The Hate Is Real

I recently posted on a couple of different pro-Israel groups’ Facebook pages. Mind you, these were PRO Israel, not ANTI Israel.

Why do I make that distinction? Because wouldn’t it make sense for normal people to visit the sites promoting the ideals and hobbies they like, not the things they hate?

Of course, it would!

But out of the hundreds of comments I received (or others who commented received), many, many were the vilest representations of humanity. And of course, most if not all of them were people who were members of the page.

Is it just that I am not as passionate about what I believe in? Should I actively search out Facebook groups and TikTok accounts that hate Israel and Jews and harass them with personal, derogatory, ad hominin attacks?

Is it wrong that I do not go to other pages and forums to leave comments full of absurd lies and accusations?

Would my purposes best be served if I were to visit “Humanitarian Friends of Israel-Hating Anti-Zionist Jihadis” and leave comments like this?

“You c— sucking, mother f—— tw–! How can you be breathing and still support such a g–d— murderous, child-raping, group of Nazis? Go to hell, you sick stupid bastard! You’re full of hot sh-t!!! Why don’t you go F–K your sick self!”

That’s just it. As much as I might disagree with someone, I would never speak (or write) that way.

And why is that?

Because people that write comments like that are full of hate, not simply passion. They have crossed a line over which sane discourse cannot cross. They have blinded their own eyes with self-imposed darkness and let Evil provide guidance.

A wise [man] feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. – Proverbs 14:16
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. – Proverbs 17:7
[It is] an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. – Proverbs 20:3

But don’t think I’m always going to respond softly and gently. There are times when reproof is called for, while others aren’t worth casting pearls before swine.

Yes, swine. I wonder if Jesus was thinking ahead at that moment, at how much of an insult that would eventually be if spoken of pro-Palestine apologists?

Nah. Jesus was too nice to say insulting things to people who hated him. It’s not like he called people serpents or whitewashed tombs, or anything. Right?

One thing is for sure; He never wasted his time starting worthless arguments on social media.

Islam Is a Religion and That Matters

I know it’s controversial, but it needs to be said.

I’m attaching a video I just uploaded this morning. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good effort and at least a start.

Should you watch it, understand that the purpose is to warn America that without a common soul, a common sense of identity worth defending, Islam will most certainly destroy Western civilization.

If you can, leave a like and comment directly on YouTube. It helps.

But here is also good 🙂

I Need a Lawyer!

Speed Trap

Do you know what a “speed trap” is? Just so we can all be on the same page (or road), let me ‘splain it to you, Lucy.

Wherever you are in the world, if you have an automobile and go anywhere, I’m sure you’ve experienced a speed limit. Somewhere, usually in a visible place beside the roadway, there will be a sign on which is written the speed limit for that stretch of road.

Tracking with me so far?

However, sometimes you will come upon a stretch of road where the speed limit changes abruptly. That’s not unreasonable, especially when conditions demand it.

But when a wide stretch of interstate goes down from 65 or 70mph to 50mph without warning or graduation, THAT’S the definition of a speed trap. And that’s typically where a policeman or state trooper will park their cars and wait for unsuspecting motorists.

Caught In the Trap

You know where this is going, don’t you? Yep, I got caught in a speed trap last week.

It all happened on a stretch of interstate highway I75 in Tennessee, just above the border with Georgia. Come to find out, about a quarter mile into Tennessee, the speed limit drops to 50mph.

Yes, 50mph. On an interstate!

It’s a trap because, yes, there are posted signs, but that kind of speed is so unusual on that kind of roadway, when you see them, your brain ignores them! At best, a quick-thinking brain has to go through extra cognitive steps to process it.

Do you know how fast people here in the South drive on highways through Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee? No? We don’t either!

The way to stay alive when driving through downtown Atlanta or Nashville, for example, is NOT to obey the posted speed limit. If you do, you’ll likely cause an accident, shut down the highway, and be hated for eternity. NO, you go with the flow of traffic, just like all the other speeders.

So, when I was going from Georgia to Tennessee on I75, I wasn’t really paying attention to the exact speed limit. However, I didn’t think for a moment I was exceeding what was a safe speed – it’s what everyone else was doing.

How fast was I going? More than 50, allegedly.

Legal Help Needed

That’s why I need a lawyer. That’s why I need someone to represent me, to go with me, to stand before the judge in front of me. I need a defender, one who argues my case on my behalf, so that the full weight of the law is not dropped on my head.

