An inventory of what America actually has (spoiler alert: it’s not what we are taught)
One thing we do have is a series of affirmative action hires in the White House: how is that performing?
In order to fix a problem, one must be honest about the situation we face and that requires accurate language. Maybe it’s just me, but it sure seems like there is a lot of programming embedded in the language we use to describe our government’s actions. For instance, consider our “debt limit” or “ceiling.” Our what?
Episode 585: Want truth? Stop pretending these things exist in America
. . . we don’t have a “debt limit.” That is a a feel-good fiction The Party has created. So, if the Freedom Caucus is who they say there are, they will need to to with the budget debate what they did with the vote for Speaker. THEY will need to be the debt limit.
“The FDA” sets food and drug safety standards. Uh, no. It does not. We do not have a body that does that at the federal level. If a thing in government is the opposite of what that thing has named itself, that thing should be defended and dismantled
Do we have free enterprise? Home ownership? Conspiracy theories?
What does God say?
As one might imagine, God--being truth itself--is a big fan of truth in practice:
Proverbs 12:22 : Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
Ephesians 4:25: Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
2 Timothy 2:15 : Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
Ephesians 4:15 : Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
John 8:32: And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Episode 586: An affirmative action circus in the Biden charade
Theory meets practice: a group of people have been placed into positions of great influence strictly because of the way they look. Has theory won-out? Let’s examine the performance of the people helping to run the Joe Biden charade and the Mockingbird Media’s work protecting their theory of quota-based hiring.
You guys, it’s not Mayor Pete’s fault that Mayor Pete lacks any experience at all in dealing with technology vendors. How is Mayor Pete supposed to know that one of the first tasks for someone “in charge” of complex infrastructure that has lives depending on it is to eliminate single points of failure? They don’t teach such things
at same-sex attracted events for intersectional allies.
Speaking of Mayor Pete, there is a Bill--by a squish, shiny shoe Republican, no less--to force Mr. Public Transit Pete to fly commercial. But, I am sure that is an attack on his sexuality.
Who wins by placing these people in positions of influence? I mean, clearly all they seeks is fame. We will talk at length about that dynamic, because it’s at the heart of why this practice is so pernicious. But, here’s a hint for very, very sharp-eyed listeners and readers:
People like him benefit.
What does God say?
The Lord abhors human pride. I believe that is because it will act to separate us from God, the Maker and Provider of all we have.
Proverbs 11:2 - “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”
Proverbs 16:5 - “The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.”
Proverbs - 16:18 - “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
This is a good review of how pride is discussed in the Bible
