“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
Psalm 119:64 KJV

There is epidemic of suicide occurring in America and especially among they young. There are all sorts of excuses such as drug over usage and homosexual increases, but the real reason is secular atheism is the real reason. This cult worship has led to emptiness in people with nothing to hold onto leading to depression and no reason for living. This is the results of the Social Justice movement and its worship of man’s rules.
The institutions of society were developed for a reason and that was to give people a purpose and a reason for living. The church and God is there to heal people’s hearts and souls and those to be refrained from are to protect people from their own destructive selves.

Due to the cult and its requirement of thought control you cannot talk about sin and the evil men are consumed by, but they exist whether the thought Nazis accept it or not. Homosexuality is not normal and has been proved to be a terrible addiction throughout histoir. Just like drug addiction men become addicted to sex very easily and when you can have no consequence sex with someone as addicted to you then there is no restraint from this addiction.

Women are not as addicted in most cases and understand the physical and mental consequences of having multiple sexual partners as well as extreme amounts of sex.

Studies have found many homosexuals have well over a hundred partners per year which exposes them to massive increased chance of STDs as well as mental issues of lack of caring and closeness as it becomes a drug rather than an act of closeness. These men find that no matter how much the try to fill their emptiness they only become emptier and the cycle of depression begins to spiral out of control.

By not having a governor on an addiction as powerful as sex leads to becoming more and more out of control until the addiction consumes them. Without God and Salvation there becomes a life filled with smoke and ashes becoming more and more empty. This emptiness becomes a larger and larger part of their life with only one way out. The cult mocks anyone who considers Christianity so to attempt to be a good person they become more entrenched rather than search for a way out and the only way out is suicide looking more and more attractive.

This is not to single out homosexuals or condemn them but to give them hope for the hurt they feel from the void in their lives. It is also simply an example of all of the feel good addictions that go with the cult such as the worship of global warming, BLM, Antifa, Social Justice, yoga, vegetarianism and all of the isms that represent the cult of Marxism. They all end up in the same place of emptiness, depression, drug addiction and suicide which is why we are seeing a huge increase in those.

Are we seeing any warnings about this? Of course not we are seeing not only a doubling down of the required adherence, but we are seeing a ramping up of the intensity with the Resistance militancy. To fill that void of emptiness you are supposed to hate more as well as become more and more violent to anyone who disagrees with their religion. This solution only makes you less social and more evil adding to your depression and loneliness.

Marxism is a death cult which is very seductive yet completely destructive. It appears to be a freedom loving religion, but when you are inside it you find it to be enslaving. It forces you to say, think and do only what it wants you to say, think and do. Most of what it wants you to do such as abortion or homosexuality goes against everything common sense tells you to do.

In reality Conservatism and Christianity frees you from all of that mental and physical slavery which opens your mind to true freedom. There is only one way out of the death cult spiral and that is the one step program. Take one step to Jesus and the journey from your personal slavery begins.

Pray for America

• • Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
Watch for poster edie1960 for wise narratives.

Tuesday date—8/28/18


Seems like I might be able to buy my new medicine with the rise in the stock market.

For Mexico and America wrapped a new North American Fair Trade Association, which includes Canada but Canada hasn’t settled as of this writing.


How about this McCain and the Russians?

Yes, I know that man just passed and may he rest in peace. He served his country, no one can take that away from him.

But somebody, somebody pretending to be a Journalist, found an article in the Washington Post that had the McCain campaign, in 2006, chaired by a guy named Ray Davis, partner of Paul Manafort.

Who just got found guilty and sent to jail.

Seems this Ray Davis introduced McCain to some big Russian Oligarch, grand poobah of aluminum or some such.

AND….it would seem instead of attacking every member of the McCain campaign and inserting spies, the FBI did its job and informed McCain about colluding with the Russians.

Seems nobody much cared about it then.


Wednesday date-8/29/19

Let us discuss the raising and lowering of the flag to show bereavement.

I read the rules. Yes, there are rules. Donald Trump did not make the rules.

A President’s death would have the flags flying half mast for a couple of weeks. The VP-half that. Every station in government, elected and/or appointed, is listed, with congress people to have the flag fly at half mast from time of death throughout the entire following day.

