It is interesting to see liberals crying because President Trump is making so many cuts to the budget by firing federal workers. President Biden deliberately trashed the economy by spending billions of dollars in the last  three months in office with no authorization from Congress, in order to fuel inflation and make it difficult for President Trump to control it. A lot of it has been untraceable and a lot of it that has been was traced to companies connected to Democrat Congressmen like Stacey Abrams. That is in addition to expanding the national debt to seven times what  it was when he took office. That is going to take a lot of cutting to balance the budget because those expenditures were not in the budget. The Balanced Budget Amendment requires budget cuts equal to every new expenditure. Democrats have consistently gotten around it by constantly forcing increases in the debt ceiling to allow them to continue taxing and spending. That has got to stop. You can only increase the debt so far before you are paying so much interest that you aren’t paying anything on the principle. Then it becomes a Black hole you can’t get out of. There has also been very little oversight of the government agencies in recent years and there has been a tremendous amount of waste building  up. Liberal Congressmen claim President Trump has no authority to make cuts in the various agencies which shows how ignorant they are of the Constitution. The agencies are part of the executive branch and are under the direct supervision of the President with the oversight of the Senate. The President appoints the agency heads and oversees their operation. President Biden did not hesitate to manipulate the agencies to promote his agendas. For instance, he authorized the Post Office to deliver abortion pills to States that did not allow abortion and authorized Veteran’s hospitals to perform abortions in those States in violation of State laws. If President Biden has the authority to order the agencies to violate the law, President Trump definitely has the authority to order them to obey the law.

Tutoring-A- Many of our public schools have a poor record of teaching and many students are failing. While there are many dedicated Christian teachers in the public schools, they are often hampered by class size and administrative demands. As our public schools become increasingly short on staff, many children are not getting the attention they need to succeed and are falling behind in school. Teachers rarely have time to spend helping students who are struggling. Many kids also fall behind in school because their parents may not be able to help them because their schools failed to help them when they fell behind. In addition, immigrants entering the U.S. may have only a minor grasp of English. Many students have learning disabilities, but far more are merely poorly motivated due to their home situation and lack of encouragement at school. Sterile public classrooms often teach by memorization and fail to encourage students to explore the wonders and majesty of God’s creation. All need assistance to help them. While many schools offer tutoring, many of them are not adequate. Volunteer tutors are needed for tutoring programs that can provide one-on-one assistance that teachers don’t have time for. Volunteers can also show that someone cares and can share a love of learning. Christian school students are often well ahead of public school students and many failing public school students tutored by caring Christian tutors often surpass their classmates. Tutoring can take place at school, after school, or in local churches.

Making America Great Again-A-A

14 Feb

President Trump’s slogan of making America great again appeals to a lot of older people who remember America’s golden age in the 1960s and 1970s when the economy was booming, jobs were plentiful, and our streets were safe. While the threat of nuclear war cast a shadow on the prosperity, times were generally good. Russia knew they could not conquer us with their military because America had a great military. They also knew they couldn’t seize control of the government because Americans would resist and Americans were well armed due to the Second Amendment allowing citizens to own guns. However they had one thing America did not have, and that was patience. They knew that if you chip away at a foundation long enough, eventually the house will fall. It might take  three or four generations, but they were willing to wait.  Like Satan in the  Garden of Eden, socialism appeals to man’s greed. Europe fell fairly quickly because Christianity there was mostly an empty shell. Europeans had long ago given up belief in God even though they retained the outward appearance. America still retained a strong church that taught Christian values and those values were widely accepted beyond the church. The Socialists knew that strong Christians would not support their humanist values. Respect for life, the rule of law, and the value of the individual and personal property are deadly to those who seek to take over the world. Total control requires elimination of your opponents, twisting the law to your advantage, and seizing personal property. In addition, it requires submission of the individual to their control. Dictators require total obedience and those who put obedience to God first will not obey those who want to be the first and the only authority, when that authority requires them to disobey God. They knew that to overthrow America they would have to break down its allegiance to God, which was the foundation of our success.

 

 
 

Fifth Sunday of Epiphany-Feb 9

07 Feb

Volunteer at food Banks/Community meal sites. As the cost of food and other expenses rise and incomes fall, money becomes tight and families must choose between paying the rent and purchasing food. Many are turning to food banks for help. Food banks are facing rising demand and need donations of paper products not covered by food stamps and food, as well as money to meet operating costs. In addition, they need volunteers to help collect food, sort the food, stock shelves, and assist clients. Many churches are also starting congregate meals for the homeless and for elderly and single residents that do not otherwise get adequate nutrition. Donations of food are needed as well as volunteers to assist with cooking, setting up facilities, serving clients, and cleaning up afterward. Many such meals are run completely by volunteers with donated food.