Fact is I may have broken the law. The consequences of my alleged offense could be serious should the judge show no mercy.

But if someone comes along on my behalf, someone known and respected by the Court, and that person manages to convince the judge to find a way to avoid serious consequences, I might only receive a small fine, if found guilty, and a warning.

But it won’t be free. Legal help can get expensive. However, the long-term effects of a big speeding ticket could cost a lot more.

My Greatest Defender

What really brought me to the computer, though, was not a grievance—it was gratefulness.

Here I am facing a potential fine and points on my driving record (as of now I have none). And because of the points there could be other ramifications. But all that being said, at least I know I’m not going to Hell.

That’s right! No eternal damnation for me! How’s that, you ask? Because I have the greatest defense Attorney in the entire universe!

Jesus! (see 1 John 2:1-2)

He is like no other!

For one thing, Jesus knows my whole story. He knows me like no other. But more than that, He knows the Judge. They are actually just alike 😉

Secondly, unlike the lawyer I am going to hire, Jesus paid the price, the debt I owed for my transgressions. He doesn’t negotiate a lower fine; He paid the highest fine possible!

What we read in 1 John 1:2 is that Jesus became the “propitiation” for my sin. In other words, He didn’t just pay my fine and accept my punishment, He literally was the payment!

And you know the greatest part of all?

He did the same for you, too!

1 John 2:2 (KJV) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.

Oh, and unlike the lawyer that hopefully will handle my case, we don’t have to pay Jesus for his services—it’s a gift by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9).

Even His retainer is good for eternity.

Christian Democrats: Balancing Faith and Politics

Preface

Before we go any further, understand that I am writing primarily to those who identify as both Christian AND Democrat. You can be one or the other, or you can be both, but it’s really intended for those who claim Jesus as Lord and the Democrat Party of the United States as their political camp.

Also, it is not my intention to discuss whether or not a true Christian can be a Democrat. How one decides to vote is completely up to him. As we often say, it’s a free country.

Are You Really a Christian?

So, let’s start with the most basic question. Are you really a Christian?

Don’t try to skirt the question. Don’t try to redirect. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to answer in the simplest of terms. It’s either a “yes” or a “no.”

If you are already feeling the need to qualify your answer for fear of offending someone or getting cancelled, I see a big, red flag.

If you are a Christian, you are a follower of the historical crucified-and-risen Jesus Christ. It means you have believed Him to be the Son of God, the Word of God made flesh, and the Redeemer of your soul. It means you identify with Christ and seek to become more like Him.

You are NOT a genuine Christian if you believe all it takes is to be born in America and eat at Chik-fil-a. If you would like to be sure, please refer to my article.

What Christians Do

Only God knows your heart, but if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, then you naturally want to obey His commands If you are a Christian, becoming more like Jesus is a natural process of spiritual maturity that can be seen by all.

But what about government? What about those in authority over us? Does the Bible have anything to say about how a Christian should address those that occupy the White House?

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity–the man Christ Jesus. – 1 Timothy 2:1-5 NLT

So that leads me to the main point of writing: Do you pray for President Donald J. Trump?

What Democrats Do

It takes no effort at all to find those who hate Donald Trump. It’s not only Democrats, but also some Republicans. There’s even a name for the level of pathological hatred that has consumed the Democrat Party and leftists of all stripes for the past decade. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Democrats HATE Trump. Democrats HATE him more than they love America.

Before Trump became President, the Democrats said something needed to be done about the border, illegal drugs, violent crime, and a nuclear-equipped Iran. The moment Trump addressed these issues, Democrats; took the side illegal aliens; condemned the use of force against murderous drug cartels; labeled our police as terrorists; and defended the sovereign rights of those sworn to our destruction.

When Trump is for it, the Democrats are against it. When he condemns it, they praise it. It’s as predictable as rain.

What a Christian Democrat SHOULD Do

Do I even need to say it? Isn’t it obvious by now? If you call yourself a Christian, regardless of party affiliation, Jesus demands you submit to authority, pray for your enemies, love your neighbor, and even if he is a king, pray for your President.

As it is, rampant, illogical, and a seething hatred for Donald Trump that defies all reason is the motivating force behind everything the Democrat Party does. And it is not just the Party, per se. It is the rank-and-file Democrat, too!

Friend, if you cannot find any good in President Trump, yet you can see the positives in people like Bill Clinton, Hugo Chaves, trans school shooters, and Luigi Mangione, then your hate has blinded your heart and seared your common sense.

