Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2025-337: Headlines: Nothing to See Here

When Dan Bongino looked into the camera and said the tapes had been reviewed and their was no evidence of foul play in the death of Epstein I was willing to listen.  Since I know that enthusiasm and being sure that Hillary did it are very powerful emotions and that Fake News knows no political party, I listened and said, “Okay.”  I had never seen any hard evidence.  I could swallow that...when I first heard it.

Now we have Pam Bondi looking into the camera and with great sincerity saying there was no list in the folder that was on her desk.  She seemed so sincere.  The problem is that we have seen the list with its redactions before.  Why wasn’t it in the folder.  Maybe she was telling the truth because she had an aid take it out and put it in a drawer.  Of course that brings up the question of why it takes three months to discover that there is nothing in the folder. That could have been revealed after a 15 minute examination.

This also brings up the difficulty of understanding why Epstein would kill himself if there was no evidence of wrong doing.  Why does it take three months for an agency of thousands of employees to review a few hours of tape?  Keep in mind that they only had to start at the last time he was seen alive and go to the body being removed from the cell.  All they needed was a couple of hours.  And why did what’s her name go to jail if there was no trafficking?  It isn’t adding up.  I am hoping that Trump will wake up and smell the swamp.  I am hoping that the forces of darkness have not found a way to neuter Donald Trump. We were promised a lot of transparency and so far the cataracts are growing.  We were promised arrests and justice and so far the only ones that stand out to me are the people who vandalized Teslas.  

I was willing to move past Trump pushing the vacine.  I bit my lip at the pork in the Big Beautiful Bill.  This is an issue that cuts to the core of the ruling classes and shakes out hopes that Trump represents.

Opus 2021-019: Headlines: That Scary Little Phrase

We are living in a developing nightmare.  Everyone who can tell the difference between a light bulb that is burned out and one that is just turned off has heard about how Amazon has been involved in attacking the competition for Twitter, Parler.  It is an amazing attack that would make the fascist regimes of the 1930's say, “That’s my boy.”  They removed their app so no one can access a new account.  Then they cut them off of the internet and removed them from the Amazon marketplace.  That is all scary enough but did you read the entire list of people dropping them.

The part that should send ice water into your veins is the part where it says that the list of people dropping them included their lawyers.  They did this to President Trump also.  I don’t know if it is just social pressure, subtle innuendo or blatant threats of physical violence but our new Progressive* overlords are making it impossible to even wind our way through the legal maze.  They are making it impossible to get a lawyer.

As so many other oppressive moves of the Progressives* this goes against the spirit as well as the letter of the Constitution.  Notice this from the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution,

“have the assistance of counsel for his defence (sic).”
I don’t think it ever entered the minds of the Founders that a political party would take the step of threatening the lawyers so that the enemies of the Tyrant could make no defense.  Your Miranda rights don’t matter anymore because no lawyer will take your case.

The swamp is spreading instead of draining.
