At 60 I find myself no closer to truly knowing God than when I was a kid. I spend my days watching the old t.v. show Columbo with Peter Falk and the old t.v. sitcom Leave it to Beaver on the live Roku channel.


Life is not the way I thought it would be. Our society is changing. Our leaders who are really run by elitist globalists have allowed mass migration to overwhelm us as a nation. Europe was overrun first, the UK is unrecognizable with Muslims allowed to roam freely and break the law with impunity.


Here in the U.S. the last five years the borders were open to millions of unvetted illegals that the Biden Administration invited. They as in the U.K. and most of Europe were given benefits not even given to their own citizens. They were given food stamps, housing, medical insurance, medi-cal in California, in some cases cars, loans and of course money to live on. While our own poor were homeless and couldn’t see a doctor because they couldn’t afford it. Even our own veterans were homeless.

Our elderly and poor were denied any kind of help and were scrutinized when they asked for help. Most of the illegals were military aged men. (I suspect a standing army for the globalists in case we ever get out of line.)

 

When Trump won the presidency last year he promised accountability. He hasn’t done a damn thing. Newsom is still the governor in California after he burned down Los Angeles, and Palisades and additional neighborhoods as well last year. There was no water in the reservoirs like there should have been. Basically, the houses all burned down for lack of water.


He and Karen Bass the mayor of Los Angeles continually obstruct Federal Law and Ice Immigration officers from doing their job of deporting illegal aliens at every turn. There have been massive riots with Mexican flags waving as banners, freeways blocked, and property damaged. The ICE cars burning and graffiti strewn across its doors, the buildings that were graffitied and the cars making donuts in the streets were all defended by Newsom and the mayor and Democrats in Congress.


They egregiously fought the deportation of an illegal MS-13 gang member who illegally resided in Maryland. Known as the "Maryland dad" by the Democrats, the Trump administration had him deported to El Salvador only to have Democratic senators and congressman defend him and demanded his release when none of them ever visited any American citizen who was murdered by an illegal. Lakin Riley, Jocelyn Nungary and Rachel Morin are names you will never hear a Democrat say. Why? Because their black hearts bleed for criminal illegals who murder and terrorize American citizens. Jocelyn was only 12, when illegals raped and murdered her. It is the same story in the United Kingdom and Western Europe.


It was President Trump's promise to deport those who entered illegally. He and Border Czar Tom Homan have tried to make good on that promise. Only to be stymied by Democratic mayors, like Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson and Karen Bass of Los Angeles as well as a myriad of other Democratic mayors, assemblyman, governors, state legislators, congressmen, and senators. Every low official to the highest Democratic official refuses to cooperate with ICE. Judges have blocked President Trump's executive orders and refuse to uphold the law in favor of their political agendas.


Yet Newsom and other governors and judges who openly defy Federal law have not been arrested but continue to obstruct the Trump administration at every turn still remain in office. Not one person under the Biden administration has been arrested. Merrick Garland who persecuted and demonized those who took part in the January 6th protests were hunted down and jailed for years, and their lives were ruined. Merrick Garland who went after parents and called them domestic terrorists when they didn’t want their children groomed by the schools and sexually abused by explicit reading material.


No arrests still. Trump promised. He lied. The lying weasel Fauci still remains free after he lied and had vaccines forced on us. Under Biden those who refused the Covid vaccination were fired from their jobs. They turned the whole society against the unvaccinated and even refused them entrance to some restaurants, threatened to keep them out of schools and universities and yes, even threatened those who would not take the “jab” admittance into hospitals if they fell ill.


Democrats have destroyed the greatness of this country and still have not been brought to the justice they deserve. Meanwhile Muslims are now given the preferential treatment the LGBTQ once had. Muslims can do whatever they want. So can blacks. ( I want to add I believe the majority of black people do not have a hateful and entitled racist mentality.) Blacks are excused to commit violence because of their race. Under the Biden administration theft of stores was rampant. Many stores including our own Rite Aid have closed due to repeated theft. They declared bankruptcy because the Democrats excused theft because of skin color.


Still no justice for Austin Metcalf who was fatally stabbed in the chest at a track meet by Karmelo Anthony. But because Karmelo is black he was out on bond and allowed to graduate high school while Austin Metcalf was buried by his family.  The Metcalf family was harassed and their home was swatted several times. They were called racists for wanting justice for their dead 17 year old son Austin. Anyone who sided with the Metcalf family was also labeled a racist.


Recently three white people were brutally beaten in Philadelphia by a mob of black people. They beat them for no other reason than being white. It is the same if we try to hold black criminals accountable, we are accused of racism.


