Should Christians Celebrate Halloween? [here]
10-25-22, Billy Graham Org -- Those who are interested in the right or wrong of the the Halloween holiday may look at the holiday's origin in the occult of Satan and believe it should not be celebrated at all; they are aware that some groups celebrate Halloween as a tribute to the devil.
Some parents adapt traditional "Halloween" festivities using fall festival parties where children dress up in themes of positive cartoon characters, famous historical characters or Bible heroes. Children will always be attracted to costumes and treats; finding positive ways to enjoy these pleasures is the primary challenge for caring anti Satan and Jesus loving adults.

Illegal Immigration and the U.S. Labor Market [here]
9-13-23, Steven Camarota,  Dir of Research, Center for Immigration Studies [Excerpt] -- "... Dealing with the decline in labor force participation is so difficult because it is not only an economic problem or even one caused solely by misguided [Democrat]-Ed.] public policy. Fixing it will involve changing norms and reestablishing the importance and value of work. 
Simply turning to eager illegal migrants to fill jobs is easy, and it’s why that is what we have generally done in recent years. But we face a clear choice as a country: Either undertake the difficult policy and social reforms needed to address the decline in labor force participation or continue to allow in ever more immigrants to take jobs and then somehow deal with all the social problems that come from having so many working-age people not working.

INDEPENDENCE USA MONOLOGUE [Partial Satire]
  • “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”  —Thomas Jefferson
  • “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” —Ronald Reagan
  • “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.” —Thomas Paine
  • “The struggle for freedom is one of the most powerful forces in human history.” —Dwight D. Eisenhower
  • “We will make America strong again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again, greater than ever before. Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens.” -- Donald John Trump
 
7-4-24, * -- Happy Fourth of July! It is perhaps the most joyful and encouraging Fourth of July since covid first appeared in 2020, in a thousand thousand fear-mongering headlines.
 
The problems early Americans faced in 1776 were very different from the problems we face today. For one thing, in those days Americans yearned to throw off the yoke of a white-haired, mentally confused ruler with serious memory problems given to impotent outbursts and hallucinations. One colorful anecdote holds that King George told Palace staff that cannibals ate his uncle, Baron Mosey.
 
Haha! The colonists’ situation was totally different from our modern configuration. We enjoy a government by president, which a wise Latina Supreme Court Justice insisted this week is actually a King. You probably think I’m making some kind of sly comparison here, but King Biden is nothing like King George, because King George could sometimes feed himself. So.
 
The truth is, the British feudal system the colonists rebelled against was the real problem, and it was vastly dissimilar to our Constitutional form of government. Under feudalism, King George cemented power by dishing out royal appointments, like baronies and knighthoods. “And soest thou now becomest Duke Nincompoop of Worcestor,” the King would say, and Bob’s your uncle, Simon “Dumb as a Rock” Jones would instantly become royalty, and would enjoy vast powers of ordering his friends and neighbors around and conducting official business like throwing that guy in jail who refused to keep his miniature poodle out of Simon’s yard that one time. And then Simon would get rich, of course, by taxing everybody senseless.
 
Fortunately, we have a system of checks and balances whereby the President cements power by appointing his cronies like Merrick Garland to high office, where they wield vast powers and settle scores with antivaxx soccer moms by siccing the FBI on them or auditing their taxes until they go crazy. “And soest thou shalt becomest General of Attorneys,” Biden would mumble, reading from his teleprompter, which is also completely distinct from the scroll or parchment or something that nearsighted King George used to stumblingly read from. And then Baron Garland of Attorneys gets rich, of course, just like Duke Nincompoop of Worcester, through taxing everybody senseless.
 
So our new system of federal government is totally different from that old system, and you can clearly see how much better our neo-feudal system is than that stupid feudal system the colonists dumped into Boston Harbor like so many overtaxed tea bags.
 
Of course, had the Founders known how the Federal Government and its executive agencies would one day mature into an oversized, byzantine, neo-feudal system, they probably would have jumped into Boston Harbor along with the tea and swam away.
 
