1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

I was given a video to show Trump supporters. It was the harshest, most vile thing. In the video this white man is lecturing the people the way you might speak to a naughty dog. He calls them members of a cult, hypnotized and insults Jesus Christ. He tells them the most sophisticated mass media tools ever assembled have eviscerated their power of discernment. Clearly trying to intimidate people by stringing a bunch of big words together that basically mean “you have been deceived”. He tells them they need to be deprogrammed and that they have succumbed to “Salem witch trial levels of mental lapse”. Says they are white supremacists who wave confederate flags. He says there is no such thing as ANTIFA and then in the next breadth says that ANTIFA only exists to counteract fascists Trump supporters threatening civil war. He says they are disassociated from reality and are filled with false accusations and revenge fantasies and of course that they are delusional. Finally he concludes saying that the 1st amendment does not require platforms to broadcast your message nor does it protect threats of violence.

I could not imagine any Trump supporter actually listening to this garbage. I did because my sister begged me to and she agreed that if I did she also would watch a 9 minute video that I would send her. After watching this I was reminded of a video I saw by two sisters called “Diamond and Silk”. The video was only 7 minutes long. Instead of vile insults they begin with the definition of sedition and treason because of the current impeachment. They then show a clip of the offensive portion of Trump’s speech where he calls for peaceful protest to make their voices heard which is then followed by a montage of perhaps 20 short clips of Pelosi, Maxine Waters, News anchors, actors, actresses all saying things that clearly incited violence, incited sedition, and called for the assassination of the President. In an enjoyable, entertaining, and gentle way they destroyed the accusations that this other guy made and turned it on their own heads concluding their tape with “impeach yourselves”.

2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

The video my sister sent me was of a fool gushing folly. He is what is known as a “useful idiot”. Very likely had no idea that he was a fool (so no malice or intent to deceive, he was the one who was deceived). But what impressed me was that the video by Diamond and Silk was not simply providing knowledge, it was “adorned”. It was entertaining to watch. It was short, only seven minutes. When it was over you realize you were given “receipts”, “evidence” that was undeniable of the duplicity of these ones calling for the impeachment.

3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

We talk about an “echo chamber”. Group think is where everyone in the group agrees with each other, dissent is not allowed, and the message keeps getting reinforced resulting in brain washing and cult like behavior. Do not justify that behavior with some reference to God, the eyes of the Lord are everywhere, He keeps watch on both the wicked and the good. I listen to CNN and Steve Bannon, MSNBC and Dan Bongino, Don Lemon and the Daily Wire. NTD, Newsmax, Fox, etc. No one who was doing that could possibly come up with that vile hate filled video my sister sent. That came from the echo chamber of group think.

4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.

Dinesh D‘Souza is a soothing tongue. The Hodge twins are a soothing tongue. The man on my sister’s video was a perverse tongue.

5 A fool spurns a parent’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.

The weird thing is that once you peeled off the insults and vile rhetoric of the guy in my sister’s video, most everything he said I agreed with. Salem Witch trials, Fascism in the 1930s, and cults are all excellent examples of what we are seeing right now. He said that the claim of voter fraud has been debunked, that was not true, but there have been 61 trials that were dismissed, not on the merits but because the judge figured out some justification for not listening to the trial. The thing is a “hot potato” no one wants to touch it. Cults are not based on falsehood, it is generally a counterfeit bill that is 95% accurate. The fundamental truth in what he said is that “the most sophisticated mass media tools ever assembled have eviscerated their power of discernment”. The problem is that he is consuming that mind control whereas the conservatives have been booted off those platforms. You might think, wait, how can Facebook or Youtube brain wash me, I am the one who decides what to see. Really? I did many searches on various platforms and search engines. I would put in an obscure item on the internet like one of my blogs. On some search engines it would show up as one of the top three items. On Google I couldn’t find it even though I went ten pages deep. They have very sophisticated algorithms designed to hook you and draw you in. Initially they look at what you watch and find similar videos to try and draw you into their platform and hook you. Then they begin to feed you videos they want you to see, perhaps only a tenth of their recommendations but little by little they direct the videos to you that they want you to see and that has nothing to do with your preference. Then they will also shadow ban videos they don’t want you to watch. So unless you request that specific channel you will never see those. Not only so but they can tell from GPS information where you live and work. They use that information to send you videos that they approve of that your neighbors and colleagues like. They are intentionally creating an echo chamber, they are facilitating group think.

