“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Romans 12:12 KJV
Why do we have one Party which is so full of hatred they would rather see people die than be seen as helping President Trump. How devoid of humanity do you have to be?

For the past few years, I have used one of the Ancestry companies to trace back the Bray family and when it came to America. I had it traced back to around 1810 and then the trail went dead. I was stuck there for a year, but the rumor was it went back to the Virginia Compact well I had a breakthrough last Friday.

I had been stuck on Benjamin Bray who fought and died in the Confederate in the Missouri Calvary his trail had gone cold when I found his mother and then her husband and then it opened again. Turns out my seven Great Grandfather came over around 1735 from England and was a Pastor. The interesting thing is he found and married a free black woman and had the first Bray son in America.

If the finding is correct which it looks pretty solid, I have Negro blood in my family and the Brays have been here nearly three hundred years. This obviously means I can use the word nigger since I am partially one and I hereby give everyone the right to say it whenever you feel like using it too. How amazing is it that my ancestor came across to Virginia and married a black woman whose father immigrated from Africa freely?

I doubt any of them could have imagined coming to America to lose all their freedoms over a phony disease. First off you have a far less than one percent chance of dying from it and of that one percent ninety percent of those have deadly underlying complications such as being elderly and one foot in the grave. Is America going to fear getting sick from now on? Is that now the threshold of shutting down?

This is the first disease which has been completely politicized. It is also now officially part of the cult of liberalism since the Cuomo are speakers for the most botched up state in the country. When you know it is hardest on the elderly and have watched it go through senior centers like the flu how do you insist you send the people back to those homes with the bug? He also allowed his doctors to use respirators too much which killed people of that age bracket in droves.

That said, it is time to open the country including NYC. It is obvious the bug is being used as a political club to beat Trump and is nowhere near what they claimed it would be. There is no proof whatsoever this putting everyone on house arrest has saved one life and it appears the states who defied the shutdown have done better than those which shutdown.

At what point do we realize the people in charge are giving a vacation to the public workers while the people who pull the wagon are losing their houses. Unless the statists who run the Blue states take off the handcuffs there are going to be mass foreclosures like America has never seen. Let the people go and take a miniscule risk by going outside and going back to work.

This virus is not nearly as bad as was reported and the models were as bad as the Global Warming and Hillary victory models of the past. It is time for America to be given their Rights back and open the doors while there are still doors to open. The reason is the Democrat media has once again found a club they think can defeat their biggest enemy in histoir and have made a disease a political tool.

Personally, I have found when my family came to this great country and like we have always suspected found where the family came from just north of London. I can die happy knowing how my ancestors settled this great country and how big a part they had in doing just that.

Pray for the election.

Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.

Your heritage is interesting but what you do here is priceless and it happens week after week,thanks for doing what you do.

• 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.

• Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail. We shall, as always, end with a smile.

MISC. PANDEMIC NOTES OF THE WEEK

(an update for my descendants)

4/29/20

As the date indicates it is almost the end of April. In a few days it shall be be May and thus far Americans has been trapped in their homes for over 45 days. There is an end in sight but no view of life ever getting back to where it used to be.

For we used to go to baseball games. We attended movies and ate lunch and dinner at favored restaurants. Every day we'd get up, attend to morning chores and plan our errands for the day.

Now, no more. Yes I can go to a grocery store but goodness yesterday I went to Walmart and it was like being a living chess piece.

First, you can only go in one door that they may count how many are in the store. Those who rule us, the Governors and congress which does not meet for their job, have determined that only 50% of human capacity will be allowed in stores to allow for something called "social distance". So somebody at the Walmart counts the people going in and out. Then, once inside there was some kind of ribbon wrapped all around the store, like a crime scene tape, to guide the hapless shopper around those parts selling food only.

Some of our rulers in varied states have determined, in their holy wisdom and crowns upon their heads, that stores can only sell food. I must assume that Walmart, being located in many states, set up these tape things that we dare not, WE DARE NOT I TELL YOU, buy paint even if sold in the same store.

As of this writing this is not the case in my home state of Delaware so even with crime scene tape wrapped all around there were places in my Walmart's tape that one could walk through. I bought a pillow and an electronic aroma device and nobody arrested me.