But of course we make rules and don’t follow them. President Trump’s administration followed the rules, which he did not write, and gets in trouble.

“We lowered the flag from Ted Kennedy’s death through to his burial.”

Well, of course, congress people are heroes and they get special treatment, even if they left a lady to die at the bottom of a lake or wrecked three military airplanes.

And buildings should NOT be named after any politician.

THEY DID NOT PAY FOR THEM!!! YOU AND I DID!!!


On the day of this writing the lovely and honest Bruce Ohr testified before congress. It’s not public because who the hell are we getting all involved in stuff not our business?

Already stuff is leaking out.


Thursday 8/30/18

Now is the time to speak of that little crab the PETA people have put on a big billboard in Baltimore.

PETA nuts think no animals should be eaten and, in some cases, humans should die that the animals live.

Putting that little crab on a Baltimore billboard was very attention-getting, which was the plan I suppose.

BECAUSE NO ONE….NO ONE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND DOES NOT LOVE CRABS!!!

Get over it.

But it made me smile.

What a dopey dumb thing to do and waste money upon.


Sarah Palin, former Governor of Alaska and once running mate of John McCain.

She was NOT invited to his funeral!!!

What an awful man McCain is. Let’s not forget those over 140 men he killed on the U.S. Forrester.


So Lanny Davis lied about Cohen and his alleged admission that Trump knew all about the meeting with the Russians in Trump Tower?

So who the hell cares?

Trump wasn’t even President at the time.

They are determined to impeach this guy.


Friday date-8/31/18


All day the current news banner on Fox kept reporting that “thousands” attend funeral services for John McCain.

For twenty minutes I watched that hearse and surrounding motorcycles going down the street and during the whole thing I only saw, maybe 5 people.

Which is not to say that thousands won’t turn out when McCain is interred in the Naval Academy cemetery but once again, what the hell is Fox thinking?


So I read that two big associations of realtors, one Delaware wide and one national, have come out and endorsed Tom Carper for Senate.

First, what the hell are they thinking? If people begin buying houses with a frenzy (and I have read several times that it sure won’t be because of anything Tom Carper ever did.

Furthermore, Tom Carper has been around forever. Isn’t it time for that man to go?

Rob Arlette is the guy to vote for.

Carper is older than dirt.


Saturday date-9/1/18


The big news of the day is that Chelsea Clinton and Facebook are joining up to ban any advertisement for classes or meetings that will make a gay person “normal”.

Why can’t these types of things be offered? I sure don’t think anybody should be FORCED to go to these things if there is no desire, but you got a young man who wants to gain touch again with heterosexuality, why can’t he attend these meetings?


Watched the John McCain and Aretha Frankliin funerals and, heh, quite a difference.

While watching the McCain over-drive fun eral, I recalled one John McCain’s most important pieces of legislation.

We all know. It’s the CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM ACT!!!

Sure, John needed a signature piece of legislation and for many months we heard all about this campaign finance reform and I sleep better at night know John McCain saved us all.

On a personal note:

Indeed I did watch the McCain AND the Franklin funeral. Both were quite displays of pomp and circumstance.

McCain’s funeral ceremonies on Saturday was entirely too long but folks, it was glorious. Had an opera singer sing “Danny Boy”. Had small string quartets, giant choirs, some folks not welcome, some gave speeches and read scripture. Sang “Glory, Glory, Hallelujah” with magnificance.

Bill Clinton spoke at Aretha’s funeral ceremonies and my goodness, the man can barely speak anymore.

We are to understand that McCain arranged his entire funeral arrangements, wow, that is odd. To be calling people and disinvite, or invite them, while you are still living….just odd.

Cindy McCain looked absolutely beautiful, perfect hair, make up and poor woman had the camera on her all day. One of McCain’s sons stood next to his mother, looks exactly like his father.

Meghan McCain had to add some snark to the ceremonies, which I’m sure she arranged with her father. “America’s always been great”: she said, awful woman and a slam against Trump.

Also loved Aretha’s getup in her casket; looks like something she arranged.

It was a week of funerals. Next week the nasty talk begins.

