesn't mean I am one.  No my friend, they weren't ready and the Church will carry the burden of this at the Judgment.

Per the 2nd Amendment:




… the word “bear,” should anyone want to look it up, means “carry" and “transport."

Any court that can’t understand the basic tenants of language should be dissolved.

We have the right to “BEAR" arms; therefore, we have the right to “CARRY” them, Period!

Hi Friends,
     This might/ may be my last blog post for a while....  or maybe forever.   I can't and won't saw more than that for obvious reasons.  
   But anyway, THE DAILY JOT, really caught my eye, down below, so I though I would share it with you.   Now.... what ever happens -- God is/ and always will be in control.   And as the world turns,  He will intervene to MAKE THINGS WORK His way so that bible prophecy always comes true, and 'on time.'   His schedule must be adhered to and we need to always keep that in mind.  At Matthew 6:9 ["The Lord's Prayer']...   or the Sinner's Prayer, how ever you look at it, Jesus says,  "Let your kingdom come -- let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."    Stand back for a minute and just THINK.... what did He mean by that ??   OK,  do we see, 'God's Will' being done on earth now ? '  With all the terrible, heathen,  ISIS butchering of Christians and Jews, death, hunger, destruction, corruption in the USA and all over the world, war, famine, drought, etc. ?   Shake your head:  "NO!"  But that WILL BE DONE eventually and only by the hand of  the heavenly Father, almighty God, thru His Son, Jesus,  but first He has to "clean up the earth."  Don't forget that there will be a 7 year, "Great Tribulation" and  then the great war of Armageddon {Rev. 16: 16.}.  But some good people, like the author/ writer below, believe that maybe we can have a  short little reprieve, or breathing space,  to get more people on earth educated in the bible, learn about Salvation thru Jesus Christ,   and "Saved" in the Lord, who will then go to heaven, in the Rapture and in death,  BEFORE the SHTF.  [Sorry to be so graphic].   I well know whom I want to vote for, and I intend to vote for the MAN who still loves and protects our U.S. Constitution !!  He is far from perfect and rubs many people the wrong way,  but he speaks the truth and still has our real interests in mind and heart, IMHO.    But.... we shall wait and see what happens this Fall..... if we even get to Fall and are still free to talk, worship, vote, speak, assemble,  write, blog, comment and breathe.    Things could happen OVER NIGHT and tomorrow we could wake up to a whole different nation.... in chains and headed to FEMA Camps !     No matter how much the WH, Congress, and the Lefty-Loosey "Press"/  Media says,  we are truly on the edge of a total, economic, financial, credit crunch, MELT DOWN and bank failure, where our American dollar will be near or totally worthless  --- and most smart folks know that they is no gold in Fort Knox or New York !!     Yes, friends,  I believe that it's that important and that frail, unstable economy and the U.N. wants to topple us as we are the 'Last Man Standing' in the way of the NEW WORLD ORDER ! !   The fact that we still have our guns and the 2nd Amendment is the only reason that we are not slaves already.  
     Oh,  it's all coming and you can be sure that the last book of the bible, Revelation, is all true and the ONE WORLD GOV'T  --- will come, for sure, and it will be so much death, loss of life,  freedom,  and liberty that you will not recognize the good, old United States of America, Europe, Asia, etc, etc.    Satan is pretty much running the whole show now -- but things will get MUCH WORSE, I promise.   Because I know the Book !     Sorry to sound like a broken record...  duh.   But... 'repetition is the mother of retention.'   Now go look up those new words.....lol.
    Ha!  I tried to give a simple, nice, bible tract to a lady today, 'who claimed to be a Christian...' and she refused it.   Oh boy..... the people U.P. here are sure different than they are farther South, and maybe I will move back there,  but I would surely give my good, kind, landlord, 30 days written notice, before I moved.  That is what a Christian would do.  Right now, I just cannot afford to move.


I will see you --- when I see you.  Please pray for me in the mean time.  Thank you.