6 The house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income of the wicked brings ruin.

I used to listen to CNN driving to and from work. However, I got disgusted because I wasn’t learning anything. I wasn’t learning what the Mueller investigation found out, I wasn’t learning why they were impeaching Trump, they never followed up on the results of these investigations and trials. It seemed they only had one message “orange man bad”. Then when I went to other sites like the Epoch Times it was excellent journalism. Well researched, thoughtful, full of evidence, interviews and explanations. But what about the “income of the wicked brings ruin”. Facebook spent $400 million dollars to influence the election officials to tilt the election towards the Democrats. That is illegal. It is going to bring ruin to them. They use their money to collude (illegal). They are going to trigger antitrust charges against themselves.
 
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but the hearts of fools are not upright.

Dennis Praeger of Praeger University explains why Leftists promote censorship. For years they have pushed their agenda on college campuses and one two hour lecture from a Candace Owens can completely undo years and years of their influence. When they saw what these talks could do they had no choice but to censor them and try and prevent them from coming on campus. That is the problem with having fools try and brain wash you, they can’t respond to the facts and logic. They are not upright.

8 The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.

Zuckerberg paying $400 million to swing the election by essentially bribing the officials is “the sacrifice of the wicked”. The Lord detests that. However, rallies of people praying and appealing for righteousness and justice, that pleases Him.

9 The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.

What is the way of the wicked? We saw it on the video. They tell the observers to go home, that is all the ballots they have for now. They turn off the lights and sit quietly for 30 minutes. Then they pull out boxes of ballots and begin running them through the machine. They will run these same ballots through as many as ten times. Over the next two hours they count 130,000 votes. When people question this they tell them to shut up. When they ask for the log they can’t get it. When they ask to see the ballots they refuse. When they take this to court the judge refuses to listen. When they have hearings before the state legislators they are threatened, doxed, and receive death threats. That is what the Lord hates. What does He love? People who stand up for the truth and for righteousness despite the threats and insults.

10 Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path; the one who hates correction will die.

The path that leads to life is to obey the Lord’s commands. Some of the commands were to obey and submit to the authorities. When people entered the capitol building they left that path and so they got stern discipline. There was even one woman who died as a result.

11 Death and Destruction[a] lie open before the Lord—how much more do human hearts!

People are in too big a rush to prosecute, try, convict and execute all in the same day. This is what they did in Kenosha, in a day burning down the police station. But it turns out that the man who was shot was resisting arrest, had a knife, had attacked cops previously with a knife, had an outstanding warrant for his arrest, was violating a court order at the time of his arrest and had three children in the car which could have become hostages. In the same way Pelosi’s rush to impeach the president was based on his “inciting the riot” only to learn the minute they passed the resolution that there was preplanning for the riot for several days, that equipment for the riot was brought to the capitol building prior to Trump’s speech, and that the people who first breached the perimeter in the riot didn’t even hear Trump’s speech. The Lord knows the hearts, trust the Lord.

12 Mockers resent correction, so they avoid the wise.

If you have the truth, if you are righteous, you would welcome free and open discussion and debate. This is how you learn and become wiser. Those who oppose people coming to campuses to speak are mockers. They avoid the wise.

13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. 14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

The way the election turned out these last three months has been crushing to many. I think the best course of action is to seek knowledge and avoid feeding on folly.

15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast. 16 Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.

I would encourage everyone to stay cheerful. How bad can it be? They can cause you to have “little” but they can’t take away your fear of the Lord, they can’t keep you from being cheerful. Therefore you can live in a continual feast. Meanwhile those who are looking to get great wealth from this fraud they will get that wealth with turmoil.

17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.

The hatred expressed in that video my sister sent was stunning to me. Why the hatred? Does it make any sense? It caused me to look at the video that Diamond and Silk made differently. The threats and incitement by Pelosi and Maxine Waters, why? Why are they so hateful? These actors depicting the assassination of Trump being shot, stabbed and having his head severed, why the hate?

