“United States of Akkad in 2022 A.D. instead of 2200 B.C.?” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/10/2022

I’ve been reading a lot of history books about the years of Antiquity and Ancient Empires including Sumerians, Hittites, and Akkadians since I traced one of my family lineages to the Macedonian/Turkey area in 720 BCE historically. When I came across what has been thought to have happened to the Akkadian Empire along with others before in same area at the same time as the Egyptians, I was shocked that Akkad seemed to disappear from the Earth after being a main empire for hundreds of years before. A three hundred year drought happened to cause deaths and then forced relocation due to the loss of crops, water, and lack of ability to keep people alive let alone prosperous as the empire had been for hundreds of years. Weather cycle drought and a main volcanic eruption caused their demise to happen in antiquity.

I had an “Oh, Lord Jesus, could the major drought in the United States in 2022 be a precursor to us like it was to Akkad in 2200 B.C when their leaders didn’t consider prosperity was getting ready to be taken away violently?” Weather cycles has been happening for centuries as noted by various histories, and they still happen around the world today even though ‘climate change’ is the current term that is NOT what they claim. Could this once prosperous country of America see a similar catastrophe happen here as it did to Akkad in Mesopotamia almost four thousand years ago? I’m sure those Akkadian, Macedonian, and Egyptian leaders hadn’t thought the Atlantic current temperature would become so low that rains wouldn’t fall for centuries. Food became scarce, fighting for survival began, and empires couldn’t recover.

The United States of America in 2020 had become energy independent and an exporter of oil to other countries, had businesses with goods to meet the needs of American consumers by stable transportation, and had been enjoying the most robust economy in American history… until Covid-19 became our volcano. Government policies quickly took our economy down more when it halted our main export that made us become dependent again within two years, but Covid-19 had an even steadier descent factor. American liberties were sacrificed to try to save lives since people wanted to live and help others live too. We didn’t realize that personal rights and American resources were being taken away as much since deaths from the worldwide pandemic made living become more important than freedoms that weren’t gone yet.

In the United States of America in 2022, we’re seeing our own country in a 27% drought in July with wheat crops failing and the Hoover Dam losing 158 feet of water as dangerously low! Gas prices are extremely high due to the policies that stopped us from being energy independent with our gas production that had been steady. Our transportation chain has slowed and is causing shortages, and if more crops fail then we’ll see even more increases to costs of main foods that will hurt middle and lower income Americans. Russia war with Ukraine might have caused some of our problems, but leaders have been spending OUR money and giving away OUR oil! Is America NOW Akkad in 2022 CE? Our leaders seem just as unaware of the drastic consequences from their actions as the Akkad leaders were unaware back in 2334 B.C.E.!

Guiana, Shri Lanka, and the Netherlands went ‘green’, gave up ‘farming’, and began starving. In 2018, France had riots when they tried to do the same thing. With these developments the world seems against “Modern Civilization”. If you read Hourly History book MESOPOTAMIAN HISTORY: SUMERIANS, HITTITES, AKKADIAN EMPIRE, ASSYRIAN EMPIRE, BABYLON then you’d know the ancients discovered ways to do things 4100 years earlier than people in 1400 CE England who didn’t. Records about Mesopotamian empires weren’t even found until “Cuneiform” tablets in the19th century and were translated. We now know that the empires kept homes warm, waste away from the homes and water sources, and farming plentiful to the point they exported food… until a volcano and a drought.

While I agree with intelligent and responsible conservation of this planet, some things being forced on the world in 2022 as the ONLY ways to keep ‘climate change’ from happening are more ignorant than the ways that the medieval society had in their time – Bubonic Plague, people! Proper water temperatures ARE needed for RAIN to produce FOOD, and long times of DROUGHT makes that impossible like it did with Mesopotamia about 6122 years ago. So WHY let a non-democratic foreign country buy OUR farmland near air force bases? We have a drought in 2022 for our farmers to deal with already! We risk NEVER being independent from countries that want to take freedoms we have left to then try to RULE OR STARVE us. Is this what the American people want because we are too afraid to say, “NO!” to China?

You can call me whatever horrid name you want, but I have read FACTS to PROVE what I take my time to write. Is it possible I accepted another person’s findings that seemed verified but have been refuted since? It’s possible, but I do have eyes, ears, and a functioning intellect to help me to decide what I choose to stand with when others only have blank concepts that make NO SENSE, emotional platitudes that PROVE NOTHING, and loud voices that only have those two things that are without REAL substance for any intelligent person to accept it. I READ A LOT. I read 113 books in 2020, 93 books in 2021, and 51 books to date in 2022. I don’t take anyone’s opinion before doing my own research of a subject, compare content to known facts, and accept what is rooted in REALITY. I’m not perfect, but I do try to be verifiable.

IF the drought taking place in America this summer lasts for more than a couple years and is said to be caused by ‘climate change’ then I’ll check on weather cycles to see if they explain how weather cycles were responsible instead. IF it was ‘climate change’ as claimed would cause it in our time then I’ll admit it, but I know we wouldn’t last more than a few years let alone hundreds like Akkadians did 4222 years ago. Considering that solar panels and wind mills CANNOT DO what supporters claimed they would in a national capacity, I won’t hold my breath. Fossil fuels (Natural Gas, Coal, and Oil) ALL are used for electricity NEEDED for Windmills AND Solar Panels to work. If we stop using Fossil Fuels we will have NO electricity. NO electronics, heating, cooling, or food storage. Mesopotamia did better on 3 out of 4!

The Russian war in Ukraine has been a current crisis, but now China is trying to secure Taiwan and tried to stop our Speaker of the House from visiting by actually giving a death threat if she did. America’s government isn’t trying to protect our national borders, farming land, energy sources, or even the prosperity of the American people coming out of the pandemic. Instead they are causing a present recession and passing a bill that will steal money from the middle and lower income Americans with tax increases for many years to pay for ideological projects that will weaken this country even more. With the drought already pointing towards hard times for regular people when it comes to just feeding their families, you would think our leaders would try to SECURE what AMERICANS need to survive. They refuse to do it.

If we’d all take a serious look at the historical and archaeological reasons and outcomes of what happened to the Akkadians in 2200 B.C. then we’d be able to see a correlation and try to CHANGE COURSE for America in 2022 A.D. Leaders need to STOP doing the things that make NO sense and makes America WEAKER with their failing policies and impossible allocations of this country’s resources without America’s best interest at all. Leaders need to STOP letting us become dependent on foreign products and resources. Americans needs to create them LOCALLY so we can take care of each other! If not, Americans will suffer a lack of food, medicine, heat, and electronic components used daily. Is that the kind of life any American wants? Are we going to let unaware or uncaring leaders destroy American lives this way now?

