I’m so confused right now. I see signs all over saying black lives matter. I’m just trying to figure out which black lives matter. It can’t be the unborn black babies. It’s not black cops. They don’t seem to matter. It’s not my black conservative friends. They are told to shut up if they know what’s best for them by their black counterparts. It’s not black business owners. Their property does not mean anything. It’s not blacks who fought in the military. Their statues are destroyed by the black lives matter protesters with disdain. So which black lives matter again?
Black Lives Matter. Of course they do! Then when multiple black police officers and individuals were killed during the “peaceful protests”. I don’t see any outrage? Black individually owned businesses burned to the ground. Silence. Deadliest weekend in Chicago. NOTHING!!
I can’t keep up. I just can’t. I’m exhausted trying to figure out what we’re all supposed to do, believe, and be offended and outraged by next.
Two months ago, First Responders were all the rage. In fact, they were heroes. We gave them free coffee, meals, and cheers as they drove by. Today, we hate them and want them defunded because they can’t be trusted.
Two months ago, truck drivers were the heroes, as well, for keeping America moving and the grocery stores stocked. Today we block the roads with protesters, drag them out of the cabs and beat them half to death.
Nurses and Doctors are still cool, for now. But they may be unemployed. They too are heroes, unless of course they truly believe all lives matter. Then they’re filled with hate and are part of problem like so many others.
Just 45 days ago protests weren’t “essential” and were considered criminal, selfish and a murderous activity. Today they are gloriously critical and celebrated. All of the obvious criminal and murderous activities are simply ignored. If you protest about lock downs for freedom, you are selfish and you will spread a virus. If you protest, loot, and riot for social justice, you are a warrior and the virus fades to the background.
Trust the experts. No, not those experts. Don’t wear masks … wear masks, but only good ones. Wait, don’t wear masks, wear anything as a mask. Never mind on the masks. Not sure, but if you don’t, you hate people because you could be an asymptomatic spreader. Wait. That’s not a thing anymore?
For 3 months, NOTHING was more important than social distance. In fact, we gave up all of our liberties for it. We canceled schools, medical and dental procedures, canceled activities, closed businesses, eliminated every spring rite of passage from prom to graduation, denied people funerals, even at Arlington, and we wrecked the economy for it. Then came social justice, and social distance was no more. Now things are more cut and dried though. A thousand people at three memorials for someone they never even met. It’s a matter of “respect”. But you can only assemble 100 or less people.
I’m really confused now. Look at the data, NO, not that data. Do the math. No, you can’t do the math like that. Only the experts can understand the data and math. What do you mean other cities/states/governors are interpreting the data differently? Pools are safe in Indiana, but not Michigan? Playgrounds are safe in your town but not mine? Amusement parks are safe in Florida but not Ohio, nor Michigan.
If you are silent you are part of the problem. If you speak, you are part of the problem. If you have to ask, you don’t understand. If you don’t ask, you don’t care.
It’s all so predictable, tedious, and exhausting. Nothing adds up. It’s one gigantic Math life problem, with ever changing denominators that I’m sure the media and politicians are eagerly ready to solve for us…until the next “crisis”.
So, for now I pray. I pray God will heal our land and bless the United States of America! Bless us with Wisdom, Kindness, Gentleness, Mercy, Love, Peace, Healing. Things that Really Matter! We all Matter in God’s Eyes!

Quid Pro Jane … Remember Quid pro Joe got some sweet deals and big money for his son (remember Burisma?) Nancy and her Dem compatriots are expecting kickbacks from many of these beneficiaries they have attempted to add into this bill.
But then those places didn’t own the U.S. Democratic politicians the way the Chinese government owns the U.S. Democratic Party today. #XiFlu
In every video clip I have seen of these criminals destroying our nation’s historical monuments one thing I have noticed is they all scream about “stopping the hate”. Ok buffoons tell us EXACTLY what it is you are doing by destroying public property over monuments that have been around since long before the turn of the century, & all of a sudden, you are all now OFFENDED?
Just what kind of logical sense does this make to any one of you? Not that a single one of you have the capability to think logically. And since you are all on this stop the hate kick, what about the gross hatred all of you are showing to our President?
