“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13 (King James Version)

The Three Pillars (Academia, Media, and the DNC) has finally got their militant pillar to enforce their cult. The thug groups Certain Black Lives Matter and their sister group of Anarchists will now either beat up or kill anyone who disagrees with the Three Pillars of Propaganda. These are exactly the same people who terrorized the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and every other communist dictatorship over the last 100 years and now are established in the DNC.

The cult of Communism is burning the cities again as it uses massive moral relativism to justify any crime or assault since they make the rules, they draw the lines wherever they want. There is no God in their religion only manmade worship and rules similar to Islam. When man makes the rules violence and death will always follow and this is what we are beginning to witness.

In a God based faith there is no negotiating of sins since they are written clearly in the Bible. This is why it has worked efficiently throughout the histoir of America. A little French lingo thrown in for Rush. This is also why they have to eliminate the country’s histoir since they have to prove it does not work when it is clear that it has worked better than any other system in the world. To make it not so they have to change the definition of not working to include racism even though America has lost a half a million men deciding that issue.

My family is the perfect example of America’s opportunity. My GGGrandfather fought and died in the Civil War as a member of the Missouri Confederate Cavalry. He died at 53 yrs. old leaving eight children and a widow who eventually died in Arkansas.

Now everyone will claim he was a racist for fighting for the Confederacy even though he had no slaves they will claim he was fighting to maintain slavery. If that was the case, why was he a Quarter Black as his GGrandmother was a free black woman whose African father immigrated to America freely and claimed 750 acres in Virginia? The reason he likely fought is because the North was doing what they were famous for, taxing and strangling the South for their wealth and the South’s poverty.

My family tree as I found recently is the perfect symbol of the beautiful melting pot of America. It is truly a Heinz 57 family with all sorts of nationalities and colors making the Kaleidoscope which represents America. Does anyone believe these thugs we see roaming the streets would welcome the colorful basket which represents America? Of course not, once they take power you see a tyranny which will rape and pillage for their own satisfaction and oppression. This is and never has been allowed in America.

When my GGGGGrandfather came across from England in 1735 as the founding Bray, men were coming over from Europe in droves. They did not bring families since it was generally a single man’s idea and adventure which meant there was a severe shortage of women to begin families. This is why there was large numbers of Native women married as well as adopted marriages from husbands who were killed as the wives would remarry in a clan or group where I found one man had around a dozen adopted wives and 57 children. This is what happens when you are settling a wild country and protecting the children. When you go back to those days there is a rich history of care and compassion for all races.

These are the statues and history the Three Pillars wants to eliminate since it sheds a different light on America. It was settled by people wanting to make as perfect a land as they could make it according to the limitations of man. I would not be surprised if my Black grandfather came over here claimed the land and had slaves work the land, it is how land was cleared and planted in the 1700s. It was how it has been done since the dawn of man and is not a moral decision but a survival one.

Most plantations kept their slaves decades after the Civil War working out a room and board arrangement which looked remarkably similar to slavery to harvest the crops until the invention of the steam engine. Once tractors and harvesters came onto the farms it was the end of much of the slave labor and the workers assisted the machines which of course the Three Pillars do not like either.

Where did all of these slaves come from and why did they have such a strong Christian faith throughout their histoir? The reason is a large share of the slaves were captured by the Mooselips in the 1700s as they conquered the black Christians across Africa. They would conquer the mostly peaceful Christians rape and kill along the way while capturing slaves by the thousands. They were then sold to the slave traders and shipped to America and every other country around the world. This is still being done in many of the countries in Africa as the slave trade is still being practiced in over 150 countries around the world and not a peep from Certain Black Lives Matter.

The real reason for the Civil War was the South wanted to stay more colonial and less Federal. They had large states which wanted to set their own laws and taxation rather than having it decided by the population centers in NY and the NE Corridor and who could blame them. They were not allowed railroads to move their agriculture and treated like second class citizens which eventually made them want to leave the Union. My Forefather fought even though he was a quarter Black which goes against everything the left is saying. He was fighting against the same thing we would be fighting against today which is an oppressive gummit with excessive taxation, same thing the Revolutionary war was about.

