The federal government inflates the supply of new labor by annually accepting one million new legal immigrants, by providing work-permits to roughly 3 million resident foreigners and by doing little to block the employment of roughly 8 million illegal migrants; many if not most who do not intend to accept and be loyal citizens of the USA. The federal government’s support for migrants has a huge impact on Americans — roughly nine million Americans have been pushed out of the workforce as wages have fallen amid the flood of immigrant labor. Because of the successful cheap-labor strategy, wages for men have remained flat since 1973, and a large percentage of the nation’s annual income has shifted to investors and away from employees. 12-21-17, Breitbart -- The Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via mass-immigration floods the market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.

We are to yearn for God’s will above all else—even above what we think is best. It's important to acknowledge that He may have something better in mind.
Psalm 145:18-19
[Note: Scripture will open automatically; just hover over it.] 1-11-18, Charles Stanley -- Idolatry involves giving something or someone priority over the Lord—and it leads to missing His best. Scripture also warns about other obstacles that hinder our receiving God’s blessings. As followers of Jesus, we are to pray to our heavenly Father when we desire or need something (Phil. 4:6). Sadly, many of God’s children fail to do so. Some are “too busy” to bring their requests to the Lord. Others talk to the Lord in a general or mechanical way, without the genuine, heartfelt communication He desires. Christians should come humbly before His throne, bringing requests with a submissive spirit (1 Peter 5:5-6). This means that we are to yearn for God’s will above all else—even above what we think is best. It is important to acknowledge that He may have something better in mind. Then, as we faithfully pray, God may remove or alter certain longings so that our desires begin to align with His. Furthermore, the Bible tells us to approach God with confidence and faith (Heb. 4:16; James 1:6). In other words, when we pray and seek the Father’s will, we should anticipate that He will answer. As Isaiah 64:4 reminds us, God “acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.” Our Father desires to pour blessing into the lives of His children. Don’t allow prayerlessness to prevent His best. Express your needs and wants to God confidently and specifically. Then submit your will to His, and wait expectantly. He is faithful--you will see!

| 1-9-18, * -- In France a silent war against firefighters and police is in full swing. On New Year's Eve, France's Minister of the Interior, Gerard Collomb thanked the 140,000 police officers, soldiers, firefighters and civil security associations who blocked any potential Islamic terrorist attack. |
In every big city, dozens of cars were burned, and in the suburbs, "youths" attacked the police. Even in central Paris, where the police were demonstrably visible, "incidents" resulted.
In November 2017, the radio station Europe 1 released confidential data about attacks against firefighters:
- "The figures of the National Observatory of Delinquency, released exclusively by Europe 1, show a 17% increase in assaults against firefighters in 2016. 2,280 firefighters were assaulted in 2016, compared to 1,939 in 2015. ...firefighters are confronted on a daily basis with increasingly extreme situations. With 366 assaults in 2016, the Paris area is the most affected region, after Aquitaine, in southwest France, with 406 reported assaults. As a result, the police are called to certain areas just to protect the firefighters."
- According to Bruno Retailleau, MP, head of a parliamentary commission on security forces: "in 2016, half the gendarmes officers (part of the Ministry of Defense) that were injured, were injured by assaults. As for the police, weapons-caused injuries for police officers on the ground skyrocketed by 60%." Five months after a law was passed to ease the rules of self-defense for police officers, the news channel LCI revealed that the use of firearms by police officers had sharply increased, including "intimidation or summons" (where officers shoot in the air or at the ground), which was up 89%. This type of gunfire is "justified and justifiable," noted the IGPN (internal affairs department) in a confidential note of July 2017, also revealed by LCI.
- On January 3, 2018, the headline in Le Parisien was, "When the Police Frighten Nobody." The same day, Lydia Guirous, speaker of the opposition party, Les Republicains, declared: "In the suburbs, the authority of the State no longer exists, and impunity predominates. The police are in a state of fear and the means [to respond] is lacking. This sense of impunity must be broken".
"I think it is those neighborhoods that need to be changed. Those huge apartment blocks in the suburbs represent an inhuman environment generating violence... I do not think these neighborhoods can stay that way."
SUICIDES at an all time high:
- In November 2017, in a single week, five police officers committed suicide in different French cities.
- On December 3, 2017, a police officer committed suicide inside the precinct of Alençon, in southern France.
- On December 5, 2017, a security officer of the Ministry of Labor committed suicide in the parking lot of a Gendarmerie precinct.
- Between January 1, and December 1, 2017 forty-seven police officers and 16 gendarmes took their own lives.

