Corrupt Democrats in the house and Senate, which we believe includes all of them, wasted millions in taxpayer money and everybody’s time in attempting to impeach Donald Trump on trumped up charges-forgive the pun-and failed miserably. That corruption and incompetence should have been a total embarrasement to Democrats but they even tried again to impeach Donald Trump after he left office. They were dumb enough to think they could impeach him of insurrection charges. How could people in a free country elect such fools to office?
Now we have a new revelation that one of the individuals who was arrested and charged in the Capitol Riot was one of their very own- a dedicated Marxist and regular at Black Lives Riots who already had pending charges for his actions in a riot elsewhere. This is the type of people the Democrats praise as peaceful demonstrators and racial justice advocates. According to newspapers reports he was seen on a video calling for revolution and burning down government buildings. He was also reported to be on video encouraging rioters at the Capitol as they broke into government offices. Isn’t that what happens at Black Lives Matter Riots? Now according to newspaper reports some Black Lives people are disowning him and suggesting he was an agent of Donald Trump, we presume to damage the sterling reputation of Black Lives Matter. Now can we expect that grand chorus of most of the News Media and the Democrat Party to chime in right on key singing the same song?
The attorneys for the person arrested, John Earl Sullivan, have released a contract he had to take videos of the “Assault”‘ on the Capitol. from CNN and NBC News. Many people feel most of the news media has become a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party and an apologist for the philophies of Karl Marx. Which brings up some questions about what these so called news organizations were trying to accomplish in hiring John Sullivan. Why did they hire John Sullivan when they had their own experienced camera people? What was agreed to verbally between John Sullivan and CNN anc NBC and not in the contract to avoid a paper traail?
Was this a staged insurrection compliments of CNN and NBC? Why did they hire a person who was already facing charges of inciting a riot in another city? Will John Sullivan’s attorneys work out a plea agreement with law enforcement in exchange for his cooperation in giving all the details of what CNN and NBC wanted him to accomplish?
Will CNN and NBC soon be facing charges of conspiracy to starting a insurection? Will high profile Democrats be implicated in a “staged insurrection” given the unholy alliance that some see between the Democratic Party and most of the news media to bring insurrection charges against Donald Trump?

Should President Biden be Impeached?
President Biden seems to be trying to destroy The United States with his pen. One of his first executive orders or executive executions was the killing of thousands of jobs of people working on a pipeline that would help insure energy independence for the United States. This indicates his subservience to leftists who want to weaken the United States economically.
This pipe line after going through hearing after hearing and court case after court case was finally approved. With the stroke of his poison pen Biden destroyed thousands of jobs and undid years of hard work by people who care about the economic success of the United States. Now he will be likely to support the bad new green deal which radicals are supporting to attempt to control energy in our country and force us to pay exorbitant energy costs for inefficient expensive energy in their attempt to harm our economy.
Biden also wants to increase our taxes and that along with destroying employment in a time of economic downturn should be considered a crime against the people of the United States. Biden is a wealthy man and because of this he will still be able to enjoy a lavish life style while the citizens of the United States suffer from his mis deeds. How did he become wealthy serving as a government employee?
While incompetence might not be an impeachable offence breaking the laws of the land by a president should be. We have laws against illegal immigration and Biden is using his pen of supression against the people of the United States to circumvent the law and allow illegals to come into the United States. He even has said that no illegal immigrant would be sent back to their own country and would be allowed to enter the U.S.
Why should we citizens be horrified at Biden’s action. First he is trying to circumvent immigration laws by executive orders which should be an impeachable act. Biden and his leftist associates think that if we allow these illegal immigrants to come into this country they will eventually be allowed to become citizens and hope they will vote Democrat. Of course they would not bite the hand that feeds them. This would work wonderfully for Democratic/Leftist/Marxists who want one party rule that will give them complete control over everybody and everything in our nation.