I suspect the Lord is punishing us and Western Europe, Australia and Canada as well for murdering unborn babies through the abortion industry and for celebrating and changing the genders of our children. In the last years especially under Newsom in California and the Biden administration children have been allowed to choose their own gender regardless of the gender they were born with. The Biden administration had encouraged children to take hormone blockers and to have their bodies mutilated. If their parents objected they would lose custody of their own children.


While unborn babies were murdered in the womb up until the time of birth. I suspect 100 million babies have been aborted in this nation alone since 1973 when Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in the United States.


Yes, God brings vicious nations to punish and destroy rebellious and evil nations that should have known better, who were supposed to be Christian as we, Europe, Canada, and Australia claimed to be. Now all are being overrun by Muslims who will not obey Western law. Our leaders do not hold them accountable so they are allowed to rape and murder as they claim is their custom. These Muslim immigrants make no bones about coming to conquer us. But the leaders like devil worshiper Keir Starmer of Great Britain and I use the term very lightly Prince Charles, (I will never call him King) continually bend backwards to favor Muslim communities they have invited to take the country from British citizens.


The only countries I know of willing to defend their own borders and citizens are Hungary and Poland and are demonized for doing so. Spain, Italy, Germany, Norway and France have also allowed their nations to be overrun by so-called asylum seeking military aged men.


Israel still continues to fight in Gaza. They never got all of their hostages back. October 7th still burns a hole in their hearts as 1,200 civilians, men, women and children, elderly and babies were viciously butchered by Hamas. Not since the Holocaust has Israel suffered such a loss of life in such a brutal way. Yet our universities applauded, sided, and protested for Gaza and Hamas.

There hasn’t been so much antisemitism worldwide since World War 2. Universities, our own universities, like Harvard, Berkeley, Yale, Columbia, all the big universities strewn with Hamas sympathizers. It’s a disgrace that our young, our own citizens would side with such brutality.


The war has been raging on for nearly 2 years. People sympathizing with Gaza as they judge Israel for defending itself. Wars are brutal, precisely why they are avoided, or should be avoided. When Hamas paratroopers and soldiers went into Israel that day, that day that will live in infamy, (not January 6th) Hamas declared war. Israel has a right to see the war to its conclusion.


Even the precious red-headed babies Ariel and Kfir and their mother Shirl Bibbas were taken hostage then brutally murdered. Many other families suffered the same fate of wholesale slaughter.


Before Gaza there was the war in Ukraine under Biden which was destroyed as a nation under Zelensky the beggar. Ukraine was never the same. Reported deaths varied. You can’t trust the mainstream media to report anything as they are a propaganda tool for the left.


At the beginning of the horrific Biden administration he recklessly pulled our soldiers out of Afghanistan in shame leaving soldiers, expensive weaponry and military equipment which cost us billions, worse he betrayed and left allies behind who were promised asylum for helping us. They died there and of the course the Taliban resumed right where they left off before the disastrous war the liar Bush began over 20 years ago.


George W. Bush who lied to us about "weapons of mass destruction" after 9/11 dragged us into a 20 year conflict. Now he hides underneath his dog paintings like the coward he is.


Every politician is aligned with globalist intentions if not the globalists themselves. Obama was a disgrace. Even though people hailed him as some kind of Messiah. He lied and basically sold our country out.


But I believe God is allowing this for His purposes for His people to come back from their idols and from their wickedness.


We have lived in apathy too long. Expecting someone else to do what we should be doing. We roll along watching t.v. shows of a bygone era as if we can hide in them simply by watching them.


Something is expected of us today. We have lived on the days of wine and roses for decades believing the persecution other nations have suffered would never touch us because we are Americans. We thought we lived in a bubble of prosperity and peace, behind our white picket fences. We never believed we would ever live to see the day locusts would be released to devour everything we have worked for. I believe this mass immigration crisis are the locusts.


We know that half of the nation will not work with us to preserve our once great nation. They have been chipping away at it for years, with every court ruling and every piece of legislation. They have been undermining us for years, they have been wolves in our schools and universities, in our congress, and have masqueraded as our neighbors even.


Even the weakest among us, even with the weakest of faith it is imperative for us to wake up and cry out to God, if He will show us the mercy we don't deserve. It can only be God who can turn things around. The wolves are among us, they are here. If we stay silent, if we don't do something, if we don't pray, if we don't preach the Gospel of Jesus this darkness we find ourselves in will overtake us.


It may not be too late for Europe, it may not be too late for Great Britain, only God knows. But one thing I know for certain.


REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND! !