The battleground is your mind. It cannot be stressed enough that the forthcoming election is a harbinger. America stands at a crossroads of ideals. The ideal of a nation founded, bred, steeped in the Judeo-Christian values found in the Holy scriptures versus the Marxist humanist ideal of abolishing all religion, morals, property ownership in deference to government almighty. This is what we are facing. It's not about the imperfections of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. It is about the American ideal. The two candidates are merely representatives of whether Marxism will overtake our country, or it buys a reprieve, a chance.   Many have expressed their disdain that I would write about politics in this column. Some have told me to stick to what I am supposed to do, that politics is not in my wheelhouse. Others say that we shouldn't be discussing politics and religion, there is separation of church and state. My response is that this election is not about politics. It's about the Judeo-Christian ideal of being an American and preserving those inalienable rights. Many are so blinded about the perceived evil in one candidate that they cannot see the greater and truer evil of the principality awaiting legal entry as represented by the other candidate. Separation of religion and state? How does one separate his spirit from his body? Only by death.   Are we, as the vast majority in this nation, going to become so bogged down in shades of gray and doctrinal gradients that we cannot or will not make a decision to save ourselves? There is a great threat to our way of life looming over us. We have had about a decade of this Islamic Marxism flooding our nation. We have had more than a generation of government promotion of sinful acts, our money funding them. While one person cannot right all this, nor will he try to do so, the other, however, will open the floodgates to the most anti-God forces we have seen to date.  Is it not time to at least begin to turn the country around rather than allow it to sink further and faster into the quicksand of Marxism?   As the Lord said in Ezekiel 22:30, "And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it." This is what we have before us. And the battleground of our minds will determine the outcome. We will either focus on the American ideal, the Founder's vision, of a free America with freedom of speech and religion, and inalienable rights, or we will succumb to the communist ideal of government as god. The question before us is 'will we make the hedge and stand in the gap, or will we fall in the weeds of endless debate over gray areas and allow the enemies of God to overrun us?' I for one, want to be counted among those who stand in the gap so that the last part of Ezekiel 22:30 is not realized: "but I found none." We need to get our minds right for the time ahead.

Good Day,  Friends,
     I just came back from breakfast at Holiday Kitchen in Iron Mtn. MI [the U.P.], and then went shopping for a few things, like soap to wash the floor, as my new cleaning lady made her first appearance here, yesterday.    So she used the last of the soap and I needed to prepare for the next time,  but I also bought some good bacon, chocolate ice cream, Butter Beans, and Southern style Spinach, etc.  Just everyday items {EDC}.   I don't enjoy running to the store every day when certain items run out at home.... and perhaps I am lazy [and why waste gas?],  but I prefer to stock up a LITTLE BIT, NOT hoard!   That is the way my father raised me on the farm in S.E. Wisconsin, in Racine County, back in the 1960's.... a whole different world and time, when we still had respect for our fellow man, etc.  
      In the big cities, however, where all the stores are much closer to the consumer with lots of competition and choices, it's quite normal to shop daily for nice, fresh, bakery, fruits, milk, etc., I am sure, and those are the 'benefits' of living in an 'ant hill.'  But I prefer small towns that are just a few miles outside the larger cities, so that my insurance, taxes, peace and quiet, crime rate and chances of lower theft and violence  are better/ so I don't have to worry so much about the criminal element and riots.   IMHO,  the average American doesn't yet KNOW and/ or have seen a riot, and so most of them have let their guard down.  Patriots and Veterans are a different kind of "Sheep Dog/ Protector type," who are trained and by nature aware of their surroundings all the time.   I have taken great pains to explain this many times in my modest, humble blog, here.   I am not trying to put us on some pedestal or make us something larger than life, nor demand worship or respect,  because all that is pure vanity and 'gone with the wind,'  anyway.   I also know that drinking a can of cold Cherry Coke in the morning is NOT GOOD FOR ME,  but it gives me an instant 'Jolt' of energy and wakes me up in seconds.   Smile.    I don't drink coffee or tea,  but it is certainly OK for others to indulge in such enjoyments, or needs.   BTW [BY THE WAY],   I am not JUDGEMENTAL !!   But the Liberal Lefty Losers love to use that 'card' when someone makes a simple "observation" while stating a commonly known FACT !   Look,   I used to smoke 'everything' in my younger, foolish days, over in a war zone and do other stupid things,  but I quit all of that trash when I was about, age 23 or so, and never looked back.   Now,  most folks know that smoking bothers me, [having COPD, etc.]  and so I hang around people / friends  that DON'T smoke or get drunk, or do drugs, and act like fools all the time....  duh.  People grow up, see their faults, get clean and sober, and try to walk straight and invest money for our  older days when we are not able to do all the hard work we used to do, for retirement and emergencies.    I can lay plenty of good scriptures on you to show the wisdom of putting some money aside for a rainy day, besides my days of working in Finance helped me see the 'light.'    Yet, I well know how difficult it is now days, to set some money $$$$  aside for investments, while also paying the monthly bills that never cease.  