There are other issues becides the Democrat attempted power grab. There is no way to vet these illegal trespassers. We do not know how many are criminals or have communicatiable diseases. Biden is putting U.S. citizens in peril as he attempts his political power grab. In addition his actions will cause millions of people to come here illegally. Our country has a huge debt from Socialist freebies which the Democrat/Marxists who control the Democratic Party promote. It is likely the only way this debt can be dealt with evertually is to print more money eroding the value of and confidence of the dollar or repudiating Government debt to U.S. debtors including government bondholders.
Biden’s illegal immigrants come here in poverty. They will need billions in aid from unwilling U.S. taxpayers for food, clothing, housing, medical care, education,welfare payments and legal expences to prevent deportation and to make their case that they deserve asylum. Unfortunately their are millions of people in the U.S. who think we can afford to support every one who wants come to the United States.
President Biden and his Maxists supporters could destroy the United States in four years. Consider how quickly Hitler siezed power in Germany after he succeeded in being elected to office in Germany. Biden needs to be impeached now before he and the Marxists can do more damage.

American Oil Independence-And Then Joe Biden Happened
For years the United States was dependent on other nations for oil and gas. Most of these nations manipulated production to keep oil prices artificially high, affecting higher prices for nearly everything in our country. We might add most of those countries had contempt for the people of the United States. The high oil prices had a detrimental effect on our trade balance as well.
Finally we got a President named Trump who started getting rid of restrictions imposed by Democratic Administrations that prevented the United States from becoming gas and oil independent. These actions began to pay dividends and the United States insteading of importing oil and gas began to be an exporter. Marxists of if you prefer the modern term Progressives were alarmed. The goal of Marxists is to destroy the freedom’s we enjoy and take complete control over other people’s lives. With a country that is econonically strong that makes their job harder. With a Joe Biden, whose strings they pull, they set him into immediate action. One of good old Joe’s first order of business was to cancel the pipeline bringing oil to refinineries that would have keep the U.S. oil independent.
Next you can expect Joe to attempt to dismantle the oil and gas industry to jump on the Marxist’s bad new green deal scheme which will cost us taxpayers billions. The bad new green deal is an attempt by Marxists to control energy in the United States. In Marxist or Socialist Countries the government owns most of the means of production which is probably next on the agenda for the evil ones. Every thing Marxists do is not to benefit the people but to give them complete control of everybody and everything in our society. Then they can steal whatever they need to have a lavish life style while the people live in poverty.
Bernie Sanders, who seems to be the face of Socialism/Marxism is a text book example of what Marxists will be like if they gain complete political power. Bernie’s heart bleeds for the poor and the down trodden. So if he is concerned about the poor he is sharing his wealth with them isn’t he? Good luck on that. Bernie has a vacation home and recently got a huge advance on a book in an amount the poor do not earn in a lifetime. No on has asked Bernie why he does not sell his vacation home and give the money to the poor along with the book advance money. Maybe Bernie works so hard on behalf of the poor he feels he deserves a lavish llife style as a reward.
Having a President who is easily manipulated by left leaning radicals ia a frigtening peril.

Amtrak, Governor Northam’s Money Pit
Governor Northam of Virginia who has a history of doing stupid things without thinking them through, and costing taxpayers a lot of money is at it again. One previous misstep was his decision to remove a priceless piece of art, Robert E. Lee mounted on horseback in Richmond, Virginia which the Radical Marxist who are trying to destroy our cities, wanted removed and that was enough for “Taliban” Northam. This statue belongs to the People of Virginia and without determining what the majority of the people wanted he decided to have it removed to appease his marxist supporters. Now a lawsuit has been filed by a group of citizens to block removal which is costing taxpayers a lot of money. This is occurring because Governor Northam refuses to backdown from appeasing his suppporters. The governor will not likely ever give an accounting of the cost of defending the lawsuit to the people of Virginia.
All of this could have been avoided if if the Governor had made an effort to find out if a majority of Virginians supported removal and it could have done in an orderly manner if the majority so desired. Governor Northam did not even have a plan on what to do with the statue after removal. How incompetent was that?
