All the Devil does is…steal…kill & destroy.  And, where the Devil leads, Donald Trump’s rotten ass is sure to follow.

On March 14, 2020…NBC New York reports… “The state of New York has more than 500 cases, jumping by more than 100 since Friday; most of the cases are in NYC and Westchester.  Thirty people in New York City were hospitalized due to the novel coronavirus as of Saturday afternoon, 19 of whom were in intensive care, de Blasio noted.”    

On March 14, 2020…the New York Times reports… “We are not prepared to deal with a rapid and severe surge of patients — we’re just not,” said Dr. Christopher M. Tedeschi, a longtime emergency physician and assistant professor at the Columbia University Medical Center. “We’re sort of planning for what’s going on right now, and we’re trying to make up for lost time, but I’m not sure we’re planning for a month from now, or even two weeks from now.”

During a teleconference on March 14, 2020…New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo…said New York City has seen its first coronavirus-related death (82-year old woman with emphysema, contracted the novel coronavirus).  Governor Cuomo also told us that the number of positive cases in the state of New York had increased to 524.

The New York Post reported on March 14, 2020… “New York’s “numbers are spiking because our testing capacity is going up,” Cuomo said Friday, adding New Yorkers will see 1,000 more cases next week.”

O.k…

So, how did we get here???

(courtesy NBC News & 680 News)

At the end of last year, dozens of folks started getting sick in China…with a mysterious illness that resembled pneumonia…but, wasn’t pneumonia.  Symptoms included…high fever, coughing, difficulty breathing and lung lesions.  Chinese officials didn’t have a clue about this new illness. China linked the illness to having its origins in a Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province in China.  

On December 31, 2019…Wuhan, China…government officials put out a statement saying, in part…  “After receiving the report, the Municipal Health and Health Commission immediately launched a case search and retrospective investigation related to South China Seafood City in the city’s medical health institutions. Twenty-seven cases have been found, of which 7 are in serious condition, and the remaining cases are stable and controllable. Two patients are expected to be discharged in the near future. The clinical manifestations of the cases were mainly fever, a few patients had difficulty breathing, and chest radiographs showed bilateral lung infiltrative lesions. At present, all cases have been isolated for treatment, follow-up investigations and medical observations of close contacts are ongoing, and hygiene investigations and environmental sanitation disposals for South China Seafood City are ongoing.”

On January 20, 2020…the World Health Organization (WHO)…makes the following statements:

 “On 31 December 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. From 31 December 2019 through 3 January 2020, a total of 44 case-patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology were reported to WHO by the national authorities in China. During this reported period, the causal agent was not identified.”

“On 11 and 12 January 2020, WHO received further detailed information from the National Health Commission China that the outbreak is associated with exposures in one seafood market in Wuhan City.”

“As of 20 January 2020, 282 confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV have been reported from four countries including China (278 cases), Thailand (2 cases), Japan (1 case) and the Republic of Korea (1 case).”

“Cases in Thailand, Japan and Republic of Korea were exported from Wuhan City, China.”

“Among the 278 cases confirmed in China, 258 cases were reported from Hubei Province, 14 from Guangdong Province, five from Beijing Municipality and one from Shanghai Municipality; ZIKA VIRUS Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) SITUATION REPORT –  21 JANUARY 2020.”

“Of the 278 confirmed cases, 51 cases are severely ill, 12 are in critical condition; Six deaths have been reported from Wuhan City.”

-***-

So, even as of January 20, 2020…the World Health Organization (WHO) is telling us that the virus is spreading out of China…into other countries. 

On January 21, 2020…the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Washington State Department of Health announced the first case of “coronavirus” (COVID-19) in the United States, in Washington State.

Now…

Back in China, the virus starts spreading rapidly…from person to person…& folks start dying.  Transmission of coronavirus appears to be more widespread than the flu. The World Health Organization states… “The reproductive number – the number of secondary infections generated from one infected individual – is understood to be between 2 and 2.5 for COVID-19 virus, higher than for influenza. However, estimates for both COVID-19 and influenza viruses are very context and time-specific, making direct comparisons more difficult.” NPR reports on January 23, 2020… “As of early afternoon, cars were still allowed to exit Wuhan, the epicenter of a rapidly growing outbreak of a coronavirus that has sickened 830 people within China and killed 25, according to health authorities.  Wuhan’s public health authorities say they are in a “state of war” as they quarantine the Chinese city in an attempt to halt the spread of a never-before-seen strain of coronavirus.”

Let’s keep going…

On January 30, 2020… the World Health Organization (WHO)…declares the coronavirus to be a “World Health Emergency.”  On January 30, 2020, the New York Times reports… “The World Health Organization declared a global health emergency on Thursday as the coronavirus outbreak spread well beyond China, where it emerged last month. Since then, there have been thousands of new cases in China and clear evidence of human-to-human transmission in several other countries, including the United States.”

On February 3, 2020, a Princess cruise ship in Japan quarantined thousands after a man who disembarked in Hong Kong…tested positive for coronavirus. 

By the end of February 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) had sent out tests, for testing for the coronavirus, to almost 60 countries, not including the United States.  The United States refused to accept and use the World Health Organization’s tests.

O.k…

(source CDC)

With regards to confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States, on March 14, 2020…the New York Times reports… “As of Saturday afternoon, at least 2,443 people in 49 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico have tested positive for coronavirus in the United States, according to a New York Times database, and at least 50 patients with the virus have died.”

There are also confirmed cases in Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Since, March 14, 2020… I need to tell you that the numbers have jumped like crazy! 

The ten states with the highest numbers, right now…are as follows:

1. New York = 2382 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 1374)

2. Washington = 999 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 787)

3. California = 815 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 583)

4.  New Jersey = 1427 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 176)

5. Florida = 315 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 142)

6. Illinois = 288 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 105)

7. Louisiana = 257 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 171)

8. Massachusetts = 256 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 197)

9. Georgia = 197 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 121)

10. Colorado = 184 (yesterday, at 1:17 p.m. it was 161)

The above state tabulations are as of Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at 9:35 p.m.

Now, let’s talk about what Donald Trump’s administration has done & not done…in response to the coronavirus outbreak…from the jump…

O.k…I told you earlier that it was in late 2019…that Chinese folks started getting sick from a virus…that China had never seen before.   It mimicked some of the same symptoms as pneumonia…but, is not pneumonia.  On February 15, 2020… Foreign Policy reports… “…the epidemic came to the world’s attention in early January (2020)…”

On January 31, 2020…Donald Trump’s Administration…restricts travel from China. 

On February 2, 2020…Reuters reported… “Trump appeared to downplay concerns about the impact in the United States of the flu-like virus that has killed 350 people in China and spread to more than two dozen countries, telling Fox television in an interview, “We’re gonna see what happens, but we did shut it down, yes.””

Did you see what Trump said???

That dumb-ass Donald Trump said “we shut it down.”  Question???  How the hell do you shut down something when…you don’t have a ^%$#*^ clue about all the places it is…& how fast it’s spreading within those places???  This nut actually thought that restricting travel from China would shut down the impact of the coronavirus in the United States.  Well, we see how that worked out.  IT DIDN’T!

On February 28, 2020, at a campaign rally in North Charleston, South Carolina…Donald Trump described the coronavirus as being the “new hoax” of the Democrats.   He consistently tried to diminish the reality of this pandemic.

Question???  How can you see people getting sick…all over this country & other places like China, South Korea, France, Britain & Italy…with many dying…& have the arrogance & audacity to call it “a hoax???”

On Friday, March 5, 2020… Larry Kudlow, head of the National Economic Council, told CNBC that the coronavirus “looks relatively contained,”… adding that Americans should “stay at work.”

Question???  How the hell does Larry Kudlow know anything about the containment of the coronavirus when there has been hardly any testing done…regarding who has the virus and where these folks are???

Well…in response to all these “containment lies” …being spouted out by Trump & his evil ass minions…I say… “CONTAINED MY ASS!!!”

Let me tell you what the experts are saying about the coronavirus being contained…

On March 7, 2020, CNN reports… ““In the US it is the opposite of contained,” said Harvard University epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch, director of Harvard’s Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics. “It is spreading so efficiently in so many places that it may be difficult to stop.” “In my scientific opinion and based on the available information, the situation is not contained,” said Aubree Gordon, associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan.””

On Monday, 3/17/20, the Washington Post reports…  “Confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus jumped by nearly a third in just 24 hours — to 2,900 by Sunday, Vice President Pence announced. In Europe, Italy recorded its deadliest 24-hour period since its first cases emerged in late February — 368 deaths, up 25 percent from the previous day. That country’s death toll now exceeds 1,800.”

Now, the coronavirus is not being contained in the United States…in part, due to Donald Trump…over the past couple of years…dismantling the pandemic unit of the National Security Council & slashing funding for the U.S. government agencies that handle such crises.   The Business Insider reports… “…the Trump administration spent the past several years gutting the very government programs that are tasked with combating such a crisis. In 2018, for instance, the CDC cut 80% of its efforts to prevent global disease outbreaks because it was running out of money. Ultimately, the department went from working in 49 countries to just 10.”

Let’s keep going…

On March 14, 2020, ABC News reports… ““Public health and national security experts shake their heads when President Donald Trump says the coronavirus “came out of nowhere” and “blindsided the world.” They’ve been warning about the next pandemic for years and criticized the Trump administration’s decision in 2018 to dismantle a National Security Council directorate at the White House charged with preparing for when, not if, another pandemic would hit the nation.”

On March 14, 2020, Newsweek reports… “A former senior director of the National Security Council’s dissolved pandemic unit said its closure left the United States “less prepared” for the COVID-19 outbreak. Beth Cameron wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post that the Trump administration’s response to the novel coronavirus had been “slow and inadequate,” and suggested that the closure of the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense had contributed to its “sluggish” response.”

Another reason the coronavirus is not being contained in the United States is because there has been so much delay in getting folks tested.  How are you going to contain something if you don’t know who has it???  Who are you going to ask to self-quarantine if you don’t know…who is sick???

Now, part of the reason for that is this…  Donald Trump’s administration failed to get the tests…that were offered by the World Health Organization (WHO) back in February.   NO!…NO!…NO!…their diagnostic tests were not good enough.  NO!…the United States has to prove how great they are…by developing from scratch their own “coronavirus test”…even though the one issued by the World Health Organization had already been tried & tested…over & over again.   And…it worked.  It is a good diagnostic test which shows who has coronavirus…& who does not.  THAT’S ALL YOU WANT!!!

Maybe…somebody forgot to send the Centers of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) “Memo” which reads… “Don’t be a dumb-ass by trying to recreate a wheel…that has already been created.  You are doing nothing…but wasting a whole lot of got damn time…that sick folks…who may die…don’t have!”

Well, lo & behold…the test…eventually…created by the CDC…guess what??? Their test DIDN’T…work!  Soooooo…  Shit was back to square one…because their arrogant asses had refused to take the test (which was already proven to work) from the World Health Organization.

I’m sorry…I just have a v-e-e-e-e-ry low…tolerance for ignorant & arrogant folks…whose stupid ass decisions…needlessly cause sickness & death.  And, so does the Heavenly Father!

The Bible tells us…

“1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world…” (Philippians 2:1-15)

O.k…

On March 6, 2020, Politico reports… “The government’s incapacity to conduct widespread testing slowed diagnoses, creating chains of infection. It also deprived epidemiologists of a map that could have told them how far and how fast the virus was traveling and where they should concentrate efforts to slow it down.”

Now…

The degree that any testing is being done…is because “tests” have been created at the State and local governmental levels.  They have created tests…that work…despite, the delay…delay…& more damn delay…at the federal level. Trump’s administration has been saying…week in & week out… “next week, we will be sending out a million test.” Well, I have searched high & low…from the south pole to the north pole. And, when I talked to Santa & Rudolph…they looked at me… “square on”…& told me in no uncertain terms… “They didn’t have the damn tests!” So, there we go… “The million tests…have gone missing.” Seriously! Nobody asked Donald Trump & his minions…for that got damn lie! (Them…No good ^%$#*&^*)

Today, the New York Times reports that Italy has conducted 134,000 tests; South Korea has tested 274,000 people, while the United States has only tested 25,000 specimens (some specimens in this # could come from the same person who has been tested more than once).  Now, to put that in a proper context lets talk population sizes.   Italy has a population of approximately 60,487,062 folks.   South Korea has a population of approximately 51,256,628 folks. And, the United States has a population of 330,447,091 folks.   Do I need to say anything else…to make the point of how far behind the United States is…in terms of coronavirus testing???  I didn’t think so.

Now…

(courtesy of clipart library)

Truly…truly…only God knows…how many folks (thousands upon thousands) are walking around spreading coronavirus…without even knowing it.

You see…   With the coronavirus, you can spread it…if you have it…even though you may not be exhibiting any of the symptoms of it.  YES!  Coronavirus has like a four (4) to five (5) day incubation period.   And, it can be soooooooo lethal for older folks and folks with underlying medical issues. 

O.k…

It has only been very recently that Donald Trump’s administration has done anything significant…towards increasing the level of testing done in this country.  He signed a bill passed by Congress that puts over 8 billion dollars towards getting testing supplies, protecting frontline workers, paying for testing…etc.

And, you want to know why Trump went along with that???  Hint…it damn sure wasn’t because he was concerned about saving lives (well, with the exception of his own).   Since when does a worker of the Devil…give a damn about working for the greater good???

So, let me tell you what this is about for Trump…

Like I said…there is no doubt in my mind that Donald Trump’s weak ass response to the coronavirus outbreak…that everyone has known about since the beginning of January 2020…is due largely in part because he follows his father…the Devil.  And, the works of his father…he does!