Love, Not Hate

Before I finish, may I remind you that Scripture is very clear about something?

Are you familiar with the concept of knowing people “by their fruit”? If so, there is a list of “fruit” which every real Christian who follows Jesus should produce. They are called the “fruits of the Spirit” because they are supernaturally produced by the Holy Spirit in the Christian’s life.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. – Galatians 5:22-23 KJV

It is really pretty simple. If you are a Christian, you should exhibit fruit that is commensurate with a changed heart. If you are a Christian Democrat, then you should be a Democrat who exhibits the same fruit.

Hate is a bitter fruit. A bitter fruit, indeed.

15 Signs You’re Not from Minnesota

I’m Giving In

Before I started recording on YouTube, I did a lot more writing.

And before I started creating content for video, I used to tackle issues of the day on a more regular basis.

Neither one of my YouTube channels have a format open to my thoughts on current events and complicated social issues. They are geared either to Bible study and/or preaching or watch-related material.

Nonetheless, here I can say what I really think. Here I am free to express my feelings more freely and with transparent honesty.

So, I am now giving in to the call of the commentary starved. Yes, even though nobody has asked for my opinion, I’m going to give it. How else are those hungry for more opinions going to survive?

The Crazies

Why is it that most of the country can look at what is going on in the State of Minnesota and see what those living there can’t? Do they not realize that they are becoming the very definitions of every kind of crazy one can think of?

Have you ever heard of the term “Walmartian”? That’s not Wal-Martian, like a price saving alien from Mars. No, it’s a name that has been given to the most stereotypical examples of Wal-Mart shoppers whose water has been tainted for generations.

You know a Walmartian when you see a Wal-Mart shopper that causes you to look away, then look back, then look away again only to tell your neighbor to look without looking. They ain’t normal.

Well, it seems that we have found the source of the polluted gene pool from which Walmartians drink – it’s Minnesota.

How to Tell You Are Not from Minnesota (and probably not a Crazy)

Early in my life I was little embarrassed of my country/hillbilly/redneck upbringing in the mountains of Tennessee. However, eventually I grew up and out of the culturally imposed shame. Now, because of Minnesota, I am thrilled to know where my ancestors copulated!

But how do I know none of my forefathers and foremothers ever drank of the same polluted water that’s obviously quenching the thirst of screeching gender-confused protesters out west? Easy!

Here are 15 Things I DO NOT DO that prove I, nor my America-loving ancestors, never came from Minnesota.

I do not support relocating pirates to my hometown.
I have never had the desire nor inclination to change my hair color to pink, purple, or blue.
I do not consume illegal substances.
I do not hire unsavory individuals to tattoo my face with offensive images or language.
I do not put myself in harm’s way by intentionally entering into the danger zone where law enforcement officers are attempting to arrest a known criminal.
I do not harbor criminals, nor do I assist them in fleeing from law enforcement.
I do not threaten to start a second Civil War when I know how the first one turned out.
I do not enter places of worship claiming it is my right to interfere with the rights of others.
I do not use my vehicle to block roads.
I do not use my vehicle as a weapon against law enforcement.
I do not spit on other people, especially those who are allowed by law to use deadly force when threatened.
I do not get into fights with police.
I do not hate capitalism and propose to “tear down the system.”
I do not have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
I do not think Hillary Clinton should have been President.

I could have kept going, but the list would be too long to read in one sitting. Just know that what I didn’t include are automatically covered because I bathe regularly, worship a biblical Jesus, and have job that does not include community organizing.

So, Minnesota has been on my mind. Thankfully, I still have enough IQ points not deducted by listening to Tampon Tim and Ilhan Omar.

If you want to know a little bit more about being a follower of Jesus Christ, check out The Humble Word.

If you would like to follow my watch collecting journey and learn more about watches, then go to my channel called The Humble Horologist.

Thanks!

Is Kim Davis Being Hypocritical?

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, dear reader! What a beautiful day to tackle a current story in the news!

Oh, and speaking of tackle, did you see the video of the USC (college football) punter who instead of punting threw a first down? Talk about faking out the competition! Instead of the player who WAS the punter, a third-string quarterback subbed in with the punter’s jersey and fooled everyone – until he rifled the football. Beautiful.