Now we are reading reports that Governor Northam wants to spend millions of dollars of taxpayer’s money expanding Amtrak to areas of Southwest Virginia. Passenger rail service is a relic of the past. It made sence in the United States when it took days to go long distances before the miracle of air travel. Rail service makes sence in our large metropolitan areas to move commuters from one location to another.
Amtrak is an unecessary money pit. It has never made a profit in it’s existence and has to be subsized by the taxpayers to the tune of millions a year. It should be shut down, We know there are lots of people who advocate for Amtrak such as emplyees, suppliers for Amtrak, contractors who stand to make money for construction projects. the left leaning Richmond Times Dispatch and politicians who get a lot of policical contributions from these groups but that does not justify the existence of Amtrak. We could create employment by paying people to dig holes and cover them up again but who would advocate for that.
If Governor Northam is unchecked your tax dollars will be going down the Amtrak money Pit and then he would need a tax increase for his other projects. The Governor has a website where your can send him your comments. If you love money pits you can cheer him on but if not you can express your disapproval of throwing money into the Amtrak Money Pit.

Why Democrats hate Trump
Democrats realize this country will not accept a quick change to Socialism/Marxism so their plan is to bring it about slowly. When Donald Trump, the hated Capalist, announced his plans to run for president the Democrats did not take him seriously and were amused. As he began winning primaries they became alarmed and began unrelenting attacks trying to smear him. Soon most of the national news media, who surveys have indicated are mostly Democrats, joined in the fun.
If Donald Trump won the election that would derail their Socialist/Marxist Agenda for four years and possibly eight. Democrats Politicians and most of national news media focused on Donald Trump’s infidelity, which many of his critics along with some former Democratic Presidents have had experience with, and Trump’s Business Dealings.
Most of the news media has become a propaganda organization for the Democratic Party and an apologist for Marxism. They have been relentless in their attacks on Trump. The Associated Press, which was once a respected news agency, in their “news articles” when quoting Trump always added”without proof”. In every article his actions were either illegal illigal or morally wrong. He was even accused of being raciest, which the press likes to accuse people of when they are not advancintg the cause of Socialism/Marxism.
The Democrats, with the backing of most of the press even tried to impeach Trump for Russian Collusion , Even with some FBI Agents breaking rules and probably laws to frame Trump the impeachment failed. Even the FBI admitted their was no evidence sufficient for laws being broken. Not to be deterred the Democrats still tried. Now they are trying again. Trump encouraged his supporters to demonstrate in Washington, D.C. The Democrats have their own dictonary. The Democratic Standard Dictionary defines encouraging Republicans to demonstrate as planning an insurrection.
Where were these Democrats when their allies in Black Lives Matter were trying to destroy our cities? We will tell you. Some of them joined Black Lives Matter, even using bullhorns to encourage them. Most of them referred to the insurrectionists as peaceful protesters or social justice reformers. We hope you noticed that when Democratic followers did violence the Democrats called them peaceful protesters and when Republicians did the same thing they were involved in insurrection.
Now the Democrats are involved in another fake impeachment claiming Trump started an insurrection. Why are they doing this when Trump is leaving office? They are hoping to have enough corrupt politicians to vote for impeachment and banning Trump from running for office again.They fear Trump will again run for President, win and derail their plans for a Socialist/Marxist America.
The Democrats are playing catch up and their radical alllies who control media are doing their part in banning conservative voices under the guise of not meeting their standards for truth. We will intrepret that for you. Their standard of truth is people who oppose a Socialist/Marxist Agneda.

Was there Election Fraud in the U.S. Presidential Election?
Was there fraud in the recent Presidential Election? Most Journalists either claim that there was non or too little to change the outcome. Surveys have shown that most Journalists at the most influential news organizations are Democrats so we would not expect to get an unbiased opinion. When the Journalists say there is no proof of fraud they are telling the truth because there have been hearings with people testifying fraud occurred but no real investigation has happened and until an investigation occurrs and charges made and a court of law finds people guilty no proof exists. But the news outlets are being dishonest in implying since no proof exists there was no fraud.