(photo courtesy of wikipedia)

Over the past several weeks…with the coronavirus spreading throughout the country…the stock market has been like a roller coaster.  Up & down.  Up & down.  And, the down swings have gone so far down…that they have had to pull the emergency brakes during trading…a few times.  Meaning???  Meaning…  Shit went south…quick…on 3/16/20.   CNBC reported … “The wave of selling continued on Monday as stocks cratered with the Dow dropping nearly 13% for its worst day since Black Monday, and its largest point drop in history. The S&P 500 also posted its worst day since Oct. 1987, while the Russell 2,000 and Nasdaq Composite turned in their worst days on record. The selling was sharp and fast. Minutes after the open stocks dropped 8% , triggering a “circuit breaker” and a 15 minute halt in trading.”

So, you see…

Donald Trump has been solely concerned about the coronavirus’ impact on the economy…not, the impact that it is having…& will have…on human beings.   This ^%$#* cares about no one…I repeat…no one…but his rotten ass self.    He has placed all his political eggs, for getting re-elected, in the basket of having a good economy.  If the economy goes south…Trump is thinking… “My ass is gonna get kicked out of the White House.”   And, November 2020 is right around the corner. 

Remember, know your enemy & you will know what those bastards are up to.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that an enemy of the Heavenly Father gives a shit…about the Father or His children.   Workers of the Devil…like Donald Trump & his groveling ass minions, who faithfully do what he says…WILL NOT…look out for the well-being of God’s children.  They won’t!

So, in times of joy, as well as, through the trying times that we are in now…look to God, & not man…for your well-being & safety.  For, it is only the Heavenly Father who can protect us from the works & wiles of the Devil…not man.

YES…the coronavirus is spreading…like a wildfire…throughout the world.  And, YES…the coronavirus will continue to spread for the foreseeable future.   And, YES…thanks to the incompetence of Donald Trump’s administration…citizens of the United States will be more at risk than they had to be. More citizens of the United States will die…than had to.

But…the last time I checked…the Heavenly Father is STILL on His Throne!

So…

Have faith…& do not fear.  Fear does nothing…but, faith in God…MOVES MOUNTAINS! 

Remember, what God tells us…

“14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” (Matthew 17:14-21)

Beloved “Children of God” … seek God’s face…always.

Unless, Something Scares The Hell Out Of Republican Senators … Donald Trump’s Corrupt Ass Will Remain In The Office Of The U.S. Presidency. That Is…At Least For Now.

Posted on January 31, 2020 by iriswhiting

It is basically all over, BUT…the shouting, for the Senate Impeachment Trial regarding Donald Trump shaking down Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy.  Meaning??? THE FIX IS IN!!! Meaning…that, except for Mitt Romney (R-Utah), it appears that the other Republican Senators already had their minds made up about whether or not…Donald Trump…should be kicked out of office for holding up the aid to Ukraine.  And, make no mistake about it.   Their minds were NEVER leaning towards…holding Trump’s rotten ass accountable for the corrupt shit that he did.   Meaning…Republican Senator, Mitch McConnell, (Majority Leader of the United States Senate) knew how all the cards were going to be dealt…even before that sham…crappy ass, excuse for a trial…even began.   How do we know this???

Mitch McConnell 2016 official photo (cropped).jpg
(Senator Mitch McConnell)

Because…Mitch McConnell told us…himself…before the Senate Trial even started.   HE DIDN’T HIDE IT!  NOOOOOOOOO…he was too bold, with his shit…to hide anything.   And, here’s what he said.   On December 17, 2019, NPR reported what McConnell said… ““I’m not an impartial juror. This is a political process. There’s not anything judicial about it,” McConnell told reporters on Tuesday. “The House made a partisan political decision to impeach. I would anticipate we will have a largely partisan outcome in the Senate. I’m not impartial about this at all.””

Mmmmhhh…   He said, “I’m not impartial about this at all.”  This meant that no matter what case the “House Managers” presented to the Senate, to show that Donald Trump should be removed from office…Mitch McConnell…DOES NOT CARE!    GOT DAMN!   Mitch McConnell basically…peeked out, again, from under his wife’s dress (his wife works in Donald Trump’s administration) & told us…from the jump…that he was not removing Donald Trump…from the office of the Presidency…PERIOD!    

And, as if this is not bad enough.   This henchman…lap dog…lap turtle…whatever you want to call him…of Donald Trump…kept going.   Meaning???  Meaning, he pounded on every Republican Senator, to get them to stay their asses IN LINE…with HIS LINE…of thinking. 

Let’s keep going…

Then, to add insult to injury…Mitch McConnell also said…that in preparing for the Senate trial…he was coordinating every aspect of the Senate Trial…with the person who was the “subject” of the Senate Trial…DONALD TRUMP!   WHAT???  Think about how crazy this shit is!    In advance of the Senate trial, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) told Fox News & I quote… “Everything I do during this I am coordinating with the White House Counsel.   There will be no difference between the President’s position and our position  as to how to handle this.  There is no chance the President is gonna be removed from office.  My hope is that there won’t be a single Republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment.”

Now, stay with me…

O.k…let’s say you have a criminal defendant on trial and it’s a judge trial, instead of a jury trial.   And, the judge tells the public, before the trial begins that he is not going to be impartial in the trial.  That he is, in fact, going to rule in favor of the defendant regardless of the evidence that the prosecutors put forth to show that the defendant is guilty as hell.   And, then…the judge also, says that he is presently working with the defendant, and the defendant’s counsel, to help the defendant prepare for his criminal trial.    If this happens, THERE IS NO JUSTICE!   That shit would be rigged.  

Image result for judge gavel

Well, this is the same damn playbook that Mitch McConnell is following.   The only difference is…it is happening in the Senate, instead of a regular courtroom.   Mitch McConnell & the other U.S. Senators are the judges in Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial.  

You know what???  To even call…this Senate proceeding a “Mickey Mouse” trial…would be an overstatement.    And, it would just wrongfully defame… “Mickey Mouse” …& that shit wouldn’t be right either. 

Soooo…

What the bulk of these Republican Senators are saying is that…all the corrupt shit that Donald Trump is doing is o.k.  Despite knowing that Trump is guilty as sin…they say… “so what???” For them,  it is o.k. for him to do to Ukraine…what amounts to nothing but a “Mafioso style” shake down.   Plain & Simple!!!  Trump withheld roughly $400 million, in military aid, that the U.S. Congress had already approved for Ukraine to receive.  And, why does Ukraine need this money???  Because, as I’m writing this post, they are literally battling a war against a mutual enemy…RUSSIA!  And, you know who is running shit in Russia…Vladimir Putin.  The one and the same person…who has Trump as a lap dog.   Shit…Trump’s first name should be … “Fido” or “Sparky.”

Donald Trump, used his position, as President of the United States, to shake down…a country of lesser military means…lesser monetary means…for his own “friggin” personal gain.  Trump was trying to win the 2020 Presidential Election by cheating his ass off. His behavior, towards Ukraine, does not have a GOT DAMN thing to do with what is in the best interest of this country.   NOTHING!!!  In withholding the money, he actually jeopardized this country’s national security.   If Ukraine falls to Russia…it will be just another link in the chain…of Russia trying to move towards…world domination.   Mitt Romney knew what he was talking about when he said… Russia is  “America’s No. 1 geopolitical foe.“

Now…

You know…and I know that if President Barack Obama…had done 10% of the corrupt…crooked ass shit that Donald Trump has done…in “whoring” out this country for his own personal benefit, Trump’s Republican Senator minions…would have stormed the White House… called Barack Obama a “Dirty Black Pimp” … & tossed his ass out of office.  HANDS DOWN! 

So, why are Republican Senators…supporting Donald Trump…despite, knowing that he REALLY SHOULD be tossed out on his damn head???  Some call it “selling your soul to the devil.”    I believe they are scared to death that Donald Trump will turn his base of supporters against them…& they will lose future elections.  AND, NO DOUBT…HE WOULD!  But, that is not the point!  Just because you may be taunted by a devil, doesn’t justify…you turning away from the light.   There is always two choices…good vs. evil.

And…

Letting Donald Trump get away with all his dirt…just chips away at this so-called democracy that we are suppose to be living in.    Failing to hold a fair…legitimate hearing…where witnesses are called & listened to…is not justice.   Failing to hold a fair…legitimate hearing…where there is a search for the truth…is not justice.  Failing to hold Donald Trump’s guilty ass accountable for the wrongs that he has done…is not justice. ITS’ NOT! 

Well, I tell you what…

Our Heavenly Father, is a God…of “truth”…a God for “justice.”   He will not bless an institution of this country…that fails to seek “truth”…that fails to seek “justice.”   The damage that has been done to the U.S. Senate will be everlasting.  And…  God will not bless Republican Senators who fail to seek “truth”…who fail to seek “justice.”   I’ve seen these “go alongers” with Trump.   And, I have noticed that none of them have arms long enough…to box with God.   They don’t even have a clue of what they have brought upon themselves. 

The Heavenly Father tells us… “7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” (Galatians 6:7-8)

And, He can’t lie.

MERRY…MERRY…MERRY CHRISTMAS…TO ALL!!!

Dear Jesus:

How blessed were the 3 wise men…to see… “the most beautiful being who ever walked this earth.”

I’ve come to understand more clearly why they humbly traveled so far…to see you.   They knew that you were the gift…that would be the best gift…mankind could ever receive.

Sooo…

The gift that I give to you…is me.   I give myself to you…because you gave yourself…for me.

I am so thankful to you for all that you’ve done…& continue to do…for all of us.

My thankfulness…is hard to describe…because our human language just seems so inadequate to express how my heart…holds you as its treasure.

Recently, I reflected & meditated on the song… “Little Drummer Boy.”  All he had was a drum…but, when it counted…the drum enabled him to “play his best” …for Jesus.

Why wouldn’t Jesus deserve the best from any of us???

Jesus…you truly are our…Amazing Grace!  Happy Birthday!!!

AMAZING GRACE (song)

Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T’was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home

Amazing grace, How Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T’was blind but now I see

Was blind, but now I see. (John Newton)

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD: COINCIDENTAL??? ACCIDENTAL??? HELL NO! Coincidences & Accidents Don’t Happen To Children of God. Everything That Happens Is Trying To Push You Either Towards God…OR…That Damned Devil. Soooo… BE WATCHFUL…& BE CAREFUL!!!

Posted on November 30, 2019 by iriswhiting

Merriam Webster Dictionary defines “coincidence” as… “the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection.”

Mmmmhhhh…. (wait…I’m thinking)

O.k…  

Coincidences…don’t have shit to do with “children of God.”  They don’t.  Everything that happens…in the life of a child of God…is happening because God is allowing it to happen.   Now, don’t get it twisted.   I did not say He causes it (even though He does cause certain things to happen. He has allowed the earth to ).  I said He allows it to happen.   And, this is regardless as to whether we think…the certain happening…is good, bad or in between.   

Now…

Another way of thinking about something happening by “coincidence”…is to say it happened “by chance.”  Merriam Webster defines “chance” as… “something that happens unpredictably without discernible human intention or observable cause.” There is a saying that goes something like this…  “what happened was by the luck of the draw.”   “Luck”…means what???  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! There is no such thing as “luck.”  To be honest…I hate it when folk say to me “good luck.”  What the *^%$ does that mean…anyway???  In actuality, they are wishing me nothing about whatever situation they are commenting on.  So…. What the hell is the point of saying anything???

Let’s keep going…

When we were born…as a child of God…(& not everyone is a child of God…THEIR NOT!)…we were born with a God given destiny.   Meaning???  God sent us into this earthly realm to follow His will for our lives.  Think about it like a puzzle.  Each child of God is a “puzzle piece.”  That “puzzle piece” (which is you), fits into a specific part of the puzzle.  No one else can do what you were put on earth to do.   No one else can fill the spot, in the puzzle, that is designated for you.  Your life journey is doing all that God needs you to do, so you can fill in your spot in the puzzle. 

Many moons ago, the Heavenly Father told me audibly… “You are going to build my Kingdom of Heaven, on earth, in preparation for the return of Jesus.”  Now, that sounds broad.  But…but…but…   He actually gets very…very specific with what He wants each of His children to do.   He has given me extremely specific things that I need to do, to carry out my mission.  My God given destiny.   This is the sole purpose for me living and breathing.

So…

Why is it important for me to carry out my God given destiny?  PEOPLE!…this is everything!   If you do not carry out this destiny, you can’t be reconciled with the Father.  You can’t get back home to the Father.   And, for those who have a problem with what I just said, I say this…  These are not my words but, those of Jesus.  If you got a problem with them, then, I suggest you take it up with Him & we’ll see how that works our for YOU! 

Let’s keep going…

One day, Jesus was talking to His disciples about His destiny, as a man, on this earth.  His destiny included Him dying on the cross…in order to take away the sins of man. 

O.k…let us just pause here for a moment…and reflect…on what I just told you…

CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS!!!

What must our Savior…as a man…must have been going through during this time.  To know that you are about to die…not for anything you have done wrong…but, for all the wrongs…others…have done.   The Bible does give us a glimpse into the level of stress that Jesus was under during this time.

“39 He came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. 40 When he reached the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not come into the time of trial.” 41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done.” 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 44 In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground. 45 When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial.” (Luke 22:39-46)

MY GOD! MY GOD!  Do you see???   Jesus was under such a mountain of stress…He sweated blood!  My heart…LITERALLY weeps…for Him…when I think about Him going through all of this. I hope you know that Jesus…TRULY…is the MOST beautiful man that HAS EVER walked this earth as a human being.   How can my spirit…not drop to its knees…just thinking about Him?  He is my Lord…and my Love!

O.k…

As, I was saying earlier…Jesus had a discussion with His disciples about the fact that His destiny…was to die for the sins of man. 

Here’s how that discussion went down…

“21 From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?