But speaking of beautiful, there’s the four-time bride Kim Davis, former county clerk in Kentucky. If you don’t remember who she is, back in 2015 she refused to sign the marriage certificates for same sex couples, even though the law had made it legal. After an emotionally-damaged gay couple from Rowan County sued Kim Davis for denying them a blissful union, the courts demanded that Ms. Davis pay the smartly dressed couple $360,000 in damages and attorney fees.

The current story is that Kim Davis is seeking to have the Supreme Court overturn her fine, and by extension, overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. What are her arguments for doing this? WHO CARES? She has no moral ground from which to appeal her case because . . . wait for it . . . she has been divorced.

That’s right, folks. Just because the ravishing Kim Davis found a way to seduce for different men into marrying her (and three to leave), she therefore must have no respect for the legitimacy of marriage and shouldn’t be lecturing others about it.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

So, let’s see if I am understanding this correctly. Let’s start with Kim Davis.

Kim Davis is a confessing Christian. She believes that God made men and women and only men and women should get married. She believes this so strongly that she chose to go to jail rather than go against her religious beliefs and put her signature on a same-sex county-issued marriage certificate.

“But Kim Davis has been divorced three times! She’s now married to her fourth husband!” you protest. Yes, that’s the truth. But does that mean she has no moral ground from which to launch an attack on gay marriage? Does her poor choice in men (or the poor vision and shortsightedness of these men) nullify her religious beliefs? Does her participation in the destruction of three marriages mean that, in actuality, she doesn’t believe what she preaches?

Some say, “Yes!” To those people, particularly those attacking Kim Davis in the media, let me ask YOU some questions.

Do you believe there should be speed limits in our neighborhoods? Then why to you speed in your car?
Do you believe it is wrong to lie? Did you say you never go over the speed limit?
Do you believe we should not objectify women? Then why do you change your appearance to that of a stereotypical caricature of 1950’s feminism?
Do you believe that marriage is just a construct of society, morals and values are relative to context, and sexual deviancy is nothing more than a than a term created by religious zealots? Then why do you judge another person’s moral standards and why is changing the definition of marriage such a big deal?

It’s only me thinking out loud, I suppose. I just don’t understand how one’s substandard living nullifies the standard by which one judges.

Ironically, one of the first evangelists, if I’m not mistaken, was a woman who was married five times and the man she was living with at the time was not her husband (so said Jesus).

The Real Problem with the Problem of Pain (Video Version)

Greetings, everyone. And that means all you people in China who keep visiting my website (or the bots that still need Jesus).

Today (actually tonight) I FINALLY finished the video version of a post I wrote several years ago.

Please, if you can spare a few moments, please watch it – I could really use the views 🙂

But also, please watch it and let me know what you think of the video as a whole. I am trying to improve the content I put out, so your feedback would really help me.

God bless you all,
Anthony

Welfare or Warfare: When Hate Overwhelms Common Decency

They Took an Oath

Please understand, this is not intended to be a political rant, only a thinking-out-loud kind of thing. That being said, I did some quick research and found texts of the oaths of office taken by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzger.

The oath taken by Mayor Brandon Johnson on May 15, 2023 reads:

“I, Brandon Johnson, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Mayor of the City of Chicago according to the best of my ability.”

The Illinois Constitution (Article XIII, Section 3) prescribes the oath for all state officers, including the Governor:

“I do solemnly swear (affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of [Governor] to the best of my ability.”

What I find interesting is that in neither oath is there anything that specifically states that the one swearing will look after the safety and best interests of their constituents. Granted, that should be assumed if they are taking oaths to uphold state and national constitutions. However, constitutional law can be debated, even the intentions of those who wrote them.

So, what’s my point?

It would seem that the President of the United States sending in National Guard troops to GUARD the safety of other citizens trying to carry out their sworn duties would be a good thing. Those troops are not being sent to patrol the streets and enforce Martial Law; they are being sent to protect law enforcement from other citizens who are intent on disrupting or even harming them.

Therefore, it would seem that the best interest of the people the elected officials are sworn to serve would include the enforcement of civility and safety, not further resistance to law and order.

In other words, it seems to me that JD Pritzger and Brandon Johnson resent President Trump, even hate him, more than they care about civility and the rule of law. I would dare say that their personal disdain for the leadership of the President “trumps” the welfare of those they swore to serve.

Maybe oaths of office should include language that’s a little less debatable and a lot more enforceable. Specifically, the oaths should include language like: “I solemnly swear to make sure the safety and welfare of the people I serve, regardless of political affiliation, carries infinitely more weight than my petty political pet peeves I have with others.”

Just my opinion, of course.
