Daily Jot: What the? - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
 
The midterm elections are only a couple of weeks away and they appear to be among the strangest ever. On one side there are a bunch of candidates who are just plain bizarre. The other side is talking about the improved economy, how people have jobs now more than ever before, laws are being enforced, America is not being taken advantage of in its foreign policy, allies of America are being treated fairly, and enemies of America are taking their rightful hits. Seems like, one side of the political aisle is sane by at least traditional standards. Let's look at the other side and see if it makes any ethical, moral, economic or personal sense, or if you just scratch your head and say, "What the?"
 
Pretty much the entire certain political party joined in on a "guilty until proven innocent" mantra in parading out false accusers of a Supreme Court nominee, sucking all the air out of the news cycle for weeks about sexual conduct charges that had no evidence behind them. The party also gave incredible credence to a lawyer for the pornography industry who claimed his clients were also sexually molested and had sex parties with the nominee during his college years. Did it ever occur to anyone that the pornography business is among the most illicit in the world and turns a profit on the sexual exploitation of women? How does an entire political party accuse someone without evidence of sexual misconduct AND use the porn industry for corroboration? What the?
 
A certain party favors illegal immigration and ignores the national security risk of the 7,000-strong caravan in Mexico that is attempting to invade the US. A certain party in Texas pre-marked voter application forms with the affirmative of being a citizen and eligible to vote, and mailed them to illegal aliens. Another certain state party in New Hampshire is supporting a judge's decision to overturn a law that required proof of residency for voters registered within 30 days of the election. An incumbent Missouri senator from a certain party was caught on video saying why she hides her extreme liberal views from voters in her state. Another incumbent North Dakota senator from a certain party ran an ad to justify her vote against the Supreme Court nominee, and outed victims of sexual assault and domestic violence without their permission. What the?
 
This same certain party has nothing to say about making the country better. It has a lot to say about its support of abortion, its opposition to traditional marriage, its support of all sorts of sexual orientation "rights," and about redistribution of wealth and raising taxes to support its outrageous ideas. It would seem that any self-respecting American, and any self-respecting Christian American, would look into these things and ask "Why on earth would I ever vote for anyone who aligns themselves with this nonsense?" Romans 12:21 commands, "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." If you don't take responsibility for the good sense the Lord has given you by exercising your right to vote, don't be scratching your head and saying "What the?" when all the unethical, immoral, communists and anarchists take control.

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