27 “For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done. 28 Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”” (Luke 22:21-28)

O.k…

Jesus told the disciples that if they wanted to follow Him…and get back to the Father…then, they MUST… “deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”   Do you see the prerequisites?  To get back to our Heavenly Father, we must, first, deny ourselves.  Meaning???  Meaning, we must put what we want aside, and put what the Heavenly Father wants…first.  His will must be the priority in how we live our lives. Again, we were created to serve His purpose for our lives (our God given destiny).   When Jesus was sweating blood…in anticipation of the suffering He was about to go through…what did He say to the Father???   Jesus said… “42 “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done.””   

Look at that…   “yet, not my will but yours be done.”

O.k…   The other prerequisite that Jesus tells the disciples…is that they need to… “take up their cross.”  Meaning???  Meaning… “our destiny.”  The “taking up of our cross” …is another way of saying…we must carry out the destiny we were created to carry out for God’s purposes.  Meaning…that Jesus’ destiny…His ‘taking up of His cross’… was to die on the cross for our sins…so we can have the opportunity to be reconciled with the Heavenly Father. 

So… 

How do you find out what your “destiny” is…your… “taking up of your cross?”  For that, you have to come into a close relationship with the Heavenly Father.  It is the only way.   It was through building a close relationship with the Father, that He started talking to me audibly (yes, just like He did with Moses…NO KIDDING! NO KIDDING!)  The Heavenly Father tells me exactly what He wants me to do so I can stay on my path…of carrying out my God given destiny.  When I say…EXACTLY…I mean EXACTLY!  I have all kinds of supernatural experiences with the Heavenly Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit…ON A DAILY BASIS!  HOW COOL…IS THAT!!! 

And, know this…   If He will do this for me…HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU…TOO!   The Heavenly Father does not want any of His children lost.  He wants His children to be reconciled to Him. 

Let’s keep going…

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is BIBLE.jpg

I built a closer relationship with the Father by reading the Bible…and praying to Him.   The more I read the Bible…the more I prayed.  The more I prayed…the more I read the Bible.  And… The more I read the Bible and the more I prayed, the more I wanted to follow the will of the Heavenly Father.   Yes, I gave my life to Him…since He gave His…for me.  That’s the least I could do.  I NOW have such a love for Him that sometimes, I think my physical body…can’t even hold it all.

OH, YEAH!  The Heavenly Father also pulls me up into Heaven, when He wants to…while I’m wide awake!   HOW CAN I NOT KNOW HOW REAL HE IS WHEN HE SHOWS ME ALL OF THESE MIRACULOUS…SUPERNATURAL THINGS…ON A DAILY BASIS!!!

Let’s keep going…

God has given us a destiny to fulfill while we are on this earth…BUT…BUT…BUT…He did not say it was going to be smooth sailing…all the time.   NO!  There is a little wrinkle that comes into play which…sure enough…tries to take you off your path…in fulfilling your God given destiny.   And…that little wrinkle has a name.  What is it???  It is that DAMNED Devil!   And, the Devil is not a foe…to be taken lightly.  Just like “The Terminator” had the one mission to destroy Sarah Connor…the Devil’s one mission is to DESTROY all of God’s children.  Yes…you…you…& YES, you, too.  And, you can’t hide.   HELL NO!  Ain’t no hiding! The Devil is a spirit being and he can get to where you are…in a “split” second.    

O.k…

The Devil…does not want you to fulfill your God given destiny because that brings about GOOD…on the earth.   The Devil HATES…good. That bastard wants to prevent any godly good from manifesting on this hellish earth.   The Devil…also does not want you to fulfill your God given destiny because he does not want you to be reconciled with the Heavenly Father after you die.  As I’ve told you, he wants to destroy you before you can be reconciled with the Father.   In this way, you would join him in Hell, as opposed to being with the Father in Heaven. So…what does the Devil do???  Remember, nothing is new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9)  His tricks are the same damn tricks he tried on Jesus…when Jesus walked the earth…as a man.  

The Bible tells us…

“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. 3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; 9 and he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’” 11 Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.”  (Matthew 4:1-11)

OH, MY GOODNESS!   The Devil did everything he could to try to take Jesus off His mark.   The Devil tried to tempt Jesus with power…wealth…& vanity.   And, remember He wasn’t trying to do this for nothing.  Satan did not want Jesus to die on the cross…for the redemption of man.  So, he was trying to do all his evil ass could…to pull Jesus away from the Heavenly Father.  He tried to tempt Jesus three separate times…but, the shit didn’t work.  Why?  Because Jesus stayed…the course.   Jesus kept His eyes on the Prize…which was the will of the Heavenly Father.  And…  Jesus resisted the Devil.  This resistance is what caused the Devil to flee.

O.k…

We would ALL do well to follow the path Jesus took (to get the Devil off of His back)…when the Devil tries to tempt us.   Now, make no mistake about it…the Devil is going to come…& keep coming…at you.   THIS IS WHAT HE DOES!  THIS IS ALL HE DOES! DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! Not my words…but, those of God.  

The Bible tells us… “8 Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) And, remember…  The Devil does not work alone.  No.  He has a gazillion fallen angels (DEMONS)…& human workers…to assist him…in any take downs.

Now…

What gives the Devil an advantage, in dealing with us humans is this…  Our flesh.  Yes, our flesh.   That is the side of us…that hates the God side of us.  Again, not my words, but those of God.  PLEEEEEASE…PAY ATTENTION!…to what I’m telling you!!!  

The Bible says…

“16 Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5: 16-21)

And…

To add insult to injury…the “flesh” side of us…is weak as hell.  The Bible says… “40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, “So, could you not stay awake with me one hour? 41 Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”” (Matthew 26: 40-41)

O.k…   So, we have this vulnerability of being part “flesh.”  What do we do?

We recognize this as a weakness…and…we strengthen ourselves.  We strengthen the “spirit”…the “God side”…of ourselves.  How???  By, like a said before, coming into closer relationship with the Heavenly Father.  Read His word in the Bible and memorize it.  Meditate on it…day & night. (And, I’m not talking about in some half-assed way) Follow God’s directives in the Bible. He will then, give us His power to overcome the weaknesses of our flesh.  There is nothing that the Devil can throw at us…that God won’t help us prevail against…if we walk with Him.  If we put Him first…and let Him direct our steps.  God will show us…in great detail…how to have great success against the Devil…when he comes…trying to devour us.

The Heavenly Father tells us this…

“5 No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful. 9 I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”  (Joshua 1:5-9)

O.k… 

The Devil has been watching mankind for eons and he too…knows the flesh side of us is truly our weak side.   So, what will he do???  He will play to our weaknesses in trying to tempt us to go against the will of God.  In other words, that damned Devil will do everything he is big enough to do…to try to get us to sin against God.  The Devil wants to prevent us from fulfilling our God given destiny.   He wants us to engage in every behavior that God hates.  Ultimately… He wants us to die in our sins so that we WON’T be reconciled with the Heavenly Father.  In other words, he wants us to JOIN HIM IN HELL!

Now…

As I told you a bit earlier…Jesus says to us… “Discipline yourselves, keep alert.” Meaning???  Meaning…we must walk in the will of God and be watchmen on the wall.  Meaning…we must pay attention to everything that is happening around us and to us…and seek understanding about why…what is happening…is happening.   Nothing happens by accident to a child of God.   Let me say it again.  Nothing happens by accident to a child of God.  Everything that is happening to us is for a reason.  It is either God trying to push us in His direction…OR…the Devil trying to lead us into Hell.  You must be able to discern/know…which one it is. 

First, we must look to our Heavenly Father… “the light.” And, we must stay prayerful and ask the Heavenly Father…24/7…why…what is happening…happening.  Pray that He directs your path in how you respond to what is happening.  Ask Him to reveal to you if what is happening…is of Him…or of the Devil.  Ask Him to Bless you so that you only do those things that are in accord with His divine and holy will.   When I said…ask…I really mean…beg.   BEG!…and BEG your ass off!!!  Beg as if your life depends on it.  Because, guess what???…  IT DOES!!!   And, not just your physical life.  While that is of grave importance, more important is your spiritual well-being.  Why?  Because if you are not where you need to be…in proper relationship with God…when your physical body dies, you will end up in hell.   Sure enough.  And, remember this…

There are no do-overs.  I don’t give a damn about what those “new agers” … “old agers” …whatever “the hell”…they are calling themselves these days…tell you.   There is no such thing as “reincarnation” …so you can do it better…the next time.  If you don’t do it right this time…it is “curtains for you mack.” 

O.k…

Stop taking shit for face value if you don’t know what is really going on.  Just because something appears “innocent” enough…does not make it necessarily so.  NOT AT ALL!  “ALERT!” The Devil…his demons…& human workers are probably not going to tell you…they are around you because they want to…destroy you. What do you think??? And, remember…  The Devil is not going to STOP! (not until Jesus returns) He’s coming today, tomorrow & the day after that. 

O.k…

Let’s say that you are a woman…and a girlfriend…invites you to go out to a club…for a girl’s night out.   You know…  So, yall can unwind…from the stressors of life…and, let it hang out…so, to speak.  And, you say… “sure…let’s do this thing.”  Innocent, enough right???

O.k…   So, yall are at the club, dancing, prancing…kind of romancing…blah, blah, blah.  And, guess what??? You see this fine ass man…no, I’m serious…his ass is fine.  And, guess what else???  He approaches yall and ask you if you want to dance.  Oh, my goodness!  You are so flattered by all this “fineness” …you dance with him.  Well… One dance…leads to another…another and before you know it…you and him are on your door step.  YEP!  He wants to come in…and it’s not so he can let the dog out.  (Well, not the one that “barks,” anyway)  You…giggly…oblige.   And, guess what??? You end up having sexual intercourse.   

Now, none of this…is in God’s plan for your life.  But, here we are.  Why??? Because you were led by your flesh and not by the spirit.  You sinned against God by fornicating.   You were not married to this man.  Shit… You didn’t even know this man. 

Besides the fornication, you gave into all kinds of temptations that night.   First, you went to a club/bar…which God considers a den of iniquity.  Why a den of iniquity??? Because where is the God purpose there.  How is being in a club…carrying out the will of God?  Somebody please, tell me because…I am listening.  

Because, from where I’m standing, I see this…  People are there getting drunk.  People are getting into quarrels and fights (sometimes, deadly). People are being obscene in words & deeds (and, not necessarily because of being drunk).  People are there tempting others to lust after them.  People are lusting after folk they don’t even know.  People are inappropriately touching others, in a sexual way, who don’t want to be touched in that way.  People have come to the club to make sexual hookups.  And…  People are making sexual hookups with folk they are not married to.  And, so forth…and so forth…

All of this shit that I just mentioned…stems from the works of the Devil…not, God.

Check it out…

19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5: 16-21)

O.k…

If God had been leading you (because you asked Him to), you would not have been in the club to start with.  Why?  God does not have us going into den’s of iniquity unless…your ass is standing up on table…with a Bible in hand…preaching “over that loud ass music”…about the Gospel.  And, since the owner of “da club” …would definitely call the police to haul you away…that, too…would not be going on for too…long.  So, unless there is a God purpose in what we are doing…we ain’t got no business doing it.  Remember, we were created for His purposes…and His purposes alone. 

The invitation to go a club…may at first, seem innocent…& coincidental…but, NOTHING…with God’s children is EVER…coincidental.   Everything that presents itself before us…is always a time for us to choose, the ways of God…OR…the ways of the Devil. 

We must discipline ourselves to stop going through life…all willy nilly…without a clue…as to what is really going on.   We do not have that luxury.   God is not going to excuse our ignorance about what He expects from us.  HE’S NOT!  Many of His children are perishing every single day…lost to Hell…because they lack knowledge…about the will and ways of God.  The Bible tells us…

“Hear the word of the Lord, O people of Israel;
    for the Lord has an indictment against the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or loyalty,
    and no knowledge of God in the land.
2 Swearing, lying, and murder,
    and stealing and adultery break out;
    bloodshed follows bloodshed.
3 Therefore the land mourns,
    and all who live in it languish;
together with the wild animals
    and the birds of the air,
    even the fish of the sea are perishing. 4 Yet let no one contend,
    and let none accuse,
    for with you is my contention, O priest.
5 You shall stumble by day;
    the prophet also shall stumble with you by night,
    and I will destroy your mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
    because you have rejected knowledge,
    I reject you from being a priest to me.” (Hosea 4:1-6)

WE MUST learn the will and ways of God.  WE MUST learn what our God given destiny is…and stay on that path.  It is when we are not on the path…that He chooses for us…that the Devil sneaks his no good ass in…to wreak havoc. 

And, know this… 

Every time you ignore God’s will…and choose our own…shit is going to go south…& keep going south for you…until you end up in Hell.

HALLOWEEN: TRICK…OR…TREAT??? The Biggest TRICK Of The Devil, His Demons & His Human Workers…Is Convincing Folks…That “The Devil” Does Not Exist.

Posted on October 31, 2019 by iriswhiting

A few years back, I watched the movie called the… “The Exorcism of Emily Rose.”  This movie is inspired by the real life of Annaliese Michel, where Catholic priests were put on trial for negligent homicide, after Annaliese died during the performance of an exorcism.   Some truly believe that Annaliese was possessed by demons and that her life served as an example…to the world…that Satan is real.   The theory is that if you can convince the world that Satan is real…then, guess what???  YES!  You are showing them…that…GOD…is REAL!

In the movie a Priest says… “Demons exist whether you believe in them or not.”   