A lot of people have made sworn statements and have testified of corruption in non court hearings. Some corrupt politicians have have accused these people of lying but the news media have chosen not to take this course, Instead they are accusing Donald Trump and his supporters of corruption for asking that the alleged fraud be investigated.
The ironic thing about demands for an investigation is the party that is accussed of fraud has political control over whether an investigation happens. What kind of traction are you going to get on that?
In our country each year thousands of dollars are embezzled from PTAs ,athletic programs for children or teens or service organizations.
Part of this is from lax audit ovesight. Some of the embellezers are not convicted or convicted for stealing a lot less than they actually stole. They manage this by not leaving an audit trail. Transaction are not recorded which leads to no proof of wrong doing in a court of law. How does this apply to election fraud? Mail in ballots are difficult to audit. Voting officials are strict to get an ID from an in person voter but on mail in’s there is no proof of who did the voting. It is highly unlikely that the signaturses on millions of ballots are validated. So you see how the audit trail is missimg. States sent out ballots without knowing if the person is living at the address. Anyone in the neighborhood could have intercepted the ballot and completed it. A lot of people move each year. Some people die. A lot of votes are alleged to have been back dated when they came in after the dead lines. Ballots were counted after observers went home for the night. Ballots were not properly handled by election officials under state laws. One precinct even had more votes come in than there were voters. Do you see any audit trail problems here?
The number of votes cast for Joe Biden supposely made him the most popular Democrat ever. Do you really think that it is possibile for a guy who spent most of his campaigning in his basement?

Rumors of War-A Racist Symbol?
The Management of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and their donors paid a lot of money for a statue entitled Rumors of War. To what end? There was once a Statue of Confederate Military Leader Jeb Stuart in Richmond, Virginia. Mayor Stoney and his Radical Friends removed all the statues of white people, except Robert E. Lee, including Christopher Columbus , apparently for being white. Governor Northan and his partners in crime are trying to figure out how to get rid of the other white guy, Robert E Lee which is owned by the State of Virginia. There are some other white statues in Richmond. There are some white children playing on a downed log at Maymont Park. We realize they are children, but they are white. Flouting their white priviledge playing on a tree in the surburbs. Children in the inner city don’t get to do that.
Getting back to the Jeb Stuart Statue, The Black Guy on horseback seems to be mocking Jeb Stuart and since Jeb Stuart was removed it is no longer a reference point. Rumors of War seems to have been designed to offend white southernors who have an affection for their Ancestors and those who led them during the days of the Confederacy. Stuart was immaculately dressed in his officers uniform. The Black Guy is wearing tennis shoes and ragged jeans which seems to be mocking White People’s attempt to look their best in public.
Then there is the title Rumors of War. Who is the Black Guy going to war against? The most likely culprit seems to be White People. In spite of what you have always heard that only white people are racist this statue is racist in every way and needs to be removed. We are puzzled as to why the Black Guy is mounted on a horse. Owning and boarding a horse is expensive and it requires some wealth to do that. Is the statue also mocking White people who earn enough money to own a horse?
We once met a Northernor who came to Richmond to work who had contempt for White Southernors. He proudly proclaimed that none of his neighbors in his white neighborhood in the suburbs were from here. Is that the type of people we have managing the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Is that why we have a Racist Statue on the Museum Grounds. And what about the people who paid a lot of money to finance the statue? Are they showing their contempt for White Southernors?
White people are under attack by Radicals. Recently we read an article by a Black Syndicated Coluumist who said her husband was playing with their child in a pool and a White Man complimented him on spending time with his child. Both husband and wife immediately concluded the White Guy was implying that Black People do not usually do that. We guess if you consider all White People Racist it would be easy to reach that conclusion.

Is Christmas a Celebration of Materialism?
