2 Timothy 3:1

2 Timothy 3:1-5 

But mark this: 

There will be terrible times in the last days.

People will be lovers of themselves, 

lovers of money, 

boastful, 

proud, 

abusive, 

disobedient to their parents, 

ungrateful, 

unholy, 

without love, 

unforgiving, 

slanderous, 

without self-control, 

brutal, 

not lovers of the good,

treacherous, 

rash, 

conceited, 

lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God 

having a form of godliness but denying its power. 

Have nothing to do with such people.

Kinda

speaks for itself.

Just

in case anybody missed it.

Locust plague: Second swarm '20 times larger' to ravage East Africa before next harvest

Locust plague.

Pandemic.

It ought to give you a clue about whats going on.

Humble yourselves.

Were not in charge.

Accept God.

But  man won't.

So things will continue to get worse.

Hey honey

Always have sweetheart.

I love you baby.

Let

me ask you something.

How concerned are you right now about:

LBGTQ?

Abortion

And immigrants?

If you're not concerned about it during a crisis?

Then you shouldn't be concerned about it at all.

Church missed it.

It's not about:

LBGTQ?

Abortion

And immigrants.

It was about Greed 

and racism 

and income inequality 

and war mongering and war profiteering.

When things hopefully settle down some?

If your church aint preaching about end times?

Doing bible study on Prophecy?

End times?

Etc?

Then your church is no better than the Pharisees were 

back in their time 

when they couldn't recognize the times they were living in either.

Matthew 16 

The Demand for a Sign

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.

I tell you this much.

If nobody else?

Or very few?

Gonna stand up and preach about:

Greed 

and racism 

and income inequality 

and the indignity of working for poverty wages

and war mongering and war profiteering

and corruption and end times and prophecy etc?

I know somebody whos just about ready 

to throw a damn fit about those issues.

Promise.

I love you honey.

Looks like I'll be getting a phone tomorrow.

:-).

Working in AM.

Getting another tractor out etc:-).

Just bear with me till I get phone situation handled baby.

BTW

People with abusive personalities accuse others of what they do...

"I am directing my administration to halt funding while a review is conducted to assess the World Health Organization's role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus,"

Lets see...

Downplayed severity.

Late response.

Pitted states against the federal government 

in bidding wars for PPE and ventilators.

Pushes an unproven drug.

Talks about "reopening" the economy

without widespread testing even in place.

(Placing his reelection above peoples lives basicly)

And just suspended funding for the WHO during a pandemic.

(Not that the WHO is perfect by any means)

He's went from being

incompetent

erratic 

and irrational...

To full blown evil at this point.

2 Timothy 3:1, 13

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."

"while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, 

deceiving and being deceived."

"Well

if you loose everything you ever worked for

you might as well be dead anyway."

I about lost my shit.

It's is Satans game plan explained to a T.

He's gonna take as many down with him as he can

Its such a worldly,

unbiblical

defeatist

insecure

non-resilient

position to take.

Worry bout your eternity.

Not what you loose here in this realm.

I reiterate:

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Though the fig tree does not bud

    and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

    and the fields produce no food,

though there are no sheep in the pen

    and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the Lord,

    I will be joyful in God my Savior.

The Sovereign Lord is my strength;

    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

    he enables me to tread on the heights.

Jeremiah 17:8

But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, 

whose confidence is in Him. 

He will be like a tree planted by the waters 

that sends out its roots toward the stream. 

It does not fear when the heat comes, 

and its leaves are always green. 

It will not worry in a year of drought or cease producing fruit.

(Lucy?

It's still there BTW.

I Was over there last week.

One of my favorite spots in the whole wide world.)

The point here is.

Many will fall away when the heat comes.

Church members that is.

Mathew 24:10

At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another

Lots of church members 

have never really experienced 

any kinda severe hardship before.

This is all a part of:

Luke 3:17 

"His winnowing fork is in his hand 

to clear his threshing floor 

and to gather the wheat into his barn, 

but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

And they don't understand it.

Cause they never really had to lean on their faith before.

Better start 

and soon.

Would be my advice.

I've used this scenario with several different individuals.

Joel 2 

talks about the sound of burning stubble:

"like a crackling fire consuming stubble"

So when your crawling around?

In the burned subtle field?

Looking for a few kernels of burned hard corn?