And, I say to you… “You can bet your ass, that demons exist.”  How do I know???  Because there is one being who cannot lie…no matter what.  This one being…IS more real…than any other being that will ever exist.  And, this being is the one…& only true God…who arts in Heaven.   And, the Heavenly Father says…that the Devil & his demons DO exist.  Know this…  It wasn’t “Snoopy” … “Bugs Bunny” …or that lying ass “Pinocchio” …that God kicked out of Heaven.  NOOOOO!   God kicked out the Devil and the Devil’s angels.   The Bible tells us…

“7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.”  (Revelation 12:7-10)

O.k…

If you don’t remember anything else…remember this…

GOD IS REAL!  SATAN IS REAL!

Therefore, Heaven is real…Hell is real.   

That’s right!  Which means that when your physical body dies…you are not going to just not exist.  HELL NO!  When your physical body dies…you will end up in a “hellish” holding place…or…a “heavenly” holding place, until Jesus returns.  To give us some understanding of these holding places, Jesus tells us a parable about Lazarus and the rich man.   Now, listen up…

“19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” (Luke 16:19-31)

Did you hear that???  Alright…let’s keep going…

Now…

When Jesus returns, He will judge every man who has ever lived (other than himself).   This is the final judgment.  Jesus’ judgment will mean that you will either end up in Hell with Satan & the demons…or…in Heaven with the Heavenly Father.  There are no other options.   That’s it!  That’s all!

So…

Why through the centuries have we fallen for the “okie-doke” of the Devil?

Why…despite all the evidence of GOD’s existence…do we PRETEND…that God is not…and that the Devil is not???  I’ll tell you…

So, our CRAZY ASSES can go on thinking…that we can live any foul ass way we want to…without any repercussions.  So, we can step on…drag down…oppress…rob…cheat…murder…& rape…others, without any conscience about it.  You know…do your dirt & then, sleep like a baby.

Donald Trump falls into this category.  But, he is just one of millions upon millions.  And NO, I’m not just talking about the folk who follow Trump. NO! Folks from all walks of life… rich, poor, Democrat, Republican, male, female, Black, White, Pink & Green…can act as selfish…& evil as hell.  STRAIGHT UP!  Evil knows no color.  Evil is not dictated by how much money one has in a bank account.   It’s just that the folk who have loaded down…bank accounts…have more resources…to aid them in their evil-ass doings.  That’s all.   Evil comes out of the “heart” of man.    

You’ve probably heard the world’s saying… “It’s a dog eat dog…world.”  Yes.  And, folks who try to justify the evil shit that they do, often use this saying…or one analogous to it. Well, let me tell you this…   There is also another saying…one, from God.  It goes something like this… “7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” (Galatians 6:7-8)

Meaning???  Meaning…God is FOR REAL…FOR REAL!

Meaning??? Meaning…you will be held accountable, by God, for your actions.  

So…you better get your houses in order before God let’s some witch on a broomstick…come & kidnap your ass. And, yes some witches CAN ACTUALLY FLY!!! (no kidding!)

NO…NO…NO… Donald Trump IS NOT “THE DEVIL.” But… His Devilish Ass Is Working For “The Devil”…24/7…HANDS DOWN!!! Donald Trump’s Shake Down of the President of Ukraine Shows This Shit!!!

Posted on September 30, 2019 by iriswhiting

Recently, someone said the following to me…“I truly believe that Donald Trump is the devil!”

No…Trump is not “The Devil.”  However, that bastard is WORKING HIS ASS OFF for “The Devil.”

Oh, for sure!!!  The Devil says jump…& Trump’s ass… L-E-E-E-E-A-P-S.

Many years ago…when I really peeped into his ass…I saw an “empty”… “heart-less” …black hole of a man.  Meaning???  Meaning…Donald Trump reminded me of “Michael Myers” from the movie “HALLOWEEN!”  The only thing that he’s missing…is the mask.  I’M NOT KIDDING…YALL!  And, I’m not just saying this because “Halloween” …is just around the corner.

I believe that Donald Trump…is a HEART-LESS…bastard.  

For example…

No amount of tears…cried by mothers…who to this day…ARE STILL…separated from their Hispanic children…WILL MOVE…Donald Trump…to think he did anything wrong…in separating these families at the U.S. southern border…to start with.   His thinking to them…is something like this… “You had no business coming here to start with!  If you didn’t come here, you wouldn’t have been separated from your child!  So, it is your fault for leaving from wherever you came from, to come here.  Nobody asked you to come here.”  THIS IS HOW DONALD TRUMP…THINKS! 

I believe that there is not an ounce…of true compassion…in this man.   NONE!  NONE! NONE!   

Alright…

Jesus…tells us…that we will know a tree by its fruit.   Meaning???  Meaning, watch what a person produces…and you will know what they are about. A good tree…bears good fruit. A bad tree…bears rotten fruit.

Donald Trump…thinks “EVIL”…talks “EVIL”…produces “EVIL”…24/7. 

This selfish ass man…wants WHAT HE WANTS…when HE WANTS IT…no matter how it may impact ANYBODY else…PERIOD!!!

He will manipulate…lie…cheat & steal…to get what he wants.  And, he will try to get others to do the dirtiest work…for him.  Meaning…   Donald Trump…will talk cash shit…to try and convince others…to come to his way of thinking.   Then, he will push the marker…a little further…to get these folk to do his devilish ass…bidding.

Let’s flesh this out…

Right now…an “Impeachment Inquiry” is underway in the U. S. House of Representatives because of Trump’s crooked ass.

So, what do we know…

(above photo – courtesy of NBC News)

We know that Donald Trump had a telephone conversation with the President of Ukraine, Volodymr Zelensky, on July 25, 2019, where Donald Trump repeatedly pushes the Ukranian President to investigate former Vice-President, Joseph Biden, and Biden’s son…Hunter Biden.    We also know that in this conversation, Donald Trump…pushes Ukraine to investigate Joe & Hunter Biden…in response to President Zelensky saying that Ukraine is ready to buy weapons from the United States.  You see…  Since 2014, the United States has given…the country of Ukraine millions of dollars, every year…so Ukraine can defend their country against external forces (I’ll deal more with this, in a moment).  

(above photo -courtesy of CSPAN)

Now, in order for Ukraine to buy the weapons (that President Zelensky refers to with Trump) from the United States …Ukraine needs to receive the money, this year…that the United States has decided, by law, to give to Ukraine.  

So, where’s the 2019 money for Ukraine…at the time of the July 25th call?

In 2018…by July 20th…the Pentagon had already released 200 million dollars, in defense aid…to the country of Ukraine.    Not so…in 2019.  At the time of the phone call between Trump & Zelensky…Ukraine had not yet received…the “millions of dollars” …from the United States. 

Here’s how the July 25, 2019…telephone conversation broke-out in relevant part…

Unclassified Transcript: (courtesy of White House Administration)

President Zelensky: “… I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.”

President Trump: “I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

President Zelensky: “Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends around us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people. I also wanted to tell you that we are friends. We are great friends and you Mr. President have friends in our country so we can continue our strategic partnership. I also plan to surround myself with great people and in addition to that investigation, I guarantee as the President of Ukraine that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly.. That I can assure you.”

President Trump: “Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it… It sounds horrible to me.”

President Zelensky: “I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all, I understand and I’m knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved, by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.”

President Trump: “Well, she’s going to go through some things. I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. I’m sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything. Your economy is going to get better and better I predict. You have a lot of assets. It’s a great country. I have many Ukrainian friends, their incredible people.”

O.k…let me explain…what just went down…

Donald Trump solicits help for his political re-election efforts from the Ukraine government by shaking down…the President of Ukraine…regarding the millions of dollars Ukraine is yet to receive…at the time of the July 25th telephone call.

Remember, above…Donald Trump tells President Zelensky…

“I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it.”

“I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike…  The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

“Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved.”

“The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it… It sounds horrible to me.”

O.k…

First of all…

Donald Trump asks President Zelensky to look into the situation regarding Crowdstrike.   So, what the hell is this about???  Let me tell you…

(above Photo – courtesy of MSNBC News)

Crowdstrike is a Cybersecurity firm…in  Silicon Valley.  On September 25, 2019, Forbes reports… “CrowdStrike was hired by the Democratic National Committee in 2016 to investigate how hackers, which it later identified as Russian groups, breached a DNC network and then released stolen emails from the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to Wikileaks, just months before the U.S. general election.”    CNN reports on September 26, 2019… “Crowdstrike gained notoriety in 2016 when the Democratic National Committee paid the company to investigate a hack of its server, which it determined emanated from Russia. The company was the first to publicly sound the alarm about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and CrowdStrike’s assessment was later confirmed by US intelligence agencies.” 

It is being reported that Donald Trump’s interest in Crowdstrike…is so that he can find evidence to discredit the firm.  He feels that discrediting Crowdstrike could undermine…their findings…that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.   You all know…  It still burns Trump’s ass that people think that Russia…interfered in the 2016 election (which they did)…and helped him get elected.   

Donald Trump believes that there are DNC servers, handled by Crowdstrike, that are in Ukraine.  Soooo… He wants President Zelensky to find these DNC servers and turn them over to him.

Second of all…

Trump is basically telling President Zelensky that former Vice-President Joseph Biden interfered with a Ukraine Prosecutor, who Trump thinks was looking into criminal matters regarding Hunter Biden…and Trump says…Joseph Biden shut down the Prosecutor. Trump is telling Zelensky that he thinks that Joseph Biden doing this…was really unfair…and Trump wants President Zelensky to investigate this matter. 

So, what is wrong with any of this???

A WHOLE LOT!!! 

First of all, any investigation that Donald Trump tells President Zelensky to engage in…has nothing to do with the business of the United States.   Why??? 

Trump is trying to discredit the U.S. Democratic party and the U.S. Intelligence community by proving that Russia didn’t interfere with the 2016 U. S. Presidential Election.  Trump’s desire to defend and protect Russia…is a personal matter. 

Trump is just trying to dig up dirt…on a political opponent…Joseph Biden.  Donald Trump’s future political ambition…of being re-elected…is a personal matter. 

Donald Trump should not be leveraging money that the U.S. Congress has already allocated to Ukraine…on whether or not…Ukraine investigates Crowdstrike & DNC servers that may or may not be located in Ukraine. 

Donald Trump should not be leveraging money that the U.S. Congress has already allocated to Ukraine…on whether or not…Ukraine investigates what Joseph Biden…did or did not do…regarding a Ukraine Prosecutor…in terms of Hunter Biden.

WHAT THE HELL!!! 

All of this shit that Donald Trump is doing, regarding Ukraine…amounts to nothing but a “Mafioso style” shake down.   Plain & Simple!!!

Donald Trump, using his position as President of the United States…in essence…has shaken down…a country of lesser military means…lesser monetary means…for his own personal gain.   His behavior, towards Ukraine, does not have a GOT DAMN thing to do with what is in the best interest of this country.   NOTHING!!!

Why does Donald Trump want a “foreign country” to investigate Joseph Biden and Hunter Biden???

(above photo- courtesy of clipart library)

Well…first of all, former Vice-President, Joseph Biden…has a hell-u-va chance (at this time) of becoming the nominee for the Democratic Party for the 2020 Presidential race.   Meaning…Biden could be the person who runs against…Donald Trump…in the2020 Presidential race.  Soooooo…  He wants to discredit Joseph Biden…before Biden gets any nomination…in order to weaken Biden as a candidate…against him.  Trump knows that Biden has a very good chance of winning…back over (for the Democrats)…those White voters who didn’t vote for …Hillary Clinton…in the 2016 Presidential race.  

But…

It looks like…Trump’s ass has gotten caught up in… the same shitty ass web…that he tried to weave over the summer. 

Yes…because of these behaviors…the U.S. House of Representatives has started an “Impeachment Inquiry” to investigate all the gangster shit…Trump did with respect to Ukraine.

Pray this Psalm as a prayer for Ukraine & other countries & people…who are trampled upon & oppressed by those who deem themselves more powerful.

Psalm 35 (NRSV)

1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
    fight against those who fight against me!
2 Take hold of shield and buckler,
    and rise up to help me!
3 Draw the spear and javelin
    against my pursuers;
say to my soul,
    “I am your salvation.”

4 Let them be put to shame and dishonor
    who seek after my life.
Let them be turned back and confounded
    who devise evil against me.
5 Let them be like chaff before the wind,
    with the angel of the Lord driving them on.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

7 For without cause they hid their net for me;
    without cause they dug a pit for my life.
8 Let ruin come on them unawares.
And let the net that they hid ensnare them;
    let them fall in it—to their ruin.

9 Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord,
    exulting in his deliverance.
10 All my bones shall say,
    “O Lord, who is like you?
You deliver the weak
    from those too strong for them,
    the weak and needy from those who despoil them.”

11 Malicious witnesses rise up;
    they ask me about things I do not know.
12 They repay me evil for good;
    my soul is forlorn.
13 But as for me, when they were sick,
    I wore sackcloth;
    I afflicted myself with fasting.
I prayed with head bowed on my bosom,
14     as though I grieved for a friend or a brother;
I went about as one who laments for a mother,
    bowed down and in mourning.

15 But at my stumbling they gathered in glee,
    they gathered together against me;
ruffians whom I did not know
    tore at me without ceasing;
16 they impiously mocked more and more,
    gnashing at me with their teeth.

17 How long, O Lord, will you look on?
    Rescue me from their ravages,
    my life from the lions!
18 Then I will thank you in the great congregation;
    in the mighty throng I will praise you.

19 Do not let my treacherous enemies rejoice over me,
    or those who hate me without cause wink the eye.
20 For they do not speak peace,
    but they conceive deceitful words
    against those who are quiet in the land.
21 They open wide their mouths against me;
    they say, “Aha, Aha,
    our eyes have seen it.”

22 You have seen, O Lord; do not be silent!
    O Lord, do not be far from me!
23 Wake up! Bestir yourself for my defense,
    for my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 Vindicate me, O Lord, my God,
    according to your righteousness,
    and do not let them rejoice over me.
25 Do not let them say to themselves,
    “Aha, we have our heart’s desire.”
Do not let them say, “We have swallowed you up.”