What the USA Gets For the Hundreds
of Millions We Give to Terrorists
Most small children learn not to put their hands on a hot stove at a very young age. Unfortunately few of them become politicians. And so every time a new president starts thinking about appeasing Islamic terrorists by letting them take over Egypt or develop nuclear weapons, he can test his terrorist appeasement theories in the confines of the smaller sandbox of the West Bank and Gaza.
Decades of testing have thus far produced no peace and no smarter politicians. After a few hundred years of peace negotiations, there still won’t be any peace. But maybe there will be smarter politicians.
Of the two impossible things in this scenario, smarter politicians are more plausible than nicer terrorists. If we can just keep the peace process going for another few centuries, maybe our distant descendants will finally figure out that appeasing terrorists really doesn’t work. Not even if you offer them parts of Jerusalem, freeze settlements and agree to build a giant statue of Mohammed’s flying demon horse.
Consider the arts. The PLO’s takeover of the territories in ’67 Israel unleashed an unprecedented burst of artistic creativity. There’s hardly a gray concrete wall anywhere in Ramallah that isn’t decorated with murals of a smiling Arafat beaming down on the wretched suckers he spent his life ripping off. And then there are the posters of the suicide bombers, the ritual burnings of American flags and the Jihadist poetry readings. Following is an example that we subsidize: “Our blood is food for the revolution/Yasser Arafat, for you we shall die” and “Sons of Zion, most evil among creation/ barbaric apes and wretched pigs." Koran 5:60 |
Intl Space Station [ISS] Japanese Astronaut Norishige Kanai Worried He's Grown 3.5 inches in only three weeks - I may not fit in my seat!
Kanai tweeted: "Good morning, everybody, I have a major announcement today. We had our bodies measured after reaching space, and wow, wow, wow, I actually have grown 9 cm [3.5 inches]! I grew like some plant in just three weeks. Nothing like this since high school. I'm a bit worried whether I'll fit in the Soyuz seat when I go back."
Nine centimeters [3.5 inches] is a lot, every human body is different; you do get taller in space as your spine drifts apart, usually by about two to five centimeters. The Russian Soyuz spacecraft takes the astronauts from and to Earth and has a limit on seating height. If crew members become too tall, it could pose a problem.

1-8-18, In 1980s atheist and legal journalist for a Chicago newspaper, Lee Strobel, deligently worked to discredit Christianity. His wife just became a believer and he had to set her straight! But alas, he failed and is now a great enthusiast for Christ Jesus. Brother Strobel’s message breaks down his take on the improbability of atheism. He said, "To continue in atheism, I would need to believe:
- that nothing produces everything
- non-life produces life
- randomness produces fine-tuning
- chaos produces information
- unconsciousness produces consciousness
- non-reason produces reason
In Philippians 3:1-3, the apostle Paul explains the truth of Christianity. To understand this section of Philippians, you must know a bit of history. Soon after the gospel began to spread among the Gentiles, some Jewish men who claimed also to believe in Christ began teaching the Gentile converts that they could not be saved unless they also were circumcised according to the law of Moses Acts 15:1. They did not deny that a person must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but they added to faith in Christ – works - the keeping of the Jewish law, especially circumcision, as necessary for salvation. The church leaders decided that Gentiles do not have to become Jews or be circumcised to be saved; but that every person, Jew or Gentile, is saved by grace through faith in Christ alone (Acts 15:1-29).
That decision, however, did not cause Satan to give up his efforts to pervert the truth of the gospel. He continued to work through a group of men known as Judaizers [dogs & evil workers see Philippians 3:2] who followed Paul on his missionary journeys, infiltrating the new churches and teaching their subtle error of faith, forgiveness HAD to also have WORKS. Especially circumcision. Paul explained that these men were preaching a false gospel and he calls down damnation on those who so pervert the true gospel (Gal. 1:6-9). Today, while the “Judaizers” no longer exist under that name, the core of their teaching is still quite prevalent. Thus our text is extremely important in helping us to discern what true Christianity is and to reject any counterfeit version. Christianity and the good news of Christ is repentance of our sin, and faith in Christ alone. Period.

Revealed! Massive Voter Fraud Unearthed
Some of national vote fraud panel’s most explosive findings:
- The voting dead. Investigators looked at voters’ birthdates and found that 45,880 votes in the 2016 election were cast by people who would have been at least 115 years old on election day.
- Some 45 people voted, even though they were born before the year 1700! Either there’s widespread voter fraud, or the zombie apocalypse began in the ballot box!
- Underage voters. The age problem worked both ways: 292 minors voted even though they were under the age of 18.
- More registered voters than adults. 7 states and Washington, D.C. have more registered voters than the number of adults legally eligible to vote. (Alaska, California, Colorado, D.C., Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, and Michigan.)
- Voting multiple times. The Government Accountability Institute found 8,471 cases of duplicate voting in just 21 states. A nationwide sweep would have uncovered at least 45,000 cases of people voting in more than one city or state.
- Thousands of phony addresses and names. More than 15,000 other people registered to vote using illegal addresses, like P.O. boxes, stores, and public buildings. 9,539 of those people voted in the general election.
- Rhode Island secretary of state’s office told investigators outright that it would approve a voter registration form submitted by John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt – even if it listed “a residential address that was a commercial office building, no driver’s license, (and) no Social Security number.
New York Agreed to Fund $90 Million Building
Expected to gain 420 jobs - but after a year behind schedule deal kaputt! [$214k per job]
In return, the company would be allowed to lease the factory for $1 a month for 10 years. But the deal did not require Soraa to spend any of its own money, to build or equip the factory or even sign a lease. And it contained no penalties if the company did not occupy the building or create the promised jobs. Soraa recently said it no longer needed the factory and pulled out of the deal just as the state was completing construction of the 82,000-square-foot building - after a year behind schedule - there was nothing the state could do about it.

