1 In the course of time, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun succeeded him as king. 2 David thought, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father.
When David’s men came to the land of the Ammonites, 3 the Ammonite commanders said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Hasn’t David sent them to you only to explore the city and spy it out and overthrow it?” 4 So Hanun seized David’s envoys, shaved off half of each man’s beard, cut off their garments at the buttocks, and sent them away.
5 When David was told about this, he sent messengers to meet the men, for they were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho till your beards have grown, and then come back.”
It is shocking to me that the leaders of nations and their advisors could be so idiotic and childish. Of course this was a long time ago and yet we see the same thing today. After the 2016 election the claim was made that Russian disinformation influenced and swung the election to Trump. That is something very serious, so I was fully in support of the Mueller investigation to determine what happened. (Yet it is stunning to me that all those who were so “outraged” at Trump’s election and hoping for Mueller to convict him never paid attention to the findings of those investigations. In those investigations we learned several really shocking things that need to be prosecuted, yet by that time no one seems interested in hearing about it anymore.) So then Russian disinformation was claimed to be similar to “misinformation”. Here is the difference between the two, if Russia is trying to manipulate the American public with a concerted and coordinated attempt at spreading disinformation that is something the US security apparatus needs to be concerned with. However, misinformation is a much broader category. When Trump suggested that Hydrochlorquine could be used to treat Covid, that is “misinformation” and is “dangerous”. Fauci comes out and says that scientific studies have been done and shown that it is not effective. Even though that claim was totally false it was held up as the standard by which all other claims were measured. Later, after the election, scientific studies were published that proved Hydrochlorquine was effective. But then after Jan 6 they now claim that “misinformation” (anything they disagree with) can incite insurrection. So now not only are claims they disagree with censored, they (Democrats) now want private businesses to kick off news agencies like Fox and OANN from their platforms. It is an effort to silence dissent. But think how idiotic this is, David sends an envoy to show sympathy for the king’s death and they assume they are spies? Therefore they mock them the way despicable kids in high school would mock the fat kid. This is what we are seeing today in our country, despicable bullies in the halls of congress trying to bully and humiliate their opponents.
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become obnoxious to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth Rehob and Zobah, as well as the king of Maakah with a thousand men, and also twelve thousand men from Tob.
I am now hearing liberals who find what is happening obnoxious. As a rule most liberals are for free speech. They might hate Trump, might hate Fox, but for the Democrats to try and eliminate free speech, that is obnoxious to them. On the other hand there are “never Trumpers” who are completely offended by some of the things that Trump has said and yet the equality act put forth by the Democrats is completely obnoxious to them. This law would allow men (who identify as women) to use the women’s locker room, bathroom, compete in women’s sports and even use battered women’s shelters. This is not just for adults but for children in K-12 and this also applies to private religious schools. Even if it is “an all girls school” any boy who “identifies as a girl” could attend. Not only so but this law is exempt from laws that protect religious organizations.
7 On hearing this, David sent Joab out with the entire army of fighting men. 8 The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance of their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maakah were by themselves in the open country. 9 Joab saw that there were battle lines in front of him and behind him; so he selected some of the best troops in Israel and deployed them against the Arameans. 10 He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai his brother and deployed them against the Ammonites. 11 Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to come to my rescue; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to rescue you. 12 Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.”
This is a two front battle. We need to fight in the political arena and also in the corporate arena. Politically we can have recalls like we are doing with Newsom and impeachments like we are seeing with Cuomo. We need to challenge changes to election laws in the courts and in the local legislatures. We need to primary representatives that we disagree with. In the corporate arena we need to boycott anyone who complies with cancel culture and censorship. We need to support those who stand for free speech.
13 Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him. 14 When the Ammonites realized that the Arameans were fleeing, they fled before Abishai and went inside the city. So Joab returned from fighting the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
At the moment they are being routed. Biden’s approval rating among independents is now down to 39%. Attempts to cancel Mike Lindell have blown up in their face. Firing Carrano has turned her into the most popular actress in the US.
15 After the Arameans saw that they had been routed by Israel, they regrouped. 16 Hadadezer had Arameans brought from beyond the Euphrates River; they went to Helam, with Shobak the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them. 17 When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan and went to Helam. The Arameans formed their battle lines to meet David and fought against him. 18 But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers.[a] He also struck down Shobak the commander of their army, and he died there. 19 When all the kings who were vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been routed by Israel, they made peace with the Israelites and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.
This is what we need to do, destroy businesses that work with the Democrats push for censorship. I heard there were now over 20 retail outlets that have stopped using Mike Lindell’s products. I would like to see Mike Lindell’s website expand to include all the products sold in those stores and see those stores go bankrupt. Many of them are located in shopping malls which are already on the ropes due to the Pandemic. If we rout these businesses who are spineless and going along with this despicable agenda (teaching their employees to “be less white”, firing people because they support conservative values, and censoring anyone who disagrees with the left).