And you know the next three feet you crawl are going to be your last?

Wanna take a guess?

What you should be doing?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 

Rejoice always, pray continually, 

give thanks in all circumstances; 

for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

"And on that day

When my strength is failing

The end draws near

And my time has come

Still my soul will

Sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years

And then forevermore

Forevermore"

Because your eternal reward is far more superior

than what ever your currently experiencing.

Thats why.

Since ya had to ask.

"Well if you loose everything you ever worked for

you might as well be dead anyway."

Or

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Though the fig tree does not bud

and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

and the fields produce no food,

though there are no sheep in the pen

and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the Lord,

I will be joyful in God my Savior.

The Sovereign Lord is my strength;

he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

he enables me to tread on the heights.

The choice couldn't be more clear.

Church members does not equal believers.

Anybody can go sit in a pew on Sunday Morning.

Show me wat you got.

Thats

10,00 cars outside a San Antonio food bank a few days ago.

Airlines got enough bailout to hold them till Sept.

Bailing out corporations before we feed people.

Thats how we do shit in this country.

Airlines just gonna go back to where they were 

magically in September somehow?

These corporate fascist fucks 

put 96% or so of their profits for a decade, 

a fucking decade...

into executive bonuses 

and dividend payouts for shareholders.

Money and greed over people.

It's pure evil.

The following speaks for itself.

Matthew 25:31-46 

Judgment of the nations

“Now when the Human One comes in his majesty and all his angels are with him, he will sit on his majestic throne. All the nations will be gathered in front of him. He will separate them from each other, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right side. But the goats he will put on his left.

“Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who will receive good things from my Father. Inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you before the world began. I was hungry and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you gave me clothes to wear. I was sick and you took care of me. I was in prison and you visited me.’

“Then those who are righteous will reply to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and give you clothes to wear? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

“Then the king will reply to them, ‘I assure you that when you have done it for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you have done it for me.’

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me, you who will receive terrible things. Go into the unending fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels. I was hungry and you didn’t give me food to eat. I was thirsty and you didn’t give me anything to drink. I was a stranger and you didn’t welcome me. I was naked and you didn’t give me clothes to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

“Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn’t do anything to help you?’ Then he will answer, ‘I assure you that when you haven’t done it for one of the least of these, you haven’t done it for me.’And they will go away into eternal punishment. But the righteous ones will go into eternal life.”

Oh yeah.

Our biggest exports to the world?

Hydrocarbons and weapons.

"Go into the unending fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels."

Thats a great unforgotten point.

Hell wasn't created for man.

Man just ends up there because

he died in sin 

without his lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Hey Honey

I think the phone died on me honey.

Figures right :-)?

Told you the other day you made me wear out the buttons :-)

I love you baby.

In short

"My God isn't like that"

Is for fools who don't know the book.

.

Seems like everybody got plenty of time to read up

Don't be a fool.

Humble yourself before God.

If you don't know how?

Ask someone.

Read.

Ect.

Zephaniah 3

Zephaniah 3, 1-3

Jerusalem

Woe to the city of oppressors,

    rebellious and defiled!

 She obeys no one,

    she accepts no correction.

She does not trust in the Lord,

    she does not draw near to her God.

 Her officials within her

    are roaring lions;

her rulers are evening wolves,

    who leave nothing for the morning.

Zephaniah 3, 7-8

Of Jerusalem I thought,

    ‘Surely you will fear me

    and accept correction!’

Then her place of refuge would not be destroyed,

    nor all my punishments come upon her.

But they were still eager

    to act corruptly in all they did.

Therefore wait for me,”

    declares the Lord,

    “for the day I will stand up to testify.

I have decided to assemble the nations,

    to gather the kingdoms

and to pour out my wrath on them—

    all my fierce anger.

The whole world will be consumed

    by the fire of my jealous anger.

"pour out"

Sounds like a bowl judgement to me.

Zephaniah 3, 12-13.

But I will leave within you

    the meek and humble.

The remnant of Israel

    will trust in the name of the Lord.

They will do no wrong;

    they will tell no lies.

A deceitful tongue

    will not be found in their mouths.

They will eat and lie down

    and no one will make them afraid.”

Zephaniah 3, 15

The Lord has taken away your punishment,

    he has turned back your enemy.

The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;

    never again will you fear any harm.