26 Let all those who rejoice at my calamity
    be put to shame and confusion;
let those who exalt themselves against me
    be clothed with shame and dishonor.

27 Let those who desire my vindication
    shout for joy and be glad,
    and say evermore,
“Great is the Lord,
    who delights in the welfare of his servant.”
28 Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness
    and of your praise all day long.

White Woman Calls Black Women “Niggers,” In One Breath…While Exclaiming, With Another… “I Have Black Friends.” This Is The Kind Of Crazy Shit That Even Makes…Scooby Doo…Say, “HUH???”

Posted on August 31, 2019 by iriswhiting

My daddy use to say…to us children…all the time… “If you can find one true friend in this world, you have plenty.”   Through time…I’ve come to realize…how profound a truth this really is.  

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is potofgodclipartlibrary.jpg

Finding…& having a true friend, is what I call…a “pot of gold” find…in this crazy-ass world.   

O.k…

In July 2019…in Raleigh, North Carolina…there were all kinds of folks at the Bonefish Grill Restaurant.   Three of the people there were Black women…talking, laughing…in other words, enjoying themselves.   There was also another person there…by the name of Nancy Goodman.    Nancy Goodman is a 71-year old White woman.   Evidently, Nancy Goodman felt the Black women were talking too loud…& being rude.   So, she approaches the Black women.  Don Lemon interviewed 2 of the Black women, Chanda Stewart and Lakesha Shaw on CNN Tonight…about what happened at the restaurant.

(Photo – Screenshot, Courtesy of WRAL News)

In speaking about Nancy Goodman…Lekasha Shaw… tells Don Lemon… “We don’t know where she was seated but she just appeared at our table. We were there enjoying our meal just like we normally do.  We visit Bonefish quite often and we were doing the same thing that night and enjoying our meal and she just came out of nowhere. She approached our table and started banging on our table and screamed at us you are the most rudest people I have ever seen, and she turns and walks out of the restaurant.” 

O.k…before we go any further… 

Who the ^%$# does this???  Unless, they are calling your grandmother a two-bit whore… who goes up to complete strangers in a public restaurant… “bangs” on their table…& screams at them???  Huhh???

Nobody…UNLESS you are looking for trouble. 

O.k…let’s keep going.

Well, after that happened, the Black women started videoing Goodman’s ass.    Goodman sees them videoing her and she waves at them.  Nancy Goodman then, approaches the Black women, again.

This is their conversation:

GOODMAN: You know, I’ve got really good friends that are black, and I love them.

STEWART: We never said anything about color.

GOODMAN: But they would never act like you all.

STEWART: We never said — how are we acting? How are we acting? So here’s the thing. Let me understand.

GOODMAN: You’re too loud.

SHAW: We’re too loud? In your opinion. In your opinion. Let me show you my money. It’s just as green as yours.

GOODMAN: Right. you’re so stupid, niggers.

STEWART: Stupid? No.

SHAW: No, no, no, no. So, call your black friends a nigger. Call your black friends a nigger. Wait a minute now — she basically just called us a nigger. You have black friends and you still call us a nigger.

GOODMAN: They’re not like you.

***END OF CONVERSATION***

O.k…

So, we have a White woman who calls 3 Black women niggers, while explaining, that she has Black friends.  

(photo courtesy of pinterest)

Alright…  When White folk call Black folk… “nigger” … to lash out at them in anger…it is NOT a term of endearment.    No.  It is being used as a verbal weapon to cut those persons off at the knees.   Nancy Goodman used that word…because she wanted to use that word…to make a specific point.  What point???  The point is to relay a message to these three Black women… “I hate you and I want to call you the worse thing I can think to call you…to hurt you, the worse.” 

So, what does this tell us about Nancy Goodman???   A HELL OF A LOT!!!

It tells me that this woman likes attention, feels entitled &…is one who is quick to judge others.   First, she goes up to complete strangers and “bangs” on their table while they are having dinner.  That is some bold ass shit!  This woman has the spirit of a “bully” who is use to getting her way.  She approaches other grown folk…who she has no control over.  Yet, Nancy Goodman feels compelled to step to them.  Then, after banging on their table, she screams… “YOU ARE THE RUDEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET!”  This is her way of chastising them & putting them… “in their (proverbial) place.”  

It is evident that when Nancy Goodman got dressed that morning…she did so without ever looking into any mirror.  Because…SHE…is bolting towards the finish line, herself, in terms…of anybody else competing…in the race of being the rudest person she has ever met.  HANDS *^%$#@* DOWN! 

Now…

Because she felt…that she had not made big enough of a statement, by all the damn banging…& hollering…she felt she had to stick a “knife” in and twist it.   Thus, comes the use of the word “nigger.”  Now…  While this was a calculated move by Nancy’s ass…she realized the use of the “nigger card” could cause her some problems with other people…in her life.   Remember, she says, I have Black friends.  So, she tries to carve…out an exception for these three Black women…by saying about her Black friends… “They’re not like you“ …to justify calling these “specific” three Black women… “nigger.”   If there are Black folk…who Nancy cares about…Nancy’s ass…is going to have some explaining to do.   If there are White folk who love Black folk…and Nancy cares about those White folk…Nancy’s ass…is going to have some explaining to do.

Oh, Nancy…Nancy…Nancy…G-I-R-L…don’t you know…

“What tangled webs we weave, when we practice to deceive.” 

Now…after all the fireworks were over…at the Bonefish Grill Restaurant, WRAL News, caught up with Nancy Goodman.    

When WRAL asked Goodman about the incident, this is how that conversation went down:

Goodman: “I’m a 71-year-old woman who lives in Raleigh.  I suffer from tremendous anxiety. I’m not going to say I’m sorry to them because they kept pushing at it.”

WRAL: “What about your use of the n-word?”

Goodman: “I used that word because they forced me into it.”

WRAL: “Do you see how that’s incredibly offensive?”

Goodman: “Yes, I do. That’s why I said it. I would say it again to them.”

***end of conversation***

Oh…Sookie…Sookie…now, we are getting somewhere!

When a person goes out of their way…to be hateful…cruel & mean…to another human being, for no reason…that shit is just called… “EVIL!”  When a person doubles down…on their hateful…cruel & mean ways …with a willingness to do it again…for no reason… = Unadulterated “EVIL!”  That is a person who is chasing the devil…at record speeds. 

How could Nancy Goodman not be a racist???  Tell me…   And, only God knows how often Nancy Goodman uses the word “nigger” in private…if she so shamelessly uses it in a public setting.

Now, I don’t know who these “Black friends” are…that Nancy Goodman has, but…these “so called” friends might need to rethink their relationship with…this good ole gal… Nancy Goodman…whose able to let the word “nigger” rip…in a single bound.    You tell me…   How in the hell could I call a White person a friend…who so boldly & so proudly…calls Black women “nigger?” I couldn’t…and still have any respect for myself.   I couldn’t…and still call myself a child of God.  Yes, I would forgive the ^%$#@…but, God knows I would never forget that she did it. 

Now…

It is a rare, but a blessed thing, when God has put a White person and a Black person together…as FRIENDS…& that seed of friendship grows…in a godly way.   Because this country was founded & built…on hate…& greed…it is hard for true friendships to be forged & sustained between White folk and Black folk.  

Now, let me explain…

I’m not talking about…jive time ass relationships…that people mistake…for true friendships.  I ain’t talkin’ about that… “just because we sit in the breakroom at the same time & chat a bit”…kinda relationship.    And, no I ain’t talkin’ about that… “just because our kids are in the same 2nd grade class…& I see you at the school assemblies…kinda relationship.   That kind of stuff don’t make nobody…somebody’s friend.   If I haven’t said it a thousand times… “People use the word “friend” too damn loosely.”  People have a tendency to misuse the word “friend”…for relationships where the person should be called…an “associate.”   Then, what gets me is this…   When talking about their “alleged White friend”… I have heard many Black folk say something like…  “Yeah, I thought she was my friend, but…then, I saw her out at a restaurant with her family…& she acted like she didn’t know me.”   And, I know that I wasn’t making them feel any better, but, I’d quickly interject… “Yeah, because she was never your friend.  People use that word too damn loosely.”    Alright…

Now, whether you are Black…White…Pink…or Green…

For me, friendship is based on mutual respect, love & compassion towards one another.   It’s a relationship where you take the person, where you find them…& go from there.    It’s one where you must deal in truth about everything…that you two deal with.   Truth must always win…the day.  For only from a place of truth…can you see people, places and things…as they really are.   You see…   When I start from truth…in essence…I’m starting with God.    It is He who will direct the path of any friendship.   You must ALWAYS…call a spade a spade…even when it could end the friendship.  

Why in the hell would I want to be in a relationship…with someone as a friend…& have to skirt around this…jump over that…in order to pretend…that something is not, the way that it REALLY IS???  First, all that dumbness…takes up too much damn energy.  And, who has time for fake…phony ass relationships???  NOT ME!  At any given time, any friend of mine…will know where I stand.   And, if where I stand, is somewhere they can’t stand with me…then, so be it.     In other words, if I’m standing for God…then, I don’t need any man…or any woman…to hold me up.    As the saying goes, “if you can’t stand the heat…then, you need to get out of the kitchen.”   I have walked away from friendships…where my friend…took another fork in the road…that God wouldn’t allow me to take.   And, what do I say about such things.   It is…what…it is.

True friendship is a relationship…where you can, openly and honestly, talk to each other basically, about anything under the sun.    No judging…unless, you do so righteously…& only for the purpose of lifting-up the other person.   You never tear down…& try to shred…someone who IS a friend.  And, no matter how hard it is to do…sometimes, you have to step back…& remember, your friend belongs to God first.   It’s not about what you want for your friend.  It’s not about what your friend wants for themselves.  It’s ALWAYS…about what God wants…for you both.

Now, for the road…take this with you.   True friendships are always tested.   God reminds me of this, often.    This testing is how…both…will know where the other stands, at any given time.   If your friendship goes through the fire…& remains standing afterwards…then, you praise God….for each other.   If the friendship doesn’t remain, after the fire…think about it like this…

That shit, wasn’t worth your time to start with.

What Would Make Any Asian Think They Would Ever Be Accepted By Racist-Ass White Nationalists??? The Bigger Question Is…Why In The Hell…Would They Even Want To Be???

Posted on July 25, 2019 by iriswhiting

“TWEET # 1”

“Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others.”

“TWEET # 2”

“There’s a ‘try a hijab on’ booth at my college campus. So you’re telling me that it’s now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?”

***end of tweets***

On July 22, 2019, CNN reports that the above statements were tweeted out by Kathy Zhu.   It appears that she tweeted one out in 2017 and the other in 2018. Well, Well, Well…   Kathy Zhu, was crowned as Miss Michigan, by the Miss World America (MWA) organization on July 18, 2019.   But, when the above “tweets” came to light to the “MWA” …on July 19, 2019…the Miss World America organization took away Kathy Zhu’s title as Miss Michigan. 

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is cnnmissmichigankathyzhu.jpg

On July 21, 2019…CBS News…reports… “Miss Michigan Kathy Zhu was stripped of her title after several insensitive and racist tweets surfaced. The 20-year-old received an email Friday from the pageant removing her from her position.”  CBS goes on further to report the pageant’s email as saying… “It has been brought to the attention of Miss World America ‘MWA’ that your social media accounts contain offensive, insensitive and inappropriate content…   Therefore, and effective immediately, MWA does not recognize you as a participant of any sort or in any capacity as it relates to any and all events of MWA.””

The New York Times reports on July 21, 2019…  “The tiara went to Kathy Zhu, but one day after she had been crowned Miss Michigan by the Miss World America organization, the beauty queen was stripped of her title.  Racially and religiously charged comments Ms. Zhu had made on Twitter came to the attention of pageant organizers, who ruled that they violated the competition’s rules of “good character.””

O.k…  So, who is this Kathy Zhu…person??? 

The New York Post…on July 20, 2019…says… “A Trump-loving beauty pageant winner was stripped of her Miss Michigan title over the content of her social media.”  CNN also reports… “Kathy Zhu, a University of Michigan student and vice president of the school’s College Republicans…”

The New York Times, on July 21, 2019, reports… “Ms. Zhu, a conservative activist who is a University of Michigan senior and the social media director for the national group Chinese Americans for Trump, shared on social media an email she had received on Thursday from the pageant’s state director, Laurie DeJack.”

So…  We are told Kathy Zhu…is a “Trump-loving” … “Republican” … “Chinese American.”   And… I saw a picture…where Kathy Zhu is wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap.  Mmmmhhh…

Now, don’t get me wrong…

(photo courtesy of CNN)

I know that God gave us the free will to make decisions, be they good, bad or in between. BUT…BUT…BUT…seeing Asian folk wearing those stupid ass “Make America Great Again” caps…makes me want to shout out to them… “ARE YOU DELUSIONAL—OR—ARE YOU JUST CRAZY AS HELL???”

Why??? 

Because Trump & his “ride or die” …racist & ignorant ass…supporters don’t want no Asians in their “White Nationalist” group.   THEY DON’T!  It’s almost like Aunt Jemima…knocking on Strom Thurmond’s door…getting down on one knee…asking him…if she can integrate…into his household.  IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN, PEOPLE!!!  IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!

Why???

(photo courtesy of CBS News)

Because ole Strom and George Wallace (before his ass got shot) were of the same damn mindset… “SEGREGATION NOW!…SEGREGATION TOMORROW!…SEGREGATION FOREVER!”   And, they meant that shit! 