Then all the aisles were marked either "This way" or "that way" and shoppers were confused, including me, sometimes stopping in the middle of the aisles and letting out loud sobs.

At any rate, our rulers are telling us how to live, what to buy and when, and guess what? We must now all wear masks here in Delaware. Our ruler has so decided.

I hope, should my descendants be reading this, that this wonderful country never does this again, shutting down the economy and appointing ruling classes that command what we wear, buy and eat.-----------------------------

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENT OF THE WEEK

(another update)

Oh my goodness, our current president, Trump, has been giving a news conference every day, informing us of any updates and issues that need addressing.

He brings along some "experts" and add these experts to the politicos and Governors that dictate how we should live.

So President Trump, who so far is doing a pretty good job of handling this mess although he often gets little help from the politicos , including the Republican politicos who are supposed to be on his side.

President Trump has his habits, I say to my descendants. One of them is to kind of "think out loud". I don't mean this as a criticism but we got a lot of dumb people in this country who, I dunno, maybe haven't been around people with personality quirks that they learn to understand.

So Trump addresses one of his beloved experts about disinfectants, including the world famous Lysol. and ultra-violet light. Because while the Covid-19 is beginning to go its merry way, the search is on for a vaccine to keep it from coming back.

Trump begins his thinking out loud, conducting a semi-private conversation with one of his experts about using ultra-violet light inside of the body to kill the virus. The expert says it's being worked on so Trump goes on to liquid disinfectants and he muses that perhaps we could have such a disinfectant to swallow that will kill the nasty virus in our very lungs.

Somehow the news people took this self-reflection of the president (which, hey, was a bit awkward. Trump should stop his self-reminisce in front of the entire world) to mean perhaps we should shove ultra-violet lights somewhere inside of us and maybe drink some Lysol?

Of course the president never said such a thing and, indeed, his "expert" nodded that some sort of disinfectant inside of us is certainly possible.

The wail went out. "PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS US TO DRINK LYSOL" the papers and pundits shouted.

Here's the upshot of all of this: anybody who thinks the President of the United States told his citizens to drink Lysol is too dumb to be giving themselves any kind of medicine.

----------------------------------

MAJOR CULTURE EVENT OF THE WEEK

(one more update)

I'm not sure that someday in the future my descendants will even know who this Kim Jung-Un is. In fact, I'm even hoping that there will be no North Korea when my descendants come to be. If God is in his heaven, all of Korea will be one country instead of being dictated to by some fat little nothing-burger with the worst haircut in the world.

Currently North Korea is controlled by Red China, in the form of Kim-Jung-Un and prior by some other Kim-Jung-(something). Red China, by the way, source of this Covid-19 that almost destroyed America, doesn't want humans to be free to pursue their own happiness. China wants its citizens to pursue the happiness of its leaders, much like many of our own politicos grew to love the new power placed upon them.

At any rate, Kim-Jung was rumored to be dead. Actually, as of this writing, he's still rumored to be dead although, ahem, it is said that he is very much alive.

I doubt my descendants, as they read my missives, will care very much about this creep, or even North Korea. But it is the big culture story of the week.

If he died from Covid-19 trust that China will never admit it.

-------------------------------------

PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC

(that my descendants may know how I handled it)

I am supposed to get a check, as is most of America, for $1,200. As of this writing I have not received.

Yes, America did come up with a plan to give most of its citizens a certain amount of money per individual, for each child, loans for small businesses.....money, money, money everywhere.

But the IRS delayed filing of 2020 income taxes until July 15 and these refunds are, I think, based on income tax returns. My brother-in-law does my income taxes and he is, like everyone else, delayed for being locked up and having employees struggling to work from home. Thus my 2019 annual income tax return has not been filed so maybe that's the delay.

Or maybe it's not a delay. Nobody really knows.

Bureaucracies.....more un-elected people having power over us all.

--------------------------------------

OVER THE INTERNET

(social media explains so much)

Below from a Facebook post:

Today marks at least 4 weeks of isolation. Been running 2.5 miles a day, drinking 2 gallons of water, cut out ALL meat, sugar, dairy and flour. I feel great! Zero alcohol, a healthy vegan diet, gluten free, caffeine free, sugar free and a 30 minute home workout each day.