Zephaniah 3, 17

The Lord your God is with you,

    the Mighty Warrior who saves.

He will take great delight in you;

    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,

    but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3, 20

At that time I will deal

with all who oppressed you.

I will rescue the lame;

    I will gather the exiles.

I will give them praise and honor

    in every land where they have suffered shame.

At that time I will gather you;

    at that time I will bring you home.

I will give you honor and praise

    among all the peoples of the earth

when I restore your fortunes

    before your very eyes,”

says the Lord.

My god

isn't like that.

Zephaniah 1 

2-4, 6.

Judgment on the Whole Earth in the Day of the Lord

 “I will sweep away everything

    from the face of the earth,”

declares the Lord.

 “I will sweep away both man and beast;

    I will sweep away the birds in the sky

    and the fish in the sea—

    and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble.”

“When I destroy all mankind

    on the face of the earth,”

declares the Lord,

 “I will stretch out my hand against Judah

    and against all who live in Jerusalem.

I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place,

    the very names of the idolatrous priests—...

those who turn back from following the Lord

    and neither seek the Lord nor inquire of him.”

Zephaniah 1, 7

Be silent before the Sovereign Lord,

    for the day of the Lord is near.

The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;

    he has consecrated those he has invited.

Zephaniah 1, 11-13.

Wail, you who live in the market district;

    all your merchants will be wiped out,

    all who trade with silver will be destroyed.

At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps

    and punish those who are complacent,

    who are like wine left on its dregs,

who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,

    either good or bad.’

 Their wealth will be plundered,

    their houses demolished.

Though they build houses,

    they will not live in them;

though they plant vineyards,

    they will not drink the wine.”

Zephaniah 1, 14-18.

The great day of the Lord is near—

    near and coming quickly.

The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;

    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.

That day will be a day of wrath—

    a day of distress and anguish,

        a day of trouble and ruin,

    a day of darkness and gloom,

        a day of clouds and blackness—

     a day of trumpet and battle cry

against the fortified cities

    and against the corner towers.

“I will bring such distress on all people

    that they will grope about like those who are blind,

    because they have sinned against the Lord.

Their blood will be poured out like dust

    and their entrails like dung.

Neither their silver nor their gold

    will be able to save them

    on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”

In the fire of his jealousy

    the whole earth will be consumed,

for he will make a sudden end

    of all who live on the earth.

Zephaniah 2, 3

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,

    you who do what he commands.

Seek righteousness, seek humility;

    perhaps you will be sheltered

    on the day of the Lord’s anger.

Zephaniah 2:10-11 

This is what they will get in return for their pride,

    for insulting and mocking

    the people of the Lord Almighty.

The Lord will be awesome to them

when he destroys all the gods of the earth.

Distant nations will bow down to him,

    all of them in their own lands.

"The Lord will be awesome to them

when he destroys all the gods of the earth."

He just did it.

It doesn't matter if you believe it or not..

Its already happened.

So?

Wats to do now?

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,

you who do what he commands.

Seek righteousness, 

seek humility;

perhaps you will be sheltered

on the day of the Lord’s anger.

Remember.

We haven't really even started end times yet.

Almosy.

But not quite yet.

Best gets your hearts right.

Admit to yourself what you always knew to be true all along but ran from.

Eternity is a mighty long time.

Hey

sweetheart.

I love you baby.

Yep.

So?

what was the end of Habakkuk's prayer to the lord?

What was gonna make things right?

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Though the fig tree should not blossom,

nor fruit be on the vines,

the produce of the olive fail

and the fields yield no food,

the flock be cut off from the fold

and there be no herd in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the Lord;

I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

God, the Lord, is my strength;

he makes my feet like the deer's;

he makes me tread on my high places.

I knew of this verse.

Had it highlighted in my bible.

Special to me.

Feel like I've lived by it somewhat at least.

40 years of going to church.

Never heard of this verse.

Went to church one Sunday.

New Chapel UMC.

Brother Joe brought it up in his sermon.

Went to service at Central Baptist that same Sunday.

The evangelist

 that preached that day?

Wanna take a guess at what was in his sermon?

Yep:

Habakkuk 3:17-19 

Though the fig tree does not bud

    and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

    and the fields produce no food,

though there are no sheep in the pen

    and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the Lord,

    I will be joyful in God my Savior.