On December 25th each year we, as a predominent Christian Nation celebrate Christmas. Although December 25 is the date we celebrate the birth of Juesu Christ Historians do not know the actual date he was born.
According to information gleaned from the internet is is estimatd that 31 per cent of the world’s population is Christian. Whether a person considers Jesus Divine or just a great teacher it is difficult to not acknowledge the great impact he made on civilization. Christians believe God created the world and all things in it. They also believe we are born and eventually die but we continue as distinct personalities after death.
It is God’s design that we are happy in this life and in the life to come, He called prophets among us to teach us what rules we need to follow and also to make us worthy to live with him in the next life.
We have a record of these teachings in the Bible. In the Old Testament we have the Ten Commandments and guides for taking care of the poor and our treatment of other people. Surely if those in prison had followed these rules they woul not have expeienced the misery of being locked in a small cell for years.
We have been taught as Christians to live a perfect life, living all God’s Commandments. However God knew that we would fall short of reaching perfection. He sent Jesus to pay for the sins of those who were imperfect but striving to live his commandments. Because of Jesus those of us who are trying to live a God Like life can return to his presence.
The Old Testament prophets all prophised of the coming of a Savior. In what we know as the meridian of time Jesus was born in a lowly stable in Bethlehem. We do not know much about his life before he began preaching but it is believed he began his ministry at about thirty years of age. Jesus reiterated the importance of living the Ten Commandments, taught forgiving others and doing good, When asked”what manner of men should we be” Jesus answered even as I am”. Jesus spent his life serving others. He healed the sick, raised the dead, forgave the repentant, taught rules for bringing happiness in our lives , and most of all he sacrificed his life so we could receive forgivness for our sins.
We should honor someone who did so much for mankind. But how much honor are we giving to jesus at Christmas Time? In the United Sstates where we have blended so many practices from cultures all over the world we have the most elaborate Christmas Celebration in the world.
We fear Christmas is more a celebration of material things than it is the contributions of Jesus. We have taught out children that redceiving gifts is the essence of Christmas rather than celebrating the gifts of Jesus.
While a few are drawn to serving others as Jesus did we think most people are totally drawn to the materialistic side of Christmas. Far too many of us go into debt ot buy expensive gifts to impress others. Many childdren want to compare the gifts they received to see who received the most. In a society where so much emphasis is given to material things on Christmas Jesus seems like a distraction.
At this Christmas Time why not think of service you can give to others? why not visit a lonley widow? Why not call someone you know who has been having challenges in life? Why not express appreciation to someone who is doing things to bless the lives of others?

Jesus is being removed from Christmas
December is the month we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Historians do not know the date of Jesus’s birth but according to the Bible shepherds were with their flocks when he was born, December is in the middle of winter in the Holy Land and there would have been no forage for the sheep to eat so they would not have been out in the desert with their shepherds. Anyone who grew up on a farm knows that hay has to be fed to livestock in the winter time because of lack of forage in the pasture. This would eliminate winter as Jesus’s birth date. Never the less until Historians locate Jesus’s birth date December will continue to be the month we celebrate his birth.
But how long will we use the name Christmas? Many years ago merchandizers began selling Christmas Cards with the name Christ removed and replaced with Merry Xmas. The attacks on using Christ’s name have intensified over the years. Groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, which we consider an anti Christian organization, have filed many suits in court to force government agencies to remove any nativity scenes and even references to Jesus under claims it is a violation of the Consitution. Liberal Court Judges have been willing to bow to their demands and even government officials have been willing to bow to their demands. Some groups want to go further and take Christ out of Christmas and refer to it as a December Hojliday.
We expect suits will eventually be brought against businesses that decorate during Christmas time alleging they are fostering a hostile environment for non Christians which is an illegal practice. In a tumultous world when there is a greater need for Jesus’s teachings to be practiced people are turning away from God in greater numbers. Research over the years hs been showing fewer people believe in God as than in years pass. How long will it be before believers are in the minority? Will laws be passed prohibiting mentioning Jesus any place except churches? Too far fetched? We think not. Who would have thought in the past that government officials would be banning the number of people we could entertain in our own homes claiming Covid 19 concerns.