What corks me is when those same people spend their money foolishly, party hearty, but don't take care for their kids or feed them, cloth them right/ properly, seem to have the most problems and challenges in life, and then wonder why !   And they seem to always have money for beer and tattoos and wild ass hair do's, and expensive gadgets.... Ha!
       "The soul of the wicked desireth evil,  his neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes,:  --Proverbs 21: 10.   And,  :The desire of the slothful killeth him, for his hands refuse to labour."  ---Proverbs 21: 25.   
      And I like.....  Proverbs 21: 19,  "It is better to dwell in the wilderness,  than with a contentious and angry woman."    And let me share with you some simple, great, "tricks" in understanding the KJV Bible, please.....   Just save your pennies to buy an inexpensive copy of "THE DEFINED KJV BIBLE."  Just visit the web site:   biblefortoday.org    --- to find this good valuable, self explanatory, "tool",   type of bible that shows you all the shortcuts in understanding the best, most pure translation of God's Word, please.    And then compare it side by side to your present copy/ version of the bible.    It also tells you how we got our modern day, true, pure rendition of the bible, and the best bible in the world, true to what the original Writers wanted us to learn and know, borne along by the Holy Spirit.    It helped me so much, like giving me a 'quantum leap' -- light years, advancing my bible knowledge, big time !!   For all the fancy coffee, smokes, booze, movies, cable TV we all have --- why not invest in something that will really help you day to day, in good times and bad times, and give you all JOY, and peace of mind !  Get the LARGE PRINT copy and give your poor, old eye balls a break,  friends.


I am so happy that my humble house is cleaner now, with some laundry done, clean clothes, clean floors, mopped, swept and better organized,  and it's been about 4 weeks removed from having a woman's touch, as "one hand washes the other" and someone else has more coins in her pocket to put better food on the table for her son.    Smile.   I have a lot of JOY now !  


Well, friends, here is a little more from a different source, about preparing for emergencies.   I hope you are not bored or over loaded,  but it lends more weight to what I have been saying all along.  


"Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth,  that thou mightiest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?"   ---Proverbs 22: 20 - 21.

What Hell Is Coming? Even Obama Is Now Warning Americans ‘To Prepare For Disaster’

Michael Snyder June 2nd, 2016 Economic Collapse Blog

This article was written by Michael Snyder and originally published at his Economic Collapse blog.

Editor’s Comment: As Snyder astutely notes, Barack Obama basically doesn’t open his mouth unless it is to spin propaganda for an agenda he has signed on to. Across a range of politically sensitive topics, President Obama has repeatedly proved to be little more than a salesman for a brand of government control over society, adorned with redistribution and social benefits, and thoroughly connected to the kind of change agents who want the republic of the United States destroyed and its people manipulated into accepting the conditions granted to them.

Is a false flag terror event, mega-disaster or total episode of civil unrest combined with martial law coming to America soon? Is it another scenario like world war with Russia? Basically, any one of them could lead down the same dark road in the end. Be prepared to be surprised… and outraged. The elections have proved to be a spectacle and everyone is taking sides, and at this point almost anything is possible between election day.

How Obama plays into it remains to be seen, but there is cause to think that “they” are preparing to pull something — and something major. If Obama is the one telling you to get prepared for disaster, then it might already be too late. What hell is coming? Those who know aren’t talking, but you can sense it in the air.

Barack Obama Warns Americans ‘To Be Prepared For A Disaster’

by Michael Snyder

When Barack Obama speaks to the public, it is very rare that he does so without a specific purpose in mind.  So why is he urging Americans “to be prepared for a disaster” all of a sudden?  On May 31, Obama took time out of his extremely busy schedule to deliver an address at the FEMA National Response Coordination Center in Washington.  During his speech, he stressed that every American is responsible for preparing for disasters, and that includes “having an evacuation plan” and “having a fully stocked disaster supply kit”.  These are basic steps that I have been encouraging people to do for years, but if they won’t listen to me, perhaps they will listen to the man currently residing in the White House.  The following excerpt from Obama’s speech comes directly from the official White House website…

"One of the things that we have learned over the course of the last seven and a half years is that government plays a vital role, but it is every citizen’s responsibility to be prepared for a disaster.  And that means taking proactive steps, like having an evacuation plan, having a fully stocked disaster supply kit.  If your local authorities ask you to evacuate, you have to do it. Don’t wait."