The Sovereign Lord is my strength;

    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

    he enables me to tread on the heights.

To many accidents isnt an accident.

It's prayer for our time.

I love you honey.

"My

God isn't like that."

Well...

Lets review shall we?

Habakkuk 2:2-4

The Lord’s Answer

Then the Lord replied:

“Write down the revelation

    and make it plain on tablets

    so that a herald may run with it.

For the revelation awaits an appointed time;

    it speaks of the end

    and will not prove false.

Though it linger, wait for it;

    it will certainly come

    and will not delay.

“See, the enemy is puffed up;

    his desires are not upright—

    but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness."

Habakkuk 2:6 

“Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying,

“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods

    and makes himself wealthy by extortion!

    How long must this go on?’

Habakkuk 2:9 

“Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain,

    setting his nest on high

    to escape the clutches of ruin!"

Habakkuk 2:10 

 You have plotted the ruin of many peoples,

    shaming your own house and forfeiting your life.

Habakkuk 2:16

You will be filled with shame instead of glory.

    Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed!

The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,

    and disgrace will cover your glory.

Habakkuk 2:18 

“Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman?

    Or an image that teaches lies?

For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;

    he makes idols that cannot speak.

Habakkuk 2:19

Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’

    Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’

Can it give guidance?

    It is covered with gold and silver;

    there is no breath in it.”

"The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you..."

Sounds like a bowl judgement to me.

Revelation 16: 1-21

They are "Bowl judgments"

 because they come quickly.

Like filling up a mixing bowl with water 

and pouring it out all at once in your kitchen sink.

Happens kinda quick right?

Same thing here.

"The precedents just don't necessarily fit,

This is something that has moved with such speed: 

I really can't think of another historical comparison."

(Matthew Costello

a White House Historical Association historian 

and American University lecturer.)

"For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation..."

This is always the dead give away 

that it's not gonna work or last.

People need to understand what was going on here.

Interest rates were so low after the great recession?

Companies were borrowing money and buying their own stock

so the stock price would go up.

The increase in the stock price 

was more than enough to offset the cost of the loan.

So in effect...

They were borrowing paper

(Taking out a loan)

To buy more paper

(Stocks)

And then puffing their chest out and beating it 

and saying look at us.

Look what we did.

Aren't we so great?

As I asked my preacher buddy:

"Whats the difference between that and 

creating a golden calf?"

Nothing.

Thats what the difference is.

“I don’t think we’re ever going to lose money again,” 

Doug Parker 

American Airlines CEO

Sept, 2017.

Needs a bailout that probably wont be enough 

to save his company less than three years later.

"We are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable 

just a short time ago, 

and we are never going back!"

Trump in his state of the union address.

Feb 4th 2020.

Fools.

Isaiah 2:12

The Lord Almighty has a day in store

    for all the proud and lofty,

for all that is exalted

    (and they will be humbled),

Isaiah 2:17-18

The arrogance of man will be brought low

    and human pride humbled;

the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

and the idols will totally disappear.

Hey

sweetheart.

I love you honey.

Isaiah 2:17-20

Isaiah 2:17-20

The arrogance of man will be brought low

    and human pride humbled;

the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

and the idols will totally disappear.

People will flee to caves in the rocks

    and to holes in the ground

from the fearful presence of the Lord

    and the splendor of his majesty,

    when he rises to shake the earth.

In that day people will throw away

    to the moles and bats

their idols of silver and idols of gold,

    which they made to worship.

I told you what the idols of worship are these days:

Money

Technology

Entertainment

I'm gonna add in

celebrity as well.

Anybody care so much about Kim Kardashian these days?

Exactly.

Oh?

And luxury?

If it's not craved for?

If it doesn't come between you and God?

It's not  a sin.

In fact one could argue in certain circumstances...

It's recompense.

Good night baby.

I love you honey.

Revelation 18 Highlights

Remember, 

Babylon is the post WW2 economic order.

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’

She has become a dwelling for demons

and a haunt for every impure spirit,"

"The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,

    and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

“‘Come out of her, my people,’

    so that you will not share in her sins,

    so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

for her sins are piled up to heaven,

    and God has remembered her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given;

    pay her back double for what she has done.

    Pour her a double portion from her own cup.

Give her as much torment and grief

    as the glory and luxury she gave herself."

"Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:

    death, mourning and famine.