I don’t know if the House can stop the horrendous bill going through, but if it passes then our freedoms, those in the middle and lower incomes especially, will be harmed. I’m debt-free, but I have family who can barely afford food or living essentials, and they work now or have worked and retired. If you want to drink the free Kool-Aid some politicians are handing out from both sides, then be my guest. I won’t drink anything they hand to me. Politics are a poison. I hate it and the people who serve as high-priests or priestesses to their ideological religion KILL. “FREEDOM!” is my cry, and I don’t mean chaos that disrespects this country’s laws. I mean JUSTICE by our Constitution with Law and Order for the people by the people; FOR EVERY COLOR, GENDER, OCCUPATION, FAITH, AND SOCIAL STRATA!

ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! That is something I STILL BELIEVE exists in 2022. We just have a bunch of Akkadian-minded leaders who can’t see a volcano or drought bearing down on America in 2022. I SEE THEM! Can’t you? I really want to think that most people in America have at least a BIT of common sense. I’m hoping ALL of you that do will prove it in the upcoming election. Our leaders are not seeing what common people are very clearly, so we could actually think they are technically completely BLIND. I don’t want to be like Akkad. There is a possibility as a Christian that I MIGHT be gone BEFORE these mid-term elections. If not, then I’ll “Sound the alarm!” before that volcano or drought overtakes America completely. I promise to try!

“War in Ukraine Now and Rumor of War in Taiwan Maybe Soon” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©03/03/2022

Whether Russia, China, or any other country against the Democratic Republic form of government that WORKS, despots will always choose their targets and wait until the best possible time to deploy forces and attack with all weapons deemed necessary to gain a victory. What is happening in Ukraine has shaken people here in the United States of America since there are few who went through wars like World War II when Hitler bombed England the way Putin is Ukraine now. My ninety year old mother remembers, and this angers her since my father fought in that war and his brother died serving, so this is PERSONAL since our government doesn’t have an FDR in our ranks to get us and the world through this now. I wasn’t alive during World War II, but I was given factual history when in school and understand the situation now.

Russia is still a NUCLEAR Adversary. Why in the world are we buying ANY energy from them? Claiming it’s because we need to fight ‘global warming’ or support the ‘green new deal’ is absolute HOGWASH! We ALL need to get our heads back in the present world of REALITY! I believe in helping other countries, and I have no problem working an energy deal with Europe to help them, but this ‘globalist’ mindset that some politicians, regardless of their party label is a slap in the face of ANY service man or woman who has fought, bled, or died for our country in the wars of our history. I take it very personally too when our own government BETRAYS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE for Political Gains! This isn’t okay in this dimension or any alternate! Last time I checked America was FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE!

Oh, that’s right… we’re no longer allowed to think for ourselves! Yep, we are supposed to believe anything that anyone in power tells us and just go along like good little boys and girls! WE THE PEOPLE are now seen as being dumb enough to need any message to be dumbed-down so we, the dimwitted who actually LOVE AND WANT FREEDOM will see how smart those in charge really are and how we have no right to say anything against them. Censorship is paramount to the safety of the masses, right? Not a single person can give their view if it isn’t along lines with those in power! Lively debate? Oh, no! That would hurt the little feelings of the brain-washed! How could they fight their programming if they EVER SAW REALITY? My goodness gracious that is just TOO BARBARIC TO CONSIDER! Yeah… right…

That last paragraph is meant to be completely satiric – a type of writing where you say or type the exact opposite of what is really happening or meant by the person saying or writing it. It USED to be used in comedy ALL THE TIME! Now? It can’t be considered even possible without getting slammed by those who don’t even have enough humor in their pinky finger! I’m a Christian, so I don’t like excessive graphic language, but I used to watch Saturday Night Live with the comedians that had their own programs too that were NOT really okay for a teenager, but I still found humor in some of their material even if I didn’t approve of some of the language. Sometimes reality isn’t clean. Sometimes people speak in rough language that still holds truth in it. THAT is WHY we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Not to agree but express.

While I’m praying Spiritual-Warfare type of prayers, I’m also hoping for some tactical group in a better place of safety from Russia will be able to react in time to help the Ukraine people in a stealthy way and better than we have been able to so far. Ukrainians are fighting for their lives and homes. They are fighting for their families and freedoms. They are fighting for their way of life and government. Sometimes I feel like Americans have been fighting since the Covid-19 pandemic took so much from us and gave nothing but pain and captivity in its wake. 2020 and 2021 were both TAKEN FROM US! I can’t express in words enough for those reading to understand the depth of my anger, frustration, loss, and absolute derision with how things were handled on all fronts. I WANT MY FREEDOM IN AMERICA NOW TOO!

How does this Ukraine incursion fit into the Last Days in Christian prophecies from the Holy Bible? It might only be a fulfillment of the ‘wars and rumors of wars’ given. Then again, it might be the beginning of the way the people of the world come together in times of distress when they feel something isn’t right. Unfortunately, it could also be what is used by the anti-Christ behind the scenes before Christians are taken away for safety before he the man of perdition is given his place in some government. At 11:55 pm on 03/02/2022 news reported there is a power outage now in Taiwan. This might be a coincidence with how things are panning out in Ukraine right now as warships are coming by the Black Sea to try to take Odesa sometime today 03/03/2022. Either way, Taiwan might be in that ‘Later’ mentioned in this post but ‘Now’.

These things must happen according to Christian scriptures concerning the Rapture of Christian believers, but I’m still praying that things will fall apart for the dictators, work out for the people in Ukraine and Taiwan trying to hold onto their freedom, and for all Christians who desperately need to WAKE UP to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ while there is still time! This is OUR responsibility that Jesus Christ CALLED EACH OF US TO DO before He returned to Heaven so the Holy Spirit could be sent to be our Comforter and show gifts to reach the world with the reality of God Almighty that isn’t just a religion. In 2022, we need the Almighty Power of God through His Holy Spirit for people to SEE HIM to then KNOW HIM PERSONALLY! HE knows you no matter where you are right now 03/03/2022. HE REALLY DOES!

