Of course, think of the hypocrisy of June Teenth. It is such a slap in the face and insult to all those who fought and died to end slavery. Any reasonable person would have honored the Gettysburg address, an address made at a battlefield where so many died and which led to this declaration, or you could have honored the end of the Civil war. But no, if they did either of those they would have been giving credit to Lincoln, a Republican.

June teenth, a meaningless event that no one even knew about until the Democrats straight out of Jim Crowe and the AnteBellum south told us was significant.
Perhaps its time parents stop relying on the government and rely more on God and start doing their jobs as parents and taking the job seriously

I think that falls under the "no can do in 2022" category. It all began with the equal rights movements in the 60's and 70's where they took something seemingly good like equal rights and manipulated it for their own benefits. They were faced with trying to negotiate better benefits(insurance,retirement,pay ect.) because they only had a small pool of workers at the time and were competing for employees.

They took the words "equal rights" and made everyone think that meant that everyone would be making the same type living as those men did in the 50's and 60's where a family could buy a home,car have insurance ect. only on the husbands salary and double it because the wife was going to work. In truth though instead of a families making twice as good an living because both were working it ended up doubling the people applying for jobs. As time went on they would advertise 20 job opening's and hundreds of people(men and women of all races) would stand in line trying to get those 20 jobs. Because they doubled or tripled the the number of people looking for jobs they no longer needed to have retirement,good insurance ect.(people began begging for jobs instead of employers begging for employees)...

Then since they had both the mothers and fathers working they needed to invent things because of the paradigm shift(because both the father and mother were working when they got off work they were tired because they had worked all day) and so fast food and surrounding technology were invented. Microwaves,boxed pizza,tv dinners,baby formula ect. all began to flood the stores because they were tired and could no longer go home and do those things because they needed to rest.

As time went on then it was no longer an "equal right" issue of "if, the woman wanted" to work it became a fact of life that they would not be able to pay their house note,utilities,car note ect. unless the wife,mother also had a full time job. Now it's 2022 and both husband's and wives work but instead of the standard of life being doubled it was "divided by two" and is "equal" in that they both have to work harder to live the way they did in the 1960's.

I do agree with you though about the children and taking seriously raising them as God intended. It seems that the children are being severely impacted by this(bearing the brunt of the paradigm shift). The children are raised either in "day care" or "daycare 2"(school) because mom and dad both work all day and are too tired to give them their attention. Day after day the children raise themselves and play video games and do their own homework because mom and dad are too tired. It's a wonder we don't see even more immoralities and mass shootings than we do after letting them raise themselves. "No can do in 2022",,, try and reverse what big brother did with the equal rights mandate try and apply for food type assistance and stay at home and raise your children and they will tell you " you don't qualify unless you look for a job....

A possession of stinging nettles and saltpits

Zephaniah 2:8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. 9 Therefore as I live, saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall make a prey of them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them.

One thing that has completely dominated the news is this whole LGBTQ+ agenda in which they are grooming kids in public school. We were shocked to learn they had pornographic books in the school libraries, books so filthy that when someone read one of these in a school board meeting they were censored. We have slowly been made aware of how evil is Disney and how their theme parks are prime locations for kids to be kidnapped and trafficked. But here we learn that God is watching this news as well, He has heard this. To make things worse they magnify themselves, a school board is supposed to operate at the whim of the parents but they set themselves above the parents and wanted the DOJ to arrest anyone who showed up to complain. Complying with these wishes the DOJ was willing to classify anyone complaining at a school board meeting as a domestic terrorist. One father of a girl raped at school by a boy who entered the girl's bathroom and then was transferred to another school where he raped a girl there too, when this father complained they dragged him out in handcuffs.

I got to see stinging nettles in England. I hated them, they stick to your clothes and if you try and pull them off they sting. They are like this whole cancel culture woke mob. A salt pit would be the most desolate place, no way any plants can grow in a salt pit. This is what the public school system is going to become. A habitation of this despicable woke cancel culture mob and salt pits. The only solution is to pull your kid from this cursed place.

10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts.

Is this a play on words for the Pride movement? Their parades are disgusting. They reproach believers and yet their behavior is abhorrent. Pride is an appropriate term, they are arrogant to the point of being repulsively noxious.

11 Jehovah will be terrible unto them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the nations.

Thank you Lord. Remember your word, to do it. Amen and amen.

I totally get that, i rember a video from a guy on youtube, (not sure if I can find it again) about his friend rockerfeller, saying that rockerfeller supported womens rights movement because it got women out of the house so they could tax 2 incomes.

I wouldnt be suprised if thats the reason a lot of rich white guys supported the movment back then.

So that raises the queation why dont people fight for a better quality of life??

lol, yes Aaron Russo he was an candidate for Governor of Nevada back in the 90's,film producer ect. He was a friend of Nicholas Rockefeller he is the one who said those things to Russo. If you search those names you'll find a lot about what your referring to.

I don't think people will fight for a better way of life anymore because the older ones who remember that day are dying off and to the younger ones this is just the way it's been their whole lives so to them it's normal.

Given the all-out assault on little children by the Left, every child should be taken out of every public school by every parent right now. After that whether they home-school or find a private school or a Christian school would be up to them. But the littlest children are under serious attack.

There should there be freedom of choice in which parents could send their children to private schools instead of public schools? Let's face it, there's a lot of anti-Christian and pro LGBT/Woke indoctrination going on in our public school system. Furthermore, many public schools underperform, academically, when compared to private schools. And parents tax dollars are paying for this kind of crappola.

Note that teacher's unions across the country are against 'school choice' because it would make them change their curriculum to fit parents desires. School choice, competition, would eliminate a lot of 'teacher union' power and would force public school teachers improve their academic performance.

Of course, the teacher's unions have the full support of the Democratic Party. The Dems kowtow to them to get their large voting bloc. But this is only hypocrital support from the Dems. Almost all high ranking Dem politicos sent their own children to private schools, to include Biden, Pelosi, and Obama.. School choice is for them but not for common people.


My solution would be to let parents choose where to send their children, to include religious schools. For instance, if the state has allocated $10,000 for a child's public school year, the parents should be able to use that money to send their children to a private school. Just my opinion.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You aren't suggesting that these people who are taking your guns, defunding your police, and encouraging mobs to threaten anyone who goes against them to have their homes and their families come out from behind their gated community are you?
Perish the thought.

Why does thay sound so familiar kinda like the national socialists party of Germany from 1935-1944
Because the Left is fascist. Sound extreme? Consider that Hitler and Mussolini started their careers as socialists. Consider that the modern Left believes in oligarchical dictatorship (from the Left side, of course), as embodied by a Supreme Court that makes policy (an unconstitutional power), using the false justification that the US Constitution is a "living" document. I could go on.. and on.. and I do, in some vlogs I have up.

Yeah and hitlers favorite machine was the IBM, for tracking and monitoring all the jews in the concentration camps. I am sure if he saw how governments use computers today he would be proud of them.

I'm sure he'd love, at least the idea, of the useful idiot foot soldiers in antifa and BLM who's job is to terrorize the population into silence.

Don't worry, we have a new Hitler on the rise who'll have access to all sorts of surveillance and tracking technology. The Bible just hasn't given us the date.

But, don't worry, we have a new Hitler on the rise who'll have access to all sorts of surveillance and tracking technology. The Bible just hasn't given us the date of his arrival.