18 A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel. 19 The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.

You can say there are things that are blocking your way. But if you are out there taking the path every day those excuses become trivial.

20 A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother.

It is important for us to consider our mother and father. You can consider those that fought and died for the church, fought and died for God’s word to be released, even fought and died so that this country could be a place where you are free to speak the word of God.

21 Folly brings joy to one who has no sense, but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.

We need a straight course. The Tech giants colluded to throw the election. That is a direct threat to the country. China, Iran and others also colluded. Therefore we need a straight course to deal with these threats.
 
22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

We need a lot of advisors. It is clear we cannot rely on or depend on these tech giants. They have done everything to undermine and even usurp our country. That means we need replacements for Twitter, Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon.com. Yes, you can make a much bigger list, but if we can take down these five giants you will wipe out the influence they have which was huge, and you will send a stark warning to the rest. Parler is obviously the biggest threat to them which is why they attacked it first, so lets understand why. Parler had 1 million subscribers a year ago, that is tiny, a few weeks ago they have 15 million. So yes, it was growing rapidly, but still quite small compared to the giants. However, Trump had moved a shadow account to Parler, preparing to open it as soon as he left office. Trump has 100 million subscribers across all his platforms. Parler would have jumped to 120 million subscribers and that is not small. Worse yet, Twitter and Facebook’s loss would have been Parler’s gain, that is a double whammy. Investors and advertisers would have been outraged and this was a self inflicted wound. That would cause them to question the competency of the leadership. As a result of trying to wipe out Parler they have sent a chilling message worldwide and you are seeing a much greater exodus from their platform as a result. So then if they can get Parler back up and running before the earnings are released in February you will have an even worse situation than the one that caused them to panic two weeks ago. Courage is contagious. It is very possible that we will see a huge gain in February. Twitter and Facebook could see historic losses, Google, Youtube, Amazon.com could also see the effect of boycotts. These things will snowball. As these companies collapse it releases those who are held in bondage by them. Without their money they have no power, no authority.

23 A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word! 24 The path of life leads upward for the prudent to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead.

The argument being made is that these are private companies, they are not required to allow Parler and others post on them. Of course that is not the issue, the issue is that Parler had a contract and they were given 24 hours to move a billion dollar company off of Amazon.com’s servers while the tech giants were calling all other server farms to prevent them from moving there. Still the point is made, if the company doesn’t have to let you on, then the same is true for me. I have the freedom to go somewhere else. Who is going to suffer more? It doesn’t cost me a dime to move to a different platform, but it will cost them. They get fewer views, fewer posts, less activity, fewer subscribers. Advertisers and Investors will be outraged. If the collapse is big enough it could warrant lawsuits from investors over mismanagement. If their activity that caused the exodus was criminal it could cause investors to demand full accountability (civil and criminal trials).