Cleaned out all the closets and garage and finished half the home projects on our list!!!

I have no idea whose post this is, but I am really proud of them so I decided to copy & paste!

Facebook ....heh. ordinary people with the funniest senses of humor.

REVIEWS TV SHOWS

(since I watch so much TV, not for my descendants)

Reasonable Doubt

First, should my descendants still know me when reading this, they would know that I am a true crime buff. And, what with watching TV on every channel known to man and some I even paid for, I came upon the ID "Investigation Discovery" channel, filled with true crime type of programs, most of them repeats off of other channels. "Discovery" and "48 Hours" would be an example of this.

However ID DOES have some original shows and one of my favorite airs on Tuesday at 10 pm. "Reasonable Doubt" is a true crime type of show that appeals to me.

First, during this pandemic it seems a lot of the politicos and rulers think that letting people out of jail is a good idea. THIS show too has a basis of letting people out of jail but only after proving that the ones needing to be let out should never have been in jail to begin with.

First, let me establish that I think a way vast majority of people in jail really do belong there. America, for all of its quirks and quivers, has a very good justice system and mostly does not desire to put innocent people in jail. This means, mostly, that the truly guilty parties are free and allowed to commit their crimes. Of late there have been a few groups that sprung up with an endeavor to free "innocent" people unfairly jailed.

This show features one such a group. A few people joined together to review claims that this guy or that girl is in jail unfairly. The viewer gets to watch as those who make this assertion are interviewed for the reasons they think their loved one, neighbor or friend is wrongly in jail. Members of this group then investigate their claims of innocence.

One of the most frequent reasons of those reporting people unfairly jailed is that the law enforcement investigating the original crime refused to look beyond their loved one. This, in fact, in the few times I've watched the show, is untrue. The "investigator" will talk to the sheriff or detective who investigated the original crime and discover that plenty of other suspects were looked into. The viewer will learn that they all had alibis and couldn't have committed the crimes in question.

This investigation into those claimed to be in jail while innocent continues, with more assertions. They might claim that the alleged perp was too weak to lift the dead body. The investigators will find someone of same size and shape and set up a copy of the dead body disposal. Either the proxy can lift the body so assertion is not true, or proxy cannot lift the body so assertion is true.

As of this writing, and after watching a few, none of those declared in jail while innocent has been proved correct.

It's an interesting show and holds my interest the whole time.

Prodigal Son

Prodigal Son' review: New serial killer drama fails to shine

This show airs on Fox, Mondays at 9 pm.

I do not like this show.

The premise of the show is that Malcolm Bright is the son of a famous serial killer , Martin Whitley. There's a background between these two. When Malcolm was a young boy he was the one of identified his father as the serial killer he was.

Martin Whitley also has a daughter, who is in the series, and an ex-wife, who also starred as the First Lady on Scandal.

Malcolm Bright is a consultant in the show for the NYPD. Thus there is always some crime for Bright to help find in that position.

The show also features a lot of interaction of characters which I find very confusing and boring. First, the serial killer Martin Whitley, annoys the hell out of me. He's a freaking former serial killer that has to be tied with an iron rope on a wall to receive visitors. He killed 23 women back when he was active.

Bellamy Young is a boring character and so is Malcolm's sister.

If my father were a serial killer I'd stop having anything to do with the man. Yet this show features the weird dynamics of an alcoholic mother, a sister who is a reporter, and Malcolm, who was fired from the FBI.

These dynamics are not even remotely interesting although, on occasion, the active case being investigated by Malcolm for the NYPD is interesting.

I hope this show is off the air so my descendants do not have to endure.

TIME FOR A SMILE

Every time I extend my hand to shake hands with someone and they try and bump elbows with me instead I think: well we lost this round.

Then I go to the CVS or the Publix where you better follow the arrows or get a one way street ticket from the stock boy I think:

well we lost this one.