So on this remarkable 2024 Day of Independence, let us pause to reflect how the Supreme Court, in its trifecta of agency-pruning decisions, just held the legal version of the Boston Tea Party, dumping decades of neo-feudal laws into the Potomac. Call it the Potomac Tea Party, a sort of declaration of independence from King Biden who, like King George, at this point probably wasn’t even told what happened since it would just make him cranky and hard to feed.
 
Four years ago, I invested a tremendous amount of time and treasure fighting with the government and advising citizens how to resist the cockamamy and contemptible rulings of their employer overlords, who were busily wielding federal government-fueled, neo-feudal powers to force workers to take shots [Covid vaccine] they didn’t want. Now, Fauci’s squawking chickens are noisily flying back to the coop, and a giant flock of tobacco-litigation-level of lawsuits over their asinine jab policies are starting to land right where we predicted.
 
I also regularly and often warned local government officials that their King George-levels of madness and overreach during the pandemic’s early days would soon result in their overused and arbitrary executive powers being miniaturized into gift-shop replicas. They ignored me. But that too has also played out exactly as I (and others) accurately predicted. Bad luck for big government.
 
During covid, Biden’s federal government flexed to its utmost strength, proving to even the lowest-information voter that it had too much power, and creating the predicate for the revolutionary reckoning that is currently assembling for duty.
 
Lord Acton famously observed that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Supreme Court’s immunity decision this week did not transform the presidency into a kingship. It did exactly the opposite. It tossed the de facto absolute immunity that presidents have long enjoyed out with the tea boxes, and replaced that monarchical standard with a careful Constitutional rubric for holding presidents accountable.
 
As in 1776, our 2024 revolution is just beginning.
 
Things are getting spicy, and our work has only just begun. But we are no longer playing defense, tossed around like tea boxes being loaded onto container ships. We are on offense now. Today, on this day of revolutionary independence we can celebrate not just faint optimistic signals but real progress. George Washington once said, “Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”
 
Now get out there and rapidly blow up some fireworks with your friends and family. Happy 4th of July! I hope you patriotically enjoy this week of revolutionary progress and take the chance to prepare yourself for the next phase in the battle for freedom, a perpetual battle that never ends.

America's DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, Full Text

7/4/2024

 
Picture
In USA Congress, July 4, 1776, DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
​[from Britain]*
“The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
 
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world:
  1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  2. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
  3. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
  4. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
  5. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
  6. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
  7. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
  8. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
  9. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
  10. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
  11. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
  12. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
  13. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
  • For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
  • For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
  • For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
  • For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
  • For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
  • For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
  • For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
  • For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments
  • For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
14. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
15. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
16. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
17. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
18. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. 

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
 
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
 
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
 
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”

SPIRIT of 1776: Independence Day PLUS GOD

7/3/2024

Yes, America Had a Religious Christian Foundation
The Founders identified themselves as Christians. In 1776, every European American, with the exception of about 2,500 Jews, identified himself or herself as a Christian. Moreover, approximately 98 percent of the colonists were Protestants, with the remaining 1.9 percent being Roman Catholics

​6-7-11, * -- There’s an argument that the USA did not have a Christian foundation.  In short, while America did not have a Christian founding in the sense of creating a theocracy, its founding was deeply shaped by God’s Christian moral truths creating a regime that was hospitable to Christians, but also to practitioners of other religions.

Arguments against the true founding are often framed in the light of the founders’ intentions, but unfortunately, their views are often distorted.

Early colonial laws and constitutions such as the Mayflower Compact, the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, and Massachusetts Body of Liberties are filled with language of God and His precepts.

Asserting that the Founders of America were deists [1] often concede that some founders of the USA thought civic authorities should support religion, but argue that this is irrelevant because of the false belief there should be a high wall of separation between church and state was written into the Constitution. [2]

Christian writers such as Peter Marshall, Tim LaHaye & David Barton contend that not only did America have a Christian Founding, but virtually all of the Founders were devout, orthodox Christians who consciously drew from their religious convictions to answer most political questions. 
[Moses is still on the wall of the USA House chamber. [4] For example John Adams was deeply committed to Jesus Christ and the use of Biblical principles in governing the nation. And George Washington if he was alive today, “would freely associate with the Bible-believing branch of evangelical Christianity that is having such a positive influence upon our nation.” [..]