The Three Pillars of Propaganda are rewriting America’s history and making it into something it isn’t. They now have a militant wing which is going to terrorize anyone who does not march in lockstep with their version of how bad America is. Anyone who has a history like mine which does not fit their cookie cutter view will be ignored and shunned. Stories of Blacks coming here freely and marrying daughters to white men and then giving them land to raise a family does not fit the storyline and is verboten.
My family is America. It has every race and struggle from the Revolution to the CW to WWII who all had the save yearning for freedom and America. I am proud of all of them willing to put their lives on the line to fight for what they believe. They were all fighting against tyranny and oppression and for the America we have today.

The people we have fighting against America today are the exact wrong people you want in charge of your lives. These are the same people who built the showers and gas chambers in Germany and had the mass gulags across Siberia, they would kill you for wrong speak and everyone knows it. They are for massive oppression and discrimination based on their definitions of right and wrong. These are the people my family has fought since 1735 and I will continue to fight in 2020. They are the slave owners and we are the freedom fighters.

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.

• 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)

Couple of miscellaneous items.

The church is re-opened. While it holds almost 500 people, only 140 will be let in the first week. As always masks must be worn.

I am not going, yon descendants, until church returns to normal. No way can I sing through a mask.

Also, the stock market arose enough for me to get back to where I started earlier this year. That is good news all around.

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

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENT OF THE WEEK

(another update)

House of Representatives Holds Hearings, Puts on a Show

I listened to some of the speakers at the hearings in the House of Representatives, heralded to be the introduction of new rules for the police.

It was nothing new. Same old, same old.

Below a picture of various Democrats in congress putting on a show wearing silly African scarves and kneeling down for the same amount of time as George Floyd was held down on the ground, about eight and a half minutes.

Nancy Pelosi was unable to get off of her knees.

Image may contain: one or more people, text that says 'Remember how much they yelled and screamed two weeks ago when they thought President Trump was posing for a photo op?????'

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

MAJOR CULTURE EVENT OF THE WEEK

(one more update)

Endless Funerals

The biggest cultural event of the year had to be the endless funeral of George Floyd. Not that, yon descendants, there hadn't already been over ten days of constant talk of this event until one wanted to scream.

Read more on this funeral in my editorial below, yon descendants.

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

PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC

(that my descendants may know how I handled it)

I lose it in the Grocery Store

Yon descendants I must hope you never see my screaming face upon a Youtube video in your lifetimes. Because yon descendants, I went crazy in a grocery story. And somebody got it on video.

But there's a good ending to the story, hang in there.

First, I absolutely hate and despise this thing where when you go into a grocery story, one aisle now requires you only go DOWN, the next one you must go UP....etc. etc. The idea is under this method, everyone would be going the same way and as they follow the cart in front of them, social distancing would be maintained. If the aisles were trafficked the normal way, some carts would be going UP and some DOWN, in the same aisle. Under this method, the way it used to be done, two people would be next to each other as they pass and the virus germs would be crazy with joy as the jump to the cart pusher adjacent to the infected.

Only even with everyone pushing their cart the same way, there is always that idiot in front of you who must stop and assess all diced tomatoes in endless leisure. Social distancing would require that you wait until said shopper chooses the diced tomatoes on sale, the Italian style diced tomatoes and of course, compare all prices.

Most people don't stop and wait but will go around the busy shopper, thus eliminating social distancing for the time it takes to go around.

So the ONE way THIS way of dubbing each aisle really doesn't stop people from being next to each other, at least for time it takes to go around.

And I, yon descendants, find as I age I get more confused about such things and often end up going UP the aisle when it is designated as DOWN. Worse, if I realize my error and try to get back to going the correct way I will have to go UP, DOWN and UP three aisles and me with these awful legs that hate walking.