This speech was timed to coincide with the beginning of the hurricane season, although hurricanes have not posed much of a threat lately.

In fact, a major hurricane has not made landfall in the United States for 127 straight months.

But without a doubt, we all need to be preparing for disaster.  Hurricanes can create a short-term emergency that can last for a few days, but there are other threats that could create a major emergency that could potentially last for an extended period of time.  That list of potential threats includes a major volcanic eruption, a natural or engineered pandemic, a west coast earthquake, a New Madrid earthquake, a tsunami on either the east or west coasts, a meteor impact, Islamic terror, war, an EMP burst that takes down the power grid, cyberwarfare, economic collapse, and civil unrest resulting in the imposition of martial law.

Of course the items that I just mentioned are not mutually exclusive.  In fact, in different scenarios we could actually see multiple events happen in rapid succession.

It is interesting to note that during his speech Barack Obama also noted that the American people seem to have become very complacent about getting prepared…

And what we’ve been seeing is some public complacency slipping in; a large portion of people not having preparedness kits, not having evacuation plans.

This is exactly what I have been noticing as well.  There appears to be a tremendous amount of apathy out there, and relatively few people really seem to feel much urgency to get prepared these days.

My contacts in the emergency preparedness industry have been telling me that sales are way down right now.  There was a big peak last fall, but since then it is like interest in prepping has just fallen off the map.

Ultimately, those companies are going to be okay because interest will pick back up shortly as global events begin to spiral completely out of control.  However, of much greater concern is the fact that people have not been using this period of relative calm constructively.

Just like we have seen in Venezuela, time to prepare eventually runs out.  And someday there will be millions of parents that are absolutely horrified when their children come to them crying out for food and they don’t have anything to give to them because they didn’t heed the warnings and they didn’t get prepared.

When that day arrives, many of those families may be forced to turn to whatever help the government is offering at the time.

One more thing that I found particularly noteworthy about Obama’s speech was that he said that there is now “a FEMA app” that can direct you to the nearest “FEMA shelter” in the event of a major emergency.

If you need information about how to put together an evacuation plan, how to put together a disaster preparedness kit, as Craig said, we’ve got an app for everything now.  We have a FEMA app in English and in Spanish to help you prepare your family for a disaster.  You can update the National Weather Service alerts.  You can get safety tips for more than 20 kinds of hazards.  It provides you directions to nearby shelters.

Could you envision yourself and your family having to take refuge in a “FEMA shelter” someday? If not, you should do what you can to get prepared now.  Over the next couple of days, my wife and I will be releasing a couple of new videos about preparation on our YouTube channel.  I hope that many of you will check them out.

Unlike Venezuela, it looks like we may still have a little bit more time to prepare for what is ahead.  Some people will relax and use this time to party, but those that are wise will work diligently and will do what they can to get ready for the exceedingly challenging times that are rapidly approaching.

Hopefully you are listening to the warnings and are heeding what the watchmen are saying. If not, the consequences for what will happen to you and your family will ultimately be on your own hands.

A Spirit Of Violence And Civil Unrest Is Rising In America

It was only a matter of time before our deeply divided nation was going to start coming apart at the seams.  Waves of anger, frustration, violence and civil unrest are starting to sweep across the United States, and political rallies for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump have become a focal point for releasing some of that energy.  The angry mob that threw rocks, bottles and burning T-shirts at police and Donald Trump supporters on Tuesday night wanted to get the attention of the national media, and they got it in droves.  Now that the election is less than five months away, this kind of scene is going to be repeated over and over, and this is something that I warned about back in March.  Millions upon millions of our young people have fully embraced the radical left, and they have already made it exceedingly clear that they are not afraid to use violence to advance their cause.