Now…

I don’t know when…where…or how…Asian folks…somehow got this shit twisted & came to think that their asses were not included in this “segregationist” mindset of White Nationalist.   Well…  I’m here to tell them…that THEY ARE!…NOW!…TOMORROW! &…FOREVER!…EXCLUDED…from the White Nationalist club.   Yes!  You see in the eyes of these racist ass White folk…Asians…ARE WHAT???  HUHH??? 

THAT’S RIGHT!…I remember, now… “NOT WHITE!” 

Now, for the record…on any normal day…that didn’t include Tuesdays, Thursdays & every other Friday…this shit wouldn’t even be on my radar.   I wouldn’t give a damn…about these Asian folk trying…to get lynched…VOLUNTARILY!   At least, most Black folk…got sense enough to run…AWAY…from White Nationalists…as opposed to running TOWARDS…them.   Maybe, it’s a language thing. I DON’T KNOW!   If it is…then, I say…  “DAMN!… you Asians need to get your asses into some language class.  And, don’t get discouraged when you walk into the classroom…& see a lot of Hispanics.   NO, don’t get scared.  Hispanic folk are just trying to make it too…in this crazy ass country.   Just ask them to move over & share a seat.  Because, I’m telling you…SOMETHING…is terribly wrong with this picture.”

O.k…somebody tell me, pl-e-e-e-e-e-e-ase… 

Did these Asians, who are wearing these M-A-G-A caps…NOT get the memo…about the internment camps, that were set up in this country… during WWII???  When this country declared war on Japan…after the attack on Pearl Harbor…President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. The Library of Congress states… “President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, allowing for the exclusion of persons from designated areas for security purposes. The order did not designate any specific group for exclusion, but in practice it was primarily used against people of Japanese ancestry, both citizens and legal residents. There was no mass incarceration of American citizens or residents from any other group.” 

Smithsonian magazine reports… “The roundups began quietly within 48 hours after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941. The announced purpose was to protect the West Coast. Significantly, the incarceration program got underway despite a warning; in January 1942, a naval intelligence officer in Los Angeles reported that Japanese-Americans were being perceived as a threat almost entirely “because of the physical characteristics of the people.” Fewer than 3 percent of them might be inclined toward sabotage or spying, he wrote, and the Navy and the FBI already knew who most of those individuals were. Still, the government took the position summed up by John DeWitt, the Army general in command of the coast: “A Jap’s a Jap. They are a dangerous element, whether loyal or not.””

History.org reports… “Over 127,000 United States citizens were imprisoned during World War II. Their crime? Being of Japanese ancestry. Despite the lack of any concrete evidence, Japanese Americans were suspected of remaining loyal to their ancestral land. On the whole, however, life in the relocation centers was not easy. The camps were often too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. The food was mass produced army-style grub. And the interns knew that if they tried to flee, armed sentries who stood watch around the clock, would shoot them.” 

That’s ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-g-h-t!  And, they say the camps were ONLY suppose to be for “Japanese” because we were at war…with Japan.

Now…

Do you think, for one second…that these White folk…who were locking these Japanese American citizens up…were taking time out…to diligently check…& question… “Are you Chinese…Vietnamese…Korean…or Japanese…because we don’t want to lock up the wrong people?”  I’ll tell you… “HELL NO!”  To these White folk…THEY ALL LOOKED THE SAME!    They were afraid that there would be more sneak attacks made by these Asian folks…against good ole “White folk” …& they were gonna stop it…by any means necessary. 

Wait a minute!…wait a minute!…my bad…they did do a little something. 

In December 1941, Life Magazine published an article entitled… “How To Tell Japs From The Chinese.”  Yes!  The article was written because angry White folk were victimizing “Chinese” citizens because of how they looked.   Life magazine wanted to tell the good folks of America how to distinguish between Japanese and Chinese folks.  O.k… 

Here we go…

According to Life magazine, Chinese folk can be distinguished by the following characteristics: parchment yellow complexion; scant beard; frequent epicanthic fold of skin above eyelid; higher bridge on the nose; never has rosy cheeks; with long, fine-boned face.

O.k…now, we are getting somewhere…

According to Life magazine, Japanese folk can be distinguished by the following characteristics:  earthly yellow complexion; heavy beard; less frequent epicanthic fold of skin above eyelid; flatter nose; sometimes rosy cheeks; broader, shorter face; massive cheek and jawbone.

Wow! It is not everyday that you learn this kind of information.  This shit is invaluable!!!

(photo courtesy of Pinterest)

Based on what I have learned from Life magazine, I now can spot a Chinese person… from sea to shining sea.  No matter if they are climbing Mount Everest or hiding under a pet rock…I’ll will be able to SPOT them. For sure!   You see…  Not everybody has “parchment yellow” complexions.   And, you got to be able to tell the difference.   How in the hell can you dare confuse a “parchment yellow” complexion with an “earthly yellow” complexion???  COME ON PEOPLE!  Everybody knows this shit.    It’s the same…as the difference between “bubble gum” pink…and “fuschia” pink. 

But, let me tell you what really let me know…that from now on, I will never get a Chinese person mixed up with a Japanese person.   Because Life magazine…has given me such clear & convincing evidence…I know that when I see an Asian person with rosy cheeks…it is with 90% probability…going to be a Japanese Santa Claus.   Yeah! 

Now, let’s keep going…

And, if the truth be told…millions of White folk, then…millions of White folk, now…ARE NOT…too keen on Asian folks, period!  Oh, sure…  They will tolerate them to… a degree.  But, let either…China…Japan…South Korea…North Korea…start some shit…with America…then, guess what???    That’s right!  Before you could bat a lash…their Asian asses will be right back…in internment camps!  I’m telling you the truth.   That’s how millions of White folk…flow…in this country. 

So…to all Asians…in this country…who want to be honorary members of the White Nationalist club…I say…

“Dear Confused: Your asses are never going to be accepted by the racist devils…you are trying to emulate.   If you think that degrading Muslims…Black folk…& Hispanic folk…is going to get you anywhere…you are sadly mistaken.   It will get you no brownie points. You see…

White Nationalists don’t see your asses as equal.  ARE YOU *^%$#@ CRAZY???   They…see Asians…as “chinks”… “slant eyes” …who dared to kill their countrymen in sneak attacks at Pearl Harbor.   That day is forever entrenched into their hearts & they will never forgive any Asian for it.   And, they make no distinction based on whether you are Japanese…Chinese…Korean…blah, blah, blah.  What DO they care about???   These racist devils…care about whether you are White…or…not.   It would be to your benefit to remember this.”

Now…to Ms. Zhu…I say this…

“You so boldly displayed what could easily be seen as a racist ass attitude…towards Muslims & Black folk…in your tweets.   And…  GIRL, I saw you SO PROUDLY wearing your red “MAGA” hat.  YES! Now, all of your reasons for tweeting what you did…only, God knows.   But, I will ask you this…    Are trying to show Trump…you are down with “the cause” of maligning & degrading the folks…that White Nationalists, like him, hate???    Might you be ashamed of being Asian??? Are you trying to be an “honorary” White woman???  Do you think you will be held in higher esteem by White Nationalists…if you are seen as attacking the same folks…that they relish attacking???  

Now…

The Heavenly Father tells us… “Envy thou not the oppressor and choose none of his ways.” (Proverbs 3:31)   I would suggest that you remember these words…for the sake of your soul.”

Well, time is short, so I’ll leave you with this…

If the folks who gave you that “crown” had not already dethroned your ass…I would be telling you…that you could take that crown and shove it up your ass.  But, again…they took that shit from you.  Mmmmhhh… All’s Well, That Ends Well.”

MEDIA FRENZY REPORTS…EXCLAIM: “Trump Meets Kim Jong Un, Becomes First Sitting U.S. President To Step Into North Korea!!!” That Ain’t No Damn News! Donald Trump Is The Devil’s Brother & Kim Jong Un…Is His Son. See??? It’s Nothing But, A Family Affair.

Posted on July 13, 2019 by iriswhiting

OH, MY GOODNESS!!!   On June 30, 2019, President of the United States, Donald Trump, met with Kim Jong Un (Supreme Leader of North Korea), at the demilitarized zone (DMZ), between North Korea and South Korea & then, steps into North Korea…&…the news media has a fit!    This media frenzy, of course, stems in part from the “in love” status, as described by Donald Trump, between him and Kim Jong Un.  Another reason is that no other sitting President has ever gone to North Korea. 

On June 30, 2019…NBC News reports… “Trump Meets Kim Jong Un, Becomes First Sitting U.S. President To Step Into North Korea.”  

Likewise, on June 30, 2019, the Washington Post…prints out… “Trump Becomes First Sitting President To Set Foot Into North Korea.”

Then, on June 30, 2019, CNN quotes James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, as saying … “I think it’s a great historic moment … and it’s the first time a sitting president ever set foot in North Korea.” 

First of all…THIS SHIT AIN’T NO NEWS!!! 

What the hell do I care about  Donald Trump stepping foot into North Korea???  What is the BIG DAMN DEAL…about 1 devil…befriending…another devil???  That’s what devils do!!!

Everyone should know by now that Donald Trump holds high esteem for tyrants like Kim Jong Un.   Trump is a “wanna be” dictator… a “wanna be” Hitler.    So, him going to North Korea are just “two birds of a feather, flocking together.”  THAT’S IT AND THAT’S ALL!

Now, if you want to know…some “REAL NEWS,” about somebody going to North Korea, then, I got some shit to tell you…

(photo courtesy of NBC News)

What was historical…& TRULY newsworthy, was when (former NBA player) Dennis Rodman, a Black man, went to North Korea…and lived to tell about it.  Not once, but several times.  Now, that shit is something!!!

You tell me…  Besides, Dennis Rodman, how many Black folk have you seen in North Korea???  I’ll tell you…NONE! 

Why??? Because they KILLED them all !!!

Shi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-t!!!…

(image courtesy of pinterest)

It appears that spotting Black folk in North Korea…is RARER than, Bigfoot sightings. 

It’s the truth! 

I know because I use to watch…Finding Bigfoot, on the Animal Planet…religiously & there were many  town meetings held, where folks stood up…while holding a rabbit’s foot…and testified, that without a shadow of a doubt…swearing on their grandmother’s cat, Mitzy… “THEY SAW BIGFOOT!”  YES!!!  Now…   If that doesn’t prove to you that Bigfoot is real…then, hell…I don’t know what to tell you.

Now…

What Black man do you know of…besides Dennis Rodman…who would even think about going to North Korea…let alone, ACTUALLY go there???   Huhh!!!   I know what might have happened.  Growing up…Rodman…was probably watching all them damn kung-fu movies with Bruce Lee.   Yeah…his ass got caught up.   Somebody needs to tell him…one, Bruce Lee is dead!!!…and two, Bruce Lee was from Hong Kong, not North Korea.

Anyway…

On June 23, 2017, the Chicago Tribune…in reporting on Rodman’s strange fascination with North Korea, reports… “As always, I advised him not to go, but he doesn’t listen to anyone,” said his friend Elaine Lancaster, a Miami actress who met Rodman in the early 1990s.   “I said Dennis, you realize they have gulags and they have oppressive regimes, right?” Lancaster said. “He said, ‘Yeah, but I haven’t seen it.’ Of course you haven’t seen it!””

But, what can I say??? (mmmmhhhh)… 

In an interview with ABC news,  Rodman says he and Kim Jong Un have sang karaoke and ridden horses together.   During the interview, Rodman…smiles…while holding up a picture, with him & Kim John Un hugging one another.  He goes onto say… “This is a friendship hug.  You rarely see this in the world.  Even with his grandfather and his father.  You don’t see the leaders do this.  Especially with an African-American. You never see this.”  When asked about Kim Jong Un starving the citizens of North Korea…Rodman says… “A lot of people in the world are starving.  Even though they say he is a bad man…to me he is not a bad man.  I did not see that part.”

So, I say this to Dennis Rodman…    “Man…if you are an alcoholic…doing illegal drugs, then, I got a message for you.  JUST SAY…NO!…got damn it!  You heard me!!!  STOP all that GOT DAMN drinking!  STOP all that GOT DAMN drugging! SAY NO…because doing this shit…ain’t working for you!!!  Why???  Because you are ending up in places…like North Korea!   That’s just like a Black man…volunteering to sell barbeque chicken at a KKK rally in Mississippi.  WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON…WITH YOU???  When Black folk were told back in the day…to go North…that didn’t mean to North Korea…man!!!   THEY MEANT WITHIN THE CONTIGUOUS 48 STATES…plus the District of Columbia. DAMN!!!”  

Well, anyway…  

That weeble…wobbling ass Kim Jong Un.  While he’s starving his countrymen to death, he doesn’t look like he is missing any meals.  In between poisoning his brother & shooting his uncle…I see somebody is bringing his fat ass a plate…or 2…or 3.   

And, YES!!!…   Kim Jong Un…did have his uncle, Jang Song-thaek, executed in December 2013.  Jang Song-thaek was said to be the 2nd most powerful person in North Korea…only after Kim Jong Un.  And, you wanna know why Kim Jong Un had him killed???  The word on the street is…it was all about “the clap.”  And, NOOOO, I’m not talking about the venereal disease.  I’m talking about hand-clapping.

It appears that Jang Song-thaek didn’t clap loud enough…or…long enough at a ceremony they had for Kim Jong Un when Kim was elected vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.   On December 13, 2013, NPR news reported… “…there seems to be a lot of genuine personal dislike that Kim Jong Un had for his uncle, and it’s also a way of showing force. Kim seems to be angry that his uncle disrespected him. The Korean Central News Agency – it’s a state-run news agency – said that when Kim was elected vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, his uncle only clapped, quote, “half-heartedly.” 