She will be consumed by fire,

    for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."

“The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore."

“They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’  The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment."

"In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’

“Rejoice over her, you heavens!

    Rejoice, you people of God!

    Rejoice, apostles and prophets!

For God has judged her

    with the judgment she imposed on you.”

"Your merchants were the world’s important people.

    By your magic spell all the nations were led astray."

If it seems a lil more realistic now?
Instead of a book of crazy imagery from years past?
It's because it is real.
And it's happening right in front of your eyes.
Christians been going to church for years.
Never once thought about the book of Revelation.

Well?

“Rejoice over her, you heavens!

    Rejoice, you people of God!

    Rejoice, apostles and prophets!

For God has judged her

    with the judgment she imposed on you.”

Rejoice indeed.
Your book is being proved true right in front of your eyes.
Whether you ever understood it or not.
Don't matter.

Just keep believing.
Redemptive, atoning, supernatural blood of Christ.
Shed for your sins.
It's the only thing.
Gonna save you.
Been telling people a long time.
Be ready spiritually.
It's all you can do.

I love you Lucy.

Revelation 18

Revelation 18

Lament Over Fallen Babylon

After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted:

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’

    She has become a dwelling for demons

and a haunt for every impure spirit,

    a haunt for every unclean bird,

    a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.For all the nations have drunk

    the maddening wine of her adulteries.

The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,

    and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment

Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

“‘Come out of her, my people,’

    so that you will not share in her sins,

    so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

for her sins are piled up to heaven,

    and God has remembered her crimes.Give back to her as she has given;

    pay her back double for what she has done.

    Pour her a double portion from her own cup.

Give her as much torment and grief

    as the glory and luxury she gave herself.

In her heart she boasts,

    ‘I sit enthroned as queen.

I am not a widow;

    I will never mourn.’

Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:

    death, mourning and famine.

She will be consumed by fire,

    for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

Threefold Woe Over Babylon’s Fall

“When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 

Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,

    you mighty city of Babylon!

In one hour your doom has come!’

“The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.

“They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’  The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,

    dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,

    and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!

In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’

“Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city?’ 

They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,

    where all who had ships on the sea

    became rich through her wealth!

In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’

“Rejoice over her, you heavens!

    Rejoice, you people of God!

    Rejoice, apostles and prophets!

For God has judged her

    with the judgment she imposed on you.”

The Finality of Babylon’s Doom

Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said:

“With such violence

    the great city of Babylon will be thrown down,

    never to be found again.

The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters,

    will never be heard in you again.

No worker of any trade

    will ever be found in you again.

The sound of a millstone

    will never be heard in you again.

The light of a lamp

    will never shine in you again.

The voice of bridegroom and bride

    will never be heard in you again.

Your merchants were the world’s important people.

    By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.

In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people,

    of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”

Did you notice?

Everything conservatives have been saying since the Reagan revolution has been proved false.

“We can’t afford to do that”

They’ve said for decades now.

About anything that helps working people.

Then in the blink of an eye

we create 2 trillion dollars out of nothing.

Let me tell ya, two trillion?

 Gonna be a drop in the bucket before this thing is over.

Student loan deferments, Suspension of evections, mortage defaults etc

If we can suspend them during a time of crisis?

We can waive them all together.

In fact?

 We had better waive them all together and soon.

Small Government

What they were really saying but you didn’t know it was:

Lets not have enough enforcement so me and my cronies can do as we please.

And we’ll make plenty of regulations and red tape so its hard as hell to compete against established corporations.

Lets have that small government Grover Norquist and his likes want, 

test, develop and administer a vaccine etc to 327 million.

Lets see how that goes for a second.

More on that in a different post later.

Grover Norquist

Living wages, affordable healthcare, paid time off,

And affordable childcare are leftist, communist ideas that can’t work here.

Well?

Looks like something else isn’t working here if you ask me.

I love this man:

Rev. Dr. William J Barber II

“This virus is teaching us that from now on, living wages, guaranteed health care for all, unemployment and labor rights are not far left issues, but issues of right vs wrong and life vs death."

If:

“Living wages…guaranteed health care for all…and labor rights”

Doesn’t fit your Christian Theology?

Then your theology is incorrect.

Period.

“The country will be opened up and raring to go by Easter.”

So said the party of right to life.