25 The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but he sets the widow’s boundary stones in place.

This is no “pie in the sky” tin foil hat theory. Blockbuster, MySpace are just two examples of how these companies can collapse. So let’s look at this a little closer. I was a stock broker so when I first learned what I am going to tell you it was a big surprise. Twitter went from 25 to 55 in a year. If you are growing at 100% per year how much will $100 be worth in five years? Obviously it will not continue to grow at 100% per year, because in that case $100 would be worth $3,200. So let’s assume that this is much higher than it will be, but how much higher? That is the gamble that investors are placing. They will put up 50% of what they think the stock will be worth in five years. So if we are very conservative and say that $100 will be worth $1,000 then you would be willing to pay $500 for that stock. Doubling your money in five years is a good return, but gambling on those super high returns means you get an even better price, so in reality they will be able to get it at $250. Now suppose earnings come out and instead of growth you see shrinkage! Not just a hiccup, but you lost your primo account, Donald Trump with 100 million subscribers who tweets multiple times a day. He generates hundreds of millions of views, retweets, and comments on a daily basis. He has left. Because they censored him and kicked off the President of the US other people have left too. They are boycotting Twitter. Not only so but the entire world has seen this and been warned. You won’t see an immediate exodus because they need to find a suitable platform, but you can expect a consistent and regular exodus as these platforms ramp up their infrastructure. So let’s go back to the stock price. If I now see that Twitter is no longer growing but actually shrinking, so that in five years $100 worth of stock might only be worth $50 in five years, then I am only going to invest $25 for that stock. That’s right, stock that is valued at $250 today could be valued at $25 next month when earnings come out. Do you really think a company with a market capitalization of $43 billion doesn’t have debt? Anyone would think that $4 billion of debt for a company worth that much would be safe. But the stock price drops 90% and all of sudden they have too much debt and people have to sell to improve the balance sheet. Not only so, but if you lose half of your customers you have way too much infrastructure, what do you do? Lay off people, sell assets? Great optics on the business page. How about pension funds and mutual fund holdings? Are they going to continue to hold onto the stock like holding an anchor on a sinking ship? I am not a moron, I would never suggest this were it not for them kicking off some of their biggest and best accounts. But when you ban accounts the size of Trump, Bannon, Flynn, Sydney Powell, Ron Watkins, Dan Bongino, etc, and you have done this all in such a short period of time the impact on earnings will hit you in a single earnings report, it will be a tsunami. It will be the Lord that tears down the house of the proud.

26 The Lord detests the thoughts of the wicked, but gracious words are pure in his sight.

Do you know what the wicked did? There is a man named Mike Lindell that makes pillows (I have one, it is truly a great pillow). He makes other bedding stuff and because he donates money to conservative causes they decided to ban him from outlets at shopping malls like Kohls and Bed Bath and Beyond. Already his business was about 70% online. This is forcing him to go 100% online. At a time where retail outlets are going bankrupt at a spectacular rate these companies have offended 50% of Americans and now they are calling for people to boycott Bed Bath and Beyond as well as Kohl’s. He is now getting free advertising on all the conservative media outlets, and these people will support anyone they attack. You doubt it? AOC attacked Goya and they named her the “saleswoman of the year” because their sales doubled as a result of her call for a boycott. I would not be surprised if Mike Lindell is soon the owner of Bed Bath and Beyond. They will go bankrupt and his house will be built on the rock.

27 The greedy bring ruin to their households, but the one who hates bribes will live.

This is what Zuckerburg did. He spent $400 million on bribing and influencing the election officials. Facebook and Twitter will both be brought to ruin. Amazon.com is also very vulnerable. Amazon.com has a much tighter margin than these other companies. They can easily be replaced because the service they provide can be provided easily by the people who sell through Amazon.com. They can use FedEx, UPS, and their own website. However, Amazon.com has a lot of infrastructure and overhead. So even a drop of 5-10% in sales will have a big impact on Amazon.com.
 
28 The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.

It is astounding what we have heard gushing out of these evil people. Two things in particular, they are calling for “reeducation camps” for the children of Conservatives and they are calling for black lists. Simple response and I am quite serious about this. We could easily go to the one room classroom at the church that we used to have. Every school in the country has been online and put interactive lessons online. Half of those teachers are Christians. I teach high school Earth Science and Chemistry. I could put my entire year's course online and offer it free nationwide. There are already plenty of online math courses available. You teach english with books, as well as social studies. What do you need? A retired teacher to supervise twenty kids with computers. You might also want to bring in a few teachers for tutoring, but using ZOOM it is easy. Call their bluff! 50% of the kids in the Public school walk out. Their school will be superior in results. The contracts in Public schools don’t allow them to fire teachers. This would be catastrophic to them. It would take ten years of hiring freeze to return to anything close to sustainable. Meanwhile these church schools would have plenty of people wanting to work for them at a discount.

29 The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.

The message is that the Lord has built His house. We have an arm like God, we have a voice like God. It is time to flex our muscles and roar, just like our older brother the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

31 Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise. 32 Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding. 33 Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor.

Wisdom’s instruction is not, I repeat not, to fear Twitter or Facebook or Amazon.com. Wisdom’s instruction is not to fear those who threaten reeducation camps. We fear God, the one who overthrew Pharaoh, the one who conquered death, the one who trained David to take down a giant.