So I was going in the wrong direction, and I knew it but by then it was too late to turn around and go back, much less travel three to four aisles with legs already aching, to get my aisles straight. So I continued going the wrong way, mentally cussing this stupid King Carney rule that does no good as described above that social distancing is destroyed no matter what way the aisle is directed.

Don't you know some female tells me, to my embarrassment, that I was going the wrong way.

How humiliating is this, yon descendants?

Well I lost it.

I screamed, yon descendants. Screamed. "I AM SO SORRY! I AM GOING THE WRONG WAY! WHAT AN AWFUL PERSON I AM! I AM JUST SO SORRY!" I then pretended to get on my knees to beg. "PLEASE DON'T CALL THE COPS ON ME. I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL!"

The snitch bitch who thought it her job to set the world straight got big eyes and quickly hurried away from my crazy self.

I'm not proud of this, yon descendants. But it felt so good to finally scream at the silliness of it all. The horrible masks that King Carney insists we must wear and like George Floyd, causes me not to be able to breathe. To know that rioters and looters can go down any aisle they want, even go through store windows if they want, and there are no Karens out there telling them to turn around. I noticed out of the side of my eyes that a bunch of people, but of course, from employees to other shoppers, stopped what they were doing and stared at me. Somehow I got in the right aisle and continued UP the next aisle, in the right direction.

When I got to the front of the store, yon descendants you must smile, but all of the cashiers, the customer service offices and many store customers WERE CHEERING ME ON! Some raised their hands, others called me to look at them (cameras were being clicked).....cheers and hoorays.

Seems they were all sick of it too. Except for the Snitch Bitch who was by then I don't know where.

Well I was on a roll. While I continued shopping an automatic voice reminded us shoppers that the aisles were going in one direction only and to watch for them. I would then shout loud , because I'd already lost my reputation, to answer the automatic voice..."BE CAREFUL OF YOUR AISLE DIRECTION SHOPPERS. POLICE WILL BE CALLED AND YOU MIGHT DIE".

This time when I got to the front of the store, the pharmacy section was standing and cheering me on.

We're sick of it, yon descendants. Sick of snitch bitches ready to rid the world of wrong-way-grocery-aisle shoppers, sick that rioters and looters can go anyway they want and don't bother with masks, sick of automatic voices commanding our moves, sick of a silly system that does not work but King Carney controls our lives and we damn well better go down the aisle he says.

And THAT, yon descendants, is this ancestor's story of single-handedly fighting the pandemic like a true American.

OVER THE INTERNET

(social media explains so much)

Here's how I think requiring masks might work in elementary.

Please don’t snap Billy's mask in his face.

Your mask is not a necklace, bracelet, or any other form of jewelry.

You should not be using your mask as a slingshot. Please put it back on your face.

Please do not chew on your mask.

Your mask should be on your face, not on the back of your head

I’m sorry your mask is wet, but that's what happens when you lick the inside of it.

I’m sorry you sneezed. Here's a tissue. Wipe out the snot as well as you can.

No, you may not blow your nose in your mask.

Why is your mask soaking wet? You just came back from the bathroom?

And you put it back on your face after you dropped it?

I’m sorry you broke the elastic on your mask by seeing how far the band would stretch. Now you'll have to hold the mask on your face ... or use this duct tape.

Please take the mask off your eyes and watch where you're walking. I don’t care if you have X-ray vision.

Please take the mask off of your pencil and stop twirling it.

I know the mask fits over your pants like a knee pad, but please take it off of your leg and put it on your face.

What do you mean you tried to eat your lunch through your mask?

Please don't share your mask or trade masks. I don’t care if you like Ingrid's mask better than yours.

I’m sorry, but your mask is not school appropriate.

We're not comparing our masks to other kids' masks… everyone’s mask is unique and special.

No, you may not decorate your mask instead of doing your work. I don’t care if you have a Sharpie.

You're not a pirate, please take your mask off your eye.

Try to get the gum off as much as you can.

Please don't use your mask to pick your nose.

I’m sorry you tripped, but that’s what happens when you put your feet inside the elastic of your mask.