Call on Jesus Christ to forgive you from your inherent sins from birth through the tainted bloodline of Adam that Him will exchange while giving you a spiritual blood transfer that He completed on Calvary’s Cross. We still have to deal with sin in these mortal bodies, but the more we pray, read the Holy Bible, and reach out to others then the better it will be for us to learn the amazing but sometimes challenging life He has for YOU. Please pray, “God Almighty of Creation, I do come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe He is the only Son of God that came to die in my place for my sins that I didn’t even know about completely. Forgive me, let Your Holy Spirit reconnect my spirit to God Almighty again, and I ask for the transformation of my heart and mind as I praise You for accepting me. In the name of Jesus Christ… Amen!”

No matter where you are, if you prayed that prayer and believe in your heart then YOU ARE SAVED! No matter what happens to you in the physical realm of this world, your soul now belongs to God Almighty of Creation again! Give praise and glory to God for His Love! None of us deserve His Grace or Mercy, but He gives it to WHOSOEVER WILL! If you have, then you are now ONE OF THOSE! I will be praying for you and hoping you find your way to wherever you need to be for Him to give you a new life. You can find a digital Holy Bible on www.blueletterbible.org and choose your version to read. I suggest the New King James, but the New NIV is good too. Whatever can give you understanding for your new life in Jesus Christ is what you should read. I Pray Jesus Blesses You and Keeps You Safe in HIM! ~TK~

“When I was a Child I thought like a Child… I was Colorblind AND Patriotic!” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©02/17/2022

I began learning to sing when I was about four or five years old at home with my mother as we listened to Christian and even some popular secular music like Elvis that we would sing together to while my father was at the Dayton Mall in Centerville, Ohio every Saturday. We watched movies. We watched news. We watched programs of drama, romance, action, and even mysteries. That I was born September 1st in 1972 is something that I’ll be thankful happened for as long as I’m in this world. I believed the United States of America was the best and most loving of all countries with freedoms that we’d never lose in my lifetime. I still believed all of those until 2020. I’ve posted many spiritual warnings in my Op-Ed’s to try to get the reality of what we are facing and WHY it is so important to know.

I’m a born-again Spirit-filled Christian believer, but I am not a religious fanatic or political activist; I vote my faith. I vote my personal convictions. I vote for my voice to be heard in government by the people I choose to support. ALL of that indicates a Constitutional Democratic Republic upheld by laws agreed upon FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. NOT Totalitarian. NOT Dictatorship. NOT Oligarchy. NOT Socialist. NOT Communist. There are enough types of those governments around the world in present day, and they have been noted in documented history to show NONE of them from before have ever been as FREE as the United States of America. EVERY people over time have practiced slavery over other people not of their race or creed. That doesn’t excuse it, but every group is guilty of it.

I don’t judge by color; I acknowledge by character. I don’t choose friends by religion; I have friends of almost all different ones while I hope to show the love of Christ while still respecting their choices even if my heart breaks as I pray for them. I still believe that the United States of America IS the most FREE when compared to the rest of the world now; I simply don’t trust most of the leaders in power in 2022 AT ALL. I’m not a conspiracy theorist; I’m being honest. I’m not a partisan; both parties have bad apples trying to destroy all that I love about MY COUNTRY. I was born here. My father fought and bled in World War II and my uncle died in it. I’m a law-abiding American citizen who loves the Declaration of Independence, Francis Scott Keyes’ National Anthem, 50-State American flag, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

When I was a child I believed that as an American it was my job as a student to learn all I could about our history to become a productive adult who would understand how our freedom was fought for and how we keep the people free by not allowing leaders to take over illegally and without the approval of the legal citizens. This is COMMON SENSE. It is NOT some religious, political, or extremist viewpoint; this is the AMERICAN viewpoint and has been before I was born. I haven’t been brain-washed in school like some in the latter generations have been or at least were subjects for them to be through propaganda instead of actual LEARNING THE DOCUMENTED FACTS. I’ve seen what some in the Millennials group were being taught with my own eyes, and I would bet my bottom dollar it is getting much worse in 2022 now.

I was given scholarships and grants for my 4.3 GPA and ACT/SAT scores to go to college. I’ve told some of this before, but this is a VERY IMPORTANT FACT. I was in college after I graduated 4th in my Northridge High School class of 1990 in Dayton, Ohio. I was taking Computer Science as my major and Teaching as my minor. I was going to code in more than ‘Basic’ and teach History in Middle or High School. I got sick, missed too many classes, and withdrew. I went to work and then got my Webpage Development Certificate at Edison State Community College in 1999 that I still use to this day. I’m PRO-EDUCATION; I’m ANTI-PROPOGANDA. I’ve SEEN class homework since I graduated and tried to help my niece then her children that are my great-nieces and great-nephew; their classes barely had ANY FACTS.

I’m a Christian who supports historical humanities even if they aren’t seen as seemly by some in various Christian communities, but just like Freedom of Speech is supposed to protect my right to proclaim my faith and beliefs without any fear then it also applies to those I don’t agree with so we all have an open right to disagree without aggression or violence. I’m PRO-SCIENCE if that Science is PROVEN and DOCUMENTED; I’m very emotional about many things, but I don’t say that what I feel is FACT because my feelings are NOT Objective, and yet Science is supposed to be PROVEN FACT. I took Chemistry in High School, but I still learned basic biology and chromosome absolutes. I also know that there has NEVER been a racist mathematical equation unless it was a word problem a racist teacher created – MATH IS PURE!

What is my point with all of these examples? I WANT PROVEN EDUCATION! I was going to be teaching kids at one point, but in 2022 I’m actually THANKFUL I DIDN’T become a teacher. I NEVER could have let a teacher union force me to teach LIES to the children in my care or lose my career at their discretion to make my education cost me more than the money wasted if that had happened. I would have QUIT before betraying my compass of right and wrong as well as what would have actually been ILLEGAL according to laws at MY TIME in school. I know many teachers who taught and inspired me would have felt the same way and would have REFUSED to teach LIES if they’d faced it. I still applaud any teacher today who IS standing up for the FACTS and refusing to tell LIES to their students in 2022!

Even though I didn’t get to teach History classes in schools, I at least was able to be a Sunday School, Children’s Church, and Vacation Bible School teacher over the last 37 years. What I taught any of those kids over the years all have Documented secular history from many countries as well as Documented first-person writings other than the Holy Bible, and NONE of them could be refuted unequivocally over the course of thousands of years so far. Some might try now, but I hope any parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, or great-aunt/great-uncle will stand up for FACTS and FAITH against the lies being forced upon those in school and even in some churches. Whether you agree with my points-of-view or any or all of my teachings, for the love of everything factual, PLEASE PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM THE LIES NOW!

