Um.... God told us pretty much what was going to happen so that his followers could prepare.   He just didn't tell us the "exact" timing.  Be grateful that at least we know this is all going according to His plan and His word.
If this is God's plan, I'd hate to see Satan's.

As of the time of this post,sadness,with a touch of extreme anger at the people trying to destroy our nation and turn it into a leftist police state.

   I'm very pizzed and seeing how I can't do a damn thing to change the direction my Beloved Country is going in, It just depresses me even further. 
   So, as to not further alienate myself from what little respect I've earned here, I refrain from lashing out all my frustrations on the person I feel most responsible, I never liked him anyway.

Well, I'm pretty damned pizzed at the same man ....yes it is depressing and it could have easily been avoided.  Let' see; Russiagate, impeachment, COVID, Autozones .... we're losing our Republic while the horse and pony show continues on.

Quite frankly, I'm not sure I'm up to seeing the next act.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

   I almost ordered a Lone Ranger mask to wear at the grocery store, yesterday but I live in the town that arrested a guy, at the grocery store, a few years ago for having F*ck It on a T Shirt.

Depressed doesn't begin to describe how I feel.  Today I just read about Trump and the Republicans being all gung-ho about yet another "stimulus."  This one will be focused on "infrastructure."  Didn't Obama throw a ton of taxpayer money at "infrastructure" not that many years ago?  But many of those who squawked about Obama's "infrastructure" spending spree are positively giddy over this latest giveaway just because it's their guy and his party who are doing it.  Don't know how many trillions this "infrastructure" scheme will cost us taxpayers, but I'm told it's necessary.  They're all necessary.  Hey, this spending buys votes and who cares that down the road the kids and grandkids will be paying for it?  Actually, I can see where we are paying for it now and it's just going to get worse. 

I was happy because a friend I haven't seen for months called and we made plans to finally get together for lunch on Thursday.  Was really looking forward to a meal with my bud because, among other things, it means for me another step toward normalcy after being isolated for so long.  But I read stuff like this latest giveaway and it makes me want to crawl under a rock and hide.  Just not good.

Now that is being succinct.  Alas, I worked for lawyers for so long, I can't say anything in 25 words or less.

Another day of no positive news. The President and Congress will be throwing more $$ out the window...meanwhile chaos continues in the street; monuments are being toppled.  There are now threats of destruction to churches and in our President's infinite wisdom...he again makes another idle threat; "stiff prison time after night of chaos".    Yet Seattle officials in their infinite wisdom announce that some protesters cases will be dismissed.

Hello??  Congress?  Mr. President? Anyone??  STOP THIS INSANITY!!!!!

Misery Index on a scale of 1-10; 8.  I'm reserving 9 for when they start destroying churches and I'm reserving 10 for when we hit complete anarchy.

If this is God's plan, I'd hate to see Satan's.

Spoken like a true nonbeliever.   Satan's plan is that you end up right next to him in that Lake of Fire for all eternity.   Looks like his plan may be going accordingly.   

Free will = there has been evil stuff going on in every generation.  This is all leading to the end of the world, as that evil rises.....as written in the Bible.   We can't control what others do but we can control how we respond to events in our time.  That's the point.  The difference is faith in God vs. no faith or faith in a false god.  Your choice.

   Oftentimes lately, the daily events we discuss here just seems so surreal to me, like a fairy tale from Mother Grimms (without the lessons of Aesop) regardless of whether I'm sober, drunk and/or stoned.  I seem to be lost perpetually in a world that makes no sense what so ever and I'm running out of things to do to keep me preoccupied.

   Anyway I removed the time expiration on the Misery Poll.

Dear corbe.... that is exactly why faith is so important in this life.   It's the only thing that, in times like these, keeps us believers sane and calm.

As for me, I am happy. Nice weather. Beautiful weather this week... The fridge is full, the pantry is dang near full, and I am working on the freezer - This weekend just might be my first time out to Chain of Lakes in years and years to start throwin some trout back in that freezer. That'll be car campin, but man will it be good to be in the woods for a change!

Fixin to put 50 chickens in the freezer too, to wait on canning as I can. that's maybe another 30 days off.

Just traded some pooter services to a hillbilly, and he gave me a backpack full of chaga - So I have chaga tea again... fixin to sit on the porch with a knife peeling chaga burls... How can that be bad?

My brother and his will be here in a week, for our customary 4th of July shindig.... Looks like it won't be as well attended, as many from out of town will not be coming... But my brother and his are. And I cannot wait... A wonderful cook out, with all the trimmins... Tater salad, crab salad, chili, burgers, hot dogs, sweet tea and lemonade... Aw man, but I can't wait!

All y'all need to shut the damn news off and walk outside... get back to your lives and make something beautiful happen. Life is good, good, good. And I ain't gonna let these a$$holes fill me full of fear.

iIf the time comes that I gotta go knock a few heads, I'll worry about it when the time comes. Ain't a damn thing I can do about it now.

@Applewood

Well,I am a Republican,mostly because that seems to be the only sensible option,and I am sure as hell fired up about this.

Not in the way you are implying,though.

It's like using a credit card to cover a bounced check. Nothing good is going to come from it.

If Trump wants to do this,the thing to do is pull the money that has already been appropriated from another program not deemed to be as vital.

Unless of course you want me to die from laughing by claiming there are no unnecessary programs or spending in the feral budget.

I think things will start lookng up when we start reading about more rioting BLM/Antifa casualites. 

Yes, it's gotten to the point that that people are that fed up.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