​The founders believed it permissible for the national and state governments to encourage Christianity. Yet the Constitution does not mandate it or a secular polity. We should be wary of jurists, politicians and academics who would strip religion from the public square. The policy of ‘separation of church and state only came from an 1802 letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. [3]

In conclusion I contend that orthodox Christianity had a very significant influence on America’s founders and this influence is often overlooked. At our peril, we overlook the founders’ insight that the republic requires a moral people and the importance of faith in God - if not indispensable. Such faith may well flourish best without government support, but it should not have to flourish in the face of government hostility. On October 11, 1798  John Adams said:
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Picture
[1] Meaning of deist: Someone who believes in a single God who created the world, but does not act to influence events. US Presidents Thomas Jefferson & Abe Lincoln could be described as a Deist.

Scripture for Today, 6-16-24: Training Children

6-16-26, Happy Father’s Day, USA!
God has excellent instruction about training children in His Holy Word. They must be guided away from the natural sinful way they WOULD go, but in the way they SHOULD go. And as soon as possible every child should be led to the knowledge of the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. They should be taught what sin is - like lying; and that God won’t accept it; and the rod of corporal punishment is required for most disrespectful disobedient children.

Proverbs 6:6, 22:6,15; 23:13

Happy Memorial Day, USA, 5-27-24! Gettysburg Address

President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
November 19, 1863
The Civil War lasted from 1861-1865

Picture
On November 19, 1863 five years before the first "Decoration Day" [today's Memorial Day] the first Republican President Lincoln [Term: March 4, 1861 – April 15, 1865 [ delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Pennsylvania his iconic:

GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
"We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
​

"But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we can not consecrate —we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

​"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
"It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
​"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.

"That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. --

5-26-24, Timeless message on USA Memorial Day from the late great Rev Billy Graham. A decade and a half before Memorial Day became a USA federal holiday [1971], in Boston Billy Graham delivered a memorial address to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The year was 1955 he said: 

"Thousands of soldiers in all the wars that America has fought, purchased by their blood the freedoms that we enjoy today in “the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” 

These battlefields of the world today are hallowed and holy to every American, and we pause to give them our highest honors, humbly realizing the sacred trust that these, our war dead, have handed to us. 
Through the Lord Jesus Christ Who died for sinners, thousands today are finding a fresh, 
new meaning of life through Him. They're learning to say with confidence,

 This is the description of a virtuous woman and mother. These attributes equally suit every age and nation. She esteems her husband and protects and nurtures her children. She can be trusted, she makes it her constant business to do her husband good. She does what she does, with all her power, and trifles not - her children call her blessed.

There’s no joy in a family like that when children are born again in Christ; when a child is truly converted to the Savior the Lord Jesus Christ. There is nothing that would give more peace to the dying Christian parent, than to be able to leave the world with the assurance that all her children will have eternal life with the Lord.

Enthusiasm for the St. Patrick’s Day continues and parades are held in many USA cities; but in 2020 and 2021 the first time parades were canceled because of the COVID-19 virus - they returned in 2022.

During his lifetime St. Patrick was never actually canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. This was primarily because such a process did not exist when he died in A.D. 461. It wasn’t until 993 that St. Ulrich of Augsburg became the first official saint seen by humans as overseen by the Pope. However, many consider Patrick to hold saintly status.

​Among the legends associated with St. Patrick is that he stood atop an Irish hillside and banished snakes from Ireland—prompting all serpents to slither away into the sea.

Valentine’s Day History
2-14-24, * -- In 278 AD Rome, Emperor Claudius banned marriage for his soldiers based on his hypothesis that unmarried men were better soldiers than married soldiers.
Enter Christian priest Father Valentine who defied Claudius and secretly marrying young lovers. However, on February 14, 278 AD Father Valentine was prosecuted for this deed of love; he was beaten, stoned and finally executed by beheading.
Almighty God has given mankind the wonderful gift of human love and sexuality that is blessed by God in one man and one woman marriage. However, don't be surprised if after being married awhile the 'gushing' love that you have for someone changes to something less "gushing." Regardless, honor your vows be kind to one another - stay married!