I have my own Essay this morning:

Well, Chuck Todd did not get his wish Friday and Mueller didn’t pull a “trap” or any other announcement on Trump.

Todd was spouting the line that Mueller should NOT release a report during the active campaign season, which starts Labor Day (Monday).

So the idea was, Mueller had to release it BEFORE Labor Day, to be fair.

Otherwise, Conservatives and Trump supporters would have an argument the Mueller is all about POLITICS, not justice.

To avoid that charge and label, Mueller has to wait until the election is over. If Mueller tries anything before that, Trump campaigns to his supporters and says, “See, I told you. Witch hunt. This is just another October Surprise “Gotcha”. They held on to this just to give the democrats an edge. It’s an illegal campaign contribution!!! Same old tired politics. You must all vote GOP if you want me to keep at making America Great Again, otherwise they WILL impeach me!” It could create a massive RED wave. The democrats FEAR that. Well, the smart ones do.

Now, you and I know that the left, including Mueller, has not one once of ethics in their bloodstream.

However, impeachment is a POLITICAL process. To bring up any charges DURING the campaign reeks of politics, which supposedly the smarter ones in the Left want to avoid. Maybe.

BUT, to bring it up between Monday and November 3rd is really electioneering, and Pres Trump (and us) can have a field day presenting it as so. HARD for the media to prove otherwise.

The smart money is now Mueller has NOTHING.

If Trump can hold the House, Mueller, Rosenstein, and probably Sessions get fired.

Everything now comes down to the Election.

Once again, if Mueller releases an impeachment report—or assessment that the Trump campaign or the President himself, broke the law or obstructed justice—BEFORE the election, that gives Trump supporting GOP House candidates an edge. A HUGE edge to get out the vote, or lose everything they just got (Economy, fairer trade, tax relief, better respect for the USA military prowess).
The fight will be “why now?”, Witch hunt, Mueller partisan wants to give dems the House, not fair, should’ve waited, the whole cabal plotted to destroy me, stop YOUR progress, annul YOU votes….

I strongly believe that IF Mueller does that, and Trump rallies his voters, and the democrats do not gain the back the House; Muller, Rosenstein, and Sessions will be fired by the President the day after the election.

EVEN the GOPe Senate has relented and read the writing on the wall. Did you know they are trying to pass an agreement to prevent Sessions from being fired before the midterms? After, not so much. Hmmm... they never had that condition before...

If the democrats win back the House, Trump will still fire the 3 Stooges (and probably FBI Director Wray) but the democrats WILL Impeach, but slowly, in order to make it last with phony Adam Schiff led investigations for the next two years. They won’t have enough voted in the Senate until after 2020 (more Republicans up then dems) and they think they can do it all by then.

Without the House to start impeachment, and without the cabal in DoJ Mr. Trump has had to put up with, the democrats got NUTHIN!!!

Either way, this election is the big one, bigger than 2016.

Make sure to vote!!!

Wow! You’re up early!

Thanks for posting!

I thought not inviting the President was classless, but Sarah Palin? That’s just an evil thing to do.

It was McCain, after all, who brought her out of semi-obscurity and set her up as HIS running mate. She then endorsed him later in his Senate reelection, even campaigning for him.

Of course the NY Times then runs a story with the headline:

McCain has Funeral; Trump Plays Golf.

Yeah, he was NOT invited you shit-stirrers, and you KNOW that.

Anyway, someone posted the article here.

Then someone said that Trump should have had Sarah over the White House for diner and televise the whole thing.

Perfect!

There is little question about who or whom is trying to get religion,what the country was founded on, out of the country. Every possible attempt to disengage from any religious symbol except for muslims and other weirdos is now being done by the hard left.They know if they can separate Christians from religion it won't be that hard to separate them from their politics as well. That's the game they are playing.Fortunately they are losing.

It made me weak how they all praised this awful man.

Oh they mentioned his temper from time to time but I heard it was so awful and he was very disliked for his not so nice personality.

Get ready, we shall soon have the same funeral for John Kerry, calling him a hero, tears, celebrities...”wonderful man”....

There are a lot of brave men in this country. John McCain and John Kerry are not anywhere near the top 50%.