No, your mask doesn't make it hard to get your work done.

Your Mom will need to get you a new mask since you chewed a hole in that one.

Why is there a shoe print on your mask?

No, you cannot eat the snow through your mask.

I don’t care if you were in art class and being creative; we do not decorate our masks.

We do not beam other kids in the face with balls. No, their masks don’t make it not hurt.

Please don't plug your nose holes with your mask.

Who's making that noise?

I’m sorry your ponytail is stuck, that’s what happens when you see how many times you can wrap it around your mask.

I’m sorry to tell you, but your child thought her mask made her a superhero. She tried to fly off the jungle gym at recess …

I’m sorry your breath stinks in your mask, maybe we should all try to brush better.

Please take those cookies out of your mask. No, you are not a chipmunk.

EDITORIAL

(My opinion for my descendants)

Is there such a thing as overkill? The Floyd funeral

The funeral for George Floyd, yon descendants, was long, boring and well....shameful.

Yes the man deserved a good farewell and might I wish him to rest in peace? It was horrible what happened to him but the funeral had absolutely no class and by me, was embarrassing.

I begin with the white horses and carriages for the casket as well as two more such ostentatious funeral getups for family and friends. It looked like a wedding instead of a funeral.

Oh, and the gold casket. Some single-parent Mom could feed her family for a week for what the coffin costs.

These were brought out for travel to the burial site. The funeral before it was just as silly and positively embarrassing.

The singing was awful. Screaming, screeching and out of tune.

The eulogies were okay but one teenager, George Floyd's niece, made a comment meant to endear her to America. "We are told that we should make America great again," this brat begins. "But when was America ever great?"

So okay, maybe she's angry, lost a favorite Uncle and all that. But shouldn't she just have left that bit out.?

And please let's not forget that George Floyd was no perfect person. Darn if the picture of him up on the altar didn't show him with a halo over his head and wings on his back.

Come on. All that nonsense just takes away from the real sobriety the funeral should hold.

And Al Sharpton! Goodness knows this man cannot get enough time in front of a camera.

I'm sorry folks, It lasted SIX HOURS!

Yes, yon descendants, there really is such a thing as overkill.

TIME FOR A SMILE

😂 Funniest 🐱 Cats And 🐶Dogs - Awesome Cute Pet Animals' Life ...

I - - Me; an individual; a committee of one.

Pledge - - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.

Allegiance - - My love and my devotion.

To the Flag - - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.

United - - That means that we have all come together.

States - - Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country.

And to the Republic - - Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

For which it stands One Nation - - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.

Indivisible - - Incapable of being divided.

With Liberty - - Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.

And Justice - - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.

For All - - For All--which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.

And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country,
and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God.
Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

[by Red Skelton]

If this is for me I cannot thank you enough.

My grocery story is true. Got hundreds of likes on Facebook.

Heh.

I had a ball.

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev’ry heart beats true
‘neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Great essay there Bray.

First, hope this week finds you well with steadily beating heart.

But you explain very well about America, our Civil War, your ancestry and how many slaves really got here.

You should be teaching school.

Maybe the students would graduate knowing a thing or two.

Since nowadays so many want to tear down our country, our culture, our unique and consistent rule of law, it is imperative for us all to show our patriotism and love of our cultural and national traditions.

Wave the flag, sing a patriotic song, think about how far we’ve come.

Do not lament. God is still in Heaven.

I apologize to those posting American flag glory pictures.

Today IS Flag Day, no?

Who will bet their home on whether a MSM anchor today
will wear the US flag on their lapel??

Trump’s Birthday...

Yes. Every June 14th is Flag Day. They don’t move it to the nearest Monday to give bureaucrats yet another paid day off.

Bravo!!!!!!

Already I see the beloved Chris Wallace being interviewed on Fox News Sunday.

He is wearing NO flag pin.

Huzzah!!

Thanks for posting that history and perspective on race. We are dealing with people who want to destroy America, and exploting people on their plantations is just one of their tools. They create racial division to use as a distraction.