The various government departments were established to provide a means to carry out the laws passed of Congress. The President is charged with overseeing them with the help of the Senate. Over time, Congress got lazy and began passing vague laws and allowed the departments to flesh out the policies and carry them out. As a result, the various departments have become a law unto themselves and have run rough over the American people, openly abusing their powers. Often departments and agencies have seized property and punished those who resisted with no oversight and leaving innocent citizens with no legal recourse. President Biden used the various agencies and department to get around laws and opposition through executive orders directing them to openly violate federal and State laws. He distributed billions of dollars to Planned Parenthood for abortions here and overseas and used agency power to force foreign nations to accept abortions, in spite of federal laws which prohibit federal funds going to support abortions here or overseas. He directed the veterans hospitals to perform abortions in States that prohibited it and directed the Post Office to facilitate the delivery of abortion drugs to States that had outlawed abortion. Such an abuse of power and violation of federal laws would have gotten any former President impeached but Democrats prevented an investigation. Many people think President Trump is being too heavy-handed but he only has four years to clean out a deeply entrenched bureaucracy.

Government agencies have no real incentive to cut costs. The government has free reign to tax and can demand more taxes when they want to spend more. A practice that President Biden has made full use of. The government has no competition to force them to cut costs and often pads its organization with useless administration positions. The department heads who have been appointed as rewards for supporting the party owe their allegiance to the party. Since their experience is mainly in politics, they have little experience in running things efficiently. It is time we turned  the government over to those who have know how to run organizations efficiently. President Trump is the first President in recent times that has a business background and was not a career politician. He entered his first term with a good understanding of business, but with very little understanding of politics and he was hampered by not having a majority in both houses which made it difficult for him to accomplish much. However, he learned a lot the first time and has been working hard since then so he has come to his second term well prepared for dealing with Congress and the Deep State. He has sought to fill key offices in the departments with people who are well experienced in running large corporations and know how to cut red tape and streamline organizations, rather than political appointees with very little experience.Businesses have to cut waste as much as possible to keep costs down so they do not price their products out of the market.

It seems that FEMA suddenly had lots of money because they rushed aid to California while the wildfires were still burning out of control. It is a serious abuse of power to use government funds to help California when they still had not sent aid to those in N. Carolina who was still struggling to recover after  the Hurricanes that hit it, just because California voted for Democrats while N. Carolina did not. Government help should not be given out on the basis of political affiliation since tax dollars come from taxpayers without regard to political affiliation. The President is supposed to look out for the welfare of the whole country, not just those who voted for him and he has no right to use taxpayer funds to reward his friends and ignore his political opponents. Numerous FEMA workers surveying the damage reported being told to bypass houses that had signs supporting Trump. It is high time for a thorough investigation of the way FEMA has been doing business to see  if this has been a long-standing practice or recent development and the people responsible should be held accountable.

Fourth Sunday of Epiphany-Feb 2

30 Jan

Volunteer for Social Service Agencies. With increased cuts in funding to government poverty programs, many of those in need are turning to non-profit agencies like the Salvation Army for help. Such agencies are being overwhelmed with those in need and lack the funds to meet the needs. Many are in need of donations to meet the increased need. Many also lack funds to hire adequate staff. Volunteers are needed to answer the phones, interview clients, do filing and assist with data entry. Many jobs are fairly simple and the agencies provide training. Hours are usually flexible within their office hours and agencies are glad for whatever time you can provide. Many companies hiring require experience in addition to training and volunteering helps a worker gain experience and often provides access to companies and agencies they deal with who may be hiring. In addition, the company or agency they volunteer for may have an opening and will often hire someone they already know over a stranger.

It is interesting to see the liberal media attack anyone who gets in the way of what they want. Liberals are crying how President Trump is violating the Constitution and trashing the 14th Amendment. At issue is birthright citizenship. President Trump is seeking to enforce the 14th Amendment as it is written. It states “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Liberals have been granting citizenship to babies of illegal immigrants and babies of women who crossed the border so their babies could be citizens of the United States. However, those babies don’t qualify because neither parent is “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” Since neither parent has established any legal status the babies don’t qualify. It will not effect those who have at least one parent who is here legally, only those who have come illegally. Since a great many babies have been illegally granted citizenship, it is going to create a real mess. We cannot simply pick and choose what part of a law we want to enforce.  The Amendment places two qualifications on citizenship and one alone is not sufficient. Liberals claim that President Trump is depriving these kids of their rights which sounds terrible but since the law never granted them that right, he is not depriving them of anything. He is merely restoring the rule of law and enforcing it as it was written.