Friends,
     I suppose that this BS will happen sooner or later as the NWO [New World Order] finally gets here, according to the book of Revelation, Chapter 13,  but we need to be alert, and stand ready all the time --- from NOW --ON !!   I hope that you all understand that once the Gov't has taken away and squashed the 2nd Amendment, ALL THE REST OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES will also fall, in a heart beat ! ! !   Sorry,  that's just common sense and fact.   Too,  if a Socialist like Hillary [HRC] gets into the WH, that will prob be her first order of the day.   Remember,  we are NOT electing a new Pastor of the church, so Mr. Trump, will be very imperfect, perhaps arrogant and chaff many people,  but I believe that he means well, and respects our U.S. Constitution, and Freedoms.   That is the important thing.  Anyway,  God will visit His "cleaning action" up0n the earth in His due time, and nothing will/ can slow that time down or stall it, friends.   But I think that God would want us to do our level best by picking someone who respects  LIFE and LIBERTY, including the Freedom to Worship Him in our own way, according to the  KJV BIBLE.   BTW,  I hope that most of you good people also know that after this goofy 'transgender' thing floats by, like a dead fish, the next thing that the godless, immoral people/ Gov't will want is,  pedophilia !!   Ha!  you didn't think it would stop after the homosexual and transgender thing/ filth were over, did you ???   "You ain't seen nothin' yet !"   Because the bible points out in Matthew, that "just as in the days of Noah, and Sodom, will the End Times, be."  {See:  Matthew 24: 37}. 


I think I speak for most Patriots and Veterans... that we KNOW what Obama is up to [and George Soros -- the evil puppet master, multi-billionaire ].  They want to destroy America and goad we/ us  good, Americans into 'drawing First Blood'  into starting something like a civil war or uprising, so they can then  declare Martial Law, and move foreign troops in to 'clean us up, and ship us into FEMA camps, and then exterminate us!   And so many paramilitary and Vet orgs, and survival orgs/ groups will NOT make a false move !!  Yes,  we know their stinking game, and they are just waiting for some kind of shooting action so they can spring their trap,  while they are now doing everything to force us into a quarrel and fight !!   I think that supporting the GOA and the NRA is smart business, for sure.    But that's just my personal opinion, friends.  I think investing in a good shotgun and ammo., is another good idea, before Obama, Clinton and the Socialists ban that too.  


Well, many of my Christian brothers are not too worried, because they know that Father God has their back and they know that the bible says these times MUST COME !  
     So what should we really be doing right now ??   ALL, that means everyone with a tongue that works, ought to be sharing the Gospel to as many people in everyday life, as they possibly can !!   That is a command, not a request. [See:  Matthew 28: 19]   And if you don't feel you are suited, able, smart enough, or a good speaker --- SHAME ON YOU !   There is no valid excuse!   If you can read, the KJV Bible is written on a 5th grade reading level!   I always tell folks to just start with the Gospel, of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John,  and then also read and study the book of Romans.  Then read and study them again, and try to find a good, Bible teaching church in your area -- if you can and rub elbows with other strong, bible loving Christians and join in the preaching/ sharing work,  tomorrow.   Period.  With God and the Holy Spirit, you will be educated very well, and equipped to do the job.     "All scripture is given by inspiration of God,  and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly  furnished unto all good works."  ---2nd Timothy 3: 16.   So, there you go, dear friends!  The KJV Bible is all you really need.   And before you all get down to reading and studying, always ask the Holy Spirit for power, understanding, wisdom, peace, etc.   God has blessed me so many times in my life, but most of all these past 10 years, IMHO.   He has allowed me to teach this stuff to my 3 wonderful children, even though I was not the best father, but just a lowly sinner man, with many personality flaws, etc.   I also led many people with the help of the Spirit to Jesus Christ, in many ways,  but all praise goes to Father God !!  Not me.   I am happy to just be the "tool,"  the hammer or chisel that breaks away some of the stone, or marble, to get at the heart of men and women.  PTL.   And like I said before,  there are also tools in the form of bibles, and bible tracts, special, great Christian radio stations, like WVCY, etc., that can all help us do our J.O.B.     And you ever feel that  you have stumbled and tripped, fallen too many times or committed too many horrible sins and failures ---- DON'T THINK THAT WAY, please !!   God is so merciful and kind, and forgives if you are truly sorry and repentant.   We will all be sinners until God "translates us up into a spirit creature -- and into heaven."   That will take place in the "Rapture"--- or our death....  not to worry.    
     We don't want to take our own life,  but for many living in pain and agony, death will certainly be that blessed 'gateway' to everlasting life in a far, far, better place than we are now.    And think of our brothers and sisters over in Africa and Asia, the Middle East, whom ISIS and the unholy heathen persecute and ravage/ and murder.   Those who are martyred will receive a special crown of glory when they meet Jesus ! 
    More latter.