DAMN!!!   Let this be a lesson.   So, if you happen to find yourself in North Korea, in attendance at a ceremony for Kim Jong Un…where clapping is required, make sure you clap your ass off.  Clap loud enough…clap long enough.  Clap your hands…clap your feet…clap somebody else’s hands.  Just a tip.  So, hopefully you will not be…shot in the head…like poor Uncle Jang Song-thaek.

Well, I’ll tell you one thing…    If you hear about me being in North Korea…you will know that I’ve been kidnapped & drugged.   O.k…  My daddy didn’t ride on airplanes.  He would often say… “If God meant for me to fly…He would have given me wings.”  Well…  In that same vein, I say this…  “If God meant for me to be in North Korea, He would have made me North Korean.”  And, the last time I checked, I was a Black woman…not of Korean descent.  Now…

According to the United Nations…Kim Jong Un…has really been pulling his ass!!!   

LISTEN TO THIS SHIT!!!…

(photo courtesy of MSNBC)

The United Nations estimates the population of North Korea to be approximately 25.67 million.   In case you didn’t know it…North Korea, under Kim Jong Un…is one of the most repressive countries in the world.  According to the United Nations Human Right Council… “On 21 March 2013, at its 22nd session, the United Nations Human Rights Council established the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).  Human Rights Council Resolution 22/13 mandated the body to investigate the systematic, widespread and grave violations of human rights in the DPRK, with a view to ensuring full accountability, in particular, for violations that may amount to crimes against humanity.”  

This Human Rights Council produced a report of its findings in 2014.   According to a 2014 United Nations Inquiry Report…the North Korean government has been off the %$#@$# chart!  From what I see, we have a leader…Kim Jong Un…whose evil deeds come from nowhere but the pits of hell.   And, I don’t say this shit lightly.   The United Nations Inquiry found, in part, the following:

“These crimes against humanity entail extermination, murder, enslavement, torture, imprisonment, rape, forced abortions and other sexual violence, persecution on political, religious, racial and gender grounds, the forcible transfer of populations, the enforced disappearance of persons and the inhumane act of knowingly causing prolonged starvation,” adding that “Crimes against humanity are ongoing in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea because the policies, institutions and patterns of impunity that lie at their heart remain in place.”

“1. Indoctrination from Childhood: Children are taught to revere and idolize Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and now Kim Jong-un. Plaques with slogans, posters and drawings expressing gratitude to the Supreme Leader are found in kindergartens irrespective of the children’s ability to fully comprehend these messages.

There are two basic themes central to the North Korean indoctrination program. One is to instill utmost loyalty and commitment towards the Supreme Leader. The other is to instill hostility and deep hatred towards Japan, the United States of America (USA), and the Republic of Korea (ROK).

Children are taught that they should aspire only to emulate Kim Il-sung.  Such messaging and indoctrination serves not only to create loyalty to the leader from a young age, but effectively works to fracture familial ties as children are expected to display greater respect and commitment towards the Supreme Leader than their own parents.

2. The Mass Games and other compulsory mass propaganda events:   Children and university students in the DPRK are regularly required to participate in parades, mass rallies and other choreographed performances which serve a political purpose. The largest of these performances is the annual mass gymnastics, today generally referred to as the Mass Games.

The Games feature approximately 100,000 children and young adults in a minutely choreographed display of gymnastics, dance, acrobatics, and dramatic performance.

The strict training routine for the Mass Games over such a long period and in such conditions is dangerous to the children’s health and well-being.

3. Ubiquity of propaganda:   Citizens in the DPRK are constantly exposed to ubiquitous state propaganda. The Propaganda and Agitation Department within the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea is primarily responsible for generating propaganda directives.

The propaganda units in local administrations, schools, places of work and at various other levels are responsible for reproducing messages determined at the centre.

Pictures of the Supreme Leaders and monuments dedicated to them are omnipresent. The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported in April 2013 that, “44.8 per cent of the total state budgetary expenditure for the economic development and improvement of people’s living standard was used for funding the building of edifices to be presented to the 100th anniversary of the birth of President Kim Il-sung, the consolidation of the material and technological foundation of Juche-based, modern and self-supporting economy and the work for face-lifting the country.”

As the following accounts illustrate, any damage to or destruction of the images of the leaders is considered a political crime subject to the harshest of punishments –

One witness described how his father had unintentionally soiled an image of Kim Jong-il printed in a used newspaper which he had used to mop up spilt drink and was consequently sent to a political prison camp (kwanliso). The rest of the family was spared this fate, but was rendered as a family with hostile songbun and thus suffered decades of harsh official discrimination.

4. Control of information through tightly controlled State media and prohibition of any external information, including non-political information:  There are four television channels that are broadcast in the DPRK. One channel is for the “ordinary people”, i.e. outside Pyongyang, called Chosun Central Television. Another channel is only for Pyongyang residents called Education and Cultural Broadcasting. A third channel, Kaesong Television, is broadcast to the ROK. On weekends, there is a fourth channel for foreigners called Mansudae Television.

When people buy television sets in the DPRK, they have to register the television with a government authority, the Transmission Surveillance Bureau of the SSD, referred to as Department or Bureau 27. This bureau is responsible for modifying the equipment so that it is able to receive only the approved channel(s) and to block off television channels broadcast from the ROK, China and Russia.

Due to the different capabilities of radio wave frequencies and the changing radio signals depending on atmospheric conditions and solar activity, it is much harder to control radio transmissions.   For this reason, the state does not normally permit ordinary DPRK residents to own radios. Radios inside cars and automobiles are removed before ordinary DPRK citizens can acquire a vehicle.

In 2009, the DPRK informed the Human Rights Council that there are 480 newspapers published and circulated in the DPRK at national and provincial levels, factories, enterprises and universities. It was also claimed that there “were hundreds of kinds of magazines published by scores of publishing houses.” 

A witness who worked in the state media apparatus in the DPRK told the Commission that all of these newspapers, despite their different titles and reporters, have essentially the same content. All media content, including television, newspapers and radio, is controlled by the Publication and Broadcasting Department which operates within the Propaganda Department of the Workers’ Party of Korea.   There is no editorial freedom in the DPRK; all stories published at all levels are pre-determined and centrally controlled.

The Commission learned that while it is possible for an individual to have a telephone installed in the DPRK, it is restricted and extremely expensive. Wiretapping of such telephones was also found to be “enforced in an effort to cut off and control the flow of information.”

5. Suppression of freedom of expression and opinion through surveillance and violence:  Intensive state indoctrination occurs in an environment where the exercise of the right to express facts and opinions critical of the state or its official ideology is not tolerated. One submission received by the Commission highlighted that,

[L]ack of freedom of expression does not only mean a prohibition of certain things. It rather means that everybody has to talk and behave in a certain manner. If, for example, a DPRK citizen who participates in a mass gathering fails to shout “man se” (“May he live 10,000 years!”) and to applaud at the appearance of the “Dear respected Marshall” Kim Jong Un, he might be denounced and punished.

A witness related to the Commission how he was discouraged since his youth by his parents from aspiring to become a writer as no one could write freely. In the DPRK, one can only write about matters which put Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and the Workers’ Party of Korea in a good light. Writers who write beyond this remit were liable to be arrested and treated as political criminals.

At the Seoul Public Hearing, Mr Jang Hae-sung told the Commission: “My friends, people who used to be writers … [w]e are never allowed to write our ideas, our thoughts … for example, this writer, he slipped when he was talking to someone else. He was drunk at the time, he slipped and he said that writers are never allowed to write their ideas and just by saying that, he was sent to Yodok, Camp No. 15…”

The population is in fact encouraged to denounce any conduct that may pose a threat to the political system and its leadership. The Commission received a document, reportedly issued by the Ministry of Public Safety in January 2013, which provides a list of 18 acts or “behaviours” that are to be reported to the security forces. This list includes: committing anti-state, anti-national crimes and promoting to commit them; meeting foreigners illegally and exchanging letters and goods; behaviours which corrupt public morals; and all other kinds of “abnormal behaviours”.

The state has established a vast surveillance apparatus to become aware of the expression of sentiments deemed anti-state or anti-revolutionary. This includes the setting up of a large network of secret informers, who operate in all areas of life. In addition to the monitoring carried out by the officials of the mass organizations, of which membership is compulsory for all citizens, there is also the Neighbourhood Watch.

The Neighbourhood Watch (Inminban) is made up of about 20-40 households with a leader appointed to report to the police or SSD on unusual activities in the neighbourhood including unregistered visitors and monitor for anti-state activities and expressions of dissent. Sometimes villagers are also given orders by security agents to spy on their neighbours.  The Neighbourhood Watch scrutinizes the intimate details of family life. It also has the authority to visit homes at any time, even at night, to determine if there were unregistered guests or adulterous activities, and to report these to security organs for action.

Having come from South Korea, Mr Lee Jae-geun, who provided information to the Commission in Seoul, felt that he was under close surveillance. He stated how there were seven levels of surveillance monitoring him, and that everyone was watching every single word he uttered, every single act he undertook. Anything that appeared suspicious was reported to the SSD.

One witness, whose parents were born in Japan and then “returned” to the DPRK, believed that their family was closely monitored because they were returnees. Her parents never talked about their former life in Japan. They advised her never to talk about Japan in her school. Party officials came to their home and questioned the family, particularly when they received mail from Japan.

There have been recent commentaries regarding DPRK citizens increasingly expressing openly their anger about the economic conditions. It was reported, for example, that when women under 50 were banned from trading in the open markets in North Hamgyong Province in early 2008, a protest staged by groups of women led to a relaxing of the ban. A wave of protests was said to have taken place during the DPRK’s failed attempt at currency reform towards the end of 2009. People were seen burning old currency notes in public in protest. This was however followed by reports of around 50 executions taking place including of the officials supposedly responsible for the policy reform.

6. Denial of freedom of religion and of religious expression:    At the London Public Hearing, the Reverend Stuart Windsor provided testimony regarding the institutionalization of “the personality cult and requirement of unwavering obedience” such that “no political deviation is tolerated”.  The reverence and idolatry of Kim Il-sung was compared to a religious belief, and several sub-principles of the Ten Principles were highlighted to contain elements indicating the religious nature of the state ideology.   In particular, Principle 4 of the Ten Principles states:  Accept the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il-sung’s revolutionary thought as your belief and take the Great Leader’s instructions as your creed. Accepting the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il-sung’s thought as one’s own belief and taking his instructions as one’s creed is the most crucial element requested for one to become an endlessly loyal Juche communist warrior. It is also a precondition for the victory of our revolutionary struggle and its construction.

The independent exercise of Christianity grew in the 1990s, as people who fled to China during the height of the food crisis came into contact with, and often received aid from, local churches. Witnesses claimed the existence of underground churches in the DPRK referring to instances where Christians congregate secretly in homes or other places to practise their religion. It has been suggested that clandestine religious activities have increased since the early 2000s, although more specific details have been difficult to obtain.  One estimate suggests that there are between 200,000 and 400,000 Christians still professing their religion secretly in the DPRK despite the high risks.The Commission finds that despite the establishment of several churches with state approval apparently confined to Pyongyang, the messaging from the state to the people regarding Christianity clearly suggests that ordinary citizens in the DPRK are not permitted to be open to Christianity. It has been compared to a drug, narcotics, a sin, and a tool of Western and capitalist invasion. Christian missionaries are portrayed as the product of USA capitalism and work akin to vampirism.  This appears in line with what Kim Il-sung has been quoted to have stated regarding religion: “Religion is a kind of myth. Whether you believe Jesus or Buddha, it essentially believes a myth.” He had also further directed that, “we cannot take religious people to the socialist society” and “religious people should die to cure their habit”.

Mr Kim Song-ju at the London Public Hearing told the Commission: “To my knowledge, North Korea believes that religion is like narcotics or drugs, and, as a result, it should be completely rooted out. This is expressive of the Marxist belief that religion is the opiate of the masses.”                                         

Although the practice of Christianity is not explicitly criminalized, effectively the authorities consider it a political crime. The Commission finds that the SSD makes concerted efforts to identify Christians. One report describes how security agents are trained to suppress religious activities, and how they are rewarded for uncovering clandestine activities on the basis that religious practitioners are deemed political offenders. These agents also spoke of being trained in religion so that they might infiltrate prayer meetings or pose as religious leaders, and even set up false underground religious meetings.   Identified Christians are interrogated for longer periods, usually under torture, in an effort to identify other members of underground Christian churches. The SSD also monitors the activities of the Korean churches in China and systematically interrogates persons repatriated from China to identify practising Christians among them.

One submission, based on extensive testimonies from Christians clandestinely practising their religion within the DPRK, presented three reasons why Christians are sought by the authorities and seen as political criminals: “(1) [They] do not genuinely worship the leaders, adhere to another ideology and therefore pose a threat to the stability of the society; (2) [They] are considered to be spies of ‘Christian states like South Korea and the United States’; and (3) [They] are held responsible for the end of the communist bloc in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.

                      The Commission received the following testimony:

One witness explained that she had been specifically questioned following repatriation about whether she had gone to church in China. She was caught again another time when she left the DPRK for China and was tortured and detained for one year to confess that she was a Christian. She was informed that her friend had told the authorities of her belief in Christianity. She refused to confess and was sent to Kyohwaso No. 11.

Both of Mr A’s sisters were punished severely for their religious belief and activities. One was discovered to be preaching Christianity to a friend and was caught with a Bible resulting in a 13 year sentence in an ordinary prison camp (kyohwaso). The other was caught in China. As a result of the starvation rations and horrendous living conditions, the first sister almost died in prison and only survived after Mr A paid a substantial bribe to free her after three years of confinement. The other sister was labelled a political criminal because it was discovered that she had practised Christianity in China and had also attempted to flee to the ROK. She was sent to Yodok Camp and was never heard from again.