10-31-23, God fearing people shouldn't participate in what America calls 'Halloween' - it's of the devil. Making jokes and dressing up as a witch or devil isn't funny. It's opening the door to evil. God's word​ clearly proclaims such practices have ancient foundation associated with the dead, evil demons and the worship of Satan. Resist the devil and he will flee from you!

Colonies Before Freedom from England

History of the Colonies and the Revolutionary War with England
Britain Ruled the Colonies for 176 years
From 1607 to 1783

The opening of the 17th century found three countries — France, Spain and England — contending for dominion in North America. Of these England in 1607 finally took control of the beginnings of what is now the United States.​ 
***
In September 1620 some 100 people [aka Pilgrims] had been outlaws in England because they were members of an underground church known as the Brownists or Separatists. They believed church should be a voluntary community rather than a compulsory state religion. For their refusal to submit to the Church of England, they faced raids, prison, exile and death.  So, they set sail on the Mayflower - landing on the shores of Cape Cod MA November 21, 1620. [1]
***

Declaration of Independence occurred in 1776, but the Revolutionary War with England lasted eight years 1775-1783. [2] [3] Therefore, England ruled what's now the USA from 1607 to 1783 = 176 years before England was ousted.
Picture
On June 17, 1775 the Revolution’s first major battle "Bunker Hill" occurred when the Second Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia. Delegates including new additions Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson — voted to form a Continental Army, with George Washington as its commander in chief. The colonial forces inflicted heavy casualties on the British regiment of General William Howe at Breed’s Hill in Boston. The engagement, known as the Battle of Bunker Hill in Boston MA, ended in British victory, but lent encouragement to the revolutionary cause. [2]
***
End of War and Treaty with England
Date: September 3, 1783, Participants: France, Spain. United Kingdom and United States
It was called "Peace of Paris" a collection of treaties concluding the American Revolution and signed in Paris by representatives of Great Britain, the United States, France and Spain. By the terms of the U.S.-Britain treaty, Britain recognized the independence of the United States with generous boundaries to the Mississippi River, but retained Canada. Access to the Newfoundland fisheries was guaranteed to Americans and navigation of the Mississippi was to be open to both Great Britain and the United States. [4]
***
So, the 'Declaration' was ratified in 1776, but England wasn't ousted until 1783.

Picture
Following the American Revolutionary War, Evacuation Day on November 25 marks the day in 1783 when the last vestige of King George III of England had any authority in the United States his troops departed from Manhattan, New York. After this British evacuation, General George Washington triumphantly led the Continental Army through the city. 

Reportedly, the last shot of the war was from a British gunner on one of the departing ships fired a cannon at jeering crowds gathered on the shore of Staten Island, at the mouth of New York Harbor (the shot fell well short of the shore). [5]

A Declaration of Independence

Written By Thomas Jefferson, with edits by the Committee of Five, The Second Continental Congress. A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America in General Congress Assembled, 28 June 1776 - Adopted July 4, 1776.

In Congress, July 4, 1776

"The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
 
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. 
Picture
The history of the present King of Great Britain [GEORGE III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
  • He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
  • He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
  • He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
  • He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
  • He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
  • He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
  • He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
  • He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
  • He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
  • He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
  • He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
  • He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
    • For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
    • For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
    • For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
    • For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
    • For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
    • For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
    • For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
    • For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
    • For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
  • He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
  • He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
  • He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
  • He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
  • He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Picture
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
 
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
 
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.