Obama to Ban Thousands of Senior Citizens from Owning Firearms Scroll down to the “How to Take Action” section below and submit your outrage with Obama’s plan to ban hundreds of thousands of senior citizens from owning guns -- thus setting the stage for massive gun confiscations. Not a GOA member yet?  You can join Gun Owners of America today for only $20! Obama’s Plan to Jeopardize Gun Collections and Inheritances Dear Thomas, Barack Obama understands it is the Second Amendment community that has destroyed his legacy.  And now, like a rabid dog, he is lashing out in an effort to destroy as many law-abiding gun owners as possible.  His most recent scheme is the SOCIAL SECURITY GUN BAN, which was formally published in the Federal Register last month. How broad will this regulation be?  If you are on Social Security disability by reason of a mental health impairment, then your gun rights are gone. Period. The regulation promises to aggressively search for and take away the gun rights of Social Security Disability recipients with PTSD, ADHD, post partem depression, Alzheimer’s, etc.  But understand this:  Some parts of the regulation, like the definition of “adjudicated as a mental defective” in proposed CFR 421.105, are applicable to all Title II recipients, including old-age programs.  Thus, under this language, if you are a senior and can’t “manage [your] own affairs,” you are specifically acknowledged by the Social Security Administration as being a “mental defective” for purposes of making you a prohibited person.  And, under the NICS Amendments Improvement Act, this would impose a legal obligation on the Social Security administration to search for and turn in your name to NICS as well.  So the question is:  Do you trust Barack Obama?  Because this regulation potentially opens a broader gun ban than it now acknowledges.  And if Obama decides to extend the gun ban to seniors by “executive action,” this regulation will have put all of the procedures and definitions in place to do so.  And guess what? Obama MAY argue that, if this regulation specifically acknowledges that seniors are prohibited persons, then the NICS Improvement Act will require Social Security to take their guns away. Click here to read the rest of this alert online. How to Take Action The Social Security Administration has posted regulations here.  And they are inviting comments from the general public. While you can fax or mail your comments, they “strongly recommend that you submit your comments via the Internet.” So here’s what to do: Visit the Federal eRulemaking portal at www.regulations.gov.   Use the “Search” function to find docket number SSA–2016–0011.  Submit your comments, using the pre-written text suggested below or by uploading your own text.

Sorry to be the barer of sour News, albeit, pure truth from a top expert.    Time to grill some steaks outside before it rains, soon.  
    A fine friend of mine agreed with me, about being more discreet and limited in certain things, ways, web sites, F/B,  etc.   No one needs to know my business -- because they don't have a life of their own, and they feel the need to run down my character or spoil my good name, etc.   Not to worry though -- I am not being negative, just truthful.   I am constantly refining myself, and trying to streamline and organize my life, to simplify it.   I want and seek to "unclutter" the rest of my life without  worry and try to share / experience only on the good things and blessings that fall into my lap when I pray for peace, comfort, good relationships, love and Joy.   I am so grateful for what I have right now, the pure love and bounty, special HAPPINESS that I believe Father God has blessed me with.... after chasing rabbits into rabbit holes, 'searching for love in al the wrong places' [the name of a Country song...lol].    Like I said so many times before.... so many 'ladies' CLAIM to be "Christian" and 'know the bible' --- only to break their promises, commitments, contracts, and just dump their husbands of weak pretexts....  duh.  God will repay, and I am only going to devote ONE little sentence to that part of my past.   I am a sinner too, I freely admit,  but I think a new era/ time has opened up for me, no matter what goes down in the near future !  Smile.
     It seems that all of my close, trusted friends have the mindset that Father God will provide for them no matter what goes down in the world, and the USA, and they are correct, for the most part.   It's just that I once thought I was so talented, hard working, educated and skilled, and then the rug was pulled out from under me and I slid so far down and thru the cracks that I was utterly SHOCKED at how far a man can 'fall from grace' and hit the skids, no matter what I did.  But perhaps this was the Father's design to 'humble me' and bring me to HIM.   At any rate -- that was when I finally found the one true God, His Son, and the H.S.   
        And so, another catastrophe is already in the "pipeline" even as MOST folks in the world still don't see the 'signs,'  sorry.  I know that I bet my drum often, perhaps too often, to share this news with the wise--- to help them, also to get their feed back. 
     In most of my humble blog posts, I share and declare all the bad, horrible, negative things that the smart, real, experts see --- but I also give that glimmer of divine hope and trust in the KJV Scriptures, and promises to His servants and Believers.   So I try to give  balance to everything, dear friends, and I hope you all "see" that. 
      Well,  I need to "make hay while the sun shines."  Good bye for now.