7. Discrimination based on social class and birth: the songbun system, past and present: Through the Songbun system, the state places citizens of the DPRK into three broad classes with approximately 51 more specific categories, although the actual categories seem to have been adjusted over the years.   Decisions about residency, occupation, access to food, health care, education and other services have been contingent on songbun. Songbun is also reflected through geographic segregation.

Elites are concentrated among the population officially permitted to live in Pyongyang, which has a population of 3.3 million according to the 2008 population census. The ruling elites among them are assigned to live in the most modern part of the capital. Goods and public services in Pyongyang are superior to those in other regions. Ordinary citizens of low or medium songbun are precluded from residing in Pyongyang, and even obtaining the right to visit Pyongyang is difficult.

Mr Kim Soo-am of the Korea Institute for National Unification [of the Republic of Korea] described the continuing impact of songbun at the Seoul Public Hearing:

“Family background is also a core factor in discriminating between people, allowing different levels of access to the right of food. The core elites who live in Pyongyang or other major cities still receive benefits in terms of medicine, and those who live in the ri [villages], the level of residents, they have very limited access to medical facilities, so the rights to enjoy healthy life [are] also discriminated and not guaranteed…”

The highest songbun was awarded to family members of guerrillas who fought with Kim Il-sung against Japanese forces (although many of them were eventually subject to purges over the years).   The lowest songbun was given to, among others, formerly wealthy industrialists, alleged spies, Catholics and Buddhists. In effect, a family’s history even before the establishment of the DPRK pre-determined a citizen’s destiny in the DPRK.

The determination of songbun is recorded in a comprehensive resident registration system with detailed files on all adult citizens and their families. The systematic compilation of these files by security agencies and institutions of the Workers’ Party of Korea is not a transparent process, and determinations cannot be contested.

Songbun appears also to be an important factor when considering the punishment for a criminal offense. As one witness explained, when someone with higher songbun commits the same crime as someone with lower songbun, the one with the higher songbun will get the lighter punishment.

Administratively, the Songbun system is based on carefully recorded information on every DPRK citizen and his or her family. The state authorities established a comprehensive resident registration file on every citizen aged 17 and older. These files contain biographical information including genealogy and indications of ideological steadfastness and political loyalty, which are ascertained through evaluations of a person’s performance in different circumstances such as acts at work and through the weekly “confession and criticism” sessions.”

***END OF REPORT***

Alright…

I have a question.   Based on the findings of the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights…what does North Korea sound like to you???  Because for me, it sure sounds a hell of a lot…like Nazi Germany.   It also sounds an awful lot… like Apartheid…South Africa. 

NOW…if I didn’t know that the Heavenly Father is real…& therefore, reincarnation does not exist…I WOULD SWEAR…on Jethro & Grannie (I’ll leave Jed & Ellie Mae out of this)…that Kim Jong Un…was Adolf Hitler…REINCARNATED!!!  

Now…

If I don’t know anything else about North Korea…I do, know this…   The Devil, yes, the one & only…who is also known as Satan…is ruling his human minions in North Korea.   Kim Jong Un…is surely of his father, the Devil…and the work of his father…he does.  Hands Down! 

And…

(photo courtesy of NBC News)

The shit that Kim Jong Un is doing in North Korea…is right up Donald Trump’s alley.  Donald Trump, wishes with all of his might…that the United States could operate just like North Korea…with him as the “Supreme Leader.”   People…you better know who you are dealing with.  This shit is REAL and happening in REAL TIME!   This is not make-believe…this is no myth.   As you go about your daily business…know that millions of North Korean’s are living in pure hell. 

And…

What is happening in North Korea today…WILL happen in the United States tomorrow… if God’s children aren’t diligent in resisting the Devil, his demons and human minions.

One reason that millions…upon millions…were killed during WWII…was because too many people…slept on the fact…that Adolf Hitler was also a child of the Devil.   While a few were trying their damnedest to sound the alarm…the multitude was scurrying about…blind & deaf to all of the warning signs.  Many were viewing Hitler the same way…Dennis Rodman…views Kim Jong Un.    On 4/28/19, History News Network.org…reports… “Throughout the pre-war period, FDR (President Franklin D. Roosevelt) strove to maintain cordial diplomatic and economic relations with Nazi Germany. He sent Secretary of Commerce Daniel Roper to speak at a German-American rally in New York City in 1933, where the featured speaker was the Nazi ambassador to Washington, and a large swastika flag was displayed on stage.”  

Many waited too long to react to Hitler’s evil ass.  This gave him the ability to gain a stronger footing.    This stronger footing allowed Hitler to fight on longer…which led to so many more deaths. 

So…

We must fight…24/7… against Donald Trump, those who support him and those who carry out his evil deeds.    Tyranny & oppression must be fought against…everywhere we find it. The Heavenly Father punishes those who are tyrannical and oppressive.

Zecharia 7:8-14 tells us… “The word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying: 9 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; 10 do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another. 11 But they refused to listen, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears in order not to hear. 12 They made their hearts adamant in order not to hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent by his spirit through the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the Lord of hosts. 13 Just as, when I called, they would not hear, so, when they called, I would not hear, says the Lord of hosts, 14 and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they had not known. Thus the land they left was desolate, so that no one went to and fro, and a pleasant land was made desolate.”

All I can say is this… “I would have fainted but for knowing the goodness of my Heavenly Father in the land of the living!!!”

It’s July 4th In 2019…& The Statue Of Liberty STILL Reads… “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” HOLD UP! HOLD UP!…Did I Miss Something??? Does The Lady…Exclude Brown Folk???

Posted on July 4, 2019 by iriswhiting

It is about 4:31 a.m., East coast time…as I am writing to you, my dear loved ones…on the dawn of what we call… “Independence Day.”  I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the absolute hypocrisy of it all.   Meaning???  Meaning…  It is July the 4th in America…where many will celebrate this country’s independence…feasts on barbeque this & that…watch fireworks and just have a grand ole time…while other folks…are being caged up like…wild beast…without just cause…on American soil…& living in abject filth.

So, what the hell is going on???  I’ll tell you…

(map courtesy of the Library of Congress)

The US southern border is overwhelmed with increasing numbers of migrants.  There are a lot of migrants from Central American…mainly, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras…who are seeking asylum.  The rational for these folks migrating north…is for a variety of reasons.  Some of these folks were subsistence farmers who struggled to make a living due to extreme drought or excessive rain conditions in their homeland.   They migrate north…for a chance to due better.  Other migrants, have faced off the chart violence in their homelands…where corrupt officials…have jumped right into the fray…running shit…as criminal gangsters.  Unless, I have walked a mile in their shoes…far be it from me…to judge their motivation.  I’ll leave that to God. 

Now…

That raggedy ass Donald Trump…has done nothing but turn a tough situation…of handling Border security, while processing legitimate claims…into a got damn nightmare.   Instead of following in the path of President Obama, of working steadily towards improving how the U.S. handles asylum seekers and so-called “illegal immigration” …that racist bastard has followed his natural inclinations to oppress. Instead of having more staff to process folks faster at the detention facilities & then, release them while they wait for their asylum hearings…Trump chooses to imprison them… in deplorable conditions.    While folks should be having a turn around time of 3 days or so, many are being held in detention… for several weeks and for several months.   Instead of adding more Administrative Law Judges…so the asylum applications could be processed faster…his evil ass is focused on wasting billions of dollars for a “wall.”   He hates it so much that these brown folks are coming to this country, that if it takes treating them like shit…to stop them, then, for him… “So be it!” 

(above photo courtesy of DHS Office of Inspector General)

Well, the slowness in processing claims…& the refusal to quickly release folks…has led to over crowding at the detention centers.   The detention center facilities are not big enough to hold all the migrants that are being piled into them.   The facilities are not equipped with enough showers, beds, toilets, toiletries, clothing, food and water, to humanely provide for the needs of the folks…for a few days…let alone, for weeks and months at a time.   Children and adults have been wearing the same damn clothes for weeks…without any showers.   Hence, their clothing is covered with mucus…urine and feces. How is a child suppose to be kept healthy without proper hygiene and nutrition??? 

Let’s keep going…

CBS news reported out yesterday… “A veteran Border Patrol agent, who did not want their identity revealed, spoke with CBS News about what he has seen. “Two things hit you right off the bat, the moment you open or walk through these doors of a processing area of any of our facilities: you hear kids crying and simultaneously, you get hit with the smell of people that have been there for too long,” the agent said.””

Yesterday, The Atlantic…reports… “Federal investigators detailed dangerous overcrowding and long detention times at Border Patrol facilities in Texas.  Adults and children are strewn across the floor behind fencing; some are covered by mylar blankets—aluminum-foil-like sheets designed to keep the cold out in cool temperatures and to deflect the heat in warm temperatures—others are lying uncovered on the cement.”   Cement???  You try sleeping on cement…& see how it feels.  You talk about aching…and sore.  You see…  That got damn cement floor is not going to give.  

On July 2, 2019, the New York Times said… “Overcrowding was so severe that when the agency’s internal inspectors visited some of the facilities, migrants banged on cells and pressed notes to windows begging for help. After touring a facility in Clint, Tex., where a group of lawyers had reported that children had gone unfed and unwashed, Democratic lawmakers said they had met migrants who were not given fresh water and were forced to drink from toilets.” 

You know what…  But, for the grace of God…I have NEVER…EVER…had to drink out of a %*$#@*# toilet…in order to get some water.   COME ON!!!

Let’s keep going…

O.k…  Check out the above picture…again. I mean…R-E-A-L-L-Y look at it.  Folks… This is not where the people are staying for a few hours.  This is where and how they are living for days… weeks & months on end.  They are not being transferred to a bigger room with a cot.  This is also where they are sleeping.   WHAT THE HELL!!!

And, if that wasn’t enough, let’s try this on… 

The Office of the Inspector General…released a report on July 2 2019, about these deplorable conditions in the detention facilities. The folks who wrote this report work under the Trump Administration. O.k. The report states in pertinent part: “In addition to the overcrowding we observed, Border Patrol’s custody data indicates that 826 (31 percent) of the 2,669 children at these facilities had been held longer than the 72 hours generally permitted under the TEDS standards and the Flores Agreement. For example, of the 1,031 UACs held at the Centralized Processing Center in McAllen, TX, 806 had already been processed and were awaiting transfer to HHS custody. Of the 806 that were already processed, 165 had been in custody longer than a week.

In addition to holding roughly 30 percent of minor detainees for longer than 72 hours, several Rio Grande Valley facilities struggled to meet other TEDS standards for UACs and families. For example, children at three of the five Border Patrol facilities we visited had no access to showers, despite the TEDS standards requiring that “reasonable efforts” be made to provide showers to children approaching 48 hours in detention. At these facilities, children had limited access to a change of clothes; Border Patrol had few spare clothes and no laundry facilities.

In the Border Patrol facilities we visited, we also observed serious overcrowding and prolonged detention among adult detainees. TEDS provides that “under no circumstances should the maximum [cell] occupancy rate, as set by the fire marshal, be exceeded.” However, at one facility, some single adults were held in standing room only conditions for a week and at another, some single adults were held more than a month in overcrowded cells (see figures 4 and 5).”

O.k…answer me this…

When did God determine that migrating to the U.S. to flee oppression and violence…to be a crime???   When did taking steps to preserve life…become…a repulsive endeavor??? 

These folks are literally living in filth…with little food…& water. It is cruel…and…without a doubt…inhumane…in the sight of God.  Remember, the Heavenly Father’s children are among these folks who are migrating here.  As He watches this shit…how can His anger not be kindled???  

Now, you tell me… What American citizen…would desire to receive such inhospitable treatment if the shoe was on the other foot???  Huh???   I dare say none.  ABSOLUTELY NONE!  

And, this includes…Donald Trump’s ass. He wouldn’t want to live like this. Yet, when it comes to Hispanic folk…his cruelty seems to know…no bounds.

Trump’s way of dealing with the heavy numbers of migrants is to DETER…DETER…DETER.  He thinks to his devilish self… “I will do everything in my power, as President of the United States, to stop these got damn people from ever becoming citizens of the United States. If they refuse to stop coming here, then, I will treat them like the dirt…they are. I will make their lives a living hell.”  He tweeted out the following yesterday:

If Illegal Immigrants are unhappy with the conditions in the quickly built or refitted detentions centers, just tell them not to come. All problems solved!

1:22 PM – 3 Jul 2019

***end of tweet***

Now, don’t lose heart & take consolation in this…  

God will deal with this worker of the devil…we call Donald Trump.  He is not our problem. For…Donald Trump…will surely “reap every got damn thing that he has done.” 

God tells us… “7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. 8 If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit.” (Galatians 6:7-8) 

19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” (Romans 12: 19)

You see…  Our job is to resist the Devil…who is influencing & guiding Donald Trump…and his other doers of evil.

So, what do we do to help???…

We contact anyone we know…including legislators, lawyers, activists, neighbors and get them involved in this situation…to provide help…immediately.

But, the most valuable & precious thing you can do…is call on God.  This is best that you can do and it moves mountains!  God listens to & answers the prayers of the righteous.  PRAISE GOD! 

So, I ask you…as a child of God…to pray this prayer:

“Heavenly Father, you know the circumstances that your children are enduring in these border detention facilities.  Bless them with the help they need so they won’t be living in such deplorable conditions.  Send your workers Father so your children are quickly released from these detention centers.  Turn what the devil means as a curse against them, into a blessing for them.  Let them know that they are not alone & that you have not forsaken them.  Tell them that they are loved by folks who don’t even know their names.  Heal their bodies, hearts and minds from any trauma or lack that they have suffered.  Use this Father as an opportunity to bring them closer to you.   Give them a peace that passes all human understanding while they are enduring these trials.  Let them know that this too, shall pass.  I pray these things in the name of Jesus.  Amen.”