​And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

1955, *  --  We pay tribute to those American soldiers who poured out their full measure of devotion upon the altar of freedom. Recently when President Eisenhower toured the Battlefield at Valley Forge and was being shown from one historic spot to another, at the conclusion of the tour he said: “This is where they got it for us.” What did he mean? He meant that those men and thousands of others in all the wars that America has fought, purchased by their blood the freedoms that we enjoy today in “the land of the free, and the home of the brave.”  Battlefields of the world today are hallowed and holy to every American, and we pause to give them our highest honors, humbly realizing the sacred trust that these, our war dead, have handed to us.
Even though the sacrifices of our war dead have been great, yet the greatest sacrifice of all time was made by the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ Who not only physically but spiritually fought that all  mankind might live. It seemed like a futile, hopeless struggle as He took on Satan’s task force single-handed. The jeers of the rabble, the spittle of the soldiers and the sneering of the people were incidental compared to the inner struggle which was taking place in His soul. I watch Him, in fancy, as one hand is stretched out toward God and the other toward rebellious man, and He makes the connection and says: “It is finished.” He got through for us! We have neglected Him too long! John 15:13

MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL-CONGRESSIONAL COMPLEX?
History.com [here] -- Some have claimed that USA Republican General and President Dwight Eisenhower intended to say “military-industrial-congressional complex,” [no he didn't] in order to explicitly call out Congress for its role in the growth of the military industry, but that he struck out the final term at the last minute to avoid offending lawmakers. However, according to James Ledbetter, author of Unwarranted Influence: Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Military-Industrial Complex =>
<= evidence shows otherwise: A draft of the speech dated almost a month before it was delivered included the phrase “military-industrial complex” intact.
It was clear Eisenhower and his advisers did see at least some members of Congress playing a role in the dangers the military-industrial complex posed to the public.
Eisenhower and his fellow conservatives also viewed the growth of the military-industrial complex as part of a broader expansion of federal power that began with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal.

Scripture for Today, 5-14-23: Jesus' Mother & John

5/14/2023

Why did Jesus entrust His Mother to the apostle John instead of His half brothers?

5-14-23, * — When Jesus was on the cross, both the apostle John and His Mother Mary stood nearby. In John 19:26–27 “When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved (John) nearby, he said to her, ‘Woman, here is your son,’ and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ From that time on John took her into his home.”

Mary was probably a widow at this point because we don’t hear more of Joseph. Though she had four other sons -listed in Matthew 13:55 (blood half brothers James, Joses, Simon, Jude - Joseph was their father) why did the Lord chose John to provide care for Mary after He was gone? Well, it’s important that Jesus’ brothers did not become believers until after His resurrection (John 7:5). Apparently, His brothers were not even present at His crucifixion. Jesus entrusted Mary to John, who was a faithful believer, was present and He trusted him more.
​
The beauty of John 19:26–27 is reflected in the care Jesus had for His mother, clearly teaching the importance of caring for widows; something Jesus personally applied during His final hours of His earthly ministry. James, the half-brother of Jesus, later recorded such care for widows is “pure religion.” “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…” (James 1:27). And Jesus repeated the command to honor parents. Matthew 18:19; Mark 10:19

History of Scottish Song "Auld Lang Syne"
Five Minute Video here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9uQncR-L50
In the 1780s the song 'Auld Lang Syne' was written by Robert Burns and today has annually become an anthem sung the world over at New Year's Eve. T
he song is all about preserving old friendships and looking back over the events of the year evoking a sense of belonging, fellowship and nostalgia. It's long been a much-loved Scottish tradition to sing the song just before midnight...
Everyone stands in a circle holding hands, then at the beginning of the final verse ('And there's a hand my trusty friend') they cross their arms across their bodies so that their left hand is holding the hand of the person on their right and their right hand holds that of the person on their left. When the song ends, everyone rushes to the middle, still holding hands and probably giggling.
Most people only know the first verses; following in entirety:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne.
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne,
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus
We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne.
Chorus
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,

Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.
Chorus
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right guid willy waught,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And long, long ago.
Chorus
And for long, long ago, my dear
For long, long ago,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For long, long ago
And surely youll buy your pint-jug!
And surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For long, long ago.
Chorus
We two have run about the hills
And pulled the daisies fine;
But we've wandered manys the weary foot
Since long, long ago.
Chorus
We two have paddled in the stream,
From morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
Since long, long ago.
Chorus
And there's a hand, my trusty friend!
And give us a hand of yours!
And we'll take a deep draught of good-will
For long, long ago.
Chorus