I might have some ‘out of this world’ ideas about Christianity and Historical records that I write about currently, but what is happening in schools is too important to let doctrinal disagreements keep us from addressing this by standing against their attempts to indoctrinate (brain-wash) children against our country and our way of life to protect FREEDOM. As a Christian I don’t want to see more violence like we witnessed in the 2021 riots. I will defend myself and those I love if someone attacks, but I want for people to try to LEGALLY change policies, schools, or churches. If they won’t then it might mean changing physical locations to where those policies are not being taught. I have great-great nieces in school and great-great nephews who will be in a couple more years, so this is something I’m praying about now more often.

I’ve been trying to share this information with their parents and all of those who read this so all of you can keep watch to protect those innocent children from being targeted. In the countries that the United States has been to war with before I was even born, the policies, practices, and propaganda have been used to take the children during that time away from the influence of their parents to get them to become wards of that government. DON’T YOU SEE THAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE USA? I’m not talking about one political party over another one either; I’m talking about being wary of ANY GROUP trying to make you relinquish your children’s minds to their teaching without your consent or specific knowledge of lessons being given. During this pandemic some parents finally saw some of what I’m talking about.

I research any topic I write or talk about before I even consider posting my opinion. I don’t have a degree in any subject except webpage development. I READ. I LISTEN. I WATCH. I TAKE NOTES. I COMPARE. THEN I WRITE. That is still part of the Scientific Method that I read about when in school, but now? I don’t know if they ever get beyond being indoctrinated and brain-washed to become little mouth-pieces for their education controller. Like I stated before, I commend the teachers who refuse to be that, so this is not meant to be toward you personally. For those teachers who are doing that or even worse now I have a word of unsolicited advice – STOP. Before you damage even one more precious child, STOP. Before you tell even one more lie, STOP. Parents – Reclaim your children peacefully and walk away.

Fairfax County, Virginia and even San Francisco, California have shown they are standing up for the freedom of their children against mandated masks and class content that is not proper education according to their views. I don’t have a problem with books being available to ADULTS under any subject matter due to the Freedom of Speech each American ADULT has the right to claim. Teachers giving lessons on subjects to students of my time (1975-1990) would have been FIRED for teaching it then, but they have been teaching it in 2022 until parents saw the reality of anti-American and what would have been called Pro-Racist teaching too that would have had teachers FIRED before! We need to teach these dark pasts of our country to learn how to NOT repeat it, but in 2022 some are now teaching students HOW to repeat it worse.

When I was a child I thought like a child. Please don’t let anyone else rob your children from that joy I still have in my memory of almost 50 years now. None of us are getting any younger in body, but we can keep one small part of our innocence as adults when we try to NOT let the children learn things they shouldn’t yet. They DO need to learn that OUR FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE. My father taught me that when he spoke about World War II, but he didn’t talk about that often since his brother was hit by a sniper in the Philippines and died. Dad was sent home early because of that death. HIS FREEDOM cost his brother’s life. Who do you know who died for yours in addition to Jesus Christ? I won’t meet them in this world now, but one day I might, and I truly hope that I’ve proven to all of them that MY FREEDOM was worth it all!

“Is The America I’ve Known Completely Gone Now?” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/29/2021

Abandoning our embassy, intelligence, weapons, and citizens in Afghanistan is the greatest defeat this country has ever faced in my lifetime of almost forty-nine years. I’m sure that those still living who are even older than I am are feeling the same way I do – enraged from being deceived and betrayed by our leaders. Our people in Afghanistan are in the middle of being left due to the worst military plan in our history that could lead to another situation like 1979 with more hostages. THAT is detrimental with how many American citizens and Afghan allies will all lose their lives!

I was only seven years old in 1979, so I didn’t completely understand what was happening back then. As I grew up learning history and became an adult, I watched policy mistakes made by different presidents at various times, but this seems like an actual calculated blow to every single American who has had anyone from their family serve this county in the military in any capacity! How can Americans sit in our safe homes, watch the news reporting these atrocities, and not react with anger, frustration, heartbreak, and absolute horror? Have we ALL lost perspective of what Freedom costs?

The fact that our government is FAILING to get OUR PEOPLE out, but INDIVIDUALS and GROUPS are now working to rescue people in ways that are sometimes being BLOCKED by OUR OWN agencies! Do our agencies work for the Taliban now? While I understand diplomacy is always a slippery slope of concessions, the way I’ve understood it for all of my learned years, WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS! Did our government officials miss day of class it was taught in a government college course? Or did the long-held policy just get lost in self-interest paperwork?

We NEED the A-Team! We NEED a team of LETHAL WEAPON Riggs’! We NEED a RED team who knows HOW to get IN, get OUR people, and get OUT with the attitude of a BLUE LOTUS! AMERICA WAS A COUNTRY OF ACTION FOR FREEDOM! Yes, the characters listed are fictional, but they were based on REALITY of what AMERICA USED to be able TO DO! I don’t want endless wars either and was for leaving Afghanistan, but THIS IS NOT how that SHOULD have been DONE! Do we need to cue the song, “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” to get people moving?

My father would have been 108 this year, and if he was still living he’d be ticked as blazes over our service men and women even possibly being left behind without military making plans that actually made sense! He fought in WWII and lost his brother in it to a sniper, but it had NEVER been fought to end in this situation with Afghanistan now. Didn’t ANY of us LEARN from HISTORY? Oh, yeah, that’s right! Teachers don’t teach REAL HISTORY anymore. Most just teach approved indoctrination of NEVER thinking for your own self as an INDIVIDUAL! Yeah… that explains it all.

There are themes that I keep bringing up in my writing, and I apologize if I focus on certain ones too often, BUT some need to be repeated ad nauseam since more than one generation DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT THEM! Most Schools aren’t teaching them. Most people of any age aren’t reading books about them. News channels would rather tell their lies instead of even mentioning the TRUTH. If you don’t read on your OWN then you’ll NEVER know anything to explain WHY this evacuation from Afghanistan NEVER should have happened like it has. WE LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND!

