6-29-21 The Solution to Violent Crime

Daily Jot: The solution to violent crime - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Democrats are taking heat for the uptick in homicides and crime. They need to be held accountable after decimating police forces in the cities they lead and going soft on criminals. Think about how many stories we have read about the Biden Administration and, quite frankly, Democratic state governors, releasing criminals back into society, only to see them back in court for even worse crimes. So now we have a problem of rising crime and the Democrats not wanting to take responsibility for the, quite frankly, stupid ideas they implemented without any concept of the consequences. Once again, it’s a gun problem. Their mantra: If we just take guns away from people, violent crime will cease. This is insane. The cities and states with the most stringent gun controls this side of third world dictatorships have the highest violent crime rates, especially when they defund the police. Taking guns away from law-abiding citizens is only going to put those citizens at higher risk. It’s proven over and over again that criminals will have guns and they will use them. The idea of gun control and defunding police is a recipe for higher crime. Yet, we have the news media, liberal politicians and a President that insist the issue is one of guns. A western movie in the 60s once explained that a gun is neither evil or good, it’s the person using the gun that determines how that weapon is used. And therein is the problem. Liberal politicians are high on control and low on accountability. Everybody has their excuse, their sad story as to why they are the way they are. Oh, they are poor so they can’t be held by the same standards. Oh, the standards were made by a white majority so others should not be held accountable to those standards. Oh, if guns weren’t available, there would be no gun crime. The same worn out excuses expecting a different result. But what are we to expect? Government schools are focused on teaching social victimization, sexual orientation, revisionist history and leftist politics cloaked as science instead of responsibility, accountability, good citizenship, discernment, along with reading, writing and arithmetic. Want to reduce crime? Teach values instead of victimization. Teach respect for the law, and for those enforcing it. Teach people how to pull themselves out of poverty and help them do it, instead of blaming their situation on someone else and establishing generational welfare. What about bringing the Ten Commandments back to school and into the households? Exodus 20:12-17: Honor your father and your mother; Thou shalt not murder; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness; and thou shalt not covet. All of these commandments are essential to preventing violent crime—all of them. Yet we have a bunch of politicians who want to ignore that character counts because they think the gun is the reason for the crime.

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...
