Thought For The Day by John Jaeger, MBA

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Benjamin Franklin

[Bigun]

“Nothing is more certain than that a general profligacy and corruption of manners make a people ripe for destruction. A good form of government may hold the rotten materials together for some time, but beyond a certain pitch, even the best constitution will be ineffectual, and slavery must ensue.”

John Witherspoon, The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men, 1776

"Evolution is baseless and quite incredible."—*John Ambrose Fleming, President, British Association for Advancement of Science, in "The Unleashing of Evolutionary Thought."

"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man rules, the people groan." - Proverbs 29:2

Today, America groans as never before in many decades.

"What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; it is not so much the opinion itself, but the audacity of wanting to think for themselves, something that they do not know how to do." — Arthur Schopenhauer

Thinking for themselves is something Leftists cannot do.  They follow the loud, screeching herd, applauding evil and insanity.

"It is more blessed to give than to receive." - The Holy Bible

I can tell you from personal experience that giving has richly blessed me more than the family members to whom I gave.

All of us are smarter than any of us, so please write your best Giving Story right here for all to see and ponder, maybe duplicate, for their benefit and others' as well.

"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor." --George Washington

[ChemEngrMBA]

"It is not the duty of science to defend the theory of evolution, and stick by it to the bitter end—no matter which illogical and unsupported conclusions it offers. On the contrary, it is expected that scientists recognize the patently obvious impossibility of Darwin's pronouncements and predictions . . Let's cut the umbilical cord that tied us down to Darwin for such a long time. It is choking us and holding us back."—I.L. Cohen, Darwin Was Wrong: A Study in Probabilities (1985)

The widespread support of Hamas terrorists by people living in America is evil, despicable and cowardly. - John Phillip Jaeger

The widespread support of Hamas terrorists by people living in America is evil, despicable and cowardly. - John Phillip Jaeger

Those that support Hamas inside America, aren't necessarily Americans but ILLEGALS who have invaded this country with no loyalty towards America or have been granted legal status that refuse to assimilate.

Those that support Hamas want to see the downfall of our Republic, "Death to America" is want they are working towards.

The uprising on campuses throughout our country I believe is just a test to see what they can get away with and how easily they can take this country over.

"If the television craze continues with the present level of programs, we are destined to have a nation of morons." — Daniel Marsh in 1950

We're there.  The media have moronized scores of millions with gaslighting and panic.

​"You only go around once in life, but if you do it right, once is enough." - Denis Isamu Inaba, M.D.  (My deep sea fishing, scuba diving, snow skiing, water skiing buddy, God rest his soul)

"There are various conventional explanations for this week's election results; but unmentioned has been the Democrats' failure to condemn loudly and publicly the ravings of the lunatic Left." – Victor Davis Hanson, historian and scholar

Gentlemen, treat the woman you are dating with the greatest of respect and honor.   She may become your wife, and you do not want to regret how you treated her for the rest of your life.  - John Phillip Jaeger

“I have been made victorious through terror.” – (Bukhari 4.52.220 - Mohammad)

Athanasius Kircher, (1602-1680) a devout Christian astronomer and polymath, constructed a complex working model of the solar system showing the Sun and the planets circling around it. One day he invited his atheist friend into his study to see this model. His friend was intrigued by the model’s incredible complexity.  He exclaimed : “How beautiful it is! Who made it?“
Kircher responded: “No one made it. It made itself! “
The atheist stared at him in disbelief:  “That‘s absurd! You don’t expect me to believe that! Do you?“
Kircher answered: “No. I don‘t. But what’s even more absurd is that‘s what you believe about the real solar system, which is vastly more complex than this simple model.“

VOLTAIRE — famous anti-Christian atheist: "I have swallowed nothing but smoke. I have intoxicated myself with the incense that turned my head. I am abandoned by God and man.” He said to his physician, Dr. Fochin: “I will give you half of what I am worth if you will give me six months of life." When he was told this was not possible, he said “Then I shall die and go to hell!" His nurse said: “For all the money in Europe I wouldn’t want to see another unbeliever die! All night long he cried for forgiveness.”

There remains, therefore, no supposition possible to explain the recorded phenomenon except the combination of the fructification and rupture of the heart. - Samuel Houghton, M.D., great physiologist from the University of Dublin

We are told on eyewitness authority that “blood and water” came out of the pierced side of Jesus.  The eyewitness clearly attached great importance to this.

This is evidence of massive clotting of the blood in the main arteries, and is exceptionally strong medical proof of death.  It is all the more impressive because the evangelist could not possibly have realized its significance to a pathologist.  the “blood and water” from the spear-thrust is proof positive that Jesus was already dead. - Michael Green , The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, pages 224-225

"The history of government management of money has, except for a few short happy periods, been one of incessant fraud and deception." --economist Fredrich August von Hayek (1899-1992)

Never more true than today.....

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: Luke 10:51

Harvard Yard Entry Inscription

“After God had carried us safely to New England, and we had built our houses, provided necessaries for our livelihood, reared convenient places for God’s worship, and settled the civil government; one of the next things we longed for, and looked after was to advance learning, and perpetuate it to posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches, when our present ministers shall lie in the dust.”

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8)

And let us not be weary in well doing. (Galatians 6:9)

We scientists have found that doing a kindness produces the single most reliable momentary increase in well-being of any exercise we have tested. (Flourish, by Martin Seligman, Psychologist)

"Only a rookie who knows nothing about science would say science takes away from Faith. If you really study science, it will bring you closer to God." - James Tour, Professor of Biochemistry, Rice University - (Brilliant Creations - The Wonder of Nature and Life, by John Phillip Jaeger, page iv)

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.  - Thomas Sowell