Then I look at our only road,US1,with closed businesses littering the entire length,the only road in or out of the Keys and notice there are very few cars.Why is this? There’s a road block at the county line allowing only locals into the Keys and well by now you get it,we have lost and given up free will.

We have lost this round and my goal at this point is to alert everyone to what has actually happened and make sure when the flu season starts in late Nov. or early Dec. that:

We don’t let them do it again.
.......................

Now if you are wondering who “they” are how it all happened and what is actually going on a well known minister has put it all together in a half hour video that is so good it’s really all you need in the way of explanation of who screwed us how when and why.

I tried to summarize bits and pieces of it and it’s here: Rich guys, Davos,Corona,Gates,its all here DONT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!! https://www.youtube.com/watch? time_continue=1620&v=uyxj_VJrHcc&feature=emb_title

Pastor Danny Jones leads the way to freedom.

Danny Jones is a native of Buford, Georgia. He is a graduate of North Gwinnett High School, North Georgia College, and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.( hew as also pre-med ) Danny was ordained into the ministry in 1990 and after serving as pastor in 3 other churches, he became pastor of Northlake Baptist Church in 2007. There is so much here you can’t pick it all up in just one session it will take more than one.It’s all put together so well and makes perfect sense.

What’s been going on is extremely well organized and executed by the Globalists, cabal,Illuminati it’s hard to imagine anyone could put a coup like this together but it happened is still happening and some don’t want it to end.It’s absolute power and we all know what the slogan is.

It’s all a big circle, Fauci,Gates,Corona,back to Fauci.

All this started before the virus was ever discovered,(by most)stock manipulations,preparations,etc. all very well known.Jones shows how so many issues happened before corona was ever on anyone’s mind and how it was all pre-planned that coincidence is out of the question.We were all set up.

There is no question that once a patient dies doctors are bullied(also paid well) into making sure they list covid 19 as “the” cause of death which will spike all the statistics forever into forcing people to think that it really was covid as a COD when all it was was a contributing factor only to older, sick, people who already had underlying conditions. Diabetes, cancer, obesity, you name the problem covid made it worse. But, was it actually the cause, never.

CDC makes sure all cases are reported as covid even though virtually none are the actual COD but only accelerated other previously existing diseases.

Pastor Jones goes on to state that covid 19 is “a mfg. crisis” designed to deceive people into accepting the NWO,new world order,(.At the time of this video)there are 39 million of cases of flu already with 30-60k die every year and economy is never shut down.

We have been deceived and manipulated. Is it all about evil being perpetrated on earth,could be. Then there is this:

Never let a serious crisis go to waste: Rham Emanuel.

Stop and think about all the changes we have accepted in almost no time at all. cnnabccbsmsnbc etc, “give up liberty or we all will die”. That’s the mantra that the media has successfully implanted into our brains. Shelter in place,6 feet apart,close down the economy,obey big brother at any cost,summation:it’s all BS,all lies.

One world solution, one world govt. one world bs,social distancing,all BS. Jones suggests this is a “trial run at martial law”,which worked so well martial law “wasn’t even needed”.We have neighbors ratting out neighbors,crashing the economy,30 million lost jobs, stock market savaged, our savings gone,govt. picking which businesses will survive and which ones won’t.NO more God!Only science is to be believed. No more handshaking,worst part is: it all worked.

Taking govt. money means you will obey govt. regulations.

Univ. income 1,200 to adults 500 to kids,6 trillion accd. to Trump for all this.(We paid the Illuminati to conquer us,what a plan) Jones is afraid the nat. debt will climb to 30 trillion before too long. When interest rates go back up the interest alone will be a huge part of our budget. Possibly 15%,6 trillion a year? What if that happens?

Here is the next step:the nano chip.

Bill Gates has already devised a nano chip that can be injected into a person at the same time as a vaccination is. This,is more Davos/inspired one world govt.—where 3,000 of the worlds richest people decide how the world will be run every year. More control by the mighty, chips will keep track of us all (and the vaccine has so much crap in it, our immune system will undoubtedly suffer).

The real question is what will you do stop depending on others?It’s time to get it done yourself.Will the vaccine come with a biometric tatoo? What will the grand scheme of things be? Were those that are now getting ready to sell the vaccines and chips the ones who originally created the virus to begin with?