Warm Regards,

The Next President’s #1 Problem

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. | Monday, June 6, 2016 at 7:30 am

I was born shortly after World War II.
I’ve paid close attention to speeches by presidential candidates ever since Eisenhower.
And I can tell you unequivocally: Despite everything they may say, they’ve always had more in common than not.
Typically, no matter how they struggled to differentiate themselves, many still came off sounding like Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
This year may be the paramount exception — Clinton declaring last week in San Diego that Trump would lead the nation into war; Trump retorting from San José that she’s guilty of criminal activity; each offering a radically different choice for voters.

But more so than ever before in our lifetime, when it comes to our money, our retirement and our entire financial future, the next president’s number one challenge is White House impotence.

Fast forward seven months, put yourself in the president’s shoes, and you’ll see exactly what I mean …

The Day after Inauguration, January 21, 2017

You’re in the Oval Office. The Rose Garden is blanketed with snow.
And regardless of what you may have planned for this memorable day, you’re confronted with a series of fix-or-fail financial and economic disasters that trump all else.
Disaster #1
U.S. Commercial Real Estate
You thought the real estate boom-and-bust story was done and over. So did all your economic advisers.
You should have known.
But it seems everyone’s eyes were on the last war (the housing market). So they underestimated — or completely overlooked — the epic new bubble (in commercial real estate).

This chart, presented by Mike Larson at the Las Vegas Money Show in May 2016, stood out as a blatant warning of the coming debacle in commercial real estate.

Specifically, no one on your team saw or paid much attention to this chart, demonstrating that …
1. The year 2016 brought an epic commercial real estate bubble …
2. That bubble greatly exceeded the comparable bubble of the 2008-2009 real estate debacle. And …
3. The commercial real estate market began to peak in the middle of the presidential campaign.
If you’re president of the United States in 2017, this is a huge shock. It takes priority over your list of favorite spending initiatives, be it for jobs, health care, or walls. And for reasons I’ll explain in a moment, there’s virtually nothing you or the Fed can do to stop it.
(Mike Larson was among the first to warn about this in The Next Big Real Estate Turn Is Here and Is a New Real Estate Crisis Looming?)
Disaster #2
U.S. Automobile Industry
The domestic auto market delivers your second shock, and again, you or your advisers should have known: A full eight months before Inauguration Day, JD Power released telltale numbers that clearly forewarned of this debacle:
They showed that over 31% of auto borrowers owed more on their cars than their cars were worth, a record high.
They showed that a 29% of auto loans stretched out as long as six to seven years, triple the level of 2010 and also a record high.
They showed that even 84-month loans weren’t enough to satisfy the auto makers’ lust for sales to consumers unable or unwilling to pay for the car they want. So they decided to push leases like never before, accounting for a record 33.6% of auto purchases.
And as if all that was not enough to lure in buyers, auto salespeople were offered huge incentives of approximately 9.3% of the cars’ sticker prices, also a new record.
(See also Is Leasing Boom Setting the Stage for an Auto Sector Bust? and Shocking New Stats Show Why Auto Bubble is a Disaster in the Making.)
Exactly eight years earlier, your predecessor faced what appeared to be a similar battle on the Detroit front. But alas, as I’ll explain in just a moment, the weapons he had at his disposal for that fight are now gone.

Disaster #3
Sinking Global Economy
Now, as POTUS #45, if you and your experts weren’t prepared for this particular shock, you truly had your heads in the sand.
Why? Because 21 days before the 2016 Indiana primary, when Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, the IMF declared in its own bold headline …
“Global Economy Faltering from Too Slow Growth for Too Long.”
Moreover, in their World Economic Outlook, they listed a host of reasons …

• “The slowdown and rebalancing in China
• “A further decline in commodity prices, especially for oil, with sizable redistributive consequences across sectors and countries
• “A related slowdown in investment and trade
• “Declining capital flows to emerging market and developing economies,” plus
• “A host of noneconomic factors, including geopolitical tensions and political discord.”