I’m absolutely ASHAMED of what those in so-called charge are allowing to happen to OUR OWN! I agree with taking out all those that helped us for the last twenty years, but OUR PEOPLE SHOULD BE FIRST PRIORITY! I don’t have any kind of war degree, but come on! Even I have enough common sense to see what the actual events needed to be done before this idiocy had been allowed to happen: 1.) Destroy ALL paperwork so NO enemy gets any tactical date; 2.) Evacuate EVERY single AMERICAN; 3.) Destroy ALL armaments enemies could use; 4.) Withdraw OUR military!

IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! This is LOGIC. Apparently, NO ONE in power has that! God Almighty, help us, because those in power won’t help anyone but themselves. They are trying to overpower our Democracy to turn America into a socialistic country. WE CAN’T LET THEM! EVERY AMERICAN needs to stand up and SCREAM, “NO! This is NOT right!” FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE needs to not allow TYRANTS to take over! They are ALL trying to do THAT. How can you trust leadership willing to LEAVE OUR PEOPLE BEHIND? WE CAN’T! Help STOP it!

Some of our Patriots have taken their own steps to get OUR PEOPLE out. We might have even more doing it right now without public knowledge or even government involvement. I’m okay with that since the less that any of the powers that be know right now is a GOOD THING. We can’t trust most of the military big-wigs we’ve been seeing to actually DO anything since it’s become political theater. Clandestine operations like those portrayed in RED would probably BE the best solution, especially since they would not be in the pockets of politicians. GET THE PIG!

While I completely understand that movies are NOT what you base actual military strategies on, I still think that our veterans see themselves as embodying most of those personalities in real life. Current military for the most part must think they do too or they wouldn’t be doing their jobs right now. America leadership needs to get their proverbial heads out of their behinds and DO THEIR JOBS TOO! As a military daughter I REFUSE to accept leaving even 1 of our own people behind due to incompetence! THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! Get them OUT… or ELSE.

What is ‘ELSE’? I hope it will be proper voting to express our viewpoints of how the Unites States of America needs to NOT be changed into the United Totalitarian States. Socialism or Communism isn’t acceptable EITHER. The ‘ELSE’ might come to actually physical force before we get the point across to the chaos-minded tyrants. I don’t want another Civil War, but I’m willing to die before I let the regimes that my father and uncle fought against in WWII take over MY AMERICA. Let’s try peaceful by contacting our officials and speaking out, but if that fails… then ELSE.

AMERICA NEEDS TO BRING OUR PEOPLE IN AFGHANISTAN HOME! This should have been begun in April or May, but since it wasn’t then we need to begin a strategic locating/securing/extracting mission for ALL those in Afghanistan that needs rescued. The excuse of theme not ‘registering’ makes me want to beat the crap out of those that have the gall to even say that. DOD should KNOW who is there and STILL needs EVACUATED. Terrorist excuses go only so far when we have 13 dead from the attack. Citizens, Afghans, Military OUT, then blow up left behind stuff!

When “How Can I Not” Becomes “Why Should I” – Part 3

By Tonja Condray Klein©03/11/2021

First of all, I’d like to make it perfectly clear that every opinion of action is not only towards all others who claim to be Christians but also to me. I read the Bible study by Anne Graham Lotz in the DECISIONS magazine from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association March 2021 and was humbled as I read the scriptures she noted, saw the true beauty of the meaning to the Church of Jesus Christ, and wept as I repented of the times I had failed my Lord and Savior. THIS is how Revival truly begins. Judgement begins at the House of God! We need to listen to the Bible and the Holy Spirit.

It must have been increasingly depressing for those in captivity in the times of Daniel, Nehemiah, and Jeremiah in their land of Israel. How could they even think about speaking the words the Lord gave to them when their very lives were at risk? Yet they did. Over the course of history in this world, people of Judeo-Christian Faiths have had to do the same in the time of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and Tao. Now in 2021 America, we might come to the point we will have to stand in the midst of possible punishment if we hold true to what the Torah and Holy Bible says we have to speak as being truth.

Americans have enjoyed Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly, and Freedom of Religion since its creation. I personally have never had to fear sharing what I know the Holy Bible says about any subject in discussion, but now? This might no longer be allowed by American citizens even in discussion if views are opposite those of special interest groups that will be ‘protected’ from anything they view as ‘hate speech’. Opposing views that don’t use degrading metaphors or titles should NEVER be tagged as ‘hate speech’. Freedom of Speech protects speech we don’t agree with for a reason.

If we lose the ability to discuss, debate, and agree to disagree while still allowing people to express their views as safe personally then our country WILL NO LONGER BE FREE. This should not only upset those of faith or any religious belief but also those of different backgrounds and groups that want the right to open representation. “No taxation without representation” was the cry of patriots before the American Revolution. Why should we be forced to not speak what we believe is truth because someone else doesn’t agree? We EACH should have our voices be heard and openly allowed!

“How can I not?” is my cry in 2021. We have so many in groups that call themselves churches that live by ‘Why should I?” since it is convenient to not give friction between others who might not agree with them. John the Baptist was a non-conforming individualist who prepared the way for Jesus Christ to then stand against the religious groups in His time for the TRUTH that HE IS. Christians need to understand that we are not called to be silent. Jesus made a point that if the ones praising Him were silenced then the very rocks would cry out. I WON’T LET A ROCK TAKE MY PLACE!

One of the latest bills that has already passed in the House of Representatives recently and still needs to pass in the Senate would be very negative to those who have conservative views by actually making it illegal to express those viewpoints. THIS is DANGEROUS to our FREEDOM. I might not be able to even post links to my personal op-eds on social media sites like I do now if this happens. While some wouldn’t care about it happening to me, how would YOU feel if something YOU believe in was on that list of things no longer allowed to even be spoken about publically?

This seems Orwellian, right? Welcome to 2021 in America! If ever Christians began to pray against these things, speak out to our leaders, and come together as a united front then IT IS NOW. How can we allow our own freedom-loving Democratic Republic to turn into the land of the bound and home of the repressed? WE CAN’T. Freedom of Speech needs to remain protected for ALL AMERICANS! That has been one of our pillars of society since 1776. Even a historical date is being hit with the freight train of biased lies. Students are no longer being taught documented facts of history.

I’ve mentioned my disregard for present-day teaching mandates, and I will continue to do so for as long as I have rights, but I don’t do it because I disdain education. I was going to college with Teaching as my Minor! I had the grades in high school to get grants and scholarships to go for a Major in Computer Science and a Minor in Teaching if I hadn’t been ill and had to withdraw. Education in important, but only if facts are represented in curriculum. I have read different grade homework that my great-nieces would get me to help them with, and I knew the facts I’d learned were replaced with lies.