Will buying and selling health care and a biometric tatoo with accompanying vaccinations be our future?

Could be.

Attn: Side Bar: “America Together-Returning to work”...this evening, Sunday, May, 3rd, 2020, Fox News Channel TV, 7:00-9:00 PM (EST)...then two more FNC TV hours of commentary and followup...POTUS, Trump town Hall Rally, hosted by FNC Bret Baier & Martha McCallum. Millions of Americans of all political stripes, and millions of POTUS, Trump supporters and Loyalists will be tuned in on TV!!! Be there to stand with and aside our great POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! Go Trumpie!!! Destroy the entire Democrat “Traitor/Turncoat” Party...politically...100%!!!

Excellent analysis of what we are living through and how we need to realize that we have been had,fooled,brought to our knees for no reason at all other than those seeking power over the world.

.........

on the lighter side:

Something y’all can read while you wait for Fox News Sunday... (I hope you’ll then realize what a dope Wallass is)

FNC’s Wallace: I Don’t Understand People ‘Rallying’ to Flynn’s Side — He Lied to the FBI
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3841224/posts

Taking govt. money means you will obey govt. regulations.

Here is the next step:the nano chip.

Is good to be Apparatchik, everyone kiss you ass.

Only problem is being Nicolae Ceaușescu or Benito Mussolini at end of career or one of Stalin's no longer needed Apparatchiks

Is this all group/think and little else.
Many thanks to pugmama who fired this one over to me and it really does sum up what is happening:
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/04/covid1984.html?fbclid=IwAR185t9Bv_HqAgIgO17W31qMH5qcgaaMD1CZ92Q58Cqfaj5zvvWQiLP0NP0

Below is just one paragraph from the piece which is extremely well done:

“The reality is that most of us are not so independent-minded and courageous; rather, we are easily influenced by groupthink. Made famous by George Orwell in his novel 1984, groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational and dysfunctional decision-making outcome. The desire for cohesiveness produces a tendency to agree at all costs, minimizing conflicts and resulting in decisions made without critical evaluation. Groupthink occurs within government decision-making and also in smaller corporate settings. Successful organizations try to avoid it because it prevents a full analysis of difficult issues and results in poor decisions. Social media add a new power to groupthink as mob pressure to conform to popular social media hashtags and promotions further alienates critical thought.”

The thing that confuses me about the Flynn thing, what the hell was that bit about Pence being lied to by Flynn?

At the time that was the reason given for President Trump firing Flynn.

Why on earth did Pence come out and say Flynn lied to him? About what? I know it was something about a conversation he had with some Russian guy.

As for Chris Wallace.....I just won’t watch Fox News Sunday any more. In fact, haven’t watched it for quite a few weeks now.

What is Fox thinking keeping this guy on the payroll? Nobody I know can stand the man.

Sadly, Maria has 2 Deep State traitors - Miss Lindsey and Gowdy...

It appears Barr/Durham is slow walking their “investigation”.

Will America ever see true justice?

It’s getting close to acknowledging the “soapbox” and “ballot box” no longer functions and our last option is the “ammo box”.

Rham Emanuel.

A long time ago I spelled a guy's name jhon. Some wise guy told me: no, it's not ja-hawn. So now I will say it's not are-ham.

I’m dying to know, Bray, if and how Oregonians are reacting, responding to Gov. Kate Brown’s July lockdown.

I assume and worry your state legislature is running low on patriots-—as is your court system.

How do you beat this ? Who the hell does she think she is ? In competition with the Michibitch ?

Rumors are that FNC is now run by the wives of the new owners who are decidedly on the left.Problem is their revenue comes from viewers on the right. So it will be interesting to see how this all winds up.

One answer to your comment is to imagine if instead of 10 children dying of COVID, all with major health problems, there were 100 that died of COVID. Would the media make a big deal of it? Flu deaths outnumber COVID by about 10 to 1 among children, most with health preexisting problems.

But what if over 1000 children died of flu? Do you think the media might make a story out that? Well we know the answer. Swine flu targeted children and killed over 1000 in the US in 2009. But Trump was not president then.