President Trump Lack of Decorum,
Dignity and Statesmanship?
Actions Are More Important
than Words or Appearances
- There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.
- We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?
- We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?
I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”
The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today. The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.
During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming. Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”
General George Patton was a vulgar-talking warrior. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.
It’s wonderful to see that not only is President Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. His tweets may seem rash but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. He’s going after the fake media … He isolated CNN and made it personal. Just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.” His tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinable position. They need to respond, but if they were to start honestly reporting the news that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the “Left” alive.
Imagine, for example:
- if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko)
- the true evils of Obama’s spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright
- if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing the IRS used against political opponents
- or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels
- or the truth about the killing of Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi and the Obama cover-up
So, to my friends on the Left — and the Never Trumpers, as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper?” Of course I do. These aren't those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years. So, say anything you want about this president. I get it. He can be vulgar, he can be crude and at times he can be undignified. I don’t care, THIS MAN fights for America! We need such a man for such a time as this!

A Message of Hope
which we also eagerly wait for the Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philippians 3:20

1-5-18, * -- Many struggle with the advancement of another ‘New Year’ as we watch the world that seems to be coming apart. However, we who have placed our hopes and aspirations in Jesus alone have reason to be optimistic! Jesus said He was going to prepare a place for His faithful followers and return. John 14:1-3 As He ascended two angels stood by and told the watching apostles that He would return in ‘like manner.’ Acts 1:11
Jesus described a specific scenario through which they would once again be united with Him. He described a Jewish wedding to convey not only the absolute certainty of His return, but the inexpressible joy that would also accompany it! Amos 3:7; Ephesians 5:23-27; 2 Corinthians 11:2 This imagery perfectly fits the concept of the rapture of the church when Jesus Christ, after leaving to prepare a place for His ‘bride,’ would once again return.
The apostle John, in his Apocalypse, glimpsed this glorious future when he saw the Marriage Supper of the Lamb: “The Lamb [Christ] has come, and His wife has made herself ready … arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright.” Revelation 19:7-8
If the Lord tarries much longer, the Body of Christ will begin to experience increased persecution here in the USA just as in the Middle East. However, we have peace and hope as He promised never to leave or forsake us. Hebrews 13:5 We must be patient as we wait for that ‘Blessed Hope.’ James 5:8; Titus 2:13
Happy New Year all!

Why Study Bible Prophecy?
- how important?
- aren't people who expend more than a passing moment examining Bible prophecy simply uneducated crackpots?
- aren’t they just lunatics yearning for the destruction of the world?
The mantra we often hear is that Bible prophecy is irrelevant to the Gospel; it’s unfortunate, because this false image of Bible prophecy has succeeded in turning many Christians away from the Gospel altogether.
Although recent History is marked by many “date setters” and those who incorrectly declared a certain time frame for the second coming of the Lord Jesus; it’s no reason to ignore Bible prophecy. Many of those proclaim to be born again believers in the Lord Jesus are in reality wolves in sheep’s clothing.
What does the Bible say about prophecy? "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach..” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 The word "all" includes Bible prophecy. Prophecy is intended to direct our attention to the Messiah Jesus Christ. Revelation 19:10 The Messianic prophecies fulfilled by the birth, ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus of Nazareth authenticate His claim to be the one true Christ.
Studying Bible prophecy is an essential aspect of proper Christian living. The Lord Himself expected His disciples to carefully examine the Word of God and to be prepared for His return Matthew 24:42. Jesus expected the people of His day to fully recognize and eagerly await the time of His first coming. As we patiently await His second coming, He holds our generation to the same standard of accountability. [..snip]
Scripture admonishes mankind that to be ashamed of the Lord Jesus will cause their name not to appear in His book. Psalm 69:28; Luke 9:26; Revelation 20:15
In conclusion, Bible prophecy is the most powerful witness to the divinity of Christ. We must not listen to those who claim that Bible prophecy distracts us from the true Christian mission. Quite to the contrary, all Bible prophecy points to Jesus Christ Himself.