I’ve also mentioned the non-fiction novel LIVE NOT BY LIES: A MANUAL FOR CHRISTIAN DISSIDENTS by Rod Dreher. If you are as concerned for America in 2021 as I am, I suggest you get this novel and read it for not only historical facts all over the world but also the parallels we need to be aware of with what is happening in our country. I’m actually angry. My father fought and bled in World War II, and his brother died in combat that had my father being sent home. The changes happening now are not only a slap to every single veteran then and now but to military families too.

I don’t want socialism. I don’t want communism. I don’t want an oligarchy. I don’t want an authoritarian state. I WANT THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC MY UNCLE DIED FOR AND MY FATHER FOUGHT TO KEEP! I won’t sit by and stay silent anymore just to ‘get along’. The Facts are the Facts. Our way of government has been the envy of others in this world for generations. IT WORKS. The only time it doesn’t is when egomaniacs in government try to take control over WE THE PEOPLE, and THAT doesn’t work for long. Americans have always been FREE-thinkers.

Why has this ‘free-thinking’ suddenly deteriorated? Brainwashing students from grammar school through college with non-factual classes, forcing workers to be re-educated at work on non-work subjects, and constant media coverage of every single possible social stance that goes against every single spiritual leaning of mankind – yes, that would do it. It’s been going on for YEARS behind the curtain, but it’s now being thrust front and center in our own living rooms. Hey, if we want free stuff with free money and free time from not working to do whatever we want then NO free-thinking!

There are quite a few really BAD words that I’d like to use right now – FREE SPEECH, LEGAL GUNS, OPEN FAITH, PAYING JOBS, PERSONAL HEALTHCARE, ATOMIC FAMILY, and BIBLICAL MARRIAGE. Oooh… REALLY BAD WORDS! At least they are for those currently trying to destroy our country. While a couple of those are terms used during my Generation-X or earlier, if you have read, listened, or watched conservative news then you’ll know each of them by now. The point is that we NEED to realize what is happening and what is at stake NOW.

Blow ye trumpet in Zion! Sound the alarm in thy holy mountain! As Christians we should be spiritual Watchers on the Wall of our country the way those in the Old Testament were physically for Israel. I’m not trying to incite panic or a need for fear, but we do need to be MINDFUL of reality within the confines of Biblical prophetic possibilities. America has kept other forms of government from overtaking us for decades, and it’s up to US of legal age and citizenship to make sure we do everything legal to oppose what leaders are trying to do to our country in 2021 to deny Americans our rights.

What can we do? PRAY. Intercessors for America (IFA) is a great source and meeting media for Christians to pray together digitally online or on the phone first Friday of the month, Tuesdays and Thursdays too right now. VOTE. Even though they are trying to pass bills that will make your vote no longer count, do it while you still can. SHARE. No matter what way you use to spread the Gospel and love of Jesus Christ, do it while you can with the understanding that time is of the essence like never before in this country. We need the ELIJAH of each generation to STAND now. ~TK~

GLAD TIDINGS WITH MIXED SIGNALS – PART 1 (Op-Ed 01-18-21)

I’m supposed to be writing my third Eirinth Fantasy Novel, but right now I’m distressed at seeing the possible end to a couple of my freedoms soon, and I feel helpless to do anything about it. As a born-again Spirit-filled believer in Jesus Christ as Savior, I’m also seeing the possibility that book 3 can’t be published because of that loss of freedom and the fact that as a Christian I might be translated from here at any time. While I think this could happen during the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah, it could happen as soon as the last person in the current church age accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior.

The Christian happening of the Rapture or ‘calling away’ has been dismissed, debated, and fought over probably since Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven. I’m not going to argue with someone who disagrees with me over whether it will happen BEFORE the Great Tribulation (Pre-Trib), DURING (Mid-Trib), AFTER (Post-Trib), or NO Tribulation (called A-Millennial). I’m a Pre-Tribber myself just to make my stance perfectly clear. While I understand reasons for the other stances, I don’t agree with their layout of the scriptures or reasons for their interpretations of them.

Could I be wrong? Stranger things have happened, but probably not with this. Why? The accepted explanation in the churches that believe this is that the anti-Christ can’t take over until the Holy Spirit in the Christ believers has left this dimension. The Christian Bible book of Revelation has the ‘churches’ listed until John is ‘called up’ in Chapter 4, which is seen as a preview of the church. No ‘church’ is mentioned again until Jesus Christ returns for Armageddon, and then a New Jerusalem descends from Heaven near the end of Revelation. This isn’t an illusion or fiction story. It’s the future.

Yay! Bring out the balloons, party poppers, food galore, and lots of beautiful clothes to celebrate! Wait… not so fast. The Christian Bible also tells in the Gospel and Apostle Books that in ‘the end times’ that “dangerous times” will be here. Oh. That seems rather ominous. Yes, it is. As things change for America in 2021, things will probably get as bad as those of us in my generation of Gen-Xers have ever seen. Then again, it’s my generation that’s just now getting to the age where we are no longer that important to the majority of any group in our country. It’s pretty sad and very frustrating.

Most of us are grandparents now. I’m not, but my brother’s oldest daughter is, making me be a great-great aunt. In other words, Gen-X is OLD NOW. My best friend from high school is a grandma too. While I deal with my allergies and Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS), I don’t actually feel OLD. Do I feel sickly more often than I used to? Yes. Do I feel OLD? No! I published my second Fantasy novel and have five more named. I was getting ready to begin Book 3, SEEKING THE LIGHT, but I’m concerned that what I should be writing is more of this right now while I can.

The tightening of control over media outlets has already begun. I might not have my pages on Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, or even Live Journal at some point. I might lose my two websites that I post most content on all the time too. This is really BAD for more conservative-minded individuals. It is ALSO a complete misuse of power. This is NOT to cause anything with violence or demeaning of other individuals. This is to inform my fellow believers and those not yet believers of what is coming down the turnpike soon. I’m used to being FREE! This will be completely unacceptable!

