America in Crisis

When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620, they dedicated
this land to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Accordingly, in the 404 years since
then, God has richly blessed our country, even when we did not deserve to be blessed
(the whole issue of slavery, for example).
But our country is now in a state of spiritual, moral, and ethical decline. On June 17, 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court,
in Abington School District v. Schempp, banned mandatory prayer and Bible reading in public
schools.[1] In my opinion, it was this
watershed court decision which triggered this national decline into
apostasy and
Secular Humanism. Now this ban has spread into nearly all areas of
public life. Prayer, Bible reading, and even the very mention of any form of
Biblical faith is banned from all government-owned and/or
Roe v. Wade was a landmark legal decision issued on January 22, 1973, in which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Texas statute banning abortion, effectively legalizing the procedure across the United States. The court held that a woman’s right to an abortion was implicit in the right to privacy protected by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Prior to Roe v. Wade, abortion had been illegal throughout much of the country since the late 19th century.[2]
This Satan-inspired
decision by America’s court was, for all intents and purposes, the government’s decision to
begin offering our children to
Moloch
(a.k.a.
Molech or Molek) for personal gain. Since that decision, America has
murdered over 60 million of our unborn children on the altar of self-indulgence. Compare that
to
the crimes of two Antichrist figures, Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler. Hitler murdered six
million innocent Jews and Stalin murdered ten million political opponents. America has murdered
almost four times as many innocents as Hitler and Stalin combined! God held ancient Israel
accountable and brought His righteous judgment upon them for that sin; how can He not hold
America likewise accountable? Thanks to conservative justices appointed by
President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court was able to overturn Roe v.
Wade
on June 24, 2022, holding that there was no longer a federal constitutional
right to an abortion. If there is “no longer a federal constitutional right
to an abortion” then — de facto — such a right never existed in the first place and the
high court ruled in error in 1973.
Overturned or not, the damage has been done, and at this writing the
Democrat Party has vowed to resume the practice during the next President’s
term of office, assuming a nearly-automatic win by Kamala Harris this November.
Kamala Harris is very likely the most Liberal (i.e.,
Leftist), Socialist, and anti-God candidate to ever be
nominated for President of the United States of America, and her election to
the Oval Office would very likely mark the end of our Constitutional
Republic. Again, this is NOT a political
statement; it is a spiritual statement!
For
roughly the past 40 years, the Democrat Party has pulled out all the
stops in their effort to turn our constitutional republic into a
Godless,
Marxist, Socialist dictatorship. They have managed to weaponize
nearly every federal agency, and anyone who dares to oppose their
authority must certainly suffer the consequences of their
significant power and wrath. For the past seven years Donald Trump has
been leading America’s efforts to halt the Democrat overthrow of the
republic. As a result, the DNC successfully stole the 2020 election
and is doing everything in their power to steal the 2024 election as
well. Because the DNC virtually owns every agency that would have
the authority and power to bring them to justice, it will take a
massive surge of effort on the part of America’s conservatives to
defeat every Democrat candidate for state and federal office on
November 4.
In April of 2024 Donald Trump was indicted by a New York County Grand Jury on 34 felony counts alleging that he falsified New York business records in order to conceal damaging information “to influence the 2016 presidential election.” If true, that would be a federal crime and federal courts, not the Manhattan Criminal Court, would have sole jurisdiction. Not only did the Manhattan court have no jurisdiction over the alleged crime, Trump’s motion for a change of venue out of the overwhelmingly Democrat judicial district was categorically denied, as was the motion for Judge Juan Merchan, a generous Biden donator, to recuse himself on the grounds of clear and present bias. During the trial, President Trump found himself bound by numerous “gag orders” to prevent him from commenting on any element of his clearly political persecution. Paying thousands of dollars in fines for violating these unconstitutional “gag orders,” the former president did manage a few public comments on the case and its obvious bias.
On May 30, 2024, President Donald J. Trump was convicted on 34 counts of yet-to-be-defined “crimes,” which were so vaguely defined that not a single member of the jury — save perhaps the two attorney/jurors — could possibly have known what they actually were. At no time was the jury informed of the elements of the alleged crimes; they were therefore in absolutely no position to possibly come to any informed decision of guilt or innocence by the former President. Throughout the entire trial, “Judge” Merchan showed obvious disdain for defense counsel and refused to sustain numerous defense objections to obvious violation of the rules of evidence and of judicial procedure on the part of the prosecution. Amazingly, the third highest official in the Democrat-owned and -weaponized Department of Justice temporarily stepped down to serve on the prosecution team led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, another Democrat.
During the proceedings Michael Cohen, the primary witness for the prosecution, openly admitted to offering perjured testimony, but no action was taken by the judge, and the jury was not instructed to disregard his perjury. In fact, there was no clear unanimous decision on the part of the jury (a legal requirement) because the judge’s instructions to them gave them the option to pick any of three separate “crimes” of which to find him guilty, and that would be sufficient to return a “guilty” verdict. Attorneys who serve as commentators on Fox News cited a litany of violation of President Trump’s constitutional rights, any one of which would serve as grounds to overturn his conviction on appeal. It is their considered opinion that there is an absolute zero possibility that the Supreme Court would fail to summarily overturn the conviction, but the appeal process is a lengthy one that could possibly take years to navigate.