Thus, as you look beyond our shores from the vantage point of the January 2017 Oval Office, you see that one by one, the largest economies of the world have taken big hits, due to precisely the factors cited by the IMF months earlier. You see …

• China, the world’s second largest economy, on the verge of a volcanic eruption due to extreme income inequality, spurring popular revolts, labor protests, massive government crackdowns and more revolts. (For more proof, don’t miss The Biggest Global Risk Right Now and The China Fallacy.)
• The European Union, with a combined GDP that rivals that of America’s, very vulnerable to surging anti-EU forces.
• Not to mention Brazil, already in its worst recession since the 1930s … Russia, long-ago devastated by oil-price collapses … and every major commodity-producing economy on the planet, suffering similar hits.

“Strange,” you say to no one in particular. Why is it that none of this even rose to the level of background noise during the 2016 presidential campaign? Now how are we gonna scrap, or at least redirect, America’s biggest trade deals?
“For the backburner” comes the immediate answer. “With the largest economies in trouble, the ships of global trade are sinking across the Atlantic and Pacific. No one, not even someone with intense scorn for NAFTA or TPP, wants to rock those boats just now.”
Meanwhile, back home, America’s large corporations began cutting back sharply on their capital expenditures one year before Inauguration Day.
Then, a half year before Inauguration Day, on June 3, 2016, the U.S. Labor Department shocked the world with news that job growth was collapsing.
So right now, no one, not even among politicians enamored with the idea of a $15 minimum wage, wants to poke more holes in the job market.
Disaster #4
No More Weapons
All of these disasters — and others — funnel into one, single, not-so-strange economic phenomenon: Recession.
And alas, that’s also something you should have known. On average since World War II, recessions have struck every 73 months. And by January 2017, you’re already into month 91.
What is out of the ordinary is this: Unlike any other president in modern history, you’re virtually powerless to do much about it.
You see, every other president in the last century has always had a powerful ally for combating recessions — the Federal Reserve. And the Federal Reserve has forever had a very simple, very effective weapon — interest-rate cuts.
In fact, in past recessions, the Fed has always dropped its official rates sharply, and all your predecessors in the Oval Office had this great advantage …

In 1960, under Eisenhower, the Fed cut the effective Fed Funds rate by 2.5 percentage points.
In 1970, under Nixon, the rate cut was 6.2 percentage points.
Ford presided over a whopping 8.3-point cut in the mid-1970s.
And the Fed under Carter beat them all with a 10.3-point cut in the early 1980s.
George H. Bush got a 6.9-point cut from the Fed.
Bill Clinton got a 5.5-point cut during the Tech Wreck of the early 2000s.
Plus, your immediate predecessors, George W. Bush and Barack Obama were in office when the Fed gave them a 5.1-point cut to combat the housing bust.

Ever since 1960, presidents of both parties got magnanimous nonpartisan gifts from the Fed in the form of rate cuts averaging 6.4 percentage points.

But you? No. You’re out of the luck, at the tail end of the chain letter. You get nothing. Zilch.
You give the Fed Chair a call. You ask her what she can do for you.
She talks about below-zero interest rates. “Maybe a half point at most,” she says.
But even then, she warns, it’s highly experimental. It impacts only a very tiny portion of the nation’s largest financial institutions. It never reaches the people. And by the way, we already know it’s not working for the Europeans or the Japanese.
“How about some more money printing,” you ask a bit sheepishly.
“Been there, done that,” she retorts. “Ran into law of diminishing returns. Economy sinking regardless. Looking for the exit doors for months now. Still can’t find ‘em. But there’s no way in hell we’re going back there.”
You meet with folks from all political and financial persuasions. Your first week in office comes to an end. Then your first month. No one has any brilliant new ideas.
And you haven’t even begun to worry about government gridlock.
My advice to both the reader and future presidents: Don’t overestimate your power to adapt to — let alone bring about — change. Prepare yourself ahead of time for economic disasters already in the pipeline. And always beware of your limited ability to stop them.
Good luck and God bless!