Once total control happens then I don’t know how I will be able to keep in contact with people I know, family that are in different areas of the USA, or even the people around the world who listen to my music or read my books. THIS IS NOT OKAY. As it was for so many during the pandemic interfering with their interaction, this may begin interfering with my creative passion. Now if the powers that be try to quell me and then think they can make me follow their rules for the sake of rules, think again. They might end up with one of the Robert Wallaces of the 21st Century… FREEDOM!

I am very well aware that Wallace DIED for his freedom. I really don’t want to have to die, but if what they ask of me goes against my moral conscience or personal beliefs then I might have to at that point. I’m not going to be violent and will be as legal in my actions as I can for as long as I can. I just know that Americans will only let people abuse their trust and sensibilities to a certain point. I’m praying that government, media, and companies that are warning us that we won’t be as free as we were before will THINK before they DO anything against our country’s GIVEN RIGHTS to the people.

All of us who use multi-media to keep in touch with those we know and love might want to find other ways to do that beyond what media moguls allow. Old school ways to communicate might need to be re-learned. I’m a real webpage designer for private business so this hurts me to my core, but those days might come to an end as far as my right to write and post my opinions. This makes me angry. If I wasn’t a Christian it would make me react worse, and I have to rein in my emotions now still. I’m livid, and I can’t ignore it, but I can try my best to calm my actions from my reactions to it.

So what does all of this mean? I’m not really sure. In eschatological terms the Christians might be leaving sooner than expected in 2021 or later. In real-time terms the Christians could be leaving sooner than expected too. In world-view terms the Christians better leave sooner than they expected for our sakes. We don’t know exactly WHEN since ‘no man knows the day or the hour’ according to the Christian Bible, but we’re supposed to know the season. Do we? Do you? Many have preached for my almost forty-nine years that the Church would be crying out for Jesus to return. Are we?

IF we no longer have FREEDOM, will we cry out? IF we no longer can see our loved ones at all, will we cry out? IF we no longer can sing songs of praise to our Savior, will we cry out? IF we no longer can get food or medicine, will we cry out? IF we can no longer refuse to get documents in digital format or take vaccines that are questionable, will we cry out? IF we can no longer go between states without having government papers of travel, will we cry out? IF we can no longer work anywhere if a past moment of peaceful Free Speech is noted that we’re tagged with, will we cry out?

What are you willing to allow happen against OUR FREEDOM to make you finally cry out?

“The Attack on Freedom of Speech in 2021”

Op-Ed by Tonja Condray Klein©01/17/21

There was a time in my older sister’s life before I was born when the issue of Freedom of Speech made people rise up against censorship and called those actions illegal according to the First Amendment. It led to varied stances for society, education, and personal liberty, and while it began to protect views against a party in power, it also held for all opposite views to be protected too. Now, certain media outlets are beginning to take accounts away from those with an opposing view to silence them. We must maintain Freedom of Speech for ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS in 2021!

The First Amendment of the United States of America’s Constitution states that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech; or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” It has been understood that this amendment protects American citizens with the right to express views on any issue in open forums, and that the government can’t deprive you of that unless it’s classified and could danger our country’s safety.

There are many ideas, concepts, descriptions, or expletives that I will never support and try to stay away from as much as humanly possible; but I also support the right for those that support one or all of them to express or support any of them as long as not expressly illegal for them to do so since FREEDOM OF SPEECH is for every legal American. Is this troublesome to me at times? Yes. Will I still support this amendment even if I don’t agree with the content used by someone else that has a view opposite of mine? Yes. Why? Right or wrong, this is an important American Freedom!

As long as a person’s freedom doesn’t take away the freedom of another then it is what this country was founded upon in 1776 and upheld for over two hundred-forty-five years; but now different methods of speech are being limited by media outlets claiming the speech goes against stated rules for users. While private companies have that right, if they are working with government agents who DO have to follow the First Amendment, then their users’ First Amendment rights ARE being violated since the company is no longer ‘private’ in the way the other statutes require it to be for protection.

If the company rules are examined and the speech is blocked when it doesn’t obviously violate the rules listed for users, then that makes it become a form of suppression that has been used by other kinds of governments but NOT with a democratic republic such as ours. This is something this country has fought against since its creation. If it’s allowed then it will mean at least half of our country will no longer be allowed to have the same rights as those who will agree with the new political regime that will govern for four years. ALL AMERICANS SHOULD HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

Will this op-ed change the minds of those who have actually been taught false government history that is against our democratic republic? I would say, “Probably not”. Mind-altering programming in education has taken away the rights of children to learn historical FACTS or more than one viewpoint for them to decide if they want history to repeat or not. Some things do have more than one side for a discussion, but others are not only globally true but also universally. Once Freedom of Speech is removed from a major dissenting group then those taking power make slaves out of all the others.

Mankind has always tried to exert personal power over others throughout history, but THIS IS NOT AMERICA! Humanity is flawed, and we have failed often, but our country’s founders tried to make America an example at that time of what FREEDOM should strive to be. While we have had our moments of leaders failing groups of people in the past, 2021 should not put us in any of those positions again! Rights as stated in our Constitution should be legislated as stated and not changed on the whim of a certain group with political bias that defeats our government system as a whole.

As a Protestant Christian I don’t want my faith to be persecuted or for those who share it to be silenced. I have friends who are Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, Islamic, and Wiccan so I want their rights to be protected too. We should all have the right to declare our faith as Free Speech allows, compare differences if agreed upon by those in discussion, and not attack each other physically unless in defense. Any other issue should be peacefully debated by those with differing viewpoints. Generations since mine seem to have lost the ability to do any of this at all, and that’s sad and wrong.

I have two webpages that I am now concerned about losing simply because of my viewpoints, opinions, and faith; this is something I never thought I’d face in my lifetime. I have family and friends who are on the opposite side of politics and religion, but I want their rights to be kept free as much as I want my own to be. THAT is a democratic republic. Now if I’m right about my Christian faith and Jesus Christ returns to rule from Jerusalem after the Great Tribulation, then I’ll embrace HIS Theocracy since it will be by our Creator and my Savior. Until then, a democratic republic is my choice.

Facebook, Linked-In, and even LiveJournal may not allow my opinion editorials to be shared on their platforms, but I’m hoping that they and the website hosts will NOT try to silence differing opinions simply for the sake of power. I don’t seek power but want equal justice for ALL Americans regardless of race, color, creed, religion, or gender. THAT’S the American way I was raised on, and I want to have the FREEDOM to share what I know with whomever I wish if they are willing to read or listen. What they do after that is up to them. I WANT FREEDOM OF SPEECH PROTECTED!