The disrespect you inflict on this man daily is so beyond what any of us could ever withstand. What you criminals deserve is a prison sentence.
Oh, I recognize these useful idiots are doing exactly what their teachers taught them and their religious overlords – Islam. Islam is the religion that demonstrated that you had to destroy the past so you could recreate it in your world view, and thus create the future that you want. Dictatorships, Totalitarians, Cults (religious or political), and any other ideology that wants to control it’s citizens do the same thing. Standard playbook actually.
“The Left wants to destroy and remove any Confederate imagery as part of our heritage to celebrate the abolition of Slavery. Now there are calls for tearing down statues of Teddy Roosevelt. And what then? Erase our history like George Washington and Jefferson and anything that uniquely defines our identity as Americans as free? The race baiting poverty pimp, Al Sharpton, has recently advocated the erasing from history of Jefferson on PBS. The Lincoln memorial now vandalized. The Left is never satisfied and are always reaching for their next bigger step. Tearing down Churches and rounding up Christians and Jews just like the Nationalised Socialists did. When are people going to admit fascism came to America. Liberal Fascism. And Ronald Reagan openly predicted it.”
Just know that if President Trump had spoken without knowing all the facts, they would have CRUCIFIED him also!!! Know THIS also!!!!! EVIL does NOT like to be found out and exposed!!!! As long as President Trump is committed to draining the deep entrenched swamp in DC and around the country, the originator of sin and evil will FIGHT him and those that support him. DIG IN YOUR HEELS AND SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!! MAGA via a Great Awakening! pastorwardclinton.com
Nathaniel Grigsby was ahead of his time. Born in 1811, Grigsby was a precinct committee man for Abraham Lincoln, according to Authentic Campaigner. He was also said to have been a friend of the president during his youth In Illinois.
He was living in Missouri at the time of Lincoln’s election, and one early morning was warned by his neighbor that he should not “light any lights.” That meant the forces of the Democratic Party were out to murder him.
Grigsby moved to Indiana. He volunteered for the Civil War, along with four of his five sons. He was named 2nd lieutenant in the 10th Indiana Cavalry.
Time took its course, as it does tend to do. In 1890, Mr. Grigsby passed away in Kansas. However, he left a brilliant warning to future generations, via an inscription on his tombstone.
“Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic Party,” the dedication reads.
“I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation has come to it through this so-called party therefore beware of this party of treason.”
Democrats have been responsible for everything bad in this country, although now they love to revise history and pretend that they weren’t. The only question is, when will Americans wake up and stop voting for them?
In June of 1857, the year before he would challenge Illinois Democrat and incumbent Senator Stephen A. Douglas for a seat in the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln addressed the subject of Dred Scott and whether decisions of the Supreme Court should be challenged. Lincoln, was, famously, a lawyer and a good one. He revered the law. And up until the Dred Scott decision, issued by the Court months earlier in March of 1857, Lincoln was unhesitating in his support of judicial decisions. But deliberately, willfully inserting slavery into the Constitution — not based on the law but on the pro-slavery sentiments of the Court’s members, notably including Chief Justice Roger Taney — was a bridge too far for Lincoln. In writing his opinion on the case Taney had quite specifically made his bias plain, saying that African-Americans “had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.”
Lincoln biographer David Herbert Donald writes of Lincoln’s reaction this way:
“So blatant was the Chief Justice’s misreading of the law, so gross was his distortion of the documents fundamental to American liberty [meaning the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution], that Lincoln’s faith in an impartial, rational judiciary was shaken; never again did he give deference to the rulings of the Supreme Court.”
Not only was Lincoln done with his faith in giving “deference” to the idea of “an impartial, rational judiciary,” he used his speech to tear into Douglas (whom he refers to always as “Judge Douglas” in reference to Douglas’s earlier title as a Justice on the Illinois Supreme Court) for Douglas’s hypocrisy on the issue. In the wake of Dred Scott Douglas was an enthusiastic supporter of the Court’s decision. Lincoln accused Douglas and Chief Justice Taney of, in Herbert’s words, “working, together with other Democrats, to extend and perpetuate slavery.” With the Dred Scott case decided and slavery now, supposedly, enshrined in the Constitution forever, Douglas wanted no one to tamper with it — much less try and undo it.