It is instructive to know that in Communist countries Christians are controlled, discriminated againsts, and even banned from sharing their beliefs. There is a reason for that. Jesus never forced anyone to do anything and taught people they were free to choose but if they made the wrong choices they could not dwell with him and God in the next life. Whether a person calls himself a Communist, or the softer, Progressive or Marxist they can only stay in power by force and the idea of free agency is a threat to the power they crave. They may deceive the naive into voting for them but once in power they con only stay there by taking away peoples’s right to choose.
In the United States powerful Marxist Organizations are now organizing riots to force policy changes with the encouragement of radical politicians who hope these groups will allow them to reman in in power if they succeed. The Marxist Oarganizations are a small minority but are skillful in getting support of useful idiots who are deceived into believing they are doing a great service. Everything the Marxists are doing is self serving. They want to take control over other peoples’s live.

Gratitude Primer
Having a National Holiday of thanksgiving this past week was a time to give thanks to God for all our blessings. Both the Early Colonists in Massachusetts and Virginia had a feast to celebrate the blessings God had given them in a new land and this is the inspiration for our National Holiday.
With more and more people turning away from God, and they have no one to give thanks to, will Thanksgiving disappear? Will the courts of a Pagan Nation rule that Thanksgiving is unconstitutional because it is a celebration of a religious practice? Will the majority of Americans become non believers and demand that Religious Holidays be banned. The trends are pointing toward an eventual majority of the people becomming non believers.
Showing thanks or gratitide was important to Jesus. Luke Chapter 17 tells of an incident when ten lepers stood away from Jesus and begged him for mercy. Jesus told them to show themselves to the Priest and on the way they were cleansed. One turned back after discovering he was healed and glorified God and at the feet of Jesus gave thanks. Jesus said, ” were not ten cleansed, but where are the other nine”‘? Paul the apostle in his letter to the Ephesians, Eph. 5:20 taught them to be “giving thanks for all things unto God in the name of Christ” .
God will bless a thankful people and withhold blessings from the ungreatful. Condider the Children of Israel when God decided to finally free them from bondage to the Egyptians and restore them to the promised land. Instead of showing gratitude to the lord they rebelled against Moses and the Lord. Because of this the Lord confined them to the dessert for years.Finanally when the Lord allowed the Israelites to enter the Promised Land there were only two men he felt were worthy to enter, Joshua and Caleb. All the rest of the Isaraelites originally freed had died in the desert and weren’t able to go with their thankful and obedient decendants to the promised land.
How do we show gratitude? Do you know people who are always complaining? Have you helped someone who them complained about what you didn’t do for them? In constrast do you know people who are always appreciative when you help them and express that to you. Do you know people who have a positive attitude and if things go bad they expect a better day tomorrow? Which ones would rather spend time with?
Some people keep a “Gratitude Journal” and write down things they are grateful for on a regular basis. What a splendid idea to focus on the things that go well rather than things that go wrong. We knew a woman who was a teacher of indifferent teen age boys . If ever there was an opportunity to focus on the negative this was it. This woman’s husband asked her this question at the dinner table every night. What is the best thing that happened to you today? That forced her to look for “rainbows” every day because she knew the question was coming. Her focus was on the positive rather tlhan the negative. And guess what? She loved her job. And guess what else? She rarely had a time when she did not have a great experience.
How often do you express appreciation for someone close to you such as a family member? Do you know anyone who doesn’t need to know they are appreciated? When is the last time you told your spouse or child you love them? If it isn’t daily you are failing miserably.
Are there people in your past that have made a big impact on your life? Did you thank them? If not, why not now? Is there something that your parents taught you or did for you that meant a lot to you that you haven’
t thanked them for? Have you thanked God for talents you have or other blessings he has given you? When you express gratitude to God and obey his commandments he will give you greater blessings.