"So if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better," 

So?

This is your political party that has preached about the sanctity of life for decades now?
Nice.

They wanted you to work like surfs for your feudal overlords risking your life for their stock portfolios.

Here is their concern for the sanctity of life fully displayed for everyone:

Former Wells Fargo CEO Richard Kovacevich:

We’ll gradually bring those people back and see what happens. Some of them will get sick, some may even die, I don’t know. Do you want to suffer more economically or take some risk that you’ll get flu-like symptoms and a flu-like experience? Do you want to take an economic risk or a health risk? You get to choose.

You remember that company right?
Wells Fargo?
The ones that set up all the phony accounts and charged people fees and fines for accounts they never opened?
Yeah, well their former CEO says get back to work, go die surfs.

 Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick:

"Let's get back to work. Let's get back to living. Let's be smart about it," Patrick said. "And those of us who are 70 plus, we'll take care of ourselves. But don't sacrifice the country."

It was a sham all along.
Right to life my ass.
More like false theology created to serve a political expediency.
Why else do you think its falling at the seems right now?
Right to life till you and your cronies take a hit on your stock portfolio.

I’ve said it all along.

You’ve been duped.

Take the wool out from over your eyes.

They couldn’t care less about the rights of the unborn.

They don’t even care if the living live or die,
just go work till ya die so my stocks don’t take a hit.

Sickening.
Corporate fascist fucks.

“Let the free market decide”

It aint free.

It’s rigged AF.

But yeah, lets do that right now

Let all those people who worship the free market die there too.

Funny how none of these free market libertarians
rose to the occasion to stand firm in their beliefs.

Okay Masse from KY did but he was about the only exception.

Airline bailouts.

What a waste.

What are we gonna do?

Bail them out month after month?

Some industries just don’t have the ripple effects downstream
in the economy to justify their continued tax payer support.

Not only that but it is morally objectionableas well.

Here is why I say fuck your free market.

The airlines industry over the last decade?

 Put 96?

98?

Percent of its profits into dividend pay outs and stock buy backs.

Then as soon as they hit a speedbump?

They go run to big daddy federal government for a handout.

Oh but you poor surfs, pull yourselves up from your boot straps.

Don’t you dare ask for anything.

It’s not a free market if industries are always playing with house money.

Ask yourself:

You gonna get on a plane in three months?

Six?

12?

18?

When you gonna wanna go spend a night in a hotel/motel?

Go on a vacation?

Soon?
When will anyone be able to afford
a hotel, cruise, vacation, air travel etc?

There are going to be industries that just aren’t gonna make it.

Airlines, casinos and hotels/motels are probably going to be among them.

Let them go.

The money used to prop them up for a short time would have been better administered to the SNAP (Food stamps) program.

(It wasn’t)

People are going to need food,
before they need airlines, hotels and casinos.

Casino bailouts.

How in the world does a casino need a bailout?

Wondering if this is from God.

Bailing out casinos.

It speaks for itself.

Bailing out cruise lines.

Were digging our grave deeper.

Now is the time,
people need to be shouting about let the free market run it’s course.

Lots of industries should  be forced into bankruptcy.

(The ones without long ripple effects into the economy.)

Let them merge and consolidate as things hopefully improve.

Think about it.

The world really needs another cruise ship?

Low budget Airline?
Hotel?

Not for a while we don’t.

We can’t afford to pay people $15 an hour

Yeah we can.

We always could have.

The bankers and the billionaires and conservative echo chamber just convinced you we couldn’t that’s all.

How much is that guy stocking groceries on the shelf worth to you now?

Or the gas station clerk?
Or the hardware store staff?
Or the restaurant employees who are still making your families food for take out?

How much are they worth to you now?

(You go buddy, I love you,

you’re  providing a valuable service
in this time of need, stay safe.)

Spending.

Loan deferments/forgiveness.

Small government.

Living wages.

Healthcare.

Childcare.

Right to life.

Free markets.

Everything you thought you knew
Was wrong…

It doesn’t match up well with Christian Theology.

And if believing in those things was a part of your Christian theology?

Well…

You can see where it led.

I’m sure I missed some

But basically every conservative argument you’ve heard

for the last 40+ years has just been repudiated.

It’s almost like…
It was kinda the point.
Seems like.

I love you honey.

Hey Honey

I love you baby.