“What Really IS Important Christmas 2020”

By Tonja Condray Klein©12/02/20

I’m working on my song “The Colors of Christmas” and the lyrics reminded me of WHY it’s important to take time to celebrate as a Christian believer this time of year. I love the Santa movies in live action or old cartoon style. I love Rudolf who will always be my favorite reindeer. I love the mischievous kid movies that remind me of myself even now. I even love the Scrooge movies in all their different decades of production and differences. I love the lights, the songs, the new clothes, and the food at Christmas. All of those things still aren’t the reason why I love Christmas. Then what is it?

Christmas is what makes Easter possible. You can go into the whole ‘rebirth of nature’ aspect if you want, but for me it was the Resurrection of my Savior, and that couldn’t have happened without His birth. Linus from Peanuts says it as simply and truthfully as can be in that beloved movie, and since I still have a blanket I relate to him even more than most. It reminds me that even though the blanket is for comfort for me here on Earth, I have a Savior who sent my Comforter to me for my soul now and eternally. Money, power, or even gifts don’t really matter. My greatest gift of all time is Jesus!

Many don’t believe that He even came, and others deny even the reality of God Almighty, but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord as the Son incarnate who arrived over 2000 years ago as a human baby to later become our Salvation 33 years or so later. It’s not a fantasy or a fable, and not even just a story. There is more historical evidence for the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ than they have for any other life-altering person. I haven’t seen Him like the disciples did, but I have felt His presence by His Holy Spirit too many times to doubt His prophesied purpose.

The star that shined to lead three wise-men who arrived a couple years later, the angels who proclaimed to the shepherds that came, and the animals that watched it all happened as the Holy Bible states. Others can scoff or even get angry, but I see it as the moment humanity was placed on the pathway to restoration! As I celebrate my husband and me surviving Covid-19, and my mother surviving an infection that almost took her life, I can give thanks for that Baby who came to give us all LIFE ETERNAL if we only accept HIS GIFT this holiday season – Faith even a child can believe.

Do I ever doubt? Well, like the character Charlie in the movie about addiction to shoes (one of my favorites, and reminds me of my much older sister!), I also ask, “If you never doubt then why would you need faith?” This is an ongoing learning experience in the Christian life. Jesus likes to show up where and when you sometimes least expect Him – in the grocery line, in the dollar store, or even in a doctor’s office. I know it because I have had it happen. Moments of Grace are around us every single day if we keep our eyes open and our hearts focused. Like in a manger, Jesus Christ shows up!

If ever Christian believers needed to be praying over this holiday season it is NOW. There are a lot of situations in our country and the world that need the loving and changing touch of Jesus Christ to be given in the same way as the time of His birth to bring peace on Earth and good will toward mankind, in spite of our differences. Hearts need to be changed, minds need to be mended, lives need to be healed, and people of every nation need to be restored. The love of Jesus can do it all, but His people need to release His power everywhere by Prayer, Praise, and practical exhibition of Freedom!

Revival is Coming… DO NOT FEAR!

NOT ON MY WATCH…

By Tonja Condray Klein – 11/01/20

As I watch what’s happening in America 2020, I must not keep my voice silent or fingers idle! We’re facing a possibility of seeing the complete totalitarian over-throw of our Founded Constitutional Democracy. WE MUST VOTE OUR FAITH on 11/03/20! Support all of the candidates that stand for protecting our CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS, our GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS, and our ability to use FREEDOM OF SPEECH online or in public! I will NOT be silenced. I will NOT stop sharing views. I will NOT let anyone keep me from utilizing my abilities with the written and spoken words that are all mandatory for my calling as a Singer/Songwriter/Novelist/Blogger in this crucial voting time!

NO ONE should be allowed to take away my rights to share my views, my support, or even my disagreement. WE ALL HAVE RIGHTS! I may not agree with you, but so help me God I have the right to say why online or publicly. YOU TOO! I’m calling on all of those who share my beliefs or at least the foundation of our country to VOTE YOUR FAITH or FREEDOM! Anyone who is for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness should see themselves as ‘Watchmen on the Walls’. This concept is from the Old Testament in the Christian Bible in the days of Israel centuries before our country began. Being a watchman means we MUST NOT let others succeed taking over our country’s political system!

The watchmen have to stand on the wall, watch for invaders trying to infiltrate for purposes of destruction of present government, and fight them with the weapons they had. We must FIGHT WITH OUR VOTE! I don’t want violence, whether social, psychological, or even physical during this election. I want people to THINK about what is important, VOTE for those who will try to keep us safe, and PRAY for those who are against our government’s foundation to have moments of clarity by spiritual means we need to employ immediately. Be KIND to those we meet but protect yourself, stay STEADFAST with your values in spite of hate, and LOVE enemies in the midst of contention.

THIS IS NOT EASY! I have a temper like Mt. Saint Helen, but I will do all I can to utilize my decades of Customer Service skills during this time. I may hand out cards for my two Fantasy novels as witness to someone who desperately needs Christ as well as great stories of action and adventure. We must find ways to distract from the political anger that seems to be seeping into every single group. It isn’t God Almighty’s will that we fail to be His representatives here on Earth until Jesus Christ returns. That may happen sooner than any of us can imagine, but we need to VOTE to keep this county as the Constitutional Democracy that it must remain for as long as we are still here to share the Gospel!

Even if you don’t share my faith I want you to be free to live your life with the FREEDOMS this country founded and has endured since after the Revolutionary War. There is NO country in this world without failures of certain groups in dark times, but the foundations of THIS FREE COUNTRY needs to be upheld and protected by the constituents AT ALL COST. Our flag bleeds red from the many soldiers who have defended it, white for the righteous concept that ALL men and women were created equal, and blue is for vigilance and justice in keeping this country FREE. We must NEVER forget what good we Americans have done over the years, and we must learn from our mistakes. VOTE for that chance!

We have today and two more days before we cast our ballots if you haven’t already. I’m asking all of you, regardless of race, gender, color, creed, or religion to VOTE for those that want to make life in America to be the land of promise and opportunities that the colonists and immigrants saw it as all those years ago. We MUST have law and order. We MUST keep our rights to worship together. We MUST see others get the chance to legally join our nation. These are ALL necessary to keep this nation as a whole fulfilled country that leads the way to prosperity, shines its light of freedom around the world, and lets its countlessly different citizens continue to strive for the future and show how FREEDOM reigns!