Us idiots out here in la-la land where we carry this country on our backs ARE NOT FOOLED.

F.Chuck is going to try and salvage what is left of Gillums candidacy today on MTP but he’s already too late and below is why. Gillum is Obama II only not near as slick. Recently,he freaked out when he learned that one of his buddies was really an FBI undercover investigating him and others for taking bribes in Tallahassee.HIs buddy had his photo taken with the undercober FBI and the NYT ran it on page one.Gillum raised so much hell and pulled so many favors from left wingers he had his photo put on page five of the NYT,many want to know how he did it and why.
Gillum is Mayor of the number one city in crime in Fla.
Gillum is through he just hasn’t figured it out yet.

I posted this a few days ago here.

To: jazusamo
I guess Gillum is going to face a tougher road,one loaded with crime that he is directly responsible for in Leon County.Seems Leon County in North Fla.(Tallahassee) is the number one county in crime accd. to the FDLE for several years now.
Also just like Broward County and the Parkland guys seems Gillum thinks it’s OK not to report so many high school crimes since Obama gives special prizes for schools that don’t report just like Parkland.
It’s all here:
Tallahassee a Dangerous Place to live under Gillum Looky, looky, looky what I found!! Seems the Obama school discipline policy to report fewer arrests has made its way to Mayor Gillums city just like it did in Parkland, wait until the rest of the state finds this out and wait til they find out that once again Leon County(Tallahassee) leads the state in crime,just too good. This guy is toast if we can get this out.

Last June, 18-year-old Brion Williams was being questioned in connection with a fatal shooting on Country Club Drive. Christopher Seabrook, 32, was shot eight times during an argument a few days before. In December, Williams was found guilty of his murder, one of 17 homicides in Leon County in 2015. It also contributed to Leon CountyÂ’s crime rate, the highest in the state for the second consecutive year, according to annual data released last week. The Florida Department of Law EnforcementÂ’s report shows overall, the countyÂ’s crime rate increased 5.7 percent while violent crime saw a spike of 16 percent. The numbers come at a time when state officials are heralding a 45-year low in crime, a 3.1 percent decline that includes drops in 47 counties. The rates are based on reported crimes per 100,000 in population. Miami-Dade County has a population of more than 2.65 million while Leon County has 284,443 residents. The stateÂ’s largest county by population had 217 murders last year. With the number of homicides in Leon County, a county ten times its size would have 170 murders. Miami-Dade ranked fifth in the state in crime rate, with 4,704 crimes committed per 100,000 people. Crime within the city of Tallahassee pushed 2015 numbers with the Tallahassee Police Department responding to the bulk of calls. Murder, forcible sex crimes, robbery, aggravated assaults and property crimes all increased from 2014 to 2015, according to FDLE data. City officials announced last month, ahead of the annual FDLE report, the spike in violent crime. Along with it came a proposal by a 14-member council to adopt a public health model for addressing violent crime. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2016/06/07/leon-county-crime-rate-tops-state-again/85548712/ TPD has also focused on shifting its policing model to more of a preventative approach in which officers are highly visible in communities where violent crime is highest. Chief Michael DeLeo and other officials have continually said increasing arrests is not the answer after decreeing in 2014 the city had a gun violence problem. So, as the number of reported crimes increased, arrests including juveniles taken into custody declined. From 2014 to 2015, there were 1, 279 fewer arrests with 9,087 people taken into custody. The 12 percent decrease includes 798 juvenile arrests. Contact Karl Etters at ketters@tallahassee.com or @KarlEtters on Twitter. additonal link from above. guess what other county thought decreasing the arrest numbers was a good idea ever herard of 17 killed in mass shooting at high school in Parkland, Florida. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2016/06/07/leon-county-crime-rate-tops-state-again/85548712/ ..................
so both Parkland mayors and tallahassee mayors think its a good idea not to arrest so many people in high school must be that obama deal where fewer arrests are rewarded,remember that one!! Broward County Likely

There’s no way Kerry’s gonna die!

I heard he wants to run against Trump in 2020.

Seriously.

I think he’s been a pothead since Vietnam. He was in Vietnam, by the way, in case if you didn’t know.