The court date for President Trump’s sentencing is set for July 11, which is — conveniently — just three days before the Republican National Convention. At that hearing the judge will have to option to release President Trump on bail pending appeal, order house arrest and probation, or order him jailed. If true to form, he will very likely order him remanded. This entire gross miscarriage of justice has very obviously been orchestrated for one single purpose — to allow Joe Biden to refer to President Trump as “a convicted felon” and to prevent Trump from conducting his campaign.
Had this gross miscarriage of justice been perpetrated against any Democrat candidate, every major city in the United States would have been ablaze by sunset Thursday evening, May 30. Fortunately, America’s conservatives have much better self control.
Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio has subpoenaed the New York County District Attorney and Senior Council to both appear before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government of the Committee on the Judiciary to explain their actions in the case. It is my sincere hope that the corrupt judge in the case will likewise be held to account, and that all three will then face disbarment and prosecution for their criminal conspiracy and participation in the attempt to compromise the 2024 presidential election.
Good for you Mr. Jordan. Maybe the rest of the GOP will now take off their gloves and start campaigning in earnest! If they don’t, the America we know and love will be forever lost!

Psalm 12 (New Living Translation)
For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be
accompanied by an eight-stringed instrument.
1 Help, O LORD, for the godly are fast disappearing!
The faithful have vanished from the earth!
2 Neighbors lie to each other,
speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts.
3 May the Lord cut off their flattering lips
and silence their boastful tongues.
4 They say, “We will lie to our hearts’ content.
Our lips are our own—who can stop us?”
5 The Lord replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless,
and I have heard the groans of the poor.
Now I will rise up to rescue them,
as they have longed for me to do.”
6 The Lord’s promises are pure,
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
7 Therefore, Lord, we know you will protect the oppressed,
preserving them forever from this lying generation,
8 even though the wicked strut about,
and evil is praised throughout the land.
What is the Answer to this Crisis?
(June 1, 2023)
OK, Mr. Gloom and Doom! You’ve convinced me! America is in trouble! So now what can we do abouto it?
Here is exactly what we can do about it! We can listen to what God says to do about it!
This week’s parashah is Bechukotai (Leviticus 26:3-27:34) and the section we want to focus on to start with is Leviticus 26:3-4 as translated in the Complete Jewish Bible.
3 “‘If you live by my regulations, observe my mitzvot [commands] and obey them; 4 then I will provide the rain you need in its season, the land will yield its produce, and the trees in the field will yield their fruit.
It is of critical importance to understand that this is a conditional promise. If, and only if, God’s people fulfill their obligation to God, then He will act as promised. If the people live by His regulations, observe His commands, and obey His commands, then He will send the rain required for the land to yield its produce and for the trees to yield their fruit.
What three activities are required of the people?
to live by: Hebrew הָלַךְ (haw-lak'), to walk, go or come, follow
His regulations: Hebrew חֻקָּה (khook-kaw'), statute, ordinance, limit, enactment, something prescribed
to observe: Hebrew שָׁמַר (shaw-mar'), to keep, watch, preserve
and to obey: Hebrew עָשָׂה (aw-saw'), to follow, do, fashion, accomplish, make
His commands: Hebrew מִצְוָה (mits-vaw'), command, obligation, prescribed, terms
Compare that with another of God’s conditional promises found in in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (CJB).
…then if My people, who bear My name, will humble themselves, pray, seek My face and turn from their evil ways, [then] I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.
Now let’s break this other conditional promise down and see what is required. First we need to understand that the promise is made only to His people who bear by His name. It is not made to those who are not His, those whose king is the god of this world. So what are the terms of the promise?
humble themselves: Hebrew כָּנַע (kaw-nah'), to be humble, be humbled, be subdued, be brought down, be low, be under, be brought into subjection, submit
pray: Hebrew פָלַל (paw-lal'), to intervene, interpose, pray
seek His face: Hebrew בּקַשׁ (baw-kash'), to seek, require, desire, exact, request
turn from their evil ways: Hebrew שׁוּבּ (shoob), to turn back, return, turn around, come back
So those who are praying for God to heal America but who are not called by His name, are not among His people, are wasting their breath. And those who are called by His name, who are among His people but who have not humbled themselves, submitted to His will, who are not earnestly seeking His face, to live as He would have them live, who have not turned from their wicked ways, are also wasting their breath. He has no obligation to heal America until America does its part and fulfills its obligations to Him under the terms of these two conditional promises.
But if America does not do its part and fulfill its obligations to Him, here is His response!
… 15 if you loathe my regulations and reject my rulings, in order not to obey all my mitzvot but cancel my covenant; 16 then I, for my part, will do this to you: I will bring terror upon you — wasting disease and chronic fever to dim your sight and sap your strength. You will sow your seed for nothing, because your enemies will eat the crops.
America is at a critical crossroads and the future of our country depends on how we respond as a nation. We must be all in with God or America is done. The Great Experiment of self rule will be over. It is either/or time, blessing or cursing. From now on out there is no middle ground. God says ...
I call on heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have presented you with life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore, choose life, so that you will live, you and your descendants, loving ADONAI your God, paying attention to what He says and clinging to Him — for that is the purpose of your life! On this depends the length of time you will live in the land … (Deuteronomy 30:19-20, CJB)
