“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” said another person with direct knowledge of how Harris’ office is run. “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s—.” MORE

Dear Reader:
At least five people were killed and hundreds injured in the Czech Republic when a destructive tornado struck late Thursday. The twister destroyed thousands of structures as it tore through seven towns and villages in the southeast region of the country. It was likely among the most severe on record in the area. VIDEO
Reply to Jim Morris and the rest of the News Media.
One important cause of Native American depopulation during European contact was epidemic disease. The sixteenth through nineteenth centuries saw many different diseases strike Native American’s, North and South populations with considerable frequency. Many of the diseases, such as syphilis, smallpox, measles, mumps, and bubonic plague, were of European origin, and Native Americans exhibited little immunity because they had no previous exposure to those diseases. When you have this volume of deaths, there’s no time for grave stones and the like.
Shame shame shame on the news media for slandering Christians who often were killed for helping Indians from killing themselves, for the most part.
God’s revenge is here to stay, until judgment day. Weep America, weep.

St. John the Baptist, Elias and God’s Kingdom
When John the Baptist appeared at the Jordan river, proclaiming that the kingdom of God was at hand (cf. Mt. 3:1-12; Mk. 1:2-8; Lk. 3:2-18) the Jews flocked to hear him. (One has to remember that John came from the priestly TRIBE and was supposed to become a priest), The expectation of the Promised Redeemer, the Messiahs, was strong at this time, and here was a Prophet announcing his proximate arrival and calling on the people to repent of their sins in order to be prepared to receive him.

What a joke, what if all the cars in California were electric right now, we would be having blackouts.
As temperatures hit triple digits during California’s heat wave last week, the state’s power grid operators encouraged residents to relieve pressure on the grid by charging their electric vehicles before the peak energy use times of day. MORE VIDEO

A good look at today’s America
I live about 20 minutes south of the Canadian border, which used to be called the longest undefended frontier in the world. People moved freely back and forth across it all day every day. But now it’s been closed for over a year. At one point my daughter asked me to drive her up there, because there was a 30-minute opportunity for people on one side to talk to their friends on the other. “Sad!” as President Trump would say. It was like Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin during the Cold War, except that both sides are now like East Berlin. MORE
